Land of Fire.
Konoha.
Fifth Hokage's succession ceremony is about to begin.
The Konoha street, which was originally not very lively after reconstruction, has also become prosperous due to the arrival of leaders from various countries.
The familiar Ichiraku Ramen and Hyuga Hitoshi smiled at the slightly red-faced Ayame, then broke open their chopsticks and began to enjoy their food, ignoring the complicated-looking villagers and nervously alert ninjas around them.
Even though it hadn't been long since I left this village, returning to Konoha still gave Hyuga Hitoshi a feeling of being in another world.
As time goes by, Naruto and Tenten grow up, which makes Hyuga Hitoshi miss the passionate feelings of watching anime in his previous life.
Even though he knew that Ninja World had put aside his warm-blooded coat and the endless filth hidden underneath was really disgusting, he still had to admit that he had been moved by those times.
After all, this is the real world.
The real world can never be full of warmth.
After revisiting the old place, Hyuga Hitoshi's mentality has undergone subtle changes.
"Tsunade-sama They didn't come back this time."
Hyuga Hitoshi's meal time was not in a serious restaurant, so after serving Hitoshi Clan Head, little Ayame, who was already able to stand alone, boldly asked curiously.
"They have something to do."
Hyuga Hitoshi smiled, and then pointed to the sky.
"But you should be able to see them when you wait for Inauguration Ceremony."
It's not that I specially sent a congratulatory gift to Fugaku. After all, Hitoshi Clan Head came to attend Inauguration Ceremony in person, which was already the most satisfying gift for Fugaku.
"That's it."
Little Ayame nodded, "But it's really rare for Lord Hitoshi to come alone to eat noodles."
After all, when he was in Konoha, this man always brought his maid and Tsunade-sama and the others around in a flamboyant way. Earlier, this man also arrogantly returned to this village with Mizukage in his arms.
"No way, Mei Terumi is Mizukage after all. When you first come to Konoha, you still need to go through some procedures."
Hyuga Hitoshi was also a little helpless. It was like when he ate noodles before, he didn't even have to break the chopsticks himself.
"And if you look at her like this, she doesn't know how to serve a man. It's better for me to do it myself than to ask her to help."
Pointing at the indifferent woman next to him, Hitoshi Clan Head raised the corners of his mouth slightly, seemingly complaining, but in fact he admired Fugaku's arrangement.
"Lord Hitoshi If you don't need a guide, you can tell me if you don't like it, no need to be weird."
Next to her, a cool voice came, and the breeze blew through her long purple hair. The faint fragrance of her hair mixed with the smell of ramen made Hyuga Hitoshi suddenly feel like she was full.
"And I feel that when Lord Hitoshi summoned the stone statue to destroy the village, he knew the village extremely well. Lord Hitoshi does not need a guide like this. He can understand it on his own in Konoha."
Time is the best medicine to forget pain.
It's a pity that this good medicine has time to work. In just half a year, people will not forget what Hyuga Hitoshi did to Konoha.
So Hyuga Hitoshi can clearly feel the hatred and fear in the eyes around him.
They were angry at Hitoshi Clan Head for destroying the village, but they did not dare to do anything to Hyuga Hitoshi.
Even at this moment, Uzuki Yugao, who was arranged by Hokage-sama with the task of receiving and guiding distinguished guests, was filled with reluctance.
Fugaku understands him. It seems boring to see him wandering around Konoha alone, so he even arranged for him to play with him offline~
But this companion seems to be not very obedient and needs a little training.
"That's not possible. After all, this village is newly built, and the clan leader has never visited many places. Miss Xiyan is indispensable as a guide."
and
Raising his eyebrows, Hyuga Hitoshi looked at Uzuki Yugao suspiciously:
"Yugao Chuunin, you don't want my clan leader to get lost because of your negligence, and have to forcefully force him to find his way home, right?"
This is a naked threat!
Yes.
Who can be sure whether this man can summon the second stone statue sealed by Fifth Hokage?
It would be bad if he was forced to destroy the village!
Despicable and shameless!
The expression on her pretty face changed several times. Finally, Uzuki Yugao felt the pressure increase and had to lean next to Hyuga Hitoshi in humiliation.
Then she obediently took the chopsticks Hyuga Hitoshi handed her, rolled up the noodles, and blew on them with her small mouth before putting them into Hyuga Hitoshi's mouth.
"Not bad."
Hitoshi Clan Head appreciates people who understand current affairs.
Especially after he bit his chopsticks and blew on Uzuki Yugao's fingers. The blushing Uzuki Yugao looked up and spotted Gekko Hayate in the corner. Her expression became more beautiful and complicated than before.
This Clan Head is really a bastard.
Hyuga Hitoshi Grinned, not caring about Gekko Hayate's angry gaze, pulled Uzuki Yugao into his arms and gave him a lip sync.
You Goddess are good!
puff!
After witnessing all this, Gekko Hayate finally spurted out a mouthful of old blood and finally left the show with regret.
hehe.
Since he is still a devil in the eyes of these Konoha people, then do what a bastard should do.
"Is that enough? He's just worried about me."
Uzuki Yugao gave up the struggle and returned to his normal appearance, then looked at each other with a complicated look. The two people who obviously did not get together during this period of time probably have no fate in this life because of Hyuga Hitoshi's intervention.
But Uzuki Yugao didn't know about this, she just felt that Hyuga Hitoshi's act of declaring sovereignty made her extremely dissatisfied.
She is just a guide arranged by Hokage-sama, and is not your Hyuga Hitoshi's private property!
"It's boring, you Konoha people are still the same."
Letting go of Uzuki Yugao and leaving the meal money behind, Hyuga Hitoshi stood up with a leisurely expression.
"This Clan Head just doesn't want my guide to keep a straight face."
Isn't it because of what you did to the village before?
Uzuki Yugao straightened his clothes and then glared at Hyuga Hitoshi.
"Double standards as always."
Hitoshi Clan Head looked disdainful.
"Kumogakure and Iwagakure who started the war, and this Clan Head who destroyed Konoha, are the same people who brought pain to Konoha, and this Clan Head still has a reason, but the arrival of Kumogakure and Iwagakure can make you cheer and forget your hatred, and you can also laugh happily and warmly receive them. How come this Clan Head has changed?"
After all, they are all enemies of Konoha.
But when it comes to Hyuga, it has become unforgivable. Hyuga Hitoshi just wants to say this.
"Or do you think this Clan Head is not harsh enough on this village and needs to increase its efforts? In order to surpass the status of Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"
The stereotype is really harmful.
Finally, Hyuga Hitoshi gently pinched Uzuki Yugao's face with his hands amid her rapidly changing expression.
"Smile."
If you don't want your village to be destroyed again.
The girl heard what he meant.
really.
This time Uzuki Yugao quickly forced out a smile, although this smile was uglier than crying.
But she has realized what the man in front of her represents, and she no longer dares to show her face to him.
Role changes.
At this moment, Yugao Chunin has become a tragic female ninja who sacrificed herself for the village. She did not even dare to be dissatisfied while being bullied.
"Isn't that enough? It seems like you have been wronged by being a guide for me Clan Head. It's not fun to play with a dog-skin plaster by your side."
After eating and drinking, the guide lady has obviously completed her ideological sublimation.
The sun is shining brightly today, so Hitoshi Clan Head continues to revisit Konoha.
And just when Hitoshi Clan Head is remembering the past,
Konoha.
On the iconic building Hokage Rock Faces, a unique master-disciple reunion was also staged at the same time.
It's just that the atmosphere is a bit depressing no matter how you look at it.
Konan's face showed no joy at being reunited with the teacher.
And the way Jiraiya hesitated to speak did not look like a teacher who had taught others earnestly.
After not seeing each other for many years, when he saw Konan again, he felt that there was a big gap between her and the little girl in his impression. Jiraiya didn't know what Konan had gone through in these years to become what she is now.
Especially after he saw Hyuga Hitoshi and Mizukage at Village Entrance, he was about to leave but found another person getting out of the carriage, and this person was Konan. He was completely stunned.
Konan is actually the same as Hyuga Hitoshi.
At this moment, his responsibility as a teacher made him choose to stand up.
He wanted to remind his disciples.
"Hyuga Hitoshi is not a good person and is not worthy of your trust!"
Finally, it was Jiraiya who broke the silence. He looked at his female disciple seriously.
"Let's not talk about personal style issues. After all, the teacher is not a clean person. He is not qualified to criticize others on this point, but..."
When it comes to playing with people's hearts and manipulating power, that man is a terrifying opponent.
"He is a real devil, the source of disruption to the normal order of Shinobi World, and a disaster that causes chaos."
Thinking of the last time he was summoned by Great Toad Sage and went to Mount Myōboku, Great Toad Sage's evaluation of Hyuga Hitoshi, Jiraiya has a creepy feeling.
"Great Toad Sage once predicted that he would bring disaster to this world."
Jiraiya didn't even doubt it.
After all, when Hyuga Hitoshi took action against Konoha, everything was already in place.
"Really? So this is how he looks to others."
Konan looked calm. After listening to Jiraiya's words, his mood did not fluctuate at all. He even got to know the man better through Jiraiya's appearance.
Yes.
That man once said that people's prejudices are like a big mountain. What he sees as a just act is a disaster in the eyes of others.
"Konan, believe the teacher, the teacher is for your own good."
Seeing that Konan was not getting enough oil and salt, Jiraiya looked anxious.
He really didn't want to see Konan go into the abyss and be harmed by that man in the end.
"The teacher feels that for men like Hyuga Hitoshi who are carefree, they still yearn for peace. I hope everyone's Mutual Understanding's Yahiko will be better."
Yahiko and Nagato once made Jiraiya feel that they were Child of Prophecy. Jiraiya also personally taught them and used his own thoughts to guide them in their conduct.
He feels that Yahiko is ten thousand times better than Hyuga Hitoshi, just because of Great Toad Sage's words.
Yahiko ah.
A flash of nostalgia flashed in Konan's eyes, but she did not follow Teacher Jiraiya's words. Instead, she looked down at the village below, and suddenly stretched out her delicate hand and tapped it.
"So what kind of existence does Konoha look like in the eyes of Teacher Jiraiya?"
Comparing the "disaster" of Hyuga Hitoshi, what role does Konoha play?
As expected, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with pride.
This is the village where he lives.
"Justice, sunshine, warmth, unity, and humanity, there are so many advantages that he can't even praise them enough."
What a beautiful village.
Hyuga Hitoshi, who destroyed Konoha before, is simply a beast!
Jiraiya never felt that anything about Konoha was wrong.
But Konan next to him showed a hint of ridicule.
"Yes, it is this village full of justice that once killed Nagato's parents, and then teamed up with Hanzō of the Salamander and that Demigod to kill Yahiko."
The atmosphere came to an abrupt end.
The pride and pride on Jiraiya's face slowly turned into disbelief.
Yahiko!?
Yahiko is dead? Or was it killed by Konoha and Hanzō of the Salamander? Jiraiya's blood surged, and for a moment he felt that the names of the three of them were extremely ironic.
He wanted to explain something, but found that he didn't know how to speak.
"Teacher Jiraiya."
Konan's tone remained the same, and she didn't even have any emotional fluctuations when talking about Yahiko's death.
In her heart, Yahiko is still alive, and they are fulfilling their original great dream.
"I don't blame you for anything. You may blame yourself. After all, as a teacher, you have tried your best. Without you, we would have died in Land of Rain."
This is gratitude from the heart.
"But when you turned around and left and returned to Konoha, we had already walked on a different road. Yahiko has been moving forward with the theory that you entrusted to everyone Mutual Understanding. I believe you have also seen our growth and heard Land of Rain's Akatsuki."
"But the former Akatsuki is dead. Now I represent Amegakure to participate in the celebration of Konoha Fifth Hokage."
"Your current identity is not our teacher, but the ninja of Konoha."
Ignoring Jiraiya's heart-wrenching expression, Jiraiya pointed at his eyes again.
"So you can't mess with our way of thinking anymore."
Mutual Understanding?
No, people can only understand pain. The theory of Nagato is correct. Even Sun God Country of Hyuga Hitoshi, although it has the same concept as Akatsuki, the way for everyone to unite is not to let others understand themselves, but to use the power in their hands!
"Now, I only believe what I see."
Konan said calmly.
"So, do you want to put aside your prejudices and listen to what Hyuga Hitoshi looks like in my eyes?"
What Great Toad Sage
To put it bluntly, he is just a beast.
When did the dreams of animals affect the functioning of the human world?
As for the legend that Great Toad Sage's dream was correct, where is the person who got this theory now?
At least Konan doesn't know.
She only knew that the toad that said Hyuga Hitoshi would bring disaster to Shinobi World had never even seen Hyuga Hitoshi.
"At first, like you, I thought he was a violent maniac who would often threaten others with force."
Isn't it?
Jiraiya's mouth twitched. Looking at Hyuga Hitoshi's life, isn't he like this?
"But that was just a misunderstanding."
A touch of tenderness flashed in Konan's eyes. In the conflict between him and Sasori of the Red Sands, Sasori of the Red Sands was clearly the one who made the move first, and Sasori of the Red Sands had understood the pain and said he would never trouble Hitoshi again.
"Including everything he did in Konoha, the same is true."
"To put it bluntly, isn't it because he wanted to protect the people around him and protect the interests of his clan that he stood up and wanted to make a severance with Konoha?"
"And according to his original intention, he had no intention of taking action against Konoha. On the contrary, he was forced to take action because you kept nagging him and didn't want him to leave, right?"
Has this matter been reported to Amegakure?
Jiraiya's face turned red and he didn't know how to explain it at all.
"When he left the village, didn't Konoha feel sorry for the Hyuga Clan first? And why would everyone selectively forget Hyuga Clan and forget the contribution Hyuga Hitoshi himself had made for Konoha?"
Without Hyuga Hitoshi, whether it was Third Shinobi World War or the later Kumogakure war, Konoha would have been doomed long ago.
In other words, Hyuga was once the benefactor of Konoha.
The benefactor just wanted to leave Konoha. What was wrong with him?
"But all Konoha are just your own family affairs. I am not qualified to comment. I just unilaterally think that there is nothing wrong with him taking his people away from Konoha."
Konan sighed quietly.
"What really changed my impression was the appearance of Sun God Country."
"No matter Five Great Nations, Five Great Ninja Villages, no matter how ninjas like you think of Sun God Country, its existence represents the dream of Akatsuki, and it also gives a ray of light to countless small countries that have been tortured by big countries."
"I believe that if there had been a shelter like Sun God Allied Nations for Land of Rain, Nagato's parents would not have been killed by Konoha Ninja without authorization, and you Konoha would not be able to unite with Hanzō to trap and kill Yahiko."
"You can't even bring the flames of war into Sun God Allied Nations!"
Killing is heartbreaking.
His own village killed his disciple's parents and caused his disciple's death. As a teacher, he couldn't even make the slightest change.
After hearing this, Jiraiya already knew that he had no position to persuade Konan.
"So, in my eyes."
But Konan was still outputting, and she looked at Jiraiya expressionlessly.
"Hyuga Hitoshi, who established Sun God Country and wanted to unite small countries and give them asylum, is undoubtedly a great person. He is doing what Akatsuki failed to do."
In addition
Although the man was very lecherous, Konan could see clearly that the women around him were very nice. Even in Mei Terumi's case, there was no issue of coercion. He only gave the other party strength after asking her wishes.
And they told Mei Terumi and Miru very clearly that if they don't want to, they can find someone else. Everything is their own choice.
Konan is hopeless.
Jiraiya, who has absolutely no idea what Konan has been through these years, now feels quite powerless, and his own disciple almost pointed at his nose and told him what it means to be different from each other.
And Konan also made it very clear.
She still remembers the kindness of teaching her, but now she refuses Jiraiya to dictate her life.
This relationship between master and disciple still exists, but it can never become as pure as before.
Same time, same Konoha.
Hitoshi Clan Head enjoyed the patient guidance of the female ninja who was forced to do business and traveled around Konoha. Konan and through the conversation with Jiraiya, he completely understood his own heart and knew that he was hopeless.
Everyone has a good harvest.
But for them, the mood of Fourth Kazekage Rasa is not so good.
Konoha Somewhere in the Reception Room used to receive guests, Ōnoki and Ai looked at Rasa's gloomy face and laughed out loud.
After Rasa sat down, Ōnoki couldn't help but start teasing.
"What did Mizukage say?"
Originally, there were only three of them meeting this time, but Rasa seemed to think that Mizukage could still fight for it, so he licked his face and invited him personally.
Yes.
"Mei Terumi Tell me to get out."
Rasa felt quite pale, but he was just Mizukage, but he didn't even take him seriously.
That is to say, everyone is with Konoha now, otherwise he would have to go crazy on the spot and let Mei Terumi see what power can suppress One-Tail Shukaku.
"Isn't this obvious?"
Raikage clicked his tongue, not surprised by this.
"Mizukage is obviously the woman of Hyuga Hitoshi. That guy is very good at dealing with women. I heard that the number of people he has had an affair with exceeds double digits now, but no one is jealous."
Speaking of this, he also made a joke.
"Maybe if it fails this time, we will have to use a honey trap to deal with him next time."
I have to say that this is a skill that every man envies.
"It's not a big problem. It's great. When it's over, Mizukage will regret it tomorrow. Just let her go."
Ōnoki is an old man, but his words carry a belief in victory. However, to be on the safe side, he looked at Raikage.
"Raikage boy, among us, you are the only one who has experience fighting Hyuga Clan. What do you think of their combat effectiveness?"
Combat capability?
Raikage thought for a moment and remembered the carpet bombing that covered a wide area. In his impression, apart from the terrifying Hyuga Hitoshi, the only one Hyuga Clan could use was that one move.
But this stop isn't hard to crack.
"In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, I think that when you dispatch two Jinchuriki, their retro tactics will not have much effect."
"But we have to consider whether Hyuga Hitoshi has special means to rush back for support. Intelligence claims that he seems to have mastered a teleportation technique, and we must prevent him from jumping over the wall and summoning the moon to die together."
This is indeed a problem.
Ōnoki nodded, but Shinobi World did not have methods against Space Ninjutsu. Some barriers could restrict their actions very well.
"I said, summoning the moon or something, is it really that outrageous?"
Rasa next to him frowned. When Hyuga Clan defected to Konoha, there were indeed rumors that Hyuga Hitoshi had the means to summon the moon and turn the moon into a strange eye.
But the transmission was completed after all, and now Raikage and Tsuchikage seem to believe this matter?
No, they seem to be those who experienced it firsthand at that time!
"Kazekage boy, although I don't want to admit it, I have to tell you clearly that if I don't have to, I don't actually want to be an enemy of that man."
Ōnoki said with a serious expression.
This time he took action because it was the combined power of Five Great Nations, not only Iwagakure, but also not Hyuga Hitoshi himself.
According to the plan, after they are convinced that Hyuga Hitoshi has come to Konoha, they will order the people lurking around Sun God Country to take action directly to calm down the war as quickly as possible, and then control the people of the Hyuga Clan.
As long as they achieve this step, they will have the confidence to negotiate with Hyuga Hitoshi on an equal footing and force the man who wants to change the situation of Five Great Ninja Villages Five Great Nations to bow his head, giving up his dignity and kowtow just like Hashirama Senju.
Maybe we can use Hyuga Hitoshi's tribe to control this powerful man and do other things to completely crush the determination of those small countries to resist.
And in order to prevent Hyuga Hitoshi from counterattacking, they will also impose certain restrictions on the Hyuga Clan's clan members to act as a check and balance.
At that time, unless this man really wants to die together and challenge the entire Shinobi World on his own, he will definitely be at the mercy of others.
There is no doubt that those tribesmen are Hyuga Hitoshi's weakness besides lust.
This was an action organized by Five Great Nations to target his weaknesses, so Ōnoki participated to re-verify his Will of Stone.
But obviously, no one is aware of a problem.
"Is there a possibility that Hyuga Hitoshi thinks that Hyuga Clan alone can really challenge the entire Shinobi World? That's why he came to participate in Fifth Hokage Inauguration Ceremony with confidence? He really came with a fun mentality?"
Following Raikage's bold speech, the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly became dull.
But the next second, Raikage, Rasa and Ōnoki all laughed out loud.
The thoughts have blinded Raikage!
"Hahaha, you think too much, Raikage boy. Senju Clan Without Hashirama Senju, I can only carry my tail between my legs."
"That's right, Fourth Raikage, can Hyuga Clan be more awesome than Senju Clan?"
"Haha, it's my problem. Just think that I just farted."
That's it.
He Hyuga Clan, why?
Suddenly the atmosphere in the room became cheerful.
But no one knows that Raikage's unintentional words are the real reality.
