Kumogakure's Collection

Sokai sealed Kinkaku's soul into the body of the Death God.

Yichen asked, "Where is Ginkaku? Can he still be released from the Totsuka Blade?"

Sokai said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he activated Susanoo and released Ginkaku from the Totsuka Blade.

When he was first released, Ginkaku was still alive, but before he could unleash his fury, Yichen and Shion, who were prepared, attacked together, and the double seal immediately restrained him once again.

Then he followed in his brother Kinkaku's footsteps and was also sealed into the Death God.

Yichen sealed the Death God into the Shinigami Mask and said, "Alright, I'll watch over things here. Go to Turtle Island, find the ninja who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and use Genjutsu to control them."

Sokai's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed into Turtle Island.

Yichen and Sokai sealed the souls of the Third Raikage and the Kinkaku and Ginkaku as if no one else was around, a scene witnessed by Killer B.

The despair in his eyes deepened.

Killer B knew that after today, Turtle Island would cease to exist. Even if some members of the Cloud ninja side won in the other wars, it wouldn't matter.

Even if the Cloud ninja eventually drags a few Iwa ninja down with them, it won't make any difference to them.

What they were protecting is no longer there.

With this thought in mind, Killer B, feeling utterly hopeless, launched a suicidal attack on Neji.

He unleashed his most proficient swordsmanship, abandoning all defense and charging towards Neji with a suicidal attack.

Neji's eyes flashed, and he first used his Wheel Rotation Like Intent to stop Killer B's charge, then used an Empty Palm strike to send him flying.

Seeing that he had succeeded so easily, Neji frowned, feeling somewhat bored.

Killer B's swordsmanship posed a certain threat to Neji, at least it was much more effective than Sasuke's childish Taijutsu.

Killer B would be an excellent opponent for Neji, perfect for gaining experience.

Therefore, Neji focused more on improving his combat skills during his battle with Killer B.

But Killer B is practically committing suicide right now, not dodging his attacks at all, making the fight pointless.

It does absolutely no good for honing one's skills.

Neji stopped holding back and began using his Giant Tenseigan to unleash various Dōjutsu, instantly severely injuring Killer B, who was caught off guard.

Then he quickly rushed to Killer B's side and landed several heavy blows on Killer B in succession.

"Bhi~" the Eight-Tails Ox-Demon roared.

As Perfect Jinchuriki, Killer B Eight-Tails sensed the moment his life ended.

However, Killer B had already released it from his body before the battle, so Killer B's death did not directly kill the Eight-Tails.

The Eight-Tails was distracted by Killer B's death, but the emotionless Rock Golem didn't let the opportunity pass.

It slammed its fist into the head of the out-of-control Eight-Tails -Eight-Tails, slamming its head into the water.

Upon seeing this, Yichen, high in the sky, immediately unleashed a large amount of Porcelain Mud, directly enveloping the Eight-Tails in preparation for sealing it.

However, the Eight-Tails' decisiveness exceeded Yichen's expectations. Before Yichen's seal could be formed, his Mind's Eye sensed that the Eight-Tails 'Chakra was fluctuating violently.

Yichen was flying in space, narrowed his eyes. This scene looked familiar. The Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Karatachi Yagura, looked just like this before he died.

Then he was controlled by Obito Uchiha and exploded, so was the Eight-Tails about to self-destruct?

Yichen didn't hesitate at all, just as the Porcelain Mud had already enveloped the Eight-Tails.

So Yichen directly controlled the Porcelain Mud to fly rapidly into the distance.

At the same time, Yichen said to Neji, "Neji, the Eight-Tails is about to self-destruct. Use the Iwa ninja Giant to block it."

Neji also sensed the fluctuations of the Eight-Tails 'Chakra, and he knew how terrifying it would be if the Eight-Tails, with its massive size, were to explode.

So he quickly did as Yichen instructed, making the Rock Golem turn around and stand in front of the fighting crowd.

While controlling the massive Eight-Tails to move away from the group, Yichen released the Porcelain Mud on the other side of the Eight-Tails, preparing to dissipate the force after the Eight-Tails exploded.

Meanwhile, the Porcelain Mud on the side closest to it quickly hardened, forming a thick barrier to prepare for the impending impact.

But the next second, both Yichen and Neji were dumbfounded.

The Eight-Tails, which had been acting very resolutely, suddenly shrank and plunged into the sea.

Yichen stared blankly at the Eight-Tails fleeing into the distance, somewhat bewildered.

What's going on? Weren't you going to die for your Jinchuriki? Why did you run away?

Because he was afraid that the Eight-Tails' self-destruction would affect everyone, Yichen did his best to move the Eight-Tails away.

So now everyone is some distance away from the Eight-Tails, and there's no time to stop it; they can only watch helplessly as it escapes.

Yichen was somewhat embarrassed; he had actually been tricked by a Tailed Beast?

Neji was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Teacher Yichen, should we go after them?"

Yichen said, "Forget it, let's not chase it! It's just an Eight-Tails, and it doesn't even have Jinchuriki anymore. It can't cause any trouble."

Neji nodded but didn't reply. He sensed that Yichen was trying to cover up his embarrassment by saying that.

Just as Yichen the Eight-Tails, another battlefield also came to a conclusion.

That's the direction where Ōnoki is.

The one fighting Ōnoki was the First Raikage. His strength was average, but he was good at using Ninjutsu and was able to defend well against Ōnoki's Dust Release attacks.

Ōnoki's Earth Release was countered by his Lightning Release.

Therefore, although Ōnoki had been in the lead, he was not expected to lose in the short term.

However, he was tricked by Natsuki in the sky.

Natsuki used her Spirit Transformation Jutsu to control his body, slowing his movements down by a beat, and then he was directly hit by a Dust Release.

Natsuki dodged before Dust Release could hit him, and Shion cooperated perfectly, quickly sealing the First Raikage with the Miko Seal.

Seeing Yichen, Yichen pulled the sealed First Raikage to his side, then beckoned Neji over and sealed the First Raikage's soul into the Death God's body as well.

Ōnoki hadn't fought in a long time and was a little excited, but he hadn't had enough of a fight and hadn't warmed up his muscles. After looking around, he charged toward the Second Raikage, who was fighting Han.

Yichen shook his head, not paying any attention.

After a while, Sokai returned and Yichen said, "Teacher Yichen, the Cloud ninja were prepared. The person who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique has already committed suicide."

Yichen nodded. Although this was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

The caster is the biggest weakness of the Impure World Reincarnation, Cloud ninja clearly guessed that the Iwa ninja might target the caster.

In any case, the Cloud ninja summons only their own people, so the caster doesn't need to control them in battle.

So after they finished the summoning, they committed suicide.

After reporting to Yichen, Sokai saw that Izumi Uchiha hadn't dealt with the enemy yet, so he wanted to go and help.

But at that moment, Izumi Uchiha.

While these two Jinchuriki as Killer B and Yugito, their use of Tailed Beast Chakra was far superior to that of Kinkaku Ginkaku.

The two cooperated well, and Izumi Uchiha, they were measured in their movements, unlike Kinkaku and Ginkaku acted impulsively. Although they didn't see any hope of victory, they fought very steadily.

It took Izumi Uchiha a great deal of effort to find an opportunity to use Genjutsu on the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Her Genjutsu Sokai different from the one she had just used on Ginkaku.

Izumi Uchiha used Genjutsu to control the Two-Tails inside the human body as well.

After Izumi Uchiha controlled him, he did nothing else but make him form several special hand seals before the opponent could dispel the Genjutsu.

By the time the Two-Tails Jinchuriki broke free from Izumi Uchiha's Genjutsu, it was too late.

The next moment, his body turned into pieces of paper, revealing the sacrificial offering inside.

Following the method that Yichen obtained from Senju Tobirama, Izumi Uchiha controlled the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to perform hand seals, thus reversing the Impure World Reincarnation.

That's not all. After the Impure World Reincarnation was lifted, the person's soul was supposed to dissipate, but it was successfully captured by Izumi Uchiha using her Giant Sharingan.

Upon seeing this, Shion quickly used the Miko Seal to seal the soul in the hands of Izumi Uchiha Susanoo.

Izumi Uchiha threw the soul to Yichen, and then, very obsequiously, Sokai placed the soul into the Death God's body before Neji do so.

So far, Yichen has collected five of the eight souls that were resurrected by the Cloud ninja using Edo Impure World Reincarnation.

Only the original Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the Second Raikage, and Jiraiya remained.

These three are not the strongest among all the Reanimated Bodies. Yichen's side has already gained an absolute advantage, and the battle should be over soon.

But then, an unexpected event occurred: Jiraiya suddenly abandoned Haku and ran off into the distance.

Seeing Neji immediately chased after Haku to help him.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jiraiya was forming hand seals while running.

The next moment, the scene that had just happened to the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was repeated on Jiraiya.

Jiraiya formed the same Two-Tails Jinchuriki had just used, and then Jiraiya Reanimated Body began to dissipate.

At this point, those capable of stopping Jiraiya's soul from dissipating were still some distance away from him.

By the time Neji arrived, Jiraiya's soul had already Return to Pure Land.

Yichen chuckled and said, "Heh, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, I underestimated him. He actually figured out how to reverse the Impure World Reincarnation."

Neji looked somewhat annoyed, while Haku looked ashamed.

Yichen laughed and said, "Why are you all looking down? He can't escape."

Then, Yichen said to Sokai, "Go to Turtle Island again and find Jiraiya's body."

Sokai had initially felt some regret, but after hearing Yichen's words, his eyes lit up, and he rushed into Turtle Island once more.

Izumi Uchiha also noticed this scene. She felt that it was her carelessness that gave Jiraiya an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so she vented her anger on the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Boom!

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was smashed into pieces by Izumi Uchiha, his face filled with grief and indignation.

He and the last Second Raikage both met the fate of being sealed inside Death God.

After a while, Sokai, who had entered Turtle Island for the second time, ran out excitedly.

This time, he was unusually clever, not only bringing out Jiraiya's body but also capturing a Cloud ninja as a sacrifice.

In front of everyone, Yichen used the Impure World Reincarnation on the Porcelain Platform.

When Jiraiya opened his eyes again, he saw the group of Kage-level experts who had just captured him standing in a circle, watching him.

His expression was priceless, even more awkward than when he was standing among a group of burly men.

Yichen smiled and said, "Jiraiya, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Jiraiya: "Haha, hahaha, haha, ha..."

After sealing Jiraiya, Sokai seemed to remember something and said, "Teacher Yichen, when I used Genjutsu on the Cloud ninja just now, I discovered that many of Cloud ninja suspected that they had been betrayed by Konoha."

"The Cloud ninja believe that Konoha leaked their location to us."

Yichen was taken aback. What were the Cloud ninja thinking?

But Yichen quickly guessed what the Cloud ninja were thinking; only Naruto, an outsider, knew the location of Turtle Island.

For the past two years, the Cloud ninja had remained undetected, but after Naruto's visit, Turtle Island was targeted by Yichen.

Even if Kakashi talks himself hoarse, he'll have a hard time clearing his name of suspicion.

"Hehe!" Yichen laughed, "This is a good thing. We'll kill all the Cloud ninja in a bit, but leave one alive to pretend he escaped!"

"Let him leave here with suspicions about Konoha."

Yichen didn't care about letting one Cloud ninja go. He knew that Konoha had taken in hundreds of Cloud ninja, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

Sokai was a little confused, but Izumi Uchiha answered for him, saying, "Lord Tsuchikage, I know what to do."

The battle was over. Yichen looked at the enormous Turtle Island and began to think about how to deal with the giant tortoise.

From the start of the fight until now, the turtle has not made any aggressive moves.

It only tried to escape after Yichen launched his attack; now the turtle is under Sokai's Genjutsu control again.

After thinking for a while, Yichen said, "Empty everything off Turtle Island, take this turtle to the coast of the Land of Earth, and then kill it."

"Don't touch the things inside it; you never know when you might need them."

Everyone nodded. Ōnoki, Natsuki, Han, and Bai stood guard outside, Yichen led Izumi Uchiha, Sokai, Neji, and Shion into Turtle Island.

There were many people on Turtle Island, mostly children, but they were all lying on the ground. Most of them were under Genjutsu, while a few had been killed by Sokai.

Yichen said to Izumi Uchiha and Sokai, "Quan Luo, you two deal with these people."

"Yes." After responding, Izumi Uchiha and Sokai went to clear out the Cloud ninja; they wanted to find one who had narrowly escaped death.

Yichen, Neji, and Shion then began searching for the treasure left behind by the Cloud ninja on Turtle Island.

The Turtle Island was quite large. Yichen and the other two split up and searched for a while before Neji suddenly pointed in a certain direction and spoke.

"Teacher Yichen, it's over there. There's something buried underground over there."

Yichen's Mind's Eye is primarily good at detecting Chakra, but it is far inferior to Neji's Tenseigan in terms of finding treasures.

After Neji used the Giant Tenseigan, his X-ray vision was able to penetrate any obstacle in the Ninja World.

Yichen arrived at the location indicated by Neji and used Earth Release to dig open the ground.

"Wow! There really is something!" Shion couldn't help but exclaim.

A large pit appeared in front of the three people, with many boxes neatly arranged inside.

After inspecting the boxes, Yichen opened them one by one, revealing various strategic items neatly categorized inside.

It contains various Ninjutsu Scrolls collected by the Kumogakure over the decades, a large amount of money, and the Cloud ninja's core scientific research technology.

Yichen glanced through a few scrolls and even saw some secret stories about the Ninja World recorded by the Cloud ninja, including legends about the era of the Sage of Six Paths.

There were other things Yichen hadn't anticipated, such as a bottle held by Shion containing a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The Cloud ninja have collected dozens of pairs of these Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which they must have obtained in previous wars.

There were also eight bottles containing eight pieces of flesh and blood, with names written on them. Yichen glanced at them and knew that these were the remains left behind by the eight Reanimated Bodies that Neji and Sokai had sealed into the Death God's bodies.

It's estimated that the Cloud ninja deliberately preserved the corpses left outside because they were afraid that once the corpses were completely decomposed, they would lose the medium for performing the Impure World Reincarnation.

Yichen also saw several high-quality Ninja Blade, and next to Ninja Blade were several pieces of Chakra Metal that could be used to make special weapons.

These are all treasures; though few in number, they are all extremely valuable.

As for consumables such as Exploding Tags and Kunai, they were stored in several large-capacity Storage Scrolls.

This large Storage Scroll is disposable, Yichen did not open it for inspection.

Yichen packed all these things up and took them with him, then looked at Neji.

While Yichen and Shion were inspecting the treasures, Neji had already thoroughly examined the entire Turtle Island.

He said, "There's nothing hidden anywhere else."

"However, there is a warehouse used daily, where several corpses of Reanimated Body are kept."

"Apart from that, the items inside are not of high value; they are all everyday items."

Yichen nodded and said, "That's enough. The value of what's here is no less than what we got when we conquered the Kumogakure. This operation is worthwhile!"

After Yichen collected the things left behind by the Cloud ninja, Izumi Uchiha and Sokai had also finished dealing with all the Cloud ninja.

They threw the Cloud ninja corpses into the sea. One of the Cloud ninja had a knife wound in his chest, but luckily it didn't hit his heart.

Sokai handed a bottle to Yichen said, "Teacher Yichen, this is the blood of that living Cloud ninja."

This was collected by Izumi Uchiha. She knew Chiga's abilities and thought this might be useful.

Yichen nodded and said, "Quan Luo is as reliable as ever. You Sokai. When will you ever be more careful?"

Sokai, he blinked innocently.

After leaving Turtle Island, Yichen's gaze fell upon the Six Paths Tools left behind by Kinkaku Ginkaku.

Golden Rope, Seven-Star Sword, Red Gourd, Basho Fan, Amber Purifying Pot.

These five items hadn't been useful in the battle between Kinkaku and Ginkaku and Sokai, but now they've become spoils of war for Yichen and the others.

Of these five items, the Basho Fan is the least useful. At Yichen's level, the Five-Attribute attacks unleashed by the Basho Fan have very little effect.

The Golden Rope, Seven-Star Sword, and Red Gourd is a set of Combination Ninjutsu. Not only is its function singular, but it is also particularly troublesome to make it work, so Yichen doesn't think much of it.

The Amber Purifying Pot is quite nice; it can be used alone, and can seal anything if the opponent accidentally makes a sound.

Surprise attacks often yield remarkable results.

However, the enemies that Yichen needs to deal with using this method at this stage are all very powerful, and it is unknown whether this Amber Purifying Pot can seal them.

Naruto returned safely from Konoha, escorted by Samui and the other two.

After returning to the village, he was eager to find Sasuke to spar with.

However, Kakashi immediately informed him that Sasuke was undergoing surgery and should not be disturbed.

Kakashi then politely invited Samui and the other two to stay in Konoha for a while, but they declined.

The three were worried about Killer B and the others, so they rushed back to Turtle Island without stopping.

However, Turtle Island had already been taken away by Sokai, and after Samui and his two companions searched the sea for a while, they only found some corpses.

The three of them immediately recognized the bodies; they were all children who lived on Turtle Island!

Realizing something was wrong, the three panicked and began to expand their search area.

Instead of finding Turtle Island, the three of them found the Cloud ninja who had been deliberately let go by Izumi Uchiha.

The man was just a child. After waking up in the sea, he survived, but he almost perished in the belly of a fish.

The man tearfully recounted to Samui and the other two what had happened on Turtle Island after they left.

Samui, fighting back tears and fear, asked, "Where is Teacher Killer B? Lord Mabui? Where did Turtle Island go?"

The man said, "I was under the Genjutsu of Sokai Uchiha's genjutsu and was unaware of the outcome of the battle outside."

"But since Sokai Uchiha had time to come in and deal with us, it means that Killer B and the others are definitely at a disadvantage in their battle."

Samui said dejectedly, "How could this be? Didn't we learn the Impure World Reincarnation? With so many Kage Level Reanimated Bodies helping us, how could we lose?"

Karui and Omoi weren't in much better shape either.

In her moment of distraction, Karui lost control of her Chakra and fell directly into the sea.

After Samui and Omoi frantically rescued her, the three of them began to accept reality.

Omoi said, "Killer B- sensei is probably in grave danger."

"Captain, use the Impure World Reincarnation and ask the ancestors!"

Samui was startled by this. "That's right! We can ask our ancestors what happened!"

Samui was the first in the Cloud ninja to learn the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu, and she also possessed the genes of those eight.

So the three of them secretly returned to the Land of Lightning with the wounded soldier, and found a commoner in the Land of Lightning to serve as a sacrifice to perform the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, the Third Raikage's Impure World Reincarnation failed, and they tried to Impure World Reincarnation others, but all attempts failed.

After a moment, Samui said with difficulty, "The Impure World Reincarnation failed. Either they are still fighting, or they have been sealed away."

"The former is unlikely; so much time has passed, the outcome should have been decided long ago."

Samui didn't say anything more, but the other three understood what she meant.

Karui said, "Captain, we have nowhere to go. How about we go to Konoha and find the Hokage?"

Samui was still hesitating when the child suddenly said, "We can't go to Konoha. Lady Mabui mentioned her suspicions before."

"Our location was exposed this time, possibly because Konoha betrayed our intelligence."

Omoi instinctively retorted, "Impossible! Konoha is our ally, and we have Iwa ninja as our common enemy. They wouldn't betray us at this time."

Karui was in a state of confusion and lacked her own opinion. She looked at Samui.

Samui then remembered Kakashi's attempt to persuade them to stay before they left Konoha.

Could it be that Konoha intends to annex our few hundred ninjas who are residing Konoha?
