Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan, taking over Team 7

Suddenly, Heitu raised the intelligence report and shouted:

"Yay!! Hahaha! He's alright! He's alright!!"

She even picked up Onoki and spun him around: "Sougetsu is alright! He even defeated the enemy! He defeated the Four-Tails!!"

Onoki couldn't help but feel jealous. How long ago was it that his beloved granddaughter used to praise him like that? Now the object of her affections had become another man. Onoki couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.

Yunyin Village.

After learning that Hinata Sogetsu was alright, Samui and Yukito arranged to have a meal together to celebrate.

Sand Hidden Village.

Maki, the new Kazekage of Sunagakure, is looking at the intelligence on the long table with a group of elders.

Unlike everyone else's excitement, Machi and the elders had extremely solemn expressions.

"This Hyuga Sogetsu is ridiculously strong, isn't he?" an elder couldn't help but say.

The other elders were also horrified when they saw the intelligence report.

What about splitting a mountain hundreds of meters high in half with a single sword strike, cutting down four tails with one strike, repelling enemies with one strike, and dyeing the sky red with one strike...?

Each sword strike, if not for intelligence corroborated by several spy ninjas...

They all thought it was some irresponsible spy who handed over some third-rate novel!

If this is true, then Hyuga Sogetsu's strength has far exceeded their expectations.

boom!

Maki couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, his one exposed eye turning fiercely behind him:

"Is this what you promised me: to kill the Hokage and destroy Konoha?!"

From the darkness behind Maki emerged a person wearing a spiral mask; this person was none other than Obito!

"You even left the Four-Tails there! How can we, the Sand Village, trust you?!" Maki said with a look of dissatisfaction.

The elders were the same, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction as they looked at Obito.

That's right, Sunagakure and Obito Uchiha have reached some kind of deal.

This attack on Konoha,

The stated reason is that Nagato seeks revenge for losing Konan.

But the deeper reason is that Obito and Zetsu fought a battle that resembled a pledge of allegiance after cooperating with Sunagakure.

Their plan was simply to flex their muscles in front of Sunagakure. They had a perfectly good plan: to lure Hyuga Sogetsu away using a diversionary tactic.

Then they wreaked havoc on Konoha Village and killed the Fifth Hokage.

This was done to gain the trust of Sunagakure and significantly weaken Konoha's strength, thereby elevating Sunagakure's status.

Unexpectedly, Hyuga Sogetsu returned to Konoha much faster than they had anticipated.

Hyuga Sogetsu's strength far exceeded expectations.

He, Zetsu, and Nagato hadn't expected that Hyuga Sogetsu would be able to directly confront a Tailed Beast and be completely unafraid of the Six Paths of Pain.

And they wiped them all out!

This also caused Nagato to begin to doubt the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan for the first time.

Is that damned Uchiha Madara really any better than Hyuga Sogetsu?!

Even Obito, who was originally unwavering in his resolve, felt a little apprehensive.

But when facing Sunagakure, he still had to pretend to be in control.

"Are you in a hurry? Their losses are considerable, while our Akatsuki suffered no casualties. I think that's a victory in itself," Obito said calmly.

Maki listened to Obito's words and didn't argue further.

However, this is indeed the case; Konoha suffered many losses, including the iconic Hokage Rock.

And this so-called Akatsuki organization didn't suffer any losses either; the Four-Tails they lost also belonged to Iwagakure.

From this perspective, it's having some effect; at least in the near future, the workload in Konoha will definitely decrease.

Conversely, the workload of Sunagakure will increase, which will improve their finances.

Maki continued looking at the report: "While it's done well, you haven't quite fulfilled your promises, have you?"

Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated from Obito's body.

The conference table suddenly began to shake, and the lights in the conference room flickered on and off.

"Lord Kazekage, I remember that we only have a cooperative relationship, right?" Obito asked in a deep, hoarse voice.

Maki cleared his throat awkwardly, and the elders around him also showed some unease.

Obito was extremely depressed. If it were when Akatsuki was at its peak, Sunagakure could have been wiped out with a flick of the wrist.

This so-called cooperative relationship is really frustrating for him.

However, in modern times, Obito also needs to utilize Sunagakure.

Obito asked, "How's the research I assigned to you going?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Maki's eyes: "The progress is going quite smoothly, especially with Mr. Kabuto from your organization. With his help, the research is progressing very quickly!"

Obito nodded: "That's good."

That's right, not long after Orochimaru's death, Kabuto was recruited by the Akatsuki organization, which was desperately short of manpower.

They reasoned that since Orochimaru could create something like the Impure World Reincarnation, Kabuto Yakushi, as Orochimaru's assistant, must also be able to conduct similar research.

Subsequently, the Akatsuki organization approached Sunagakure, a village that had recently declined significantly in the ninja world and was showing signs of potentially breaking away from the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The previous Konoha Crush plan not only caused Sunagakure to lose a large number of ninjas, but also the One-Tailed Beast.

Furthermore, since the other ninja villages all seemed to have good relations with Hyuga Sogetsu, Sunagakure suddenly felt isolated and helpless.

In order to survive in adversity and maintain their status, Sunagakure chose to accept the offer from Akatsuki.

Of course, this was only known among the higher-ups; the common people were unaware that their own shadow had already colluded with an evil organization.

The cooperation between Sunagakure and Akatsuki mainly involved providing Akatsuki with funds, experimental sites, and conducting various research projects, including the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The Akatsuki organization, on the other hand, shares its research and, when necessary, can do some unsavory things for Sunagakure.

Both parties kept their cooperation very secret.

No one knew that Sunagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, would be involved with Akatsuki, the public enemy of the ninja world.

……

In the past few days, the entire ninja world has become much more peaceful than before.

Those damn Akatsuki members have stopped jumping around, and there's been no more news of tailed beasts being captured.

Hyuga Sogetsu didn't care at all. Now that Nagato wasn't going to cause trouble, he would just have to properly train his disciples.

The battle a few days ago exposed the weaknesses of all three.

What Naruto lacks is a killing move like the Rasenshuriken, but Hyuga Sogetsu had already wanted to teach him the Great Rasengan Rinnegan, so this is just a matter of bringing it forward.

As for Sasuke, the problem is that he has too little chakra. Being so young, he doesn't have enough chakra to support his Mangekyou Sharingan.

In response, Hyuga Sogetsu's solution was...

Train really hard!

The amount of chakra is nothing more than a combination of mental and physical qualities.

Hyuga Sogetsu increased Rock Lee's training volume tenfold and then gave it to Sasuke.

Sasuke respected Hyuga Sogetsu from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally didn't say anything and started training without any effort.

As for Sakura, her weakness is also very obvious. She doesn't have any ranged attack methods, a weakness that was particularly exposed when fighting Pain and his allies.

Despite his formidable martial prowess, he was nearly killed by a kite-flying Pain, a truly humiliating experience.

Since Sakura has mastered both Light Rock and Heavy Rock techniques, her Earth Release skills are actually quite good.

Therefore, Hyuga Sogetsu's idea was very simple: to directly teach Sakura how to use Dust Release!

As for Dust Release being a Kekkei Tota that requires the three chakra natures of earth, fire, and wind to activate...

Has Hyuga Sogetsu's years of meticulous "irrigation" been completely useless?!

Soon, thanks to her excellent chakra quality and chakra control, Sakura was able to unleash simple Wind Release and Fire Release techniques.

With this, and under my careful guidance, mastering Dust Escape should be just around the corner.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Hyuga Sogetsu's ear.

[Master-Disciple Mission: Teach Naruto the Great Rasengan, double Sasuke's chakra, and teach Sakura Haruno the Dust Release.]

[Task Reward: Boundless Void]

[Task deadline: Six months.]

Another mission... I haven't even finished my last one yet.

Apart from Naruto obtaining a dragon-patterned sword, neither Naruto nor Sakura has yet acquired their own weapon.

Although the system didn't specify what kind of weapon was required, it certainly wouldn't be an ordinary one.

Hyuga Sogetsu quickly came up with an idea.

He called out to Sakura, who was struggling to breathe fire not far away: "Stop practicing for now, come here first."

"What's wrong, Teacher Cangyue?"

"As promised, each of you will have your own weapon..."

Upon hearing this, Sakura almost jumped up: "Really?! Thank you, teacher!"

"Can I ask what kind of weapon it is?!"

Sakura's mind was immediately filled with the image of Hyuga Sogetsu's Ryujin Jakka. She wondered if it would be that cool!

Hinata Sogetsu, with a candy in her mouth, said, "Oh, your weapon? It's a stick that can extend or retract at will~"

Hearing this, Sakura immediately understood: "Teacher Cangyue, this isn't funny!"

Hyuga Sogetsu looked at Sakura seriously: "Who told you I was joking?"

Sakura immediately took two steps back, her face turning bright red: "T-Teacher, how could you give me something like that... You, you're harassing me!"

Even though she said that, Sakura's heart immediately started itching.

Why did Teacher Cangyue give her that kind of thing?

Could it be that he's hinting at something?! Thinking this, Sakura changed the subject:

"If you insist on giving it to me, then I'll accept it..."

Sakura, you really are a wanton woman! Sakura cursed herself inwardly.

Seeing Sakura's blushing face, Hinata Sogetsu didn't bother to explain and pulled Sakura out of the training ground.

Then, Hinata Sogetsu, with a bewildered Sakura in tow, knocked on the door of a large house.

The door opened, and the unshaven Asuma poked his head out. When he saw it was Hyuga Sogetsu...

With a bang, Asuma slammed the door shut.

Just as Hyuga Sogetsu was about to smash the door down with a single punch to teach Asuma a lesson,

He then heard a voice talking to itself coming from inside the door:

"Did I open the door wrong...?"

It's no wonder Asuma did this; this was the first time in many years that Hyuga Sogetsu had visited Asuma's home.

With a creak, Asuma opened the door again, and before Asuma could say anything, Hyuga Sogetsu pulled Sakura inside.

"So, Sogetsu!" Asuma's face was panicked, as if he was afraid that Hyuga Sogetsu would discover something.

Hyuga Sogetsu opened Asuma's room door without any hesitation.

At first glance, several erotic magazines were scattered on the tatami mat, and there was a puddle of indescribable liquid on the magazines.

Sakura gave Asuma a disdainful look: "Ew~ perverted old man..." and then hid behind Hinata Sogetsu.
