Chapter 25 Prequel Mission 2: Visit the Xiao Organization

The Third Hokage finally recovered. He looked at Shingon and repeatedly promised to investigate the rumors. This finally stopped Shingon from letting the Nine-Tails out to explain in person...

After sending the two away, the Third Hokage found an Anbu and asked him to investigate the matter.

Based on the Third Hokage's understanding of Mangon, he didn't think that Mangon would casually say something like releasing the Nine-Tails. He guessed that the Fourth Hokage and his wife were probably expressing their dissatisfaction, and that they had sent the two children over just to pass on the message.

Shingon led Naruto back again. On the way back, Naruto seemed very curious about the Nine-Tailed Fox and asked many questions.

"Kyuubi is a fox as big as a hill. It was locked up because it made a mistake." Shingon explained to Naruto.

Mingren nodded, not quite understanding, and asked, "Where is the big fox imprisoned?"

"It's locked inside you," said the truth. "Didn't anyone tell you?"

Naruto shook his head, looking confused.

Zhenyan patted Mingren on the shoulder and praised him, "Mingren is amazing. He can cage such a big fox!"

Naruto looked at Shingo, his blue eyes suddenly shining like the sun after rain: "Am I awesome?"

"Very powerful!" Zhenyan repeated again.

Naruto suddenly chuckled: "Brother Zhenyan, I want to learn how to talk nonsense!"

"And next time we compete, I will definitely not lose to Sasuke again!"

…

The two returned home. Kakashi saw how relaxed they were and relaxed as well. He asked Shingen, "How was it?"

"The Third Master said he would investigate the rumors." Zhenyan briefly explained the situation, "However, I think it would be better if Kyuubi came out to explain it in person."

Kakashi: “…………”

Kakashi never imagined that Shingon went to the Third Hokage to seek justice for the Nine-Tails... and even let the Nine-Tails out to explain it in person? Is this something a normal person could think of?

Should we let the Nine-Tailed Fox come out and explain it with the Tailed Beast Ball? Then, no one will spread rumors anymore...

When Zhenyan left the Four Generations House, it was already late, so he went to the clan leader's house again.

Uchiha Fugaku has returned. Shingon asked about the robbery of Uchiha's goods and also told him about his own findings - it was not Orochimaru who robbed Uchiha, and the Root's investigation results were wrong.

After hearing what Shingon said, Uchiha Fugaku did not seem surprised. He just said that he already understood and asked Shingon not to interfere in this matter anymore.

The problem had already been reported to his superiors, so he didn't think about it any more. After all, Uchiha Fugaku was the clan leader, and it was only reasonable for the clan leader to handle family affairs.

For a while afterwards, Mangon began to be pestered by Sasuke and Naruto to learn mouth-to-mouth communication. Mangon was busy running between the two. He thought that Sasuke, who was more influenced by him, would have more talent in mouth-to-mouth communication, but he didn't expect that Naruto was one step ahead.

At the beginning, Minato Namikaze said that Naruto had no talent for talking. It seems that a child’s personality preferences when he is young cannot determine his future.

Naruto was very happy when he found out that he was ahead in progress. However, within two days, he became depressed again and ate less. After asking, Shingon found out that Naruto lost to Sasuke again during the sparring in school.

Since he was young, Sasuke has taken his genius brother Itachi as his role model. In order to catch up with his brother, he practiced very diligently. However, Naruto had no role model and his parents were not at home all year round, so it was inevitable that his foundation was a little worse.

Shingon thinks that it doesn't matter if the foundation is poor, after all, Naruto and Sasuke have just entered the school, and they can recognize their own shortcomings and make up for them by practicing hard in the future. Shingon thinks so, and also said to Naruto: "It doesn't matter if you lose now, learn from your strengths and make up for your weaknesses, and practice diligently in the future."

"What is 'taking advantage of one's strengths and making up for one's weaknesses'?" Naruto asked.

"It means to first look at the strengths of others, then look at your own shortcomings, and then absorb the strengths of others to make up for your own shortcomings." Zhenyan explained in a simple way.

Naruto looked up at Shingen's beautiful face, and Sasuke's cocky look flashed through his mind. He frowned for a moment, and finally nodded thoughtfully: "I understand..."

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage had already sent someone to investigate the rumors. Because he was worried, he even had an Anbu follow Naruto for two days. After confirming that the seal of the Nine-Tails had not loosened, he finally felt relieved. However, he didn't feel relieved for long before he heard that Shingon was teaching Naruto and Sasuke how to talk nonsense...

The Third Hokage was so worried that his face was covered with wrinkles. The jutsu of using the mouth to persuade others didn't seem to cause much damage, but it was very annoying. Hearing one sentence was a kind of mental pollution...

The Third Hokage thought about it and decided to talk to Shingon.

"Master, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhenyan asked, "Have you caught the person who spread the rumor?"

"Well... that's still under investigation..." Too many people have said this, and it will take time to trace the source. What's more, the most important thing now is to stop the rumors from spreading further.

"I came here this time to talk to you about the matter of mouth-to-mouth communication." The Third Hokage said, taking out a large scroll.

"What is this?" Zhenyan asked curiously.

"This is the Book of Seals." said the Third Hokage.

"Book?" Zhenyan was a little surprised. "Are you going to print my mouth-to-mouth trick into the textbook and teach it to the children in the ninja school?"

Shingon is not a person who keeps his own skills to himself. On the contrary, he is very happy that the ninjutsu he developed can be learned by more people.

The Third Hokage's heart choked again. If all the children in the ninja school learned the art of talking, it would definitely be an unprecedented disaster for Konoha.

"The Sealed Book records the ninjutsu that has been banned by the village since the village was founded." In order to stop Zhenyan's dangerous idea, the Third Hokage quickly stated his purpose, "If the mouth-to-mouth technique is widely spread, it will have a bad impact on the village, so I decided to record it in the Sealed Book."

"Ah?" Zhenyan didn't quite understand. He looked at the Third Hokage and asked, "Will I still be able to use mouth-to-mouth tactics in the future?"

"You can use it. It's recorded here, but I ask you not to spread it widely." said the Third Hokage.

"But I'm teaching Sasuke and Naruto now." Shingon said again.

The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then spoke earnestly: "You are older than Naruto and Sasuke, so you should set a good example."

"Yes." Shingon patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely set an example and make Naruto and Sasuke the most authentic new-era ninjas in our village!"

The Third Hokage: “…………”

The Third Hokage already knew about Shingon teaching Naruto and Sasuke, so he naturally acquiesced. He asked Shingon to come over this time because he was afraid that Shingon would spread the rumors without restraint. Looking at Shingon's performance at this time, the Third Hokage was very glad of his decision today.

"As compensation, you can choose any ninjutsu you want to learn." The Third Hokage added.

Shingen was still regretting that he couldn't develop his mouth-to-mouth skills, but when he heard that he could learn a new ninjutsu, he immediately became excited again.

"Can I choose from here?" Zhenyan asked, pointing at the Sealed Book.

The Third Hokage paused for a moment, looking at the Sealed Book in his hand, and explained to Shingon: "The ninjutsu recorded here, in addition to causing bad effects, is more because many ninjutsu will cause harm to the caster himself."

"Then can I take a look?" Zhenyan was still very curious about what forbidden techniques were recorded in the Sealed Book.

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and opened the Book of Sealed. The reason why the Book of Sealed is called the Book of Sealed is because it is sealed. Without removing the seal, one cannot see the specific practice methods of ninjutsu. One can only see the name of the ninjutsu and a brief description.

Shingon browsed the contents of the Sealed Book with curiosity. The first ninjutsu he saw was the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique". He had seen Itachi use this ninjutsu before, and he originally wanted to learn it for fun, but after understanding the principle of shadow clones, he gave up.

After the shadow clone technique is unlocked, all the experience of the shadow clone will return to the original body. In other words, the work fatigue of the shadow clone will also return to the original body. If this is the case, it is better to let the original body do it directly.

Shingon continued reading and saw another ninjutsu called "Eight Gates of Ninjutsu". Shingon thought this ninjutsu was very cool, but it had very high requirements for physical skills. For him who was only good at magical attacks, he might not even be able to meet the entry requirements, so he could only skip it regretfully.

There are some more ninjutsu later, such as the "Multiplying Detonating Talisman", which seem to be very powerful, but it is also easy to hurt yourself. Shingon is not very interested in this type of ninjutsu, so he skipped it all.

After turning two pages, Zhenyan stopped at a special ninjutsu: "Lotus Tensei?"

Seeing Shingon focusing on this jutsu, the Third Hokage couldn't help but frown, because his former disciple Orochimaru was obsessed with studying these and eventually went astray...

Shingon didn't know what the Third Hokage was thinking. He was only surprised by one thing: "Can the dead come back to life?"

"The Earth Reincarnation cannot bring people back to life. It only forcibly brings the souls of the dead back to the living world. This behavior is against human ethics." The Third Hokage sternly warned Shingen.

Shingon glanced at the inventor of this ninjutsu, and it was a very familiar name - the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama...

Shingon was not very familiar with the Second Hokage, but when he was flipping through the Book of Sealed Things, he saw the Second Hokage's name several times. The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Multiplicative Exploding Talisman were also invented by the Second Hokage.

Having invented so many forbidden techniques, could the Second Hokage in the village be some hidden villain?

Shingon continued flipping through the pages, this time looking at the inventor first, and sure enough, it was the Second Hokage again, and this time the ninjutsu was the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

Flying Thunder God Technique is a space ninjutsu that can teleport. Currently, the Fourth Hokage is the only one in the entire Konoha who can use it. This is also the reason why the Fourth Hokage personally investigated the alien ruins, because most of those ruins are hidden in independent spaces, and only by using Flying Thunder God Technique can you open a gap and enter them.

Zhenyan was very excited. Who hasn’t fantasized about having the superpower of teleportation when they were a child?

However, the difficulty of learning this ninjutsu is "S-level", and learning it also comes with risks. If you are not careful, you will be torn apart by time and space. When Shingon thought of his own talent, he gave up instantly.

Is there no ninjutsu that is easy to learn and practical?

Shingon turned the page again, and when he saw the word "Wood Release", his eyes suddenly lit up. Although the patent of Wood Release Ninjutsu belongs to the Senju clan, since the Ninja World has the Earth Reincarnation Ninjutsu, there may be other ways for him to meet the deceased First Hokage. When the time comes, he can get a Wood Release authorization from the First Hokage and use Wood Release...

Shingon carefully read the ninjutsu related to Wood Release, and was finally attracted by the ninjutsu of "Wood Release: Four Pillars".

Using Wood Release: Four Pillars, you can instantly build a wooden house with a complex structure. If you learn this ninjutsu, wouldn't you be able to live anywhere you go? It's really practical, and the most important thing is that this ninjutsu is only B-level, so it should be easy to learn.

Shingon wanted to choose this ninjutsu, but he also noticed the next one - Wood Release: Lianzhu Family.

Wood Release: Continuous Pillar House is an upgraded version of Wood Release: Four Pillar House. After using it, you can instantly build multiple wooden houses with complex structures.

Shingon, who loves construction, is crazy about it, but the upgraded version of Wood Release: Lianzhujia is an A-level ninjutsu, which is a little difficult.

Zhenyan hesitated for a while, but finally decided to choose the upgraded version. He could spend more time on learning it, and the benefits would be multiplied many times after learning it. If he couldn't make it in the future, he could still support himself by selling the house.

Shingon pointed at the "Wood Release: Lianzhujia" and asked the Third Hokage: "Third Hokage, can I learn this ninjutsu?"

Seeing that Shingon chose Wood Release, the Third Hokage remembered that Shingon had never learned it in the Ninja School and might lack common sense. He then gave Shingon some basic knowledge about Wood Release: "Wood Release is a blood limit unique to the Senju clan, and other ninjas cannot use it."

Shingon nodded to indicate that he already knew that Wood Release was the exclusive patent of Senju and other people could not use it at will.

"I'm not in a hurry. I just think this ninjutsu is very useful and I want to learn it." If he learns it, he will find a way to get the authorization from the first Hokage.

Shingon's statement did not lead the Third Hokage to any unnecessary speculations. After all, it was too far-fetched for Uchiha to know Wood Release. However, Shingon's insistence made him recall some things from his youth.

The Third Hokage's title was Ninja Doctor. He was called Doctor because he was proficient in all kinds of ninjutsu except Kekkei Genkai. When he was young and energetic, he actually tried to challenge Kekkei Genkai...

So, now that he saw Shingon was interested in Wood Release, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional...

If the Uchiha could have more children like Shingon, he might be able to enjoy his old age in peace. But now, the Third Hokage thinks of many things that have happened recently and always has a feeling that a storm is coming...

The Third Hokage let out a long sigh, and finally unsealed the Book of Seals and gave Managa the training method of Wood Release: Renhashira family.

And Zhenyan also left the method of practicing mouth-to-mouth in the sealed book.

After getting the training method of the new ninjutsu, Shingon became busy again. Before the time jump, the chakra drink he wanted to study eventually stagnated because he could not make chakra pearls. Now that Naruto has grown up, maybe he can see the Nine-Tails through Naruto, and then he can ask the Nine-Tails for the production method of the Tailed Beast Ball, and maybe he can make a breakthrough.

Of course, the most important thing is the task assigned by the system. He has been considering it during this period of time and has now made a decision, which is to let the Uchiha move out of Konoha, at least on the surface it should look like the clan has been exterminated. Being "exterminated" means that they can no longer appear in the main storyline in the future, which means that they must avoid the activities of Naruto, the protagonist.

However, it is not easy to achieve this, because according to Black Zetsu, in the future there will be Otsutsuki people invading the ninja world and aliens invading, and the ninja world will most likely unite. At that time, Naruto, as the protagonist, will definitely not be confined to the small village of Konoha.

If Naruto is going to follow the script of intruding into the ninja world in the future, what Shingon has to do is to make sure that no matter where Naruto goes, he will not run into any members of the Uchiha clan.

Shingon had never left Konoha, and he couldn't think of any absolutely safe place where he could not be discovered to accommodate the Uchiha people. But now he had a knowledgeable uncle, so Shingon decided to ask Heizetsu to help him find out.

After asking Bai Jue to pass the message to Hei Jue, Zhenyan was about to go see Mingren, but unexpectedly Mingren ran over excitedly first.

"Brother Shingo, I did it!" Naruto was excited as he entered the door.

Zhenyan couldn't help but wonder: "What did you do?"

"Learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses!" Naruto said with a bright and sunny smile on his face.

Shingon was also very happy for Naruto. He didn't expect that Naruto would find his shortcomings so quickly and make up for them.

"Naruto is great. Brother Shingon will treat you to Ichiraku Ramen." Shingon encouraged Naruto, hoping that Naruto could continue to perform well.

"Yes!" Naruto nodded in agreement immediately, but before eating ramen, he pulled Zhenyan and said, "Brother Zhenyan, don't you want to see the results of my practice?"

"Eh?" Zhenyan didn't react for a moment. He thought that what Naruto meant by "learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses" was about improvement in the aspect of learning from each other. If he wanted to show the results of his cultivation, wouldn't he have to find someone to learn from? And there was no opponent here.

Shingon thought Naruto was going to gesture to the air, but unexpectedly, Naruto clasped his hands together and made a strange seal...

Just as Zhenyan was wondering, there was a bang, and suddenly white smoke appeared in front of her eyes. Naruto disappeared, and in his place stood a cute little loli with blond hair, blue eyes, and two ponytails in the smoke???

And this little Loli has three whisker marks on each side of her cheeks, just like Naruto...

Zhenyan was completely stunned. He stared at the beard mark on Xiaoluli's face and asked in great doubt: "Who are you?"

"Brother Zhenyan, it's me." Little Loli spoke, but it was Naruto's voice...

Shingon pointed at Naruto with shaking hands and asked, "You...how did you become like this?!"

"It was my brother Mangon who taught me." Naruto said. Mangon told him to make up for his weaknesses by learning from others' strengths. After observation, he found that Sasuke was more popular with female classmates than him in the ninja school, so he concluded that compared with Mangon and Sasuke, his biggest disadvantage was his looks. So he tried to develop the face seduction technique in front of him to make up for his shortcomings in appearance.

Shingo's eyes suddenly went dark. He had just promised the Third Hokage that Naruto and Sasuke would become the most legitimate ninjas, but Naruto turned out like this. How could he explain this to the Third Hokage? No, this was not a problem for the Third Hokage, but a question of whether Kushina and Minato Namikaze could accept it...

"Brother Shingon, what's wrong with you?" Naruto asked worriedly.

Shingon glanced at Naruto again and felt that he had encountered the first major crisis in his life. Kushina's Diamond Seal could even tie up the Nine-Tails and beat it up. If Kushina knew that Naruto became like this after listening to him...

Shin's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Naruto, do you know what forbidden techniques are?"

"Forbidden, forbidden technique?" Ming Luoli blinked in confusion. This innocent action, coupled with the image of twin ponytails, was simply so cute that it was almost fatal...

But the truth is that I want to cry but I have no tears...

"The reason why forbidden techniques are called forbidden techniques is because they have great destructive power, and the ninjutsu you are using now is a forbidden technique, and it will be written into the Book of Seals in the future!" In order to make Naruto realize the seriousness of the situation, Shingen exaggerated, "If you use forbidden techniques at will, it will lead to very serious consequences!"

"What, what consequences?" Mingren was a little frightened.

"It will cost lives..."

"Brother Shingon." Just at this moment, Sasuke came over and said, "Come with me to practice today..."

Sasuke was halfway through his words when he suddenly got stuck. He stared at the blonde with blue eyes in the room: "You..."

Just as Shingen was about to explain the situation, Sasuke said the second half of the sentence: "How ugly..."

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, there was a bang in the room. Naruto released his ninjutsu and glared at Sasuke: "Damn it, you annoying guy..."

"My ninjutsu has been recognized by brother Shingon, and it has now become a forbidden technique with extremely destructive power!" Naruto said unconvinced.

"If this is a forbidden technique, then I will be even more powerful..." As he said this, Sasuke began to make hand seals, and it was the same hand seal gesture as Naruto...

Shingen almost suffocated, and he quickly interrupted Sasuke: "Stop!!"

Zhenyan looked at the two of them with great sorrow. These were the two seedlings he had placed great hopes on. How could they grow up in such a wrong direction? ?

"The so-called forbidden techniques are ninjutsu that cannot be used casually." Zhenyan was determined to lead the two Miaomiao back to the right path. "The technique just now, unless it is an extremely urgent situation, it must never be used again!"

"I understand, Brother Shingo." Naruto replied.

Sasuke also said "hmm", put down his hand that was about to seal, and said to Shingon: "Brother Shingon, please practice with me today."

"Brother Zhenyan is going to teach me how to practice today." Naruto also said, and held Zhenyan's hand.

Seeing this, Sasuke also grabbed Shingon's other hand: "Brother Shingon wants to teach me!"

"Teach me!" Naruto naturally didn't want to admit defeat.

Zhenyan was caught in the middle. Seeing that the two guys were about to fight, he held them down with one hand each and said, "Have you forgotten the key points of the mouth-to-mouth trick I taught you?"

"A gentleman uses words rather than fists. We should convince others with reason and virtue." Zhenyan emphasized, "The highest level of persuasion is to make the opponent sincerely convinced."

"Do you remember the secret weapon I taught you? What can you use to make your opponent submit?"

"I really want to refute you..." Naruto and Sasuke said in unison.

Zhenyan nodded with satisfaction: "Now you should convince each other with your sincerity."

After hearing the truth, Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other subconsciously, then each snorted and turned away...

Zhenyan couldn't help but sigh, educating children is really not an easy task!

...

On the other hand, news soon came back about what Zhenyan asked Heijue to help find out.

What Shingo wanted was an absolutely hidden place to house the Uchiha clan members. He wanted to house the entire clan, not just one or two people, and he also wanted to keep them from being discovered. The only places that could meet the requirements were some independent spaces, and now that the Fourth Hokage was searching for alien ruins, there was a risk that independent spaces would be discovered.

Therefore, it can be said that there is no place in the entire ninja world that meets the conditions.

However, Hei Zetsu said that he had a solution, but it was a little troublesome and required a face-to-face meeting to discuss.

Zhenyan and Hei Jueyue meet in the Valley of the End.

"Uncle, did you have dinner when you came here today? Do you want to stay for dinner?" Shingon asked. The previous bicycle craftsman, the matter of the Hidden Mist Village, and the investigation of Orochimaru were all helped by Black Zetsu. Shingon always wanted to thank Black Zetsu but couldn't find a chance. When they met today, he wanted to invite this uncle Black Zetsu to dinner.

"It's not convenient for me to show up now." Although Hei Zetsu is good at hiding, Konoha also has many talented people. If people are aware of his presence, it may affect future plans.

"Then after grandma comes out, I will invite my uncle to have dinner together." Zhenyan also knew that it was not easy for Hei Jue in the past thousand years, so he did not force it.

Black Zetsu was very touched by what Shingen said. Thinking of what Shingen had asked him to do, he talked about the purpose of his visit this time: "I told you before that after my mother was sealed, Hagoromo, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, founded the Ninja Clan, and Hagoromo's younger brother Hamura went to the moon..."

"The moon?" Zhenyan couldn't help but look up at the sky, "Can Second Uncle fly?"

"We used the space formation to go to the moon." Hei Zetsu explained.

Zhenyan's eyes lit up: "If there is a teleportation array, can I also go to the moon?"

Hei Zetsu shook his head: "The teleportation array alone is not enough, a large amount of chakra is also needed to activate the array."

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura inherited the power of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. The amount of chakra they have is more than that of the tailed beasts. Although Uchiha and Senju are also descendants of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, their bloodline is much diluted and their chakra amount cannot be compared with that of their ancestor.

"How much chakra is needed?" Zhenyan was very optimistic. The solution has been found and the chakra is just a matter of quantity.

"It will require at least the entire amount of chakra extracted from one tailed beast." said Hei Zetsu.

The current nine tailed beasts are no longer simply the chakra extracted from the ten-tailed beast. They already have living entities, just like humans. There is a limit to the amount of chakra they can extract each time. Of course, this number far exceeds that of ordinary humans.

If you want to teleport to the moon, you must consume at least all the chakra that a tailed beast can extract at one time.

"Is one enough?" Shinon thought that he had to collect the spiritual energy of people all over the world like condensing the Spirit Bomb, but he didn't expect that one tailed beast would be enough. The tailed beast is much easier to deal with, as Konoha already has one ready-made.

Thinking of this, Shingon asked Hei Zetsu again: "When the Six Paths Sage, that is, the eldest uncle, took away the Ten-Tails' chakra, did he write an IOU to the Ten-Tails?"

"I, IOU?" Hei Zetsu felt that there seemed to be a generation gap between him, the elder, and Zhen Yan, the younger, because many times, he could not keep up with Zhen Yan's thoughts, just like now...

"Yes, the IOU." Shingon said, "If we have the IOU, we can legitimately ask the nine-tailed beast to return the chakra."

Hei Jue was silent for a moment, then said, "Probably not..."

"That's a bit difficult. Without the IOU, I don't know if the tailed beasts will acknowledge the debt." Zhenyan was a little distressed, but he soon came to terms with it. He would know if he could get it back after trying.

However, Hei Zetsu was not optimistic. He analyzed the current situation to Shingen: "The tailed beasts are scattered in various ninja villages and sealed in the bodies of Jinchūriki. If the Jinchūriki is captured by force, the Jinchūriki will be in danger of his life, and the tailed beasts will probably resist with all their might."

This is also the reason why the Akatsuki organization did not act rashly. It takes time to confirm the identity of the Jinchūriki, and it takes time to wait for the Jinchūriki to be alone. The Akatsuki organization also needs to recruit talents...

Zhenyan was thinking about another question. He asked Hei Zetsu, "Why is there a risk of life? We are just going to collect a debt, not to commit murder or robbery."

"…because the Jinchūriki dies, the tailed beast will also die." Black Zetsu explained again that although the tailed beast, as a collection of chakra, can be reborn after death, no tailed beast is willing to experience death, not to mention that if the tailed beast is forcibly separated, the Jinchūriki will also die. Therefore, the relationship between the Jinchūriki and the tailed beast is quite delicate. When faced with life-threatening danger, the two are likely to cooperate, which will then be very difficult to deal with.

Shingon had known for a long time that the Jinchūriki would die if he lost the Tailed Beast, but he didn't expect that the death of the Jinchūriki would also affect the Tailed Beast.

However, his plan did not involve taking the entire tailed beast. He just wanted the chakra, not his life.

"The uncle only took away the chakra, so we just need to get it back now." Shingon told Black Zetsu his thoughts, "We won't take the extra, so those tailed beasts won't default on us, right?"

Hei Jue: “…………”

Indeed, as long as the Ten-Tails incarnation of the Divine Tree can absorb enough Tailed Beast's chakra, it can meet the conditions for activating the Infinite Moonlight Reading even if it does not capture the entire Tailed Beast. However, the key is that the chakra that the Tailed Beast can extract each time has an upper limit. If you want to get enough, you may need to absorb it multiple times.

What's more, the tailed beasts are hostile to humans, and if you ask for chakra from them, you will most likely be rejected, and you will still have to fight in the end, so it is better to target the entire tailed beast from the beginning.

"Leave this matter to me. After I go back, I will try to visit the giant fox and see if I can get some chakra back from him." Zhenyan said, and then thought of another problem, that is, where should he put the chakra after he gets it back?

"Can you contact the Nine-Tailed Fox now?" Hei Zetsu asked.

"It should be fine." Shingon said. After so many years, Nine-Tailed Fox shouldn't reject him again, right? Moreover, Naruto has grown up now. If Nine-Tailed Fox still refuses his visit, he can ask Naruto to help him lobby. Facing Naruto, the owner of the house, Nine-Tailed Fox should at least give him some face...

"If you can get in touch with the Nine-Tails, you can use the Outer Path Demon Statue to absorb the Tailed Beast's chakra." said Hei Zetsu.

The Outer Path Demon Statue is the empty shell of the Ten Tailed Beasts left behind after the Divine Tree separated the Nine Tailed Beasts, and it has a suppressive effect on the Tailed Beasts.

But if you want to control the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue, you need the Samsara Eye, and Shingon's current eye is still a magatama Sharingan, which is a bit far from upgrading the Samsara Eye...

Hei Zetsu thought of Nagato of the Akatsuki organization. Nagato's eyes were transplanted with Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan. Now that he has Mangon, he might as well transplant Nagato's Rinnegan to Mangon first.

Shinon was horrified when he heard this. Are all ninja eyes hot-swappable? Can they just dig out and transplant? Don't they consider the matching problem? What if there is a rejection reaction? Moreover, if you want to transplant someone else's eyes, don't you have to dig out your own eyes first?

Zhenyan firmly refused: "Let me see the Outer Path Golem first. If I can't control it, I'll think of other ways."

Anyway, he would never dig out his eyes...

The Outer Path Statue was summoned back from the moon after Uchiha Madara opened the Rinnegan. It is currently controlled by Nagato, who has transplanted the Rinnegan. So if Shingon wants to see the Outer Path Statue, he has to go to the Xiao organization.

Zhenyan has always been curious about the Xiao organization, so she took this opportunity to visit it.

Shingen originally planned to ride a bicycle for this long journey, but bicycles were not yet popular in the entire ninja world. If he traveled by bicycle, it would easily expose his identity, so he had to give up and chose the least conspicuous way of travel - ninja running.

Fortunately, his chakra usage has now become very mature, and he has no problem running for a whole day.

Zhenyan, Hei Zetsu and Bai Zetsu set out together, and their destination is the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization - the Hidden Rain Village.

This was the first time that Shingen had seen a ninja village other than Konoha Village. Although they were both villages, the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha Village had two completely different styles.

From the outside, Konoha Village looks like an ordinary small village located in the countryside, while the Hidden Rain Village is mostly high-rise buildings built with metal pipes, which at first glance look like a modern cyberpunk city.

Seeing the appearance of the Hidden Rain Village, Shingen couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He also wanted to quickly promote the modernization of Konoha Village, but this matter could not be rushed, because Konoha's Ministry of Commerce had only been established not long ago, and agricultural and sideline industries were also in the early stages of development, and the economic foundation had not yet been laid.

However, Shingon has already kept this in mind. When conditions permit in the future, he will definitely help Konoha come up with a modernization plan that suits the village conditions...

Hei Zetsu led Zhenyan all the way to a tower-like building in the center of the Hidden Rain Village. As soon as the two entered the door, a red-haired young man wearing a black robe with red clouds came towards them. The red-haired young man looked a little hesitant when he saw Zhenyan's outfit. He turned around and asked Hei Zetsu, "New member?"

Hei Zetsu nodded without further explanation, and simply introduced to Zhenyan: "This is the Scorpion of the Red Sand."

Scorpion of the Red Sand? Hearing this name, Zhenyan somehow thought of the Scorpion brand bicycle. In order to confirm his guess, Zhenyan asked, "Could the bicycle be made by Brother Scorpion?"

Scorpion was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly.

Zhenyan stepped forward excitedly: "Brother Scorpio, the bicycle you made can actually be driven by chakra, it's so convenient!"

"It's just a simple piece of work." Compared to the detailed puppet, the bicycle is really nothing.

Chakra-driven bicycles can be considered a simple work? Shinon believes that Scorpio is a mechanical genius.

"Brother Scorpio, have you ever heard of a car?" Shinon had not considered custom-making a car before because he knew nothing about the core engine of a car. Now that he had met Scorpio himself, he felt that with Scorpio's mechanical talent, he might be able to build a car driven by chakra...

Zhenyan gave a general description of the car he knew about. After listening to Zhenyan's description, Scorpio felt that apart from the speed advantage, the flexibility of the car was worse than that of the bicycle, so he asked doubtfully: "What do you want this car for?"

"It's convenient for traveling." Zhenyan said, "The most important thing is that it can be used for driving."

"Go for a ride?" Scorpion frowned, apparently unable to understand this impractical function.

Shingon also knew what the ninjas thought about transportation. For the ninjas, other functions were secondary. The most important thing was that it should not affect the combat effectiveness. It was not impossible to have both convenient travel and combat effectiveness.

Zhenyan looked at Scorpion and asked again, "Brother Scorpion, can you do Transformers?"

Scorpion: “???”

"It is to assemble different shapes, such as human shape, car shape, etc. by moving and changing the position of parts." Zhenyan explained.

Scorpion suddenly became thoughtful. The puppet he was researching recently was the Scorpion Amber. The Scorpion Amber was a prone human figure, but with a scorpion tail behind it. He originally installed the scorpion tail in order to pursue flexibility and variety. Zhenyan's words gave him a new idea. Perhaps he could add more changes to the puppet...

"It takes time," Scorpio said finally.

Zhenyan also knew that this thing was very complicated and that it would take time to research it, but he could reserve one first: "If Brother Scorpio makes it, please leave one for me. I don't want a human-shaped diamond, just give me a car-shaped one."

After saying goodbye to Scorpion, Hei Zetsu took Zhenyan to the underground part. On the way, the two met a man wearing a black robe with red clouds and a vortex mask.

When the visitor saw Zhenyan, he was stunned and asked in a very unfriendly manner: "Who are you?"

This voice sounded familiar to Zhenyan. He stared at the masked man again and found his figure and attire familiar as well...

Zhenyan searched his memory and soon he suddenly said, "Are you the Chida brother?"

At first, he wanted to find a craftsman to make a custom bicycle, and he happened to meet a ninja brother in front of the memorial. He asked the ninja brother to help find a craftsman, but the ninja brother never came back. Did he join the Xiao organization?

"Zetu, who is this person?" Uchiha Obito asked Hei Zetsu again.

"A new member." Hei Zetsu said simply. Mangon was a backup he kept, and he didn't want to expose him to Obito. Moreover, Mangon had to return to Konoha, and now he was just temporarily using the identity of a member of the Akatsuki organization.

"New member?" Obito was obviously dissatisfied. He turned to Shingon and asked coldly, "Where did you get your mask?"

"Ah, you mean this mask..." Shingo touched the mask on his face. In order to facilitate his entry into the Akatsuki Organization, Hei Zetsu gave him a set of Akatsuki Organization uniforms. In order not to reveal his identity, he asked for another mask. Hei Zetsu took the trouble and directly took one from Obito's mask library...

So Mango's current outfit is exactly the same as Obito's. The only difference between the two is probably that Mango has a head of smooth long hair behind her head.

"My uncle gave it to me." Shinon answered Obito's question and then asked, "Chida, where did you get your mask?"

Obito: “…”

Obito's voice sounded like he was gritting his teeth. He asked Black Zetsu, "Zetsu, didn't you tell him who I am?"

In order to intimidate other members of the Akatsuki organization, Obito has been using the identity of Uchiha Madara, and Shingon has been calling him "idiot brother, idiot brother" since they met, and Obito feels that his authority is offended.

"I'm helping the newcomers get familiar with the environment. I'll introduce them later." Hei Zetsu was also losing some patience. He reminded Obito, "The Fourth Hokage seems to have tracked down the Akatsuki organization recently. Be careful when you go out."

Speaking of this, Obito became even more annoyed, because the Fourth Hokage was very active and his actions were severely restricted. This time, the Fourth Hokage somehow discovered the existence of the Akatsuki organization, and now Nagato asked him to come over to discuss how to divert the Fourth Hokage's attention.

Obito left to meet Nagato, while Black Zetsu continued to go down with Shingon, but Shingon was confused. He turned to Black Zetsu and asked, "Uncle, does Chida have any hidden identity?"

"He's the Obito you and I mentioned." said Kurozetsu. He was also very curious why Shingon called Obito "idiot brother".

"Ah???" Shingon was suddenly full of questions. Black Zetsu had indeed told him before that the person who released the Nine-Tails was Obito from the Akatsuki organization, but the first time he saw Obito was in front of the memorial stone in Konoha.

Shinon was a little confused. After sorting out his thoughts, he only thought of one possibility, that is, when he met Obito, Obito had already joined the Akatsuki organization, and Obito appeared in Konoha at that time to cause trouble.

Shinon suddenly became very curious about Obito's experience. Why would a person who returned to Konoha to visit the memorial stone release the Nine-Tails?

Hei Zetsu briefly talked about Obito's experience, which was basically that the girl that Obito liked when he was in ninja school died in the war. In despair, Obito denied the cruel real world, and he wanted to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a new world.

Shingon couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He asked Hei Zetsu, "So... our ninja school doesn't prohibit premature love?"

Children enter Ninja School at around seven years old, which in real life is the age when they graduate from kindergarten and start elementary school!

Hei Zetsu was confused by the question, because he had never been to school either...

"Maybe it's not forbidden..."

Shinon knew about the history of the ninja world and knew that there were many wars in the ninja world. According to statistics in history textbooks, the average age of the population during the Warring States Period was only 30 years old. Such an environment determined that the children in the ninja world would mature precociously, but elementary school students had not even entered puberty. Shinon felt that it was too early for children of this age to fall in love.

What's more, since he came here, he has been working hard to build a new ninja village.

Whether it is developing agricultural and sideline industries, improving villagers' travel conditions, or building houses and roads in the future, these are all things that need to be done in construction, but they are not the fundamental purpose.

The fundamental meaning of construction should be as written on the slogan on the wall of Honghua Village, that is, to ensure that the elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to work, the young have a place to grow, and the widowed, the lonely, the disabled and the sick are all taken care of.

Children in the Ninja School, at their age, should enjoy their childhood innocently.

Falling in love too early is not only harmful to the body but also to the heart. Therefore, for the physical and mental health of the children in the Ninja School, Shingon decided to report to the Third Hokage when he returned and add a rule to the Ninja School's school rules - no falling in love too early! !
