The border between Land of Fire and Land of Grass.
Ignoring the complicated looks from Orochimaru and Kakashi, Rabbit Goddess looked at him as if he were looking at rubbish. Hyuga Hitoshi stepped back into Land of Fire without changing his expression.
After "accidentally encountering" two Uzumaki Clan, the pursuit plan was naturally shelved. Although Kakuzu was valuable, in the final analysis it was still not as good as these people around them. It was business to send them back to Hyuga, and drop Orochimaru to Moon Passage on the way, so that he could quickly take up his post.
But unfortunately, people can't help but look at others through colored glasses.
Hitoshi Clan Head also admitted that his reputation in Konoha is not very good. After all, he is surrounded by lolita all year round and even brought a hat to Fugaku.
But this time, Hyuga Hitoshi has a clear conscience.
In fact, Kakashi and Orochimaru knew that they had misunderstood when they saw the grateful expression of the red-haired woman holding the baby.
And this complicated look is actually because he didn't expect that people like Hyuga Hitoshi would sometimes encounter injustice and do things that are not in line with his personality.
Who knows what kind of person Hyuga Hitoshi is in their hearts, anyway, emotions similar to pity for others should not be his.
However, after carefully sensing the power of this woman and the baby girl Life Force in her arms, a flash of understanding flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
Red-haired, powerful Life Force.
The identities of these two people have been revealed.
That's Uzumaki Clan!
Born Jinchuriki?
I heard that Hitoshi-kun captured Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure some time ago. Are you planning to cultivate your own War Machine?
As expected of you, Hitoshi-kun.
Smiling, Orochimaru seemed to feel that he had seen through Hyuga Hitoshi's purpose.
But in the end, only Hyuga Hitoshi himself knows the specific reason.
He didn't intend to train Jinchuriki or anything. Hitoshi Clan Head never thought that he was a good person, but that didn't mean that he couldn't do some good things if he wasn't a good person.
Bringing back Uzumaki Clan mother and daughter is considered a good deed, but it doesn't count.
There are many people with miserable fates in this world. Hyuga Hitoshi is not the Virgin, and it is impossible to save every one of them.
Unless they have their own value.
These two are real orphans of the Uzumaki Clan. After chatting, Hyuga Hitoshi already knew what happened to the Uzumaki Clan.
Her name is Uzumaki Reina, and she escaped with her sister Uzumaki Nanako when Uzumaki Clan was exterminating the clan.
The two sisters were lucky enough to meet a family who was willing to take them in, and the elder sister also fell in love with the son of that family. As a younger sister, she also gave her blessing.
But unfortunately, the good times did not last long. With the outbreak of Third Shinobi World War, the village where their sisters lived was not immune from being swept away by the flames of war.
It's not that big of a deal originally. If you keep a low profile and support it, it's not like you can't support it until War Ended.
But the wild Uzumaki Clan is fatal to any ninja village.
In the end, disaster struck. Under the desperate cover of Uzumaki Nanako, she escaped with her sister's newborn baby girl and fled all the way to Kusagakure.
And just when she wanted to use her Uzumaki Clan unique physique to rely on Kusagakure in exchange for a safe environment, she encountered Hyuga Hitoshi who was pursuing her.
"In the future, you will be extremely happy for your choice."
On the way, after listening to Uzumaki Reina's narration, Orochimaru said calmly that he is best at speculating on others with the greatest malice.
As a scientist who has conducted research on the Uzumaki Clan, Orochimaru's words are authoritative.
"You have underestimated the appeal of Uzumaki Bloodline and the test of human nature caused by war. If you make a deal with Kusagakure, you will eventually be bitten to death by a crazy person."
This is not an alarmist statement.
In fact, it is also the final ending of Karin's "mother" in the original work.
In Karin's memory, her already overwhelmed mother had to go to "treat" people in the village again, but she never came back after that time.
"My lord, I have not underestimated this."
Not all Uzumaki Clan women have a hot temper. The red-haired woman in front of her has a gentle personality, but there is a certain kind of firm light in her eyes.
"After all, that's how my sister died."
The sad eyes flashed by, and Reina thought of her sister and herself being pushed out by the brother-in-law who had become extremely strange. In the end, the family looked at them with eyes full of hatred, even though the person in her sister's arms was that man's daughter.
But she and her sister didn't actually hate those people. If it hadn't been for them, they might have died elsewhere. They had brought disaster to that family and that village, and they all deserved it.
"But Karin is innocent."
Looking at Karin in his arms, Uzumaki Reina showed a touch of softness. This was the bloodline left by his sister.
She is already prepared to use the few healing methods she has at her disposal to become Medical Ninja of Kusagakure. This will at least allow Karin to grow up safely. After Karin has the power to protect herself, she can leave Kusagakure, which will become a devil's cave at any time. This is the firm belief of an ordinary woman.
"Your courage is admirable."
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, looking at Uzumaki Reina with admiration.
However
Why does Uzumaki Reina trust Hitoshi-kun and think Hitoshi-kun is not a bad person?
Because Konoha was once an ally of Uzushio Village?
No no no.
People with this mentality are really ridiculous.
When Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, so many Uzumaki Clan escaped, but even Uzumaki Kushina, she was not willing to go to Konoha herself, but was brought back to the village by Konoha Ninja.
There are some dark secrets hidden here.
And Hitoshi-kun just made it very clear that from now on, Uzumaki Reina and Karin are protected by Hyuga, not Konoha.
It seems that Hitoshi-kun also knows some unknown things.
Hyuga Hitoshi never thought that just doing a good deed would trigger other people's thoughts.
But even if he knew, he would say it doesn't matter.
After Uzumaki Reina's introduction, Uzumaki Reina cannot be treated as a widow. She is Karin's aunt.
This is somewhat different from the original work, but it doesn't matter, this world is very different from the original work in many places.
The original Fugaku stuff is still there, but Sasuke can't open Byakugan, so that's not a big problem.
The entire journey was silent.
In the end, Hyuga Hitoshi sent Orochimaru to the team that transferred the clan members. From now on, Snake Minister officially took office. Before leaving, Snake Minister also told Hyuga Hitoshi the news about Ryūchi Cave, and left a scroll that could lead directly to there.
The atmosphere back in the village was quite silent.
Kakashi did get some news about his father and is still digesting it.
But Hyuga Hitoshi came out with Kakashi. In fact, it was not only asking Orochimaru about Hatake Sakumo, but actually fishing.
And during the previous pursuit of Akatsuki, he actually saw the man who was caught.
But there seemed to be something wrong with his body.
Obito cursed for a long time and then left. He had no intention of coming over to say hello to Kakashi. His expectations were somewhat disappointed, but there were plenty of opportunities, and Hitoshi Clan Head had no regrets either.
Along the way, he led Uzumaki Reina and Karin in a swaggering manner, and Kakashi appeared at the entrance of Konoha.
After all, he is still Konoha's person now. It is best to take them to get an identity certificate. From now on, their existence will be legal.
However, this identity certificate also needs to be mentioned. He plans to absorb them into the Hyuga Clan instead of regular Konoha citizens.
But he obviously didn't know at this moment, as Hyuga Hitoshi, suddenly bringing back a member of the Uzumaki Clan's tribe, how much impact this move would have on certain people.
When Konoha's great hero Shimura Danzō, who was still thinking behind closed doors, received the exact news, he rushed into Hokage Building in a hurry, and then kicked open the door of Hokage Office.
In the office, two figures heard the noise and separated quickly like ghosts. Danzo glanced around and found that Utatane Koharu was also in the room. The wrinkled old face was still an abnormal red color. Seeing him come in, he straightened his clothes.
Sarutobi, who was sitting on the chair, had a face full of anger. He was about to throw out a set of pure blood, but Danzo, who came back to his senses, beat him to the punch!
"Hiruzen! He brought back a Uzumaki Clan!"
The atmosphere in the office suddenly changed with Danzo's eager tone.
"Wait a minute, please explain to me clearly, what is Uzumaki Clan?"
Just after a close contest, Sarutobi is still a little confused. Because he is working on something, he drank away his confidants and did not get the news. Now he is watching Danzo for a long time.
"It's Hyuga Hitoshi. He brought back a woman from the Uzumaki Clan and a child."
Danzo's face was serious, and even now he didn't bother to complain about Utatane Koharu, saying that besides her husband who died of illness, he was the only one, and it was all fucking nonsense.
Not long after this Biwako died, he was able to get together with Sarutobi, and there was no telling how loose her crotch was.
"Is the news confirmed?"
Sarutobi frowned, lit his cigarette out of habit, and also doubted Danzo's news.
no way.
Danzo almost sacrificed Konoha when he suggested it before. He really couldn't trust his old friend 100%.
Moreover, he is in a delicate situation now and has no capital to fall out with Hyuga Hitoshi.
Especially after the war, he found that he really had no way to control the war situation. The arrogance in his heart completely dissipated. Now he is a pure politician, and he has long lost his original courage.
"Is there any confirmation on this? He has already brought his people back to the village!"
Danzo slapped the table with dissatisfaction. He found that his old partner was a little confused.
Yes.
This is what Tobirama-sensei once said about complementarity!
Now, it's time for him to turn the tide!
Bang!
Danzo slapped the table again, this time with a lot of force. Utatane Koharu next to Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Sarutobi was instantly dissatisfied when he saw it. He seemed to have turned on some kind of switch and wanted to scold Danzo, but his old friend put his face directly in front of Sarutobi.
"If you still want to be this Hokage, please wake up!"
Danzo had eager Kakkō in his eyes.
Perhaps it was the days without power that allowed Danzo to see some things clearly.
He also understood that what he relied on was only obtained by being bound to Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. If another person were to be Hokage, especially if Third completely lost his prestige, then he might not even be able to keep his high-level position!
Therefore, Danzo's small brain capacity suddenly awakened a lot, allowing him to make an instant judgment on the situation in front of him, and even rarely, he was much smarter than Sarutobi.
Of course, this is also related to Sarutobi's loss of fighting spirit. After Shinobi Hero returned to power in the original work, he also lost his fighting spirit. He chose to stabilize his position and admitted that Konoha had become extremely weak under his leadership. This can be seen from what happened when he returned to Hokage Position Konoha.
Exposing Orochimaru Human Experimentation, beating Hyuga to death Hizashi, and destroying Uchiha Clan were all part of the process of changing his mentality.
Now, the only thing he values is his Hokage Position!
And Danzo obviously caught this!
"Hiruzen, look at the Hyuga Clan now! Look at Hyuga Hitoshi's trump card!"
Facing Sarutobi's increasingly serious gaze, Danzo realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Descendant of the Senju Clan, direct bloodline Tsunade, your apprentice, she is going crazy when she looks at that man Divine Capital! If that guy didn't have a little wife, I believe she would have the last name Hyuga now!"
This is the cornerstone of politics!
"Uchiha Clan Head, that is the person who has a relationship with him! Uchiha Fugaku has long publicly worn a pair of pants with the Hyuga Clan. On the surface, the two of them look like brothers, but in fact, I completely feel that he is treating Uchiha Fugaku as a tool to control Uchiha, a dog under his command!"
This is your right arm!
Danzo spoke fiercely and spit on Sarutobi's face, but that was not the end.
"He even has Tailed Beast! And he publicly stated that it belongs to Hyuga, not Konoha!"
There are also strategic weapons!
"And now, he has even brought back Uzumaki Clan's people! Look what else he is going to do?!"
He also has the braking device of a strategic weapon!
After a few words, Sarutobi was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he was completely drenched in sweat. A big mountain named Hyuga Clan was completely pressing on the heads of all Konoha High Command!
"Don't forget, he is still the most popular One of the Konoha Twin Eyes!"
This is fame!
Danzo didn't say the next sentence.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen also knows it.
If the current Hyuga Hitoshi cheers up, it seems that he can only avoid the edge temporarily, and then pass Hokage Position to the opponent.
True.
This information is actually on the surface, but they did not summarize it before, and now they feel powerless when summarizing it.
In fact, this is the first of the two paths Hyuga Hitoshi mentioned. Hitoshi Clan Head has always been a person with a plan. When he is sure that most people in the village can be saved, he will indeed take the first path. Whether it is to support Tsunade or to be Hokage himself, it is all natural.
He doesn't even need to worry about the Uchiha Clan's dissatisfaction. A series of back-up moves are connected in series. Whether he takes the first path depends entirely on Konoha's own reaction.
Hitoshi Clan Head is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to see the essence of this village clearly. If it is worth it, Hitoshi Clan Head will take action directly. If it is not worth it, he will turn around and leave without hesitation. Before leaving, he will give a gift named Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
And this opportunity began to approach as the war came to an end. He wanted to see how many of the heroes of the clan would stand up and help speak.
Hitoshi Clan Head is very fair, the proportion determines his attitude.
The behemoth now named Hyuga can no longer be dealt with privately. Unless they completely turn around and start a full-scale civil war, the top management has no chance of winning.
"Hyuga ah"
After being reminded by Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen obviously saw the seriousness of the problem.
He frowned sullenly and smoked the big pipe fiercely. After a while, the whole room was filled with an inexplicable aura. Utatane Koharu next to him looked dazed, but he was very emotional in his heart.
That's it!
"But now Hyuga is no longer so easy to move."
After a long while, a flash of frustration flashed in Sarutobi's eyes.
He admitted that he was aware of the seriousness of the problem but was at a loss to do anything about it.
He was not unaware of Hyuga's problems. Even in the previous meeting, Hyuga Hitoshi dared to send someone who was not Clan Head, completely disrespecting himself.
"Don't panic."
Danzo smiled coldly, "Now that I'm here, I naturally have a way to break the situation!"
He wants to offer a plan!
He wants to prove that he is not very smart!
He is not that Bringing the Wolf into the House waste!
Are you coming again?!
Sarutobi was stunned and looked at his old buddy in surprise.
There is no way, he really can't trust Danzo's strategy. The power of his strategy is really exaggerated!
"I know what you are thinking, but"
Danzo looked unhappy.
"But the current situation cannot get worse if we don't fight back."
His hand pointed out the window, through the swirling smoke screen, the face of Third on Hokage Rock Faces has not even been repaired yet!
"Keep sitting and waiting, next time the thing that explodes won't be a statue!"
In other words.
"Is that a statue that exploded?! It was your face that exploded!!"
How can you bear this?!
Bang!
This time, Danzo replaced it with both palms and slapped it on the table.
With a strong look of sincerity on his weather-beaten face, he spoke his final words from the bottom of his heart.
"Hiruzen, trust me again!"
