As Hinata Hoshino looked at the increasingly luxurious control panel, she felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in another world.

“Hoshino-kun, I’m sorry, you just returned from a mission and should rest for a while. However, the Third Hokage was ambushed by the Three-Tails during the Kirigakure battle, and the situation is not good. I would appreciate it if you could come over.”

"Where's Jiraiya? Off gathering materials again?"

"Jiraiya-sensei and Tsunade-sama have already gone to the border of Sunagakure. Sunagakure has sent Pakura and Chiyo, but the situation there is not good either. Orochimaru is still researching the mysterious creature from before."

Hyuga Hoshino roughly understood that he and Namikaze Minato were the only high-level fighters left in front of him from Konoha, and that Namikaze Minato would make a move at the crucial moment.

Therefore, only Hyuga Hoshino remained as a high-level combatant who could move freely, so Namikaze Minato had no choice but to ask him to go to Kirigakure.

Shrugging, Hyuga Hoshino felt like he was destined to be a workaholic. But, drawing the Three-Tails? He wondered how it would feel.

"Fourth brother."

On the way to Kirigakure, Black Zetsu suddenly peeked out. Hyuga Hoshino suppressed a laugh, realizing he'd been fooled.

"Third Brother, what are your orders?"

"Fourth brother, please spare Sanwei's life on your journey, so that the grand plan can be completed."

"Excellent. The Three-Tailed Fox's defense is astonishing; I find it difficult to break through its defenses."

Black Zetsu nodded, agreeing. Did Black Zetsu not know whether he could break through the defenses? Hyuga Hoshino's words proved that he wouldn't kill the Three-Tails, but the Three-Tails would likely suffer.

Why did you impersonate Madara Uchiha before, using both Wood Release and the Mangekyou Sharingan?

It's all just for fun, scratch that.

To give Black Zetsu a shock, Hyuga Hoshino possesses both the Byakugan and Sharingan. No matter how you look at it, there's something fishy about him.

Without Hyuga Hoshino's guidance, Black Zetsu would at most have thought that Hyuga Hoshino's bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form.

With a few words from Hyuga Hoshino, Black Zetsu immediately realized that there was no more reasonable explanation than that Kaguya Otsutsuki was behind the incident on the moon.

Black Zetsu probably also wanted to take advantage of the situation and didn't completely believe that Hyuga Hoshino was Kaguya Otsutsuki's backup plan.

Hinata Hoshino looked up at the sky. With his Byakugan and Mangekyou Sharingan, his field of vision was wider, but he still couldn't see what was happening on the moon.

He was quite curious whether any overthrowing incidents had occurred among the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

"Roar, howl"

The Three-Tails' roar continued. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kaguya, Jonin Hozuki, and the head of the Yuki clan, after their battle that day, did not fight again.

After all, there was still a Three-Tails on the battlefield that could not distinguish friend from foe. Konoha and Kirigakure restrained themselves by sending their elite troops to bypass the Three-Tails and infiltrate the enemy's territory to carry out sabotage.

What was supposed to be a large-scale army battle suddenly took a different turn. Moreover, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, ever since they were reduced to a mere trio by Might Guy, harbored some psychological trauma towards Konoha and did not venture into the Land of Fire.

Among the Sarutobi clans, apart from Sarutobi Shinnosuke, there were no established elite Jonin, so the mission was assigned to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

The two sides were evenly matched, constantly sabotaging and hindering each other, creating a strange atmosphere.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the crazed Three-Tails with a solemn expression, rubbing his temples. As the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi was most famous for his forceful suppression of the Three-Tails and his forced use of its power.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for the Three-Tails to go berserk inside him, which Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand.

The three people opposite were even more confused; Yagura Karatachi didn't seem to be acting at all. They had originally thought that Yagura Karatachi was using the Three-Tails' rampage as a pretext to eliminate them, but it turned out that it wasn't like that at all.

Obito Uchiha stared at the Three-Tails, a maniacal gleam in his heart. "Rin, do you see this? I'm avenging you. Rin, wait a little longer, I will definitely create a world with you."

The Three-Tails has the strongest defense among the Tailed Beasts, but its attack power is somewhat lacking.

Of course, this is in terms of tailed beasts.

For ninjas below the Kage level, the best outcome of encountering a Tailed Beast is to leave with a complete corpse.

Hiruzen Sarutobi can use Enma to knock the Three-Tails off the battlefield, but it will soon crawl back.

"My lord, reinforcements from the village have arrived."

"Please."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was secretly delighted, but he remained outwardly calm. He knew that Minato Namikaze wouldn't give up on him easily.

Seeing that only Hyuga Hoshino had come, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not sad but happy. Hyuga Hoshino's strength had already been demonstrated during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

With Sage Mode, he can contend with the Nine-Tails. He can withstand the Three-Tails and seal it without much trouble.

Hiruzen Sarutobi declared that he had the advantage against Hoshino Hyuga against the Three-Tails. With that thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with complete confidence.

"Advisor Hyuga, please come with me."

At Hiruzen Sarutobi's signal, Shinnosuke Sarutobi took out a map and intelligence gathered over the past few days. Hoshino Hyuga yawned and nodded in agreement.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, somewhat displeased. Back when he was Hokage, which young man would have been so disrespectful to him?

Chapter 83 The Three-Tailed Beast's Lament

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed a few times, trying to get Hoshino Hyuga to straighten out his attitude. Hoshino Hyuga glanced at him, letting Hiruzen Sarutobi experience what it felt like to be looked down upon.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, then sighed. He was old, had lost his position, and had lost his former strength. What did he, Hiruzen Sarutobi, have left besides his eight thousand Sarutobi soldiers? What was he even worth?

The prestigious title of "Professor of Ninjutsu"? The empty title of "Strongest Hokage"? Or the meager reputation of "Mentor of the Three Legendary Sannin"?

Hiruzen Sarutobi forgot that he was also the destroyer of the Senju clan, the culprit behind Konoha's financial woes, the leader of the four Sarutobi clans, and the god of civil war.

"If the Third Hokage is feeling unwell, he may go and rest. The remaining official duties will be handled by Sarutobi Shinnosuke."

"cough cough"

"Advisor Hyuga, my father is just slightly unwell, it won't affect anything."

"Monkey, smoke less."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed more and more violently, and Shinnosuke Sarutobi could only pat his back to help him catch his breath.

The veins on Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead throbbed. Only Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had ever called him that. Even Danzo had never called him "monkey." Now, being called that by a junior made Hiruzen Sarutobi extremely angry.

However, Hyuga Hoshino still needs to shoulder the burden of the Three-Tails; there can be no conflict.

Looking at his aged hands, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to sigh, "If I were ten years younger, I could have given the Three-Tails a taste of the Five Elements Great Combo."

Hyuga Hoshino changed into the Tidal Sea Spirit Yuan Hua outfit, carrying a harpoon, and walked out of the Konoha camp, heading straight for the Three-Tails.

That mere giant turtle is subdued by me, the Tidal Sea Spirit.

Looking at Hyuga Hoshino's outfit, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed in the same way as Onoki: "What is this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi once again felt the sorrow of being out of touch with the times.

“You three tails, take my fork.”

Obito Uchiha, hidden in the shadows, watched the harpoon hurtling towards his face through the shared perspective of his Sharingan eye technique.

Obito Uchiha's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound. Judging from his lip movements, it wasn't anything nice.

Black Zetsu, observing from the shadows, suddenly thought that perhaps he should just pretend he didn't know Hyuga Hoshino. Whether or not he had this fourth brother seemed completely unimportant.

The three tails were in their shells when the harpoon struck one of them, breaking it in two.

"What a powerful turtle! It actually broke my turtle-taming fork."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke: I looked at the harpoon he was holding. When did it get such a fancy name?

The three-tailed beast suddenly lunged forward to strike, but Hyuga Hoshino dodged it with a quick movement technique.

Three-Tailed Fox: I think you're trying to fool me, you water turtle! Watch my Rocket Headbutt, eat me!

Having dodged the Three-Tails' head, the Three-Tails leaped, shrank its shell, transformed into a battle vehicle, and rolled towards Hyuga Hoshino.

The Three-Tails' ultimate taijutsu move, Shadow Brush. The Three-Tails version, Human Bomber.

Hyuga Hoshino flashed, and the Three-Tails crushed past him.

"Phew, I almost got run over by a car."

The three tails continue to be used, becoming round and rolling.

Aside from speed, no other attributes were increased. Previously, the Three-Tails had always fought using Tailed Beast Balls and Water Release techniques, and even the ninjas of Kirigakure were unaware that the Three-Tails could use such taijutsu.

The Three-Tails sped towards Hyuga Hoshino, but Hyuga Hoshino's Body Flicker Technique was so fast that the Three-Tails couldn't catch up at all.

The three-tailed beast paused, spat out a water cannon at the ground, leaped up, and adjusted its position.

It landed belly-down and spat out water cannons again. Hyuga Hoshino gasped. Had the Three-Tails been possessed by a water-spraying turtle? It had even mastered the spinning water cannon.

"Escape from the Earth·Yellow Spring Mire"

The land beneath the Three-Tails turned into a swamp. The Three-Tails used its Water Release technique to wet the swamp, and before it could react, it was trapped in the mud.

The Three-Tails stopped spinning, poked its head out, quickly condensed a small Tailed Beast Ball, slammed it into the ground, and escaped from the swamp.

His beast-like eyes stared intently at Hinata Hoshino.

Hyuga Hoshino's Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eyes, and he used it with his Mangekyou Sharingan and Byakugan to observe the structure of the Three-Tails.
