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

Chapter 42 The Fourth Shinobi World War is coming!
hum!
Hinata Kumokawa stretched out his palm, about to grasp the black bead.

But the next moment, his movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes twitched slightly as he looked in the other direction.

escaped.

Yes, that guy Hiruko actually escaped. Without any hesitation, he used Swift Escape to get away.

If you wanted to chase him, he really couldn't catch up.

Hinata Kumokawa had never encountered such a shameless person before. As a senior, he made a few harsh remarks upon meeting, and after being punched, he activated his bloodline limit and fled in panic. Even Orochimaru, who valued his life so much, would not do such a thing.

This guy is quite the perceptive mouse; he ran away as soon as he caught the slightest hint of danger.

"pity."

Hyuga Kumokawa sighed, touched his eyes which were stinging from the baby's movements, and thought to himself, "I still want to try out my new ability. At the very least, I'll ask Hiruko to pass on my regards to my dear Orochimaru-sama."

With that thought in mind, he raised his head and looked at the panel in front of him.

[Bloodline: Otsutsuki Clan (6.8% → 9.8%)]

[Bloodline Limit: Tenseigan - Stage 2 (22.3% → 30.2%) [Abilities: Heart Chakra Binding Seal, Jade Wheel Soul Devouring Explosion, Chakra Rosary]]

Looking at the 9.8% Otsutsuki bloodline, Hyuga Kumokawa's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered, "No wonder Otsutsuki Toneri was able to start using the Tenseigan in such a short time after transplanting the Pure Byakugan."

It's important to know that Madara Uchiha spent the rest of his life before his death after transplanting Hashirama's cells, and it's unlikely that Toneri Otsutsuki, despite his strong bloodline, could awaken the Tenseigan in just a few days.

It now seems likely that it's due to that giant Tenseigan, which gathers the eye power of all the members of the Otsutsuki clan.

Although the connection with the giant Tenseigan on the moon has been severed, the feedback of his ocular power has greatly accelerated his Tenseigan awakening process. It is likely that Otsutsuki Toneri also awakened his Tenseigan thanks to that giant Tenseigan.

"However, Hiruko has reminded me." Hyuga Kumokawa thought of the Oni-Garra Technique and pondered, "Logically speaking, since he possesses the Otsutsuki bloodline, he should be able to awaken other bloodline limits."

For example, the Corpse Bone Pulse.

For example, Wood Release.

So, what's still missing?
"We're just missing a key." A smile appeared on Hyuga Kumokawa's lips. "The chakra and cells of a bloodline ninja."

As long as the latent gene fragments in his body are activated, given the purity of his bloodline in his current body, he should also be able to awaken other bloodline limits.

Moreover, this seems to complete his Otsutsuki bloodline, since Otsutsuki Toneri is ultimately not the end of the Otsutsuki bloodline.

"Hyuga Kumokawa!"

A solemn voice came from afar, indicating that Hyuga Kumokawa had noticed he had fallen behind and was coming to find him.

Hinata Kumokawa snapped out of his thoughts and chased after the sound.

If the ninja world continues to maintain this fragile and false peace, he will have no chance to leave the village to set up any schemes, let alone plunder bloodline ninjas from other villages.

Therefore, war.

War! War is a necessary prerequisite!
Meanwhile, Hinata Kumokawa had caught up with the group and explained that he was using his Byakugan to observe the lingering effects of the battle in the distance.

At the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, a woman unfolds a spirit scroll in a cave.

Bang!
As a cloud of smoke exploded and dissipated, a disheveled Beirukhu appeared.

"Lord Beiluhu! How could you..."

Upon seeing this, the woman's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly went to help him up, but was pushed away by Hiruko.

"Damn it! Damn it! You mere brat from the Hyuga clan..." Hiru cried out in hatred.

Just as he was annoyed by his own disheveled state, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.

"Heh heh." The laughter seemed to be androgynous, with two voices mixed together. "Our Lord Beiluhu is really in a sorry state."

Hiruko suddenly looked up into the depths of the cave and saw the dark figure wriggling towards him. He also smelled the peculiar, strong odor, and his face showed an uncontrollable look of disgust.

Having frequently experimented with mice and snakes, he naturally understood what that tasted like.

When a female snake is in heat, it will release a thick, brown secretion with a strong, distinctive odor from its cloaca to attract male snakes.

That's the smell of that brown, viscous secretion.

"Orochimaru," Hiruko said coldly, "if you're in heat, go outside and do it there, don't disgust me!"

"Heh." Orochimaru's tone was indifferent. "Isn't your soul the same? Just as ugly and disgusting as mine." ————————

At 10 a.m., nearing noon, in the Hokage's office.

The sparse sunlight shone through the half-open window onto the mahogany table, but was completely blocked by the mountain of documents piled up together.

rustling.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in a chair, flipping through the documents on the table with one hand while expertly holding his pipe with the other.

"call!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi brought the cigarette holder to his lips, the tobacco in the butt glowing faintly, and a few wisps of white smoke rose with each exhale, the fine dust being carried out of the window by the wind.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi choked on his breath after taking a deep drag, his brows furrowing as he let out a slightly hoarse cough.

But after the itching sensation in his throat subsided, he still took a puff without stopping.

"Ahem! Hiruzen, haven't you been smoking too much these past few days?"

Mitokado Yan sat on a chair against the wall on the other side, far away from the window that was constantly emitting smoke and dust, and reminded her, "I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, but you should still take care of your health, right?"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no intention of responding. He simply lowered his head and began to peruse the letters that had been sent back the day before. In fact, he had read these letters hundreds of times, but he still felt somewhat uneasy.

It has been three days since the team escorting Hyuga Hiashi's body left Konoha. Normally, it would only take two days at most to travel from Konoha to the border, and the letter that Akimichi Tou sent back through the ninja beasts a day ago also proved this.

In the first letter, Akimichi Toudou said that the escort team was not far from their destination, but in the second letter, Akimichi Toudou mentioned that they had encountered a group of Iwagakure rogue ninjas along the way.

In his letter, he not only assured the team of their safety and the absence of any casualties, but also praised Hinata Kumokawa's abilities and character.

While Hiruzen Sarutobi was delighted that Hyuga Kumokawa might be able to shoulder the great responsibility, he was also uneasy about the unexpected appearance of the Iwagakure rogue ninja, and it had been a whole day since the last letter had been sent.

It shouldn't have taken this long.

Could it be that Iwagakure is going to get involved too?
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked worried and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Boom!dong dong!

Just as Mitokado Homura was about to remind Hiruzen Sarutobi to smoke less, hurried and flustered footsteps suddenly came from outside the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw a masked ANBU ninja walk into the office.

"Lord Third Generation! The escort team has returned, but..."

The ANBU ninja clutched a blood-stained scroll tightly in his hand. Before he could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi vanished and reappeared in front of him, snatching the scroll away.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the scroll and quickly scanned it with his eyes, his pupils contracted, his aged face paled slightly, and fear and anger appeared on his face at the same time.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand was trembling as he held the scroll, Homura Mitokado, who was standing beside him, immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly stood up, asking, "Hiruzen! What happened! Speak up!"

"War, war, how could this happen..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned pale and then red, and he even raised his hand to clutch his chest in pain, his voice hoarse as he said, "The Fourth Shinobi World War is coming!"

"What?" Mitokado Yan was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed.

I wrote this in too much of a hurry yesterday, and readers corrected a few points.

①Although it feels a bit strange that someone without the Ten-Tails can use Truth-Seeking Balls, and the Truth-Seeking Balls' ability to destroy everything wasn't shown, I only saw Otsutsuki Hamura using Truth-Seeking Balls in the anime, manga, and official guidebooks, and it wasn't mentioned what the black ball Otsutsuki Toneri used was. Plus, the fanfiction I read before also mentioned Truth-Seeking Balls, so I ended up writing it as Truth-Seeking Balls.

However, when I saw a comment from a reader @霖梦 saying that it's called "prayer beads," I suddenly remembered the original work and the novel's biography (similar to Itachi's True Story), so I took a look and found that it was actually mentioned, not a fan fiction setting.

"The original text reads: 'Toneri used one of the chakra beads to make a huge birdcage and imprisoned Hinata inside.'"

So it has now been changed to chakra prayer beads, and the prayer beads used by the protagonist have been changed to two beads.

②I got a bit carried away writing yesterday and wrote that the protagonist asked Troy Raikage A which generation he was. I forgot that we're not far from the founding of the village, so I changed it to asking about the Ninja Clan. If you read this earlier, you can go back and take a look at the revised version.

Finally, thank you all for your comments. I will read them all and correct any mistakes. I just hope you will be kind in your comments QAQ.

By the way, I'd like to ask for your monthly votes. We're almost at 1000! I'll add more chapters once it's officially released. Thank you! QAQ
