Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

As a father, he failed to recognize this trait in his closest relative, while it was Minazuki Yoru, Hinata's brother's killer who had only met her once, who saw through everything.

"Lord Mizukage! On behalf of Hinata's father and the entire Hyuga clan, I sincerely express my gratitude to you!"

Rizu stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Shenshen.

"It's alright, I just can't stand seeing precious gems covered in dust," Ye said dismissively.

"Lord Mizukage is truly righteous!"

The Japanese player bowed deeply once more.

Hinata, standing to the side, seemed a little flustered. Seeing her father bow, she quickly stood up and bowed as well.

Hinata's adorable appearance made Ye laugh out loud, and he kept pinching Hinata's reddened cheeks.

Hinata didn't resist. She knew that the Hyuga clan had solved a big problem because of Minazuki Yoru, and she herself had finally had a good meal.

And there's a high probability that we'll be able to have a full meal every day in the future!

"Lord Mizukage..."

Seeing how happily Minazuki Yoru and Hinata were playing together, and recalling what Minazuki Yoru had said earlier, Hiashi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he spoke up.

"Lord Mizukage has been a great benefactor to my Hyuga clan and to my daughter. I see that my daughter and Lord Mizukage get along very well, so I dare to... suggest that my daughter become Lord Mizukage's godfather!"

"puff!"

Unable to hold back, Mizuki Yoru spat his sake all over Hiashi's face, causing him to cough repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Chief Hiashi."

"It's alright..."

Hiashi wiped the grime from his face without changing expression, and still looked at Yoru with a smile: "What does Lord Mizukage think?"

Should I get Hinata to recognize me as her godfather?

That’s okay!

Ye's lips twitched slightly, speechless at Rishi's audacious idea.

This godfather... this adoptive husband, ugh, this godfather, can you just randomly choose one? Don't you see how Fengxian next door adopted one after another? Hinata may not be Fengxian, but who can resist having such an icy princess as their goddaughter?

Ye subconsciously glanced at the slightly shy and reserved young girl with a blush on her face, and images of Hinata with long hair and a fishing net in the future involuntarily surfaced in his mind... He couldn't help but imagine countless Otsutsuki descending from the sky to fight him in the future.

Hmm...it seems pretty good?

Anyway, my goal was to take down the Otsutsuki clan!

No. I still can't recognize this godfather.

"Ahem, Hiashi, I understand your feelings. Hinata does get along very well with me, but it's a bit unreasonable for the Hyuga clan's daughter to recognize the Fourth Mizukage as her father. Not to mention the people of Konoha, even within the Hyuga clan, there will probably be a lot of gossip and rumors."

Seeing that Yoru refused, Hiashi's face grew anxious: "Lord Mizukage, you jest. Although I, Hiashi, do not have the absolute status within the clan like Fugaku Uchiha, I am still the head of the clan, and Hinata is my daughter. What can they say if I let my daughter recognize a godfather?!"

"Moreover, the Mizukage is invincible in this world, and Kirigakure and Konoha are allies. It is my daughter's blessing, the Hyuga clan's blessing, and Konoha's blessing that my daughter can recognize the Mizukage as her goddaughter!"

"Oh dear, that's true, but people's opinions are hard to silence..."

"Lord Mizukage, rest assured, this is all my responsibility! I, Hiashi, am willing to dedicate the entire strength of my clan to ensure that Your Excellency's reputation is not damaged in the slightest!"

"No, no, that won't do..."

"It's feasible! It's feasible!"

After a series of subtle and overt exchanges, with one advancing while the other retreated, the two finally let out a long sigh.

"That's all!"

"Hinata is so lovely and has such outstanding talent. I can't rest easy if she is left to fend for herself like this."

"However, let's forget about the matter of recognizing a godfather. How about this, I can take Hinata as my personal disciple. What does Chief Hiashi think?"

"Disciple?" Hiashi was taken aback.

"good."

Yoru nodded: "To be honest, although I am the Fourth Mizukage, I don't have any disciples yet. It would be an honor for me to personally guide the growth of a genius like Hinata."

"What is Chief Rizu's opinion?"

What do you think? No need to even think about it!

This is the disciple of the Fourth Mizukage, the disciple of the strongest man in the world!

As everyone knows, the probability of a Shadow Disciple inheriting the Shadow position is as high as 99%. Being a Shadow Disciple is equivalent to holding a ticket to become a Shadow.

Unfortunately, Mizuki Yoru is the Mizukage of Kirigakure, not the Hokage of Konoha. Therefore, even if Hinata grows up in the future, she will not be able to become the Hokage, and the probability of her becoming the Mizukage is almost zero.

But this is completely devoid of any carving!

With the guidance of Minazuki Yoru, Hinata is destined to become a top-tier fighter in the future; that alone is more than enough.

Not to mention that Kirigakure not only has countless resources, but its research on bloodline limits such as the Byakugan has also reached an extremely advanced level.

In addition, Minazuki Yoru also possesses the corpse of a Moon Otsutsuki!

Everything indicates that as long as Hinata follows Mizuki Yoru, she is destined to become a pinnacle of the ninja world!

Fugaku Uchiha, relying on his Mangekyou Sharingan, emerged out of nowhere and overwhelmed the Hokage lineage, making Hiashi realize that strength is the foundation of everything.

Once Hinata becomes a top-tier ninja and stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, what difficulty would there be in learning a move from Uchiha Fugaku?

Fugaku Uchiha could become Hokage, and Hinata Hyuga could too!

"It's a deal! Mizukage-sama, then it's a deal!" Hiashi shook Yoru's hand with a broad smile, while calling out to Hinata, "Come, Hinata, quickly greet your godfather, no, quickly greet your teacher!"

Seeing Hiashi so excited, Yoru couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at Hinata.

Hinata glanced at Hiashi Hyuga, and at his signal, she bowed to Yoru with some hesitation and restraint.

"Mizukage-sensei..."

"Water Shadow is just a title; from now on, you can just call me Teacher."

"teacher…"

Hinata called out sweetly again, and Yoru smiled and nodded in response. Then he took out a sky-blue crystal from the scroll he carried with him.

The crystal was incredibly clear, radiating a sky-blue light; upon closer inspection, it was like a dream.

With just one glance, Hiashi could tell that this was no ordinary object!

After putting it on Hinata, Yoru gently touched Hinata's fair neck.

A flash of azure light disappeared in an instant, and to Hiashi's astonishment, a star-cross mark appeared on Hinata's lower left neck and quickly vanished.

"Lord Mizukage, this is..."

"Consider it a gift for our first meeting and for my becoming your disciple."

Night gently ruffled Hinata's light purple short hair.

"I'm also looking forward to seeing what you'll look like when you've fully grown up, Hinata."

Chapter 191 Hey! I've got a great idea!

Fugaku Uchiha won the Hokage election and became Konoha's only candidate for the Fifth Hokage. He even moved into the Hokage's office at the suggestion of the fanatical Uchiha and threw all of the old man's messy things into the trash.

Of course, this does not mean that Fugaku became the Hokage.

In this world, to become a Kage, it's not enough to just have the village's approval; you also need the Daimyo's approval, although this process rarely goes wrong.

Three days later, Fugaku Uchiha officially gained the Daimyo's approval and became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!

The news sent shockwaves through the ninja world.

The situation in Konoha is well known. This village, co-founded by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, was forcibly removed from the center of power for decades after its establishment due to Madara's departure and the suppression of the Uchiha by the White-Haired Second Hokage.

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha took office as the Fifth Hokage, announcing the return of the Uchiha to the world!

"The Fifth Hokage?!"

Yunyin.

The Fourth Raikage looked at the intelligence report in his hand, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. With a single punch, he destroyed the Raikage's desk, which had only been replaced a few days ago.

His rough hands gripped the intelligence report tightly, his face filled with anger and resentment.

"Damn Kirigakure! If it weren't for those guys from Seireitei helping us, how could we have possibly lost to Konoha!"

"It's just a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, I don't believe he's really as powerful as Madara Uchiha back then!"

"Fourth Hokage, calm down. After all, it's a kaleidoscope."

The elderly sports elders in the corner whispered their advice: "Even we in Kumogakure lack the means to counter genjutsu. Even if you, Fourth Hokage, can fight against Susanoo, we still cannot defeat the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Yes, Fourth Hokage, although we, the Hidden Cloud Village, were defeated in that battle, our overall losses were not that great. Apart from the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Cloud Village is still the strongest in the ninja world!"

"That's right, that's right. Take it slow, Fourth Hokage. As a Kage, the most important thing is patience."

The older athletes bombarded the Fourth Hokage with questions, trying to calm the hot-tempered Kage down and get him to accept this ending. But how could the young and impetuous Fourth Hokage be so willing to accept it?

With our strength, two tailed beasts, and countless elites, how could we, the Hidden Cloud Village, be so cowardly and lackluster? Wouldn't we become a laughing stock in the ninja world?

If it became a joke, and there were resources and spoils to be gained, that would be fine. But whether it was the Third Shinobi World War or the later wars, the Hidden Cloud Village didn't get a single thing. How could the Fourth Raikage tolerate this?!

"No, this absolutely cannot be left like this, absolutely not!"

The Fourth Raikage crumpled the intelligence report in his hand and said angrily, "We, the Hidden Cloud Village, absolutely cannot be so timid and hesitant just because of a pair of tiny Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Illusion magic is countered, right? Then let's find a way to break the illusion!"

"This……"

The elderly physical education students looked at each other, filled with helplessness.

They would love to have a way to break the illusion, but the Hidden Cloud Village truly doesn't.

The Cloud Village ninjas specialize in Lightning Release, possessing unparalleled killing power, terrifying bursts of speed, and speed that surpasses all others in the ninja world. Any Cloud Village Jonin would be a top-tier fighter in the ninja world.

Both Storm Release and Magnet Release are incredibly powerful.

As for illusion magic... well, you could say a sports student is just a sports student...

"If Kumogakure doesn't have it, does that mean it doesn't exist in the entire ninja world?!"

Seeing the silent advisors and elders, the Fourth Raikage was furious.

You don't have it in Kumogakure? Then steal it, rob it! As long as you can get your hands on it, wouldn't that be the same as Kumogakure owning it?!

“If we use the Fourth Hokage’s method…” An elderly physical education student, unable to bear the Fourth Hokage’s temper, whispered, “In the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War, Kirigakure Jonin ‘Ao’ stole a Byakugan from the Hyuga clan’s main branch.”

"With the help of this Byakugan, Kirigakure greatly reduced the strength of Konoha's genjutsu ninjas in the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War. Perhaps we can learn from their example."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Rai's eyes lit up!

They were certainly aware of the Byakugan's reputation. This eye held an extremely high strategic position in war. Anyone who possessed it could not only conduct reconnaissance and insight from a great distance, but also observe whether their own personnel were under a genjutsu by sensing chakra fluctuations.

If the Cloud Village had the Byakugan, then even if a Cloud Village ninja was caught in a genjutsu, their teammates could help disrupt their chakra and break the genjutsu!

What? You're saying that the illusions of the kaleidoscope can't be broken by ordinary means?

The Hidden Cloud Village doesn't know!

"Alright, then our goal is to roll our eyes!"

The Fourth Raikage waved his hand and made the decision directly.

The advisors and elders exchanged glances, hesitant to speak, and all turned their gazes to the one who had come up with the idea, as if to say, "You've come up with a terrible idea, so you'd better deal with it!"

Even the King of Ideas had a hard time. Everyone knew the benefits of the Byakugan, but the Hyuga clan's protective measures for the Byakugan were also well-known in the ninja world.

The existence of the Caged Bird Seal already greatly protected the Hyuga clan's Byakugan. In addition, during the Third Shinobi World War, Kirigakure pulled a stunt, causing the entire Hyuga clan's main family to leave Konoha and only sending branch families to the battlefield. Even if Kumogakure really went to great lengths to capture a member of the Hyuga clan, it would inevitably be just a branch family member, which would be of no use.

But since things have come to this, he has no choice but to give up and do whatever he wants!

The idea king racked his brains, thinking hard until his scalp tingled.

Finally, just as the Fourth Generation Rai's gaze turned hostile, Idea King suddenly raised his head.

"Have it!"

"Konoha's protection of the Byakugan is extremely strict, making it impossible for us to seize it head-on. But what if we approach it from the side?"

With a broad smile, the Idea King spoke eloquently: "Since we were defeated by Konoha, we must sign a ceasefire agreement with Konoha. Putting aside everything else, as the defeated party, it is perfectly reasonable for us to go to Konoha to sign a treaty to show our sincerity for peace."
