After Ōnoki signed the agreement, Orochimaru put away the compensation clauses, Uchiha Kō nodded, controlling the Five-Tails Jinchūriki bow his head.
He and Shimura Danzō, and then used Genjutsu on the Five-Tails to put it to sleep. The Five-Tails disappeared, and Han's figure reappeared.
Uchiha Kō kicked Han out, sending him flying back into the Iwagakure Ninja camp. Ōnoki had someone check on Han's condition and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was just unconscious.
He looked at Uchiha Kō, hoping he would return the other Jinchūriki, but Uchiha Kō laughed and said, "Roshi will be taken back to Konoha as a bargaining chip. I will send him back after you have settled your compensation."
After saying this, he signaled the army to retreat. Shimura Danzō helped Uchiha Kō walk at the front of the column, while Ōnoki gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Go back to the village, and... prepare the compensation!" His voice was filled with vicissitudes and helplessness. Although Jinchūriki like Roshi and Han could not defeat Uchiha Kō, they were still like nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
Money can be earned back, but if people are gone, the village's strength is weakened by more than ten percent! He couldn't possibly not understand this principle.
Ōnoki led his defeated ninjas to clean up the battlefield, then headed back to the village without looking back.
Once the Konoha army was out of Iwagakure's sight, Uchiha Kō was instantly exhausted.
Tsunade took Uchiha Kō from Danzo and was relieved to find that Uchiha Kō had simply fainted due to exhaustion from overusing Chakra.
Danzo crouched down and asked Tsunade about Uchiha Kō's condition.
Tsunade said, "My Chakra and eye power were greatly depleted, and my back was severely injured, but I'm recovering and it's not a big problem."
After saying that, she was about to find someone to carry Uchiha Kō when, to her surprise, Jonin the Uchiha Clan took out a stretcher and, under Tsunade's guidance, carefully placed Uchiha Kō on it.
Uchiha Clan ninjas may not listen to others, or even their clan leader, but they always keep in mind the words of Uchiha Kō and his future wife.
Some people even asked Tsunade, "Sister-in-law, how about we get a bigger stretcher, big enough for you and Owl to lie down together?"
Shimura Danzō looked at Uchiha Kō lying on the stretcher with a surprised expression, then at Tsunade, a smile playing on his lips, conveying an "I understand, I understand" kind of meaning.
Tsunade blushed slightly. "No, no need. Um, you're a really nice person." She was a little embarrassed, but seeing that the Uchiha Clan ninja meant well, she didn't say anything else.
The Uchiha ninja nodded, and then four people carried a small stretcher, one person on each arm, walking steadily in the procession.
Orochimaru chuckled, but then Shimura Danzō immediately came over and asked about Uchiha Kō's situation. Orochimaru had a good impression of Danzo.
The fact that Konoha was able to lead so many Konoha troops to the front lines in less than two hours to rescue Uchiha Kō shows that Danzo was also a smart man.
Orochimaru's favorite thing to do was deal with intelligent people. "Danzo, have you heard of the Three Great Sage Regions? Mount Myoboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest."
Shimura Danzō. "I've heard my summoning beast, Baku, say that the Three Great Sage Regions are the pinnacle of summoning beasts, home to three enlightened immortals and various lineages. You mean..."
Danzo's eyes widened immediately, a hint of surprise flashing in them as he looked at Orochimaru, awaiting his reply.
"Danzo is right. Lying before you is Uchiha Kō Owl, the successor of Ryuchi Ryūchi Cave, who passed the White Snake Sage's test, cultivated Sage Mode, and mastered the Ryūchi Cave Sage Art." Orochimaru's tone was filled with envy and admiration.
"Hiss~ Shimura Danzō has made a contribution to global warming." He gasped, looking at Uchiha Kō, and found that Uchiha Kō's value was still rising!
Good heavens! Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode, Sage Art: Wood Release, Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands! Susanoo, Mangekyō Sharingan.
Damn, he suddenly realized that his good buddy Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't all that great after all! But Sarutobi Hiruzen did have a terrifying Ninjutsu: the top-tier one-for-one exchange, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
However, he was no different; Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing Technique, but who would use such Ninjutsu unless forced to the very last moment?
He shook his head. Who cares? Uchiha Kō is Konoha's Uchiha Kō. That's enough! We need to strengthen our connection with Uchiha Kō from now on!
Uchiha Kō was currently unconscious, or more accurately, his body was unconscious; he was somewhat bored in his Mental Space.
Just then, a voice rang out in the Mental Space.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the main quest, 'Breaking through Ōnoki's ambitions,' completion level: SS, reward: 500,000 points, current balance: 780,000."
Additionally, the user is rewarded with Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, which completes the Lesser Sage Body, transforming it into Sage Body. Its original functions remain unchanged, but the effects are doubled. Chakra reserves are increased to 500 calories, and Chakra recovery speed is increased to 5 calories per second. Once Chakra is full, eye power is restored at a 5:1 ratio.
(Sorry, Kakashi. And does everyone really think Kakashi has little Chakra?)
As soon as the system voice finished speaking, Uchiha Kō, though currently in the Mental Space, sensed the changes in his body, with his Chakra absorption speed suddenly increasing.
This was a passive state, which was not noticeable unless you looked closely. Only three minutes later, Uchiha Kō felt his Chakra was full and his eye power was fully restored.
He could have gotten up right now if he wanted to, but being carried felt nice, so he wasn't in a hurry to wake up.
This system is really great! It gives out rewards, and it really does! He remembered that the Sage Body was on the same level as the Eternal Mangekyo, costing around a million, and it was given to him just like that.
About half a day later, the group arrived at the village entrance. Uchiha Kō also got up and twisted his body, his bones making a cracking sound.
Everyone looked at Uchiha Kō as if he were a monster; how could he have recovered in such a short time?
Tsunade covered her mouth, never expecting Uchiha Kō's recovery ability to be so abnormal. It seemed that only her grandfather could compare to him in the history of Konoha!
"Good morning, everyone! Good morning, Tsunade!" Uchiha Kō grinned as he looked at the Konoha ninjas and Tsunade.
"Um, Lord Owl, it's late, it's getting late." Tsunade rubbed her forehead and sighed.
Uchiha Kō looked up and exclaimed, "Wow, I didn't realize time had flown by!"
When the ninjas saw that Uchiha Kō was alright, they all breathed a sigh of relief, their worried frowns turning into beaming smiles.
Some even shouted, "God of Shinobi! God of Shinobi!"
With one person taking the lead, everyone followed suit. Their eyes were filled with fervor and admiration as they looked at Uchiha Kō. With Uchiha Kō around, Konoha's strength would reach an unprecedented level of power!
Perhaps the war would end, just like when the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, Hashirama Senju, was alive. Some of these clan ninja even secretly wished that Osamu were Hokage, given his strength and personality, which everyone had witnessed.
