Accident and the Byakugan Fusion Plan
In the Shrine behind the Fire Temple, with the help of everyone, Sarutobi Hiruzen had sealed most of the Nine-Tails Chakra into Naruto's body.
"Naruto, hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon."
Seeing that Naruto's expression was gradually becoming pained, Sarutobi Hiruzen offered words of encouragement.
Although a lot of Chakra has been sealed in Naruto's body, Naruto is obviously still a long way from reaching his limit. Therefore, it would be best for Sarutobi Hiruzen to seal all of this Chakra into Naruto's body without leaving any behind, so as to prevent others from coveting it.
After all, they've come to the Fire Temple, and if they're determined, they're bound to find something out.
He didn't actually intend to hide Sarutobi Hiruzen. Konoha's acquisition of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki again would also serve as a deterrent to other villages.
After the Five Kage Summit, the Land of Whirlpools was rebuilt, and the Shinobi World's landscape will definitely undergo tremendous changes in the future. Sarutobi Hiruzen only hopes to make up for the mistakes he made in the final days of his term.
Kushina's existence has already fully demonstrated the power of the Kurama, so as long as Naruto can master the power of the Nine-Tails Chakra, even if he is just False Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the strength he can unleash will be extremely terrifying.
Minato is already excellent enough, Naruto's talent is no less than Minato's. With the power of the Kurama, if they are properly nurtured, Konoha may even produce a ninja stronger than Shiraha and Kushina in the future.
As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who trained Naruto, his past mistakes can be glossed over, since his merits outweigh his flaws, and he is still a hero of Konoha.
It all starts with firmly controlling Naruto.
During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo exchanged a lot of information, including the special arm that Orochimaru cultivated for him using the First Hokage Cells, which could accommodate the Sharingan.
Originally, thanks to the medicinal bath recipe left by Shiraha, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his body had regained the feeling of his youth. In addition, by combining the First Hokage Cells transplantation technology left by Orochimaru and Shiraha, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned the Medical Ninja in his direct Anbu to secretly perform the First Hokage Cells transplantation on him.
Although he was transplanted with only low-activity First Hokage Cells, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his Chakra and physical condition had greatly improved, as if he had recovered from his peak condition at age forty to age sixty.
Known as the "Doctor of Ninjutsu," he has mastered thousands of ninjutsu techniques. However, due to old age and declining health, he no longer uses many of the ninjutsu techniques that consume a lot of Chakra. But now, he can regain the feeling of his youth and his confidence has been restored.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that even if he regained his peak power, he would most likely be no match for Shiraha and Kushina, the Shinobi World had now entered a period of peaceful development, and there was no need to treat them as enemies anymore. On the contrary, he should take advantage of the strength of the Land of Whirlpools to help Konoha recover its strength quickly.
In response, Sarutobi Hiruzen treated the remaining Uchiha Clan very well and allowed them to return to the political center. As a result, the remaining Uchiha Clan members calmed down and even considered the departing Uchiha members as traitors.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen giving Fugaku and Itachi more important roles, he regained some public support and at least stabilized the situation, thus securing his Hokage position.
After all, in Konoha now, the only ones who could challenge his Hokage position are Jiraiya, Tsunade, and others.
Jiraiya had no interest in the Hokage position, and Tsunade was unwilling to return to Konoha. The only remaining option was Nawaki, who had a high reputation and respected him. Therefore, without a complete falling out, he was able to maintain his Hokage position.
Now, all he needs to do is let Naruto grow stronger, and once Minato awakens, he can then return the Hokage position to Minato.
Given Minato's character, and considering how he has taken care of Naruto, Xiangling, Luming all these years, he certainly wouldn't treat the Minato Sarutobi Clan unfairly. In that case, his eldest son should be able to keep his position as Anbu Captain, and his younger son will also have the opportunity to enter the decision-making level and become Hokage Advisor in the future.
"Yes, Third Hokage, I can still hold on!"
Naruto's little face was full of determination. Although he was sweating profusely from the pain, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
' Fire Style: Blast Wave Wild Dance!'
A terrifying Fire Style Chakra descended from the sky, the scorching flames distorting the space above the Shrine. Then, Uzumaki -like patterns appeared in the space, like a rapidly spinning Uzumaki, stirring up gusts of wind and turning the Fire Style in the sky into a giant fire serpent that crashed down, about to strike the Shrine in an instant.
Obito immediately unleashed his killing move, combining his Mangekyō Sharingan with Fire Release Ninjutsu. He released Kamui to continuously create a vortex-like distorted space and cause a strong whirlwind, before releasing Fire Style. This Fire Style technique was among the best offensive ninjutsu in terms of speed, range, and power.
"Oh no!"
"Not good!"
"Enemy attack!"
The Konoha Jōnin maintaining the barrier below paled in shock. Such a wide-ranging Fire Release Ninjutsu, with such a high flight speed, must be incredibly powerful. They immediately used their own ninjutsu to try and stop the falling giant fire serpent.
' Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!'
' Earth Release · Earth Flow Rampart! '
The Jōnin's Water Style and Earth Release techniques were extremely large, but they were unable to withstand the enormous fire serpent that blotted out the sky, and were quickly engulfed by the flames.
"Lord Third Hokage, you continue, I'll defend!" At this moment, Nawaki, who had been maintaining Wood Release: Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands, Nawaki outputting Chakra, and the 'seat' syllable in the center of his palm disappeared.
' Wood Release · Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall! '
' Water Style · Water Formation Wall! '
With a flurry of hand Hand Seals, Nawaki first used Wood Release: Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall, where rows of arched wooden pillars emerged from the ground, forming a sealed archway that completely enveloped and protected the entire Shrine.
Immediately afterwards, he used Water Style. He opened his mouth slightly and a continuous stream of Water Style Chakra spewed out, turning into a surging torrent the moment he landed.
"Come to me, everyone!" Nawaki called out.
The Konoha Jōnin around him, as well as the remaining monks, all came to Nawaki's side. A huge wall of water rose from the ground, spiraling upwards, enveloping Nawaki and the others, and protecting the entire Shrine as well.
A Water Release Ninjutsu with a D-rank difficulty level was used by Nawaki with the power of an extremely high-level ninjutsu.
Even Jōnin skilled in Water Release Ninjutsu can only reach less than one-tenth of his level.
This is the strength that Nawaki possessed after his Nawaki, which were transplanted with First Hokage Cells, awakened his Wood Release abilities, and reached their peak physical condition.
Boom!
Sizzle!
The enormous fiery serpent crashed down, colliding head-on with the water wall released by the Nawaki. Under the scorching flames, a large amount of water was heated and evaporated, and mist rose up.
The entire water wall shook violently, and a gap was punched in the top by the giant fire serpent.
"Ha!"
Seeing this, Nawaki shouted and increased his Chakra output to block the gap at the top, while simultaneously counterattacking the giant fire serpent.
Finally, the water wall and the fire snake disappeared simultaneously.
Several veteran Jōnin couldn't help but think of the Second Hokage, the ninja who was said to have made a pact with the sea.
The power of Nawaki's Water Style is estimated to be Second Hokage.
As expected of the grandson of the First and Second Hokage, his talent is truly terrifying.
"Careful!"
Nawaki looked at the Masked Man appeared in the mist and warned him.
Upon seeing this, the Konoha Jōnin immediately became alert, protecting the Shrine behind them and refraining from launching an attack on Obito immediately.
Because they did not expect the suddenly appearing enemy to be so powerful. Most importantly, he was able to appear without being noticed by the Sensor Ninja present and launch an attack at such close range.
Judging from the power of that Fire Style just now, they knew that this was definitely Kage Level expert, someone they couldn't handle.
We must protect the Shrine now. Once the Third Hokage Chakra sealing the last bit of Kurama ' chakra, we can then deal with the mysterious Masked Man in front of us.
Although the Third Hokage is old, he is still a powerful ninja who ranks among the top in the Shinobi World. With Nawaki by his side, they can definitely handle the current situation.
Jiriku and Sarutobi Asuma stood solemnly on either side of the Nawaki, ready to provide support at any moment.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Nawaki noticed the Mangekyō Sharingan under the Masked Man's mask and felt a chill in his heart. Seeing that the other party did not launch another attack, he also had the idea of stalling for time.
"Your mastery of Water Style and Wood Release is very strong, but unfortunately, your Water Style is not as good as Tobirama's, and your Wood Release is not as good as Hashirama's. You are far inferior." Obito lowered his voice and imitated Madara's voice, speaking calmly.
"My abilities are naturally insignificant compared to my second grandfather and grandfather, but who are you? What gives you the right to address my two elders by their first names?!"
There are very few people in the Uchiha Clan who can use Fire Release Ninjutsu to this extent.
Judging from your voice, you don't sound like anyone I know. Since you're here, why are you hiding? Is there something you're ashamed of?!
Masked Man's tone, which suggested he knew his second grandfather and grandfather, Nawaki became even more wary and continued to probe him.
"I am Uchiha," Obito said slowly.
"What?!"
"Uchiha Madara?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
The ninjas in the arena were all shocked. Uchiha Madara was a strongman comparable to the First Hokage. If he was still alive, he would be at least over ninety years old.
A ninja of that age is already quite capable of taking care of himself; how could he possibly still use such a powerful Fire Style?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
' Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!' At this moment, Obito ignored the incredulous crowd, put his hands together, and used the Wood Style Secret Technique. A large number of trees burst out of the ground and swept towards the crowd in front of him.
This is a simplified version of the Wood Release Deep Forest Emergence Wood Style Secret Technique, which creates far fewer trees than the original Wood Release Deep Forest Emergence.
Even so, this move stunned everyone present.
It's Wood Release again!
"Who goes there?!"
At that moment, a roar of Sarutobi Hiruzen and anger suddenly came from the middle of the Shrine.
******
The Demon Country.
The Central Palace.
Underground Bio Lab.
Shiraha opened the Nutrient Tank filled with nutrient solution and then drained the nutrient solution through the pipes.
According to the agreement made with Kakuzu, Kakuzu would serve as the Minister of Finance when the Land of Whirlpools was re-established. Therefore, when Shiraha came to the Demon Country this time, he also brought Kakuzu back to the Land of Whirlpools.
As for Sasori, he will continue to stay here. Kakuzu's vacancy will be filled by Shiraha's Wood Spirit Avatar, "Uchiha Issei." The biological laboratory here can also be fully utilized by "Uchiha Issei."
With Uchiha Issei's current strength, he is more than capable of protecting the Demon Country.
In addition, "Uchiha Issei" has another mission, which is to find "Shin" who is still a teenager in this world. With his special physique, it will be easier to conduct Cell Experiment.
Unfortunately, Shiraha had already communicated with Orochimaru, and there was no boy named 'Shin' under his command.
According to Orochimaru's account in the Parallel World, Shin in his youth voluntarily participated in human experiments and came to him on his own. Therefore, Shiraha can only let "Uchiha Issei" search for him slowly for now.
Next, Shiraha will focus on developing Cloning Technology, cultivating the Mangekyō Sharingan, and researching the Byakugan.
"Where am I?" Hizashi Hyuga opened his eyes, waking up from the Nutrient Tank. After sleeping for several years, he felt weak and powerless.
"This is the Demon Country."
Shiraha spoke up.
Hizashi Hyuga then noticed Shiraha standing next to the Nutrient Tank, his expression changing slightly as he said, "You are... Shiraha!? How could I... I remember now, I came here voluntarily, that man..."
"I think you should pay close attention to the changes in your body," Shiraha interrupted Hizashi's recollection, reminding him.
"Feel the changes in my body! My body! Where is the Caged Bird Curse Seal?! Am I free?"
Hizashi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the special Chakra that filled his brain had disappeared without a trace. The Caged Bird Curse Seal, which he regarded as a confinement and was willing to risk his life to get rid of, had been completely eliminated.
"Why is that? How did you do that?!" Hizashi stared intently at Shiraha.
"The person who saved you is my subordinate, and I helped you break the Caged Bird Curse Seal in the hope that more Hyūga clan members can gain true freedom."
Shiraha said solemnly.
"You mean," Hizashi thought of an amazing possibility.
"You don't know yet, do you? Because of the oppression from Konoha, most of the Uchiha Clan members have chosen to leave Konoha and join the Land of Whirlpools. Now the Shinobi World has a new structure of Six Great Nations and Six Great Ninja Villages."
"How is this possible?!"
Shiraha's words completely stunned Hizashi.
Although Shiraha spoke of it casually, each of these two things was more difficult to do than the last.
"I think it's time to liberate those oppressed Hyuga Branch Family. Would you be willing to help them break free from the shackles of the Caged Bird Seal?"
Shiraha added.
If even the Mangekyō Sharingan can be cloned, then the Byakugan, which is of a lower level, should also be cloned.
According to Naruto's memories, awakening the Tenseigan requires either combining a large amount of Byakugan or combining a high-purity Byakugan with the Chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan.
Therefore, if a large number of the Hyuga Branch Family members provide him with cells and Eye Power for research, he has a high probability of being able to evolve the Byakugan.
It is now clear that the end of the "Divine Tree" bloodline is the Otsutsuki, so Shiraha has a clear path to improve, further enhancing the purity of his bloodline.
Those who possess his pure bloodline, such as Shion, Taichi, and Hikari, all have the opportunity to awaken the Tenseigan, which would result in an exceptionally terrifying boost to their combat power.
Whether it's the Tenseigan or the Rinnegan, both can increase the chances of winning against the Otsutsuki Clan in the future.
Compared to the path of sorcerers, the path of Chakra is obviously easier to improve, at least for Shiraha.
In particular, the path of the sorcerer and the path of Chakra do not conflict; the two are compatible.
His children don't have the "Book of the Ancient Warlock." Even with the excellent training conditions he provides, Shiraha will still inevitably have to Plane Exploration in the future, and his main body may even leave this world. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that his descendants have stronger abilities.
Of course, if someone has such favorable conditions but still stagnates, that's a personal problem.
Even Shiraha himself couldn't guarantee that he would be able to advance to Fourth-Level and Fifth-Level.
Now all he needs to do is increase the number of experimental samples. The best way is naturally to repeat the old trick and make the oppressed Hyuga Branch Family leave Konoha and join the Land of Land of Whirlpools, this new country of equality, and then slowly carry out the Tenseigan awakening plan.
"I understand, I know what to do." Hizashi silence, Hizashi finally made his choice.
From any perspective, this matter did him no harm. Without the Caged Bird Seal, the Branch Family family members would have a new future, especially his son Neji, who would have more options.
The members of the Branch Family, who have been oppressed for hundreds of years, should stand up again!
