The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Hyuga Zechen casually pointed, and a light screen appeared, replaying the scene of Uchiha Itachi's surprise attack on Nagato, followed by Black Zetsu taking control.

"Uchiha Itachi, and Black Zetsu!"

Xiao Nan trembled all over with her fists clenched, oblivious even when her nail polished fingertips scratched her palms.

"Let me out! I must find Nagato!"

Once the light screen went out, Konan could no longer contain herself and stared intently at Hinata Sawatatsu.

"If you were to do it all by yourself, let alone find any trace of them, what could you possibly do even if you did?"

Seeing Hinata Sawatatsu shake his head in refusal, Konan wanted to say something, but felt her eyelids become incredibly heavy and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Hinata Sawatatsu was too lazy to waste words on a woman who was caught up in her emotions. The two maid puppets carried Konan back to the prison to calm her down.

After sitting in the hall and drinking two cups of hot tea, another figure appeared in the hall.

"Lord Zechen, what brings you here?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Where has the research on Experiment Subject One progressed?"

The so-called first experimental subject was naturally the original owner of this castle, Otsutsuki Toneri from the moon.

"It was a body with a near-perfect bloodline, not only born with five chakra natures, but also with unprecedented cellular vitality."

When talking about the various experimental data on Otsutsuki Toneri's cells, Kabuto's face showed a hint of fanaticism.

"What are the chances of success if another bloodline transplant is performed?"

Compared to the highly technical terms and descriptions used by the pharmacist, Hinata Sawatatsu was more concerned about the success rate of the transplant.

Perfection is only relative; compared to the real Otsutsuki clan, Toneri's bloodline is nothing.

The true Otsutsuki clan members are born with extremely powerful strength, do not need to train their chakra, have a lifespan of thousands of years, and can be resurrected through the "Karma" seal, which is beyond most people's imagination.

Even Hagoromo and Hamura only possessed part of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline. Not only were their iconic twin horns extremely short, but their lifespans were also far shorter than those of the true Otsutsuki clan. Furthermore, they did not master the power of the "Karma." Both brothers died of old age.

"Even for adults, the success rate is less than 20% at best."

Yakushi Kabuto's words made Hinata Sawatatsu frown.

A success rate of less than one-fifth is simply too low.

"I racked my brains and came up with a way to increase the success rate for adults, but I lack experimental materials."

Kabuto Yakushi naturally understood that such a low success rate could not satisfy Hinata Sawatatsu, so he rolled his eyes and spoke.

"explain."

Hyuga Sawatatsu looked at Yakushi Kabuto and could already smell the familiar scent.

Have they already started to harbor inappropriate thoughts and seek personal gain?

"I wonder if you still remember Shimura Danzo? If you give me his arm to study, I will soon have good news to tell you."

After observing Hyuga Sawatatsu's expression, Yakushi Kabuto continued.

"My lord, you may not know this, but Lord Orochimaru once had a very peculiar experimental subject. His constitution was very special, and he would not reject any tissue transplanted into his body. Danzo's arm, which had the First Hokage's cells and ten Sharingan eyes transplanted into it, was replicated using his cells."

Hinata Zechen stroked his chin, immediately grasping the key point.

"What was the name of that experimental subject?"

A strange light flashed in Kabuto's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"That person originally had no name or surname. He learned a lot about Itachi Uchiha from Lord Orochimaru, and then transplanted a large number of Sharingan into his body, and called himself Shin Uchiha."

Sure enough it was him.

A madman who, more than a decade after the Akatsuki was destroyed, still attempted to revive it.

"Is he still in Orochimaru's hands?"

Hyuga Sawatatsu looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a half-smile, which made Yakushi Kabuto feel uneasy.

"No, he has escaped the base with many clones and betrayed Lord Orochimaru."

Gritting his teeth, Kabuto Yakushi answered.

Chapter 161 Clones and Kaleidoscope

As soon as he said that, Kabuto immediately regretted it.

With an expressionless face, Hyuga Zetsu's calm gaze fell on Yakushi Kabuto's face. Even without releasing any chakra fluctuations, the immense pressure made Yakushi Kabuto feel breathless.

Kabuto Yakushi never felt this kind of pressure from Orochimaru.

"Isn't this your real purpose, Kabuto?"

As sweat trickled down his cheeks and gathered at his chin, Hinata Sawatatsu spoke softly, and the invisible pressure gradually decreased, allowing Yakushi Kabuto's held breathing to return to normal.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from the adults. I was just being too clever for my own good."

The pharmacist gave a wry smile.

Danzo had been dead for several months, and even though his body was still preserved, the cells in his arm had long since lost their activity, making them of very limited use for research.

But Shin Uchiha was Kabuto Yakushi's true target!

When Kabuto was sent to Orochimaru's side by Sasori, it was like leaping out of a deep well and seeing the vast world, successfully transforming from a frog at the bottom of the well into a snake.

After being semi-forced to work and conduct research for Hyuga Sawatatsu, Kabuto Yakushi once again opened a new door, venturing into areas that even Orochimaru had never ventured into.

Kabuto Yakushi's ability to rise from a commoner spy to become the mastermind behind the Fourth Shinobi World War stemmed from his exceptional skill in rapidly absorbing the strengths of others to equip himself with the best qualities.

Whether it's the Shikotsumyaku or the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, both are powerful forces that Hyuga Sawatatsu craves and covets. Naturally, Yakushi Kabuto also wants to transplant them into himself to enhance his own strength.

Although Hyuga Zetsu said he would send Yakushi Kabuto back to Orochimaru in a year, Yakushi Kabuto, who already knew so many of Hyuga Zetsu's secrets, did not believe that the other party would keep his promise and send him away.

Most importantly, how could Kabuto Yakushi bear to leave before witnessing the many amazing things about Hyuga Sawatatsu and learning more about the secrets of the Otsutsuki clan?

However, in order to prevent Hyuga Zetsu from betraying him after using him, Kabuto Yakushi naturally had to find a way to enhance his own strength. If he could obtain Uchiha Shin's cell tissue, many of Kabuto's plans would be realized.

"Give me his information, and you'll get what you want very soon."

Hinata Zetsu naturally understood that Kabuto Yakushi's request was bound to have its own ulterior motives, but as long as it could help Hinata Zetsu achieve his ultimate goal, the process was not important.

"Lord Orochimaru has always kept track of Shin Uchiha's general whereabouts. This is his location from a few months ago. Even if he has moved, he should still have left some clues."

Kabuto Yakushi handed over the prepared documents to Hinata Sawatatsu, a slight smile playing on his lips, clearly pleased with himself.

Soon, I will be able to rediscover the meaning of my existence!

-----------------

The Land of Snow is located in the northernmost part of the ninja world, near the polar regions. It experiences snow and ice for most of the year, and its land is covered in ice and snow year-round, creating an extremely cold environment even colder than the Land of Iron.

As a small country with its own ninja village, Yukigami Village is very small, with only a few Jonin in total.

However, the Snow Village naturally possesses its own unique characteristics to occupy a place in the ninja world. By taking advantage of the special environment of the Land of Snow, it not only created unique ice-style ninjutsu but also manufactured chakra armor to enhance the chakra reserves of ninjas. In addition, the environment of the Land of Snow is quite harsh, and few ninjas from other countries set foot there. Without external pressure, this led to a rebellion within the Land of Snow.

However, none of this mattered to Hyuga Sawatatsu. His sole purpose in coming to the Land of Snow was to capture Uchiha Shin.

It should be around here.

After surveying his surroundings, Hinata Zechen's eyes bulged with veins as he searched for any suspicious traces.

found it!

Beneath two peculiar mountain peaks shaped like bull horns lies an extremely deep cave, the very lair of Uchiha Shin.

Hinata Sawatatsu descended from the sky without concealing his presence, and was quickly discovered by others.

Is this Shin Uchiha's clone?

Three clones, each less than 1.3 meters tall, looked exactly alike. They all had short, white hair combed back and wore simple white shirts. They were not afraid of the cold environment around them. On their backs were the Uchiha clan's fan crest. They held giant shuriken nearly a meter long and leaped down from the ice peak, quickly closing the distance with Hyuga Zechen.

"Father's orders: Eliminate all intruders who approach this place!"

When the distance between the two sides closed to less than ten feet, the eyes of these clones of Uchiha Shin all activated the crimson three-tomoe Sharingan. Their rather cute appearances were cold and ruthless, and no human emotions could be found in them.

A kunai slipped from his long sleeve, and Hyuga Zechen's speed increased dramatically. Facing the attacks of the three clones of Uchiha Shin, he either parried with kunai or dodged the attacks of the opponent's giant shuriken. For a time, the battle was fierce.

Is a clone really just a clone, unable to unleash the power of the three-tomoe Sharingan?

After a dozen or so moves, Hyuga Zechen had a general understanding of the fighting power of these clones of Uchiha Shin.

Aside from barely managing to utilize the Sharingan's perception, these clones of Shin Uchiha had a pitifully low level of development in the three-tomoe Sharingan. Apart from a few simple taijutsu moves, they had no other means, which greatly disappointed Hyuga Zechen.

"If it's just this level of attack, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop me any longer."

Hyuga Zechen didn't even activate the Tenseigan Chakra Mode. The speed and power of the kunai in his hand instantly increased. After three loud bangs, the giant shuriken in the hands of these clones of Uchiha Shin were split in two, and his entire body flew backward, leaving three long trails on the snow.

"Father's order: Eliminate the enemy!"

Despite suffering serious injuries, the clones of Shin Uchiha still managed to stand up and charged at Hyuga Zetsu once again.

"I don't have time to play with the kids anymore."

Hinata Zechen smiled faintly, his Byakugan trembled slightly, and a mental fluctuation carrying the power of the Byakugan was released.

Snapped!

Shin Uchiha, who was halfway forward, was immediately controlled by the genjutsu. His body continued to lean forward due to inertia and fell directly onto the snow.

Ok?

Just as Hinata Zechen was about to leap over them, he saw the clone Uchiha Shin, who had just been controlled by the genjutsu, standing up unsteadily. His Sharingan, which had just been three tomoe, had now become a solid black circle, clearly indicating that he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

With the help of the Mangekyou Sharingan, you successfully broke my genjutsu?

Compared to Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, the ocular power of these cloned Mangekyou Sharingan is pitifully low.

"Get rid of it! Get rid of it!"

The three clones of Uchiha Shin shouted in unison, and then a multitude of shuriken fragments fell to the ground with a loud crash, rising into the air without being touched, and shooting towards Hyuga Zechen from different directions.

Chapter 162 Capture Successful

Is this Shin Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique?

Hinata Zetsu's eyes flashed with azure light as he activated the Tenseigan.
