And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, Kushina Uzumaki began to form hand seals to break the seal.

Normally, due to the seal, the Nine-Tails' chakra is completely imperceptible to others. However, with the seal being broken, an extremely ominous chakra aura began to emanate from Kushina Uzumaki.

"That's it! This chakra filled with hatred, Nine-Tails, you a collection of hatred, come out and wreak havoc!"

With the seal finally broken, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but get excited. His eyes transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan, and his powerful eye energy was ready to be unleashed, just waiting for the Nine-Tails to appear so he could control it.

With an expectant look in her eyes, the Nine-Tails' chakra gradually engulfed Kushina Uzumaki, causing the already weakened Kushina to faint.

A claw-like object emerged from Kushina's body, making the appearance of the Nine-Tails seem inevitable.

Terror was building, and a dark shadow loomed over the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Many ninjas with keen senses were suddenly awakened and looked in the direction of Kushina Uzumaki.

"Nine-Tails, are you really sure you want to come out?"

Just as the Nine-Tailed Fox's two claws appeared, Yi Shuihan spoke calmly.

"Does he think he can control the Nine-Tails' actions?"

Obito Uchiha thought dismissively, completely ignoring Yi Shuihan's words.

Not to mention him, neither Minato Namikaze nor Ye Gucheng took Yi Shuihan's words to heart. Right now, one of them was thinking about how to wait for the Nine-Tails to appear and deal with it, and the other was thinking about how to save Kushina.

"This is……?"

However, things took a strange turn. The Nine-Tails, which was about to emerge, suddenly stopped moving, as if it didn't want to come out anymore.

How could that be? Could it be that...

Three pairs of incredulous gazes focused on Yi Shuihan.

Those present were not fools, and they naturally realized that this was likely related to what Yi Shuihan had said earlier.

But could such a thing really happen? That nine-tailed fox actually gave up escaping from its cage and giving up its freedom just because of a single sentence from Yi Shuihan?

"Does he also have the Sharingan? And control the Nine-Tails?"

Obito Uchiha wanted to see traces of the Sharingan in Yi Shuihan's eyes, but he was destined to be disappointed.

Inside Kushina Uzumaki's body, the Nine-Tails remained completely still, like a statue.

"How could it be him? Damn it, I thought today was the day I would escape, but I never expected to run into the owner of that aura again."

Freedom is precious, but the thought that she might die if she went out made Kurama give up the freedom she had.

It's too dangerous outside; it's much more comfortable staying here.

Having made the decision, the Nine-Tails' chakra gradually returned to Kushina Uzumaki's body.

This scene was incredibly shocking to everyone who witnessed it.

In a single sentence, the Nine-Tails gave up its freedom and willingly allowed itself to be sealed away. No one would believe such a thing unless they saw it with their own eyes. Even if they did see it with their own eyes, Minato Namikaze and the others were wondering if they had fallen into a genjutsu.

"It seems the Nine-Tails is quite content being sealed away and doesn't want to come out!"

Looking at Obito Uchiha's worldview-shattering eyes, Yi Shuihan felt very comfortable.

"You won't come out? I'm making you come out no matter what."

Obito Uchiha released his gathered ocular power and, disregarding the fact that Kurama was still trapped, directly entered Kushina's body, attempting to forcibly control it.

"Is this the Uchiha gang? Trying to control me again? Dream on."

The Nine-Tails struggled, but its struggle did not play a decisive role. Its eyes gradually turned into Sharingan, and when the Sharingan completely occupied its eyes, it was the time when it was completely controlled.

"Don't try to succeed."

Minato Namikaze, sensing something was wrong, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to approach Obito Uchiha, intending to interrupt Obito's performance.

"You can't stop me."

Kamui activated, rendering Minato Namikaze immune to his attacks, and he continued to control Kurama.

The Nine-Tails' claws reappeared on Kushina's body, and were even faster than before. The Nine-Tails seemed to have become even more powerful after its rampage.

Yi Shuihan smiled and mobilized his mental power to instantly sever Obito Uchiha's control over the Nine-Tails.

The Sharingan in Kurama's eyes disappeared, and upon realizing its actions, it quickly retreated. Meanwhile, outside, Obito Uchiha covered his eyes, and blood could be seen flowing from them.

"How is this possible? I've actually been attacked by the backlash. This won't do. It seems I won't be able to complete the mission today. If this continues, I might even perish here. We have to retreat."

Forcedly unleashing Kamui, Obito Uchiha's body was enveloped in ripples, as if he were being sucked into a hole in the void.

"Did he run away? Speaking of which, who exactly is he? The guy who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Chapter 367, Resealing the Nine-Tailed Fox

Originally, it would have been quite easy for Yi Shuihan to keep Uchiha Obito, but he didn't have that idea. Even without Uchiha Obito, that troublemaker, Black Zetsu would just find someone else to wreak havoc on the ninja world.

Unless Yi Shuihan kills Black Zetsu directly, it makes no difference whether he kills Uchiha Obito or not, which is why he let him go.

Moreover, speaking of which, Obito Uchiha, that chuunibyou (delusional) teenager, was also a victim! Rin Nohara is still alive, and we don't know how he was corrupted by evil.

"Kushina, Kushina, how are you?"

Compared to Obito Uchiha, Minato Namikaze is more concerned about his wife right now. Even though the Nine-Tails is still inside Kushina, she has just given birth, and with all the recent turmoil, Kushina's condition doesn't look good.

"Minato, what happened?"

The Third Hokage and his companions arrived late, relieved to find no enemy, but also noticing something amiss with Kushina Uzumaki.

“A masked man appeared earlier, wanting to break the seal and release the Nine-Tails,” Minato Namikaze said, glancing at Yi Shuihan. “For some reason, the seal was broken. Fortunately, Brother Yi was there, so the Nine-Tails didn’t appear, and the masked man escaped.”

"Why not leave the invaders here? With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult."

"He possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and is proficient in an unknown space-time ninjutsu."

Upon hearing the Sharingan, everyone fell silent, instinctively glancing at the Uchiha newcomer with suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes.

"It couldn't possibly be one of ours. Someone must have stolen our clan's eyes." Uchiha Fugaku's face was gloomy, and his heart was far from calm. Even within their clan, the Mangekyou Sharingan was the most powerful ability, a trump card, and even he was still a little short of being able to awaken it.

If such eyes were to actually appear, the first person to recognize them would undoubtedly be Uchiha Fugaku. However, he has absolutely no recollection of them, which greatly annoys Uchiha Fugaku.

Of course, besides that, there was also that deeply hidden desire, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, that eye power capable of controlling tailed beasts, which was extremely attractive to Uchiha Fugaku.

"That sounds nice, but everyone knows that the Sharingan can only unleash its full power when used by its owner."

As the head of the Hyuga clan, which is opposed to the Uchiha clan, Hiashi Hyuga spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone, but what he said was not wrong.

Even if the Sharingan is transplanted, its power will ultimately be inferior to that of the original Sharingan owner. Moreover, the Mangekyou Sharingan is extremely precious, so it is a big question that it could be so easily spread.

Uchiha Fugaku could only remain silent, glaring dangerously at Hyuga Hiashi, but the other man was not afraid of him and glared back at him.

"I believe what Fuchiku said, it shouldn't have been done inside the village." It was the third-generation old man who finally spoke up to smooth things over.

There are two reasons why they would speak up for the Uchiha clan. First, they do not want to see a civil war break out. Second, the Uchiha clan has long been under close surveillance by the Anbu and Root. Their every move is under control, and they know very well whether this masked man is one of their people.

"The most important thing now is to reseal it and save Kushina's life."

"I can help with the sealing."

Yi Shuihan suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. No one doubted that Yi Shuihan would lie; since he spoke, he must be confident.

"Minato, you decide this matter." The Third Hokage relinquished the decision-making power to Minato Namikaze. Although he was the Third Hokage, the one in power now was Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina Uzumaki was his wife, so it was most appropriate for Minato Namikaze to make the decision.

"Hurry up and agree to it!"

Ye Gucheng nudged Minato Namikaze with his elbow, thinking that Minato was blaming Yi Shuihan for breaking the seal.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Yi." Minato Namikaze was quite magnanimous and didn't actually blame Yi Shuihan at all. After all, everything Yi Shuihan did afterward proved that he just wanted to see the masked man make a fool of himself.

The reason for his hesitation was that he had a strange idea: to seal the Nine-Tails into his newborn son, Naruto.

After thinking it over, he realized that others would not agree to his actions. Even as the Hokage, he couldn't make the decision about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki alone. Besides, losing the Nine-Tails would eventually have some impact on Kushina Uzumaki, so he gave up on the idea.

"Leave it to me, don't worry. Give me half a minute to prepare."

After Yi Shuihan finished speaking, he took out a book and began to flip through it.

"Found it, this is it!"

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Yi Shuihan quickly skimmed through the sealing technique he desired.

That book was the basic ninjutsu encyclopedia that the Sage of Six Paths had given him. It was originally entrusted to Tsunade for safekeeping, but Tsunade later found it troublesome and entrusted it to Yi Shuihan. She could ask Yi Shuihan for it whenever she wanted.

"boom"

In just over ten seconds, Yi Shuihan closed the book and put it into his personal space. This action made everyone pay more attention to Yi Shuihan.

"Seal of Yin and Yang"

With a shout, a yin-yang symbol suddenly appeared above Kushina Uzumaki, its black and white light making the entire room appear alluring.

Kushina Uzumaki floated slowly, and after about 1 meter in the air, the Yin-Yang symbol above her began to fall and shrink, eventually merging completely into Kushina Uzumaki's body.

With the seal complete, Kushina Uzumaki was still unconscious, but anyone could feel the rapidly recovering life force within her body.

He can read a sealing technique in ten seconds, and then in another ten seconds he can modify it and use spiritual energy to execute it. No one would believe it if he told them.

Techniques that can seal tailed beasts are at least forbidden techniques, and those that can seal the most powerful tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, are forbidden techniques among forbidden techniques.

"Okay, that's fine. When Kushina wakes up, have him come to me. I'll tell her how to break the seal. I'll be going now."

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan walked out, leaving behind a group of people who hadn't yet come to their senses.

This is the Nine-Tails seal! It ended so easily, it feels incredibly unreal. You know, sealing things usually takes a long time.

Chapter 368, Orochimaru Wants to Copy Dragon Blood

The Nine-Tails' rampage ended abruptly due to Yi Shuihan's interference. The Nine-Tails couldn't even leave Kushina's body, let alone cause a major disturbance in Konoha.

"Orochimaru, what are you doing following me?"

In an open space not far from the hot spring, Yi Shuihan looked at Orochimaru, who had no expression in front of him, and asked in confusion.

Orochimaru was a rogue ninja at this time. He had been conducting human experiments in his pursuit of immortality and had been discovered.

Of course, there were many people who knew about Orochimaru's human experiments. Given his status, even if they found out, he would be treated leniently as long as he admitted his mistake, and he wouldn't have to defect.

After all, most of the people he experimented on were provided by Danzo. The Third Hokage could tolerate Danzo's many dark deeds, let alone Orochimaru, who was the Third Hokage's personal disciple.

The main reason wasn't that Orochimaru was conducting human experiments, but rather that Danzo had leverage over him. If Orochimaru had become Hokage, Danzo might have seized real power in Konoha. That's why the Third Hokage chose Minato Namikaze.

If Danzo really gains power, will he be able to live a good life after the third generation?

People leave and things cool down; even three generations have to think about themselves.

As for public opinion, Minato Namikaze is a kind and gentle person, and has a better foundation among the people than the indifferent Orochimaru. This is just a minor detail and doesn't play a significant role. For the upper echelons, it's not a big problem at all.

"Han Jun, I want to make a deal with you."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you right now? The bounty for an S-rank rogue ninja is quite substantial."

Yi Shuihan's words caused Orochimaru's snake eyes to narrow. Even though he could come up with hundreds of different escape techniques, he felt a lot of pressure when facing Yi Shuihan.

The more one understands Yi Shuihan, the more pressure one feels when facing him. Orochimaru happens to be one of those who understands Yi Shuihan quite well. He has had many dealings with Yi Shuihan in the past, because of his lightning release ninjutsu and the magical hot springs.

Yi Shuihan always managed to produce something that Orochimaru found interesting. This wasn't the first or second time that Orochimaru and Yi Shuihan had made a deal, with both sides obtaining what they wanted.

Orochimaru, this scientist, is indeed very skilled in research. Many things that Yi Shuihan only speculated about, he put into research and actually produced some good results.

"Are you kidding me! Tell me, what do you want?"

It was just a joke, Yi Shuihan didn't care whether Orochimaru was a rogue ninja or not, it had nothing to do with him.

“This kind of joke isn’t funny,” Orochimaru’s magnetic voice rang out. “I need some dragon blood for my research. In exchange, I’ll give you a share of my research findings.”

"Dragon blood? Where did you hear about this? I don't remember telling anyone I have it." Slightly surprised, Yi Shuihan was genuinely curious. After all, he had only put a little dragon blood in the hot spring and had never told anyone else.

"Is it really dragon blood?" Orochimaru asked in shock.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan understood perfectly well that Orochimaru was only being deceitful and hadn't been certain of the truth.

"I only took some hot spring water with me. I originally wanted to study its composition, but I accidentally discovered that it contained a special kind of blood. I wanted to replicate the unknown blood, but I never succeeded. I accidentally discovered that the blood could make snakes evolve, so I guessed that the blood belonged to the dragon, the evolved form of snakes. In other words, it was dragon blood."

Orochimaru wouldn't have explained so much to anyone else, but Yi Shuihan was an exception.

"So what do you want the dragon's blood for?"

"The dragon blood content in the hot spring is too low. If I could get a large amount of dragon blood, I could completely analyze its components and make dragon blood."

Orochimaru spoke with a fanatical expression. The reason he wanted to create dragon blood was because his experimental data showed that a large amount of dragon blood could extend a person's lifespan, which was extremely attractive to him, who was obsessed with immortality.

"Damn it, did they pick up the wrong script?! Shouldn't he be researching reincarnation techniques? How did it turn into copying dragon blood?"

Yi Shuihan looked completely bewildered, feeling that he had utterly ruined the ninja world.

"With just a little bit, a ton, no, a hundred kilograms, I can figure out how to replicate dragon blood."
