Chapter Forty-Five: Hokage—Yin-Yang Nine-Tails and Two-Tailed Shukaku
The Nine-Tails, subdued by multiple Uzumaki clan members using the Adamantine Sealing Chains and the original jinchūriki Uzumaki Mito, was split into two.
Seizing the opportunity, Huang Ke Yin and a Shadow Clone simultaneously moved.
“Seal!”
The next moment, the two masses of Nine-Tails chakra, separated into Yin and Yang halves, were sealed into Kushina and Minato.
Of course, according to the future plot, Kushina would be sealed with the Yin Nine-Tails chakra by Huang Ke Yin, while Minato, future protagonist Naruto’s father, would be sealed with the Yang Nine-Tails.
Seeing everything proceed smoothly, Uzumaki Mito finally smiled as she left.
On the other side, the Uzumaki clan members, now stripped of everything and yearning for death, smiled at Huang Ke Yin.
“Young Clan Chief, thank you! Although I have nothing left, it's not your fault. You saved our Uzumaki clan. You are our… ”
Before they could finish their words, the Shinigami took their souls away.
Thus, thanks to Huang Ke Yin's clever maneuver, Konoha gained two Nine-Tails jinchūriki.
And the future protagonist Naruto still possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.
If Huang Ke Yin hadn't intervened, Naruto would still have been the jinchūriki of the Yang Nine-Tails.
In addition to this, Huang Ke Yin also mobilized the entire clan to develop a special sealing technique.
This seal wasn't meant for sealing others, but for their own use.
The characteristic of this seal was that it could be activated passively or actively upon the user's death or capture.
Upon activation, it held a portion of the Four Symbols Sealing power.
After sealing everything in the vicinity, the chakra within the user's body would explode under the influence of the seal.
Essentially, it meant death with no remains.
Of course, with continuous improvements, the seal no longer had any impact on the clan's daily lives, activities, or combat.
Therefore, even in future battlefields, the enemy generally avoided confrontation with the Uzumaki clan.
After all, if they couldn't instantly kill them, even if they managed to cripple them, the Uzumaki still had the capability to take them down in a suicide attack.
As for why they did this, besides protecting the clan, it was, of course, to prevent Danzo, that pesky troublemaker.
In the original story, Danzo, that repulsive fellow, conducted numerous human experiments.
To say nothing of the future Senju clan, it was essentially a genocide!
Besides Tsunade, how many true members of the Senju clan remained in the entire ninja world?
Several years after the successful transfer of the Nine-Tails, and ten years before the Second Shinobi World War, the Third Shinobi World War erupted!
Upon the outbreak of war, Huang Ke Yin headed to the battlefield of the Cloud Village with a purpose.
After some twists and turns, Huang Ke Yin became the jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, and returned with a young child, who had already become the Two-Tails candidate jinchūriki, named Yuuki.
Facing the interrogation of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the grown-up Huang Ke Yin certainly wasn't afraid of him and was ready to retort.
However, in the next moment, he arrived in the Shared Space.
Upon arrival, he gained even greater power!
“Hahaha! I’m outta here! Watch me roast that old fart Third Hokage!”
The Hokage Huang Ke Yin, after sharing power and a portion of memories, immediately left the Shared Space.
The remaining Huang Ke Yin looked at each other and subsequently departed from the Shared Space.
“What were you thinking? The Two-Tails is a tailed beast belonging to the Cloud Village! The Cloud Village has issued an ultimatum! They demand you hand over the Two-Tails!”
From the Hokage’s seat, Sarutobi Hiruzen, showing signs of aging, looked at Huang Ke Yin with fury.
Huang Ke Yin responded with a look of disdain towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
“Heh, they're still angry? I’m not even mad yet! What are they angry for?”
Huang Ke Yin slammed his hand onto Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
“When they abducted our people from the Uzumaki clan, why didn't you go question them!”
“Did you think I was easy to bully!”
“Besides, the Two-Tails originally belonged to our Konoha Village! It was just that the First Hokage, for the sake of peace, sold it to them!”
“Now, they've broken the peace agreement with the First Hokage. So what if I reclaim the Two-Tails for Konoha!”
“You!”
“Shut up! I'm not finished yet!”
“Tell them! If they don’t surrender, I’ll go dismantle their Cloud Village!”
“I said it! No one's opinion matters!”
“Tsk! The Second Hokage was blind. He picked you, a complete idiot, to be the Third Hokage!”
In the next moment, Huang Ke Yin vanished from his spot.
Seeing Huang Ke Yin suddenly disappear, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about to lose his temper, momentarily calmed down.
Without a word, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately summoned the Anbu.
Soon, the answers he sought were laid out on his desk.
Lighting a cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the report concerning Uzumaki Ichi (Huang Ke Yin's name in the Uzumaki clan) who appeared suddenly at Ichiraku Ramen.
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen was aware of something.
That besides Minato Namikaze, another person capable of using the Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu, had emerged!
Moreover, based on the Anbu's investigation, besides Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God seal at Ichiraku Ramen, there was no trace of any other person's seal!
In other words, Uzumaki Ichi could now perform space-time jumps without the Flying Thunder God seal.
Of course, this wasn't the Flying Thunder God, but the teleportation ability of the Pokémon world.
After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and reminisced about the scene of the Nine-Tails being re-sealed.
He watched the terrifying Nine-Tails split into two and sealed within two Uzumaki clan members.
Although he used his Hokage authority to gain one Uzumaki clan member, another Nine-Tails jinchūriki remained within the Uzumaki clan.
Now, Konoha Village had Hatake Sakumo, who had already established himself and gained fame (Kakashi's father, nicknamed the White Fang of Konoha), his three grown disciples, and two Nine-Tails jinchūriki, along with a Two-Tails jinchūriki.
After mulling over it for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly ordered the Cloud Village messengers to leave and informed them of Huang Ke Yin’s exact words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered as he contemplated something.
After devouring a bowl of young, legendary "Otsutsuki Ichiraku," now called "Hand-Made Ramen," Huang Ke Yin leisurely strolled through Konoha Village.
Since the war had only begun recently, the battle hadn't escalated too much yet.
“Go for it!”
“The sweat of youth will not be wasted!”
“You can do it! Gai!”
Soon, two figures, one big and one small, clad in green tight-fitting clothes, caught up to Huang Ke Yin while running, shouting words of encouragement.
“Huff… huff… Y-Yes! Huff… Dad…”
The smaller figure, alongside the bigger one, panted out a response.
“Yo! Dai, training with your son?”
Seeing Might Dai, Huang Ke Yin took the initiative to greet him.
“It's Uzumaki-sama! Greetings, sir!”
“Greetings, sir!”
