"What about that guy's intelligence, Black Zetsu!"
"Still haven't found him. An enemy with space-time abilities is hard to locate, Lord Madara. Even White Zetsu clones can't track him..."
After Black Zetsu finished speaking, it silently cursed Uchiha Madara in its heart. It was already hiding away as much as possible, yet this foolish reincarnation of Indra still wanted it to get involved... Fortunately, the collection of the Ten-tails was in sight, and it would soon be able to revive its mother.
Uchiha Madara said, "Don't forget about this guy. Before I release the Infinite Tsukuyomi, I must eliminate any unstable factors..."
"Rest assured, Lord Madara."
After saying this, Black Zetsu told Uchiha Madara the location of the revival of the Four-tailed and Five-tailed. The Hidden Cloud Village may have already sent the Eight-tailed over, planning to have it persuade these two tailed beasts when they are revived.
The information gathered by the White Zetsu clones was very comprehensive. One clone posed as a servant in Kitsuchi's house during the day, while another clone eavesdropped during the night.
It just so happened that Kitsuchi had experienced the Third Ninja World War battles in the Land of Rice Fields. He recounted the experiences of the Four-tailed and Five-tailed fighting alongside the Eight-tailed back then; had it not been for the Eight-tailed's life-saving skills, it might now be resurrecting with the Four-tailed and Five-tailed.
This past connection with the Eight-tailed is why the Hidden Rock Village agreed to allow the Eight-tailed to persuade the Four-tailed and Five-tailed. In this war, the power of the Four-tailed and Five-tailed is indispensable.
The Hidden Rock Village's bottom line is to borrow the power of the Four-tailed and Five-tailed. As long as they win this war, it's fine to release them from the current Jinchuriki before they die, allowing the Four-tailed and Five-tailed to have a new Jinchuriki just once.
If the Four-tailed and Five-tailed don't agree to even this bottom line, then the Hidden Rock Village can only resort to tough measures.
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village.
After waking up, Tsunade was busy with her duties early in the morning, while Uchiha Yoko was directly placed in the arms of her father, Uchiha Yoichi, by Tsunade, leaving him to take care of her for a day.
Before Uchiha Yoichi could react, Tsunade's shadow clone had disappeared. Helplessly, Uchiha Yoichi started to accompany his daughter.
Fortunately, he didn't really want to deal with village affairs anyway. To become Hokage, Uchiha Yoichi married Tsunade and wanted to lead a comfortable life while restructuring the Ninja World to his liking.
Having achieved the first two goals, the last one was already in progress and didn't require his constant attention.
While entertaining his daughter, Uchiha Yoichi thought about electing the Sixth Generation Hokage after capturing the Hidden Mist Village.
However, before electing the Sixth Generation Hokage, he needed to deal with the Land of Fire Daimyo and nobility. The next Hokage was likely to be chosen between Shisui and Nawaki; Kakashi had no interest, but he'd certainly be placed before Shisui.
Although Nawaki was slightly less powerful than Shisui, he had been training with Senju Hashirama in Wood Release and must have made some significant progress.
However, neither of them had substantial authority. If the Land of Fire Daimyo and nobility were handed over to them, things would probably end up incomplete.
While playing with his daughter, Uchiha Yoichi also opened the ability panel. He hadn't found a good offer to trade last night, so he decided to check again today.
"Seeking one of the top twelve Abnormal Fires as a reward for six Eighth-Grade Five-Color Elixirs..."
"Seeking a solution to Wedge, in return for a debt of gratitude..."
"Seeking a cure for the Calamity Poison Body, in return for a meticulously compiled medical book..."
"Seeking unsealing of Yin Power and Yang Power, in return for a personal Bloodline Ability..."
Uchiha Yoichi suddenly noticed the request for Yin Power and Yang Power. Most of the previous requests were beyond his capability, but this one was doable.
He happened to possess both Yin Power and Yang Power, and the only seal requiring these powers was the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.
"Need for Yin Power and Yang Power—could this request be from Otsutsuki Kaguya?"
Uchiha Yoichi contemplated for a moment. Kaguya's consciousness was sealed, with her shell being the Gedo Statue, and Chakra divided into nine parts.
To fully revive, the main step was releasing her consciousness through the Infinite Tsukuyomi; otherwise, even gathering all nine tailed beasts to resurrect the Ten-tailed would only contain a trace of her consciousness.
In time, the power of the Ten-tailed would undoubtedly be assimilated by Uchiha Madara, even the ability of Amenominaka would become Madara's power.
"Let's give it a try."
After some thought, Uchiha Yoichi made the decision. His power dictated his choices; he did not fear Princess Kaguya. If he wanted to, he could eliminate all his enemies within a year with some effort.
But it was too tiring, and Uchiha Yoichi wondered why he still had to toil for others when he was already so strong.
After deciding, Uchiha Yoichi's hands glowed with Yin Power and Yang Power, and he clasped them together. After performing Six Paths Chibaku Tensei: Release, the powers in his hands suddenly vanished.
Since he agreed to the trade, the Power Wheel directly extracted his powers.
Suddenly, sensing something amiss, Uchiha Yoichi carried Yoko outside and looked up at the moon. He suddenly noticed that today's moon was exceptionally bright and visible even in daylight.
However, no one else seemed to notice. After watching for a while, Uchiha Yoichi went back inside.
Just as he returned to the house, he suddenly felt a change in his body, as if an ability had appeared out of nowhere.
