At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness, illuminating the ravaged village.
On the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan compound, looking out, the once warm and peaceful two-story building has long since turned into ruins.
"According to the villagers, your house was affected by the Nine-Tails ' attack, it seems to be Tailed Beast Bomb..."
Uzuki Yugao spoke softly beside him, while Huayue's smile froze slightly, and the Black Nine-Tails in his Inner world burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Is this what you always call karma? You beat up the Nine-Tails, and then you find your house has been demolished. Tsk tsk tsk, homeless kid."
The lake was a deep blue, Huayue shook her head slightly, correcting Black Nine-Tails's mistake.
"No, it destroyed my house first, so I went to beat it up. Anyway, I'm moving, so what if it destroyed it? As long as the lab downstairs isn't discovered."
After saying that, Huayue turned her head and smiled at Yugao beside her.
"Interested in taking in a homeless person for a few days?"
She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, her thin lips turning red, and her cheeks were already flushed. Her shy appearance was hidden behind the mask, and it took her a long time to answer.
"Alright, just consider it part of the mission. Don't get any weird ideas!"
"Yes, yes, I'm a bit sleepy after tossing and turning all night. I miss my soft mattress. And that crazy Nine-Tails, using the Tailed Beast Bomb for no reason, pshaw."
In Uzuki Yugao's home, the spotless floors, the simple and tidy room, and the various flowers on display are refreshing.
Inside the bathroom, the sound of running water filled the air. Sitting upright in the living room, Yugao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, filled with doubt.
'Wait, how did things turn out like this? How did it become an invitation for a guy to come home?'
Before she could sort out the tangled mess in her mind, the mask covering her face was gently removed, revealing her youthful innocence and natural allure.
"I'm so grateful to have you take me in. Since there's only one bed here, there's nothing I can do. Would you like to share?"
With a whoosh, Yugao got up and tried to escape, talking as she went.
"I'm going to sleep in the living room..."
However, with a tug on the thin gauze around her waist, the three lead weights pulled Yugao directly into the air.
" Sharingan Technique, Third Sword? You!"
Yugao gently raised her head and saw that Huayue's brows were slightly furrowed and her gaze was fixed on her body.
"It's a little smaller than Anko, but that's okay, it's cute even if it's small."
A faint fragrance of grass and trees mingled with the scent of flowers, and their body temperatures gradually rose, warming each other.
After struggling briefly and finding her resistance futile, Yugao closed her eyes tightly, inwardly realizing she had been completely fooled. The curtains completely blocked out the sunlight, leaving only two different breaths.
A steady, reassuring snore versus a restless, hesitant, and repeatedly shifting moan.
Three days have passed since the Night of the Nine-Tails. Bright sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the once bustling but now dilapidated streets.
From time to time, one can hear sorrowful sobs and forced smiles, either at home or in Memorial Stone.
People immersed in grief are always reluctantly pushed forward by time.
Outside Konoha, a tall figure wearing a straw hat looked down at Konoha and murmured softly.
"Chaos is the ladder to progress. The Land of Fire has no need for the existence of two 'jewels'."
Kazuma, whose lips curled into a smile, was overjoyed at the prospect of the future ' Twelve Guardian Ninja ' advocating for the centralization of power and military strength under the control of the Daimyo.
On the Night of the Nine-Tails Fox's death, he happened to travel to Konoha, wanting to see another 'jewel'. He discovered the scraps left behind by the Nine-Tailed Fox, a being that could wreak havoc on the world.
From that moment on, a crazy plan that could overthrow the Land of Fire was born in Kazuma's mind.
Kazuma has been delayed for at least three days since that night, risking being discovered and hunted down by Konoha ninjas, in order to collect the Nine-Tails' scattered chakra.
Kazuma is a highly learned man who is destined to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. He is knowledgeable in Sealing Jutsu and has some understanding of Jinchūriki.
"Now, I hold the future of Wano Country firmly in my hands. As long as I wait patiently for the seed to sprout, I can take the entire Land of Fire, no, the entire world into my grasp."
With a glint in his eyes, he used the Nine-Tails Chakra to create a Pseudo-Jinchūriki. As long as he could use the Pseudo-Jinchūriki to resonate with the Nine-Tails, he could destroy the entire Konoha.
By then, with the Tailed Beast in his grasp, he could easily become the shogun of the Land of Fire, or even the future daimyo...
Without a doubt, the future is firmly in our own hands!
The sound of the earth tearing apart brought Kazuma back to reality from his beautiful vision. The swelling vines instantly knocked the scroll containing the Nine-Tails Chakra from his hand to the ground, and he was directly pulled into the ground.
"My future, my future! Damn it, which bastard used Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"
The earth trembled, and the figure hidden underground seemed to vanish without a trace. Kazuma's face turned ashen; his future had been stolen away just like that.
"What kind of ninjutsu was that? Wood Release? How is that possible? Wood Release isn't Kekkei Genkai only the First Hokage can master. How could anyone else know Wood Release?"
In the distance, shadowy figures could be seen, and shouts rang out, forcing Kazuma to cover his face and flee.
A moment later, the faces of the Konoha ninjas turned ashen. The village had just been attacked by the Nine-Tails, and now some scoundrels had sneaked into the village. Wasn't this an insult to Konoha's lack of manpower?
"It's an Earth Release ninjutsu. Quickly search the surrounding area and kill anyone who resists."
The patrolling Jonin gritted his teeth, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot. Many Konoha ninjas, who were also provoked by the Nine-Tails, had no outlet for their frustration.
Right now, the innocent ' Kazuma ' is being closely watched by many Konoha Chunin Jonin, who are determined to find out who the mastermind is and are chasing after Kazuma.
The footsteps gradually faded away until all was quiet. Then, a figure, half black and half white, seemingly wrapped in aloe vera, emerged from the vegetation.
"I never thought that Obito would be killed by that brat, Uchiha Huayue. Why don't we pack our bags and go our separate ways? You go back to your Tongtian River, and I'll go back to my God Tree Root."
White Zetsu said with a grin, which earned him a fierce eye roll from Black Zetsu.
"What kind of rubbish books did you read when you separated? Even if Obito made a move, Madara still had a backup plan."
"As long as the Rinnegan remains, we still have hope..."
'I've got the Nine-Tails Chakra. Even if she's resurrected in an incomplete state, as long as Mom comes back to life, there's still hope. That damned Uchiha brat, I will definitely bring Mom back!'
Meanwhile, at Uzuki Yugao's house, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door. When Yugao opened the door, several Uchiha members looked solemn.
" Uchiha Huayue, there's a clan festival at the Naka Shrine tonight. Don't expect any trouble this time."
"No matter what power you have gained, you are still Uchiha Huayue of the Uchiha Clan. If you understand, then be there on time."
