Chapter 127 July 10th, Achieving Success
October 10, Konoha 42.
This day was just an ordinary day for the ninja world.
Even in the major ninja villages, it would only be during the Chunin Exams.
The first written exam of the Chunin Exams held in Konoha has concluded, and the second exam, wilderness survival, is currently underway.
Aside from meeting with Team 2 during the first exam to encourage them, Gojo Yoru didn't pay any more attention to the Chunin Exams.
Aside from Yahiko and the other two overpowered individuals, the only opponents for Class 2 are the other geniuses who also graduated from the elite class—all of whom are on their own.
In a wilderness survival scenario where a death consent form is required, Hiruzen Sarutobi would naturally take care of his son in his own way, without needing Yoru Gojo to lift a finger.
Rin Nohara was the object of Obito Uchiha's secret love, and Madara Uchiha would definitely not allow Yahiko to kill her.
Furthermore, the second squad also possesses Gojo Yoru's Flying Thunder God Kunai, meaning that if the Anbu arrives with an emergency, Gojo Yoru can instantly appear beside them.
For the safety of Konan and Nagato, Yahiko, who was only a wooden clone, would absolutely not dare to act recklessly.
Normally, Gojo Yoru would be somewhat interested in this childish game, wanting to see how the butterfly effect he caused would affect geniuses like Hatake Kakashi, and how much their strength would differ from the original story.
But now, Gojo Yoru has absolutely no interest in it.
Because... he has more important things to do.
The Five Houses.
Since moving into the mansion of the Great Pillar and starting to live with Tsunade, and winning over this Tsunade-hime until she was bankrupt, Gojo Yoru has rarely returned here.
Every time I come back, I just clean the house; I haven't stayed overnight at home for several years.
This three-story detached house, with a small yard, hasn't had its lights on at night for many years.
But today, the lights on the second floor of this building were already on before dusk.
As night falls, the lights inside constantly switch between normal and neon lights.
Standing outside the door, Kushina Uzumaki looked up at the changing lights above, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Today is Kushina Uzumaki's birthday.
Every year at this time, Gojo Yoru would prepare a special birthday party for her.
On Gojo Yoru's birthday, Uzumaki Kushina also did the same.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the two seemed to adhere to a tacit understanding: on their birthdays, each of them would be the only guest.
Whether it was Kushina Uzumaki's birthday or Yoru Gojo's birthday, they spent it alone together.
Despite having gone through this many times before, Kushina Uzumaki still eagerly awaited this day.
Moreover, this year is a very special year, and the expectations for Kushina Uzumaki far exceed those of previous years.
She walked into the yard, took out the key she always carried with her, opened the door to Gojo's house, changed her shoes in the entryway, and quietly walked up to the second floor.
As soon as Kushina Uzumaki stepped into the living room from the hallway, she saw that the living room was decorated in a warm family style, with warm-toned lighting and small string lights flashing neon colors on the walls and ceiling, along with elements such as balloons, ribbons and banners.
On the wall, there is also a backdrop made up of photos, all of which are selfies of Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina over the years, recording scenes from childhood to adulthood.
In the center of the living room, there was a huge round table with an eight-tiered cake on it.
Each floor is not large, but it is filled with the heartfelt wishes of the five nights.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen into the living room.
As if hearing Kushina Uzumaki's footsteps, Yoru Gojo, wearing a white apron and holding a spatula, leaned out and smiled at Kushina, saying, "Happy birthday! There are still two dishes to go. Please have a seat."
"Hehe, I'll help you."
Kushina Uzumaki walked into the kitchen with a smile.
There were no surprises or ceremonies, just warm conversations and interactions like family.
They've long since passed the stage where they need surprises.
With Kushina's help, the last two dishes were quickly prepared.
A meal of five dishes and a soup, a truly sumptuous meal for the two of them, was presented on the table.
"Cheers!"
Since they were both under twenty years old and not particularly fond of alcohol, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina simply clinked glasses while holding their juice.
Then the two ate and chatted. Even though they had grown up together and had been inseparable over the years, whether on missions or at home, Kushina Uzumaki still had endless topics to talk about.
The same applies to Gojo Yoru.
While Gojo was instructing Jonin, Kushina Uzumaki was not idle either.
Back in February, with the help of Gojo Yoru's spacetime spirit, she had already successfully cultivated the Kagura Mind's Eye, a version that allows her to perceive good and evil.
But Kushina Uzumaki still didn't stop training.
Having signed a contract with Shikkotsu Forest several years ago, she has been frequently traveling between Shikkotsu Forest and Konoha, and has begun training in Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode.
In fact, Kushina Uzumaki had already qualified to practice Sage Mode many years ago.
After all, Jiraiya, a ninja with such massive chakra, had already begun training in Sage Mode before he was even fifteen years old. Kushina Uzumaki, whose chakra was even more exaggerated than his, qualified to train in Sage Mode even earlier.
However, besides requiring a massive amount of chakra, Sage Mode also has various other conditions. In addition, the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave is different from that of Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest. It requires being bitten by the White Snake Sage, and failure to train it will result in death. This is why Yoru Uzumaki has been delaying having Kushina Uzumaki sign a blood pact with Ryuchi Cave. He plans to wait until his strength becomes unbeatable before taking Kushina Uzumaki to Ryuchi Cave to find the White Snake Sage.
Before the five nights could even begin their operation, Tsunade proactively took Kushina Uzumaki as her apprentice and had her sign a blood pact with Shikkotsu-rin.
Compared to Ryuchi Cave and the White Snake Sage, Gojo Yoru felt that Shikkotsu Forest was more suitable for Kushina Uzumaki. The gentle and sensible slug sage would definitely help her master the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest, just like the two toad sages of Mount Myōboku did for Naruto Uzumaki.
The moment Kushina Uzumaki achieves Sage Mode will be the moment of her spiritual advancement, officially transforming her from a Five Kage-level powerhouse into a Super Kage-level powerhouse.
Once Kushina Uzumaki mastered Sage Mode, she could develop the Rasengan, a sword that could be thrown. As a master of sealing in the ninja world, Kushina Uzumaki's chakra control was sufficient to develop the Rasengan even without learning Sage Mode. Her mastery of Wind Release nature transformation and form transformation also fully met the requirements.
It's just that Gojo Yoru has always forbidden her from developing it.
Gojo Yoru was well aware that the incomplete version of the Rasenshuriken had the side effect of killing his own cells.
Chakra, on the other hand, comes from the 130 trillion cells in the human body.
This side effect is killing your own potential.
Gojo Yoru didn't consider that physical healing might be able to cure the injury, nor did she want to gamble on that possibility.
Therefore, under Gojo Yoru's suppression, Kushina Uzumaki has not yet mastered the Rasenshuriken.
That's why she didn't formally challenge Nine-Lama alone.
Once Kushina Uzumaki masters the true Wind Release: Rasengan and upgrades it to Sage Art: Wind Release: Super Giant Rasengan, combined with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, the Senju clan's monstrous strength, and the natural power of Sage Mode, she will surely be able to defeat Kurama without any resistance.
Once Kurama is defeated, Kushina Uzumaki can actively steal its chakra and activate the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
In the original manga, Naruto Uzumaki only needed to activate half of the Nine-Tails' chakra mode to create shadow clones to support all battlefields. Moreover, each shadow clone was in Nine-Tails chakra mode, capable of using more than one Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, and had enough chakra to enter Sage Mode.
Kushina Uzumaki as the complete Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be twice the size of Naruto Uzumaki.
At that time, the chakra that Kushina Uzumaki will be able to control will be truly vast as the sea.
No one in the entire ninja world has more chakra than her.
Let alone Nagato, who awakened the bloodlines of both the Uzumaki and Senju clans at the same time, even Tobi, the leader of the White Zetsu army, who could unleash super-Kage-level power by possessing a trashy Wood Release experimental subject, and even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, couldn't compare to half of Kushina Uzumaki's chakra.
She will be the number one numerical monster in the ninja world.
Aside from Nagato, who could absorb ninjutsu, anyone facing Kushina Uzumaki would feel despair.
She doesn't need to gather any intelligence or devise any tactics.
Kushina Uzumaki only needs to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create tens of thousands of shadow clones covered in Nine-Tails chakra, each with its own defensive and offensive buffs. Then, each of these shadow clones wields a Wind Release: Rasengan or a Wind Release: Super Giant Rasengan, and they bombard the enemy with it.
Unless the opponent can fly or instantly burrow into the deepest part of the earth, even if he burrows underground, he will be blasted to death by the energy storms unleashed by the spiraling shuriken.
This is the principle of overcoming all obstacles with sheer force.
If her chakra control reached an incredible level, Kushina Uzumaki could even control the vast Nine-Tails chakra, like the Uchiha clan's Complete Susanoo, to condense it into the form of Kurama and unleash a complete tailed beast transformation under her own control.
Even without using the Tailed Beast Ball, one can still pilot a Gundam, or even condense a super-sized Rasengan at the level of a Tailed Beast Ball, whose power is definitely no weaker than that of the Tailed Beast Ball.
The key to obtaining these powers is Sage Mode.
Gojo Yoru did not tell Uzumaki Kushina the importance of Sage Mode.
I simply listened quietly to her cultivation process.
Unlike Jiraiya, who had no bloodline and no talent for Sage Mode training and needed the assistance of the two Toad Sages to improve his endurance, he was different.
Kushina Uzumaki mastered Sage Mode in just three months.
The reason for continuing to Shikkotsu Forest is to use the rich natural energy of Shikkotsu Forest to improve the proficiency of Sage Mode, make the battery life longer, be able to sense natural energy faster, or even enter Sage Mode instantly.
For members of the Uzumaki and Senju clans, achieving Sage Mode is merely the beginning.
Moreover, Shikkotsu Forest is not only suitable for training Sage Mode, but also for training Sage Techniques and Ninjutsu.
Training an S-rank technique in Konoha would cause too much of a commotion and risk leaking information; it's much better to train in Shikkotsu Forest.
In that sacred place, only the Slug Immortal can consult this immortal who has lived for thousands of years.
After hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Yoru Gojo knew that Kushina Uzumaki was only one step away from becoming a Kage-level powerhouse.
Moreover, this step can be taken at any time.
Coincidentally, the same is true for Gojo Yoru.
There's only one month left before he undergoes his third evolution.
Even if Madara Uchiha has two super-Kage level powerhouses, Nagato and Tobi-style Yahiko, as well as an army of Edo Tensei resurrected warriors whose strength is almost identical to their former selves, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina will not be put on the defensive when they both advance to higher levels.
After dinner, Gojo Yoru began washing the dishes.
Kushina Uzumaki didn't help this time; instead, she quietly went downstairs to do something.
If members of the Hyuga clan outside were to activate their Byakugan and look at the Gojo family, or use their eavesdropping or olfactory senses, they would find that the Hyuga clan members cannot see, hear, or smell anything at all.
Similarly, the sounds inside will not reach the outside world.
Because in the basement of the Gojo family, a device has been installed that can release an invisible barrier, like one that envelops Konoha, blocking all senses.
Such perception can be broken, but it will definitely be discovered.
At that point, it won't be as simple as just being offended.
Such a perception barrier is exclusive to ninja clans, and only major ninja clans possess it.
Because creating and maintaining such a barrier is extremely expensive.
When Kushina Uzumaki returned to the second floor from the basement, all the lights in the living room were off, with only the candles on the cake flickering.
Just then, Gojo Yoru drew the curtains on the balcony, turned around and walked towards Uzumaki Kushina, who was standing in the candlelight. He wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, lowered his head and touched forehead to forehead, and chuckled as he wished her a happy birthday.
"Thanks."
Kushina Uzumaki smiled beautifully, wrapped her arms around Gojo Yoru's neck, and then stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
Gojo responded to the passion of Chili Pepper.
The two did not separate until the candle was almost burned out.
The front hug turned into a back hug. Gojo Yoru breathed into Kushina Uzumaki's ear and chuckled, "Hurry up and make a wish."
"Uh-huh.
""
Kushina Uzumaki nodded repeatedly, then clasped her hands together in a prayer gesture.
A few seconds later, the girl with amazing lung capacity blew out all eighteen candles placed on different levels in one breath.
The living room was instantly plunged into darkness, only to be illuminated again by warm lights and neon-colored string lights the next second.
"You foul-mouthed night, where's my gift?"
Seeing Gojo Yoru return with the lights on, Kushina Uzumaki, with an expression like a gorilla reaching out its hand, spoke to Gojo Yoru with righteous indignation.
"I've already prepared the gift for you."
Gojo Yoru had one arm around Kushina Uzumaki's shoulder, while reaching into his pocket with the other.
But the next second, he suddenly changed his tactics, grabbed a piece of cake, and slammed it hard onto Kushina Uzumaki's face.
"Surprise, Tomato Girl!" Gojo Yoru laughed heartily. "The birthday boy eats first, hahaha..."
'
"You foul-mouthed Ye, you actually broke the rules! I'm going to smash you to death!"
Kushina Uzumaki broke down and screamed, but she still took a bite of the cake before grabbing it and throwing it at Yoru Gojo.
There are two cake battles every year, which quickly unfold in the living room of the Gojo family, and the scale gets bigger and bigger each year.
The cozy living room was quickly turned into a mess.
Both Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina were covered in cake and cream.
Looking at each other, both of them were covered in dirt, and their gazes softened. They then embraced again, forehead to forehead.
"I've already opened the barrier," Kushina Uzumaki said, her cheeks flushed and her breath hot.
Gojou Yoru asked with a mischievous grin, "So, Tomato Nai, what do you want to do to me, hmm?"
"Bad guy."
Kushina Uzumaki rolled her eyes at Yoru Gojo, then took the initiative to attack.
The warm lights had been turned off at some point, leaving only the neon-colored string lights, still flashing their colorful lights.
The dimly lit and messy living room was not only covered with cakes and cream, but also scattered with clothes.
The warm atmosphere has somehow been replaced by a hot and restless element.
The girl's voice singing about geese was blocked by the barrier.
The boy and girl who had known each other since childhood finally got married after a long period of companionship.
