Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 137 Uchiha: The Hyuga are all spineless!

"What about the other technique you mentioned? I trust your assurances, but we need to see what the ninjutsu is like so I can explain it to my clan."

Japan is very satisfied, but one thing is one thing.

Jingyan said, "Shall I demonstrate?"

"I'll do it."

The daily difference moves forward one step.

Jingyan nodded.

Then, he formed hand seals, and in an instant, strands of hair grew and lengthened, piercing Hyuga Hizashi's body one by one under his precise and powerful chakra control.

Every single hair carries a rich chakra.

Hyuga Hizashi immediately retreated.

but.

Before he could run, a strand of hair silently arrived, piercing his body one by one.

Hiashi tried to swing his arm and use chakra to cut off his hair, only to find that he couldn't gather enough chakra in his palm.

Acupressure, sealing.

Hyuga Hizashi looked at Kyohiko in surprise.

No.

You really know how?

Hiashi Hyuga maintained his Byakugan, so when Hizashi was submerged by his massive amount of hair, he immediately realized that his guess was correct.

Hair and acupressure – a brilliant combination!

This is because Jingyan's acupressure technique is still quite rudimentary; he has only mastered a small portion of it. If this kid had the Byakugan, he could see all the acupressure points on his body...

Combined with the "hair" technique, the effect is absolutely terrifying.

"While it's not very effective against heavily defended enemies, the distance issue is definitely resolved quite well."

Kyohiko withdrew his ninjutsu.

The artificial, low-end version of the "rabbit hair needle" will definitely not let the Hyuga clan suffer.

Hiashi Hyuga nodded repeatedly.

He is satisfied.

Jingyan handed over the scroll.

"Normally, joining the medical system would be of great benefit to you as well, and it would be a win-win situation. I don't need to make any extra contributions, but this is our sincerity, and I hope that the Hyuga family will also show sincerity."

"It is indeed a win-win decision. I will also facilitate the matter of acupoints and will never let Jingyan-kun's efforts go to waste."

Hiashi took the ninjutsu scroll.

The Hyuga clan would certainly benefit from joining the medical system, but given their status, they could maintain their current position without needing to contribute any more manpower or effort.

But he couldn't say such a thing.

No matter how talented Jingyan is, he's still a child.

Adults must follow the rules, but children can disregard the rules to a certain extent, as long as they don't cross the line.

If we flip the table then, everyone will suffer.

Age and talent are the foundation of confidence.

Hijika carefully examined the scroll.

Yang Release Ninjutsu.

He doesn't know how; he needs more time to study it, but the results should be real.

Japan puts its feet away.

"You'll definitely get good news in two days at most."

"No rush. I need to wait for someone to come back. Until then, even if you have time, it will be difficult for me to find the time to help you."

"Alright."

……

On the streets of Konoha, ninjas dressed in clothes bearing the Uchiha clan crest patrolled back and forth, their eyes and attention elsewhere.

A moment later, one of them hurriedly ran back.

"How is it?"

"I went to the Hyuga clan."

"The Hyuga clan, damn it, what are they doing with Konoha now?"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha had a gloomy look in his eyes.

First, a large number of Hyuga clan members went to Konoha Hospital. Then, Yoshimine Kyohiko, who had disappeared for several days, reappeared and went directly to the Hyuga clan again.

He absolutely refused to believe that the two were unrelated.

Konoha, Hyuga...

Have they started a new collaboration?

Medical treatment?

In Konoha, if we're talking about who poses the greatest threat to the Uchiha clan besides the Hokage faction, it's undoubtedly the Hyuga clan.

And now.

The Hyuga clan is growing stronger, while the Uchiha clan is conservative and suppressing them. If this continues, the Uchiha clan will likely be squeezed out by the Hyuga clan in various fields.

"Uncle Yashiro, we..."

"Let's patrol first, and not give them anything to complain about."

Uchiha Hachimoku lowered his voice.

He moved forward silently.

The Uchiha clan had a tough life.

Their every move is being watched closely by the villagers and Konoha's leadership, especially during this period of power transition in Konoha, when they must be even more careful.

In particular, Konoha is very powerful now!

As dusk fell and the sun set, the guards finally finished their work and returned to their tribe's territory.

To the clan.

The clan chief's room was filled with people.

"Fugaku, those spineless Hyuga clan members are getting closer and closer to Konoha."

"..."

Fugaku remained silent.

"We must do something, otherwise, given Konoha's current capabilities and development, the space for the Uchiha clan will only shrink."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha offered a low-pitched admonition.

Fugaku sighed, "I originally thought this war would be an opportunity for the Uchiha to rise again, but I never expected..."

This crisis originates from three major ninja villages, and its danger is absolutely no less than that of the Second Shinobi World War a few years ago.

How could the Uchiha clan not be used in such a crisis?

So, he started calculating, thinking that he could use this to negotiate with Konoha and demand more leverage, especially now that Tsunade had become Hokage and Danzo had left...

He thought he had seen a turning point.

but.

Who could have imagined that the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, hailed as the "strongest Kazekage," would die so silently on the border of the Land of Fire?

The Sand Village's offensive was thus neutralized without them even realizing it.

"I heard that the Fourth Kazekage is currently searching for gold dust in the desert of the Land of Wind to fill the void. Alas, after this battle, Sunagakure will not be able to recover for several years."

An elder sighed.

"On the eastern front, our people didn't contribute much at all. The Hokage faction took care of everything themselves. The other clans of Konoha are all on their side. We have no advantage."

Another elder spoke in a somber tone.

They didn't actually hope for Konoha's defeat, but rather that only when Konoha was at a disadvantage would the Uchiha have any hope of turning the tide and returning to the center of power.

Otherwise, they cannot see a future.

The room was deathly silent.

Fugaku remained silent, as if he had only come to listen without offering any opinions.

After a short while, a loud cry came from outside.

Fugaku Uchiha sighed softly.

"Let's stop here. I understand how everyone feels, but it's not the right time to take any action, and future developments may not necessarily be favorable to us..."

"At least, Tsunade, Yoshimine Kyohiko, and the others are much stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo."

After he finished speaking, he got up and opened the door, as if to see the guest out.

The clansmen looked at each other in bewilderment, but had no choice but to get up and leave.

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was the last to leave.

He looked at Fugaku.

"Patriarch, at a time like this, you must step forward and make a decision to unify the opinions of the clan. Otherwise, it will be too late once the clan falls into chaos and disintegrates!"

"I... will."

Fugaku hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The Eighth Hokage sighed and left.

The room was silent for a few seconds before Uchiha Mikoto entered, carrying the child with a concerned expression on her face.

"Fugaku, just now..."

"Yes, it's okay, thank you."

Fugaku knew that although Itachi was less than a year old, he was very well-behaved and rarely cried. Just now, Mikoto must have felt something was wrong, so she deliberately made him cry.

"I took Itachi to the hospital for a check-up today and saw them wandering around the hospital. It seems like they're planning to work there."

Mikoto is holding Itachi Uchiha.

This child is indeed well-behaved.

She had just been beaten and cried, but after being comforted for a short while, she immediately stopped crying.

She recounted the situation at the time.

"Oh right, Yu Xia is inside too."

"Hyuga Yuuka? Isn't she Hiashi's wife?"

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback.

As the wife of the head of the household, she actually had to work at the hospital?

Have the Japanese football team gone mad?

wrong!

Have the Hyuga clan gone mad?

He found it hard to believe. The Hyuga clan was known for its rigidity and inflexibility, yet now even the Hyuga clan was starting to adapt, allowing its members to train in medical ninjutsu...

In fact, the head of the family's wife personally led the team.

How much determination does that take?

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

In this great battle, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha gradually rose to power and occupied the center of power, while a new generation of geniuses also emerged.

Top talents include Minato Namikaze, Kyohiko Yoshimine, and the new generation around his age.

Secondly, there's Kakashi Hatake, etc.

In comparison, the Uchiha clan had no opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in the past, which made them very embarrassed.

It's not that they lack strength, but rather that Konoha simply doesn't need them.

Now, even the Hyuga clan...

Change or integration?

Fugaku Uchiha felt as if two paths had appeared ahead, but he didn't know which one to choose.

"Fugaku, what are you thinking?"

"Let's eat first."

……

The next day, the Hyuga clan.

"Master, wasn't the vote already taken yesterday?"

"Today, I'm here to show you what the Hyuga clan can gain by making small changes."

As he spoke, Rizu handed the scroll to the clan elder below.

The family elders passed it around, then exchanged glances and said, "This technique..."

"It can be used in conjunction with acupressure to achieve a very strong blocking effect."

Richa replied, "I experienced it firsthand."

Silence fell over the audience.

These elders had all trained themselves and naturally understood the importance of acupoints to the Hyuga clan, which is why they had always opposed cooperating with Konoha to research so-called "acupoints".

In their view, this was clearly a secret technique of the Hyuga clan that the Konoha leadership coveted.

After a moment of silence, Hinata Kisai spoke up and asked.

"Hiashi, does Yoshimine Kyohiko really know pressure point techniques?"

"It's true, and they're very skilled at it. They must have mastered quite a few acupoints, and..."

Hijiri stood up to answer.

Finally, he looked at Japan Football Club, seemingly seeking instructions.

Rizu nodded slightly.

It was only then that Hijikata revealed this.

"Elder Xizhai, he also discovered an acupoint that, when stimulated, can grant one powerful explosive force."

"What?"

Hinata Kisai found it difficult to remain calm.

Are there such mysteries about acupoints in the human body?

"Really?"

"You're not kidding us, are you?"

"this……"

The other elders whispered among themselves, each one finding it hard to believe, or rather, unwilling to believe it.

The Hyuga clan has studied acupoints for a century, but has not discovered any special acupoints.

They didn't believe that an ordinary person could research something they couldn't research in just a short period of time.

This view is widely accepted.

Although the Hyuga clan is not as outwardly proud as the Uchiha clan, they still have their own arrogance and look down on ordinary ninjas.

Japan knows it can't let those old guys lead the way anymore.

He said calmly, "Kyohiko promised that if we agree and sign a contract, he will share the forbidden acupoints that we have discovered with us."

"this……"

If the research is only shared after it's completed, most people will think it's a free lunch. But if you can get it just by agreeing and signing a contract, it's highly likely to be true.

Now they had no choice but to believe it.

They looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

"As the head of the family, I'll take the lead."

Hiashi Hyuga stood up. "I agree to cooperate with Kyohiko to study the mysteries of acupuncture points together."

"I support it."

Hijiri also got up.

happy Zhai glanced around; the other elders were all observing and hesitating.

He no longer hesitated: "I support it too."

A smile appeared on Riji's face.

Hinata Kisai has a lot of influence among the elders, and since even he agrees, the matter is basically a done deal.

With Hinata Kisai agreeing, the other elders followed suit.

Before long, everyone in the group had expressed their opinions.

Eighty percent agreed, and twenty percent abstained.

by!

……

A few days later, in the morning, outside Konoha.

Orochimaru looked up at the gate in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Approach slowly.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

The two people at the door had already gotten up and were standing there.

Upon seeing Orochimaru, their faces showed excitement and a mix of emotions.

Orochimaru smiled slightly.

"Please register."

"yes!"

Haneda excitedly helped fill in the forms, leaving only the last name unwritten.

After signing his name, Orochimaru headed towards the Hokage Building.

Upon reaching the door, he looked ahead with a puzzled expression.

More than twenty female ninjas from the Hyuga clan crossed the tea-making street and headed towards Konoha Hospital on the other side.

His eyes showed doubt.

Hyuga clan, Konoha Hospital?

What's going on?

Orochimaru quickened his pace, filled with doubt.

Upon arriving at the office, he caught up with Tsunade and then inquired about the situation, only to learn about the current cooperative relationship between the Hyuga clan and Kyohiko and Konoha.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

A collaboration with Hinata?

interesting!

"Tsunade, I'm going to the Anbu base..."

"No need, he'll be there soon knowing you're back."

Tsunade understands Kyohiko.

Once the Anbu receive the news, they can arrive in just a few seconds using the Flying Thunder God technique.

Orochimaru was puzzled.

The next instant, he sensed a fluctuation of chakra outside.

Immediately, Kyohiko's chakra and aura dissipated.

Orochimaru turned around and opened the door, only to see Kyohiko standing in the outer corridor.

He was a little confused.

"Flying Thunder God Technique? Minato is in the Anbu?"

"No, Minato isn't suited for the missions and lifestyle of the Anbu, so he doesn't want to join. I'm currently in charge of the Anbu..."

Jingyan explained.

Orochimaru's face showed surprise.

The water gate is not in the dark.

So, does that mean Kyohiko's Flying Thunder God Technique is his own?

Really...

That's amazing!

Orochimaru sighed inwardly.

Even he couldn't master such an S-rank space-time ninjutsu, and Kyohiko's research time was definitely not long.

He was amazed for a moment, then looked back at the boy in front of him.

Age is Kyohiko's biggest problem.

"Minato is indeed not suitable to be the leader of the Dark Guard, but you are too young. You may be capable, but you may not be able to command respect."

He chuckled softly: "Can you control it?"

"There's not much of a problem right now. The Moonlight Clan has been brought under control with Tsunade's help, and most of the other clans agree..."

Jingyan smiled and began to talk about the current situation.

Orochimaru listened quietly.

After listening, he nodded slightly, his eyes filled with excitement: "Come on, take me to the Dark Division, let's talk about some follow-up research!"
