Tenseigan Puppet

"Hiruzen, Hyuga Matsuba definitely has other ideas. Hurry and control him. Let my Root handle this," Danzo volunteered.

Danzō harbored his own selfish intentions. He planned to control Hyuga Matsuba, which would mean Kushina would be his. Danzō had been eyeing the Nine-Tails with great desire.

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi heard this, he understood the old fox's scheme.

"He's still part of the Hyuga Clan. It would be inappropriate for you to interfere too much and cause unnecessary trouble. Let's leave this matter as it is for now."

Danzō, still clinging to his wishful thinking, said, "That guy is the trash of the clan. Would the Hyuga Clan really care that much about him?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly, his expression indifferent, "Stop talking. I've already made arrangements. Uzumaki Tomoko will be the Jinchuriki."

"What?" Danzō exclaimed loudly, completely blindsided by Hiruzen Sarutobi's move. After a long silence, Danzō knew there was no hope and turned to leave.

"Sigh," Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his nose.

In reality, Kushina was the best candidate for Jinchuriki. However, after some time interacting with her, Hiruzen Sarutobi had developed some opinions about the young girl.

Kushina and Uzumaki Tomoko had completely opposite personalities. With the current situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi had abandoned the idea of using Kushina.

The reason was that Uzumaki Tomoko was more obedient, while Kushina was a bit fiery and prone to causing trouble.

Even though Kushina had high talent, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to take the risk. The Jinchuriki needed to obey him; if control was lost, it would be disastrous.

Despite saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi still sent people to secretly monitor Hyuga Matsuba's family, and by extension, the entire Hyuga Clan. Perhaps the Hyuga Clan was indeed after the Nine-Tails.

Danzō entered his home, furious, smashing anything he saw.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you just wait!" Danzō roared, his face contorted with rage.

Soon, the news of Kushina and Hyuga Matsuba living together spread throughout the school. Many boys secretly envied, were jealous of, and hated Hyuga Matsuba.

Even though this world had no rule against polygamy, everyone generally followed the norm of monogamy.

As a mere brat who hadn't even grown up, Hyuga Matsuba was already embracing two girls at once. This was a dream come true for many men.

Seeing the gazes cast his way, Hyuga Matsuba's lips curled upwards. He walked with his head held so high it almost touched the sky, looking incredibly smug.

"What are you so proud of? I really want to teach you a lesson," Nawaki gritted his teeth.

"Why are you getting so worked up? Single dogs are just single dogs. You can't understand the joy of having two girlfriends. You are all ants, and you're a long way from reaching my level."

"Just shut your mouth! You're quickly becoming the most disliked person, surpassing Uchiha Ken!" Hyuga Matsuba, becoming overconfident, was making Nawaki's lungs about to explode with anger.

"Trash, these are all objective facts. I'm not exaggerating," Hyuga Matsuba slowly sat down, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmph, so you just have one more girlfriend and you're acting all high and mighty. Just you wait and see how I end up with three thousand beautiful women in my harem while you can only watch enviously."

Hyuga Matsuba's jaw nearly dropped. He flicked Nawaki's forehead.

"Ambitious young man? Can your body keep up?"

"Senju Nawaki, Hyuga Matsuba, get yourselves together right now!" Ueno Juri returned to the classroom and began scolding the two.

"Now, I'm going to talk about the village. Our village..."

All the students, excluding Hyuga Matsuba of course, were listening attentively.

But Hyuga Matsuba's mind had long since wandered. What the teacher was saying didn't align with objective history at all. Madara Uchiha was omitted, and the core figures became Hashirama, Tobirama, and the current Third Hokage.

Later, Madara Uchiha was mentioned, but only briefly, portrayed as a villain. Even though Madara wasn't objectively a good person, the narrative was skewed.

Tampering with facts like this was something Hashirama Senju would never do. By deduction, only Tobirama Senju and Shimura Danzo could be responsible.

Given Tobirama's dislike for him, it was highly probable he would do such a thing.

Days passed as usual, and another boring school day ended. However, with Kushina now by his side, everything else remained the same, still a bit dull and uninteresting.

On the way home from school today, Hyuga Matsuba had a sudden idea and told Mikoto and Kushina that they would take a less-traveled path home.

They arrived at a desolate place, quiet all around. A hint of killing intent emanated from Hyuga Matsuba's surroundings.

"Still not showing yourself?"

Mikoto and Kushina looked bewildered. Then, a rustling sound came from behind them. A disguised figure slowly approached.

The two girls were at a loss, their footsteps quietly moving closer to Hyuga Matsuba.

"Hyuga Matsuba, Master Danzō wishes to speak with you," a cold voice conveyed the chilling message.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Matsuba's face darkened. The mention of that name evoked a feeling of dislike in his heart.

He always boasted about his contributions to the village, acting all superior, yet he lacked any real sense of responsibility, merely seeking fame.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Danzō certainly had malicious intentions. But with the situation as it was, Hyuga Matsuba wasn't afraid to face him.

"I'm about to do something that's not suitable for children. This is a dangerous move, so it would be best if you two girls stepped aside," Hyuga Matsuba slowly said to the two girls beside him.

"Are you trying to refuse me? Be careful, or I won't be polite," the Root operative in front of him activated his Sharingan, preparing to attack Hyuga Matsuba.

"Hmm? Judging by your movements, you're from the Uchiha Clan?" Hyuga Matsuba hadn't expected someone from the Uchiha Clan to be working for Root. He continued, "It doesn't matter. Anyone who comes will die anyway."

"Tenseigan Puppet Control!" In the blink of an eye, the assassin in front of him was controlled by the technique.

After being hit by this attack, the opponent would become a puppet, completely losing control of their body and mind. Everything would be dictated by the attacker.

This technique was similar to Kotoamatsukami, but it could only be activated on someone weaker than oneself. However, Kotoamatsukami had the same drawback.

"Dig out your own eyeballs." Hyuga Matsuba gave the order.

The puppet swayed, then obediently carried out the command.

Hyuga Matsuba was satisfied. He then found Uchiha Kirito's eyeballs, which he had dug out last time, from his backpack and placed them in the puppet's hand.

"Now your eyes have become this. Go assassinate the Third Hokage according to my orders. If anyone asks you, say Danzō or the Uchiha ordered you to do it."

"Understood."

In this world, swapping eyeballs was a simple matter, but one had to know medical ninjutsu. However, the assassin before him did not.

Fortunately, Hyuga Matsuba had some prior knowledge. Even if his technique wasn't very skilled, it was sufficient for this level of minor procedure.

After the eye transplant operation was complete, Hyuga Matsuba felt some regret because the assassin's skill level this time was very ordinary.

Now possessing the Mangekyo Sharingan, his chakra levels had increased with the upgrade to his eyeballs, barely reaching the Elite Jonin level.

Equipped with such advanced eyes, his limit would be Kage-level, which was outstanding even within this village.

Therefore, the assassination attempt would likely be discovered very quickly. Once he was caught, wouldn't those two eyeballs be given away for nothing?

Hyuga Matsuba got a headache. He hadn't expected this assassin to be so trash. What should he do?
