Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 186 Seeking the Dao Ball! Nagato: I'm a Traitor (7K Chapters)

"This is."

Looking at the black sphere floating in mid-air, I felt the connection between the sphere and myself, and the power it contained that seemed capable of destroying everything.

This made him extremely excited for a moment, but also made him feel a little confused.

"This is the Seeking the Way Jade."

Of course, Yuzhi knew what this black sphere that had suddenly appeared and was closely connected to him was, but in his memory, it was not an easy thing to condense such a thing!

It seems that it requires blood to eliminate or a terrifying ability like the "Tenseigan Chakra Mode" to create, right?

But slowly, as he became closer to the suddenly appearing Seeking Jade within himself, and more information flowed between them, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

"So, I was wrong."

Although the Truth-Seeking Ball possesses all the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and can easily unleash power beyond Bloodline Limits and Bloodline Elimination, it has a characteristic that is easily overlooked.

It does not belong to the Bloodline Limit!

It does require the fusion of all chakra attributes, but its characteristic is "fusion," not "complete integration."

Therefore, no matter how strong it is, it does not belong to the power of bloodline in essence, but rather to the category of "technique"!

"Is this a technique?"

Although it felt somewhat unbelievable, in fact, as the haori continued to connect with it, it continuously perceived the essence of the power.

He also gained a deeper understanding of the power of this Seeking the Way Jade and its characteristics.

"This is indeed a kind of 'technique,' but to truly bring this technique to this level and condense the Seeking the Way Jade is something that not just anyone can do."

Glancing at the light that was slowly returning, Yuzhi stretched out his other hand, and the black Truth-Seeking Ball obediently floated to his palm and remained suspended.

That destructive power was constantly gathering, seemingly about to be released entirely!

The essence of Truth-Seeking Balls lies in their ability to create form using Yin-Yang Release techniques, while simultaneously incorporating high-density chakra of the seven attributes of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements to condense them.

Yin-Yang Release is an insurmountable obstacle for the entire ninja world!

In a world where even ordinary people struggle to control Yin and Yang Release techniques, achieving this is already an unimaginable feat.

This is also why the Third Hokage and his people said that Yuki was acting "righteously" after she was willing to share the information about Yang Release cultivation methods from the moon.

These abilities are so precious that they are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Furthermore, the Seeking Truth Jewel contains the 'Power of All Things,' and one way to activate the 'Power of All Things' is through the fusion of the powers of Indra and Asura."

Yuzhi didn't know how many ways there were to activate the "Power of All Things".

However, he was well aware that the fusion of the powers of Indra and Asura was a way to activate the "Power of All Things".

This kind of power is also a threshold that is difficult to overcome, and it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

However, the haori possesses such power, or rather, it possesses the conditions to condense the "power of all things in the universe".

It can be said that he had already opened the door to the Dao-Seeking Jade long ago; he possessed conditions that were difficult for ordinary people to match!

"However, this is only one part of the Truth-Seeking Ball; there is another part that is also quite difficult to make."

Yu Zhi murmured, "Besides the power of Yin-Yang fusion and the myriad phenomena of the universe, the Truth-Seeking Ball has another terrifying component."

That's the high-density chakra of the other five attributes!

These chakras may seem simple, but defining them as "high-density" is not a simple matter.

Yuri's chakra is very strong, especially as his bloodline continues to improve, his chakra has become so strong that it is outrageous.

But if we're talking about compressing chakra to a 'high density' suitable for Truth-Seeking Balls, he's probably lacking in everything except Fire Release and Lightning Release.

He was never a naturally gifted player; he was a player with cheat codes!

And that's the wonder of ascending the divine steps.

Yu Zhi was well aware that the Ascension to Godhood had three upgradeable stages, as this was the ability of the angel from his previous life, which he, as a player, still remembered.

But remembering is one thing; after these abilities came into this world, they unexpectedly underwent some 'adaptive' changes.

This 'adaptability' allows them to better adapt to everything in this world, which has led to some confusion about the effects of these abilities, as seen in the description of the haori.

Simply put, he himself didn't know what would become of him.

"However, it seems that the effect of the first stage of the [Ascension to Godhood], 'Blazing Sincerity,' is still linked to chakra."

Chakra, brought by the alien Kaguya Otsutsuki, has become the most reliable source of power in the ninja world, and its importance is self-evident.

Without chakra, it's practically impossible to move an inch in this world!

While Guy and Rock Lee's strength may seem to stem from their physical prowess, they also possess the ability to utilize chakra.

Moreover, Guy's chakra ability is not as bad as most people imagine; he's just not good at using chakra.

Even after Rock Lee activated the Eight Gates, his chakra strength was by no means weak!

Moreover, whether or not one possesses the talent to cultivate chakra is a key difference between a ninja and an ordinary person.

The effect of "Blazing Sincerity" is to work on chakra. It integrates and enhances the strength of Haori's own chakra, so that all of Haori's chakra reaches at least the same level!

This is also the key to why Yuri was able to condense the "Truth-Seeking Ball" and fully control it.

"What a wonderful and incredible experience!"

Yuzhi murmured something, and the Truth-Seeking Jewel in his hand suddenly changed with his will, transforming into a kunai in an instant.

In the next instant, it transformed into a long sword, and then, under Yuki's control, it became a semi-circular shield that completely protected Yuki and the light!

This ever-changing substance, which possesses the power to seemingly destroy everything, truly excited Yuzhi.

"However, the energy expenditure doesn't seem to be low either."

After briefly assessing the depletion of her chakra, Hagoromo raised an eyebrow slightly, but this was normal.

Normally, the consumption of Truth-Seeking Jewels is not significant, even if you use them to casually attack people. However, once they are continuously converted or used directly for attacks...

This involves the chakra of the haori, so such consumption is perfectly normal.

Just looking at the black ball in front of her, Yuzhi suddenly had an idea.

"I already possess the qualities of 'Extraordinary,' and I am, after all, a successor of 'Hyndra,' so..."

If he can condense more Seeking Truth Jade in the future, will he be able to unleash an "Energy Outburst"?

"If all the Truth-Seeking Balls were unleashed at once, the effect would probably be no less than that of the 'Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball,' right?"

Yuri touched his chin, and suddenly his gaze fell on the light beside him.

Syndra is a mature and elegant woman with black stockings, long legs, and a talent for playing with balls. While Haori can substitute for "playing with balls," Hikari already possesses the "long legs."

"Then, how about black stockings?"

Just as Haori was pondering, Hikari suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze warily falling on Haori beside her—

"That's incredible!"

"The Hokage is actually willing to give us something like this?"

"With these forces, we should be able to better defend against the Caged Bird, and with the added strength of the Dark Division, we're sure to succeed!"

"It seems the Hokage really intends to save me."

In a room of the Hyuga clan, all the Hyuga branch family ninjas who had attended the last meeting gathered once again.

It must be said that Hyuga Hizashi is quite good at selecting personnel; everyone in the police department is excellent and works hard to adapt to the intense competition within the police department.

In this act of becoming a "rebel," the people he chose, besides being powerful, also had another commendable quality.

That is, they truly hate the Zong family. Even after learning about the dangers of this operation, none of them leaked the information to anyone.

However, it would be somewhat impossible to say that they were not afraid. Even with the assistance of the secret service, they were facing a caged bird!

They had all been punished by caged birds to some extent when they were young, so they naturally understood how terrible it was.

That feeling of being on the verge of death was truly unforgettable for them!

They didn't understand at all why the Hokage attacked the Hyuga clan or why he helped them.

The fact that they could become Jonin or even elite Chunin already shows that they are all very intelligent, and at least they can understand some political issues.

Controlling the main family is tantamount to using the Caged Bird Seal to coerce the entire branch family, which is the most efficient and "cleanest" approach for Konoha.

Directly allowing them to split up and "turn their lives around" seems to completely contradict Konoha's personnel management logic.

But hope was right in front of them, and they were determined to try and seize it.

As for what will happen in the future, even though they are uneasy, they do not want to hesitate. Hesitation will lead to defeat, and opportunities can only be seized by themselves!

However, looking at the manuscripts in their hands, they suddenly realized that Konoha seemed to really want to help them.

"You've all seen the items, so I think you'll feel much more at ease now."

Hyuga Hizashi looked at everyone's gazes and waited until everyone quieted down before slowly speaking.

He was actually incredibly excited at that moment, because he knew very well what all of this meant!

Even though he didn't know what Konoha's purpose was, he knew just how terrifying the value of these techniques was.

The Hokage is truly generous.

Even though he felt that this Hokage was being too "Hokage-like," it didn't negate the fact that he was a good Hokage.

He also thought of something else: since this Hokage dared to bring out such an important technique, does that mean they already had a countermeasure?

Thinking about this, he had a profound and unfathomable idea about the current strength of Konoha.

"Yes, Mr. Hizashi."

All the Hyuga ninjas whispered among themselves, their hearts brimming with excitement.

"Then let's do our best. Besides, the Hokage has high expectations for us."

Hyuga Hizashi took a deep breath before speaking softly.

"Besides these things, the higher-ups in Konoha have also revealed that they are considering taking Neji as their disciple. I think you all understand what this means."

Did he accept Neji as his disciple?

Everyone present understood the meaning of those words and knew exactly what they meant!

The disciples of the Hokage generally carry political significance. Neji becoming a disciple, from a normal perspective, is a gesture of support to the powerful clans.

However, this also means that Hyuga has become a candidate for Hokage!

Even if the success rate is not high, even if we don't know how long we'll have to wait, it's still a kind of hope.

This Hokage is such a kind person!

Seeing the excited and expectant looks on everyone's faces, Hyuga Hizashi nodded slightly.

Although Hagoromo never spoke, and everything was said by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, he was well aware that what the Second Hokage said was simply the will of the Hokage!

This second Hokage is doing what the Hokage wanted to do but couldn't do himself.

If things went well, it was naturally thanks to the Hokage; if things went wrong, it was naturally because the Second Hokage had "taken matters into his own hands."

"Why does this Second Hokage look more and more like Danzo?"

Hyuga Hizashi thought to himself, but Hagoromo's shameless attitude had already proven one thing: he was definitely a qualified Hokage.

"However, everyone, our time is also limited."

Although he couldn't help but complain in his heart, he knew very well that now was not the time to dwell on these issues.

Moreover, everyone present was aware of these matters. Even if they had their own thoughts about the Fifth Hokage, they would never reveal a single word!

"We need to familiarize ourselves with the information on the reel as soon as possible before taking action, since we don't have much to hide."

Hyuga Hizashi's words made everyone stop, and after a moment of contemplation, they all nodded.

Some things are better done slowly than quickly, but others are exactly the opposite.

Compared to their current situation, it is indeed more appropriate to resolve the problem faster; the longer it drags on, the greater the chance of them being exposed.

The main family has always maintained extremely strict control over the branch families.

"Damn you..."

"The matter has been investigated and clarified. You now have only two choices: surrender or die. You don't have much time left."

In the capital of the Land of Fire, Kakashi, along with the Anbu and Shinnosuke Sarutobi, quietly watched the group of people lying on the ground in a forest.

These people were guard ninjas employed by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and even Kakashi had to admit that their strength was truly formidable.

But no matter how strong they are, they are nothing more than that to them!

As elite members of Konoha's Anbu, they face an unimaginable number of battles.

Especially someone like Kakashi, who not only possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan but also had White Zetsu cells injected into his body due to experiments.

His strength is far beyond what these people in front of him can compare to.

However, although he looked at these guys with a blank expression, he couldn't help but complain about something in his heart.

"You actually dared to collect the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

Although the pain that Nine-Tails brought to Konoha that night was not as great as in the original story, since Nine-Tails was intercepted by Haori and Hikaru, it did not cause any huge damage.

However, although the Nine-Tails was intercepted, Kakashi's teacher and Kushina suffered great damage.

Even for a long time afterward, Danzo, that "rogue ninja," kept using this incident to attack his teacher!

Although the final result wasn't bad, his best friend Haori became the Fifth Hokage, and even though his teacher stepped down, Haori made him Hokage's assistant. Now they live a happy life.

The problem is, nobody is really going to let this go!

Given how powerful the Nine-Tails is, the fact that someone would dare to collect its chakra makes it hard not to make some unfounded assumptions.

"And what's more, Yuzhi was right."

Although Haori initially intended to frame him, Kakashi was unsure how to evaluate the situation.

However, he was only an ANBU member, and he couldn't possibly refute orders from his superiors. Besides, defeating the Daimyo would benefit the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Therefore, he felt that if he was going to frame someone, so be it. Doing some dirty work for Konoha was simply part of the Anbu's job.

His teacher, Minato, had obviously thought of this as well, which is why he decisively agreed to hand over the Nine-Tails' chakra to him, but he didn't forget to give him some instructions.

"If it's true, then punish the culprits. If it's false, then try not to kill them. They are ninjas with dreams too."

Kakashi naturally wouldn't refuse his teacher's request, but what he never expected was that after a series of investigations by their ANBU...

To their astonishment, they discovered that what Yuzhi had predicted was actually true!

This made them feel incredible, and at the same time, they were determined not to let go of anyone they had any connection with.

Besides, everyone involved in the mission, including Kakashi, was truly impressed by the haori.

How terrifying is the Hokage, Yuzhi, to be able to guess and guess correctly?

"We know nothing about the Nine-Tails' chakra; we only want to protect the Daimyo!"

One of the ninjas who had been knocked to the ground looked extremely pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he slowly opened his mouth.

"And isn't Konoha going too far? So what if it's Nine-Tails chakra? What you're doing is targeting the Daimyo, the Daimyo!"

"Don't downplay the issue of the Nine-Tails' chakra and make it sound so simple."

Kakashi looked indifferently at the person in front of him, his Sharingan beginning to slowly rotate.

"And what about the daimyo? I know that for you, the daimyo is the only thing that matters, but for us..."

"The Hokage is the only true gem!"

"Your fate of failure was sealed long ago."

-

"Everyone, have you all seen the intelligence?"

In the Land of Earth, inside the Tsuchikage's office.

Onoki started a video conference for the Five Kage Summit as usual. Although they couldn't meet face-to-face, this method was more discreet and convenient.

After a period of deliberation following Onoki's initial proposal of collaboration, everyone eventually agreed.

For Yunyin, this matter had already been decided long ago. The reason they didn't agree immediately was because they were debating who was in charge of the "Five Shadows Alliance".

Although they, who have always longed to become the "Number One in the Ninja World," already know that they will not be able to challenge Konoha for the time being.

However, if they could become number one in this "Five Shadows Alliance", it would satisfy some of their small desires.

After all, in their eyes, the current "Five Shadows Alliance" is nothing but a bunch of worthless scoundrels!

The Hidden Mist Village is too far away to exert influence at the core of the ninja world. Moreover, they are being blocked by the Hidden Leaf Village and their attitude towards the Hidden Leaf Village is somewhat ambiguous.

Their village suffered enormous losses due to the annexation of the Hokage and Mizukage, so Konoha provided some assistance to Kirigakure.

A person like that, and a village with such an ambiguous relationship with the Hokage, could never become the leader.

Besides, if it weren't for the fact that they would inevitably turn against the Hokage in every major battle, Kumogakure wouldn't have planned to let them in!

And Sand Hidden.

Forget it, this village has no future.

As for the other small countries, they are even less worth mentioning. The only country that is somewhat troublesome is the Land of Rain, but whether Hanzo is dead or alive is still unknown!

The only thing that can influence them is Iwagakure, but they are confident that they can win over Iwagakure.

"Hmph, Konoha is really going too far!"

"They actually dared to defy public opinion and attack a daimyo."

"These shameless bastards!"

Upon hearing Onoki's words, the Kage of each village and the ninja leaders of the small country in the video all spoke out angrily, but their expressions were somewhat subtle.

Although Rasa was cursing Konoha, his eyes were unfocused, as if he was seriously considering something.

The situation was similar in other small countries, except for the Fourth Raikage, who had always had a good relationship with the Daimyo, who snorted coldly.

"Konoha has broken public order and good morals by doing this, and they have their own purpose in doing so. They are probably about to make some big move."

"That's right."

Onoki nodded, glancing at Rasa's screen with a hint of disdain before continuing.

"The Land of Fire is fertile and rich in resources; they have all the resources they can utilize."

Now they suddenly attacked the daimyo, claiming that a ninja under the daimyo's command stole the Nine-Tails' chakra with malicious intent.

However, they escorted the daimyo back to Konoha and put his son in charge of the affairs of the Land of Fire. This was clearly supporting a puppet!

Furthermore, according to reliable intelligence, the new daimyo of the Land of Fire has begun providing more funds to support Konoha, indicating that Konoha is likely about to make some major move!

Onoki's analysis silenced everyone present, but they weren't quite sure what Konoha was planning to do.

Especially Luo Sha, whose brows were now furrowed even more tightly.

Everyone knows that Sunagakure is short of money, and what outsiders don't know is that Sunagakure has also lost the One-Tailed Beast!

The worst part is that their secret vault was also looted. Combined with the One-Tailed Beast's rampage, they are starting to wonder if Konoha is really at fault.

Even though they have an alliance with Konoha, everyone knows that this so-called alliance is nothing but bullshit.

Any slight movement in Konoha would make Rasa feel tense.

He even suspected that Konoha was doing this to expand its funds and prepare for military buildup, intending to swallow him up.

"That's right, Konoha is probably going to make some big moves."

Thinking of this, Luo Sha nodded and said directly.

"The Tsuchikage said that Konoha is no longer the Konoha of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Fifth Hokage is a Hokage who grew up in war."

Most importantly, he's an Uchiha; no one can say for sure what he might do. We must be extremely careful.

"That's right, Uchiha Haori was a brutal Hokage, and also one who liked to interfere in other villages."

Although Master Yuan was apologizing in his heart, he still spoke aloud.

"He doesn't like to solve problems through diplomatic or political means; he prefers to take direct action!"

He forcibly entered Kirigakure despite our objections simply because he discovered traces of the Akatsuki organization. This is not how a Kage should behave.

Even if they offer us some compensation, how can the damage to our reputation be easily repaired?

The Mizukage's words made Onoki and the Fourth Raikage nod in agreement. In their perception, Haori seemed to prefer 'physical reasoning' to reasoning!

This attack on the daimyo seems to confirm their suspicions once again.

"I suggest that we make some necessary arrangements to guard against trouble and crisis from Konoha."

The Fourth Raikage thought for a moment, then spoke directly.

"I agree, this definitely needs to be prepared for."

Onoki did not object; he simply nodded in agreement.

"Even if Konoha doesn't make a move, they will be hesitant to act because of this. As long as we force them not to make a move, then this operation can be considered a success."

In addition, I suggest conducting joint military exercises, which would serve as a deterrent and also allow us to observe any gaps in our coordination.

Finally, if Konoha actually makes any move, this training unit can directly join the battle!

The idea that an exercise can turn into a war is perhaps a relatively novel topic in this world.

No one objected to this after hearing it; in fact, they all nodded in agreement.

The pressure from Konoha was truly indescribable, forcing them to make a choice.

In reality, smaller countries may not want to go to war with Konoha, but they have long been coerced by these larger countries and have no other choice.

Of course, there's another thing: the major powers that are pulling them in have given them way too much.

As everyone began discussing how many people to send and how to arrange things, Nagato, who was attending the meeting from the Land of Rain, revealed a disdainful look.

This group of people are really courting death!

"Perhaps we could remind Hagoromo to make some preparations."

Nagato thought to himself that he had accepted all of Haori's ideas and was willing to cooperate with them.

So he didn't really think there was anything wrong with being a double agent here.

After all, he saw no hope here, and while Yuzhi was just making empty promises, at least that guy had never lied to him.
