Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 217 The Power of the Ten-Tails! Black Zetsu: Impossible, how did you come back to life?

"Sir, do you mean..."

"That's not what I meant, it's up to you how you think about it, understand?"

Konoha, inside the underground laboratory.

Yuzhi looked at Kabuto, who was looking down and seemed a little worried, and for a moment he found it somewhat amusing.

Kabuto has grown up and is no longer the little guy he used to be, but as he has come of age, his attitude towards Haori has become even more respectful.

For him, Yuzhi was not just his superior, but also the Hokage of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

For him, she was the only guiding light in his heart, the person he would pursue for the rest of his life!

When they were children, it was Haori who rescued him and Dean Nonou from Danzo's clutches.

It was also thanks to Yuzhi that their orphanage had enough funds, and that the children there had stable jobs that everyone envied.

Although it's very curly—this was what Haori said. At first, Kabuto didn't quite understand, but gradually he also understood what curly meant.

But no matter how much they rolled up, it wasn't a big deal for them, because the haori gave them a goal and hope!

Kabuto felt there wasn't much he could do, so he had long ago vowed to devote all his energy to research that would benefit the haori.

He'd do anything for Hagoromo!

Now, when Yuri suddenly asked him if he wanted to experience the life of a "normal person," Kabuto instantly became a little nervous.

Does living a "normal" life mean leaving this place?

Does this mean that I am no longer of any value to Yuzhi?

This is something he absolutely does not want to face.

"Lord Hokage, I wish to stay here."

Hearing what Yuzhi said, Kabuto spoke up almost without hesitation.

"Serving adults is my dream, and isn't everything I do for Konoha?"

Moreover, the adults treat me very well; I have time off every week so I can go back to the police department to visit my friends.

I could also visit Director Nono at the orphanage. Besides, the experiments I'm doing are part of my interests, and I can't think of a reason to leave here.

"Is that so?"

Yuri was also a little nervous after hearing these words. He felt that Kabuto was treating him like Orochimaru from the original work.

Although Yuri felt that his brainwashing ability might be somewhat inferior to Orochimaru's, he was better at "drawing pie in the sky" and "feeding chicken soup" (i.e., offering empty promises and motivational platitudes).

However, since Kabuto is like this, there's not much for Yuori to say. It's not a big deal that he's willing to do this, and besides, such loyalty is a good thing for Yuori.

"In that case, when Onoki takes any action, Kabuto can act as the middleman."

Yuzhi thought to herself, "Although Kabuto is very strong and his research and development capabilities have been thoroughly tested, his greatest strength is his secrecy."

He rarely showed any signs of being out and about, and the people he knew were mostly the little ones from the orphanage.

Although quite a few people within the Uchiha clan recognize him, they generally don't gossip about him.

Such a secretive person, if he could do something at a crucial moment, it definitely wouldn't be a bad thing!

Hagoromo knew that Onoki and his group were planning to cause trouble during the Chunin Exams, which made him somewhat uneasy, since in the original story it was Orochimaru and Rasa who were causing trouble.

Unexpectedly, even with a different group of people and a different excuse, this event still happened in this world, which made Yuzhi sigh at the "inertia of history".

However, he had no intention of stopping it from happening, because this "battle" was truly necessary!

Peaceful times are something everyone longs for, but too much peace is never a good thing for the ninja world or for ninjas.

In the original work, Naruto and his friends' performance demonstrated just how poor their ninja skills were; compared to the people from Kirigakure next door, they were simply incomparable.

Because of Yuzhi, they will probably face even fewer battles in this timeline!

Putting everything else aside, that so-called "Land of Waves" mission is probably already a lost cause.

Haku is now in Konoha and has teamed up with Kimimaro. Zabuza has become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and is even a member of the Shadow Guard.

He had a wicked reason to defect so that he could help Gato pull off a big operation, even though the Land of Waves was already within Konoha's sphere of influence.

If they encounter a battle in the Land of Waves, they don't need to fight alone; they can simply find the Konoha ninja stationed there.

It can be said that Yuzhi's creation of the "Konoha Ring System" has already shown initial results, making their territory safer and reducing the number of battles.

"So their interference is a good opportunity for the little ones to experience the cruelty of war, and also to help them prepare for future battles."

Yuzhi has been waging a "cultural war of public opinion" and accumulating experience. Now he feels that everything is almost ready.

So what he needs now is an opportunity, an opportunity to directly start the 'Ninja World War'!

Although he could have easily taken the initiative, as a time traveler, he always believed in having a legitimate reason for his actions.

If it weren't so unbelievable, he would have liked to make it seem like "Konoha ninjas have disappeared in other ninja villages"!

Now that they've been forced to take action by Yuzhi, Yuzhi is naturally delighted, as he's been waiting for this for a long time.

"Alright, I understand your situation, and I respect your decision."

Yuzhi was thinking about the future, but on the surface he still smiled and said.

"However, I may have some special tasks assigned to you in the future, so I hope you can be prepared."

"Lord Hokage, I have been preparing all along."

Kabuto didn't know what the mission Yuri was talking about was, but he still nodded very seriously.

"That's good. I look forward to your future performance."

Yuzhi nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at a transparent glass, behind which was a huge training ground.

In the center of the training ground, Guangzheng sat cross-legged, her body constantly surrounded by various colored chakra.

A terrifying aura emanated from her, but she didn't react much and remained seated.

"Hokage-sama, Lady Horikoshi's health is excellent, so excellent it's unbelievable."

Dou had a good eye; he immediately glanced at the data being monitored on the surrounding screens and then quickly spoke.

"Yes, I know, she's doing very well, of course."

Yuzhi nodded slightly. There were few in the entire ninja world who could compare to Hikaru's physical abilities.

However, what she is doing now is the most troublesome, and also somewhat dangerous: autonomously condensing the Ten-Tails!

She needs to condense these nine types of chakra together, which is extremely difficult. She has been sitting here for almost a week.

"Honestly, it would be better to ask the Nine-Tailed Fox for help."

Yuzhi sighed inwardly, but he only thought about it and didn't say anything more.

Having her own pride and ideas, all Haori can do is offer her support.

However, this fusion was progressing far too slowly, which gave Yuzhi a headache.

"Um?"

However, just as Yuzhi was complaining in his heart, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking around, he saw that the chakra on Hikaru's body had suddenly undergone some changes!

Moreover, the chakra of her own Susanoo had begun to subtly stir, slowly covering her body.

Along with this chakra, Hagoromo also clearly sensed another kind of power!

"This is."

Yuzhi blinked. He realized that this chakra was so familiar because it belonged to the power of the Dragon Vein!

"Natural chakra?"

-

"Have the casualty statistics been released yet?"

"Yes, the basic statistics are complete. Next, we need you to send people over to help rebuild the village."

In the ninja world, inside the Kage Buildings of all the major ninja villages, everyone was watching the face of the Fourth Raikage in the video.

The Fourth Raikage still looks somewhat bruised and swollen, and his muscular body is covered in bruises.

His once white clothes were now covered in dust, showing that even now he was in a terrible state.

However, neither Onoki, Rasa, nor any of the Akatsuki members who connected via video call said anything wrong with the Fourth Raikage's current state.

Even though almost half a month has passed since the attack by Madara Uchiha, that battle is still deeply etched in the hearts of many people.

The massive meteorite falling from the sky was like a game of cat and mouse, and all of this was deeply etched in the minds of the participants.

Even those who didn't participate in this battle had at least been swept aside by Madara Uchiha, and they could never forget that terrifying power!

It's already a stroke of luck that the Fourth Raikage and his companions survived this time, especially since they witnessed Madara Uchiha's new power.

This is even more exciting!

"No problem, our Iwagakure will send troops over as soon as possible to help you complete the reconstruction."

Just as everyone was feeling sentimental, Onoki nodded and spoke.

"The destruction of the village is not a big deal. The most important thing is people. As long as people are alive, there is hope and everything can be started again, Raikage."

"I know, you don't need to comfort me like that."

The Fourth Raikage nodded with a dark expression, wanting to curse in his heart, "Since this didn't happen in your area, you can naturally make sarcastic remarks."

However, considering that he still needed these people's help, he didn't say much more.

"In addition to the troops that are working to rebuild, I also need a large number of medical ninjas. Although the number of deaths is not high, we were able to stop it in time."

However, the number of injured is very high, and we need to handle this matter properly.

"No problem. I've discussed it with Rasa, and I think the Land of Rain and Kirigakure shouldn't be a problem either."

Onoki nodded directly, glanced at the screen, and then continued speaking.

"Moreover, we have obtained more information from this battle, and we need to summarize this information for everyone so that we can be more confident in our future actions."

"No problem, let's begin."

Nagato nodded indifferently, his gaze fixed on the Akatsuki section of the screen, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

He did not participate in this operation, or more accurately, these people did not find him, although he did not care and had no intention of getting beaten up.

But the imposter actually ran over, which he found somewhat amusing, and he also wanted to see what these people were going to say.

"I'm listening."

Yuan Shi nodded more readily. Although he had long since given up on playing with these people, obtaining information was not a bad thing.

Watching this group of people go crazy gave him a sense of 'looking down' on them, which he found to be a unique kind of enjoyment.

"Luckily, the Hidden Mist is far away, otherwise it would probably be difficult to continue playing."

Kirigakure is quite far from the Ninja Continent, and Konoha is in between, so getting to Kirigakure is not an easy task.

Therefore, while Kirigakure was blatantly trying to improve relations with Konoha, they were also taking advantage of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

Of course, while they may act recklessly, they will still do some pretense, since there are spies within their own village as well.

But compared to the Land of Rain, it's much better. Their economy is developing very well now. Plus, he's already 'biased' towards the Hagoromo, so how could he possibly look down on these people?

"Although this information is about 'Uchiha Madara,' considering that they are all from the Uchiha clan, it should still be of some reference value in dealing with Uchiha Hagoromo."

Onoki had no idea what his "traitors" were thinking, so he simply said in a deep voice.

"Moreover, we will probably have to deal with 'Uchiha Madara' in the future, so this information is extremely valuable."

So far, we know that both Madara Uchiha and Hagoromo Uchiha have mastered the use of the Sharingan to an unparalleled degree.

Both their physical skills and illusion techniques are top-notch; none of us could defeat them individually.

"snort."

Although Onoki's words were true, and only about what was happening on the front lines, the Fourth Raikage still couldn't help but snort coldly.

Of course, he was also aware of his own limitations. Let alone facing them one by one, even if they all attacked him at once and he only used physical skills, he would probably be beaten up!

The Uchiha's taijutsu skills have long exceeded expectations.

"In addition, Madara Uchiha was extremely skilled in Wood Release and Susanoo, even..."

At this point, Onoki himself fell silent for a moment, but he quickly continued.

"He can summon a massive Wood Release Buddha that blots out the sky and reaches a height of over a thousand meters, and he can use it in conjunction with his Susanoo to fight!"

Whether it's me, the Raikage, the Sand Village, or the Kage of the Rain Country, we've all experienced that kind of despair; it's truly heartbreaking.

Although Onoki really didn't want to exaggerate "Uchiha Madara", he found himself exaggerating as he talked.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. When someone's strength is so great that it's breathtaking, even just telling the truth sounds like bragging.

Obito was also somewhat uneasy after hearing these words. Even though he had heard about it before, was the combination of "True Several Thousand Hands" and "Susanoo" really a power that a human could wield?

The Fourth Raikage and Rasa remained silent; they had almost been killed!

Even Nagato was like this; the only one who could remain calm was probably Master Yuan.

He had never experienced such despair. Even though he knew that Mei Terumi and the others had almost died, he knew that the so-called "Uchiha Madara" was actually Haori.

He believed that Yuzhi would control herself and not do anything reckless. Even if something unexpected happened, it would be painful for him, but not unacceptable.

After all, some sacrifices are worth making for a peaceful future.

"In addition to these powers, Madara Uchiha has also displayed a new power this time."

Onoki took a deep breath before speaking with utmost seriousness.

"He can summon a meteorite with ease, and such a meteorite is absolutely deadly and will drive everyone to despair!"

Ladies and gentlemen, I can say without hesitation that if such a meteorite were to appear on a large-scale military operation, it would absolutely cause morale to collapse instantly.

And once it crashes down, no one, regardless of who it is, will likely be reduced to ashes!

Onoki spoke harshly, but surprisingly no one objected to him. Even the proud Fourth Raikage remained unusually silent at this moment.

Not to mention Rasa, who was already stunned by the beating, and Obito was speechless at this point.

"Considering his overall abilities, this guy has almost no weaknesses. In comparison, Uchiha Haori might be a little weaker, but we still have to judge him according to this standard."

Onoki was also unhappy that others were being emboldened, but he knew that he needed to be realistic now.

"We need to come up with a solution, just like with the Susanoo combined with Wood Release before. We've come up with a corresponding solution."

The situation remains serious, but we must believe in ourselves and believe that we can find better ways to deal with it!

At this point, Onoki paused slightly before speaking firmly and slowly.

"Everyone, the future of the ninja world rests on our shoulders."

-

"That should be about right."

Just as Onoki was giving everyone a pep talk, in a cave in the Land of Waterfalls, Ryoma Aburame took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals.

So many years have passed since Danzo died, and all these years Ryoma Aburame has been doing one thing—reviving Danzo!

The Impure World Reincarnation technique may seem simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.

For those powerful individuals, they could probably perform this technique with just a glance.

Similarly, without considering the situation after resurrection, it's not impossible to familiarize yourself with the spell and then try it out.

However, Ryoma Aburame dared not. The person he wanted to revive was Danzo Shimura, whom he respected most and who was his only "sun." He would never joke about such a thing!

"It's better to be slower than to let Lord Danzo be resurrected and then be unable to do anything."

This is Ryoma Aburame's belief, and today he feels the time is ripe!

Over the years, Ryoma Aburame has never stopped researching the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and the Akatsuki organization to which he now belongs has provided him with a great deal of help.

The supply of various materials and the allocation of various resources were not lacking at all.

He was fully capable of conducting all sorts of experiments on the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and through these experiments, he gradually discovered the key to this art.

He also gained a clearer understanding of how this technique judges the strength of a resurrected person, which made him even more adept at it.

"Lord Danzo, it will be ready soon."

With these thoughts in mind, Aburame Ryoma quickly formed hand seals, and in an instant, the chakra within his body surged.

Before long, filthy paper filled the air and quickly wrapped around a bandit he had "experimentally modified"!

"what!"

The bandit let out a scream, but his scream stopped abruptly. He was completely wrapped in filthy paper, and slowly revealed Danzo's appearance.

Before long, the filth paper solidified completely, and Danzo's face in his prime was clearly visible!

"This is."

Almost instantly, Danzo opened his eyes. He looked around in confusion, but soon he saw the person in front of him.

"You are, Ryoma?"

"Lord Danzo!"

Ryoma Aburame knelt on one knee, his head buried deep in the ground.

"Finally, Lord Danzo has woken up!"

Listening to Aburame Ryoma's words, he sensed his own chakra and then looked down at his own physical condition.

Danzo made a quick judgment—he was now an impure resurrected!

He never resisted the Impure World Reincarnation technique; in fact, even when he knew he was going to die, his first thought was to be revived through it.

After all, he had no worldly desires; all he wanted was to become Hokage, and he craved absolute control over Konoha!

Therefore, he never cared about what his condition was.

This time, however, he frowned slightly upon waking up because he had discovered something.

"Where are my Sharingan? Where is my Wood Release?"

Feeling as if some kind of power was missing from his body, Danzo felt somewhat uneasy, and this emotion also dampened his excitement upon waking up.

Without power, what's the point of playing this game?

However, he quickly shook his head. Although he no longer possessed the power of the Senju and Uchiha clans, he could sense that his body's strength was not weak.

And through his previous observations, he realized that he seemed to be at his peak, that is, in his prime.

With this discovery, Danzo suppressed his displeasure somewhat; his prime years were definitely no less than anyone else's!

"Moreover, the advantage of Impure World Reincarnation is that it can be constantly modified. Now that I have come back to life, I can keep trying to find ways to improve my own strength."

Danzo snorted inwardly, feeling the seemingly infinite chakra, and finally turned his gaze to Aburame Ryoma, who was bowing his head respectfully.

"Well done, you didn't disappoint me."

"Thank you, sir."

Danzo's words were plain, but to Aburame Ryoma, they were like the highest praise.

Danzo's brainwashing ability was brutal, but its effects were outstanding!

"Tell me, what's the current situation in the ninja world?"

Although Danzo had only recently been resurrected, as someone who cared deeply about the ninja world, his first priority was naturally to understand the current situation.

Moreover, having been the leader of the organization for so many years, he would be very uneasy if he didn't have a deep understanding of the current situation.

"And what about Konoha? What's the current state of Konoha?"

Although Danzo really wanted to ask if Konoha had collapsed yet, he thought it over and decided not to say it.

In his view, Konoha under the leadership of Uchiha Haori was hopeless. Only when Konoha showed signs of decline would he have a chance!

However, Danzo's expression changed slightly when Ryoma Aburame began to recount everything about the ninja world.

At this time, Konoha seemed to be in a period of great strength, whether in terms of economy, construction in various aspects, or even influence, it was at an unparalleled stage.

The countries surrounding Konoha either obediently follow Konoha or are suffocated by its oppression.

Whether you are a large country or a small country, it's the same!

"Damn it, has Konoha traveled back more than fifty years?"

Upon hearing Aburame Ryoma's description, Danzo felt somewhat uneasy.

Back when the First Hokage was still alive, their oppression of the countries surrounding Konoha was nothing more than this.

Everyone must be careful when dealing with Konoha, and everyone must act according to Konoha's wishes!

The scene of "full of life and all things flourishing" is still vivid in his mind, and Danzo has always longed to restore it all.

Now everything has truly been restored, but none of it has anything to do with him. How can Danzo keep his composure?

What made Danzo even more uneasy was that the one who orchestrated all of this was none other than Uchiha Haori, the very person who had killed him and stolen the position of Hokage of Konoha.

"Doesn't this mean that Madara Uchiha became Hokage, and did a really good job?"

The Heavenly Dipper has been reversed!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, you've ruined Konoha!

Thinking of this, Danzo really wanted to go back to Konoha to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, and also kill Haori Uchiha.

However, he remained relatively calm, knowing that his Edo Tensei would likely be of little use against Uchiha Haori.

He needs to think carefully and figure out what he can do to save this tragic situation!

"Also, Lord Danzo, now all the major ninja villages in the ninja world, except for Konoha, have united together."

Just as Danzo was pondering, Aburame Ryoma's voice rang out again, and this sentence made Danzo pause for a moment.

"Join forces? To take down Konoha?"

"That's right, Konoha is too powerful right now, and everyone is worried about its future actions, therefore..."

Aburame Ryoma appeared cautious, and Danzo shook his head dismissively at these words.

"Hmph, even if Konoha could really sweep through all the villages, with Hiruzen Sarutobi around, they... hmm?"

Danzo suddenly stopped speaking and then fell into deep thought.

A united ninja world?

By attacking Konoha?

Doesn't this mean that Uchiha Haori did a bad job and angered the entire ninja world?

If we can grasp this point, then my opportunity will come!

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes lit up slightly; he felt he had seen an opportunity!

"If I make a deal with these allied forces and get them to help me overturn Uchiha Hagoromo's order, then..."

Danzo thought to himself, if the deal is done and the rule of Uchiha Haori is overthrown, then his opportunity will come!

"If these allied forces are not strong enough, then I can decisively defect and secretly provide intelligence to those in Konoha who are at odds with Uchiha Haori."

After the Allied Forces are defeated, I can use these people to launch an offensive. It is because of Uchiha Haori's brutal rule that Konoha has been plunged into war!

In that case, then...

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes lit up. He seemed to have truly seen hope, the hope of becoming Hokage.

Chaos is a ladder to ascent; for Danzo now, this saying couldn't be more fitting.

"Hmph, all he knows is spouting platitudes!"

Just as Danzo was rising from the Pure Land, Obito snorted disdainfully in a cave in the Land of Waterfalls.

Onoki's words left him speechless. What did he mean by the ninja world relying on them? It was just self-pity and self-comfort.

If they weren't worried about being torn to pieces by Uchiha Hagoromo, would they have teamed up? Would they have even teamed up?

No, that's absolutely impossible!

These villages did this simply to protect themselves, and also to have a chance to divide up Konoha in the future.

In the ninja world, especially given the extremely unequal distribution of resources, there has never been any concept of "working together".

Some people are simply "either sitting at the table, or on the table, or on the menu," and no one can escape this fate!

"Obito, you need to be careful. Madara Uchiha obviously also possesses the Rinnegan, and Hagoromo Uchiha probably does too."

Black Zetsu had been listening to the meeting from the sidelines, and he was unmoved by Onoki's "chicken soup" rhetoric.

Of course, he treated Obito the same way, except that Obito was still their "official" boss, so it was necessary to give him a reminder.

"I know."

Obito nodded, and soon a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.

"Damn it, it's one thing for Uchiha Madara to have such eyes in this world, it's not surprising that he has such power in another world."

But why would such power appear in Uchiha Hagoromo's hands? This guy is clearly just a thief!

Ha, what did I steal from you?

Did he steal your wife, or your future?

If I gave you all of this, could you handle it? Could you control it?

Black Zetsu thought to himself with disdain that he was already immune to Obito's self-pity and even found it somewhat amusing.

If he hadn't been mindful of Obito's feelings, he probably would have actually laughed.

"If only I had the Rinnegan."

Obito murmured something under his breath, his eyes gleaming as he thought of Nagato.

His action made Black Zetsu raise an eyebrow, but just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out.

"If you had the Rinnegan, what would you do?"

"Um?"

The appearance of this voice stunned Obito and Black Zetsu. They turned their heads to look, and the next moment they both froze.

Almost instantly, they felt a vast aura envelop them. The seemingly calm yet abyss-like power terrified them!

When they saw who it was, their faces turned fierce, especially Hei Jue, who was terrified at that moment.

"Impossible! How is this possible? How did he come back to life?!"

Meanwhile, in Konoha, Yuri held up one hand, and a strange power swirled around it.

The breath of nature seems endless, full of vitality yet also representing the power of death, which is so moving!

Looking at the chakra in his hand, Yuzhi remained silent for a moment before shaking his head with a light laugh.

"So, this is the true power of the Ten-Tails."
