Chapter 186: Akatsuki's Assault and the Uchiha's Upgrade

Onoki hoped that at this time, when Iwagakure was filled with internal conflicts, fighting a battle against Akatsuki could divert the problems and through this battle demonstrate Iwagakure's power.

However, this needs to be resolved by the new Tsuchikage, however now that he has not even promoted to the position he has become a prisoner of war. Obviously, Roshi will no longer be able to serve as the Tsuchikage.

Onoki can only let Han stop searching for Roshi's whereabouts and return to the village. Onoki intends to let Han lead the war against Akatsuki to restore Iwagakure's prestige.

Han was still gathering information on Akatsuki, trying to find their base camp to attack them and force them to release Roshi, however, the shinobi who were sent to contact him sent urgent news...

Han, the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki, had disappeared!

And there are obvious traces of battle left at the scene.

"They even attacked Han?" Onoki's mouth twitched, his eyes unfocused.

The Iwa-nin are a little confused... The new Tsuchikage who just accepted the position has disappeared, and the new Tsuchikage candidate has disappeared again, so what should Iwagakure do?

What else can they do? Learn from Konoha that he restored the Third Hokage to take care of the village.

So Onoki, who was about to let go of his rights, had to stand up again.

His prestige in the village was already very low, and supporting Roshi drained the last of his prestige.

Furthermore, with the subsequent disappearance of the Tsuchikage candidates, many suspect that Onoki is unwilling to relinquish power, and has especially contacted Akatsuki to attack his own shinobi and suppress dissidents.

Onoki had no way to defend himself since he normally had dealings with Akatsuki, so he publicly announced Akatsuki's actions and designated Akatsuki as Iwagakure's key target.

This damages the village's prestige and makes Iwagakure a laughingstock, but there was nothing he could do.

In an instant, Akatsuki's name resounded throughout the Shinobi World.

Many people thought that Akatsuki had a grudge against Iwagakure, so they were planning to use this to their advantage, and make the conflicts escalate...

On the other hand Tsunade who knew all the information about Akatsuki because of Itachi, knew clearly that this was not a grudge between Akatsuki and Iwagakure. And his target is the Tailed Beasts. She tried to spread rumors about it to hinder Akatsuki's actions, but she doesn't know if it will be effective...

"But I have to take countermeasures, Akatsuki is collecting the tailed beasts, they are definitely up to no good!" Tsunade gritted her teeth, she didn't believe that Natsuo could be defeated by Akatsuki. So, she did not hesitate to take Naruto to the Uchiha clan residence and accepted him as a disciple of the Hokage.

Tsunade lives in the Uchiha clan residence and uses the excuse of her teaching to ask Naruto not to leave the Uchiha clan residence.

While he stays in the Uchiha clan residence, he will naturally be protected by Natsuo...

Naruto is also very happy, because Tsunade not only gave him the title of Hokage's disciple, but also taught him something every day. Even if Tsunade is pregnant, most of the time it is verbal instruction, which is also a good thing.

And Shizune said: "I think this is all Hokage-sama's little trick because he doesn't want to work... Tsunade-sama is pushing all the work to me again!"

The little secretary could only cry...

Natsuo just looked at them with a slight smile, if Tsunade hadn't brought Naruto, he would have brought him anyway. Akatsuki's actions were going to happen sooner or later, and apart from him, the big shinobi villages can't stop Akatsuki's attack...

"Otsutsuki Kaguya, isn't she also a woman?"

...

Information about Akatsuki began to appear throughout the Shinobi World.

Iwagakure madly attacked them, but Nagato and others, who had been psychologically prepared, naturally reduced Akatsuki's power beforehand, leaving them empty-handed.

And during this time.

The research of the Uchiha Research Center finally took a big leap.

Orochimaru is indeed the main scientist of the Shinobi World, and he was able to easily solve the problems that Yakushi Kabuto could not solve for a long time.

Combined with the data from Yakushi Kabuto's research, the research commissioned by Natsuo finally came true.

Based on the White Zetsu captured by Natsuo, it borrows the characteristics of some Senju Hashirama cells and cooperates with Shinno's medical knowledge...

Uchiha Revival No. 2 was successfully created!

Its effect is: Improve Jonin level physical quality by 90% and mental strength by 30%.

The effect of Revival No. 1 previously developed by Yakushi Kabuto and Natsuo is to improve Chunin-level physical fitness by 50% and mental strength by 10%.

The methods of use are similar, and they need to be taken for a long time, and a course of treatment is two years.

"Orochimaru's level of scientific research is better than Yakushi Kabuto's." Natsuo said with emotion. "The effect of Revival No. 2 is significantly better than that of Revival No. 1..."

Thirty percent of a Jonin's mental power is close to a Chunin's total mental power!

The difference between the two potions is enormous... And with Orochimaru's efforts, the effects of Revival No. 1 and Revival No. 2 can overlap.

"Orochimaru, you are truly the strongest scientist in the Shinobi World." Natsuo gave Orochimaru the thumbs up. "Orochimaru I am grateful for your help."

"You flatter me Natsuo-kun." With a smile on his face, Orochimaru said softly: "I also gained many benefits from the deal with the Uchiha clan..."

White Zetsu, a precious material, really stunned Orochimaru. And Uchiha's abundant funds made Orochimaru earn a lot of money.

And there are many by-products in the research. Natsuo's requirement is that it not be harmful in any way, but Orochimaru doesn't care if it is harmful or not.

In other words, in the eyes of ordinary shinobi, even if it is harmful to the body and reduces life expectancy, as long as it can improve their strength, they don't care. In reality, not many shinobi live to old age, many die much earlier.

"Orochimaru, I hope to continue cooperating with you." Natsuo said seriously. "For example, improving Revival No. 1, improving Revival No. 2, reducing costs, increasing assimilation speed, etc."

"The Uchiha clan looks forward to working with you."

"I'm looking forward to it too..." Orochimaru said with his voice hoarse, but a bit of joy could still be heard in his voice.

Now, with the passage of time, the original Revival No. 1 has formed a sufficient supply, and all of Natsuo's wives have begun to take this secret medicine and their strength has also begun to increase.

If it weren't for the fact that after marrying Natsuo, many girls began to be lazy, no longer seeking progress and wasting their growth in strength. Now in the Uchiha clan there should no longer be Chunin-level kunoichi.

On the other hand, the effect of Revival No. 2 is exceptional, far surpassing that of Revival No. 1, and at the same time, the cost is also very expensive. The cost of one month is equivalent to ten times that of Revival No. 1.

In fact, due to the mass production of Revival No. 1 by the Uchiha clan the cost decreased rapidly.

Taking that into account, the actual cost of Revival No. 2 is fifty times that of Revival No. 1...

Obviously, even if Uchiha's property expands and his income increases, he cannot afford such a huge consumption.

For now Natsuo can only manage to use the same method he used when he first developed Revival No. 1, which is to give it to only some of his wives...

On the other hand, based on the deal Natsuo had with Neji, he also has a part of Revival No. 2. After all, the stronger Neji is, the easier it is for him to reform the Hyuga clan.

"Neji, you have to work hard!" Natsuo is full of expectations for this.

Neji nodded and started practicing harder.

Natsuo turned around and headed to his study and called out to his main wives. Soon, pleasant voices sounded in the room.

"Natsuo, I want it!"

"I want it too!"

"Husband~~ Give me the positions, you didn't always want to try..."

"Natsuo, as long as you promise to give me the potions, tonight I will..."

...

Leaving aside the advancement achieved in medicine by Orochimaru. Natsuo's research on resurrection ninjutsu has also made a breakthrough.

Natsuo initially thought that it would be easy to create a container to use the Rinnegan and then have the container sacrifice itself to revive the target and that he would only have to fix the aspect that the person would revive in the state before their death. But then he discovered that it was not so easy to get someone to contain the Rinnegan. So he had to continue researching a way to avoid dying when using resurrection techniques.

And although he has not yet solved that problem, he did make a breakthrough and made a discovery that was involved with the soul.

Natsuo discovered that the essence of the two types of ninjutsu is to use one's soul in exchange for power, it is a kind of equivalent exchange, where a soul can be released from the Pure Land in exchange for one's own soul.

This makes it difficult for Natsuo to do so. After all, he can't really change his life for Mikoto and the others.

"Do I have to wait until Naruto brainwashes Nagato to take advantage of Nagato? But Naruto, who runs to the club every day, can still convince Nagato?" Natsuo touched his chin.

Akatsuki has already started to act, and it is estimated that he will attack Naruto soon.

Naruto hasn't even learned Sage Mode yet, how can he defeat and influence Nagato?

But when it comes to Sage Mode, Natsuo thought of something else...

The Sacred Seal Tag

This is the supreme treasure that belongs to Mount Myoboku. The Sacred Seal Tag contains pure natural energy, which can revive anyone who is close to death once. Sage of Six Paths used the Sacred Seal Tag to revive his younger brother Otsutsuki Hamura.

Although it can only be used on a person who is close to death, does Impure World Reincarnation count as this type of person?

Natsuo thought he could give it a try.

Using the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he gave to Sasuke, Natsuo was able to easily contact Jiraiya.

After adding a few million Ryo to the master-disciple duo to continue visiting the clubs of the world, Jiraiya happily took Natsuo to Mount Myoboku. He took him to see the toads at Mount Myoboku and explored the Sage Arts of Mount Myoboku.

The toads allowed Natsuo to learn from them. Natsuo didn't know if Jiraiya has enough influence or if Natsuo's reputation as the strongest shinobi in the world is enough of a deterrent.

Anyway, nothing happened to Natsuo, and he got what he wanted. Knowledge of the manufacturing method and construction principle of the Sacred Seal Tag created by the Sage Toads over the centuries.

"Sure enough, as I thought, this Sacred Seal Tag also seems to have the effect of repairing the soul..."

"In fact, repairing the soul is only part of the function of the Sacred Seal Tag. Such huge natural energy can achieve an almost omnipotent effect."

"Repair the soul, heal the body, restore physical strength..."

No wonder the Great Sage Toad called this seal tag a treasure that was created by the Sage Toads over the centuries.

"Each Sacred Seal Tag is estimated to be a treasure that many Sage Toads contributed natural energy to and spent a lot of time doing."

Natsuo immediately started researching and learning about this object.

Although in the end he could not solve the problems with the Resurrection Techniques, but thanks to the sealing techniques he was able to develop a seal to store that pure natural energy so that he can access it whenever he wants.

In other words, it is a kind of Strength of a Hundred Seal that allows Natsuo to store a large amount of pure natural energy for an extended period of time in a specific point on another person's body.

Once the seal is released it allows the user to use Senjutsu even if they have not learned Sage Mode...

Natsuo immediately went to his main wives and placed the seal on them like a trump card... Although all his wives and children had the mark of the Flying Thunder God, Akatsuki began to act ahead of time. Who knows if Otsutsuki Isshiki and the Kara organization will also act in advance?

Natsuo decided to start making preparations in advance.

While Natsuo made arrangements in case accidents occurred during this time, he also had his clones strive to solve the resurrection problem as quickly as possible.
