Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 218 Bloodline Network Condensation

Looking at the chakra that was constantly condensing in her hand, Yuzhi nodded slightly.

"Just as I thought, I never imagined I'd make such assumptions."

Looking at the constantly fluctuating chakra in her hand, Yuzhi couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.

To be honest, he himself wasn't quite sure what the Ten-Tails' chakra was like, because his understanding of the Ten-Tails came more from the original anime.

In the original work, the Ten-Tails' power was specifically manifested after it entered the Gedo Mazo.

Therefore, in Haori's view, the most crucial factor in creating the power of the Ten-Tails is actually the 'body'.

Moreover, Sasuke set a bad example for him, giving him a preconceived notion.

Now that he has the help of the Nine-Tails to absorb, gather, and fuse these chakras, he's too lazy to think about so many other things.

But Guang's performance just now gave him a wake-up call, making him realize that the situation seemed to be a little different from what he had thought!

"The chakra of the dragon veins, or perhaps the power of nature?"

But the moment Yuri saw the Dragon Vein Chakra intertwined and merged with the chakra of the Nine Whys, something immediately came to mind.

It seems that after Naruto and Kurama completed their chakra mode and encountered the 'Ten-Tails' which had been infused with chakra, Naruto even went out of his way to sense the power of the Ten-Tails.

His conclusion was that it was like a natural force—endless and boundless!

He further pointed out the power of nature, and everything he had done before combining it with light gave Yuzhi a great inspiration.

"Perhaps the key to the Ten-Tails' power is indeed its body, but the body's role may not be as important as I imagined."

I'm quite familiar with the Ten-Tails' body, Hagoromo; Nagato summoned it and fought it so many times.

What impressed him most about that thing, besides its incredible durability, seemed to be a very subtle characteristic that had always been there but hadn't made Yuzhi pay much attention to.

"Is it an affinity with the forces of nature?"

Yuzhi murmured something, then looked again at the chakra that had fused together in her hand.

The Ten-Tails was split into nine parts, and the chakra of each of the nine tailed beasts was already different, as were their chakra characteristics.

For example, the Four-Tails is good at Fire Release, but the Three-Tails is good at Water Release; they can be said to be mutually restraining.

Is there a force that can act as a glue, allowing them to reconnect with each other instead of constantly repelling each other?

"The Ten-Tails doesn't seem to have a bloodline limit, so there's probably only one way to bind it together: the power of nature!"

Using the power of nature as an adhesive was something Yuzhi had previously overlooked, but now that he has grasped the key, everything has become much simpler.

Now he hardly needs the Nine-Tails to do anything; he can easily gather all that chakra together.

After all, he himself possesses "Sage Mode," and he is the true "mastermind" who controls the Dragon Vein Chakra!

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Just as Yuri was pondering over the Ten-Tails' power that she had just condensed in her hand, Hikaru walked over and looked at Yuri curiously, asking her a question.

At this moment, Guang seemed to have a more stable aura; one could even say that she now appeared closer to nature.

Looking at her, one can always sense that she has a special and intimate feeling, but beneath this intimacy lies a noble and unique illusion.

She seemed somewhat aloof, so approachable and naturally incompatible, yet these two completely different qualities were combined in her.

It's unique and exceptionally attractive.

"I'm amazed by your unique talent, but I'm also wondering why I overlooked this issue."

Facing his own problem, Yuzhi wasn't embarrassed to admit it at all; he smiled generously and said...

"I always thought that the Ten-Tails' chakra was a fusion of the nine tailed beasts, and in fact, I did achieve that in 'Kami Tenshin'."

But after seeing what you did, I realized that while such cohesion is achievable, it's still lacking something.

With this scattered power sealed within Susanoo, it naturally wouldn't dissipate with the Nine-Tails watching over it, but it's hard to say what kind of power it could ultimately unleash.

However, through your own insights and practice, you have come up with a better method, which can even be said to be a true method for condensing the power of the Ten-Tails.

Such talent and ability are truly breathtaking.

Yuzhi wasn't joking; he had always believed that Hikaru's talent was among the strongest!

At least he himself, as a cheater, can still be caught up to, even with his help, which is enough to illustrate the point.

Some people may not achieve much even if you help them, while others can rise rapidly if you just provide them with the necessary conditions.

It just goes to show that talent is a truly unreasonable thing.

"here we go again."

Haori's words were heartfelt, but Hikari felt that something was off about them, so she gave a soft snort.

"You just have preconceived notions. Once you try it a few more times, you'll naturally find the reason."

Besides, I only discovered it by accident; who knew it was hidden so well?

In Hikaru's view, Haori's "talent" is the most unfathomable, because this guy always manages to turn the impossible into the possible.

Such people are the strongest and most terrifying, and now that someone like that is claiming to be powerful, it makes Guang somewhat uneasy.

However, Hikari felt somewhat proud, after all, being praised by someone like Haori was a form of recognition for her.

Although they've been married for a long time, life always needs some romance, and Yuzhi has always done a great job in that regard.

In particular, he was always very "thirsty".

"But speaking of which, we've basically finished off the Ten-Tails' power, so there should only be one left, right?"

Sitting down next to Yuzhi, she smiled as she looked at the chakra swirling around Yuzhi's hands, but soon she asked a question.

"Yes, that's right, there's only one left."

Yuzhi nodded, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the chakra vanished without a trace, returning to the world.

"Bloodline limit formation, this is our most important and final goal, and now we can slowly begin to make progress."

At this point, Yuzhi was gradually completing his plans, and now he really only had this last "big goal" left.

As time goes on, it won't be too late, especially since he can now truly focus all his attention on the final condensation of his bloodline limit.

After all, most of the other problems have been solved, and even the tailed beast chakra will have to wait for them to grow slowly.

"I never imagined we'd get this far."

Haori reached out and embraced Hikaru, and he spoke with a smile.

"I wonder what we'll become after we've completely mastered the Bloodline Limits."

"No matter what happens, all I know is that having you by my side is enough."

Hikari remained calm about the issue of the haori, and she was speaking from her heart.

For her, being with Yuri probably meant everything.

"Thank you, that's true for me too."

Hagoromo tightened his grip on Hikaru's hand, feeling the power constantly gathering within Susanoo. He knew their future would be extraordinary.

"So, you actually had a backup plan all along?"

"Don't make that pitiful face. Is it so hard for you to understand that I have a backup plan?"

Inside a cave in the Land of Waterfalls, Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed, looking indifferently at Obito. To be honest, he really wanted to reach out and strangle this guy.

This good-for-nothing guy has caused so much trouble that it really annoyed Madara to the extreme.

Although he knew that it was precisely because he had "discerning eyes" in choosing such an idiot that things were still somewhat on the right track.

It was because of this idiot that things didn't get to the point where they were in a terrible state.

But the thought that this was because of "his own choice" made Madara feel somewhat uneasy, even though he knew it was a good outcome.

"How could my judgment be so bad?"

To put it nicely, this was a lucky accident, but to be honest, he was just blind. Otherwise, why would he have chosen such a thing?

Having been resurrected by the Fire and Earth Reincarnation technique and spent so long in Konoha, he was well aware of just how many talented individuals had emerged within the Uchiha clan.

Not to mention top geniuses like Yuri, Hikaru, and Shisui, there's also Uchiha Itachi, who "betrayed his ancestors and forgot his lineage."

With so many talented people and so many excellent options, he ended up choosing the "worst one".

This left the proud and arrogant Uchiha Madara speechless with frustration. Although he had been restraining himself all these years, he couldn't help but think about that question now.

"What on earth made me so crazy to choose such a piece of trash?"

Looking at the indignant Obito, Madara remained expressionless but couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In the end, he could only attribute it to his old age and failing eyesight.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been fooled by this guy."

As he was thinking this, his gaze had already silently shifted to Black Zetsu, but he still tried his best to control his emotions before slowly speaking.

"As a decision-maker and planner, I cannot put all my eggs in one basket."

I have to consider all aspects of the problem. If everything goes well and you all perform well, then I will naturally wait patiently.

However, if you don't perform well enough, or if a crisis occurs, then my final contingency plan will be triggered.

As it turns out, the 'contingency plan' I left behind was quite effective; Uchiha Haori is proof of that.

"That's true."

Black Zetsu nodded silently, pretending that everything was going according to plan, but in reality, he was sweating profusely.

He had no idea that Madara Uchiha had such a trick up his sleeve, which made him feel a little scared and worried. Would something happen to him?

But when he noticed that Madara Uchiha wasn't really looking at him, and instead focused his attention on Obito, he couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

This is too dangerous! Madara Uchiha is really too dangerous and too troublesome!

Although he had always wanted to bring Madara Uchiha out, he made sure to do it through him to increase Madara's trust in him.

The fact that this guy was holding back like this, and that he had no idea about it at all, makes it easy to expose who he really is!

Having finally encountered such an outstanding Indra reincarnation, and with this Indra reincarnation even possessing the Rinnegan, he simply didn't want to give up.

Moreover, it's highly likely that Uchiha Haori has also awakened the Rinnegan, which further highlights Madara Uchiha's value!

"So, you never trusted me, never believed I could do all this?"

While Black Zetsu felt a pang of sympathy, Obito couldn't hold back any longer. He stared at Madara Uchiha and asked in a low voice.

"Then why are you still looking for me? What's the point of you finding me? Why don't you just handle all of this yourself?!"

Do you think finding a piece of trash like you is the biggest regret of my life?

Madara scoffed inwardly, but considering that he still needed Obito to use Rinne Tensei, he maintained a calm demeanor.

"I've already said, this is the final plan, and now, are you ready to deal with Uchiha Hagoromo?"

"I"

Obito was speechless after hearing these words, but he still couldn't quite accept it.

The reason he joined Madara Uchiha was because he gained Madara's trust. Kakashi and Rin forgot about him, and Konoha didn't care about him at all.

But Madara Uchiha needs me, needs me to revive him, to accomplish what Madara couldn't do, and to create a 'true ninja world'.

Now, this guy has gotten up on his own, which makes Obito feel betrayed. This is not what he wanted!

Even though he had been beaten so badly he wanted to wake up Madara Uchiha.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Now we should focus on something more important."

Madara Uchiha suppressed the urge to strangle the two people in front of him and spoke calmly.

"I now understand the situation in the ninja world. Uchiha Haori is the biggest problem, and dealing with him will not be easy, but it's not impossible."

"That's right, as long as Lord Madara is resurrected, everything will be fine."

Black Zetsu, being pragmatic, immediately chimed in, while Obito remained silent with his head down.

"That's right, I can be resurrected, but the most important thing right now is not my resurrection, but that we need to complete our mission as quickly as possible."

Uchiha Dian nodded, concealing the killing intent in his eyes, and calmly spoke.

"Obito, you are still important. Nagato's use of my eyes is no longer effective."

I haven't been resurrected yet, and we don't have the Ten-Tails yet, so the focus now is on the Ten-Tails. We still need to make use of Nagato and have him collect the power of the Tailed Beasts.

Once he finishes these things, he will be of no use anymore, but during this time you will still need to assist him, or rather, keep an eye on him!

The Rinnegan is the key to my power. Without these eyes, I would probably have a hard time dealing with Uchiha Haori. That guy is probably about to awaken the Rinnegan by now.

And only the Rinnegan can defeat it, Obito, your task remains arduous and important.

Madara spoke with a heavy heart, which made Black Zetsu frown, but he remained silent because he thought of a not-so-good possibility.

Obito's eyes lit up slightly. Although he had heard everything else, one sentence kept echoing in his mind: Only the Rinnegan can deal with the Rinnegan!

"Does this mean that once I obtain the Rinnegan and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, I can complete all these tasks and defeat Uchiha Haori?"

With this idea in mind, Obito was moved. It was also because of his continuous efforts that he saw a glimmer of hope again. He had to give it a try no matter what!

"I see."

Obito took a deep breath and nodded, suppressing his excitement.

"Although I'm very unhappy with what you did, I will continue to do my best for that better world."

It seems simple to look at Nagato, and even assisting him in seizing the tailed beast's chakra isn't difficult, considering that the other ninja villages are already preparing to besiege Konoha.

Once they set off, I think it will be an excellent opportunity to gather and seize the Tailed Beasts, after all, we are now their allies!

"Is that so? Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Spot nodded, but inwardly sneered. Obito was still so easy to deal with.

"Don't worry, I'll cause trouble this time."

Obito clenched his fist, and at that moment, the space around him distorted.

"Then I'll be leaving now. I need to prepare myself properly."

As he spoke, Obito's body twisted and he vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye. Madara and Black Zetsu watched indifferently, making no attempt to stop him.

He's gone.

After a long while, the white Zetsu, who was half black Zetsu, finally spoke. He looked at Madara and suddenly smiled.

"Lord Madara, welcome back. You have no idea who Obito is."

"That's enough, this guy is beyond saving."

Madara didn't want to hear a single word about Obito; he'd had enough of everything about the guy. However, his gaze was fixed on Black Zetsu.

"Tell me your plans for the future. He's still alive, so you must have some further plans, right?"

"I've found a suitable replacement. He's good enough now, and he can work with Obito this time."

Although Black Zetsu couldn't figure out what Madara was thinking because of his expressionless face, he was relieved to hear Madara's words.

This way of speaking proves that Ban doesn't seem to doubt himself too much, which is a good thing for him, at least he still has a chance to explain.

"Although Obito accomplished nothing and caused destruction all day long, he had decent abilities, which allowed him to accomplish many things."

However, he was indeed beyond saving, so he trained a new Uchiha who could better replace Obito in doing certain things.

Now that this kid has awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan and possesses Hashirama's cells, I think he can finally show his worth.

"I see, I understand."

Dianban nodded, though he was disdainful, he remained calm. He had no respect for someone like Uchiha Itachi who betrayed his ancestors.

Right now, we're just using them as a waste, letting them do something together, and then figuring out later whether they still have any value.

"But this guy has the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is a good thing for that brat Uchiha Sasuke."

Madara still has vivid memories of Sasuke and Naruto, especially Sasuke. After experiencing the "prophecy," he already knows about the connection between this guy and himself.

Recalling the beating he gave this guy when he was a child, and then looking back at how this kid had "turned the tables" on him in the "prophecy," he couldn't help but chuckle.

Now, giving this kid a kaleidoscope will allow his eyes to grow, which can be considered a kind of strength, making it easier for them to deal with future troubles!

Madara's gaze had long since ceased to be directed at these "small fry" in the ninja world. The ninja world's need for training was of little concern to him, because he had already completed his own "training."

He only focuses on the long term and the areas that need more attention!

"But do I need to remind you? There are some things that guy doesn't need to do."

Although Madara was preoccupied with other things, he still tilted his head and looked at Black Zetsu, who then smiled smugly.

"Don't worry, I won't let him ruin the plan. The way the adults talked to him was giving him hope and an opportunity."

He'll definitely be tempted to steal the Rinnegan, and that'll make things even more interesting!

"That's good"

He nodded, and smiled meaningfully.

"I really look forward to that day; after all, the world is so boring right now."

"Lord Madara, your wish will surely come true."

Black Zetsu nodded in agreement. The two exchanged a smile, but each of them carried their own thoughts within their smiles.

But one thing is for sure: the future will definitely not be boring.

Time passed quietly, and the ninja world, seemingly calm on the surface but actually turbulent beneath, continued to advance.

The calendar for Konoha's sixtieth year has slowly arrived on the stage of history.

For most people, Konoha's sixtieth anniversary is a memorable one, as it marks the sixtieth year that Konoha has entered amidst turmoil and upheaval.

Actually, the phrase "turbulent times" describes the period from the death of the First Hokage to the rise of the Fifth Hokage.

After all, since the Fifth Hokage took office, there hasn't been any large-scale war in the ninja world!

The great war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure ultimately came to be attributed to the Fourth Hokage's era. By that calculation, Hagoromo is the only Hokage whose reign was free of war.

This name isn't exactly good, but it's certainly not bad either, especially for those who love peace; it carries a beautiful meaning.

After all, the fact that there was no war in the ninja world was what they longed for most!

Similarly, this year is also memorable for Konoha's new batch of graduating students.

This year was particularly unusual compared to previous years, as there were a surprising number of heirs from prominent families among them.

"This year has been a good thing for the major clans, but a nightmare for ordinary ninjas!"

I wonder how many people couldn't help but complain when they saw the list of graduating ninjas. Although Konoha has developed very well in recent years and its resources are constantly increasing.

However, because the net spread by Konoha has become larger, the resources of the Jonin have been forced to be diverted, resulting in fewer Jonin leading the teams than expected.

The number of graduates today is truly dazzling.

"Hey, we're graduating tomorrow, Shikamaru, how do you think we'll be grouped up?"

The hustle and bustle outside could not break the tranquility inside the ninja academy. Naruto sat in his seat and looked curiously at Shikamaru next to him, asking a question.

Although Shikamaru is lazy and laid-back, his intelligence has been confirmed, and people often ask him for advice on anything.

"How would I know? Grouping is usually based on grades and performance, or there might be some special arrangements."

Shikamaru looked up, muttered "What a hassle" under his breath, and then began to explain.

"Just like the Fifth Hokage's disciple, Hyuga Neji, didn't he follow the grouping principle and get grouped with that senior named Li and Tenten?"

Neji ultimately went with Guy, and didn't receive any special treatment because he was a Hokage's disciple, at least that's how it seemed to outsiders.

If Neji is like this, then it's not surprising that they follow a relatively strict class assignment policy.

Upon hearing Shikamaru's words, everyone couldn't help but secretly calculate their scores and guess who they might be grouped with.

Grouping generally follows a 'from high to low' arrangement, with the best, average, and worst groups grouped together, which serves as a reference.

"However, it's not like there's no way to make this happen."

However, just as everyone was secretly calculating, Shikamaru spoke up again in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

Sasuke looked at Shikamaru with some confusion and asked him a question, while Naruto also looked curious.

"It's very simple."

Shikamaru remained lazy. He glanced around before lowering his voice.

"Actually, Konoha also follows some special combinations to form teams, such as me, Choji and Ino. If nothing unexpected happens, we should still be on the same team."

"Oh, that's wonderful!"

"Unlucky"

Choji, who was eating potato chips, was overjoyed when he heard Shikamaru's words. He loved being with Shikamaru, his childhood friend.

Ino, standing to the side, immediately darkened her face. Being with these two guys was practically a dead end.

"Since it will be done according to a special combination, it means that there are still some adjustments that can be made."

Shikamaru ignored Choji and Ino's reactions and continued speaking.

"Take the relationship between our parents, for example. My parents, Naruto, and Sasuke had a very good relationship."

Your father is the Hokage, and my father happens to be the Hokage's advisor, and we have a very good relationship.

If we mention this to the school, I think they'll be willing to grant our small request, given our parents' influence.

Shikamaru's words immediately widened the eyes of Choji and Ino, and even Naruto and Sasuke involuntarily opened their mouths wide.

It's alright, is this how you play?

Thinking of this, Naruto and Sasuke couldn't help but glance at each other, but the next moment they quickly pulled their heads back.

Choji, standing to the side, was stunned for a while before stuffing another handful of potato chips into his mouth and then mumbling indistinctly.

"Shikamaru, so this is what you meant by abusing power for personal gain, huh? So that's what it is."

"Tch, don't look at me like that. I was just using an analogy."

Shikamaru, staring intently at the Genshin Impact, found himself barely able to contain himself.

He was just giving an example, but it's being made to sound like he's planning something.

"Besides, I didn't plan to team up with Naruto and Sasuke. Although it would be easy to stay by their side because they would take the initiative to solve all the problems."

However, since they are both sons of the Hokage, their assigned teachers will likely be extraordinary. Just look at how Guy, a Jonin, trained Neji.

Neji seems to have become a negative example; no matter what you say, you can't avoid mentioning him. But when Naruto and Sasuke mention him, they can't help but shudder.

Neji is living a life that's anything but ordinary!

It is said that he would start preparing for his cultivation before dawn, and his training was basically done with weights. Every day he would practice until he could barely walk.

The thought of such a miserable life, and the fact that they probably couldn't escape it in the future, made Sasuke and Naruto turn pale in an instant.

"Seriously? Graduation is hell?"

"Oh no, Father might really do that. Should I talk to Mother and Father about it?"

Naruto and Sasuke couldn't help but mutter to themselves, feeling a little scared at the thought of that scene.

Hinata, who was sitting not far away, looked over with some curiosity, wondering what kind of teacher she would have.

"Could it be that he's like Neji, my cousin?"

Perhaps because he was "damaged" too much by the haori, Neji didn't become a self-destructive idiot with "fate on his mind" in this world.

Similarly, Neji and Hinata's relationship is not bad; in fact, they have a very good relationship.

Perhaps there were indeed some conflicts among the older generation, especially with the support of the Second Hokage, Neji's father, Hizashi, even becoming a "traitor".

However, the benefits he gained from being a "traitor" were obviously greater, and he did not make things difficult for his brother, Hiashi, so their relationship was relatively peaceful.

Furthermore, they adhere to the principle of "not passing on the conflicts of the older generation to the next generation." No matter how much they dislike each other, the two children have a good relationship.

There might be considerations related to Neji being the Hokage's disciple, but children probably won't think that much about it.

Therefore, when Hinata thinks about these problems, the first thing that comes to mind is Neji, and she is also aware of Neji's miserable state, which gives her a bit of a headache.

"The Hokage is so kind, why is he so cruel in this kind of situation?"

Hinata couldn't help but think that she had met with Haori quite a few times, after all, she had Neji to back her up.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then she prayed softly in her heart.

"Hokage-sama, please don't let us have a teacher who's too strict."

-

Just as Hinata was praying in her heart, Haori sat with Hikaru.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Are you in such a hurry?"

Hikaru couldn't help but frown as he looked at Haori, who gently shook her head.

"It's not that I'm in a rush, but I've already met the requirements, and my technique is basically complete."

Unfortunately, 'Shin Tensei' couldn't make a better prediction, so I think I'll have to try it myself."

Yuzhi spoke casually, but the information in his words was anything but ordinary!

The fact that even "God of Heaven" couldn't make a better prediction already demonstrates the seriousness of the situation.

However, this is normal, because what Yuzhi needs to do is not something else, but to complete the final step: to use the Oni-Garra Technique to integrate his own chakra and bloodline!

Although it has only been less than a year since he obtained the 'Ten-Tails Chakra'.

But with his strength at that level, fusing 'bloodline limits' has become much easier.

In particular, he has obtained the Ten-Tails' chakra, which is even more helpful for him to unravel the secret of the bloodline limit, making him feel like he has divine assistance!

Not only him, but also Hikaru, who also obtained the Ten-Tails' chakra, has now obtained the bloodline limit of almost all dominant attribute chakras.

So, Yuzhi naturally had to make a final attempt!

He wasn't really surprised that 'God Tianjin' couldn't make a better prediction.

While "Gods and Gods" are indeed powerful, their power is ultimately kaleidoscope-like, and what Haori is about to do can probably be considered "the only way out for all things in this world".

The ultimate bloodline limit is formed through the fusion of chakra!

Such a thing is certainly not something that the 'Kami Tianjin' with his kaleidoscope abilities could predict. Even if he could, the 'rules' probably wouldn't allow it.

Therefore, only Yuri himself could do it and try it out. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and believed that he could do it!

"Okay, stop making that face."

Seeing Hikaru's worried expression, Haori couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Didn't we already expect this to happen? Besides, you have to believe in my luck; I've always been lucky."

"I naturally trust you, but I still hope you can be careful enough."

Guang sighed slightly and spoke earnestly.

"At our level of strength, every bit of progress is extremely important, while any mistake could bring unpredictable dangers."

I hope you can think all this through, and especially remember that you are never alone.

"Of course I know that, which is why I want to try even more, because by doing so I'm also paving the way for our future."

Yuri maintained his smile, then with one hand he drew a wooden clone, which instantly appeared, and he also held Hikaru's hand and smiled.

"Let's go, it's time to set off."

"Let's go to the moon!"
