After she left, Kiyoshi went directly to the Hokage Building and requested an audience with the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, instructing the ninjas on guard duty to report to her.

Before long, Kiyoshi received permission to go up.

Inside the office, Tsunade remained composed, with Shizune standing beside her, her expression serious.

"You want to sign a psychic contract for the Shikkotsu Forest?"

Tsunade was slightly taken aback after hearing Kiyoshi's words.

This is truly an unexpected request.

As one of the three holy lands, signing a contract in Shikkotsu Forest is no small matter. It is usually only granted to those who have a deep connection with the Thousand Hands Clan or who have been recognized by the Slug Sage.

Chapter 448 The Appearance of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!

"Yes."

Qingsi nodded.

He didn't specify the research content, but Tsunade could sense the weight in his words.

Tsunade remained silent, weighing the pros and cons.

The man before them possessed unfathomable strength, wielding the lost "Wood" Release technique and various bloodline limits; his very existence was a huge variable.

A forceful refusal could escalate the conflict and bring unpredictable risks to Konoha, which is already rife with undercurrents.

If they agree, they might be able to take this opportunity to observe him further, and even... guide his power in a direction that is beneficial to Konoha to some extent.

This is a venture capital investment.

After a long silence, Tsunade spoke slowly, her voice carrying the decisiveness of the Fifth Hokage:

"I can introduce you to the contract of Shikkotsu Forest, but whether you can gain the approval of the Slug Sage depends on yourself. Moreover, I hope you can remember that the use of power should have its limits."

"I see."

Kiyoshi said.

"Mute, I'll be right back."

Tsunade forms hand seals.

The next moment, she led Kiyoshi to the Wet Bone Forest.

Reverse psychic abilities!

Unlike the ruggedness of Mount Myoboku and the darkness of Ryūchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest is filled with a moist and vibrant atmosphere.

Ancient trees reaching for the sky are entwined with vines, and at night, pale green specks of light float in the air.

However, the moment Kiyoshi stepped into this place, the originally peacefully flowing natural energy seemed to be summoned and instantly became active.

Like a green tide, they surged in from all directions, joyfully and almost like pilgrims, crowding around Qing Si to form a huge, rotating vortex that even emitted a low hum.

The plants throughout the entire Shikuburi Forest swayed without wind, as if submitting to Qing Si.

Such a tremendous commotion naturally alerted the true owner of the Wet Bone Forest.

The ground trembled slightly, and the enormous mountain in front of them slowly began to move, revealing its true form.

It is an enormous, pure white slug fairy with blue stripes.

Her gentle voice rang directly in Kiyoshi and Tsunade's ears, saying:

"Such a pure and powerful affinity with nature... It surpasses not only you, Tsunade, but also your grandfather, Hashirama Senju."

The Slug Immortal stared at Kiyoshi in disbelief.

Nothing so outrageous has ever happened in thousands of years.

Hearing the Slug Sage's words, Tsunade was also extremely surprised.

As Kiyoshi faced this being that had lived for thousands of years, he pondered that the "Limited Tsukuyomi" mirror image hadn't changed the Slug Sage too much.

He said:

"I hope to sign a contract with Shikkut Forest and request permission to channel a portion of the natural energy of this place for an important research project. I will use it sparingly and will never harm the very essence of this place."

The slug sage was silent for a moment, then finally, the gentle voice rang out again:

"Your nature... is quite peculiar. I can grant you a contract. As for natural energy... since it is so close to you, as long as it does not violate the balance and is used in moderation as you have said, I will grant your request."

In the Slug Sage's perception, she could detect that Kiyoshi's enormous chakra reserves even surpassed those of the Tailed Beasts.

What good would it do for her to stop such a terrifying guy?

It would be better to satisfy Qing Si, which would also create a positive connection.

A slug the size of a human head split off from her enormous body and quickly crawled into the distance.

Not long after, the slug appeared with a huge scroll in its mouth.

After Kiyoshi took it, he opened it and saw that there were already strings of names on it.

He bit his index finger and wrote his name in his own blood.

In a way, Kiyoshi had a premonition that he could try to summon the spirit beasts of the Wet Bone Forest again.

Kiyoshi immediately began to try it.

A flash of red light appeared, and kaleidoscope patterns appeared in his eyes.

As it slowly rotated, Kiyoshi used his immense pupil power to construct a spatial portal.

"This is... a space-time ninjutsu!"

Tsunade, who was standing to the side, narrowed her eyes, not expecting Kiyoshi to have such abilities.

Natural energy, like a gentle stream, flowed continuously into the spatial portal under Qing Si's guidance.

"No, there are no coordinates on my other side."

Kiyoshi frowned.

The coordinates he left inside Death's belly are no longer valid.

Now, that natural energy simply passes through the black, rotating spatial gate and enters the void.

"The amount of chakra... is far from enough."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

The distance between the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world and the real world is much farther than Kiyoshi imagined.

It's like a universe.

There are many different alternate dimensions in a universe, and it is easy to enter and exit these alternate dimensions within the same universe.

However, if they are not in the same universe, the previous alternate dimension will become invalid.

Kiyoshi must break down the barriers between the two universes in order to reuse the coordinates of the other universe.

However, this would inevitably require chakra, and a lot of chakra at that.

Just as Obito in the original story used the chakra of seven tailed beasts to accomplish all this, Kiyoshi would need even more tailed beasts to do the same.

Because this world ultimately carries the connotation of imitation and mirroring, or rather, the entire world is a counterfeit, it naturally cannot compare to the real world.

Regardless, the combined chakra of all the tailed beasts here should be enough to satisfy Kiyoshi's needs.

…………

The land of thunder.

Several people are in a standoff.

On one side are the Fourth Raikage, Yotsuki Seiji, Obito, Black Zetsu, and White Zetsu.

'Yotsuki Seiji's' black hair flew wildly in the wind, and his body was wrapped in fine, violent blue arcs of electricity, which crackled and hissed.

He had just captured the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Seven-Tailed, and Eight-Tailed beasts with swift and decisive action. Combined with the Nine-Tailed beast that he already controlled, he now had a total of five tailed beasts under his control, which gave him unprecedented confidence.

On the other side is Hashirama Senju, a figure who should only exist in history and legend.

At this moment, his face was full of wrinkles, and his complexion was abnormally pale. He had one eye closed.

He captured the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Six-Tails.

"Yeyue Qingsi..."

The corrupted Hashirama spoke first, his voice hoarse.

"If we cooperate, we will both benefit; if we fight, we will both suffer. Let's release the tailed beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and then bring lasting peace to the world. What do you say?"

Yotsuki Seiji frowned. He could clearly feel the enormous chakra within the other party's body, which was definitely not something an ordinary Kage-level player could possess.

Obito looked at the corrupted Hashirama with some surprise.

This guy actually forcibly poured a large amount of the "Gedo Mazo"'s chakra into himself in order to prolong his life!

While this might allow you to obtain items normally for a period of time, you'll almost certainly die afterward.

"cooperate?"

'Night Moon Seiji' was surrounded by a surge of lightning, and said in an icy tone:

"How can I trust you?"

The corrupted Hashirama seemed to have anticipated this. He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm was a glass container containing an eyeball with a wavy pattern.

That's the "Rinnegan"!

"These are Madara Uchiha's eyes."

The corrupted Hashirama spoke with an air of certainty:

"You should know very well that if you want to fully control the Ten-Tails' incomparably violent power, you need these eyes. Otherwise, even if you forcibly become a Jinchūriki, you will only be devoured by it and turn into a mindless monster."

"is it?"

'Yozuki Kiyoshi' spoke in a detached tone.

Wearing the vortex mask, Obito Uchiha nodded and spoke first:

"He's right. Only the Rinnegan can control the Ten-Tails. Otherwise, the moment you become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, you'll be devoured by it. Only the power of the Rinnegan can suppress it."

Obito's corroboration made Yotsuki Seiji somewhat believe the corrupted Hashirama.

He stared at the "Rinnegan," then glanced at the corrupted Hashirama and Obito, his mind racing as he weighed his options.

Finally, he said:

"……it is good!"

'Yotsuki Seiji' took a deep breath and made a decision.

"However, you will become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki first, but you need to give me the Rinnegan, and I want you to kill Kiyoshi; he comes from another world."

As he spoke, his fingers, hidden in his sleeve, twitched almost imperceptibly. A faint, extremely subtle lightning chakra mark, like an invisible spore, quietly attached itself to the depths of the sealed tailed beast.

This is his backup plan, "Lightning Release: Binding Lightning Seal".

Becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki so foolishly is too risky. 'Yotsuki Seiji' plans to have someone test the waters first.

"another world?"

The corrupted Hashirama never expected such a thing to happen, but the fact that the other party was willing to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki before dealing with the so-called "Kiyoji" shows just how powerful the person they consider an enemy can be.

Right now, I'm just using myself as a vanguard to test things out.

The corrupted Hashirama smiled knowingly, but he didn't reveal it, because in his view, no one else understood how different the Ten-Tails was from the other tailed beasts.

So the corrupted Hashirama simply said:

"no problem."

The corrupted Hashirama tossed the container containing the Rinnegan to Seiji Yozuki.

Then, without hesitation, he opened his left eye, which had been closed the whole time.

All that could be seen in the eye sockets were pale purple, wavy eyeballs, clearly the result of the corrupted Hashirama transplanting another "Rinnegan" from Madara Uchiha.

The corrupted Hashirama formed hand seals and summoned the enormous and ferocious "Gedo Mazo"!

The golem let out a roar that shook the valley, opened its huge mouth, and extended the purple golem lock.
