"Are you crazy! No... no, I shouldn't have asked you to demonstrate! Anyway, put it away now!"
To Qi's surprise, after Kakashi realized what was happening, his first words were not to inquire about the Shikotsumyaku, but rather, with a tense expression, he shielded Qi's back with his body and growled in a low voice.
"What's wrong with you...?"
Although he didn't quite understand, Qi still put away the bone spear that had mutated, just like Ice Release technique.
"Tell me, how does this thing compare to your Ice Release?"
Seeing that Qi had put away the bone spear, Kakashi's expression softened, but he was much more serious than before.
"I didn't know that. I only discovered it recently and haven't used it yet."
Qi thought for a moment and said,
"This thing is for Taijutsu. In close combat, it should be more useful than Ice Release. It's also more durable than ordinary ninja tools."
"That's incredibly powerful..."
Kakashi seemed quite annoyed as he scratched his head.
"I never expected something like this to happen at this time..."
"Is there anything wrong with that? I've even done things like establishing a clan. It's just a bloodline inheritance, what's the big deal?"
Qi didn't quite understand Kakashi's reaction. In his view, within the ninja village's organizational system, nothing could be more significant than the emergence of a new clan. He had only suddenly gained a bloodline limit ability; what did that matter?
In contrast, what he was concerned about was whether the mutated Shikotsumyaku in his body would still threaten his lifespan.
"If you hadn't established a clan, it would be a problem, but because you're going to establish one, it becomes a huge problem! There isn't a single ninja clan in the Shinobi World that possesses two powerful and complementary bloodlines."
Kakashi glared at him.
"Really... why didn't you say so sooner? Never mind, after you get back to the village, hurry up and find your teacher. This matter must be kept a secret until you establish your clan, otherwise some people won't be able to handle the shock."
"..."
Qi suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Damn it, how come some people can make such a big fuss over such a trivial matter?
He immediately gained a deeper personal understanding of Danzo's deep-rooted "internal Danzo.
Of course, he wasn't as extreme Danzo, nor would he agree with something just because he had experienced it multiple times. In his view, if an organization truly had no internal conflicts, that would be abnormal, as it would have lost the environment necessary for normal development.
He was clear about this; personal grudges and organizational interests, once mixed together, would be a disaster.
Furthermore, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. With enemies come friends. Those who are enemies will remain enemies even without this incident. However, if we can use this opportunity to win over more allies, then it's a win-win situation.
"Yes, it was my oversight this time."
Having figured all this out, Qi's displeasure vanished completely, and he even smiled and patted Kakashi on the shoulder.
"I'll let you know in advance if anything happens in the future."
Whether considering feelings or interests, Kakashi is Qi's closest comrade in Konoha, without exception, and there are almost no secrets between them.
Although Qi is a martial arts enthusiast and Kakashi is a moderate, it is undeniable that the two are the closest in terms of their positions. Both are direct descendants of the Senju Clan branch through their master-disciple relationship, rather than peripheral members bound together by interests.
Although the Senju Clan faction is vast, it actually doesn't have that many members. In the Third Hokage's generation, the internal leadership group consisted of only four people. Going back further, there were only the Sannin, not even counting White Fang. By this generation, there's practically only Minato left. Yes, the Senju Clan faction is large and has countless skilled fighters, but to enter the true core of power, one needs a direct lineage of master and disciple...
Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances and following the normal development pattern, the next generation of the Senju Clan leaders will definitely be led by Kakashi and Qi, and one of them will inevitably become Hokage Position.
Of course, given Qi's character, he wouldn't have any interest in the Hokage Position. In fact, on this point, his thoughts were absolutely the same as Orochimaru's; to these two former master and disciple, being the Hokage was nothing short of torture...
After leaving the Land of Waves, the Land of Fire's warship sailed for several more days before finally arriving at the Land of Fire's naval territory. When a large number of similar Land of Fire warships appeared, the Konoha Ninja, who had been extremely tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that unless it was the Land of Water's navy or one of the Five Kage Level experts who came to attack, their safety was no longer a concern.
In a world where the navy's defenses were limited to the coast, seeing their own navy meant they were very close to home. Escorted by the Land of Land of Fire's navy, the Konoha Ninja arrived at the port almost leisurely and set foot on their own land.
The Feudal Lord of Water, who had been instrumental in facilitating the transaction, dispatched his Prefecture Army to the port to greet them. As soon as the Konoha Ninja landed, the Mizuki Prefecture Army swarmed around them, protecting them and the members of the Yuki Kaguya. They then began escorting the bewildered Konoha Ninja force back to the village.
Although this was entirely unnecessary, it showed how much the Feudal Lord of Fire cared about the establishment of the Huiyue Clan. Well, the Feudal Lord of Fire had done everything he could; the rest was up to Konoha.
Faced with the Daimyo's expectations, Konoha's attitude was equally firm, and its actions were swift. Long before Qi and the others set off for the Land of Water, Konoha had already begun large-scale construction. In addition to the Uchiha and Hyuga Clan clans, the world's number one ninja village finally had a third clan territory. In terms of area, the Huiyue Clan's territory was naturally smaller than that of the Uchiha and Hyuga Clan. After all, the latter two had been developing in Konoha for decades and were both super clans with nearly a thousand people, while the Huiyue Clan now only had three or four hundred people.
Therefore, when Qi returned to Konoha, the first news he received was that the documents for establishing the Huiyue family territory had been approved, the basic construction of the territory was basically completed, and there was still a lot of vacant land in the Huiyue family territory. With the future development of his family, expansion would be a very easy thing.
Three days later, a notice was sent to the entire village of Konoha, and was also sent back to their home countries by spies from various countries stationed in Konoha through various means.
Konoha Village, the Huiyue Clan, must be established!
