"Don't worry, Kushina, I'm here. Besides, Asuma and the others are doing a good job. I'm quite confident in dealing with Iwagakure!"
Minato smiled faintly.
"Then... Kushina Jōnin, as the commander-in-chief, I will issue you a mission to escort the important people rescued from Kusagakure back to Konohagakure!"
"Okay, Commander Minato!"
Konoha, laboratory.
The corpse of Otsutsuki Toneri was soaked in a container filled with solution. The eyes of the two minds gradually began to degenerate from Tenseigan, changed back to Byakugan, then slowly became turbid again, and finally became completely empty after completely losing their childishness.
Neji and Hinata each took off the bandages on their eyes and adapted to their changed eyes.
"This is...Jōgan?"
The two touched their eyes and felt the difference between Jōgan and Byakugan in the past.
Their eyes are slightly different than before, but they still look very similar to Byakugan.
Compared to Byakugan, Jōgan's eyes of Neji turned blanched blue, while Hinata's eyes were blanched with a hint of purple.
During the period of Byakugan, Hinata's eyes were also extremely pale purple. This may be the anomaly displayed by Byakugan's purity reaching a certain level.
However, the conjunctiva of both men turned the same black color.
It's just that Neji has only one eye and becomes Jōgan, while Hinata has two eyes.
"Compared with the black and white that Byakugan could only see before, now Jōgan can see in color, and his insight seems to be much higher than during the Byakugan period!"
Hinata expressed his feelings.
Kabuto Yakushi frowned.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., what's going on? According to the algorithm I provided you, isn't the calculated result clearly enough to qualitatively change the child energy in each eye of two people?"
"Sorry, Mr. Kabuto Yakushi, there are unknown variables that have consumed part of Tenseigan's child power, preventing one of Mr. Neji's Byakugan from changing."
Kabuto Yakushi was startled, then lowered his head and thought carefully about something, such as what is the difference between Hinata and Byakugan of Neji.
For example, the purity of Byakugan, and...
"Is it...Caged Bird Seal?"
Hearing Kabuto Yakushi's words, Neji was also stunned.
"The blind spot created by Caged Bird Seal in my sight... seems to have indeed disappeared."
In order to control Branch Family, Caged Bird Seal set up by the Hyuga Main Family can not only make Byakugan control Branch Family Completely self-destructed after death, Main Branch can also torture Branch Family through Cursed Seal, and even destroy Branch Family's brain tissue.
Even so, Main Branch is still worried and even left the remaining backup plan behind.
Everyone who is planted with Caged Bird Seal, Branch Family, and Byakugan is not really able to see 360 degrees in all directions without blind spots, but 359 degrees, with an absolute blind spot.
Obviously, based on these, the so-called Caged Bird Seal is to protect Branch Family's Byakugan from being leaked. In fact, it is just a complete excuse. Otherwise, how could such a back-up man be left behind?
Neji slowly took off the Forehead Protector on his forehead, and what was finally revealed was indeed a smooth forehead - the green Cursed Seal that originally existed on Caged Bird Seal had completely disappeared.
"It seems that the quality of Tongli has completely exceeded the range that Caged Bird Seal can restrain. While Cursed Seal broke through Caged Bird Seal, part of Tongli was also lost!"
Kabuto Yakushi looked at Neji's forehead and made a guess, then turned his head and carefully looked at the image and data J.A.R.V.I.S. had just called up on the screen.
What is recorded here is the physical changes that took place when the eyes of the two people received the power of Otsutsuki Toneri Tenseigan.
It is true that some of the special Chakra was consumed in the brain and forehead of Neji.
That is the child power of Tenseigan.
"Neji brother."
Hinata looked at Neji's forehead, and there was a bit of worry on his face.
"About Brother Neji, your Caged Bird Seal has been lifted... this matter... don't let father and those Main Branch clan elders know, otherwise..."
Hinata's voice was full of worry and he did not continue.
But both Neji and Kabuto Yakushi know what Hinata is worried about.
Once Neji's Caged Bird Seal has been released by others, then after that, he himself will definitely become the focus of the entire Hyuga Clan.
All Branch Family who long for freedom and no longer want to endure the bondage and pain caused by Caged Bird Seal will try their best to get a way to relieve Caged Bird Seal from Neji.
However, the fate of Neji's release from Caged Bird Seal is almost impossible to replicate, because no one can take out a pair of Tenseigan that is the same as Toneri again and take out the child power in it for infusion.
But even if Neji tells the truth, will those Branch Family really be willing to believe it?
They only want to believe what they see and what they think after seeing it.
What they saw was that after Neji practiced with Orochimaru for a period of time, Caged Bird Seal was unlocked. Maybe it was Orochimaru who developed a method to crack Caged Bird Seal.
Regarding Orochimaru, they definitely didn't dare to have the slightest idea, so they could only focus on Neji.
As for Hinata, who is practicing with Neji, it is probably difficult for them to have any ideas about her.
That's because of Hinata Main Branch's identity, as Hyuga Main Family, whether it is her father or herself, they must have the means to control these Branch Familys with Caged Bird Seal engraved on them, and it is difficult for those Branch Familys to be able to attack her.
But Neji is different. Even if your father is the head of the Branch Family, he is still Branch Family. They don't dare to look for Orochimaru and Hinata, and they don't dare to look for you Neji Hyuga?
Even if Hizashi is the owner of the Branch Family, they may be gentle with Neji at first, or make a tough offer, or make requests, but if they don't get the answer they want, they will definitely use coercion and inducement.
As for the other members of Main Branch, if they knew about this, they would probably do even more.
Once it is discovered that Caged Bird Seal on Neji has been removed, then they will definitely try their best to catch Neji - at that time it will not be as simple as planting Caged Bird Seal on Neji again, and they will even become greedy for Jōgan of Neji.
After all, Hinata is Main Branch. Even if they have any crooked ideas about Hinata, it is inconvenient for them to take action, but Neji is just a Branch Family. It is indeed easy to find reasons for Jōgan who wants to get Neji.
You know, Neji's father, Hizashi, is still the top master of the Hyuga Clan, but he is still Branch Family, and Hyuga Branch Family is engraved with Caged Bird Seal! This is almost their best weapon against Neji!
Neji was silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"Then... what should I do? Caged Bird Seal said, maybe as long as I don't take off Forehead Protector, it won't be leaked. Main Branch Even if I activate the spell, I can pretend to be tortured, but as a ninja, it is impossible for me not to fight, and as long as I fight...Jōgan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it!"
This time Hinata also fell silent.
Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses out of habit and said in a deep voice:
"Ever since I was accepted as a disciple by Teacher Orochimaru in the orphanage, the first lesson he taught me is that no matter what Shinobi World wants to achieve, it is absolutely impossible without strength."
"Perhaps there are many things in this world that cannot be accomplished simply by relying on strength, but having sufficient strength is indeed the most basic prerequisite."
"In fact, if you have the strength of Teacher Orochimaru now, then all this will not be difficult for you."
Listening to Kabuto Yakushi's words, Neji couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Power... So I am still too weak now!"
Over the years, Neji's strength has improved rapidly due to his outstanding talent and diligent practice, coupled with his father's teachings, and he is recognized as a "genius" level figure in the village.
In the past, when he was still Ninja Academy, Neji was the chief graduate of his class. After graduation, he quickly became Chunin within a year. Even before he set foot on the moon with Orochimaru, he already had the strength of Jōnin.
Not to mention that now that he has awakened Jōgan, his strength will definitely improve to a certain extent.
He is actually an extremely proud person at heart, and Hizashi has always been deeply proud of his son's performance.
Everyone believes that Neji's future performance will be at least no worse than Hizashi's. Coupled with his good relationship with the future successor of Main Branch, when Hizashi gets old, he will definitely become the next face of the Hyuga Clan.
But no matter how talented he is and how high his future potential is, after all, he is just a boy who has not yet grown up and is almost fifteen years old.
"But you can rest assured that the creation of your eye has something to do with Teacher Orochimaru. As long as I try to persuade you, Teacher Orochimaru won't let it go. However, it's still just you. The best solution is to become stronger yourself. At least you have to be above your father, Hizashi, and even reach the level of the shadows in other villages, in order to have the ability to talk to the Hyuga Clan."
Neji and Hinata both looked at each other and saluted Kabuto Yakushi.
"Then there is Senior Laodou!"
Land of Rain, border.
"This... is this Land of Rain? In a country where it rains all the time, how great it would be if half of the rainwater here could be divided into Land of Wind!"
Juan stretched out his little hand and felt the cold feeling caused by the raindrops falling on his palm.
If it is really possible to transfer part of Land of Rain's rainwater to Land of Wind, then the land of Land of Wind will still be so barren, Sunagakure will be able to obtain more resources, and its strength will become stronger. Will it still be like it is now, and will it not be destroyed by Konohagakure?
Juan doesn't know.
She is one of the ninjas who followed Yura to evacuate Sunagakure and fled.
Nagato, who owns Rinnegan, is considered by the entire Shinobi World to be the only powerful ninja that can compete with Orochimaru. In addition, Akatsuki Organization is also extremely powerful, surpassing any great ninja village except Konohagakure in terms of high-end combat power.
If Amegakure, as the base camp, was not inherently deficient, a large number of elites died during Second Ninja War. After a few years, they finally recovered some of their strength, and a large number died when Pain killed Hanzō.
Inherent deficiencies and insufficient development have resulted in a large gap between the combat power of the middle and lower classes of Amegakure and Konohagakure.
Even if Konan has used the name "Angel" in these years, while Nagato used Rain Tiger at Will Technique to find out every spy, and at the same time adopted a gentle policy towards Amegakure, it can only be regarded as just getting on the right track not long ago, and the people it has trained are only three or two big cats and kittens, and there are not many masters who can do it.
However, the current group of people Sunagakure is enough to alleviate the current situation of Amegakure to a great extent.
"Little girl, the saying that it always rains Land of Rain is actually not accurate. Although this country is known as the crying country, it does not rain all the time. It still does not rain for nearly one-third of the time every year. At least at that time, it is mostly cloudy and it is difficult to see the sun."
An old man with white hair was bandaging a muscular young man with a kind face, and said to Juan with a smile.
"Before the last Ninja Wars was opened, I once traveled to Land of Rain. At that time, the leader of Amegakure was not the current Nagato of 'Rinnegan'."
"Eh? Does Shennong have so much experience?"
Juan asked curiously.
Shennong shook his head, cut off the bandage, and tied a knot on such a strong young man's arm.
"Okay, Juan, and Shura. Let's not talk about those past events. Shinobi World back then was even more chaotic than it is now! But speaking of it, if it hadn't been for you, young man, I might have been killed by those wandering ninjas on the road this time."
The reason why he came to Land of Rain at that time was actually because he came to Amegakure to seek cooperation from Hanzō after his village was wiped out by Konohagakure.
It's just a pity that Hanzō had lost his spirit at that time and was unwilling to face a big country like Konohagakure again.
Yes, Shennong is more than just a doctor.
Sky Ninja Village was destroyed by Konohagakure as early as Second Ninja War. At that time, Three Ninja had not even made his name among Shinobi World.
For so many years, he has been traveling around Shinobi World as a wandering doctor with excellent medical skills. In fact, he has been collecting his own Forbidden Jutsu in an attempt to gain the power to fight against Konohagakure.
And now, he found a perfect target.
At that time, he was being chased by wandering ninjas, and was later discovered by Juan who owned Sensory Ability, and was rescued by Juan with Shura.
"I thought that with the Eight Gates Formation stolen from Konohagakure many years ago, and the Body Rebirth Technique developed over the years, combined with Zero-Tails, I could have a Eight Gates with truly unlimited battery life!"
