When faced with Yugito's words, Uchiha Kakuzan was at a loss for words. Although his space-time ninjutsu and the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique were two different things, it was still quite a task to explain to her.
Seeing that the man in front of him remained silent, Yugito continued:
"I advise you to release me immediately. Although you are clever to move me to an island, you have underestimated the determination and methods of the Raikage. Even if you move me to a faraway place, he will definitely find me."
Uchiha Kakuzan, after hearing Yugito's advice, came to his senses and said with some disdain, "The Raikage's methods? Is it the Iron Seal on your body, which is derived from the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique and has a backup plan that can pinpoint your location, or is it that space-time ninjutsu from your Kumogakure village—the Heavenly Delivery Technique?"
Every time Uchiha Kakuyama spoke, Yugito's body stiffened. After he finished speaking, Yugito didn't know what to say and stood there feeling helpless. This was because what the man in front of him said were top secrets of Kumogakure. Not to mention that they had been leaked, even among the people of Kumogakure, very few knew this information, and without exception, they were all high-ranking members of Kumogakure.
The Iron Seal is the sealing technique used by the Jinchuriki to seal the Tailed Beasts. She only knew it was the Iron Seal, but didn't know it originated from the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. However, since the person in front of her spoke with such certainty, it must be true; she just didn't know it herself.
Not many people know about the Heavenly Transfer Technique, because it belongs to the space-time ninjutsu of Mabui from the Hidden Cloud Village. It is mainly used for teleporting items. Although there are not many restrictions, apart from the powerful physique of the Fourth Raikage, most people cannot withstand the pressure of using it for teleportation.
Seeing the stiff Yugito, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his words had impressed her, and she would be able to listen to what he said next.
Chapter 258 Illusion and the Future
Chapter 258 Illusion and the Future
Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at Yugito, who was already stunned by him, and then increased the dosage. Ignoring her expression, he went straight to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and, to her surprise, teleported her to the highest point of the island.
Uchiha Kakuyama released her shoulder and said leisurely.
“You’re wrong about one thing. This isn’t an overseas island, but my own space. Yukito, welcome to my space.”
Yugito was initially wondering what this person wanted to do with her.
But then I heard him say these things.
Yugito was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and looked around at his surroundings.
This is a very large island, large enough to form a small country, but Yukito paid no attention to that and instead looked at the vast sea around him.
In her view, there was only the sea, and no trace of other islands or continents, which was very suspicious.
Then, Yugito raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky was very blue and cloudless, which was very pleasing to the eye. However, what made Yugito's pupils contract sharply was that there was no sun in the sky. Although the light was bright, there was no source of light.
Yugito seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable, looking back and forth in different directions, muttering to himself:
"No sun, no islands, no birds—where am I?"
Seeing Yugito's reaction, Uchiha Kakuzan said, "Now you believe me, right? This is indeed my space. Only with my permission can one enter this space."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito suddenly looked at him, as if asking him a question, or perhaps asking herself:
"Are you a god?"
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Yugito with some surprise upon hearing her words, wondering what she was thinking. He remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky, where the oppressive aura emanating from above was becoming increasingly pronounced.
Uchiha Kakuzan sighed and shook his head:
"I am not a god, at most I am his successor."
When Yugito heard Uchiha Kakuzan's words, he subconsciously thought that he was referring to this huge space, but he didn't know that he meant something else.
Yugito calmed down and looked at the distant sea, saying:
"Who are you? Can you tell me?"
Uchiha Kakuyama raised an eyebrow, knowing that Yugito intended to communicate with him, and looked at her and said...
"Now, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Okayama, the head of the Uchiha clan, and also the leader of the Konoha Anbu. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Yugito."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito smiled slightly. Just as she had expected, the identity of the man before her was pretty much as she had guessed.
However, Yugito continued, "Then, Mr. Okayama, what is your purpose in kidnapping me? I believe that Mr. Okayama is also a person who understands the big picture. If the news of your kidnapping of me from Kumogakure comes to the attention of our village's Raikage, he will definitely launch a war against Konoha without hesitation."
Upon hearing Yugito's question, Uchiha Kakuzan frowned in slight distress and hesitated before replying, "How can I explain this to you in a way that you can understand and believe me? Oh, I've got it."
Then, Uchiha Kakuyama activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, looked at the somewhat nervous Yugito, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want you to see some things."
Then, Uchiha Kakuzan used his eye technique on Yugito.
"Pupil Technique - Illusion - Fleeting Space"
In the illusion, Uchiha Kakuzan showed Yugito the process of being captured by the Akatsuki, having her tailed beast extracted, and her tragic death. Of course, since Uchiha Kakuzan didn't know much about these processes, he incorporated some of the battle between Pain and Naruto Uzumaki into the story. The process wasn't important; what mattered was the result. The result was that she died tragically at Hidan's hands, and the Two-Tails was extracted.
After Uchiha Kakuzan and Yugito emerged from the illusion, Yugito stood there blankly, unable to accept what had happened. She hadn't expected to die so tragically, and that her companion, the Two-Tails, would be extracted and imprisoned inside that giant statue.
After waiting for a while, Yugito seemed to have recovered, rolled her eyes, and turned to look at Uchiha Kakuyama.
"Is all of this true? Do you possess the ability to foresee the future?"
Looking at Yugito, whose face had turned pale, Uchiha Kakuyama slowly nodded and said:
"This is the power of my Mangekyou Sharingan. It only allows me to see fragments of the future, not to know everything that will happen in the future. These things are all real, so I kidnapped you to prevent you from being killed by the Akatsuki in the future."
If you don't believe me, you can ask the Two-Tails inside your body. Although I severed the chakra between you, it doesn't stop you from communicating.
And it's not just you. In the future, the Akatsuki organization plans to collect all the Tailed Beasts, seemingly to revive something and control the world. In the fragments I've seen, the Akatsuki has already collected the One-Tailed to the Seven-Tailed Beasts. As for the fate of the Eight-Tailed and Nine-Tailed Beasts, that's unclear.
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito immediately closed his eyes to verify them, seemingly to communicate with the Two-Tails.
Upon entering the consciousness space with her eyes closed, Yukito couldn't wait to call out, "Yukito, Yukito, come out quickly, I need to talk to you."
As Yugito called out, a gigantic cat appeared before her, its entire body covered in blue chakra flames. Looking at her, it said with a hint of annoyance, "Yugito, I already told you, my name is Matatabi, Matatabi, don't call me Little Matatabi anymore."
Yugito didn't have time to worry about any of that. When he saw Two-Tails appear, he hurriedly said in a flustered manner, "I just talked to that Uchiha clan member. He told me some things. Can you confirm if it's true?"
Then, Yugito recounted everything she had seen in the illusion to Nio in detail.
The Two-Tails is over a thousand years old, and when it first gained consciousness, it spent some time with the Sage of Six Paths along with the other tailed beasts. Therefore, it knows some of the secrets of the ninja world.
Upon hearing what Yugito said, it realized that what the Uchiha person said might be true. After thinking for a while, it said, "Yugito, tell me clearly what that statue looks like, and describe it in detail."
Chapter 259 Ten-Tailed Shell
Chapter 259 The Ten-Tailed Shell
Upon hearing Yugito's description, Futau Matatabi sensed something was amiss and gave the order...
"Yukito, tell me what that giant sculpture looks like, describe it in detail."
Seeing that the two-tailed creature looked serious, Yugito knew the gravity of the situation and described in detail the appearance of the sculpture she had seen in the illusion.
After listening to Yugito's words, the appearance of the sculpture she described felt increasingly familiar to the two-tailed dog, until finally, it overlapped with a certain image in its heart.
At that moment, even the Two-Tails couldn't help but exclaim, "Ten-Tails, Ten-Tails, that's the Ten-Tails' husk!"
Yugito was somewhat taken aback by the Two-Tails' exclamation. The Ten-Tails? When did a Ten-Tails appear?
Two-Tailed Cat seemed to be shocked as well, and after a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice:
"This Uchiha clan member is likely telling the truth, otherwise, he wouldn't know about such ancient things."
"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan has always been mysterious, possessing many incredible abilities. I never imagined it would actually have the ability to see into the future."
Upon hearing the Two-Tails' words, Yugito felt as if a kitten was scratching at his heart. He frowned in slight distress and asked, "Two-Tails, what is the Ten-Tails? Is it a tailed beast that has never been born?"
Upon hearing Yugito's words, the Two-Tails also fell into reminiscence. After a while, it said, "The Ten-Tails actually existed, but it was so long ago that you haven't heard of it."
"Don't even mention you. I feel that in the entire ninja world, those who know about the Ten-Tails are extremely rare."
Yugito, also curious, looked at the two-tailed beast in front of him and asked, "Too far? How far?"
The two-tailed cat looked down at Yugito again, then lazily lay down, flicked its two tails, and said to Yugito, "Hmm, it must be at least a thousand years old."
Yugito was stunned when he heard what the Two-Tailed Fox said. In this era, let alone thousands of years, even hundreds of years would be five or six generations.
Thousands of years ago? Things from thousands of years ago have long been consigned to the dustbin of history and could never have survived.
Yugito looked at the Two-Tails and asked with some curiosity, "Was the Two-Tails also just born back then? It must have been fluffy and very cute."
Two-Tailed Fox looked at its host with a hint of helplessness and said, "I wasn't even born back then."
Upon hearing what the Two-Tails said, Yugito asked curiously, "You weren't even born back then, so you shouldn't have seen the so-called Ten-Tails. How can you be sure that the statue I told you about is related to the Ten-Tails?"
Two-Tailed Cat fell silent again, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought. Just as Yugito was about to lose her temper, Two-Tailed Cat's gentle voice reached her ears.
"Because all of this was told to us by the old man of the Six Paths,"
Upon hearing the Two-Tails' words, Yugito felt he had misheard and asked hesitantly, "The Sage of Six Paths?"
"Yes, it's the Sage of Six Paths. The Ten-Tails was defeated and sealed by the old man, the Sage of Six Paths."
"And we Tailed Beasts were formed when the Six Paths Sage defeated and sealed the Ten-Tails, and then extracted its chakra from his body."
"In other words, we tailed beasts are the predecessors of the ten-tailed beast. If we put all the tailed beasts into the body left behind by the ten-tailed beast, it is very likely that we can revive the ten-tailed beast."
After hearing such a terrifying secret, Yugito was speechless. He could only look at the Two-Tails' enormous body and sigh:
"You tailed beasts can turn the ninja world upside down. If you were to revive the Ten-Tails, wouldn't you be able to destroy the entire world?"
When Two-Tails heard Yugito's words, he did not refute them. Indeed, in his opinion, if the Ten-Tails were to be resurrected, no one could stop it except for the Sage of Six Paths.
After pondering for a while, Yugito said, "If that's the case, then Uchiha Kakuzan's purpose in kidnapping me was not only to save my life, but also to prevent the Ten-Tails from being resurrected."
Otherwise, once the Ten-Tails is resurrected, this world will be finished.
The two-tailed cat wagged its tail again and echoed.
"It should be. Although this Uchiha clan member's strength is already similar to that of Madara Uchiha back then, he would still be no match for the Ten-Tails if he were to fight it. After all, there is only one Sage of Six Paths in this world."
Just as Yugito had breathed a sigh of relief, after hearing Two-Tails' words, he asked again, as if stimulated:
"That Uchiha clan guy is as strong as the legendary Uchiha Madara? How is that possible?"
As Yugito refuted, he recalled the overly young and handsome face of Uchiha Kakuzan.
After hearing Yugito's words, Two-Tails glanced at her and said, "How can this Uchiha Okayama not be comparable to Uchiha Madara?"
His eyes are now the same as Madara Uchiha's—the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Even if his strength is slightly weaker than Madara's, it's not far behind.
Seeing that Yugito did not refute, Two-Tails continued, "Otherwise, do you think an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan can deal with me? I am a renowned Tailed Beast. Unless I encounter uncontrollable factors, there is no way I could be controlled in a single encounter."
The Two-Tails' words dispelled a question in Yugito's mind. She was also puzzled; as the Two-Tails' jinchūriki, her strength should be at least at the peak of Kage level, so how could she have been defeated in a single exchange?
It turns out it wasn't because she was bad at the game, but because the enemy was too strong.
Just as Yugito had finished processing these secrets and was about to speak, Two-Tailed Cat suddenly said, "Yugito, could I lend you my body for a moment? I want to have a direct conversation with him and see what else he knows."
Because of her good relationship with Two-Tails, Yugito nodded in agreement after hearing Two-Tails' request.
Uchiha Kakuyama was admiring the scenery in the distance when suddenly, Yugito, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened them with a whoosh, but the light in her eyes was different from that of the usual Yugito.
Before Uchiha Kakuzan could even get a good look at himself, Yugito suddenly spoke up, "You must be Uchiha Kakuzan, the head of the Uchiha clan. Let me introduce myself. I am Yugito's partner—the Two-Tails."
Upon hearing the words of the person before him, Uchiha Kakuzan realized that the person in front of him was the legendary Two-Tails.
P.S.: Thank you so much, Yang Shiman from Wanqiu Mountain, for the gift!
Chapter 260 Greedy Cat
Chapter 260 The Glutton
Two-Tails' expression was very serious, and her aura carried an air of antiquity, greatly increasing her oppressive presence.
However, this had absolutely no effect on Uchiha Kakuzan, since he now had the strength to easily control these tailed beasts.
Some things, once you've reached a certain level of strength, become easy to handle.
Facing the sudden appearance of the Two-Tails, Uchiha Kakuzan crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and said...
"Two-Tails Matatabi, hello. I am Uchiha Okayama, the head of the Uchiha clan."
Hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, the Two-Tails was also somewhat surprised. After all, they usually don't tell the names of their tailed beasts to others, except to those they acknowledge.
Moreover, even if they were to tell someone, they would only tell them their own name. Although they knew the names of the other tailed beasts, they would never tell anyone the names of the other tailed beasts.
And this Uchiha Kakuyama already knew its name, which is quite remarkable.
After the two finished introducing themselves, Two-Tails asked:
"Head of the Uchiha clan, I now believe in your abilities. So, could you tell me who is collecting the tailed beasts?"
Because ordinary people, let alone collecting us, might not even be able to successfully seal us away individually.
Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at the Two-Tails and said with a hint of amusement.
"What if someone possesses the Rinnegan? Could they extract you and place you inside the Ten-Tails' body?"
Two-Tails fell silent upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words. Indeed, the Tailed Beasts were originally created by the Sage of Six Paths, and since that person possessed the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan, sealing them would indeed be an easy task.
Two-Tails nodded and admitted, "Indeed, we don't have much ability to resist the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan."
······
Uchiha Kakuzan had indeed never interacted with a tailed beast before. He chatted with her enthusiastically for a while before sending her back.
