The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Hinata Zechen took out a scroll, placed it on the table, and then slowly opened it.

A cloud of white mist rose up, and the Kazekage hat that Mifune had cut off from Pain appeared in front of the two.

Compared to Gaara's slightly excited expression, Sasori's eyes remained calm and still throughout, only lingering on the bloodstains on his hat for a second before standing up from his chair.

"Another Kage from Sunagakure has died? Good riddance! But what does this have to do with me?"

After leaving a single, indifferent remark, Scorpion turned and left without hesitation.

After all, the Third Kazekage was killed by Sasori himself, and even his corpse was turned into a human puppet; while the Fourth Kazekage died at Orochimaru's hands, it was because Sasori deliberately revealed the Kazekage's whereabouts to Orochimaru.

In Sasori's mind, the tragedy of his parents' deaths was all due to the Kazekage's incompetence in protecting the village's ninja. No matter how many Kazekage died, he would only applaud.

"In order to deal with the Akatsuki, the Five Kage Conference was held in the Land of Iron. As the acting Kazekage of Sunagakure, Granny Chiyo returned to the secular world, only to be ambushed and killed by the Akatsuki."

When Sasori heard Granny Chiyo's name, he froze at the gate, his raised right leg hesitant to step out.

As expected, Sasori still cared deeply for Granny Chiyo, his only remaining family member. Otherwise, he wouldn't have held back so much in the fight, and ultimately willingly died at the hands of his father and mother, becoming the first Akatsuki member to fall from grace.

Who did it?

Scorpion's voice came, seemingly unchanged from before.

"It's Payne."

After hearing Hinata Zechen's answer, Sasori took the final step and left the hall.

"Could you please tell me about what's been happening in the ninja world lately?"

Instead of questioning Hyuga Sawatatsu about why he had trapped him in the castle, Gaara inquired about what had happened in the ninja world.

"can."

Hinata Sawatatsu put down his teacup and smiled.

Chapter 132 Minato Namikaze

A series of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, this is an urgent communication from the Land of Wind."

Shizune hurriedly entered the office with a scroll in her hand and handed the intelligence scroll to Tsunade.

"The Sand Village has fallen to this level, and they still expect us to abide by the alliance agreement and send people to hunt down rogue ninja? Don't they know that Konoha's focus right now is to organize manpower to completely wipe out the Akatsuki? It's ridiculous!"

After glancing through the contents of the intelligence report, Tsunade slammed her hand on the table in a fit of frustration, then casually tossed the scroll onto the ground.

"Lord Hokage, should I reply to them and refuse?"

Silently picked up the scroll from the ground and smoothed out the wrinkles.

"No, the dragon vein beneath the ancient Loulan Kingdom contains an unimaginable amount of chakra. If it falls into the hands of a rogue ninja, it could pose a great risk."

Tsunade's face was very ugly, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the Sand Village's attempt to shift the blame.

Walking to the six-tiered bookshelf next to her, Tsunade searched for a while on the top shelf and pulled out a long-forgotten document.

Minato Namikaze.

The signature on the document bag has become somewhat blurred due to the passage of time.

"Send the information about Sunagakure and this data to Hyuga Sawatatsu, and then issue him an S-rank mission."

Shizune nodded, clutched the mission scroll and documents to her chest, and hurriedly left the Hokage's office.

Boom!

A massive bolt of lightning flashed across the sky above Konoha Village, which was shrouded in dark clouds, illuminating the dimly lit Hokage's office with dazzling light.

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

"Going to hunt down rogue ninja from Sunagakure, and it's an S-rank mission?"

Inside the Hyuga clan's courtyard, Hyuga Zechen stared at Shizune before him, confirming her identity with a blank expression.

"Yes... it is, Hinata Shinobu."

Although Hinata Zetsu didn't reveal any chakra pressure, an invisible pressure fell on Shizune.

After taking the mission scroll from Shizune, Hinata Zechen browsed through its contents while pondering what reason to give for refusing.

Did the ancient Loulan Kingdom also possess a dragon vein?

Before Hinata Zechen could come up with a reasonable excuse, the description in the intelligence report piqued his interest.

Whether the Dragon Vein possesses inexhaustible chakra is unimportant to Hyuga Zetsu. The only thing that truly interests him is that the Dragon Vein can open a passage to reverse time.

If Hyuga Zetsu were to travel back in time and change history, what kind of changes would it bring to the ninja world?

"I will select suitable genin and then set off for the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom as soon as possible."

Hinata Zechen put away the intelligence scroll in his hand and spoke.

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

"Brother Zechen, this seems to be the first time I've gone on a mission with you."

In the forest of the Land of Fire, Hinata was jumping from branch to branch beside Hyuga Sawatatsu, clearly very excited.

"Hinata's strength has surpassed that of many Chunin. This mission depends entirely on your performance."

Hinata Zechen smiled and offered words of encouragement.

"Yes, I will definitely try my best."

Hinata raised her head, revealing her long, fair neck, her eyes filled with determination.

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

"Gentle Fist - Bagua Empty Palm!"

Hinata, with bulging veins near her eyes, pushed her palm forward with all her might, her palm concave.

A peculiar puppet, whose main body resembled a sphere and extended two long, sharp claws, was struck by the incoming chakra shockwave and shattered into pieces.

"hateful!"

A gaunt man, wearing only a thin shirt, leaped out from the nearby cover and rushed towards the huge cave in the center of the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom without looking back.

"Traitorous wretch!"

Upon seeing the target hiding behind her appear, Hinata let out a low shout, intending to strike and knock the opponent down.

"Hinata, don't worry, let's follow them."

Hinata Tatsumi grabbed Hinata's wrist and followed her at a leisurely pace.

Although he knew that the dragon vein was the key to opening the space-time channel, Hinata Sawatatsu did not want to try it himself in terms of how to do it.

Even the centipede in front of us most likely didn't know that it would open a time-space portal; it was more a result of chance.

"it is good."

Although she didn't know what Hinata Sawatatsu's purpose was, Hinata obediently didn't ask any further questions.

Holding Hinata's slender waist, Hyuga Zechen slowly flew down into the depths of the dark cave, and soon arrived at a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall stands a huge altar, and in the corner stand four two-meter-tall stone statues, whose attire suggests they are people from the long-extinct Loulan Kingdom.

In the center of the altar, a peculiar kunai was stuck in the ground, surrounded by a dense array of sealing spells that completely covered the ground.

"Although you are powerful, as long as I infuse the power of this dragon vein into my puppetry technique, neither the Five Great Nations nor the Akatsuki can stop my puppet army! The entire world will be at my command!"

Looking at the centipede standing atop the altar, seemingly a bit deranged, Hinata Sawa was speechless.

Another incompetent villain.

Don't you know that in the time you've been shouting, I could have killed you a hundred or two hundred times over?

"I have been researching for more than ten years and finally figured out this secret method that can also absorb the sealing technique."

The centipede squatted on the altar and slowly began to form hand seals, then pressed its palms firmly against the altar.

First, a dazzling purple light rose up, then formed a towering pillar of light that enveloped the entire altar. The ground began to shake violently, as if some enormous creature was about to break free from the depths of the earth.

The spells on the ground emitted a faint blue light, attempting to prevent the dragon vein from awakening.

However, when the dazzling purple light spread to the surface of the spell, everything began to fall apart.

"I can already feel the immense power of the dragon vein!"

The centipede, its body covered in countless purple patterns, gripped the Flying Thunder God kunai on the altar with both hands and pulled it out little by little with immense difficulty.

"Let's go, let's go over there!"

The opportunity to distort spacetime was fleeting. Hinata Zechen, who had been watching from afar, picked up Hinata and flashed to the altar.

The centipede who had successfully pulled out the kunai felt a blur before his eyes, and there were two figures wrapped in green chakra in front of him.

"Haha, you're too late!"

An indescribably brilliant purple beam of light shot into the sky, and the surging chakra instantly destroyed the altar and spread in all directions at an astonishing speed, causing the entire hall to collapse wherever it went.

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

When Hinata regained consciousness, she found herself being held in Hyuga Sawatatsu's arms.

"Where is this place?"

Hinata, her face slightly flushed, did not struggle. Instead, she turned her head and looked around, immediately shocked by the scene before her.

Looking around, it is a huge city where forests and towers stand side by side, and any tower is at least ten stories high.

Strangely, the entire city was deserted, so quiet it was chilling.

Just as Hinata was looking around, a black insect the size of a finger flew out of the forest and landed not far away, clearly observing the two uninvited guests.

The next moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and a man with golden hair, wearing a Konoha headband, appeared in front of the two in a flash.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

Chapter 133 Minato, You Died Young

Compared to Hyuga Zechen, who recognized the famous Fourth Hokage at a glance, Hinata was clearly a step slower, her gaze sweeping over Namikaze Minato's headband and Jonin vest before settling on his face.
