Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Obito Uchiha could only seek help from Hoshino Hyuga; Black Zetsu was probably powerless to help in this situation.

Kakuzu, Black Zetsu's tool, is still searching for employers at various bounty offices, mainly because he hasn't completed his missions and wants a refund.

Kakuzu emerged from the bounty office and, in the outward-facing restroom, looked at the unreturned banknotes in his hand. He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "So fragrant! Wow, so luxurious!"

Aside from the fragrance in the toilet, there's nothing wrong with it.

As night fell, Hyuga Hoshino and Tsunade sat solemnly at the table, as if nothing had happened during the day, quietly waiting for their little maid, Hyuga Natsu, to serve the food.

From the Byakugan's perspective, a white Zetsu was quietly approaching, still paddling through the ground like a dog.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

"Wood Release·Wood Clone."

The Wood Clone Technique is arguably the best clone-type ninjutsu in Naruto; even the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot distinguish between the Wood Clone and the original body.

Based on the timeline analysis, during this period, only Obito Uchiha would be anxious to find him. With the epic dungeon about to open, how could he not find a helper, form a team, and defeat the BOSS together?

However, given Obito Uchiha's status, sending a wood clone to see him was already giving him a lot of face.

The main body went back to the gathering, while the wood clone left the toilet, slapped the ground with its palm, and natural energy gathered, enveloping the White Zetsu, and pulled the White Zetsu out of the ground like a chick.

"Hey, hello, White Zetsu."

"Hello, Lord Hoshino, Lord Madara, we wish to see you."

"Let's go, lead the way."

White Zetsu burrowed into the ground and led Hyuga Tokuma all the way to the memorial monument.

Hinata Hoshino had a strange feeling that he was dancing on a grave, when he looked up and saw Uchiha Obito standing in front of a stone tablet with his name engraved on it.

How to put it... It's like a neighboring big shot using Danzo's Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then using White Zetsu's Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect the other three Hokage, all to watch Hiruzen Sarutobi get buried together.

"You came."

"Obito Uchiha, looking at your own grave? What do you think? Is the feng shui good or not? Let me tell you, I know a very capable grave robber."

"Call me Uchiha Madara. No need for feng shui."

"Okay, Obito Uchiha, no problem, Obito Uchiha. Then I won't introduce him."

Ignoring the hysterical Hyuga Hoshino, Obito Uchiha continued to explain his plan.

"Hyuga Hoshino, I need your help."

"Oh, interesting, Madara Uchiha never asks for favors."

Obito Uchiha was somewhat weakened.

"I need you to lure away at least the three legendary ninjas on the day Kushina Uzumaki gives birth."

Obito Uchiha unconsciously raised his voice, making it sound like a command.

"Tu Zi, I'm glad you remembered me, but I don't like the way you said it to me."

The system's copying opportunity has not been refreshed, so there is no way to copy Obito Uchiha's ability, Kamui. It's one of the most outrageous abilities in the entire Naruto series, at the Mangekyou Sharingan level.

Hyuga Hoshino naturally didn't want to let this opportunity pass. Moreover, he now possessed ocular power equivalent to a three-tomoe Sharingan. If he could truly replicate Kamui, Hyuga Hoshino might be able to acquire his own Mangekyou Sharingan, making it a good deal.

Obito Uchiha activated Kamui and left the memorial monument. Although the communication was very unpleasant, Obito Uchiha was at least able to confirm that Hoshino Hyuga had agreed.

Actually, Hyuga Hoshino really wanted to see the scene of the three legendary Sannin fighting Obito; it would definitely be a memorable moment.

Hyuga Hoshino decided that on that day, she and Uchiha Obito would cosplay as Uchiha Madara. The maniacal laughter of the leader of the Uchiha Four Laughing Heroes is not easy to imitate.

He felt he needed to improve his acting skills; if his bed partner Tsunade found out, he'd be truly dead.

Hinata Hoshino decided to try out the lines first, even though there was no script yet and the actors' positions on the day were uncertain.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha."

"Apart from Hashirama and me, everyone else in the world is just a bunch of chickens and dogs."

“These mere grains of sand are nothing compared to me, Uchiha Madara.”

"Hahaha, you broke through my defenses? I just wanted to show you what Hashirama is like in front of me."

A series of ghostly wails and howls led to the first urban legend in Konoha: a memorial stone with eerie laughter at midnight.

When the clone dissipated, Hinata Hoshino nearly spat out his food. The impact was so great that Hinata Hoshino felt as if he had seen an ancient god, and his sanity plummeted.

Hyuga Natsu walked behind Hyuga Hoshino to pat him on the back. For a moment, Hyuga Hoshino felt that having privileges in the Naruto world was a good thing.

Thinking back to my conversation with Obito Uchiha, it seems there's something I forgot to ask him.

Hinata Hoshino: This is a maid, given to me by my grandfather. Do you have one?

Hinata Tokuma sensed something was off at the dinner table and remained silent.

Tsunade was frantically drinking sake, while Shizune was trying to dissuade her. Tsunade quickly finished a mere dozen bottles of sake, letting out two burps.

Tsunade started acting crazy while drunk, picked up Hyuga Hoshino, and headed towards his room.

"In the afternoon, if the score remains tied, let's continue, let's continue."

Hinata Hoshino shrugged helplessly, placing the Four Symbols Seal around the room to block out sound.

Hyuga Tokuma's hand, which was holding chopsticks, trembled. Once Tsunade regained consciousness, she shouldn't kill him? Shouldn't she?

Jingyin was also a little nervous. She really hadn't expected that the problem between them was because of this.

Chapter 54 Minato Namikaze's Recruitment

A weary traveler arrived at the gates of Konoha. Having received a message from Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya decided to return to the village and abandon his research trip.

Jiraiya jumped into the Hokage's office through the window. Hyuga Hoshino was handing over a mission. Hyuga Hoshino didn't complete it seriously, but he did make a record of the terrain he had passed through.

"Hey, isn't this... the Lustful Immortal?"

"Jiraiya-sensei, could you please use the door next time? Please."

"Haha, isn't this Hoshino-kun? Minato, sorry, I used to use the windows, I'll definitely use the doors from now on."

"Fourth Hokage, I'll take my leave now."

After Hinata Hoshino finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but Namikaze Minato called out to stop him. He currently did not have his own team, and Hinata Hoshino was a good target.

Therefore, the best way for Minato Namikaze to express goodwill was through trust. Having Hyuga Hoshino listen in on the master-disciple reunion signified that Minato considered Hyuga Hoshino one of his own, and people in the Naruto world generally accept this kind of gesture.

"Hoshino-kun, please stay and listen in."

Jiraiya didn't care about Hyuga Hoshino who stayed behind; he just wanted to catch up with Namikaze Minato and also check on Uzumaki Kushina's situation.

"Minato, during this trip, I discovered that the Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja are preparing for war and seem quite restless."

“Jiraiya-sensei, we’ve just finished a war, so I don’t think they’ll start another one so soon. But just to be on the safe side, I’ll have the Anbu investigate.”

"Has Kushina's due date been confirmed?"

"Not yet, Lady Biwako. After the examination, it is determined that Kushina's due date is at least two months away."

"Oh, oh, oh, have you chosen a name yet?"

"We have decided to name it after Jiraiya-sensei, the character in the book, Naruto."

When Jiraiya heard the first part, he was startled. "My book seems a bit inappropriate," he thought. But when Minato Namikaze uttered the second half of the sentence, Jiraiya relaxed.

"So I did write a serious book," Hinata Hoshino noticed the change in Jiraiya's expression.

"You lecherous immortal, are you thinking, 'Thank goodness I've written serious books before'?"

Jiraiya's expression stiffened, Minato Namikaze's smile faltered, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat strange.

"So Jiraiya-sensei has other works?"

"Hahaha, Minato, the other books are not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Minato Namikaze resumed his smiling face, and Jiraiya scratched his head in agreement, changing the subject.

"Minato, I'll be going now. I need to catch up with Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the others."

Jiraiya arrived at the Senju family ancestral home with sake, and Hiashi Hyuga, as promised, cleaned the Senju family ancestral home, making it look brand new.

Jiraiya looked around the clean Senju ancestral home, but there was no sign of anyone living there, and scratched his head.

"Tsunade, where did you go?"

Several members of the Hyuga branch family carried brand-new furniture toward the Senju ancestral home.

"Hey, Hyuga clan brothers. Have you seen Tsunade these past few days?"

"It's Jiraiya-sama. First, I'm not calling him 'Hey.' Second, Tsunade-sama is a guest at the Grand Elder's house."

"Thank you, Hyuga family, the guy who doesn't call me 'Hey'."

In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze had the Anbu prepare a chair for Hoshino Hyuga and gestured for him to sit down.

"Fourth Hokage, what is this?"

Hyuga Hoshino sat down without any hesitation, showing no courtesy to Namikaze Minato.

"I hope that Hoshino-kun can join the Anbu and become my Anbu leader."

A straight ball made Hyuga Hoshino feel Minato Namikaze's sincerity and his current predicament.

The only people who truly belonged to Minato Namikaze were Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, Aoba Yamashiro, and Iwashi Tsutsumi, the four members of his guard.

He lacked manpower, the most important of which was a deputy. Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi had his F4, he was no exception.

Once Minato Namikaze secures his position as Hokage, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans will inevitably side with him, but he has only recently assumed the position.

After thinking it over, Hinata Hoshino decided that being a pay thief wasn't so bad.

Minato Namikaze stood up and reached out his hand to Hoshino Hyuga. Minato had clearly noticed Hoshino's hesitation and decided to increase his sincerity.

"Alright, thank you for your kindness, Fourth Boss. However, let me make it clear beforehand that you can offer advice and suggestions, but I will decide on the missions myself."

“Alright, but the Anbu doesn’t seem to be a good fit for Hoshino-kun. Starting tomorrow, Hoshino-kun will be my Hokage advisor and will need to come in every day.”

Hyuga Hoshino extended his hand to shake hands with Namikaze Minato, whose smile grew even brighter.

Following Uchiha Madara, Hyuga Hoshino has gained another superior. Congratulations!

On Jiraiya's way to the Hyuga mansion, Kushina Uzumaki was on her way home after grocery shopping, with Biwako beside her. When she saw Jiraiya, she greeted him.
