Chapter 126 Konan and Kushina Uzumaki, Angel of Death
In the following days, Konoha became noticeably more lively.
Teams of genin from various ninja villages, led by their jonin instructors, have been arriving in Konoha one after another.
The Chunin Exams have already quietly begun.
These outsiders have begun to employ various methods to gather intelligence on their adversaries.
Their actions were observed by Konoha, who tacitly approved of them.
After all, Konoha is the home turf, and Konoha's ninjas have the home advantage.
As long as it doesn't affect the villagers' lives, Konoha, the strongest ninja village, doesn't mind them making up for their home-field advantage.
However, to prevent these outsiders from thinking that gathering intelligence was going too smoothly and thus underestimating Konoha, the strongest ninja village, Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly strengthened the village's defenses, a task he delegated to the Uchiha clan.
With black hair and black eyes, and the logo of the Flame Fan printed on his clothes, he was a member of the Uchiha clan. Even without his green vest, he was a formidable presence on the street.
Not only outsiders feared them, but even the unruly citizens of Konoha were afraid of them.
As the most powerful clan in Konoha and even the entire ninja world, the Uchiha clan not only has law enforcement power, but also controls the prisons.
Being caught and imprisoned by them is an experience worse than death.
Physical torture is the least of your worries; the most terrifying thing is being pulled into a genjutsu world by the Sharingan and subjected to all sorts of inhuman torture, resulting in a drooling, idiotic state for a long time to come.
"Is this the military base of the strongest nation in the ninja world?"
Yahiko, who successfully infiltrated Konoha using Wood Clone Technique and Disguise Technique, looked around at this incredibly prosperous village, where the villagers were dressed very well and their spirit was completely different from that of the Amegakure villagers. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Beside him was Konan, who also used paper to transform her appearance, but whose hair color remained purple.
In order to better acquire the Multiply Explosive Tags technique, Konan refused to use her clone technique to enter.
To protect Konan, Nagato did not use his clone technique, but instead entered the area with his true form.
To avoid being recognized, he used the Asura Path to change his body shape and also wore sunglasses.
This was a very easy thing for Nagato, who had mastered Yin-Yang Release.
Behind them was a middle-aged man wearing a vest and a Kusanagi headband.
In reality, this was a White Zetsu clone that used a disguise technique.
Unlike other ninja villages that have at least two teams, the Grass Village only has this one team of genin participating.
Clearly, Yahiko and his two companions not only took over the position of the Grass Village, but also wiped out another squad.
When they registered for the competition, their ninja profiles were flawless.
Konan glanced at her ninja file, her expression unchanged, but her heart sank slightly.
That creature called White Zetsu is truly terrifying.
Although it lacks powerful combat strength, it can ignore all barriers and senses, move at high speed underground, and attach itself to others without anyone noticing. It can also absorb a person's chakra and perfectly transform into that person's appearance, with the chakra aura being exactly the same.
If it weren't for the fact that both the Mayfly Technique and the Spore Technique would be discovered by Lord Yoru, Konoha might have been his spies.
Those small ninja villages, for example, have countless people who are actually clones of White Zetsu.
We must find an opportunity to tell Ye Daren this information.
I don't know if it's because I've been thinking about it a lot, or for some other reason.
Having just registered at the Ninja Academy's main building, Yahiko and his two companions walked out of the academy and encountered two figures.
Upon seeing these two figures, Yahiko and the other two gasped in shock.
The White Zetsu clone behind them was so frightened that it almost broke free of its disguise and wanted to use the Mayfly Technique to escape Konoha immediately.
There was no way around it, because the two figures approaching from the front were simply too frightening.
"You even have to help submit the registration forms. What have you done to them these past few days? They're still young, don't go overboard."
"They asked for it, what could I do? Besides, how are they young? When we were their age, we were already fighting until we bled, but they've never even seen blood."
"How can this be the same? Don't you even know who you and I really are?"
"They're geniuses, they graduated even earlier than us."
"6
""
The people who walked over were none other than Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina.
Their towering figures, standing at 1.88 meters and 1.7 meters, already exude an imposing presence.
Under the perception of Yahiko and the White Zetsu clone, the amount of chakra within Kushina Uzumaki was vast, far exceeding even Yahiko's, who was wearing the Tobi armor.
However, the most direct impression was from Nagato wearing sunglasses.
Nagato also reacted the most violently.
Moreover, Nagato's gaze did not fall on Kushina Uzumaki, whose chakra reserves were as vast as the sea and whose hair color was the same as his, but instead stared at Yoru Gojo's abdomen.
From Nagato's perspective using his Rinnegan, he saw two colors of chakra.
Kushina Uzumaki also had two colors of chakra: her own chakra and the Nine-Tails' chakra sealed within her.
These two types of chakra, though seemingly in the same location, are actually located in different spaces, just like storage scrolls.
Unlike the two types of chakra in Jinchuriki, Gojo Yoru's two types of chakra reside in the same space.
One is a common blue, the other is a dark color.
Even more incredibly, when Nagato used his sensory abilities, he couldn't sense the black chakra.
If it weren't for the Rinnegan's ability to see through chakra, he would have had no idea that Gojo Yoru was hiding such a secret within his body.
Black chakra, could this be the change in the nature of spacetime?
Is it not that ordinary chakra is transformed into space-time nature transformation, but that one possesses space-time chakra in their own right?
Just like his own Rinnegan, is this the special nature of the power of miracles?
Nagato thought to himself.
Unlike Yahiko and the other two, whose gazes were all fixed on Gojo Yoru.
Konan's gaze initially fell on Gojo Yoru, and she was quite pleased with herself.
But soon, her self-light shifted to Kushina Uzumaki next to Gojo Yoru, and her feelings began to become complicated again.
Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is a name that many ordinary people and ninjas in Konoha may not yet know.
For powerful ninjas, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha was no secret at all.
The reason why Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina are known as the strongest duo in Konoha is not solely because of Gojo Yoru.
Besides Gojo Yoru, the pinnacle of the ninja world, the other person was actually a survivor of the Uzumaki clan and the jinchūriki of the strongest tailed beast. This is why the two are known as the strongest duo in Konoha.
Konan had known about Kushina Uzumaki's existence for several years.
She also knew that Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina were childhood friends; they were classmates, companions, and lovers.
It was this woman's existence that made Xiao Nan keep her feelings hidden.
Konan didn't actually harbor any hostility towards Kushina Uzumaki; she was simply envious.
However, as Gojo Yoru frequently came to visit him, the emotions and feelings they shared in the mental space were much stronger than in the real world, and Konan's envy quickly disappeared.
But now, seeing Kushina Uzumaki, the main heroine, in person, Konan still couldn't help feeling uneasy.
As if noticing the four people's gazes, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina suddenly looked at them.
The four quickly composed themselves and left, feigning calmness.
Watching their departing figures, Kushina Uzumaki's gaze was mainly focused on Nagato, her eyes filled with apprehension.
Immediately, she turned to Gojo Yoru and said, "Yoru, be careful of that red-haired guy. His chakra is a bit scary. He's very likely one of my clansmen."
Kushina Uzumaki did not feel joy upon encountering her own clansmen.
Ten years have passed since the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan.
Ten years is a long time; it can change a lot of things, including a person's values and worldview.
Just as she was influenced by Gojo Yoru, she has come to accept Konoha and decided to spend the rest of her life in this village, and is willing to protect it for this reason.
If that red-haired guy is also a survivor of the Uzumaki clan, or a descendant of a survivor, their values and personality would definitely be affected in that environment of losing their homeland.
At best, they might treat other clansmen as strangers; at worst, they might develop hatred because of Konoha's failure to come to their aid.
Of course, it's also possible that they don't know they are members of the Uzumaki clan.
It is certain that the opponent is very strong.
Moreover, Kushina Uzumaki seemed to have a sense of fear, as if she were facing a natural enemy, when she was with Nagato.
Unfortunately, the seal within her body was too strong. Unlike Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina, whose lives were spied on by a fox, Kurama had a complex seal applied on top of the Bagua seal, which forced Kurama to stay in the Tailed Beast Space and prevented her from seeing the outside world.
Otherwise, Kurama would definitely have sensed a familiar aura on Nagato.
Those are the Rinnegan and Yin-Yang Release techniques that were separated from the Ten-Tails.
"A clansman? Should we go and say hello?" Gojo Yoru asked.
"No need, we each have our own lives."
Kushina Uzumaki shook her head.
Most importantly, she sensed malice from all those people.
Kushina Uzumaki was not surprised. Not to mention these outsiders, even some people in the village were hostile towards her.
Speaking of malice, a hint of doubt finally flashed in Kushina's eyes as she recalled Konan's gaze.
She hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that she thought about it carefully, Kushina Uzumaki felt that something was very wrong.
Why didn't that purple-haired girl have any ill intentions towards her?
"Since we're not going to say hello, let's go register Asuma and the others."
Gojo Yoru put his arm around Kushina Uzumaki's shoulder and walked into the ninja academy with a smile on his face.
I was slightly surprised.
Konan and Nagato actually entered Konoha in their original forms. What are they doing here?
And since they came in as ninja from the Grass Village, could it be to gather intelligence, or is there another purpose?
Did Nagato's reaction mean he saw the space-time chakra within his own body?
If that's the case, then the Rinnegan can indeed ignore the higher-dimensional perception of spacetime chakra.
Various thoughts flashed through Gojo Yoru's mind, and he decided to wait until evening to talk to Minami.
At night, Gojo Yoru's spatial spirit appeared beside Konan using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Konan seemed to have anticipated that Gojo would come to find her, as she was already sitting cross-legged on the bed at this hour, and a barrier had been set up in the room.
Gojo Yoru transformed into a beam of light and seeped into her body.
"...Lord Ye, that's how it happened."
"I see."
In the starry mental space, Konan told Gojo Yoru everything about Yahiko and her own thoughts.
Gojo Yoru seemed to realize something, then smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It can help you unlock the Mutual Explosive Tags technique. Do you need my help?"
"No need, but it might cost the lives of a few Konoha ninjas. Is that alright?" Konan looked at Gojo Yoru with some trepidation.
"I don't care about the lives of others unless they're people I care about." Gojo Yoru pinched Konan's cheek and said these cruel words with a smile: "As long as I can help you, Konan, I don't care how many unrelated people die."
"Me too. As long as I can help Lord Ye, I don't care if my hands are stained with blood," Xiao Nan said with the same firm gaze.
This is the difference between Xiao Nan and Bai.
Both were very kind, but the latter was even very merciful to his enemies.
Xiao Nan, on the other hand, tries her best to avoid harming innocent people.
If it cannot be avoided, she will strike without mercy, instantly transforming from an angel into a killing angel.
This was naturally influenced by Gojo Yoru.
In Gojo Yoru's eyes, apart from the people she cares about, no one else's life matters.
When it doesn't involve personal gain, he can act according to the rules of the world and play the role of a person with normal values.
When it comes to interests, if it requires sacrificing others to achieve one's own goals, Gojo Yoru will not hesitate to give up those people's lives.
If the immortality plan is realized, this will be the choice that Gojou Yoru must face.
If the Divine Tree is to bear fruit, the Demonic Statue of the Heretic must be transformed back into the Divine Tree, and then it must absorb the life energy of the planet.
When a planet absorbs life energy, various natural disasters will occur in the ninja world.
Even without the apocalypse, the earth would be in ruins, and countless animals and humans would be homeless.
Gojo Yoru could have helped them back then, but he would never have stopped doing this.
Therefore, to prevent Minami from developing an excessive sense of compassion, Gojo Yoru frequently used emotional manipulation through mental space to influence Minami's values when she was very young and in recent years.
The same applies to Kushina Uzumaki.
In Kushina Uzumaki's eyes and heart, Yoru Gojo's position was the most important, above all else.
She would not hesitate to do anything for Gojo Yoru, even if it meant destroying Konoha.
He doesn't even care about the ninja world, so what do the lives of strangers matter?
As if she had thought of something, Gojo Yoru reminded her, "By the way, if you can infiltrate the Forbidden Techniques Library, besides the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique, you can see if there's a scroll of the Hand Sword Shadow Clone Technique. You can take that scroll while you're at it. This technique will make your Paper Release even more intimidating."
"OK."
Konan nodded obediently, then looked at Gojo Yoru with a wistful gaze: "Lord Yoru, was that woman from earlier that day Kushina-neechan?"
"Ahem... I'm almost out of space-time chakra. I'll come find you again next time."
Gojo coughed repeatedly, rubbed Minami's face hard, and then left her body.
Xiao Nan opened her eyes, and instead of resentment, the corners of her lips turned up slightly.
If he didn't care about her, Gojo Yoru wouldn't have reacted this way.
In other words, she still has a chance.
This is the cunning of an angel!
