Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

After unleashing high-intensity ninjutsu for half an hour, Nonoyu, a ninja without any bloodline and just a commoner, was the first to experience a ninjutsu breakdown.

Arashi Akito seized the opportunity and used a Shinra Tensei to deflect all the ninjutsu.

He quickly clapped his hands.

Clap!

Sage Art: Myriad Divine Gates!

Dozens of wooden gates of varying sizes, the largest being a hundred meters tall and the smallest being over ten meters tall, fell from above Mikoto's head.

They crashed down on Susanoo.

With Mikoto's current strength, once trapped by the Myriad Divine Gates, she wouldn't be able to break free from their seal.

Seeing this, Mikoto had no choice but to stop attacking and start dodging the Myriad Divine Gates falling towards her.

She dodged about eighty percent of the Myriad Divine Gates, but was still struck by the largest few, which slammed her to the ground.

The Myriad Divine Gates had the ability to seal chakra, and Mikoto's Susanoo began to dissipate.

Arashi Akito teleported multiple times to reach the Myriad Divine Gates and caught Mikoto, whose chakra was sealed.

He then used sealing techniques again, tapping on Mikoto's body to seal her chakra.

Arashi Akito carried Mikoto on his shoulder.

"Got you, little Mikoto!"

"Oh no!"

"Mikoto has been captured by Akito-nii!"

Upon seeing Mikoto captured, Kushina quickly teleported towards Nonoyu's location.

She wanted to take Nonoyu away before Arashi Akito could.

But how could Arashi Akito let her have her way?

"Binding Art Number Sixty-One: Six Rods Restraint!"

"Binding Art Number Sixty-Two: Hundred Paces Railing!"

"Binding Art Number Seventy-Five: Five Pillars Iron Pillars!"

Various binding arts were shouted out by Arashi Akito, flying towards Kushina, intending to seal her.

This severely hindered Kushina's progress.

Allowing Arashi Akito to arrive in front of Nonoyu one step ahead.

With the same operation, Arashi Akito reached out and tapped Nonoyu's body, sealing her chakra.

Arashi Akito reached out and gently ruffled Nonoyu's hair.

"Good job!"

Receiving Arashi Akito's praise, Nonoyu happily narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Thank you, Akito-nii."

With Mikoto and Nonoyu captured, and no hope of turning the tables, Kushina had no choice but to surrender.

She obediently came before Arashi Akito to accept her punishment.

Arashi Akito put down the already blushing Mikoto from his shoulder and released her and Nonoyu's seals.

"I can see that you all haven't slacked off during my absence."

"Therefore, I've decided to reward you with something delicious!"

Arashi Akito clapped his hands together.

Sage Art: Wood Release: Four-Pillar House!

A large villa with a courtyard, several times more luxurious than the small villa created by Yamato, appeared before the four of them.

"Wow ~ So cool!"

"This was made with Wood Release?"

The three girls never imagined that Wood Release could even build houses.

Looking at the large villa in front of her, Kushina remembered what happened last night and instantly understood what Arashi Akito meant by rewarding them with something delicious.

"Let's go, the delicious things are all inside!"

Arashi Akito led Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu into the villa.

He casually released a soundproofing and anti-peeping barrier around the villa.

Soon, various delicate moans and groans echoed within the villa.

"Ah ~"

The next day, today was the day when the students who graduated from the Ninja Academy and became Genin would meet with their Jonin instructors.

Knowing in advance that they were Akito-nii's students, Kurenai, Rin, Shizune, and Ko went to the Ninja Academy together.

Seeing that Shizune wasn't with Arashi Akito today, Rin asked:

"Shizune, Ko, isn't Akito-nii at home?"

"He's not home. He went out with Kushina-nee and the others yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back since."

"I don't know where he went," Shizune said.

Not only did Akito-nii not come back, but even Kushina-nee didn't come back.

It's really strange.

The four girls arrived at the classroom, sat together, and quietly waited for Arashi Akito's arrival.

The class bell rang, and Arashi Akito hurriedly walked into the classroom.

"Good morning!"

"Where's the experimental subject?" Danzo went out to take care of something, and when he came back, he found that his and Orochimaru's life's work—the only experimental subject who had mastered Hashirama's cells—had disappeared.

"I sent him to participate in the Chunin Exams!" Orochimaru said, observing the test tube in his hand.

"Chunin Exams? I reminded you not to let him use Wood Release, didn't I?"

"Of course, I'm not stupid."

"That's the only experimental subject who survived and mastered Wood Release. I wouldn't bear to give him to my dear teacher."

Orochimaru put down the test tube in his hand.

"Or be killed by Arashi Akito!"

Since learning from Arashi Akito last time that in order to possess the ability of living dead people, Yin-Yang Release, one must master the power of the Tailed Beasts;

And in addition, learning from Danzo that Arashi Akito also possessed the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan.

Orochimaru developed a strong interest in the Sharingan and Hashirama's cells, or rather, Wood Release.

As everyone knows, there are only nine Tailed Beasts.

And now, all the One-Tailed to Nine-Tailed Beasts are in the hands of various countries, sealed within Jinchuriki.

Therefore, Orochimaru guessed: Arashi Akito's Yin-Yang Release did not come from the Tailed Beasts.

But from the Rinnegan!

As for what Arashi Akito told him that day about the relationship between Yin-Yang Release and the Tailed Beasts.

Orochimaru didn't think Arashi Akito was deceiving him.

After all, Arashi Akito didn't say he had mastered the power of several Tailed Beasts.

The power of each of the One-Tailed to Nine-Tailed Beasts is different, so what reaction would occur if they were combined?

Therefore, Orochimaru guessed again and again that gathering and absorbing all nine Tailed Beasts would grant one Yin-Yang Release.

According to Danzo, that day in the Hokage Building, Arashi Akito continuously evolved a one-tomoe Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

And even eventually transformed it into a Rinnegan!

Everyone knows that a one-tomoe Sharingan can evolve into a Mangekyo Sharingan.

But is the next level after the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan the Rinnegan?

At that time, the head of the Uchiha clan asked the same question, and Arashi Akito replied:

"Who knows."

Neither affirming nor denying.

Therefore, Orochimaru had another guess, which was that the Sharingan could evolve into the Rinnegan, but it needed some external force!

For example...

Hashirama's cells, or rather, Wood Release!

After all, Arashi Akito possessed Wood Release.

Obtaining Yin-Yang Release through the Tailed Beasts method was not very realistic, because Kurama became Kushina's pet.

But the fusion of Sharingan and Wood Release might be worth a try!

Therefore, for the past six years, Orochimaru has been on the road to digging graves, or on the road to digging graves, in order to verify his conjecture.

He dug up many graves of Uchiha clan members and eventually obtained ten pairs of Sharingan with tomoe.

However, there was only one Wood Release ninja cultivated using Hashirama Senju's cells.

This also led to Orochimaru not daring to experiment casually, for fear of killing the cultivated Wood Release ninja.
