Beginning to Tally the Spoils

After being backstabbed by Otsutsuki Kaguya, He, Otsutsuki Isshiki, had lived with extreme caution for a thousand years.

Even though this body made him feel incredibly stifled, he never considered switching to another.

After all, mortal bodies were just that.

He had been fed to the God Tree by that lowly servant Kaguya, and this injury wouldn't heal anytime soon.

Therefore, during these thousand years, even though he had countless opportunities to stir up trouble, to feed his Ten-Tails.

He had remained still, just biding his time until his injuries healed.

Once that happened, this planet would be his for the taking.

However, plans don't always go as expected.

What had he just seen?

Kaguya's descendant could use divine arts?!

In that instant, only one thought came to mind...

A perfect body had appeared!

Unlike the reincarnated twins, those two he dared not touch.

But compared to those mongrel descendants, this was a body that could bear his power. He only needed to possess it successfully to regain his peak strength.

Thinking this, he frowned, and whispered coldly:

"The power of this Uchiha is not to be underestimated. With this broken body, I fear I am not strong enough."

After pondering for a moment, he had a plan.

He turned and walked in the direction of the Land of Water.

The boy's shadow clone

reabsorbed Matatabi's chakra into the gourd.

Ignoring the complaints of Matatabi, who had turned into a small cat, he rendezvoused with the shrine maiden Miko and the Sannin.

Walking on the road back to the capital of the Land of Demons, Genmei and Miko were in the center, with the Sannin forming a protective formation about twenty meters away.

After walking for a while, they were nearing their destination.

Sage Shima, on Jiraiya's shoulder, could no longer hold back.

She jumped down and walked towards the boy and the shrine maiden.

Arriving before them, she asked the boy:

"Young man, you are Uchiha Genmei, aren't you?"

Uchiha Genmei looked at her in confusion, and said faintly:

"Yes. May I ask, Toad Sage, is there something you wish to tell me?"

Hearing his reply, Shima eagerly opened her mouth:

"Genmei-kun, the trace of natural energy on you, have you used Sage Arts?"

"Yes, it's a Sage Mode I figured out on my own." Nodding, Genmei faintly replied to Sage Shima's question.

Upon hearing this, Shima's eyes lit up:

"Sage Mode figured out on your own can be a bit dangerous. Our Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode is very mature."

At these words, Genmei stopped in his tracks, He looked at it with interest and said:

"So?"

"So, do you want to sign a summoning contract with us..."

Before it could finish, "No need!"

Uchiha Genmei's resolute voice rang out right beside its ear.

It could hardly believe its own ears.

A ninja had actually rejected a Sage Region, especially the olive branch offered by Mount Myoboku.

It asked in shock:

"Why? We are Mount Myoboku, one of the Three Great Sage Regions!"

"Because you toads don't fit my aesthetic."

"What? Just because of that..." Hearing this, Sage Shima felt it was unbelievable.

But before she could finish, Fukasaku, standing to the side, saw the young man's expression turn cold.

As if sensing something, He hurriedly stopped his wife.

"Enough, dear, let's head back."

Turning to Uchiha Genmei, He said with an apologetic tone:

"My apologies, Shima only acted this way because she saw how outstanding Genmei-kun is."

Then, he nodded toward Jiraiya, And pulled his wife along.

With a poof, They returned to Mount Myoboku amidst a cloud of smoke.

The shrine maiden Miko had remained silent for a long time, only speaking once the Toad Sages had vanished.

She let out a cold laugh:

"Those mon... ahem... summoning beasts have quite the imagination. It's a good thing Your Excellency didn't agree to them."

Staring at Miko, Genmei asked in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

Glancing at the Sannin forming up in the distance, the shrine maiden shook her head.

"Tomorrow, when I am alone with Your Excellency, I will explain in detail."

Uchiha Genmei, seeing this, grew thoughtful.

He nodded in response:

"Very well, we shall meet tomorrow. I will be all ears."

A quarter of an hour later, Looking at the city standing in the distance, The group quickened their pace.

After parting ways with the others, Uchiha Genmei returned to his assigned quarters and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He began to take stock of his gains, Closing his eyes to carefully sense the divine talisman.

Opening his eyes, he exclaimed in pleasant surprise:

"It's actually this kind of benefit! How wonderful!"

Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto was an honest person and hadn't played any tricks.

The information from the talisman told him that it was condensed from divinity.

It had three functions.

First, Under the influence of this divinity, he was now immortal, with no worries regarding his lifespan.

Furthermore, he could use the Divine Talisman to develop dependents.

Just like Hidan, he could bestow the gift of an immortal body upon his dependents.

That was not all.

Because Ame no Oshiho-mimi had successfully completed his final metamorphosis, the dependents would not only possess an immortal body but would also be granted eternal youth.

Currently, the quota was limited; there were only three spots available.

He had already made up his mind; governing Heguang was a necessity.

Setting aside their relationship, in terms of sheer talent, these two were already the greatest geniuses in Uchiha history, second only to the reincarnations of Indra.

As for the final spot, he would see how things played out later.

Besides, this was only for the time being, as there were only three spots.

The information from the Divine Talisman told him that he could use a massive amount of natural energy, or a certain amount of faith, to repair the divine power consumed when Ame no Oshiho-mimi was defeated and fell.

Once restored to its peak, he would be able to hold twelve dependent spots.

Finally, he could use his divine power to sever a twenty-mile radius of land, forming a separate, isolated space under his own control—a privilege granted by the planet itself.

It's a pity that an isolated space also requires a massive amount of energy; there's no point in thinking about that for now.

Let's settle the issue of the dependents first, then consider that.

With a sigh, he cast his gaze toward the panel.

Uchiha Genmei Lifeform Level: LV5 (Beyond Kage) Talents: Divine Talisman (Description omitted) Sharingan - LV5 Dojutsu: Right Eye - Amaterasu, Left Eye - Amaterasu-Omikami Susanoo (Spirit Weapons - Tsumugari Great Blade, Divine Sake Gourd, Yasakani no Magatama) Energy Attributes: Fire, Yin, Lightning Skills: Sage Mode (Human) Onmyodo Incantations (Power used by humans on this land in the past; can amplify techniques) Phantom Body Lucid Lightning Fire Chakra Mode (Fire + Lightning + Yin) Various standard Fire Style ninjutsu and genjutsu Uchiha Style Shurikenjutsu Summoning Jutsu (Meow~! Matatabi contract.) Aura: 264 wisps

The information on the panel made him ponder for a moment.

The two from the Land of Demons were Beyond Kage-level powerhouses, netting him fifty each.

The gap between those at the Beyond Kage level is just too vast. The strong ones are the likes of Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, and Ame no Oshiho-mimi.

The weak ones are like the Third Raikage, who could be killed after being besieged by tens of thousands for a few days.

Uchiha Genmei muttered a complaint.

He looked at his Aura balance.

264 wisps...

He needed to think carefully about how to use this Aura.

It was time to consider the clan; he would start there.
