Not far from Konoha Village, there is a huge barrier. Two groups of Anbu ninja guards are outside the barrier, and countless Anbu are hidden around it. All of this is because the nine-tailed Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina, is about to give birth.
"Ah! Ah! It hurts! Ah~! Bo Feng Shuimen! Ah!!!"
In the delivery room, Uzumaki Kushina was lying on the bed, pale and drenched in sweat. Several medical ninjas surrounded her, maintaining the seal of Kurama (the Nine-Tails), while helping Uzumaki Kushina give birth.
Bo Feng Shuimen stood solemnly outside the delivery room, completely losing the calmness he usually maintained, and kept thinking: "I don't know how Kushina is doing; the sound seems very painful. Ah! I wonder if my child will be a boy or a girl... will they look like me or their mother..."
People who have never been fathers certainly can't experience this nervousness especially when hearing Kushina's constant cries, calling his name, obviously suffering great pain which made Bo Feng Shuimen feel extremely anxious.
At the same time, Chao Yanqian also turned Bo Feng Shuimen's house upside down, searching for the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.
The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan were very important to the plan to improve the strength of the Chao Yanqian Dynasty in the future.
As an ordinary ninja without any kekkei genkai (bloodline limit), no matter how hard he trained, he could never reach the very top of the ninja world. At best, it would be like Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Even if Chao Yanqian managed to merge the First Hokage's cells, it would not fully change this situation.
Learning Sage Mode might allow Chao Yanqian to survive longer in the shinobi world, but facing the final battles of the Fourth Great Ninja War, his current strength was far from enou
Even if he spent the next ten years training with all his might, the outcome would not change.
This was a limit set by talent, not something that hard work alone could overcome.
Even if he went to learn the Eight Gates Released Formation (Hachimon Tonkō no Jin), facing a Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, he could only open the Gate of Death and bloom brightly for a brief moment.
After reading the original Naruto manga, Chao Yanqian understood this deeply.
Ordinary ninjas, no matter how hard they work, cannot reach the highest peak. But how could Chao Yanqian accept that? If he were just going to "make soy sauce" (be a background character) in the Naruto World, why bother training so hard for so many years?
In order to strengthen himself, Chao Yanqian did many things he didn't want to do, but it was still far from enough.
Fusion with the First Hokage's cells had three major advantages: first, greatly increasing chakra reserves; second, improving compatibility with senjutsu chakra; and third, enhancing affinity with tailed beasts.
In the original story, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Madara all merged with the Nine-Tails' chakra, activated Yin–Yang Release, and gained the ability to control the Truth-Seeking Balls (Gudōdama).
Although the Truth-Seeking Balls were only the size of a fist, they contained immense power. These black spheres held the combined powers of all elements, and their shapes could change freely, producing various powerful attack effects.
Those who fully mastered the Six Paths Sage Mode would have these black spheres orbiting them, representing mastery over Yin–Yang and the Five Elements.
According to Chao Yanqian's speculation, once someone collected a portion of chakra from all nine tailed beasts and achieved the Six Paths Sage Mode, the Truth-Seeking Balls would be generated automatically and unconsciously.
Therefore, Chao Yanqian planned to use the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques to separate part of the Nine-Tails' chakra and seal it into himself, thus activating the Truth-Seeking Balls and mastering the Six Paths Sage Mode.
Fully merging the nine tailed beasts would awaken Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's will, making it extremely dangerous to become a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, as Kaguya could be resurrected.
But if he only absorbed small amounts of chakra from each tailed beast, he wouldn't have to worry about Kaguya's will awakening.
To separate the tailed beasts' chakra, he had to rely on the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. Therefore, even at a great cost, Chao Yanqian had to obtain them.
However, the tailed beasts were now controlled by the major hidden villages, and getting their chakra would not be easy. For a long time in the future, Chao Yanqian would have to travel the world, scheming and working hard to capture the tailed beasts' chakra.
He also needed to obtain Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan as the technique Kotoamatsukami ("the strongest genjutsu") could play a very important role.
The reason why Chao Yanqian wanted to trade the information about "Masked Obito controlling the Fourth Mizukage" with Terumi Mei was to get the Six-Tails' chakra. Compared to the Three-Tails in Kirigakure, the Six-Tails was easier to manage. After the death of the Fourth Mizukage, the Three-Tails went wild and could be captured at any time.
As for the other tailed beasts owned by the other villages, Chao Yanqian had already made plans, but everything had to proceed step-by-step.
The tailed beasts' chakra amounts were massive. Even extracting small amounts from each of the nine tailed beasts would create a huge burden. Therefore, before sealing any tailed beast chakra, Chao Yanqian needed to fully merge the First Hokage's cells.
Only the immense vitality contained within the First Hokage's cells could withstand the huge chakra volume of the tailed beasts.
Moreover, as descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, the Senju clan had a natural affinity with tailed beasts, helping them better control their chakra.
"Found it!"
After turning Bo Feng Shuimen's house upside down, Chao Yanqian finally found a record of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques hidden in a secret compartment.
After finding the sealing technique, Chao Yanqian's heart finally settled.
The next step for Chao Yanqian was to wait. If Obito (the man in the mask) showed up, Chao Yanqian could push all responsibility onto him. If the masked man didn't show up tonight, Chao Yanqian would have to defect.
After doing something like this, Konoha would absolutely not tolerate Chao Yanqian.
He teleported back to his home, hid the sealing technique inside a secret compartment, then activated Sage Mode to search for Uzumaki Kushina's birthing location.
Although he had stolen the sealing technique, Chao Yanqian had not forgotten his decision to save Bo Feng Shuimen. However, since Uzumaki Kushina, as a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, was giving birth in an extremely secret location, she definitely wasn't inside Konoha Village.
After scanning the area around Konoha, there was no sign of Kushina's birthing place. Chao Yanqian guessed could Kushina's delivery location be far from Konoha?
It was entirely possible. After all, Kurama was too powerful. If Kurama broke free during childbirth, it could cause massive destruction. If too close to Konoha, the village could be devastated.
Thinking this through, Chao Yanqian immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique (Hiraishin no Jutsu) to teleport outside of Konoha, looking for Uzumaki Kushina.
...
"Wow!"
At that moment, a baby's cry echoed from the delivery room. Bo Feng Shuimen's expression instantly changed from anxiety to delight, and he could barely restrain himself from rushing in to see his child.
