Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"Am I a member of their clan?"

"Yes, you are very smart."

Are they powerful?

"They were very powerful, and their mastery of sealing techniques made them the strongest members of the ninja clan."

Why did they exterminate their entire clan?

“Powerful, but not that powerful, not as powerful as a ninja village.”

"A ninja village? A ninja village like Kusagakure?"

“A powerful ninja village far beyond your imagination. You’ve been talking too much. All you need to know is that there are members of your clan in a certain great ninja village, and she will take good care of you.”

Karin Uzumaki obediently shut her mouth and stopped talking.

"System, copy."

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. Do you wish to fuse with it?]

"Fusion."

On the panel, the words "incomplete after the Otsutsuki bloodline" disappeared, and a warm current surged through his body, causing Hyuga Hoshino to shiver involuntarily.

Karin was startled and struggled for a moment, but Hyuga Hoshino slapped her, and Karin calmed down.

Chapter 77 An Encounter with the White Zetsu Squad

The completion of the Otsutsuki bloodline gave Hyuga Hoshino a strange feeling; his chakra became increasingly at his fingertips. Wood Release and other bloodline limits no longer required movement; he could activate them at will.

The chakra level did not increase; only the barrier disappeared. It's similar to upgrading from 100/100 to 100/1000.

Once the experience points are filled, the chakra will officially advance.

As the Body Flicker Technique was activated, Hyuga Hoshino clearly sensed a reduction in chakra consumption and a significant increase in speed. He felt that the enhancement from the Otsutsuki bloodline was far more than what he could currently perceive.

At the entrance of Kusagakure, Kakashi Hatake and Shisui Uchiha were waiting. Kakashi Hatake took out the prepared backpack and slung it over his shoulder.

Hinata Hoshino stuffed Uzumaki Karin into his backpack, leaving only a gap for him to breathe.

No matter how you look at it, Konoha is the epitome of righteousness and honor, so it's not good for them to openly and honestly recruit people.

Therefore, they steal people and leave openly.

The leader of Kusagakure Village, unaware of the gravity of the situation, waved a white handkerchief and bid farewell to Hyuga Hoshino and the other two.

"Chief, something terrible has happened! Chief, a major incident has occurred in the medical department."

"What's wrong with you? You're the one who's wrong."

The leader of Kusagakure was taken aback. What did he say?

"Say it again, where did the accident happen?"

"Medical Department, it's the Medical Department."

"What's going on? Where are the guards? A bunch of good-for-nothings."

"Chief, the guards are gone too. Everyone in the medical department, including that woman, is dead."

"Uh."

The leader of Kusagakure felt dizzy and lightheaded. Although it was said that all the ninjas of Kusagakure could go to the medical department, those who went yesterday were all the elites of Kusagakure.

He didn't have many men to rely on as his leader. If it weren't for the fact that some of his elite troops hadn't been injured, he could truly be described as a lone wolf.

After leaving Kusagakure for a while, Hyuga Hoshino took out Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai and channeled chakra into it.

“歘”

Minato Namikaze appeared, looked at the three unharmed people, and scratched his head, wondering what happened.

"Here's a surprise for you."

Hyuga Hoshino snatched Kakashi Hatake's backpack, and Uzumaki Karin peeked out, her red hair catching Minato's eye. Uzumaki Kushina now had company.

"This is?"

"The blood packs hidden in the Grass Village can heal injuries and restore chakra with a bite."

Minato Namikaze, out of love for Naruto, looked at Karin Uzumaki with affection. Since Naruto Namikaze came into his life, Minato Namikaze has become more and more like a loving father.

Minato Namikaze took the backpack, nodded, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and returned to the village.

Nara Shikaku was helping Namikaze Minato with some tasks when, in a flash, Namikaze Minato disappeared.

Nara Shikaku: This is the first time I've seen a Hokage use this method to avoid work.

Nara Shikaku rubbed his hair, looking at the large number of documents, and felt like crying.

The Nara family is notoriously lazy; making them handle so many documents would be worse than killing them.

Whoosh! Minato Namikaze returns, and Shikaku Nara's hope is rekindled.

"Watergate……"

"Shikaku, I'm counting on you for today's work."

In the Hokage's office, only Nara Shikaku, who had raised his hand like Er Kang, remained.

"Kushina, guess what I brought?"

Kushina Uzumaki, radiating maternal love, smiled as she looked at Naruto Namikaze.

"Yes, an explosive tag or a soldier's ration pill. Or, a book with a particularly long name."

"Haha, none of those are it, it's a person."

Minato Namikaze picked up his backpack, while Karin Uzumaki looked around blankly. Whoosh, to the Hokage's office. Whoosh, to Minato Namikaze's house.

Karin was a little dizzy, so Kushina picked her up and rubbed against her like she was a kitten.

Kushina Uzumaki's incredible regenerative abilities—she nearly died a few months ago, but now she can easily lift Karin Uzumaki in her arms.

Kakashi Hatake watched Minato Namikaze rush by and felt a little disappointed. They hadn't even exchanged a single word!

"Let's go, children, on our way. I hope Kushina Uzumaki will like this gift."

From Hyuga Hoshino's Byakugan perspective, several familiar faces suddenly appeared: Maruboshi Kosuke, Uchiha Shisui, the extras from the Uzuki family, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and Uchiha Tetsuka.

Hyuga Hoshino turned to look at Uchiha Shisui, leaving Uchiha Shisui somewhat puzzled.

Uchiha Shisui instinctively felt oppressed by the people of Lezi.

"Hiss, is that me? Who am I?"

Uchiha Shisui stared directly at the replica of himself, gasped in shock. The chakra aura was exactly the same as his own, and even the subtle movements associated with the Body Flicker Technique were identical.

"Kousuke-senpai? That little brat from the Uzuki family?"

"Uchiha Tetsuka?"

After Hyuga Hoshino finished talking about Maruboshi Kosuke and the extras from the Uzuki family, Hatake Kakashi barely recognized them as Uchiha Tekka based on their clan crest.

"Advisor, who are these people?"

"I don't know, maybe they are half-brothers who were separated for many years."

“Advisor, although I only use one eye most of the time, I am not blind. It is impossible for two people to have exactly the same chakra aura.”

"Ha, not bad. Let's get started!"

Hyuga Hoshino suddenly sprang into action, using his Body Flicker Technique to accelerate his attack, delivering a punch to White Zetsu Shisui. Uchiha Shisui felt a phantom pain on his face.

Kakashi Hatake revealed his left eye, the three tomoe swirling as he drew his standard Anbu katana and aimed directly at Kosuke White Zetsu's left leg.

"Chong"

White Zetsu Kosuke drew his sword to parry, and the White Zetsu figure of Uzuki split into three.

"Dance of the Crescent Moon"

Kakashi Hatake was depressed for many years due to the loss of his relatives and friends, and his Sharingan consumed too much chakra.

Before the main storyline began, his strength had improved only slightly. Now that Minato and Kakashi Hatake are still alive, he still has motivation.

Not long ago, he picked up his family's swordsmanship again, and now he wields the katana with considerable skill.

With a swift turn of his blade, he used the momentum to annihilate two phantoms, holding the sword in one hand and a kunai in the other, blocking the blade of Uzuki Hakuzosu.

White Zetsu Kosuke, the blade trembled slightly.

"Konoha-ryu - Willow"

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, countered the sword techniques created by the Uchiha by swaying his blade and using chakra to unleash genjutsu to disrupt their attacks.

Kakashi Hatake understood the essence of this sword technique, so he didn't look at the blade, but instead focused on Kosuke's wrist.

The kunai covered the Lightning Release chakra and transmitted it to the White Zetsu. The White Zetsu's ability to copy was incredible; he could basically copy ninjutsu, taijutsu, and memories. However, his reaction speed was a bit lacking.

Before he could react, White Zetsu was struck by Kakashi Hatake's electric shock. As the shock ended, smoke rose from White Zetsu's body, and he collapsed to the ground, reverting to his original White Zetsu form.

Kakashi Hatake's eyes narrowed; it was indeed a fake. However, Kakashi's movements were unaffected. He discarded his kunai and continued to clash with Kosuke of the White Zetsu with one hand.

"Sizzle, sizzle"

Kakashi Hatake condensed his Lightning Blade and thrust it at Kosuke, the White Zetsu. Kosuke, wielding the blade with both hands, forced Kakashi Hatake back. He quickly formed hand seals.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall, Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"

The Water Wall weakened the Lightning Release, and the Earth Wall blocked it, but it was still mercilessly pierced by Kakashi Hatake.

White Zetsu Kosuke withdrew and retreated, moving away from Kakashi Hatake's palm. Four hand seals were instantly formed.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet"

Chapter 78 Still Water: Who Killed Me, Whom Did I Kill?

Kakashi Hatake is engaged in a fierce battle with Kosuke White Zetsu, while Hoshino Hyuga is utterly beating Shisui White Zetsu.

This intensified the phantom pain in Uchiha Shisui, who was fighting White Zetsu Tekka. No, he needed to finish off Tekka quickly and give himself a quick death.

White Zetsu Shisui activated his Body Flicker Technique, creating more than a dozen White Zetsu Shisuis. Uchiha Shisui's unique Body Flicker Technique can simultaneously create several physical phantoms.
