Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 139 Madara Uchiha in his Eternal Eye state! (10,000-word chapter)

"Father, what are you thinking about?"

It was around noon at Mikoto's house.

Yuki sat in the living room, pondering what Minato Namikaze had said to him that day, while Sasuke watched him curiously from the side.

"Some interesting things happened that I originally thought would never happen, but I was wrong."

Yuri reached out and patted Sasuke's head; there were indeed some things he hadn't considered.

Or rather, he underestimated some of the ideas of the Fourth Raikage and Onoki, though he could understand them.

The Fourth Raikage harbored a dream of replacing Konoha and making Kumogakure truly stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

That's exactly what he did. Taking advantage of the period when Konoha was in a period of transition, he almost succeeded without losing a single soldier.

Of course, we should also thank the Third Hokage, because at that time he took a comprehensive approach—the only two things he didn't consider were the impact on Konoha and the blow to the Hyuga.

In the end, he chickened out, and the result was that no one would come to his rescue during the Chunin Exams.

The fact that Iwagakure and Kumogakure can act together shows that Kumogakure values ​​Konoha now. Haori guesses that Onoki's agreement is probably related to the changes he has caused.

Konoha has quite a few "high-end talents" right now; this guy really doesn't want to see Konoha rise again!

"I never expected that Iwagakure would actually find Akatsuki, and this information was even sent to me by the Land of Rain."

What made Yuzhi both amused and exasperated was the way the Land of Rain handled the situation. After Yuzhi's prompting, Nagato changed the race track.

After assigning all the missions around the Land of Rain to Konoha, Minato was overjoyed. After some discussion, he finally decided to provide a certain amount of material support to the Land of Rain every year.

These supplies may seem like a lot, but in reality, they are only enough for the Rain Kingdom to achieve a certain level of development.

But that's enough, because there weren't that many Rain Country countries before.

In addition, the Land of Rain has a daimyo, and the haori also told them about a Red Sea route—war mercenaries—and now the situation in the Land of Rain has changed.

"This guy, he's probably trying to keep fleecing Konoha, right?"

Although it's uncertain what Nagato was really thinking, Hagoromo has pretty much reached a conclusion.

And now he also knows that the 'peace envoys' from Kumogakure have set off and are heading towards Konoha!

"Naruto's dad is really annoying. Whenever he meets his father, he always has to say a lot of things."

Seeing that Haori was distracted, Sasuke pouted and said, seemingly very unhappy.

"You brat, Naruto's dad is the Fourth Hokage, and your great-uncle is the head of the police department. Isn't it normal for him to want to talk to me?"

Yuzhi snapped out of her daze and reached out to rub Sasuke's little head a few times.

However, the word "godfather" that almost slipped out made him a little nervous, as Sasuke has a dark history of "killing a master".

It's not impossible for the teacher to be replaced by the godfather.

"Father, will you be staying tonight?"

Just as Yuri was internally complaining, Sasuke suddenly looked up, blinked, and asked curiously.

"Also, could you and my mom bring me a younger brother or sister?"

"What do you know, you little brat?"

Hearing this, Yuzhi was both amused and exasperated. He subconsciously looked up and glanced into the distance, but quickly looked away.

This house is much bigger than his, so it's a bit difficult to see the kitchen from the living room.

Mikoto Uchiha clearly took Yuori's advice to heart. Instead of having the servants help her, she planned to make something herself to reward Sasuke for passing the test.

Sasuke's assessment went smoothly, though it's unclear whether there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation involved, but he was able to participate in the assessment as soon as he arrived.

Moreover, the test he underwent was surprisingly simple shuriken throwing.

However, because things went so smoothly, the dinner party, which was originally scheduled for the evening, was moved to noon.

"Alright, go help your mother serve some dishes. You're already in school, so you're considered a prospective ninja. You need to take on the responsibilities of a ninja."

"Yes, Father."

Sasuke pursed his lips, but he still smiled and stood up, running towards the kitchen.

He loved the atmosphere. Although having two mothers sometimes puzzled him, it wasn't a big deal.

All he knew was that these people were good to him and were his family!

Thinking to himself, Sasuke quickly ran towards the door, only to bump into Mikoto, who was carrying soup back home.

"oops"

Although Mikoto was once an excellent ninja, she had become a wife for so long that she had neglected her training, and before she knew it, Sasuke had given her a full-on beating.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. Before the large bowl of soup fell on Sasuke's head, she didn't try to maintain her balance but quickly moved the soup aside and pushed Sasuke at the same time.

As a result, she twisted her ankle and fell to the ground, but she regained her balance just as she landed.

Are you alright?

A voice came to her ear, and she knew it must be Yuzhi.

After assessing her own condition, she said with a somewhat bitter face.

"It should be fine, it just seems like you sprained your ankle, but you'll be fine after a rest."

"You've neglected your exercise."

With one hand supporting Mikoto and the other holding a bowl of soup, Haori shook his head with amusement.

Seeing Sasuke's teary eyes and realizing he had made a mistake, he smiled and continued.

"You can't keep going like this; practice with Ying when you have time."

Mikoto pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she hadn't noticed and who knew she would twist her ankle.

"Yes, I understand."

Mikoto nodded, but before she could say anything, she found herself being helped into the living room by Haori.

Moreover, Yuzhi casually tossed the soup onto the table, and the soup, which was clearly full, landed steadily on the table without spilling a single drop.

Then, Yuzhi reached out and took Sasuke's hand, and he said with a smile.

"Alright, it's not your fault. I asked you to help her. Just be more careful next time."

"Yes, Father."

Sasuke lowered his head and replied softly, then looked up at the haori holding his hand and his mother standing beside him.

For some reason, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"That's really good."

-

"Oh no, today is Sasuke's first day at school, how could I have forgotten?"

On the way to Mikoto Uchiha's house, Itachi Uchiha sped up, inwardly grumbling to himself.

Three years passed quietly, and he was now almost eleven years old.

Over the years, Root's strength has grown rapidly, and in addition, his mentality and combat experience have also accumulated rapidly.

Danzo is not a kind person; a large number of tasks are assigned to him.

This meant his hands were already stained with blood, and it made his heart even colder and more extreme.

Even so, he still retained a soft spot in his heart, namely his younger brother Sasuke.

In his view, his mother had completely changed in the past three years and was no longer the mother he remembered.

The clans they didn't care about to begin with were now completely devoid of any ties. Whether it was Uchiha Izumi or Uchiha Shisui, they were nothing more than loyal dogs of Uchiha Haori.

"I still have to rely on myself."

He never considered joining forces with his family to "uncover the truth," nor did he think about communicating with the third or fourth generation. He only had one thought in his mind.

"To stop all this, we must find a way to eliminate him, and at the same time, cripple his allies!"

This was something Itachi Uchiha had clearly understood over the past three years, and it had now become an imprint on his mind.

Even though this family raised him, and even though Uchiha Haori treated his family very well, he only trusted his own judgment.

That was all a disguise. This person, like Danzo, harbored immense malice within!

Danzo might be a little better. Although he was also a heinous villain, he never hid his ambition.

In the past three years, the people he recruited from Orochimaru have been basically transformed by him.

He is still waiting, waiting for the right opportunity to completely take control of Konoha. He firmly believes that his ideas and methods can save Konoha!

"Unfortunately, your actions still betrayed Konoha, but it's still better than Uchiha Hagoromo's!"

Even though Danzo's actions were despicable, and even though his thoughts and mentality were so extreme, in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, wasn't this a kind of "upright and honorable" behavior?

He dislikes Danzo, understands Danzo, but will not become Danzo; this is his current mindset.

Therefore, he can continue to follow Danzo, continue to learn and improve himself. Only by constantly becoming stronger can he do what he wants to do.

"I will save Konoha, even if it means bearing the darkness. Only by doing so can I protect my younger brother."

Thinking to himself, he suddenly looked up at the Uchiha clan members around him.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Itachi Uchiha felt even colder inside.

This group of people are all die-hard fans of Uchiha Haori, and even his accomplices!

He took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. His younger brother was enough for the whole family; everyone else was just a passing cloud.

As long as he achieves his goal and does what he has to do, his brother will be protected.

Even if he is misunderstood by the world, even by his brother, it doesn't matter, he has his own way of ninja!

He didn't want to look at anyone around him and quickened his pace toward home.

However, when he leaped into the backyard of his house, he froze completely.

He saw his mother nestled in Uchiha Haori's arms, and Haori was holding Sasuke's hand, who had a big smile on her face!

The sunlight was soft and gentle, falling on the three of them, and everything looked so harmonious.

It's like a happy family of three, and he's just an outsider!

"Damn it."

At that moment, Itachi Uchiha's fists hardened, and his eyes turned bloodshot—

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

A month ago, the Hidden Cloud Village took the initiative to express its desire for peace to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Several years have passed since World War III, but the two sides have still not signed a peace agreement, and their ninjas still act according to wartime regulations when they encounter each other.

"We yearn for peace, and we will bring peace!"

From the outside perspective, it seems that the Hidden Cloud Village is struggling to hold on, so they took the initiative to express their thoughts to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Even though Konoha already knew some things from the Land of Rain, they decided to talk first, considering external factors.

After all, one can't hit a smiling face, and Konoha's decision will still affect how others perceive them.

After a month of negotiations, the two ninja villages have made significant progress.

Based on the final negotiation results, the Hidden Cloud Village will send another delegation to the Hidden Leaf Village to formally sign a peace agreement.

As the envoy from Kumogakure was about to arrive, Minato Namikaze convened a brief meeting with a group of high-ranking officials from Konoha in the Hokage's office.

"Although they have ulterior motives, the reception work absolutely cannot go wrong. I'll have to trouble everyone again."

"The police department is ready, and Zhi Shui will be temporarily transferred to the police department to assist in security work."

Yuzhi knew it was time for him to speak, so he stood up without hesitation, as did Shisui, who was sitting next to him.

In the three years that followed, Shisui had changed a lot. He looked much more mature and composed, and his strength had also improved dramatically.

However, he always maintained a humble attitude and always greeted everyone with a smile, which made it easy for people to like him.

His appearance makes it impossible to tell that he is actually a super strong person with the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he doesn't seem like the director of the Internal Affairs Department in the police department at all.

He seemed more like an older or younger brother from next door, but Shisui didn't mind at all; in fact, he was quite happy about it.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Shisui-kun."

Minato nodded, then looked at an ANBU member standing to the side after a moment's thought.

"Kakashi, you're in charge of coordinating with the Anbu and Shisui to ensure things don't go wrong."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Kakashi, wearing a mask, immediately nodded. Three years of growth had given Kakashi enough experience.

He not only uses the Flying Thunder God Technique well, but also applies the Yin Seal appropriately, and he can also make good use of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

With ample chakra, he had more room to maneuver, but he couldn't afford to be reckless.

The Yin Seal truly saved his "dog's life," allowing him to carve more dog heads while using Earth Release, but even the Kaleidoscope Sharingan couldn't withstand it.

He is still extremely cautious in using the kaleidoscope, but at least for now, his growth has far surpassed that of the original work!

He is still diligently serving in the Anbu, but he is also starting to strive for a higher position within the Anbu.

"The issue of reception is not the key. I still think we should be wary of their ground forces. According to reconnaissance, they are quietly gathering, whether it is Kumogakure or Iwagakure."

The third generation leader, with a pipe hanging from his head, spoke with some concern, though he didn't really want such a thing to happen.

However, the other party's aggressive demeanor made things difficult for the Third Generation, even though he preferred to resolve the issue through negotiation.

Whether the other party is willing to talk, and whether the current fourth generation is willing to talk, are all questions.

However, he was, after all, the same person who could say "I am willing to cover the rear" without hesitation back then, and he also had his own spirit.

Even though Konoha lost a large number of Chunin and Genin in the Third Shinobi World War, it still has a considerable number of high-level combatants, which is a source of confidence.

"I propose moving the troops to the Land of Hot Springs, and at the same time communicating with the Land of Rain to see if a small force can be sent there. That would make things much simpler if any problems arise."

"Let's forget about the Land of Rain. If the war involves them, it might affect the ties we've worked so hard to build."

Minato was a fairly kind person. He hesitated for a moment after hearing what the Third Hokage said, but ultimately shook his head.

He was still happy to accept the opinions of the third generation, but as time went by, he gradually matured and began to have his own ideas.

The Third Hokage didn't object to this, as long as Minato was willing to listen to opinions on matters of principle, there was no problem.

However, Yui, who was standing to the side, found the question about the Land of Rain rather amusing. Sending troops into the Land of Rain was practically suicidal.

Once these relatively key issues were clarified, the meeting was adjourned.

Everyone still had their own things to do. For example, Jiraiya, who was unwillingly forced to accept command of the army from the Cloud Village, needed to make preparations.

For the past three years, Jiraiya has unexpectedly remained in Konoha, showing absolutely no intention of venturing out.

However, this guy would occasionally come over to ask if Yuzhi had made any new discoveries, which made Yuzhi's scalp tingle.

"You're asking about eye techniques all day? How am I supposed to know who in Konoha, besides the Hyuga and Uchiha, possesses eye techniques?"

He had considered that what Jiraiya was looking for might be related to the "Child of Prophecy," but wasn't this "Child of Prophecy" Naruto?

When this guy gets busy, it saves Yui a lot of trouble.

The command of the Iwagakure direction was originally intended to be handed over to Tsunade, but Tsunade immediately rejected it with the words, "I have hemophobia."

After much deliberation, the third generation leader volunteered and personally decided to go to the front line to take command!

Actually, the person initially planned to be nominated at the meeting was Yuzhi, so that he could handle a battlefield alone.

After all, his strength, reputation, and the abilities he demonstrated in the police department all indicate that he is capable of handling this task.

If all else fails, just let Nara Shikaku follow him.

But after careful consideration, they ultimately had to abandon the idea.

It wasn't that Yuzhi was unwilling, but he had a more important task: to ensure the safety of the village during wartime.

We need to focus on espionage. Sabotage behind enemy lines has always been a strength of ninjas, and neglecting this could lead to serious problems.

At best, it affects morale; at worst, it can even sway the course of a battle. Therefore, the police force really needs a strong person like Yuri to oversee things.

Moreover, he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he can provide immediate support should any problems arise.

"I'm entrusting Konoha to you, Hagoromo-kun."

Before Yuri left, Minato Namikaze spoke solemnly to her, while Jiraiya and the Third Hokage also greeted her.

"You absolutely mustn't be like Minato, I can't stand it if you're late."

"Jiraiya, shut up! Haori, thank you for your help."

Seeing the performance of the master and apprentice, and then looking at Minato's embarrassed expression, Haori smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, as long as it's not both of you looking for me, I'll be there as soon as possible."

Minato's tardiness is well-known to some, and it seems this bad habit is also spreading to Kakashi.

"It looks like another war is about to break out."

After saying goodbye to Minato and the others, Haori, along with Hikari Shisui and Kakashi who was going to the police department with them, left the office.

As he walked along the road, Shisui couldn't help but sigh; he still deeply longed for and yearned for peace.

"No one can stop war; all we can do is do our own job well."

Kakashi shrugged. He actually hated war too, after all, his generation had grown up amidst war.

"There's really nothing we can do to stop it; let's see if we can change things in the future."

She remained completely silent during the meeting, her only concern being Yuzhi's condition.

Now that the meeting is over, she has naturally recovered, and Kakashi is also her friend.

However, as she said this, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Yuzhi, and not only her, but Shisui did as well.

The two of them were very clear about Yuzhi's thoughts. Even though she had been silent for three years, Yuzhi had made quite a few arrangements.

"Indeed, things might change in the future, but for now we can only react passively."

"What riddle are you guys solving?"

Kakashi listened, feeling confused, as if the three were implying something, but he didn't care and simply stroked his chin.

"What I'm most worried about right now is the people from Kirigakure. I don't know how they'll react."

"Don't worry, Kirigakure themselves are in a real bind right now, there's nothing they can do."

Yuri is quite familiar with Kirigakure.

Three years ago, Yuki suggested that Kirigakure be sabotaged, or more accurately, that Obito be disgusted.

With the help and contact from Konoha, Master Yuan's reputation in Kirigakure continued to rise.

His statement, "Such love is like a flowing stream that will continue to flow and eventually become rivers, lakes, and seas," has become increasingly widespread over time.

Ultimately, it became the "Will of Water".

Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage and caused a massive brawl within the village, resulting in enormous destruction and considerable casualties.

In addition, the defection of Juzo Biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, further worsened the position of the Fourth Mizukage.

If it weren't for the general hostility between Kirigakure and Konoha, this Mizukage would probably be out of a job by now!

However, the Mizukage is still the Mizukage, and because of Konoha, the Master is temporarily unable to rally support from above.

However, Yuan Shi has become completely equal to the Mizukage, and many issues cannot be passed if he opposes them.

It is foreseeable that Obito's situation will only get worse.

It's unlikely that Kirigakure will be able to interfere in the affairs of the ninja world now. Obito is probably only thinking about how to kill Genji!

"Senior, what do you think would happen if Kirigakure got involved?"

Shisui seemed to remember something, and suddenly winked at Haori and asked a question.

"It will only get worse."

Yuzhi decisively rejected Shisui's idea; the Master cannot be touched!

"That's for sure. Konoha is already facing enemies on two fronts. If Kirigakure were to come, Iwagakure probably wouldn't be able to hold back either."

Kakashi shrugged and said helplessly.

"But speaking of which, since Kumogakure has come to negotiate seeking peace, how will they start a war?"

Kakashi was genuinely curious about this, as he didn't quite understand the thought processes of the Cloud Village and the Iwa Village.

If you're going to fight, then fight. Why create so many unnecessary troubles?

"For the sake of public opinion, and to make themselves appear to be on the moral high ground."

Yuzhi recalled the original work and gave a disdainful snort.

"As for how to start a war, it's really not that simple; any little thing could be used."

For example, I could take a bottle of laundry detergent and say it's the most potent poison, capable of killing an entire village with just one bottle.

To destroy these things in order to start a war, wouldn't you say that's a valid reason?

"Uh, yes, but isn't this a bit too surreal?"

"Magical? There are even more magical things out there."

Yu Zhi smiled and shook his head, recalling the things he had seen before he transmigrated, and he really wanted to make a comment.

Aside from the fact that everyone in this world is mentally unstable, what else in this world could be as magical as the one before he transmigrated?

-

"Obito, have you seen Nagato's message?"

"Yes, I've seen it."

Inside the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

Obito sat on the sofa, his aura calm and restrained, his scarlet Sharingan bright and piercing, yet seemingly flashing with a cold light.

Over the course of three years, despite some issues with his talent and his intellectual abilities, Obito still made significant progress.

After all, he had Madara Uchiha's legacy, Black Zetsu was teaching him, and he also had White Zetsu cells in his body.

In addition, he also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan. All of this means that as long as a pig can calm down and diligently hone his skills, he will eventually succeed!

"I never expected that Kumogakure would have such an idea, and Iwagakure is also planning to follow suit."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said.

These three years were the most complicated three years of his life.

If you're talking about how great it was, then it definitely made him feel like he was in heaven!

Obito, that idiot, was completely demoralized, which finally made him obediently and peacefully cultivate for three years.

Instead of causing trouble everywhere, getting chased and beaten, and having his hand broken every time, as before.

Sometimes, Black Zetsu even wondered if Obito had lost his hand, so even the heavens didn't want him to have that arm anymore?

Even though this guy controls a tailed beast, someone still managed to break its arm. That's just too surreal.

Black Zetsu would be more comfortable if Obito behaved himself, but it wouldn't be as comfortable as it seemed, because the hole Obito dug was just too damn big!

The main reason why the Yuan Master's power is rising so rapidly is because that idiot Obito is causing trouble in the village.

Adding to the fact that that bastard Juzo Biwa defected, Black Zetsu's already dark face turned even darker.

If Juzo Biwa hadn't joined the Akatsuki, he would have wanted Obito to bring that guy's head back!

The Fourth Mizukage is still holding on thanks entirely to Black Zetsu, but if things continue like this, his situation is precarious.

However, the savior is that Konoha, which helped the master and made the Mizukage look extremely bad, is now in trouble!

"Indeed, and Iwagakure even hired Akatsuki to participate."

Obito was also quite excited at this moment. He thought for a moment and then asked.

"Should we call upon Kirigakure to join the battle and deliver a fatal blow to Konoha?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Black Zetsu, who was initially in a good mood, almost lost his composure after hearing Obito's words.

"War is indeed a good way to divert attention from problems, but the Yuan Shi forces are not weak right now."

"Launching a war at this time would likely give him an opportunity to attack, and he also has connections with Konoha."

"Hmph, that damned old man."

Obito cursed under his breath, but he cautiously glanced at Black Zetsu.

He also knew that the decline of the Water Shadow was inextricably linked to him, so he didn't dare to speak so loudly anymore.

"So what do you suggest we do now? We're just going to sit here and do nothing with such a great opportunity?"

"Of course we should do it, but not Kirigakure."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito, thought for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Isn't the Akatsuki organization preparing to take action?"

"Hmph, those two guys."

When the Akatsuki organization was mentioned, Obito's expression turned sour. He only learned about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Land of Rain and Konoha later.

Although he admitted that this move was indeed quite good, exploiting Konoha's resources to advance his own career.

However, Obito also knew one thing: Konoha had gained a huge advantage by defeating you, especially since the Land of Rain had given Konoha all of its mission quota!

If they didn't know that Nagato and Konan hated Konoha, given that these two were Jiraiya's disciples and their actions, they would have suspected that the two had betrayed them.

"I know you're unhappy, but what we need to see is the actual results. If they get things done, that's a good thing."

Black Zetsu casually remarked, but he was also pondering how to get Obito away.

He had enjoyed himself for three years, and he wanted to continue enjoying himself. He couldn't stand Obito messing around by his side.

After thinking it over, he finally spoke.

"You've grown a lot in these three years, both in terms of Wood Release and your use of the Sharingan."

"I think you can participate in Akatsuki's operations this time too."

"After all, the Akatsuki are all listening to Nagato now, which isn't a good thing for you."

Because Obito was missing an eye, his attack power was extremely lacking. In order to make up for it, he finally chose Wood Release as a modification plan.

With his knowledge of Yin-Yang Techniques, Six Paths Techniques, and Madara Uchiha's understanding of Wood Release, he learned quite quickly.

Furthermore, learning Wood Release enhanced his Yin-Yang Release abilities, which was extremely beneficial for his Sharingan usage.

Now, after three years of reflection, he can completely outdo his past self from three years ago!

Furthermore, because Obito was in seclusion for three years, the development of the Akatsuki organization was completely unrelated to him, which could very likely cause the Akatsuki organization to slip out of their control.

This is something even Black Zetsu, and even Obito, cannot accept!

"Yes, it's definitely worth moving around a bit."

Obito nodded upon hearing this, his fist clenching slightly.

"Furthermore, with Konoha participating in the war, Kakashi might join, as might Uchiha Haori, or even that fake Rin."

Obito never forgot his original aspirations, or rather, he always persisted in these things.

He vowed to change everything, and he was determined to do it.

Even if the Sage of Six Paths came, it wouldn't make a difference!

-

"Seriously, another war is about to break out."

Sitting at home, she leaned against Yuzhi and stretched slightly before saying with a hint of helplessness.

"I hope the war isn't as troublesome as I've imagined, otherwise it'll really waste my time."

"Alright, you're not weak anymore."

Upon hearing Hikari's words, Haori couldn't help but shake her head slightly; this girl had truly been provoked by her.

"Besides, participating in the war wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for us; it's a way to hone our Sharingan, isn't it?"

"I think I'm pretty good at using my eyes, but it's a bit of a pity."

Hikari rested her head on Hagoromo's shoulder, glanced at the little fox sleeping in her arms, and reached out to tug at the fox's tail.

The little fox looked up at Hikari in a daze, then simply shook its head, kneaded or scratched at Yuri's legs, and went back to curl up and sleep.

This scene amused Hikaru, who heard from Yuzhi that the little fox had basically digested half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

He seems to know his and Yuri's preferences, so he deliberately maintains this figure, but it has to be said that he is indeed cute.

Fortunately, Hikari didn't continue to torment the little guy. She looked at Haori and spoke.

"I still haven't been able to use the Eight Thousand Spears properly. The marking process is too troublesome. Perhaps I should really think of a solution."

The Eight Thousand Spears of Light are extremely powerful; they can not only absorb chakra but also be used in conjunction with her genjutsu.

However, such a powerful ability has an extremely awkward problem: the wind-up time is too long, and it is extremely difficult to truly imprint it on someone else.

The enemy isn't stupid; they won't stand still and leave a mark on you. This is why, in actual combat, the only mark that the light left was on that lunatic Obito.

However, that lunatic reacted extremely quickly, not only using Izanagi to heal but also decisively severing his own arm.

"Are there advantages and disadvantages? After all, eight thousand spears are so powerful, we can't just engrave them with a glare, can we?"

Haori leaned against Hikari, but he couldn't help but recall the question he had been pondering for many years.

With eight thousand spears being so powerful, it seems the best way to cover everyone is through two.

One approach is to directly apply Infinite Tsukuyomi, but how to transform Infinite Tsukuyomi into the Eight Thousand Spears is a huge problem.

Another one is to create something called "Chakra VR," developing a game that incorporates the chakra of light, and whoever plays it will be affected!

However, the second one isn't ideal either. Instead of wasting time on that, you should think about how to improve yourself.

"By the way, how's that research you mentioned going?"

Although Guang was somewhat annoyed by the use of the Eight Thousand Spears, she thought about it and stopped worrying about it. What was the point of worrying anyway?

"Pocket?"

Hagoromo immediately understood what Hikari meant, and he rubbed Hikari's little head.

"Not particularly good. Kimimaro is quite good; his bloodline limit performance is excellent, but what about the Hyuga clan..."

Kabuto is undeniably a genius, ever since Haori explained the situation to him and used her "money power" to get Tsunade to take him on as a disciple.

His performance can be described as rapid progress. He is extremely talented and also works exceptionally hard.

Although he didn't learn Tsunade's immense strength or the Yin Seal, he did study medical matters in great detail.

Not only that, he also taught himself about cells, all in order to complete the haori experiment properly.

And Yuzhi didn't treat him badly. Now Yuzhi has begun to teach him about Sage Mode, and this guy's learning speed is incredibly fast.

It has to be said that this guy truly deserves to be called the "perfect sage" in the original work. Now, apart from the fact that the duration is not long enough, he is also a person who can truly use Sage Mode!

No matter how outstanding he is, he will face the dilemma of "a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice." Although the Byakugan is a good fit, it ultimately lacks the Hyuga's unique qualities.

"I might have hesitated before, even considering whether to use a fake account to attack them, but now I don't need to."

As Haori embraced Hikari, her smile grew even brighter.

"If a real fight breaks out, Hyuga won't be spared either. I think I can get something I want from it."

They could even directly target certain skilled individuals and obtain their blood, allowing the experiments to continue.

"It seems this war is extremely beneficial to you."

Hikaru was both amused and exasperated by what he heard, but since it was beneficial to Hikaru, it was certainly not a bad thing.

However, Yuri is also considering one thing: how to handle this war.

"It's been three years. I've been busy integrating my bloodline limit and haven't deployed it much. This time, it won't do."

For three years, the identity of "Uchiha Madara" never appeared.

But now, both Onoki and the Fourth Raikage have given him a chance to make a move.

Especially for the Cloud Village, they had been waiting for the chakra of the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails.

Even if it's uncertain whether these two Jinchūriki will actually participate, it's still something to look forward to.

Furthermore, Iwagakure lacks the Five-Tails' chakra, and Han didn't dare use Jinchuriki mode during their last encounter, leaving Hagoromo with no way to attack.

If he dares to show himself this time, Yuzhi will naturally dare to strike back hard!

"Besides, now I can truly unleash a portion of Madara Uchiha's power, right?"

Eternal Eyes, Susanoo in its fifth stage—these are manifestations of Madara Uchiha's power!

Yu Zhi admits that she is probably not as good as this guy at the same level right now, but this incomparability is only based on the power of the Sharingan!

When he was using the alias Madara Uchiha, he was constantly using the combination of the Dragon Vein and the Nine-Tails' chakra.

This level of strength should be able to compensate for the difference in Sharingan strength to some extent!

"Uchiha Madara in his Eternal Eye state?"

Yuri's smile grew even brighter, and he tightened his embrace of Hikaru.

"Onoki, have you ever witnessed Madara Uchiha's true power?"

1. Defeat Iwagakure and Akatsuki, and protect Konoha's honor.

2. Assist Iwagakure and Akatsuki in causing Konoha's prestige to plummet to the core.

Just as Yuzhi was pondering, the system in his mind suddenly flashed slightly and then quickly refreshed.

Looking at the two tasks before her, Yuzhi's smile became even brighter.

It seems that this time, Onoki will inevitably have to recall the fear of being brutally attacked by Madara Uchiha.

"And it's not just about bringing the name 'Uchiha Madara' back into the public eye; perhaps my reputation can also reach a new level."
