Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

He did not expect that after gathering the chakra of all nine tailed beasts, not only would his Rinnegan advance to the Tomoe Rinnegan, but his body would also advance to the Six Paths Body.

Uchiha Kakuzan had heard of the Rinnegan with tomoe, but he had never heard of the Six Paths Body before.

However, according to the system, this Six Paths Body should be able to rival the Rinnegan with its tomoe.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the nine tailed beast chakra clusters in front of him and said with unusual firmness:

"System, upgrade."

As soon as Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, the nine chakra flames in front of him were drawn together by a mysterious energy and began to spin continuously.

Subsequently, Uchiha Kakuyama discovered that streams of green natural energy were being drawn from the outside world by the system and were all being integrated into the nine chakra flowers.

Time passed, and when the chakra stopped spinning, a golden sphere of light appeared before Uchiha Kakuyama.

As this sphere of light appeared, a very obscure energy fluctuation was transmitted from it to Uchiha Kakuyama's consciousness, allowing him to sense a surging and powerful world will.

Of course, this feeling was fleeting. When Uchiha Kakuzan came to his senses, the golden ball of light shot directly towards him and merged into his consciousness.

"Ding, the Seed of the World has been fully fused. We hope the host will find a place with abundant natural energy as soon as possible to accelerate the growth and fusion of the Seed of the World."

After the system finished speaking, it fell silent without waiting for Uchiha Kakuzan to react.

Uchiha Kakuzan raised his hands, watching them glow with golden light. After a moment of silence, he left his consciousness space.

When Uchiha Kakuzan opened his eyes, a very powerful energy fluctuation suddenly appeared above his head.

This energy fluctuation is not only very powerful, but it also carries a vast, solemn, and sacred aura.

Upon sensing this fluctuation, Uchiha Kakuzan quickly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

You have to understand, this is his private space, and most of his women and children are here. If something were to happen here, the consequences for him would be unimaginable.

However, when he looked up, he found nothing. Only the strange energy fluctuations continued to spread and swirl around him, making Uchiha Kakuyama realize that everything he felt was real.

With a thought, Uchiha Kakuyama ascended to the sky, but even there, he found nothing.

Just then, the energy fluctuation seemed to detect Uchiha Kakuzan's presence. After a slight ripple, a golden point of light appeared and slowly drifted towards Uchiha Kakuzan.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Kakuzan, sensing that the fluctuation was not malicious, raised his hand and caught the golden light.

As Uchiha Kakuzan acted, the information brought by this point of light entered his consciousness.

After a long while, Uchiha Kakuzan finally came to his senses, looked up at the sky with a strange expression, and muttered:

"The real Takamagahara, the dwelling place of the gods... I see."

Chapter 516 The Fifth Generation Wind Shadow

Uchiha Kakuzan then understood why his original eye technique was called Takamagahara.

It's important to know that the Mangekyou Sharingan awakened by the Uchiha clan possesses a wide variety of eye techniques.

However, their names seem to be innate; the moment the pupil technique appears, its name has already appeared in the consciousness of the owner.

Kotoamatsukami, Amaterasu, Kamui, Tsukuyomi...

If you look into it carefully, you'll find that the names of these eye techniques are actually the same as the names of the legendary gods.

As for Uchiha Okazan's eye technique—Takamagahara—it is said to be the dwelling place of the gods.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuzan had a vague realization. After looking up at the sky, a knowing smile appeared on his lips. With a thought, he left the place.

hum~~

With a soft sound, Uchiha Kakuyama appeared beside Tsunade.

At this moment, in front of Tsunade stood a ninja dressed in black, wearing a mask, with only his dark green and orange hair showing, standing there very respectfully.

When Uchiha Kakuzan appeared there, the man naturally saw him as well, and immediately knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully:

"Ye Cang has met Master Qiu Shan."

Uchiha Kakuzan was also quite surprised upon seeing this person, then looked at Tsunade beside him and asked:

"Yakura, what are you doing here?"

After reviving Pakura, Uchiha Kakuyama handed her over to Tsunade. After all, Pakura's strength was quite good, making her a capable assistant.

At this moment, Yekura had removed her mask, revealing her beautiful face. After hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, she bit her lip sadly. Just as she was about to say something, Tsunade spoke first:

"I was the one who called Yekura over. If it weren't for those damned guys from Sunagakure betraying her, she wouldn't have died such a tragic death."

This time, these guys from Sunagakure have gone even further, betraying our Hidden Leaf Village. Naturally, I must teach them a lesson.

As for Ye Cang, I called him over to take revenge, since those who betrayed us and those who sold out Ye Cang were the same group of people.

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuzan remembered the cause of Pakura's death. Looking at Pakura's sorrowful face, Uchiha Kakuzan patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Ye Cang, we will definitely avenge you."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Yekura lowered her head slightly, a blush rising to her cheeks, and whispered:

"Thank you, sir."

For Yekura, Uchiha Okayama was not only her master, but also her savior, so the feelings between them were naturally very special.

At that moment, Tsunade, standing beside her, frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Uchiha Kakuyama, and asked in a very serious tone:

"Qiu Shan Jun, what's wrong with you? How can you automatically absorb natural energy from the outside world?"

Originally, Tsunade hadn't noticed when Uchiha Kagami first arrived, since she didn't know Sage Mode and her sensitivity to natural energy was naturally limited.

However, no matter what, Tsunade had been in close contact with Hashirama Senju and Jiraiya's Sage Mode, and after spending a long time with Uchiha Kakuzan, she eventually discovered the abnormality in him.

At this moment, Uchiha Kagami was like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing and devouring natural energy.

Even if one were to use Sage Mode, it would probably not be necessary to consume this much natural energy. Yet, Uchiha Kakuzan absorbed it without changing his expression, as if a certain world was connected to his body.

Although Tsunade had not successfully mastered Sage Mode, she knew that absorbing too much natural energy was definitely not a good thing. So, after noticing Qiushan-kun's abnormality, she quickly asked him this question.

Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Yekura, who was standing next to them, immediately looked at Lord Okayama with a worried expression.

Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Uchiha Kakuzan waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Tsunade, it's alright. The reason I'm experiencing this is because I've reached a certain level in my cultivation."

The reason I came here to find you is because I'll be staying in the Wet Bone Forest for a while longer, so I wanted to let you know.

Upon hearing Qiu Shanjun's words, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. After carefully examining him and finding nothing amiss, she nodded and said:

"Since you have something to do, then go ahead. Speaking of which, the Slug Immortal quite misses the days when you were cultivating in the Wet Bone Forest. After all, she was indeed a bit bored there all by herself."

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded, then instructed Yekura beside him:

"Yakura, in less than a month, Sunagakure will join forces with Orochimaru to carry out the Konoha Crush plan. When that time comes, it will be Konoha's time to retaliate, and you will be able to unleash your killing spree."

At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama stroked his chin and continued:

"Speaking of which, when you were betrayed by Sunagakure, I wonder if old woman Chiyo was involved?"

However, I estimate that even if she wasn't involved, she's definitely someone who knows about it. When that time comes, I'll go to Sunagakure with you.

That little brother from Sunagakure is too disloyal; he's betrayed Konoha countless times.

Uchiha Kakuzan would no longer tolerate them. He planned to take this opportunity, even if he didn't incorporate Sunagakure, to replace him with a more obedient leader.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama involuntarily looked at Yekura beside him.

In fact, Yekura was one of the top fighters in the last round, and she also had a considerable following. After eliminating the Kazekage lineage of Sunagakure and the influence of Granny Chiyo, Yekura could easily become the Fifth Kazekage.

The Fifth Hokage, the Fifth Mizukage, the Fifth Kazekage...

Hmm, I have a feeling that my idea is pretty good.

However, it's not time for Sunagakure to reveal its true colors yet, so these things aren't in a hurry.

So, after chatting with the two women for a few minutes, Uchiha Kakuyama left the place and directly summoned himself into the Shikkotsu Forest.

When Uchiha Kakuyama summoned himself to Shikkotsu Forest, a damp feeling that felt very familiar and comforting rushed towards him.

Chapter 517 Orochimaru and Black Zetsu

"Slug Sage, I've come to find you."

As he shouted, Uchiha Kakuyama took to the air and flew towards the center of Shikkotsu Forest.

Uchiha Kakuzan always held the Slug Sage in high esteem.

After all, when Uchiha Kakuzan was training in Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest, the Slug Sage took good care of him. Otherwise, he would have had to suffer a lot more to complete his Sage Mode training.

The Slug Sage was very kind to her contractors, especially Uchiha Kakuzan, who treated her exceptionally well.

After all, among the contractors throughout history, only Hashirama Senju and Okayama Uchiha had mastered the Sage Mode of their Shikkotsu Forest, so the Slug Sage treated him with special regard.

So, as Uchiha Kagami flew by in the sky, the enormous slug sage raised his head and, in a voice like that of a little girl, cheerfully shouted:

"Kiu Shan-kun, you finally have time to come see me. If there's nothing urgent outside, you must stay here for a few more days."

Upon hearing the Slug Sage's words, Uchiha Kakuzan raised an eyebrow somewhat embarrassed.

Since completing his Sage Mode training in Shikkotsu Forest, Uchiha Kakuzan had rarely come here, so he felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing the Slug Sage's welcoming words.

“Slug Immortal, I apologize for disturbing you. I have reached a certain stage in my cultivation and wish to meditate in a place with abundant natural energy, so I have come here.”

Since entering the Shikkotsu Forest, Uchiha Kakuyama has keenly noticed that his absorption rate of natural energy has increased by at least five times. In other words, what would normally take three years to complete the World Seed's advancement here might not even take a year.

The Slug Sage had already noticed that Uchiha Kakuzan was absorbing natural energy, yet he spoke without any hesitation:

"It's alright, Xiaoqiu can just stay here and cultivate in peace. The natural energy of this Wet Bone Forest fills the entire secret realm. Even if you stay here for a hundred years, you can't absorb it all."

The rich natural energy within this Shikkotsu Forest has accumulated for thousands of years. Even if Uchiha Kagami were to open his mouth to absorb it, it would pose no threat to the entire Shikkotsu Forest.

······

Just as Uchiha Kagami entered the Shikkotsu Forest to absorb natural energy, two uninvited guests encountered each other outside Konoha Village.

dense forest outside Konoha Village

Orochimaru walked solemnly among them, his gaze occasionally sweeping around. Seeing no target, he frowned slightly and said in a chilling tone:

"Alright, White Zetsu, I'm here now. Why aren't you coming out? If you don't show yourself soon, I'm going back."

This is a crucial moment for Orochimaru to play the role of Kazekage, so in order to avoid being exposed, he rarely goes out. If he hadn't been startled by the appearance of White Zetsu just now, Orochimaru would never have risked coming out at this time.

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, a very funny voice suddenly appeared behind him without warning.

"Oh, oh, oh, Orochimaru-senpai is angry. No matter what, senpai was once a member of our Akatsuki organization. White Zetsu just called you out, it's not like he's angry, is it?"

When the voice sounded from behind, Orochimaru was startled. Before he could even turn his head, a huge venomous snake sprang from his body and lunged at the person who had suddenly appeared.

However, this person was not afraid at all when facing the oncoming venomous snake. He was like a phantom, letting the snake pass through his body.

"Oh dear, Orochimaru-senpai is still in a hurry. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been bitten by his poisonous snake. How scary."

At this moment, Orochimaru had already turned around. Seeing the person not far away wearing the Akatsuki's black and red uniform, but with a vortex-like mask that only revealed one eye, Orochimaru frowned slightly and questioned in a low, hoarse voice:

"Who exactly are you? I've never seen you in the Akatsuki."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, this person tugged at his fingers with a rather aggrieved expression before continuing:

"Orochimaru-senpai, I've only just joined Akatsuki. You can call me Tobi. Black Zetsu-senpai calls me Tobi, right, Black Zetsu-senpai?"

As soon as Obito Uchiha finished speaking, Zetsu, both black and white, emerged from the tree trunk. However, they did not respond to Obito's words, but instead spoke directly to Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, as far as I know, you should have already killed the Fourth Kazekage and infiltrated Konoha in his place. What exactly is your purpose in coming here?"

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's question, Orochimaru did not answer him, but instead said in a deep voice:

"I, Orochimaru, have long since left the Akatsuki organization. There's no need for me to tell you the purpose of my visit to Konoha, is there?"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Black Zetsu's expression darkened. Just as he was about to say something, Obito Uchiha, disguised as Tobi, jumped up and shouted cheerfully:

"I know, I know, Orochimaru-senpai wants to carry out some kind of Konoha Crush plan with Sunagakure and the Sound Village he founded, right?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru's expression turned ugly.

In Orochimaru's view, the Konoha Crush plan he wanted to execute was known only to him and a few high-ranking members of Sunagakure. To prevent the plan from being leaked, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

But to his surprise, before he could even begin his plan, the Akatsuki members found out about it, which made him furious.

Just then, Black Zetsu glanced at Fei with obvious displeasure and said:

"Orochimaru, we've come to you not to ruin your plans, but because we're also interested in this scheme. If you don't mind, we'd like to get involved as well."

Orochimaru never expected that Black Zetsu, that gloomy fellow, would want to get involved. After a slight pause, he nodded with a smile on his face.

"Since you all want to get involved, I'm naturally very happy to welcome you. However, is this your idea, or the leader's?"
