"Kushina, it's me."
The ninja lying unconscious on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and immediately shouted at Uzumaki Kushina, who was about to cast a Sealing Jutsu.
"You are... Yoru?"
Uzumaki Kushina's eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion.
Through her reaction, "Gojo Yoru" instantly got the answer he wanted, a smile appearing on his face as he asked knowingly: "It seems this guy's Chakra aura hasn't changed at all, right?"
"Mhm mhm..."
Hearing this tone, Uzumaki Kushina was finally convinced that the guy in front of her was Gojo Yoru who had successfully possessed the body. She nodded repeatedly: "In my Mind's Eye of the Kagura sensing, this person's Chakra aura hasn't changed from beginning to end, and neither has his Chakra capacity."
"Very good. Continue using the Mind's Eye of the Kagura; I'll try again."
As soon as the words fell, "Gojo Yoru" fainted again, his spirit returning to his own body.
Uzumaki Kushina closed her eyes and formed seals again, fully utilizing the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
When she sensed Gojo Yoru's Chakra recover and then disappear, suddenly seeming to see something, she opened her eyes abruptly, staring at "Gojo Yoru" who sat up again, and said in astonishment: "There's a change this time. This person's brain suddenly secreted a stream of Yin Release Chakra, and inside this Yin Release Chakra, I sensed your Chakra aura, Yoru."
"As expected..."
Gojo Yoru wasn't surprised.
This was why he didn't immediately use the Spirit Transformation Technique to find Konan.
Every technique has a weakness, and Super S-rank Secret Techniques are no exception.
The Mind's Eye of the Kagura could detect changes after possession, and Black and White Zetsu's sensing definitely could too.
Rashly going to find Konan would only harm her.
Fortunately, Gojo Yoru developed the space-time version of the Spirit Transformation Technique. The spirit body already had top-tier sensing shielding; after fusing with space-time power, the high-dimensional sensing shielding would definitely receive a huge boost.
Without the ability to see souls and sense space, one couldn't discover Gojo Yoru's existence.
This enhanced high-dimensional shielding wouldn't disappear even after possession.
Going to see Konan in the space-time spirit body state, absolutely no one would discover him.
Ending the experiment, Gojo Yoru returned to his physical body again, used Flying Thunder God Transfer to teleport the unconscious ninja he casually grabbed away, and then smiled at Uzumaki Kushina: "Kushina, my spirit body needs to leave for a while. Please take care of my physical body."
"Leave it to me."
Uzumaki Kushina patted her slightly bulging chest and didn't ask where Gojo Yoru was going.
"I'll be back soon."
Gojo Yoru didn't explain either. He couldn't say, "I'm going to have a 'private meeting' with another girl; please guard the door for me."
If Uzumaki Kushina knew, Kurama would probably instantly find an opportunity to break through Uzumaki Mito's Chakra seal, making her enter a semi-Tailed Beast state with at least six tails.
Asking the "main wife" to watch over him while "he" went to find the "mistress"—isn't this just a form of NTR?
Forming seals again to condense the space-time spirit body, Gojo Yoru floated in the air, still not leaving immediately but examining his physical body.
In the space-time spirit body perspective, Gojo Yoru's body was no longer a "corpse" without any energy fluctuations.
Inside his body, energy mixed with black and blue flowed through his meridians throughout his body.
Just like the Space-Time Shadow Clone without independent consciousness, this unconscious body was in a special state: touchable, but ordinary sensing couldn't capture a trace of energy fluctuation.
For Gojo Yoru, the energy inside his physical body was a super-enlarged Flying Thunder God formula. No matter how far the spirit body was, he could find the physical body through this positioning.
Sensing the space in all directions again and confirming there was no threat, Gojo Yoru's spirit body disappeared without warning.
With a few teleports, Gojo Yoru appeared in a certain valley.
The river flowed gently, birds sang, and flowers were fragrant, completely opposite to the heavy snow and cold wind of the Land of Iron.
By the river, two simple wooden houses stood.
Far from the wooden houses, a small red-haired figure was practicing Water Release in the middle of the river, with sounds like stormy waves exploding from time to time.
Water columns soared into the sky. Before forming a pouring rain scene, extremely high-temperature flames turned the water into white steam, then formed a white fire dragon with flames surging inside and billowing white smoke outside, like Boil Release nature transformation.
The fire dragon soared into the air, suddenly scattered, forming volcanic bombs wrapped in white smoke, falling towards the river.
On the way, the flames eroded the white smoke, turning into dragon head shapes. It was... Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique.
Boom boom boom...
A series of deafening explosions rang out, successfully attracting the attention of the purple-haired girl beside Gojo Yoru.
Covered with black paper marks, surrounded by a large amount of floating white paper, Konan, who was multitasking to fold white paper into different shapes, slowly opened her amber eyes, glanced in Nagato's direction, and the corner of her mouth rose slightly.
In demeanor, she had some similarities to Gojo Yoru, and her temperament was as cold as the White Tiger of Akatsuki in the original work.
But her eyes had a spirituality absent in the original work.
Looking at Konan, who was more vivid than when she followed him, Gojo Yoru's eyes were full of appreciation.
This was one of the reasons he didn't raise Konan by his side.
Raising Konan by his side could indeed cultivate her into his "Haku" and "Kaguya Kimimaro," but compared to such obedient tools, Gojo Yoru preferred right-hand women who grew up freely, had their own thoughts, and lived out their own characteristics like Uzumaki Kushina and Tsunade.
Clearly, Konan didn't disappoint Gojo Yoru.
Under the invisible pressure of White Zetsu, even though she hadn't experienced life-and-death battles, the experience of this year allowed her to complete a transformation like rebirth.
Speaking of White Zetsu, Gojo Yoru looked at Nagato again, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.
Nagato didn't know that less than a hundred meters away from him, two white creatures merged with the earth and vegetation, cutting off all aura, hiding in a giant rock, discussing his strength and growth.
Gojo Yoru finally understood why Uchiha Madara wasn't worried about Nagato's safety at all in the war-torn Land of Rain in the original work.
He thought a backup was installed in the Rinnegan to automatically activate the Rinnegan's power once Nagato encountered danger, but unexpectedly, there was also Guruguru protecting Nagato.
Guruguru, also known as Tobi, was the most special existence in the White Zetsu army.
Gojo Yoru didn't know if he was a product of Kaguya's era or a product cultivated by Uchiha Madara using Hashirama cells.
But what was certain was that Tobi was an existence like Senju Hashirama in the White Zetsu army.
His Chakra was a numerical monster in the White Zetsu army. Possessing others, he not only had defense at the level of genuine Wood Release but could also share his Chakra with the host, a super power bank like Jinchuriki and Samehada.
In the original work, just by possessing Yamato, Tobi raised Yamato's trash Wood Release to a level capable of casting the Wood Human Technique and using the Wood Human Buddha statue to cast Five Elements composite Ninjutsu.
If not for low IQ and insufficient combat experience, his strength would be at the Super Kage level.
Once Nagato encountered danger, Tobi only needed to possess him to immediately become one of the strongest in the Ninja World, possibly even able to use the Six Paths Technique of the Rinnegan.
With Tobi as a super bodyguard, Uchiha Madara indeed didn't need to worry about Nagato's safety.
Seeing that neither White Zetsu nor Tobi could discover his existence, Gojo Yoru turned into a transparent black beam directly infiltrating Konan's body.
Konan's eyes lost focus slightly, then she slowly closed her eyes as if refining Chakra.
Since the Chakra and energy fluctuations in her body didn't change at all, Tobi and White Zetsu, whose gazes were always on Nagato, didn't notice the situation here.
In the beautiful spiritual space like a galaxy, as soon as Konan's consciousness entered, she saw a figure she dreamed of day and night, and shouted with joy: "Yoru-sama!"
Gojo Yoru smiled and raised his hand to greet her: "Konan, long time no see."
Whether it was the courage developed over the past year or extreme longing for Gojo Yoru, Konan ran towards him. Her 1.4-meter body was just tall enough to hug Gojo Yoru's waist, burying her head in his chest, emitting a voice full of dependence and longing: "Yoru-sama, you finally learned the Spirit Transformation Technique. I missed you so much!"
Communication in the spiritual space wouldn't have any deception; any emotion would be maximized.
In Konan, Gojo Yoru didn't sense a trace of grievance or dissatisfaction, only dependence and admiration like last year, just with the added longing from not seeing each other for a long time.
Gojo Yoru raised his hand to stroke Konan's head, his gaze full of gentleness as he said softly: "Konan, thanks for your hard work."
"Not hard at all!"
Konan immediately looked up, revealing a big smile to Gojo Yoru, showing off: "Yoru-sama, I have followed your instructions and trained Nagato into my right-hand man. Although his strength is greater than mine now, he listens to me very much."
"When the time is ripe, I will reveal the existence of 'Yoru-sama' to him. Letting Nagato know that the person who changed his fate and cultivated him wasn't actually me, but you, 'Yoru-sama,' I believe he will definitely be grateful and admire you like I do."
"That's not important."
Gojo Yoru pinched Konan's chubby round face as usual and smiled: "Now I don't want to talk about other things; I just want to know your story this year, Konan."
At this moment, Gojo Yoru's emotions full of affection and care, with a trace of guilt, were also maximized.
Sensing Gojo Yoru's emotions, Konan felt the magic of the spiritual space and became even happier.
Although she was willing to be Gojo Yoru's "tool" and die for Yoru-sama...
Just like Haku and Kaguya Kimimaro, Konan also wanted to receive Gojo Yoru's "love."
This insignificant care was what these tools wanted most, satisfying Konan even more than Gojo Yoru's praise.
"Yoru-sama, this year I..."
Konan pulled Gojo Yoru to sit down. Her amber eyes didn't even glance at the beautiful galaxy but stared at Gojo Yoru's face, which was even more beautiful than the galaxy, telling him all her experiences this year.
In more than a year, with the Hiden technique scrolls and suggestions provided by Gojo Yoru, Konan, who was already passionate about origami, had developed Paper Release.
Although she couldn't attack yet, she had turned basic Ninjutsu into Paper Release extension techniques.
Such as Paper Release: Paper Clone, Paper Release: Paper Transformation, Paper Release: Paper Replacement, Paper Release: Paper Body Flicker, Paper Release: Paper Hiding.
Just with this set of basic extension techniques without attack power, Konan possessed extremely strong self-preservation ability.
To prevent nearby White Zetsu from seeing flaws, Konan also used Paper Release to cover her body, like Gaara's Sand Armor, able to hide and change her expressions.
Her skin and clothes were also covered with a large amount of paper, including explosive tags. She could use these papers and explosive tags to cast Paper Replacement and Paper Body Flicker at any time.
While escaping, she could also detonate explosive tags to hurt the enemy.
Unfortunately, her Chakra amount was still far insufficient, and she hadn't cultivated Sealing Jutsu yet, unable to use Paper Release to cast Sealing Jutsu.
The A-rank Forbidden Jutsu Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags was even more clueless, and she didn't dare to cultivate it at all.
Seeing Konan talking and showing expressions of self-blame and unwillingness, Gojo Yoru couldn't help but cup her small face with both hands, rubbing it vigorously, and smiled: "You are already very amazing. When I was your age, Konan, I wasn't as powerful as you."
"N... not true."
Konan frowned cutely. Although her voice was muffled, her eyes sparkled: "Yoru-sama is the most powerful person in the Ninja World. Everyone calls you the Incarnation of Miracle. A hundred Konans are not as good as one Yoru-sama."
Looking at Konan defending him seriously, Gojo Yoru felt happy and full of accomplishment.
Stopping the dough-kneading action, Gojo Yoru scraped Konan's nose and smiled: "You are not allowed to belittle yourself like this. Konan is the subordinate I value most. You will definitely become one of the most powerful kunoichi in the Ninja World in the future."
After speaking, Gojo Yoru revealed good news to Konan: "I have learned the Spirit Transformation Technique now. In the future, I can not only come to see you often but also connect with your Chakra, Konan, teaching you how to develop Ninjutsu."
"Really? That's great!"
Konan's eyes lit up immediately. Her attention wasn't on the latter part but the former. She extended her pinky finger to Gojo Yoru, revealing a sly smile on her face: "You said it, Yoru-sama. Pinky promise, you must come to see Konan often in the future."
Gojo Yoru rubbed her head, smiling dotingly: "No need for a pinky promise. If I don't come often in the future, Konan can beat me up. I grant you this privilege."
"Hehe... I wouldn't bear to beat Yoru-sama."
Konan smiled and threw herself into Gojo Yoru's arms, then looked up with a pitiful expression: "If Yoru-sama doesn't keep the promise, I'll cry for you to see."
"Okay, your acting skills are indeed amazing." Gojo Yoru gave a thumbs-up, giving a full score evaluation.
"Hehe..."
Monitored by invisible creatures for a year, accumulating immense pressure in her heart, Konan liberated her nature in the spiritual space, venting all negative emotions.
Gojo Yoru didn't teach Konan any Ninjutsu, just chatting with Konan in the spiritual space until the Space-Time Chakra was almost exhausted before saying goodbye to Konan.
Although reluctant, Konan waved goodbye to Gojo Yoru very obediently.
The space-time spirit body came out of Konan's body, then teleported continuously. When returning to the cave, the transparent black body just shed the last bit of blackness, turning into a transparent white color, extremely close to the limit.
"Yoru, you're awake!"
Returning to his physical body, just opening his eyes, Gojo Yoru saw Uzumaki Kushina's small face close to him, her eyes full of relief and joy.
"Kushina, thanks for your hard work."
Gojo Yoru revealed a gentle smile to Uzumaki Kushina.
Konan didn't know that her acting skills were weak compared to Gojo Yoru.
Gojo Yoru was the true god of acting, showing no guilt at all after just returning from another girl.
"Yoru, where did you go just now?"
Unaware that her head was green and she was guarding the door for the "mistress," Uzumaki Kushina finally asked the doubt in her heart.
"Nothing, just went to handle some business." Gojo Yoru remained gentle, changing the topic seamlessly, "When I came back just now, I passed by a hot spring district. Since we've stayed in the snowy mountains for so long, why don't we go for a hot spring bath before going back?"
"Okay, okay..."
Uzumaki Kushina was instantly distracted, agreeing repeatedly.
Thus, Gojo Yoru took the "main wife" to the Hot Spring District where the "mistress" had lived for a long time to enjoy themselves properly.
