Chapter 130 The Ten-Tails' Shell Plan

"Alright, you bastards, if you're going to copy, I'll disqualify you."

Ibiki Morino coldly addressed the arguing crowd inside, saying that there were too many people in the first round, and he would find a way to eliminate a group of them.

"snort!"

"snort!"

Upon seeing the Konoha examiner arrive, Kurotsuchi and Naruto stopped arguing. However, they both secretly resolved that if they encountered this guy in the next exam, they would definitely teach him a lesson!

"Let's begin the exam. Let me explain the rules first."

Soon, under the supervision of Ibiki Morino, the exam began.

Meanwhile, the Jonin of Konoha were also busy.

The Jonin still in Konoha received messages in batches, instructing them to collect a secret medicine. Furthermore, the Jonin in the village were also required to go to the vicinity of the Scientific Ninja Experiment Base to familiarize themselves with the newly developed scientific ninja tools.

At present, scientific ninja tools are mainly used to assist in killing enemies by modifying some minor functions; if you encounter enemies in a forest encounter, scientific ninja tools may have unexpected effects.

"Red, Kai, Asuma, and Ray... Wow, so many people have come all of a sudden! Are you all here to collect the secret medicine?"

Kakashi was somewhat surprised to see that many people he knew had arrived outside. After counting them, he found that there were already nine people, making ten in total.

"Kakashi, you're so slow!"

Kurenai couldn't help but complain, "We're the fourth team. We can only go in to collect the secret medicine when everyone is here, and there are even instructions and warnings."

Although she already knew about the secret medicine and its effects, she couldn't reveal it due to special circumstances; otherwise, if they asked, Kurenai would have a hard time explaining, as she couldn't very well say that Shirakumo Yosuke told her while they were in bed.

"Huh, is that even possible?"

Kakashi was taken aback, then realized that his habitual lateness had kept so many people waiting for a long time, so he quickly apologized sheepishly, "Ah, sorry, sorry, I thought you were coming alone, so I thought it wouldn't matter if you were a little late."

"It's alright, since all my subordinates have gone to participate in the Chunin Exams, it's a rare time for me to relax. Kakashi, let's have a match and see who gets a better ranking this time, my student or your student."

Might Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs-up and said with passionate enthusiasm.

"Forget it, Kai, I won't bet on a match where it's obvious you'll lose."

Kakashi casually waved his hand and said that the strength of his three students had increased in a way that he couldn't understand; especially Uchiha Sasuke, who had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Once Sasuke Uchiha has mastered the Sharingan and slightly improved his physical abilities, strength, spirit, and wisdom, he will be a standard Jonin, probably even stronger than when he was twelve years old.

Even though he hasn't had much time to improve due to the Chunin Exams, he's practically invincible in this exam just by relying on his Sharingan genjutsu with three tomoe.

Kakashi couldn't think of any genin who could counter the genjutsu of the three-tomoe Sharingan. Even he himself only relied on his Sharingan and experience to deal with Uchiha Sasuke.

"What?! Kakashi, you actually underestimate my subordinate!"

Suddenly, Might Guy, brimming with excitement, rushed to Kakashi's side and shouted, "My men will never lose! If they do, I'll run five hundred laps around the village handstand!"

"They've started again. Let's go inside first; we have things to do later."

Namiashi Raido said helplessly, "These Jonin are all from the same generation and know each other quite well. Kakashi and Might Guy making bets like this is nothing new to them."

After hearing this, Kurenai followed her inside, but she was just going through the motions. In reality, she didn't lack this kind of secret medicine. If she didn't have it, she could just ask Shirokumo Yosuke for it. Moreover, unless it was a particularly difficult mission, she wouldn't have the chance to take it.

Yosuke Shirakumo was also afraid that Kurenai Yuhi would suddenly become clear-headed after taking the CSE capsules and realize his relationship with other women, so he exaggerated many of the CSE capsules' shortcomings, which was a way of dispelling Kurenai Yuhi's idea.

Asuma Sarutobi, who was at the very back, sighed as he saw Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful back. Even now, he still couldn't forget her. Although he was certain that Kurenai Yuhi was indeed dating another man, he couldn't find out who that man was.

The thought of Kurenai Yuhi going to a general store to buy an umbrella made Asuma Sarutobi's heart ache unbearably. He had loved Kurenai Yuhi for over a decade, and had even given her many flowers, which she had accepted.

But now they've lost inexplicably.

Sarutobi Asuma stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, his inner resentment showing on his face.

"Asuma, are you alright?"

After coughing twice, Gekko Hayate asked, "Asuma's expression is a bit off. And who was he looking at just now?"

"No, it's okay, let's go inside quickly."

A slightly flustered Asuma, interrupted like this, tried to cover it up, then threw away the broken cigarette, lit another one, and followed the others.

The first exam is in full swing!

It tests everyone's intelligence gathering ability and mental fortitude. Without relevant experience, the chances of passing if you run into Ibiki Morino are very slim.

However, the Chunin Exams were nothing to Konoha, and they even had very few people involved.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village is currently using the allure of the Chunin Exams to secretly relocate its ninja forces to the border.

Fewer than twenty people in Konoha knew about this. Even the Jonin just obediently carried out orders. They could guess from these orders that the village wanted to start a war after the Chunin Exams, but they wouldn't let it leak out.

But there are some exceptions.

Not long after the first exam began, Nara Shikaku visited Hiruzen Sarutobi's home.

After exchanging a few polite words and finishing his first sip of tea, Nara Shikaku finally got to the point: "Third Hokage, you probably already know about this."

As he spoke, Nara Shikaku took out a small bottle from his pocket containing two CSE capsules.

"This is a secret medicine that Shirakumo Yosuke recently developed. Its effects are remarkable. Although it is designed to be taken during missions, a ninja from the Nara clan has already taken it. It can greatly enhance brainpower and control over the body. The Nara clan ninja who took it was able to deal with two or three clansmen at the same time and gain the upper hand."

"There's such a secret medicine?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked surprised and picked it up to examine it. He truly did not know about this matter, but the effects of this medicine were truly astonishing.

Are there any long-term effects?

Nara Shikaku said, "After five minutes, you will experience nausea and dizziness, but these are easy to control. However, this secret medicine can only be taken twice a day at most, with an interval of more than one hour between doses, otherwise it will cause permanent damage to the brain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "Isn't this basically without any side effects? On the battlefield, it can be considered a secret medicine for survival in dire situations."

Vomiting and dizziness are nothing; even experienced ninjas can overcome them quickly. From this perspective, it's practically a miracle drug.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask, "Shikaku, is this kind of secret medicine supplied by the village?"

"Initially, each person received two pills for free. During the war, one pill could be obtained through missions. Apart from that, only those who completed S-rank missions with special Naruto endorsements could receive them. If others wanted them, they would probably have to buy them with money."

Nara Shikaku spoke up, saying that this was something the Hokage's office had arranged in advance when informing them, the Jonin, and that they had managed to do this so thoroughly that Nara Shikaku couldn't find any fault with it.

To obtain a secret medicine with almost no side effects during a dangerous mission is an unexpected and rare benefit for other ninjas; moreover, it is said that this secret medicine was developed by Hakuun Yosuke himself. He had previously asked the Akimichi clan for the secret medicine formula, but after failing to obtain it, he developed this CSE capsule.

Aside from missions, if you sell them, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. Even if Chunin and Genin don't encounter particularly dangerous missions, they would definitely want an extra means of self-defense.

"I didn't expect to see results so quickly. That guy is really something."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag on his pipe with a blank expression, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anything else, Shikaku?"

"The village has already begun its operation!"

After hesitating for a while, Nara Shikaku finally brought it up. Hundreds of years of family friendship, coupled with decades of getting along, had made him emotionally inclined towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Action. You mean war?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback and quickly asked, "How could it be so fast? Aren't we in the Chunin Exams right now?"

"The Chunin Exams are just a smokescreen. On the third day after the Chunin Exams end, the village will launch its war. This time, the village's plan is to completely eliminate the resistance forces of the Cloud Ninja and destroy the Land of Lightning!"

Now that the beginning has been mentioned, Nara Shikaku's burden has been greatly reduced. Although he was ordered not to leak the information, if Nara Shikaku had this intention from the start, Tsunade's order could be disregarded.

"Kumoku Village? Isn't it Iwagakure?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, puzzled, "Shouldn't the village with the biggest conflict with Konoha be the Iwagakure village, which has taken up a share of the mission? Why do we have to eliminate the Kumogakure village first?"

"Because of the threat from the Cloud Ninja, after eliminating the Cloud Ninja, we will target the Iwa Ninja."

Nara Shikaku explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen that this was actually Shirakumo Yosuke's decision alone. He added that there was little difference between Kumo-nin and Iwa-nin for Konoha; they were both enemies.

However, if Baiyun Youjie had to choose, he would definitely choose the Yun ninja first; the Yun ninja are more combative, and their desire for revenge and their determination to fight to the death far exceed those of the Iwa ninja.

These villages are like venomous snakes. Since a feud has already been formed, they should be completely wiped out, and the roots should be removed so that the Cloud Village has no ability to retaliate.

Otherwise, if an accident is left unchecked, there's a chance someone might launch a terrorist attack on Konoha someday.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Fighting two ninja villages at the same time will result in many more casualties. Shikaku, this war will probably be far more severe than ever before."

"After all, all five ninja villages will be involved, so it can basically be considered the 'Fifth Shinobi World War'."

Nara Shikaku's expression also became more serious, and then he said with a hint of speculation, "However, it seems that Lady Tsunade has a trump card to deal with it, and only Lady Tsunade and Yosuke Shirakumo know exactly what it is. No one else knows, not even me, the class leader of the Jonin team."

"What could be kept secret? Could it be Orochimaru's movements?"

"That's unclear, Lord Sandai."

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said that he then chatted with Sarutobi Hiruzen for a long time before getting up to take his leave. He only visits once every month or so, and usually relies on his wife to deliver messages so as not to attract the attention of others.

Apart from Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku didn't even tell the Yamanaka clan about this. Although the three clans were on good terms, he didn't have much contact with the elders of the Yamanaka clan.

Apart from Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku didn't really believe it, but Yamanaka Inoichi is now dead.

After Nara Shikaku left, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent for a long time, until his pipe went out for a while before he came back to his senses.

"Danzo, don't disappoint me, or I will definitely take action against you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi could vaguely guess Danzo's thoughts. After much deliberation, he took out a scroll and recorded the information he had recently obtained.

However, after finishing writing, he paused for a while, pondered for a bit, then crossed out some of the information and rewrote it before using his psychic powers.

Bang!

A small monkey appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he handed the scroll to the monkey, saying, "Take it."

The little monkey took the scroll and nodded, then dispelled the spirit-summoning spell.

"Don't disappoint me, Danzo!"

--------------

"Orochimaru, do me a favor sometime in the future."

When Hakuun Yosuke finally had time to visit Orochimaru's research base, this was the first thing he said to him.

"Yosuke-kun, you always ask me for help, but you rarely keep your promises."

"I'm here to fulfill my promise this time, Orochimaru. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Bai Yunyangjie patted his chest and said, "After I help you, you have to promise me you'll go to the battlefield, right?"

"Then help me analyze the possible battlefields for the spirit parasitism technique?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then abandoned his idea of ​​developing a spirit parasitism technique, and said calmly, "I'll study it myself. I'll be busy later, so I won't personally see you out."

"Don't say that, Orochimaru. If we destroy the Hidden Cloud Village, we will have more resources to develop, and we will be able to develop the Dragon Vein sooner. It is difficult for Konoha to develop the Dragon Vein and search for other worlds on its own."

Upon hearing Shirokumo Yosuke's words, Orochimaru sighed inwardly, knowing that he had been persuaded by Shirokumo Yosuke once again.

Now, having regained his youth through cell fusion technology, eternal life is almost within his grasp. Orochimaru now desires to control all techniques and all truths in the world.

This dream couldn't be achieved without the support of Yosuke Shirakumo, and Orochimaru himself also wanted to see that unfamiliar world from his dream.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do with me this time?"

"Go to the battlefield and kill as many Cloud Ninja's Genin, Chunin, and Jonin as you can. If you can capture them alive and bring them back for experiments, that's fine too. Just reduce the enemy's manpower as much as possible."

Shirokumo Yosuke made a gesture of absolute execution.

"Cloud Ninja, and the Cloud Village?"

Orochimaru's lips twitched slightly, then he sighed and said, "Yosuke-kun, you really know how to assign me missions. If there are ranks above S-rank, this should be an SSSS-rank mission."

"We've done this before, Orochimaru, and this time the danger is definitely much less than before, because their attention is entirely on the front lines."

The Cloud Ninja's ability to rapidly build up their forces is quite good; a large number of Chunin and Genin are concentrated in the Cloud Ninja Village, which must be dealt with. In the Leaf Village, apart from Hakukumo Yosuke, there are almost no ninjas capable of fighting ten thousand single-handedly, but there are a few capable of fighting a thousand single-handedly.

But Orochimaru is the most suitable!

"Use the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Those few Hashirama cell life forms that we captured some time ago can be used as sacrifices to unleash the greatest power of the dead in life. But don't use Konoha ninjas."

The Hashirama cell life form is a White Zetsu clone. It had been trying to gather information about Konoha for some time, but it was detected by the all-encompassing barrier and captured.

Because the life form was so unique, existing somewhere between a plant and a living person, Orochimaru sealed the White Zetsu in a special container, preserving its life while allowing Orochimaru to study it at any time.

"In that case, I'd have to go grave robbing."

Orochimaru sighed. He knew this would be difficult, but he hadn't expected Hakuun Yosuke to be so outrageous, even planning his own funeral. After all that, he felt he had to go to tutoring classes, and there was nothing to do there.

"Help me perfect these three ninjutsu. I'll take care of the Impure World Reincarnation."

Fortunately, as long as the Impure World Reincarnation isn't sealed, it can be used indefinitely. Orochimaru plans to be more careful this time and find several powerful corpses that can cooperate with him.

Let's leave this corpse-stealing mission to Kabuto; he's out there anyway.

"Three? Wasn't there just one spirit or something parasitizing it?"

"You misheard me, there are three. These two are based on my research on forbidden techniques collected by the Second Hokage. I'll leave the verification and calculation to you, Yosuke-kun."

Tobirama Senju not only created many ninjutsu himself, but also collected some. Orochimaru, now relying on Yosuke Hakuun, has also seen many of Tobirama Senju's collections and has many ideas for improvement based on the forbidden techniques he left behind.

This time, Orochimaru took advantage of the opportunity when Hakuun Yosuke asked him for help to directly throw three unfinished forbidden techniques ideas to Hakuun Yosuke.

If there is hope for perfection, Hakuun Yosuke will help him calculate and perfect it; if not, he will also mark the reasons for failure. Orochimaru greatly envies this ability. Although relying on CSE can allow him to briefly approach this state, Orochimaru cannot create something out of nothing.

"Fine, three it is. If the data is too little, I'll just give up."

Baiyun Yangjie agreed. The calculation of the technique was not as complicated as that of the secret medicine, but it was about right for the three forbidden techniques combined. After calculating the forbidden techniques that Orochimaru needed, he would focus on squeezing the Yin Nine-Tails' chakra for a while.

Spirit parasitism, Orochi technique, and human tailed beast transformation.

When Hakuun Yosuke returned home and saw the three forbidden techniques, he quickly guessed Orochimaru's plan.

"Trying to use his clone to corrupt the Tailed Beasts, this guy really dares to dream, but the possibility seems pretty high."

After reading these three forbidden techniques, Shiraku Yosuke was suddenly inspired with some ideas about the nine tailed beasts and the ten-tailed beast.

The power in the ninja world was brought by the Otsutsuki clan. The most powerful power is the Ten-Tails, but there are only two Ten-Tails in the ninja world. One is in the hands of the hidden Otsutsuki, and the other is Kaguya's will.

After Madara Uchiha became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, he was constantly influenced by Kaguya's will.

Yosuke Shirakumo wanted to cultivate his own Ten-Tails, a Ten-Tails that would not be influenced by the nine tailed beasts or Kaguya's will.

"Spiritual parasitism and human transformation into a tailed beast seem to allow one to cultivate their own tailed beast clones. Combined with the fusion properties of the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique... Was Orochimaru doing this on purpose or unintentionally?"

Hakuun Yosuke shook his head, saying it was unlikely that Orochimaru did it on purpose; he probably didn't know about the Ten-Tails.

"Let's calculate the probability first. If possible, it would take quite a while to cultivate nine tailed beast clones."

Omniscience ability, activated.

After activating his omniscient ability, Shiraku Yosuke instantly entered a special state. In an instant, the three forbidden techniques seemed to transform into countless characters, combining and reenacting around him.

In Shirakumo Yosuke's mind, based on his known knowledge of forbidden techniques, he quickly calculated and perfected the techniques, filling in the loopholes and erroneous details that Orochimaru had not discovered.

This state of clear-headed control far exceeded the effects of the CSE capsules.

"Hey, hey, why is this guy doing it again?"

Kushina, inside the sealed space, saw her chakra rapidly decreasing and hurriedly asked what was wrong. But remembering that she had been scolded for her kindness last time, she sat down in a huff this time.

"Who cares about you?"

Kushina muttered to herself, but she kept her eyes constantly on the seal on Yin Jiuwei, glancing at it every now and then. If the Four Symbols Seal loosened even slightly, she would immediately take action.

The three forbidden techniques were meant to calculate a new result, which should have been an enormous waste of chakra. However, the calculation of the tailed beast clones went exceptionally smoothly, as if the power itself had granted him the result.

Even so, it still took more than an hour.

"Phew, it worked! I cloned my own body, used the Spirit Parasitism Technique to control it, then transplanted the tailed beast chakra into the clones in batches, and finally used the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique to fuse the nine tailed beast clones. I cultivated a new Ten-Tails body, but this Ten-Tails body is entirely imbued with my own will!"

The three forbidden techniques—spirit parasitism, Orochi, and human tailed beast transformation—have all been improved and refined by Shirakumo Yosuke, thanks in large part to his current mastery of human modification knowledge.

If it were when he had just gained the ability, it would have taken him at least seven or eight hours to calculate the result.

"I need to take a break."

Kurenai Yuhi is probably on a mission, Sakura and Ino are still taking exams, and Tsunade is most likely busy right now. If he goes to the Hokage's office, he'll probably be dragged there to do manual labor.

So Shiraku Yosuke arrived at the sealed space and walked straight over to Kushina Shiraishi, who was sitting on the ground.

Seeing this, Kushina asked nervously, "W-what are you doing?"

"Thank you for the lap pillow, Kushina."

Want a knee pillow again?

Kushina clenched her fist in embarrassment and anger, gesturing wildly, "Don't you have anything important in your head?"

"I just finished some serious business and that's why I wanted a lap pillow. You've never thought about such complicated and tedious forbidden technique calculations before, you don't understand this feeling, Kushina. Please, lap pillow, it's a promise!"

"I know that damned guy!"

Because she wanted to go out and cheer for Naruto afterward, Kushina shouted angrily and reluctantly adjusted her posture, displaying her plump, white-stockinged thighs to Yosuke Shirakumo in a kneeling position.

Bai Yunyou immediately lay down, and after feeling the silky softness of the long, white-stockinged legs, he said soothingly, "Phew, thank you for the treat!"

Kushina couldn't help but tap Yosuke Shirakumo on the head: "Don't talk like you're enjoying food! What do you take someone else's thigh for?!"

"ice cream?"

"You little slut!!!"

After arguing for a short while, Shiraku Yosuke fell into a deep sleep to rest. He would feel extremely tired after using his abilities, and even using the tailed beast's chakra only relieved his headaches and loss of emotions.

"Taking the initiative to attack? Tsunade actually made such a decisive decision."

Danzo was somewhat surprised when he saw the information sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi. He did not expect that a ninja from the Third Hokage's lineage would take the initiative to start a war.

"It seems Tsunade has been quite influenced by that guy. If this continues, he might become the Sixth Hokage."

Danzo's eyes flashed with a cold light when he thought of Shiraku Yosuke.

He only dreamt of dying at the hands of Shirakumo Yosuke and a small part of what happened in Konoha; he knew nothing about what happened afterward.

However, he died a very humiliating death, so humiliating that Danzo could never forget it; he clearly possessed great power, but he couldn't use it at all, and then died amidst everyone's contempt.

"Shirakumo Yosuke, this will never happen again!"

After saying this in a low voice, Danzo stood up and walked outside. He then gathered two teams of Root ninja and set off for the Land of Lightning.

Now that we know this information, we should make good use of it.
