Hizashi Hyuga's Borrowed Might

"Of course I hope these are just speculations... because if these speculations are true, Konoha and the Shinobi World will face an unprecedented crisis."

Tsunade's voice was very tired. No one hoped more than her that these were just speculations or that someone was deliberately framing her.

Shizune looked at Tsunade with worry in her eyes. In the year or so since Tsunade returned to Konoha, although she had cheered herself up and inherited the ideals of her lover and younger brother, she had also shouldered heavy responsibilities and was no longer as carefree and happy as before.

"Don't worry!"

Tsunade laughed freely and said loudly, "The current situation is not yet beyond saving, and I will never let my grandfather's ideals be ruined in my hands!"

Hyuga residence.

After returning from the Nara Clan, Hinata immediately slipped back to her bedroom.

Hinata may have always been too lazy to deal with these troublesome matters, but she's not completely clueless.

In my previous life, I lived in the information-exploding 21st Century. Even if I hadn't eaten pork, I had at least seen pigs run.

Shikamaru's little scheme from Hinata.

However, some things are ultimately unavoidable; if you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something else.

Hinata has always preferred to let things take their natural course, taking it one step at a time. Overthinking only adds to one's burdens and makes life more tiring.

Moreover, in just over a year, everything will be settled.

'Click!'

Hinata nodded with satisfaction after assembling the puppet's mechanisms.

Once you find the rules for making puppets, making puppets is actually not difficult.

Spaceships may seem complex, but if they are made using Puppet Technique, all that is needed is to use repulsive force, gravity, and Chakra system to make them fly in space.

But the speed of flight... well, it's hard to describe.

To travel in space, the ability to move through space is essential. For Hinata, however, the spaceship is merely a temporary resting place.

Activating the Tenseigan, a spherical puppet slowly floated in mid-air. With Chakra ejected from its tail, the spherical puppet moved slowly according to Hinata's will.

"That's fine!"

Hyuga Hiashi's study.

"Brother!"

Hizashi Hyuga looked at Hyuga Hiashi with a worried expression and said in a solemn tone, "Since Danzo's death, although the village has stopped targeting our Hyuga Clan, I always have a feeling that the Fifth Hokage seems to be even more wary of us."

Hizashi Hyuga had absolute faith in his brother's wisdom and methods, but worried that Hyuga Hiashi, being too caught up in the situation, might fail to see the true state of the village and lead the clan into an unpredictable abyss.

"I know!"

After brewing the tea, Hyuga Hiashi poured a cup for himself and Hizashi Hyuga, and said in a calm and unhurried tone, "I called you here today to talk to you about this matter."

Hizashi Hyuga asked in a deep voice, "How does elder brother plan to deal with this?"

Hyuga Hiashi calmly took a sip of tea and said slowly, "What I am about to say is only for you to hear, and must not be known to a third party."

Hizashi Hyuga nodded and said, "I understand!"

Hyuga Hiashi closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them wide!

"This is..."

His originally pure white pupils turned into blue, wavy eyes. Unlike the hazy look of the Byakugan, these eyes were filled with the condescending gaze of a superior being towards a lower being, making Hizashi Hyuga very uncomfortable.

"This is the Rinnegan!!!"

Hizashi Hyuga had naturally read the information about the Rinnegan, and the description of the Rinnegan in the information was exactly the same as that of Hyuga Hiashi's eyes.

"Could it be... could it be that my brother is the mastermind behind Akatsuki?"

Hyuga Hiashi: "..."

Hizashi Hyuga shocked. If Hyuga Hiashi was the mastermind behind Akatsuki, then...

Hyuga Hiashi asked, "The mastermind behind Akatsuki?"

"That's not entirely wrong... but I'm not the leader of Akatsuki, that's a different pair of Rinnegan!"

Hyuga Hiashi felt that since Hinata had already begun cooperating with the person behind Akatsuki, it wouldn't be wrong for him, as Hinata's father, to say that he was the mastermind behind Akatsuki.

"Brother... what exactly do you want to do?"

Hizashi Hyuga's forehead was covered in sweat, his eyes fixed on Hyuga Hiashi.

Only today did Hizashi Hyuga suddenly realize that he had never really understood his older brother. Thinking of the composed and self-assured Hyuga Hiashi of the past, who seemed to have everything under control, Hizashi Hyuga suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were slightly closed, and his Rinnegan transformed into the Byakugan once again.

"What I want to do... is to lead the Hyuga Clan away from the profession of ninja and live in this world in a new way."

"Ninjas... all along, ninjas have been nothing more than tools for killing! Even the Konoha Ninja are just slaves driven by money. Anyone can make ninjas risk their lives for them as long as they pay a fee!"

"Regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, and no matter the reason, as long as those powerful and wealthy pay money, we must serve them, even at the cost of our lives."

"In this village, from the lowest-ranking Genin to the Hokage, everyone is bound by the word 'ninja' and constrained by the ninja code."

"But is this kind of life really fair to us?"

Hyuga Hiashi was unusually excited, but he quickly calmed down.

"A few days ago, Hinata told me that she had found a way to increase the strength of the entire Hyuga clan. Once this plan is launched, our Hyuga Clan will completely break free from the fate of ninjas and become a true... a true God Clan."

"Hizashi! The Fifth Hokage's attitude is no longer important. I called you here today to discuss the future plans of the Hyuga Clan."

Hizashi Hyuga stared at Hyuga Hiashi with shock in his eyes. If Hyuga Hiashi's words today were to be publicized, the Hyuga Clan would definitely become the target of public criticism.

When exactly the ninja way of life began is no longer important.

But as Hyuga Hiashi said, ninjas are tools driven by money; anyone can make ninjas work for them as long as they pay.

The education Hizashi Hyuga received from a young age meant he had never considered this issue.

Perhaps to most ninjas, earning commissions by completing missions is simply a matter of course.

It's just like working; you earn wages by putting in labor. It's the simplest of principles.

However, many people seem to have forgotten that ninjas possess power.

When the Ninja Code no longer binds ninjas, ninjas will become the mainstream of this world and the force that controls it.

"Brother... have you... made up your mind?"

Hizashi Hyuga said with difficulty, "You should know that once we make this decision, the future of the Hyuga Clan will be shrouded in mystery."

"Now... even though many people are dissatisfied with their current lives, at least their safety can be guaranteed!"

"Besides, the rules of ninjas are not wrong!"
