"Why shouldn't we eat? Mr. Yoichi, those Great Snakes are hard to control, and it'll take a month..."
When Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime arrived, they were quite puzzled by Uchiha Yoichi's request.
Uchiha Yoichi said, "In a month, I plan to destroy Mount Myoboku. Tell this to the White Snake Sage, and let all the Great Snakes have a feast at that time."
He calculated this thinking as if he could go on pretending nothing happened; how could that be possible? Even though Mount Myoboku once helped Konoha in battle, it doesn't matter. Now the only fate left for Mount Myoboku is annihilation.
If he acted like nothing happened, wouldn't anyone be able to scheme against him in the future? Konoha is a military organization, not a charity.
Tagorihime exclaimed, "To act against Mount Myoboku... This definitely needs to be reported to the White Snake Sage."
"Let the White Snake Sage count how many Great Snakes are capable of fighting; in a month, I will summon them all."
Uchiha Yoichi said, it is only natural for snakes to eat toads. Instead of blowing Mount Myoboku to the ground, it's better to let the Great Snakes of Ryuchi Cave devour the toads of Mount Myoboku.
Recently, the Summoned Giant Snakes from Ryuchi Cave have been performing well; already sixty to seventy Great Snakes have signed individual summoning contracts with Konoha Ninja, and have even donned Konoha Headbands.
These are the kinds of Summoned Beasts Konoha needs.
Uchiha Yoichi said, "Please convey the message."
Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime shook their heads and said, "It's our duty. If there's nothing else, we'll go inform the White Snake Sage now."
"Go ahead."
After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime used Ninjutsu to return to Ryuchi Cave.
However, Ichikishimahime remained behind. Seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi asked, "Do you have anything else to discuss?"
The blue-haired loli snake giggled and drifted next to Uchiha Yoichi, sniffing, then softly pleaded, "Let me drink a cup of your blood..."
"No."
Uchiha Yoichi decisively refused, "You haven't contributed anything, how do you have the nerve to ask for my blood?"
"Who says I haven't contributed!"
Ichikishimahime immediately protested with hands on her hips, "I taught Yugito the Immortal Technique, and helped with the Tailed Beast inside her. Without my guidance, she wouldn't have mastered Sage Mode so quickly..."
"...That does count as your contribution, but it's not enough. Teach ten more people Sage Mode, and I'll give you a small cup..."
"You... I'll fight you for it!"
Upon hearing she needed to teach Sage Mode to ten people, Ichikishimahime knew Uchiha Yoichi was not inclined to share his blood, and desperately lunged forward to forcibly take it.
However, Ichikishimahime forgot how tough Uchiha Yoichi's skin was; and since last time, Uchiha Yoichi had strengthened his body to a planet-level, tougher than diamond.
Crack!
Ichikishimahime craftily used Chakra but when it encountered Uchiha Yoichi's resilient and tough skin, her snake fangs almost broke off.
"What's it to me? I'm curious why you suddenly became like this; you're supposed to be a snake."
"I'm the Snake Sage, more human now!"
"You bastard, I'll fight you!"
"Stop, stop, I'll give you a cup of blood as compensation..."
Uchiha Yoichi said disdainfully.
He was ready to change his clothes.
Then, Uchiha Yoichi took out a cup, sliced his hand, and once it filled, Ichikishimahime eagerly took it.
Downing it in one gulp, she even licked the cup, not wanting to miss a drop of blood.
"It's so good; the energy in your blood feels even richer. If I could drink a cup from time to time, my evolution speed would be the fastest..."
After drinking Uchiha Yoichi's blood, Ichikishimahime forgot about the unpleasantness just now. What she wanted most was another cup.
"Keep dreaming. If you want a reward, make more contributions. Perform well for me in a month!"
After finishing, Uchiha Yoichi opened the window and tossed Ichikishimahime out.
Once Ichikishimahime left, Uchiha Yoichi thoroughly cleaned his office.
The clone was also dispelled, and Uchiha Yoichi had the Kamui Clone release Uchiha Madara. Though still alive, Uchiha Madara's remaining Chakra was barely enough to keep him breathing and speaking.
The Chakra absorbed by Kaguya was hard to recover, but Uchiha Yoichi still cautiously had the Sealing Team set a seal on Uchiha Madara, and then let Senju Hashirama check on his old rival.
Kaguya's placement was assigned to Minami in the house previously built for Kushina, now rebuilt.
Visiting Otsutsuki Kaguya every other day, awakening her fear of the Otsutsuki Race, then gaining some goodwill.
This gains goodwill the fastest. In theory, Otsutsuki Kaguya is also a recluse. Looking at her deeds, she attacked Isshiki, consumed the fruit, and then prepared White Zetsu to rebel against the Otsutsuki.
She didn't even communicate properly with her two sons. If truly ruthless for power, she could have absorbed their strength before they grew up; Otsutsuki Kaguya's behavior could truly be described as naive.

"May I ask, how is his condition?"
After sealing him, Uchiha Shisui, seeing Jiraiya looking pale and weak, kindly took him to Konoha Hospital.
