Tsundere

Yichen possesses the strongest Soul Power, but previously he struggled due to a lack of direction and cultivation methods. Therefore, Yichen remained in the first stage.

However, now that he knows the direction and has experienced the second stage in advance with the help of his Mind's Eye, Yichen is the first of the three to enter the second stage.

With Yichen's current Soul Power, Yichen estimates that as long as he has a complete cultivation system, reaching the third stage in a short time will not be difficult.

However, Yichen didn't plan to continue the research, because Katsuya grasped the basics. He had completed the first step in expanding into a completely new field, which he had summarized himself. The next step was the second step, which he could leave to Katsuya.

This is the advantage of having many disciples; they will serve you when needed.

Over the past three months, Yichen has been going to the temple every three days on average. At first, he needed the help of his Mind's Eye and the Tailed Beast to sense those sounds each time. After a few times, Yichen was able to sense the scattered Soul Power throughout the temple simply by relying on his perception.

On his last visit, with the help of the Little Rhino Dog and the aid of the S-rank Ninjutsu"Mind's Eye, "Yichen was able to clearly discern the Soul Seal on the stone statue.

At the same time, Yichen carefully observed the entire temple, but regretfully discovered that although the temple could imprison the scattered Soul Power inside, it did not have anything like Soul Seal.

However, this only strengthened Yichen's belief that the items in the temple were definitely no worse than the statues, but that his cultivation level was not high enough to sense them.

After a three-month delay, Yichen should return to the village.

However, before returning to the village, Yichen planned to do one more thing.

"Third Hokage, you use Earth Release to prop up this temple, and I'll use Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique to take it away," Yichen said.

Yichen initially only wanted to move the statues, but now he has decided to move the entire temple.

Ōnoki nodded; he was familiar with this, and it wasn't the first time the two of them had worked together.

To counter the White Zetsu, Yichen and Ōnoki installed steel plates under many important buildings in the village; that's how they worked together.

"Earth Release - Earth Style: Rising Earth Technique." Ōnoki slammed his hands on the ground, lifting the shrine and the surrounding land several meters high.

The height was raised by about five meters, roughly the same as the height of the shrine. Finally, Ōnoki thoughtfully separated the shrine, its foundation, and the ground directly.

Yichen only needed to step forward and use the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique to fly away with the temple and its foundation.

However, there are still a few things to take care of.

Yichen first called Little Rhino Dog, Little Chōmei, and Son Goku's Chakra clone to the side.

Yichen said to Son Goku, "Son Goku, we need to separate. You have two choices. First, the seal will remain as it is; I won't close it for you. However, you must agree to the conditions I mentioned last time."

"Second: You will separate a part of your physical body containing your life force, just like Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei. I will take your physical body with me, and you can let it watch over Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei, so that they are not corrupted by me."

"You can choose one, or you can choose both. I hope you choose the second one, so that Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei will be happier."

The two little ones understood what Yichen meant, and before Son Goku could speak, they immediately began to coax and plead with him.

Yichen actually understood Son Goku's thoughts. After Yichen deliberately let it roam free for three months, it no longer wanted to go back to its cage. However, it was too proud to admit it, so Yichen spoke very tactfully, hoping it would make a concession for the sake of the Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei.

Sure enough, Son Goku reluctantly agreed in the end.

While Yichen was discussing matters with the three Tailed Beasts, there were also several other farewells taking place.

Katsuya was thanking Roshi. When Katsuya and Yichen were researching Yin Release, Sheng You had approached Roshi in search of a method for cultivating Yin Release.

Katsuya took a liking to Roshi's Buddhist knowledge. Roshi had studied some Buddhist principles in order to suppress the Four-Tails' mental impact on him. And the stone statue in the shrine happened to be in the shape of a monk.

So Katsuya Roshi. And it's worth mentioning that Katsuya was able to get started thanks to these theories.

Elsewhere, Ōnoki was also giving Deidara and his two companions some instructions. It had been two years since Deidara and his friends graduated, and it was time for them to return to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams.

When Yichen returned after reaching an agreement with Son Goku, he heard Ōnoki roaring at Deidara, "You brat, you better get back and work on yourself. If you dare to cause trouble anywhere, I'll break your legs!"

Yichen was speechless. It seemed Deidara was still the same person. However, compared to the original work, Deidara had lost much of his arrogance.

In the original story, no one in Iwagakure except Ōnoki could suppress him, and Ōnoki was getting old and hoped that Deidara could inherit the position of Tsuchikage. Therefore, Deidara developed an arrogant and fearless personality.

In the original story, Deidara was willing to join Akatsuki because the Akatsuki Organization was full of ninjas as strong as him, which gave him a sense of finding his kindred spirits. Deidara felt that being with everyone in Iwagakure except for Ōnoki was like playing house.

However, this Deidara in this life no longer had that arrogant arrogance. Firstly, there was no shortage of geniuses in Iwagakure, and no one had elevated Deidara to a high position early on.

Secondly, Ōnoki himself did not regard Deidara, who had some personality flaws, as his successor, so the training method was changed.

So the current Deidara is arrogant, but not conceited.

Putting aside other things, quite a few of Yichen's disciples became Quasi-Jonin within two years.

As for Deidara, Ōnoki deliberately suppressed him to hone his character, and even after nearly two years since graduation, he is still only at the Chunin level.

In this team, Kawakita gave Deidara a very strong feeling. Although Kawakita's strength was not revealed, Deidara, as a genius, could still vaguely sense some pressure.

Although Deidara is currently very strong, it is a fact that he has not yet reached the Quasi-Jonin.

Yichen approached Roshi and said, "Senior Roshi, I've discussed it with the Four-Tails. I'll release the seal from its binding effect, and he promises not to harm the people of Iwa ninja or the Land of Earth. So I won't close the seal."

After Yichen finished speaking, before Roshi could reply, Son Goku snorted coldly and then dissipated into Chakra, returning to the Sealed Space.

The next moment, Yichen sensed a violent fluctuation coming from the Sealed Space. He could also faintly hear Son Goku's cry of pain.

Before long, a Son Goku looked much like the previous one emerged from the Sealed Space.

The others didn't understand what had happened, but Roshi could roughly figure it out. Because just as the small Four-Tails was separated, he suddenly felt as if something was missing. He even felt a little dazed for a moment.

That was the life force that was being lost. Fortunately, this time it was the Four-Tails that took the initiative to split, and the part it split off mainly contained its own life force. Roshi was only affected.

Unlike last time when Yichen extracted the Six-Tails, the Six-Tails resisted fiercely, and only a portion was eventually extracted because Utakata's vitality made it easier to extract.

So Utakata died, while Roshi was just dizzy and felt completely drained.

Yichen using Mind's Eye to sense this new miniature Son Goku. Even with his current mastery of Yin Release, Yichen couldn't detect any difference between it and the Little Rhino Dog, Little Chōmei.

This is a good thing, it means that my method of separating the Six-Tails and Seven-Tails is correct.

Yichen then designated another area on the Outer Path Statue Fragment as a dwelling place for Son Goku.

Afterwards, Yichen exchanged a few more words with Kawakita, Kajiyamari, Uchiyama Takuhiro, Wada Akio, and then, under the cover of night, used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to lead a group of people back.

Among Yichen's returning party were Natsuki and Katsuya, who were researching Yin Release; six Genin who were participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams; and three miniature Tailed Beast.

With the Chakra support of Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei, Yichen, despite the hardships of his journey, did not stop and flew directly to Iwagakure.

Considering that the stone statues in the temple might seal away some monsters, Yichen did not place the temple too close to the village, but instead placed it directly in Han's former residence.

Han moved next door to Yichen, leaving his place vacant. However, the infrastructure here was complete, with several layers of underground iron plates used to guard against White Zetsu clone.

After arranging for several Anbu to take turns guarding the temple and protecting Katsuya and Natsuki, who were researching Yin Release, Yichen led the others back to the village.

The village's Barrier Team was startled again after sensing the Chakra of Little Chōmei and Son Goku. Fortunately, this time the Barrier Team was more experienced; they sensed Yichen at the village entrance, so while maintaining normal vigilance, they were less worried.

After completing the village entry procedures, Yichen disbanded the team and went home with the three Tailed Beasts.

Son Goku felt a little awkward when he saw that Kokuō was also wearing the Iwa Ninja forehead protector.

However, Yichen didn't say much. Instead, he registered the tasks for the Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei.

The two little guys helped Yichen persuade Son Goku, Yichen gave each of them an A-rank mission.

During the exploration of the temple, Yichen entered the temple multiple times with the help of the two little ones. Each of them was considered a B-rank Mission.

On the way back, the two little guys helped Yichen move the temple back. Yichen assigned each of them a C-rank mission.

The Little Rhino Dog also had an additional A-rank mission at the beginning.

So now the two little guys have pretty impressive mission records and are getting a lot of rewards. In front of Son Goku, Yichen let the two little guys collect silver and Contribution Points.

Then he encouraged the two kids to go to Iwagakure) to spend money. During the trip, the two kids inevitably gave Son Goku quite a few things as well.

Son Goku initially made various excuses to refuse, but eventually, he had no choice but to accept. Son Goku had no money and didn't want to owe the two little guys a favor. But he had nothing and was extremely upset.

What to do? After returning to Yichen's house, while the two little ones were sorting through the things they had bought that day in the Sealed Space, Son Goku emerged from the Outer Path Statue Fragment and Yichen said, "Tsuchikage, I also need to carry out a mission."
