Yugao Uzuki looked on in astonishment at the ten-meter-tall Susanoo skeleton. "Is that an Uchiha clan member?" she exclaimed, shocked. "To have such terrifying power!"
The two Root ninjas, still gripped, cried out in pain, "Who are you? How does the Uchiha Clan have someone this strong?"
Qingcheng, wearing the death mask that only revealed his crimson Mangekyo Sharingan, spoke in a hoarse voice, "Me? Just a departed spirit."
All the Root ninjas were stunned, startled by the sudden appearance of the Susanoo skeleton. However, as Root operatives, they bravely charged at Qingcheng.
Kurenai Yuhi was also completely shocked, but standing within the yellow Susanoo skeleton, she felt a sense of security. She then respectfully asked, "Are you Lord Yongcheng?"
Qingcheng chuckled. "Yes, I am. My good-for-nothing son will be a handful for you from now on."
Kurenai Yuhi said awkwardly, "I'm so sorry. You've been gone for so long, and I still called upon you for help."
The two Elite Jonin from Root, in agony, questioned, "Who exactly are you, and why are you here?"
Qingcheng declared proudly, "My name is Uchiha Yongcheng. I heard you annihilated my Uchiha Clan. Go tell Hiruzen Sarutobi that if anyone dares to bully my son again, I will wipe out their entire clan."
With that, the yellow Susanoo skeleton clenched its hands, crushing the two Elite Jonin into a bloody mess.
Seeing their leaders killed, the remaining Root ninjas began to retreat. Qingcheng formed hand seals and shouted, "Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!"
Qingcheng opened his mouth wide and unleashed four massive fire dragons. The four fire dragons, like colossal beasts, surged towards the Root ninjas.
BOOM! A thunderous explosion reverberated, engulfed in flames and billowing smoke. The fleeing Root ninjas were instantly consumed by the fire, leaving behind only a few charred corpses.
Kurenai Yuhi was stunned, staring at the incredibly destructive Fire Release Ninjutsu and the gigantic Susanoo skeleton. She murmured, "It's too powerful."
Yugao Uzuki was also dumbfounded, gazing at the towering Susanoo skeleton. She gasped, "What in the world is happening? Can Uchiha spirits actually be summoned back?"
Qingcheng looked at the bewildered Yugao Uzuki and stated, "I've been cultivating in the underworld for over twenty years. Now I've mastered the Super Invincible Sharingan, so naturally, I can transcend the realms of yin and yang."
Yugao Uzuki was even more dumbfounded. She said in shock, "So, Senior, you came from the underworld, and your Super Invincible Sharingan gave you this power?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water, seeing this, immediately chimed in, "I've heard that some powerful individuals have transcended to godhood, just like the legendary Sage of Six Paths. Senior, have you perhaps reached that level?"
Qingcheng, seeing the old man trying to butter him up, smiled and said, "The Sage of Six Paths is merely a small fry. In the underworld, that fellow is just a errand boy. I am known as the God of Asura."
Qingcheng deliberately spread this smokescreen to be heard by Hiruzen Sarutobi. The mix of truth and falsehood would make it impossible for others to guess his true intentions, and it would also make Konoha's higher-ups wary of him, knowing the Uchiha Clan still had a formidable ancestor.
"Our Uchiha Clan still has powerful backing. With Hiruzen Sarutobi's timid nature, he'll surely be sweating bullets."
Upon hearing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water immediately broke into a cold sweat and said in a panic, "Lord God of Asura, I, your humble servant, had no idea of your esteemed presence. Please, don't mind my rudeness."
Kurenai Yuhi was also surprised. "Lord Qingcheng told me you visited him in a dream, and I thought he was just missing you terribly. I never imagined it was actually true. I'm truly sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Tell that brat that the heavy responsibility of our Uchiha Clan rests on his shoulders. Tell him to have more children in the future. I'll be watching from the underworld. If he doesn't have twenty children in this life, I won't forgive him."
Kurenai Yuhi immediately broke into a cold sweat and said in a panic, "But I don't have that ability. If possible, I'll persuade Lord Qingcheng to find more girlfriends to try and meet Lord Yongcheng's demands."
Qingcheng smiled. "My dear daughter-in-law, you truly are a generous person. Now, the Uchiha Clan only has my good-for-nothing son left."
Qingcheng then said seriously, "If he doesn't have more children, this family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, will die out. This is all a hardship for you, but don't worry, I will protect you from the underworld."
Kurenai Yuhi said gratefully, "Lord Yongcheng, if you see my father down there, please tell him I'm doing well, and Lord Qingcheng dotes on me very much. Tell him not to worry anymore."
Qingcheng smiled. "I understand. Take care, my dear daughter-in-law."
With that, Qingcheng activated the Earth Travel Technique and burrowed directly into the ground, instantly vanishing from their sight.
Yugao Uzuki said in shock, "The God of Asura is Uchiha Qingcheng's father, Uchiha Yongcheng! This is absolutely mind-blowing!"
Upon hearing this, the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water immediately scolded her, "Little girl, you mustn't casually invoke the names of gods. You must show basic respect."
Kurenai Yuhi was also shocked and said in a panic, "Twenty children? Lord Yongcheng actually wants twenty children, otherwise he won't forgive Lord Qingcheng! What should I do?"
Yugao Uzuki, hearing Kurenai Yuhi's words, instantly looked surprised and said in disbelief, "Even a sow gives birth to seven or eight piglets!"
Kurenai Yuhi immediately looked troubled, but then remembered it was a request from the deceased. She then said, "I can only try to persuade Qingcheng and see if he's willing to accept others. If he can accept it, I wouldn't mind too much."
Yugao Uzuki looked at Kurenai Yuhi's pleading gaze and then said in surprise, "Senior Kurenai, I really can't do it. Having a father-in-law who's the God of Asura is just too terrifying."
The Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water said enviously, "It's a shame I don't have a daughter; otherwise, if she could marry such a divine being, my life in the afterlife would be wonderful after I die!"
Yugao Uzuki looked bewildered and said nervously, "Do people really go to the underworld after they die? Should I try to find a connection for Hayate?"
Kurenai Yuhi nodded and said seriously, "It's absolutely necessary, otherwise life down there won't be easy."
Yugao Uzuki then picked up Hayate's broken body and said sadly, "Hayate, our relationship ended before it even began. Wuwuwu..."
The three rested for a moment, then continued their journey towards the Land of Hot Water.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Qingcheng headed directly towards the Land of Hot Water, intending to find Tsunade. His goal was to acquire either the Sage Body or the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
Qingcheng used the Earth Travel Technique, speeding underground. His progress was even faster than running on the surface.
Qingcheng thought to himself, Kurenai was completely shocked by me just now. If I had known, I would have said forty children. Maybe she would have even introduced her girlfriends to me.
Qingcheng said seriously, "Father, it's not that I'm being disrespectful and intentionally using your name. It's just that Konoha can no longer tolerate our Uchiha. If you're watching from heaven, please take that beast Danzo Shimura with you."
Qingcheng added, "And Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, and that beast Uchiha Obito."
