More and more small country ninja villages are arriving at Konoha.
Now that it was confirmed that the war was over and Konoha once again became the winner of Third Shinobi World War, these small ninja villages that existed as a buffer for the war immediately sent envoys to Konoha to show their goodwill.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, Konoha will gain further momentum.
The envoy of Otogakure also arrived at Konoha at this time and formally submitted the document stating that the alliance was actually a vassal.
Minato readily stamped it, signed the warrant, and the agreement officially came into effect.
"Otogakure's leader, didn't you come to Konoha?" Minato asked suddenly while signing his name.
"Huh? Sorry, I don't know the leader's whereabouts." Fūma Clan's ninja said respectfully.
"Really? It seems that I made a mistake. I received intelligence two days ago that the leader of Otogakure was in Konoha. I thought your mission was divided into two groups." Minato said calmly.
The opponent's eyelids twitched and his mouth became bitter.
Facing a strong man like Fourth Hokage, who came from a declining ninja clan and defected to Orochimaru, he was under great pressure.
"This, maybe it's someone else, I don't know." Fūma Clan's ninja said bravely.
"I understand. It seems that the intelligence is wrong. I need to investigate again. Maybe it is a spy sent by other villages to destroy our relationship."
"This, Lord Hokage..."
"Needless to say, you've worked hard all the way. Please go down and rest."
A group of Anbu Ninja forcibly took away Otogakure's messenger.
Minato changed hands and issued a new order: kill Orochimaru.
"This poisonous snake has already set its sights on the people of the Uchiha Clan. Try to find a way to find them and kill them... No, what is more important than this is to find a way to decipher the mystery of his constant resurrection."
Minato kept thinking.
As far as he knew, Orochimaru was killed once by Genitsu and once by the leader of Eye Organization, but they were both resurrected.
Minato has tried his best to figure out the specific resurrection mechanism, let alone what kind of technique can do this.
"That guy Orochimaru, I learned a lot of Forbidden Technique from Scroll of Seals, such as Eight-Headed Serpent, etc., but except for Impure World Reincarnation, I really I can't think of any Forbidden Technique that can keep him resurrected... Is it the Forbidden Technique he developed himself? He did crazy human experiments and even defected just to perfect this Forbidden Technique?"
Minato finally handed over this task to Genitsu.
Of all Konoha, only Genitsu has killed Orochimaru, so he will definitely know something about Orochimaru.
"Is this an order to kill Orochimaru? Minato is also anxious and doesn't want Uchiha Clan to go berserk." Genitsu waved his hand.
Anbu Ninja in front of him left respectfully.
Killing Orochimaru is really nothing to Genitsu, because after resurrection, Orochimaru has all-round strength in all aspects.
On the contrary, Orochimaru, who was chased and killed by Konoha after he defected, was at his strongest and had the strongest soul power, and he even wanted to kill him with Living Corpse Reincarnation.
"Since it's Hokage's order, I'll just obey it. It's just killing a dead snake anyway."
Genitsu stood up and stretched hard.
Sitting in charge of Root, all kinds of information are gathered at all times. From the movements among the various ninja clans in the village to the movements among Shinobi World's major ninja villages, a large amount of information will be passed to Genitsu.
Generally speaking, Genitsu will arrange a clone to handle these things.
"Nissan, the operation on Iroha is basically completed." At this time, Kabuto walked out of the most heavily guarded laboratory with a look of joy on his face.
"Really, thank you for your hard work. How was the effect?"
"Detailed data on the long-term effects cannot be given for the time being, but for the moment, Iroha can barely withstand the corpse of Ōtsutsuki." Kabuto wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Toneri's father's body was disassembled bit by bit and transplanted into Iroha's body. This operation has been going on for more than a year.
Starting with heart transplants, then other internal organs, then skin, bones, muscles and bone marrow.
It can be said that except for the brain, Toneri's father's entire body was dismantled into pieces and pieced together bit by bit into Iroha's body.
For now, the biggest good news is that Iroha's self-thinking and will have not been replaced by the remaining instincts of Toneri's father.
This is a Root ninja from the Yamanaka Clan, who has repeatedly confirmed it.
"Very good." Genitsu smiled on his face.
He waited patiently.
Two full days.
Iroha just completed the integration and barely stabilized his vital signs.
The entire body condition also ushered in an unprecedented leap at this moment. The parts belonging to Ōtsutsuki were frantically integrating into his body, constantly sublimating his old ones and transforming them into new ones.
At this moment, Hyuga Iroha, who came from a separate family and had weak blood, ushered in his own transformation and quickly moved closer to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
"Sir Genitsu." Iroha knelt down on one knee with a respectful expression.
Genitsu looked at him, and after nodding slightly, his right eye quietly turned into Rinnegan, observing the changes of Iroha.
At this time, Iroha only felt a powerful pupil power coming, which made him doubtful in his heart, because as far as he knew, Master Genitsu did not have special eyes, let alone such a thing as pupil power.
But he did not raise his head after all, silently waiting for Genitsu's order.
"Well, although the changes are not small, it still maintains the body shape and appearance of a normal human being, and its vitality and Chakra are far higher than before."
What's more.
Genitsu observed Iroha's right eye.
This Byakugan from the Main Family is undergoing drastic changes at this time, stimulated by the power of Ōtsutsuki.
The entire eyeball swelled slightly, and the white pupil was constantly undergoing subtle changes. Just inside the eyeball, amazing changes were happening rapidly.
"How do your eyes feel?" Genitsu said lightly.
"It's very uncomfortable and painful, but it gave me unimaginable power... I feel like my eyes are 'evolving'."
This feeling is very strong.
The entire right eye seemed to burst, but new power was growing deep in the pupil.
A very slow transformation, but a real power.
When the power that is constantly emerging from the depths of the eyes crosses a critical point.
A whole new change has emerged.
The whites of his eyes are gradually turning gray.
The pupils also began to appear colors other than white.
A pupil power that far exceeds the limit of Byakugan is bursting out.
"It seems that it was successful. I got the eyes by sacrificing one Ōtsutsuki and one Main Family's Byakugan..." Genitsu kept observing. At this moment, he nodded slightly.
The past efforts were not in vain, and Toneri's father's body was not wasted either and had sufficient value.
It actually pushed the eyes transplanted by Iroha to a whole new stage.
Although it cannot be said to be a complete success now, it is only a matter of time, as long as the body fit together by Iroha has a better fit, a higher degree of adaptability, and the accumulated pupil power reaches the standard.
This right eye will naturally enter a new stage.
"Sir, my eyes... are they successful? I can feel a new power brewing..." Iroha whispered.
"It was barely successful. The power you feel should be the pupil technique brought to you by this eye." Genitsu said.
"Eye Technique... I also have eyes like Mangekyō Sharingan? Sir, the name of this kind of eyes is..."
"Jōgan, that should be the name. As for the specific pupil ability, the most basic one is to further strengthen Byakugan's ability." Genitsu answered.
Excluding the exclusive pupil technique, Jōgan is an upgraded version of Byakugan. It naturally possesses all the abilities of Byakugan. Needless to say, perspective and farsightedness, it can also see the materialization of Chakra, the special flow of Chakra, and the weaknesses of Chakra.
Iroha has this kind of special eye, even though it seems extremely reluctant. He sacrificed a Ōtsutsuki to successfully advance one of his eyes.
But that's not important. Genitsu is just trying anyway. He is very happy if he can barely succeed.
He stretched out his hand and patted Iroha on the head.
The Caged Bird mark on his forehead made a sizzling sound at this time.
"You are no longer who you were in the past. Try to use this eye to crack Caged Bird Seal." Genitsu ordered.
Iroha took a deep breath and closed his eyes directly.
The next moment, he had already seen all the Chakra streamlines in his brain through this eye. Every subtle Chakra could not be hidden from his own eyes.
This kind of vision has far exceeded the limit of Byakugan.
In Iroha's field of vision, his brain, especially the part connected to the eye nerve, is scattered with terrifying seals. The seals are appearing in his field of vision under the stimulation of Chakra.
"I can break it." Iroha's voice was cold. He had had enough of this damn seal.
His eyes and brain were all bound by this damn thing.
"Then destroy this thing and give me the detailed cracking method. Iroha, maybe you will become the savior of the entire Hyuga Branch Family..." Genitsu smiled.
Caged Bird Seal is very complex and dangerous. The main reason is that it directly affects the brain. If you are not careful, the brain will be damaged.
If the Sealing Jutsu master of Konoha, such as Minato, really wants to crack Caged Bird at any cost, it is not impossible to succeed, but it will definitely cost the death of countless Hyuga Branch Family people, and the gain is not worth the loss.
Now, the bug Iroha has appeared. The structure formed by Caged Bird Seal in the brain has no secret to Iroha.
"The weakness of this technique is here... as long as this Chakra is cut off, the entire seal cannot be affected by Chakra..." Iroha worked hard to improve the power of his eyes, and he was seeing more and more clearly.
Jōgan has the ability to see through Chakra's weaknesses and is the nemesis of Caged Bird Seal.
The next moment, Iroha took action on his own brain without hesitation.
He pulled out a scalpel from Kabuto, attached his own Chakra to it, and after thinking for a moment, stabbed directly into his left eye.
Phew!
Blood splattered.
Iroha dug out a hole in the already blind left eye. As the scalpel went deeper, more Chakra Blade also extended in, gently cutting off a certain Chakra vein related to Caged Bird Seal.
Caged Bird seal was affected immediately.
"Did it succeed?" Genitsu said calmly.
Iroha was silent for a moment. "Successful. Even if Main Family's people launch Caged Bird Seal on me again, it may affect me, but they will never be able to control me or kill me like in the past."
"That's enough. You just have this kind of eyes. For you, it's only a matter of time before you break the seal." Genitsu said.
As long as the pupil power is strong enough, the seal can be broken easily.
Sasuke was sealed by Danzo, and was broken open by Susanoo; Madara was sealed by Gaara and Shukaku, but was also broken open by force.
As long as the pupil technique and pupil power are strong enough to a certain level, they can ignore most seals.
In this way, the entire Hyuga Branch Family will become a bargaining chip in the hands of Genitsu - of course, he will not use the bargaining chip of the division to blackmail Main Family. That is stupid. The huge population of the division far exceeds that of the Main Family, and their value is destined to be much greater than that of the Main Family.
You know, Tenseigan needs to be spawned...
"Use this eye well. If you can control it skillfully, you will have the qualifications to get involved in Kage Level. This is the power that can overwhelm the entire Hyuga Clan." Genitsu warned Iroha.
"Then, the next step is to find a way to find Orochimaru... By this time, that guy should have escaped."
Genitsu turned around and walked out of Root Base.
Only Kabuto and Iroha were left.
"Senior Iroha, you must take good care of this eye. If you encounter any problems, be sure to tell me. I can help you." Dou took a step forward.
Iroha took a step back. "I understand."
"No, senior, you don't understand. This eye can not only bring unprecedented drastic changes to the Hyuga Clan, but also involves the descendants of Ōtsutsuki on the moon, and may also be related to the creation gods. As far as the existing information is concerned, I We know too little about the eyes beyond Byakugan. Within the scope of Shinobi World, you are unique, and you definitely represent more than just yourself." Kabuto tried his best to get closer to Iroha, with a strange look on his face.
Iroha looked at Kabuto with an indifferent expression.
He had been dealing with this seemingly harmless guy, and he knew deeply how much persistence and madness was hidden under Kabuto's gentle face.
It is very dangerous to get together with such people. The instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages makes Iroha very wary of Kabuto.
"I'll put my eyes to good use."
Iroha left Root Base directly with Body Flicker Technique. Even though his heart was filled with ups and downs, his face was still paralyzed and he returned to Hyuga Clan Compound.
Some guards glanced at Iroha but did not stop him.
As soon as he walked into the streets of the tribe, he bumped into Huomen who was walking in a hurry.
"Iroha? Why are you here?" Huomen frowned and subconsciously took a step back, acting on guard.
But soon, his expression changed, and he looked at Iroha's right eye in shock.
"Your eyes... have become stronger again?!"
"This has nothing to do with you, you are blocking my way." Iroha pressed his oppressive gaze on Huomen.
Both of them are geniuses from separate families, at the same time.
But the paths they took were completely different.
Huomen's expression was uncertain, with a flash of anxiety, and he said in a cold voice, "You guy, although I don't know what Genitsu did to you, but you are essentially Root's person, a spy sent by Root to monitor the family!"
"Do you think you are smart? Everyone knows my identity and significance. Masters Hiashi and Hizashi know it all." Iroha ignored Huomen and walked into the clan.
"... What are you so proud of, bastard! Why do such powerful eyes appear on a guy who is almost a traitor to the clan?"
Huomen gritted his teeth.
Beyond the eyes of Byakugan? He will have it too!
