--- Chapter 451 ---

Yunlong has some lackeys-! I mean, subordinates do some stuff for him now.

However, he still had to spread the basics of Spirit Masters' cultivation and fully transform the atmosphere to accommodate Spirit Energy.

In the end, he still needs to do the heavy stuff.

Thankfully, Ah Yin has covered him in the terraforming part and planted 50% of the Shinobi World's planet with her Blue Silver Grass. All Yunlong needs to do is borrow her link.

He stared at Naruto and Sasuke, "Okay, let's do this."

"Naruto, contact the other villages and tell them about my proposal."

"You can also tell them about the Otsutsuki Invasion and let them choose the side they are on. Remember, I only give them one chance to give up and surrender."

"Got it..." Naruto answered helplessly.

They really have no other option.

Although Naruto doesn't know how Yunlong ruled a domain, he at least can be reasoned with compared to those Otsutsuki Clan's members.

Yunlong also gave them more things like the Spirit Master System and otherworldly knowledge than the Otsutsuki Clan, who would just come and rob them.

Comparing two sides is like comparing hell to heaven.

"As for you, Sasuke. Your job is to gather all the talented people you know."

"Talented in what field exactly?" Sasuke frowned slightly.

Yunlong smiled, "Anything and everything."

"You can even invite Orochimaru."

"I heard he wasn't as creepy as he used to be anymore..."

"I guess being a parent softens him up, huh?"

"Okay..." Sasuke's mouth twitched.

He doesn't want to hear anything about Orochimaru from Yunlong's mouth.

"Orochimaru probably has learned about your arrival by now. His network is quite powerful."

"Hehe, more guys to abuse. Ehem. I mean, more ally is good." Yunlong cleared his throat.

'No, no, no. You don't get away with that by just coughing.' Naruto and Sasuke were speechless.

They are pretty sure Yunlong talked about abusing someone.

This guy is up to no good.

Yunlong's face is really thick. He doesn't care about Naruto and Sasuke's gaze at all.

He glanced at Naruto's stomach and commented, "By the way..."

"I can get Kurama to transform into a human and cultivate as well."

"However, it is up to you guys to decide that."

"I know it's hard to separate with partners who have been together ever since you were small."

Naruto looked down on his abdomen and smiled, "We will talk it through first."

"Right, Kurama?"

'Yeah.' Kurama was a bit emotional.

They didn't doubt Yunlong's ability because he could turn ordinary sea creatures into humans.

His perspective is questionable, though.

"Do contact other Jinchuriki and their Tailed Beasts. My offer is the same for them." Yunlong nodded, to which Naruto responded with a nod.

"Okay, let's awaken your Martial Soul first."

"Your first is a bit random, so don't expect fancy stuff."

"We understand." Naruto and Sasuke already experienced what it feels like to be a Spirit Master.

"Spirit Awakening!" Yunlong grabbed Naruto and Sasuke's heads, injecting the Divinity of Miracle into their bodies.

Naruto and Sasuke groaned and felt their bodies contort all over the place in the presence of Yunlong's Divine Energy. It felt like Yunlong just pulled a piece of their soul and stuffed it back into place.

After three seconds, Yunlong left them alone with their device.

Sasuke opened his eyes slowly and stared at the Martial Soul in his left hand. A small smile formed on his face because this was unexpected.

"A bow, huh?"

Yes, Sasuke awakened a Tool-type Martial Soul, Bow.

It's an ordinary-looking bow made of brown-colored bamboo. Something Sasuke is very familiar with because he always used a Bow and Arrow when hunting with his older brother.

Meanwhile, Naruto stared at his right hand in confusion.

It was empty.

"There is nothing in my hand..." He mumbled while giving Yunlong a questioning look.

Yunlong chuckled, "What a fool. Look at your back."

"Woah, what is this?" Naruto glanced back and saw an orangish shadowy figure wearing something similar to his Seventh Hokage's cape.

"I don't think there is a type of Martial Soul like this."

"Right?"

Yunlong shook his head calmly and replied, "Fortunately, there is."

"Your Martial Soul is considered a variant. It is a Beast-type Martial Soul that appears like a summon."

"Or you could say, the manifestation of the Shadow Clone Technique you have used your whole life."

"You're lucky."

"The manifestation of the Shadow Clone Technique..." A weak smile appeared on Naruto's face. "I guess that'd explain it, huh?"

"Also, Sasuke. Your Martial Soul isn't just a bow." Yunlong commented casually.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Sasuke was confused by his words. He didn't sense anything different from his body.

Yunlong smiled and pointed, "Check your neck."

Sasuke instinctively touched his neck and felt a little squirmish there. It was the same feeling when he still had the Cursed Mark.

But how is that even possible?

Yunlong scanned Sasuke with his system and said, "The bow is just the extension of your real Martial Soul. The true form of it is Tengu."

"However, unlike Naruto, your Tengu Martial Soul is pure Beast-type Martial Soul."

"I see..." Sasuke nodded in understanding.

"Sasuke, your Martial Soul sounds cool!" Naruto couldn't help but praise.

Sasuke stared at the orangish shadow behind Naruto and replied, "Yours is not bad either."

Who would have thought their long-ended rivalry would get ignited?

Both rivals could compete again.

Yunlong clapped his hand, "Okay, now I give you two choices."

"Would you like to go on the traditional path of Spirit Master?"

"Or a newly developed path I made?"

"The latter." Naruto and Sasuke answered at the same time. They have learned about the Artificial Soul and knew how overpowered it was.

Not to mention, the Artificial Soul would provide a better-suited Spirit Ring for their Martial Soul. Also, hunting Spirit Beasts for Spirit Rings sounds like a pain for Naruto and Sasuke.

The advantage is clear to them.

Yunlong snapped his finger casually and summoned two bland Artificial Souls before shoving them into Naruto and Sasuke.

After that, Yunlong charged them fully with the power of the universe and made a pact between them.

Although Yunlong doesn't know how much energy is 'absolutely' required for these Artificial Souls to mature, they should be strong enough to allow Naruto and Sasuke to reach the Title Douluo Realm.

Yunlong observed Naruto's Artificial Soul changing into that of a mythical-looking frog with a sage-like robe and staff and provided Naruto with his first Black Spirit Ring.

On the other side, Sasuke's Artificial Soul transformed into that of a silver-feathered hawk with three pairs of mighty wings and silver lightning and provided Sasuke with his first Black Spirit Ring.

Yunlong believed they could get a red spirit ring from their Artificial Soul if not for their unbalanced foundation.

"Okay, chop, chop. I will send you guys out." Yunlong said suddenly.

"You can return to the Land of Snow in three days."

"Here, your teleportation coordinates."

Naruto and Sasuke received platinum-colored needles each. They heard of Yunlong's needle before, so they accepted this graciously.

Then, Yunlong teleported Naruto and Sasuke to the Land of Fire.

Watching Naruto and Sasuke vanish from the Land of Spring, Yunlong glanced at Kaguya and Gu Yuena, finding them snacking on veggies that Kaguya had taken from the hotpot restaurant.

"You're being too generous, you know?" Gu Yuena commented while chewing on a perilla leaf.

"Don't talk while eating." Yunlong sighed helplessly.

"Also, I'm just giving them incentive to work harder."

"There is no way they could demonstrate my kindness to others if I didn't awaken their Martial Soul first, no?"

"Don't worry. Sooner or later, the people of this world would come to fawn over us."

"You're giving them carrots before the stick..." Kaguya analyzed the situation perfectly. "You are going to make a black sheep of someone later."

"So that's how it is..." Gu Yuena smirked wickedly. "Yunlong, you're such a bad man."

Yunlong shrugged, "I wonder who the unlucky person is..."

On the Land of Fire's border, a snake-like man sat in his lab and read the report in his hand.

"Sword God?" His golden slitted eyes flashed.

"Hohoho, this is going to be interesting."
