In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 157 The Scenery of the Hyuga Clan on the Eve of the Nine-Tails' Rebellion!
"Mizukage-sama."

"If we can achieve such a future, even just a fraction of it, we can say that we have realized our dreams."

Yahiko looked at Kaguya Naoki with hopeful eyes.

As long as the Water Shadow agrees with his statement in the next moment.

He will immediately request that Akatsuki be officially recognized as an outer organization of Kirigakure, to help Kaguya Naoki realize their shared dream.

Let there be world peace!
Let the world move towards a bright and beautiful future.

As long as they can achieve this goal, the Xiao organization will not hesitate to use any means necessary.

Even if the entity that realizes this dream is no longer the Akatsuki organization.

The Third Mizukage also looked at Kaguya Naoki with encouraging eyes.

As the Water Shadow, he was naturally quite capable in dealing with people and situations, and he could easily see the current situation clearly.

As their gazes met, Naoki Kaguya did not give the affirmative answer that the two had expected.

Instead, he slowly shook his head.

Yahiko's heart immediately jumped, and his gaze turned to astonishment and confusion.

The Third Mizukage gripped his pen tightly, looking at the Fourth Mizukage with a mixture of confusion and eagerness.

The shifting gazes did not affect Kaguya Naoki.

He slowly stood up, his shadow stretching long in the sunlight.

"Yahiko, isn't your dream, and the dream of your Akatsuki organization, to bring true peace to this world?"

"Yes."

Yahiko responded instinctively.

"So why tell yourself from the beginning that you can only achieve a fraction of it?"

Naoki Kaguya stood earnestly in front of Yahiko, looking down at him.

His figure seemed to be constantly rising, breaking through the sky.

"All I know is that when someone tells themselves from the outset that they might not be able to complete the task, the chances of them completing it are reduced infinitely."

Yahiko felt a little flustered, realizing that what Kaguya Naoki said made a lot of sense.

Even Nagato and Konan nodded slightly.

"don’t worry."

Naoki Kaguya noticed Yahiko's unusual behavior and couldn't help but smile.

"As long as you start putting in 100% effort from now on and make the most of every day, you will eventually have the confidence to solve everything."

"A hard-working person will always find a way to solve any problem."

Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the Akatsuki organization from the past, which coincided with what Kaguya Naoki had said.

In just a few words, he felt that the spirit he had been severely damaged by the betrayal had returned, and he had regained the confidence to strive to realize his dreams.

As expected of the Water Shadow.

They are indeed very good at bewitching people.

No.

Yahiko began to understand why Kaguya Naoki could so easily bewitch people.

Because what Naoki Kaguya called seductive words were actually for their own good.

Yahiko gradually came to understand everything.

"Keep up the good work, Yahiko."

Naoki Kaguya waved his hand, clearly indicating that he was seeing the guest off.

"Try to cheer yourself up and work hard for the future."

"Then we need to find a way to cheer ourselves up."

"In our Mist Village, we don't tolerate a dejected guy like you."

Yahiko nodded, and Nagato nodded in agreement.

Xiao Nan smiled as she looked at the two of them.

From that moment on, the Akatsuki's dream set sail once again.

From then on, the Akatsuki finally had a home to call home.

Behind them, Kaguya Naoki slowly unwrapped two scrolls from Kirigakure.

One copy was written by Kakashi, and the other came from Hyuga Hizashi.

The two men emphasized only one thing on the scroll.

Kushina is going to give birth.

Kushina's childbirth signifies several other things.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's Rebellion.

Hyuga defected.

of course.

And then there were the Uchiha.

Naoki Kaguya slowly stood up, turned her gaze to the west, and slammed her fist heavily on the table.

This time, I'll make sure you die a truly horrible death.
-
"What did you say?"

In the dimly lit cave, Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth, each word dripping with pain and chilling malice.

"I said."

Seeing Obito's increasingly dissatisfied expression, White Zetsu shrank back, but still gritted his teeth and continued.

"I said, the Akatsuki, Nagato and the others have defected to Kirigakure."

"Didn't I tell you to assassinate Yahiko?!"

"You're having so much trouble killing a good-for-nothing lying in bed?"

White Zetsu dared not look up any further.

"We are always being discovered by others."

"Were discovered by someone else?"

Obito Uchiha was somewhat taken aback. Could it be that Kirigakure had some hidden masters?

"How did you get discovered? You're White Zetsu."

Bai Jue looked bewildered.

"I do not know either."

Of course, he didn't know that all the White Zetsu had been marked by the White Zetsu assassin Kaguya Naoki. Even if there were any omissions, given the White Zetsu's intelligence, they wouldn't escape Konan's eyes.

Naturally, all the assassinations failed.

Obito felt annoyed looking at Whitebeard.

If Black Zetsu hadn't been sent by him to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he wouldn't have sent these few guys who only now realize have intellectual problems to Kirigakure to assassinate him!

It's also unreasonable to have Obito Uchiha personally take action!

He was not afraid of Naoki Kaguya, and felt that even if he could not easily defeat him, he would definitely not fail.

can.

This concerns Nagato!

How could he allow himself to show his face?

After the White Zetsu assassination is successful, Obito still wants to drag Nagato down with him, so how can he do it himself!
These are all White Zetsu's problems.

But we can't exactly kill White Zetsu.

Obito quickly found someone to vent his anger on.

Damn Kaguya Naoki, damn Kirigakure bastard.

How abominable.

Thinking of Kaguya Naoki and Kirigakure, both old and new grudges surged into Obito Uchiha's heart, making his eyes seem to spit fire.

His plans were repeatedly disrupted. The previous attempts were all the work of Kirigakure, and although this one had nothing to do with Kirigakure, it still failed in Kirigakure.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to teach Kirigakure a lesson.

Naturally, a face came to mind.

That was Kaguya Naoki, wearing a blue and white robe.

Almost instantly, anger surged within him, and he was filled with murderous intent.

As Obito Uchiha was about to make his move, memories of being brutally beaten by Naoki Kaguya flooded his mind, making him even more eager to trample Naoki Kaguya under his feet right now!
No.

Not for now.

Obito Uchiha ultimately rejected this decision.

That guy, Naoki Kaguya, was one of the culprits who caused Rin's death.

If I don't torment this guy properly, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage is imminent; how can we waste too much time on him?

However, Obito Uchiha lived up to his reputation as a truly wicked person. He quickly found a target to vent his anger on!
Mei Terumi is the person that Naoki Kaguya values ​​most.

Obito Uchiha's eyes lit up.

If Mei Terumi is killed or kidnapped, wouldn't that also be part of tormenting Naoki Kaguya?
Moreover, this is not entirely driven by selfish motives.

What if, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, Kaguya Naoki took advantage of the situation and seized a huge amount of Konoha's benefits?
Using Mei Terumi to throw Kaguya Naoki into a state of turmoil is also part of the plan!

Without further ado, Obito Uchiha, having reached his limit of patience, was about to set off.

Just then, Black Zetsu appeared in the cave and asked a question as he looked at Obito's hurried figure.

After understanding Obito Uchiha's plan, Black Zetsu was speechless. "No matter how talented Kaguya Naoki is, how could he possibly seize the opportunity and take advantage of the Nine-Tails' attack?"

"Once Konoha catches its breath the next day, how will Kaguya Naoki take advantage of the situation?"

Obito Uchiha wanted to refute, but Black Zetsu didn't give him a chance at all, fearing that he might make some decision that would affect the plan.

He realized that Obito Uchiha was a complete idiot!

"The key issue now is Kushina; she's about to give birth!"

"Soon?"

Obito Uchiha hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

There was plenty of time to torment Kaguya Naoki.

but.

His teacher's wife, however, only gave birth a few times.

If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when the next one will come.

"Take back all the White Zetsu for now."

With that, Obito Uchiha spoke with imposing force, slamming his finger on the map.

"Gather everyone in Konoha Village!"

"Yes."

White Zetsu seized the opportunity to flee.

"Obito."

"How can we let Nagato fall into Kaguya Naoki's hands?"

Black Zetsu was quite helpless.

"That guy might become the biggest obstacle to Project Eye of the Moon!"

"Even if Nagato joins Konoha, it would be better than him staying in Kirigakure!"

"How can it be!"

Obito felt he needed to argue, after all, he had once dreamed of becoming Hokage.

"How could Konoha be weaker than Kirigakure?"

I'm talking about the future.

Black Zetsu was increasingly frustrated, feeling that the Uchiha clan were all idiots who couldn't see what development potential meant.

"With Danzo as Hokage, Konoha is not only completely unable to ease the situation in the village, but it also seems to be getting worse."

"More importantly, with Danzo around, Konoha has almost no friends, only enemies. Even former friends have gradually become enemies."

Seemingly afraid that Obito wouldn't believe him, Black Zetsu added a sentence.

"For example, Sunagakure."

Obito thought for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, that was his view. As long as Danzo was the Hokage of Konoha, Konoha would almost never have a chance to turn things around.

"Moreover, Kirigakure has Kaguya Naoki, and that guy is your greatest enemy."

Black Zetsu blurted it out instinctively, then realized something was wrong.

As expected, Obito was already getting anxious!

"Nonsense!"

Obito was eager to refute.

"How could such a bastard, idiot, and incompetent piece of trash possibly become my greatest enemy?"

"He's just a Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) user; my Sharingan could easily defeat him."

"His moves can't escape my eyes, I..."

"Yeah."

Black Zetsu quickly tried to calm him down, but he was even more impatient.

Apart from Madara, all the Uchiha were useless, insane, and beyond redemption, including Obito Uchiha!

Can the Eye of the Moon Plan still be realized if it's handed over to Obito Uchiha?
Black Zetsu was very suspicious.

After all, he had only been gone a short time, yet this guy was able to send Nagato to Kirigakure's camp.

If we stay any longer, we might cause some trouble!
Fortunately, it was just the Nine-Tails' rampage; nothing serious is likely to happen!
"Let's get down to business as soon as possible, Obito. Let's get to Konoha and make the necessary arrangements quickly."

"After severely damaging Konoha, we will then unite the four kingdoms to weaken Kirigakure."

"Once Kirigakure's strength has also fallen to its lowest point, we will handle the final chaos."

As Black Zetsu repeated his plan, Obito Uchiha nodded in agreement.

"That's right, these are the most important things right now. I was too impulsive just now."

"As for Nagato, I'll figure something out."

Black Zetsu revealed a cruel look in his eyes.

"After all, building trust is difficult, but breaking trust is incredibly easy."
-
Why did Naoki-sama say that Kushina's childbirth would be a pivotal turning point in the world, or the best time for the Hinata to join Kirigakure?

Hyuga Hizashi sat alone in the deserted courtyard, looking up at the sky enclosed by walls.

Even if you don't understand, just do it.
After all, Naoki-sama has never made a mistake.

Hyuga Hizashi smiled as he thought of this.

"Father."

A child's innocent voice came from the room behind him. Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but smile and looked at the room behind him, where a little one was climbing and peeking out.

Neji.

Hijiri called out with a smile.

Neji tilted his head, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of the name.

But when he saw the encouraging look in his father's eyes, he immediately understood everything.

This is calling him.

He spoke softly, letting out a soft "ah".

What a smart child.

Other children that age wouldn't be able to speak or understand these things.

In the future, he will be a genius ninja.

Hyuga Hizashi was absolutely certain.

Therefore, a child like Neji should never become a caged bird!
"Hizashi-sama!"

A member of the branch family knocked on the door, and a soft call came from behind.

"coming."

Hyuga Hizashi got up, first putting Neji back in his room, then walked to the door and opened it.

"Hizashi-sama."

"The clan chief has asked you to see him. It's for the imprinting ceremony of several children who have branched out from the family."

"Ah."

Hizashi glanced back at Neji's room before heading towards Hiashi Hyuga's residence.

“Come, Tokuma.”

"Don't cry."

"Once this ritual is performed, you will no longer have to worry about your safety."

The elder of the branch family teased the child in a very kind manner, but once he had tricked him into the clan chief's room, his face immediately fell, only to become all smiles again in the blink of an eye.

None of this escaped the eyes of Hyuga Hizashi, who was deliberately observing.

He turned to look at the parents of the children.

Except for one family that showed no outward signs of distress, everyone else clutched their robes tightly.

It's tension.

Or is it that you're unwilling to accept it?
Thinking this way, Richa didn't dwell on it too much.

These days, he has been secretly probing the thoughts of his people.

Who yearns for freedom, and who is content with the status quo?

Who can be entrusted with important tasks during a defection?

pity.

The main family's dog-training strategy was very successful; at least, he didn't see many Hyuga branch family members who clearly longed for freedom.

Or maybe.

Are they afraid to show their longing?
Hyuga Hizashi felt he was close to the answer.

Right.

If he dared to show such determination, he would probably be quickly trained into a good dog by the Hyuga main family using the Caged Bird Seal.

Think so.

Hyuga Hizashi tightened his grip on a piece of paper in his arms, given to him by Kaguya Naoki. It contained the cursed seals for using the Caged Bird Seal, including how to control the branch family ninjas.

I really don't know why Naoki-sama is such a genius, able to develop such a technique.

and so.

I can use these conditions to truly filter out some of the people who are unwilling to accept their fate.

When Kushina gives birth, we will give them true freedom.
