Besides this, he was also the first wandmaker to insist on using powerful magical materials as wand cores.

Many wandmakers had given up using these powerful magical materials in pursuit of wand stability, preferring to choose some ordinary magical materials.

Relatively ordinary magical materials as cores could easily blend with the wand wood, while powerful magical materials would become extremely uncontrollable in this process.

No one knew how Ollivander controlled this process.

Among wandmakers, many coveted Ollivander's exclusive secret.

The old man could live to this age safely, clearly he had something.

After working as an apprentice in the wand shop for half a month, Ollivander finally spoke to Chu Yang about the secret.

"Treat all the magical materials in your hands as living things, imagine they can 'breathe', and 'breathing' will produce a unique pulsation. Grasp that, and you can easily blend them together."

"Only by working in this industry for a long enough time and coming into contact with enough magical materials can you have the opportunity to feel the kind of pulsation I'm talking about..."

"The reason I am optimistic about your future in this field is not only because you are smart enough, but also because I felt something similar in your magic power."

"You can use magic power to resonate with this special pulsation."

Chu Yang asked curiously: "Then how should I do it?"

"I don't know how to do it either, after all, these are just my guesses." Ollivander took out a large amount of materials and placed them in front of Chu Yang, "Now you can only communicate in the most primitive way. Hold the materials in your hands, wrap them with magic power, and try to feel it."

"Are you sure it won't explode? Some magical materials are very active!" Chu Yang suspected that this old man was using him for experiments, and his eyes were a bit wrong.

"As long as you don't try to fuse them together, it won't explode." Ollivander coughed dryly and urged: "Hurry up and start."

Chu Yang held the magical materials in front of him in his hands, and then, as Ollivander said, wrapped them with magic power.

Chu Yang, who had never tried this before, really felt a strange pulsation.

It was like a human heart beating.

"Felt it?" Ollivander leaned over to Chu Yang excitedly and asked: "What does it feel like?"

"Heartbeat." Chu Yang replied truthfully.

"That's right, next you just need to practice repeatedly to master the trick." Ollivander nodded with satisfaction, "With your talent, you will soon meet my requirements. Next, you can try the fusion of the core and the wand wood. Once you reach this step, you will be considered a master."

"It's just that the supply is a bit insufficient. I don't know why, but it's hard to see unicorns recently, and phoenix tail feathers and dragon heartstrings are also hard to find. It's meaningless for you to practice with ordinary materials..."

Speaking of this, Ollivander was worried.

When Chu Yang heard this, he immediately replied: "Don't worry, if nothing else, I can get unicorn hair."

Ollivander glared at him angrily, "Do you think unicorns are cats or dogs raised in your house? Although unicorns are considered a relatively good-tempered type among magical creatures, it doesn't mean they will let you approach them easily!"

"Females are okay, but if a male appears around a unicorn, it will run away immediately. Even if you add two more legs, you won't be able to catch up!"

Chu Yang was too lazy to argue with an old man, especially an old man of this age.

He pulled an empty suitcase from under the cabinet, and while Ollivander turned to organize the wand boxes, he cast Apparition and disappeared from the wand shop.

The next second, Chu Yang's figure appeared in the Forbidden Forest. Not far away was a towering tree, and under the tree was a group of unicorns playing. The scene looked peaceful and serene.

The unicorns discovered Chu Yang, and instead of scattering and fleeing, they rushed toward Chu Yang in groups.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yang was surrounded by a bunch of unicorns.

The unicorns rubbed their heads against him affectionately, just like cats and dogs raised at home.

If an expert in magical creatures saw this scene, they would probably stare their eyes out.

"Okay, okay, stop rubbing." Chu Yang used his hand to push away the unicorns' heads, wanting to avoid their saliva, "Which of you has been losing hair seriously recently? Make a contribution to me, I need some hair."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the unicorns, as if they had stepped on an electric switch, jumped up and down, wanting to shake some hair off their bodies.

Chu Yang didn't even have time to speak, and hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the hair.

"Where did this kid run off to again?"

Ollivander searched the warehouse for a long time before finding some unicorn hair, but when he came out, he found that Chu Yang was gone, and he was a little angry.

"Mr. Ollivander, are you looking for me?" Chu Yang appeared abruptly beside Ollivander and handed the suitcase over.

"What is this?" Ollivander took the suitcase from Chu Yang's hand in confusion. It was heavy and quite heavy.

"Unicorn hair." Chu Yang replied.

"I don't know where you got this box of hair, I reiterate, unicorn hair is not that easy..."

Before Ollivander finished speaking, the half-open suitcase emitted a glowing light, as bright as moonlight. He was very familiar with this light, so he closed the suitcase without thinking.

He swallowed and asked cautiously: "Do you really have a group of unicorns at home?"

Naruto World.

The "Tailed Beast Capture Plan" was nearing its end. Except for the Nine-Tails, whose exact location was unknown, and the Eight-Tails, which had escaped capture several times, the other tailed beasts had been successfully sealed.

The plan, which should have been smooth sailing, had some accidents.

Although Konoha had tried hard to block the news when capturing the tailed beasts before, it was eventually discovered by ninja forces from other countries.

Konoha's strength already suppressed other ninja villages, and now the news of capturing tailed beasts had spread, causing panic and suspicion for a time.

Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire couldn't bear the pressure and sent people to ask if the news was true. Helplessly, Hashirama Senju had to come forward personally to explain and make the idea of distributing tailed beasts public.

Because of this, the Five Kage Summit had to be held in advance, and the location was chosen in the Land of Lightning.

Tobirama Senju took over all the official duties of the Hokage when Hashirama Senju left, and Yuzhi Bo Quannai, as the leader of the Anbu, accompanied Hashirama Senju to the Land of Lightning to attend the meeting as a bodyguard.

Hashirama Senju showed his trust in the Uchiha clan as always.

And Yuzhi Bo Quannai's departure left the Anbu command in the village vacant, especially the Anbu squad responsible for tracking tailed beasts, which had no commander.

This unit was usually personally responsible by Yuzhi Bo Quannai.

After careful consideration, Tobirama Senju decided to hand over the temporary command of the Anbu to Madara Uchiha.

But Grandpa Madara refused without hesitation.

"I'm only responsible for fighting tailed beasts, I don't care about anything else."

Grandpa Madara firmly refused this matter and became more and more Buddhist.

Now it was Tobirama Senju's turn to have a headache.

Konoha's talent reserve was quite good, but it was difficult to find suitable candidates for dealing with tailed beasts. After all, even Yuzhi Bo Quannai let the Eight-Tails escape several times.

After thinking about it, Tobirama Senju finally thought of a little bastard with wild imagination.

Ninja School.

Chu Yang was in class.

Today's lesson was intensive training in ninja tool throwing. Chu Yang took the students to the outdoor shooting range to practice throwing shuriken and kunai, two relatively common throwing objects.

The young Third Hokage still performed outstandingly. Despite being naughty, his talent was undeniable, and his grades in all aspects were among the best.

In contrast, Danzo Shimura, who was equally naughty, had much worse grades than the Third Hokage, and was only at a lower-middle level in the whole class.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both performed better than him.

Chu Yang was about to scold him and tell him to concentrate, when a teacher suddenly walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"The teacher wants to see me?" Chu Yang was surprised, but still put down his work.

After handing over the subsequent courses to the substitute teacher, Chu Yang rushed to the Hokage building. In the days when the First Hokage was away, Tobirama Senju stayed here almost 24 hours a day to handle official business.

"Teacher." Chu Yang pushed the door open and saw Tobirama Senju, who was bowing his head to process documents.

"Oh, you're here." Tobirama Senju exchanged a few pleasantries with Chu Yang, then pulled a scroll from the pile of documents at hand and handed it to Chu Yang, "Take a look at this first."

Chu Yang took the scroll from him, opened it, and read it carefully. After reading only a line or two, he frowned, "This is information about tailed beasts? And previous mission records."

"That's right." Tobirama Senju nodded, his fingers tapping the table lightly, "This should have been handed over to Yuzhi Bo Quannai, but as you know, he is not here now."

"So, this job is for me?" Chu Yang was in a dilemma. Dealing with bratty kids was much easier and safer than dealing with tailed beasts.

"Get ready and set off."

Tobirama Senju's understatement almost made Chu Yang go berserk.

Listen, is this human language? Those are the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, which are considered the top combat power in this world.

"Okay."

Complaining was complaining, but Chu Yang didn't refuse. Tobirama Senju's choice to let him take over must have his own considerations, and Chu Yang himself was also very suitable for this task.

Chu Yang's quick agreement made Tobirama Senju smile a little. He asked: "Are you not afraid of danger?"

Chu Yang smiled: "This is not as dangerous as the war between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan."

It's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. The horror of the human heart is far greater than that of tailed beasts.

"Actually, I have hoped that you would take over this matter from the beginning. If it can be completed successfully, your prestige in the village will be greatly improved. It is not too late to intervene now."

"The plan to weaken the Uchiha is very successful, but at the same time, their influence in Konoha village should be continuously reduced. Giving up the Anbu is a risky move, so we must be careful at all times."

Tobirama Senju reminded: "After this mission, until Yuzhi Bo Quannai and my big brother return from the Land of Lightning, you will temporarily take charge of the Anbu. During this period, do something, understand?"

Chu Yang nodded. He understood the meaning behind Tobirama Senju's words, which was to let him get familiar with Anbu's business in advance and plan for the future.

Subsequently, Tobirama Senju tested Chu Yang's progress in ninjutsu before letting him leave.

The next day, Chu Yang took three squads, a total of 12 Anbu members, and left Konoha together.

Their goal this time was the Eight-Tails. According to the mission records, the last place the Eight-Tails appeared was at the border between the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Fire.

Chu Yang inferred that the Eight-Tails should be in the Land of Waterfalls.

The Land of Waterfalls is a special country. Its geographical location is not good. It is surrounded by four countries. As long as a war starts, it will be attacked from both sides.

If it weren't for the many waterfalls in the country and many settlements hidden in the waterfalls, it is estimated that the people here would have a hard time living.

But it is such a country with a bad situation that it has its own ninja village earlier than other small countries!

You know, in this era when the five major countries have just established ninja villages, many countries cannot gather enough ninjas to establish ninja villages.

The ninja village of the Land of Waterfalls is similar to other settlements, also hidden behind the waterfall, in a state of shrinking and hiding.

Chu Yang felt that they were a bit sad.

After entering the Land of Waterfalls, Konoha's Anbu did not hide their whereabouts too much. In addition to the fact that the Anbu was established not long ago and their business ability was not very skilled, more of it stemmed from contempt for strength.

The war between the two major families had just ended not long ago, and most Konoha ninjas' values still upheld the worship of the strong, and the Uchiha clan was even more so.

As long as it didn't affect the mission, Chu Yang had no intention of restraining or educating his subordinates. If you are backward, you will be beaten. If you are not good, don't blame others for not giving face. This is an eternal truth.

The land area of the Land of Waterfalls is not large. With the foot speed of a ninja, it can walk through all the land in at most one week.

In order to save time, Chu Yang arranged for three Anbu squads to act separately. Their main task was to lock the tailed beast, not to fight the tailed beast head-on. Being careful would not be life-threatening.

This plan was opposed by some team members.

"Lord Yang, before the operation started, Lord Tobirama emphasized repeatedly that we should ensure your safety. This is the first priority, even more important than capturing the tailed beast!"

Although he understood the teacher's good intentions, this order felt a bit like caring too much in Chu Yang's view.

"If protecting me is more important than capturing the tailed beast, then what is the meaning of us coming here? Tourism?" Chu Yang said in a deep voice.

The team members looked at each other, and finally someone stood up and said with a hard scalp: "We must leave people to protect your safety."

Chu Yang looked at him deeply and asked coldly: "What is your name?"

The team members were startled, and then looked at the person who spoke with pity. A panic flashed in that person's eyes, as if he was afraid that Chu Yang would treat him as an eyesore who contradicted his superiors, but then he said firmly: "Uchiha Youto."

"Youto..." A smile suddenly appeared on Chu Yang's indifferent face, and he said in an approving tone: "Then trouble you to stay, others disperse according to the original plan."

Uchiha Youto showed an ecstatic expression.

The team members of the other two squads were stunned, and then realized that Chu Yang was testing them, and suddenly showed a look of regret.

Everyone realized one point.

This guy named Youto will definitely be reused after going back! "Pay attention to searching behind the waterfall!"

After listening to Chu Yang's last instruction, the team members dispersed in all directions with jealous expressions, quickly disappearing from Chu Yang's field of vision.

The only thing they can do now is to find the whereabouts of the tailed beast as soon as possible.

Only in this way can they win back a city.

After only Youto was left beside him, Chu Yang began to release his Observation Haki to investigate the Eight-Tails' aura.

As the top combat power in the Naruto world, the Eight-Tails' momentum is very powerful. Even if it deliberately hides its whereabouts at ordinary times, it will be very obvious under the perception of Observation Haki.

Late at night two days later.

In a cave inside a super-large waterfall, Chu Yang felt a very strong momentum. That momentum directly formed a behemoth with a bull's head and an octopus's body in his consciousness.

Eight-Tails Gyuki!

"Found it." Chu Yang turned to Youto beside him and said: "Notify others to gather here and send the news back to the village."

Looking at the huge waterfall like a hanging river in front of him, Youto shivered.

He sent the news out with some doubts using the Anbu's special contact method.

"Lord Yang, how did you determine that the Eight-Tails is here?" Youto asked cautiously.

"Intuition." Chu Yang said only two words, and there was no follow-up.

Youto now just wants to slap himself twice. If he had known to ask more, he wouldn't have sent the news rashly. If Lord Madara Uchiha came, how would he explain it? Chu Yang didn't notice Youto's regretful expression.

The Eight-Tails inside the cave seemed to have moved, and the water droplets splashing from the entire waterfall suddenly became intense.

"Pay attention to restraining your breathing and chakra."

Just after Chu Yang finished speaking, the waterfall in front of him seemed to be pulled away like a curtain, revealing a large blank area.

Behind the waterfall stood a huge shadow.

Youto's goosebumps rose all over his body. He looked at Chu Yang in disbelief. At this moment, he finally felt convinced.

The Eight-Tails didn't find them.

Instead, it used the moonlight to leave the cave where it was currently living. There was an inexplicable anxiety in its heart urging it to leave this place.

Just a light turn, the lake under the Eight-Tails suddenly set off a huge wave, flooding the surrounding ground, and almost affecting the position where Chu Yang and the others were hiding.

The Eight-Tails looked around, turned indifferently, and disappeared into the boundless night.

Until the Eight-Tails' figure gradually blurred, Youto said impatiently: "Lord Yang, let's chase it!"

Chu Yang didn't move, looking coldly at the front, "Wait a little longer."

Youto just wanted to persuade, the lake not far away began to ripple again, and the shadow in the darkness appeared again. Youto closed his mouth immediately when he saw this.

The Eight-Tails turned around and left in the completely opposite direction this time.

"Just now, was it trying to lure us out?" Youto looked at the Eight-Tails' back in disbelief.

"After being chased for so long, even a fool should be vigilant."

Chu Yang glanced at him with a frown, "How were you selected by the Anbu?"

Youto scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "In terms of combat... I am more confident."

Chu Yang's expression looked better.

Relying on the power of Observation Haki, Chu Yang kept wandering outside the Eight-Tails' perception range, following closely behind it.

Youto acted as a liaison, responsible for updating the Eight-Tails' dynamics to others in real time.

Another day passed.

The Eight-Tails seemed a little tired, did not continue to move forward, but found a creek valley, slowly walked into a deep pool, and sat down with its huge body.

The deep pool could not fully accommodate the Eight-Tails' body. It sat in it, exposing half of its body, just like an ordinary person lying in a bathtub. The scene looked a bit funny.

The Eight-Tails lying in the deep pool leaned against the mountain range behind it and gradually closed its eyes. At this time, all members of the Anbu squad had gathered around Chu Yang. Seeing that the time was ripe, he ordered: "Set up the barrier!"

After everyone took the order, they disappeared in front of Chu Yang instantly.

Three squads, a total of 12 people, surrounded the Eight-Tails from 12 different directions.

12 people formed seals at the same time. A moment later, 12 different rays of light shot into the sky and gathered into a polygonal diamond-shaped barrier.

"Next, I'll trouble you, Lord Madara Uchiha."

A black shadow leaped down from the waterfall and walked slowly toward the Eight-Tails with Chu Yang's voice.

Madara Uchiha smiled softly: "Not bad, kid, no wonder Hashirama and Tobirama value you so much. If you were a member of the Uchiha clan, I might also take you as a disciple."

Madara Uchiha's powerful chakra instantly woke up the Eight-Tails that had just fallen asleep. The latter stood up and let out a deafening roar.

The surroundings shook, and the river turned upside down, like the end of the world.

Chu Yang suddenly realized a problem... he shouldn't have stayed here. The aftermath of the battle between Madara Uchiha and the Eight-Tails could easily destroy everything around.

A miscalculation!

Too busy to appreciate the highest level of battle in the Naruto world, Chu Yang moved away from the battlefield at the fastest speed. The next second, he felt a heat wave coming from behind.

"Fire Style! Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Chu Yang looked back, but the sky full of fire made him unable to open his eyes, and the raging fire had the momentum to rush into the sky.

His heart tightened, and he didn't dare to delay, running to the edge of the barrier with all his strength.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the hair all over Chu Yang's body exploded. He hurriedly formed seals and raised barriers around him.

【Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence】

Seeming to feel that one wall was not enough, Chu Yang continuously transported chakra, and soon layer after layer of protection rose around him, layer upon layer.

On the other side, Grandpa Madara's "Majestic Destroyer Flame" submerged the Eight-Tails, and the latter was not to be outdone, using its huge tail to set off waves, constantly rolling, and finally evolving into a huge tsunami.

The fire screen and the tsunami collided, and the high-temperature water vapor erupted suddenly, rolling in. The trees and flowers on the surrounding cliffs withered rapidly the moment they touched the water vapor.

Grandpa Madara puffed up his chest and blew gently. The breeze blown from his mouth continued to expand, forming a strong hurricane, blowing away all the water vapor in front of him.

The first wall was destroyed by the high temperature as expected.

Grandpa Madara looked back at Chu Yang, then looked up and smiled: "I wanted to warm up, but it seems I don't have that much time to play with you. Let's end the battle early."

After saying that, Grandpa Madara actually summoned the complete Susanoo directly. An energy giant wearing armor rose from the ground to face the Eight-Tails, and its momentum was not at all inferior.

The Eight-Tails Gyuki seemed to feel the threat, let out another roar, opened its bloody mouth, and dark red chakra gathered into a ball.

Tailed Beast Bomb! Seeing this, Chu Yang hurriedly set up several more walls.

Grandpa Madara, who had many combat experiences with tailed beasts, knew the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb very well. Susanoo's four arms were fully unfolded, and the long sword in his hand was ready.

Hum hum hum~~~ There was a depressing vibration in the air, which was the movement made by the Eight-Tails compressing the Tailed Beast Bomb.

The 12 Anbu elites maintaining the barrier outside were all breathless by this terrifying depressing power.

Suddenly, the vibration stopped.

The Tailed Beast Bomb was spat out by the Eight-Tails.

It slid in the air like a cannonball, tearing out a breaking sound.

In the blink of an eye, it flew in front of Madara Uchiha.

The long sword in Susanoo's hand slashed down at the same time, slashing fiercely on the Tailed Beast Bomb. The violent energy fluctuation swept around like a tsunami. Under the shock of this power, the diamond-shaped barrier constantly appeared cracks, like a mirror about to break.

At this moment, Susanoo erupted with terrifying power, using the long sword to cut the Tailed Beast Bomb into four petals, which flew out in different directions.

One of the petals flew toward Chu Yang's position!

Damn it, can this be accidentally injured? Chu Yang looked at the Tailed Beast Bomb as big as a football field flying toward him, and couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart.

When the Tailed Beast Bomb fell, the dozen or so defenses he had worked so hard to set up were wiped out in an instant.

But fortunately, these walls also helped him block the aftermath of the Tailed Beast Bomb, so he didn't suffer any harm.

Opening his eyes again, only the devastated earth remained in front of Chu Yang.

Waterfalls, green mountains, trees, flowers... all had disappeared.

"This is almost comparable to a mushroom bomb..." Chu Yang swallowed. No wonder the power of tailed beasts was enough to affect the war between countries. How many ninjas could this Tailed Beast Bomb wipe out in an instant? Except for the incomplete Tailed Beast Bomb that fell on Chu Yang's side being blocked, the other Tailed Beast Bombs hit the barrier separately.

The strong impact made the whole barrier sway, and there were more and more cracks, which obviously couldn't last long.

The complete Susanoo and the Eight-Tails Gyuki started a close-quarters fight, with great movement. Such two behemoths, if placed in any city, would be a disaster.

"After the barrier is broken, find a way to curb the Eight-Tails' actions, otherwise, none of these three Anbu squads will survive."

The specification of the barrier used by the Anbu is not small, and it will definitely be backlashed after being violently broken.

In serious cases, it may cause casualties, but even if it is not the most extreme case, it will make most people lose their ability to act.

Chu Yang's Wood Style has a strong restraint effect on tailed beasts, which can play an unexpected role, but this also means that Chu Yang has to risk intervening in the battle between Madara Uchiha and the Eight-Tails.

The danger coefficient rises in a straight line.

"Youto is a good guy, it would be a pity to die here, and the teacher hopes that I will cultivate confidants in the Anbu. He is a good choice..."

Chu Yang thought while making full preparations.

As the battle between Susanoo and the Eight-Tails became more and more intense, the barrier could no longer withstand the aftermath of the two's battle, and collapsed with a crisp breaking sound.

The loss of control of chakra turned into a storm that swept everyone. All 12 Anbu members were severely injured and completely lost their ability to act.

Without shackles, the Eight-Tails Gyuki became more and more unscrupulous, as if it had entered a state of rage.

On the other hand, without the barrier, Madara Uchiha became the one who was tied up, because the aftermath of the two's battle could affect the Anbu members who had lost their ability to act at any time.

What should I do?

Madara Uchiha, who was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly saw Chu Yang coming this way from the corner of his eye.

What is he doing?

A flash of doubt flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes, and then he suddenly realized something and dispersed the long sword in his hand.

The Eight-Tails in rage swept all its tails toward Susanoo, tightly wrapped around it, and tried to drag Susanoo toward itself.

Susanoo's four arms grabbed the Eight-Tails' four tails respectively, and both sides began to compete.

In terms of strength, the tailed beast was slightly better, and Susanoo was dragged slowly.

Just at this time, Chu Yang had arrived at a position not far from the Eight-Tails, and the Eight-Tails in the fierce battle did not notice Chu Yang approaching it.

Chu Yang began to form seals.

He wanted to use the sealing technique in Wood Style to limit the Eight-Tails' movement. Of course, this was just a limitation. If he wanted to achieve the effect of sealing, he had to be performed by Hashirama Senju himself.

It had to be Hashirama Senju in Sage Mode.

As Chu Yang finished forming seals, a huge red torii gate appeared on the Eight-Tails' head, falling rapidly, and accurately landed on its eight tails.

This is the Wood Style's unique sealing technique for tailed beasts, the Gates of the Great God! The Gates of the Great God, which should have been performed in Sage Mode, was slightly modified by Chu Yang during his tenure at the school, making this ninjutsu performable even without Sage chakra.

The surging tailed beast chakra on the Eight-Tails suddenly stagnated, just like a vehicle on the highway suddenly stepped on the emergency brake.

The strong eight tails suddenly softened! With Chu Yang's current Wood Style level, it is already extremely difficult to limit the Eight-Tails without learning Sage Mode.

"Good opportunity!" Madara Uchiha let out a hearty laugh. Susanoo exerted force suddenly, pulled the Eight-Tails in front of him, took the opportunity to break free from the tail restraint, chakra gathered on his hands again, and the long sword appeared.

Under the control of Madara Uchiha, four long swords slashed toward the Eight-Tails' tails at the same time! The sound of muscle tearing sounded, the eight tails fell in response, and the painful Eight-Tails roared to the sky!

Madara Uchiha took advantage of the victory and did not give the Eight-Tails a chance to breathe, his scarlet Sharingan staring at the Eight-Tails in an extremely weak state.

A moment later, the Eight-Tails stopped struggling, and its eyes gradually became numb and empty.

Chu Yang understood that the Eight-Tails had been controlled by the Sharingan. Next, Madara Uchiha would seal it and then hand it over to a suitable candidate to become a jinchuriki.

The war settled, and the Anbu members regained their ability to act after a period of rest.

Everyone came to Madara Uchiha, and without saying a word, they knelt down one by one, with ashamed faces behind their masks.

"Lord Madara, it's all our fault for not maintaining the barrier, adding a lot of trouble to your battle!"

"Lord Madara, please punish our incompetence!"

The words of apology were endless, and the indifferent Grandpa Madara only felt that the guys in front of him were noisy, and said impatiently: "With your ability, you can also stay in the Anbu? Thinking that Konoha's safety has to be guarded by you guys, I really find it hard to feel at ease."

Hearing this, the heads of the 12 Anbu members were buried lower. Chu Yang felt that if Grandpa Madara continued to speak, they would bury themselves in the ground alive.

"Thank Senju Yang well. If he hadn't sealed the Eight-Tails' actions in time, at least half of you guys would have become corpses!"

After speaking, Grandpa Madara snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Chu Yang, and there was finally a smile on his indifferent face, "If I didn't read it wrong, the ninjutsu just now should be the Gates of the Great God that Hashirama just developed not long ago. When did he teach it to you?"

Chu Yang smiled and played a sloppy eye, explaining: "Lord Hokage didn't teach me, I learned it secretly by myself."

He didn't even know the specific time when Hashirama Senju learned Sage Mode, so he could only fool it.

But fortunately, Grandpa Madara had heard of Chu Yang's talent, so he didn't doubt his statement.

Grandpa Madara asked curiously: "Hashirama's Gates of the Great God needs to be activated in a special state, but when you performed it just now, it seemed to break this limitation. Did Tobirama Senju help you make the changes?"

Chu Yang hesitated, but shook his head, "Not the teacher, I made some adjustments myself."

Hearing this, Grandpa Madara looked at Chu Yang for a long time, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face.

"If possible, I really want to snatch you from the Senju clan..."

After the Eight-Tails capture plan was successfully completed, Chu Yang took the Anbu squad back to Konoha for repairs.

Grandpa Madara, who returned to the village first, handed the sealed Eight-Tails to Tobirama Senju for processing.

At this point, most of the tailed beasts had been sealed by Konoha, and only the Nine-Tails had no news yet.

After this operation, Chu Yang was also recognized in the Anbu, and his reputation gradually spread.

Some Anbu members led by Youto began to get closer to Chu Yang, plus the push of the "Root" secretly established by Tobirama Senju, the matter of cultivating power in the Anbu went more smoothly than Chu Yang expected.

The Anbu problem is going smoothly, but for Chu Yang, capturing the Nine-Tails next is the highlight.

Because the Anbu squad did not play the expected effect in the head-on battle with the Eight-Tails before, Madara Uchiha suggested that they withdraw from the action of capturing the Nine-Tails.

That is to say, capturing the Nine-Tails became a matter for Chu Yang and Madara Uchiha.

For Grandpa Madara's love, Chu Yang was flattered.

But he refused in his heart. The scene of the Tailed Beast Bomb destroying the world last time was still vivid.

Seriously, if you get hit by that thing, you might not even be able to find your ashes.

Therefore, Chu Yang expressed strong opposition in front of Tobirama Senju.

Facing Chu Yang's resistance, Tobirama Senju couldn't force it, so the Nine-Tails capture plan was temporarily shelved.

Demon Slayer World.

After completing a large number of demon hunting missions, Chu Yang fully mastered the state of Sun Breathing Full Concentration Constant Middle. Judging from the level of breathing method, Chu Yang is already a Pillar-level swordsman.

Of course, in terms of actual combat power, Chu Yang is far beyond the highest level in this world. Even if Yoriichi Tsugikuni is reborn, it is difficult to take advantage of him.

At this moment, if Muzan Kibutsuji dared to appear in front of Chu Yang, he would face a swordsman countless times more terrifying than Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

During this time, Chu Yang was almost killing demons day and night, and the number was about to reach 50.

This also led to him being known to everyone in the entire Demon Slayer Corps, becoming the hottest new swordsman.

Even Kagaya Ubuyashiki was considering whether to promote him to Pillar level.

Chu Yang's rapid rise not only attracted the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also attracted the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji.

However, because Chu Yang had never used Sun Breathing when hunting demons, Muzan was only a little curious about him and didn't have too much attention on him.

But this doesn't mean others don't care about Chu Yang's performance.

"I heard from other demons that the newcomer's physical fitness is very powerful, almost comparable to us. I don't believe it, so I want to try it." Akaza, Upper Moon Three, said so.

His tone felt high and mighty, as if looking down at Chu Yang from the clouds, regarding him as an ant.

Among the Twelve Demon Moons, all demons have the same idea. In their cognition, demons are the manifestation of human evolution, and humans themselves are a race eliminated by nature.

"I am also very curious about what kind of person can hunt such a large number of demons in such a short time. If you find him, please be sure to notify me to watch the battle."

Doma, Upper Moon Two, covered his mouth with a fan and smiled softly.

Akaza didn't even look at him, with a look of disdain.

It wasn't a day or two that he looked down on Doma.

Akaza likes to fight against the strong, and he is stronger when he meets the strong. Therefore, he can't look down on Doma, who hunts women and children all day long, thinking that the other party lacks the dignity of being a demon.

After Upper Moon Two and Upper Moon Three expressed their interest in Chu Yang, in the eyes of other demons, Chu Yang was already a dead man and had no value to pay attention to.

Including Muzan Kibutsuji, who thought so.

And Chu Yang didn't know that he had been targeted by Akaza and Doma. He had just completed a mission and was on his way to the Butterfly Mansion.

Under the situation of high-intensity hunting of demons, Chu Yang rarely returned to the temple where he practiced with Gyomei Himejima.

The reason is simple, he has no time to cook, and he is too lazy to cook. Gyomei Himejima often has to go out to inspect the movements of demons, and only he is left in the temple.

Instead of guarding the broken temple alone, Chu Yang felt that it was better to come to the Butterfly Mansion for food. As a place for the wounded to recuperate, the food in the Butterfly Mansion was delicious and nutritious, and the quantity was particularly large, which could withstand Chu Yang's creation.

The Butterfly Mansion also welcomed Chu Yang very much. Almost everyone here regarded Chu Yang as an idol. After all, apart from him, few people in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps could slaughter such a large number of demons in a short time.

In addition to worship, many new swordsmen would humbly ask Chu Yang for advice. Whether it was experience in dealing with enemies or sword skills, they could learn a lot.

Makomo, who was recuperating in the Butterfly Mansion, regained part of her ability to act.

She didn't want to stay in the hospital bed all the time, so she provided some help within her power in the Butterfly Mansion, easing the pressure on Shinobu Kocho as Kanae's assistant.

Her teacher, Sakonji Urokodaki, had never been to the Butterfly Mansion once.

Makomo was waiting for him to see her.

Chu Yang pushed open the door of the Butterfly Mansion and happened to meet Kanae Kocho who was about to go out. The two met face to face.

Kanae was as beautiful as ever, and her gestures were elegant and gentle.

"Where is Senior Kanae going?" Chu Yang looked at the other party curiously. Not long ago, Kanae asked him to call her senior and not to call her Lord rigidly.

"It's you." Kanae smiled gently: "I heard that you have killed a lot of demons recently. At this speed, next time we meet, maybe you will be crowned with the title of Pillar like me."

"That doesn't matter. Whether I become a Pillar or not, it won't delay me from killing demons." Chu Yang smiled, and then continued to ask: "You haven't said where you are going yet?"

"Of course, performing a mission!" Kanae sighed: "I have to treat the wounded and perform missions. Sometimes I think, it's really busy. If this continues, I will really retire early."

Chu Yang knew that Kanae was pretending. In fact, she enjoyed the current state more than anyone else, but he was too lazy to expose her.

Most people in the Demon Slayer Corps complained, but their determination to kill demons was extremely tough.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey!"

"Thank you."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they passed by each other, but after walking a few steps, Chu Yang suddenly felt a palpitation and turned back suddenly.

What came into view was Kanae's back moving forward slowly, looking so weak, like a willow catkin in the wind, which would be destroyed by the storm at any time.

Chu Yang's heart felt like a big stone was blocking it, indescribably awkward.

Looking at Kanae Kocho's back traveling alone, Chu Yang had a bad premonition and couldn't help but blurt out: "Senior, if you feel bored, I can accompany you."

Kanae's footsteps paused, and she turned back in surprise, as if she didn't expect Chu Yang to say such things, but immediately, a playful smile appeared on her face.

She looked at Chu Yang with a smile.

Chu Yang didn't know why he said this, he scratched his head and said awkwardly: "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Who knew Kanae smiled sweetly and said: "Performing a mission alone is indeed a bit boring..."
