The day after the qualifiers ended, Uchiha Shu became popular.
After six years, this name once again appeared in the public eye.
"Have you heard? That Uchiha Shu..."
"Ah, double Bloodline, right? Having Sharingan and Byakugan at the same time is really awesome!"
"Haha, it's really fun to watch now!"
"How to say?"
"Of course it's Hyuga's reaction! After all, their family separation system..."
"Oh--"
Konoha In the streets and alleys, wherever there are ninjas, almost everyone is discussing the fact that Uchiha Shu is driving Byakugan. It can be said that Konoha is the first one this year!
Of course, some people are skeptical about the origin of the pair of Byakugan shown on the show.
Hyuga Clan Compound, training dojo.
Hyuga Hiashi and many Main Family elders are here, and the huge dojo is filled with a serious atmosphere.
"Everyone has heard about it."
Hyuga Hiashi sat on his knees in front of everyone, with a solemn expression. "Uchiha Clan Jonin Uchiha Shu, turned on Byakugan."
Someone frowned and said, "Could it be... a problem with the parents?"
"No."
Hyuga Hiashi shook his head. "I checked the clan documents last night. Uchiha and our Hyuga also have some kind of connection. Therefore, it is not that the two clans have never intermarryed in history, but the offspring will only inherit the blood of one party."
"From this point of view, it is not true that Sharingan originated from Byakugan. It is more like the power of two different systems. According to my information from Hinata, Uchiha Shu can only switch between the two pupil techniques, which also confirms the previous statement, but since Uchiha Shu can awaken Byakugan, it means that there must be some connection between the two."
"So the possibility of parental factors is very slim. The question now is how to deal with... the pair of Uchiha Shu and Byakugan."
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
Engraved Caged Bird Seal?
Stop joking!
Although they are pedantic, they are not crazy!
If it is blood that has escaped, it will be engraved when it is brought back.
But who is Uchiha Shu? No matter how rubbish Danzo is, he is at least at the level of elite Jonin. Killing a chicken in the opponent's hands is as devoid of dignity!
Not to mention Uchiha Clan!
But if we just let it go, then what they Main Family call "guarding Byakugan" will become a complete joke!
Even the branch families will not continue to believe them Main Family. After all, every branch family is engraved with Caged Bird Seal in the name of "protecting Byakugan".
Most of the branch family members will hate Main Family. After all, no one wants their life to be in the hands of others, and they know this very well.
The existence of Xiu undoubtedly gave the separation family a good excuse to cause trouble.
There is a pair of wild Byakugan wandering outside right now. Don't you Main Family want to protect Byakugan? Then capture it and engrave it with Caged Bird Seal!
"I do have an idea..."
At this moment, an elder slowly spoke, "How about trying to get in touch with him and give him the identity of the Main Family? After all, if Byakugan is really a return to his ancestors, then the purity of Byakugan may not be too low."
Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
Hyuga Hiashi frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
This old guy has been pampered for so long that he has lost his brain?
However, as the leader of the clan, he still had to pay attention to his demeanor, so he smiled, "Good idea, but if the future show has more than two children, how about you engrave Caged Bird Seal on them?"
After the words fell, the elder looked panicked. "I just had an idea, I... I may not be able to live until that time."
Hyuga Hiashi's face darkened. "Nowadays, Uchiha Clan in the village all follow Uchiha Shu's lead, and Hokage would come to invite people at home. Why do you think you care about the Hyuga Main Family's identity?"
Hearing this, everyone looked embarrassed.
"But we can't let Byakugan escape, right?"
"How can you say it's an outflow? People are awakened based on their abilities. They don't belong to Hyuga..."
"Tell the branch family and see how many pairs of Byakugan can be awakened by outsiders in a few years!"
"Okay, you say, then go and capture the person~"
In the dojo, a group of the Main Familys were arguing endlessly.
Hyuga Hiashi looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
As one of the only pupil families in Konoha, he doesn't like Uchiha's radical style, but looking at this group of rigid and decadent clan members, he sometimes envies Uchiha Clan.
Two pupil families, one conservative and one radical, the only thing they have in common is arrogance.
But Uchiha is powerful and arrogant, what does Hyuga have?
And while Hyuga was arguing endlessly, Tsunade was also in a state of confusion.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki awakened Wood Release!
If someone else were to awaken Wood Release.
Then Nine-Tails belongs to the village, and Wood Release also belongs to the village.
But Nine-Tails Jinchuriki awakened Wood Release, then it is very likely that Nine-Tails is not from the village, and Wood Release is not from the village!
Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but scratch his hair.
Suddenly, a frivolous voice came from the window. "Hey~ This lady seems to have something on her mind?"
Tsunade followed the sound and saw a tall, white-haired middle-aged man leaning against the window.
"Jiraiya?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. "You bastard, you finally found out that you are back! Do you know how I have been living these past few years?!"
Jiraiya pushed open the window and jumped into the office. "Hahaha, don't be so angry! Am I back now?"
Tsunade sneered, "After all, you are chasing Orochimaru again, right? Or are you still looking for that bullshit Child of Prophecy?"
"No..." Jiraiya shook his head, his face slightly solemn. "Some time ago, Great Toad Sage came to me and informed me that the prophecy had changed."
"Change?"
Tsunade raised his eyebrows. "Then what did old Toad talk in his sleep again?"
"Well..."
Jiraiya frowned. "You may not believe it, Great Toad Sage said... there was a kid who became Sage of Six Paths's father."
"... Huh?"
Tsunade was stunned for two seconds and chuckled, "Hahahahahahaha, I just said that old Toad is unreliable, right? You spent Shinobi World searching for a so-called Child of Prophecy for decades, and now I tell you this? What do you think these decades are?"
Jiraiya looked heavy. "That's the problem. After Great Toad Sage finished making this prophecy, it died!"
"Dead?"
Tsunade's eyes widened slightly. Although she didn't believe these prophecies, Great Toad Sage, as an immortal from a holy land, how could he die so hastily?
"How did you die?"
"Great Toad Sage said before he died... he saw me."
Jiraiya's voice was deep, and Tsunade's hair stood on end listening to it.
"Hey - what kind of ghost story is this?"
"No, what I said is true." Jiraiya looked serious. "But...Sage of Six Paths's father? Then who is Sage of Six Paths's mother? Is it possible that she is still alive?"
"Okay, stop thinking about all this nonsense."
Tsunade waved his hand. "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki has awakened Wood Release, what do you think we should do?"
"Naruto..."
Jiraiya had a headache. At first Third Hokage told him that all four generations of his family were dead.
As a result, he returned to the village one time and heard that there was a demon fox kid named Naruto Uzumaki in the village. In the end, he was still worried about the old man and did nothing more.
Later, when Third Hokage fell, he was even more afraid to return to the village, for fear that he would be put in Hokage's position as soon as he came back.
During this period, Tsunade sent people to look for him several times, but he always made excuses to fool him.
But now Orochimaru has returned to Konoha, and the target of Akatsuki, whom Orochimaru once joined, seems to have something to do with Tailed Beast. He is here now even if he doesn't want to come back.
"Speaking of which, I haven't had any contact with that child yet."
Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed dryly, "How about it? Who will the child look like? Minato or Kushina?"
"The hair color is like Minato, and the face is like Kushina."
Tsunade snorted coldly, "I originally wanted you to come back and take care of Naruto, but it turned out that you were lucky and couldn't even find a ghost. I had no choice but to hand him over to that brat Uchiha Shu."
"Uchiha Shu... I've heard of this name before. I heard it's a super-powerful monster kid."
Jiraiya smiled playfully, "But you are brave enough to hand over Nine-Tails to Uchiha. Those old guys didn't stop you?"
"Humph, they have too much time to take care of themselves, and their reputation is ruined. How can they be qualified to point fingers at me? As for that boy Xiu..."
Tsunade snorted and curled his lips, "It's not that I'm brave enough. People don't look down on Nine-Tails's power at all. If he wants to attack Naruto, no one can stop him. I still beg him to accept Naruto."
"In addition, Wood Release of Naruto is most likely his handiwork. That kid has many incredible tricks. For example, he possesses Sharingan and Byakugan at the same time."
Tsunade thought about it for a while, but after all, he still didn't say anything about how Xiu could resurrect the dead.
She didn't know exactly how Xiu did it and what price he paid. She was worried that if the news spread and caused trouble to Xiu, then her hopes would be completely shattered.
Hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly laughed obscenely, "Is this... is it possible--"
"It's not what you think, idiot!"
Tsunade yelled angrily, "Be careful, don't go to Hot Spring District! That guy opened a house Hot Spring Inn, and the family is full of women. If you don't want to die in humiliation, then don't provoke that guy! Don't give him a reason to target you!"
Seeing Tsunade's serious look, Jiraiya's mouth twitched. "Ah, is this really so scary?"
Tsunade sneered, "You can go and find out how Danzo that guy died. After that guy died, he Impure World Reincarnation came out to watch my succession ceremony!"
"You won't let anyone rest in peace even if you die?"
Jiraiya felt a chill in his heart and felt a little unhappy. "Is it really okay for you to hand over Naruto to this guy?"
Tsunade immediately laughed out loud at his words: "If I don't leave it to him, who else can I leave it to? To you?"
"Uh... hahaha, that's true."
Jiraiya sneered and scratched his head, "In that case, why not let me teach Naruto for a while."
"You have to discuss this with Xiu yourself. Of course I hope you will take care of Naruto. At least having you take care of him will help the child identify more with the village."
Tsunade waved his hand. "But since I have already entrusted him, I can't go back and get him back. That kid's words are very unpleasant. Every word he says is challenging the limit of your tolerance. Don't be angered by him. I don't like selfless dedication."
Jiraiya looked solemn. "Is that so... Then I'll really take a look."
