Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

In the orphanage, Yakushi Kabuto was skillfully making soldier pills.

In Konoha, there is a great demand for Hyouryoku Maru, and basically every ninja will carry them when going on a mission.

Thanks to the presence of pharmacist Nono, making military pills became one of the sources of income for their orphanage.

He has been doing this kind of work for many years.

"Dou, you're back?"

"Well, there wasn't much work today, so I left get out of class early."

Pharmacist Kabuto stood up.

Nono waved his hand: "No need to get up, just sit down, I'll drink some water first."

Pharmacist Kabuto frowned slightly.

He noticed that Nono's tone and mood seemed to show that she wanted to talk to him about something, so he didn't rush to continue making the soldiers' pills, but got up to wash his hands.

When he came back, Nono was looking down at the soldiers' pills he had made.

"Have you been worried lately?"

"No, why do you ask?"

Kabuto looked at the Bingliang pills on the table and realized that the quality of the Bingliang pills he made might not be as good as before. He smiled and said, "Nothing, just some problems with study."

Nono was stunned.

Then she sighed softly: "You are such a smart child!"

Dou came over and cleaned the table.

Nono whispered, "Kabuto, I heard that Lord Orochimaru admires you very much."

Kabuto stopped moving.

In less than half a second, he regained his composure and continued to clean the table.

"Do you wish me to go?"

"I?"

Nono was stunned for a while.

She realized that Kabuto considered her a mother and a family member, so he asked for her opinion.

Otherwise, how could a smart kid like Dou not have his own ideas?

Nono was leaning against a table nearby.

"My child, this is a question that you should make your own choice. I have my own limitations and may not fully understand your expectations and pursuits..."

She spoke slowly.

Yakushi Kabuto sat on a chair, leaning on one hand, looking up at Nono.

Only here can he let down his guard and enjoy the joy of relaxation without any precautions.

After listening to Nono, Kabuto smiled very restrainedly: "I want to hear your opinion."

"If it was before, I would not agree to you becoming that adult's student. At that time, he followed Danzo and was very cold and scary. He made me feel like a poisonous snake that could bite and kill you at any time!"

Yakushi Nono pushed his glasses up, "But now, he seems to have changed..."

As an intelligence worker, Nono's long-term observation of people is undoubtedly quite accurate.

Orochimaru is now suppressed by Tsunade and Kyohiko, and the coldness in Orochimaru has disappeared a lot.

but.

Thinking of today's situation, she suddenly said, "It's fine for you to learn from me, but don't learn everything. Some of Orochimaru's ideas are very crazy!"

"crazy?"

Pharmacist Dou was stunned.

Nono nodded, his face serious.

"In order to research and explore the secrets of ninjutsu and secret techniques, he can be crazy and unscrupulous. He is a little better now, but he is still the same person at heart. You can't become like this!"

"Yeah, I understand. I just want to become stronger so that I can protect everyone and let everyone live a better life."

Yakushi Kabuto looked at the orphanage.

Upon hearing this, Nono fell silent.

After a long while, she sighed and said, "Smart children often endure more pain and have more choices. Dou, sometimes, I actually hope you are more naive and clumsy."

She touched Dou's hair and then half squatted down.

"Your eyesight isn't impaired, is it?"

"No."

"Let me check it out, this is important!"

Inside the house, the two people's daily conversations could be heard.

……

On the way, Zhishui seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jing Yan smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. If I want to destroy your Uchiha clan, I won't have to go through so much trouble during this period!"

"what?"

Shisui was a little confused.

During this time, has Kyohiko been worried about their Uchiha clan?

He can't feel it at all!

Jing Yan said: "The best way to deal with those people imprisoned in the Anbu is to kill them all, because they are outright traitors."

"However, this will have a great impact on the subsequent handling of your Uchiha clan."

"Understand?"

Kyohiko looked at Shisui.

Shisui pondered for a long moment, nodded gently, and spoke about the current situation within the clan.

Many of the clan members who were still alive were with their faction, but many also participated in the events of that night, but they did not have time to rebel and were simply taken down by Shisui and Fugaku.

If the punishment is too severe, these people may be very worried.

and so.

The severity of the punishment for the Anbu is very troublesome.

You can’t let them go, and you can’t kill them all.

Shisui scratched his head: "Have you thought of a solution?"

"The bird in the cage is a good idea. If we can convince the head of the Hyuga clan, this matter will have a chance of turning around. Otherwise..."

Jing Yan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that some of your people will have to spend the rest of their lives in prison."

"Like, Uchiha Setsuna?"

Back then, a similar group of Uchiha clan members suffered the same fate.

Shisui remembered that name.

Uchiha Setsuna.

He hesitated to speak and finally remained silent.

Shisui whispered after a few seconds.

"My grandfather admired the Second Hokage very much because of this incident. He said that the Second Hokage had a very great heart and was definitely not targeting the Uchiha clan!"

When he was a child, he didn't understand why the Second Hokage handled it that way, and he didn't understand his grandfather's decision at the time and the words recorded in the book.

Now Shisui understood a little.

An event is never a simple matter of right or wrong; there are many complex factors involved.

It is easy to kill a group of people, but it is very difficult to take care of the overall situation.

His teacher is not very old, but he has the same broad mind and wisdom as Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju in the past.

"Teacher, I deciphered an additional fragment of words on that stone tablet, but I'm not sure if it will be helpful..."

“Mutually exclusive.”

Shisui whispered what he hadn't said in the basement.

He was on guard against Fugaku.

Having personally experienced this strange combination and power, Shisui was worried that once Fugaku knew about it, he would have other ideas in his mind, causing the Uchiha to fall into the abyss of despair once again.

Jingyan explained.

"I guessed it. Besides, the cells in your body are not from the first generation, but a copy cultivated by Madara using some special means. The effect is weaker."

"So, back then, Madara..."

Shisui has not been wasting time idly recently. He has secretly taught himself some basic medical knowledge and checked the information within the clan. He knows that the cells in his body are extremely corrosive.

even.

According to some family records, Konoha may have conducted experiments on Hashirama's cells.

These were the evidence and means collected by the Uchiha clan in order to overthrow the Hokage faction. Unfortunately, they were not used in the end.

and so.

After comparison, he understood why Jing Yan had such a guess.

Everyone else would be corrupted, but the Uchiha could.

Mutually exclusive force. Refers to the two families?
Shisui sorted out his thoughts, and then a look of shock appeared in his eyes: "So, in the Valley of the End that year, Madara did it on purpose!"

"Yes, it was a premeditated fight."

Jingyan said, "However, I believe that Madara really wanted to compete with the first generation, but in the end he really lost."

Shisui nodded in agreement.

After that, he looked at Jingyan.

"That……"

"I'll take you back to the guard."

Jingyan didn't reply.

Shisui nodded.

"Yes!"

……

After sending the people back, Jingyan instantly went to where the Hyuga clan was.

The Hyuga clan remains the same as always.

Like the Uchiha, they have their own vast clan territory, different customs and habits from others, and even their own streets.

but.

Walking back to Hyuga Town, Kyouhiko noticed a slight difference.

There are more stalls on both sides.

There are also more pedestrians.

There were even more people running on both sides of the street. In the past, the Hyuga clan rarely allowed such running teams to pass through this street.

He walked along and greeted several villagers who ran over.

"Lord Kyohiko."

"What's going on..."

Jingyan pointed at the street.

Hinata Shinji smiled and whispered, "This street belongs to everyone, and the head of the family doesn't want us to be too far away from the villagers."

Jingyan seemed to be thinking about something.

He glanced at the passers-by, then nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Very good! I want to see Senior Rizu, please inform him."

"No, the master of the family said that as long as he is at home, you can go in directly if you have something to do, and there is no need to stop him from reporting."

Hinata Shinji smiled, "Of course, if you need me to lead the way, I can help you."

"no need."

Jingyan was very surprised.

The changes in Japan are very thorough!
He walked into the yard, glanced around, and then couldn't help but re-examine Hinata Hiashi in his mind.

Less than two seconds.

Rizu came out quickly.

"Jingyan-kun, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Senior Rizu, I came to visit you today because I want to discuss something with you..."

"I was just practicing, I hope you don't mind."

Hiashi replied with a smile.

Jingyan shook his head: "How could that be? Training is what every ninja has to do."

Led by Rizu, he entered the house and looked around.

There have been some changes in Rizu's training room compared to last time.

The sense of oppression is reduced.

Outsiders will feel more relaxed and comfortable when they enter.

This means that Hiashi is making changes to suit the current trend of the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi himself may not really like such a development, but once the situation leads to this, he can quickly adjust and cater to it, allowing the Hyuga clan to turn in this direction.

not simple!
He retracted his gaze, bowed, and said, "Senior Rizu, there is no one around, so I will speak directly."

"Well, you and I both have things to do, so it's best to just be frank."

Hiashi smiled.

Kyōhiko explained to Hiashi the matter of the Uchiha clan imprisoned in the Anbu, during which he also observed Hiashi's expression and emotions.

very stable!
Rizu listened patiently and nodded slightly.

"I understand."

He pondered for a moment and smiled, "I am very happy that Jingyan-kun respects my Hyuga clan. Otherwise, with your talent and ability, I don't believe that you haven't developed a method similar to the curse seal."

Rizugong uttered only one sentence and then remained silent for a second or two.

Jingyan knew.

In this kind of situation, it is indeed impossible to expect the other party to make a decision all at once.

He smiled and said, "You can take your time to think about it. Besides, this may also reveal your family's secrets, so I will just give it a try. If it doesn't work, I will try another method."

"That's not the case. You misunderstood."

Hiashi shook his head.

He pondered for a long time and said, "My Hyuga clan actually longs for a chance to change. Your strength and talent have given me an opportunity to change... In fact, this has indeed helped me achieve my goal."

"The existence of caged birds is essentially to prevent their eyes from being taken, not to enslave the tribe."

"so……"

Rizu didn't finish his words, but his gaze and expression were clear.

"You want me to improve?"

Jingyan was a little stunned.

Rizu nodded: "The bird in the cage has a big flaw. It will leave a blind spot for the White Eyes. If it can be improved, the sealing ability can be retained without leaving any sequelae..."

Jingyan tapped the table with his fingers.

Is Hiashi planning to improve the Hyuga clan from family inheritance to an electoral system step by step?
Is he so determined?

No way?
and.

No matter what, Jingyan didn't believe that Hiashi would hand over the lifeblood of the Hyuga clan to outsiders.

Even myself.

"You want to learn the sealing technique?"

"As expected of you, Jingyan-kun. Also, I heard that the Second Generation also did some research on the soul. I wonder if I can borrow his notes on this?"

What Rizu mentioned was naturally the "art of spiritualization".

Back then, Dan relied on the spirit transformation technique to become a feared jonin that his enemies trembled in fear. Unfortunately, he died in the end because of this forbidden technique.

Jing Yan thought for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee it."

"No problem. As for your request, I can certainly help you. But the curse seal is in my hands, Hinata. Can they rest assured?"

What Hiashi was referring to was naturally the Uchiha clan.

Jing Yan smiled and said, "So, the choice is in their hands."

He stood up and nodded slightly.

"Since Senior has agreed, I will take my leave and discuss your request with the Hokage. I cannot make the decision on this matter."

Jingyan smiled helplessly.

The knowledge related to forbidden techniques is difficult for even him to access now, let alone Hiashi.

As for Orochimaru.

Not to mention that.

Orochimaru is now the most dangerous person in the village. If it weren't for Kyohiko and Tsunade, he would probably have been living a life under surveillance.

After leaving, Rizu breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and looked at the Hyuga clan's territory, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hinata, Kaguya...

Before, Jingyan had painted a big picture. Now, several pregnant women from the Kaguya clan have given birth one after another, but the contact and integration of the two clans is a big problem.

After all, the Kaguya clan still has two men, and Konoha supports their independence, so they can't possibly annex...

"Take your time, take your time!"

Hiashi muttered to himself in a low voice.

If one generation isn't enough, then two or three generations will do. As long as the Hyuga clan reproduces and spreads in Konoha and has a blood connection, they will definitely be the closest allies.

As for Jingyan.

Powerful and terrifying.

However, the Senju clan has disappeared. What can Jingyan, a descendant from another generation, do?
"Only family inheritance is eternal." (End of this chapter)
