The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 270: Lock Plan

"Teacher Hideki, do you mean..."

Hiashi had already made a rough guess, but the solution was so out-of-the-box that he was not sure.

Fortunately, Hideki did not keep the secret and smiled slightly.

"As far as I know, the basic function of the caged bird seal is that when a branch family dies or the eye is taken away, it will instantly destroy the eye to prevent leakage."

"At the same time, the ninjas of the main family can also remotely activate the caged bird's curse seal through special techniques, thereby destroying the Byakugan of the branch family ninjas, and even the brain nerves..."

"I have to say, this is indeed a very effective set of preventive measures..."

"In fact, it has indeed done a good job of protecting the Byakugan Bloodline Limit from being leaked over the years."

"If it weren't for it, the Byakugan's power, which is enough to influence the outcome of a battle, would definitely attract the covetousness of countless people."

"And the Hyuga clan will probably disappear in the long river of history like many other ninja clans with bloodline limits..."

Hizashi nodded helplessly.

Even though he hated caged birds, he had to admit their protective role for ordinary Hyuga clan members.

Seeing this, Hideki spread his hands and sighed:
"But when the main family began to use it to threaten and manipulate the branch family, everything changed completely..."

"And what you and the other branch families really hate is actually the main family's misuse of the caged bird, right?"

Hiashi nodded heavily:
"As expected of Mr. Hideki, he also knows so much about caged birds."

"I am just making some deductions based on the intelligence that can be collected on the market if you are willing."

Hideki waved his hands, then clasped his hands together and said:

“So my proposal is also aimed at this kind of abuse.”

"Since the benefits of the Caged Bird Curse itself outweigh the disadvantages, there is no need for us to fight it to the death for the time being."

"As long as you add another lock on the outside to keep the Zong family who holds the original key out, you can be free again."

Hiashi was also somewhat moved, but still hesitated and said:

"But will things really go so smoothly?"

"Of course, the specific implementation methods must be studied first before they can be worked out."

"Anyway, no matter how sophisticated the main family's curse-killing technique is, it has to rely on the medium of chakra waves to transmit it remotely."

"As long as we find a way to interfere with or block this chakra wave, we should be able to prevent the caged bird seal from being triggered."

"Even if it is difficult, it is much easier than directly cracking the bird in the cage."

Hizashi had to admit that what Hideki said made sense, and began to smile bitterly with mixed feelings:
"It seems like this is the only way..."

"Sure enough, this is really the only solution."

"Teacher Hideki, you may not know that the Caged Bird Curse Seal actually has a hidden disadvantage."

"That would weaken the strength of the Byakugan, and even create a blind spot of about one degree behind the head..."

Wow, a blind spot, this is too miserable!
Hideki, whose normal visual field is only 124 degrees, thought to himself.

But he actually understands Japan's dilemma.

On a battlefield full of chaos and ninja tools flying everywhere, blind spots that are easily overlooked may very likely become fatal weaknesses.

However, Hideki doesn't have a good solution for this for the time being.

You can't make a fully automatic vibration and shaking head machine for Hiashi and let him shake his head continuously to eliminate blind spots, right?

Since Hizashi also agreed with Hideki's idea, the next thing would be much simpler.

If you want to add another lock to the bird in the cage, you naturally have to do some research on it first to avoid conflicts between the two.

Although the situation is far away now, it seems to be a good research opportunity.

But Hideki suspected that the Hyuga clan might have the ability to sense and even activate the caged bird curse seal from a long distance.

In order to prevent Neji's father from dying suddenly, he decided to go back and build a laboratory with a high-intensity perception defense barrier before starting his research.

Afterwards, the two discussed how to deal with the various plans of the Hyuga clan's main family after returning.

For example, how to hide the information in this assessment that will irritate the Hyuga clan, and how to test the effectiveness of the plan to add another lock, etc.

Then they slowly returned to the temporary camp and prepared to return to Konoha.

So Hideki's unexpected jonin examination finally came to a successful conclusion after getting the powerful help of Hyuga Hizashi...

…At the same time, in the open space of the front-line stronghold.

Jiraiya was standing on a giant toad, making a rare pre-war mobilization in a serious manner:

"Today the sky is clear and the waves are magnificent. Konoha will rise or fall in this battle. You must fight harder..."

Although the content was good, many ninjas below couldn't help but whisper:
"This isn't the beach, where does the majestic waves come from?"

"At the beach... I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. Wasn't this the speech that Jiraiya-sama gave when he was fighting Kirigakure?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even the speech is repeated. No wonder the novel written by Jiraiya-sama is not popular."

Jiraiya listened to everyone's complaints and continued his speech on the surface, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Minato who was looking apologetic on the side.

It’s all Minato’s stupid apprentice’s fault.

It was clearly just a small mission to pick up someone, how could I be so unlucky to run into the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Moreover, in order to escape, he leaked the key to this battle - Flying Thunder God Technique - to the enemy.

——Although according to what he said, the enemy should think he is dead now.

But in order to avoid any more trouble, and considering the information that the army with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki will arrive soon...

Jiraiya could only move the decisive battle forward, so of course he had no time to write a mobilization speech...

It’s a pity that no one understood his good intentions.

Seeing that the ninjas in the audience looked completely unmobilized, Jiraiya's mouth twitched slightly.

Whatever.

Anyway, as long as the plan goes smoothly, these tasteless guys will hardly be needed this time...

So Jiraiya didn't feel like giving a speech, he just raised his index finger and pointed in the direction of the Iwagakure camp and said loudly:
"Army attack!"

……

"This is a tricky idea, everyone retreat quickly!"

A moment later, in the dense forest battlefield.

On a fierce battle front, the Konoha ninjas suddenly let out a slightly artificial cry and then retreated collectively.

This made the Iwagakure ninja on the opposite side a little confused. They wanted to press on and pursue the victory but were afraid it was a trap.

Fortunately, they won't have to worry about it soon...

Because at this moment, a strange kunai suddenly shot out from a distance.

Since they didn't hit anyone at all, everyone thought it was just the enemy throwing it around to vent their anger and no one took it too seriously.

So when they saw the glimmering rune light on the approaching trident kunai, it was too late to react...

The next moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the kunai, instantly blinding the eyes of all the Iwagakure ninjas around.

Fortunately, this group of Iwagakure ninjas are well-trained.

Although their eyesight was temporarily taken away, they remained calm and quickly made the most correct response.

That is, according to the essentials of night combat, never act rashly to cause chaos, at the same time take out kunai to protect vital points, and prick up your ears to distinguish the sounds of the enemy's attacks.

"Ugh..."

"what!"

Bang!
However, no matter how hard they listened, they could only hear the continuous screams of their companions around them and the muffled thuds of them falling to the ground.

On the contrary, they have been unable to detect the enemy's voice, as if a ghost is killing...

When the white light faded, only a figure remained on the open ground, with golden hair shining brightly in the sun.

Other than that, there were only corpses scattered all over the ground, and large pools of blood that dyed the ground bright red...

Namikaze Minato.

It is hard to imagine that he, who is usually a good man, would turn into such a cold-blooded and ruthless god of death on the battlefield.

Perhaps this is what is called a hero to me, an enemy to him.

A simple good guy will never be able to become the fourth generation Hokage who dominates the ninja world in the future.

However, for Minato, the real debut of this Flying Thunder God Technique has just begun...
