Guidance Before Seclusion

"As you all heard just now, things are gradually developing in unpredictable directions."

"It's not just the Sage of Six Paths manipulating the Ninja World from the shadows; it's very possible the sages from the three great Sage Lands are also involved."

"I need to quickly research a method to counter the Will of the Six Paths embedded within you, as well as how to protect you from his influence again."

"Until I find a solution, the organization will temporarily halt external expansion. Please try to maintain your current status and avoid any extreme actions."

"At the same time, like Orochimaru, send me a message at a fixed time each day, just in case of the unexpected."

Hyuga Shin seriously instructed the Spark trio.

"Leader, haven't we already cleared the will embedded within our bodies by the Six Paths?"

"Why do we still need to research this? Can't you easily clear the Will of the Six Paths embedded in any ninja's body?"

Although Kakuzu unconditionally followed Hyuga Shin's decisions, there were some questions he wanted to ask.

Hidan and Sasori were also quite curious about this, their eyes wide as they waited for Hyuga Shin's explanation.

"While it's true that I can easily deal with the will embedded in a ninja's body, that's only me."

"What happens after I die? Who else can take my place to clear the Will of the Six Paths for our comrades?"

"With just a few of us, we can't achieve great things."

"Furthermore, while the Will of the Six Paths has indeed been completely cleared from your bodies, that doesn't mean you can't be invaded!"

"If the Sage of Six Paths is willing to pay a certain price, he can still turn you into his puppets!"

"Therefore, for the sake of future plans, for the organization to continue to be passed down, and for the safety of your own wills, I must quickly research a feasible plan."

"Otherwise, this Spark, shrouded in darkness, could be extinguished at any moment!"

Hyuga Shin's words were filled with seriousness, reflecting the importance he placed on this matter.

Kakuzu, Hidan, and Sasori, after hearing Hyuga Shin's words, understood their own blind spots and Hyuga Shin's long-term planning!

As expected of the leader of the Spark Organization, he considered everything very thoroughly.

"You all need to be careful recently as well. Although the Sage of Six Paths hasn't discovered that you've broken free from his control, it doesn't mean he never will."

"If you have nothing to do, then strive to improve your strength!"

"The road ahead is destined to be difficult. Without powerful strength, you cannot help realize the organization's great ideals."

"You are all rare embers of fire in the darkness; the future Ninja World needs you to save it."

Hyuga Shin reminded the three, then offered them some encouragement. This guy was already very accustomed to it.

The Great Teacher of the Ninja World truly lived up to his name!

Kakuzu and the other two expressed their obedience to Hyuga Shin's instructions, promising to keep a low profile and patiently await Hyuga Shin's research results.

"Do you have any other questions? If so, please ask, and I will do my best to answer."

"If not, then we will part ways here. Contact each other via your rings if anything comes up."

Hyuga Shin decided to go into seclusion. Time waits for no one! He couldn't afford not to be diligent.

"I have no questions," Kakuzu responded first.

"Leader, my preaching won't be affected, right? You know, my god, the Evil God, needs regular offerings."

Hidan, true to his nature as a devout follower of the Evil God, never forgot his deity.

"You handle it as you see fit, but try not to slaughter civilians anymore! I hope you can firmly remember this point!"

"Our organization doesn't prohibit members from having other beliefs or hobbies, as long as you strive towards our common goal."

"But there are certain red lines that cannot be crossed!"

Hyuga Shin answered Hidan's question and drew a line for him.

"Then, I'll only kill those wicked bandits, those evil ninjas, and anyone who offends me. Is that acceptable?"

Although Hidan was a bit displeased, he still asked within the boundaries Hyuga Shin had set.

"As long as it's not too extreme, do as you please!" Hyuga Shin couldn't be bothered to argue.

After all, Hidan still relied on the power of the Evil God to grow, and that couldn't be restricted.

As a trump card fighter, Hyuga Shin could accept anything as long as it wasn't too excessive.

Then, Hyuga Shin turned his gaze to Sasori, his meaning obvious.

"Leader, I want to ask how I can quickly improve my strength!" Sasori's mind worked quickly, and he asked a question that also interested Kakuzu and Hidan.

After all, becoming strong in this chaotic and twisted world was the dream of every ninja!

And for the members of Spark, shrouded in darkness, they should have an even stronger desire to become stronger!

Just as Hyuga Shin had said, without powerful strength, they couldn't contribute to the organization's great ideals at all.

"Sasori, the question you've raised actually already has an answer."

"After you were freed from your restraints, you should have discovered that the purity and quantity of Chakra within your bodies have fundamentally improved."

"And due to the increased purity of Chakra, your ninjutsu, when powered by the same amount of Chakra, should have doubled in power!"

"As long as you can adapt and master them quickly, your strength will greatly increase."

Hyuga Shin answered the question Sasori had posed.

"Alright, Leader, I understand," Sasori nodded in acknowledgment.

Kakuzu also realized that this was indeed the case upon hearing it. He had only escaped his confinement a few days ago and had been in a rush, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.

He never expected that he, Kakuzu, could still improve his strength. After being possessed by Earth Grudge Fear, he had lost all hope.

"Before we part, I'll give you all some more advice."

"Kakuzu, you need to focus on improving your mastery of ninjutsu, striving to minimize the hand seals required for casting."

"Any strong individual can perform their ninjutsu at will, unhindered by hand seals."

For example, Uchiha Madara would release ninjutsu with just two fingers raised, and Hashirama Senju would clap his hands and summon whatever he desired.

Of course, he, Hyuga Shin, was no exception!

"At the same time, continue researching composite ninjutsu that combines elemental ninjutsu to enhance your attack power and range."

Hyuga Shin offered Kakuzu reasonable suggestions for improvement.

"Understood, Leader! I will work hard!"

Kakuzu understood Hyuga Shin's advice, and it was indeed a good direction for him to strive towards.

"As for Hidan, you can try negotiating with the Evil God you worship, asking Him to significantly boost your strength."

"If He refuses, you can delay or ignore His demands, just maintaining the basic offerings. I believe He will compromise."

Hyuga Shin also gave Hidan his advice.

"I can do that?"

For Hidan, a devout worshiper of the Evil God, such a blasphemous act had never crossed his mind.

"Give it a try. After all, you're His only follower in the Ninja World, so there's no harm in it!"

"If He agrees, you'll become incredibly powerful, undoubtedly becoming a pillar of the organization."

This Hyuga Shin was truly wicked, always coming up with devious schemes to tempt Hidan, the devout follower of the Evil God.

However, it had to be said, this tactic might actually work for Hidan.

"I understand, I'll discuss it with Lord Evil God." Hidan was also very eager to improve his strength.

After all, this was a world that valued strength; without it, no one would even listen to his preaching for the Evil God.

"As for Sasori, while your Ten Finger Manipulation has basically reached the introductory level, it's not proficient, and you can't coordinate them freely to achieve saturation attacks. This is the area you need to focus on improving."

Hyuga Shin also pointed out Sasori's issues.

"Yes, Leader. I've realized this as well, and I will work hard on it." Sasori knew his weaknesses.

"Well, since there are no more questions, let's part ways here. I will be going into seclusion to research. It will take at most two to three months, or as little as half a month, before I achieve some results."

"Remember my advice: prioritize your own safety above all else. Only by truly living can you have a bright future!"

With that, Hyuga Shin gracefully departed under the watchful eyes of the three.
