The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

That makeup technique is definitely comparable to ninjutsu!

When Uzumaki Kushina dressed up and appeared in front of Souji again, if he didn't know her true identity, he would probably have thought that the person in front of him was a stranger.

Her pretty face was covered up, her long red hair that had been hanging down had been tied up, there were freckles on her face, and she was wearing clothes made of ordinary fabric.

At first glance, she really looks no different from a farm woman in her thirties.

Even Cang Si could hardly recognize him for a moment, let alone the others.

Just like that, a few days later, there was another small vendor outside Konoha Village.

The Anbu only did a superficial investigation, and after knowing that this was Hinata Souji's industry, they did not follow up any further.

And Uzumaki Kushina started running such an inconspicuous little tea stall.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether Uzumaki Kushina is there or not, Souji will replenish the stock regularly.

Even if this tea stall is making a loss every day, for Cang Si, the loss is just a drop in the bucket.

Now, Uzumaki Kushina’s main task is to quickly familiarize herself with the power of the dragon vein.

As for when Cang Si would bring Naruto out to meet her, the time had already been decided.

It was on the night before Naruto entered the Ninja School that the mother and son met. This could be considered as the entrance gift that Souji gave to Naruto.

Even though his mom might not be able to go to school with him, it was still okay for her to watch Naruto.

In order to wait for that day to come, Uzumaki Kushina is also trying hard to familiarize herself with this strange power in her body.

It is no exaggeration to say that the power of the dragon vein is absolutely superior to that of the other eight tailed beasts except the nine-tailed beast.

Even compared to the complete Nine-Tailed Fox, the power of the dragon vein is not necessarily inferior.

These are two equally powerful forces, manifesting themselves in different aspects.

This gentler power was not difficult to master for Uzumaki Kushina, who was familiar with the Nine-Tails' violent chakra.

She was already proficient in sealing techniques, and before long, she was able to mobilize the power of the dragon veins.

In the past, Uzumaki Kushina, before she borrowed the power of the Nine-Tails, was just an elite jonin in her normal strength.

But now it’s different. The dragon vein can not only become her strength, but also strengthen her body in all aspects.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Uzumaki Kushina completely controls the dragon vein, her normal strength will be able to reach the Kage level!

Because, with the dragon vein entering her body, Uzumaki Kushina's normal state is considered an alternative Sage Mode.

After all, the dragon vein itself is the concentration of the earth's natural energy!

This means that Uzumaki Kushina, who is the dragon vein jinchūriki, has her body strengthened by the dragon vein every moment.

To put it bluntly, even if Uzumaki Kushina cannot control the power of the dragon veins, just accepting the increase brought by the dragon veins will allow her strength to reach the level of Kage in the future.

It can be said that the upper limit of the Ryūmai Jinchūriki is not much weaker than the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki!

Moreover, it is more suitable for human control!

The power of the Nine-Tailed Fox is too violent, and it is also influenced by the Nine-Tailed Fox itself.

Once the Jinchūriki's will is too weak, before he becomes a perfect Jinchūriki, he can easily be controlled by the Nine-Tails.

Dragon veins have no such shortcomings at all.

The dragon vein, which only has the consciousness of a newborn baby, is simply incapable of turning the tables.

So, more often than not, the dragon veins are just a powerful force for people to use.

But the Nine-Tailed Fox has an independent consciousness!

Of course, if the Nine-Tails is willing to work together with the Jinchuriki, the power it can unleash may be even stronger than the Ryūmai Jinchuriki.

After all, that's like two against one!

In summary, the lower limit of the Ryūmai Jinchūriki is much higher than that of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, and the upper limit is much higher than that of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

The Jinchūriki was only slightly inferior.

If Cang Si were allowed to choose, he would definitely be more willing to become the Ryūmai Jinchūriki.

In other words, probably most people would make the same choice as Cang Si.

One is low risk and high return; the other is high risk and higher return.

Normal people would generally choose the former.

In this case, there is no need to take risks!

During the time when Uzumaki Kushina was resurrected by Souji and was running a tea stand outside the village, the Akatsuki organization's recruitment activities were also in full swing. ..

Fearing the powerful strength of Mizunotsuki Jin, Obito and Nagato hid for a while, both to recover from their injuries and to avoid possible revenge.

After a while, when they found that there was no news about Mizunotsuki Jin, they resumed their activities.

The Akatsuki organization, which consists of Nagato, Konan, Obito, and Zetsu, recruited Kakuzu and Sasori also joined them.

"The next target is Orochimaru. I heard that he often appears in Harada Country, now the Land of Sound. I guess that must be his lair after he left Konoha." Pain said.

"I will go there in person, and I will leave Kakuzu and Sasori to you. Is that ok, Madara?" Tendo Pain said coldly to Obito.

"Hehe, it's just a small matter." Obito replied indifferently.

Ever since the two of them teamed up to fight Mizunotsuki Jin and failed, they have actually begun to look down on each other.

During that time, they even lost contact for a while!

They all hid themselves to recuperate and avoid the possible revenge from Mizunotsuki Jin.

So, Obito now looks down on Nagato who possesses the Rinnegan. He believes that if Uchiha Madara had given the Rinnegan to him, the result would definitely not have been like this.

As for Nagato, he thought that Uchiha Madara, the former Shura of the Ninja World, was just a false title. Wasn't he the one who was beaten by Mizunotsuki Jin and had to hide?

The distrust and conflict between the two had deepened after the failure of the ambush on Mizunotsuki Jin.

It can be said that it was a battle where everyone wins if they win, but both lose if they lose.

However, it ended in failure.

Immediately afterwards, Tendo Pain left.

It was just a matter of taming Orochimaru, and Nagato didn't think it was necessary to use all six paths of Pain.

However, after Nagato controlled Tendo Pain to leave, Obito's face under the mask instantly became gloomy.

"Damn it, this bastard actually dared to talk to me as a leader! Wasn't I also beaten by Mizunotsuki Jin and had to hide for such a long time? What qualifications do you have to look down on me?" Obviously, Tendo Pain's attitude made Obito a little upset.

All along, Obito has regarded himself as the real leader of the Akatsuki organization and believed that Nagato was just a puppet in his hands.

Although they were both supported by Uchiha Madara, at least he knew Nagato, while Nagato didn't know about him and Uchiha Madara.

This gives Obito a natural sense of superiority when facing Nagato!

However, after the failure of his ambush on Mizunotsuki Jin, this sense of superiority seemed to be in danger of being directly overturned by Nagato.

How could Obito tolerate this?

Only he can't defeat Heaven, otherwise...

For a moment, Obito even had the idea of ​​seizing Nagato's Rinnegan.

However, thinking that the Black Zetsu left behind by Uchiha Madara had been monitoring him, and that the other party had the means to control the curse seal on his heart, he had to give up this idea.

Glancing at Zetsu who was silent beside him, Obito put away his thoughts.

"It's not the right time yet. When the time is ripe, whether it's Nagato, Zetsu, or Uchiha Madara, they all should go to the underworld!" Obito thought viciously in his heart.

Obito was of course aware that Uchiha Madara was using him as a chess piece.

However, he also had his own plans and did not want to follow Uchiha Madara's steps in everything.

For Obito, the person who can use Infinite Tsukuyomi can only be him, not Uchiha Madara!

Want to resurrect?

Go dream!

If given the chance, Obito wouldn't mind nailing Uchiha Madara's coffin shut!

Unfortunately, Uchiha Madara's body was hidden by Zetsu, so he couldn't ask about it.

After all, in Obito's heart, Black Zetsu is the embodiment of Uchiha Madara's will, and it would be rash for him to ask where Uchiha Madara's body is hidden.

This guy Black Zetsu will definitely see that I have other thoughts in my mind.

He might have done such a stupid thing in the past, but he would never be so stupid now!

In this regard, Obito's idea is actually the same as Souji's, both want to put the lid of Uchiha Madara's coffin to death.

In addition, to be honest, as long as Nohara Rin is resurrected, it is still possible to bring Obito back.

As for Uchiha Madara, he has been fooled by Black Zetsu. Unless Black Zetsu reveals himself, Uchiha Madara will not believe anyone else.

After all, given the character of the Uchiha clan, they would first think that there is something wrong with the world before they doubt themselves.

The typical thing is that the world is wrong and I am not wrong!

It is impossible to persuade such a person.

"But Nagato is indeed the leader of Akatsuki!" Black Zetsu didn't say anything. He knew that Obito was angry, but White Zetsu didn't have such tact.

As soon as White Zetsu finished speaking, he was met with Obito's vicious look.

This made Bai Zetsu, who was about to say something, shut up instantly.

I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you. Although he really didn’t know that he was telling the truth, why was Obito angry?

But considering the current situation, it would be better for him not to continue speaking.

"Obito, what are you going to do now?" At this time, Black Zetsu asked at the right time.

"What else can I do? I have to win over some members of Akatsuki myself. If I let Nagato and Konan do it, I won't have any say in Akatsuki!" Obito said angrily.

Obito actually feels a little regretful now. After White Zetsu discovered the three powerful men, Kakuzu, Sasori and Orochimaru, he should have taken action himself.

In this way, the three of them belonged to his faction.

As a result, he wasted this good opportunity in order to install AC and remain mysterious.

Next, he must carefully consider the next person to be recruited into the Akatsuki organization.

Obito couldn't help but think of the shark-faced man in Kirigakure who was under his control.

"That man named Hoshigaki Kisame is a good candidate. He is also strong enough. If we bring him into the Akatsuki organization, we will have a good helper.

In addition, among the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Biwa Juzo is also okay.

As for Black Chu Lei Ya, forget it, that guy is a little bit stupid.

As for the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, he seems to be beginning to doubt the status of Kujira Yagura. We must find a chance to get rid of him!"

In his mind, Obito tried hard to analyze the current situation of the Kirigakure under his control.

Of the four remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, two can be won over, one can be let go, and the last one cannot be allowed to live for too long.

Obito's decision determined the fate of the four powerful men of the Kirigakure.

After hearing what Obito said, Black Zetsu did not object.

In the Akatsuki organization, whether it is Nagato or Obito who is too strong, it is not good news for him.

After all, it is impossible for them to completely trust themselves.

Therefore, the role of Black Zetsu is to balance the relationship between Obito and Nagato.

Once one side is weaker, he will side with the other side.

Even though he joined Akatsuki with Obito, the key to rescuing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is the Rinnegan in Nagato's hand!

As for Obito, according to him and Uchiha Madara, his role was to monitor Nagato.

Since Obito's role is to act as a monitor, his power cannot be too weak. It is indeed necessary to appropriately enhance his voice in the Akatsuki organization.

"I understand. If there are still people suitable to join the Akatsuki organization, White Zetsu and I will notify you first, and then you can recruit them." Black Zetsu said calmly.

After hearing Black Zetsu's promise, Obito said nothing more and just nodded.

Next, it’s time for him to find a way to develop his own power in the Akatsuki organization.

Of course, right now, he still had to settle Kakuzu and Sasori who had already been subdued by Nagato.
