Chapter 217

Rain Country.

A region bordering the Land of the Earth.

During the fall of the Rain Country and the taking of it under the control of Konoha, Oonoki did not hesitate and introduced troops into it, firmly occupying a quarter of the country's territory.

Oonoki's goal was to benefit from the Rain Country, and Konoha's goal was to stabilize it, but for a while there were no conflicts between them.

However.

Eventually, after about four months, when the situation in the Rain Country had completely stabilized, it was time for a clash between Willow and Konoha.

Not wanting to start a war in the Rain Country, Willow and Konoha entered into negotiations.

Konoha demanded that Willow completely withdraw the troops from the Land of Rain and compensate for all the damage caused to the country during this time.

Oonoki, of course, could not do such a thing.

The negotiations have reached an impasse.

Hokage's office.

"So, the bottom line of Oonoki is the withdrawal of troops from the Land of Rain, and assistance to Konoha in taking control of the liberated territory as soon as possible? At the same time, they demand a fee of two billion Re, for the "protection" of this territory for us in the past four months?»

Yeruashi smiled as he listened to the results of the negotiations.

From this smile, a cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Shinobi who was transmitting information about the progress of the negotiations in the Land of Rain: "Lord Hokage, the Third Tsuchikage Oonoki personally sat at the negotiating table, this put a lot of pressure on our side...»

"Okay, I get it.»

Yeruashi nodded, " Go and tell them that the negotiations are postponed for three days.»

"There is.»

Shinobi accepted the order and left the Hokage's office.

Yeruashi turned his head to look at Kakashi, who was standing nearby, and said, " Kakashi, the Hiraishin seal must be moved to a new meeting place.»

"Got it.»

Kakashi nodded and immediately began to perform.

Information about the Hiraishin seals is under the strict control of the Yeruashi, because it is extremely important, because once the enemy manages to get information about the time and place of his movement, it can become a huge threat to Konoha.

Therefore, the question of where and how to use Hiraishin is decided exclusively by Yeruashi, moreover, he usually does not build any exact plans for earlier, but moves when the desire arises.

Only Kakashi is responsible for moving the seals, in absolute secrecy.

Therefore, whoever tries to get information about whether the Fifth Hokage is going to leave Konoha in the near future, it will be an extremely difficult task, and it is impossible to determine the exact time of departure at all.

After Kakashi's departure, Yeruashi signed several more documents.

Then he leaned back in his chair, raised his left hand in front of him and shook his palm, under the light of the sunset, the white palm radiated a faint golden glow.

"The Sage's body is almost ready...»

Yeruashi whispered softly.

It had been quite a long time since he had mastered the Ideal Sage Mode and started developing the Sage Body, at which point, the natural energy in his body was approaching the saturation point.

This natural energy fused with every cell of Yeruashi's body, infusing him with exuberant vitality and endowing him with abilities similar to Senju Hashirama.

Now, the only difference between Yeruashi and Senju Hashirama was that he wasn't an Asura reincarnation.

From the point of view of the personal chakra, without the support of the Asura chakra, Yeruashi is certainly inferior to Hashirama in terms of volume, but do not forget that he is a Jinchuriki Kyubi, given the fox chakra, in terms of volume, the current Yeruashi even surpasses Hashirama.

If you want to...

He can even mix the Doton and Suiton attribute chakra to try to develop the Improved Mokuton Genome, but it should take some time and won't have a significant effect on his strength, so Yeruashi had no desire to do it.

After fully developing the Body of a Sage, he will reach the absolute peak below the level of the Six Paths in all aspects, except for spiritual power.

Relying on his time-type abilities, he should be able to fully fight a Six-Way level opponent, but that would of course depend on how strong the opponent was at the Six-Way level.

Of course, there are weak and strong representatives of the level of the Six Paths.

According to Yeruashi, Sasuke and Naruto, who each inherited half of the Six Paths Sage's chakra, were at the first stage of the Six Paths level, and Uchiha Madara, who became Jinchuriki Jubi, was at the second stage.

But Kaguya may not have been in the third stage, because looking at Momoshiki's strength, you can safely say that she is stronger than him.

It seems that Kaguya's plan to create the White Zetsu was successful, they really became her army, only not for battle, but for the extraction of chakra.

After absorbing the chakra of the humans and the White Zetsu, Kaguya surpassed Momoshiki in overall strength. Although Momoshiki has an outrageous time-stopping ability, but it is based on the power of Dojutsu, and the control effect of this ability has a clear limit, even Sasuke, who has a Rinnegan, was not completely frozen, let alone Kaguya at the peak.

Therefore.

According to Yeruashi's understanding, Momoshiki's power is at the third stage of the Six Paths level, and Kaguya's power is at the fourth stage.

The third stage of the Six Paths level is a huge obstacle.

Naruto and Sasuke, who had reached the level of the Six Paths, were affected by Momoshiki's time-stopping effect, so Yeruashi, who had not yet reached the level of the Six Paths, would definitely not be able to get rid of the shackle. His encounter with Momoshiki would likely end in instant death, of course, if Momoshiki didn't try to 'talk him to death', but that would only delay the inevitable.

Right now, Yeruashi is not afraid to face the opponent of the first stage of the Six Paths level, in fact, it is difficult to say who will emerge victorious from such a battle.

When faced with the second stage, it is better to just run away.

Although he probably won't die, there will be no hope of winning either.

"It is worth looking at the moon once the Sage's Body is fully completed. If there is no hope of getting Tenseigan, then it remains only to develop the Sharingan step by step.»

Yeruashi whispered thoughtfully.

Now.

Once the Rinnegan or Tenseigan were used to make up for the lack of spiritual power, he would be able to step smoothly and steadily into the level of the Six Paths.

Given the most powerful abilities of the illusory clock, just after reaching the level of the Six Paths, according to the pure combat power, Yeruashi will immediately reach the second stage of the level of the Six Paths.

With him in this world, it won't be easy to resurrect Kaguya.

But Momoshiki and Kinshiki, as well as Urashiki Ootsutsuki, will inevitably arrive in this world, and Yeruashi will have to fight them sooner or later.
