Yellow Flash's Request

That night, upon hearing the news that the command at the front lines was to be changed, Bing San summoned his small inner circle. This included Hyuga Go, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, the Wind Release squad, and the Root guard squad.

Since Aburame Torune was severely injured and couldn't come, the captain of the Anbu squad protecting Prisoner 3 this time was Aburame Ryoma. Speaking of Aburame Ryoma, his presence was incredibly low. He was skilled at infiltration and assassination, but the downside was that people often forgot about him.

Bing San sat in his seat, leaning forward with his small eyes wide open, and said, "That's the situation. Jiraiya will arrive here in about a week at most. Everyone, prepare yourselves accordingly. Remember to keep this confidential."

Everyone stood and left, leaving only Hyuga Go behind. Bing San looked at his former passionate classmate with a strange expression, somewhat bewildered.

Hyuga Go mumbled, his lips trembling, "Thank you for your trust, Bing San-kun. From this moment on, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Bing San was slightly surprised. What was going on? It was only when he noticed a faint green glow emanating from Go's head that he remembered this young man had been afflicted with the Caged Bird. He was incapable of lying to or refusing the demands of the Main Family.

Bing San stood up and patted his shoulder, saying, "I've always trusted you as much as I trust my own hands and feet. Go!"

Hyuga Go's eyes welled up slightly with tears. After graduating and being assigned to a team, his recklessness and failure to follow orders had resulted in the deaths of all his teammates (Naruto thought, How stupid can you be?). This made him unable to find teammates who trusted him, and he became withdrawn and taciturn.

Before going to sleep that night, Bing San performed his usual draw. He glanced at it and saw a black scroll. It was the first time Bing San had ever seen a black item, and he was very curious. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't understand it at all. Bing San decided to consult Orochimaru about it tomorrow.

The next morning, Bing San's intelligence clone found Orochimaru, who was lazily dressed in a kimono, sitting at his low table eating breakfast.

According to routine, at this time, Bing San would either be training desperately or accumulating Chakra. This was the first time he had come to see him so early in the morning. Orochimaru wasn't particularly surprised; he simply waved for Bing San to join him for breakfast.

Orochimaru was typically gentle and refined, appearing scholarly. He was courteous and polite to everyone, without any airs.

However, once he entered a combat state, he would become bloodthirsty, cold, and cruel.

Compared to combat, Orochimaru preferred to conduct his research quietly by himself.

Bing San walked over, bowed, and began to eat with him. After the meal, Orochimaru finally asked, "Is there something you need, Bing San-kun?"

Bing San nodded and asked, "Teacher Orochimaru, are there any dark-attribute energy beings in the Ninja World?"

Orochimaru looked puzzled, as the Ninja World did not categorize energy into light and dark attributes. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing, so he pondered, "Dark attribute? The currently known attributes in the Ninja World are Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Yin-Yang. However, I know that in the nearby Land of Demons, there is a power called Vengeful Spirit, which is suspected to be a variant of Yin attribute and Natural Energy. In the Land of Wind, there is a power called Dragon Vein, suspected to be a variant of Yang attribute and Natural Energy."

Orochimaru paused and continued, "Natural Energy is an attribute-less Chakra. It can be found everywhere in nature, though it is more abundant in some places and scarcer in others. Some people can absorb this Chakra and fuse it with their own Chakra to form a new power, which is called Sage Mode. However, this power is very dangerous, and not everyone can use it."

Orochimaru stroked his chin and fell silent for a moment before saying, "As for light and darkness, you could call the power of the Dragon Vein 'light,' and conversely, the power of the Vengeful Spirit could be called 'dark.' However, ordinary people cannot utilize these two powers."

Bing San scratched his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "Teacher, what do you think the power of the Tailed Beasts is?"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly. "Tailed Beasts? Tailed Beasts do not have flesh and blood bodies, yet they bleed and get injured. A very strange way of existence. Tailed Beasts are more like pure Yin and Yang attributes.

No, I don't think Tailed Beasts should be simply divided by attributes; they should be a collection of all attributes. However, the proportion of Chakra in each Tailed Beast varies, causing their manifested attributes to differ."

Bing San scratched his head, thinking, Does 'all attributes' include the dark attribute? Seeing Bing San's expression, Orochimaru shook his head and got up to leave. Orochimaru had grown accustomed to Bing San frequently asking him bizarre questions.

Bing San took out the black scroll in his hand and looked at it again and again.

Scroll: Hollowfication (one-time consumable) Effect 1: Opens an inner world deep within the soul. Effect 2: Seals dark-attribute creatures it comes into contact with. Effect 3: Utilizes dark-attribute power to form a special state, Hollowfication.

Hollowfication: Increases all attributes by 15%-300%. Note: The effect gradually strengthens as the degree of Hollowfication deepens. Gradually assimilated by dark-attribute creatures as the degree of Hollowfication deepens.

Bing San felt like this was exactly the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode! As Bing San fantasized about unleashing his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and dominating the battlefield, he felt someone approaching his main body.

丙三's consciousness focused on his main body. He saw a familiar face enter: Minato Namikaze, oh no, it was Yellow Minato.

Bing San frowned and said, "Brother Minato, why are you here? Weren't you with the Iwagakure forces? The name 'Yellow Flash' is enough to make children in Iwagakure cry themselves to sleep!"

Minato Namikaze awkwardly scratched his head and said, "That's just talk. Shimura Unrivaled is renowned throughout the Ninja World."

After a few moments of exaggerated praise, Bing San could no longer stand this effeminate person and impatiently asked, "Is there something you need?"

Minato Namikaze sheepishly scratched his head and said, "Junior Brother Bing San, could I borrow your Summoning Scroll?

It's like this, ever since Kakashi, Obito, and Rin witnessed your display of power last time, they've been stimulated. They've become a bit too aggressive lately, and I was hoping to have them sign their names. I would need you to protect them with a special clone at a critical moment."

Bing San was initially reluctant, but then he thought, this Minato Namikaze was truly a timely savior. He had just been thinking about the Tailed Beasts, and Minato had come to offer an opportunity.

Why did Obito turn evil? Wasn't it because the Third Mizukage foolishly implanted part of the Three-Tails into Rin's body, intending to let the Three-Tails go berserk and strike the Land of Fire?

However, this seemed to be orchestrated by Madara Uchiha. If he attracted the attention of Black Zetsu and Madara, he would be dead for sure.

He needed to play it safe and not take risks. But he wondered if his One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique could be used with this scroll.

Bing San hesitated for a long time. Damn it, he'd take the gamble. Fortune favors the bold. If it worked, he'd be set. Even if it failed, at most he'd lose a scroll; there would be other opportunities in the future.

Thus, Bing San handed the Summoning Scroll to Minato and cautioned him, "Brother Minato, you must keep a close eye on that idiot Obito, don't let him get himself crushed by a mountain."

Minato Namikaze inexplicably took the scroll and thought, How stupid would someone have to be to get crushed by a mountain?

(Obito: You have no idea how stupid I am)
