Those in high positions only truly grow when they understand that they bear the responsibility for the entire village.
The Fourth Raikage, whom he killed in the original world, may have only understood this truth at the moment of his death.
……
Chapter 386: Six Months Later
Yunyin Building.
"Compile and organize all available written records about the Sage of Six Paths. Mabui, I'm entrusting this task to you."
After the conversation ended, Mabuyi, who had just entered, nodded without asking any questions.
Darui, standing to the side, frowned and said, "The idea of the Sage of Six Paths' offspring being reincarnated with chakra sounds like a myth. No, it should be said that it is a myth from the start."
The Fourth Raikage ignored him and looked directly at Yugito.
Among the five great ninja villages, aside from Konoha, Kumogakure's combat strength is arguably the strongest. Even before distributing the tailed beasts, Kumogakure had already planned to capture them.
The Sage of Six Paths existed in an era that was almost mythical, and the history of the Tailed Beasts is equally ancient.
It was at this moment that Killer Bee, who was rehearsing for the concert, finally arrived.
"boom."
Without any hesitation, Killer Bee pushed open the door and rushed in, only to find no one else there.
"The powerful enemy has been scared away! Yeah!"
The Fourth Raikage rubbed his temples. If he hadn't gotten used to it over the years, he probably would have already made his move.
"By, I need your and Yukito's help."
Kirabi turned around and said, "If my brother needs me, I'll do it without hesitation. That's what brotherhood is all about. Yeah!"
Yukito, who was standing to the side, did not speak, because she had been communicating with Matatabi since the beginning.
"So the Sage of Six Paths really existed, right?"
"The old man certainly exists, and even we tailed beasts were created by him using the power of the Six Paths."
At this moment, Yugito recalled the advice Matatabi gave him when he first encountered Uchiha Kumo.
"So... in your opinion, Uchiha Kumo's power had reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths? Was that what you meant back then?"
"It's a very strange feeling, a kind of suppression that comes from the instinct of life. I've only ever experienced this feeling when I was born... the body of the Ten-Tails."
"The Ten-Tails?!"
Yugito was stunned. The entire ninja world knew about the existence of the nine tailed beasts, so what was this so-called ten-tailed beast?
Soon, the voice of the traveler echoed in Yukito's heart once again.
"The appearance of us tailed beasts is all based on the old man's chakra, which was formed by separating and combining the chakra of the Ten-Tails. Perhaps that's why even if that thing is just a shell, it can still make us feel fear."
Yutaka paused for a moment before continuing, "That Uchiha Sasuke is special, but I can't figure out what makes him special. However, it's clear that with combat strength comparable to the old man's, there's no reason for Kumogakure to bother with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yukito frowned deeply.
Although it was hard to hear, she knew it was the truth. When you are weaker than others, you have to endure it. Even when the Third Raikage died from exhaustion, the Raikage had no choice but to endure it.
Moreover... if that person wasn't lying, wouldn't this be an opportunity for the Hidden Cloud Village?
"Yugito, Bee, I need to talk to the tailed beasts inside you two."
The Fourth Raikage's voice rang out, and then, as perfect Jinchūriki, the consciousness of Matatabi and Gyūki took over their bodies.
The two tailed beasts gave an affirmative answer regarding the existence of the Sage of Six Paths, out of consideration for the Jinchūriki.
However, they are not very clear about the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.
As for Uchiha Kumo, Matatabi, who had witnessed the Two-Tails' power, understood immediately: if the opponent made a move, Kumogakure would be destroyed without any possibility of resistance.
Some of what Uchiha Un said has been verified.
The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails retreated, and Yugito followed up by asking, "Since Sasuke Uchiha has been identified as a rogue ninja by Konoha, we still need to consider Konoha's attitude when accepting him."
Darui, who was standing nearby, looked over and said, "Nine years ago we predicted that they wouldn't dare to start a war, let alone now?"
The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice, "The purpose of collecting secret techniques and bloodlines is to ensure that Kumogakure has enough resources to deal with future wars, not to start a war with Kumogakure first."
The plan from nine years ago was too crude. Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi was old; otherwise, if the war had started with Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure wouldn't have stood idly by.
After a moment's thought, the Fourth Raikage said, "Don't worry. Root has been destroyed by that person. As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi is still thinking, he'll know what to do. The pressure won't be too great, maybe not even any."
"Let's leave it at that for now. The Uchiha's joining Kumogakure will happen gradually. You can decide on the specifics of the story, Mabui."
After reaching a conclusion, the group left one after another.
The Fourth Raikage rubbed his temples. Although he had taken this position, he was not one to use his brain.
However, just as Uchiha Kumo said, if one day the Uchiha clan can make Kumogakure reach the level of Konoha in the past, then Kumogakure will want peace, and no one will dare to start a war again.
So what if someone from the Uchiha clan became the Raikage?
Darui would be the Fifth Raikage, and at the age of twelve, having just graduated from the Ninja Academy, he might be a suitable teacher for Uchiha Sasuke.
Bonds aren't formed in a day; he had heard about the Uchiha clan's Sharingan awakening.
Many Uchiha who awakened their Sharingan on the battlefield understood love and then lost it. Only when bonds were forged could the Uchiha truly be considered to have joined Kumogakure.
……
The Hidden Cloud Village arranged accommodation for the Uchiha clan—a house in a decent location, more than enough for five or six people.
After everyone was settled, Uchiha Yun was about to leave.
He came to this world for a purpose, though it was delayed because Izumi was in danger. Now that he was settled, it was time to leave.
"For the Uchiha, the living environment in Kumogakure is much better than that in Konoha. From now on, it's up to you to make your own way."
Yun looked at Quan and said, "If you need that Mangekyou Sharingan, I can help you transplant it, but it's best not to tell anyone about its abilities."
Quan shook his head slightly: "My pupil power is already sufficient. Since the ability of this eye is so formidable, I should just store it away. Besides... I'm not used to using other people's eyes."
After a pause, Izumi looked at Uchiha Yun: "Brother... will he come back?"
Yun reached out and placed her hand on her head: "Although it's not the same world, the different way of development it presents still intrigues me. I'll come and visit often in the future, don't worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun looked at Sasuke again.
"Among the five great ninja villages, Kumogakure is the most skilled in Lightning Release. Your Lightning Release chakra can be well trained here."
Sasuke hesitated for a moment: "Can...I train with you?"
"Ok?"
Yun paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "The difference in levels is too great. I basically won't consider using the Five Elements Escape Technique now, and even hand seals are superfluous for me."
"And... what I'm going to do is too dangerous to take you with me. It's easy for me, but you could easily lose your life."
Without giving Sasuke a reason to refute, the spatial passage opened, and Uchiha Yun bowed slightly to Uchiha Hazuki before disappearing.
……
Two weeks later.
During the past two weeks, Yun went to the Land of Rain and sensed everyone in Akatsuki except for Black Zetsu.
Juzo Biwa was already cold, and the one following Itachi now was Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been tricked by Obito.
Unfortunately, White Zetsu has appeared several times, but Black Zetsu has yet to show up.
Leaf Village, Memorial Monument.
Obito, who emerged from the spatial vortex, habitually swept away the chrysanthemums left behind by Kakashi.
He then stood quietly before Rin Nohara's memorial stone, reminiscing about the past and fantasizing about the shameless days that would follow once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated.
However, a white figure emerged from the ground behind it.
"That guy has shown up again. You shouldn't be here."
Obito turned around: "Black Zetsu sent you? It seems even it is afraid of that bastard."
Four years ago, the sudden appearance of the Uchiha clan allowed him to experience firsthand the overwhelming power of a human.
Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi was easily broken, rendering his Mangekyou Sharingan ability useless, and his eyes were easily gouged out.
Even Madara Uchiha, who was on the verge of death back then, never put such pressure on him.
With White Zetsu's investigative abilities, this matter couldn't be kept secret from Black Zetsu. And since then, Black Zetsu's whereabouts have been kept hidden.
After learning of that person's reappearance during this internal strife in Konoha, Black Zetsu stopped attending meetings altogether, sending White Zetsu to take his place.
"Well... Black Zetsu said that if I do this job well, he'll let my main body stay in the toilet for an hour."
Bai Jue's face showed some excitement: "After all, you know, he had always disagreed with me going to the toilet to stake out the toilet. Although I can't defecate, I really want to know what it feels like to have a bowel movement."
These words made Obito's eyes twitch, and he unconsciously took two steps back.
A toilet stall? Is its head full of poop? No, it would be even happier if it were poop.
"You go first, I'll leave in a bit. The Uchiha clan has already joined Kumogakure, he won't stay in Konoha."
White Zetsu tilted its head, then, eager to return to its hiding place, it sank directly into the ground.
Obito looked around but found nothing in his senses.
He then reached out and slowly wiped the dust off the memorial stone.
He had known Itachi's purpose in joining Akatsuki for a long time. Ever since the news of Sasuke joining Kumogakure came, this older brother had been unable to hold back his desire.
after all……
The eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—this was Itachi's goal, and also his own.
Did it start four years ago? To step into the Mangekyou Sharingan without ever opening his eyes, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan weighs heavily on Sasuke's heart.
But now...
With that guy around, neither I nor Itachi would dare to make contact with him for the time being.
If he were to summon the Gedo Mazo with his second pair of Rinnegan, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan would be disrupted.
Hopefully, that guy won't stay long this time either.
