Since that night, Konoha remained calm and undisturbed.
Yuuki did not relax his vigilance, assigning some of his clansmen to watch for any unusual activity in Konoha, especially around the Konoha Hospital.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did the same, personally funding several missions and dispatching several Anbu squads to protect Konohamaru.
Meanwhile, the villagers of Konoha had developed a habit of forming hand signs and tuning into Konoha Voice every morning.
Many villagers even stayed connected throughout the day, only disconnecting when they went to sleep at night.
Yuuki had anticipated the popularity of Konoha Voice, but it also brought about considerable problems.
The content was manageable; there were countless legends and stories in the Ninja World, and most of the time was spent on storytelling segments.
The morning and evening slots featured various news items, interspersed with songs and advertisements, making them fully packed.
The most critical issue was that Konoha Voice required Chakra, a large amount of Chakra, Chakra that never stopped flowing.
For the first few days, Yuuki had to arrange for his clansmen to queue up to input Chakra!
It wasn't until Kabuto and Qing Yue worked together, using a sealing jutsu to create a container that could store and release Chakra, that things improved.
Indeed, Kabuto had learned almost everything and had begun to enter the practical stage.
The situation of queuing to input Chakra was alleviated, but it remained a major problem.
Uchiha clansmen would start their day with half a bar less of Chakra than others, and if a solution wasn't found, it would likely continue indefinitely.
There were only two possible solutions.
One was to buy Chakra; since they had a container, they could just buy Chakra directly in Konoha. But how would this method be different from before?
The radio station was created precisely because the newspaper's promotion and costs were too high, preventing its widespread adoption.
This was just Konoha, and it already required a large sum of money to maintain. What advantage did it have over the previous method?
The second was to rely on Tailed Beasts. Although there would definitely be a price to pay, Tailed Beast Chakra was cheap, and if handled well, it might not require too great a sacrifice.
Worried about Chakra, Yuuki was now hoping that Shisui and Utakata's trip to Turtle Island would be fruitful.
In the vast ocean.
On a small boat.
Four people stood on the boat: Shisui, Utakata, Yugito, and an unknown Cloud Ninja.
When Yuuki informed Darui that a Jinchuriki would soon be heading to Turtle Island for training, Darui was somewhat puzzled.
The fact that Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki was a child was basically known to the high-ranking officials of all major Ninja villages in the Ninja World.
According to intelligence, Konoha's Jinchuriki was at most 7 years old. Was he trying to master the power of a Tailed Beast at such a young age?
It wasn't until Darui met Utakata and learned that Utakata was the Six-Tailed Jinchuriki that he finally understood.
Darui didn't care why the Hidden Mist Jinchuriki and the Uchiha were involved together.
Darui arranged for Yugito and another Ninja to take the two to find Turtle Island, as Yugito was more familiar with it.
Although Turtle Island was called an island, it was actually a giant turtle that was constantly moving.
The reason Kumogakure could possess Turtle Island was also simple: this turtle was raised by Kumogakure in the past.
As for why Turtle Island could help Jinchuriki train, Yuuki guessed it was related to the Six Paths Sage.
After all, the Gold and Silver Brothers were indeed descendants of the Six Paths Sage, and their characteristics were very obvious; the special function of Turtle Island might have been passed down from their ancestors.
The Uchiha Clan even had a stone tablet that recorded the secret of the Sharingan evolving into the Rinnegan.
After drifting at sea for several days, the four passed through a mist and saw a giant island.
Although Shisui and Utakata had seen intelligence about Turtle Island before coming, when they first saw the massive island and the head moving in front of it, they couldn't help but be shocked.
This should be the largest creature in the Ninja World. The two did not know about the Ten-Tails' existence, but even the Ten-Tails could not compare to Turtle Island.
Other Tailed Beasts appeared even smaller in front of Turtle Island.
The shock on Shisui and Utakata's faces made Yugito feel a little proud, but it quickly disappeared.
What good was such pride, when their strength ultimately couldn't compare to Konoha?
Especially Yugito, because of her high living expenses, she had been constantly doing various missions for a while now.
Darui required these captives to earn their own living expenses, and Yugito and the other Ninja did not refuse.
The Military Police Force's jail cells and jail food were also the most expensive house Yugito had ever lived in and the most expensive meal she had ever eaten in her life.
Yugito had a bad temper, but she wasn't foolish. Helpless, Yugito could only swallow her pride and work to pay off her debts.
This mission was one of the rare high-paying and easy tasks. Yugito didn't know whether to thank Konoha or resent Konoha.
After the small boat carrying the four docked beside Turtle Island, Yugito didn't delay.
"Let's go, to the Waterfall of Truth first!"
Shisui and Utakata were clear about the process for coming to Turtle Island before they departed.
If it weren't for the mission, Shisui would also want to see that miraculous waterfall and wonder what his Dark Side would be like.
Led by Yugito, the group went directly to the front of the Waterfall of Truth.
"Go on. You know the intelligence about Turtle Island. Only a Ninja who has overcome their Dark Side can become a perfect Jinchuriki."
Yugito directly told Utakata to try, but had no intention of offering any guidance.
Shisui then said to Utakata, "Senior Utakata, please be careful. If it's too much, don't force yourself!"
Utakata nodded, without replying.
He walked directly to the front of the Waterfall of Truth.
The remaining three stared intently at the movement of the waterfall.
Yugito recalled her past experience. Not long after becoming a Jinchuriki, Yugito was brought by Killer Bee to the Waterfall of Truth.
At that time, Yugito was enraged when she saw her own Dark Side and directly tore it to pieces.
Killer Bee shook his head upon seeing this, saying that Yugito could not become a perfect Jinchuriki. Unwilling to give up, Yugito went to that peculiar space.
With Killer Bee's help, Yugito defeated Matatabi, but she could never gain Matatabi's acknowledgment, even now.
Even if Yugito could occasionally bicker with Matatabi, and Matatabi would even occasionally care for Yugito, the Chakra of the two could never perfectly combine.
Yugito didn't know how to correctly overcome her inner Dark Side. Killer Bee hadn't told her, but she wanted to see what Utakata would do when facing his own Dark Side.
All four stared intently at the waterfall in front of them.
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes...
After about ten minutes had passed, Shisui asked Yugito with a puzzled expression.
"Is this waterfall broken?"
