Sealed Again and Warring States.

"Hmmm...." Yoichi mused, "So this is the box; it looks like a combination of Yin and Yang Release with a Chakra metal composition... Wow, a 75% Yin and a 25% Yang Release attribute!"

Analyzing the four demon-like faces on each side with gentle knocks, rough Sage Taijutsu, and many more, Yoichi studied the Box of Ultimate Bliss like a scientist on site while the Tailed Beasts looked at him with curiosity and plain confusion on their faces.

"What do you think he's doing?" Shukaku whispered, and the others shrugged their shoulders until Gyuki replied with crossed arms:

"I have no idea... Maybe he's trying to stumble upon some interesting ideas or find a way to seal it? From our earlier encounter, it's considerably deadlier in the hands of ambitious humans!"

Gyuki's response made sense as the others bobbed in unison, agreeing with his statement except for Kurama, who wore a frowning fox face.

"Yoichi! Let's destroy that thing! That square thing reeks of malice towards us!" Kurama snarled as the negative emotions pushed his sense of malice to the point it was unbearable near the box.

"Oh, can you attack this box with your claws?" Rubbing his chin, Yoichi beseeched Kurama for help. The orange fox didn't mind and blasted his claws with all his might, yet it barely even produced a scratch on the indestructible container.

"Tch! What stupid being created this unbreakable thing?! As if it was developed by that old man who threw away the package like discarded trash!" Kurama's grumbling caused Yoichi's mind to spiral into something deeper regarding Hagoromo's prolific ability.

From the Amber Purifying Pot, the Seven Star Sword, the Banana Palm Fan, the Golden Canopy Rope, and the Crimson Gourd to the infamous Box of Ultimate Bliss. Perhaps Kurama's wild assumption might have some truth to it. After all, Hagoromo's twisted yet powerful dedication has the right to create something as strong as this failed yet destructive invention.

"I'll seal this thing inside the [Training Domain]... It's dangerous to try to shut it down here with the people living in this land." After his absurd claims, Yoichi left the scene with the box in tow.

Assumptions will always be just that without any evidence and proper procedure. Likewise, trying to find faults in a deceased person wasn't productive or constructive in his mind.

"Next is sealing you all back into your lairs!" After stuffing the box inside, Yoichi clapped his hands and proceeded slowly but surely.

"What?! But we only got to see the world for a few months! Can you please consider it?"

In response to the shocking declaration, Chomei begged Yoichi while the rest nodded enthusiastically.

Getting sealed once again in the infinite expanse was a completely boring experience for the Tailed Beasts. Like drug addicts, they craved freedom as if it were a blissful drug, with no other wishes for anything else.

"You all are making this hard for me..." Yoichi added. "Remember the task of the Sage and his prophecy; we have had a good time, but it's time to go."

Hearing his words, the Tailed Beasts lowered their heads in submission, unwilling expressions glinting in their eyes. However, Yoichi's decision was final. All they had to do was enjoy the remaining time with him for a brief but memorable experience together.

"HAHAHAHA! So this is your shrine? It looks comparable to your power, weak! Hah!" Returning to the desert house, Kurama mocked Shukaku, who was on the verge of exploding, glaring at Kurama with venomous eyes and said:

"Yoichi! Decimate this playful fox! The gigantic palm wasn't enough to curb this smelly fox's fiery temperament!"

Repeatedly shaken by the Tanuki, Yoichi shook his head. "Alright, stop your nonsense. Shukaku, get inside the kettle..."

"See you soon, Yoichi..."

Concealing his feelings, Shukaku stepped inside confidently, while the others hung their heads, momentarily filled with sadness. Even though they could connect within the psychic plane, Yoichi's impact served as a vital link among the Tailed Beasts.

Before long, the Tailed Beasts were sealed one by one, from the weakest to the strongest, until it was Kurama's turn.

"Take care, Kurama..." Yoichi gently stroked the orange fox. "You're going to face some tough times ahead, so get ready."

'What does that even mean?'

"Hmph!" Kurama sighed and pretended to be irritated before heading into his shrine.

After that, Yoichi walked away from the shrine, feeling solitary once more.

"I will take the kid for 10,000 Ryō, anyone else who dares to outbid me will die!"

"11,000 Ryō! Don't talk nonsense with your stupid mouth here!"

"12,000 Ryō! Hah! As if you are any better than him!"

'What the hell is going on here?'

After dying multiple times, Yoichi's frail infant body woke up in the loud noises in the surroundings. The atmosphere of the environment felt so boisterous and unruly with the people talking to each other and bantering as if a cinema theater.

Every boisterous individual bore scars and had their arms crossed, eyeing the specific boy with a seasoned gaze as if assessing him.

'Wait, am I being put up for auction? What the heck?!'

Feeling the energy of the people around him, Yoichi was taken aback. In the back row, there was a lively group that, though noisy, was frankly engaged. Meanwhile, the front row held a commanding presence, adorned with clan symbols that reflected their noble lineage.

Aburame, Inuzuka, and Hyūga...

Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi...

Hagoromo, Uchiha, and Senju...

Although the faces aren't familiar in Yoichi's memories, the clan insignia doesn't lie in his senses.

It is the Warring States Period!

'Yet, I am here being auctioned by someone else!"

"Congratulations to the Murakami Clan! 20,000 Ryō for this chubby and youthful child!' An announcer went on his way to deliver Yoichi to the winner of the auction.

'Hmmm... Coincidence? Probably not!'

Hearing the announcement, Yoichi sensed a lily aroma as a beautiful woman hugged him into her embrace. On her side, a stone-cold man melted in an instant while looking at Yoichi's countenance.

"Not crying even in my presence and a healthy boy without any other negative diseases!" the man nodded repeatedly. He felt that buying the child was surely beneficial for his declining family.

"Husband, look at his eyes! His golden eyes look incredible, and he didn't cry! What should we name this child then?" A gentle lady toyed with Yoichi's cheeks and felt grateful while glancing at her spouse a little until she smiled at Yoichi's cute countenance.

"Congratulations, Machi-san! It's a huge pleasure to see you here, especially with your newly adopted son! Nice to meet you, Miruko-san. You look lovely after all these years!" A man arrived with his greetings yet Yoichi felt something unusual about him.

"Oh, Kosuke-san! It's great to have you here! What about your spouse, Manami? Is she alright? I guessed that you overworked your wife at home! HAHAHAHA!" A hearty laugh from Machi made Kosuke twitch his eyebrows until he recovered back to his calm behavior.

"Eh? Why does he have slightly dark skin? Did someone plaster poop all over his body?" On Kosuke's side, a child innocently tilted his head with a smile.

'What does this child mean? Is he mocking me right now?! That smile felt wicked to me! Hehehe, take this, you motherfucker!' Anger clouded Yoichi's mind as he swapped the child's ration pill for an aphrodisiac, designed for something sinister.

"Sasuke Sarutobi!" Kosuke slapped his naughty child while inwardly laughing at Machi's and Miruko's expressions. "We have to take our leave, Machi-san and Miruko-san! My clan has many things to do in the meantime... Farewell."

'Heh, not apologizing, huh? Well, take this farewell gift with my love.' Yoichi swapped again for an aphrodisiac in Kosuke's pocket. Using [Universal Swap: Forced] felt good as he handled this father-son duo with ease.

"Do not take the child's attempt seriously, Miruko. We will try to find ways to get our revenge in the future! For now, let's head back home and feed the little guy here." Consoling his downcast wife, Machi clenched his fist until he calmed down. It has been recorded inside his retaliation diary in his mind.

'Huuuuhhh! Finally, I am out of that shit! Auctioning an infant in this era felt so freaking weird! Akashic, updates on my rebirth count please.'

[Affirmative.]

[Remaining Rebirth Count: 142.]

After his eventful retreat with the Tailed Beast Gang, Yoichi invented a device to infinitely produce explosive tags using the Yin-Yang Release of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Currently, the chakra inside the box is converted into the seal printer as a way of manufacturing explosive tags. Soon, Konan's 600 billion explosive tags are going to be surpassed by Yoichi's infinite supply.

In current times, he noticed the Uchiha clan and Senju clan. As for how the Hagoromo Clan was built, it consists of the remnants of devout followers of the Sage of Six Paths, just like the Kaguya Clan.

'It's perfectly fitted into my plot! Being renowned here would make sense. Hashirama, Madara... Born as soon as possible! HAHAHAHA!'
