Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 166 Dragon Vein Transmigration? Immortal Body!

"Uchiha Obito..."

Yuri looked at Jiraiya with a strange expression, feeling that her brain wasn't quite working properly.

Or rather, he simply couldn't understand Jiraiya's thought process. Why couldn't he think like a normal person?

Although Obito is indeed "Dark Naruto" in a certain sense, he has truly turned completely evil and is beyond saving.

"Didn't you just say that he's still alive and in Konoha? Is it possible...?"

The haori was really hard to hold up, so he could only offer a suggestion, which resulted in Jiraiya looking at him with disbelief.

"So you dug him up back then and secretly kept him within the Uchiha clan to recuperate?"

"Can't you be a little more rational?"

"..."

"Who would dig him up? This is wartime! If I ever saw his body, I'd burn him alive!"

"..."

Jiraiya was at a loss for words when he heard Haori's outrageous remarks, but upon reflection, they made perfect sense.

During wartime, if an Uchiha with the Sharingan was about to die in the wilderness and there was clearly no way to save him, it would be perfectly normal to burn him down.

Jiraiya also believed that the haori was definitely something that could be made, since not revealing the secret of one's clan's bloodline was essential knowledge for every clan's ninja.

"I'm sorry, I got too excited."

Jiraiya awkwardly scratched his head, then gave a dejected laugh and said...

"I've been trying to figure out that secret for three years. Three years! Do you know how I've gotten through these three years...?"

"I know, the helmet at the hot spring resort gets him hospitalized from time to time, of course I know."

Yuri picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then interrupted Jiraiya before he could finish speaking.

"Don't forget I'm the Minister of Police. Over the past three years, I've received enough complaints about you and been tasked with arresting you to fill a drawer. Would you like to see it?"

"Um...that...it was all a misunderstanding..."

Jiraiya's face stiffened, and he almost started babbling. He really hadn't expected to receive so many complaints.

But he felt that he hadn't done anything heinous.

I just peeked at it...

"So you should be thanking me for not treating you properly, otherwise you would have been in the hospital many times."

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Yuzhi suddenly smiled and said.

"Actually, if you were the Hokage, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

"cut."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya snapped out of his daze. He wanted to retort, but then suddenly remembered that the person in front of him would never let him become Hokage, so he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"I think you're just doing this to disgust me because you find being Hokage too tiring..."

"Your teacher left behind a crystal ball that allows you to freely view any location in Konoha that he has set up."

"what……"

"Especially hot spring resorts, bathhouses, and the like."

"...That damned old scoundrel!"

Jiraiya remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a wronged roar, his desolate expression making him look as if he had been deceived.

Seeing this, Hagoromo could only shake his head. Did Jiraiya not know what kind of person his teacher was?

However, he was too lazy to think about how aggrieved Jiraiya was. He was thinking about something else, namely the prophesied child that Jiraiya spoke of.

Naruto's failure to find the prophesied child was indeed somewhat unexpected by Hagoromo.

And now it seems that, unsurprisingly, the child of prophecy has fallen upon himself, Kakashi, and Obito Uchiha.

The possibility of it being Obito Uchiha is very low, but considering that Hagoromo never considered him a rogue ninja, he is still considered a hero of Konoha, and he can come back to cause trouble from time to time.

It's not unreasonable to consider him as a possibility...

"But it's most likely to be me and Kakashi, right?"

Yu Zhi felt somewhat absurd that he had inexplicably become the child of prophecy, since he wasn't following the path of the Six Paths.

He never believed in the idea that "people can reach a reconciliation through communication." Although that's true, there's a saying: "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering."

Moreover, this is just an individual. If we elevate this to a platform like a nation or a ninja village, then communication and exchange are necessary. However, the relationship between nations and ninja villages has always been driven by self-interest!

Although Onoki was an enemy, he saw this matter very clearly.

Therefore, Yuuchi always felt that Jiraiya, and even the Rokudo group, were "idealistic".

"Could it be that I, the Hokage, am truly destined to become the Child of Prophecy, or even the Child of Prophecy who will shatter the will of the Six Paths?"

Yuzhi thought with no ill intent, and looking at Jiraiya's dejected face, he thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Alright, let's get down to business. You said the key information about the person you're looking for is right there, so it's probably Kakashi or Obito, as expected."

"Why?"

When Jiraiya heard Haori start talking about serious matters again, he immediately snapped out of his daze.

"Didn't you just say Obito was impossible? How come...?"

"The Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, and I have never declared him a rogue ninja. He has always been a Konoha ninja."

Yuzhi tapped the table and spoke calmly.

"That means, if he's not dead, and didn't you just say he was wearing a Konoha headband?"

"yes……"

Jiraiya stroked his chin, and suddenly something occurred to him.

The Great Toad Sage did tell him that the guy was wearing a Konoha headband, but he didn't specify that the guy was definitely in Konoha!

In addition, the Great Toad Sage also said that the guy was not his disciple, and that he appeared "extremely elusive and elusive."

This seems to further confirm one thing: the mysterious guy who obtained Obito's eyes does indeed appear elusive every time.

"What's worse, the Great Toad Sage also said that 'you can both become friends with the Tailed Beasts and make them your pets'..."

Jiraiya could never forget the Nine-Tails incident, and it seemed that being able to control a tailed beast could indeed achieve this.

In a sense, he can create a stable world, or he can make the world extremely chaotic!

"Could it really be Obito Uchiha?"

"I don't know, since no body was found, but I also think it could be Kakashi."

Yuri shrugged, having completely distanced himself from the situation. Regardless of whether it was him or not, he didn't want to be constantly nagged by Jiraiya.

"Kakashi has always been in Konoha, and in some ways he inherited Obito's eyes. Most importantly, he was the first person to withstand the Sharingan."

"Kakashi...?"

Jiraiya nodded. Kakashi was indeed special. Although he wasn't his student this time, Kakashi was Minato's student.

Moreover, Kakashi is a normal person, someone who has withstood the Mangekyou Sharingan and can use its eye techniques.

Most importantly, Kakashi was one of those who underwent experiments on white blood cells, so he is probably even more suited to using the Sharingan.

In that case...

"Yu... Lord Hokage, I think I've found what I'm looking for!"

Thinking this through, Jiraiya found himself unconsciously drawn to Kakashi. He looked at Hagoromo with utmost seriousness and spoke.

"It's good that we found it."

Yuzhi nodded, touched her chin, and then spoke again.

"But your words have reminded me that Obito might not actually be dead. Perhaps we can look for him."

"I will try to investigate."

Jiraiya immediately agreed, and after a moment's thought, he spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Hokage-sama, I hope we can investigate that mysterious person further. His eye is also crucial to Kakashi!"

Coincidentally, Obito thought the same thing...

"He can't escape. How could I possibly ignore this guy?"

Yuzhi readily agreed, but for Kakashi and the others, it was a thorn in their side, even though Obito was completely beyond saving.

However, his influence on Kakashi and Rin still exists, and it is absolutely necessary to eliminate this influence!

"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sensei..."

Just as Hagoromo and Jiraiya were pondering, Minato's voice suddenly came over.

Looking up, I saw that Minato, the Third Hokage, the Second Hokage, and others had all arrived at the teahouse.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Haori looked at them strangely, while Minato walked up to him with a serious expression and whispered.

"There's a special situation; it's a message from Kirigakure and the Land of Rain..."

-

"Xiao Nan, has the message been sent?"

In the Land of Rain, Nagato, sitting in his wheelchair, looked at Konan in the study and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's already been sent over."

Xiao Nan nodded, but instead of looking up, she was carefully studying a map showing the distribution of potential resources within the Rain Kingdom.

Yuzhi had talked to her so much that night, and she naturally gained a lot. Now she was determined to take action, otherwise she wouldn't have advocated sending such important information to Konoha.

Onoki was definitely a pragmatist; after thinking about those things, he took immediate action.

Although the Land of Rain is a small country, it produced a figure like Hanzo the Salamander, who even gave Konoha a hard time back then.

Naturally, he also became someone he needed to win over. It has to be said that Yuzhi's last meeting with them was quite coincidental, which gave Konan an opportunity.

"Honestly, why do you believe that guy so much?"

Nagato watched as Konan continued working, feeling both distressed and quite annoyed.

"That guy had bad intentions. How could he say something like that? Don't you think he went too far?"

"Could he be joking?"

Xiao Nan also felt a bit of a headache when she heard this, and after thinking for a moment, she gave this answer.

However, she was thinking that if she could successfully revive Yahiko and help Nagato recover, the cost of doing so would be the smallest, right?

But she quickly shook her head; what ninjas of this caliber pursued was probably quite different long ago.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. That guy didn't give any answer either. Let's think about what happened this time instead."

"That Onoki guy is probably scared out of his wits by Konoha, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a decision."

Nagato snorted softly, but he also felt a little uneasy when he saw his own crippled legs.

"But Konan, have you considered the consequences of your actions? What will happen to the Land of Rain...?"

"I've been thinking about this issue for a long time, and I keep asking myself the same question."

Konan sighed; she naturally knew what Nagato wanted to ask.

"I've been thinking about how we can make the Land of Rain a better place after we take it over, and how we can make the world a better place by establishing a new ninja world order."

"When we have absolute power, then..."

Upon hearing this, Nagato instinctively spoke up, but Konan shook her head, interrupting him.

"Nagato, calm down. Let's take a look at the Land of Rain before making any comments. We should not forget what the Land of Rain was like when we first took over."

Furthermore, Nagato, I'd like to ask you another question. Our goal in seeking world peace is to eliminate war, but have we considered how to ensure everyone's well-being afterwards?

Nagato fell silent upon hearing these words. He wasn't stupid at all; he just couldn't find peace of mind when facing Konoha.

Especially since that guy who gave them feedback went too far. Whether it was true or not, as long as it involved Xiao Nan, he really couldn't hold back!

Yahiko is dead. Konan is the most important person to him, even if that guy can revive Yahiko and heal himself.

But if the price is Xiao Nan, he'd rather not have it!

He believed that even Yahiko would make the same choice.

Sighing inwardly, Nagato remained silent for a while before shaking his head and saying, "I hadn't thought about it. Perhaps we were being a bit naive."

"We were indeed a bit naive, which is why we were completely fooled by that 'imposter,' and neither you nor I were."

Xiao Nan gently shook her head, looking intently at Nagato.

"So we also need to learn, and we also need to think about how to make the world a better place after peace is achieved. This is also a question we need to consider."

Although our initial idea was to force everyone to unite through the threat of the "Tailed Beasts".

But once I truly took control of the country and the villages, I realized that some things weren't so simple, after all, each village had its own interests and considerations.

"Yes, even if they unite, they will still fight fiercely over the distribution of benefits."

Nagato snorted coldly, and then spoke.

"At that time, Konoha might be able to deliberately unite everyone, and then he could use those methods to..."

Nagato himself was stunned at this point, and Konan, who was standing next to him, was also taken aback.

For a moment, only the soft patter of rain filled the room, and the two of them remained unusually silent…

-

Konoha, a teahouse located in a bustling area.

Countless Konoha ninjas watched from afar as the teahouse, surrounded by layers of Anbu ninja, began to ask each other questions out of curiosity.

Of course, they didn't think it was the secret service arresting some criminal, since it was right by the window.

They could clearly see their Fifth Hokage flipping through documents and talking to the former Hokage, the Fourth and Third Hokage, beside him.

"The Hokage is really busy. Does he even work during his rest time?"

"Is it not working hours now?"

"Try talking nonsense again!"

"That's right, the Hokage is so busy, how dare you speak carelessly about him?"

The ninjas were making a lot of noise, but they kept their voices very low, not wanting to disturb Yuuki and the others in the distance.

Of course, they were also curious about what Yui and the others were talking about, but unfortunately, due to some special barriers, they were unable to make a lip-reading judgment.

They could only watch from afar and stay put obediently.

Inside the teahouse, Yuri couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she looked at the report brought by Minato.

"The Five Kage Summit? Is Onoki too old? Is he losing his mind?"

"Hmph, I know that old man Onoki too. It seems that he was forced into a tough position by Madara Uchiha back then. Maybe seeing you reminded him of Madara Uchiha."

Tobirama Senju sat inside. Although he didn't care if people knew he was there, he would still try to avoid being seen if he could.

Moreover, he was genuinely angered by Yuzhi, and he wouldn't miss any opportunity to annoy her.

He simply looked up and saw the Hokage statue under construction in the distance, and for a moment he was extremely annoyed.

He was particularly annoyed when he noticed that the outline of the image on the haori was exceptionally well-crafted.

"Tch, that's called deterrence, what do you know?"

Yuzhi shook his head indifferently, but he also found the document in his hand rather amusing.

"However, it seems that we have really pushed them to the limit this time. If I had known that this would be the result, I should not have suggested that Minato-senpai only take away such a small amount of things."

We have to make them bleed a good bet. I thought treating them kindly would keep them in line, but I never expected them to be so ungrateful.

"In retrospect, they really got off too easy."

The Third Hokage nodded in agreement, and even Minato seemed somewhat regretful. They had meant well, but things had turned out this way, which made them quite dissatisfied.

"However, the Land of Rain was also invited, so it seems they don't know that Hanzo the Salamander is dead."

Jiraiya couldn't help but speak up at this moment, as he was the first to discover Hanzo's death.

"And the Land of Rain seems to be quite nice, actually giving us information on its own initiative."

Can I refuse? I've already made promises using other identities...

Yuzhi found it amusing, while Hikari, who had been pulled over along with her, glanced at Yuzhi and asked curiously.

"So what do we do now? Should we just take this opportunity to wipe them both out?"

"No!"

"Yingjun, this won't do!"

The Third Hokage and Minato couldn't hold back any longer when they heard the naked man's murderous words. Minato hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"They haven't done anything substantial to us, and it would be morally and legally untenable for us to take action."

In addition, this will increase the credibility of their actions, which will be extremely unfavorable to us in terms of public opinion.

Besides, Konoha also needs some rest. If a war breaks out, it will definitely be another Shinobi World War, and our personnel cannot withstand such losses..."

The losses of Konoha personnel after the Third Shinobi World War were enormous. Even though they had been peaceful for so many years, how could such a huge loss be made up for in just a few years?

Not to mention those from the distant past, most of Yuzhi's generation have already fallen on the battlefield.

"It's alright, let them play."

Completely disregarding the gazes of others, Hagoromo reached out and took Hikari's hand before smiling and speaking.

"They can do whatever they want. We just need to develop ourselves step by step. After all, we already have our own plans, don't we?"

"Are we just going to watch them face us like this?"

Hikaru raised an eyebrow, but she didn't reject Yuzhi. She was just a little curious about what Yuzhi was thinking.

"Of course not. Putting aside whether they have the guts, there's nothing wrong with their cooperation like this."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Yu Zhi grinned mischievously.

"I even plan to inform the Fifth Mizukage and tell him that he absolutely must join."

"You're not stopping this kind of thing, and you even want the Mizukage to join in? Are you alright?"

Although Jiraiya was quite intelligent, he didn't quite understand this roundabout way of speaking at first.

"You want the Mizukage to pass on information to us while simultaneously sabotaging them?"

Tobirama Senju was definitely a seasoned veteran; he immediately understood what Haori meant.

"That's right. Sometimes, what appears as closeness can actually be a sign of dislike."

For some reason, Yuzhi remembered the words of a certain knight, and he tapped the table and said with a smile.

"The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village already had conflicts, and they also won over the Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and even the Hidden Rain Village, which made the conflicts even more numerous."

If we let Kirigakure in, we can have Kirigakure unite with Sunagakure to counterbalance Iwagakure, since those small border countries are constantly embroiled in conflicts of interest.

Especially since Sunagakure is so poor, if they just nitpick on this issue, then these two places will definitely not be able to stay stable.

At the same time, it can also unite with Iwagakure to counterbalance Kumogakure. Wasn't the Fourth Raikage's father killed by Iwagakure?

I refuse to believe that such a blood feud involving the murder of one's father can be left unresolved. Even if we can set aside our differences, what will the Land of Iron say?

The same goes for Amegakure. It's caught between our three great nations, so we've put it in a position to join forces with Kirigakure to antagonize Sunagakure and Iwagakure in order to achieve its own development.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to stay calm now. Divide and rule, huh? Trying to unite them will only make them more divided."

Yuri's wicked grin widened, and the Third Hokage, Minato, and even Jiraiya all turned extremely ugly upon hearing his words.

What kind of vicious person could come up with such a method?

However, their gazes soon fell upon the satisfied-looking second-generation leader standing to the side...

How vicious must one be to react so quickly?

"So if we want to deal with them, we have to break in and breach them from within."

Tobirama Senju was very satisfied with Haori's idea, and he nodded directly.

"At this stage, we cannot use external pressure to deal with them, so we should try to stir things up from within."

"Using the geographical advantage of Kirigakure, we can defeat Sand Village and then Iwagakure, defeat Iwagakure and then Kumogakure, and then defeat Amegakure and then both Sand Village and Iwagakure—it's perfect!"

Indeed, this was the glorious era of Great Britain, the land on which the sun never sets, not the sunset kingdom of Indian Britain before Yuzhi's time travel...

"Although vicious, it's still a good method..."

Minato was a bit of a headache. Yuri's method was really wicked to the core, but he didn't have any objections. However, he thought of a problem.

"Would the Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Rain agree to this? They could easily have their cake and eat it too."

"Don't worry about Kirigakure, I told you I would handle them."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi couldn't help but laugh, and he tapped the table.

"What I'm most worried about is that our appearance in Kirigakure will arouse suspicion from Onoki and the others; everything else is fine."

If you're really worried, just send Zhishui over; he can solve a lot of problems.

As for the Land of Rain…”

"I'll go take a look."

Before Haori could finish speaking, Jiraiya suddenly spoke up.

When he spoke of the Land of Rain, he not only had memories of Hanzo the Salamander, but also of his three disciples.

More importantly, he really felt that the woman who appeared in Konoha last time was Konan!

He had never mentioned this topic, and he had never sought to verify the "Child of Prophecy."

Now that he has received Yuzhi's hint, one of his small wishes has been fulfilled. He also wants to take this opportunity to visit the Land of Rain, at least to learn about the situation there.

Jiraiya's words startled Hagoromo; he hadn't expected Jiraiya to be so eager to die!

In the original story, he ran to the Land of Rain, only to end up losing himself. Now, he's having this idea again, which is really making Yuzhi a bit nervous.

"I think you should reconsider..."

After thinking for a while, Yuzhi couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"No need, no need, I'm very strong, how could there be any problems?"

Jiraiya laughed heartily for a couple of moments before speaking with utmost seriousness.

"Although I don't really support your idea, I can't really object since you've already made up your minds. I might as well try to sound you out."

Besides, as long as they don't fight, letting them fall into chaos on their own might not be a bad idea.

Of course, I will still finish the task that the second generation asked me to do before I leave.

"Lord Hokage, you should prepare yourself. Even if you have exceptional talent, Sage Mode is no simple matter."

"Is this... what you're talking about?"

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Yugi thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

He then simply raised his palm, and in an instant, a strange fluctuation of natural power appeared on his body.

With this fluctuation, Jiraiya and Minato's eyes widened in surprise, while Tobirama Senju's mouth involuntarily opened.

The three of them were all too familiar with this power. Even though Tobirama Senju had never used it, he had at least seen his older brother use it!

hum-

With the strong guidance of chakra, a strong aura of natural chakra appeared on Yuzhi's body, and a light purple eyeshadow appeared at the corner of his eye.

In an instant, the entire teahouse shook violently, and a storm of chakra erupted from his body, blowing everyone except for Guang away in an instant!

They sat on the ground in a disheveled state, staring in amazement at Haori, who was still sitting there. Jiraiya couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Holy crap...it really is Sage Mode?"

-

"There's really a lot going on."

Late at night, at Yuri's house.

Haori was writing and drawing on a piece of paper with a pen, while Hikaru sat quietly beside him, watching the marks he left on the paper.

The little fox was sleeping at his feet, and perhaps because of the 'Origin of Chakra', the little fox was becoming more and more clingy.

After a while, Haori stretched and complained, and Hikaru handed her the tea at the right time.

"Have a drink, honestly. You're still so busy even when you're home, and the worst part is that you're not even busy with Hokage-related matters."

"There's no need to worry too much about the Hokage situation. The most urgent thing right now is to deal with the secret technique I obtained."

Yuri took a small sip of tea and looked at Hikaru with a smile.

"That secret technique is too crude, so I need to revise it properly and then confirm it with 'God Tianjin'."

Speaking of "God Tensei," Yuri couldn't help but feel grateful to Uchiha Fugaku once again, because if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to obtain such an excellent eye technique.

It's a pity that Yuzhi has only used the "Eye Technique Transplantation Technique" once so far, since there aren't that many Kaleidoscopes for him to use now.

But at least he has acquired a valuable technique.

"But it would be such a waste not to use it. Should we take some time to study the dragon vein properly and see if it really allows us to go to different timelines, like our original timeline?"

In Yuzhi's view, the concept of time travel has never involved "going back to the past to change the future".

Although there are many similar movies, this creates a time paradox. It tends to go back to the past, and then moving forward from the past is your future.

Instead of being able to correct some problems by changing the future, simply put, you just need to go back and do a few small things.

Then what follows is endless change, and the world will give birth to countless branches, thus forming a new world, unless you really do nothing.

But is such a thing even possible?

"However, we need to take a closer look before making a decision, since I don't really know much about dragon veins..."

Yuzhi is very self-aware and has always used the Dragon Vein only in combat. Moreover, he has always used it with restraint for fear of accidents.

However, he speculated that if the dragon vein were to unleash its maximum power, it would likely cause spacetime fluctuations, but it was hard to say where such spacetime fluctuations would take them.

"Going to the original timeline is fine, but going to the past would be terrible. Of course, just going to that specific point in time wouldn't be a problem..."

Yuri took a sip of tea, muttering to herself, but Hikaru spoke up at that moment.

"There's no need to work so hard. We need to fuse so much chakra to form a bloodline limit, and we don't know how long it will take to get to that point."

Moreover, with each fusion, I can sense that the difficulty of the next fusion is increasing. It's hard to say whether we'll even need this technique by then.

"The fusion of bloodline limits is inherently a way of squeezing out talent, but I can't even imagine the extent of your talent..."

Yuri reached out and gently scratched Hikaru's nose before continuing with a smile.

"Scorching Release, Lava Release, and now Flame Release. Even though Flame Release is still a little bit short, it's basically complete."

"Think about Onoki, that guy only has Dust Release. You can think about your talent now."

"Compared to you, I seem to be a little bit lacking."

Hikari nodded, then tilted her head to look at Yuori, but her words almost made Yuori choke on her tea.

His talent...

It's better not to say anything!

Besides, he and Hikari aren't even on the same track. Hikari relies purely on talent, while Haori is definitely a player with cheat codes.

"No, I should say I have a spirit..."

Yuzhi mentally complained before looking at the light.

"I've just used a few more than you. You know, at my most dedicated, I could see the sun rise over Konoha at four in the morning."

"Really?" Hikaru frowned. "I don't get the feeling you're getting up very early."

"That's because you didn't notice."

"But we don't sleep together..."

"In the future, I will let you see the sun rise at four in the morning in Konoha."

Before Hikaru could finish speaking, Haori interrupted her with a meaningful smile, which startled Hikaru.

The next moment, she blushed, not only because she thought of something, but also because Yuzhi's hand suddenly grabbed her foot!

"Hey, weren't you supposed to be doing some serious research? Why are you messing around again?"

"Let me help you relax, and let me relax too."

"You're just going to relax like that?"

"Shall we go back to our room?"

Hikaru was really at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated. Yuri's damned fetish was truly hopeless; when she went crazy, she would even put her mouth close to it.

Sometimes she wanted to ask Yuri, "Do you still want to savor it more?"

However, she didn't dare, because she was worried that Yuzhi would actually say "Okay, okay," and then really do it...

"Okay, don't overthink it, we'll succeed."

As she rubbed it, she spoke slowly.

"You must believe in your talent, and also believe that I can help you, especially since you now have the bloodlines of the Uchiha, Senju, and even the Hyuga and Taketori."

"As you gradually integrate and adapt, your bloodline will naturally become stronger, and many things will become simpler. Besides, I said I would help you resolve any worries."

"Um……"

Hikari nodded softly, but seeing Haori lift both her feet and put them on his legs, she was at a loss for words.

However, Yuzhi's words made sense, because after the previous fusion, in addition to feeling her bloodline improve, she also gained other benefits.

On one hand, there's the Flame Release. The Flame Release that was originally somewhat 'distant' has, after that fusion, been reduced to just a tiny bit!

Besides that, there was her eyes; she clearly sensed that her eyes had undergone a rapid improvement.

She could already sense a bottomless abyss in front of her eyes, and this abyss blocked her way forward.

However, along with the previous injection, she was astonished to find that a bridge seemed to have appeared in the abyss, and that this bridge could lead her to the other side!

However, this bridge is clearly not fully completed yet and will take some more time to build, but it is still a glimmer of hope for seeing the other side.

"But now that he's logged into 'The Other Shore,' this guy's probably getting excited..."

For some reason, Hikari suddenly looked up at the haori that was constantly moving in front of her, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Actually, she didn't really care about all that, after all, she had already decided on Yuzhi, but she was also afraid of this guy being so abnormal...

"Lord Hokage, Lord Jiraiya requests an audience."

Just as Hikaru was pondering his future, and Haori was happily helping him relax, Rin's voice came from outside.

Because of the soundproof barrier, the sound inside the room cannot travel outside.

But they could still clearly hear the sounds outside, which gave Guang a chance to pull his foot back.

"Stop fooling around, someone's coming."

"Oh……"

Seeing Hikaru hurriedly start tidying his clothes, Haori couldn't help but purse her lips. She had only been rubbing her feet; she hadn't done anything else.

Thinking to himself, he put away the little fox that was still sleeping at his feet, then picked up his teacup and drank some tea, which made Guang both amused and exasperated.

"Won't you go wash your hands?"

Is it really necessary?

"You really are..."

Too lazy to say anything more about Haori, she turned around and opened the door. She didn't want to stay in the room any longer, so she simply pulled Rin in and led her to her own room.

Jiraiya walked in at that moment, and seeing a pile of scrolls on the haori table, he felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night..."

"Would you feel embarrassed?"

Yuzhi rolled her eyes, then smiled and said.

"Please sit down. Is there something you need from Jiraiya-senpai?"

"It's nothing major. I was just thinking of leaving and wanted to say goodbye to you, Hokage, in advance so you wouldn't think I've deserted."

Jiraiya sat down with a smile, then looked at the haori and fell silent for a moment before shaking his head with a wry smile.

"I never imagined you were a celestial being. Your talent and gifts are truly enviable..."

Immortal Body?

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi was both amused and exasperated.

He knows perfectly well how he acquired Sage Mode. If it weren't for the system's help, how could he have learned Sage Mode?

"Actually, it wasn't my doing; it was because I injected those white cells."

Yuzhi shook his head and spoke seriously.

"You know what those cells are, so stop saying things like that."

"At least you succeeded, didn't you?"

Jiraiya didn't care. He could tell that although Haori's Sage Mode had some traces of "Mount Myoboku", it didn't belong to "Mount Myoboku" at all.

Although he didn't know why, Jiraiya didn't want to ask any further questions. Instead, he took out a scroll and placed it on the table.

"Here you go, these are some tips I've learned about Sage Mode. I think these things might be helpful to you too."

Since I'm going to the Land of Rain, I won't be able to properly teach you, but you can ask Minato for help; he's also learned Sage Mode.

With the information on the immortal and Minato's guidance, I believe you will definitely make further progress!

When I get back, I can give you a thorough check-up. And this time, I can finally focus on completing my mission in Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Yuri felt for some reason as if she were hearing a flag, as if Jiraiya was no longer desperate to die.

He's choosing a path that's certain to lead to his death...
