Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 331 The Changed Future

Konoha Village, the territory of the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Neji bowed at the entrance of the dojo, then closed the door and left.

A gentle breeze swept by, and he keenly sensed that something was amiss at the Hyuga clan's territory today.

It's too quiet.

This is the road leading to the main family's inner courtyard. In the past, there were always patrol personnel on duty, but today there wasn't a single person in sight.

Just as Neji began to have doubts, he bumped into a group of people walking in a hurry.

Leading the way were Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, and his father, Hyuga Hizashi.

Behind them followed several ninjas wearing animal masks, as well as a Konoha ninja with a senbon needle in his mouth.

He knew that it was Konoha's ANBU.

"Chieftain, Father."

Neji bowed slightly in greeting.

"Neji, where's Hinata?"

"Clan leader, Lady Hinata has just finished training and is resting in the dojo."

Upon hearing this, Hiashi's tense nerves seemed to relax slightly. Without saying another word, he walked past Neji and strode quickly toward the dojo.

Genma Shiranui and the others followed closely behind, quickly dispersing to subtly protect the dojo in the center.

Neji stood still, his gaze fixed on his father.

Hizashi looked at his son with a complicated expression, then gently shook his head.

Although neither of them said anything, Neji's heart sank suddenly.

He knew that something big had happened in the clan.

At the other end of the Hyuga clan's territory, in the room of the four elders.

Elder Hyuga's gaze swept over the Fourth Elder sitting opposite him, and then fell on the Second Elder who had just entered the room.

"you----"

"What exactly is that?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's face showed a look of doubt.

"Zong Lian, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

"snort!"

The elder snorted coldly, and the veins around his eyes bulged instantly.

Roll your eyes, open!

Stop pretending.

The First Elder looked at the Second Elder and said, "You are not Ryosuke at all!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder, who had been calm, froze instantly, his expression turning blank.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Elder's lips gradually parted, revealing an extremely strange smile.

"Hehehe————"

"Old man! As expected of the Hyuga clan's elder, his intuition is truly sharp."

The elder's eyes narrowed.

"It was you who did it!"

Just then, several Hyuga clansmen silently surrounded them from the shadows.

These people are all members of the Hyuga branch family.

But at this moment, their eyes were empty and lifeless, clearly indicating that they had lost their self-awareness.

"They actually controlled so many people—"

Seeing so many clansmen being controlled, the Grand Elder felt a deep pang of heartache, but it was quickly replaced by a resolute determination.

"Ignorant fool."

"No matter what kind of monsters you are, daring to run wild in the Hyuga clan is simply courting death!"

The Grand Elder formed a hand seal with one hand.

Caged Bird Seal, activated!

The next second, the Hyuga branch family ninjas who had surrounded them suddenly covered their foreheads in unison.

Ahhh! ! !

They clutched their foreheads in pain and fell heavily to the ground.

The Caged Bird Seal directly affects the soul and brain; this deep-seated pain cannot be completely shielded even by the spores of White Zetsu.

Seeing this, Hyuga White Zetsu (the fourth elder) was clearly stunned for a moment.

"oops----"

"We were so busy having fun that we completely forgot the Hyuga clan even had this thing."

Hyuga White Zetsu scratched his head, seemingly annoyed by his mistake.

However, before the Grand Elder could even breathe a sigh of relief...

"Well!"

The elder suddenly groaned and knelt on the ground in pain.

He was horrified to discover that his chakra was draining away at an alarming rate!

"What time is this?!"

Two clusters of white spores emerged from his back and shoulders.

The Island of Oblivion, in the laboratory.

Aoba picked up her original glasses, aimed them at the eye sockets, and pressed them directly into them.

The pale green light of the Palm Immortal Technique shone at his fingertips.

In less than a second, the optic nerve and blood vessels are perfectly connected.

"Phew—it's still more comfortable to use my own."

Aoba blinked and sighed.

Orochimaru, who was standing to the side, watched him with a smile and casually put the Rinnegan back into its container.

"Those are the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, Aoba-kun, aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"When power depends on an external object, once that object changes, disappears, or detaches, the power attached to it will dissipate."

"It's better not to use this kind of power that can be taken away by others at any time."

He was disgusted when he watched Boruto in his previous life.

Naruto lost the Nine-Tails, and Sasuke's Rinnegan was blinded by a kunai.

These two former strongest ninjas in the world instantly became nothing more than roadside trash.

He was relentlessly beaten down by a series of inexplicable new villains, with no chance to fight back.

That's utterly ridiculous!

That kind of power isn't power; it's more like a kind of "equipment."

True power belongs only to oneself.

The ability to create something new even if it is lost or taken away by outsiders is the true power that belongs to oneself.

Of course, Aoba does not deny the power brought by "equipment" or cheats.

Instead, it rejects the assumption that external physics is automatically their own achievement.

"As expected of Aoba-kun, I always get great ideas from talking to you."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face.

"Today's experiment really gave me a lot of inspiration."

"Since an ordinary body cannot withstand the power of the Rinnegan, then—"

"Perhaps I could try cloning a body with the bloodline of the Six Paths to conduct experiments."

Orochimaru had already begun to conceive new experimental plans in his mind.

"Do whatever you want."

"Oh right, I have to take Jugo with me."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback. "Aoba-kun is going to use that child?"

"Yes, I need his help with something."

"A White Zetsu capable of parasitizing Konoha needs to be dealt with using Jugo's Sage Body."

"Oh, a White Zetsu with special abilities? Do you need any help?"

"No need. I'm only dealing with the parasite problem; Konoha will handle the rest themselves."

There are lessons to be learned from how Zhuge Liang died and why the Shu Han state perished.

"If Tsunade finds out, you won't have a good life."

Aoba scoffed.

"These are things she should be worrying about, but now I'm the one doing them."

"By the way, how's your Sage Mode training going?"

"If my guess is correct, maintaining a sage-like state for an extended period of time can greatly extend one's lifespan."

This applies not only to summoned beasts, but also to humans.

"Almost there."

"The Sage Mode of the Three Great Holy Lands causes too much physical distortion. I have much more faith in your perfect Sage Mode method, Aoba-kun."

Aoba smiled.

"Then you'll have to wait a long time."

"I haven't even accumulated half of the natural power within me yet. To fully perfect humanity's own Sage Mode, I still need a lot of experimental data."

"I'm not in a hurry; there are still many topics that need to be studied."

"Speaking of which, that thing you asked me to research before—"

Orochimaru took a sealing scroll from the drawer and threw it to Aoba.

"I've almost figured out how to break the Death Seal."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at Aoba.

"Oh, have you found a way to avoid the ghouls?"

In the original storyline, Orochimaru escaped from the clutches of the Shiki through the Reanimation Jutsu.

I don't know what method to use now.

"Well, you'll see when the time comes."

"But are you going to all this trouble to revive Minato Namikaze?"

"Yes, the situation in the ninja world is going to become very troublesome."

"Although Obito is crippled, Black Zetsu will definitely cause even bigger trouble, and Madara Uchiha might even come back from the dead."

"We can't handle this on our own."

Aoba put the scroll into his ninja tool pouch.

"Yongdai is a top-notch working girl. It's such a waste to keep such a useful labor force in the belly of death."

We need him to come out and help.

Orochimaru was taken aback when he heard Aoba's self-righteous remarks about exploitation.

Then, Orochimaru let out a low laugh.

"Hehehe————"

"Being Aoba-kun's friend is truly an unfortunate thing."

Even in death, I can't find peace; you drag me out to keep me working.

"Tch, this is nothing. I plan to call out both the First and Second Hokage, otherwise Madara will be so lonely."

Orochimaru: ————

Myoboku Mountain, an ancient temple deep within.

A huge old toad wearing a necklace with the character "oil" on it slowly opened its eyes.

He is the Great Toad Immortal who has lived for over a thousand years, Toad Pill.

A toad with prophetic abilities.

They can see visions of the future in their dreams.

He spends more time sleeping than awake. "Sir, you're awake?"

-

Two smaller toads hopped over from the left and right; they were none other than Fukasaku and Shima.

"Sir, are you dreaming again?"

Gamamaru did not answer immediately, but slowly raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of confusion and fear.

"It's all in chaos—"

Everything's in chaos—

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The Great Toad Sage's prophecy is the foundation of Mount Myōboku's standing in the ninja world for a thousand years.

For a thousand years, many major events in the ninja world have been inseparable from Gamamaru's prophecies.

There are many kinds of summoning beasts in the ninja world, but most of them have disappeared into the long river of history for various reasons.

Just like the lizard clan of the past, without the intervention of Yamashiro Aoba, those lizards sleeping in the swamp might never have woken up again.

And Gamamaru is like the anchor of Mount Myōboku.

Relying on those intermittent dreams, he continuously gambled in the torrent of history, ensuring that Mount Myoboku always stood at the right juncture, thus developing into one of the three great holy sites today.

Gamamaru's most classic investment was turning Kaguya's two children against their own mother.

"Master, what exactly happened?" Master Shima couldn't help but ask.

Gamamaru took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"I once dreamed of a boy with bright blue eyes, laughing and calling out the name of the nine-headed beast. He would be the savior of this ninja world."

"That is the predetermined future of Mount Myōboku."

"But just now, that future—changed!"

The immortal gasped in shock.

"It's changed? How could this be? Has something happened to the Child of Prophecy?"

Gamamaru shook his head.

"No, the future has been forcibly reversed by some unknown force."

"In the new dream, I didn't see the laughing boy, nor did I see the nine-headed beast."

All I saw was a pair of eyes—

"Those were a pair of bright blue eyes that sparkled like stars!"

"Those eyes held a superior position, looking down upon the entire ninja world. Before those eyes, all destinies became a tangled mess!"

Fukasaku and Shima were completely stunned.

Azure eyes that shimmer with starlight?

What exactly is that thing?

It's incredible that it could instill such fear in the Great Toad Sage!

"Not only that—"

Gamamaru sighed again, his gaze turning towards the outside of the main hall.

"It seems there's a problem with Jiraiya too."

The immortal was startled.

"Jiraiya? What happened to him?"

As the ninja of this generation from Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya was tasked with finding the Child of Prophecy.

"have no idea----"

Because of the existence of the summoning contract scroll, the connection between Mount Myōboku and Jiraiya has always been maintained.

However, recently this connection has been frequently interrupted.

There is only one possibility that this can be achieved, except for the death of one party to the contract.

Someone used a sealing technique to forcibly block the perception of the contract!

"Some unexpected events have occurred in the ninja world that are beyond our control."

at the same time.

Within the Land of Hot Water, there is a hidden underground base.

The architectural style here is extremely unique; if Yamashiro Aoba were here, he would definitely recognize this place.

One of the ruins of an evil cult!

No one expected that this evil place, which should have been completely destroyed, actually had such a vast space hidden deep underground.

Deep within the base were rows of dark and damp prisons.

-

The prison houses many ordinary people.

Their eyes were empty; they had completely given up hope of living.

In the center of the hall stood a dark red altar.

Dark red liquid, not yet dried, flowed in the grooves around the altar, emitting a pungent, bloody odor.

At this moment, two figures were standing in front of the altar.

One is Danzo, the White Zetsu who was parasitized.

The other was an old man dressed in a black robe.

The old man's name was Disonas, and he was a mad researcher who specialized in studying forbidden techniques and other things that violated the laws of nature.

In the original work, he worked with Orochimaru to research and improve the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, creating a scroll that could erase the humanity of resurrected ninjas. He was a character who improved the Impure World Reincarnation technique a second time.

However, Orochimaru was intercepted by Aoba beforehand.

This resulted in Disonas not cooperating with Orochimaru.

Unexpectedly, Black Zetsu found it.

Two men dragged a man out of the prison.

Even if the person struggles desperately, it will be in vain.

He was left in the middle of the altar.

Disonas forms a hand seal.

Impure World Reincarnation!
