Making Hinata Live in My Shadow

So, what exactly happened?

Inside a VIP ward at Konoha Hospital, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in a hospital gown, looked at Jiraiya, whose face was covered in bruises, and Tsunade, who seemed completely unconcerned.

Tsunade's return was naturally good news, but the ensuing incident concerning the Fourth Raikage angered him so much that he ended up in the hospital.

Whether the Fourth Raikage lives or dies isn't really that important.

The key issue is that if this bastard dies at the hands of Konoha, it will inevitably ignite a new Shinobi World War!

This is also why Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry that he ended up in the hospital; after all, he knew a thing or two about those lunatics in Kumogakure.

All he could do was pray that the damned Fourth Raikage wouldn't die on the way.

To his utter surprise, he suddenly heard a noise while he was resting in bed.

He looked up in confusion, only to see the Fourth Raikage's dark face!

This really terrified him...

After glaring fiercely at Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi composed himself and continued speaking.

"Although you said in your letter that he ambushed Cheng, which caused this situation, I need to find out the more specific details."

"Sigh, it's all because this guy got greedy."

Jiraiya rubbed his aching face; his teacher was really ruthless.

"Makoto is dealing with a member of Akatsuki Organization. According to him, that guy has several hearts and, like you, is proficient in various elemental Ninjutsu..."

What do you mean by "same as me"?

Hiruzen Sarutobi an eyebrow, but thankfully Tsunade spoke up at that moment.

"That brat isn't too difficult to deal with. Although he's from the Hyuga, he's not afraid of Ninjutsu attacks, and he already saw the Fourth Raikage preparing to ambush him..."

Having witnessed the entire battle, Tsunade recounted the events clearly and quickly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened intently, but the more he listened, the stranger his expression became, and the wider his mouth grew.

His mind was buzzing, and only one question kept echoing in his head.

Is this still the Yin Seal?

Is this really Yin Seal?

A blue Curse Mark, azure Chakra, and speed and power surpassing even the Fourth Raikage —it can even absorb Chakra?

The upper limit of the Yin Seal is actually that high?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood frozen in place, still not having recovered even after Tsunade had finished speaking.

"Old man, are you alright, old man?"

It wasn't until Jiraiya waved his hand in front of his eyes that he snapped out of his daze.

"I... I'm fine..."

He shook his head, but then fell silent again. After a long while, he asked in a low voice.

"Did Makoto ever say how he did it?"

"How would I know? I'd like to visit him."

Tsunade gave a soft hum. The Yin Seal was something she had been developing, and she herself wanted to understand it.

Jiraiya rubbed his head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"It seems that Cheng mentioned that he referenced a large number of Sealing Jutsu and then improved the Yin Seal as a whole."

As for the rest, I don't know much, after all, it's his Secret Technique, and I'm not particularly good at Sealing Jutsu either."

Is that so...?

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly; he knew that Jiraiya to ask any further questions.

Although this technique is based on the Yin Seal, it has been modified too much by Hyuga Makoto.

Even the sealing of the Caged Bird seems to have the shadow of this technique!

Even if he was extremely curious, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't ask too many questions. After all, what ninja doesn't have their own secrets?

As for Hyuga Makoto, at his age, he's already pulled off so many impressive feats—

He really didn't find it strange!

The Uchiha Hyuga the Hyuga clan—one of them caused the Nine-Tails Incident at this age, and the other almost killed their entire family.

It's not surprising that Hyuga Makoto is strong enough to beat the two of them!

Thinking of this, even though Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were still somewhat dazed, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Young people these days are truly getting better with each generation."

"Isn't that because I trained them well?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and immediately spoke with a grin, which made Tsunade frown.

"You trained me well? You Yin Seal? You Flying Thunder God?"

"You'd better shut up. Don't think I don't know you took Makoto to the hot springs!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and let out a cold snort.

"Don't lead him astray, otherwise—"

"Let's talk about the Fourth Raikage first!"

Jiraiya couldn't handle the two of them any longer, so he could only change the subject with a bitter expression.

"I think the entire Shinobi World is focused on the Fourth Raikage right now. How should we handle this?"

"Hmph, what else can we do? We'll just handle it normally."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Jiraiya, then his gaze fell on the Fourth Raikage.

He had absolutely no goodwill towards the Kumogakure. He still vividly remembered his teacher, Kushina, and Hyuga.

The Fourth Raikage was lying right in front of him, half-dead, and he was incredibly pleased!

"Through normal channels, we have announced that the Fourth Raikage is not dead."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"He is receiving treatment in Konoha, and at the same time, he has announced what he did, asking Kumogakure to send someone to negotiate."

"Won't the people of Kumogakure find this hard to accept?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin and couldn't help but ask, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't seem to care at all.

"They won't accept it easily, but with Dodai, they'll endure it!"

"This...

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke first.

"Furthermore, make them hand over the remains of the Hizashi. I haven't forgotten what happened back then!"

"Old man..."

Jiraiya couldn't help but speak up, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was already feeling incredibly happy!

"Makoto was someone he nurtured from childhood. How could a man with such Will of Fire be left to perish in a foreign land?"

"But...

"Also, don't worry about their threats. Although I don't want war, Konoha now is not like it was when it was in a period of transition!"

"Let that Dodai think carefully: do they want to get their Raikage back before they go mad, or do they want to go mad right now!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged bewildered glances as they watched Hiruzen Sarutobi become increasingly excited and spirited.

They really hadn't seen anything like this from Hiruzen Sarutobi in a long time.

After seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi finally stop, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"But old man, Dodai is dead."

"?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression stiffened, and Tsunade shrugged helplessly.

"He went out with the Fourth Raikage, but was ultimately crushed by the aftershocks of Hyuga Makoto's attack and died right in front of me."

66

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, Jiraiya couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Um, old man, what do we do now?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Jiraiya, and after a long while, he finally spoke through gritted teeth.

"Jiraiya, promise me one thing."

"You say..

"Next time we go out, remember to burn incense for me, you idiot!"

Hyuga Makoto had no idea what kind of chaos was taking place inside Konoha Hospital.

At that moment, he was leading Hinata and Neji toward Ichiraku Ramen.

"You two are really lucky. Every time I finish a mission, you're always on vacation."

Looking at the two little ones, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Speaking of which, you two didn't skip class, did you? Otherwise, how come it's always such a coincidence?"

"Pshaw, I'm not like you, why would I skip class?"

Neji snorted softly upon hearing this, but Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow in disdain.

"Yes, you're different from me, but I get good grades even if I don't go to class. Can you do that?"

Neji was speechless upon hearing this.

How come this guy thinks skipping class is something to be proud of?

But what really gave him a headache was that this guy genuinely didn't go to class, yet his grades were still ridiculously good!

It seems that apart from math problems, which he's not very good at, this guy is good at everything else.

This situation left him quite frustrated, and he could only mutter to himself.

"I don't mind not going!"

"Oh?"

Hyuga Makoto grinned mischievously and asked with some curiosity.

"But the question is, do you dare?"

Neji remained silent, which pleased Hyuga Makoto.

"So you're too scared? Then what were you saying?"

"I...

"If you dare, I'll tell Uncle Hiashi right away. Hinata."

"Do you dare or not?"

"Snort!"

Neji was genuinely amused and exasperated; he was increasingly convinced that Naruto was absolutely right.

This guy is completely inhuman!

I've said everything I needed to say, and you've blocked all my way out. Are you trying to force me to bang my head against a wall?

"Brother Makoto, skipping class is wrong..."

Fortunately, when Neji was feeling most down, Hinata grabbed Hyuga Makoto's hand.

"Uncle Hizashi definitely wouldn't want to hear about you skipping class."

You...

Hearing this, Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but purse his lips. The best way to control him really was Hizashi Hyuga.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this person should return to Konoha.

Even though he didn't say anything, he felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi would do that.

At the very least, he can bring it up during the meeting to discuss it!

Neji...

Thinking of this, Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but look at Neji, who was walking ahead in a huff, and asked him curiously.

"If Uncle Hizashi could return to his roots, what would you do?"

"Fallen leaves return to their roots..."

Neji's body trembled slightly upon hearing these words.

The issues between the Main Branch and the Branch Family have now been resolved, which can be considered the result of his father's efforts back then.

Unfortunately, his father's remains are in Kumogakure, and he wants to get them back from those guys.

"Sigh, why bring this up?"

Neji sighed softly, his mood also somewhat downcast.

"I know what happened back then, and I also know about the situation in Kumogakure. This kind of thing is too difficult."

"Brother Makoto, you look very happy today----"

Hinata noticed Neji's unusual mood and immediately blushed, awkwardly changing the subject.

"Was something interesting that happened during the mission?"

I guess so.

Hyuga Makoto stopped talking. He wanted to see how the kid would react after receiving the news.

As for being happy, that's for sure.

Because the data on the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack that Black Zetsu provided was actually useful!

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack" is indeed the ancestor of Gentle Fist, but it is not as chaotic as Gentle Fist.

It is a Taijutsu that combines Chakra with one's own power to an extreme, and unleashes it completely through the power of Kekkei Mōra!

It can be considered a single move because it is extremely fierce.

But it can also be seen as countless moves, because each move contains countless patterns!

"No wonder the Hyuga's ancestors were able to create so many Gentle Fist styles; they all extracted fragments from this move—"

Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but sigh, "The Otsutsuki Clan eats too well, and their Kekkei Mōra is just too exaggerated!"

Even a casual move has been so difficult for later generations to master and comprehend, even after several generations.

"Even I'm the same, after all, I don't have Kekkei Mōra ----"

Hyuga Makoto shook his head inwardly, but a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"But I can use Yin-Yang Release and Senjutsu Chakra instead!"

Doing so would inevitably reduce its power significantly, but that's compared to Kaguya Otsutsuki's.

"This is already somewhat excessive for dealing with the current version of the game."

Hyuga Makoto remembered very clearly how he combined the information provided by Black Zetsu with his own Chakra and power.

He clearly sensed that the space around him was slightly compressed and distorted.

He couldn't even imagine what it would be like once he mastered and unleashed this power!

"It's just that the consumption is too high; I need to obtain it step by step..."

Hyuga Makoto already had a plan: since this thing is called "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack," he might as well actually make a set of "Eighty Divine Sky Strike"!

"They are both the ancestors of Gentle Fist, and their essence is the same. Since that's the case..."

He could easily extract and integrate the essence of Gentle Fist from the easy to the difficult, forming his own unique system!

He was quite confident about this, because he had already started trying and had even achieved some results.

"Later, I can also place them in the Hyuga Clan, Gentle Fist will completely revert to Divine Sky Strike!"

As for whether the Hyuga Clan members can learn it or use Yin-Yang Release and Senjutsu effectively, that's none of their business.

"After all, apart from me, everyone else in the Hyuga Clan has been wasting their talents..."

Thinking of this, Hyuga Makoto's smile became even brighter.

He could already imagine how all the Hyuga Clan members would live in his shadow!

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything again?"

While Hyuga Makoto was having a good time, Neji, who had been listening Neji, was feeling rather annoyed.

"Is it because the mission is classified, and you can't tell me?"

"No, that's not it. I think you'll hear about my mission soon."

Hyuga Makoto snapped out of his daze and patted Neji on the shoulder.

"I was just thinking about my newly developed Gentle Fist style. You guys are in for a rough time."

"New Gentle Fist?"

Hinata was slightly taken aback by these words, Neji's face also showed an expression of disbelief.

"You developed a new style of Gentle Fist yourself?"

"That won't be called 'Gentle Fist ' anymore, and I think its name will soon appear in relation to my mission."

Hyuga Makoto withdrew his hand, looked at the Hokage Office Building, and then chuckled softly.

"But I'll tell you first, it's called Divine Sky Strike, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack."

After saying this, Hyuga Makoto took Hinata's hand and walked ahead, leaving Neji looking completely bewildered.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack?"

"The name sounds nice, but..."

Why did this appear alongside your mission? What exactly did you do...?
