Chapter 244: List of Participants (4000)

After leaving Uchiha Madara's capital, Jiu Xing immediately found Senju Hashirama and explained to him the bet with Uchiha Madara.

"Is that so?"

Senju Hashirama looked at the young man in front of him in silence.

If the battle can be controlled within a very small range, it is indeed an excellent choice.

Jiu Xing not only controlled the battle within a few people, but also divided the rules to avoid unnecessary casualties. He really took all aspects into consideration.

"There's still a year left. I can help you if you need it."

Listening to what Senju Hashirama said, Jiu Xing waved his hand and said:
"If I drag you into my team, Uchiha Madara will inevitably turn against you. After all, you belong to this world anyway."

"Besides, if you help me, you will inevitably be criticized for waiting until the Eight Thousand Spears are lifted."

"You just have to take over the world in a year."

“The only thing is that the world cannot have the situation of dozens of countries as before.”

"You should understand what I mean, right?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Senju Hashirama was silent for a moment and then nodded:

"I see."

After saying goodbye to Hashirama Senju, Kyuko told Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki to behave themselves for the time being and then left.

He needs to bring this news back so that everyone can prepare for war.

—The First Parallel Universe—

Shining Empire Capital
When Jiu Xing walked out of the Dragon Vein Palace in the center of the capital, he happened to run into a few acquaintances.

"Brother Maru!"

The brown-haired girl waved and shouted at Jiu Xing.

Now eleven years old, Nohara Rin has successfully escaped the fate of death in the original work.

Looking at the girl who was jogging towards him, Jiuxing rubbed her head. He had become immune to the nickname Jiuxing that Nohara Lin gave him.

"how?"

"No class today?"

Jiu Xing looked up at the sun. It should be around two o'clock in the afternoon. Logically, Nohara Lin should be in class now.

Hearing Jiu Xing's words, Nohara Lin's face froze slightly, and then her eyes unconsciously wandered to the side, and she smiled awkwardly:

"Ah this..."

"It was me, Larin, who skipped class."

"If Jiu Xing brother wants to talk, just talk about me!"

At some point another little girl popped out.

The person had long black hair, delicate features, fair skin, and a hint of baby fat on his cheeks.

Thousand-handed flame.

In order to cultivate the child's relationship with her peers, Tobirama Senju sent her to a special school built specifically for these children in the empire.

The entire school is divided into two colleges.

Those with ninja talents and those without ninja talents belong to different academies.

The Ninja Academy is easy to understand. It teaches children ninja skills just like the previous Ninja School, and those who do not have ninja talents will specialize in medical care, technology, management and the like.

The Senju Yanyan who was skipping classes with Lin was naturally a member of the Ninja Academy.

And she has always been the top student in her class.

"I'm busy right now. Regarding your skipping classes, go find your dad yourself."

Jiu Xing rubbed Qian Shou Yan Yan unhappily, making her beautiful black hair into a mess.

Looking at Jiu Xing's departing back, Qianshou Yanyan pursed her lips in annoyance:

"What is taught in school is too simple. My father has already taught me."

Jiu Xing paused, turned around and looked at the stubborn girl in front of him, walked up to her and looked at her stubborn eyes, thought for a moment and said:

"If you can attend class honestly in the future, I can consider teaching you the God of Waves."

Hearing Jiu Xing's words, Qianshou Yanyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"A word is settled!"

"When have I ever lied to anyone?"

Looking at the excited little girl in front of him, Jiu Xing waved to her and signaled her to go back to class.

"And Lin."

Jiu Xing looked at Nohara Lin beside him and said seriously:

"In the future, whenever Yanyan has any random ideas, he must think carefully about the consequences of this matter on himself."

"Yanyan's talent is very high, and your talent is not as good as Yanyan's."

"But don't be discouraged, Lin, your chakra control is excellent. I personally recommend that you go the route of a medical ninja."

"If you think it's okay, I can recommend you to Lady Tsunade."

"But the prerequisite is that you need to watch Yanyan."

"The reason why a friend is a friend is that he can prevent his friend from making mistakes and correct them in time."

"Although it's a bit nonsense, it's also what I really think."

Nohara Lin looked at Jiuxing with her big eyes, and seemed to be surprised by Jiuxing's words.

"Yes!"

"Brother Maru!"

"I will definitely keep an eye on Yanyan!"

Qianshou Yanyan said with some annoyance on his face:
"what the hell!"

"I've heard everything about Jiu Xing's childhood from the teacher at school, the Uzumaki Gang~"

"Now I am the twelfth leader of the Uzumaki Gang!"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was a little bit awkward, Jiu Xing smiled and didn't care. He touched her head and told them to go back with a smile.

For Jiu Xing, all the bad things that happened in the past are a time worth remembering.

—

In the administrative hall on the top floor of the Guangyao Tower, a beautiful blonde woman, with her bulging belly, sat in the main seat and slowly looked at the documents in her hands.

Xun has been pregnant for six months, but she is too busy to rest and still comes here every day to handle some government affairs.

Because of the existence of the inner court, there are very few things she needs to deal with every day, and basically they can be completed in one or two hours a day.

Looking at the report jointly submitted by Fenghua Zaoxue and Fenghua Nutao in his hand, Xun glanced at it and then picked up a convenient seal to stamp it.

This is an idea that the brothers Fuuka came up with based on the chakra armor and created the so-called mechanical ninja at the suggestion of Orochimaru.

Replace humans with machines to avoid unnecessary casualties.

This technology can be used not only in combat, but also in various aspects of life.

Xun immediately noticed the convenience of this technology and agreed to stamp it without hesitation.

The Dragon Vein Project has always been the empire's expansion policy. In case a large-scale battle is needed, these robots will be the best vanguards.

Just as Xun put down the documents, a figure appeared at the window.

"Why do you need to handle these tasks yourself?"

Listening to Jiu Xing's words, Xun rolled her eyes at her husband and said:

"How can that be possible?"

"I'm not like someone who just pats his butt and runs around the world~~~"

Seeing his beloved wife's weird look, Jiu Xing couldn't help but smile and said:

"I am working hard for our big family..."

Jiu Xing smiled awkwardly and moved closer to Xun to massage his wife's shoulders.

Feeling her husband's flattering tone, Xun pursed her lips and said nothing more. She also agreed with Jiu Xing's decision to go to the unknown parallel universe.

But when I thought about the fact that I had a big belly these days and found myself alone when I woke up, I couldn't help but feel a little upset.

"How about it?"

"That world?"

Xun asked as he rubbed his belly and leaned on Jiu Xing's shoulder and closed his eyes.

After hearing what Xun said, Jiu Xing told him everything he had seen and heard without any hesitation, but in the end, the so-called life-and-death battle with Uchiha Madara turned from his mouth into a competition of who was better.

"I see."

"I didn't expect it to be the world where Uchiha Madara is."

"This choice is indeed a way to minimize the losses."

Xun didn't say much about Jiuxing's self-assertion.

A year later, not only myself but Nao also gave birth.

Xun quickly recalled the masters of the Warring States period, but his memory was a little fuzzy.

The brilliance of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha of that era was too dazzling. Compared with them, the rest of the people were like fireflies competing with the bright moon.

"Then go talk to Nao about it tonight. I think she'll be very interested."

Xun leaned on Jiuxing's shoulder, closed his eyes and spoke softly.

Not only Nao, but Uzumaki Menma is also interested in this.

Even if you use your toes to think, with Uzumaki Menma's belligerent nature, there is no way he would miss this so-called competition.

"Two more years."

Xun suddenly spoke up.

"Ah."

Jiu Xing responded softly.

He naturally knew what the so-called two years meant.

When the empire was first established, a five-year term was set to prevent the monarch from ruling for a long time and becoming willful.

Xun has been in office for three years now, and in two years the monarch will have to be re-selected from the inner court.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next monarch will be chosen between Kaoru, who will continue to serve as monarch for five years, and Tsunade and Senju Tobirama in the inner court.

Time passed quietly, the sun set, and the sunset glow fell on Xun through the window.

Looking at his wife's sleeping face, Jiu Xing couldn't help but kiss Xun's hair.

However, this action made Xun open his eyes. Looking at Jiuxing who was kissing him secretly, Xun smiled and pinched Jiuxing's cheek and said:
"You bad fellow, you actually dared to disrespect the monarch of the empire. I think you are too bold."

"If you drag him down, you'll get sixty lashes!"

Jiu Xing smiled playfully upon hearing this and immediately responded:
"Hey, how's the Imperial Monarch?"

"Aren't you still going to obey me?"

As he spoke, in front of Xun's dumbfounded gaze, Jiuxing grabbed her hand and moved closer.

Xun exclaimed, "Stomach, stomach!"

"Just a kiss."

"Just for a moment~~"

after an hour
Xun glared at Jiu Xing who pretended to be indifferent.

What a bully!
"What are you looking at!"

“It’s time to get off work!”

Xun grabbed Jiu Xing's ear and yelled in annoyance.

"Hi hi hi~~~"

Jiu Xing quickly helped his wife up with a smile, not caring about what Xun did.

Looking at Xun's solemn black and red robe, Jiu Xing couldn't help but take another look.

Xun was wearing this just now, and then...

Hehe~~
"What are you looking at!"

Noticing Jiuxing's inexplicable gaze, Xun couldn't help but blush and felt ashamed and angry.

—

The night is like a curtain, and the evening breeze is cool

Jiu Xing was sitting in his study at this moment, with several drafts in front of him.

Those drafts were filled with densely packed sealing patterns, some professional terms, and symbols that only Jiu Xing himself could understand.

This is a field-type sealing technique that Jiu Xing conceived three or four years ago based on the sealing techniques of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon and the Diamond Seal.

And in a semi-finished state, he successfully used this technique to restrict Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique in the Dragon Vein Battle.

Now, four years have passed, and the semi-finished product has been developed to perfection by Jiuxing, but no matter what, it can't achieve the effect that Jiuxing had expected.

In his mind, the most perfect form of this technique would be to directly open up another space in the real world and pull his enemies into it.

Or you can directly influence the surrounding environment and create an area that is absolutely beneficial to you. The right time, place and people are all up to you. With a thought, all the covered areas will change according to your wishes.

This is similar to the inherent barrier in Fate/stay night or the area in the so-called Jujutsu Kaisen.

However, there is still a difference, because Jiu Xing is extremely good at sealing techniques and Vajra Seal, once he steps into this world created by Vajra Seal.

The suppression of the enemy is almost overwhelming.

In addition to the nine tailed beasts in his body, sealing techniques and fairy techniques occupy an absolutely important position in Jiuxing's strength.

Once the enemy falls into this spell, the result is predictable.

They can also use the unique attributes of the tailed beasts to perform attacks such as lava escape, boiling escape, fire escape, and dissolution escape.

It can even completely simulate the real world.

Just as Jiu Xing was thinking about how to improve this technique, a graceful figure walked in.

"What are you thinking about?"

The visitor was wearing a loose white gauze dress, with her long black hair casually draped over her face. Her facial features were indescribably charming, especially her pair of eyes like stars, which made people unable to help but fall deeply in love with her.

"I'm thinking about you~~"

Jiu Xing gently pulled Nao into his arms, stroked her bulging belly and spoke tenderly.

"Hmph, you're such a chatterbox~~"

Nao is not Kaoru, and is highly immune to Kyuuki's sweet words.

"I heard from Xun that we are going to have a competition with Uchiha Madara from that world to decide who owns that world?"

Nao leaned in Jiuxing's arms, her delicate white fingers playing with Jiuxing's red hair, and spoke softly.

Jiu Xing nodded upon hearing this.

Although Uchiha Madara's bet was to remove the Eight Thousand Spears, both of them knew it well.

There is no difference between removing the Eight Thousand Spears and handing over that world.

"Interesting. Do you have a candidate in mind?"

Facing the expectant gaze, Jiu Xing subconsciously said:

"Of course you are one of them~~~"

Nao rolled her eyes at Jiu Xing and said:
"Be serious, I'm talking about business!"

"Cough cough."

Jiu Xing was a little embarrassed. When facing Nao, he always subconsciously wanted to tease her.

"Senju Tobirama, Uzumaki Menma, Uchiha Sasuke, Namikaze Minato, Haruno Sakura, and you."

"For the last one, you can consider Orochimaru or Sister Tsunade."
