Chapter 169 Visiting, Tsukuyomi
Xingyuan Qianshuo's consciousness left the sealed space and immediately broke the barrier between himself and his external body.
He opened his eyes, nodded slightly to the three people staring at him, and smiled slightly: "Lord Nine-Tailed Fox is reasonable and has agreed."
Kushina's eyes were bright, and her hands unconsciously clenched tighter.
She is now less afraid of the Nine-Tails and even looks forward to using its powerful energy as soon as possible.
Minato pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Can we learn this Bagua sealing technique first?"
Xingyuan Qianshuo understood his concerns and nodded, saying, "Of course. Feel free to ask me any questions."
He paused briefly, then continued, "Changing the sealing formula is a major undertaking for Kushina, after all. I'm just making a suggestion; the final decision rests with you."
"Yes, thank you, Chisaku," Minato replied gently.
He handed the scroll containing the Eight Trigrams Seal to Minato and Kushina. The group didn't discuss it further and went their separate ways to rest in their rooms.
In Tsunade's bedroom, the two embraced and lay on the bed after washing up.
"Qian Shuo, you've really mastered the Eight Trigrams Seal, that's amazing," Tsunade exclaimed, her fingers lightly tracing across Qian Shuo's chest.
"Haha, it's alright." Xingyuan Qianshuo chuckled, shamelessly accepting her praise.
"If we can really borrow the Nine-Tails' chakra and seal it in the bodies of different ninjas, we might be able to mass-produce elite Jonin in the future," Tsunade said softly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo gently stroked her smooth arm and replied, "The key is to maintain a good relationship with the Nine-Tails. Otherwise, the Nine-Tails' chakra is filled with malice and will be difficult to use."
"Sigh." Tsunade sighed, "Back then, my great-grandfather distributed the Tailed Beasts to various ninja villages. Thinking about it now, it's really a pity."
"Lord Hashirama's initial intentions were good," said Hoshino Senju. "He hoped that the major ninja villages could use the power of the tailed beasts to balance each other, but he underestimated the 'evil' in the hearts of the ninjas."
He paused, then continued, "Lord Hashirama never intended to unify the ninja world. The tailed beasts must either be released or distributed. Distributing them would at least preserve a glimmer of hope for peace; if they are not distributed, Konoha will inevitably become the target of everyone's hatred after his death."
"This is indeed a difficult choice." Tsunade nodded, about to say something more, when she suddenly paused and let out a soft groan.
As they spoke, Xingyuan Qianshuo's hand moved to the peak, gently shaking and twisting it.
The next day, both Hoshino Senju and Tsunade used shadow clones to go to the hospital to fill in for each other.
They were invited by Fugaku Uchiha yesterday to visit him and to have some check-ups done for Mikoto Uchiha.
Around 10:30 a.m., the two slowly walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
On their way, they bought a gift of high-quality tea as a parting present.
At this time, the Uchiha clan's territory had not yet been moved to the edge of the village; it was located in the southeast of the main urban area and covered a large area.
As a place where a clan resides, it is rarely visited by villagers of Konoha or other ninjas.
The arrival of Xingyuan Qianshuo and Tsunade naturally attracted a lot of attention.
He sensed the faint malice emanating from Uchiha ninjas around him from time to time, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"After resolving Danzo's problem, the biggest hidden dangers within Konoha are the Uchiha and Hyuga clans," he thought to himself. "The problems aren't major, but if they're not dealt with, there will always be some unease."
Tsunade also noticed the unfriendly gazes, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Neither of them reacted; they simply walked side by side steadily toward Fugaku Uchiha's residence.
In front of the mansion, Fugaku Uchiha and his wife Mikoto had been waiting for a long time.
"Welcome, Lady Tsunade and Mr. Senshuo," Fugaku Uchiha greeted them warmly.
"Good morning, Lady Tsunade and Chisaku." Uchiha Mikoto, who was becoming more and more like a wife, bowed slightly and smiled gently.
"Haha, this is my first time visiting the Uchiha clan's territory," Tsunade said with a smile, looking around. "It's quite a unique experience."
She spoke cryptically, but Fugaku Uchiha, naturally aware of the character of some of his clansmen, quickly understood the meaning behind her words.
His expression hardened, and he bowed, saying, "It is my fault as the clan leader for my poor governance, which has made Lady Tsunade laugh at me."
"Clan Chief Fugaku needn't take offense," Hoshino Senju said gently. "Different people have different tastes, and it's difficult for us to control other people's thoughts. I believe Konoha will get better and better in the future, and the same goes for the Uchiha clan."
"Thank you, Chisaku-kun." Fugaku Uchiha's expression softened slightly as he solemnly expressed his gratitude.
Uchiha Mikoto, who always wore a gentle smile, was a beat slow to react, but she quickly guessed what was going on. She just didn't know how to speak up for her husband.
Just then, she suddenly felt nauseous and turned to the side, covering her mouth and dry heaving.
Tsunade quickly stepped forward to support her and gently patted her back.
Xingyuan Qianshuo quietly used the system to investigate.
Name: Uchiha Mikoto
[Condition: Hormonal changes during pregnancy triggering morning sickness]
"Normal morning sickness, it's nothing to worry about," Tsunade comforted her gently.
Having a rare opportunity to treat the "embryonic weasel," Xingyuan Qianshuo changed his mind and decided to take advantage of the reward.
He raised his hand, and a chakra thread shot out from his fingertip, the vibrant Yang attribute chakra slowly flowing into Mikoto's body.
Mikoto Uchiha, who was still gagging, immediately felt much better. She turned around, bowed, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry."
"Mikoto, don't worry about it." Tsunade waved her hand. "This is something most women who are going to become mothers have to go through."
The young Fugaku Uchiha, not yet sporting that bitter and resentful expression, said gratefully, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade."
"Chisaku-kun, let's go inside first."
As Xingyuan Qianshuo walked towards the courtyard, he opened the system notification.
[You have relieved Mikoto Uchiha's morning sickness symptoms, and have received the following reward: Tsukuyomi (Mastery), Chakra +200]
He paused for a moment, thinking to himself: So this is how I obtained Itachi Uchiha's "Tsukuyomi"?
On second thought, he realized that he already possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Tsukuyomi eye technique, so these were merely icing on the cake.
"This eye technique shouldn't overwrite my two existing kaleidoscope abilities, right?"
He muttered to himself, then closed the system interface—now was not the time to claim the reward.
Stepping into the courtyard, one finds standard Japanese-style architecture, simple yet elegant.
Upon entering the main hall, Xingyuan Qianshuo presented the gifts.
Tsunade quickly took Mikoto to a side room for a thorough examination.
Hoshino Senju and Uchiha Fugaku stayed in the hall, drinking tea and chatting.
"Chisaku-kun," Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice, "Although there are some members of our Uchiha clan who harbor resentment towards the village, the majority of our clansmen are good."
"I understand the difficulties faced by Clan Chief Fugaku," Hoshigen Chisaku said after a moment's thought. "Even though Konoha is thriving under the Third Hokage's rule, there are still dark figures like Danzo. Similarly, it's inevitable that different voices will exist within a clan."
Fugaku Uchiha was slightly taken aback when he didn't expect him to mention Danzo so directly.
Hoshigen Chisaku continued, "Clan Chief Fugaku, every tree has some twisted branches that need to be pruned regularly so that it can grow straighter and taller. This is true for Konoha Village, and it is also true for the Uchiha clan."
He paused, his tone calm yet firm: "The Uchiha clan manages the Konoha Police Department, a weighty responsibility. However, some members are rude and arrogant in the performance of their duties, seriously damaging the Uchiha's reputation in the village. Most of these people are those who harbor resentment towards the village."
"Their arrogance can easily influence the opinions of the centrists within the clan and undermine the unity between the Uchiha and Konoha."
""
"I never believe that ninja clans should sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of Konoha. But they also cannot sacrifice the overall interests of Konoha for the sake of their own clan's interests."
"These people, under the guise of protecting the interests of the Uchiha clan, actually prevent the Uchiha from better integrating into Konoha, which has also made it impossible for Konoha to truly embrace the Uchiha."
"If Tsunade becomes Hokage, Konoha won't need a dark force like Danzo's. And since you support Tsunade becoming the Fourth Hokage, you should take concrete actions to suppress the radical faction within the clan and promote and encourage the moderate faction."
"Especially the police department, should regulate the attitude of performing official duties and use this as the evaluation standard. Those who are rude and unreasonable should be dismissed, and some civilian ninjas or ninjas from small clans can even be recruited to join, gradually improving the reputation of the Uchiha clan."
Xingyuan Qianshuo disregarded Uchiha Fugaku's feelings and directly stated his views and demands.
Fugaku Uchiha had a solemn expression and his brows were furrowed.
In the past, although he disapproved of the radical faction within the clan, those people wielded considerable power. Taking action to suppress them would inevitably trigger internal strife, weaken the clan's overall strength, and make them even more vulnerable to pressure from the Konoha leadership.
Now, Xingyuan Qianshuo, representing Gangbiao, has made a statement—
They don't need to be as hostile to the Uchiha as Danzo, but the Uchiha can't have troublemakers who are hostile to Konoha either.
Because Xingyuan Qianshuo possesses both the power of Yang and the power of Yin, he has an inherent effect of infection and suppression, making his "talking skills" even more persuasive.
He was constantly sensing Fugaku Uchiha's emotional fluctuations as he spoke, accurately grasping his thoughts.
After a moment's thought, he added, "Clan Chief Fugaku, if any chaos or turmoil arises while you are handling internal affairs of the Uchiha clan, Tsunade and I will firmly support you and guarantee that we will not take this opportunity to suppress the Uchiha clan."
"In the future, I will take your eldest son or daughter, the child in Mrs. Mikoto's womb, as my formal disciple and teach them with care."
Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha let out a long breath, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Alright," he said in a deep voice. "I've always wanted to govern and discipline my people, but I haven't found the right opportunity."
Next, I will regulate the conduct of the police department in performing its duties. When Lady Tsunade becomes the Fourth Hokage, the radical faction within the clan will no longer be allowed to voice its opinions arrogantly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo understood what he meant—Tsunade wasn't Hokage yet, so he couldn't act too soon.
"Of course," he said calmly. "I'm only offering some suggestions to Clan Chief Fugaku so that both Konoha and the Uchiha clan can improve. These are things for the future, and we need to pay attention to them, but we can't rush things."
"Yes, thank you, Chisaku-kun." Uchiha Fugaku replied solemnly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo knew that his words were merely out of "humanitarian concern" for the Uchiha clan. With his current strength, he didn't care about the radical factions within the clan.
In the future, simply demonstrating overwhelming power will naturally dissipate many harsh voices and malicious intent.
But while strength is fundamental, it cannot be used as a conventional means of solving all problems.
Soon, Tsunade and Mikoto Uchiha emerged from the side hall, chatting and laughing.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's eyes flickered slightly as he noticed that Tsunade's face also exuded a touch of maternal tenderness.
The four of them enjoyed tea and chatted, without bringing up the heavy topics from before.
It was only mentioned that Hoshino Senju would become the future mentor of Fugaku and Mikoto's first child.
These words naturally drew gratitude from Mikoto Uchiha.
This promise clearly deepened their relationship.
At noon, the servant prepared lunch.
After the meal, Hoshino Senju and Tsunade did not linger and took their leave.
Instead of going to Konoha Hospital, the two returned directly to the Senju residence.
Xingyuan Qianshuo seized the opportunity to retrieve his previous reward—"Pupil Technique: Tsukuyomi".
A divine and enlightened feeling descended upon him, and his right eye, the Illusionary Eye, underwent a subtle change.
The previous abilities did not disappear; they were simply incorporating the "Tsukuyomi" eye technique.
"Not bad," he thought to himself. "This ability has limited impact on improving strength, but it's excellent for showing off."
In the original work, the scene where Itachi Uchiha used Tsukuyomi against Kakashi is considered a famous scene.
He silently recited Itachi's lines—
"Here, space, time, and mass are all under my control. For the next 72 hours, in this world of Tsukuyomi, I will use all kinds of weapons to kill you relentlessly. Just like this—"
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled slightly.
From now on, these will be his lines for showing off.
Meanwhile, Danzo, controlled by Xingyuan Qianshuo's avatar, was reading reports from his subordinates.
"Has Hiruko finally replied? The exchange will take place the day after tomorrow in the mountains bordering the Land of Grass and the Hidden Stone Village? This guy is really cautious—by the way, Mount Sumeru seems to be in this area."
"Hiruko's most valuable ability, besides the Oni-Garra technique, is his ability to utilize the power of heaven and earth. The power of heaven is the special celestial phenomenon of the golden ring solar eclipse, and the power of earth is Mount Sumeru."

"I wonder if treating him will reward me with those four plundered bloodline limits."
After thinking for a while, he walked out of the office and said to the two guards on duty, A and D, "Get ready, we're going out on a mission that will last no more than five days."
"Yes, sir," the two replied in unison.
Twenty minutes later, Danzo, along with A and D, quietly left Konoha and headed northwest.
"Sigh, even though I have the Flying Thunder God Technique, I have to run away as a ninja again." Danzo sighed inwardly.
After marching for a while, around 11 a.m. the next day, he met up with four of his subordinates who had been in contact with Hiruko at a certain place on the border between the Land of Grass and Konoha: Aburame Ryoma, Otoko, Shinko, and Minko.
"My lord," the four men greeted, kneeling on one knee.
Danzo looked at Ryoma Aburame, who was wearing black sunglasses and had a purple mark tattooed on his right cheek, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is Orochimaru's partner in the Root organization in the original work. Together with Danzo, they went to the Konoha orphanage and forced Kabuto Yakushi to become a spy wandering around various countries.
"Ryoma, tell me the details," he said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir," Aburame Ryoma replied calmly.
