Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Yin Yue wasn't lying.

That's mainly because...

If Kinshiki Otsutsuki weren't slightly strengthened, Naruto and Sasuke, along with an army of 120,000 ninja, would be more than capable of killing him.

If the ninja army were to achieve an overwhelming victory in their first battle...

They will inevitably become even more arrogant.

It would be better to let them experience the power of the Otsutsuki right from the start.

In this way, the subsequent ninja army will not become increasingly arrogant.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki stared at Yin Yue beside Kaguya, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's you!!"

"You even implanted his soul into his mind?" Kaguya asked in surprise.

"You figured it out."

Yin Yue said frankly.

Kaguya shook her head: "If he were just a puppet used for sparring, he wouldn't be like a real person. I didn't expect you could create... a living being."

Yin Yue nodded and said, "This is also an ability I gained after opening the Divine Kingdom. As long as I am within the Divine Kingdom, I can create living beings through energy conversion."

"Perhaps this is why, at your level, you need to constantly expand outwards and conquer star systems!" Kaguya thought of something and then whispered, "Perhaps that was the case with that Otsutsuki god back then."

She could vaguely sense it.

Drinking the moon now.

It has long surpassed the realm that ordinary Otsutsuki can reach. Even if Yin Yue has not yet reached the level of the Otsutsuki God, it is probably not far from that realm.

"I will avenge Lord Momoshiki!!"

Kim roared angrily, his head thrown back.

His aura spread wildly outward, stirring up terrifying air waves. He concentrated all the remaining chakra energy he had absorbed from the ninja army into his hand, condensing it into a crimson chakra weapon, and slashed at Yin Yue and Kaguya.

Yinyue stared intently at the incoming slash.

He simply raised his right hand.

It swayed gently.

Suddenly, the chaotic and disordered energy in the space seemed to be sorted out, becoming calm, stable, and restored to its original state.

"..." The crimson energy weapon held in Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki's hand disappeared.

The energy surges he created also vanished completely.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki stared blankly at the empty space around him, his face filled with surprise and fear: "You...you...why, why is this happening?"

He couldn't understand it, but he roughly knew that the guy who could awaken him from death was stronger than he had imagined.

Drinking the moon merely calmed the energy fluctuations in this space, which was enough to explain everything.

It's important to understand that manipulating energy to destroy space is a very simple thing for an Otsutsuki, but calming extremely violent spatial energy is a level that an ordinary Otsutsuki might never reach in their lifetime.

"Go and rest!" Yin Yue said to Jin Shi as if instructing her subordinate. As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Shi felt his thoughts freeze.

The bulky Otsutsuki stared wide-eyed, frozen in mid-air. Then, his body vanished like words erased from a blackboard, leaving no trace in the space.

And in this space.

Only Yinyue and Kaguya remained.

"Get out!"

As Yin Yue spoke, she opened a spatial gate, enveloping the two of them and disappearing from this illusory space.

As for Jin Shi, he is actually still in this space, but he has been sealed in a deeper space.

Training Secret Realm.

Even after escaping the illusion, the 120,000-strong ninja army was still immersed in the feeling of death.

Everyone's eyes were glazed over, their expressions blank; their spirits had truly and deeply journeyed through the Pure Land at the moment of death.

With the appearance of Drinking Moon and Kaguya.

The village's leaders gradually came to their senses.

"We...are we still alive?"

Raikage sighed.

He raised his two modified arms, looked them over, and confirmed that he was still alive.

Tsunade was bewildered and lost, her thoughts still replaying the moment before her death when the Otsutsuki descended from the sky and destroyed everything they had.

Mei Terumi, Yotsuchi, Gaara, and the others also came to their senses.

As for the Konoha Twelve, each of them wore a sorrowful expression. After regaining their composure, they began to reflect on their performance on the battlefield.

"Haha!" Shikamaru couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the gloomy-faced cockroaches around him.

This group was the first to be killed by the Otsutsuki and break free from the illusionary training.

Therefore, as time went by, they had long since recovered from the psychological trauma.

Furthermore, Shikamaru already knew that this was based on training within an illusion, and although it looked very real, a fake is still a fake.

Therefore, under Shikamaru's encouragement, even the ninjas who only knew the chakra cannon formation, including him and Darui, now had a relieved expression on their faces, completely different from their companions around them who looked pained.

"You...you can still laugh?"

Naruto suddenly looked up, wanting to see who was laughing.

When he saw Shikamaru, his pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Shikamaru, you're not dead?!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the people around him and exclaimed again, "I'm not dead either! Everyone, everyone's still alive!"

He completely failed to realize that the exercise was a real war.

"This was just a practical exercise."

Shikamaru approached the Konoha 1s and patiently explained, "It wasn't a real war, but a test given to us by Lord Yinyue. However, overall, I think we completely messed up this test."

He shrugged, then sat down on the ground facing the rest of the cockroaches.

Deidara smiled bitterly, "So, the gap between us and those kinds of guys is really this big!"

Shikamaru shook his head.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Shikamaru said in a deep voice, "Actually, it's not that big. It's just that we used the wrong method and were completely unprepared from the very beginning of this test."

The village's leadership seemed to have spent the entire day discussing battle plans, but when they actually faced the enemy, they discovered that many of the plans were completely useless.

Because the enemy doesn't play by the rules.

In Shikamaru's view

If it were in the beginning.

They let Kaguya fight Kinshiki Otsutsuki, with the ninja army and Naruto and Sasuke providing assistance to Kaguya. They might not be no match for Kinshiki.

Although Shikamaru gathered information about one of Kinshiki Otsutsuki's abilities for the ninja army, he was unable to participate in the subsequent battles.

But Shikamaru could roughly guess it.

The ninja army's subsequent battle plan.

That would most likely mean sending the ninja army to wear down Kinshiki Otsutsuki's stamina first.

However, let's analyze the situation from the perspective of the entire ninja army being eliminated together.

Clearly, the bulky yet exceptionally agile Otsutsuki possessed terrifying wide-range destructive power.

Even with the ninja army making the first move, this Otsutsuki easily wiped out his entire ninja army, leaving not a single one alive.

Therefore, Shikamaru believes that the ninja army was on the wrong track from the very beginning.

The war has begun.

Of course, we can't win.

"But I feel like we have no chance of winning at all!" Deidara lamented.

He was on the battlefield, in the ranks of the ninja army in the Iwagakure district.

However, before he could do anything, not even have the chance to use a ninjutsu in front of that Otsutsuki, he turned to ashes.

The rest of the Xiaoqiang realized that they had just gone through a drill, and their emotions recovered somewhat.

But when they realized what was happening...

The fact that the Otsutsuki they were about to face was so strong had made them feel a little better, but now their mood had become extremely bad again.

Shikamaru, however, remained steadfast in his belief:

"Of course we can win! If once isn't enough, we'll try twice. If twice isn't enough, we'll simulate three, four, ten times! Eventually, victory will be ours!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura said blankly, "But the real Otsutsuki wouldn't give us so many chances!"

Hearing this, Shikamaru laughed and said cheerfully, "The real Otsutsuki wouldn't give us so many chances, but the real Otsutsuki hasn't descended upon the ninja world yet, has he?"

Upon hearing these words...

The group of cockroaches, whose spirits had plummeted to rock bottom, were rekindled.

Yes, this is just a practical exercise; the real Otsutsuki have not yet arrived in the ninja world.

They still have a long time to train and face those terrifying Otsutsuki.

"Everyone, we still have a long way to go. Let's work hard together!" After comforting the young ninjas, Shikamaru slowly got up and was about to leave when he noticed a ninja walking towards him.

The ninja was clearly still reeling from the trauma of death.

But he mechanically approached Shikamaru and whispered, "Lord Shikamaru, Lady Tsunade summons you to her office in the Hokage Building."

"Okay!" Shikamaru replied.

Naruto said expectantly, "They've all started calling you Shikamaru-sama!"

Shikamaru turned around and smiled.

to be frank.

He really didn't want to be an adult. Compared to being an adult, it was better to be an unknown nobody under the guidance of the teacher.

Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow him to waste his talent.

...

...

Hokage Building.

office.

Five shadows gathered together.

Before summoning the major commanders, they had already begun to analyze and review the reasons for the defeat in this war.

"It's my fault," Tsunade sighed. "I underestimated my opponent."

Upon hearing this, Raikage and the others shook their heads: "The defeat of a war is never the fault of one person alone. I think we were too impetuous. We were always thinking about turning the tide and wanting to defeat an Otsutsuki to prove ourselves, but we never really examined what an Otsutsuki really is."

As he spoke, the Raikage added, "Take Kumogakure for example. They only care about working behind closed doors, creating so-called chakra cannons, but they don't consider the weaknesses of the Otsutsuki clan when making weapons."

"Therefore, once such a thing is created, it can only be used as a live target by the agile Otsutsuki, and it can't play any practical role at all."

Terumi Mei raised her hands and sighed:

"The Hidden Mist District too."

The Tsuchikage, Kyoto, didn't know what to say. He remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "We will also reflect on our own problems and then develop entirely new ninjutsu specifically targeting the Otsutsuki."

Gaara remained silent.

Their Sunagakure puppets did not play a significant role in this battle.

"Let's revise the battle plan!"

After a moment of silence, Tsunade sighed, "We need to develop different battle plans based on different Otsutsuki clans, and we need to be flexible in our tactics."

"Sir, the commanders have all been assembled."

After knocking silently on the door, he reminded Wu Ying.

"Alright!" Tsunade stood up. "Let's hold a debriefing meeting to review the overall battle situation!"

"yes--"

The other four Kage stood up and followed Tsunade out of the Hokage's office.

Since everyone has made mistakes, it's as if no one has made any mistakes. We can simply acknowledge the errors and start over. There won't be any situation where one party is singled out for blame.

This made them feel much better.

The commanders and the five Kage returned to the operations room, remained silent for a long time, and after calming themselves down, immediately convened a debriefing meeting.

...

...

Yin Yue led Kaguya through the streets of Konoha, within the training grounds.

Kaguya sighed, "Will the difficulty be adjusted for the next training session?"

Yin Yue nodded: "Yes, if we keep hitting them, their morale will be almost gone."

Therefore, Yin Yue plans to let the Konoha army win a narrow victory, gradually helping them regain their confidence, before arranging for them to fight against regular Otsutsuki members.

Of course, they will provide even more insane Otsutsuki to serve as sparring partners later on.

"Yes!" Kaguya nodded.

And this time.

A door standing by the street opened, and Liu Dao, panting, slowly walked out. When he saw Yin Yue, after a moment of surprise, he said in a deep voice, "This cultivation secret realm is truly amazing!"

He wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed, "For me, this is the only way to improve my strength in the ninja world right now!"

Yin Yue nodded and said, "As long as it's useful."

Nagato glanced at the two men, then looked towards the street, and was astonished to find that the Konoha ninja army looked gloomy and their faces were all grim. He said in a deep voice, "What's this?"

"During your training, you underwent your first real combat training against an Otsutsuki," Kaguya explained. "And the result..."

Nagato took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I will participate in the second round of combat training. I will have someone notify me."

"Okay!" Yinyue nodded. "You continue, we'll just wander around."

"Okay." Nagato nodded, then planned to return to the ninja village to get some rest.

After the combat training, there's no need to stay on edge. You have to understand that the opponent he summoned in the secret realm was Yin Yue, whose strength was a level above his own.

As a result, Nagato went berserk for several hours, but at the same time, he also became more proficient in using his Six Paths power and the Rinnegan's abilities.

"Sigh..." Nagato felt both pleasure and helplessness as he experienced the pain throughout his Six Paths body.

"Have you encountered anything interesting while you've been out lately?"

Kaguya asked curiously.

Since arriving in the ninja world, she has almost forgotten what the starry sky outside looks like.

Yin Yue shook her head: "No, my clone is still expanding outwards, and we are still far from the location of the next evil god."

"I don't know when this journey will end." Kaguya's eyes revealed helplessness.

Yin Yue gazed at the sky, "Perhaps it will never end. After all, the ninja world still has a long way to go before it can achieve true peace."

"Thanks a lot."

Kaguya said earnestly.

"These are the words I've always said to them," Yin Yue said calmly. (End of Chapter)
