New rewards

In a small town in the Land of Fire.

A large group of ninjas, looking disheveled, temporarily stopped here, and these ninjas even came from the Four Great Shinobi Villages!

The siege of Land of Fields has ended, but it has left a shadow in everyone's hearts.

After all, for most people, this time they got a severe beating!

Moreover, the sheer number of deaths sealed the fate of this operation as a complete failure.

Even though the Akatsuki Organization's base in the Land of Fields has been completely erased from the map.

"The people from Kumogakure have gone straight back to the Land of Lightning, but I think we still need to have a talk."

In a large room at a small town inn, Ōnoki, his body wrapped in bandages, looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, Rasa, Genji, and the others, and spoke in a low voice.

The Land of Lightning is to the north of the Land of Fields, and the Land of Fire is to the south. For their own safety Kumogakure naturally chose to return.

Whether they leave or not is of no concern to Ōnoki; he has far too many problems on his mind right now.

"I don't want to dwell on the failure of this operation, but we all now face a very serious problem."

"That's right."

Genji nodded, and Rasa couldn't help but ask a question.

"Akatsuki Organization, the Nucleus Organization, and that last guy, what kind of monsters are they?!"

"Your Konoha were the first to make contact with them, so..."

Ōnoki's expression was extremely grim, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The entire Shinobi World is facing a crisis right now, so I hope you won't hold back."

Ōnoki's words gave Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was covered in injuries and looked extremely disheveled, a headache.

Especially when he saw the way the other two were looking at him, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Actually, we've already presented the intelligence we have; there's really not much more information left."

"Yeah?"

His words clearly made the other three frown, leaving him no choice but to continue speaking.

"That's true. If we had to say, perhaps we were the first to encounter that Otsutsuki Momoshiki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at Hyuga Makoto and Kakashi beside him.

If I remember correctly, these two, along with Tenzo and Uchiha Itachi who didn't kill his entire family), were the first to encounter that guy!

He didn't know whether to call it good or bad luck.

To encounter such dangerous people on a mission is truly incredible luck.

To encounter such a dangerous opponent and escape unscathed—that's incredibly lucky.

"Have you encountered this beforehand?"

Ōnoki and the other two were taken aback for a moment, then they followed the gaze to Kakashi and Hyuga Makoto.

Not only them, but also those who had come with them and those who were already in the room couldn't help but look over.

Their gazes seemed to be saying the same thing.

"You guys are still alive?"

Kakashi couldn't help but roll his deadpan eyes, Hyuga Makoto noticed that Uchiha Izumi was also looking over, so he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Yes, we did encounter it, and more than once. It's all Captain Kakashi's fault and that Pervy Sage for not burning incense before going out."

"More than once?!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment upon hearing this; just how incredibly resilient was this guy?!

Recalling that hundred-meter-long giant sword, its aura that seemed capable of destroying the world with every move, and finally the falling meteorite.

For a fleeting moment, they were truly dazed.

"Yeah, that makes it three times, including this one."

Hyuga Makoto nodded, and Kakashi, knowing what everyone wanted to hear, simply spoke up.

"The first time, he attacked because of some ' Asura's Power,' the second time he mentioned ' Kaguya's descendant,' but the reason for this time is unclear."

"However, it seems that every time that guy makes a move, it's against the Akatsuki Organization..."

Jiraiya had encountered this before, and he touched his chin, unable to resist speaking up.

"Orochimaru and the others must have encountered them as well, otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned it to me. Even the Nucleus Organization, Sumirei, has been keeping an eye on the Akatsuki Organization."

"Have they been keeping an eye on the Akatsuki Organization along...?"

These words left everyone present momentarily stunned. If that were the case, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Only Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, admitting that he had indeed been keeping a close eye on the Akatsuki Organization's powerful attack.

But that's because the Akatsuki Organization really gave him some good stuff...

He didn't want to create such a stereotype. If he really thought that way, how could he get everyone to search for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?

"I wonder if the Nucleus Organization is targeting the Akatsuki Organization because of their leader?"

Hyuga Makoto before finally speaking.

"Although that guy isn't anything special, his eyes are still the Rinnegan..."

"Rinnegan?"

Hyuga Makoto's words stunned Ōnoki and the others, and their expressions instantly turned grim.

Konoha had already presented the relevant information when they convened the Five Kage Summit.

However, neither they nor Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, actually paid much attention to the information about the "Rinnegan".

After all, the Rinnegan is just a legend; it's a unique Dōjutsu only by the Sage of Six Paths!

In particular, that guy was defeated by Hyuga Makoto.

Although Hyuga Makoto is ridiculously strong, no one would put him at that level.

Therefore, the Rinnegan was also marked with what appeared to be two characters on the intelligence Scroll.

But now it seems...

"Jonin, are you sure that's the Rinnegan?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ōnoki spoke in a low voice, and Genji couldn't help but press for an answer.

"Jonin, what do you think of the strength of those eyes?"

"I think that really is the Rinnegan, and those eyes are incredibly powerful."

Hyuga Makoto made a thoughtful gesture before nodding seriously.

"The user is strange; he concealed himself and remotely channeled his power into the puppet using Chakra, and doing so..."

"This will reduce the efficiency of power transmission, greatly affecting the final power displayed."

Following Rasa, Chiyo, who hadn't spoken until now, finally found her area of expertise.

"That's why Puppet Technique ultimately uses Chakra Threads; that guy might not be able to unleash his full power by doing it that way."

"I think so too, and he also scattered his power."

Hyuga Makoto continued speaking, turning to look at Uchiha Izumi and Kakashi.

"We saw it during the battle; he created many clones, but they all displayed the Rinnegan state."

"Indeed, spreading out resources is not good, but this is the most likely scenario..."

Kakashi nodded, and Uchiha Izumi also realized something.

"His puppets couldn't withstand his power; he had to do it!"

"So what we've seen is probably not the full power of those eyes."

Tsunade stood to the side with her arms crossed and spoke in a low voice, while Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.

"That's probably true, after all, that final, enormous monster is something no ordinary person could face."

At this point, everyone fell silent.

Because they discovered that the situation was far more serious than they had imagined!

Even if the Akatsuki Organization might have been made a scapegoat for the Nucleus Organization, no one dares to deny how terrifying they are.

Those S-rank missing-nin, and the fact that their targets were most likely the Tailed Beast, meant that no one could let them go.

Moreover, some of them possess the Rinnegan, which further proves how terrifying they are!

The Nucleus Organization was even more terrifying to the extreme; not to mention its members, the mere glimpse of its leader was enough to drive them to despair.

The earth crumbles and mountains crumble with every gesture; no one can imagine what would happen if a meteorite fell from the sky onto their village!

"What such a terrifying creature seeks is naturally not something ordinary, so..."

Upon realizing this, everyone's expressions immediately became even more serious, and Ōnoki spoke frankly.

"It seems we have a lot to do. We must delve deeper into the Otsutsuki Momoshiki and this Nucleus Organization!"

"Indeed, they are terrifying, and the leader of Akatsuki Organization is probably not dead."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his gaze somewhat complicated.

"After all, if we really killed the Akatsuki Organization leader like that, the Rinnegan would fail, and besides, Uchiha Obito was also there."

"Indeed, it seems we have a lot to investigate."

Genji sighed, rubbed his temples, and spoke.

"Our intelligence personnel must spread out with all their might, leaving no detail unchecked, whether it's the Akatsuki Organization or the Nuclear Group."

Weave.

"I think we should consult some ancient texts. Didn't Jonin Kakashi just mention that?"

Rasa nodded, though his heart was bleeding, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"The Asura's Power" and "the descendants of Kaguya" are both directions worth investigating, and the surname "Otsutsuki" might also be worth exploring...

Once that was the beginning, everyone started discussing it very seriously.

After all, this concerns the entire Shinobi World, and the fate of every single one of them!

But the person Perpetrator all this was watching quietly in the crowd, even with a smile on their face.

"Everything is finally getting back on track----"

Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but sigh. They've started investigating, they've started taking it seriously—this is great news!

He remained skeptical about what they could actually find out.

After all, it's only been a few decades, and most people have already forgotten just how powerful the First Hokage were. It's hard to say what they'll actually leave behind.

Fortunately, he had already decided to personally deliver some materials to them when the time came!

"No need to thank me, after all, I'm doing this for the world too----"

Hyuga Makoto silently sighed, suddenly realizing that he had done too much for this world.

Although because of him, the world seems to be heading towards chaos, but...

"Just tell me whether I did a good deed or not!"

He shook his head slightly; he didn't intend to participate in this discussion, as his consciousness had already settled into the system.

With the meteorite falling, the entire Otogakure was wiped out, and his mission was naturally complete!

This reward is rather interesting...

[Complete the side quest: Suppress the Land of Fields, and become famous throughout the land]

Let everyone see your power.

[Rewards: Complete Eight-Tails Chakra, and information on Orochimaru 'Scroll of Seals]

Looking at this information, Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but swallow hard.

"This seems to be the first time in a long time that I've seen the word 'complete' in a reward description..."

He did so much, and the rewards he received were considerable.

But before this, they were all in small quantities or large quantities; he had never seen anything as complete as this before.

And this was a huge blow to him; he received the complete Eight-Tails Chakra, second only to the Nine-Tails!

"Although the full Chakra of the Eight-Tails is not even half as strong as that of the Nine-Tails, but..."

With this Chakra, he was finally able to awaken the eyes of the Ten-Tails Husk within him!

More importantly, he also obtained half of the body of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"Whether I Sacrificial Alchemy or to feed my Ten-Tails, it's another huge boost. In that case..."

He slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Those bastards from the Moon Ōtsutsuki actually pelted him with meteorites; there's no reason for them not to avenge him.

Unfortunately, he hasn't found the way up yet. All he can do is grow slowly until he can get there!

"When the time comes, none of you will escape."

He took a deep breath, too lazy to think about those things anymore, and focused his attention on another part of the reward.

"I've seen double-yolk eggs before, but this is the first time I've seen one like this."

Looking at this part of the reward, he couldn't help but ponder it.

Was it because he did an exceptionally good job this time that he received such a reward?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he had already obtained the reward, and he was indeed very interested in what was inside!

"I have indeed read some of the information in the Scroll of Seals, but there are some documents that I cannot access right now, such as..."

The Dead Demon Consuming Seal, and the Impure World Reincarnation that even made him scratch his head.

"I was just thinking about whether I should use the Impure Tobirama Senju Impure World Reincarnation and do something with him, but I didn't expect this technique to be delivered to me like this?"

Looking at such a generous gift, Hyuga Makoto was at a loss for words.

Regardless, the gains this time were enormous.

If he can find the time to properly process all of this, then this will be another major leap forward for him!

"Senior, senior..."

Just as Hyuga Makoto was looking at his reward and imagining the future, Uchiha Izumi's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"The Hokage-sama is calling you..."

"Um?"

Hyuga Makoto snapped out of his daze and realized that everyone was looking at him, which puzzled him.

"What's wrong, everyone? What's going on?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Makoto, I mainly wanted to ask you about your assessment of the Rinnegan's abilities, and what you were thinking about so intently just now?"

"As for my abilities, I can provide written documentation. As for what I'm thinking..."

Hyuga Makoto casually stroked his chin, his mind racing before he finally spoke softly.

I'm thinking about something.

"What's up?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were stunned for a moment, Hyuga Makoto spoke softly.

"Since Otsutsuki Momoshiki made his move for the Rinnegan, could we also start from that angle?"

"What's the meaning?"

"For example, we could have the people from Iwagakure pretend to defect and join Akatsuki Organization with my Flying Thunder God Mark, then we could ambush Nagato and kill him?"

Cough cough cough...

"At the very least, we can try to catch that Konan!"

"Konan?"

"Yes, that's his closest person. If we can capture this woman, we might be able to force him to gouge out his eyes!"

"Hiss, this..."

"Although it's very unethical to do this, someone taught me that a ninja must stop at nothing."

66

"I think we should give this method a try!"

Hyuga Makoto spoke slowly, but everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely bewildered. What did he mean by "someone taught you"? Who was he implying...?

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind was buzzing, inside the Land of Rain base, Black Zetsu looked at the half-dead Nagato.

And that Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, its body half-shattered and riddled with cracks, its phantom image began to distort!

"It's over..."

"Why did it turn out like this..."

"Why do you bunch of idiots always make things look like this?!"
