Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 221 The Beginning of the War

Even with her good composure, Yuzhi was momentarily stunned by the person who approached her.

Almost instantly, he recognized who the person in front of him was, but it was precisely because he recognized him that he couldn't hold back his emotions.

Wasn't this person sealed away? Why is she appearing in my consciousness?

Also, did she lock herself in, preventing herself from leaving?

A series of messages flashed through Yuzhi's mind, and Princess Kaguya had already gracefully landed in front of Yuzhi.

"It seems you know me, but that's not surprising, given the strong aura of Indra around you."

Princess Kaguya looked at Haori indifferently, her voice so cold it seemed devoid of any emotion.

"Although you are very different from the one I remember, you are indeed no different from Indra. Is it because you have reincarnated too many times?"

Upon hearing Kaguya-hime's words, Hagoromo didn't dare to breathe loudly; the pressure emanating from this woman was truly overwhelming!

Just by standing there, Yuki could feel an overwhelming force impacting her.

Of course, Yuri knew that the moon was Kaguya-hime's "Promised Land," and that this woman had been sealed in this place for thousands of years.

But the question is, how did she get out?

Where is Hagoromo Otsutsuki?

Your mother has come back to life, why aren't you rising from the dead?

"I really have to thank you. If you hadn't opened a passage, it would have been very difficult for me to come out and take a look."

Just as Yuzhi was roaring in her heart, Princess Kaguya suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky, where the dazzling sun was still radiating its scorching light.

Her words made Yuzhi instantly understand something, which made Yuzhi's face turn somewhat bitter.

"To enter my world of will through the channel through which I transport chakra?"

"Chakra is mine, my will is boundless, and my power is inexhaustible."

Princess Kaguya maintained her indifferent demeanor, raising her head to look up at the sky and speaking detachedly.

"Of course, it wasn't easy to get out. Your chakra has been raised to the same level as ours. If it weren't for such resonance, I would have had a hard time doing all this."

"So, what do you mean by keeping me here? Or more precisely, what do you want to do?"

Yuu couldn't understand what Kaguya's purpose was. He looked at Kaguya with a somewhat unpleasant expression, feeling really annoyed at being targeted like this for no reason.

Besides that, he was even more curious about his current situation.

Kaguya's words, "I didn't ask you to leave," truly terrified Yuu. After considering their respective positions, he was genuinely worried that this woman might go insane.

"Don't worry, I can't lock you up for long. Right now, it's just my consciousness merging with my chakra to enter this place."

Princess Kaguya seemed to have discerned some of Hagoromo's thoughts, and her cool voice rang out again.

"I came to see you mainly because I'm very curious about you, and I also want to know more about my son's plans."

"."

plan?

What plan?

Yuzhi stared blankly at the woman in front of him, but he quickly realized that she had heard his nonsense.

Thinking about this, Yuzhi was speechless. What kind of mess is this?

"My ideas are completely different from those of Hagoromo and Hamura. They grew up alongside humans and were influenced by their way of thinking from a young age."

Seeing that Haori remained silent, Princess Kaguya continued speaking.

"I didn't care at first because it was meaningless to me, but I overlooked their cognitive abilities."

Originally, I thought they were both idiots. Following my plan for defense and deployment would have been a better way to prevent those outside Otsutsuki from attacking, but they ruined everything.

But now, I seem to see the Ōtsutsuki clan in them, even if the methods are different, they seem to be somewhat effective.

At least you did what we hoped for, so I want to know more!

Upon hearing Princess Kaguya's monologue, Hagoromo was momentarily at a loss for words.

Sure enough, she heard his nonsense, or rather, Princess Kaguya could actually sense many things on the moon!

As the progenitor of chakra, even if her combat abilities were shockingly weak, that's a common flaw among Otsutsuki. Her abilities are still undeniable.

Besides, this is the moon, and she probably thinks about leaving the seal all the time, otherwise Black Zetsu wouldn't exist.

Over the years, it's unknown whether she has achieved any results, but she has probably managed to adapt to the environment and be aware of the outside world.

At the very least, this is probably a backdoor deliberately left by the Sage of Six Paths, since sealing it for so long would be too tragic for a life.

"Perhaps it was through this back door that they saw Indra and Asura."

Yuzhi felt a bit annoyed, but he really didn't know how to answer Kaguya's question. After hesitating for a long time, he finally blurted out a sentence.

"Actually, I don't know either. If you could sense everything, then you should know that many things are just my guesses."

"guess?"

Princess Kaguya shook her head dismissively, her voice beginning to grow cold.

"When I first met you, you already possessed a weakened state of almost all of my power. If things continue like this, it won't be a problem for you to use 'All-Killing Ash Bones'."

Moreover, your bloodline and aura are growing at an incredibly fast pace. Your progress may seem like you're catching up to Yu Yi, but in essence, you're constantly getting closer to me.

"If no one helped you, if no one told you about me, could you have done all this?"

"."

I've read the original book, so I really know.

"There's probably a Feathered Robe behind you; you're the one carrying out his mission."

Princess Kaguya's expression remained cold as she continued speaking indifferently.

"Perhaps he was guiding you in secret, but you should at least understand your own mission."

I want to ask you, what exactly are your plans to do about those Otsutsuki, or rather, what are Hagoromo's thoughts?

Princess Kaguya is clearly a stubborn person; once she has made up her mind, there is no way to change it.

Yuzhi was also helpless at this point. Although Princess Kaguya had said that she couldn't lock him down for too long, this was not a good thing for Yuzhi either.

Looking at this stubborn woman in front of her, Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After a moment's thought, he slowly spoke.

"All I can tell you is some of my guesses, because there are many things I really don't know, and I've always acted based on my deductions."

"That's also acceptable."

Princess Kaguya nodded; all she wanted to know now was what her son thought.

"If what you say is true, then I can reward you with something."

-

"Nagato, the time is getting closer and closer."

In a spacious office in the Land of Rain.

Silver moonlight spilled across the earth, and Konan looked at Nagato beside her and spoke softly.

Nagato paused for a moment upon hearing the pattering rain outside, and finally let out a soft sigh.

"I know that the time is drawing closer, and the ninja world is likely to descend into chaos once again."

Time marches on, and in the blink of an eye, the Chunin Exams are fast approaching. Konoha, as promised, has sent out the invitations a while ahead of schedule.

This time, Konoha made a big move, inviting all the major ninja villages, as well as smaller countries with ninja organizations.

Even Orochimaru received an invitation!

Perhaps because they had ulterior motives, or perhaps because Konoha's influence was so great, they confirmed they would go to almost every place they were invited to.

Nagato would naturally go; as the de facto ruler of the Land of Rain, he certainly didn't want to miss such a grand occasion.

Besides, he hadn't seen Yahiko and Gaara for a long time. Although the two of them had kept in touch since they went to Konoha.

However, it was difficult to ease his longing through video calls and letters.

Yahiko was his best friend, and Gaara was also his acknowledged disciple. Now, even though they were safe in Konoha, they had still left the Land of Rain.

Moreover, a crisis was about to erupt, and even if it wasn't a big deal for Konoha, he still wanted to do something.

Whether he's an enemy or protecting Gaara and Yahiko, there's something he needs to do.

"Chaos is normal. After all, you know what the Fifth Hokage is thinking. Didn't we already decide to cooperate with them?"

Xiao Nan didn't think there was anything wrong with it; she had been waiting for it for a long time.

"But you, don't forget the Fifth Hokage reminded you, and our partner, the 'mysterious man,' also wrote a letter."

You must be careful; that imposter might do something to you. You must be vigilant.

"Don't worry, I know."

Nagato nodded. He wasn't surprised by this, because he had long seen greed in Obito's eyes. This guy had always longed for the Rinnegan!

This time, the wooden clone of the haori used its own identity, as well as the identity of "Obito," to warn Nagato that the real Obito was probably about to make a move.

However, Nagato was not flustered. He was not worried about what Obito would do. In fact, he knew what Obito might do!

Whether using her own identity or that of "Obito," Yuzhi told him that Obito's target this time might be the Rinnegan.

It also subtly hinted to him that once Obito obtained those eyes, he would probably be close to death, which made Nagato start thinking about something.

This has also led Nagato to ponder some things recently—

"Should we take this opportunity to get rid of these eyes?"

He knew perfectly well that the Rinnegan wasn't his, so from the moment he learned this secret, his only use of the Rinnegan was to enhance his own bloodline, as Yuri had suggested.

After all, he had obtained a lot of 'white solvent', and he had already made considerable progress. Giving up the Rinnegan was not an unacceptable thing for him!

"Let's see how it goes then, and make a decision later."

Nagato muttered to himself, then looked up and suddenly laughed.

"Don't worry, I know what he's thinking. I guessed what he was planning a long time ago."

However, our attention should be focused on Konoha right now. I heard from Yahiko that Gaara's teacher is Jiraiya.

"Yes, that's right."

Konan was still worried about Nagato, but seeing that Nagato didn't want to say anything more and was too lazy to bring it up again, she trusted Nagato's judgment.

Moreover, Gaara's actions were indeed unexpected, which made her somewhat amused.

"I never imagined that Jiraiya's legacy would reach Gaara. That's truly..."

Jiraiya was a truly special person to them. Even if their thoughts were conflicted, they could not deny the influence Jiraiya had on them.

Now Jiraiya has turned around and started teaching his disciples again. Perhaps this can be considered a cycle?

"Um?"

Just as the two were chatting, they suddenly stopped, and the next moment they both stood up and went to the window, looking up at the sky.

At that moment, the moon in the sky appeared strangely eerie.

"Time's almost up. How's Obito's preparation going? And how's that kid you've got your eye on?"

Inside a cave in the Land of Waterfalls, Madara Uchiha sat reclining on a stone seat, one hand supporting his head, his gaze both domineering and cold.

"Don't worry, everything is ready."

Black Zetsu smiled and nodded directly.

"It's not surprising that Nagato will go to Konoha. Obito and Itachi Uchiha will assist him in attacking Konoha and help him retreat."

This way, he can gain some trust, at least a little bit at this stage, which will allow Obito to take action more effectively.

As for Konoha, Lord Madara, should we intensify our efforts and inflict even greater losses on Konoha?

Black Zetsu is very relaxed now. After spending this time together, he realized that Madara Uchiha doesn't seem to have noticed his problem at all.

Although it's unclear whether this guy genuinely didn't notice or simply didn't care, it's not a bad thing for him.

At least the firepower wasn't on his side, and Madara would discuss many things with him, which made Black Zetsu understand what he should do.

Madara Uchiha's current goal is resurrection. As long as I cooperate with him, even if there are any problems, I can at least be safe for the time being.

As for what comes next, he only needs to make some preparations.

"As long as I keep fighting, he won't have as much time to watch me, and I can still achieve my goal!"

Black Zetsu silently wondered to himself if he was being too "cautious".

However, when doing something like this, he has to be extremely careful, because any mistake could ruin all his efforts!

He was now feeling grateful to Uchiha Haori; if it weren't for this guy, he probably would have been preparing to run away.

"Only this guy can completely capture Madara Uchiha's attention."

Black Zetsu was filled with emotion, while Madara Uchiha snorted inwardly and shook his head.

"Obito Uchiha has a strong ability to protect himself, but didn't you tell me that Uchiha Haori has the ability to break through space?"

If I anger him, my Rinnegan will fall into his hands. However, if you give this crucial information to other villages…

"That's what I think too, Lord Madara."

Black Zetsu immediately smiled and nodded. Letting other villages provoke Konoha and focusing attention on the other side is definitely not a bad thing!

Whether other villages are alive or dead is none of their concern. The key to their operation this time is to locate the Jinchuriki, capture the Tailed Beasts, and incidentally attack Konoha.

As for the rest, well, people from other villages can die however they want!

"Let's do it that way then, and we should also set off."

Madara Uchiha, still propping his head up, spoke indifferently.

"Konoha invited us, so we can't be late."

"Don't worry, we will act together with the people of the Rain Country."

Black Zetsu nodded; he had already planned this.

"And they will be there in the next few days."

Before he could finish speaking, Black Zetsu suddenly froze, and so did Madara Uchiha, who was standing next to him.

The two of them quickly got up and ran outside the cave.

Silver moonlight spilled across the earth, and when they looked up, they saw that the moonlight in the sky was so bright, yet so eerie.

Moreover, in the bright moonlight, there was a unique chakra constantly pulsating.

Black Zetsu stared blankly at the sky; he recognized and was familiar with this chakra.

Because this power comes from my own mother!

"It's definitely Mother, but what exactly happened?"

"What on earth happened?"

-

Time passed slowly. In Konoha Village, within the Uchiha clan's territory...

After finishing his training for the day, Sasuke went to Haori's house.

The class assignments have been completed, and Sasuke has learned a lot under Jiraiya's guidance, and has also completed many missions with Naruto and Sasuke.

This period was truly tough for Sasuke, but he also learned a great deal during that time.

"Jiraiya-sensei is indeed a good teacher."

Sasuke couldn't help but think to himself, Jiraiya truly deserves to be one of the Legendary Sannin. He is not only incredibly strong but also very good at educating people.

Even though Sasuke and Naruto are not on the same path, Gaara, that "outsider," is more skilled at using bloodline limits.

Yet Jiraiya was still able to arrange things for them in an orderly manner and teach them according to their individual aptitudes, allowing them to learn a great deal.

"However, this puts even more pressure on us."

Sitting in Yuri's house, Sasuke couldn't help but smile bitterly as he waited for his father to arrive.

The fact that they were the two top teams in their grade across the entire school, and that their team leader was Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, made the attention their team received unimaginable.

Because if even one of them performs poorly, they might really be in trouble.

"Furthermore, Father seems to be very busy lately, and I haven't been able to see him despite trying."

Sasuke couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself. He had wanted to see Haori for a while, but he couldn't see her at all.

On one hand, Yuki is indeed busy. It is said that Konoha is going to hold some Chunin Exams, and it is a huge one that is being carried out by all the villages together, which is bound to take up a lot of time.

On the other hand, after becoming a ninja, Sasuke had less free time. He not only had to train with Jiraiya but also had to go out on missions.

As the group with the highest popularity, everyone is watching them. If they don't work hard, they'll really embarrass themselves.

In terms of carrying out missions, even Jiraiya was considerate of them and did not take them to places that were too far away. At most, they would return after one night.

But this kind of life is really incomparable to that of school, and he finally understood why Yuzhi had always kept them at school.

"For relationships, school is the best place."

Sasuke couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he quickly stopped thinking about it because he heard footsteps.

Before long, Sasuke saw Haori and Hikari walk over together. Looking at his father and his other mother, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"They never seem to have changed at all."

Looking at Haori and Hikari, Sasuke couldn't help but mutter to himself, because the two of them looked exactly the same as when he first met them as a child.

even

They seem to be getting younger and younger?

"Sasuke, it's been a long time. I've heard you guys have been doing quite well lately."

Just as Sasuke was pondering, Haori walked up to him with a smile and then sat down with Hikari.

"Not bad, you've got a bit of a ninja vibe now, you look much better than when you were a kid."

I remember you, Naruto, and Neji all got... beaten up by that guy. Thinking about it now, it must have been pretty bad."

"Dear Father."

Sasuke gave an awkward laugh. He hadn't forgotten the time he was brutally beaten up. Even though they were from the same clan, he wanted to get his revenge.

However, now was not the time to discuss these things, and he quickly became serious.

"Father, I've come this time because I have many questions I'd like to ask you, so..."

"I know you have a lot of questions. Do you have any questions about the team assignments?"

Yuri stroked his chin and suddenly asked with amusement, a question that made Sasuke scratch his head awkwardly.

"A little bit, but I think I can understand."

"Oh?"

Hagoromo looked curious, while Sasuke smiled and said...

"My father often said that pressure is the source of motivation. My father faced immense pressure on the battlefield, and so did my mother."

It was this kind of pressure that prompted my father and mother to grow to this point.

Compared to my father and mother, my pressure is nothing, but it's helping me grow.

Sasuke spoke with great confidence, and Hagoromo couldn't help but nod in agreement, while Hikaru rolled his eyes.

She hadn't experienced much of the battles in the ninja world, and in her opinion, Sasuke's class assignment was simply because Hagoromo was bored and they created the "Three Children of Kage".

There aren't that many here and there.

"That's right, pressure is a driving force."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi couldn't help but nod, acknowledging Sasuke's words.

Actually, he was making excuses for himself, after all, putting these three together was really just a perverse sense of humor.

After all, Sasuke and Naruto were together in the original work, and Gaara also had a good relationship with them, so putting them together would probably create a good "chemistry".

As for Sakura, she is perhaps very important in the original work.

After all, in the original work, there were nine graduates who were given special training, eight of whom were from ninja clans, and the only one from an ordinary background was Sakura Haruno.

Although there is a theory that she is actually a descendant of the Senju clan, otherwise Tsunade would not have treated her so specially.

But at least in Yuzhi's case, after a background check, she really didn't have anything special about her.

Furthermore, her relationship with Sasuke and Naruto is not as complicated as it is in the original work.

In the original work, Naruto likes her, while she likes Sasuke. She is caught in the middle and can build a special bridge of communication between Naruto and Sasuke.

The Third Hokage did not want to abandon the Uchiha bloodline, but he also wanted Sasuke to form a bond with Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, so that the remaining Uchiha could stay in Konoha for a long time.

Therefore, Sakura Haruno, who comes from an ordinary background and seems most likely to be squeezed out, is actually the one least likely to be replaced.

As for now, sorry, Sakura really doesn't deserve it.

"Father, actually, I came here this time to discuss the Chunin Exams."

Sasuke watched as Haori pondered, and he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"The Chunin Exams? What's wrong with these exams?"

Yuri tilted his head and asked curiously, while Sasuke answered seriously.

"Father, I want to participate in this Chunin Exams!"

"Oh?"

Yuzhi blinked, wondering why Sasuke had come to him to talk about this.

Almost all graduates will participate in this Chunin Exams, so how could Sasuke possibly escape?

"Although I've only just graduated, as the son of the Hokage, I can't let my father down!"

Sasuke had no idea what Haori was thinking, and he continued speaking.

"I have grown a lot by learning from Jiraiya-sama, and I have also carried out enough missions."

Although I understand that I may not be good enough, I would not forgive myself if I did not dare to move forward in the face of challenges.

Moreover, as I've said before, my father faced war head-on, so compared to that, I don't have nearly enough pressure right now.

I need to take this a step further, I need to work even harder, that's why I want to participate in this Chunin Exams!

Sasuke spoke with great passion, but Haori found it somewhat amusing. Looking at the uneasy Sasuke, Haori chuckled and then spoke.

"The Chunin Exams? Don't you know that?"

"Um?"

Sasuke raised his head in confusion, looking at Haori with a puzzled expression.

"Father, what do you know?"

Sasuke was clearly still a bit dazed, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, while Hagoromo looked at the kid with amusement, and after a while he gently shook his head.

"Don't you know that your name and your team have already been nominated?"

"what?"

"And all of this has been approved. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you and your team will be participating in this assessment."

Hearing Yuzhi's words and seeing the faint smile on her face, Sasuke was momentarily stunned.

As for feelings, I don't need to say much because I've already been selected for this assessment.

Thinking about this, Sasuke felt both embarrassed and excited, and at the same time, he was a little nervous, because he knew that he had to do his best this time!

"Alright, that's roughly the situation. I think you understand now."

Yuri chuckled as she looked at Sasuke before continuing.

"Give it your all! This year's Chunin Exams are for the best and brightest, so you absolutely won't pass if you don't work hard, understand?"

"I know, Father!"

Sasuke's expression was resolute. He nodded, then stood up and bowed deeply.

"I will absolutely not let Father down. I'll go train now, and I'm sure I'll succeed this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke ran outside without looking back, a scene that left Yuzhi both amused and exasperated.

He knew Sasuke's personality very well. In the original story, he always longed for recognition, but Fugaku Uchiha never really gave him much recognition.

In a sense, he also longed for Itachi Uchiha's approval, but that guy's heart was full of Konoha and his clan, and his attitude towards Sasuke was...

Hagoromo knew all this, which is why he was always patient with Sasuke and always respected him.

结果

"This kid is so worried about disappointing you, isn't he?"

Even Hikaru couldn't hold back anymore. If she didn't know who Sasuke's parents were, she would have suspected that Haori and Mikoto had already done something together.

What frustrated her was that they had been "trying" a lot lately, but the results were zero.

Fortunately, Yuzhi didn't seem to care about these things and seemed only interested in herself, which made her too lazy to think about it anymore.

"Isn't this a good thing? Sasuke is actually quite good."

Haori put his arm around Hikaru's waist and chuckled softly before continuing.

"It would definitely be a good thing if he performs well, but hopefully he can handle the start of the Chunin Exams, since this situation is quite unusual."

"It is indeed extraordinary, but it's nothing special."

He just tilted his head and looked at the haori, seemingly not caring much.

"What else can compare to the commotion you've caused this time?"

"You, back then you turned the entire moon into your eternal eye."

Yuzhi smiled gently, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the horizon.

"Perhaps it will be you next time, after all, the time for you to try it won't be too long."

As he spoke, Yuzhi recalled the moment he was on the moon, and then he couldn't help but check himself over again.

He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming once again that there were no problems.

"is that so?"

Within the consciousness space of the haori, after hearing the haori's words, Princess Kaguya frowned and remained silent.

Princess Kaguya wanted to know the follow-up plans of the so-called "Otsutsuki Hagoromo," but where could she find this damn haori?

Therefore, he briefly explained his plan, which was to integrate the ninja world, unite all resources, and then work together to deal with the Otsutsuki in the future.

To be honest, if this had been said in the past, Kaguya would have been very dismissive, as she was well aware of the power of the Otsutsuki clan.

This is not something an ordinary person can easily handle, but the situation is different now.

Because Haori truly defeated an Otsutsuki, and at that time Haori hadn't even fully activated the "Power of All Things".

He was able to do all this with the power of the broken divine tree, and now he not only possesses the power of all things in the universe, but is also about to transcend the level of life.

With such power, they would have a greater advantage when facing those Otsutsuki, and even against a monster like Isshiki, they might not necessarily lose!

"Use your own children to ignite war, and through the means of war, constantly hone those ordinary people, allowing them to grow."

The war also honed his children's descendants, giving them skills and abilities, and the best among them could recognize the improvement in their bloodline and restore them to the level of the Otsutsuki.

With such an existence, the entire ninja world can be united, the world can be integrated, and your original idea of ​​protecting all living beings can be achieved?

"Hagoromo, so this was your plan, your purpose. You haven't changed at all."

Princess Kaguya remained silent for a long time before she murmured softly, as if she had already concluded that all of this was her son's plan!

However, her gaze quickly settled on Yuzhi, and the next moment her hand suddenly landed on Yuzhi's body.

This action instantly made Hagoromo tense up, and Kaguya-hime's voice rang out again.

"I think I understand his thinking, although I can't agree with it, because I still think my method is the most effective."

But regardless, you have indeed brought about some changes, and I'd like to see just how far you can go.

"So, what is this?"

Yu Zhi asked with some concern, unsure of what this woman meant.

"I'll help you complete the final step."

Princess Kaguya spoke indifferently, and her figure began to slowly fade away.

"Although you have reached the edge of the final step and can break through at any time, there are still some problems with your power system."

Hagoromo wants you to become the next me, but you can't, because you are not me, because every Otsutsuki is unique!

However, your power system is similar to mine, so I can help you out.

Consider it a reward for letting me know the truth about my son, and for allowing you to deal with my people!

At this point, Princess Kaguya's figure became even more indistinct, but her aura also began to grow increasingly terrifying.

Almost instantly, her chakra gave Hagoromo the illusion that it was being suppressed.

The vast chakra continuously flowed into Yuki's body, and Kaguya's figure became increasingly ethereal at this moment.

Clearly, this projection of hers was formed from her own chakra, and she was currently injecting this chakra into Yuki's body!

With each of her movements, Yuzhi felt his blood boiling even more intensely, but this was not what he wanted.

He knew that his words should have satisfied Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Although the Sage of Six Paths' "plan" is far removed from his own, overall, the Sage of Six Paths in this "version" exhibits the characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan.

It is ruthless and cold-blooded, but also planned and strategic, rather than the original wishful thinking and self-indulgence.

She was satisfied, and she planned to reward Yuzhi, but that wasn't what Yuzhi really wanted.

Because she was genuinely worried, and truly afraid that this woman would cause trouble!

Just as he was pondering this, the desolate world within his consciousness instantly became bustling.

Drafts sprang forth, and the breath of life blossomed throughout the entire space of consciousness!

In the real world, an extreme surge of chakra soared into the sky, its brilliant azure color spreading from the moon's interior and piercing the heavens before drifting throughout the entire universe!

At that moment, Yuki seemed to experience a true transformation, as if his chakra and bloodline had completely merged into one.

At that moment, the system interface on his retina changed, and a crisp notification sound began to ring.

At the same time, he heard Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice.

"My descendants, welcome back to the embrace of the Otsutsuki."

-

"Everyone, it's almost time."

In Iwagakure, in the Tsuchikage's office, Onoki sat in front of the screen watching the figures on the screen and said in a low voice.

"After waiting so long, everyone, are you all ready?"

Onoki's voice was somewhat low. Time passed little by little, and finally, the most important moment had arrived!

Despite suffering numerous setbacks over the years, they have never chosen to give up.

They trained the troops, they forged the personnel, they pushed themselves to develop, they had done everything they could.

And now, the most crucial moment has finally arrived, and at this moment, they are filled with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Onoki was the same, but he forced himself to cheer up.

He had prepared a great deal for this day, even suppressing Deidara's temper to make him the team leader Jonin, which speaks volumes.

After all, Deidara needs to familiarize himself with the terrain before he can cause destruction. Only by entering Konoha can he do it better!

Interestingly, because the Akatsuki organization was altered by the Hagoromo, Deidara ultimately did not join the Akatsuki organization; instead, he remained in Iwagakure until now.

Although he caused quite a stir within Iwagakure, his talent was ultimately realized, and he showed considerable growth.

This time, he is also going to join Konoha's main force, and he has taken on an important task.

"Don't worry, after preparing for so long, I naturally know what to do."

After a moment of silence, the Fourth Raikage spoke, his gaze firm despite his concerns.

We've waited so long, prepared for so long, isn't it all for today?

"I just hope that the others don't mess things up."

"Hmph, we've made plenty of preparations."

Luo Sha snorted disdainfully, but he felt somewhat helpless and uneasy.

Even now, not a single tail has appeared, which fills him with an indescribable fear.

He didn't know what had happened, why the one-tailed beast had suddenly disappeared, or why this beast hadn't appeared after all these years.

This reminded him of a piece of intelligence: it seemed that intelligence agents from Konoha and Sunagakure had spotted Gaara.

Rasa didn't dare to think about those things, and he didn't want too many people to know about them, because that would only lower Sunagakure's prestige.

He had to do something and confirm something in this operation, otherwise Sunagakure would be in real trouble!

"We're fine with it too."

"It's all ready."

The others had no idea what Rasa was thinking. Nagato and Genji both replied calmly, while Onoki nodded seriously after hearing this.

"That's good then, everyone, let's get ready to set off."
