Kurama Yakumo

The six small countries—the Land of Birds, the Land of Bears, the Land of Vegetables, the Land of Honey, the Land of Marsh, and the Land of Forest— were all quietly taken over by Feng.

Because no direct warfare or large-scale conflict occurred throughout the entire period, no trace of invasion and control was left behind.

While the Uchiha of these six countries, are gradually changing things by either taking advantage of the existing chaos in the countries or intervening in the existing conflicts.

Other countries and forces in the Ninja World still viewed the Six Kingdoms through their own lens, considering it merely a normal power struggle within their own small kingdoms, and no one paid any attention.

The daimyo continued their hedonistic lifestyles, indulging in debauchery, while the ninjas remained focused on their missions, treating themselves as mere tools.

Even after the Uchiha, who controlled the Daimyo, completely took control of the country, apart from increasing their interactions with Sunagakure and Kirigakure and reducing their interactions with Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, everything else on the surface continued to operate according to the original trajectory, maintaining normal interactions with various countries and ninja villages.

To outsiders, this situation simply appears as a change in the country's power structure, with higher-ups choosing to interact more with a particular ninja village based on personal preference—a perfectly normal occurrence in the Ninja World.

Furthermore, Feng has temporarily prevented the Land of Whirlpools from having any excessive contact with the six smaller countries.

This further eliminates the possibility of exposure.

Thus, although Feng had secretly taken control of half of the countries and territories in the Ninja World, making him arguably the most powerful person in the Ninja World.

On the surface, however, he was merely the ruler of a small country in the eyes of outsiders, whose personal strength was invincible but whose power was weak, and who could only stay in the Land of Whirlpools to carry out reforms and seek development.

However, what Feng didn't expect was that while his subordinates hadn't had any problems with major national affairs recently, Hinata Hyūga and Shino Aburame, who were Exchange Student in the Land of Whirlpools whom he hadn't paid much attention to, almost got into trouble.

The two of them weren't at fault; on the contrary, Hinata and Shino behaved very well when they first arrived in the Land of Land of Whirlpools.

Hinata, in particular, didn't cause any trouble after seeing her beloved younger sister Hanabi unharmed.

Unfortunately, some of Feng's subordinates harbored hatred for Konoha, even extending that hatred to Konoha Ninja, and thus launched a preemptive attack on Hinata and Shino.

The person who carried out the attack was from the Kurama Clan, who had a good relationship with the Uchiha Clan and whom Feng had personally brought back from Konoha during the Konoha Crush Incident.

Kurama Yakumo, the only daughter of Kurama Murakumo Kurama Clan. When the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was alive, Kurama Murakumo and his wife perished in a fire in Konoha.

In Yakumo's mind, this was done by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he even wanted to kill her.

Therefore, Yakumo harbored extreme hatred for the Third Hokage, and as time went on, his hatred extended to the entire Konoha.

Unfortunately, the Kurama Clan can't even train Jonin now, and they only have a handful of ninjas. In the entire clan, only Kurama Yakumo has awakened his family's Kekkei Genkai.

So while she was in Konoha, she couldn't do anything but keep her grudges bottled up inside.

However, as Feng brought the entire Kurama Clan to the Land of Whirlpools, he single-handedly defeated three thousand Konoha ninjas and was hailed as the number one Ninja World.

With the Uchiha's backing, Kurama Yakumo suddenly had the courage to take revenge on Konoha again, but little did she expect that Konoha would form an alliance with the Land of Whirlpools the moment she had the idea.

Kurama Yakumo was so angry she almost fainted. Coincidentally, there was a monster of inner demons— Ido— born from resentment, desire, and revenge within her, which amplified Yakumo's negative emotions Tenchi by day.

Therefore, when she met Hinata Hyūga and Shino Aburame, who were Exchange Student, in the Land of Whirlpools, she did not hesitate to take action on the spot.

Since Feng personally handled the Exchange Student with Konoha, the others were unaware of Feng's attitude towards the matter and simply assumed, based on normal thinking, that Feng must have attached great importance to it.

Therefore, when Kurama Yakumo attacked Hinata and Shino, he was stopped by the passing Uchiha and taken to Feng to await Feng's personal judgment.

"Kurama Yakumo?"

Feng frowned as he looked at Kurama Yakumo, Hinata Hyūga, and Shino Aburame in front of him.

Honestly, if the other person hadn't jumped in front of him, he would have almost forgotten about this person who was considered by various Hokage fans to Kekkei Genkai that was a major bug.

A terrifying Genjutsu that can control a person's five senses, and can also materialize everything that happens in the Genjutsu world into real things.

A certain desire was stirring within Feng.

"Hinata, Shino, this is something the Land of Whirlpools failed to do well. As compensation, I will allow you to freely enter and exit our library during your stay in the Land of Land of Whirlpools."

"Someone, take them away."

He first quickly calmed the two little ones from Konoha away.

"As for you, Yakumo..."

"Clan Chief Feng, Yakumo was merely blinded by hatred and lost his reason. Please, for the sake of the past relationship between our two clans, show mercy."

"Your Sovereign, Yakumo is still young..."

As soon as Feng spoke to Kurama Yakumo, Kurama Unkai (Yakumo's uncle), who was with him, knelt down with the other clansmen and pleaded for Yakumo's life.

Upon seeing this, Feng frowned even more deeply.

As for Kurama Yakumo herself, she kept her head down, gritting her teeth and looking ferocious, seemingly in a state of extreme anger.

But Feng felt that the other party was more likely struggling with some kind of inner demon, the monster Ido.

"Shut up!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Uchiha Izumi, who was standing nearby, roared and Body Flicker Technique in front of the Kurama Clan members, kicking each of them to the ground.

Feng then relaxed his brow and smiled.

Did I say I was going to punish her?

Then, he spoke calmly.

"Then, Your Sovereign?"

Upon hearing this, Kurama Unkai, who had been kicked to the ground, got up and asked in confusion.

Even Kurama Yakumo looked up at Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Don't say anything more, see for yourself first."

Too lazy to explain, Feng simply used Genjutsu to show the two what he knew about Yakumo.

Yakumo desperately wanted to be a ninja, but his physical condition was extremely poor, making him unsuitable for the profession.

Therefore, for the sake of Yakumo 'Yakumo health, her parents, as well as Yakumo Kurenai Yūhi, who had taught her, all advised her to give up becoming a ninja.

Unexpectedly, this caused Yakumo to harbor resentment, which grew stronger and gave rise to a demonic monster— Ido.

Later, Ido grew stronger and eventually briefly replaced Yakumo's consciousness one day. Using the Kekkei Genkai of the Kurama Clan, he used Genjutsu to create a fire during the day and killed Yakumo's parents.

Currently, Ido remains dormant within Yakumo's consciousness, growing stronger with the pent-up resentment and desire for revenge that Yakumo has been accumulating. He awaits the day he breaks through Yakumo's mental blockade and completely replaces Yakumo's consciousness.

"This... is the truth behind Father and Mother's deaths?"

When the Genjutsu ended, Yakumo was greatly shocked, and black smoke was faintly rising from his head.

However, Kurama Unkai, who had also witnessed the Genjutsu, showed no unusual reaction, as if he already knew the truth.

"Heh, interesting."

Tsukuyomi!

Upon seeing this, Feng couldn't help but laugh.

However, at the same time, a single Tsukuyomi locked up the newly emerged Ido in a dark room for 72 hours to be tortured.

The inner demons born of mere negative emotions are nothing compared to the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

In an instant, Tsukuyomi ended, and the black smoke that had just emerged from Yakumo's head shrank back into Yakumo's body. Although Yakumo's face was still full of sorrow, the previous ferocity was gone.

"Yunhai, it seems you already knew the truth, why didn't you tell Yakumo?"

Feng looked at Kurama Unkai with some confusion, not understanding why the other party, as Yakumo's own uncle, would keep Yakumo in the dark and subject him to such torment.

Upon hearing this, Yakumo turned to look at his uncle, seeking an answer.

"Lord Feng, this..."

Kurama Unkai clearly didn't want to explain.

But Feng's Mangekyō spun again, giving the other party a subtle hint.

"It was truly a last resort for the sake of the Kurama Clan."

Kurama Unkai immediately stated the reason directly.

"For the sake of the Kurama Clan?"

These words puzzled both Feng and Yakumo.

"You want to use your inner demons to boost Yakumo's strength!"

But Feng understood in an instant.

Yakumo: "Raise the strength?" He was still completely confused.

Yunhai nodded with a wry smile, then continued to explain:

"Just as you said, we want to use the inner demons to enhance Yakumo's strength."

The Kurama Clan was once Genjutsu clan specializing in the Uchiha Clan.

However, they later declined to the Jonin, and they didn't have a single clan member who could awaken their Kekkei Genkai, which is unacceptable for any ninja clan.

But Yakumo appeared, having awakened the family's Kekkei Genkai at a young age. At that time, it could be said that everyone in the entire family suddenly had hope.

Unexpectedly, her physical condition became a burden, preventing her from even being a ninja.

When my brother told the clan the news, the entire Kurama Clan felt like the sky had fallen.

Unexpectedly, just when the Kurama Clan had given up hope and despaired, Ido was born.

Hehe, I must say here that Lord Feng's knowledge of Ido's birth is incorrect.

Upon hearing this, Feng said nothing, but simply smiled noncommittally, signaling the other party to continue.

He's not a die-hard Hokage fan, nor is he a god. For him now, it's an anime he watched more than ten years ago, so it's normal to misremember the plot; there's nothing strange about it.

"In fact, when Yakumo was young, his health condition was even more serious than it is now, almost to the point of being life-threatening."

At that time, Yakumo's father, who was also my brother and the head of the Kurama Clan, sought medical help everywhere to save Yakumo, but Tsunade was not in Konoha and other medical-nin were helpless.

Left with no other option, Yakumo's father sought help from Danzo, Konoha Council of Elders, who then arranged for Orochimaru to treat Yakumo.

While Orochimaru did not completely cure Yakumo, he did stabilize Yakumo's condition and prevent it from worsening.

Unexpectedly, the treatment caused Yakumo severe side effects, making her occasionally irritable, bloodthirsty, and cold-blooded.

Heh, even the usually clear-headed Yakumo hates her own irritability.

So, on one day when he was about to become irritable again, Yakumo unwillingly unleashed the full power of his family's Kekkei Genkai, Genjutsu: Reality Creation, separating all the emotions caused by the side effects within the Genjutsu world.

This led to the formation of the calm, gentle, and dominant Yakumo we know today.

And there's also the second personality—violent, bloodthirsty, and cold-blooded—that's sealed deep within his consciousness, the inner demon you speak of, sir— Ido.

Back then, when Ido briefly emerged from Yakumo's body and used the Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai to create a real fire during the day using Genjutsu, he killed Yakumo's parents.

While fighting against Ido, we inadvertently discovered that Ido and Yakumo were actually one and the same.

It was also during that time that we discovered that Ido could become stronger by absorbing Yakumo's resentment, hatred, and other negative emotions.

Although Ido, who grows stronger through negative emotions, is completely uncontrollable and could potentially harm the Kurama Clan.

But for the Kurama Clan, who can no longer see a future, a clansman who can continuously grow stronger, even with countless problems, is better than nothing at all.

Therefore, we Kumogakure, allowing her to grow up amidst hatred, constantly accumulating negative emotions to fuel and enhance Ido.

This is arguably the only trump card the Kurama Clan currently possesses.

"Uncle!?... And you guys too!?"

With Kurama Unkai's explanation, Feng also finally understood what was going on with Ido. However, Kurama Yakumo was in a tragic situation, looking at his uncle in disbelief, and then at the other clansmen.

He thought Konoha was his enemy, but it turns out... his clan was the one who persecuted him the most.

In a fit of extreme grief and anger, Ido, who had been weakened by Feng's 72-hour torture in the Yakumo Tsukuyomi Space, suddenly became erect again, as if he had been injected with Indian aphrodisiac.

"Damn it! You all deserve to die! Oh my god!"

I'm going to wipe you all out!

As Yakumo roared, he exhaled a cloud of black smoke filled with malevolent energy.

After the black smoke left Yakumo's body, it immediately transformed into a hideous monster with two long horns on its head.

And this is exactly what Ido looks like!

"I understand your thoughts perfectly. Let me avenge you!"

Upon his arrival in the world, Ido coldly surveyed Kurama Unkai and all the members of the Kurama Clan, delivering his declaration of birth in a somber and heavy voice.

But immediately after saying this, it pounced on Feng.

"Hehehehe! Die!"

Genjutsu: Mangekyō Sharingan

And then, that was it; Ido went straight to sleep.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan's Genjutsu, which can even control Tailed Beasts at will, controlling a little girl's second personality would be a piece of cake.

"This..."

Yakumo, who had always been afraid of Ido, the second personality within him, and the Kurama Clan, who regarded Ido as their family's last trump card, all fell silent.

"Sigh, their strength is so weak, I hope their abilities aren't weak too."

Ayaka, come here. Seal this thing back into Yakumo's body. Arrange all kinds of seals, including the Eight Trigrams Seal and the Five Elements Seal.

Feng then spoke.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Ayaka immediately stepped forward and approached Kurama Yakumo.

"Yakumo, from now on you'll follow me, and I'll help you completely control that guy."

Once it's successful, you can cooperate with me on an experiment as payment.

As for those inhuman bastards from the Kurama Clan, you can decide how to deal with them later."

"Izumi, go find me a few cartoonists with really good drawing skills."

When Feng spoke again, it was a final statement on the matter.
