The Concept of Dust Release and Bloodline Assimilation

Konoha, inside the Hokage's Office.

Hyuga Makoto's face showed genuine curiosity, because it was Kisame who had appeared before him.

And, that woman who broke Kisame's defenses with just one sentence!

This strange combination puzzled him, and he also noticed something.

"The Samehada sword? You've become Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Mr. Cheng, it's been a long time."

Kisame and the woman bowed slightly upon seeing Hyuga Makoto.

They still vividly remember everything this ruthless man did in the Kirigakure!

Kisame, in particular, was the one most deeply affected.

"Yes, Suikazan Fuguki has been found to have betrayed us. His sword was given to me by the Mizukage."

"Makoto, they are the intelligence liaisons between Konoha and Kirigakure, Kisame Hoshigaki and Ren."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up at this opportune moment, though he seemed somewhat tired.

"They are responsible for liaising with Konoha and Kirigakure regarding all information about Uchiha Obito and the Akatsuki Organization, so they are temporarily staying in Konoha."

"I see..."

Hyuga Makoto's eyes were a little strange; he had a feeling that these two were exiled.

Kisame acted as a complete guide that night.

Regardless of whether the outcome is good or bad, Kirigakure certainly won't trust them anymore.

But it was precisely because he acted as a "guide" that the crisis in Kirigakure was resolved, and the Mizukage and Genji regained their rationality. Kisame couldn't be allowed to be dissatisfied.

So Kirigakure simply gave him the Samehada sword and let him choose someone to come to Konoha, which was tantamount to exile?

Anyway, the swords from Kirigakure can be summoned back...

"Shouldn't you kowtow to me then?"

Thinking about Kisame's current treatment, Hyuga Makoto's expression became even stranger.

Overseas postings? That's such a lucrative job!

Hyuga Makoto pursed his lips and cautiously glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama, has the village arranged for anyone to go to Kirigakure?"

"Arrangements have already been made..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Hyuga Makoto, sensing that the kid was thinking something unpleasant.

"You're quite familiar with them, so I hope you can look after them if you have the time."

"Understood, Hokage-sama."

Hyuga Makoto didn't refuse; Kisame was quite an interesting guy to begin with.

Besides, he genuinely felt that these two should kowtow to him, especially Kisame!

"If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. If all else fails, Kakashi and Lord Jiraiya were there to kidnap you that night; they can always solve the problem."

"Thanks."

Kisame smiled, revealing his shark-like face, and Ren nodded slightly.

Thank you for your support.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Hiruzen Sarutobi briefly reviewed the simple matters before speaking seriously.

You all must have noticed the earthquake last night, right?

It's better not to talk about this, because it makes Hyuga Makoto feel a bit uncomfortable.

Damn it, most of the equipment in his lab was destroyed by those bastards from the Akatsuki Organization!

He just hadn't expected Konoha to react so quickly.

"Yes, but that earthquake seemed a bit unusual."

Although he was in great pain, Hyuga Makoto still spoke earnestly, and Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

"As expected of you, Makoto, your perception is truly remarkable. The Sensory Team has confirmed that there is indeed a battle taking place over there."

Hyuga Makoto curled his lip. Did he really not know?

That's what he did!

"Fighting?"

Kisame's small eyes widened, and Ren beside him immediately understood what was happening.

"Hokage-sama, we will immediately inform the village and cooperate with your investigation."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled. The reason he had these two listen to information was twofold: to show his sincerity and to get them to contribute!

"After all, Uchiha Obito's arrest warrant had only been issued recently, and for something like this to suddenly happen is too much of a coincidence, and..."

"The impact of the battle causing an earthquake like last night was clearly not something a simple person could have accomplished."

Kisame may not be great in other aspects, but his ninja skills are exceptionally high.

"Perhaps he has some connection with Uchiha Obito. This guy and the organization behind him are indeed not simple."

"That's right, that's what I'm worried about too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression also turned slightly serious before he slowly spoke.

"Then, I would like to ask you two to inform your village that we hope to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible."

"We understand."

Kisame and Ren exchanged a glance, then bowed slightly.

"Well then, we'll take our leave now."

"Go."

Hiruzen Sarutobi his hand, and Kisame glanced at Hyuga Makoto as he left, then hesitated before speaking.

"Your Excellency, if you have time, I would like to invite you all to a simple meal as a token of my gratitude."

"No problem, tonight it is."

Hyuga Makoto would never refuse such a good opportunity.

After all, how can Kisame advance his career if he doesn't take the commissioner's money?

After Kisame left, Hyuga Makoto looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama, let's go together. Maybe he'll bribe us to make things better in Konoha."

Cough cough cough...

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost choked on a puff of smoke, and after a while, he managed a wry smile.

"Can't you focus your attention elsewhere?"

"Oh..

Hyuga Makoto pursed his lips. "Then who's going to reimburse me for the repair and damage costs of the Equipment in my lab?"

"By the way, where are Captain Kakashi and the Pervy Sage?"

"Let's not talk about Jiraiya..."

When Jiraiya was mentioned, Hiruzen Sarutobi his head, quickly losing interest in thinking about him.

"As for Kakashi, aside from his regular rest and time with you guys, he spends most of his time training the Flying Thunder God Technique and getting used to his eyes, after all..."

"Is it because of Uchiha Obito?"

Hyuga Makoto asked in a low voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

"Yes, after all, who could have imagined that Uchiha Obito would become so terrifying."

"Um.

"Back then, he was a child with Will of Fire; although his grades weren't great, he was hardworking enough."

"Yeah, I heard he was a bottom-of-the-class student..."

"Who would have thought that he would scheme against Kakashi for power, causing Kakashi to kill Rin with his own hands, bearing a lifetime of pain, and in doing so, obtaining the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Forehead...

"It's fortunate that you discovered Uchiha Itachi's affair, thus uncovering such a secret, otherwise Kakashi would have felt guilty for the rest of his life."

"I...

"What an evil Uchiha brat! He actually came up with such a plan!"

Hyuga Makoto was also exhausted. He felt that unless Uchiha Madara appeared, Obito!

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

After all, this was the truth that happened to Uchiha Obito, and even Obito himself realized it in the future.

But he's still the same old rascal, only thinking about getting high salaries and "Lian Sheng"...

"By the way, what do you think the new world Uchiha Obito was talking about is?"

Just as he was pondering this, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a curious expression.

"Their organization's target is the Tailed Beast; this New World is probably not simple."

"I don't know either; we need to investigate further."

Hyuga Makoto, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

"And it's not just him we should investigate; we should also thoroughly investigate the orange-haired and blue-haired people provided by Kirigakure."

"This is already underway; Danzo is investigating in this direction."

Hiruzen Sarutobi made no attempt to hide anything, but he was also somewhat helpless.

"Although their hair color is quite unique, finding them in the vast Shinobi World won't be an easy task."

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Hyuga Makoto nodded. Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan were already very well hidden.

Moreover, they were hiding in the Land of Rain, a country inhabited by the Demi-God Hanzo, a place most people wouldn't dare venture to.

Without clear intelligence pointing the way, it would be hard for an ordinary person to think of going to the Land of Rain to look for it.

Hyuga Makoto began to consider whether or not to send Shisui to sell information.

"After all, the losses this time were really significant, and we absolutely have to make up for them—"

If this information is given to Danzo, and he happens to remember something but doesn't dare to investigate, then it's pointless.

"Alright, Cheng, you should go back and rest now."

Just as Hyuga Makoto was pondering, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke again.

"I've brought you here to meet the people of Kirigakure, and also to prepare you mentally, considering what's going on in the Land of Hot Water."

"I can end my vacation if needed."

Hyuga Makoto knew exactly what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant, and he immediately replied with a smile.

"It just so happens that Uchiha Izumi has been studying all along, so she can be sent on missions when necessary."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hiruzen Sarutobi n't waste any time; he spoke with a smile.

"Alright, go on, she's still waiting for you outside."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Hyuga Makoto nodded, then turned and left the Hokage's Office.

He was somewhat surprised that Konoha had reacted so quickly to his battle in the Land of Hot Water last night.

Although he admitted that he had indeed made quite a commotion.

"I just don't know what they'll find out, or if they'll let me go."

Upon exiting the Hokage's Office, Hyuga Makoto immediately saw Uchiha Izumi waiting outside.

She had changed into her Anbu uniform and was looking at Hyuga Makoto with anticipation.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm on vacation; I can't possibly have any missions."

Hyuga Makoto knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but shake his head with amusement.

"Besides, you have a lot to learn, so don't rush things."

"Yes..

Uchiha Izumi lowered her head. Although Hyuga Makoto was only a year older than her, she really didn't dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, Hyuga Makoto spoke up as he walked.

"But be prepared, we might have to leave at any time."

"Real?"

This truly surprised and delighted Uchiha Izumi.

She truly yearned for revenge, and she couldn't forgive Uchiha Itachi for everything he had done!

She needs training and improvement; only then will she have the ability.

"Yes, now we need to wait for the results before making a final decision."

Hyuga Makoto replied absentmindedly, his mind still replaying everything from last night.

After all, he had given the Wood Release Clone a good workout last night, and also tested his own limits.

"I'm in great shape right now, and I've made further progress in the fusion of Yin-Yang Release techniques, as have my Clone."

He continued the fusion of Yin-Yang Release, and he had a premonition.

This fusion of Yin-Yang Release might allow him to see "that so-called Flame of Life"!

Naruto's state was something he greatly envied.

Even though he never imagined that his fusion could compare to Six Paths Naruto's "one-step-to-the-stomach" technique.

But if he can see and touch it, then he can naturally do even more!

This is also a huge boost for him personally.

"Besides that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to use the Wood Human Technique Wood Release."

Hyuga Makoto thought to himself, even though he hadn't tried it yet, he was sure he was right about that feeling!

The Wood Human Technique Susanoo in its fifth form. If the Wood Human Technique were truly unleashed in conjunction with the Wood Dragon...

"Then this Clone can be considered to have achieved its purpose. If it can finally release the Buddha statue, then it will be completely perfect!"

The technique "True Several Thousand Hands" is simply too outrageous.

At least before it was made into a tattoo version, this was an unparalleled power!

Even Senju Hashirama himself, after Impure World Reincarnation using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, found it difficult to wield this power.

Hyuga Makoto wasn't sure if his Clone could even reach that point.

It's never wrong to give it a try, and while experimenting with and improving his Wood Release, he also began to have some initial ideas about his new Clone.

"Now that we have Wood Release, we can try Dust Release too..."

His goal has always been to "Kekkei Mōra", and the key to building Kekkei Mōra is naturally the existence of all attribute Chakra.

Furthermore, he considered things more deeply: the ratio of earth and water attributes in Wood Release is a 6:4 fusion.

"So, should I make up the remaining proportions of these two attributes to achieve a complete balance?"

There is very little information about Kekkei Mōra, and even though he is a transmigrator, there is not much more information.

He could only rely on guesswork and try his best to make everything as perfect as possible.

"Achieving a 10% utilization and fusion rate for all Chakra attributes, maintaining a balance, is the most stable approach!"

Every step of the Kekkei Mōra must be taken with utmost care, since even among the Otsutsuki Clan he knew, very few possessed this ability.

"I don't even know how many she fused herself into; anyway, Princess Kaguya obtained them through fruits..."

Hyuga Makoto pursed his lips. All he could do was to make everything as perfect as possible based on the information he had.

However, the thought of Kaguya's name couldn't help but bring a mischievous smile to his face.

"Deliberately leaving you with the Otsutsuki surname, plus all the previous hints, I wonder how Black Zetsu feels now..."

The thought of Black Zetsu's pained expression only intensified the wicked grin on his face.

However, Uchiha Izumi noticed this smile as well.

"Senior, is there something to make you happy?"

"Hmm, I'm old..."

Hyuga Makoto spoke instinctively, but immediately sensed something was wrong.

"No, we're all professionally trained; we won't laugh no matter how funny it is, unless we can't help it."

"Ah?

"No way! Save your stomach for tonight, someone's treating! It's a specialist from Kirigakure, why not take advantage of it!"

"Oh...

Uchiha Izumi nodded blankly; Hyuga Makoto didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't feel comfortable asking.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain, Obito was staring intently at Black Zetsu.

"Now we can have a proper talk. Why didn't you tell me that information before?"

Black Zetsu:
