Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"There's also Black Zetsu, and that guy is the most troublesome. I don't know if my methods are enough to deal with him."

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself.

Black Zetsu is not only incredibly powerful, but his strength is also unpredictable.

To say he's strong is an exaggeration. In the original work, which spans 720 episodes, Black Zetsu only made his move once, and there's no other record of him directly confronting anyone.

He might seem weak, but he could easily kill Madara Uchiha (Six Paths Madara).

Even if it's due to the hidden tricks planted in Uchiha Madara beforehand, it's still terrifying.

Without absolute certainty, Yoruichi Yagami did not want to easily confront Kuro.

"If we want to keep our distance from Black Zetsu, then we can't attack Obito and Nagato for the time being."

"In that case... create your own organization?"

"Wouldn't it be a bit too few for just me, Kaori, and Hikaru? Where can we find a few more helpful people?"

Yagami Yoruichi racked his brains, trying to figure out what kind of person could be utilized in this era and who could play a significant role.

Just as she was thinking this, Yagami Yoruichi's expression changed.

In Yagami Yoruichi's perception, Sarutobi Hiruzen was standing outside the Senju clan's territory, giving instructions to Hatake Kakashi.

It was simply a way for Kakashi Hatake to find an excuse to test whether the few people Yoruichi Yagami had captured the day before were the strongest high-ranking combatants in Kumogakure.

Hearing their conversation, Yagami Yoruichi rolled her eyes and instructed Uzumaki Kaori, "Kaori, Kakashi is here. Take him to see the people locked up in the cell. I have other things to do, so don't let him bother me."

Chapter 232 Yagami Yoruichi: If I can't find the person I need, then Kumogakure has no reason to exist.

"Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake returned from the Senju clan's territory and immediately went to the Hokage's office to report the situation: "The ones that Yoruichi Yagami captured are indeed the Raikage of Kumogakure and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. I've seen them many times when I accompanied my teacher to the battlefield before, so I can't mistake them. As for the other two, I don't recognize them, but that girl's chakra is truly astonishing. If she is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, I think it's very possible."

Is that so?

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but the worry between his brows only increased.

He sent Kakashi Hatake to test the waters in order to confirm the identities of the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

As Minato Namikaze's disciple, Kakashi Hatake did indeed fight against them on the battlefield.

Although he was being unilaterally ravaged, if it weren't for Minato Namikaze's rescue, Kakashi Hatake might have died long ago under the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

But no matter what, once you've fought someone, you won't mistake them for someone else.

However, when Kakashi Hatake actually brought back a positive answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi's anxiety was magnified countless times in an instant.

Clearly, he had the same question as Hiashi Hyuga.

If Yagami Yoruichi could easily take down the high-ranking officers of Kumogakure, she could do the same thing to Konoha.

Moreover, on this day, the spy organization sent back news confirming that Yunyin Village had suffered a devastating attack from an unknown enemy, resulting in heavy losses.

Although they haven't been removed from the ninja world yet, their remaining strength is no longer enough to support the title of 'Five Great Ninja Villages'.

This news gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a sense that a storm was brewing.

"Kakashi, you said before that he acted like he knew you very well?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Among the people you've come into contact with, is there anyone who could possibly have changed their identity and become this Yoruichi Yagami?"

"No." Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "Among the people I know, only Tenzo has the Wood Release. However, Tenzo's Wood Release and Yoruichi Yagami's Wood Release are completely different concepts."

One is Wood Release, which combines Water and Earth.

One is Wood Release, which combines Water, Earth, and Yang.

The difference between bloodline limit and bloodline elimination is obvious to anyone who has seen them.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had never seen Yoruichi Yagami's Wood Release, he had seen Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, so he naturally understood what Kakashi Hatake meant.

"He said he was a disciple of the First Hokage. Do you think that's possible?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had asked a foolish question.

Sure enough, Kakashi Hatake said without hesitation, "The First Hokage has been dead for over thirty years, and this Yoruichi Yagami looks about my age. It's impossible."

What Kakashi Hatake didn't know was that Yoruichi Yagami only looked older; he was actually much younger than he had guessed.

But the conclusion is correct.

As he spoke, Kakashi Hatake suddenly remembered his previous conjecture. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Hokage-sama, I've thought of something."

"When Jiraiya was in the village, didn't he often talk about the Child of Prophecy?"

Kakashi Hatake spoke up, saying, "Yoruichi Yagami said that Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha are 'destined to be together.' Could there be any connection between the two?"

"Jiraiya's prophetic child?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback.

His most favored disciple abandoned his village because of the prophecy of a group of toads on Mount Myōboku. He left the village to wander before the war was over, searching for the so-called Child of Prophecy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was angry about this for a long time.

But now, after hearing what Kakashi Hatake said, he immediately began to have doubts.

The 'life seal' that Yagami Yoruichi values ​​so highly might actually have some special properties.

The two expressions, '命咧印ⅰA言之子', sound very similar.

Could it be that the prophecy of the toads on Mount Myōboku is true?

Meanwhile, the prophetic child that his disciple had been searching for his whole life was right in his village, and there were two of them.

When Kakashi Hatake reported yesterday, he didn't take the "death's curse" too seriously, thinking it was just something Yoruichi Yagami made up to covet the Nine-Tails and the Sharingan's power.

But upon closer examination of Kakashi Hatake's speculation, it became clear that this matter needed to be taken seriously.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly said, "Tell me in detail about this 'fate,' or anything else you think is valuable!"

……

Just when Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a state of panic because of Yoruichi Yagami's appearance.

The news that Kumogakure had been attacked and nearly destroyed by a powerful stranger spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world.

In this relatively peaceful era, news spreads very quickly.

Throughout the ninja world, even the slightly larger powers learned of the sudden attack by a powerful stranger, which resulted in heavy losses for Kumogakure.

After confirming this, almost all forces did not try to take advantage of the situation, but instead sent out more people to investigate and confirm the information about the suddenly appearing unfamiliar powerful figure.

The Land of Water, the Village Hidden in Mist.

While Obito Uchiha was controlling the Fourth Mizukage, he was idly wondering whether he should randomly kill another batch of Mist Ninja to vent his anger.

Suddenly, Zetsu emerged from underground and said, "Obito, something's happened."

"Huh? Didn't I tell you to call me Uchiha Madara!" Uchiha Obito snorted coldly, clearly displeased, before asking, "What happened?"

"Kumakugakure has been wiped out." It was White Zetsu who spoke: "The one who did it was a powerful stranger who mastered Wood Release. He was very strong. That Wood Release was ten thousand times stronger than yours!"

Uchiha Obito's face beneath the mask was covered with black lines.

You bastard, if you can talk, then talk more, or I'll beat you to death!

"That mysterious person's strength is no less than that of Hashirama Senju back then."

Black Zetsu interrupted White Zetsu, saying, "Such a powerful individual is a variable for our plans."

"A Wood Release master? Not inferior to Hashirama Senju? Could it be that Hashirama Senju has been resurrected?" Obito Uchiha was filled with doubt.

“We can’t rule out that possibility, but I’m more inclined to believe that there are new Wood Release Awakeners, or that they are the product of human experiments,” Black Zetsu said, offering his conjecture.

After a slight pause, Black Zetsu said, "I will find out that person's identity as soon as possible. During this time, try to keep a low profile. If you encounter him, use Kamui to run away. Under no circumstances should you take action!"

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha slightly tightened his grip and crushed the armrest of the chair.

What do you mean by "use Kamui to run away when you encounter them"? Are you looking down on me?!

Do you even know what it means to be invincible under heaven?!

Despite being brutally beaten by Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha still believed that his space-time eye technique was invincible and that no one could possibly kill him.

Well, those who also master space-time ninjutsu are an exception.

But Wood Release...

Once you activate your divine power, no one can hit you. What's the use of being strong if you can't?

Seeing Obito Uchiha's attitude, Black Zetsu knew that all his words had been in vain. He sighed and said, "Anyway, I will find out the information as soon as possible. You don't need to play around anymore. Nagato still needs your guidance."

"Okay, I'll go back after a few more days of playing." Obito Uchiha waved his hand and said, "There's a talented guy in Kirigakure. I plan to recruit him as a subordinate and send him to Nagato's side as an undercover agent."

"Then I'll go do my work." Black Zetsu controlled White Zetsu's body, used the Mayfly Technique to dive underground, and disappeared.

……

The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

After a whole day of thinking, Yagami Yoruichi finally finalized her general plan for the future.

Rather than building a completely new organization from scratch, it's better to seize an existing one for your own use.

However, considering that Black Zetsu's strength is unknown.

In keeping with Yagami Yoruichi's habits, she would overestimate the strength of her enemies as much as possible, directly labeling Black Zetsu as a special 'Six Paths Level' powerhouse.

He may have many limitations in his attacks, but once he does, he can reach the level of a sixth-level attack.

In addition, the special body created by Yin-Yang Release makes most conventional attacks ineffective against Black Zetsu.

This unique characteristic allowed Yagami Yoruichi to raise the threat level of Black Zetsu to the highest level, second only to Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Therefore, seizing the 'Xiao Organization' is a high-risk act.

After much deliberation, Yagami Yoruichi decided to establish her own organization.

However, there are not many available personnel.

In this world's Konoha, very few can become like Yagami Yoruichi.

It's even less likely for other ninja villages.

The only ones we can find are rogue ninjas, or ordinary people with special identities or abilities.

After compiling a preliminary list, Yagami Yoruichi sent out clones to find suitable targets for contact.

However, there are some targets that Yagami Yoruichi herself is unsure of, or even whether they exist in this world.

Finding it by Yoruichi Yagami alone would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

We need the help of some powerful forces.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi went to the cell.

More than a day has passed, and the four prisoners have long since woken up.

However, being bound by Wood Release and sealed, he couldn't extract a single trace of chakra and had no way to break free.

Upon seeing Yagami Yoruichi arrive, the Fourth Raikage, his eyes bloodshot, roared, "Damn it, who are you?!"

"Too noisy!" Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the Fourth Raikage and the two Jinchuriki who were also shouting. With a thought, vines automatically spread and covered their mouths.

Then, Yagami Yoruichi walked to the cell of the only silent earthen platform, looked at the earthen platform inside the cell, and said, "You are a smart person, you should understand your current situation."

"Since Your Excellency did not kill us, it means we are still useful."

With difficulty, Tsuchida raised his head to look at Yagami Yoruichi and said, "Tell me, what does Your Excellency desire?"

"If you give me the two Jinchuriki, I'll let you go back. If the Cloud Ninja can help me find someone, then I can return your Raikage."

Yoruichi Yagami showed no intention of haggling and said directly, "If you agree, you can leave now. If you refuse, then you and the Raikage will die here today."

Tailed beasts are also something worth studying.

The nine tailed beasts plus the Gedo Mazo make up the Ten-Tails, which is at the Six Paths level.

If we can learn something from the tailed beasts, we might be able to find a way to break through to the Six Paths level.

Despite having several paths already available, Yagami Yoruichi has no intention of giving up any possibility that could improve his chances of breaking through.

The tailed beast jinchūriki will definitely not be returned to the Cloud Ninja.

But it doesn't matter about the Fourth Raikage and Tsuchikage.

Even if they were to return to Kumogakure, given the village's current state, it would be difficult for it to maintain its status as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, let alone cause any trouble for Yagami Yoruichi.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, the Fourth Raikage's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he struggled desperately.
