The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

As Jiraiya placed his hand on Mitokado Homura's shoulder, an astonishing scene unfolded the next moment.

A pure white fleshy ball suddenly emerged from Mitokado Yan's body, wriggling and transforming into a humanoid creature with only half a face and green hair.

White Zetsu!

The Four Symbols Seal in Chapter 61

As the White Zetsu clone, with its normal height and only half a face and one hand, slowly detached from Mitokado Homura's body, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Even though White Zetsu has appeared in front of everyone in a strange way, if they close their eyes, they will still perceive White Zetsu as part of Mitokado Homura in their mental perception, and even their chakra aura is exactly the same.

"Damn it, how did you manage to find me?"

The white Zetsu clone lay on the ground, raising its head with a puzzled expression, wanting to know the answer from Hyuga Zetsu.

In order to gather intelligence on Hyuga Zetsu, the Akatsuki sent many White Zetsu clones to infiltrate Konoha and possess different ninjas to collect information.

As one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, and whose strength was declining due to old age, Mitokado Homura naturally became the target of the White Zetsu clone's possession.

"Although you concealed your presence very well, I just fought Danzo who had received Hashirama's cells, which is why I was able to detect your presence."

The Konoha Jonin, who were still speculating about the origins of the White Zetsu, compared Danzo's pale half-body with the White Zetsu clone and indeed noticed many similar features.

Could it be, as Hyuga Sawatatsu said, that Danzo and Mitokado Homura did not hesitate to fuse such a monster within their bodies in order to obtain the Wood Release of the First Hokage?

"I'm asking you, was it you who gave the order for Itachi Uchiha to wipe out my clan?"

The appearance of White Zetsu attracted most people's attention, but Sasuke Uchiha was more concerned about the truth of the massacre of his clan.

Taking advantage of Kakashi's distraction, Sasuke broke free from his restraints and stood in front of Danzo, asking loudly.

"That's right, I was the one who stole Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, and I was the one who ordered Uchiha Itachi to annihilate the Uchiha clan."

Danzo lowered his head, spoke calmly, and uttered words that made Sasuke glare and grit his teeth in anger.

"Why? Tell me why?"

Sasuke, feeling incredibly close to the truth, was deeply shocked. His pupils widened suddenly, and as his Sharingan spun wildly, a new tomoe appeared faintly.

"The Uchiha clan is a cursed, inherently evil clan. For the sake of the village's peace, they should naturally be completely eradicated!"

When Danzo uttered the words "born evil," his tone clearly wavered, and he blurted them out without thinking.

"You bastard!"

Enraged, Uchiha Sasuke threw a punch without thinking, landing heavily on Danzo's face.

"Watch out, the illusion on him has worn off..."

A hint of joy flashed deep in Hinata Zechen's eyes as he spoke, offering a reminder.

Danzo, who had been punched and rolled several times on the ground before stopping, had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up, glanced around, and then suddenly ripped open his torn clothes.

"The organization's secrets must not be revealed; you must not be allowed to live!"

Black horizontal lines appeared on Danzo's body, and black blood gushed out from all parts of his body like a fountain.

"Be careful! This is the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique! Everyone, get out of here immediately!"

Jiraiya's pupils constricted as he shouted loudly.

The Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique?

The Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique is a powerful sealing technique that absorbs the enemy into one's own corpse and seals them away. It can only be activated before death if the technique is inscribed in the body beforehand, and it is a powerful sealing technique that will inevitably lead one to the underworld together with the enemy.

Once activated, the sealing technique cannot be stopped. The caster's blood will be expelled, carrying all people and objects that come into contact with it to the underworld, thus completing the complete seal.

Everyone present was horrified and turned to shoot off in different directions, trying to escape the seal's range.

However, the seal expanded much faster than anyone imagined. The black stripes engraved on Danzo's body appeared in mid-air, and black blood sprayed wildly from Danzo's chest, forming an enormous sphere that encompassed everything in all directions.

Apart from Jiraiya who grabbed Sasuke and Naruto, and some Jonin who were further away, more than half of the Jonin were still within the range of the sealing jutsu.

As the architect, Hyuga Sawatatsu, who appeared dozens of feet away after opening the spatial passage, pushed out a palm towards Danzo from afar.

Tenseigan - Repulsion Control!

The immense repulsive force formed an invisible trajectory, instantly penetrating the black, semi-transparent circular light shield formed by the seal, and unleashing an irresistible force that struck Danzo, sending his entire body into the air.

Immediately, the sprayed black blood formed a huge light shield, more than ten feet long, centered on Danzo. It then began to collapse and shrink, absorbing everything around Danzo into his body.

The seal lasted for several breaths before abruptly ending, leaving only Danzo's corpse falling from the height.

so close!

As Danzo's body fell to the ground, everyone had the same thought.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing that Hyuga Zechen was panting heavily, and that his azure eyes had reverted to their Byakugan form, Jiraiya put down Naruto and Sasuke, whom he was carrying, and asked with concern.

If Hyuga Sawa hadn't just sent Danzo into the air, at least half of the Konoha Jonin present would have been unable to escape the range of the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique, leaving Jiraiya with lingering fear.

"It's nothing, it's just that my chakra was used up a bit..."

Hinata Sawatatsu shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

In fact, this was more of a cover-up; Hinata Sawatatsu was not as weak as he appeared.

"Oh no, that strange thing is gone..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Konoha Jonin dodged the seal, the White Zetsu, lying on the ground, finally broke free from the influence of Jiraiya's Sage Mode chakra and merged into the depths of the earth without any hindrance in front of everyone.

"What exactly is that thing?"

Jiraiya grabbed the still-shaken Mitokado Homura and demanded an explanation.

"I don't know either..."

Mitokado Yan shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Jiraiya stared intently at Mitokado Homura for a long time but couldn't detect anything unusual, which forced him to loosen his grip on Homura's collar.

Oh, and those Danzo's subordinates...

Jiraiya turned around and saw that the Root members were kneeling in unison before Hyuga Sawatatsu.

These killing machines, trained by Danzo, have actually switched sides and are now under the command of Hyuga Sawatatsu.

There are probably many secrets hidden behind this, and it's definitely not as simple as Hinata Sawatatsu said...

Forget it, let Tsunade worry about these things.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Jiraiya couldn't help but make a self-deprecating remark to himself.

I'm definitely not cut out to be Hokage.

"Inoichi, those Sand Ninja corpses are yours to handle. Make sure you extract as much information as possible from their memories, and find out why the Sand Village betrayed Konoha and why they returned and reappeared here..."

Danzo is dead. To verify Hyuga Sawatatsu's words, we can only look to the memories of the Sand Village ninja, which is precisely the expertise of Yamanaka Inoichi.

"Yes, Jiraiya-sama."

Yamanaka Inoichi responded and took out a storage scroll to put all the Sand Ninja corpses scattered on the ground into it.

"Please keep what happened tonight a secret..."

Jiraiya was only halfway through his sentence when he remembered the escaped White Zetsu clone and immediately stopped talking.

Forget it, I'm tired. Let's just destroy it.

Everyone dispersed, preoccupied with their own thoughts, leaving only Jiraiya standing there expressionless.

Hinata Sawatatsu himself is incredibly powerful, and he has the support of the puppet army and the remnants of Root. What if he harbors ill intentions towards the village?

Chapter 62 Hinata's Thoughts: The Filial Son Returns to the Village

"Ze Chen, do you have designs on the Hokage position?"

The first words spoken upon returning to the Hyuga clan's territory left Hyuga Zetsu, who had activated his Tenseigan and was searching for traces of White Zetsu nearby, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Hinata Zechen had originally thought that Hiashi would be eager to ask about the Tenseigan, but he didn't expect him to say something like that.

That makes sense. The Hyuga clan is one of the oldest and most prestigious clans in Konoha. Just as the Uchiha clan has the ambition to become Hokage, the Hyuga clan will likely have the same.

However, compared to the Uchiha, the Hyuga clan is more self-aware, knowing that they have no outstanding members, so they can only hide their thoughts and become staunch supporters of the Naruto system.

Now that Hyuga Zetsu has suddenly appeared, it has naturally rekindled the Hyuga clan's obsession with the Hokage position.

"As long as you aspire to the Hokage position, the entire clan will fully support you!"

Seeing that Hyuga Zechen did not respond immediately, Hyuga Hiashi's expression turned somewhat fanatical as he urged him on again.

"Now is not the time; it is almost impossible unless a coup d'état is staged."

Hyuga Zechen shook his head, rejecting Hyuga Hiashi's suggestion.

Compared to the Sand Village, which didn't have many options and had Gaara succeed as the Fifth Kazekage at the age of 15, Konoha placed more emphasis on seniority and the lineage of the Hokage position.

Even Naruto Uzumaki, the future savior of the ninja world, despite his immense prestige and Six Paths-level strength, couldn't directly assume the Hokage position after sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki. Instead, Kakashi was allowed to serve as a stepping stone for a few years before Naruto took over as the Seventh Hokage. This speaks volumes.

Most importantly, Hyuga Sawatatsu was not a native of the area and did not have any bias towards the Hokage position.

As long as I continue to improve my strength, I will eventually surpass the Six Paths level. At that point, wouldn't becoming Hokage be a matter of consensus with just a few words?

"Ok."

Seeing that Hyuga Zechen refused, Hyuga Hiashi felt a little disappointed and lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Hinata Zechen got up and walked towards the courtyard where the main family was located. As soon as he entered, he saw Hinata running towards him.

He opened his arms and caught the soft, delicate body that had thrown into his embrace. Hinata Zechen immediately and clearly felt Hinata's size, which was not commensurate with her age.

"It's alright now, it's all over..."

He held Hinata in his arms and comforted her for a long time before calming her unease and guilt.

If it weren't for Brother Zechen's prior preparations, I would definitely have become a hostage held by the bad guys to blackmail Brother Zechen.

Hinata Hyuga, you must work hard to keep up with your brother Ze Chen, instead of becoming a burden.

Feeling the warmth of Hinata Zechen's embrace, Hinata gripped his clothes tightly with both hands, her face showing an unprecedented determination.
