The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"What are you thinking about, you old codger?!" Seeing her old partner's eyes suddenly become somewhat unfocused, Koharu Utatane immediately sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but tease, "What? Still having fantasies about Chiyo?"

"Nonsense! I didn't!" Mitomon Homura immediately retorted.

"It's alright, I understand. After all, Chiyo was the most beautiful girl in Sunagakure back then. She was pretty and very strong. It's normal for you to have some thoughts about her back then."

"Shut up! How come I never noticed you were such a chatterbox before?" Mitokado Homura rolled her eyes, but readily admitted, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. I'm already an old man, can't I even reminisce a little?"

"Heh~ It's good that you know you're getting old." Koharu Utatane continued to tease, "At least you're better than Hiruzen. I can't even be bothered to talk about that old pervert."

"Hiruzen..." Mitokado Homura shook his head and stopped talking.

"Let's go. Chiyo and Ebizo haven't arrived yet, and the two of us still need to keep working hard." Mitokado Homura frowned. "Speaking of which, things are quite troublesome on the Sand Village side."

"It's troublesome..."

The two chatted as they hurried back.

On the other side~

"So this is the Flying Thunder God Technique? It's really amazing!" In the blink of an eye, they successfully arrived at Kirigakure. It truly lives up to its reputation as a space-time ninjutsu that laid the foundation for the Fourth Hokage's fame.

As for the second generation, he was a master of forbidden techniques; the mere Flying Thunder God Technique couldn't truly showcase his brilliance. His Shadow Clone Technique alone was enough to make him a master with countless students.

However, Minato Namikaze seems to be even more skilled at using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"I suppose so," Bai Yue replied casually. Her spatial mastery, which had long since evolved, was now far beyond what the Flying Thunder God Technique could match.

He just prefers to call him Flying Thunder God.

"Everyone step back, I need to get ready to carry rice for them." Bai Yue waved her hand behind her and looked down at the Mist Village.

"..." We were only able to fly because of the ninjutsu you released, old man. Moving around is not something we can control.

"Tsk tsk, the vigilance of Kirigakure is not very good. We've been here for so long, and no one has noticed us yet." Although we are outside the barrier, no one has looked up so far.

"Then let me give you a heads-up, Thunder Spear!" He clasped his hands together and slowly pulled them apart, revealing a Thunder Spear identical to the one used by Ulquiorra in Bai Yue's hand: "Here we go!"

The Thunder Spear pierced through the barrier of the Hidden Mist Village in an instant, struck a riverbed, and exploded!

"The power is so-so, but it's pretty cool." Looking at the panicked crowd, Bai Yue commented on the ninjutsu while descending the altitude.

"Lord Hokage, isn't this a bit dangerous?" Shikaku, who was also looking at the Mist Ninja who had begun to assemble below, was still a little flustered, even though there was a precedent of the Sand Village being incorporated into the army, but he had never experienced it firsthand.

"Don't worry, Shikaku, Lord Hakugetsu is very strong. We just need to watch quietly," Namiashi Raido said directly.

Although Shikaku holds a high position in Konoha, serving as both the leader of the Jonin squad and an advisor—a true high-ranking official—he is incredibly approachable and maintains excellent relationships with both superiors and subordinates.

"Who goes there?!" A seemingly strong Mist Ninja below looked warily at Bai Yue and the others in the air.

Bai Yue beckoned, and the warrior floated directly towards Bai Yue and the others.

"What kind of technique is this?!" The Mist Ninja exclaimed in terror, struggling desperately, but to no avail.

"name?"

"Mizuhara..." The Mist Ninja, who had been pulled up, immediately answered obediently.

A wise man submits to circumstances! No matter what, Mizuhara was a Jonin, yet he was utterly powerless against this leader of the Konoha ninjas, who lifted him off the ground like a chicken.

From this one move alone, Mizuhara knew he was no match for him! Rather than being killed outright, he might as well behave and get spared.

"Your strength seems pretty good? Are you interested in joining our Konoha?" While waiting for Mei Terumi to arrive, Hakugetsu sized up the Mist Ninja.

"This..." Mizuhara looked hesitant. If he were recruited by such a top expert elsewhere, he would naturally agree without hesitation.

But this is Kirigakure!

If I were to surrender directly, I'd probably be put on Kirigakure's kill list.

"Hmm? Is there some kind of difficulty?" Bai Yue tilted her head and looked at the guy.

"Not at all, it is truly an honor to be chosen by you, sir!" As a Jonin of the Mist Ninja who emerged from the Blood Mist, he immediately agreed to Bai Yue's second offer of recruitment.

Although being added to the Kirigakure kill list is extremely dangerous, if I don't agree now, I'll probably die even faster.

As for a sense of belonging to the village?

Are you kidding me!

He's a Mist Ninja who emerged from the bloody mist! Who would feel a sense of belonging to a village that treats them like disposable resources?!

Even though he is now a Jonin and the policies in the Blood Mist have been abolished by the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, the memories of his past fears still remain.

To be honest, if the policies in the Blood Mist hadn't been abolished, he probably would have chosen to defect sooner or later.

"A wise choice." Bai Yue was quite satisfied with this pragmatic Kirigakure ninja. He manipulated him to float behind him and continued, "Get behind me first and think carefully about the information on all the Jonin and even the Special Jonin of Kirigakure. I'll need it later."

"Yes, sir!"

"This is our Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Lord Hyuga Hakugetsu. You'd better remember him well," Genma Shiranui immediately introduced.

"Thank you!" Mizuhara bowed gratefully to Genma Shiranui and immediately began to think about the information of all the special Jonin and above ninjas in Kirigakure.

"Fifth Hokage Hyuga Hakugetsu, are you trying to start a war by doing this in our Kirigakure?!" Finally, Mei Terumi, whom Hakugetsu had been waiting for, appeared.

Appearing on the rooftop of the tallest building nearby, Mei Terumi stared at Shirogetsu with a solemn expression.

Although she was momentarily attracted by Bai Yue's beauty, as the Kage of a village, and the Mizukage who ended the blood mist, Mei Terumi, despite her mediocre strength, still possessed a strong will.

"War? You overestimate your Kirigakure village!" Bai Yue scoffed, "Enough with the nonsense."

"I've come here today for only two things: to reclaim the Byakugan of my Hyuga clan." Descending slightly further, Hakugetsu gazed indifferently at Mei Terumi and continued, "As for the second matter, that depends on the decision of you Kirigakure ninja: submission or annihilation?"
