Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Inside the reception room of the Daming Mansion.

All servants were dismissed and forbidden to approach.

Yagami Yoruichi sat in the main seat that should have belonged to the daimyo.

The daimyo stood cautiously to the side, bowing and scraping like a servant.

All other 'core members' have arrived.

Kaori Uzumaki, Hikaru Uchiha, Orochimaru, Scorpion of the Red Sand, Kisame Hoshigaki.

Then there's Sanzu Amado, a top scientist who was no less capable than Orochimaru, and Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, who joined later.

"Orochimaru, you bastard, you're here too." Tsunade looked annoyed when she saw Orochimaru.

At Yagami Yoruichi's urging, she agreed to cooperate with Yagami Yoruichi and also learned of Orochimaru's existence.

But the village's past human experimentation is not so easily forgotten.

"I didn't expect you to join us, Tsunade." Orochimaru looked surprised.

Although Yagami Yoruichi had said that she had a good relationship with Tsunade, Orochimaru did not expect that Yagami Yoruichi could actually bring Tsunade over as well.

She's the Fifth Hokage!

Why would someone who should be Hokage choose to join a mysterious organization that doesn't even have a name?

Tsunade snorted coldly, ignoring Orochimaru.

"It's rare for the leader to gather us all together. Is there something big going on?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked.

"Hmm." Yagami Yoruichi nodded and said, "Do you remember what I told you before, about the mastermind behind the scheme that has been going on for a thousand years in the ninja world?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked at Yagami Yoruichi.

The story of the 'Goddess of the Rabbit' back then surprised them all, and they couldn't believe it at all.

It's just that Yagami Yoruichi's strength is undeniable, so no one dares to question it directly.

But now it seems that Yoruichi Yagami didn't just make up a story on a whim?

"Not counting Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is sealed away, and her two sons hiding in the Underworld and the Moon, there are two ninjas in the ninja world who have lived from a thousand years ago to the present. One of them, Isshiki Otsutsuki, is very well hidden and very low-key, making him difficult to find. Our target is the other one."

Yoruichi Yagami stated her target for this attack: "Black Zetsu, the consciousness of Kaguya Otsutsuki. And I suspect it is Kaguya Otsutsuki's 'Wedge'."

The Otsutsuki clan can digitize everything about themselves and transfer it into the target body by inserting a wedge into a pre-selected 'shell'.

Then, using the power of the 'wedge', it gradually releases this data, assimilates the target, and gradually occupies the target's body, thereby reviving it.

The form in which Black Zetsu exists looks very much like a special 'wedge'.

It is not a wedge that hits the target, but exists independently, and even has its own consciousness.

Of course, this is just Yagami Yoruichi's speculation.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Black Zetsu's life form and mode of existence are very unique in the ninja world.

In addition, its mysterious existence of over a thousand years made Yagami Yoruichi extremely cautious and even wary.

Only after having sufficient strength and ensuring that he would not make a mistake would he prepare to deal with Black Zetsu.

Of course, Black Zetsu is only one of the targets.

The entire upper echelons of Akatsuki are within the scope of Yagami Yoruichi's plan to resolve.

Black Zetsu, the biggest mastermind behind the ninja world.

Obito Uchiha, the love-struck man turned dark.

There's also Nagato, who inherited the Rinnegan.

"I will personally handle the main objective this time. You all have your own tasks as well."

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the crowd and said, "I'm giving you a task: gather information on the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts. Hmm, you don't need to gather information on the Two-Tails, Eight-Tails, or Nine-Tails."

When Yagami Yoruichi attacked Kumogakure, she captured two Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage.

After Kumogakure fulfilled Yagami Yoruichi's request and found Sanzu Amado, Yagami Yoruichi released the Fourth Raikage, but did not return the two Jinchuriki to Kumogakure.

The Hidden Cloud Village dared not demand it by force, for fear of angering Yoruichi Yagami.

Given the strength that Yagami Yoruichi displayed back then, it wouldn't have taken much effort to destroy Kumogakure.

This is the difference between super-powerful combat strength and ordinary strong individuals.

"Hey..." Tsunade couldn't help but shout after hearing Yoruichi Yagami's words, "You don't actually have feelings for the tailed beasts, do you? You should know about Naruto's relationship with me!"

Tsunade's grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, was a member of the Uzumaki clan, and she was a distant relative of Naruto Uzumaki.

Although they are far apart by blood, they are still considered 'family members'.

Given the importance of the Nine-Tails to Konoha, Tsunade was naturally unhappy that Yoruichi Yagami wanted to target Naruto Uzumaki.

“Don’t worry, Naruto only has half of the Nine-Tails inside him. Even if we wanted to gather all the tailed beasts, the other half of the Nine-Tails would be enough.” Yagami Yoruichi looked at Orochimaru and asked, “You’ve found the Death Mask, haven’t you?”

"I sent people to search for it after receiving your orders, and it's in my hands now." Orochimaru nodded with a smile and said, "I've also prepared the sacrifice. If you want to undo the Reaper Death Seal, you can do so anytime."

"There's no rush. At this stage, we only need to gather information on the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts. We don't need to take action against them yet. I will give you the orders when it's time to act."

Yagami Yoruichi's gaze swept over the group, and he thought, "There aren't enough of them. If we're capturing Jinchuriki, we can't even manage two people per group."

There are six Jinchūriki of Tailed Beasts outside.

Even if you work in pairs, you'd still need twelve people.

If we exclude Yagami Yoruichi herself and exclude Sanzu Amado, who is not particularly strong in combat, then...

The organization can only mobilize six top-tier combat personnel.

There are quite a few ninjas among the peripheral organizations.

Each of the six of them also had his own subordinates.

However, most of them are relatively weak.

Only Tsunade, who is the Hokage, and Orochimaru, who has lured and nurtured a large number of geniuses, have some useful people under their command.

However, the vast majority of these people are only so-so in terms of ability.

Furthermore, Tsunade might not be willing to mobilize Konoha ninjas to do this kind of thing.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoru looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Has the improvement to the Impure World Reincarnation been completed? Is it possible to make the impure body possess strength close to that of its former self?"

“It can be done perfectly, but the requirements for the offerings are very high. Ordinary offerings cannot meet the requirements.”

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Based on current experiments, the best sacrifice is a ninja who has fused with Hashirama's cells. This would not only enhance the strength of the Edo Tensei (Edo Body) but also increase the control over it. However, the number of Hashirama's cells is limited, so using them for this kind of thing would be too wasteful."

boom!

Tsunade slammed his fist down, shattering the table in front of him into countless pieces.

Tsunade glared angrily at Orochimaru: "Hey, do you want to fight?!"

Hashirama cells—those were her grandfather's remains!

Tsunade had long known about the special nature of Hashirama's cells and was willing to turn a blind eye to it.

But to discuss these things in front of her is simply to disregard Tsunade.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Yagami Yoruichi released her chakra pressure.

The terrifying pressure descended, instantly calming Tsunade and Orochimaru down.

Everyone was startled by the chakra pressure.

When Yagami Yoruichi doesn't release her chakra, she looks no different from an ordinary person who hasn't trained.

But when Yoruichi Yagami released her chakra, they couldn't even move a finger.

This is a huge gap in terms of the level of life.

"There are better options for offerings for reincarnation in the filth world."

Yagami Yoruichi was referring to the White Zetsu.

However, we'll have to wait until we find an opportunity to capture a batch of White Zetsu.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't elaborate, and directly said, "Orochimaru, first prepare the materials for the Impure World Reincarnation. Strong ninjas from various villages, as long as their strength meets the requirements, can be included in the candidate list."

Glancing at Tsunade, Yagami Yoruichi added, "Well, forget about Konoha's. Just prepare the materials for the Fourth Hokage. I'll leave that to you, Tsunade."

"Minato?" Tsunade frowned and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Minato Namikaze's soul is still inside the Shinigami's body and cannot be reincarnated from the Edo Tensei.

However, once the Reanimation Jutsu is broken, Minato Namikaze can be summoned using Edo Tensei.

“Minato himself is not important, but the half of the Nine-Tails that he sealed is inside him,” Yagami Yoruichi said. “As long as the Fourth Hokage is summoned using the Impure World Reincarnation, that half of the Nine-Tails will be summoned as well.”

"Nine-Tails?" Tsunade understood.

If we can't move Naruto Uzumaki, but we still need to gather all nine tailed beasts, then we can only find the half of the Nine-Tails sealed inside the Shinigami.

However, how did that half of the Nine-Tails end up inside Minato Namikaze's body?

Tsunade was puzzled, but she didn't ask immediately.

"Let's leave it at that for now. In the meantime, focus on gathering intelligence and stay discreet. Don't expose yourself before the official operation begins."

Yagami Yoruichi looked at Tsunade and asked, "The Chunin Exams are about to begin, right?"

"There are about five months left." Tsunade asked, "What's wrong?"

Yagami Yoru glanced at Orochimaru, then looked away and continued to Tsunade, "We can send a message to the other ninja villages to hold a joint Chunin Exam. Once the Chunin Exams are over, it will be time to act."

Either don't move.

When you're going to move, you must do it swiftly and decisively, giving others no time to react.

If we could unite all the ninja villages in the ninja world to hold a joint Chunin Exam.

At that time, the leaders of all the ninja villages will gather in Konoha and be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Several younger Jinchūriki might also personally arrive in Konoha, walking right into their trap.

At that time, the number of goals to be solved will be greatly reduced, saving a lot of energy.

When Yagami Yoruichi expressed her thoughts, Tsunade couldn't help but frown slightly.

If Yoruichi Yagami's plan is followed, Konoha will become the epicenter of the ninja world's vortex.

If things go wrong, so many powerful figures could clash in Konoha, potentially causing serious damage to the village.

However, upon further reflection, with Yagami Yoruichi personally overseeing things, such a situation was simply impossible.

Even the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages were powerless against Yagami Yoruichi.

Not to mention causing trouble.

Tsunade couldn't help but confirm, "You'll be in the village during the Chunin Exams, right?"

If Yagami Yoruichi wasn't there, she wouldn't want to let so many powerful outsiders into Konoha.

"Don't worry," Yagami Yoruichi said. "I'll be in Konoha for the entire Chunin Exams."

“Then I’ll write letters to the Kage of the other ninja villages after I get back,” Tsunade agreed.

"As for the Chunin Exams..." Orochimaru suddenly interjected, asking, "Could some of my kids participate as well? Their ages are just right."

"Orochimaru!" Tsunade's expression turned wary. "What kind of scheme are you plotting now?!"

"I just wanted to test the growth of those children." Orochimaru and Tsunade looked at each other, their eyes calm, revealing not a single piece of information.

"Go if you want." Yagami Yoru glanced at Orochimaru and warned, "But don't do anything reckless. You'll have the opportunity to study Konoha's bloodline later."

Because of the butterfly effect caused by Yoruichi Yagami, Orochimaru never came into contact with Itachi Uchiha, nor did he develop a morbid obsession with the Sharingan.

But by nature, he has an obsession with all kinds of bloodline limits and wants to study them in depth.

Yoruichi Yagami could somewhat guess Orochimaru's thoughts; he wanted to take this opportunity to observe the comparison between various bloodline limits up close.

However, Yoruichi Yagami was confident that with her in charge, Orochimaru wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Hehehe, I was just talking to you about fate, boss, to see if they could handle the children I raised." Orochimaru bluntly stated his thoughts: "Between fate and destiny, which is more important? I'm very curious about that question."

“Then you’re probably going to be disappointed.” Yagami Yoruichi shook his head and said, “Those two lives are indeed quite good, but it’s not time for their potential to be realized yet.”

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are both stronger than they were at the same time in the original work.
