"That's right, Yin-Yang Release." Takemi nodded.
Yin-Yang Release was the most effective method against the Ōtsutsuki. Or rather, Yin-Yang Release was effective against any living creature in the world.
However, there were almost no people in the entire Ninja World who could fuse Yin-Yang Release.
Even Madara only barely mastered it by awakening the Rinnegan.
Moreover, even if one had Yin-Yang Release, what then? Didn't Isshiki have it too, and wasn't he still beaten up by him?
But at least he had to give everyone some confidence, otherwise, it would be troublesome if their mentality collapsed.
"I can inherently control Yin Release and Yang Release, as you all know, and I have been constantly striving to fuse these two powers. Now, I've finally made some progress."
At this point, he paused slightly, looked at the incredulous crowd, and then continued to speak, "Moreover, I am also skilled in space-time ninjutsu, and I can also use Dust Release and Wood Release, and even Sage Mode. Coupled with Yin-Yang Release, it's not impossible."
Takemi's words made everyone present's eyes light up.
They had been frightened by the battle outside, and according to Takemi's description, they felt despair at the strength of that Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki.
But now, looking at the fused Yin-Yang Release in Takemi's hand, and reviewing Takemi's abilities, they realized that the 'treasure' was right beside them.
Moreover, recalling Takemi's words, they exclaimed.
"Indeed, Takemi is right, battle isn't just about one aspect of ability. You only know when you actually fight." Hiruzen smiled.
He sighed and shook his head. "I'm really getting old. Sometimes I can't help but overthink things."
"That guy puts too much pressure on us. He's someone who can destroy the world."
Tobirama didn't mock Hiruzen. Too much pressure always makes people lose sight of the big picture and overthink.
"But I didn't expect that you would quietly master such power."
"That's right, it's incredible."
Jiraiya smiled, and Kakashi was even more immensely moved.
"Yin-Yang Release, the power of legend, it's unbelievable."
"Actually, I haven't fully fused it yet. I probably still need some time."
Takemi shook his head, then continued to speak, "But this time won't be too long. Maybe by the next time Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki appears, I will have completed it."
By then...
He would definitely have to put on a show.
Takemi was actually troubled. He had long known that such a thing would likely happen. But when it truly arrived, others only needed to cheer him on, while he had much more to consider.
For example, how to maintain Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki's invincible persona, and Takemi's undefeated myth.
"Alright, let's not talk about these things for now."
Takemi shook his head. He didn't want to think further. By then, at worst, he would farm Takeshiki as Takemi and vice-versa.
He turned his head to look at the Uchiha couple in the distance, and spoke with a smile, "Those two have been waiting for a long time. We can't keep them waiting indefinitely, after all, they helped quite a bit."
"Tch."
Tobirama pursed his lips, while Hiruzen straightforwardly called the couple over.
"Long time no see, Fugaku-dono, Mikoto-san."
"Third Hokage-sama, you're too kind." Fugaku bowed slightly, his eyes gleaming as he looked at everyone present.
He had been watching from a distance. Although Sasuke had been standing quietly to the side without speaking, being able to attend such a meeting was itself a form of recognition.
This made him even more certain that Sasuke's future was bright, and that he had done the most correct thing.
"Regarding what happened back then, we..."
"Don't talk about 'back then' anymore. It was my fault for not controlling Danzo, and you also didn't teach your child well." Hiruzen spoke first, cutting him off.
"The past is like smoke. Now everything is over. Itachi has also been killed by Sasuke. We should look forward."
"Indeed, we should look forward." Fugaku smiled.
He understood the Third Hokage's meaning perfectly.
Some things were now in the past, and Sasuke would only get better and better.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Takemi and Kakashi, and bowed once more.
"I must also thank you two for teaching Sasuke. Otherwise, Sasuke wouldn't have achieved what he has today."
"That's not right."
Before Kakashi could speak, Takemi smiled and shook his head.
"It wasn't just Kakashi-sensei and I who taught Sasuke. There were also Jiraiya-sama and Second Hokage-sama."
"Oh?"
Fugaku's eyes brightened even more. This was incredibly good news.
"Moreover, Sasuke himself is extremely outstanding."
Takemi smiled, patting Sasuke's shoulder as he slowly spoke.
"Unlike a certain subordinate of ours, whose academic performance isn't ideal, Sasuke has always been extremely excellent."
"Tch."
Naruto didn't dare to speak casually during this meeting, as his parents were holding him back, but at this moment, he couldn't hold back.
Why did Takemi start complaining as soon as they met Sasuke's parents?
Sasuke smiled, this feeling was unusually good.
"But..."
However, before Sasuke could smile for long, Takemi's voice rang out again.
"Now Sasuke also has a problem that needs to be solved, and this will require you two to guide him well."
"Hmm?"
Fugaku and Mikoto's expressions became serious, and Sasuke immediately felt that something bad was about to happen.
But Takemi pressed his shoulder and continued with a smile, "You two, only he is left of the Uchiha now, and his goal is to restore this clan."
"..."
"But he seems to have no interest in things like marriage and having children. He even seems to be somewhat repulsed."
"..."
"Can you two please persuade him well? After all, no one wants the Uchiha to disappear like this."
As Takemi's words fell, Sasuke's face turned dark.
Especially seeing the looks his parents gave him, which made him lower his head even further.
Naruto secretly chuckled, while the others looked on as if it were commonplace.
However, what Takemi said was also true. Having only one Uchiha left was indeed not ideal.
[Completed Sasuke's exclusive side quest 2: Jonin's Home Visit]
[Reward obtained: Part of Sasuke's special Yin Release]
Seeing his interface, Takemi nodded contentedly.
With this reward, plus Isshiki's Chakra, the gains this time were extraordinary.
