I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 269 Karin Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki

Konoha, the iconic gate.

The two Hyuga Chunin guarding the gate were full of respect when they saw the newcomer.

"Brother Ye, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

Naruto Uzumaki waved his hands excitedly, carrying a huge suitcase on his back; yesterday felt like a dream.

First, he was assigned a huge house in the center of Konoha, then he inherited a huge fortune, and he also had to find out who his parents were.

It all felt like a dream. The Third Hokage never had this back then, but he had it ever since Yoru became stronger than a Kage in Konoha.

Jiraiya, standing to the side, wore a smug smile as he ruffled Naruto's blond hair with his large hand, but a hint of tension lurked deep in his eyes. Something was wrong with Naruto!

"Jiraiya, are you really not going to let Naruto stay for a couple more days? I was planning to reveal Naruto's identity in the next day or two."

Uchiha Yoru spoke with a broad smile, and Jiraiya burst into laughter upon hearing it.

"Haha, I'll train Naruto properly."

At this time, Naruto was still too young, and suddenly he had to face the turning point in the village. Jiraiya was also afraid of hurting the child's feelings.

Moreover, Naruto is suspicious! Jiraiya pondered to himself. He needed to remove this unstable element from the village first, and then investigate thoroughly over the next few years.

Just then, three figures appeared. Kakashi Hatake, who had white hair, looked surprised when he saw the figures at the entrance of Konoha.

Kakashi, scratching his white hair, greeted them lazily, "Jiraiya-sama and Yoru, you're both here."

Seeing Kakashi becoming increasingly lazy, a stark contrast to his previous transformation, Jiraiya wondered to himself, "Is this the release of pressure after a successful reform?"

"Kakashi, you can't let your personality interfere with your training."

Kakashi chuckled at this and waved his hand, saying, "I have a mission to complete, so I'll be going now."

"Ao, Yamato, follow me."

"Yes!" Yamato and Kirigakure Ao shouted nervously, immediately following along like pure ninjas.

Outside the gates of Konoha, Uchiha Yoru watched the departing figure and narrowed his eyes.

Naruto Uzumaki, as expected of the protagonist, is still so young yet his worldview is not distorted. It is obvious that there is definitely a problem here, at the very least Ashura reincarnation or chakra is influencing him.

Moreover, he couldn't act recklessly. If he really alarmed that old man Liudao, he would only be considered a slightly stronger ant in Liudao's eyes.

"However, Sasuke is different."

Uchiha Yoru's lips curled into a confident smile. He was going to take good care of Sasuke these next few years.

Throughout the original story, Indra realized that only power could make everything possible. Later, due to the injustice of the six realms and the instigation of Black Zetsu, Indra and Ashura turned against each other.

This shows that Indra is a person of normal thinking. In addition, he inherited the Sage's Eyes. The more powerful his Sharingan is, the more obsessive his personality becomes.

Furthermore, Black Zetsu had previously manipulated him, which gave him his confidence. Another reason was that he even suspected Black Zetsu had discovered that Indra was unaffected.

In the original work, Sasuke was also stubborn and rebellious in the later stages, which at least proves that the Sage of Six Paths did not master Ashura, perhaps because he inherited the Sage's Eyes.

But all of this is no longer relevant to him.

……

The Hokage's office.

"Tsunade, lately the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire has been anything but quiet."

Uchiha Yoru handed over the intelligence scroll with amusement, and Tsunade gave it a cold snort after reading it.

"Back when my grandfather and second grandfather were alive, the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire was completely subservient to the Hokage. They dared not have the slightest objection. Now, hmph."

It's obvious that Tsunade also has some dislike for the Daimyo's mansion.

After all, one is influenced by one's surroundings. The rule of the first and second generations was vastly different from that of the third generation, so there was a slight resentment in my heart, but it was not brought out.

However, the spread of Uchiha Yoru's policies and ideas directly stirred up that lingering dissatisfaction in his heart.

When Uchiha Yoru saw this, he smiled and tapped his fingers on the table, and three masked ANBU figures appeared.

Itachi Uchiha, Fu Yamanaka, and Torune Aburame appeared respectfully.

"Hokage-sama, Night-sama."

There's no need to say much about Itachi Uchiha. Aburame Torune was abandoned by Root and was trained to become a confidant of Uchiha Yoru, and also Itachi's comrade.

As for the mountain wind, it was a capable assistant obtained after the roots were incorporated.

Looking at the three of them, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and slowly tossed an information scroll to them.

"Itachi, this time you will be the team leader, with Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune as your teammates."

"Don't make too much of a commotion. Just get rid of those old guys at the Fire Temple who firmly believe that all power should be ruled by the daimyo!"

"yes!"

Uchiha Yoru directly revealed his killing intent. This was a warning. He intended to slowly erode everything that the so-called daimyo relied on, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. When he was in a good mood, the daimyo would be nothing more than a lucky charm; when he was in a bad mood, he would simply kick him aside.

Seeing this, Tsunade didn't say anything, after all, with their current strength, the Daimyo had become an obstacle.

"Oh, right, the reward for this mission!"

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru looked at the three of them. The three of them wanted to shake their heads and say something about Konoha, but he seemed to have thought of something.

"Oh right, I've thought of the reward for this. Doesn't the Fire Temple have a lineage of immortal cultivation techniques? Let's use that as the reward for this."

"The three of you are my trusted confidants, and Yamanaka Fu! I hope that in the future you and Aburame Torune can support the Root. This method of cultivating immortal arts will serve as the foundation for improving your strength."

Uchiha Yoru's actions cost him nothing, yet he got someone to perform a mission and made them incredibly excited, especially considering this was a method of cultivating Sage Mode.

Looking at the five great ninja villages, you can forget about mastering such an S-rank forbidden technique unless you have a special reason or special merit.

Yamanaka Fu was especially excited. If they completed this mission perfectly, they would directly enter Uchiha Yoruichi's field of vision.

"Yes! We guarantee we'll complete the mission."

The three shouted excitedly, while Uchiha Yoru acted as if nothing had happened, turning his head to smile at Tsunade.

"Tsunade, please inform everyone that Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage, and also tell everyone that Naruto Uzumaki has been taken as a disciple by Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin."

As Uchiha Yoru made this move, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu listened respectfully from the side, while Uchiha Itachi's eyes revealed a hint of worry.

If Naruto's identity is exposed, then doesn't that prove that he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

"Tch, you're such a worrywart."

Although Tsunade's face was full of disdain, her eyes revealed arrogance. See? This is my man. He generously resolved the tragedy caused by the previous generation.

"By the way, spread the news that Karin Uzumaki has become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at the same time, and remember to also mention that this generation's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is our disciple."

Karin Uzumaki! Upon hearing this name, Itachi Uchiha was taken aback, but then he calmed down. Lord Yoru was trying to confuse the situation and hide the true Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"You and Orochimaru are really bold."

Even Tsunade couldn't help but admire these two when this matter was mentioned. They actually dared to take advantage of the Shinigami and even created a second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. It was unbelievable.

Karin Uzumaki revealed that she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in order to protect Naruto Uzumaki. After all, being the son of the Fourth Hokage made it worthwhile.

At the same time, it will let everyone know that this generation's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been taken in as a disciple by the Fifth Hokage Tsunade and Uchiha Yoru, and will also stop some people's hatred.

After all, he didn't want Karin to suffer the same treatment as Naruto in the original work.

Afterwards, Konoha issued a statement revealing that Naruto Uzumaki was the son of the Fourth Hokage, not the Nine-Tailed Fox or anything like that.

The Konoha ninja were immediately shocked and in uproar. The Fourth Hokage had a child?! They had protected the village's fourth Hokage's child all these years!

Then the news spread that Jiraiya, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, had taken Naruto Uzumaki as his disciple, and that he was now training with the child.

Just as everyone was feeling sentimental, another piece of news broke: the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Karin Uzumaki, a child they had never heard of or seen before, and apparently a girl.

Then the child was taken in as a disciple by the current Hokage, Tsunade, and Uchiha Yoru.

……

Dawn Base.

Pain, revealing his Rinnegan, looked at the intelligence report from Konoha and said in a deep voice, "Madara, Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has changed?"

Masked Madara Obito sneered and said disdainfully, "It's just a boring trick."

"Back then, Konoha had an incident involving a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki experimental subject. I'm afraid that Karin Uzumaki, who is now in this position, is just a pawn that was cultivated."

"The real Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still Naruto Uzumaki. Uchiha Yoru's actions are nothing more than an attempt to win people's hearts through the Fourth Hokage. It's a boring trick."

With a mask that seemed to see through everything, Obito sneered, "Ignore this so-called Karin Uzumaki. She's just an imposter pushed to the forefront. When it comes to capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the target will still be this Fourth Hokage's son, Naruto Uzumaki."

Hearing Obito's explanation, Pain suddenly understood and nodded, saying, "I see. They put forward a fake to attract everyone's attention, while the real Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is hidden."

Jinchuriki are a deterrent weapon for all the major ninja villages, so they are naturally kept hidden. Even if they are exposed, their information and whereabouts within the village will be erased or misled.

These are all common tricks used by various ninja villages.

At the same time, these two announcements from Konoha were also sent to the desks of the major ninja villages.

However, the reactions of the various moviegoers were quite different, with many falling silent.

To so arrogantly reveal one's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is simply a display of confidence in one's own strength.

Some even suspect that Uchiha Yoru has already achieved perfect control over the Nine-Tails using his Sharingan.

After all, this has happened before. Their intelligence records that during the Battle of the Valley of the End, the Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara, rode the Nine-Tails to fight against the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

……

Konoha, the home of the Uchiha clan.

"Lord Night, that's enough."

Karin Uzumaki, her face flushed, lifted her lower abdomen, revealing the seal mark of the sealing technique, and Yoru Uchiha placed his warm palm on it.

"Karin, calm your mind. I'm about to enter your body to help you resolve some troubles."

"Yes!" Karin Uzumaki hurriedly put aside her impure thoughts, her expression gradually becoming serious.

She knew that only by becoming a perfect Jinchūriki could she be qualified to stand behind Lord Yoru.

A crimson light flashed in Uchiha Yoru's eyes, and the two of them instantly changed their perspective.

A golden cage appeared before them, and inside the cage was a huge fox. When it saw the newcomer, it immediately revealed its terrifying eyes in anger.

"Damn it! It's you ninjas again! Just wait until I get out of here, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Before them stood a terrifyingly enormous Nine-Tails. The difference was that the Nine-Tails that had wreaked havoc in Konoha was orange, while this one had grayish-brown fur.

"Are you talking about me?!"

Karin was momentarily overwhelmed by the Nine-Tails' terrifying aura; after all, as a sensory ninja, she could sense the Nine-Tails' terror even more clearly.

At that moment, Uchiha Yoru shielded Karin behind him, and the Sharingan in his eyes slowly evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan. When Kurama saw these eyes, his expression clearly froze.

Clearly, the nine-tailed fox was recalling some terrifying memory, and a ferocious killing intent appeared on its face.

"Kaleidoscope! I never expected it to reappear in this generation, and it's even an Eternal-level being on par with Madara!"

Clearly, the Nine-Tails, having lived for so long and witnessed thousands of years of changes in the ninja world, knows a great deal.

"Kyuubi, the Jinchūriki of Karin's generation, I hope you can cooperate well with her, adapt as soon as possible, and become a qualified and perfect Jinchūriki."

Uchiha Yoru's calm voice echoed in the space, and his composed expression only fueled Kurama's furious roar.

"Uchiha brat, are you ordering me around?!"

However, Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Sharingan calmly stared at his opponent, while the giant fox was equally ferocious and unwilling to back down.

How could it, the mighty Nine-Tailed Fox, the strongest tailed beast, possibly submit?

"Nine-Ra, there are some things I need to tell you, and I think you must be curious about them too."

Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned by the name "Kurama!" and its eyes showed disbelief. But looking at the domineering brat, it swallowed back the words it wanted to say.

Uchiha Yoru, however, calmly continued speaking to himself.

"There's a mysterious force in the ninja world that even I can't trace. One member of this force, I think you're quite familiar with, claims to be Uchiha Madara!"

"Impossible!" Upon hearing the name Uchiha Madara, Kurama immediately bristled, staring wide-eyed in shock. "Damn it, this old guy is still alive?"

It was already tough enough with just a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan from the Uchiha clan; if this old guy is still alive, what kind of mess is this?

That's too much of a bullying of the tailed beasts.

"At the same time, according to intelligence, there is also the legendary Rinnegan." Uchiha Yoru didn't give Kurama a chance to explain, but continued to speak calmly.

"According to my intelligence, this force is plotting something against the entire ninja world, and their target is likely the nine tailed beasts."

"Based on the clues and intelligence, the key thing we learned is that this mysterious and terrifying organization is preparing to gather the nine tailed beasts and then create the most terrifying weapon known as the Ten-Tails, in order to achieve its own ambitions."

As Uchiha Yoru recounted the story, Kurama broke out in a cold sweat. Didn't this brat know? Didn't it know?

The Ten-Tails was not a manufactured terrifying weapon; it actually existed.

Damn it! The ninja world is too dangerous.

"So, Kurama, you don't want to fall into the hands of this organization either, do you? Karin's talent goes without saying; she perfectly inherited the Uzumaki clan's bloodline..."

While Kurama was terrified, Uchiha Yoru calmly pushed Karin out, and the two, one human and one fox, reached some kind of agreement in the enclosed space.

Finally, in front of the golden cage, Karin timidly walked into the cage, extended her fist and bumped fists with the arrogant Nine-Tails that snorted coldly, which could be considered a temporary agreement to cooperate.

Please support me.
