Seeing Yu Utakata's arrogant demeanor, Uchiha Kō felt a chill run down his spine. He wasn't going to waste any more time arguing with this sissy!
"Look me in the eye! Utakata!" As soon as Uchiha Kō spoke, the Six-Tomoe Sharingan, symbolizing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, immediately appeared.
Utakata looked up for only a second before the Saiken inside him cried out, "Don't look!" But it was too late! Utakata's pupils reflected the Sharingan that were identical to those of Uchiha Kō.
He stood motionless with his hands hanging down, and all the bubbles around him disappeared. In his Mental Space, it was pitch black, and a red moon was reflected in the sky. Upon closer inspection, the patterns on the red moon were the Sharingan of Uchiha Kō.
Utakata tried his best to break through this dark and hard space, but neither his Ninjutsu nor his Taijutsu could break through the spatial barrier.
"Saiken, Saiken! Can you hear me? Lend me your power!" Utakata was no longer composed; instead, he resembled a beggar, pleading for help.
The Saiken wasn't much better off; a figure appeared in its space—it was Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō glanced at Saiken, and Saiken looked back at him. This man's Sharingan must be the Mangekyō Sharingan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control himself and that kid Utakata so easily.
"The Six-Tails Saiken, right?" Uchiha Kō smiled faintly.
"How do you know my name?" it asked, somewhat surprised. Many people called it Saiken because of its shape, which has six tails.
But the number of humans who know its true name can be counted on one hand, and there is absolutely no one like the person in front of me.
Uchiha Kō smiled. "I not only know you, but also Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu..." Uchiha Kō mentioned the names of all the Tailed Beasts.
This surprised and intrigued the Saiken. "Did Kurama tell you that?"
"How could that be! It wouldn't have such good intentions, but that's not the point. The point is I'm here to save you." Uchiha Kō somewhat sarcastically.
"Save me? Are you kidding me? Tailed Beast that becomes Jinchūriki has already lost its freedom. If you kill him, I will also die for a while. What's the point of talking about saving me?" Saiken said with a look of disdain.
"No, no, no, I'll save you from this rookie and put you in someone else's body. And I can promise you that if you cooperate actively, I can give you all nine Tailed Beasts a chance to reunite," Uchiha Kō laughed.
The Saiken remained silent. Uchiha Kō's words, to put it nicely, were a request to leave; to put it bluntly, they would give him a new master and tell him to behave himself. However, there was another layer of meaning: he would gather all the Tailed Beasts and have all nine Jinchūriki live in Konoha.
That's fine, after all, fighting and killing all day long is really boring, so it simply said calmly, "Do I have a choice?"
"It seems not, but your new master is far superior to this sissy in terms of physique." Uchiha Kō sighed.
The Saiken stopped resisting and lay down to one side. Seeing this, Uchiha Kō grinned and withdrew from the Mental Space.
Uchiha Kō hoisted Utakata onto his shoulder. After all, he was still Jinchūriki and the vessel for the Saiken. It was easier to carry Utakata than to directly capture the Saiken.
Uchiha Kō carried Utakata and headed back the way they came, towards the dock.
A voice rang out from the shadows, "Mizukage, are you just going to let Uchiha Kō take away our village's Jinchūriki like this?" The ninja's face was contorted with pain.
Karatachi Yagura sighed, "How about you take down Uchiha Kō, and I'll go and retrieve the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?" Upon hearing this, the ninja gritted his teeth and finally sighed.
Karatachi Yagura turned and walked towards Kirigakure, his assessment of Uchiha Kō's danger level rising even higher; this kid was terrifyingly powerful.
Uchiha Kō arrived at the dock quickly. His appearance immediately drew the attention of the Konoha Ninjas, who breathed a sigh of relief and began to gather around him.
"Lord Xiao!"
"Kō Division!"
"Commander of the Owls"
"Lord Hokage"
They said all sorts of things, all kinds of strange things, but what they had in common was that their eyes and tone were mostly filled with awe.
The performance of Uchiha Kō's clones on the battlefield just now amazed them. One of them changed the terrain, another controlled the entire field, and yet another fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone.
"Yes, everyone has worked hard. I will report everyone's contributions truthfully when we get back!" Uchiha Kō smiled.
"My lord, what's going on?" Someone pointed at Utakata on his shoulder with a strange look. Could it be that Uchiha Kō has a thing for men?
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. "This man is spoils of war, don't worry about him. Boatman, let's prepare to set off."
The businessman now realized that these people were all Konoha ninjas! He was filled with remorse; hadn't he just let wolves into his house?
Unfortunately, it was too late. He sighed, hoping that Uchiha Kō wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and that they could just kill him too.
After Uchiha Kō and the others boarded the ship, the boatman ordered them to set sail. The ships traveled very quickly, and in just over two hours, they arrived at the ferry dock.
Uchiha Kō smiled and paid the boatman's fare, but the boatman dared not accept it and quickly waved his hand. Uchiha Kō, saying, "Boatman, you should take the money. It's the rule, and we can't break it. We may be ninjas, but we're still human."
After saying that, Uchiha Kō put the money bag on the ground, turned around and led about 1,800 Konoha Ninjas toward Konoha.
That was too fast, incredibly fast! The battle was quelled in less than two days, with a casualty ratio of 1 to 15, leaving the Land of Water utterly humiliated.
At the same time, the news spread throughout the entire Ninja World in an instant, shocking all nations and silencing them. Sunagakure even sent envoys to seek a permanent alliance between the two countries.
Iwagakure was just about to send troops to intervene, and the meeting had already begun, but as soon as this news arrived, Ōnoki got up and sat down again.
Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't impulsively send troops to Konoha, otherwise Uchiha Kō would probably be turning around and attacking me now.
What he didn't know was that Uchiha had been sitting on the border for two days, extremely annoyed, constantly hoping that Ōnoki would send troops to relieve his boredom, but things didn't go as planned.
"Tsk, I could have been transferred to Kumogakure. What a terrible place this Iwagakure is." Uchiha sighed.
A border ninja, trembling, delivered the meal. "Lord Madara, this is your lunch today." The name, the shadow of the tree, the God of Shinobi, the oppressive aura of the battlefield rose was still very strong.
Uchiha glanced at the roasted lamb, sashimi, and tofu sushi, a smile playing on his lips. He stood up and took the lunch. "What's your name?" he asked, patting the ninja on the shoulder.
The ninja quickly straightened up and saluted. "I am Namikaze Yunmu commoner ninja."
Uchiha nodded, indicating that he remembered. Namikaze Yunmu didn't say much, chuckled, scratched his head, and retreated.
