After going to bed at night, Yoichi arrived in the dream space as scheduled.

First, he entered Mina's dream and found himself holding a chain, the other end of which was... around a neck?

And in his other hand was a whip, poised as if he had swung it countless times before.

Yoichi twitched at the corner of his mouth, wondering what was going on. How had he ended up equipped with both items in just one day?

He threw aside the whip and chain, then, using his power to dominate the dream space, recreated the progress Mina had not finished from yesterday.

Then he lifted Mina off the ground and brought her to a table, instructing her, "Continue with yesterday's research, forget about everything else."

"Ah? This dream again? No, no, I want to go back to the dream I just had."

Mina's face showed her confusion before she hurriedly shook her head, wanting to return to the beautiful dream she had just been having.

However, without Yoichi's permission, Mina couldn't return to that dream. He slapped her cheek thrice and commanded, "Hurry up, this is an order!"

"I, I understand."

After being slapped, Mina trembled and then, blushing, agreed to comply.

"I'll check on you later. If there's no progress..."

Yoichi controlled Mina's dream, ensuring she couldn't return to her previous dream.

"I understand."

Seeing Mina become compliant, Yoichi felt reassured and left.

After Mina started her research, it was pointless for him to wait there, so he returned to practice using his Shadow Clones.

Besides the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yoichi also had three Shadow Clones practicing other ninjutsu, like the Cloud Village's Hell Stab. The piercing power was astonishing when speed was maximized.

Since chakra recovered quickly, practicing a bit was no harm.

"Should I visit someone else's dream?"

The idea suddenly popped into Yoichi's mind. Practicing with Shadow Clones, his real body joining the training would only add a fraction of progress, not a decisive factor.

Why not take a stroll through other people's dreams and see if there are any unexpected gains?

After deciding, Yoichi first thought of entering Hiruzen's dream.

However, this time Yoichi did not directly appear in the dream. Instead, like when he visited Mikoto's dream, he found himself outside the dream.

"It seems I need to be part of their dream to replace myself in it. If they haven't dreamed of me, I'll appear outside their dream space."

Yoichi saw that Hiruzen's dream was about a Kage Summit, with Hiruzen sitting at the head, backed by Danzo and Sakumo.

The Third Raikage said, "Third Hokage, your renown and kindness have greatly impressed the Cloud Village. We wish to sign a subjugation treaty with the Leaf Village. Please, Third Hokage, give us a chance!"

Hiruzen smiled but declined, "Why go that far? A peace treaty will suffice."

The Third Raikage, looking admiringly at Hiruzen, said, "Without you, Third Hokage, the Cloud Village would never be convinced. I am willing to lead the Cloud Village to submit to you."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, also said, "The same for me. To me, the Third Hokage's magnanimity surpasses even the First Hokage's. The Rock Village is willing to sign this subjugation treaty."

"The Sand Village is also willing to sign. Apart from the Third Hokage, I have never admired anyone else."

"Third Hokage, we are sincere. Please agree."

Hiruzen nodded slightly, then turned to Danzo and asked, "What do you think, Danzo?"

"Danzo, whatever decision you make is fine. From the day you became Hokage, I have always admired you."

Danzo spoke solemnly, "Competing with you for Hokage was my failure to see your greatness. Thankfully, Tobirama-sensei did not choose me as Hokage."

"I'm about to vomit! What nonsense are you dreaming, you old fool!"

From outside, Yoichi was almost nauseated by this clown show. He used his ability to assume Danzo's appearance and entered Hiruzen's dream directly.

He dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand and then produced chains to bind Hiruzen and hang him up.

"Danzo? What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Shut up, you nauseating old man!"

After speaking, Yoichi began whipping Hiruzen. After dozens of lashes, Hiruzen started to cry out in pain.

Yoichi then put down the whip and physically assaulted Hiruzen for an hour before releasing him.

After leaving Hiruzen's dream, the dream suddenly vanished.

"He must have woken up from the pain, which is why the dream disappeared."

Just as Yoichi guessed, Hiruzen immediately woke up, ignoring the pain in his body and grimacing.

"It hurts, it hurts so much, damn Danzo! Ow, ow!"

After being beaten for an hour, the accumulated pain suddenly overwhelmed Hiruzen. Even as the Third Hokage, he couldn't bear it.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Biwako Sarutobi spoke irritably to Hiruzen, "What do you mean by 'it hurts' in the middle of the night?"

"It's nothing, just a nightmare," Hiruzen said, grimacing in pain. He vividly remembered the dream, which felt like hell, being beaten like a punching bag by Danzo for over an hour.

"Go back to sleep if it's nothing."

After saying that, Biwako turned over and went back to sleep.

However, Hiruzen waited for the pain to subside a bit before lying down again. And even then, he dared not fall asleep again, fearing another nightmare.

"Damn Danzo!"

...

What Hiruzen didn't know was that not long after, Danzo also woke up from a dream, and the pain made him fall to the floor. He even checked his limbs to ensure they were intact.

"Was that a nightmare? Why was it so real? Could it be a technique similar to the Yamanaka clan's? But why was Hiruzen in the dream?"

Confused, Danzo couldn't stand up due to the pain. After a while, he slowly got up.

It's good to have legs; he had dreamed his limbs were chopped off, almost condemning him to a life in a wheelchair. And Hiruzen mocked him while beating him, claiming he was the true Hokage.

Ridiculous, does being Hokage give you the right to chop off someone's legs?

"Hiruzen, just wait. I will become Hokage, and then..."

After dealing with Danzo, Yoichi went to check on other people's dreams.

Sakumo originally wasn't dreaming, but after Yoichi pulled him into a dream, he began practicing kenjutsu.

Yoichi watched for a while but found it boring and left.

In Kurenai's dream, Yoichi directly appeared, which means his student had dreamed of him, thus replacing him in the dream upon entry.

However, Kurenai was circling Yoichi with a proud face, laughing and saying, "Sensei, convinced now? Just ask me, and I can release the genjutsu and let you out."

"What wishful thinking."

Yoichi suddenly spoke, then picked up Kurenai and spanked her a few times before putting her down.

Under Kurenai's shocked and embarrassed gaze, Yoichi said, "Thinking you can trap me in a genjutsu? You're a hundred years too early!"

After saying that, he left Kurenai's dream.

Next, Yoichi checked a few more people's dreams, but either they weren't dreaming, or their dreams were uninteresting. Moreover, those people weren't related to him.

"What is Kushina dreaming about? Could I enter her body's sealing space?"

Yoichi suddenly thought, recalling that Jinchuriki could meet their Tailed Beasts in dreams or unconscious states.

If he entered Kushina's dream, could he meet the Nine-Tails and extract some chakra from it?

Deciding to experiment, he found that Kushina wasn't dreaming and couldn't make her dream. However, he sensed Kushina's consciousness in a certain place.

Yoichi directly followed with his ability.

A vast world unfolded before him, the ground beneath his feet like a mirror, creating ripples with every step.

"This doesn't seem like a dream. It appears I've come to Kushina's sealing space through this ability, or I've followed her consciousness here."

Yoichi noticed a gigantic creature in the distance, with a tiny human figure in front of it.

"That must be the Nine-Tails."

Yoichi was familiar with that chakra. He had once stolen a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra from Kushina, an overwhelming sensation of hatred.

Fortunately, Godzilla consumed it, or he would have struggled to utilize the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"The ability to control dreams can't be used? It can only be used to leave here."

Yoichi discovered bad news. Kushina's sealing space didn't seem to count as a dream. He could enter and exit, but all other abilities were ineffective.

"Good thing there's still the Sharingan."

Yoichi's eyes turned into the Sharingan, with three tomoe slowly rotating in his pupils. Although not yet the Mangekyō, his Dōjutsu was strong among those with three tomoe.

He then headed towards Kushina and the Nine-Tails, maintaining a medium distance. A few Body Flicker Techniques would get him there, but he concealed his presence as he approached.

"Kushina! Everyone is using you, everyone hates you, even that Uchiha despises you because you sealed me inside you."

"Now we can't separate. I understand you best. Only I can help you escape this situation. Only by believing in hatred, believing in my power, can we..."

Intense hatred continuously emanated from the Nine-Tails, affecting the entire sealing space. Merely approaching would subject one to the chakra's negative emotions.

"Shut up, Nine-Tails. I won't believe you."

Kushina glared defiantly at the Nine-Tails. Whenever she slept, she could dream of the Nine-Tails. Previously, she avoided it, but now she actively sought it out to train and accustom herself to the hatred in the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"I will succeed. I will get used to your chakra, accept your hatred!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Foolish words, foolish people!!!"

Kushina was interrupted by the Nine-Tails' roar, "Coveting my power, you captured and sealed me, confining me to a place without sunlight. Since you want to accept hatred, try it then!"

The Nine-Tails willingly released its chakra, instantly covering the space in a blood-red energy, a hatred tens of times stronger than before.

Even with the Sharingan activated, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but be affected.

"Nine-Tails, you..."

Kushina was the most affected, being in her body's sealing space. When the Nine-Tails released its negative emotions through the chakra, she felt it most acutely.

Hatred, death, loneliness, violence—all these negative emotions directly caused Kushina's face to show signs of becoming a Tailed Beast.

Her body in her home, lying in bed, also slowly manifested blood-red Tailed Beast chakra.

"What's wrong, Kushina? You wanted to accept my chakra, didn't you? Afraid to try now? Human child, stop talking big!"

"I won't give up."

Despite the pain on her face, Kushina didn't give up, intending to slowly accustom herself to the Tailed Beast chakra through this training method.

Then, four Adamantine Chains extended from behind her, directly binding the Nine-Tails' limbs, intending to control its indiscriminate release of Tailed Beast chakra.

"Fool, you fell for it!"

Hidden nearby, Yoichi spoke up. Although he didn't know the Nine-Tails' plan, the excited emotion on its face gave something away.

After the Adamantine Chains bound its limbs, the Nine-Tails' struggle stopped, but the chains' binding points emitted negative emotions ten times denser than before. The intense negativity turned the Nine-Tails' chakra deep red.

The Adamantine Chains, condensed from Kushina's chakra, were manipulated by the Nine-Tails, which had planned to use its denser negative emotions to transmit back through the chains, attempting to make Kushina lose control. It hoped to kill the Jinchuriki and free itself by causing her to become uncontrolled.

"Ah ah ah!!"

In an instant, Kushina screamed in terror, as if she saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, countless resentful spirits complaining to her, wanting to drag her into eternal damnation in hell.

This was supposed to be a step in training with the Nine-Tails' chakra mode, but for Kushina at her current strength, reaching this step was a bit premature.

"Yes, that's it. Accept all my hatred!"

The Nine-Tails thought gleefully, seeing a chance to free itself soon.

However, before it could rejoice, the Nine-Tails suddenly saw someone appear and stand in front of Kushina.
