The Chaotic Underworld

After making several trips over several days, when Minato Namikaze returned, the nearby ninja immediately gathered around him. Clearly, they cared more about what he had encountered in the Underworld.

Even Orochimaru felt such intense excitement for the first time. Exploring a new world was like opening an unknown door—anything was possible.

After Minato Namikaze answered their questions, astonishment appeared on everyone's faces. In such a short time, Uchiha Yū had actually seized a territory. It was truly unexpected.

"That territory can serve as our temporary foothold."

Minato Namikaze recounted everything he had seen along the way, especially the creatures of the Underworld. Soul beasts posed an enormous threat to the living and instinctively hunted them. When they had first descended into the wilderness, they had only reached safe territory thanks to Uchiha Yū's overwhelming strength.

If this group of ninja rashly entered the wilderness, they would surely be wiped out. There would be no other possible outcome.

The heavy responsibility fell upon Orochimaru. Following Uchiha Yū's instructions, he finally nodded lightly and gave an affirmative reply:

"Moving the portal won't be a problem. We only need to recalculate the spatial coordinates. However, since you have already obtained a safe territory, I intend to move some of the experimental equipment there. That will save us from transporting research materials back and forth, which would waste a great deal of time."

Orochimaru's command of time rivaled that of a master time manager. He had no desire to spend his time on meaningless matters like transportation.

Minato Namikaze could not care less about what Orochimaru wanted to do. He was only there to deliver the news, have Orochimaru set the portal within the territory, and instruct the ninja beside him:

"Gather your ninja. The moment the portal opens, enter that territory immediately.
