Father, You've Gone Completely Bad

In the world of ninjas, the strong ultimately reign supreme.

As long as the Hyuga Clan remains powerful, no one will dare to the Hyuga Clan in the slightest.

Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of what Hizashi Hyuga had said; it was just that as the Hyuga Hiashi of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi Hyuga carried the weight of the clan's rise and fall, honor and disgrace. Facing an uncertain future, the burden on Hyuga Hiashi was simply too heavy.

Hizashi Hyuga continued to comfort him, "Brother, why don't you consider this: if Madara Uchiha hadn't left Konoha, would the Uchiha clan have faced such a calamity?"

"The First Hokage had always wanted to Uchiha clan. If Madara Uchiha hadn't insisted on his own way, there wouldn't have been the battle at the Valley of the End."

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "Alright!"

After a pause, Hyuga Hiashi continued, "Hizashi, in the next few days, select a group of elites from the branch family. Once things are settled with Hinata, start with these people!"

Hizashi Hyuga nodded and said, "Yes!"

So-called 'elite' talents not only need to be outstanding in ability, but also cannot harbor the slightest resentment towards the Main Family.

Although Hizashi Hyuga was also a member of the branch family, Hyuga Hiashi believed that his younger brother would not do anything to harm the Hyuga Clan in such an important matter.

Ideological education, also known as brainwashing, is the most important step in cultivating talent for any organization.

The ninjas of the Hyuga Branch Family are brainwashed by the family from a young age, and only a minority of them resent the Main Family.

Even in the Original Story, if Hizashi Hyuga Neji Hyuga hadn't been made a scapegoat for Hyuga Hiashi, Neji probably wouldn't have resented the Main Family, and might even have risked his life to protect Main Family.

"Your Hizashi, this matter must be carried out in secrecy and must not be known to outsiders."

Hyuga Hiashi reminded him, "After you've chosen your people, please compile a list and give it to me!"

"Yes, brother!"

"Father!"

Kneeling opposite Hyuga Hiashi, Hinata had a serious expression on her face.

Hinata took a Sealing Scroll from her ninja tool bag and placed it on the floor. She said in a serious tone, "These are the first batch of secret medicines that Orochimaru handed over."

Orochimaru is not Hinata; he could never turn snake meat into a delicious meal for Hinata.

Orochimaru is a scientist, not a chef. Making snake soup would be a disgrace to a 'scientist' like that.

Hinata almost got into a fight with Orochimaru over this.

The delicious snake soup was thus ruined by Orochimaru...

However, Orochimaru, as expected of the technical supporter of the Naruto world, used snake meat as the main ingredient, combined with some other medicinal materials, to create this jet-black pill that looked like a mud ball.

Hinata named this pill "Body Tempering Pill". It worked okay, but the taste was terrible and it was very unpalatable!

Hyuga Hiashi unfurled the scroll, formed a hand Hand Seals, and softly uttered, "Open!"

'BOOM——'

In a puff of smoke, five glass bottles appeared on the scroll, each containing twenty pills, for a total of one hundred.

"Father, Orochimaru wouldn't be up to something, would he?"

Now that things have come to this, aside from some things that must be kept secret, such as Hinata being a time traveler, Hinata has told Hyuga Hiashi all her plans.

Hyuga Hiashi trusts Hinata the most in the world, and many things require Hyuga Hiashi to plan.

After all, Hinata is really not cut out for this.

Hyuga Hiashi shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Orochimaru probably wouldn't do anything like this."

"From what you've said, Orochimaru must have something he wants from you. If I'm not mistaken... Orochimaru probably wants to gain power through you."

Hinata looked completely surprised.

"Through me?"

"But... but what can I give Orochimaru?"

Hyuga Hiashi calmly replied, "Intelligence!"

"For someone like Orochimaru, as long as there is enough intelligence to support him, it is not surprising that he will do anything."

At this point, Hyuga Hiashi changed the subject and asked, "Hinata, what are the effects of these secret medicines, and how should they be taken?"

Hinata picked up a glass bottle and explained, "You can just eat it!"

"However, because everyone's physical condition is different, the interval between two doses of medication is also different."

"Moreover, the snake meat of the Akaboshi contains Senjutsu Chakra, so one must at least be Jonin to take this kind of secret medicine."

At this point, Hinata's face scrunched up, as if Orochimaru was doing it on purpose.

"This secret medicine can improve one's constitution, not only enhancing physical abilities but also increasing Chakra levels. Long-term use will make one more sensitive to Natural Energy."

"Once your physique reaches a certain level, you will be able to cultivate Sage Mode with my assistance!"

"Once I master Senjutsu Chakra, I can leave Yin-Yang Seal within their bodies to store Natural Energy."

Hyuga Hiashi listened carefully to every word Hinata said. After Hinata finished speaking, Hyuga Hiashi asked in return, "According to you, the Nine Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths using Yin-Yang Release and the Chakra of the Ten-Tails..."

"If our Hyuga Clan's ninjas wanted to achieve this, it would probably take decades, or even hundreds of years, and they might not even be able to do it."

"However, judging from your assessment of the Three Great Sage Regions, as long as the Natural Energy within the Yin-Yang Seal reaches a certain level, it can replenish human lifespan and extend lifespan?"

"If that's the case, why not imprint the Yin-Yang Seal on all the Hyuga clan members?"

Hinata scratched her head.

"Kindness..."

"Natural Energy is still very dangerous. If you cannot control Natural Energy, it will be very dangerous to come into contact with it rashly."

"Do you remember when I told you about the Cursed Seal on Sasuke's body?"

"Mastering Sage Mode first, and then imprinting the Yin-Yang Cursed Seal, I think that would be a little safer."

"In fact, not all creatures in the Three Great Sage Regions can live forever, and many creatures cannot even master Senjutsu Chakra in their entire lives."

Hyuga Hiashi agreed, "You're right. No matter what, safety is the top priority."

"Leave these secret medicines to me!"

Hyuga Hiashi said, "Last month I had Hizashi select a group of elites from the branch family, and together with some people from the Main Family... let's start with these people!"

At this point, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly remembered something.

"Hinata, make arrangements for Orochimaru. I need to meet with him!"

Hinata blinked, looking at Hyuga Hiashi with a surprised expression.

"Ah?"

"Father, what are you doing meeting Orochimaru?"

Hyuga Hiashi looked out the window and said calmly, "Being in Konoha makes many things inconvenient. Cooperating with Orochimaru will make things much easier."

Hinata moved closer to Hyuga Hiashi and said in a strange tone, "Father, you've become utterly wicked!"

Hyuga Hiashi: "..."
