The appearance of this longsword left Bai Jue with no chance to resist or send a message before he died on the spot.
As the two halves of White Zetsu's body fell, Uchiha Kakuzan was revealed behind him.
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the corpse he had cleaved in two, casually dissipating the lightning sword in his hand into the air, muttering to himself:
"As expected, you've appeared. You really are omnipresent. It's just a pity that I sensed you before you even appeared."
To prevent you from reporting this, I had no choice but to kill you.
As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama lifted the two halves of his body up, turned around, and returned directly to the space.
White Zetsu's ability to conceal itself from 99.99% of the ninja world is arguably its most important skill.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Kakuzan was not among these people.
Therefore, after sensing the arrival of the White Zetsu, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately concealed his presence and killed the White Zetsu as soon as it appeared.
The reason Uchiha Kakuzan did this was, besides, to prevent Uchiha Obito from knowing the Three-Tails' whereabouts and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Another reason is to eliminate the possibility of Uchiha Gaku and the others' whereabouts being exposed, so as to prevent them from suffering any further accidents.
When Uchiha Kakuzan returned to a beach in the space, he casually threw the things in his hand on the ground and watched them quickly take root, sprout, grow lush and leafy, and eventually turn into a strangely shaped tree.
"Hmph, Lord Uchiha Kakuzan, you're finally back! Now, can you let me go?"
Just then, Uchiha Kakuzan heard a deep, muffled voice in his ear, causing him to turn his head.
When Uchiha Kakuyama looked over, he realized that the voice that had just come from the Three-Tails that he had just brought in was from the creature he had sent in.
However, at this moment, although the Three-Tails was soaking in the seawater, it seemed to be pressed down by something and could not move at all. Even its tone of voice had changed.
Upon seeing the Three-Tails' disheveled state, Uchiha Kakuyama seemed to remember something and helplessly patted his forehead.
Chapter 416 Three-Tails Chakra - Completed
The space that Uchiha Kakuyama currently possesses has acquired many functions after undergoing multiple upgrades.
One of its functions is to suppress any creatures that trespass into the space.
Moreover, because the people most important to him lived in this space, Uchiha Kakuyama turned the suppressive force to the highest level for their safety.
Putting everything else aside, after multiple upgrades and evolutions, the suppressive power of this space has reached a terrifying level. Even the three-tailed creature he captured was suppressed in the seawater and unable to put up any resistance.
Seeing the Three-Tails Isobu in such a disheveled state, Uchiha Kakuzan remembered this incident. He chuckled and patted his forehead before waving at the Three-Tails to dispel the spatial suppression power that was weighing on it.
Having regained its freedom, the Three-Tails swung its tail vigorously before leaping in front of Uchiha Kagaya.
He glanced at the still pristine blue sky with a hint of suspicion before saying with lingering fear:
"Lord Uchiha Kakuzan, where have you sent me? I feel like this world doesn't welcome me, and it's like it's watching me all the time."
Uchiha Kakuzan was also surprised by the Three-Tails' keen senses. He glanced at him with some astonishment before nodding and saying:
"Your feeling is correct. Because I haven't given you permission to move freely in this space, that's why you have this feeling."
But don't worry, this space belongs to me. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it myself long ago, not waited until now.
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the Three-Tails nodded first, then, as if realizing something, turned its head to look at the vast world and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Is this space for adults? It looks really spacious."
At this point, the Three-Tails seemed about to say something, but after opening its mouth, it closed it again and ultimately didn't say anything.
Originally, after seeing this vast world, the Three-Tails wanted to live here, since it had already submitted to Uchiha Okayama and wouldn't harm it.
However, at this moment, Sanwei suddenly remembered how he was suppressed by this space. It seemed that Lord Qiushan probably did not like other creatures living here, otherwise, this space would not suppress outsiders so much.
Uchiha Kakuzan did not notice the Three-Tails' expression. With a thought, he and the beast arrived high in the sky, looking down at the vast island.
While the Three-Tails was still speculating about Uchiha Kagami's intentions, at the highest point of the island, enormous tree roots suddenly surged up from the ground and quickly grew into thick trees. Finally, these trees joined together to form an enormous platform.
Looking at the tall and sturdy platform in front of him, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in satisfaction before landing on it with the Three-Tails.
Just then, the Three-Tails realized Uchiha Kakuyama's intention, but it did not resist. Instead, it crawled down at Uchiha Kakuyama's feet and brought its head close to his face.
Seeing the Three-Tails' sensible action, Uchiha Kakuzan's lips curled into a slight smile. However, he didn't immediately extract the Three-Tails' chakra. Instead, looking into the Three-Tails' eyes, which were so close to his own, he smiled gently and said:
"Don't worry, since I, Uchiha Kakuzan, have already promised to protect you, I will definitely keep my word. Rest in my space until you recover, how about it?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, the Three-Tails Isobu gave him a deep look before speaking in a muffled voice:
"I believe you."
After Sanwei finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Kakuzan's expression turned serious, and he gently placed his hand on the Three-Tails' body.
"The Hungry Ghost Realm of the Six Paths - Devouring"
As Uchiha Kakuzan moved, a massive amount of chakra was continuously drawn from the Three-Tails' body.
After a long while, Uchiha Kakuyama finally removed his hand from the Three-Tails' body, feeling the three tailed beast chakra that had been gathered within him, and was very satisfied.
At this moment, the Three-Tails had fallen into a coma due to a massive loss of chakra.
However, as a tailed beast, its chakra recovery speed is quite fast. It should be able to recover in a few days.
Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan only checked the Three-Tails' condition and, seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body, left him there and disappeared from the spot.
When Uchiha Kakuyama reappeared, he had arrived at a deserted island.
On this small island, Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina were still fishing, while Haku stood to the side, serving them like a maid.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head with amusement. He hadn't expected that Mikoto and Kushina would actually enjoy fishing so much.
Strangely enough, in his space, there wasn't a single living creature in the seawater surrounding the island, let alone a fish.
Fortunately, after the island expanded, one or two freshwater lakes were created. However, due to lack of time, no fish fry or anything like that have been released into them yet. It seems that this needs to be put on the agenda.
The appearance of Uchiha Kakuzan did not cause much of a stir. After all, everyone was used to his sudden disappearances and reappearances. Only Haku, upon seeing Uchiha Kakuzan's arrival, quickly handed him a cold drink.
Touching the icy cold cup, Uchiha Kakuyama was taken aback before remembering Haku's Ice Release. He shook his head with amusement before taking a sip of the iced drink.
Glancing at Kushina, who was engrossed in her work, Uchiha Kakuzan went straight to the recliner next to Mikoto, reached out and pulled her into his arms, then comfortably lay down on the recliner.
Then she hugged Mikoto tightly, whose face was slightly flushed and who was struggling to get up, and asked:
"How's Kakashi doing? Has anything unusual happened?"
Hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Kushina blushed slightly, glanced at Mikoto, who was being held in his arms, and then continued:
"Kakashi is fine. After all, the helpers that guy named Gato brought have all been sent away. Even though Kakashi isn't in the best condition right now, he can still deal with a few wandering samurai without any problem."
Chapter 417 Teasing Kushina
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in agreement upon hearing Kushina's words.
After all, compared to before, Kakashi's mission to the Land of Waves this time involves an extra squad.
Beating up players like Facardo is a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at Haku beside him and gave the order:
"Bai, could you please make a trip and gather a few people to wipe out the Gato Group? As for his money, take out a small portion to compensate the people of the Land of Waves, and put the rest into the Uchiha treasury, so that the Grand Elder won't nag me all the time."
Uchiha Kakuzan never valued money much; however, if he wanted to promote the Uchiha clan, money was indeed indispensable in every aspect.
Another important reason is that the Uchiha clan has already separated from Konoha and can no longer rely on its powerful backer for protection.
If you don't want things to become increasingly difficult later on, you'll have to find a way out.
However, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't care about these things. After all, in this world, only those who are strong can control everything.
Moreover, according to the timeline, there are at most four or five years left before the decisive battle.
After that, the Uchiha clan will once again rise to the top as the number one clan in the ninja world. It won't be too late to worry about money when that time comes.
Upon hearing Qiu Shanjun's words, a very obvious smile appeared on Bai's face. After bowing to Uchiha Mikoto and the others, he summoned an ice mirror, went inside, and then vanished from the scene.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuzan tightened his embrace around Mikoto, then said to the two of them:
“I have some other things to do and need to go back early. Do you want to stay here for a couple of days and I’ll come back to pick you up later, or do you want to come back with me now?”
Kushina stopped fishing, turned around, and looked at the two people in front of her with slightly pouting lips, saying:
"Hmph, I'm not going back anyway. Even if I did go back, there's no one to hold me while I go fishing."
His dissatisfaction was palpable.
Before Uchiha Kazuyama could speak, Uchiha Mikoto, whom he was holding, was already blushing. After struggling free from Kazuyama's embrace, she lightly tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear before continuing:
"I won't stay here anymore. Sasuke has grown up now and can walk his own path. I trust him completely."
Yuta and Kana are still young. Although they are very safe in the space, I feel I should spend more time with them.
Just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to nod after hearing Mikoto's words, she shoved him next to Kushina and said:
"Speaking of which, Kushina has been with you for so long."
Why is there still no sign of labor? Could it be...?
At this point, Uchiha Mikoto glanced down at Qiu Shan-jun's lower body, then said meaningfully:
"Is Lord Qiu Shan no longer able to live? Is there some unspeakable reason for it?"
Kushina Uzumaki's mental age was considerably younger than Mikoto Uchiha's. Upon hearing Mikoto's suggestive words, she immediately blushed deeply, and her chakra involuntarily surged, causing her fiery red hair to fly wildly.
"Ah, Uchiha Mikoto, I'm going to kill you!!!"
Just as Kushina Uzumaki, filled with shame and indignation, charged towards Mikoto Uchiha, she smiled gently, a bright smile on her face, and said to them:
"I'll head back now. You must spend more time with Kushina, after all, she told me yesterday that she envies me and you having a child."
After Mikoto Uchiha finished speaking, just as Kushina was about to catch her, she activated the spatial mark on her forehead and returned to the space.
Seeing this, Kushina could only frantically wave her arms in mid-air a few times.
Seeing Kushina's adorable side, Uchiha Kakuzan smiled and chuckled softly.
After hearing Qiu Shan's laughter, Kushina finally reacted, her face immediately turning bright red. She glanced at Uchiha Qiu Shan somewhat embarrassedly and stammered:
"Um, Mr. Qiu, what Mikoto just said isn't true, don't take it seriously."
Upon hearing Kushina's words, Uchiha Kakuzan hesitated for a moment, then stroked his chin before replying:
"Oh, I thought it was true and wanted to go out and have some fun with you by myself. It seems I was overthinking it."
As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head with great regret.
Upon hearing Qiushan-kun's words, Kushina's heart skipped a beat, her face flushed, and she opened her mouth, finally whispering:
"If Mr. Qiushan wants me to go out with you, that's not impossible."
Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama stopped teasing Kushina and flashed to her side, putting his arm around her slender waist. Amid her gasp, he left the deserted island.
······
By the time Uchiha Kakuzan returned to the second floor of the villa with Kushina in his arms, it was already past midnight, and the entire villa was quiet.
Kushina glanced at Uchiha Kakuyama with a flushed face, then staggered back to her room.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama grinned mischievously, wanting to follow her inside.
Seeing this, Kushina quickly waved her hand at him. She was already stuffed, and if she let Qiushan-kun in, she didn't know what time she would be able to get up tomorrow. Uzumaki Kaoru would laugh at her to death. It was better not to let Qiushan-kun in.
Seeing the lingering fear on Kushina's face, Uchiha Kakuzan chuckled and shook his head, waving at her before going downstairs.
However, to Uchiha Kazuyama's surprise, when he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, he saw Tsunade and Shizune sitting quietly there. Uchiha Kazuyama was slightly taken aback, then quickly went to Tsunade's side, put his arm around her, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"Tsunade, it's already late at night, why aren't you asleep yet? You need to know that you're pregnant, and it's not good for you and the baby if you don't get proper rest."
At this point, Uchiha Kagami glanced at Shizune beside him, frowned, and said:
"Shizune, you know Tsunade's situation. Sometimes she's so busy she can't take care of herself. Don't you know how to remind her?"
Upon hearing Qiu Shan-jun's words, Shizune was about to say something when Tsunade stopped her with a gesture, lifted her head, and gently kissed Qiu Shan-jun on the cheek before continuing:
"It's nothing. It's just that we've been busy with the Chunin Exams lately, so I got back a little late."
Chapter 418 Tsunade's Allure
"About the Chunin Exams?"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kagami was also taken aback, and then asked with some confusion:
"Wasn't the Chunin Exams almost over? What happened? Did something go wrong?"
At that moment, Shizune, who was standing nearby, could no longer bear it and spoke up with great dissatisfaction:
