Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 104 Gathering from All Directions, the Evil Uchiha Old Demon (10,000-word chapter)

Yuzhi had no idea what the chakra attribute of the Dragon Vein was or what its essence was.

However, the sheer amount of chakra in the dragon veins is so vast that it can travel through time and space, which already demonstrates just how terrifying the quantity of chakra truly is!

Moreover, Yuki desires to fuse chakra to form a bloodline limit, and a vast amount of chakra is essential.

From this perspective, he absolutely cannot miss out on this massive dragon vein chakra.

In fact, not only dragon vein chakra, but any product with a huge amount of energy should be collected with haori.

"For example, the meteorite from the Star Kingdom, the demons and monsters from the Demon Kingdom, the Grell Stone mine, the Paradise Box from the Grass Kingdom, Shennong's Zero Tail, and that fortress, etc."

Of course, the most important thing is the tailed beast chakra!

Everything else is fine, but the Tailed Beast Feather Robe is something we need to seriously consider, since it contains visible energy.

Despite having the system's assistance, he has a high probability of acquiring these powers as long as the mission involves the Tailed Beasts.

But if he doesn't get the tailed beast chakra, he will naturally make other preparations.

Moreover, since he had already decided to strike a heavy blow against Obito, it wouldn't be strange if he were to ruthlessly seduce and stop Obito at certain times.

"Furthermore, those tailed beasts all have masters, so I naturally cannot use the identity of 'Haori' to deal with them, then..."

Then the necessity of the disguise becomes particularly prominent, and he might as well just let Obito take the blame!

"And there's the Dragon Vein's chakra, which has Minato's Flying Thunder God seal. I have to be even more careful."

The benefits of Minato and his wife not dying are obvious, but everything is relative. Their survival will also make it more difficult for Hagoromo to handle certain things.

He certainly wouldn't regret his decision. Although he might complain, he would mostly try to find ways to solve the problem.

Especially now that his eye techniques are so diverse, he can completely impersonate Obito. Since Obito has no humanity, whatever he does can be considered Obito's doing!

"I'll find some time to visit the Land of Wind!"

Yuzhi silently made a decision in his heart. Anyway, the thing was there and couldn't run away, so there was no need for him to rush.

"I need to properly adjust my own power and assess the current situation of the Uchiha clan so I can feel more at ease."

Walking down the street, Haori and Hikaru walked side by side.

At this moment, it had begun to snow lightly in Konoha. Watching the snowflakes fall, Yuzhi realized that the forty-eight years of Konoha that had changed the fate of countless people were coming to an end.

Time flies.

The light no longer enveloped the cloak; perhaps it was because the haori had answered the question so quickly that she was quite pleased with herself.

She looked up at the falling snowflakes and murmured something, clearly in a good mood.

She has made great progress now, because Obito's Six Paths Technique allows her to better control natural chakra.

It must be said that although Obito has gone mad, he does consistently provide good stuff.

"Yes, another year has passed without us even realizing it."

Although Yuri was thinking about other things, he couldn't help but nod when he heard Hikaru's words.

In hindsight, he realized that he had already been in this world for quite some time.

Fortunately, he wasn't a sentimental person. He smiled and said to Guang beside him.

"However, it was a very fruitful year overall, wasn't it?"

"Um."

Hikaru smiled and nodded. Although Yuri was a bit abnormal, outrageous, and extremely excessive.

But she wouldn't lie to herself; spending this year with Yuzhi had indeed made her feel exceptionally happy.

However, she didn't want to think too much about Yuzhi's personality, especially since she still remembered that book, so she immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, how is the water stopping?"

"He needs to rest for a while longer; his condition is not as good as ours."

Yuri shrugged and smiled as she spoke.

Shisui's current situation is slightly worse, probably because Haori was lazy and didn't use the "God of Heaven" simulation.

According to his own description, his eyes have begun to recover, but he needs more rest because the exertion was too intense.

"That's not bad."

It was clearly you who slacked off.

She said it aloud, but couldn't help but think to herself that she knew Yuzhi's personality all too well.

However, she wouldn't say that. She turned her head and looked around, especially at the police officers who were constantly patrolling and greeting the residents warmly.

She felt a little proud, even though she had never seen what the police department was like before, she had heard that the police department at that time was "hated by everyone and even dogs".

But now these police officers are so popular, and it's all thanks to the changes brought about by the haori.

"You're being too harsh."

However, although she felt proud, she couldn't help but say it aloud.

"I heard that ever since you set up those 'police departments and police stations,' everyone's workload has increased significantly."

"But no one scolded me, right? They even said 'thank you' to me."

Yuzhi blinked, then shrugged and smiled.

"Indeed, this kind of work intensity is very high, and some people even suffer because of certain things."

But the benefits in the police department are quite good, and besides, seeing most people give them genuine smiles is a kind of satisfaction too.

The police department's "site" design did cause a lot of trouble for many people at first, but as it has been developed, the situation has become better and better.

Especially the Uchiha clan members, they were all the most enthusiastic!

Especially those who existed during the Uchiha Fugaku era, but did not have a clear stance or inclination, yet were influenced by the old school of thought, were eager to do the work.

Even setting aside Yuuki's personal influence, the "crazy involution" culture within the Uchiha clan has also drastically changed Konoha's attitude towards them.

It must be said that people's education and cognition are indeed lagging behind.

They didn't quite understand the rules that Yuzhi initially set, but they just followed them, just like when Yuzhi was studying and writing geography papers.

He knows perfectly well enough to answer some geography questions with his eyes closed that he should write "labor-intensive industries, cheap labor is a competitive advantage," but he doesn't understand the real meaning behind it.

Only after he actually started working did he instantly realize—I was just cheap labor.

They are in the same boat now. Only by personally experiencing and understanding can they fully comprehend the intentions of the haori and thus revere it even more.

"Anyway, you always have a point, and I can't argue with you."

Hikaru tilted her head and glanced at Haori, who was all smiles, before finally smiling as well.

"Because I'm stating the truth."

Hagoromo didn't mind. He reached out and took Hikaru's hand, asking in a low voice how long it would take.

"By the way, I still don't know your birthday."

"Birthday?"

Guang glanced down at her hand that was being held, and was about to say something, but upon hearing the question, she was both puzzled and silent for a moment, before finally shaking her head.

"I don't remember. Why are you asking?"

"I was planning to prepare a gift for you, but unfortunately..."

"Thank you, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm already doing fine..."

"That won't do. How about you celebrate your birthday with me from now on? We look the same age anyway."

Celebrate your birthday together?

Hikaru stared at Haori silently for a long while before looking away.

"what ever."

She turned her head and said casually, but a smile appeared on her lips.

It's her birthday, she hasn't celebrated it in so long. She just doesn't know how old she should be on her birthday now.

"And what will this guy give me? And what should I give him in return?"

As Hikaru followed Hagoromo to inspect the situation in various areas of Konoha, he secretly let his mind wander.

Just a moment later, she suddenly thought of something and looked down at the hand that Yuzhi was holding.

For a moment, she felt speechless again.

"How come I'm getting more and more used to it?"

-

Just as the two were patrolling the streets, in the Hokage's office in Konoha, Minato was looking at the Third Hokage with a serious expression.

"Third Hokage, have you made your decision?"

"That's right."

The third generation nodded, and then he said with a hint of helplessness.

"You know Tsunade's situation; it probably won't be easy for her to return to Konoha. Therefore, I think we should show more sincerity."

This sincerity naturally came from him, as the teacher, personally extending an invitation and then persuading the student with both emotion and reason.

The Third Hokage was still somewhat confident about this matter.

After all, no matter what Tsunade said, she still deeply loved Konoha Village, which her grandfather founded.

Even if Tsunade returns and discovers that she was tricked by the Third Hokage and was actually meant to treat the Uchiha clan.

But now that everyone's back, it probably won't be easy for them to leave again.

Even if Tsunade realized she'd been tricked, she wouldn't say anything, because the original story shows that her personality and some of her thoughts ultimately gravitate towards Hashirama Senju.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Third Hokage."

Minato thought for a moment and then said no more, but spoke very seriously.

"However, since the adults are going out, I think we should still make sure to take good care of security, since the spies in the village have been quite restless lately."

"I'm afraid they're more interested in knowing about Kushina's situation."

The third generation made a sarcastic remark, but he didn't take the joke too far, and he smiled and said directly.

"Alright, you can arrange the personnel for the Dark Division. I'll do as you say."

"Okay, but I have another idea. How about we bring Kakashi along?"

Minato nodded, and after a moment's thought, he asked.

"Although he's new to the Anbu and still needs to learn, he's quite capable, so he might be able to learn something this time."

"I already said, you can make the arrangements."

The Third Hokage was somewhat amused and exasperated, as bringing Kakashi along wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Kakashi, in particular, has learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even though his progress is still relatively slow, it already demonstrates Kakashi's talent.

Moreover, the Flying Thunder God Mark has another significant function at crucial moments: summoning Minato!

In fact, the Third Hokage felt that he probably wouldn't want to summon Minato if that moment really came.

Because Minato is now the Hokage of Konoha, and he has already retired.

But Minato isn't the only one in Konoha who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique; there's also Hagoromo!

The Third Hokage was puzzled as to why Haori could actually learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was difficult for ordinary people to master.

But after thinking it over, he felt that it might be a matter of talent, even though Yuzhi didn't seem to have any talent at school.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Thinking of this, the third generation couldn't help but sigh sincerely once again.

"Thank goodness he was a normal person! Fugaku Uchiha, you guys deserved to die!"

-

"It looks like Hiruzen is about to set off."

Inside the Root base, Danzo looked at the documents in his hand and pondered silently.

The document didn't explain much, only noting some adjustments made to the darker areas.

However, these members of the Anbu were all powerful individuals, and Kakashi Hatake was also among them. This information, when put together, was enough for Danzo to make a judgment.

The Root is the training center for the Anbu. Although it is now becoming a mere shell of its former self, Danzo can still obtain some information about the Anbu.

However, these materials were incomplete, which made Danzo particularly resentful.

"You actually didn't tell me any of this? Hiruzen, you're really getting more and more decadent!"

He cursed inwardly, but then Danzo didn't bother to think about it anymore. What he needed to consider now was the aftermath.

He wasn't sure whether the third generation would take action or not, but he wouldn't take it too seriously, as he only needed a general idea.

He naturally sent people to conduct further investigations within the Akatsuki organization, but as for other places, he would not provide any more detailed information!

"Now it's time to inform the other villages as well."

Danzo muttered to himself, he had to admit that he and Black Zetsu were truly a perfect match in hiding in the shadows, and their methods of plotting were exactly the same.

They all wanted to get other villages involved. Although their initial intentions were different, their goal was the same: to get rid of the Third Hokage!

"I just don't know if the other villages will accept the challenge, especially that guy Hanzo."

Danzo hated the Third Hokage for being weak and incompetent, hated the Akatsuki for threatening Konoha, but he hated Hanzo of the Salamander even more for betraying his Root organization.

Aburame Ryoma is currently in the Land of Rain. He trusts his subordinate implicitly, and he also needs his subordinate to do something.

That means handing over some information about the Akatsuki organization and Hiruzen to this guy!

"The Akatsuki killed a lot of his people. If he has the chance, he will take revenge. And killing the Third Hokage might not be a bad thing for him, since he would have a scapegoat."

Although we haven't seen each other since that incident, the original alliance and promises remain. If he still has ambitions, he'll probably do something.

Thinking of this, Danzo began to write furiously, though he was also feeling a pang of heartache.

Orochimaru's research requires funding, and he has already paid a large deposit in advance for this operation. His purse is almost empty now!

But he quickly gritted his teeth; if only he succeeded this time...

"Konoha is mine!"

-

"Strange things really do happen every year."

Inside the Tsuchikage's office in Iwagakure Village.

Onoki frowned slightly as he looked at the letter in his hand, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

He was the only one in the office at the moment. Ever since his eldest son uttered the phrase "Konoha should be set back forty or fifty years," he had already driven him away.

Early this morning, an ANBU member rushed to deliver a piece of intelligence to him, and this intelligence came from Konoha.

At first, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, investigating the Nine-Tails wasn't easy.

Moreover, he was more concerned about Uchiha Haori and the others than the Nine-Tails, so he didn't take it too seriously.

However, when he opened the intelligence report, he found that the situation seemed somewhat unusual.

"The Third Hokage led the elite Anbu out of Konoha to the Land of Hot Springs to find Tsunade."

Although this intelligence report is concise, it contains a wealth of information.

The fact that the Third Hokage personally went to find Tsunade was of great significance, given that Tsunade's strength was extremely formidable.

But why go in person?

"Is this a precautionary measure taken because something happened to the Jinchūriki, or is the Jinchūriki in imminent danger and needs immediate medical attention?"

These things are not explained, but they can evoke imagination and leave no room for doubt.

After all, this involves the Shadow's operations, which are matters of extremely high secrecy!

To put it bluntly, Onoki was somewhat skeptical when he received this information, because it didn't seem like something that his people left in Konoha could obtain.

"Is there some problem here, or is someone trying to use another person to do their dirty work?"

Onoki's eyes were bright. He had lived to such an old age and had seen all sorts of messy things, so he had a lot of thoughts.

However, after much thought, he still couldn't seem to come up with a definite answer, but he knew he had to deal with this matter seriously.

"Someone come here."

After a long while, Onoki finally made up his mind and immediately spoke.

"Lord Tsuchikage."

"Immediately assemble an elite squad of secret agents, and summon Huang Tu, Han, and Wen Ya as well."

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage."

Watching the ANBU member's figure disappear quickly, Onoki's chakra trembled slightly, and the intelligence in his hand turned to dust.

He walked to the window and looked into the distance, silently murmuring to himself.

"I'd like to see who's behind this, and such an opportunity is rare indeed."

-

"Tutai, do you think this intelligence is credible?"

Coincidentally, the Fourth Raikage also received a similar intelligence report within the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, compared to Onoki's caution, the Raikage seemed much more interested.

The battle between Konoha and Kumogakure has not ceased, so whatever they do will not cause any problems.

If we could take this opportunity to eliminate the Third Hokage and also wipe out Tsunade, it would be a huge boon for the Hidden Cloud Village!

He has been eyeing Konoha's title as the "Number One Ninja Village" for a long time, and if he succeeds, it will definitely deal a devastating blow to Konoha's reputation.

It also greatly boosted the morale of the Cloud Village and mitigated the impact of his father's death in battle.

If Konoha really makes a move, he is confident that he can fight them head-on!

However, no matter how enthusiastic he was, he felt that he should consult Tu Tai, whose wisdom he had gained a deep understanding of in the past year or two.

"Lord Raikage, I feel there's something fishy about this."

Tsuchida frowned slightly. Although he was not as experienced as Onoki, he was a wise man from Kumogakure and could naturally sense that something was amiss.

"This kind of intelligence is not something our people can easily obtain, and it's so detailed that I'm worried someone might use it to do their dirty work."

"Is that so?"

The Fourth Raikage frowned; no one likes being used as a pawn.

"Which bastard do you think was responsible for this?"

"I don't know either, but I think we can go and take a look at this."

Tu Tai pondered for a moment before smiling and speaking.

He was naturally aware of the Fourth Raikage's ambitions, and he also hoped to help the Raikage achieve his goals.

Both the Third and Fourth Raikage trusted him so much, so naturally he had to do his best to repay that trust.

"Um?"

Raikage paused for a moment, then asked with amusement.

"Aren't you going to say someone's up to no good here?"

"Yes, but we can also check the intelligence, can't we?"

Tsuchishiro's smile faded, and he became somewhat serious.

"Perhaps we can find out who is behind this, perhaps we can do something about it."

"Yeah."

The Fourth Raikage's eyes gleamed, and he immediately burst into laughter.

"Okay, it's settled then. Have Killer Bee, Yugito, and Troy come over."

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

Tu Tai nodded. After thinking for a moment, he decided that it would be best for him to go along, so he prepared to make the suggestion.

Before he could even speak, the Fourth Raikage shouted loudly.

"This time, I'll personally lead the team. Let's go see what exactly happened!"

Tsuchikage's face stiffened. These two generations of Raikage were truly cut from the same cloth; they really knew how to step up when trouble struck.

"I understand, but I'm going too."

Having no other choice, Tu Tai decided to go along with it.

To avoid any problems that might arise later, which would be a huge hassle.

"Has the intelligence already been sent out?"

Within the Land of Fire, Obito and Black Zetsu were on a hilltop, hidden in an alternate dimension, watching the Third Hokage and the others below.

After finalizing the action plan, the two of them got busy with their own tasks.

On the one hand, it is natural to investigate his movements and find out what his target is.

On the other hand, it is naturally to prepare for the operation, especially since Black Zetsu has decided to mobilize Kirigakure for this operation.

He wasn't sure if there would be any results from Iwagakure and Kumogakure, but he could make moves against Kirigakure!

This can be considered a lesson for Obito, so that he would understand the importance of having someone on his side.

Of course, if neither Kumogakure nor Iwagakure makes any move, then Kirigakure should also refrain from interfering. Even if they do make a move, they must do so in a disguised manner.

"Yes, it's been sent out. Now we just wait for their reaction."

Obito nodded, his gaze turning cold as he looked down at the Third Hokage and the others, especially the white-haired guy in the crowd.

"I never expected Kakashi to join the Anbu, and even participate in this mission!"

"Isn't this great? You now have a chance to get your eyes back."

Black Zetsu chuckled indifferently, but quickly became serious again.

"How is the situation on Nagato's side? You know, this operation hasn't gone as smoothly as we imagined."

Even if they might not do much, considering that Uchiha Hagoromo can use the Flying Thunder God Technique, all preparations must be made.

It would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as I talked about the Flying Thunder God Technique, Obito felt a little uncomfortable in his back.

Black Zetsu also subconsciously looked at Obito's back, and for a moment the two fell silent.

"They should start taking action."

After a long while, Obito finally spoke in a somber tone.

"Never mind them. Who did you send over from Kirigakure?"

Obito was unaware of the situation in Kirigakure. He had only received assurances from Black Zetsu that he would not easily reveal too much, thus avoiding being confronted by Uchiha Haori again.

Once they gradually expand their defenses against the Hidden Mist Village, even if they come looking for trouble, it won't be such a big problem.

"Those people from the Yuan Master that you hate the most."

Black Zetsu didn't care about Obito's thoughts. He chuckled lightly before giving a sinister reply.

"I organized an elite team of geniuses; those people are all geniuses from the Yuan Master's side."

For example, Mei Terumi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza, and Mangetsu Hozuki are led by Ao, who has the Byakugan.

"If something really happens to this squad, then Master Yuan will be in big trouble."

They were all incredibly talented, and some were even from bloodline families. Even the Byakugan was activated.

It's easy to imagine how talented this squad was; no village could accept their annihilation!

"very good."

Obito nodded slightly, his gaze turning cold once more.

"Let them fight it out. The outcome doesn't matter anyway. This time, I only have one goal."

Kakashi's eye, that eye that belongs to me!

-

"are you serious?"

On the streets within the Uchiha clan compound, Hikaru stared blankly at Haori beside him.

She really didn't expect that this guy in front of her would have such a crazy idea.

"Didn't you say there was no problem? Why are you still doing this?"

"Your words reminded me that I was also worried about such a thing happening. It's always good to be prepared."

Yuri looked at Hikaru with a serious expression and answered softly. Hikaru was both touched and amused by his answer.

The last time she talked to Yuzhi, she was worried that one day she would return to her own time, but after Yuzhi comforted her, she didn't think about it too much.

Moreover, she believes that she has now awakened in this era, and perhaps this is the final decision of the Sage of Six Paths.

That's how it is, so I don't need to think too much about it. Even if I go back, she will definitely find a way to come back!

She just didn't expect that Yuzhi was thinking even more than she had, and had even begun to plan for the future of the famous.

Although she felt that Yuzhi probably had other plans, because Yuzhi always considered many aspects when doing things.

But no matter what, she felt warm inside, though Yuzhi's actions were somewhat risky.

"While I don't mind what you want to do, and I'm willing to do it with you, I hope you'll think it over carefully."

After thinking for a moment, Guang spoke in a low voice.

"There is a possibility that we will be exposed if we do this. After all, those forces all belong to certain groups, and acting recklessly could have serious consequences."

Besides, we have no way to store those powers once we get them. Didn't you say that I already belong to this era?

Even if you have other considerations, you need to think them through. I don't want anything to happen to you.

"Don't worry, I will consider these things carefully. This is just my plan."

Yuzhi nodded. After all, the "disguise" plan was just a concept, making it easier for him to frame someone and obtain the chakra he wanted.

After all, his status in Konoha is not low. If he doesn't change his "track", some things can only be endured slowly, which is not what he wants.

In the 49th year of Konoha, he will be 15 years old. Naruto and Sasuke were already ridiculously strong when they were 16 years old without any power-ups, and after they did, they became saviors!

Although the haori is also a hanging ornament, its hanging emphasizes "effort and reward," making it quite difficult to reach the top in one step.

However, this also has its advantages; at least with a solid foundation, there's no need to worry about being banned...

Sasuke and Naruto are like their cheat codes have been removed; they're still strong, but it's like their "max-level" accounts have been banned.

"I'll listen to you. Anyway, using the pupil techniques separately won't be a big problem."

Seeing how insistent Yuzhi was, she readily nodded in agreement.

"Don't forget, we still have our magic mode. If all else fails, we can just use magic, and that way, it will be harder for others to suspect us."

Shisui and Kakashi probably could have guessed it, right?

She glanced at the haori, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything more. After all, Shisui probably wouldn't say anything if he noticed.

Bringing in the water-stopping agent later seems like a good option.

As for Kakashi?

Although Hikaru thought this guy was alright, he didn't need to activate Sage Mode to really deal with him.

If we encounter an unavoidable battle, we can just use Tsukuyomi to take down this guy; it's not a big problem.

The two walked hand in hand towards the tribe, and the tribespeople around them couldn't help but smile when they saw them.

Although everyone in the clan knows that the real decision-making process is conducted by the clan council, large families usually have a clan leader.

Although Yuzhi never expressed her opinion or said anything.

But they had heard the rumors from the police department and how Haori and Hikaru turned the tide during the Nine-Tailed Night.

Furthermore, I have witnessed all the people who participated in the clan meeting reporting to the Yui family. All these things, coupled with the fact that the Uchiha clan is getting better and better now.

They already regarded Haori as the clan's "only sun" in their hearts, and they didn't even know the children of Uchiha Fugaku.

Yu Zhi had always been a "fish that slipped through the net" within the clan and hadn't gotten engaged until now. Now that she had a result, and it was with a well-known strong person within the clan, how could they not be happy?

"Lady Haori, Lady Horikoshi?"

Just as Yuzhi and Ying were chatting and laughing along the way, a voice suddenly interrupted them.

Turning my head, I saw Uchiha Izumi with the two little ones.

Kimimaro and Haku seem to be in much better spirits now, no longer as lifeless or timid as before.

This situation made Yuzhi nod slightly. Putting aside everything else, these two little ones certainly have limitless potential.

"It's a spring."

Yuri smiled and led Hikaru over.

"Don't we have classes today?"

"Today is a day off, sir."

Quan chuckled, and then the two little ones spoke.

"So I took them out for a walk today. They're too dull, that won't do."

"Perhaps, the two of them should make more friends."

Looking at the two little ones, especially Kimimaro, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Kimimaro's situation was even worse than hers, and she felt great sympathy for him, so she wholeheartedly agreed to bring them back.

At least in Konoha, in this Uchiha clan that they themselves have changed, this little guy will have a better environment.

"I think so too."

Yuzhi nodded, then released Hikaru's hand before squatting down, reaching out to rub the two little ones' heads before smiling.

"You two should live well in Konoha and do your best to protect your sister in the future."

"It is I who should be protecting them, Lady Hagoromo."

Quan pouted and shook her head; this five- or six-year-old girl was still very serious.

"They're my brothers!"

"Then you have to work hard too, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi smiled and offered a word of encouragement, though she was secretly wondering about the girl's current relationship with Itachi.

He remembered that the two of them seemed to have known each other since they were children.

However, after thinking it over, he felt that the two of them were probably only acquaintances at this point.

After all, after Itachi followed Danzo, his personal time became extremely limited, and his visits to school were always done by shadow clones.

He was also very quiet and reserved at school, and he rarely spoke to anyone. I heard that he was preparing to graduate.

The road is still the same road, but the situation here has undergone earth-shattering changes.

"I will definitely work hard, and I will protect them well from now on!"

Izumi had no idea what Haori was thinking, but she nodded very seriously.

Seeing the girl's expression, Yuzhi smiled and stood up without saying anything more, but he glanced at Kimimaro again.

He couldn't help but wonder how to better integrate the bloodline power of the Bamboo Clan, and when Kimimaro had contracted his bloodline disease.

The power of the Bamboo Cutter should not be as elusive as that of the Hyuga. Their power is essentially physical, so blood or body tissue is sufficient.

Speaking of which, the Hyuga and Taketori are quite similar to the Uchiha and Senju.

One relies mainly on its eyes, while the other relies mainly on its body. The biggest difference is probably that the Uchiha and Senju are products of the power of the God Tree's fruit.

"Hyuga and Taketori are considered the origin, right?"

Although it was just a guess, Yuzhi felt it was probably not far off, since the Kaguya-hime in his memory was probably like that.

However, Yuzhi was not in a hurry, or rather, he didn't dare to be in a hurry at all.

He dared to absorb the power of the Senju clan partly because of past mistakes, and partly because the White Zetsu were modified Hashirama Senju cells.

However, no one ever did the bamboo plucking; in fact, it could be said that in the original story, they were just bystanders or lunatics.

If Princess Kaguya hadn't used the "All-Kill Ash Bones" technique, who would have thought they were so important?

"Let's wait until the Bamboo Clan is wiped out and I get the reward before we talk about it."

With these thoughts in mind, Yuzhi smiled and said goodbye to the three little ones.

It's still unclear what kind of haori the Bamboo Clan will receive as a reward, but whatever the reward may be, it's something to look forward to.

Every technique has its value. After all, in the ninja world, no matter how strong you are, you're still afraid of being ambushed.

Whether it's the tragedy of Pakura carrying a kunai in her back, or Madara Uchiha being betrayed by Hashirama Senju.

Even Madara, who had reached the Six Paths level, still had his heart thoroughly talked to by Black Zetsu.

Ninjas are a group of fragile creatures who possess immense power; it's perfectly normal for them to be defeated if they're not careful.

"You value those two a lot?"

After Izumi happily led Kimima and Shiro away, Hikaru asked a question out of curiosity.

"I should say, there are three."

Haori reached out and took Hikaru's hand again, then smiled and said.

"I see talent in all three of them; perhaps they will become excellent ninjas in the future."

"Tch, you can even see talent now?"

Guang shook her head with amusement, but then glanced at her hand that was being held.

She wondered if she had been bullied by this unreasonable guy so much that she had gotten used to it.

How come you don't even have the thought of refusing?

"Let's go back."

Hagoromo had no idea what Hikaru was thinking, and he spoke with a smile.

"I still need to think about those energies, especially what you said about how to store and seal them."

I really don't want to accidentally send us back to the past; that would be terrible.

"If you go back, what will you do? I'll go with you."

"Then we'll see if the era is right. If it is, we'll rescue you from that era first."

"Aren't you worried about what will happen to you in the future?"

"I'd rather I figure out a way myself than have you sealed away for a hundred years."

Haori was quite eloquent, and his words left Hikaru speechless. In the end, he could only smile, shake his head, and say no more.

But just then, Yuzhi suddenly spoke up and teased, "But if that's the case, maybe I'll have a great-grandmother or something in the future."

"You bastard!"

Hikaru paused for a moment, then laughed and scolded, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she looked at Haori with the same teasing tone.

"Then, Haori, will you be my grandson?"

"?"

Yuzhi was stunned. He suddenly realized that he would actually be slapped in the face by a boomerang.

"That evil old Uchiha!"

-

"Nagato, they're here."

In a forest in the Land of Hot Water, Konan spoke to Nagato beside her.

Upon hearing this, Nagato slightly opened his eyes, and his powerful chakra surged forth.

Just then, Yahiko, who had also had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and the power of the Rinnegan filled his entire body.

"Have they arrived? How are Kakuzu's preparations going?"

Nagato asked in a low voice, and Yahiko's body quickly left the spot.

"Kakuzu has already made arrangements, but he told me that there will probably be more people coming here."

Xiao Nan was a little worried. Although she had a plan, she felt it would be better to remind her.

"It's alright, everything is proceeding according to our plan, there won't be any problems."

Nagato thought for a moment, and finally spoke seriously.

"Anyway, we're just doing what we're supposed to do. Whether we succeed or fail doesn't matter, and we don't need to worry about anything else."

This time, Yahiko will shine with a different kind of brilliance.

At this point, Nagato paused slightly. Having learned from his previous experience, he changed the power that Yahiko was carrying this time.

He removed the unnecessary complexities and placed only his strongest power, the power capable of destroying everything, into Yahiko's body.

"The current Yahiko is Pain, the Deva Path, capable of ending all suffering!"
