Uya had already sensed the arrival of Haku and Kimimaro, but since everything was over, he did not stop them. It wasn't until the two reached the top of the mountain range covered with rubble that he turned to look at them.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Uya's figure flashed and appeared as if out of thin air in front of Haku and Kimimaro.

At this moment, Haku and Kimimaro finally snapped out of their shock.

A shy expression appeared on her pale face as she said timidly, "Because I saw the commotion here, I was worried about your safety, Lord Uya, so..."

"Disobedient!"

Uya frowned, snapped her middle finger, and tapped Bai's forehead hard.

Then, Uya turned to look at Kimimaro and said, "And you, even though it's one thing for Haku to be disobedient, you actually followed him and disobeyed too?"

Kimimaro gave an awkward look, glanced at Haku beside him, and didn't know what to say. He couldn't just leave the blame to Haku alone.

Bai looked at Uya timidly and whispered, "It's all my fault, Lord Uya, please punish me if you must..."

Looking at Kimimaro and Haku, Uya shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll let it go this time, but remember to be obedient next time."

"Yes!"

Kimimaro and Haku both nodded vigorously.

Let's go.

After saying that, Uya led Kimimaro and Haku down the hillside. Once they reached the bottom, Uya turned around and casually reached out and pressed down on something behind him.

Boom!!!

With another deafening roar, under the utterly awe-inspiring gazes of Kimimaro and Haku, the rocky mountain range behind them collapsed, filling the valley in the middle once more.

At this point, the mountain range had been completely leveled, leaving only slightly arched rubble and some broken pieces of wood and soil; nothing else remained.

The Akatsuki also disappeared completely with Nagato's death and the razing of this mountain range. However, there was still one problem: the White Zetsu and Black Zetsu were not dealt with.

Black Zetsu is not at Akatsuki's base; otherwise, if Uya discovered him, Uya would not have let him go. As for White Zetsu, he has too many clones, and unless they are eliminated at the source, they cannot be killed.

After killing Nagato, Uya chose to retain the Rinnegan for the time being. As for whether to transplant the Rinnegan, Uya has not yet decided and is not in a hurry.

These eyes are, after all, Madara Uchiha's eyes. No one can predict whether Madara Uchiha has planted any foreshadowing within them, as they are, after all, power belonging to the Six Paths Level.

Uya's soul has begun to gradually transform. After this transformation, Uya will truly step into the Six Paths level. At that time, even if there are any tricks in the Rinnegan, Uya will be able to forcefully suppress and erase them.

So what Uya needs to do now is wait, wait for the transformation of her soul to be completed.

At this moment, within Uya's Soul Space, the power of the Dragon Vein had completely disappeared, merging entirely with Uya's soul.

The transformation of the soul is not like the True Eight Gates Released Formation, where one forcibly breaks through barriers and limitations, but rather a gradual process.

The difference between a soul at the Six Paths Level and the soul of an ordinary ninja is simply too great.

Taking the Impure World Reincarnation technique as an example, even someone like Nagato, whose soul is resurrected through the resurrection of an ordinary ninja, cannot resist the caster erasing his personality and will.

However, if this ninja has already reached the Six Paths, possesses the Six Paths Power, and has a soul at the Six Paths Level, such as Madara Uchiha, then the caster simply cannot forcibly control him.

In the original work, even after the Impure World Reincarnation was dispelled and all the Impure World Reincarnation individuals ascended to heaven, Madara Uchiha was able to forcibly continue to cling to the bodies of the sacrificial offerings and maintain the Impure World Reincarnation state by relying on the power of his soul.

Until Madara Uchiha himself released the Impure World Reincarnation and turned the contractor into himself, it can be said that Kabuto was never able to control him from beginning to end.

At that time, Madara Uchiha was not yet the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and his body had not yet activated the Six Paths Senjutsu Six Paths Mode, but because he possessed the Rinnegan, his soul was at the Six Paths Level!

Obito Uchiha was able to forcibly return to the Ninja World from ' Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss ' after his death using Kamui, and briefly grant Kakashi the power of Kamui, precisely because he had previously activated Six Paths Mode and his soul had already reached the Six Paths Level.

If Obito Uchiha wished, he could even reincarnate repeatedly in the Ninja World like Indra and Asura. This is the Six Paths, transcending the cycle of birth and death.

Uya brought Kimimaro and Haku back from the Land of Water, he didn't carry them directly through the sky. Instead, he safely crossed the sea in a boat.

Speaking of which, the Seven-Tails was captured before, but Uya has never been able to find it, and the Summoning Technique can't summon it, which is quite a strange thing.

Uya guessed that the Seven-Tails might be sealed somewhere, or perhaps it was temporarily sealed inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Having Seven-Tails for transportation would be quite nice.

A large merchant ship was sailing on the sea, and in one of the most luxurious and prestigious rooms, Uya was quietly lying on a deck chair, resting with her eyes closed.

Haku was fiddling with his little hands, studying the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, while Kimimaro was training in another room.

Rumble!!

Outside the ship, thunder roared, rain poured down, and waves surged, causing the entire ship to rise and fall.

Uya lay there motionless, briefly sensing the weather with his Shockwave Sensing to confirm that it was a normal celestial phenomenon, and then continued to ponder Kimimaro's problem.

After taking Kimimaro, when Uya was instructing him in his training, he still discovered the bloodstain disease on Kimimaro's body, although it was now almost imperceptible.

In the original work, Kimimaro died of the Bloodline Disease, which even Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi couldn't cure. He died young. Otherwise, with his powerful Kekkei Genkai, he might have been able to improve his strength even further, and he might have become Orochimaru's next vessel, replacing Sasuke.

Shikotsumyaku is a Kekkei Genkai allows the user to create bones for combat. Because of this ability, the user's regenerative abilities are also extremely powerful, almost comparable to Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Technique!

Kimimaro can freely extract bones from his body to use as weapons in battle, and after they are extracted, his skin will instantly heal, and the bones inside his body will instantly regrow.

More importantly, these bones are exceptionally hard, almost indestructible.

The only problem is that so-called bloodstain disease.

This disease is almost hereditary in the Kaguya Clan, and Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai is an extremely special power even within the Kaguya Clan.

The appearance of the Shikotsumyaku Pulse) in the Kaguya Clan is far rarer than the Sharingan in the Uchiha Clan, and even rarer than the Ice Release of the Yuki Clan.

After all, the Sharingan appears after being stimulated by one's consciousness, but the Shikotsumyaku is entirely dependent on heredity, and very few can reach the level of Kimimaro.

It seems that because Kimimaro Shikotsumyaku) is extremely powerful, his Bloodstained Disease is even more severe, leaving Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi helpless.

While contemplating Kimimaro's blood disease, Uya couldn't help but think of the Cursed Seal Orochimaru created, Sasuke and Anko's Cursed Seal of Heaven, and Kimimaro's Cursed Seal of Earth.

Of course, Anko was not Cursed Seal by Orochimaru. She now possesses the Second Stage of the transformation of Uya's Sage Body, which enhances her power even more than the Curse Mark Stage Two, and without any side effects.

"It seems that the Cursed Seal has no effect on curing Kimimaro's blood disease; on the contrary, it seems to make the situation worse because it erodes his spirit."

Uya lay there, he thought of the Cursed Seal Jūgo had created while researching Orochimaru, and murmured to himself.

The Cursed Seal is a product of Orochimaru's research on Jūgo, similar to the power of Sage Mode. To be precise, the Cursed Seal is closely related to Ryūchi Cave Senjutsu.

If a problem with the Senjutsu of Mount Myōboku can cause the body to Petrification and turn into a frog, then a problem with the Senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave can cause someone like Jūgo to suddenly become mentally unstable and go berserk.

Orochimaru had been researching the Cursed Seal for a long time. When they were in Konoha, Uya had seen Orochimaru's research on the Cursed Seal and had a general understanding of the Cursed Seal it brought.

Ordinary Cursed Seal are too commonplace, while the most special Cursed Seal of Heaven and Cursed Seal of Earth offer a greater boost and amplification of power, but the side effects are far too severe. (To be continued.)
