Chapter 194: What Comes Will Come [37]
Chapter 194: What Comes Will Come [37]
After disciplining Mitarashi Anko, Feng Ye's days in Konoha became leisurely once more.
Having already stated that he wouldn't interfere in Konoha's affairs, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi being considerate enough not to assign anyone to monitor him, and Minato Namikaze acting as if he didn't exist, Feng Ye's subsequent life basically followed a set routine.
Guiding Uchiha Itachi in his training.
Guiding Anko and Rin in their training.
The rest of his time was spent cultivating the Immortal Body. His Immortal Body had just been formed, and it was still a long way from reaching the level of Senju Hashirama.
About two months later.
Uchiha Sasuke was born.
When Sasuke was born, Feng Ye had been paying close attention to the Uchiha compound, using his Sage Mode to perceive the newborn, but he did not sense the chakra of Indra.
This didn't surprise him. Even Uchiha Madara, with his Rinnegan, couldn't see that Naruto and Sasuke were the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, so it was unlikely that he would be able to perceive it either.
"Have you decided on a name?"
Feng Ye, holding the one-month-old Sasuke, smiled faintly and asked Fugaku Uchiha.
Fugaku Uchiha smiled and said, "Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke."
"That's a good name."
Feng Ye had been considering playing a prank by suggesting a different name for Sasuke, but he decided against it. However, Sasuke's life path would likely undergo tremendous changes in the future.
With him here, there was no way the Uchiha clan would be annihilated.
As for Naruto on the other side,
His birth was still five months away.
Feng Ye's gaze carried a hint of indifference.
"I wonder, Obito, if you're still planning to seize the Nine-Tails when Naruto is born, will you be able to stop him, Minato?"
...
Time flew by.
Several months passed in a hurry.
According to his memory of the dates, this period should be close to Naruto's birth, but Konoha hadn't notified him of anything.
Including Kakashi Hatake, who was supposed to be on guard duty.
He hadn't received any missions either.
At home.
Feng Ye sat on the sofa, tilting his head to look out the window at the moon hanging in the night sky, its bright lunar light illuminating the dark earth.
"So you're not going to inform me at all..."
Feng Ye shook his head.
Regarding the safety issue of the Nine-Tails' seal, neither Minato nor Hiruzen had informed him, and it wasn't just about adhering to his previous agreement not to interfere in Konoha's affairs. It also indicated the Konoha Elder Council's continued distrust of him.
This incident must have been discussed by the Konoha Elder Council, and Feng Ye could imagine that the topic of whether or not to notify him must have come up, only to be vetoed in the end.
"Since that's the case..."
"...then I'll truly be a bystander, Minato."
Feng Ye said indifferently in his mind.
Then he turned to look at the three girls, Rin, Kurenai, and Anko, who were sitting on the sofa, and said, "Alright, stop chatting, let's play some mahjong, and no cheating is allowed."
"Understood!"
"No problem."
The three girls replied in unison.
Feng Ye looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but scratch his hair. He felt a strange sense of guilt, wondering if he had corrupted them. Looking at this scene, one might think they were in the world of genius mahjong girls.
However, it was indeed necessary to take a break and relax during their spare time from cultivation.
...
Nothing happened that night.
Time continued to pass.
The next day.
Still, nothing happened in the evening.
Third day...
Fourth day...
Until the fifth day, when Feng Ye was sitting at the mahjong table, his hand paused as he reached for a tile.
Feng Ye paused slightly and then smiled, "Don't worry, I won't win that quickly... Well, but let's stop playing mahjong for now."
As he spoke, Feng Ye covered the mahjong tiles on the table.
Kurenai and Anko looked at him with puzzled expressions, unsure what he was up to. But then they heard Feng Ye continue in a calm voice.
"Rin, you protect Red and Anko..."
He raised his voice a little as he said this, calling out to the room where Kakashi was, "Kakashi, come out!"
"Huh?"
Kakashi pushed open the door and walked out, looking utterly dejected. Seeing Feng Ye, he said, "It's so late, the stores are all closed, you can't buy anything now."
"Why would I send you out to buy things at this hour... Well, come here and stay in the living room. Don't move around, and no matter what happens outside, don't take any action."
Feng Ye spoke calmly as he looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed slightly as he asked, "Has something happened?!'
Feng Ye took a step towards the window, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed at the sky outside, which was gradually being covered by dark clouds. His eyes narrowed as he spoke slowly.
"What comes will come."
...
Konoha.
Somewhere outside the village.
Boom!!!
A terrifying chakra surged into the sky, tingeing the moon with a bloody red light. Nine tails lashed out, causing the entire earth to tremble.
It was the Nine-Tails.
The strongest of all the tailed beasts, whose power alone could overwhelm five other tailed beasts. In its complete state, it was almost equivalent to the combined might of the other eight beasts!
It was an existence vastly different from the other eight beasts. Merely controlling a fraction of its chakra was enough to reach the pinnacle of Kage-level power, and full control would mean transcending even that!
At that moment.
Standing atop the Nine-Tails' head was a man.
He wore a spiral-patterned mask, and both his eyes were crimson Sharingan. The power of his Sharingan eyes was connected to the Nine-Tails below him, allowing him to almost completely control its power.
"So this is the power of the Nine-Tails..."
"Indeed, it's very strong, but it's still within my control."
Obito looked indifferently towards Konoha in the distance.
Having harnessed the power of the Nine-Tails, he was now virtually indistinguishable from Uchiha Madara at his peak.
He could feel that he now possessed a strength that surpassed all of the ninja world, with no one able to match him!
With this power.
Anything was possible!
"I've already captured the elusive Nine-Tails, so should I leave now or take care of some other business first... Hmm, it seems they don't want to let me go so easily."
Obito stood tall atop the Nine-Tails, looking down at a certain direction below him.
There.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, clad in the Fire Shadow's ceremonial robe, appeared without a sound. His face was grim as he looked up at Obito standing on the Nine-Tails' head, feeling an immense pressure from the sheer power of the chakra before him.
The man relied not only on the Nine-Tails' power but also possessed terrifying strength of his own!
"Who are you?!"
The name 'Obito' flashed through Minato's mind, but the chakra before him was so vastly different from what he remembered of Obito that he couldn't be sure.
Obito looked at Minato with indifferent eyes, his voice calm as he replied,
"...Uchiha, Madara."
