Chapter 88 Madara Uchiha's Interest: Call Me Dad
The Ninja World War was a world-class event.
Even if the battlefield is not in one's own country and is very far away, it will still attract the attention of the entire ninja continent and even overseas countries.
When a major event occurs on the battlefield, the news quickly spreads throughout the entire ninja world.
The person involved in the incident will become the subject of discussion throughout the entire ninja world.
A person who accomplishes something significant during the Fourth Shinobi World War, even if they were once an unknown individual, can quickly become a renowned figure in the shinobi world.
Neither the legendary Sannin of Konoha nor the White Fang of Konoha are the best examples.
Before they fought Hanzo the Salamander and killed Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, they were already elite Jonin listed in the ninja manuals of various countries, and commanders on two fronts.
The best example is Might Guy, who was just a genin during the Third Shinobi World War in the original story.
With a single move, the Eight Gates Formation nearly wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a group of seven elite fighters. The survivors spread the fame of the Eight Gates Formation throughout the entire ninja world.
From then on, the Eight Gates Formation became known to everyone.
Might Guy's fame is so great that even if he doesn't master more than two nature transformations or is not good at ninjutsu, he can still become Konoha's main fighting force by relying on taijutsu.
Like Might Guy, there was also Uchiha Shisui, who developed the Phantom Body Flicker Technique.
Despite possessing incredibly powerful illusion techniques, he earned the title "Shimosui" (meaning "Instantaneous Movement of Still Water"), and his fame was so great that almost everyone knew him.
Finally, Minato Namikaze single-handedly killed dozens of Iwa ninja, instantly becoming a supernova in the Third Shinobi World War.
The current Gojo Yoru is following in Minato Namikaze's footsteps, only with a higher level of skill and prestige.
First, he injured the salamander and forcefully stepped onto the grand stage of the ninja world.
But at that time, he was just a rising star.
Wounding is not the same as killing, and the battles of ninjas are battles of intelligence.
Many people believe that Gojo Yoru only managed to injure the salamander by sheer luck, thanks to his Flying Thunder God Technique's first encounter kill.
Once the intelligence was exposed, it was virtually impossible for him to replicate it again.
The following four months proved those people's guesses correct.
Gojo Yoru, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, did not become the protagonist of this probing period, and there was no longer any news of him making a move.
Clearly, his strength was too weak, so Konoha protected him.
Unexpectedly, Gojo Yoru, who had been silent all along, achieved a super S-class result when he finally did.
The instant kill of Sunagakure's intelligence chief and fifty-four Anbu members—this is a genuine achievement, especially considering that the Flying Thunder God Technique had already been exposed.
Anyone who has seen that photo will find it terrifying to think about.
What kind of speed and strength was required to dismember an elder from one of the five great ninja villages and fifty-four high-level fighters before they even had a chance to react or retaliate?
Could the Second Hokage, who invented the Flying Thunder God Technique, do it?
Does he have such a record?
Just as Might Guy made the Eight Gates famous throughout the ninja world, Gojo Yoru also made the Flying Thunder God Technique reach the top of the ninja world again, becoming a super S-rank ultimate technique known to everyone.
It even shows a tendency to surpass its predecessors.
"If Gojo Yoru performs a few more great feats with the Flying Thunder God Technique, and if a little more time passes, Tobirama Senju might lose the copyright, and in the future people will call it the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Black Flash."
The growing reputation of Gojo Yoru as the fastest ninja in the world is the greatest recognition of his strength.
The situation on the battlefield is quietly changing.
Chiyo is about to go berserk!
Both Hanzo the Salamander and Onoki learned from Ebizo's mistakes and adopted different countermeasures.
And this news naturally reached someone's ears.
"Lord Madara, that brat who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique has done something big again—"
In the dimly lit underground space, the upper body of a White Zetsu emerged from the ground and informed Madara Uchiha of Gojo Yoru's news that he had instantly killed fifty-five Sand Ninja.
At the same time, he also handed over the photo that would be mass-produced by various newspapers and spread throughout the entire ninja world in just a few days to Uchiha Madara.
Madara Uchiha was not interested in the former. If a technique capable of killing Izuna could not achieve that level, then Tobirama Senju would not be worthy of his attention.
However, upon seeing that photo, Madara Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly narrowed slightly.
Then his gaze fell on White Zetsu: "Did you see that brat make a move?"
"no."
White Zetsu shook his head, looking helpless: "Just like you said, Lord Madara, we can't track down the user of the Flying Thunder God Technique. We finally find his location, but then he teleports, and we have to start searching all over again."
"I'm worried about being discovered by him, but I don't dare to leave the spore technique on him."
Madara Uchiha straightened up slightly, holding the photo in both hands. His Sharingan's dynamic vision ignored the dim environment and took in every detail of the picture.
A few seconds later, he asked again, "Did he discover your previous observations?"
"Absolutely not," White Zetsu assured.
"That has nothing to do with perception, but we still need to be careful," Madara Uchiha said coldly. "Gathering at a secret base, checking and setting up barriers are basic common sense for ninjas. They are the intelligence kings of Sunagakure, and the ANBU are skilled in reconnaissance and assassination. They wouldn't make such a basic mistake."
"But this photo shows the Flying Thunder God Technique formulas all over the ground."
"This brat either possesses powerful stealth and infiltration abilities, like your mayfly technique, which allows him to ignore barriers and perception, then set up a spell under these guys' feet, and use the Flying Thunder God Technique and Flying Thunder God Slash to instantly kill them."
"Or it could be that his Flying Thunder God Technique no longer requires a spell coordinate system to teleport objects remotely."
"Or perhaps—this is a facade he set up afterward."
Madara Uchiha glanced at the photo again, his gaze deep, and said, "He's using the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Flying Thunder God Slash to conceal some kind of ability."
"This ability is the key to his ability to instantly kill these guys."
Regardless of the method, it successfully piqued Madara Uchiha's interest.
"You're kidding, right? He also has the Mayfly Technique?" White Zetsu's eyes widened, then he looked panicked. "Doesn't that mean he's actually discovered us, but he's just pretending not to know?"
"The Mayfly Technique is your unique ability. Unless he awakens Wood Release, it's impossible for him to discover you who have become one with the earth and vegetation," Madara Uchiha analyzed. "It should be a secret technique similar to Transparent Release, or a bloodline limit."
"If it's just these two types of abilities, there's no need to hide them. After all, if Konoha distributes this photo, there must be many smart people who can find something wrong with it and will definitely take countermeasures."
"That junior from Amegakure might have discovered his ability to conceal chakra a few months ago."
""
"He must be hiding an even bigger secret, which is probably why that monkey values him and cultivates him into a role model for the new generation."
Madara Uchiha thought about it and decided to abandon the idea of having White Zetsu monitor Gojo Yoru, as it would be pointless.
With the number of White Zetsu increasing, if something unexpected happens and that brat discovers their existence, it might affect his plans.
Therefore, Madara Uchiha instructed, "Strengthen surveillance in the Land of Rain. If that brat enters the territory of the Land of Rain, keep a close eye on him."
"He has a close relationship with this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and may have a natural affinity for red-haired people. We must prevent him from getting close to Nagato. If necessary, we can have Tobi possess someone and then stop him."
Bai Jue suddenly suggested, "Why don't we have A Fei kill him?"
"Don't offer opinions if you don't have a brain. He's an agile ninja. Wood Release is a technique with a clear wind-up. Before Tobi could even use it, he had already disappeared."
Surrounded by such foolish subordinates, Madara Uchiha sometimes felt really exhausted.
"Do as I say. You can report to me on anything related to that brat in the future." Madara Uchiha waved his hand and closed his eyes again, using the Gedo Mazo to prolong his life.
Madara Uchiha was unaware that Yudo, who had been inside the Gedo Mazo, was using Yin-Yang Release from time to time to influence Madara's will through the tubes, gradually making Madara realize that the figure who was preparing to appear in the future as an incarnation of his will had heard all of Madara's conversation with White Zetsu.
This figure was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki's third son. Besides Isshiki Otsutsuki and Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the sages of the three holy lands, he was the third humanoid old schemer in the ninja world to live for a thousand years—Black Zetsu Otsutsuki.
Just like Madara Uchiha, Kuro wasn't interested at all in the news that he had instantly killed 55 Sand Ninjas with Yoruichi.
This is just a minor squabble by inferior creatures.
If it weren't for the fact that the method used to instantly kill them was a space-time type Flying Thunder God Technique, Black Zetsu wouldn't even bother listening.
However, Madara Uchiha's analysis caught his attention.
Both of the first two possibilities would make Gojo Yoru a very troublesome opponent.
The last one gives Gojo Yoru an air of mystery.
In particular, Gojo Yoru's battlefront is a border base that confronts the Land of Rain. Once the war enters the next phase, he is very likely to enter the Land of Rain, and the chances of encountering Nagato are not small.
Black Zetsu would never allow someone with a thorny personality and a secret to approach the Rinnegan.
After all, Black Zetsu spent a thousand years, bewitching countless reincarnations of Indra, before finally getting those eyes to appear in the lives of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
If something happens to the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu doesn't know how many more years he would have to wait before another reincarnation as outstanding as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha appears.
Therefore, Black Zetsu decided to personally go and observe who Gojo Yoru really was.
Gojo Yoru had no idea that he had aroused Madara Uchiha's interest and had been targeted by the number one cunning old fox in the ninja world.
Hiruzen Sarutobi told him to rest for a few days, and he really went on vacation.
In the past few days, he first sent the three legendary Konoha ninjas back to the border base, and then moved back and forth between Konoha and the hot spring town.
Hot Spring Street is a large red-light district located in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire.
Although it's called Hot Spring Town, it's actually just like Tanabata Town in the southwest, full of casinos, hotels, and various entertainment venues. It's just that the hot spring industry is more developed because it's closer to the land of hot springs.
This is the new place where Xiao Nan lives.
From the moment he decided to train Minami, Gojo Yoru had an idea.
Several months later, the idea had turned into a plan.
Konan is the core of this plan and Gojo Yoru's secret trump card.
To conceal this card, Gojo Yoru disguised himself every time he came to meet Konan after the first three days, when teaching her ninjutsu and when walking in crowded places.
Only when she's with Minami in their home, where a protective barrier is set up, does Gojo Yoru let down her guard.
Furthermore, when checking on Minami's growth, Gojo Yoru would not do so in the hot spring town, but would take Minami to uninhabited areas in other countries.
Four months have passed, and Konan has long since transformed from an ordinary person into a trainee ninja.
In the original story, Konan, who was able to develop a secret technique based on her hobby, was also extraordinary in terms of chakra control.
With the protection of five nights, she first learned to climb trees, then to walk on water, and mastered the art of teleportation in two months.
Once the chakra requirement was met, they began learning the Three Body Techniques, and now they have already mastered the Transformation Technique, which consumes the least amount of chakra.
This growth rate is incomparable to that of Nagato and Kushina Uzumaki, who possess Kage-level potential.
But if placed in the ninja academies of the five great ninja villages, they would definitely be geniuses.
The biggest change is not in strength.
The biggest change in Xiao Nan over the past few months is her energy and spirit.
With the patronage of the wealthy Gojo Yoru, along with incredibly professional nutritional meal plans and training programs, and maintaining three meals a day, early to bed and early to rise, Konan's face has become plump and fair, full of collagen. The feel of her baby fat is completely different from Kushina Uzumaki's round face, making Gojo Yoru always love to touch it.
Every time Gojo Yoru comes over, in addition to checking on Konan's growth and imparting basic knowledge, he also educates her on common sense about the ninja world and power levels, as well as some secrets known only to a few people, including himself, the transmigrator. This helps Konan gradually understand the world and broaden her horizons.
As her understanding deepened, Xiao Nan's eyes and demeanor gradually lost their childishness.
With the increased secretion of spiritual energy, Konan's physical energy was extraordinary, and her chakra reserves also increased significantly.
This growth rate made Gojo Yoru very satisfied.
After a while, he will be able to explain the knowledge of bloodline limits and secret techniques to Xiao Nan.
At that time, Gojo Yoru will also reveal Jiraiya's experience in developing secret techniques, mixing in his own opinions.
Xiao Nan, who is encountering this kind of knowledge for the first time, will definitely be unable to resist trying it when she is passing the time by origami after she hits a bottleneck in the basics.
Xiao Nan is growing up very fast.
After all, anyone who can become a Kage-level powerhouse is no ordinary person; she just lacks someone to guide her.
However, compared to Kushina Uzumaki, Konan's radiance was far too dim.
Not only Konan, but apart from Nagato who mastered six nature transformations in a year, all the young geniuses of these generations are nothing compared to Kushina Uzumaki.
October 18, Konoha 35.
An abandoned training ground.
Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina engage in a long-awaited, no-rules duel.
And then—and then he got completely thrashed!
Without using space-time chakra, Gojo Yoru was considered a senior Chunin by the standards of sensory ninjas.
At the age of eleven, he already possesses the strength of a seasoned Chunin, which is truly remarkable.
Yahiko, who was trained by Jiraiya for three years, only had this much strength, and was even far inferior to Gojo Yoru.
After all, he didn't have the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, nor did he have the Rasengan without a seal.
Due to insufficient chakra, Gojo Yoru upgraded the Rasengan to Fire Release: Rasengan, which is now his limit.
As for the super-strong fist technique that Kushina Uzumaki obtained from Tsunade, Yoru Gojo was not qualified to practice it.
This is a technique for chakra bursting, which requires a large amount of chakra as propulsion.
Facing Kushina Uzumaki, who hasn't yet mastered the Super Strength Fist, Yoru Gojo needs to dodge her attacks.
Now that Kushina Uzumaki has mastered the Super Strength Fist, even Yoru Gojo has a hard time dodging it.
The chakra unleashed by the monstrous strength was like a storm, capable of stunning Gojo Yoru.
In terms of physical combat, Gojo Yoru is no match for Uzumaki Kushina.
If he could use a sword, Gojo Yoru could easily defeat Uzumaki Kushina in a second.
He's like Hanzo the Salamander, a nemesis of those with obvious pre-cast animations.
In terms of illusion magic, Gojo Yoru doesn't have much talent.
Or perhaps, his current talent in illusion magic is not yet qualified to cultivate the Illusion Magic: Dark Travel Technique, and he has yet to learn this forbidden technique.
With only a few basic illusion techniques at his disposal, he couldn't control Kushina Uzumaki at all.
Kushina Uzumaki, who had mastered the power of chakra bursts, could easily break free from Gojo Yoru's genjutsu without even needing to form hand seals.
Fortunately, Kushina Uzumaki was not a genjutsu user either, and only knew a few basic genjutsu, which had no effect on Yoru Gojo, who had already mastered the nature transformation of lightning.
As for ninjutsu—
"Otama Rasengan!"
Looking at Kushina Uzumaki leaping into the air, raising her hand to condense an energy ball the size of five basketballs, and then supporting the vortex Kushina pressing down on him, Gojo Yoru couldn't help but flash a look of amazement.
Just like Kakashi Hatake, who has a kaleidoscope of presbyopia, at this moment, Yoru Gojo seemed to see the reflection of the prophesied child in Kushina Uzumaki.
Ye Qing is back!
Without the slightest hesitation, Gojo Yoru could only dodge in an instant.
With a deafening roar, the energy unleashed by the Giant Rasengan blasted a massive crater into the ground, sending dust billowing into the air.
"Cough cough————"
A cough echoed through the dust and mist. Despite being a sorcerer, Kushina Uzumaki, covered in soot, emerged from the crater. Looking at Yoru Gojo in the distance, she asked with a smug smile, "How was it? Were you startled?"
"I was really startled, but when I thought it was you, it suddenly felt perfectly natural." Gojo Yoru sincerely praised her, giving her a very high evaluation.
Kushina Uzumaki, who rarely heard Gojo Yoru say anything nice, became even more smug.
With her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face, she said, "I originally wanted to create something even bigger, but unfortunately my chakra control and superhuman strength aren't up to par yet. I'll show you its complete form later, and you'll be so envious of your inventor."
"I know what the perfect form looks like. I even gave it a name: Super Giant Rasengan." Gojo Yoru couldn't stand Kushina Uzumaki's smug look and couldn't help but be sarcastic again. "Come and show off to me when you've mastered the Rasenshuriken."
"Hmph—"
Kushina Uzumaki wasn't angry. Instead, she boasted, "Even the Giant Rasengan is no challenge for me. I'll be able to learn the Rasenshuriken in no time."
After saying that, Kushina Uzumaki revealed an arrogant smile again, looking at Yoru Gojo with a provocative expression: "Yoru, you're not very strong. You don't dare to get close, your genjutsu is ineffective, and you need me to hold back with your ninjutsu. You can't even use Shadow Clone Jutsu to cast the Five Elements Release Technique. Besides running away, do you have no other skills?"
Snapped!
No sooner had she finished speaking than Kushina Uzumaki received a slap on the head, staggering forward several steps and nearly falling to the ground.
"You think you can take advantage of a little kindness?" Gojo Yoru said irritably. "When we get to the battlefield, someone as smug as you will be taken down in one fell swoop."
"Damn it, if you're so capable, then don't use the Flying Thunder God Technique!" Kushina Uzumaki covered her head, looking like she was gritting her teeth.
Gojo Yoru retorted, "Then don't use the Three Body Technique, don't use the Five Elements Escape Technique, don't use the Super Strength Fist, and don't use the Rasengan or sealing techniques."
J
,
Kushina Uzumaki was instantly speechless, her face flushed red with anger, and with her long red hair rising against gravity, she looked like a walking tomato.
Gojo Yoru flashed the same arrogant smile as Kushina Uzumaki, beckoned to the girl with his finger, and said provocatively, "What are you baring your teeth for? If you're not happy, come and hit me."
"Don't run away if you dare, I'll beat you to death!"
Kushina Uzumaki rushed over immediately, and was then tossed around like a dog by five night dogs.
As night fell, the atmosphere at the Gojo family's house became very warm and cozy.
Kushina Uzumaki, who is the fiery red pepper during the day, radiates girlish vivacity in the kitchen. Under the guidance of Yoru Gojo, she finally makes a decent-looking cake.
Happy birthday, Night. You're another year older.
Yes, today is Gojo Yoru's birthday.
Before Gojo Yoru could express her gratitude, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly leaned close to him with a mischievous grin and said, "If the two of us were walking down the street, who would know that you're actually a month younger than me?"
"What are you trying to say with that cunning smile?"
"Night, quickly call me 'sister'."
Kushina Uzumaki reveals her intentions.
The scene of Gojo Yoru's anger and breakdown that I had imagined did not occur.
Gojou nodded and readily agreed: "Sure, it's an equal exchange. You call me 'Dad,' and I'll call you 'Sister.'"
"Your mouth still stinks, Night!"
Kushina Uzumaki was completely convinced.
After the two finished the first piece of cake, they started a cake fight, just like last year.
Because it was during wartime, Konoha temporarily had no night market.
After cleaning up, Gojo Yoru took Uzumaki Kushina back to the mansion of the big pillar.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Gojo Yoru lay on the bed, holding the back of her head with her hands, staring at the ceiling with expectant eyes.
As time passed, disappointment gradually filled Gojo Yoru's eyes.
When midnight passes, a new day begins.
That feeling of irregular heartbeat, rising body temperature, and a heart pounding like a drum still didn't appear.
"—So he still didn't come? It seems next year will be the decisive moment."
Gojo thought to himself.
Several months ago, Gojoya had a hypothesis that this evolution was similar to the cell replacement cycle in the human body.
When he was six years old, that evolution occurred on Gojou Yoru's birthday. After it ended, only a portion of his cells could extract the power of space and time.
If it truly is a cell replacement cycle, and the timing is precise, it might be once every six years.
If that feeling still hasn't arrived by this time next year, then it means that Gojou Yoru's guesses were all wrong.
Only that portion of his cells can extract the power of spacetime.
That part of the cells was already his biggest advantage.
To break the capacity limit, the only options are to rely on the Yin Seal or to use technology to modify the human body.
If it were the first time Gojo Yoru extracted the power of spacetime, without introspecting into the room containing the heart and seeing that black heart, she might have thought so.
That fleeting inner vision, that black heart, and even his intuition—all of these made Gojo Yoru firmly believe that that evolution would come again, it definitely would!
The sense of loss caused Gojo to suffer from insomnia for several hours, finally falling asleep at four in the morning.
During the few days he was on leave, the situation on the battlefield had completely changed.
