Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 374 Worried High-Ranking Officials from Various Countries

"how?"

Far from the battlefield in the desert, Hyuga Shizuka snapped out of her reverie, looked at Hyuga Miyuki who was speaking beside her, and silently nodded.

"No problem."

"That's good."

Miyuki Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, took out a blue psychic orb and handed it to Shizuka Hinata. "This is your final mission. After you complete it, you are free to do as you please—unless we need your assistance with scientific research experiments, we won't contact you again."

Hyuga Shizuka took the Spirit Orb, absorbing it while secretly glancing at Hyuga Miyuki. "If he wins, what will happen to the ninja world? Where will he lead it? Will he use that technique for evil?"

Hyuga Miyuki glanced at this junior member of the Hyuga clan, thought for a moment, and said:

"In Kaguya's era, the world operated according to Kaguya's will, until the Sage of Six Paths brothers rebelled. In the Sage of Six Paths' era, the world operated according to the Sage of Six Paths' will, until he grew old and his two sons became enemies. The same principle applies to the era of the First Hokage."

"The ninja world operates according to the will of the strong, and it always has been. If you're worried that he'll lead the ninja world astray and have different opinions, then become stronger, and then stand against him and refute him. You have that potential now."

"Huh?" Hyuga Shizuka was taken aback. "No, that's not what I meant. I meant to ask—"

Hinata Miyuki gently interrupted her, "I understand, but would you believe what I say? If you're seeking comfort, at least go to someone you trust. I'm his subordinate; seeking reassurance from me will only make you more uneasy."

"But you're the only one I have by my side right now, and you're at least from the same clan." Hyuga Shizuka thought to herself without saying it aloud, but from her expression, Hyuga Miyuki could roughly guess what was going on.

"There's only one thing I can say: do you want Kaguya to win?"

Hinata Miyuki pointed to the nearby village affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The people there were immersed in a dreamlike illusion, completely unaware of everything around them. The village's original vitality and energy had been stripped away, replaced by a deathly silence.

Looking at the village over there, Hyuga Shizuka shook her head helplessly. "I understand."

She had no choice from the beginning.

Whether for her own sake or for the greater good, helping Hinata Yu wholeheartedly is her only choice now.

Even if the other party wants to use divine magic to achieve their own plan.

"When the time is right, I will cooperate with him to unleash the divine spell."

While the two girls from the Hyuga family were talking, the high-ranking officials of the Allied Forces returned to the headquarters.

At this time, the Snow Country army here was also affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, with only a portion of its personnel unharmed.

Therefore, after the Allied forces' high command returned, the Snow Country troops, led by Tobirama, had no choice but to withdraw, leaving behind a devastated battlefield.

As for the Akatsuki and Kara forces, they hurriedly left after hearing the news that Nagato had been possessed by Kaguya, and the Allied Forces didn't pay any attention to it.

After returning to headquarters, Tsunade, Huang Tu, and other high-ranking Allied Forces officers immediately went to the Sensory Department.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out, the Allied Forces set up a giant sensory water sphere in their headquarters, which could monitor the situation of almost the entire Shinobi World.

This sensory water sphere is extremely sensitive. As long as it is within the ninja world's range, it can capture some information, more or less. It is now perfect for observing that earth-shattering battle.

Even though they had expected it, Tsunade and the others still found it hard to remain calm when they saw the cone-shaped sensory sphere.

The once uniform surface of the sphere now has a prominent bulge.

"Is their chakra so vast that the sensory orbs can only demonstrate their existence in this way?" Huang Tu murmured. "What terrifying power. Are we really their match?"

This question silenced everyone present.

opponent?

Any ninja who has witnessed such a battle scene would not dare to recognize these two characters.

That was a walking natural disaster, a god powerful enough to destroy the world!

How dare they, a bunch of ordinary people, fight them?

Tsunade glanced at Huang Tu quietly, without stopping him from emitting a low-pressure aura, and turned to look at Shikaku.

"Shikaku, are they constantly moving? Are they clashing using space-time ninjutsu? Who has the upper hand?"

The position of the protrusions on the perception sphere representing chakra intensity has been changing, changing four times since their arrival.

That kind of speed can only be achieved through space-time ninjutsu.

"That's right."

Shikaku had been observing for some time and had reached a conclusion. Upon hearing this, he immediately replied:

"Although it's impossible to observe due to the intense chakra fluctuations at the core of the battlefield, some details suggest..."

Hyuga Yu should have the advantage.

"Why? Is Hyuga Uta stronger than Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra?"

Huang Tu came to his senses and asked in confusion, "Although I've only seen it a few times, I think Kaguya's moves are clearly more powerful."

This is also why he was depressed. After all, Kaguya's power is stronger. If she wins, there might not even be a chance to communicate, and the Land of Earth will have to go down to accompany the Land of Wind.

Shikaku: "Because of the chakra fluctuations, Kaguya's chakra fluctuations were constantly increasing, continuously raising her output. Hyuga's chakra fluctuations, however, remained calm, staying within a certain range."

"Hyuga Yu remained calm and restrained throughout the battle, unaffected by Kaguya's immense power, and instead constantly adapted and adjusted his own rhythm. You two should understand very well what this means in ninja combat."

Lu Jiu paused for a moment, then continued to explain:

"Although Kaguya is powerful, based on the information we have so far, her fighting style focuses on strength and neglects technique and strategy. This is a major taboo in ninja battles."

Even powerful ninjas like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju possessed analytical abilities far exceeding the standard during battle.

Once they gather intelligence on the enemy, they can make targeted deployments, making the battle much more effective.

But Kaguya wasn't a ninja and didn't have that habit.

As the battle progresses, she is continuously sending intelligence to Hinata Yu, and sooner or later she will suffer because of it.

Just as Shikaku finished explaining, a ninja from the Sensory Department suddenly reported: "Report! The chakra reaction on the Sensory Orb is changing drastically!"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the sensing water sphere, where the protruding part began to fluctuate violently, as if a fierce battle was taking place inside.

"Their battle has entered a fierce stage," Shikaku said. "We must prepare for the worst."

Shikaku's words plunged everyone present into deep thought, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

If Hyuga wins, then there's no need to fight this war; they'll have no choice but to surrender, and most people don't want to face that kind of future.

But if Kaguya wins, the consequences will be equally unimaginable.

As the progenitor of chakra, he was sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths. The Infinite Tsukuyomi, which is closely related to his resurrection, is also a technique with immense danger, making him seem even more dangerous than Hyuga Yu.

Neither of these outcomes is a good one.

Are there better options?

Some high-ranking coalition officials were secretly worried.
