Uchiha Kakuzan knew that what the elder said was true, but these things were very beneficial to those ninja clans, including the Uchiha clan at the time, so no one brought it up.
Those who have power are the beneficiaries of the benefits, while those who suffer losses are the ones without a voice. When those people become those in power through luck and hard work, they become the beneficiaries and naturally will no longer oppose it.
After Uchiha Kakuzan finished talking with the elder, he was about to take his leave when the elder suddenly called him back. However, this time his expression was conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing Uchiha Kakuyama looking at him with a puzzled expression, the First Elder gritted his teeth and said something meaningful.
"Kyuyama, will Fugaku ever return?"
Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan realized that Kakuzan already knew some things, and he didn't hide anything from him:
"Clan Chief Fugaku has gone to the clan's former territory before our Uchiha clan merged into Konoha. He intends to guard our clan's former shrine there. He has no plans to return."
The elder breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words. He had thought that Uchiha Kakuzan had already dealt with Fugaku, but it turned out that he was only being allowed to stay in the clan's former territory.
The Grand Elder nodded with a sigh: "It's better that they didn't come back, it's better that they didn't come back."
After recounting the story of Uchiha Fugaku, the First Elder understood that Qiu Shan wasn't as ruthless as he had thought, and then added:
"Qiushan, there are some things you must handle well. Mikoto is a good girl, don't make her sad. And Itachi, that child is talented and thoughtful, you must make proper arrangements for him."
Seeing that the elder had already spoken frankly, Uchiha Kakuyama promised, "Don't worry, elder. Mikoto is just worried about Sasuke. After Sasuke finishes school, Mikoto will stay with me in my space. As for Itachi, Sasuke is the most important person in his heart. I have a proper way to handle this. I will definitely not make Mikoto sad. After all, Mikoto is also his mother."
After saying that, Uchiha Kakuyama returned to his spatial dimension without waiting for the Grand Elder to nod.
After seeing that Uchiha Kakuyama had left, the elder stood there silently for a while, then sighed before turning around and returning to his bedroom.
In fact, the elder was closest to Uchiha Kakuzan, and he was afraid that Kakuzan would go down the wrong path, so he asked him a few questions out of concern. Otherwise, after he realized that Uchiha Fugaku had a problem, he would have questioned Uchiha Kakuzan instead of covering for him.
Uchiha Kakuzan knew that the elder was truly good to him, but he also felt that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly ran away after answering the elder's question.
After returning to his space, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't resist running to Mikoto's place again. After visiting the mother and daughter, he went to the mountaintop and, as usual, began training in Lightning Release Armor. His training had been somewhat delayed these past few days due to Mikoto's situation, so he needed to work harder to catch up.
However, this Lightning Release Armor was indeed useful, especially after reaching the final stage of training. It played a significant role in strengthening the physical body. Uchiha Kakuzan already possessed a Sage Body, making his body inherently powerful and brimming with life energy and vitality.
After training in Lightning Release Armor, it was as if he had unleashed the full potential of his body. His strength and speed improved significantly, and his defense increased dramatically. Uchiha Kakuyama estimated that with his physical body alone, he could completely overwhelm an elite Jonin.
So, not long ago, Kurenai Yuhi, who was proficient in genjutsu but weak in taijutsu, was attacked by Uchiha Kakuzan seven times, leaving her hoarse from shouting. The next day, she was only able to get out of bed after Uchiha Kakuzan used medical ninjutsu to treat her. She then recuperated for a while before appearing in front of Uchiha Kakuzan.
Uchiha Kakuzan also knew that Kurenai was fragile, so he was quite careful when fighting her, which was how she managed to keep up. Otherwise, Kurenai would have been traumatized.
Just as Uchiha Kakuyama was standing on the mountaintop using his Lightning Release Armor to train his physical body, he suddenly sensed someone approaching, causing him to frown.
However, Uchiha Kakuyama, who had absolute control over the space, knew who had come with a thought and continued his cultivation.
Just as Uchiha Kakuzan's body trembled and veins bulged from the stimulation of the Lightning Release Armor, a tall figure slowly walked over. After pausing for a moment upon seeing Uchiha Kakuzan's figure training, the figure continued to walk towards him.
The person who came was Yukito, who was idly strolling around the island. Since Uchiha Kakuzan had sealed her chakra and felt that she posed no threat, he no longer locked her up.
At first, Yugito just wandered around the house where she lived. Later, after she became familiar with the area around the house, she started to wander around the island. After all, she was a ninja. Although she could not use chakra, she had good stamina and was able to climb to the top of the mountain in one go.
Uchiha Kakuyama often trained his Lightning Release Armor on the mountaintop, so he casually built a house there.
After Yukito climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the house, he walked towards it and happened to run into Uchiha Okayama, who was training.
After watching Uchiha Kakuzan for a while, Yugito asked hesitantly, "Kakuzan-kun, are you training in Lightning Release Armor?"
Chapter 268 The Bored Yukito
Chapter 268 The Bored Yukito
Uchiha Kakuyama was training when he heard Yugito's question. He glanced at her and then nodded.
Seeing that Uchiha Kakuzan had responded, Yugito, while looking at the bulging muscles on his body, asked curiously:
"I can see that you've cultivated to a very high level. What stage have you reached?"
Uchiha Kakuyama didn't hide anything. While enduring the tingling yet painful sensation all over his body, he told her, "I've already reached the third stage of cultivation."
Uchiha Kakuzan was quite happy to have someone to talk to, as it helped to distract him and reduce the pain.
Yugito has now become quite familiar with Uchiha Kakuyama. After hearing his words, she didn't hide her surprise and exclaimed:
"The third stage of the Lightning Release Armor is a closely guarded secret of the Raikage. It is not only difficult to master, but also very precious. Only two or three people in Kumogakure have received instruction from it, and none of them have succeeded in mastering it. How did you manage to get your hands on it?"
Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at Yugito, and while controlling his chakra, said calmly:
"Don't forget who I am. Our Uchiha clan's Sharingan can copy most of the world's ninjutsu and secret techniques."
Yugito continued Uchiha Kakuzan's words as soon as he finished speaking, "This does not include the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor."
Yugito, hands on her hips, said somewhat angrily, "Do you think I'm a child? The Third and Fourth Raikage have encountered members of your Uchiha clan on the battlefield before. If the Lightning Release Armor were so easy to copy, it would have been copied long ago and wouldn't have become the Raikage's core skill, a closely guarded secret."
Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Yugito to react so quickly and so frankly. He coughed awkwardly and explained.
"My Sharingan is quite special, and it's a bit different from the ones of my clansmen, so I copied the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito turned around and sat on the platform next to him, looking at the scenery in the distance and said, "That's more like it. The Third Raikage beat up the rampaging Eight-Tails several times with his Lightning Release Armor. If it were that easy, how would we Jinchuriki survive?"
Time flew by as the two chatted and talked.
Finally, Uchiha Kakuzan had completed his training. As he absorbed the lightning that had appeared on his body and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his brow, Yugito spoke:
"Have you finished your cultivation?"
As Uchiha Kakuzan put on his shirt, he said...
"Yes, that's enough. Continuing any further will damage your body."
Yugito nodded: "That's true. I once watched the Fourth Raikage train in this from afar. Although his physical body was naturally stronger than others, he couldn't maintain the Lightning Release Armor for as long as you. In fact, he couldn't even last half as long as you. Do you have some kind of secret technique?"
Yugito now understands that he will basically never be able to leave this space again, so he no longer considers himself an outsider and asks about these sensitive topics whenever they come to mind.
Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at Yugito sitting there, shook his head, and said frankly:
"In terms of physical training, neither Konoha nor Uchiha is as good as Kumogakure. How could I possibly have any other secret techniques? It's just that my physique is better than the Raikage's. As the head of the Uchiha clan, I am still somewhat special in certain aspects."
After hearing his words, Yugito nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't doubt that Uchiha Kakuyama was lying to her, because there was no need to.
Yugito looked at Uchiha Kakuzan, who had finished his training and was still standing with his shirt open, exuding a rather heroic air, and asked:
"Are you leaving?"
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded. "There are still many things outside that I need to deal with, and this time for training is something I've squeezed out myself."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito remained silent for a moment, then asked with some anticipation.
"Will you come to cultivate again tomorrow?"
Uchiha Kakuyama understood what Yugito meant; she was bored being locked up in this space and was hoping someone could talk to her.
Uchiha Kakuyama hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I will come here to train often before I master this secret technique, unless I encounter some emergency."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Yugito knew that he hadn't refused her request to come and find him, and couldn't help but smile happily, saying, "Then it's a deal, don't go back on your word, see you tomorrow!"
Yugito was originally a beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, but unexpectedly, she had a very bright smile. Uchiha Kakuzan was stunned for a moment after seeing this, and then replied, "Okay."
After making a promise with Yugito, Uchiha Okayama bid her farewell and left the space.
When Uchiha Kagami arrived at the Hokage Building, Tsunade had just finished her work and was resting, while Shizune was quietly keeping her company.
Upon seeing Uchiha Kagami's figure, Tsunade directed the flow:
"Hey, the busy man is back! It's been several days, and we're finally seeing him again."
Upon hearing Tsunade's exaggerated words, Uchiha Kakuzan realized he was somewhat in the wrong and explained...
"Tsunade, I just came back from the clan's territory. As you know, I haven't been back for several days. There were some things that needed to be taken care of, and I also just finished training my Lightning Release Armor, so I'm only just getting back now."
When Tsunade heard what Uchiha Kakuyama said, she knew that he made sense, and her expression softened. She said, "Don't be impatient for quick results in your cultivation. Although your body has a strong ability to recover, try not to overdraw it, otherwise it will not be good for the future."
Uchiha Kakuyama knew what Tsunade meant. After all, her great-grandfather, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, died young without illness. Although the reason was unknown, it was likely related to his frequent battles, which is why Tsunade was so sensitive about this.
Uchiha Kakuyama noticed Tsunade's worry, went to her side, gently hugged her, kissed her forehead, and said...
"Don't worry, Tsunade-neechan, I'm being careful. For our future, I won't risk my life."
After Tsunade was embraced by Uchiha Kakuzan, she leaned against him and said softly:
“You are my only family in this world. I don’t want anything to happen to you and leave me in this world. If that happens, I might break down and follow you in death.”
Chapter 269 Uzuki Yugao's Thoughts
Chapter 269 Uzuki Yugao's Thoughts
Hearing Tsunade's words, which were more like a confession than a declaration of love, Uchiha Kakuzan felt a warm current flow through his heart. He placed his hand on her pregnant belly, feeling the pulse of the little life inside, and comforted her.
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't forget, we'll soon have another family member. If this little guy knew, he would be heartbroken."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kyuuyama's words, Tsunade placed her hand on her stomach, her expression softening. She turned to Kyuuyama and said, "So, to prevent us from being bullied in the future, you must take good care of yourself."
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded. "Don't worry, after I finish what I need to do, I will take you into seclusion. At that time, you can find a reliable person to pass on the Hokage position, and I will resign from my position as clan leader. We will live in seclusion together in this space."
Tsunade had heard some things about the future from Uchiha Kazuma-kun, so she vaguely knew what he was going to do. She nodded and looked forward to her future seclusion. However, what Tsunade didn't know was that by then, there would be countless people gathered around Uchiha Kazuma, and just those people alone might make her furious.
After Tsunade calmed down, just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to leave to check on Yugao, Tsunade, as if she could read his mind, spoke up:
"Kiu Shan-jun, I feel that it's not appropriate for Xi Yan to stay with me right now?"
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at her with a questioning gaze.
Tsunade slowly got up from Qiu Shanjun and looked at him, explaining:
"Xiyan is quite far along in her pregnancy. The Hokage Building is crowded and conspicuous, and if Xiyan is still here, she'll attract even more attention. I think it would be better to send her to my spatial dimension. I can grant her a long leave, which would be better for both her and the baby."
Moreover, there's a pharmacist named Nonou in the space. Her medical skills, after my tutelage, are already quite advanced, and she's capable of taking care of Yugao. I'll need her help when I give birth.”
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in agreement when he heard Tsunade's words. Indeed, the reason why Yugao was left with Tsunade was because her pregnancy was not noticeable and her safety could be guaranteed.
As her belly grew larger and Tsunade's body became increasingly uncomfortable, it became truly inconvenient for her to take care of her.
Later, when Uchiha Kakuyama met with Uzuki Yugao, he brought it up and asked her to go to his space, and Uzuki Yugao readily agreed.
In fact, Uzuki Yugao was eager to go to Qiushan-jun's space because during her interactions with the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, she had noticed that Tsunade's child might very well be Qiushan-jun's, which made her somewhat embarrassed.
Moreover, since Uzuki Yugao is trained in swordsmanship and taijutsu, she does feel somewhat resistant to such meticulous care and inspection. Therefore, she feels more relaxed being able to leave Tsunade's side and go to Okayama-kun's space.
Uchiha Kazuma's space, Uzuki Yugao, had also visited several times. In her opinion, the scenery in Kazuma's space was much better, and there was also an increased chance of meeting Kazuma here, allowing her to see him more often. Even if they couldn't be intimate, being able to meet was still good.
So when Uchiha Kakuyama brought it up, Uzuki Yugao readily agreed and moved into the villa in Kakuyama's space right then and there.
Just as Uchiha Okayama finished arranging things for Uzuki Yugao and gave instructions to the two maids, he was about to go see Mikoto when he suddenly felt a familiar rhythm.
Uchiha Kakuzan frowned, stopped speaking, closed his eyes to sense for a while, then smiled, greeted the two maids, and disappeared from the spot under their watchful eyes.
Seeing Qiu Shanjun suddenly disappear, the two little maids exchanged a glance before getting busy again. After all, the older sister Qiu Shanjun had just sent over hadn't been properly settled yet and needed their help. They longed to grow up quickly so they could develop a closer relationship with Qiu Shanjun.
This familiar energy wave was sent by Uchiha Shisui from the Land of Water through the spatial markings on his body. Judging by the time, Shisui and Itachi should have arrived at their destination by now.
