Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 197 Hurricane Escape and Sainthood

"Sasuke, you..."

After recovering from his shock, Uchiha Shisui naturally realized why Sasuke had awakened his Sharingan.

However, as the person who knows the Sharingan best, the reason why Sasuke suddenly awakened his Sharingan was undoubtedly far beyond his expectations.

It wasn't because I witnessed someone I cared about die, nor was it because of any negative emotional triggers.

Moreover, did he skip the one-tomoe Sharingan and directly awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan?
Although he had previously stopped Itachi from using Tsukuyomi on Sasuke, Shisui had assumed that Sasuke had poor talent in Sharingan because he hadn't been able to awaken his Sharingan even after witnessing his brother kill their mother.

As a result, I didn’t expect…

"Shisui-kun, everyone." Meeting their gazes, Sasuke said absentmindedly in a low voice, "The Uchiha clan will continue."

"I will definitely kill Uchiha Itachi with my own hands."

His tone contained no hatred or anger, only a chilling calm.

The initial confusion and disorientation in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by an unprecedented heaviness and resolve.

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Uchiha Shisui remained silent, his emotions a complex mix.

Pain, guilt, helplessness, bitterness, relief...

"Itachi," Shisui thought to himself, "Sasuke is far superior to you and me."

"Sasuke didn't awaken his Sharingan because he was in pain from losing someone he cared about, but because he had someone he cared about and wanted the power to protect them."

He will definitely not follow the path you chose for him.

Seeing this, Hinata Kumokawa's eyes flickered.

Despite witnessing his brother kill their parents, he couldn't even awaken a single tomoe Sharingan, yet now he has awakened a double tomoe Sharingan...

Although he secretly manipulated Sasuke's emotions, it was more because he saw the price Shisui paid for him and the greatest tolerance and acceptance his clan showed him.
"Compared to the emotional stimulation of pure hatred, is 'love' a greater stimulus to the Sharingan?" Hinata Kumokawa pondered in his heart, "Or rather, is it for 'protection'?"

Thinking about it this way, it seems that all Indras throughout history have been like this.

Indra awakened his Sharingan after witnessing a dog die protecting his younger brother; Madara Uchiha awakened his Sharingan to protect Izuna and sever ties with Hashirama Senju…

In the original work, Sasuke Uchiha awakened his Sharingan, except for the one-tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyou Sharingan, which were due to Itachi's Tsukuyomi and his death. The other times, they were all due to Naruto Uzumaki.

Later, Sasuke Uchiha's daughter, Sarada Uchiha, went even further, awakening her Sharingan just because she was about to see her long-lost father...

"Interesting." Hyuga Kumokawa smiled to himself, "I wonder what changes this Sasuke will undergo."

A Sasuke who isn't consumed by nothing but revenge, a Sasuke whose goal is to protect his clan and ensure the continuation of the Uchiha clan...

It seems that their fates have been swapped.

Upon seeing the ANBU ninja approaching from a distance after receiving the message, Hyuga Kumokawa silently disappeared into the crowd.

------

Time slips through your fingers like sand through your fingers.

The reconstruction of the village is proceeding in an orderly manner. The lingering smell of gunpowder has dissipated, the charred ruins have been cleared, and new buildings have sprung up overnight.

In the early morning, as the first light of dawn appeared, a thin mist enveloped the quiet Hyuga residence like a veil.

Inside the quiet room, Hinata Yunchuan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

The first ray of golden sunlight pierced through the thin mist and gently fell on his face through the window lattice. Only then did Hinata Kumokawa slowly open his eyes.

Those pure white eyes shone with a cool light, as blue as the sea after the ice and snow melted.

Hinata Kumokawa looked at the panel in front of him, the azure color in his eyes quietly disappearing into the depths.

Last night, the Tenseigan experienced its fourth fetal movement. According to Otsutsuki Toneri's experience in the original work, the fifth movement would be when the Tenseigan fully awakens.

He no longer needs to rely on the power of the giant Tenseigan to use the "Tenseigan Chakra Mode" as before.

However, he doesn't have a giant Tenseigan like Otsutsuki Toneri, and without the infusion of ocular power, the awakening speed of his Tenseigan is getting slower and slower.

"I hope Danzo and that old guy can act quickly," Hyuga Kumokawa thought to himself. "I need both the Byakugan and the soul." In addition, his strongest Wind Release and Lightning Release chakra nature transformations have reached their peak, and after merging, they have become "Hurricane Release."

"Bloodline Limit" is a technique that can only be inherited by blood relatives. Usually, only people of the same bloodline can inherit it, and others cannot learn it.

However, when the two chakra nature transformations reach their extremes and are then fused together, a "bloodline limit" can be created. Only a very few ninjas can develop their own "bloodline limit".

The reason why Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, was so strong was that he mastered the ultimate transformations of the three natures of wind, earth, and fire, and fused them together to create "Dust Release".

This is called "Bloodline Elimination," which is above "Bloodline Limit."

Hinata Kumokawa hasn't tried "Hurricane Release" yet, but rather "Shadow Domain" and "Saint Seiya"...

The Shadow Realm involves infusing spiritual energy into the shadows of two people or two objects. When one person or object enters their own shadow, they can appear in the shadow of the other person or object.

However, one cannot linger there for long; once the time is up, one's own shadow will forcibly pull one back to the original disguise.

The power of sanctification is simple and brutal: it can take back the spiritual energy of the 'Void' for its own use or bestow it upon other 'Voids'.

In other words, the more Hollows there are in the ninja world, the stronger their spiritual energy.

However, this body is, after all, human, not 'virtual', and cannot directly convert spiritual energy into power like 'virtual'.

The only result of doing that would be that the body would be burst open, turning into a 'void' like others. It could have a body like the 'Uzumaki' and the others, but it would ultimately not be a body of flesh and blood.

"It seems we still need to find a way to directly convert spiritual energy into physical strength."

"However, before that..."

Thinking it over, Hinata Kumokawa got up, walked to the door of the quiet room, and gently opened it.

Squeak.

The sound of the door opening was particularly clear in the quiet morning.

There was no one outside the door.

In the courtyard, a dark mass of figures stood in neat rows, like silent sculptures.

They were all wearing Hyuga clan attire, and each had a headband on their forehead.

Without a doubt, they are members of the Hyuga branch family, including genin, chunin, and jonin.

At this moment, their burning gazes were all focused on Hyuga Kumokawa, who had just stepped out of the door.

There is no doubt that the treatment of those who recently separated from their family has improved significantly.

In their view, all of this was undoubtedly thanks to Hinata Kumokawa.

Therefore, after receiving the Third Hokage's notice to summon all the ninja in the main branch, these branch family members unanimously came to find Hyuga Kumokawa instead of following the main branch as usual.

However, they did not realize that not everyone could accept that someone who had once treated them like a servant was suddenly on equal footing with them.

Moreover, some members of the branch family had lived a humble life for half their lives, and once they gained power, they inevitably lost their composure and their attitude towards the main family became disrespectful or even hostile.

In an effort to avenge the grievances suffered, conflicts arose more and more between the branch family and the main family.

In the past, if any disputes arose, at least the caged bird could be used to suppress them directly, but now there are no rules for rewards and punishments.

However, the members of the branch family only dare to use words to express their anger, while the members of the main family are also wary of the branch family's shared hatred and threats, and are only suppressing their anger under the instruction of someone.

As the members of the Hyuga branch family became increasingly arrogant, the members of the Hyuga main family grew increasingly frustrated. The entire Hyuga clan was like a powder keg, ready to explode into pieces at any moment.

But isn't this exactly what Hinata Kumokawa wanted?
Hinata Kumokawa's gaze was calm as he swept over the people in the courtyard, his face expressionless, as he slowly walked down the steps.

The members of the branch family made way for him, and he walked towards the Hokage Building.

"Let's go," he said.

"Yes." The crowd's voices were not loud, but they were perfectly synchronized.

They followed behind Hinata Kumokawa, forming a silent torrent.

However, when they reached the gate of the clan's territory, they were met by "Hyuga Hiashi" and the main clan members behind him with livid faces.

Hyuga Kumokawa and Hyuga Hizashi exchanged a glance.

One person's gaze was calm, while the other's was complex.

However, neither of them said anything, ignoring the hostile gazes of the people behind them, and each led their own people toward the Hokage Building.

During this time, a member of the clan looked displeased and wanted to say something, but his arm was grabbed.

The person who stopped him was none other than Hyuga Higo.

"..."

Higo Hyuga glanced at the backs of Hikawa Hyuga and the rest of the Hyuga branch family, a shadowy glint flashing in his narrowed eyes.

Keep being arrogant, you unruly stray dogs! The more arrogant you are, the more miserable your deaths will be!
Seeing his father's unusual behavior from behind, Hinata Aoi subconsciously frowned.

Thinking about the recent atmosphere in the main family, a sense of unease welled up in her heart.
