Chapter 364, Bringing a Son to Reincarnate?
The arrival of Yi Shuihan completely put Minato Namikaze at ease; he couldn't imagine who else in the world could defeat Yi Shuihan.
"He possesses a technique that allows him to make his body intangible, rendering attacks ineffective. However, he will always materialize when he launches an attack. The only way to defeat him is to take advantage of that moment."
Minato Namikaze shared the intelligence he had gathered.
You saw through my other self's technique so quickly? As expected of Minato-sensei.
But even if you see through me, so what? As long as I don't take the initiative to attack, you still can't do anything to me.
Obito Uchiha, possessing two Mangekyou Sharingan, was far superior to the one-eyed Obito in the original story, making him capable of both offense and defense.
His right eye can become ethereal, meaning that the attacked part can be transferred to a special space the instant it is attacked. He calls this the Kamui dimension. With this ability, his defense is basically invincible. Neither ninjutsu nor taijutsu are effective. Genjutsu is possible, but there are very few genjutsu that can work against the Sharingan.
The left eye can teleport enemy attacks or the enemy itself over long distances, including a part of the body. The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of chakra.
If you have enough chakra, you can kill anyone you glare at; it's simply heaven-defying.
With such powerful eye techniques, it's no wonder he dared to cause such a ruckus in Konoha all by himself.
"You can't stop me. No matter how many people come, it won't change anything. The Nine-Tails is destined to appear, and Konoha is destined to be destroyed."
"How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of my master! I can send you to your own death without my master even lifting a finger."
“That’s right. You dare to be so arrogant in front of Brother Yi. You really don’t take him seriously. Brother Yi can tolerate this, but I can’t.”
Ye Gucheng and Namikaze Minato both angrily accused the masked man, saying they would be fierce, but they didn't actually do anything about it.
Moreover, these words repeatedly suggest that the masked man doesn't take Yi Shuihan seriously. What is he trying to do in front of Yi Shuihan?
Trying to provoke me into making a move? Those two brats, Yi Shuihan saw through their intentions at a glance.
Although I know that the two of them just want me to help them out, I can't let them get away with this!
With a strange smile, Yi Shuihan suddenly said to Uchiha Obito, "Your goal is to break the seal on the Nine-Tails, right? Fine, I'll give you a chance. Let's see if you can let the Nine-Tails out. You two kids shouldn't stop him."
"What?" Obito Uchiha was stunned. He had never expected this development, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Compared to Obito Uchiha, Minato Namikaze and his group had the strongest reactions.
"Master, you must be joking, right? If the Nine-Tails seal is broken, what about Kushina?"
"Brother Yi..."
Even Minato Namikaze, who had become Hokage and experienced countless life-or-death trials, and had long since reached a point where he was unfazed by honor or disgrace, was still quite frightened at this moment.
Even though he knew that Yi Shuihan was probably just joking, Minato Namikaze still instinctively activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to Kushina's side, watching the masked man warily.
“I will keep my word, but before that, you have to wait until she has given birth.”
Yi Shuihan continued.
"Wait until she gives birth?" the masked man murmured, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "Then let's wait."
Obito Uchiha naturally wouldn't believe Yi Shuihan's words so easily. However, facing three people, each of whom was a top-tier expert, would make it extremely difficult for him to achieve his goal. At this moment, he was merely stalling for time and devising a countermeasure.
If Yi Shuihan's words are true, then it naturally suits his wishes; if they are false, he has his own ways of dealing with it.
The scene became incredibly quiet, with only Kushina Uzumaki's painful screams continuing.
"Why do I suddenly feel a little desolate? It must be my imagination, right? Hmm, that must be it."
Yi Shuihan smiled, but in his heart he was looking forward to seeing how Obito Uchiha would react when he discovered that even if the seal was broken, the Nine-Tails would still not break free.
As for forcibly controlling the Nine-Tails with the Sharingan, Yi Shuihan can only say that you're thinking too simply. You're too naive. The eye power that can control tailed beasts is ultimately just a mental impression. Yi Shuihan can block such things with a mere thought.
"Wait a minute, something's not right!"
Suddenly, Yi Shuihan sensed something amiss, and immediately focused his mind, discovering that something was wrong.
Holy crap? Isn't that the Sage of Six Paths? And what's that he's holding? Could it be that Naruto inherited his son's will because of that thing in his hand?
For some reason, Yi Shuihan suddenly had this idea, and as soon as it appeared, he was convinced of its correctness.
And that is indeed the case. If the Sage of Six Paths hadn't put what he had into Kushina Uzumaki's body, then the Naruto born from him, even if he was named Naruto, would probably not have been the protagonist who mastered the ultimate jutsu, the talk-no-jutsu.
This is so unexpected! Is Naruto able to inherit the will of the Sage of Six Paths' son because he's still under the Sage of Six Paths' control? This doesn't happen in the original story!
"Have I been discovered?" The Sage of Six Paths noticed Yi Shuihan's gaze and was quite surprised, because this time it was different from last time. Last time he didn't hide at all, but this time he deliberately concealed his aura, believing that even at his peak strength, he wouldn't be able to detect him.
But Yi Shuihan discovered that this meant something. Although it didn't prove that Yi Shuihan's strength was above his peak, it at least meant that Yi Shuihan had surpassed his peak in terms of perception.
"What are you looking at, Master?"
As Yi Shuihan's disciple, Ye Gucheng knew Yi Shuihan best. Suddenly, he saw Yi Shuihan staring intently in a certain direction and immediately became suspicious.
In a chaotic space, Yi Shuihan's spiritual avatar reappeared before the Six Paths Immortal.
"Old man, what are you doing here? You're not here to take your son to be reincarnated, are you?"
Chapter 365. Isn't there a way to break the seal without touching the body?
"how do you know?"
The Sage of Six Paths' expression changed, and he subconsciously hid his hands behind his back. This obvious protection showed how much he valued what he held.
To think that he actually guessed right! So, the Sage of Six Paths really is a cunning old fox!
In other words, how could someone who once sealed away his own mother and became the strongest being in the entire ninja world really just be watching from behind the scenes?
"Guess!"
Revealing his pearly white teeth, Yi Shuihan spoke frankly.
The Six Paths Immortal looked at Yi Shuihan with suspicion, but of course he couldn't tell that Yi Shuihan was lying.
"Could it really be a guess?"
Although they hadn't completely let down their guard against Yi Shuihan, they were no longer hostile.
"Since you're here to bring your son to be reincarnated, why are you still watching the show? Hurry up! If this continues, your son's mother will be in excruciating pain."
"Your son's mother!" Yi Shuihan's words made the Six Paths Immortal somewhat embarrassed.
"The old man is now just a soul, so don't talk nonsense."
This is to prove her purity!
The words of the Six Paths Immortal amused Yi Shuihan; he hadn't expected that this old fellow would still care about such things.
But to be honest, Naruto is also the son of the Sage of Six Paths, so how should we define his relationship with Minato Namikaze?
Under Yi Shuihan's curious gaze, the Sage of Six Paths' expression became complicated. He slowly raised his hand, and the aggregate of will in his hand floated up.
The aggregate of wills seems to be very attached to the Sage of Six Paths and has no intention of leaving.
"Go! Go do what you should be doing."
The aggregate of wills trembled, emitting an unknown, mysterious fluctuation, as if it were conveying something.
The Sage of Six Paths didn't speak, but his gaze softened considerably as he looked gently at the aggregate of wills. After a moment, he finally made the ruthless decision to throw it away.
The aggregate of wills transformed into a light invisible to ordinary people and entered Kushina Uzumaki's stomach, merging with the newly born soul inside.
So that's what the so-called inheritance of will means! This explains why Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are also said to be inheritors of the will of the Sage of Six Paths' son.
The will they inherited was actually just a part of the soul of the Sage of Six Paths' true son. The inheritors were not reincarnations, which is why they were not unique. This is why Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were able to be resurrected by the Reanimation Jutsu when Naruto and Sasuke were still alive.
"The rest is up to you."
After giving a deep look in the direction of Kushina Uzumaki, the Sage of Six Paths spoke solemnly to Yi Shuihan.
"Don't worry, I'll treat that little guy well, but I just don't know if he can learn how to talk his way out of anything."
As Yi Shuihan's voice rang out, his body began to disintegrate, and his consciousness returned completely to his original form.
"Talk-no-jutsu! What kind of escape technique is that?"
No one could answer the Sage of Six Paths' questions.
In reality, when Yi Shuihan's consciousness fully returned, a cry rang out, and our protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, finally descended into this world.
“Wow wow wow”
The newborn Naruto, seemingly lacking experience as it was his first time being human, couldn't adapt to the complex environment immediately, and his cries never stopped.
Naruto's safe passing clearly made Minato Namikaze very happy, and the excitement in his eyes was impossible to hide. However, considering the current situation, Minato did not hug his son immediately, but instead gripped the special kunai in his hand even tighter.
"Good boy... good boy! Naruto, Mommy is here, and Daddy is here too. We'll protect you."
Even with a formidable enemy at hand, Kushina Uzumaki focused her attention more on her son. Despite being attacked by the Blood Pepper in the car, she displayed maternal warmth and tenderness towards her son, just like any ordinary woman.
With Kushina's comforting words, Naruto gradually stopped crying, calmed down, and eventually fell asleep, seemingly sleeping very soundly.
The Uzumaki clan's constitution is indeed very powerful. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even have the strength to move after giving birth. However, Kushina Uzumaki was already able to stand up with difficulty. Although it was definitely impossible for her to fight, it was still amazing enough.
"Now, it should be okay, right?"
A hoarse voice came through the mask, instantly making the atmosphere tense.
Upon hearing the masked man's words, everyone turned their attention to Yi Shuihan. Compared to the masked man, Yi Shuihan's will was more important at this moment.
No matter how confident Minato Namikaze was in his own strength, and how certain he was that he could defeat the masked man head-on, he knew he would have no way to resist if Yi Shuihan really wanted to interfere.
He thought that he might be able to escape with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he didn't dare to actually do it. In fact, he had a very strong premonition that the Flying Thunder God Technique would become ineffective because of Yi Shuihan's presence.
"Kushina, come here and let him try to get the Nine-Tails out."
Yi Shuihan beckoned to Kushina Uzumaki and said something that made Minato Namikaze's heart clench.
"Kushina, you don't..."
"Minato!" Kushina Uzumaki gave Minato Namikaze a reassuring look, then said to Yi Shuihan, "Yes, I'm coming right now."
Holding Naruto, Kushina walked to Minato Namikaze's side, handed Naruto to him, and then walked towards the masked man under Minato's stunned gaze.
"Master?" Ye Gucheng couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted to plead for mercy.
"I have my own ideas."
After this, I hope they won't try to provoke me into taking action so easily again!
He actually did it? What was he thinking?!
Looking at Kushina Uzumaki so close to him, Obito Uchiha felt an overwhelming joy in his heart.
"and many more!"
Just as Obito Uchiha was forming hand seals to break the seal, Yi Shuihan's voice finally rang out.
"stop"
Minato Namikaze shouted loudly, his body already disappearing from the spot. In the nick of time, he still intended to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to save people.
However, Minato Namikaze was ultimately a step too late, or rather, someone was faster than him.
"what do you mean?"
Yi Shuihan grasped Obito Uchiha's wrist, just centimeters away from sealing him.
"Isn't there a way to break the seal without touching the body?"
Chapter 366, Nine-Tailed Fox, are you sure you want to come out?
Yi Shuihan's words made Obito Uchiha, who was about to become intangible, pause. His expression under the mask was quite interesting, but no one could see it at the moment.
So that's the reason?!
"Don't even think about taking advantage of others when the seal is broken. I, Yi Shuihan, will absolutely not allow such immoral things to happen."
The righteous and eloquent voice resounded in the small space, even echoing.
"I understand. I won't touch her body. You can let go now, right?"
"Okay, that's good. Don't have any bad thoughts, I'll be watching carefully from the side."
Yi Shuihan released his hand and warned.
"Cough cough," Kushina Uzumaki said with a strange look, "Can you listen to me? If possible, I can actually remove the seal myself."
Indeed, as a member of the Uzumaki clan, she possesses an extremely high talent for sealing. Kushina Uzumaki is also very skilled at breaking seals. Although she has never tried to break the seal on the Nine-Tails, it does not prevent her from doing so.
It's much better for her to break the seal herself than for someone else to break it; at least she'll suffer less harm after the seal is broken.
"That's a good idea, don't you think, masked man!"
The masked man remained silent for a moment, then took a step back, which was considered an acceptance of Kushina Uzumaki's suggestion.
