From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

"Fu, I'm sorry, I didn't come here to visit you. I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that Fu seemed completely unguarded, Sasuke chuckled, finding it somewhat amusing.

It's important to know that although Konoha has not officially designated Sasuke as a rogue ninja, he is currently nominally under Orochimaru's command.

There's no need to elaborate on how terrible Orochimaru's reputation is in the ninja world.

As Orochimaru's subordinate, Sasuke's reputation in the ninja world, while not as infamous as Orochimaru's, was certainly not much better.

Only someone as innocent and naive as Fu would be so trusting of Sasuke, whom she had only met once.

"I see."

Hearing that Sasuke hadn't come to visit her, Fu was a little disappointed, but her enthusiasm remained undiminished. She said generously, "Tell me, Sasuke-kun, what do you need me for? If I can help, I'll do my best!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes flickered, and he sighed inwardly.

Sasuke considers himself a decisive and ruthless person. When facing villains and enemies, he is willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals, employing all sorts of schemes and tricks.

But he just couldn't bring himself to be cruel to someone as innocent and carefree as Fu, who considered him a true friend.

If it were any other Jinchuriki, Sasuke wouldn't bother with formalities; he'd just use his Gundam to suppress them.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke pointed to Fu's abdomen and said, "I want to meet with the friend inside you and have a chat."

"Meet with Xiaoming?"

Fu paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

This guy definitely has ill intentions!

Upon hearing this, Nanao Shigeaki was startled and quickly said, "Fu, get out of here immediately..."

"of course can!"

Before Shigeaki Nanao could finish speaking, Fu nodded and agreed.

"Although I don't know how you, Sasuke-kun, knew about Xiaoming's existence, as a friend, there's no point in delving into it."

"Although many people have prejudices against Xiaoming, I know that Xiaoming is a kind-hearted person, and he also loves making friends. If you two can have a chat, you will definitely become good friends!"

I'm not!

I don't!

Don't talk nonsense!

No one would want to be friends with a descendant of Indra!

Upon hearing this, Nanao Shigeaki's lips twitched, feeling utterly helpless.

"However, Sasuke-kun, although I really want to agree to your request, Xiaoming is inside me, and I don't know how to let it meet you."

Fu said with distress.

"This matter is very simple, leave it to me to handle."

Sasuke nodded, his black pupils suddenly turning crimson. Fu's face froze for a moment, then she fell into a deep sleep.

Inside the Tailed Beast's spiritual space, the Seven-Tails, Chongming, looked at the black-haired boy before him with a wary expression and said in a deep voice with extreme unease, "Uchiha Sasuke, what do you want from me?"

As a soulmate of Fu, Nanao Shigeaki could have awakened Fu from her illusion, but she did not.

Because it knew Fu's personality, even if it woke her up, Fu wouldn't leave. Instead, she would kindly persuade it to meet with Uchiha Sasuke.

Since that's the case, why doesn't Shichimaru meet with Sasuke Uchiha and see what his purpose is?

Looking at the giant flying insect before him, with six wings and a tail, resembling a combination of a beetle and a dragonfly, Sasuke chuckled softly:

"We've only just met, why are you so hostile towards me?"

Upon hearing this, Nanao Shigeaki sneered and mocked, "Do you think you've come here with any good intentions?"

"In your understanding, it certainly has ill intentions."

Sasuke nodded, not denying it: "I came to you to make a deal. I want a portion of your chakra."

"As expected, they had ill intentions."

Shichikame coldly refused, saying, "Although I don't know what you want my chakra for, as a member of the Uchiha clan, you shouldn't expect to get even a single ounce of chakra from me!"

"I find this strange..."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke remained calm and slowly asked, "Why are you tailed beasts so hostile towards the descendants of Indra?"

Shichimei was taken aback: "You know Indra?"

Sasuke nodded and said calmly, "I know more than you think, Chongming."

This guy knows my name!?

Upon hearing this, Nanao Shigeaki's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the boy with surprise and doubt, saying, "You are the reincarnation of Indra in this generation!?"

"Perhaps so, but that's not important. You haven't answered my question yet: why are you so hostile towards Indra's descendants, or rather, towards Indra himself?"

"Why would there be? Of course, it's because..."

At this point, Shigeaki Nanao was momentarily speechless.

Sasuke pressed on, "Of course it is?"

Shigeaki Nanao snorted coldly: "Of course it's because you always want to control us!"

"Oh? I see."

Sasuke smiled meaningfully: "As far as I know, only the Mangekyou Sharingan can control tailed beasts. Apart from Madara Uchiha controlling the Nine-Tails to fight Hashirama Senju decades ago, can you name another example?"

Of course there is, that is, Obito Uchiha controlled the Three-Tails and the Nine-Tails.

However, these two things are not known to Shigeaki Nanao at present.

Upon hearing this, Shichibuki Chōmei was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Once is enough. Besides, no matter what, Indra is the enemy of us tailed beasts!"

“Indeed, a thousand years ago, when you were Ashura’s allies, Indra was indeed an enemy of your tailed beasts.”

Sasuke nodded, then changed the subject and said calmly, "But what happened after Indra and Ashura? It was Ashura's descendants, the Uzumaki clan, who created the sealing technique system that can seal tailed beasts, allowing the people of the ninja world to start capturing you."

"It was Ashura's descendant who became the first Jinchuriki in the ninja world, allowing the world to know that it was possible to seal the Tailed Beasts into one's body and obtain their power!"

"this!?"

The Seven-Tails, Chongming, was shocked, his heart filled with turbulent waves. Sasuke continued, "In the end, it was the descendants of Ashura, or even the reincarnation of the previous Ashura, Senju Hashirama, who captured all nine of you tailed beasts and distributed them to various ninja villages, resulting in you being imprisoned for decades without freedom. Even the reincarnations of your former comrades who fought alongside you treated you the same way."

"So tell me, Chongming, why don't you hate the Asura descendants who led you to your current predicament, instead of still harboring such great prejudice against the Indra descendants?"

At this point, Sasuke shook his head: "To be honest, if it weren't for Fu, I wouldn't have told you so much."

Upon hearing this, Nanao Shigeaki fell into a deep silence. After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Speak, what is this so-called deal you're talking about?"

"I will save Fu's life in the future, and at the same time, I promise you freedom."

Save Fu's life?

A hint of doubt flashed in Nanao Shigeaki's eyes. After hesitating for two seconds, he asked, "Can I refuse?"

In its view, Fu naturally has its protection.

As for so-called freedom?

Nanao Shigeaki didn't really believe much.

Although Sasuke Uchiha's words made it resent Ashura himself.

However, its deep-rooted prejudice against the descendants of Indra, which has persisted for thousands of years, has led it to still not believe in the descendants of Indra.

Not to mention that this descendant of Indra is his reincarnation!

"reject?"

Sasuke grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth, and his three-tomoe eyes transformed into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"I'm sorry, you don't have the right to refuse!"

Eternal Kaleidoscope!?

Even Indra himself was not as good as him at that age.

Upon seeing this, Nanao Shigeaki was startled and no longer doubted the identity of the boy before him as the reincarnation of Indra.

"Alright, I'll make a deal with you. I hope you'll keep your promise, Uchiha Sasuke!"

After saying this, Nanao Shigeaki closed his eyes and never uttered another word.

...........

Shikub Forest, in the center of a dense forest.

On the lawn, Sakura and Yakumo sat facing each other, their palms about half a foot apart.

The swords of Indra and Asura floated around the two, forming a yin-yang symbol.

A warm, golden energy surged from Sakura's body, while a dark, purple energy emanated from Yakumo's body.

Golden energy swept across the lawn, lush and vibrant with life; purple ripples danced and swirled across the grass, graceful and agile.

One gave it life, and the other gave it a soul.

Two streams of energy, one gold and one purple, swirled and flowed like the yin and yang poles of a Tai Chi symbol, converging at the center of the two to form a yin-yang vortex.

They absorbed the abundant natural energy of the Wet Bone Forest, which then flowed into their bodies, forming a mysterious transformation of internal and external circulation and the convergence of Yin and Yang.

As expected of the immortal sword left behind by Hagoromo!

In the distance, the giant slug fairy who witnessed this scene thought to itself that it had made a blunder.

The two girls in front of them were not reincarnations of Asura Indra, but had obtained these two Yin-Yang artifacts by chance.

The two had now reached a state infinitely close to the highest realm of cultivating immortal arts—the convergence and balance of Yin and Yang.

Absolute yin-yang balance is merely a theory in immortal arts, and there is almost no possibility of it being ultimately achieved.

After all, the spiritual energy and physical energy in the human body cannot be completely the same. Even if someone is both a medical master and a magician, the amount of yin and yang cannot be exactly the same.

However, with the aid of two immortal swords, the two girls in front of them were infinitely close to the absolute yin-yang balance that only exists in theory.

The reason it is only said to be infinitely close is because the two girls' bodies have not yet reached the absolute yin-yang balance like the two immortal swords.

However, in this state, the two of them cultivated immortal techniques at an extremely terrifying speed.
