While the Hatake family was busy talking, others commented on Kakashi's performance.

"Decent enough, I guess," Yunlong commented casually. "Kakashi has been cultivating well. And Top-tier Martial Souls. One is beast-type, and the other is body-type with a mutation related to a space-time bloodline."

"Hmm... It seemed to have Obito's Sharingan for too long affected his origin, huh?"

Dong Chan was intrigued, "Oh, are you saying that Kakashi's Martial Souls weren't purely his?"

Yunlong nodded and glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, "You can ask them for confirmation. To put it briefly, Kakashi has been using someone else's eyes from his teenage years until adulthood."

"The aftereffect of external elements caused his origin to mutate, changing his pure spirit to be like this. He was quite lucky."

"I see..." Gu Yuena nodded in realization. "That explains how that guy has mutated body-type Martial Soul."

"As Yunlong said, he was lucky." Dong Chan shook her head gently. In the Douluo Planet, she has seen many horrible mutations that resulted in the Spirit Master becoming evil and consumed by darkness, including herself.

At least Dong Chan was lucky enough to meet and be saved by Huo Yuhao.

"This... Yunlong-sama? Do you also revive Obito and others?" Sasuke asked tactfully.

Yunlong sighed casually, "Of course! It would be a shame not to use such high-quality human resources."

"I'm an opportunist. Aih, what can I say?"

Yunlong had this helpless look on his face.

"..." Sasuke and Naruto's lips twitched uncontrollably upon hearing and looking at Yunlong's casualness.

Who the hell revived the whole Pure Land just for recruitment?

Only you would do that!

Still, Sasuke and Naruto won't comment on Yunlong's ridiculous recruitment.

After all, an unorthodox problem like the war against the Otsutsuki Clan requires an unorthodox solution.

Although Yunlong made it sound easy, they doubt reviving thousands of people can be that effortless. He must pay some price to do so.

Sasuke could technically revive the dead, but the cost was too high. His chakra level is also much lower than Nagato and Naruto, who possess the Uzumaki physique and an immense amount of chakra.

It's like comparing a lake and the fucking sea!

Sasuke wasn't blessed in the physique and Chakra department. But Uchiha Clan's Dojutusu and extreme Spiritual Prowess leveled the playing field.

"Anyway... I hope you won't bring up the unpleasant past to the people I revived. To them, this was their second chance at their lives." Yunlong said while waving his hand.

"A second chance that should have been their first."

Sasuke froze on the spot. The last line is clearly talking about the Uchiha Clan massacre done by Itachi.

He sighed, "I understand."

"What if they are the ones bringing the past up?" Naruto asked with a calm expression.

After all, this world has suffered too many wars.

Uzushiogakure's destruction done by the paranoid villages is an example of this.

Amegakure's situation was also caused by war and interests. They didn't wish to be born in the center of a warzone, fearing for their dear lives.

Yunlong smiled, "Don't worry. They won't."

"If it can be solved peacefully, they will do it."

"As for blood feud, I can mediate by giving them a platform to fight to death, but there would be no lives taken..."

Yes, Yunlong was talking about the semi-virtual realm. In fact, he was planning to use that dimension to solve disputes between groups and people.

Since he was the ruler of the semi-virtual realm, he could prevent death from happening by adding clause-and-effect rules while letting some people blow off their steam.

Ah, you want to beat people to a pulp? No problem, they will become an immortal punching bag for you!

"By the way, the Otsutsuki Clan just sent five of their elite members to probe us earlier." Yunlong suddenly dropped a bomb.

"What!" Naruto was shocked.

"When did this happen?" Sasuke asked solemnly.

Yunlong briefly shared the news about Umeshiki and four Otsutsuki Elites, causing Naruto and Sasuke to frown slightly. The appearance of these Otsutsuki is a sign of imminent war.

Thankfully, Bibi Dong and Ah Yin have handled these Otsutsuki well. Two dead and three alive for Kaguya's experiment.

Naruto sighed in relief, "You're making us anxious. Dropping information like this all of a sudden."

"Hehe, don't blame me. You naturally can't sense the event outside Dong Chan's realm of purity." Yunlong replied with a small laugh. "If your senses can penetrate the domain of God, then I will have to applaud you."

"Yeah, about that..." Sasuke was helpless. He naturally couldn't even see past Dong Chan's domain, even with his Rinnegan, which embarrassed him a little.

Yunlong walked to Naruto and Sasuke, patting their shoulders. "Just focus on your cultivation for now. You two have the highest talents in this world, so don't waste it."

"Moreover, the Martial Souls I awakened for you are your key to becoming a God like me."

"Also, try to connect deeper with your Artificial Soul."

"About Kurama... Has he decided his path?" Yunlong glanced at Naruto's stomach.

'Naruto, lend me your body for a moment.' Before Naruto could reply to the question, Kurama's voice rang in Naruto's head.

Naruto helplessly sighed and exchanged places with Kurama, causing his blue eyes to turn red with a beastly slit.

Kurama blinked and stared at Yunlong solemnly. If staying in Naruto only allows him to sense Yunlong spiritually, possessing Naruto's body lets him sense Yunlong physically.

And the nine-tailed fox was stumped!

This Yunlong guy is a monster through and through.

The "Energy" contained in his body is like burning stars in the sky.

Heck! Even the sheer aura of his body made Kurama timid.

Kurama thought only Gu Yuena was a dragon in the group, but he was wrong.

"I have seriously discussed this matter with Naruto..."

"I agree." Kurama made up his mind.

"Good." Yunlong nodded at Kurama's response.

He raised two fingers, "Now, I will give you two options."

"Two?"

"Yup, two."

"In the grand scheme of Spirit Master Cultivation, your first option is to transform yourself from a sentient Chakra in the shape of a beast into a full-fledged Spirit Beast."

"Then, I can sublimate your existence into a bloodline of a nine-tailed fox and let you reincarnate into a human."

"What is the second option?" Kurama asked calmly. Although the first option is good, he must see every possible path.

Yunlong smiled, "The second option is to let you become a human directly!"

"I will create a human body for you, which will host your soul and merge with your origin perfectly. Then, I will convert 70% of your Chakra into Spirit Energy and seal it inside your new body, allowing you to cultivate the Spirit Master path immediately. Your cultivation speed will be slower, but your gain is higher."

"This... What would happen to Naruto if I took this path?" Kurama warily said.

Yunlong shook his head gently, "Nothing."

"That's why I left behind 30%, so I could be absorbed into Naruto's body, which still allows him to access Tail Beast Chakra Mode and many other things."

"This will also nurture an early-stage Soul Core in his body."

"Kurama, do it. You don't have to worry about me, buddy.' Naruto's calm voice echoed in Kurama's head. 'I'm sorry for not being able to do this sooner. You also deserve freedom.'

"You idiot..." Kurama whispered with a small smile.

He carefully considered both options before stating, "I will choose the second option!"

"Okay, let's start." Yunlong clapped his hand, causing Naruto's body to float.

He flicked his finger, and a vibrant orange fireball slowly extracted from Naruto's stomach, hovering above him.

The vibrant orange fireball is none other than Kurama's soul and 70% of his total chakra.

Don't look down on its size. The amount of chakra condensed in this small fireball exceeds Sasuke's chakra level by hundreds if not thousands.

Yunlong grabbed a 'plain' new human body he carefully constructed for the other reincarnations and stuffed the vibrant orange fireball inside, reciting some magic codes silently.

After a while, the new human's body opened his eyes and revealed bright red eyes with beastly slits.
