This prophecy shocked everyone, including Uzumaki Naruto.
The idea of exotic beasts and disasters from another world was something they could not have imagined before; but if the prophecy was true, and an exotic beast suddenly appeared near Konoha, then they....
And with only three days left, it might appear the next second, this news suddenly pressed like a mountain on everyone's heart in the room.
Uzumaki Naruto propped his chin with his hands, his face full of seriousness, unsure of what he was thinking.
Nara Shikamaru's high intelligence was of no use at this time because he couldn't think of any countermeasures. After pondering for a while with no clues, he suppressed the irritation in his heart and asked Uchiha Yoichi, "Why has this never happened before?"
"Who said it hasn't? Wasn't the Otsutsuki a disaster?"
Uchiha Yoichi questioned back at Nara Shikamaru, leaving him speechless; the Otsutsuki were indeed an unimaginable disaster for them, especially during the Fourth Great Ninja War, where a single misstep could have meant the destruction of the Ninja World.
"Moreover, if it weren't for the Goddess of Mao... that is, Otsutsuki Kaguya suddenly betraying her companion a thousand years ago, the Ninja World wouldn't have had a chance to survive at all."
"Eh? Otsutsuki Kaguya had a companion?"
The people in the room were shocked to hear this news, even Uzumaki Naruto had a face of disbelief.
"Of course she did, in fact, the most powerful Yin Yang Master Clans died at the hands of Otsutsuki Kaguya's companion. After killing the Yin Yang Masters of that time into submission, only then did they plant the Divine Tree."
Uchiha Yoichi casually said, "This was originally the biggest scandal of the Yin Yang Master Clan, but it's been over a thousand years, so it doesn't matter to talk about it; the second time the Yin Yang Masters gathered to resist Kaguya, which almost led to the extinction of Yin-Yang Art inheritance."
"So that's how it is...."
Uzumaki Naruto, upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, also remembered Sasuke's analysis, which suggested that Kaguya might have had an even stronger enemy, which is why she went to the extent of creating White Zetsu; Now it seems that Otsutsuki Kaguya's enemy should be her estranged companion.
"Seventh Generation Hokage, I've said what I needed to say, in fact, I could have totally not mentioned these things."
Uchiha Yoichi paused for a moment, then continued, "Well, I'll be leaving now."
"Mm... Sorry for troubling you today, asking you so many questions..." Uzumaki Naruto said with an embarrassed smile to Uchiha Yoichi, acknowledging Shikamaru's somewhat overly direct tone.
"I'll see him off."
Yamanaka Ino spoke up, then followed Uchiha Yoichi out of the Hokage Office.
After the two left, Sakura felt a little suspicious: 'No matter how you think about it, it feels a bit off, since when did Ino get so familiar with this person?'
While Ino understood her, Sakura also knew Ino very well. A close look could reveal something unusual; but there were still other matters at hand, so she didn't pursue the question.
Once Uchiha Yoichi left, Uzumaki Naruto spoke up, "What should we do next? There's no doubt about his identity and what he said, right?"
"His identity is unquestionable, but the part about a disaster appearing in three days...."
Nara Shikamaru couldn't convince himself to believe it, he felt that Uchiha Yoichi had some other motives, so he said, "I think there are some doubts, we can't completely trust him..."
"Let's call Sasuke back first."
Hatake Kakashi suggested, "With the entire Ninja World at risk, the village needs his strength. Besides, isn't he investigating the Otsutsuki, what's the status of that?"
In the room were either the Hokage or Hokage staff and Uchiha Sasuke's wife, so there was no problem discussing Sasuke's task movements.
"There's no news yet, if there's any progress, Sasuke will send a message back, but this matter is also very important, I'll have him return promptly once he contacts us again."
Uzumaki Naruto thought for a while then decisively said, "Although what Mr. Yoichi said is hard to believe, the Yin Yang Master's prophecy shouldn't be wrong, Shikamaru, we must prepare in advance, at least organize an emergency response team."
Nara Shikamaru nodded and said, "...Mm, I understand."
Afterward, everyone in the room discussed some other matters and came up with an emergency plan; however, after the discussion, they still didn't inform the other Ninja Villages about it.

"Yoichi!"
Yamanaka Ino shouted after following him outside the Hokage Building.
Once Uchiha Yoichi slowed down and walked alongside her, Yamanaka Ino tilted her head and asked, "Are you angry?"
"If it weren't for Lady Ino's sake, I definitely wouldn't have said anything. Even if a disaster appeared nearby, I have the means to avoid it, but I'm worried about Lady Ino...."
Before Uchiha Yoichi could finish his sentence, Yamanaka Ino's face blushed, and she quickly said, "I know, I know, stop, it's on the street..."
This guy was getting bolder, confessing on the street, he was even too, too....
After speaking, Yamanaka Ino slightly relaxed after making sure no one was around, and said a bit more boldly, "Shikamaru is just very cautious, I apologize on his behalf...."
"Forget it, I didn't mind anyway, it's not like I have anything to lose, but Lady Ino, would you like to come to my place for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino's face immediately showed a wary expression, "No way, you definitely don't have good intentions!"
"It's my longing, for you, Lady Ino..."
"I know, I know, idiot, shh! Don't say it on the street, idiot!"
Yamanaka Ino quickly blushed and raised a finger to her lips, indicating Uchiha Yoichi to stop talking further.
Then she hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, although I know you're a Yin Yang Master, I'm not sure what else a Yin Yang Master can do besides concocting Secret Medicine, is it the same as a ninja?"
"Of course not, if it were the same, a Yin Yang Master wouldn't be called that; the combat ability is similar, the Immortal Technique in Ninjutsu is close to the jutsu in Yin-Yang Art, the rest involves controlling the natural elements, communicating between Yin and Yang, and matters of life and death resurrection..."
Uchiha Yoichi said, not exaggerating, as he was truly capable of these things.
On Yamanaka Ino's beautiful face, a look of astonishment appeared, "Life and death resurrection? Communicating with Yin and Yang? Can you really do that?"
"Of course, Lady Ino, Yin Yang Masters were originally representatives of the Pure Land, or rather, the Pure Land was once governed by Yin Yang Masters...."
After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, he smiled and asked, "Lady Ino, if you want to meet someone who has passed away, I can help, although it's only possible to contact deceased individuals within fifty years of their death."
"Re-really?"
Yamanaka Ino excitedly said, her father had died during the Fourth Great Ninja War, so unexpectedly that she hadn't gotten a chance to say many things to him.
"Of course, what is troublesome for ninjas is quite simple for me to accomplish."
Uchiha Yoichi nodded as he spoke, deliberately revealing this ability not only confirmed his identity as a Yin Yang Master but also allowed him to collect many 'treasures' from the ability to communicate with the dead.
Apart from Lady Ino, there must be many other ladies in Konoha with unresolved feelings, right?
I, Yoichi the Yin Yang Master, am here precisely to resolve such lingering regrets.
Yamanaka Ino, hearing this, excitedly grasped Uchiha Yoichi's arm and asked, "Can you summon the deceased now?"
"Come to my place, I have the prepared jutsu there."
Uchiha Yoichi said, "It's best to bring items used by the deceased in life, it'll make finding them faster."
"I understand, you wait for me there, I'll be over quickly!"
After Yamanaka Ino finished speaking, she immediately headed towards her home, eager to share the many unspoken words with her father.
