NOVEL WEB Chapter 182: Chapter 182
The Yin-Yang Release grants the power to create something from nothing!
Uchiha Shin was not in a rush to seek out Kaguya Otsutsuki. First, he had to reshape the moon.
He moved like a god among men, and wherever he walked, towering structures rose from the barren landscape.
With his mastery of Yin-Yang Release, he could create anything—worlds, matter, even life itself. He needed no one. No one was worthy enough to assist him. He alone was the architect of his own dominion.
With a single thought, he could bring forth anything he desired.
"I can feel it," Shin mused, his eyes narrowing as he analyzed the cosmic forces at play. "The magnetic field of this place… It's different."
To him, people were nothing more than pets, insignificant creatures with fleeting lives. He had long since transcended the limitations of ordinary beings.
Even life itself was no longer beyond his reach.
"The gears of the world turn only because I allow them to."
With a casual flick of his staff, an enormous palace materialized before him. The perfect dwelling for his chosen ones.
Shin planned to reshape the moon into his personal fortress—a celestial throne where Tsunade and the others could reside in the future. If he wanted, he could construct something akin to the massive space fortresses from another realm, like the moon-sized war machines of legend.
But such a project required patience.
For now, he would pause. One hundred and three times had he halted his creation, but he was in no hurry.
Shin lifted his gaze skyward, extending his hand.
"All souls, come to me."
The battlefield's restless spirits—those slain in combat—were drawn to his command, swirling in a spectral maelstrom. He had allowed them to roam free for a time, curious to see if the spirits of those who perished here differed from those who died on Earth.
And as he expected, there was a difference.
Shin had observed how souls behaved on the mortal plane. If left alone, they would either dissipate into nothingness or be pulled into another realm. Uzumaki Mito's soul had vanished into the unknown, taken away by forces beyond ordinary understanding.
Otherwise, the Edo Tensei technique would have been unnecessary.
"The Pure Land…" Shin muttered. "It doesn't exist in the shinobi world without reason. It must be a separate dimension created by the Sage of Six Paths."
He had no interest in Hagoromo's true intentions. What mattered was that the Pure Land provided him with an advantage.
After all, as long as souls remained, Edo Tensei ensured their return.
Refocusing, Shin absorbed the spirits of both the branch and main families of the Otsutsuki lineage.
Their collective memories passed before his eyes like a film reel. He sifted through them, discarding the irrelevant ones with barely a thought.
"Interesting… There are ancient secret techniques here." Shin smirked. "The Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists… Rabbit Hair Needles… A wealth of lost knowledge."
More importantly, he discovered something far more valuable: the hidden sanctum of Otsutsuki Hamura, preserved as a forbidden area.
Finally, he had found the information he sought.
But there was no need to rush. He had other matters to attend to first.
The unification of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire required his presence.
"I'll return when the time is right."
In a blink, Shin vanished, utilizing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Back on Earth, inside Tsunade's office, Mei Terumi and Yuki awaited him on the plush sofa.
"Lord Uchiha Shin."
Mei's bright smile greeted him, though there was a hint of mischief in her eyes. Yuki, beside her, blushed, casting a shy glance his way.
Tsunade, however, did not share their enthusiasm. Her golden eyes turned sharp, filled with cold irritation.
"Ahem! Mizukage, we are still in the middle of discussing the merger."
Mei scoffed at the interruption, annoyance flashing across her face. She turned to Tsunade, her gaze laced with hostility… and jealousy.
It wasn't just Tsunade's reputation that irritated Mei—it was her body. Despite her age, Tsunade's skin remained impossibly smooth, her features as striking as ever.
But what Mei envied most was the undeniable allure of her figure.
A narrow waist, accentuated by the curve of full hips. And those thighs—thick, powerful, yet undeniably feminine. Tsunade's proportions were simply unfair.
Mei knew that in time, she would rival the woman before her, but for now, she had to concede that Tsunade had the edge.
Of course, Mei had her own advantages. Youth was on her side.
"Hmph!" Mei crossed her arms. "Lord Uchiha Shin is the emperor I swore my loyalty to. If he's here, then naturally, I will discuss matters with him!"
"You little upstart," Tsunade sneered. "No amount of talk will change anything."
She folded her arms across her chest, her already impressive figure emphasized even more. The sheer dominance she exuded made Mei grind her teeth.
"Watch yourself, old woman," Mei taunted, her smirk sharp. "Time isn't on your side."
"What did you say?" Tsunade's brow twitched. "Listen here, brat, this body is in its prime, and you know it."
"Hah! You're just a collection of overinflated assets."
The tension snapped. The two women lunged at each other verbally, trading sharp remarks like kunai in a battlefield.
Shin, amused, refrained from interfering. Why stop a perfectly good show?
Instead, he turned to Yuki, who had been silent until now.
"You've been here for a while," Shin mused, running his hand along the soft curve of her thigh. The white silk stockings she wore contrasted beautifully against her pale skin. "And I must say, you've become even more adorable."
Yuki shivered, her breath hitching. "L-Lord Shin, please…"
Her cheeks flushed a deep pink, the heat spreading across her delicate features.
Shin raised an eyebrow, enjoying her reaction. Yuki wasn't as timid as Hyuga Hinata, but her sensitivity was just as entertaining.
"Enough."
Tsunade's sharp voice cut through the moment. She wasn't about to let Mei distract her from the real issue at hand.
Mei, catching the glance Yuki was giving Shin, smirked. Despite their bickering, she had an advantage—Yuki was on her side.
That thought satisfied her.
Still, she couldn't ignore the power dynamic. Tsunade had more influence, more authority, and that irked her. A true empress needed to solidify her presence.
So, with a snap of her fingers, Tsunade called upon another ally.
The door creaked open, and in walked Uchiha Mikoto.
Dressed in her sleek secretary attire, her presence was striking—not just because of the way her blouse dipped to reveal a hint of cleavage, but because of her flawless legs.
Long. Sculpted. Balanced perfectly between strength and elegance.
Encased in smooth black stockings, they carried a grace that commanded attention.
As Mikoto stepped inside, the energy in the room shifted.
Now, the battle for dominance had truly begun
