Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 86 The Wedding of the Fourth Susanoo (10,000-word chapter)

"How does it feel? Can you control this chakra?"

"No, this chakra is too difficult to control."

At Haori's house, Hikaru, feeling the strange chakra within his body, finally shook his head helplessly.

However, her gaze subtly swept over Yuzhi, who was deep in thought, and she was still somewhat unconvinced.

A few months ago, Yui suddenly had the idea to try training a power called "Sage Chakra".

Although Hikari found it a bit strange, she didn't refuse; she instinctively trusted Haori completely.

She just hadn't expected that this task would be so difficult.

The chakra transmitted from the haori's body was extremely dangerous, so dangerous that she had to handle even the smallest amount with extra care.

She had seen Yui use this chakra before, and its power was indeed exceptionally strong, but she never imagined that it would be so difficult to master.

She didn't know why she could master the haori but not herself, which made her somewhat frustrated.

"Is that so? It seems we'll have to think of a solution."

Upon hearing Hikaru's words, Hagoromo stroked his chin, knowing full well that Sage Mode was extremely difficult to control.

Otherwise, there would be so few people who possess this power in the original work, and not everyone is Madara, who can forcibly control this power.

But her light abilities are not bad either, and the Sage Chakra she received was stripped of its special properties, making it her own Sage Art.

There aren't many of them, so normally they shouldn't be that difficult to manage.

"Could it be that the White Zetsu have fewer cells?"

Yuzhi quickly thought of a possibility, even though they had undergone multiple rounds of injections over the past few months.

However, compared to someone like Madara, whose chest already shows the likeness of Hashirama Senju, their numbers seem to be quite different.

"How did you acquire this power?"

Just as Haori was pondering, Hikaru frowned and asked somewhat unconvinced.

"These so-called Sage Chakras you speak of are not so easily controlled at all."

"Perhaps it's talent?"

When Haori heard about the question about light, she instinctively wanted to summon her control panel, but ultimately decided against it and gave this answer.

Using cheat codes is also a kind of talent.

"snort."

Hikaru was taken aback when she heard Haori's words, then let out a disgruntled snort.

Talent is a truly unreasonable thing.

Although Guang was somewhat unconvinced, she couldn't help but purse her lips, wondering if she really had no way to control it.

"I think it might be because we're not using enough white Zetsu cells."

After thinking for a long time, Yuzhi finally spoke.

"I can feel that after we inject these cells, there is a significant increase in affinity for natural chakra."

Although our true purpose in using these cells is to restore our Sharingan, these things do indeed have extraordinary effects.

Furthermore, I've noticed that your adaptation to the forces of nature is steadily improving; at least, the time you can sustain yourself with them is constantly increasing, isn't it?"

"It seems that's indeed the case."

After thinking it over carefully, she finally nodded.

These days, they regularly inject that white solvent.

With this infusion, her adaptability to the Hagoromo Sage Chakra is constantly improving.

Even now, she still finds it difficult to control, but it's still much better than when she almost went berserk when she first encountered these powers.

"It seems we'll have to increase the dosage later. After all, with Nonou helping to monitor it afterwards, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Yuzhi decided on her guess and ultimately made a decision.

Pharmacist Nonou is now considered part of the police department, but Haori won't let her know more about their experiments.

They would only allow her to monitor Haori and Hikaru's physical condition after the solvent injection, since she wasn't considered one of their own yet.

Her main job is to train the police department's medical team, which can also be considered as training the medical talents that Yuri hopes to develop in the future.

Kabuto Yakushi is one of them, although this little guy's biggest bond is still with Nono.

But the key point is that he is still young, and many things in the future are uncertain.

"Even if I can't change it, I can just say 'Kabuto, you don't want to be like Nonou either,' right?"

That's exactly what Danzo did. It's no big deal if he takes a turn himself, since he won't harm these two anyway.

As for having Hikari learn Sage Mode, this wasn't actually a sudden whim of Hagoromo's.

There's no doubt that Haori trusts Hikari; after going through so much together, he understands what kind of person Hikari truly is.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered the future of light, let alone what to do with the kaleidoscope of light.

Moreover, Hikari's talent and abilities are truly astonishing, and Hagoromo wants to see what she will become if she follows Madara's path.

"If she could truly gather all the power elements Madara possessed before he became the Six Paths, how powerful would she be?"

If Yu Zhi had an idea, he would naturally try it. His first attempt was the Sage Technique, which he had already mastered, but the Sage Technique was indeed quite difficult.

Fortunately, it's not a big deal, since even Madara only mastered the power of Sage Mode at the very end.

Take it slow, you'll succeed eventually.

"Besides, now that we have the power, we are fully capable of dealing with the Nine-Tails."

Yuzhi thought to herself that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Nine-Tails incident should erupt in a few months.

Although Yuri was unsure whether Obito, who had already been repeatedly beaten up by him and Hikaru, still had the confidence to cause a Nine-Tails incident.

Moreover, Rin is still alive, Kakashi has changed but hasn't joined the Anbu, and he rarely visits gravesites anymore.

In that case, the probability of that wave of "whispers from the grave" that changed everyone's fate appearing is also very low.

"But it's always good to be on guard. Who knows what new tricks a genius like Obito will pull out next."

We've already witnessed Obito's madness in the original manga.

Now I understand it firsthand; when he goes crazy, he's completely beyond redemption, and Yuzhi doesn't have a mouth like Betsuka.

However, even if he goes crazy and comes over now, Yuzhi will definitely teach him a lesson.

After all, under the spur of light, Haori finally managed to awaken her own Susanoo!

Even though his Susanoo level is still low, he has at least acquired this ability.

"I've almost recovered, and I think you should start training too."

Just as Yuzhi was pondering this in her heart, Hikaru suddenly stood up and looked down at Yuzhi.

"Let's go. Your Susanoo is too weak. It hasn't even activated the second stage yet. It's too slow."

"Tch, I've only been enlightened for a short time, how could I compare to you?"

Upon hearing Hikaru's words, Hagoromo suddenly felt somewhat depressed.

His Susanoo is far inferior to that of Hikaru, and he only managed to sense Susanoo and eventually activate it with Hikaru's help.

However, he wasn't without an excuse, after all, he hadn't had his eyes open for very long.

"Although you have only just opened your eyes, you don't need to worry about your pupil power right now."

Hikaru, however, didn't care about any of that. Instead, he smiled and grabbed Haori's hand, saying something.

"You're much better than I was before. Come on, don't slack off."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Yuzhi pursed his lips, looked at the girl holding his hand, and sighed inwardly.

Why is this woman's Susanoo so strong?

"Looks like that kid did pretty well."

Inside the Root underground base, Orochimaru and Danzo stood together, looking down at Itachi Uchiha who was training hard. Orochimaru suddenly smiled and spoke.

Danzo nodded slightly, his perpetually stern expression softening.

Itachi Uchiha's talent was beyond expectations; this kid learns everything incredibly fast.

Moreover, there was something about this kid that particularly pleased him: the kid already possessed the most important thing for a ninja—killing intent.

Ultimately, ninjas are tools for killing, and too much emotion can hinder a ninja's growth.

In Danzo's understanding, a ninja only needs to have one belief, and then continuously improve and grow for that belief, and fight to the death.

That's enough, and that's definitely enough to become a qualified ninja.

Itachi Uchiha has the potential to become a qualified ninja, and he is constantly developing in that direction.

"Very good, I'm already preparing to assign him some tasks."

Danzo spoke indifferently, his gaze fixed on Itachi Uchiha.

"Assign tasks?"

Orochimaru was also somewhat surprised to hear this, and he asked curiously.

"This kid is only five years old, isn't that a bit too young?"

"His talent, his excellence, is beyond your imagination, Orochimaru."

Danzo sneered, but didn't offer any further explanation. Instead, he turned to look at Orochimaru.

"How is the experiment going? And how's the investigation I asked you to do going?"

"The experiment remains the same. After all, materials are scarce, so I have to use them sparingly."

Orochimaru paid no attention to Danzo's superior-like attitude, and instead spoke casually.

"As for the investigation, the Uchiha clan is not so easy to investigate. As for Yakushi Nonou, she is now considered a member of the police department."

Moreover, this matter was approved by our Fourth Hokage, and the Third Hokage also tacitly approved it.

Upon hearing these words, Danzo's expression, which had just eased, immediately tightened again; he was in an extremely bad mood.

He was confident that he had not left any traces during his previous sparring match with Orochimaru and Hagoromo.

After all, whatever traces remained, they were all reduced to ashes in that fire.

But to his utter surprise, Hiruzen Sarutobi eventually found him and was convinced that it was his fault!

"So, it seems the slightest disturbance will find its way to this old man?"

Danzo's resentment was palpable, but what angered him most was that, because Root was still being rebuilt, he could only rely on Orochimaru to investigate certain matters.

If Itachi Uchiha is to fully belong to Root, then he must do something.

Brainwashing requires continuous output, but it also requires finding a target to hate. Only after this target is resolved can the kid be completely won over.

Danzo didn't believe in any of that bullshit talk about "family feuds and the death of everyone." In his eyes, this was a coup, this was murder!

The person who took action was the current head of the Uchiha clan, or even that brat Uchiha Haori!

Whether it was because Danzo's malice was too deep or because he had truly gained supernatural insight, almost everything he thought was correct.

However, he had no evidence, which frustrated him. What frustrated him even more was that Yakushi Nonou had betrayed him.

Yakushi Nonou was once a member of Root. Although she wanted to leave, Root is not a place you can come and go as you please.

Especially now that the root is facing reconstruction, he needs experienced and capable people, and Yakushi Nonou is obviously the best choice.

He sent Orochimaru to find out what was going on, naturally in order to find out his weakness and force him to return to Root with peace of mind.

But what he now understands is making him extremely distressed.

"It's those Uchiha again. What was that idiot Third Hokage thinking? Why did he let them get away with it so much?"

Danzo was already furious. If the police department continued to develop like this, it was hard to say whether it would really become the monster organization described in the plan.

This was something Danzo absolutely wouldn't allow. In his view, Konoha absolutely couldn't allow a department that was outside his control!

Even if the Hokage can still control this department.

"That's the gist of the investigation. When will you send your materials? I'm running out of time to proceed with the next stage of the experiment."

Orochimaru didn't care what Danzo was thinking; his purpose in coming to find Danzo had always been very pure.

That is—Danzo, it's time to send money, and this time is no exception.

"I will find a way, you don't need to worry about that."

Danzo spoke with a cold face, but he paused for a moment before asking a question.

"Is there really no evidence at all?"

"What kind of evidence do you want?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment upon hearing this, then a smile appeared on his face.

"To what extent can you do it?"

Danzo glared at Orochimaru before continuing to ask questions.

"I can't fool other people, since they're not idiots, but I can fool a kid."

Orochimaru thought about it carefully before giving his answer.

Although some people disdain Danzo's methods, ninjas are inherently ruthless and will stop at nothing.

For them, pulling some strings, fabricating evidence, and framing others is not difficult at all; they might even do it voluntarily because of mission requirements.

Moreover, the Root members treated these things as commonplace, and Orochimaru wasn't a good person to begin with, so these things were no burden to him either.

"Is that so?"

Danzo frowned, and after a long while he spoke seriously.

"I want you to discover some evidence by chance in Uchiha Itachi's presence, and all the evidence points to Uchiha Hagoromo as the mastermind behind that coup."

And in order to cover up the evidence, could they possibly join others in burning the entire Nanga Shrine to the ground?

"It's a bit difficult, but not impossible. However, I need a detailed personality assessment of Uchiha Itachi."

Orochimaru thought for a moment before smiling and speaking.

"Only in this way can I use his personality to ensure that no problems arise."

"No problem, I'll give it to you in a bit."

Danzo nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Orochimaru's words.

He had been having a lot of bad luck lately, and Orochimaru's answer made him feel a little better.

He must solve both the Uchiha problem and the police department problem.

Now, let's plant a seed. This seed is currently exceptionally pure and has extraordinary talent. He believes that it will surely reap rewards in the future!

"However, there is one more thing that needs to be discussed."

However, just as Danzo was enjoying himself, Orochimaru suddenly spoke up again.

"What's wrong?"

Danzo frowned, looking at Orochimaru with a puzzled expression.

"Forging evidence is certainly not a problem, and with meticulous attention to detail, it's absolutely achievable, but..."

"Just what?"

"But this will delay my progress and affect my original plans. I think you should make some compensation, right, Lord Danzo?"

Danzo almost lost his composure upon hearing these words.

Because Orochimaru's words, in essence, conveyed only one meaning—

You have to pay more!

He was now increasingly suspecting that Orochimaru was just trying to scam funding.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now."

"Go back soon, Minato."

As dusk fell, Minato Namikaze finished his day's work and greeted the Third Hokage with a smile.

Given his personality, he should have been working overtime, since he had only just started and needed to learn and adapt to many things.

But this won't work, because Kushina is already pregnant!

The thought of this filled him with a sense of happiness.

He always felt that Kushina was the best gift God had given him, and he naturally cherished it all the more.

He knew that Kushina also dreamed of becoming Hokage, which is why he worked even harder to become Hokage and realize their shared dream.

Now he has finally fulfilled their shared dream, and they have even welcomed their child.

All of this felt like a dream to him, and his feelings were more than just simple joy.

He activated the Flying Thunder God Technique quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back home from the Hokage's office.

"I'm back."

Minato called out with a smile, just as the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, indicating that Kushina was cooking.

However, as soon as he entered the living room, he suddenly saw a figure sitting casually on the sofa, looking around leisurely.

Upon seeing him enter, she waved and smiled naturally, saying, "Yo, Minato, you're back."

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

Looking at the person on the sofa, Minato suddenly laughed.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of amusement, but he was complaining.

"Could it be that now that you've become Hokage, you're annoyed that this old man is bothering your married life?"

"What are you saying, Jiraiya-sensei? Minato and I are overjoyed that you could come."

A soft laugh rang out, and Kushina Uzumaki, wearing an apron and carrying a plate of prepared dishes, came out.

There are some differences from the original work, perhaps because a series of minor accidents occurred in Konoha, and Jiraiya ultimately failed to escape.

He has remained in Konoha ever since.

"Kushina is getting better and better at talking. People who are about to get married are really different."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya burst into laughter. The wedding of Minato and the others had been confirmed and would be held this month, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

However, he didn't invite many people this time; only some close friends, the heads of various clans, and young children like Kakashi.

It's fair to say that Minato Namikaze intends to handle this matter discreetly, which is perfectly normal.

"Jiraiya-sensei"

Perhaps it was the news of marriage that caused Kushina's face to flush slightly, which brought back a happy smile to Minato's face.

"Kid, you've got some skills."

However, to his surprise, Jiraiya suddenly leaned close to him and whispered something.

"You actually managed to turn such a volatile woman into a wife. I'm impressed with you now, Minato."

"Jiraiya-sensei"

Minato felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, while Kushina suddenly looked up and gave him a bright smile.

"I heard that, Jiraiya-sensei."

Jiraiya shuddered and immediately sat up straight. Kushina, seeing this, merely snorted and turned back to the kitchen.

"I take back what I said before. Thank you for your hard work, Minato."

Only after confirming that Kushina had left did Jiraiya speak to Minato with a regretful expression.

"Haha. Actually, I'm fine, teacher."

Minato Namikaze really didn't know how to respond, so he could only awkwardly laugh and say something.

The joyful time passed quickly, and soon the three of them sat around the table to have dinner together.

After the meal, Jiraiya sipped the tea Kushina had brewed and remarked, "Kushina's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Then Jiraiya-sensei can come often when he has time."

At this moment, Kushina was sitting opposite him, while Minato had already gone to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Hearing this, Kushina couldn't help but smile and say.

"Yes, as long as the teacher likes to come often, that's fine."

Shuimen, who had finished washing all the dishes, came out and also laughed.

"Tch, I don't plan to stay in Konoha forever. Now that there's no more fighting in Konoha, it's time for me to stretch my muscles."

Jiraiya decisively shook his head and took out a book from his backpack.

"Hey, you're getting married. I don't have much to give you. This is a new book that I've been conceiving for a long time and have accumulated many years of insights into.

The book is called "The Legend of the Persevering Ninja." Consider it a gift; it's personally signed by me, so please cherish it.

"Thank you very much, teacher!"

Minato Namikaze didn't care that the gift was just a book; to him, anything Jiraiya gave him was something to be happy about.

The same goes for Kushina; Jiraiya was truly too important to both of them.

"After you get married, I also plan to leave and travel around."

Jiraiya leaned back strategically, resting his entire body on the sofa, and said with a smile.

"Strange things always happened in Konoha before, and there was also the problem with Kumogakure, which prevented me from having a chance to go out."

"Of course, there's also your wedding. I still have so many ideas to come up with, and now I finally have the chance."

"Is Jiraiya-sensei still leaving?"

Minato Namikaze, holding the book, asked with a hint of helplessness. He truly didn't want Jiraiya to leave.

"Of course, but you don't need to make that face, do you?"

Jiraiya leaned back on the sofa, shrugged, and said with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm not not coming back. We'll see each other then."

"It's like this, teacher. Kushina is pregnant, and the hospital's due date is in October."

Minato Namikaze thought about it and decided it would be better to tell the truth.

"What? You're pregnant?"

Jiraiya was so surprised that he sat up straight and looked at Kushina in disbelief.

"Yes, we were even thinking of having the teacher give the child a name."

Kushina smiled and looked down at her stomach tenderly.

"You only told me this now? That's outrageous!"

Jiraiya was a little confused, but he quickly turned red in the face and shouted excitedly.

"Where's the sake? Kushina, go get some sake! I'm going to have a good drink with Minato tonight!"

"No!"

However, Kushina suddenly changed her expression and slammed her hand on the table in front of her, startling Jiraiya and Minato.

"The doctor told me that I can't drink alcohol during pregnancy, not even smell it."

So, Jiraiya-sensei, Minato can't drink with you tonight!

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, shrugged with a smile, giving an expression that said he was helpless.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Jiraiya pursed his lips, inwardly complaining that Kushina was even more domineering than Tsunade despite being pregnant.

However, for the sake of his disciple's happiness and for his own future enjoyment of food, it's better for him not to say these words.

As for the child's name, he suddenly glanced at the book he had left for Minato and already had an idea in mind.

However, he didn't say it directly. Instead, he put his hand on Minato Namikaze's shoulder and muttered helplessly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Minato."

"teacher"

"I told you last time you tried to cause trouble for that brat Yuzhi, and now you're seeing the consequences, aren't you?"

"Kushina, I'm listening."

"."

-

"Am I in a hospital?"

Mikoto slowly opened her eyes, looked at the white ceiling, and smelled the faint scent of medicine in the air. She felt somewhat lost.

Kushina received excellent care during her pregnancy, but Mikoto Uchiha's situation was not so good.

In fact, she had already discovered that she was pregnant again during the New Year's festival.

She didn't tell anyone else about it, though, because she felt her situation was particularly bad and she doubted that anyone in her family would help her.

"Besides, I used to be a ninja myself. Don't I think I can handle these things?"

Mikoto thought to herself that she was once an elite ninja, so this problem was not difficult for her.

At first it was fine, but as her belly grew bigger, many things began to become inconvenient.

Moreover, she was the only one managing the huge former clan head's mansion, because after Fugaku Uchiha died, she dismissed all the former servants, which made things even more difficult for her.

"And what exactly is Itachi doing?"

Besides the problem with the baby in her belly, Mikoto is also having a headache with her other child.

Itachi was intelligent from a young age, but he was also exceptionally withdrawn. Especially after this setback, he seemed to have become even more isolated.

He doesn't talk much on weekdays, leaves early and returns late every day, and won't say anything when asked anything. This situation makes Mikoto really worried.

Even now, Itachi continues to do the same thing, which fills Mikoto with a sense of helplessness.

Perhaps the only thing to be happy about is that Hagoromo is a man of his word; he doesn't seem to have done anything to Itachi.

In fact, during this time, Mikoto had been paying close attention to all the changes within the clan.

Because she knew very well that what would happen to the clan was actually related to the lives of her own family.

Using this as a pretext, Yuzhi and her group carried out a brutal purge of the clan leader and elders.

If they can't do it well, then the first thing to clean up is naturally their own place, since Yuzhi has revealed the secret.

To her astonishment, everything within the clan was steadily improving, and everyone seemed to be visibly becoming more energetic.

She also heard that the clan council is no longer just a gathering of high-ranking members discussing changes within the clan.

They even sent representatives from the lowest-ranking Uchiha clan members, who were inaccessible to Mikoto, to infiltrate the area.

And listen to their voices, understand their needs, and then make some necessary changes based on the actual situation.

None of this was something that Fugaku Uchiha could have accomplished when he was the clan leader.

It seems that Yuzhi and the others' starting point was truly for the sake of the entire clan and all the Uchiha people!

"Not only that, even the police department has undergone changes."

Mikoto thought to herself that she had naturally seen the current police department's law enforcement when she went to the hospital.

The current law enforcement situation is completely different from what it was back then!

The police department at that time was indeed exceptionally proud and enforced the law very strictly, which led many people to be unwilling to cooperate.

From the perspective of the Uchiha clan, Mikoto seemed to think that none of this was a problem, and that those who committed the crimes were the real troublemakers.

But now that we're in this situation, and seeing how the police departments have completely changed their enforcement guidelines and attitudes...

She suddenly realized that this seemed more reasonable and better, and that no one would refuse to cooperate with the police investigation if she did it this way.

"Could it be that Fugaku and the others were really wrong?"

This idea had been swirling in her mind ever since she saw everything change after the New Year's Festival.

She naturally hated Yuzhi, hated that this person had ruined her family.

But she was, after all, the daughter of an elder, and identified herself as a member of the Uchiha clan, which made her question everything Fugaku had done.

Most importantly, their lives have not been disturbed, which makes her sigh with regret.

However, she ultimately did not seek help, believing she could handle it herself, until she inexplicably woke up to find herself in the hospital.

"You're awake?"

Just as she was feeling lost, a voice suddenly rang in her ear, which made her instantly flustered.

She recognized the voice immediately; it was Uchiha Haori's voice!

"Rest well now that you're awake. If the people monitoring you hadn't found you unconscious in the living room, you might be in serious trouble."

Mikoto looked up and saw Haori sitting there peeling an apple, and a girl was sitting next to him as well.

She knew that girl; her name seemed to be Uchiha Hotaru, and she was also an extremely powerful ninja.

But something was strange about her; why did Yuzhi look so tired and pale?

However, she didn't dare to ask that question, and upon hearing Yuzhi's words, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

She was naturally prepared to be monitored, but was it really okay to say it so directly?

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Yuzhi. I'm fine."

After a long while, Mikoto finally sighed helplessly and said something.

"Malnutrition, overwork, and pregnancy—you call this nothing?"

Yuri raised an eyebrow, handed the peeled apple to Hikaru, and then continued speaking.

"Although we have some problems, I want you to remember one thing."

You are a member of the Uchiha clan, and I have said that all Uchiha are family, and I will not go back on my word.

If you have any problems, you can come to me, or talk to Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Xiu. There's absolutely no need to continue like this.

Upon hearing these words, Mikoto was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Don't use your preconceived notions to think about what we should do."

Yuri stood up and looked at Mikoto in front of him, then spoke slowly.

"This is pointless and unnecessary. I have already informed Shisui, and he will try his best to bring back the people you dismissed earlier."

They are familiar with your daily life, and you are not in a convenient position right now. It's better to have someone take care of you than to mess around on your own.

Did you know?

"Um"

Mikoto hesitated for a long time before she nodded gently.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you."

Yuzhi frowned and spoke directly.

"I understand."

Mikoto was startled. She hadn't expected Haori to be so rough. This seemed different from what she remembered. Nevertheless, she still honestly replied loudly.

"Just knowing is enough."

Yuri nodded, then glanced at Mikoto's belly before slowly speaking.

"If you have any problems, remember to contact us. If all else fails, you can contact Shisui. We are working hard to make the Uchiha clan better, so we certainly won't overlook you."

Besides, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your unborn child, would you?

Yuri spoke these words with such practiced ease that even Hikaru, who was biting an apple nearby, could only roll her eyes and not bother to comment.

Mikoto was also a little confused, but she eventually nodded.

For the sake of her child, she really shouldn't continue like this.

"Get some rest. Also, the Fourth Hokage and Kushina-senpai are getting married at the end of this month, and they've sent you an invitation."

Take good care of yourself, and remember to come along when the time comes, okay?

"Um"

Faced with the somewhat assertive Haori, who had also saved her life, Mikoto really didn't dare to make any boastful claims.

This seemed quite different from the kind but ruthless boy she remembered.

However, she didn't have time to think about it much, because Yuzhi had already left the ward with the light.

"Are they all family?"

Reaching out, Mikoto gently touched her protruding belly, her heart filled with mixed emotions. After a while, she sighed softly.

-

"Are you alright? You look so fierce."

In the hospital corridor, as she looked around at the smiling people greeting them, she kept responding while tugging at Yuzhi and whispering a question to her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yuzhi nodded, but he felt a little uneasy inside.

This woman, I haven't even used a single "Glorious Evolution" skill. What if something really goes wrong and the system takes away my rewards halfway through?

Sasuke didn't care; Indra's chakra would be randomly generated within the Uchiha clan anyway, unlike Ashura's wide range of choices.

But the reward for the feather was something he earned by risking his life to complete the mission, how could he let someone just take it away like that?

As Yuri thought to herself, she couldn't help but glance at the light beside her.

Another reason for his anger was that he had been relentlessly pushed by this girl.

Although the Susanoo of Light is only in its third stage, which is a state where it has no feet but is covered in armor all over its body.

But her Susanoo seemed to be much more powerful than the Susanoo that Yuki remembered.

Even though she kept her power under control and didn't let Susanoo fully unleash its power, she only maintained the same level as Hagoromo.

But the power of that attack still made Yuzhi's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, they controlled the power and chose a very remote valley in Konoha, otherwise there would probably have been more trouble.

Having already been beaten up, and then hearing the word "reward" nearly made her fly away, it's no wonder Yuzhi was so fierce.

"It's good that you're alright. Your Susanoo has improved somewhat today, but you still need to keep it up."

She took a bite of the apple and whispered something, which made Yuzhi's mood, which had just started to improve, tense up again.

His progress as Susanoo was all forged by the power of light.

However, there's something Yuri hasn't figured out.

The Susanoo of Light is dark red, but why is it black when it comes to him?

Originally, Susanoo was a huge chakra vessel filled with a cold and destructive aura. Now that his Susanoo has turned black, it makes him look like a villain.

"Okay, I understand."

Yuzhi looked a little dejected, but he eventually nodded.

"However, I think we should take a good rest recently, as we are about to attend the fourth generation's wedding."

You wouldn't want us both looking exhausted to attend someone else's wedding, would you? That would be too impolite.

"Is that rude?"

Hikari nodded, but when it came to being impolite, she couldn't help but glare at Haori, which left Haori somewhat bewildered.

However, Hikaru ignored it and was thinking about the wedding.

As she was thinking, for some reason her face suddenly flushed slightly, and then she glanced at the haori beside her.

"That's a rude brat."

-

The Land of Water, within the Hidden Mist Village.

While Obito was causing trouble in the ninja world, Black Zetsu didn't completely follow him.

He was well aware of the current state of the ninja world, and knew that he needed his own power to deal with it.

Besides personal strength, one must not lag behind in other aspects, and Kirigakure is obviously the best choice!

"Furthermore, there are traces of Madara and his political legacy in Kirigakure. I'll take stock of them first so that Obito can take over in the future."

Black Zetsu was hiding in the Mizukage's office. At this time, the Mizukage was the Fourth Hokage, Yagura Karatachi.

This guy looks young, but he's quite strong, and most importantly, he's a Jinchūriki!

A perfect Jinchuriki would be difficult for anyone to deal with, but Kirigakure clearly does not have the capability to create a perfect Jinchuriki.

Their personalities and their sealing techniques have already determined everything; Black Zetsu is thinking about how to get Obito to control the Mizukage.

In that case, the entire Hidden Mist Village would be under their control!

"Um?"

Just as Black Zetsu was observing the Fourth Mizukage, his White Zetsu body suddenly twitched.

He immediately realized that this was an intelligence report, so he quickly accessed it and began to read it.

However, in just a moment, his expression changed drastically. If he had blood in his body, he would probably have developed high blood pressure!

"Obito, are you fucking insane?"

The shocking truth is that Nagato has agreed to attack Konoha with Obito!

He never expected that while he was away from Obito, this kid would pull off such a ruthless act.

Doesn't that idiot Obito know that Nagato needs to adjust his eyesight right now, instead of fighting?

At that moment, he truly wanted to strangle Obito.
