Late at night.
Yemu Hyuga began putting the idea he had come up with that day into practice.
The so-called Susanoo.
In essence, it was an enormous mass of chakra given physical form.
Then why couldn't Hashirama, who possessed an equally enormous amount of chakra, do the same?
Perhaps he simply couldn't be bothered. After all, the wooden figure he summoned could tear a Susanoo apart with its bare hands.
With that thought in mind.
Yemu began training, first condensing the chakra within his body into a small portion.
He wanted to see whether it would undergo a qualitative change.
Unfortunately, the results weren't satisfactory.
He looked at the glowing ball of chakra in his palm, almost condensed into physical substance. If he secured and preserved it with special materials, he could create a high-quality Chakra Core.
"No, condensing chakra into physical substance is like compressing a gas into a solid."
"It doesn't just require enormous amounts of chakra. It also needs immense pressure to help it along."
"No wonder Hashirama Senju couldn't create armor around himself like Susanoo, even with all that chakra."
"But isn't manipulating force exactly what the Tenseigan excels at?"
Yemu had found his approach.
Simply condensing chakra wouldn't work. He also needed the Tenseigan's power to assist him.
With that thought in mind.
Yemu condensed it again, but this time, ripples spread through his blue, gleaming eyes, making the air above his palm distort continuously.
Soon, a black vortex formed in Yemu's palm.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!
The immense pressure slipped out of control, making the surrounding chairs tremble.
Unlike Chibaku Tensei's gravitational pull.
What Yemu was using now was Repulsive Force, combining repulsion from every direction to create a high-pressure environment.
Soon, as the pressure continued to rise.
Yemu distinctly sensed the condensed chakra inside the black vortex gradually turning into liquid.
And with further pressure, it became solid!!
It worked!!
Having confirmed that his approach was sound, the next step was figuring out how to form armor over his body.
Or condense it into special weapons.
This would be a lengthy process, one that demanded exceptional proficiency in controlling the Tenseigan.
Why was that?
If Yemu wanted to form silvery-white armor over his body, he would have to start while the chakra was liquid.
He would coat his body with liquid chakra, then apply pressure to condense it into armor.
But applying pressure at that point would turn the space around Yemu into a terrifying high-pressure furnace.
Without another force to counteract it, the pressure could easily injure Yemu's internal organs.
"Not bad. Creating some small weapons definitely won't be a problem now."
Yemu looked at the silvery-white Shuriken he had finally condensed after a while, pleased with himself.
This wasn't wasted effort.
Yemu believed that the moment he finished condensing his silvery-white armor would be the moment he declared war on the Shinobi World.
When that happened, whatever Susanoo he faced.
They would be nothing more than plastic bags of different colors to him.
One thrust would pierce right through!
[Tenseigan (evolvable): 60200/100000]
Yemu needed another forty thousand emotion points to raise his Tenseigan to the next level.
It looked like he really would have to show off in the Forest of Death tomorrow.
It wasn't that Yemu wanted to show off. Showing off was simply the most efficient way to earn emotion points.
But where was Qingxue?
Given that girl's usual habits, shouldn't she have come to launch a nighttime raid on him?
Yemu reached out with his senses and discovered that Qingxue wasn't in her room.
That puzzled him a little.
Still, he had left his own unique Black Rod mark on her. By sensing her chakra signature, he could monitor her life force.
From what he could tell.
She should be fine. He just didn't know where she had wandered off to.
As long as that girl didn't cause trouble.
Just as that thought crossed Yemu's mind, he instinctively expanded his Tenseigan's perception.
His expression quickly darkened.
Well, well, well. Now she'd really gone and caused trouble!!
There was nothing he could have done. Condensing the silvery-white weapon had required his complete concentration, so he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings.
That girl was misbehaving again. He would definitely have to give her a thorough lesson with his rod later!
Time rewound to when Yemu had just begun condensing his chakra.
Qingxue Uchiha had originally planned to act tonight.
But then she remembered that Yemu was right beside her, and he would never let her do anything impulsive.
"Yemu... baby Yemu, I'm going out for a bit~"
Qingxue Uchiha crept up to Yemu's door.
When she saw that Yemu didn't react, a mysterious smile curved her cherry-red lips.
The timing, the terrain, and the people were all in her favor!
Ino, let's see how you get away tonight.
You dared to like my man!!
Heeheehee~
Then go to hell!!
A sickly, blood-red gleam shone in Qingxue Uchiha's eyes, and she vanished with a swift Body Flicker Technique.
Late at night.
Dark clouds filled the sky, hiding every trace of moonlight.
Dressed entirely in black, Qingxue Uchiha carried a long blade on her back, her hair pinned up and a black mask covering her face, as though her slender figure had merged with the night.
With practiced movements, she pulled a street map of Konoha from inside her clothes.
It contained an extremely detailed layout, including the hidden positions of ANBU lookouts, marked paths and alleyways, and, most importantly, the rooms where several girls lived.
Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Tenten, and others...
The black dashed lines on the map marked escape routes leading away from those girls' rooms.
The entire map was densely covered with markings that almost no one but Qingxue could understand.
She was no ordinary person.
Or rather, if Yemu hadn't had his cheat.
Yemu would probably have been left trembling in a little dark room by now.
Her past-life experience and training in all manner of elite assassination skills were Qingxue Uchiha's cheat in this life!
Whoosh!!
Qingxue Uchiha activated her Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
She vanished from the rooftop with the Body Flicker Technique.
She easily slipped past the ANBU lookouts within Konoha.
Three tomoe!!
When had Qingxue Uchiha awakened her third tomoe?
Pretty much that very morning.
Honestly, Qingxue had Ino to thank for helping her awaken even greater power.
In that case, let me thank you by taking your head~
Qingxue Uchiha easily...
Well, it wasn't easy.
She had only just approached the Yamanaka Clan's compound.
And the clan detected her instantly.
The Yamanaka Clan was responsible for sensory work in Konoha.
They maintained the Perception Barrier covering the entire village.
How could a clan like that possibly neglect to set up a Perception Barrier around its own compound?
But Qingxue Uchiha didn't have that information.
She didn't know the Yamanaka Clan had discovered her, either.
She simply continued toward the area where Ino Yamanaka lived.
"What's going on? Is that someone from the Uchiha Clan?"
"Doesn't that look like Qingxue Uchiha? She's in the same class as the young lady."
Inside a secret chamber belonging to the Yamanaka Clan.
The clan members wearing sensory helmets detected Qingxue Uchiha's approach and voiced their confusion.
Members of the Uchiha Clan were the easiest to recognize.
The amount of chakra concentrated in their eyes was greater than anyone else's in Konoha.
"Judging by the direction of her Body Flicker Technique, she seems to be heading toward Ino's place. What does she want with Lady Ino this late at night?"
While the Yamanaka Clan's sensory ninja were still puzzling over it.
Qingxue Uchiha had already reached the roof above Ino Yamanaka's room.
According to the information she had gathered.
This woman practiced yoga for a while almost every night before going to sleep.
All to improve her figure.
At that thought, Qingxue Uchiha's stunning profile twitched, and the emotions surging in her eyes became difficult to suppress.
Just as I thought. I really do have to erase her!!
She really does want to steal my precious Yemu~!
Erase her, erase her, erase her!!!
Just as Qingxue Uchiha's emotion points were nearing their critical limit.
Ino Yamanaka's puzzled voice instantly brought Qingxue Uchiha back to her senses. "Qingxue Uchiha, how much longer are you going to hide on the roof?"
"Are you jealous of my figure, so you've come to secretly learn my yoga routine?"
