Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"A thousand years ago? The era of the legendary Sage of Six Paths?" Kisame Hoshigaki seemed to know something about the history of the ninja world, his eyes showing great interest. "Now I'm even more interested. Could it be that the legendary Sage of Six Paths wasn't just a myth, but actually existed?"

Orochimaru, Sasori of the Red Sand, and even Nono Yakushi and Kabuto Yakushi, who were only interested in each other, all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Yoruichi Yagami would answer.

The Sage of Six Paths, in the ninja world, is like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the East or God of the West—it has become a belief, or rather, a 'symbol'.

"The Sage of Six Paths is a real person, but the story begins with his mother."

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Yagami Yoruichi stopped keeping them in suspense and began to recount the history of the ninja world: "A thousand years ago, a race called the 'Otsutsuki' came to the ninja world from the universe. There were two of them, one was the superior, named Otsutsuki Isshiki, and the other was the inferior, named Otsutsuki Kaguya..."

Yoruichi Yagami did not fabricate the history of the ninja world; she told it directly according to the 'plot' of the original work.

However, Yagami Yoruichi omitted many details, only giving a rough outline.

"After successfully brainwashing Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha entrusted the plan of resurrection to Obito Uchiha and sent him to the Underworld."

Yoruichi Yagami gave a brief account of Madara Uchiha's plan and Obito Uchiha's identity.

After hearing Yagami Yoruichi's 'story', everyone was unable to calm down for a long time.

"Hehehe, it sounds like a myth." Sasori of the Red Sand was the first to come to his senses.

He had never met Madara Uchiha, nor had he ever met the Akatsuki organization, so his understanding of them was naturally not deep.

Orochimaru, however, seemed to have realized something and said, "So it was those three brats from the Land of Rain back then. I was wondering why Pain looked so familiar."

"So you didn't recognize me?" Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but glance at Orochimaru.

Yagami Yoruichi thought that Orochimaru had already recognized 'Pain' as Yahiko.

Although he has grown quite a bit older and his appearance has changed considerably, Yahiko's appearance hasn't changed much compared to when he met Orochimaru and his two companions as a child.

“I only saw Pain twice, and my attention was focused on those Rinnegan.” Orochimaru shook his head, looked at Yoruichi Yagami, and asked, “According to you, the Rinnegan is in Nagato, and Yahiko is already dead, so why…”

“That’s the power of the Rinnegan. It can control corpses as puppets. There are six of them, each with their own type of ability.” Yagami Yoruichi didn’t hide anything and said directly, “Yahiko is the strongest Pain Path.”

"The strongest Heavenly Dao? How strong can it be?" Orochimaru felt a sense of anticipation.

He fought against 'Pain' and was utterly humiliated.

This is also why he joined the Akatsuki organization.

On one hand, he couldn't defeat them, and on the other hand, he also coveted the Rinnegan and wanted to find an opportunity to steal it.

However, after learning that the Rinnegan was a tool left behind by Madara Uchiha, and even involved the 'progenitor of chakra', Orochimaru's greed was greatly reduced.

He had a clear understanding of his own strength. If he were to get involved in this level of competition, no matter how many backup plans he had or how strong his survival skills were, he might never be able to revive.

but……

Orochimaru glanced at Yoruichi Yagami.

Yoruichi Yagami possesses such immense strength and knows so many secrets.

Assuming Yoruichi Yagami is telling the truth, then what is Yoruichi Yagami's true identity?

Orochimaru felt his curiosity was about to explode.

"The Way of Heaven... It's no problem for you to be wiped out in an instant. Even if you all came at me together, you still couldn't defeat the Six Paths of Pain," Yagami Yoruichi casually explained.

"That's truly astonishing." Kisame Hoshigaki finally digested all the information and looked at Yoruichi Yagami, saying, "So the Village of the Bloody Mist was created by Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. If I intend to eliminate that guy, will it affect the leader's plans?"

"Suit yourself, but you're no match for him," Yagami Yoruichi warned. "I don't want you to die in vain."

Kisame Hoshigaki can be considered the only one among the top rogue ninjas of Akatsuki with the highest level of loyalty.

In the end, in order to preserve the intelligence, it even went so far as to have its summoned beast devour it.

It was precisely because of this loyalty that Yagami Yoruichi specifically sought out Kisame Hoshigaki, who had not yet been recruited by Obito Uchiha, and took him under her wing.

Among the people recruited this time, besides Orochimaru, Yagami Yotsuichi also had the highest expectations for Kisame Hoshigaki.

Although his only redeeming quality besides loyalty is his ability, he is not outstanding in any other aspect.

But loyalty is a very rare quality.

Upon hearing Yoruichi Yagami's warning, Kisame Hoshigaki seemed to be deep in thought.

He had never heard of the name Uchiha Obito, but since Madara Uchiha regarded him as his successor and he could control the Fourth Mizukage, a perfect Jinchuriki, his strength must be considerable.

He really wasn't very confident.

At this point, Yagami Yoruichi said that he would die if he went, so Kisame Hoshigaki had to reconsider.

He wasn't afraid of dying, but he didn't want to die in a meaningless way.

Yagami Yoruichi only offered a brief reminder.

If Kisame Hoshigaki insists on going his own way, Yoruichi Yagami will not try to persuade him any further.

Ignoring Kisame's ulterior motives, Yagami Yoruichi turned to Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto and asked, "You two, is there anything you want to ask?"

"What do you intend for us to do?" Yakushi Nonou said, "Kabuto is just a child. If there are any dangerous missions, let me go. Please spare Kabuto."

At this time, Kabuto was only ten years old, and it would be fair to say he was a child.

However, having undergone the brutal training at the Root, they are already completely different from ordinary children.

"Dean!" Kabuto Yakushi was about to say something, but was stopped by Nono Yakushi.

"Don't worry, I don't have Danzo's habit of treating people as tools."

Yoruichi Yagami waved her hand and said, "Dean Nono, you will be in charge of logistics from now on. As for Kabuto, your task is to improve your medical ninjutsu as soon as possible, and to learn scientific research from Orochimaru."

"Hey! Hey!" Before Kabuto could even speak, Orochimaru protested, "Are you planning to make me a babysitter?! I have no interest in taking care of children!"

Upon hearing this, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but glance at Orochimaru.

Not interested in taking care of children? How can you say that?

Who was it that was kidnapping children all over the world?!

Kaguya Kimimaro, the Four, Guren, Karin Uzumaki, and even the future Sasuke Uchiha.

Which one of them wasn't kidnapped by Orochimaru when they were still children?!

However, Yagami Yoruichi did not voice her inner thoughts, but simply said, "Don't underestimate Kabuto, he has a strong talent for scientific research."

He may not be able to compare to Orochimaru himself, but after a period of training, he would be more than qualified to be a deputy.

Furthermore, Kabuto Yakushi possessed exceptional talent in developing ninjutsu, allowing him to further refine the Impure World Reincarnation technique based on the work of the Second Hokage and Orochimaru, even achieving a level of 'one man leading an army'.

That alone is enough to demonstrate his talent.

Yoruichi Yagami deliberately pulled Kabuto Yakushi out of the Root early on so that he could realize his talent as soon as possible.

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi's attitude, Orochimaru said nothing more and acquiesced.

He was very curious. Yagami Yoruichi seemed to know a lot of things. What was the source of this information, or rather, the intelligence?

"This is really interesting..." Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips again.

Chapter 235 Yagami Yoruichi: Kurenai, have you forgotten our promise?

They have initially established their own team.

However, Yoruichi Yagami didn't do much.

He simply took a portion of the looted money and distributed it to Sasori and Orochimaru for several research projects.

At the same time, Yagami Yoruichi does not object to what they need to research or create, and may even provide support.

The premise is that you can complete the tasks you assigned on time.

As for the others, Yagami Yoruichi only assigned them the task of 'establishing an intelligence system' and let them do it on their own.

They didn't even make any requests regarding the intelligence they were supposed to gather.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Nono Yakushi are both skilled in intelligence and espionage.

Now all they need to do is set up the framework.

As for what crucial role it can truly play, that's a matter for the future.

To keep an eye on these unruly individuals, Yagami Yoruichi even left behind several wooden clones.

This burden had almost no effect on Yoruichi Yagami.

……

Leaf.

Yagami Yoruichi was sitting in a dessert shop.

The table was filled with empty bowls. Hinata Hyuga, sitting opposite her, had a flushed face, but encouraged by Yoruichi Yagami, she continued to eat the cinnamon rolls that had just been served, taking small bites but eating very quickly.

During this period, Hiashi Hyuga would bring Hinata Hyuga to visit him almost every day, implying that he hoped Hinata would become Yoruichi Yagami's apprentice.

Although Yoruichi Yagami didn't agree, she still often took Hinata Hyuga out to play.

Her gluttonous nature is something others may not know, but Yagami Yoruichi knows all too well.

But no one expected that Hinata Hyuga, who was only three years old, could eat as much as ten adults!

"Have you never had a full meal at home?" Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but ask.

"I'm too embarrassed to eat so much..." Hinata Hyuga's face was almost buried in the bowl.

It wasn't because I was greedy, but because I was shy.

"Eat as much as you want," Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile. "Being able to eat is a talent. The more you eat, the stronger your body will become, and the more chakra you can extract."

Hinata Hyuga seemed to understand, but she could tell that Yoruichi Yagami wouldn't laugh at her for her large appetite.

"I'm really full, I can't eat anymore." Hinata Hyuga barely finished the last cinnamon roll and patted her bulging belly.

"Hiccup~!"

The hiccup sounded, and Hinata Hyuga's already flushed face turned even redder, almost turning her into a steam princess.

"Haha, Hinata is so cute." Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Hinata Hyuga's adorable appearance.

Hinata at this age is absolutely adorable.

"I, I..." Hinata Hyuga felt her blood rushing to her head, and she was dizzy and almost lost consciousness.

"Take a break. Don't do strenuous exercise right after eating." Yagami Yoruichi rubbed Hinata Hyuga's head, then looked at the empty plates on the table and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
