Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 140 Hiashi: Does separating from the family mean we're no longer family members?

"However, you also need to put some pressure on the Hyuga clan, otherwise they'll drag their feet and secretly start researching on their own... then we'll suffer a huge loss!"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, exuding murderous intent.

"Don't worry, I've got a secret weapon up my sleeve too. I haven't told them about the forbidden technique yet. Besides, if they try to figure it out on their own, they might end up in a pretty bad situation."

Jingyan chuckled softly.

Researching acupoints comes at a price.

It's easy to attack others using acupoints, but it's difficult to tap into the potential of your own acupoints; it requires very precise control of force and intensity.

Even he himself, with his high level of perception, strong chakra control, and some understanding of acupoints from his previous life, could only carefully try one or two acupoints.

Each time, he controlled his chakra with great precision.

If the Hyuga clan were to attempt this rashly, they would surely suffer the consequences. Furthermore—

He believed that Japan was not that stupid.

Hiashi may be very cunning, but the other party can definitely see that he has already gained the upper hand, and offending him will not do Hiashi any good.

and so……

"I always felt that old man Hiashi was plotting something."

"Well, it's good that you know what's going on. As for Riji's matter, let him handle it himself. As long as we don't lose out, that's fine. He can do his thing, and we'll do ours."

Orochimaru responded and went back to his experiments.

Wild animals are different from humans.

They often lack spiritual practice, have a very limited perception of bodily changes, and provide very simple feedback, requiring careful guessing and experimentation.

Bang!

The corpse in front of him suddenly exploded and then burst apart. Orochimaru was quick, throwing the beast away midway through its journey.

It took root and grew into a large tree right outside the cave.

Orochimaru's face darkened.

Then he turned around, his face showing annoyance.

In the past, there would have been no need for such trouble; Danzo would have simply captured enemy ninjas for him!

Orochimaru took a deep breath.

For the first time, he felt that Danzo was much better than Kyohiko in some ways, at least he didn't ask for reasons and was always willing to help.

"Senior, have you ever considered first cultivating ninja beasts with stronger resilience, and then using them for special experiments?"

Jingyan reminded him.

Orochimaru was taken aback.

Raising ninja beasts?

He had snakes he could command, but now he has to breed ninja beasts specifically for experiments...

How absurd!

but.

Ninja beasts are indeed much smarter and more capable than ordinary wild animals. If ninja beasts can be trained, they will be of great help to his various experiments.

Do not!

It wasn't just his experiments.

Konoha's medical research would likely require a large number of ninja beasts, and these beasts themselves are of extremely high value.

Orochimaru glanced at Kyohiko and smiled, "Want me to help you?"

"How can it be called helping? We are helping each other and achieving a win-win cooperation."

Kyohiko replied.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where have you gotten to in terms of progress?"

"The crows have been raised and trained. I suggest they use the most basic method: repeatedly demonstrate how to extract chakra using chakra."

Jingyan smiled.

Orochimaru, after listening, couldn't offer any particularly good advice.

In terms of ninja beast training, everyone is completely clueless. Only the Inuzuka clan has rich experience, but this is the Inuzuka clan's secret technique. How could we possibly teach it to them?

He thought for a moment and said, "Crows are very smart and should be relatively easy to teach. Your idea is correct."

"Yes, let's find a breakthrough first, and then see how to correct it."

Jingyan nodded.

Orochimaru was disappointed.

He can't help with this.

"Actually, crows are not the best experimental subjects; animals like chimpanzees and mice might be more effective."

Jingyan reminded him.

Orangutans are smarter and closer to humans.

As for mice and rats.

These two are experimental materials that have been verified in the previous life, and compared to crows, these birds are definitely more reliable.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "That's not difficult."

……

Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga strode inside, opened the door to a secret room, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Bang!

He opened the door directly.

"Elder Zhi, is this the explanation you wanted to give me?"

Hiashi Hyuga's face was grim.

He stared at the corpse on the ground, anger rising to his brow: "You used human subjects for experiments; do you want to be punished according to the family rules?"

"Master, I... I didn't mean that, I just wanted to..."

Hyuga Osamu's face was pale as he looked at the corpse on the ground, his heart filled with panic and fear. "Master, I... I know I was wrong, but I never expected it to end like this."

Hiashi Hyuga's eyes were icy cold.

He exuded murderous intent as his gaze swept across the entire room: "You were merely following Elder Zhi's orders, making you accomplices. You're confined here, and will serve in the Dark Division afterward."

The tribesmen trembled and nodded repeatedly.

Finally, Hiashi Hyuga looked at Osamu Hyuga with a cold expression: "Osamu-senpai, you are truly a disgrace to the main family."

After he finished speaking, his chakra erupted.

Roll your eyes, open!

"Hisashi, how dare you..."

Hyuga Osamu was shocked and quickly retreated, but in the next instant, Hyuga Hiashi formed hand seals, and his hair grew rapidly, piercing into Hyuga Osamu's body one by one in the blink of an eye.

Immediately—

Acupressure!

The surrounding clansmen were surprised, astonished, and even shocked. They had heard about the Hyuga clan's deal with the Konoha leadership, but they didn't know the details.

Now we see it.

The ninjutsu that allows you to manipulate your hair, combined with pressure point techniques, produces terrifying results!

Unbelievable.

"Hiashi, no! You can't kill me!"

Hyuga Osamu's eyes were filled with terror.

His chakra was sealed!

Originally, he thought that Hiashi Hyuga only wanted to take away his power and status, but now it seems that Hiashi wants to kill him.

This……

How could this happen?

He struggled fiercely, but Hiashi Hyuga said righteously, "Admit your mistake? Does being a member of the clan mean you're not one of our clan? Can you really save a clansman's life just by saying you admit your mistake?"

Hyuga Osamu's eyes held a hint of fear and anger.

He was about to curse when he realized that Hiashi's hair had already bound his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.

The next second, Bagua Palm!

boom.

The chakra was precisely injected into the acupoints, directly piercing through Hyuga Osamu's heart.

The hair was pulled back.

Hiashi Hyuga stared coldly at the corpse, his anger seemingly still simmering: "The branch family's duty is to protect the main family, but such a vicious experiment is not protection!"

He stared at the corpse, his voice icy: "I will get justice for him!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Hiji lowered his head, a hint of a sigh in his eyes.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Shouts rang out from inside the cellar.

"Rizashi, take them all away. I need to ask the elders what their thoughts are. Is it really about sacrificing our people?"

Hiashi Hyuga was aggressive, looking as if he wanted to seek justice for the dead.

however.

A wave of sorrow washed over Hijiki.

Maybe--

All of this was exactly what Hiashi had planned. He did nothing but give a silent push from behind.

Rizu...

Since their father's death, this older brother has become increasingly distant over the years.

Now, this is something that frightens even more.

He couldn't imagine whether Hiashi would treat him and his descendants in the same way one day...

As the Japanese followed behind, he felt utterly suffocated.

……

At the secret base, Kyohiko was reviewing intelligence about the village.

"Has something happened to the Hyuga clan?"

Kyohiko looked at the intelligence report in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle. Then he looked at Tsukikage Shusaku and asked, "You even got intelligence on the Hyuga clan?"

"No need to do anything. Many families should have heard about it. I heard that an elder of the Hyuga family died, and it is suspected that Hiashi killed him with his own hands."

Yue Guangxiu replied.

Jingyan put it aside, lost in thought.

This is tactical entrapment by the Japanese national football team!

After spending ten days or so, we finally caught the fish. Now we can get to work, right?

He nodded slightly.

"I understand. This is an internal matter for the Hyuga clan. We don't need to get involved. Just do your own thing."

After speaking, Jingyan paused, then added, "By the way, if any members of the Anbu have Hyuga clan members who need to return to participate in the funeral, remember to give them leave. We Anbu members must also be humane!"

"Oh? Yes!"

Moonlight Show seemed bewildered, but still agreed.

Although--

He didn't understand that the current secret intelligence network was only half-built, and the outside world was peaceful, with no special missions at all.

What kind of missions would there be at this time of year?

"etc."

"Um?"

"Is tomorrow the ninja academy's recruitment day?"

"Yes, Lord Lin."

Moonlight Show nodded.

Jingyan nodded: "I understand. You can go do your own thing."

……

The next day, the ninja academy was in an uproar.

"Sigh, another year has passed!"

"Yes, there are new students again, and there's still over a year left..."

"Tsk, if the rules had been changed earlier, I would definitely prefer to stay in the Ninja Academy, at least then I wouldn't have to worry about the dangers of missions."

Upstairs, everyone was talking at once.

Behind them, Obito Uchiha, who was about to go for a run, twitched his lips slightly. He then stopped chatting with them, pulled down his goggles, and ran downstairs.

He knew that many people felt that life at the ninja academy was good now.

They can access more advanced knowledge and ninjutsu, master stronger skills, and after graduation, they can possess greater strength and avoid death.

but.

He doesn't want to!

Obito Uchiha was determined.

He wanted to go out, he wanted Lin to see him, instead of hiding in the campus and slowly being forgotten.

Forgotten...

It's so painful!

Obito Uchiha ran with all his might, Rin's image constantly replaying in his mind, which gave him even greater motivation.

He wants to become a genin!

……

"Shisui, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I think I saw a familiar member of our tribe."

A boy looked away.

Uchiha Inahi curled her lip and sneered, "Him? He's the worst student in our Uchiha clan. Before the reorganization, he was always last in his class."

"And now?"

The water stopped and the head rose.

Uchiha Inahisa's face stiffened, and she said, "It's alright, at least in terms of ninjutsu, they didn't disgrace our Uchiha clan."

"Oh, Brother Daohuo, I'm going to register now."

"it is good."

Uchiha Inahisa watched Shisui enter the school.

He stood there for a long time, then turned his head to look at Obito in the distance.

This guy seems to be working quite hard.

Shame inspires courage?

He seemed to be deep in thought. After observing for a while, he walked towards the registration area for Zhishui.

……

"What's your name?"

"Uchiha Shisui"

Zhi Shui answered truthfully.

After the transformation, Jingyan looked up at the seemingly "ordinary" little boy.

Who would have thought that he was a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, and even more so, a genius of the Uchiha clan who would awaken "Kotoamatsukami" in the future?

and.

Compared to Itachi Uchiha, Shisui was much more normal!

Jingyan stared at Shisui without saying a word, while Mitomon Homura continued to ask questions, such as about his identity and future goals.

Uchiha Shisui answered truthfully.

After asking the question, he stood up, saluted politely, and then left the classroom.

Zhi Shui left.

However, as Mitokado Homura turned his head, about to ask a question, he saw the object beside him split into two, and then one of them disappeared in an instant.

Mitokado Yan's expression was slightly blank, then he sighed helplessly.

"You're just leaving a shadow clone?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Kyohiko replied.

Mitokado Homura said, "You want to target the Uchiha?"

"I think you've all misunderstood the Second Hokage's intentions. The Uchiha should be on guard, but we should also make use of them."

Jingyan shared his opinion.

Mitokado Homura nodded: "Then, there's someone in your year, why don't you pay attention to them?"

"You mean Obito?"

Jingyan's shadow clone looked out the window.

Uchiha Obito...

Jingyan shook his head: "He's not suitable."

Actually, Jingyan had considered it, but there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

This guy is single-minded, even less logical than Itachi Uchiha.

find him?

The probability of a rollover is relatively high.

Mitokado Homura nodded helplessly: "Alright, you guys are in charge now, but Hiruzen also wants to deal with the Uchiha issue, he just doesn't know how to handle it."

"So, do you intend to trust the wisdom of future generations, or are you waiting for some miracle to occur within the Uchiha clan?"

Jingyan turned his head.

Mitomon Homura was speechless. He really didn't know what Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were thinking, and he himself hadn't considered how to handle the situation properly.

but.

It seems that Kyohiko is planning to follow the path of the second generation.

Another Uchiha Kagami?

and.

Or a descendant of the mirror...

Mitokado Homura remained silent: "I hope it succeeds. Is there anything I can do?"

"No need, the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make."

"Shadow Clone" answered straightforwardly.

Mitomon En's lips twitched slightly, and he lost the desire to continue communicating with Kyohiko.

At this moment, Kyohiko had already left using the Flying Thunder God technique and was standing on a high place looking down.

Uchiha Inahisa led Shisui back to the Uchiha clan's territory, protecting him very carefully and not giving him any chance to get close.

but.

Previously, when Shisui came up to hand over the materials, Kyohiko had already silently inscribed the Flying Thunder God Technique on him, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

As he was pondering this, an ANBU ninja appeared in an instant.

"My lord, the Third Hokage has returned. The Hokage has ordered you to lead men to escort him."

"I see."

Jingyan nodded.

Then, he vanished from the spot using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not long after, Kakashi led his team to the Anbu headquarters.

"We're going to escort the three generations of elders back to the village."

"yes!"
