Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 408 Ten-Tails Jinchuriki

"These are all my clones. Keep an eye on them for me. I'll be back soon."

Fugaku, the Fire Release clone, spoke to the little leaf on the paper bird who was about to make a move. Then, before the leaf could reply, the four clones of Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Wind simultaneously used ink to seal their bodies to prevent their bodies and souls from decaying.

Li Yao did not intend to completely abandon these four clones. Once Obito's clones became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and mastered the Bloodline Limit, the clones would automatically dissolve.

Li Yao was not interested in the Ten-Tails' chakra; the power he controlled was his own.

After the clone was sealed, Li Yao's consciousness within the clone also dissipated.

The pressure on the will was no longer due to the absence of the souls of the four avatars.

Li Yao's will suddenly lightened considerably, and the soul pressure brought by the Ten-Tails instantly transformed from a mountain into the weight of a person.

Although the Ten-Tails' soul still puts some pressure on Li Yao's will, it no longer affects the soul of Obito's clone.

"Uncle?"

Little Leaf conjured paper wings and flew over, taking the four black ink-sealed spheres in her hands. After carefully sensing them, she confirmed that these were the old man's ink-sealing ninjutsu.

"He's really an old man!"

"Waaaaah... I thought you didn't want me anymore, uncle... Waaaaah..."

After confirming that it was Li Yao's clone who had appeared, Xiao Yezi finally burst into tears of joy and cried loudly.

Little Yezi has been guarding this place ever since Li Yao entered the Loulan ruins.

Even though Li Yaoying's clone had told Xiao Yezi from the beginning that Li Yao would return in a few years.

But Li Yao didn't make a sound. Xiao Yezi was very scared, afraid that Li Yao would never come back, or that he would abandon her after he returned.

Now I can finally put my fear to rest.

Looking at the four sealed orbs in her hand, Xiao Yezi carefully put them away. The uncle had said that these were his clones, and he had spoken very urgently just now. It was clear that the uncle's affairs in the other world had reached a critical juncture, and she had to protect the uncle's clones and not let him down.

After carefully storing the four sealing orbs, Little Leaf flew up a thousand meters into the sky and sat quietly on the paper bird, grinning foolishly.

"Hehe... Uncle said he'll be back soon, or rather, in a few days, hehe..."

Reconnecting with the uncle felt like Xiao Yezi was seeing her family again after many years away; she was full of energy and felt the world had suddenly become much brighter.

The Fourth Shinobi World.

After Li Yao's main body was no longer under pressure, his control over the soul and body of Obito's clone increased, and the Ten-Tails' chakra was once again suppressed back into his body by the clone's sealing technique.

The expanded shell retracted back into the body containing soil.

The chakra of the Ten-Tails was also fused and bound with the chakra of Li Yao's Obito clone.

Crack crack crack... As Obito's clone mask shattered, revealing snow-white skin underneath, his full head of black hair instantly turned white.

Two chakra horns emerged from the two ends of his forehead, and a white cloak of chakra floated on his body.

Li Yao's Obito clone finally became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

"This is... the Bloodline Limit!"

After sensing the power within his body for a moment, Li Yao's Obito clone moved his mind and mobilized the portion of his chakra that had merged with the Ten-Tails' chakra and his own chakra, condensing it outside his body.

One, two, three... twelve black Truth-Seeking Balls condensed and surrounded Obito's clone.

As the Truth-Seeking Balls were formed, Obito's clones were able to fly in the air without using the Overweight Rock Technique, completely freeing themselves from the constraints of gravity and flying freely through the air.

"This power... is intoxicating!"

Li Yao's Obito clone spread his arms wide. At this moment, he felt that the entire earth was like a block of tofu. With just a light stomp of his foot, he could cause the earth to collapse and the sky to crack.

The immense chakra within his body was like a small sun, and that inexhaustible power gave Li Yao a sense of power akin to Obito's clones.

"Unfortunately... it wasn't my own power after all!"

Li Yao's Obito clone shook his head and sighed, flying up to a height of ten thousand meters, quietly concentrating to sense the Seeking the Dao Jade.

Li Yao's main body also emerged from the interlayered space and came to the side of Obito's clone, reaching out to touch the Truth-Seeking Ball to sense the nature of the chakra within.

The Bloodline Cultivation System was far more powerful and complex than Li Yao had imagined.

Originally, Li Yao thought that the moment Obito's clone became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and controlled the Truth-Seeking Balls, he would be able to condense his own Bloodline Limit Chakra.

It turned out that Li Yao had made some assumptions.

The Truth-Seeking Balls controlled by Obito's clones were not formed from his own chakra, but from the fusion of the Ten-Tails' chakra and his own chakra, with the Ten-Tails' chakra being the most crucial element.

The main component of Truth-Seeking Balls is the Ten-Tails' chakra, not the chakra of Obito's clones.

Obito's clones seem to have gained control over the Truth-Seeking Balls rather than the right to create them; the right to create them still lies with the Ten-Tails.

Once he loses the Ten-Tails' chakra, just like Obito in the original story, he will be unable to condense Truth-Seeking Balls.

The same situation applies to Obito's clones now.

Because the Seeking the Way Jewel is not something you make yourself.

Therefore, Li Yao could not immediately replicate all the nature changes of the Truth-Seeking Ball Chakra. He needed to personally perceive and understand all the nature changes of the Truth-Seeking Ball Chakra before he could replicate and condense it.

"Luckily, it won't take too long!"

This was Li Yao's only consolation. Thanks to Obito's clone becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, he could perceive the changes in the nature of the Truth-Seeking Ball chakra more clearly.

Furthermore, the nature strength of his other basic chakra attributes has been raised to the level of bloodline elimination, which also helps him shorten the time required to copy and condense Truth-Seeking Ball chakra.

In short, according to Li Yao's estimate, it would take no more than a day for him to completely replicate and condense his own Seeking the Dao Jade, thus becoming a true Six Paths level powerhouse.

But... will the Sage of Six Paths grant my wish?

Li Yao did not focus all his energy on sensing the changes in the nature of the Truth-Seeking Ball chakra; he concentrated half of his attention on sensing his surroundings.

Since the Sage of Six Paths intervened in the ninja world and brought Naruto's soul to the Pure Land, it certainly wasn't just to save his own son's soul.

The fact that the other party was able to remove Naruto's soul before he could make a move indicates that the Sage of Six Paths had a certain ability to monitor the ninja world and could sense what was happening there.

The Sage of Six Paths should know something about what happened after he came into this world.

Even if he didn't know, the Sage of Six Paths definitely knew that Obito's clone had become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

If we follow the plot of the original work...

The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki has reappeared in the world. The Sage of Six Paths should be giving Naruto and Sasuke a power-up right now, so that the two of them can stop Obito's clone from destroying the world.

However, Obito's clone is not Obito himself.

Li Yao has no interest in destroying the world.

After mastering the Bloodline Limit, he still considered the Ten-Tails a burden and refused to continue controlling it.

Ultimately, the Ten-Tails will still split into nine tailed beasts.

The world will remain as it is.

In other words, Konoha suffered a devastating blow, while other villages remained unaffected.

However, this was only Li Yao's own idea, and the Sage of Six Paths was unaware of it.
