Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Many people only know that this person is very strong.

They are even powerful enough to suppress tailed beasts, but there are others in the ninja world who can do that.

Therefore, many people only regard Yu Ming as a Kage-level powerhouse.

This is no one else's fault, since Yu Ming hadn't really shown his power much to begin with.

Many times, when he was fighting, there was no one around watching him.

For example, in the battle against the Shadow, after the Shadow sacrificed himself, he possessed true Kage-level combat power, possibly even stronger than Nagato.

But during that battle, the only two spectators also fainted.

Therefore, no one knew about that battle, which was comparable to the one between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

The ninja world's current knowledge of Yu Ming's achievements is limited to suppressing the Three-Tails, sealing the Nine-Tails after it went completely berserk, killing Sasori of the Red Sand, and defeating Kisame Hoshigaki. That's all.

Of course, these achievements demonstrate Yu Ming's strength, but he has not yet reached the level of Hashirama Senju, who could suppress an entire era single-handedly.

However, in Tsunade's eyes, Yu Ming was much stronger than her grandfather.

After dealing with everyone, Yu Ming looked at Kurama and said, "You should go back. Although your appearance now won't cause Naruto much harm, it's still somewhat disadvantageous for him. He's still struggling to fully withstand your power."

Kurama pouted, "If I had been sealed inside you back then, I probably could have entered the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode by now."

Whether it was because she developed feelings for Yu Ming or something else, the Nine-Tails suddenly thought of what Yu Ming had said when she was sealed inside.

In fact, Kurama is quite intelligent and knows very well that Yu Ming's current power has even reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths, and may even surpass it.

With his strength, as long as he stays by Naruto's side, no one in the ninja world can capture him.

However, it knew very well that Yu Ming would not do that.

The Nine-Tails reluctantly shrank back into Naruto's body.

After the Nine-Tails' chakra receded, Naruto lay on the ground, breathing heavily and weakly.

Yu Ming came to Naruto and performed medical ninjutsu on him.

"You're still a bit lacking. Keep up the good work in your training. Even after you've fully transformed into the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails' consciousness will still be dominant, and you'll have completely lost your consciousness."

Naruto said with a wry smile, "The power of the Nine-Tails is just too strong. I've tried my best, but I still struggle to even reach the Nine-Tails state, let alone fully transform into the Nine-Tails."

"Completely transformed into the Nine-Tails, my consciousness cannot even enter the Nine-Tails' chakra."

After Yu Ming applied medical ninjutsu for a while, he laughed and said, "There's still time. Don't rush. Your current power is already comparable to Sasuke's. When you fully master the Nine-Tails' power, that's when you will completely surpass him."

"As long as you have complete control over the Nine-Tails' chakra, even if it fully awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, it still won't be able to hallucinate you."

If you can completely control a tailed beast, just like Killer Bee, even if Sasuke uses his Eternal-level Mangekyou Sharingan, he won't be able to induce hallucinations.

It is only possible to induce hallucinations if one encounters a master of illusion techniques and possesses the eternal-level power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Even a non-genjutsu master like Sasuke, with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, is unable to work against a perfect-level Jinchuriki.

Naruto nodded. "I know. After mastering a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra during this time, I realized just how terrifying the Nine-Tails' power truly is."

"I never knew that such a terrifying existence was sealed inside my body."

Kurama, who was inside Naruto, rolled its eyes at him.

"Who could be more terrifying than Yu Ming? Compared to him, I seem so mild."

Although Kurama is not Yu Ming's tailed beast, for some reason, after Yu Ming and Kurama reached an agreement, Kurama became particularly close to Yu Ming.

He likes to mention Yu Ming in everything.

This left Yu Ming speechless.

Often, it would bring up topics that had nothing to do with Yu Ming at all.

Chapter 289 Investigating the Truth Behind Ku's Complete Nine-Tails Transformation

Yu Ming frowned. "You've noticed the abnormality of the Nine-Tails inside that guy's body, haven't you?"

The Nine-Tails, which had been lying in Naruto's consciousness space, stood up and its expression became serious.

Yu Ming's words made the Nine-Tails serious, because it also sensed the same thing from the Nine-Tails chakra within the empty body.

Logically speaking, with the Nine-Tails chakra within his body, he shouldn't be able to completely transform into the Nine-Tails; he couldn't do it.

At most, it will just enter the tailed beast cloak mode.

However, Sora had completely transformed into the Nine-Tails.

Kurama communicated with Yu Ming through chakra, saying, "I sensed the power of the Rinnegan within it. Could it be the leader of the Akatsuki?"

Yu Ming nodded. "I'm afraid so. Otherwise, with Kong's physical abilities, he wouldn't be able to fully transform into the Nine-Tails."

Kurama was very serious because Akatsuki had already set its sights on Konoha, which meant that their next target for the Tailed Beasts was Naruto.

Naruto hasn't fully mastered its power yet.

Kurama frowned for a moment, realizing that Naruto might not have a chance of winning against the Akatsuki ninjas.

Moreover, the ninjas within the Akatsuki organization each possess unique and uncanny abilities.

Yu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Naruto will be staying in the village during this time. You should help him master your power. I will go out and investigate during this period."

Kurama paused for a moment, then asked somewhat strangely, "Go out to investigate? Aren't you worried that they might attack Konoha while you're away?"

Yu Ming laughed and said, "No, they don't have that kind of guts. Unless their leader comes, they will die a terrible death if they try to attack Konoha."

Although the Akatsuki organization has many skilled members, they haven't dared to attack a major ninja village for many years, because a ninja village isn't just about having top-tier experts.

The five great ninja villages each have at least seven or eight thousand ninjas.

Without the strength of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who would dare to storm into a village and slaughter everyone?

If a village could be destroyed by a Kage-level ninja, then the Five Great Ninja Villages wouldn't have existed for decades.

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded.

Kurama simply felt that if Yu Ming left the village, it would inevitably lead to the Akatsuki attacking Konoha. At that time, Naruto, who did not possess the power of Kurama, might not be their match.

The presence of powerful figures like Tsunade, Kakashi, and Yamato in the village creates too many limitations.

Tsunade can handle a Kage-level opponent, but Kakashi and Yamato cannot.

When fighting Kakuzu, Kakashi and Shikamaru were completely overwhelmed.

If Naruto and Yamato hadn't arrived later, and if Kakuzu hadn't been so reckless, even with Naruto, Yamato, Kakashi, Shikamaru, and the others, they wouldn't have been able to defeat Kakuzu.

Kakuzu is definitely a Kage-level ninja; the power of his elemental ninjutsu is far greater than that of ordinary ninjas.

Although he can't compare to Yu Ming, he's still at a level that Kakashi's elemental ninjutsu can't match.

Therefore, if the Akatsuki were to attack Konoha, it would indeed pose a significant threat to the village.

However, Yu Ming also knew that during this period, the Akatsuki organization had only just begun collecting the Tailed Beasts, from the Two-Tails to the Eight-Tails, and this process had been going on for a very long time.

Furthermore, the tailed beasts are captured in order of the number of tails, because the Gedo Mazo needs to be sealed in order to extract the chakra of the tailed beasts.

Therefore, the Akatsuki organization is currently capturing the Two-Tails, and the Nine-Tails is the last one they need to capture.

However, Yu Ming was very curious about the Rinnegan power within Kong's body and wanted to find out what was going on.

Moreover, Ma seemed unaware of the changes within the empty body.

It is obvious that someone deliberately altered the chakra within the Nine-Tails.

After this period ended, Yu Ming asked Tsunade if he could go out to investigate the source of the Rinnegan power within Ku's body.

Because he sensed that the Rinnegan power within the empty body did not originate from Nagato.

Yu Ming was worried that other members of the Otsutsuki clan might appear ahead of time, and he needed to be careful about those of that level.

Those people are truly capable of rivaling me.

Furthermore, in the future of the ninja world, some people's Rinnegan can travel back in time.

Yu Ming needs to be wary of this.

If Nagato had done it, then Yu Ming would have had no chance of going out to investigate the truth. Linglong

However, this matter was clearly not caused by Nagato's Rinnegan.

His Rinnegan is not yet capable of achieving that level.

In the Hokage's room, Tsunade looked at Yu Ming with a solemn expression and said, "You mean, there are still people in the ninja world who have the Rinnegan?"

This news was truly unbelievable to Tsunade, because it was too terrifying.

It's already terrifying enough that Nagato possesses the Rinnegan; if many people had it, Konoha would be in real danger.

Yu Ming and Tsunade stood by the window. Yu Ming sensed the worry in Tsunade's heart and calmly said, "I will investigate thoroughly. Even if another pair of Rinnegan appears, I will nip it in the bud."

Tsunade held Yu Ming's hand without saying a word, gazing intently at him.

Yu Ming smiled, withdrew his hand, and patted Tsunade's shoulder, "Wait for me to come back."

Tsunade nodded.

Almost instantly, Yu Ming disappeared from the Hokage's room.

Looking at the spot where Yu Ming had disappeared, Tsunade clenched her fist.

She felt that she had become a burden to Yu Ming.

She had no way of dealing with Sora, who had fully transformed into the Nine-Tails.

Or rather, Konoha has now become a burden for Yu Ming.

Moreover, the danger they face now is even more terrifying than during the previous Ninja World War.

The enemy is stronger and more well-hidden.

Although the Fourth Shinobi World War was brutal and resulted in many deaths, it was still a fair and square confrontation between villages.

Most importantly, apart from Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, there was no ninja who could single-handedly sweep through an entire village.

Apart from Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, no other ninja has achieved this level of skill.

(Dema Zhao) The Second Hokage is not allowed, the Fourth Hokage is not allowed, and the Third Hokage is even more impossible.

As for the Kage of other villages, none of them could challenge an entire ninja village by themselves.

Now, there are only a few people who can suppress the entire ninja village. Yu Ming is one, and Nagato is half a ninja.
