Kisame? Evil Old Monkey Hiruzen!

"What!?"

Inside the Hokage's Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.

Looking at the dazed Jiraiya and Kakashi, and the innocent-looking Hyuga Makoto, he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

"Makoto, you really mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Um.."

Hyuga Makoto nodded and spoke honestly.

"I guess I've learned it. Anyway, I can use it now, and it's not difficult at all."

"It's easy to use..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his breath catch in his throat. Not difficult?

Damn it, this is the first time he's ever heard of such a thing!

How many people in Konoha have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique since the village's founding?

In total, there are only five, okay?

Only the Second Hokage and Fourth could be used independently and form a fighting force!

As for the Flying Thunder God Formation, that thing is only suitable for teleportation and is difficult to form a truly effective combat force.

In a situation like this, you're telling me it's not difficult?!

For a moment, the old man felt his fist harden.

However, in the blink of an eye, his expression changed.

One second his forehead was covered in frown lines, and the next second a bright smile appeared on his wrinkled face!

Even Hyuga Makoto was stunned by such speed.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up. If he hadn't been maintaining the restraint of Hokage, he would have burst into laughter!

Flying Thunder God...--

This is the legendary technique that his teacher used to kill Izuna Uchiha, a technique that made that stubborn old Ōnoki extremely wary!

He originally felt that Hyuga Makoto's basic qualities were just right for the Flying Thunder God technique.

It could even be described as tailor-made!

But whether it will succeed or not, he himself didn't have too many expectations, after all, this technique requires too much talent.

And sure enough, this kid actually learned it right away?

"Makoto, your talent is truly amazing, simply incredible!"

"I guess I was lucky. If it weren't for those documents, I probably wouldn't have been able to grasp the key point."

Hyuga Makoto has always been humble, he said with a smile.

"I have benefited greatly from the original manuscript of the Second Hokage, in particular."

"The teacher was not only a great Hokage and a powerful ninja, but also a genius inventor of Ninjutsu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi became even happier when his teacher was mentioned.

"The Flying Thunder God was invented by the teacher, Minato improved upon it. You're starting from the original draft; it seems your approach is different."

"They are indeed quite different."

Hyuga Makoto nodded; the Flying Thunder God of the Second Hokage was indeed somewhat different from that of the Fourth Hokage.

Simply put, one is the initial version, and the other is the improved version.

In the future, Boruto will also create his own version!

"But the core concept remains the same. I just want to understand the most basic things, so..."

At this point, Hyuga Makoto glanced at Jiraiya, whose eyes were Jiraiya somewhat blank.

"I'm not slacking off, right? I just don't want to study. I'm not Pervy Sage who can't learn!"

Jiraiya snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, but he opened his mouth without uttering a single word.

He suddenly realized that this kid, like the three generations of old men, was a bit vengeful.

"Ignore this idiot."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know what had happened, he still glanced at his good-for-nothing disciple.

"He was the only one who got hung from a tree when he used to steal the bells."

Jiraiya pursed his lips, feeling as if he had returned to the era when he was "dominated by Orochimaru".

After all, this old man has always favored Orochimaru, and now it seems he's gone even further?

However, he was also very happy, Hyuga Makoto was also his disciple!

"With this technique, I believe this mission will be safer and we can do it better!"

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely excited, he did not forget his business.

"The information from Danzo's side has come out, and I think it's basically confirmed."

"Oh?"

When it came to serious matters, Jiraiya immediately became serious, and even Kakashi was still somewhat dazed, snapped back to reality.

Hyuga Makoto blinked and asked curiously.

"Has the news about Uchiha Obito been confirmed?"

"No, the Fourth Mizukage never leaves his house, Danzo's men can't see them."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and took out Scroll, handing it to Hyuga Makoto and the other two.

"But that's the most abnormal thing, especially now that Kirigakure is in such a chaotic state."

"Kirigakure really in such a chaotic state?"

Jiraiya stared in astonishment at the Scroll that Hyuga Makoto had unfurled, and Kakashi couldn't help but speak up as well.

"The Mizukage and the Elders are at odds, riots are breaking out everywhere, this village—"

"It seems the Fourth Mizukage is truly under control."

Hyuga Makoto nodded knowingly, his face full of seriousness.

"Otherwise, a normal Shadow wouldn't sit idly by and watch the village become like this."

"That's right, it seems your prediction has come true again."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hyuga Makoto, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Uchiha Obito might have actually used Genjutsu to control the Fourth Mizukage!"

After these words were spoken, a moment of silence fell over the Hokage's Office.

Even though they were somewhat prepared, hearing the result still sent a chill down their spines.

To control an entire village is an utterly despicable act!

Even without the most accurate results, it's hard for them to doubt that it wasn't Uchiha Obito who did it.

"This guy is far worse than I imagined."

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh, while Kakashi appeared very calm, though he was actually very anxious inside.

"Hokage-sama, when do we set off?"

"If possible, head to the Land of Whirlpools as soon as possible; Mori Ibiki's squad is there."

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Kakashi's feelings, and he didn't hesitate much.

"According to intelligence, a group of Cipher Ninja from Kirigakure are heading to Land of Whirlpools. Their mission is to capture and investigate code-wielding individuals."

"The Cipher Squad?"

Upon Hyuga Makoto's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.

It seemed like he had actually seen this scene before.

"That's right, this is a unique communication method used by Kirigakure. Their intelligence network is quite impressive."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slightly and said in a low voice.

"Mori Ibiki's interrogation skills are beyond question, and those Cipher Ninja will make it easier for you to infiltrate Kirigakure."

"I understand, we'll leave as soon as possible."

Jiraiya naturally understood what this meant; they wanted to use those guys' identities to infiltrate Kirigakure.

At the very least, let them be our guides!

"Thank you for your hard work. Please be careful as well."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, but his gaze remained fixed on Hyuga Makoto.

The key to this mission is still Hyuga Makoto!

Both his Byakugan and his strength are key factors in determining the success of this mission.

Now, he has also mastered the Flying Thunder God, which will only make this mission go even more smoothly!

And what's going smoothly isn't just the mission itself, but also the future of the village.

"Sincere..."

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.

Just as he opened his mouth, Hyuga Makoto suddenly looked up.

"Hokage-sama, you've certainly thought this through carefully!"

"?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned dark instantly.

But before he could stop him, he saw Hyuga Makoto smiling intently.

"The Cipher Ninja might be able to meet the Mizukage, which would allow us to launch a more surprise attack!"

"Uh..." I'll lock Uchiha Obito then, Captain Kakashi will break the Genjutsu, and the Pervy Sage will release the Tailed Beast directly.

"You..."

"The Three-Tails descended upon Kirigakure, and all the blame Uchiha Obito. We can still take revenge on Kirigakure!"

"Taiyin... you are amazing, Hokage-sama!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi silent, while Makoto Hyuga Makoto days.

The problem is, he hasn't thought it through yet.

He's not Danzo, he's not!

"Let's set off immediately..."

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally waved his hand weakly; he was truly exhausted.

As for stopping Hyuga Makoto, he felt there was no need to say anything, because he himself was also a little tempted.

He simply said nothing, letting the three of them play it by ear. "Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and go."

Jiraiya was also a little flustered. He immediately pulled Hyuga Makoto and walked outside, with Kakashi awkwardly bowing and following behind.

Suddenly, the once bustling Hokage's Office was left with only Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The old man sat there silently for a long time, pondering why he seemed to be getting closer and closer to Danzo in Hyuga Makoto's eyes.

As he was thinking about it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he couldn't control himself anymore.

Hahahahahaha...,.,,.

"Why do you always make wild guesses?"

On the streets of Konoha, Jiraiya looked at Hyuga Makoto and couldn't help but make a comment.

But Hyuga Makoto didn't seem to care at all, and even asked a question in return.

"The Pervy Sage, even the Lord Third didn't object, did he?"

"Isn't it because you made me angry?"

Kakashi replied helplessly from the side before speaking in a low voice.

"Lord Jiraiya, Makoto, I think we should head straight there, I..."

"Can't wait any longer?"

Jiraiya patted Kakashi on the shoulder; he understood Kakashi.

If he were in Orochimaru's shoes, he wouldn't be able to tolerate it either.

"I don't care, but should Cheng go back and say hello?"

"No need. The missions for the Anbu are random anyway, I'm used to it."

Hyuga Makoto shrugged indifferently, though he still felt a little regretful.

"It's a bit of a shame that we can't collect some equipment funding."

"You little rascal..."

Jiraiya almost laughed out of anger Jiraiya he heard this.

"Stop thinking about that money. Hyuga will be yours in the Hyuga. Do you really need more money?"

The affairs of the Hyuga Clan are extremely secretive; the entire Konoha is largely unaware of what has happened.

After all, the Hyuga Clan belongs to Autonomous Region, and the Branch Family would love for the Main Branch to die!

Everyone was in perfect unison at that moment, and no one said anything out of the ordinary; most people really wouldn't know.

But Jiraiya is no ordinary person. He naturally knows what the Hyuga is like now, and he is even more aware of Hyuga Makoto's position within the clan!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked that question earlier. He just didn't expect that even in his Hyuga Makoto would still be as greedy as ever.

"Tch, those belong to the clan, not mine."

Hyuga Makoto shook his head dismissively, then suddenly gave Jiraiya a suspicious look.

"Could it be that the Hokage-sama... took the village's money..."

"Hiss!"

Jiraiya and quickly covered Hyuga Makoto's mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense. I never said that, and I don't know anything about it."

"Then why are you in such a hurry..."

Hyuga Makoto shoved him away, his gaze becoming even more puzzled.

"Could it be that you've actually seen it?"

"Let's set off immediately, immediately!"

Jiraiya really didn't want to continue talking to Hyuga Makoto, especially discussing such things on the street—wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Didn't you know to find a secluded place to talk things out...?

Jiraiya was filled with frustration, Kakashi was also somewhat depressed, and seeing this, Hyuga Makoto didn't say anything more.

He'll take this time to think carefully about the new task he's just received!

[A new side quest has been obtained]

[1. Kisame, you all must die!]

[2. Kisame, do you want to see the real world?]

[A new side quest has been obtained]

[1. The evil Old Ghost Sarutobi, belonging to the "Night of the Three-Tails" of Kirigakure]

[2. I've joined the Akatsuki Organization!]

Looking at these two tasks, Hyuga Makoto's lips twitched involuntarily.

It's quite rare to get two missions at once; I've only experienced this before when I encountered Orochimaru.

The appearance of these two tasks made him feel that this mission might be quite interesting.

"And I was right, it really was Kisame..."

Hyuga Makoto felt a pang of emotion; to be honest, this was a real man!

In his view, the people of Kirigakure were the most disciplined ninjas in the entire Shinobi World.

Furthermore, they were all missing-nin.

Juzo Biwa is like that, Zabuza not much different, and Kisame is even more awe-inspiring.

He was stunned when he watched the anime, and Might Guy and Naruto, who witnessed it all, were also dumbfounded!

"But this guy really had a tough time, being tricked into that grotesque state by Uchiha Obito..."

In his view, Kisame was the only one who truly followed Uchiha Obito.

After all, Kisame's beliefs had collapsed, and he couldn't see a future.

Uchiha Obito seized this opportunity and gave him a new option.

Hyuga Makoto felt that he had no reason to give Uchiha Obito that opportunity!

"After all, you won't be able to hide it any longer, so why bother..."

As for the second task, Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of the Second Hokage's disciple, as expected of the evil Old Ghost Sarutobi!

"No wonder you didn't say anything, so you've already tacitly agreed..."

Since the Third Hokage has this idea, then he shouldn't hesitate!

The Kirigakure has repeatedly harassed Konoha; they're no ordinary thugs. A strong counterattack is necessary... "Makoto, did I disturb you?"

Just as Hyuga Makoto was pondering how to deliver a powerful blow, Kakashi suddenly leaned down beside him and asked.

I'd like to ask you some questions.

"Ah?"

Hyuga Makoto daze and immediately understood what Kakashi meant.

"Captain, are you trying to cram at the last minute?"

I guess so.

Kakashi nodded, his gaze also somewhat serious.

"No matter how much I can learn, I have to work harder, after all..."

"I understand, Captain."

Although Kakashi interrupted his train of thought, Hyuga Makoto didn't seem to care at all.

He looked at Kakashi intently, pondered for a moment, and then chuckled softly.

"Furthermore, I have a new idea based on your Sharingan!"

"?"
