Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

Page 152

Uchiha Kagami leaned against the door and said calmly.

"Ah! Kid! When did you get here!" Even though they were an old married couple, Kushina still blushed and pulled away from Minato's embrace.

“I knocked on the door, but you were so engrossed in your base desires that you didn’t notice.”

"Ugh, what a low-class thing!"

Kushina walked quickly towards Uchiha Kagami, wanting to grab him by the collar just like she did when they were children.

It turned out that the two had a significant height difference, and raising their hands too high was considered unseemly.

Without saying a word, he punched Uchiha Kagami in the chest.

"Ouch!! That hurts! Kid, are you wearing armor?!"

Ignoring Kushina's antics, Uchiha Kagami naturally leaned back on the sofa.

"Is everything ready?"

Uchiha Kagami wasn't asking about the preparations for the closing ceremony.

Instead, it's asking...

Minato Namikaze's preparations to rule the ninja world.

Uchiha Kagami had little interest in ruling; his ambitions transcended this world.

After the anticipated final battle, regardless of victory or defeat, he would not remain in the ninja world.

Before leaving, helping his juniors eliminate some enemies they couldn't deal with at the moment and fulfilling Minato Namikaze's wish were just things he did on the side.

If any difficulties arise afterward, I'll leave them to handle themselves; I can't stop for their sake.

Minato Namikaze sat down opposite him and said in a deep voice, "I have dispatched ninja units to various places. If an uncontrollable situation arises, I have given them the authority to act as they see fit."

There has never been a better time.

"We must firmly establish the ninja world structure with the Land of Fire as its ruling core!"

"In my plan, it will initially take five to ten years to complete the integration, and after things have completely stabilized..."

What do you think of Shisui as the next Hokage?

At least until he grew old, Minato Namikaze could ensure that he would not be corrupted by power.

But he wasn't sure if his thinking would change when he got older.

After all, even Hiruzen Sarutobi showed some signs of this in his later years.

If the future格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) is already set, the Hokage's power is too great; apart from Uchiha Kagami, the supreme ruler of the ninja world, he can decide almost anything.

To maintain the youthfulness of the position, Minato Namikaze decided that he must step down before the age of forty and preserve this tradition.

Unrestrained power is the greatest enemy of peace.

With this thought in mind, Minato Namikaze was very grateful that Kagami Uchiha could still restrain himself.

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Kagami Uchiha shook his head.

"Don't presuppose a particular person."

"What's the difference between this and the old traditions?"

“Since you want to unify the ninja world, then everyone within your territory is qualified to compete for this position.”

"If you think highly of Zhishui, you can nurture and support him, but don't make a decision based on a single word."

"To be honest, I have more faith in Sasuke than Shisui."

Uchiha Kagami smiled slightly: "What we can do is give them a choice, can't we?"

Minato Namikaze smiled with relief.

"Yes, I almost got stubborn. Thank you for reminding me."

Chapter 175 Like a God Descending

This is a silvery-gray grassland, with countless flowers emitting a faint glow drifting across the plain.

Peaceful and serene, utterly tranquil.

But the tranquility was shattered by the sudden appearance of a sharp black tower.

Su Nuo sat cross-legged inside the black tower, like an old monk in deep meditation.

The soul flowers drifting across the grassland, each one exuding a deep, penetrating fragrance, eventually settled into his stomach.

Thoughts collide, memories are read.

This is an extremely wonderful experience, like enjoying a thousand years of ninja history.

Su Nuo put aside his distracting thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this feast.

The gap between life and death.

The Six Paths Immortals gazed at the Pure Land, their brows furrowed in worry.

"This is... our last remaining strength..." Hamura said hoarsely.

He was unhappy that his brother allowed his sons to fight, but he could understand it.

In order to fight against the Otsutsuki clan, the mother wanted to use the ninja world as a nursery.

The Sage of Six Paths wasn't that ruthless; he came up with a compromise.

To create a pure land and gather the souls of those who have died in the ninja world.

This is not a mandatory action. Just like Sakumo Hatake, who died in the original timeline, he did not go to the Pure Land and waited all along.

For example, if a certain evil, thousand-armed, white-haired individual invented the Impure World Summoning Technique, the Pure Land would not restrain him.

If one has sufficient chakra strength and harbors an unwilling desire, one can be reincarnated repeatedly, just like Indra and Ashura.

This is the resting place prepared by the Sage of Six Paths for the deceased.

In dire circumstances, we will also borrow their strength.

The Sage of Six Paths remained indifferent, looking at the ball of soul fire dancing on his staff.

Upon seeing Uchiha Kagami summon the King of Hell, he knew something was wrong and quickly seized several clumps of souls.

There was Uchiha Madara.

He was aware of Madara Uchiha's plans; after all, Madara couldn't obtain the Rinnegan without Madara's access to the power of the myriad phenomena.

The Sage of Six Paths said in a deep voice, "Hamura, take my Yang Release power and go find the reincarnation of Ashura, the one named Senju Hashirama."

"Tell him everything, including the threat from the Otsutsuki clan and what Uchiha Kagami has done."

"The matter is already quite obvious..."

"In order to evolve again, Uchiha Kagami wanted to raise this demon to a terrifying level."

“He can see the future… Perhaps he really can deal with the Otsutsuki from beyond the heavens, but this monster is the result of his deliberate indulgence.”

"We must consider the possibility that this monster might kill Uchiha Kagami..."

"No matter what, only by possessing our own strength can we have the confidence to turn the tide."

Hamura looked at him intently and snorted softly, "So you've finally decided to take action, brother?"

"I thought that a thousand years had completely erased your decisiveness."

The Sage of Six Paths' gaze gradually darkened, and he sighed, "I'm just... afraid of the unknown."

"Kyo has his own pursuits, but I cannot gamble the survival of the ninja world for them."

It wasn't that the Sage of Six Paths didn't understand, but...

Uchiha Kagami's pursuit is here, and so is his ninja world.

Both wanted to solve the calamity in the ninja world, but one was slightly more radical and the other more conservative.

The morning light spread out, bringing a touch of coolness.

But soon, the deafening sound of gongs and drums dispelled the chill.

A group set off from the gates of Konoha, led by a man with black hair, red eyes, and a tall, slender figure.

Uchiha Genka.

After years of training, as one of the earliest bodyguards to follow Uchiha Kagami, he also learned the secrets of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, he lacks the talent to awaken the Perfect Mangekyou Sharingan. Even if Uchiha Kagami were willing to help, he would not be able to control such power.

He still has a chance with a regular kaleidoscope. At this point, his accumulated pupil power has reached a critical point; with a little stimulation, he might just awaken it.

He was dressed in solid-colored, close-fitting black leather armor, with a silver-white longsword hanging at his waist, and the Uchiha behind him were dressed in the same attire.

Behind the procession were the carriages escorting lords from various regions.

It was nominally an escort mission, but it was more like a transport operation.

Some of the Uchiha members in the group, unable to hide their excitement, couldn't conceal their true feelings.

they know……

The moment when the Uchiha clan reigns supreme is finally approaching!

It wasn't just people like Tobirama Senju who wanted Kagami Uchiha to rule the ninja world; many Uchiha also hoped that Kagami would extend his rule to the entire ninja world.

They don't consider management or economic issues.

A simple cerebellum has only one thought.

Domination, isn't it just about having a bigger fist than the other side?

Their ideas... can't be said to be wrong.

However, back when Uchiha Kagami hadn't risen to power, they dared to hold a clan meeting and challenge Fugaku, but things are different now.

Since Uchiha Kagami didn't speak, they didn't dare to utter a sound.

The sound of firm footsteps echoed, a resounding murmur of power.

Among the onlookers.

Naruto pressed down on Sasuke's shoulder to try and get a better view, shouting excitedly.

"So cool! I really want to join the Uchiha Guard!"

Karin punched Naruto on the head, yelling, "Get away from Sasuke-kun!"

"Besides! You're from the Uzumaki clan, you're supposed to inherit the Uzumaki clan's name, what are you talking about joining the Uchiha clan for!"

Her face suddenly flushed, her expression changed, and she leaned closer to Sasuke, saying in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'm the one who should be joining the Uchiha clan, right, Sasuke-kun~"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the two brats with vortexes, then looked at Uchiha Genka at the front of the group.

One day, I will be able to stand in that position!

No... I want to stand even higher!

A raised platform was laid out in Konoha Square, with plenty of seats reserved in front of it.

The Uchiha shooed the lords from various regions who had been 'invited' to take their seats, separating them from the high platform.

There was only one long table on the high platform, with eight seats.

Uchiha Kagami sat in the center, with Namikaze Minato on his left and Hatake Sakumo on his right.

On either side of the long table were Jiraiya, Kakashi, Nagato, Hashirama Senju, and Shisui.

Gently tap the table.

The square, where tens of thousands of people had gathered, suddenly fell silent.

All eyes turned to the platform, awaiting the speaker's address.

"First of all, I formally bestow upon you the title of Shadow."

Uchiha Kagami spoke slowly, leaving no room for argument.

"Jiraiya, ruler of the Land of Lightning, is known as Kumokage."

"Shishui governs the land of earth, and is called Yanying."
