"For now, everything is fine. If something goes wrong, the main body will retreat immediately... Yoko, your father is the strongest in this world now!"
The clone patted Senju Yoko's head, smiling to reassure her.
What he said was true; even among the Otsutsuki Race, there was none stronger than Uchiha Yoichi.
The Phoenix was indeed very powerful, but it merely felt troublesome to Uchiha Yoichi, not something that instilled fear or dread, so it was okay.
Boom!
Thud! Thud!
Bang!
After a dozen minutes, the clone relocated Senju Yoko and the others twice, because the Phoenix could precisely sense life energy and discovered Senju Yoko and the others hiding in the distance.
Possessing wisdom beyond human capability, the Phoenix quickly decided to use these lives to threaten the human who dared attack it.
However, it hadn't expected Uchiha Yoichi to have the Flying Thunder God Jutsu; as long as there was enough Chakra, he could easily relocate Senju Yoko and the others.
Finally, Uchiha Yoichi surprisingly used Truth-Seeking Orbs to immobilize the Phoenix and then twisted its wings with Kamui Dojutsu. Employing the fourth level of Lightning Annihilation Mode, he drove the mighty bird down into a pit thousands of meters underground, temporarily subduing it.
But after being severely wounded by Uchiha Yoichi, golden flames ignited on the Phoenix once more.
Predicting that it would undergo rebirth, Uchiha Yoichi used even more Truth-Seeking Orbs to completely immobilize the Phoenix, barely subduing it.
Upon receiving a distress signal, the clone quickly brought Senju Yoko over, and Uchiha Yoichi joined in the sealing ritual.
After a strenuous effort, they managed to seal the Phoenix within Senju Yoko's body.
Boom!
Following the sealing, golden flames burst forth on Senju Yoko, incinerating her clothes to ashes.
"Oh oh~"
Feeling the sudden chill, Senju Yoko swiftly tried to cover crucial areas with her arms, although it was somewhat futile, as the golden flames enveloped her entirely.
Concerned, Tsunade asked, "What's happening? Is Yoko alright?"
"It should be fine, though the Phoenix is hard to kill. Whether it can fully revive, I'm not sure... But from now on, Yoko must train with me in Spiritual Power. That way, even if the Phoenix isn't dead, Yoko can gradually subdue it..."
Just now, Uchiha Yoichi also severely attacked and twisted the Phoenix's spirit, though whether it was killed was uncertain, given the Phoenix's formidable Life Force.
"Adjust to it for a while when we return. Yoko, once you're able to control the power, start training your Spiritual Power immediately. It's not a joke."
Senju Yoko cheerfully nodded, saying, "I know, Dad, but I want to train with you!"
"As long as you're safe, that's all that matters..."
Uchiha Yoichi stretched a bit; the night's battle had consumed much of his Chakra. Although he absorbed some Life Energy from the Phoenix, using it for healing took quite a bit and was insufficient to match his expenditure.
He had concentrated dozens of Truth-Seeking Orbs and used the fourth level of Lightning Annihilation Mode.
"Let's go back. But Yoko, you might not be able to rest tonight; better get familiar with your powers first."
The golden flames alone might burn down the entire house.
————————————
Uchiha Yoichi also took the pair of white wings, over thirty meters long, back with him to make into specimens for exhibition; they contained considerable energy, having been twisted by Kamui Dojutsu.
Everyone has a bit of a collection obsession, and Uchiha Yoichi was no exception.
In the days following Senju Yoko's acquisition of the Phoenix, Uchiha Yoichi used Random Summon several times, though none were successful in summoning a suitable Exotic Beast. On two occasions, he summoned Demon Beast pigs, a magical food welcomed by all races.
The meat was tender and rich in energy, much like the Magic Goat.
Uchiha Yoichi summoned several more, gathering three females and two males, and placed them in the care of the Uchiha Livestock Farm.
In the ensuing days, Uchiha Yoichi hadn't summoned any Exotic Beast suitable for Kimimaro.
Thus, on the final day, Uchiha Yoichi chose to repeat the Phoenix summoning, only to be disappointed when a matching one didn't appear.
Although it was a Phoenix, it was the one from the Harry Potter world, with a wingspan of only a little over a meter.
As a pet, it might work out, but sealing it within the body would be ineffectual, yielding no power.
Kimimaro wasn't too disappointed, as his prowess among ninjas was already remarkable, possessing Jonin-level skills even before graduating from Ninja School. Though not as swift as Shiro, he was considered a rare genius ninja in Konoha.
Having exhausted the uses for the Random Summon ability, Senju Yoko had mastered the Phoenix's abilities within those days, and had already obtained entry-level proficiency in Spiritual Telekinesis.
She originally had a foundation in Genetic Primordial Energy training, thus making the basics simple.
Seeing no urgent matters in Konoha, Uchiha Yoichi was ready to again activate the Plow for space-time traverse. This time, he intended to travel back a thousand years, seeking ways to combat the Pure Land through comprehensive Yin-Yang Art inheritance.
He and Otsutsuki Hagoromo were eternal enemies, with death awaiting one of them. Since the Pure Land was Hagoromo's territory and Uchiha Yoichi knew little about it, more intelligence was necessary.
After discussing with family, Uchiha Yoichi prepared for departure.
"Wait a moment, Dad."
As Uchiha Yoichi prepared to leave, Senju Yoko suddenly approached him, embraced him, and whispered in his ear, "If you have time, please visit Mom often; she's lonely being by herself!"
"Of course, I know..."
Uchiha Yoichi sighed inwardly, replying softly; knowing that his world's Tsunade had his daughter now, naturally, he wouldn't let her feel alone.
To ensure that it was Senju Yoko who came to him first, Uchiha Yoichi would visit Tsunade discreetly.
The Plow meticulously records every space-time visited, ensuring no paths are lost or locations mistaken.
This time, Uchiha Yoichi prepped for traveling back a millennium in his own time-space, thus not needing the Dragon Vein's power.
Securing other matters, Uchiha Yoichi activated the Plow.
Upon activation, this Treasure Tool transformed from a mere shell into a turtle, and then its eyes lit up, saying, "Energy replenished; shall we initiate 'Plow' for space-time travel?"
"Activate."
With Uchiha Yoichi's response, the Plow radiated a glaring white light, soon engulfing him.
Upon entering the space-time tunnel, Uchiha Yoichi instructed the Plow, "Travel back to one thousand two hundred and thirty-five years ago."
"That spans quite a while, requiring an hour."
After the Plow spoke, Uchiha Yoichi observed the rapid reversal of surroundings.
"An hour seems excessively long..."
Uchiha Yoichi sighed but was resigned to rely on the Plow for space-time travel, lacking personal capability.
With time gradually passing, the reversing space-time visuals slow, eventually halting as the Plow emits a radiant white light, extracting Uchiha Yoichi from the space-time tunnel.
"Arrival at one thousand two hundred thirty-five years prior; 93% energy depleted; please replenish swiftly to enable future travels."
Upon hearing the Plow's report, Uchiha Yoichi remarked, "One journey consumed nearly all energy; it seems traversing back a millennium is the limit... Can the Plow travel a thousand years into the future?"
"Trips to the future require tenfold energy compared to historical journeys, with uncertainty of reaching this time-space's future."
After the Plow's reply, Uchiha Yoichi shook his head, storing the turtle away subsequently.
Then Uchiha Yoichi ascended into the air, scanning the vicinity to identify it as a mountainous terrain, likely the site of Konoha Village over a millennium ago.
