The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Finally done!" After more than a month of research, or rather optimization, both the dark version and the normal emotion type of 'Zero Tail' have been successfully developed.

Bai Yue is very satisfied with the current results.

The dark version of Zero Tail amplifies emotions to an extreme degree, which, statistically speaking, starts at about 10 times and has no upper limit. The worse a person is, or the more negative emotions they have, the greater the amplification.

The most suitable characters for the dark version are probably characters like Itachi Senju and Tsuchiko.

It's a pity that Itachi Uchiha is already dead, but we must keep a copy for Tsuchiko-san.

The normal version of Zero-Tail only expands the range of emotions by about double, although the value is small. However, the advantage is obvious: anyone can "transplant" it. And it won't affect other people's lives; at most, it will just make the host's emotions a little richer.

"Now that this part is finished, it's time to harvest the crops." Looking at the several Grass Ninja Village materials wrapped in large black cocoons, Bai Yue nodded in satisfaction again, and then left the Realm of Truth and Illusion.

More than a month ago, he sent out several groups of shadow clones.

Although the first wave of shadow clones claimed to be protecting the two major divisions, this was actually just a side task. Their main mission was to farm the various scrolls and books in the two major divisions to level up their skills.

The second wave of shadow clones went to find the attackers, intending to turn them into material.

As for the third wave, it was to increase the intensity of the attacks on the two major branch ninjas who had just integrated into Konoha, as well as the ninjas who went to provide support.

And now! Three years...one month has passed, and it's time for him to reclaim his experience points.

"Yugao, has anything major happened recently?" Having arrived at the Hokage's office first, Shiro asked directly as he saw Yugao engrossed in her work.

"Reporting to the Hokage, there have been a few important incidents recently." Convincing herself of her surprise, Uzuki Yugao replied seriously, "Recently, our two branches in the Land of Wind and the Land of Water have been attacked, but both attacks have been repelled."

"Hmm, continue." A smile appeared on his lips: It must be my shadow clone exerting its power, not bad, not bad.

Without external pressure, if the people in the three villages remain separated and unable to integrate, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later.

"The former rogue ninja of Kirigakure, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata, has gone missing, and all the former Kirigakure ANBU who were responsible for capturing him have also lost contact. Advisor Mei Terumi has dispatched elite troops to investigate."

"Utaka?" Bai Yue still remembered the bubble-blowing Jinchūriki, although his main impression was of his apprentice who had the instruction manual tattooed on his body.

That girl named Hotaru, from the Tsuchigumo clan or some other ninja clan, left a deep impression on Baiyue, and she also remembered Yugao by chance.

However, one must acknowledge this guy's strength. He "accidentally" encountered the Six Paths of Pain in a wild encounter and still managed to defeat two of them, so his combat power is indeed not low.

Although the Blood Mist is cruel, it can indeed nurture elite ninjas. If those skilled ninjas in the Mist Village do not defect, the village's strength is truly formidable.

Unfortunately, it was ruined by Tu Zi Ge later.

"Was the Akatsuki just a step behind, or was it intentional? I'm a little curious, but never mind, I'll find out more after I finish harvesting the crops."

"In addition, the Land of Water has also sent us military funds, but I don't know the exact amount." After all, he was just a secretary, a secretary whose direct superior had been out of sight for a long time.

If Bai Yue were here, everything would be fine. But without Bai Yue, some confidential information is beyond her reach.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Bai Yue nodded, then said with a hint of concern, "But your most important task right now is to get some rest."

"Lord Hokage, I..."

"Let's get some sleep," Bai Yue interrupted, then tapped Uzuki Yugao's forehead with a finger, instantly putting her into a baby-like sleep.

"How pitiful." Looking at Uzuki Yugao who had fallen asleep immediately, Hakugetsu shook his head pitifully, then said to the door, "Shikaku, come in for a moment."

"It's really amazing that the Hokage actually came today." The advisors exchanged glances, all seeing a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

Especially Koharu, who transferred to another dormitory, and Mitokado, who suffered from inflammation.

When he first became the Fifth Hokage, the Hokage would spend most of his time in the Hokage Building. But as time went on, the Hokage became increasingly unreliable, especially recently.

She went even further, letting herself go and not showing her face for over a month.

"Lord Hokage!" Shikaku greeted him immediately as he entered the office with practiced ease.

"Besides the attack on the branch and the disappearance of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, what else has been particularly important lately?" Bai Yue asked casually. As for military spending, that was irrelevant to Bai Yue.

"We suspect that the Akatsuki might target the Three-Tails, so we are preparing to send personnel to ambush them." After saying this, Shikaku looked at Byakuya with expectant eyes: "Please make the decision, Hokage-sama."

That unconventional giant turtle?

"I'll take a look while I'm at it," Bai Yue said calmly.

"Yes..." Shikaku lowered his head and said nothing more, his mind racing with thoughts.

What is the Hokage thinking? He knows the danger of the Akatsuki, yet he makes no attempt to stop them, and even seems to be letting them run rampant.

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong.

Is the Hokage pondering something, or...?

Recalling what had happened before, Shikaku's heart grew heavier.

"Hokage-sama!" Shikaku suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with determination and resolve: "What are you thinking? I want to know your thoughts."

Logically speaking, such a direct and open approach would not be a wise move for a smart person like Shikaku. But he did it anyway, and with the resolute determination to be silenced by Shiro.

"My thoughts?" She looked at Shikaku with surprise. "Have you discovered something?"

"You and Orochimaru must be in contact, and with your strength, killing or even capturing those Akatsuki members should be a piece of cake." Since he had already revealed his hand, Shikaku went straight to the point: "Not only that, with your abilities, it's highly likely that you let the One-Tailed Jinchuriki be captured and extracted by the Akatsuki."

"Don't talk nonsense. I really didn't know Gaara was captured at first." Bai Yue looked at Shikaku with interest. This guy was indeed quite interesting.
