Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 85 It's not that the enemy is strong, it's that we are divided
"Hopefully."

Nara Shikaku sighed.

"Yu, you were also born into the ninja clan. There are some things that the Hizashi clan leader should have told you. We just need to seek stability from where we are now."

"Is this what the Nara clan has always felt? I understand." Hinata Yu smiled slightly, "But Captain Shikaku is willing to implement a policy of division. He doesn't seem to be someone who only wants to protect the interests of the ninja clan."

"..."

Nara Shikaku was silent for a moment and looked at Hinata Yu with dark eyes.

"After all, I am a member of the ninja clan. I can be willful and help the fourth generation to hold on to power. But my blood, secret techniques, knowledge, etc. all tell me that I am not in this position because of my own ability, but because of the gift from my family. I have the strength to move forward. I can't ignore the Nara clan!"

The differentiation plan has limited impact on the Nara clan, and may even be slightly beneficial, but it undermines the one country, one village system...

"Captain Shikaku, governing a country is different from governing a village. Governing a country requires more talents, and the wisdom of the Nara clan will play a greater role in it. Your status will not be reduced, and it will even rise."

Hinata Yu said calmly, "For the Nara clan, who have always been seeking stability and have no obsession with the position of Hokage, there will be no shortage of benefits. Why use benefits as an excuse?"

"I see." Nara Shikaku had a complicated expression on his face and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I'm still young and don't want to sink into political struggles. I also want to realize my ambitions."

If the Fourth Hokage really had that kind of idea because of the people below him, the situation in the Fire Nation would change drastically.

This is different from before. Minato cannot have an absolute advantage. Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first generation and the princess of the Fire Nation, may not stand behind Minato again. Instead, she may become an obstacle.

The Uchiha rose to power because of Minato. If Minato loses power, they may be beaten back to their original form and will most likely choose to support him.

After all, Uchiha has always been fearless, no matter what the daimyo is...

There are also many people whose positions are difficult to say.

But there is no doubt that by then the power gap between opponents and supporters will not be very large, and neither will have an absolute advantage.

If both sides do not want Konoha to suffer serious damage, they can only hide it from the daimyo and fight within Konoha until one side overwhelms the other.

Or, it could turn into a bloody war because of the intervention of a daimyo.

"Konoha's current situation is very good. There is no need to move towards an unknown future where the Fourth Hokage would face an unbeatable enemy and Konoha would suffer from its own weakness."

Nara Shikaku said seriously: "Maintaining the status quo is the best. At this moment, Konoha's older generation of strong men include the Third Generation and others, the middle-aged generation of the Three Ninjas are at their peak, and the younger generation includes the Fourth Generation and you."

"After that, there will be Kakashi, Uchiha's new generation Shisui and other geniuses who can become strong. With another ten years of development, Konoha can even defeat the five major nations."

"So, I will not let Konoha fall into that kind of future. I will cut off all factors that may cause it to happen."

In the conflict between the Hokage and the Daimyo, both sides were able to remain restrained, and the Fourth Hokage could even give in.

But those below might not be the first to take action. The cause of a war is not always determined by the top leaders.

Like the previous situation, if he did not suppress the voices of civilian ninjas and let the small ninjas act on their own, and the daimyo discovered the clues and thought that Minato was showing signs of taking action, the situation would be out of control.

Thinking of this, looking at Hinata Yu who still looked calm, Nara Shikaku said solemnly:
"Yu, you and the Fourth Generation can do most things together, but in this matter, I hope you will listen to my advice and stabilize the situation."

Hinata Yu left a good impression on him. He had both strange and regular methods, unlike Danzo.

However, the other party is from the Hyuga branch, and may not have the awareness of being a high-ranking ninja clan member. In addition, he has a close relationship with the Fourth Hokage, so he may directly support the Fourth Hokage to become the daimyo in this matter.

Hinata Yu looked at the empty teacup and said slowly: "You said the Fourth Generation's enemies were strong? You're wrong, right? It's not that the enemies have become stronger, but that we are divided internally!"

Shikaku opened his mouth and nodded helplessly.

"Yes, we were split." He wanted to play it safe, not wanting to have the support of the Fourth Generation to help him ascend to the throne.

Tsunade might object.

Fugaku might support that.

Three senior executives, three opinions.

The resistance actually did not become stronger. It was still the ninja clan that the Fourth Generation had defeated once, but the problem lay within them. They had been able to unite against the outside world before, but now they had differences on this matter.

If there were no internal divisions...it wouldn't be that difficult for the fourth generation to win.

"I need to prepare for the meeting with the Fourth Kazekage in two days, so I won't ask about this matter." Hinata Yu said calmly: "You have stabilized the situation, and the rest is up to you."

After saying this, his figure disappeared from the spot, as if he was going to handle government affairs.

Hearing Hinata Yu's implicit agreement, Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief and got up to leave.

If we can persuade this person, other things will be easy.

In the shadows, a pair of eyes watched him leave, rushing towards where Hinata Yu was.

……

"You are able to recover your strength very quickly without being noticed by Nara Shikaku, Ye Cang."

Ye Cang, whose appearance had changed from the past, looked at the man in front of him and said respectfully, "It is all thanks to Master Yu who created this body."

As she said this, her heart was filled with emotion.

I thought I was lucky to be resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation and have the opportunity to take revenge on the bastard Fourth Kazekage, but I didn't expect that I could also feel the feeling of being truly alive.

He didn't resist like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but volunteered to serve as Hinata Tsubasa's subordinate. He didn't make the wrong decision...

"This body is made from your original body's cells. I made some changes to your appearance. In other aspects, your body energy is far from your peak. You have recovered to this level in such a short time. It is your own hard work."

Hinata Yu looked at Ye Cang's face, which was only 40% similar to his original appearance, and nodded.

The split technique is like a kind of cloning. He got a lot of clues from that ninjutsu and eventually created the technological cloning technology.

This was the forbidden technique he and Tsunade had discussed before.

This technology is not yet complete and perfect, or to put it simply, it is the scientific version of fission.

It requires the complete body of the cloned object, even a complete corpse will do. Cultivating a body identical to the original from a few cells is still a difficult challenge he needs to overcome.

The limitations are huge, but it doesn't matter. Technological breakthroughs always take time. Isn't the purpose of creating shadow clones for study and research?

When the technology was born, he naturally tried it, and he happened to have the right people.

He used Ye Cang's original corpse to create a body with vitality but no consciousness. Then, he used his soul reincarnation technique to transfer Ye Cang's soul to this body, and the other party was reborn.

And because it is a technological means, some changes can be made to the appearance when the body is manufactured.

Even people who knew her well would only think she looked a little similar.
