"Stone Tablet? What Stone Tablet?"

Tsunade immediately inquired.

In her heart, she thought, "Just as I expected."

The Uchiha Clan does indeed possess secrets unknown to them.

but.

This is normal.

Every large family that has been passed down for centuries has secrets that are difficult for outsiders to know, especially powerful families.

The Uchiha was like this, and so was the Hyuga Clan.

only...

The matter of the Stone Tablet is clearly very important; otherwise, Fugaku Uchiha wouldn't have brought it up at this moment.

Given Fugaku's personality, he must Byakugan situation is.

How could Fugaku Uchiha dare to hide it?

He understands Tsunade, but he doesn't understand Kyohiko.

Nowadays, many people think that Kyohiko is more like Hashirama Senju, but initially, everyone thought he was more like Senju Tobirama.

That Second Hokage with extraordinary skills!

Kyohiko is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

He considered it carefully.

"The exact origin of that Stone Tablet is difficult to trace. It's only known that it existed a long time ago, and only those with the Sharingan can decipher some of the inscriptions, so it must have been passed down from our ancestors..."

Fugaku slowly recounted the above content.

Tsunade frowned slightly.

Is it only the Sharingan that can decipher this?

If this is true, then only the Uchiha Clan can corroborate what Fugaku said; outsiders have no way of knowing whether it's true or false.

so.

Whether it's true or false, she can only take it as a rumor.

After Fugaku finished speaking, she seemed to be deep in thought.

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"Yes, it is said that Madara Uchiha and his brother awakened this kind of eye, but currently, no one in our Uchiha Clan possesses this power."

Fugaku sighed.

Tsunade asked, "It's not written up here, so how do you Awakening these eyes?"

"No, otherwise our clan wouldn't be completely wiped out. But clearly, the person behind this has a plan, and I now have some guesses."

Fugaku said.

Tsunade smiled slightly and said, "Extreme emotional stimulation?"

"Yes, Kyohiko's keen observation and insightful observation truly reminded me."

Fugaku looked ashamed.

but.

He added, "By working backward from the results, we can verify a lot of the clan's history. In the past, there have been instances of family members killing each other within our clan."

"For the sake of a pair of eyes... how pathetic."

Tsunade sighed softly.

Not only were there members of the Uchiha Clan in the past, but also Obito Uchiha and that old woman in the present.

She paused for a few seconds, then said, "Fugaku, you must have already thought of a way, right?"

"This... nothing can escape your notice. Yes, I did have my suspicions before, but I simply cannot accept the killing of one's own family, which is why the inscription on the Stone Tablet has always been sealed."

Fugaku a wry smile.

The patriarchs and elders of the past did the same thing.

A family cannot prosper if it fights with its members.

Tsunade nodded.

Fugaku's behavior at least shows that he values his family.

Those who value something have weaknesses; they won't easily do something that could lead to the extinction of their clan, at least—

To awaken Obito Awakening, such a dangerous measure was taken...

Fugaku was clearly not a fool.

Her direction changed.

"Fugaku, if I had to guess, who do you think is most likely the mastermind behind this?"

"This..."

Fugaku hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "My opinion may seem absurd, but I think the pool of candidates is actually quite small."

"Ban? But he's dead. My grandfather and Second Grandfather confirmed that."

Tsunade said.

She also suspected Madara Uchiha, but how could a dead person once again control the course of events in the Shinobi World?

This is clearly unreasonable.

Fugaku shook his head. "Not necessarily."

"Oh?"

Tsunade suddenly turned her head.

She realized that what Fugaku was about to say might concern a secret of the Uchiha Clan.

Fugaku took a deep breath and said, "In our Uchiha Clan, there is a forbidden technique called ' Izanagi,' which is the ultimate Genjutsu. It allows one to revert to a state from a certain point in time by sacrificing their sight."

"What?"

Tsunade was incredulous and took a long time to recover.

After a long silence, she finally said, "Impossible! How could such a technique exist in the world? Besides, my Second Grandfather stayed by Ban's side for a very long time..."

"I don't know about that, since I don't have the Mangekyō Sharingan and don't know Madara's situation."

Fugaku shook his head.

After a long silence, Tsunade asked, "Fugaku, can I trust you?"

"The future of the Uchiha Clan rests on my shoulders. I dare not deceive you; otherwise, I could have simply not told you about the existence of ' Izanagi.'"

Fugaku said sincerely.

Tsunade said, "Madara..."

She could hardly believe that Madara Uchiha from back then was still alive.

Even her grandfather is dead!

She frowned.

"Fugaku, thank you for your information. Izanagi is a secret technique of your clan, and we have no right to interfere. However, we hope you can consider how Madara, if he were truly still alive back then, would have avoided death for such a long period of time."

The time Senju Tobirama was definitely not short...

Fugaku nodded solemnly.

"To be honest with you, Madara may not have any feelings left for the Uchiha Clan. He might even hate us Uchiha the core. After all, the previous generation didn't follow us, which he sees as a betrayal."

"I see."

Tsunade smiled gently.

"Fugaku- senpai is showing his loyalty!"

Kyohiko smiled.

Tsunade nodded. "Yes, the Uchiha in a difficult situation right now. Fortunately, Danzo is dead. If Danzo and the Old Man were still in power, the Uchiha might already be under the control of the Anbu."

How do you know I didn't do it?

"You already have an inside man, do you still need to control him?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes.

That kid Shisui, apart from not calling Teacher and not receiving Ninjutsu inheritance, is almost no different from a disciple. The two have an extremely good relationship.

If anything happened to the Uchiha, Shisui would let Kyohiko know first, rather than informing Fugaku, the clan head.

"To be honest, I think Fugaku is really embarrassing. A clan leader couldn't even compete with you."

What's so strange about that?

Kyohiko smiled slightly, "Fugaku- senpai is not bad, but Shisui's vision is higher, that's all."

"Haha, you!"

Tsunade chuckled to herself.

Doesn't this imply that he himself is stronger than Fugaku?

Kyohiko said, "I've always been quite honest and rarely lie."

"Alright, my honest little brother, tell me, what's with your Amber Jutsu?"

Tsunade was somewhat curious.

She had been in too much of a rush earlier and hadn't had a chance to ask about "Amber".

This thing seems to be related to Wood Release, but she has no recollection of it.

Without a doubt, this is another Ninjutsu newly created by Kyohiko.

"The principle isn't difficult; the implementation process is quite complex."

Kyohiko flicked his finger.

Immediately afterward, a sapling grew inside Tsunade, and then the tree split open, oozing drops of sap.

Immediately--

A small piece of Amber appeared.

"For you."

Kyohiko handed it over.

Tsunade it and saw a small insect mixed in with the Amber, which looked strangely beautiful.

She rubbed it between her hands.

It's very hard.

"It's not as sturdy as some Earth Style Ninjutsu, but its material is special, and it has sealing and locking abilities, so it has great potential!"

Tsunade commented.

Kyohiko smiled modestly, "It's so-so. I'm still figuring it out. We'll have to wait and see how effective it is. I'll try the Senjutsu version once I'm more proficient; it might be more practical."

Tsunade rolled her eyes.

If someone else had mastered Wood Release and developed Ninjutsu that even the First Hokage hadn't created, they would have jumped for joy.

result.

This kid is clearly being modest, but it makes you want to punch him, and you can't actually beat him!

She remained silent for a moment.

After a few seconds of silence, Tsunade regained her composure.

"By the way, can Yamato learn this technique?"

The Amber Jutsu has enormous potential and a wide range of applications. It would be best if Yamato could master it as well.

Kyohiko thought for a moment.

He has now mastered the Amber Jutsu quite well, and his skill level has automatically reached the "proficient" level.

The reason is that his foundation is solid enough.

Having reached this stage, his understanding of the Amber Jutsu had deepened considerably.

This technique has many variations. What he has mastered so far is actually the resinous state of Amber. According to his current conjecture, with the addition of different properties, there may be different derivatives.

But its basic functions are actually just these few.

As for resin...

It's not actually that difficult. It's just that when creating the trees, you need to make specific adjustments and add a little bit of a change in the Yang Release to make it produce more resin.

Having thought of this, Kyohiko explained the underlying principle.

Tsunade breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing this.

This kind of integration isn't a complete fusion of natures; it's just a simple combination of Chakra, so the difficulty is generally not too high, given Yamato's aptitude...

It may be difficult to learn now, but it's not impossible to learn it when you grow up.

If one can master this technique, and combine it with other inherited Wood Release Ninjutsu, one's methods will be more diverse and varied, whether dealing with Tailed Beast, Jinchuriki, or ordinary enemies.

"Why don't you teach Yamato too, and let him learn some special Wood Release?"

"Try your best."

Kyohiko nodded.

If he can learn it, he certainly won't be stingy with his knowledge.

but.

"I plan to discuss the Stone Tablet tablet with Orochimaru- senpai."

"What ever."

Tsunade didn't care.

Orochimaru helped her a lot, and now she is honest and law-abiding, with no other hobbies besides doing research. The animals she researches and persecutes are the ones he himself raised.

Even the Old Man can't boss Orochimaru around right now, he can't even see him.

It wasn't that Kyohiko was stopping him, but rather that Orochimaru didn't really want to see him.

She was about to go back to work when she thought for a moment and added, "If Madara is really still alive, we can't hide it from him anymore. It's better to tell him now, but you need to be careful about Orochimaru's attitude."

Although she believed in Orochimaru, she also believed in Orochimaru obsession and desire for immortality.

If such an opportunity were presented to him, would Orochimaru pursue it?

Tsunade is uncertain.

Orochimaru's private research base.

Kazuma skillfully fed each monkey and animal, observing and recording their adaptation to Chakra and experiments.

He has adapted well to life here.

even--

What frightens Kazuma is that he seems to be somewhat enjoying these days of research.

After taking notes, he stood at the door, looked up at the dense canopy of trees, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

If we still can't get out...

He may never be able to leave this place.

Just when he was grieving.

Call out!

A figure burst forth from the void and appeared directly in front of him.

Kazuma was stunned for a moment.

He immediately greeted them, saying, "Lord Orochimaru is resting..."

"I'm awake."

Orochimaru emerged from the cave.

A slight smile appeared on his face, "Kyohiko, every time you come, you always bring me good news."

He bowed slightly to Kazuma and sensibly returned to the cave.

Orochimaru took Kyohiko and walked a little further away.

"I recently studied Ai's physique, and heh, their lineage's physique is indeed special, possessing considerable research value... tsk, what kind of Kekkei Genkai or special physique is it this time?"

He was halfway through his speech when he realized that Kyohiko might not be interested in the research process, so he chose to get straight to the point.

Kyohiko said, "This time it's not about Kekkei Genkai or physique, but a piece of news that's hard to tell if it's true or false. Even I can't determine its veracity for the time being."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru paused, a look of seriousness appearing on his face.

He was very clear about Kyohiko's abilities.

so.

He became even more curious.

"Madara may have escaped death using a forbidden technique called Izanagi, and has lived to this day."

Kyohiko said.

Orochimaru frowned and said in surprise, "Madara?"

Let me start from the beginning...

Kyohiko briefly described the situation.

As Orochimaru listened, he couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.

If the information is accurate, then the process is indeed without any problems.

Spots are the most suspicious.

because...

"To be honest, I once went to look for Madara Uchiha's body."

Orochimaru chuckled. "In the end, I found nothing. I was even thinking that the Second Hokage might have hidden it, since the Second Hokage was the actual creator of the technique I researched before."

"So, there really is no body?"

"It's only one possibility, but the probability is very high. As Fugaku said, there are very few people in the entire Shinobi World who meet all these conditions simultaneously."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile. "Madara is still alive? That's interesting!"

Long-forgotten figures reappear.

The other person's secret...

So alluring!

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"Kyohiko, I told you, you always bring me good news!"

If Ban were truly alive today, there would at least be a way to significantly extend one's lifespan.

How could this not be good news?

He chuckled, "Tsunade actually agreed to let you come."

"Because she trusts you."

Kyohiko remained unfazed, his face neither flushed nor his heart skipped a beat.

Orochimaru chuckled.

However, he didn't mock; after laughing, he fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Orochimaru said, "Even if Madara is still alive, he's probably just barely clinging to life, or, as I suspect, surviving in some special way."

Orochimaru squinted.

"If that's the case, once Obito Uchiha is lured there and his strength reaches a certain level, he might be eaten!"

"Similar to Living Corpse Reincarnation?"

"Perhaps."

Orochimaru nodded.

Kyohiko pondered for a moment.

This statement...

It's definitely wrong, but it's also the easiest for Tsunade and the others to accept, and it will help advance his subsequent plans.

in particular--

Just a reminder of the existence of "Black Zetsu".

"I need to talk to Fugaku again."
