" Hamura?"
The moment Wang Hao and his two companions arrived, inside a ramen shop in Hidden Leaf Village, a middle-aged man suddenly turned his head to look in the direction Hyuga the Hyuga clan's territory, his expression uncertain.
Not long after, Hamura Otsutsuki, who had been cautiously led out of the Hyuga clan's territory by many powerful members of Leaf and Hyuga, looked extremely grim, with an added chilling killing intent.
He hadn't fully believed the memories Wang Hao had shared, and the reason he came to the Hyuga clan's territory so quickly was to see for himself. However, the reality was far more severe than he had imagined.
"It's hopeless!"
Stopping in his tracks, looking back Hyuga the Hamura Otsutsuki shook his head and sighed sadly.
He originally had a plan to resolve the bloodline defect caused by the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird, but the situation was far more serious than he had anticipated.
If he had enough time, say several decades or a hundred years, he could use the Tenseigan as a guide to correct the bloodline defects of these descendants.
But he clearly doesn't have that much time, not to mention that his resurrection was to assist Wang Hao in dealing with the World-Destroying Evil Baleful Intent. With the power he currently possesses, it might not even be enough, so how could he possibly use it on the Hyuga clan?
What angered him even more was that these younger members of the Hyuga clan had actually degenerated into enslaving their own people.
He could accept his elder brother's scheming, at worst asking Wang Hao, a younger generation member, to handle it. But these unworthy descendants were so depraved; how could he tolerate it? And how could he possibly ask Wang Hao, a younger generation member, for help?
If Wang Hao hadn't intervened, he would have wiped out the entire so-called main family of Hyuga.
"Senior, who are you?"
Hyuga clan leader Masakuni Hyuga, clutching his chest, staggered out, his Byakugan staring intently at Hamura Otsutsuki, especially at the latter's golden Tenseigan.
Although he had been severely injured and nearly killed by a punch from his opponent, none of that mattered.
Although the Hyuga Clan has not left behind many ancient books, there are records of a divine eye of their Hyuga Clan, and those eyes seem to be very similar to the golden eyes of this powerful figure.
"You all better watch yourselves!"
With a cold voice, Hamura Otsutsuki ignored this unworthy descendant and strode towards the Hokage Building with Wang Hao.
Since I can't handle personal matters, I can only get down to business.
The ten Anbu members who followed him gave Masakuni Hyuga a strange look. From the attitude of that powerful member, they could tell that he obviously had a close relationship with the Hyuga Clan.
What are their true intentions in concealing their relationship with such a powerful figure?
It seems I'll have to ask the Hokage to order a thorough investigation of the Hyuga Clan afterwards!
"So you're saying you're stuck because of a Nine-Tails Little Fox?"
After arriving at the Hokage's office with his cheap ancestor, Hamura Otsutsuki, Wang Hao frowned and felt somewhat dissatisfied after hearing A Yotsuki's explanation.
"As the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Mito, Mito is Leaf's strategic weapon. Without Hashirama's presence, they naturally wouldn't dare to take the risk."
Kurosawa Shichirō made no attempt to hide his disdain as he glanced at the Leaf members. As a super-strong individual who had already touched the edge of becoming Great Swordmaster, he certainly had the right to look down on Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
"The nine-tailed fox you're talking about, is it the little pet my brother created back then, the Little Nine-Tailed Lama? What's so special about that little guy's power?"
Hamura Otsutsuki, who had roughly understood what was going on, was very puzzled. "It's just the Nine-Tails, isn't it?"
Is it really necessary to make such a fuss and argue like this?
He would indeed pay more attention to the Ten-Tails God Tree, the precursor to the Tailed Beast, but these little pets created by his own brother are best left alone!
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked at Hamura Otsutsuki speechlessly and in horror. If an ordinary person had said this, they would have thought he was a madman, but the terrifying aura he exuded made them realize that he was not lying.
So it's true!
They truly couldn't imagine that the Nine-Tails, and even all the Tailed Beast, were created by humans. They wondered how terrifying the being who created the Nine-Tails must be, and what kind of terrifying being this old man before them, the younger brother of that Tailed Beast creator, was.
"Huh? The Little Fox seems much calmer now!"
Gently stroking the seal on her lower abdomen, feeling the Nine-Tails suddenly become docile inside, Mito Uzumaki looked curiously at Hamura Otsutsuki.
"Do you know the Little Fox, senior?"
At this moment, the once arrogant and violent Nine-Tails Central Plains the sealed space was incredibly cowardly, curling up into a ball and trembling, even using its nine large, furry tails to surround its head.
There was no other way; that was the old man's own younger brother, and his direct combat strength was even more terrifying. Facing this super giant, he had no choice but to back down!
"Ah! I saw Little Nine others when they were developing inside my brother, but they were only this tiny back then. I never imagined they would grow so big now!"
He has no real ability, he's just got tall and strong all the time!
Hamura Otsutsuki held up his little finger and gestured. He really hadn't expected that the little guys from back then, like Little Nine, would grow up so fast, transforming from tiny little kids into super monsters in an instant.
"..."
Everyone present was speechless once again. Perhaps only a super giant like you in the current Shinobi World is qualified to say such things.
"Senior, isn't this an abnormal, temporary resurrection?"
After observing Hamura Otsutsuki time, Mito Uzumaki vaguely sensed that something was amiss with this powerful figure.
"Back then, I did not reach Mother's level, so my lifespan was limited. Now, I am only temporarily resurrected based on a Chakra that carries my will. This resurrection is also to deal with the World-Destroying Evil Baleful Intent of the Land of Lightning."
By the way, you're a descendant of Asura, aren't you? That's quite impressive; you actually inherited your brother's Sealing Jutsu. Back when I saw that silly, adorable kid Asura, I thought the Sealing Jutsu my brother created were going to be lost forever!
Although he was furious about his older brother's underhanded tactics, Hamura Otsutsuki was not one to take his anger out on others without any sense of propriety. Therefore, he was not angry at his junior, Mito Uzumaki, and was even somewhat pleased with her.
After all, this person is considered his junior!
Mito Uzumaki gave an awkward laugh. Although she had never heard of the name Asura, since this super-powerful figure had said it, it must be true!
"Ancestor, she's not just a descendant of the Asura, she's also, in a way, your niece-in-law!"
Wang Hao, who was standing to the side, laughed, but his laugh was quite eerie.
Hashirama Senju was the reincarnation of Asura's Chakra, and could also be seen as Asura Otsutsuki. In this respect, as Hashirama Senju's wife, Mito Uzumaki could indeed be considered Hamura Otsutsuki's niece-in-law.
"You mean... in that case, she is indeed my niece-in-law!"
After a moment of surprise, Hamura Otsutsuki nodded, realizing that this was indeed his nephew's wife. His gaze towards Mito Uzumaki became even more kind and affectionate.
What kind of riddles are you playing?
Mito Uzumaki was furious. She was clearly Hashirama Senju's wife, so how did she become this super-powerful figure's niece-in-law?
Could it be that idiot Hashirama is related to this super-powerful figure?
The Third Hokage and the others were initially delighted, but their expressions quickly darkened, revealing a hidden sense of fear.
If this person were truly related to the First Hokage, they could indeed establish a connection. However, the unfortunate reality is that the Senju Clan was secretly murdered by them. If the other party were to find out about this, Leaf would likely face annihilation.
"Those matters are beyond your purview, Mito. The purpose of my visit is to invite you to the Mito Cloud Lightning Ravine in the Land of Lightning to unravel the powerful magical array there."
"No, Mito must not leave Leaf!"
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately stood up to show his resolve; he would never allow the Nine-Tails to leave Leaf.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the many powerful Leaf members in the Hokage's office had no choice but to brace themselves and prepare to attack, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Tch! If you value Nine-Tails), then just say it's Nine-Tails. Is it really meaningful to use Mito as a topic of conversation?"
Wang Hao glanced disdainfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, then looked at Mito Uzumaki and said, "It seems that Mito's lifespan is also running out. In that case, where is your next Nine-Tails vessel? I'll help you transfer the Nine-Tails now."
The Nine-Tails may seem like a terrifying power to others, but to him now it's just a pet, not to mention there's the super-powerful Hamura Otsutsuki watching over him!
Even if you gave the Nine-Tails a hundred times the courage, it wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
"No need for that trouble. We've already been delayed for too long; we need to get there as soon as possible!"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others could react, Hamura Otsutsuki suddenly reached out and tore open a spatial rift, reached inside and rummaged around for a while, and then pulled out an orange-red fur ball.
With the Tenseigan's ability to control space, he could bypass the seal and directly enter the sealed space to pull out the Nine-Tails.
" Little Nine, you didn't even greet me when you saw me. Didn't your elder brother teach you manners?"
Seeing the fur ball curling up even tighter, Hamura Otsutsuki chuckled and reached out to tease the little guy.
" Little Nine greets Uncle Hamura!"
The timid Nine-Tails- Tails immediately bristled, transforming into a docile pet and greeting Hamura Otsutsuki. Where was its former fearsome power?
The sight nearly made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others' eyes pop out of their sockets. Was this really the Nine-Tails, their Hidden Leaf Village's ultimate weapon?
Could it be someone's pet that came to make a cameo appearance?
"I can see what has happened to you, but this is my brother's arrangement, and it's not appropriate for me to interfere. You should continue to stay in Leaf!"
"Understood, Uncle Hamura!"
Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox obediently agreed, without offering any rebuttal.
There was nothing he could do; he was desperate too!
Even though this was only a temporary resurrection, he was still far superior to such a powerful figure, not to mention that the other party was an elder!
What else can a junior do besides obediently follow orders?
Meanwhile, Mito Uzumaki experienced an anomaly. After becoming a Jinchūriki, her life force was already bound to the Nine-Tails. Now, with the separation of the Nine-Tails, the little life force remaining in her body was rapidly dissipating.
This loss of vital energy made it difficult for Mito Uzumaki to maintain Yin Seal. Her bright red hair began to turn pale rapidly, wrinkles appeared on her face, and she aged quickly.
After all, the Yin Seal is only a Ninjutsu to maintain one's youth, not to seal one's age. It is a temporary state. Once the Yin Seal can no longer be maintained, this youth is like a castle in the air and cannot continue.
Fortunately, Wang Hao was prepared and transferred his Innate Qi to her, stabilizing Mito Uzumaki's life force and restoring her to her previous youthful state. However, her long hair, which had turned pale, could not be restored.
But that wasn't all. The rejuvenated Mito Uzumaki seemed to have broken free of a shackle, unleashing an even more terrifying aura than before. This caused Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to take a step back, their faces filled with horror.
They never imagined that Mito Uzumaki, even without the Nine-Tails, would still possess such terrifying strength.
"I feel so much lighter now that the Little Fox is gone!"
She stood up, stretched, and a genuine smile appeared on Mito Uzumaki's face.
In reality, over the years, the Nine-Tails has only been a burden to her, and she has been the prison that holds the Nine-Tails, preventing it from being used by people like Madara Uchiha to harm Leaf again.
In terms of pure strength, she is far stronger than the Nine-Tails -Nine-Tails and could easily defeat it.
After all, the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu are no joke when it comes to countering Tailed Beast!
