The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, in Konoha.
Morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, falling on the spacious bed.
Uchiha Xin stretched his body, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
He turned his head to look at Hinata was fast asleep beside him.
The girl's skin was fair and translucent, with a faint blush remaining on her cheeks.
Beneath the sheet, the curves of her body were faintly visible, and her breathing was long and steady, clearly indicating that she was extremely exhausted.
Uchiha Xin chuckled softly, gently tucking the blanket around her without disturbing her.
After a quick wash, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly arrived at the Hokage's office.
Tsunade sat upright at her desk, staring at the intelligence report on Naruto's tracking team, her brows furrowed.
Good morning, Lady Tsunade.
Uchiha Xin walked calmly into the room with his hands in his pockets.
Upon Tsunade immediately handed over the intelligence she was holding.
"You've come at the right time. Naruto has already clashed with Guren's people, and the Three-Tails has also appeared. I'm worried that Kakashi and his group will have difficulty stabilizing the situation."
Uchiha Xin glanced at the intelligence report and smiled.
He was worried about not having a reasonable excuse to leave the village.
"Don't worry."
Uchiha Xin patted his chest and said casually.
"I was getting bored in the village, so I went out for a walk to clear my head. I secretly protected Naruto and made sure he was unharmed."
Tsunade, unsuspecting, showed a delighted expression.
"I feel relieved with you here. Just remember not to let Naruto run rampant."
Uchiha Xin waved his hand, turned around, and walked out of the Hokage Building.
The moment he stepped outside, he immediately activated Flying Thunder God and headed straight for the lake where the Three-Tails was located.
On the border of the Land of Lightning, by the shore of a boundless lake.
Uchiha Xin landed steadily on the canopy of the towering ancient tree.
He closed his eyes slightly, and his immense senses instantly enveloped the entire area.
A fierce wind howled across the lake, and giant waves surged.
A mud turtle, as large as a small mountain, was thrashing wildly in the lake.
The three broad, massive tails Water Shot, creating towering waves powerful enough to capsize villages, their deafening roars echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
"This is the Isobu; he certainly has a bad temper."
Uchiha Xin stroked his chin, deep in thought.
His purpose for this trip was simple: to extract the Three-Tails' original Chakra to supply the Moon Palace's Moon Creation Plan.
Having experienced the high-profile battles fought in the Kumogakure.
He originally planned to keep a low profile and complete the extraction quietly to avoid being wanted by the major ninja villages again.
Just as he was pondering a safe way to subdue the enemy, an unusual fluctuation suddenly came from within his body.
Last night's dual cultivation with Hinata unexpectedly became the perfect catalyst.
His tightly closed Tensei Rinnegan has already completed its initial evolution.
Although still in the fetal movement stage and unable to open her eyes, the changes inside her body are earth-shattering.
The originally violent and chaotic Natural Energy of the Senjutsu has now completely merged with his own Chakra, becoming one with it.
His bloodline is constantly evolving, steadily approaching the level of the Sage of Six Paths.
What shocked him most was that he had begun to grasp the power of the Kekkei Mōra.
From now on, he will be able to unleash all his Kekkei Genkai without needing to Hand Seals, doing so at will.
" Kekkei Genkai requires no Hand Seals?"
Uchiha Xin grinned, his playful nature fully awakened.
He gazed at the raging Three-Tails on the lake, his hands remaining in his pockets, never taking them out.
He silently recited a phrase in his mind and then activated the new power that had just Awakening.
" Ice Release: Ice Age ".
boom!
A chilling aura suddenly swept outwards from Uchiha Xin.
Click click click click click!
A piercing sound of icing rang out.
The vast lake, which had just been churning with huge waves, was instantly frozen in time.
The raging waves, tens of meters high, were forcibly solidified into a giant, crystalline ice sculpture.
The Isobu in the lake suddenly froze.
The biting cold penetrated its thick carapace, instantly seeping into its entire body.
"Roar-- Woo!"
The Three-Tails let out a terrified cry.
It struggled frantically, channeling its massive Tailed Beast Chakra in an attempt to shatter the ice.
But it discovered in despair that the Tailed Beast Chakra had been completely frozen by this extreme cold.
In just three seconds.
The entire lake, along with the surrounding forests stretching for dozens of miles, was completely frozen into permafrost.
The Three-Tails was firmly imprisoned within a hundred-meter-thick layer of solid ice, unable to move.
It had only one giant eye left, which turned fearfully behind the ice.
Uchiha Xin leaped off the tree and landed steadily on the smooth ice surface.
He walked forward step by step, and the solid ice in front of him automatically parted to the sides.
A smooth, wide, icy staircase appeared out of thin air for him.
He put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked to the front of the Three-Tails giant head.
The Three-Tails stared wide-eyed at the figure standing with his eyes closed, trembling all over.
"Lend me Chakra, don't be so tense."
Uchiha Xin smiled and placed his hand on the surface of the ice.
Buzz!
The pure Chakra of the Tailed Beast was forcibly extracted.
The blue light condensed into a crystal-clear sphere, which he casually stored in his system space.
The whole process was incredibly easy, like casually scooping up a ladle of water.
Uchiha Xin withdrew his hand, feeling the vast and powerful energy within his body, and sighed inwardly.
The Three-Tails is not weak; it's just that its current strength is too overwhelming.
With a wave of his hand, he could alter the celestial phenomena; with a single hand, he could suppress Tailed Beast. This power was utterly captivating.
He activated his senses, scanning the magnificent landscape of thousands of miles of frozen land, and instantly fell silent.
They originally planned to keep a low profile, but in the end, they still caused a huge commotion.
Uchiha Xin stood on the mirror-like ice, having just collected the Three-Tails ' original Chakra.
The ten-mile-long frozen lake surface was bathed in sunlight, the cold light dazzling and the air filled with chill.
A familiar, hoarse laugh suddenly came from behind.
"Hehehe... What a breathtaking masterpiece, Uchiha Shin-kun."
Uchiha Xin turned his head.
Even with his eyes closed, his senses instantly locked onto the person approaching.
Orochimaru stepped slowly out from the shadows, his feet treading on the ice.
He wore his signature sinister smile, but his eyes held a deep sense of apprehension.
Uchiha Xin activated his senses, scanning Orochimaru's entire body.
He keenly sensed that Orochimaru possessed an unusual aura.
The complex and powerful Chakra intertwined, mixed with cold and sinister jutsu, Uchiha eye power, and vigorous life energy.
Orochimaru stopped ten steps in front of Uchiha Xin, his gaze fixed on his tightly closed eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed even harder, his tone full of sarcasm.
"What? Uchiha Shin-kun, why are your once-proud eyes closed?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, his expression full of schadenfreude.
"It seems that while the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, it also places a tremendous burden on the body."
"It hasn't been long, and you've already gone completely blind due to overuse of your eye power?"
In Orochimaru's view...
The terrifying strength that Uchiha Xin displayed in the Land of Snow was definitely achieved by overdrawing the power of his Sharingan.
It's only natural that he's now blind.
Orochimaru became more and more smug as he spoke, crossing his arms and striking a superior pose.
"I haven't been idle at all in the past two or three years."
Orochimaru's voice echoed across the empty ice surface.
