Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 51 The Battle for Fame

Hyuga Yu didn't want to comment on the First Hokage. If he had to say what he thought of him, it would probably be a mix of regret and admiration.

Limited by his knowledge and vision, Hashirama Senju did not think about political systems. He simply held the most basic and naive idea: to give the ninjas and children a safe and secure home.

Was he wrong?

Did the one-country-one-village system lead to even more devastating wars?

Hashirama Senju has already taken action; compared to most people in the thousand-year history of the ninja world, he has at least made a change.

Times change, and whether something is suitable for the current situation is something that people of today need to consider.

It was already an achievement to end the Warring States period; there's no need to be overly critical of it.

At least the one-country-one-village system brought together the various ninja clans, making the chaotic situation clearer.

However, in the future, such a system will limit the power of the ninja world.

The Otsutsuki are a clan, and Hyuga Yu wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he could fight against all the Otsutsuki by himself.

Naruto and Sasuke both lost their powers in battles, so he needs to be fully prepared.

Since none of the major ninja villages want to change, let them use the accumulated resources of the ninja world over the past thousand years.

Looking at Minato, who was smiling and waiting for him ahead, Hyuga Yu felt nothing.

Are you able to accept this change, Minato?

Because of the angle of the sunlight, Minato could only see Hinata in the shadows of the command room, which made him feel a little strange. However, as Hinata stepped out of the shadows, that feeling disappeared instantly.

"Yu, Orochimaru-senpai has given me the information. We'll be setting off in two hours."

"No problem." Hinata Yu nodded.

Minato smiled and turned his gaze to the Third Hokage and Orochimaru who were walking out of the command room. "Third Hokage, Orochimaru-senpai, I'll be entrusting the rest to you."

"Yes!" Hiruzen Sarutobi had suppressed all his negative emotions and solemnly said, "Let the ninja world rediscover the power of Konoha."

Orochimaru and Hyuga Yu exchanged a glance, then looked away, a slight smile playing on their lips. "I'm really looking forward to the Sannin reuniting."

It's not bad that the final battle to help Konoha end in this way, is it?

Just then, Uchiha Fugaku walked over from a distance, glanced at Hyuga Yu, recalled the conversation Uchiha Yakumaru had with him the previous night, took a deep breath, and said:

"Fourth generation, please allow me to go with you. I can help you!"

Itachi has great talent; he's the strongest Uchiha descendant I've ever seen. If the Uchiha want to advance further in the future, they might have to rely on Itachi... so I'm a little impatient.

He can still fight, and the Fourth Hokage, who is on good terms with him, is here. In this era, the Uchiha clan is in a better situation than ever before.

So let me show Itachi the direction our clan should take in the future.

The Uchiha clan left behind far more than just slaughter for future generations!

Fugaku Uchiha's Sharingan suddenly began to spin, and amidst the astonishment of the Third Hokage and the surprise of Orochimaru, a shuriken-like pattern appeared in his eyes.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?" As the Hokage, Minato, who was qualified to know all sorts of secrets, was naturally familiar with these eyes. He asked in surprise, "Fugaku, when did you...?"

"On this very battlefield, on the day my familiar comrades died."

Fugaku touched his left eye socket with his left hand, while looking at Minato with his right eye. "I can use these eyes to control the Tailed Beasts."

He paid no attention to the Third Hokage's complex expression; as the head of the ninja clan, he had already been told by his clansmen what had happened in Konoha.

Although the details were unclear, looking at the person standing next to Minato, he knew that the time for the Fourth Hokage to become the de facto Hokage would come soon.

The Mangekyou Sharingan no longer needs to be hidden; let's use it to garner even greater support for the Uchiha clan!

"I understand." Minato nodded solemnly, a gentle smile on his face.

Fugaku was willing to reveal this power because of him, and he will not betray this trust.

"In the name of the Fourth Hokage, Konoha will surely win this war!"

……

"Lord Madara, Konoha has begun its operation."

"Where's Obito?" An aged voice came from the darkness.

"He's been eagerly waiting to go home for ages."

"Let's begin then."

"yes!"

……

"A thousand ninjas... You alone are needed to wipe them out, Yu, can you do it?"

"Hmm." Hinata Yu nodded calmly.

"Then it's up to you. This is... your battle to make a name for yourself."

Minato Namikaze suppressed his worries, chose to trust Hyuga Yu's strength, and looked towards the forest ahead.

Ten kilometers away was the Hidden Mist Camp, where the two Jinchūriki and a thousand Hidden Mist ninjas were all located.

Hyuga Yu already possesses strength no less than when he first became famous; the only thing he lacks is a record on the ninja world stage. He once fought against a thousand Iwagakure ninja single-handedly, and he believes his opponent can do the same.

However, it would require removing the tailed beasts.

As far as he knew, Hyuga Yu was not skilled in sealing techniques, nor did he possess any power like the Mangekyou Sharingan to deal with tailed beasts, so...

"If two Jinchuriki appear, I will take care of getting them to Kushina and the others. The rest is up to you. Yamaru and Kakashi will be there to meet you."

Minato handed Hyuga two kunai and then disappeared from the spot.

Next, he will activate Sage Mode, focusing all his energy on sensing the tailed beasts' auras, and wait for the right opportunity.

Whether you can gain the prestige to serve as the Hokage's assistant this time depends on you, Yu!

Hinata Yu made no attempt to hide anything, nor was there any need to; she simply walked forward slowly.

The location is where a thousand ninjas from the ninja world have gathered. There are quite a few sensory ninjas there, as well as two tailed beasts. If we want to take down this force from Kirigakure, we will have to fight a tough battle.

The only difference is what kind of fighting force Konoha wants to commit.

Minato Namikaze, the Shadow Guard, and Fugaku Uchiha were already being extremely cautious.

After all, Orochimaru confirmed that both Jinchuriki could perfectly control the Tailed Beasts!

When Hinata was only five kilometers away from the army, hundreds of shuriken rained down.

Countless black dots appeared in the forest, indistinct and shadowy, yet no one approached him, as if wondering why he was all alone.

And the next moment they found out.

In an instant, they lost sight of each other, and their swords fell densely on the spot where Hyuga had been standing.

When the Mist Ninja came to their senses, what they saw were the corpses of two Jonin lying on the tree.

"Get out of the way! He's a taijutsu ninja!"

"Use Hidden Mist... no, he's from the Hyuga clan, use ranged ninjutsu to stop him."

"No, it's too fast, we can't stop it!"

……

"Is he already that strong?"

Seeing Hyuga Yu engage in close combat among hundreds of ninjas using taijutsu that was too fast for the naked eye to follow, Uchiha Yakumaru, who was originally very worried, was secretly shocked.

He and Kakashi were hanging at a distance behind Hyuga Yu, ready to provide support at any time.

Facing a thousand ninjas alone, and not being a chakra monster like the Raikage, it's possible that Hyuga Yu would run out of energy.

However, it now seems that his worries were completely unfounded.

Hyuga Yu didn't even use the Flying Thunder God Technique; he mostly relied on taijutsu to fight, so his chakra consumption was extremely limited.

On average, one Mist Ninja falls to the ground every second.

"Even in terms of taijutsu alone, he is already among the best in the ninja world."

Kakashi, watching this scene, asked, "Senior Yu is only fifteen years old, right?"

"No, he's sixteen. Today is his birthday."

Uchiha Yakumaru's expression was complicated.

At sixteen... he became famous in the ninja world.

Damn it, don't get cocky, I'll catch up with you sooner or later!
