Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 64 Beauty Comes from Contrast

Hinata Yu is very clear about his current shortcomings.

The combat system has been established, but chakra is somewhat insufficient.

Although chakra should increase considerably when the Byakugan advances again, it is an improvement that can only be obtained in the future.

This is a rare opportunity, and we won't let anyone notice.

Tailed beasts need time to regenerate, and before that time comes, no one will even bother to search for the Seven-Tails.

In a way, we should thank Madara. Perhaps in order to prevent Obito from noticing anything amiss, he chose to use a real tailed beast for his plan?

If it was an illusion, Obito would definitely have found clues when he captured the tailed beasts later.

Kirigakure has become the scapegoat. With Rin "dead," Takigakure can only seek trouble from Kirigakure.

Ultimately, however, possessing a treasure is a crime. Given Takigakure's strength in possessing a tailed beast, it's quite normal for it to be stolen...

Thinking it over, Hyuga Yu said to Rin, "Tailed Beast transfer will deplete your life force and may even kill you. Although I have a way to avoid it, I have another suggestion instead of a direct transfer."

Before Lin could ask, the Seven-Tails flying in the air spoke up.

"Humans, how much longer are you going to ignore me as if nothing is wrong?"

Chongming stared intently at Hyuga Yu. "There's no seal here. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"If you wanted to take action, you wouldn't have waited until now."

Hinata Yu chuckled lightly, "You know more about the whole thing than Rin, and you know the consequences of taking action."

Nanao Shigeaki: "..."

It recalled being kidnapped from Kirigakure and that terrifying Uchiha, and fell silent.

If it goes berserk and leaks its chakra, attracting the attention of others, it doesn't know what will happen to Nohara Rin, but it will most likely be controlled by that man again and used as a tool.

Being controlled by illusions is not a pleasant feeling. Although the person in front of you is not a good person either, at least they don't have the consciousness to control you.

Beauty arises from contrast.

"Even so, I have no interest in becoming your power, greedy human." Shigeaki Nanao said in a deep voice, "I am not like this little girl, who would be grateful for your rescue. Rather than being imprisoned in a Jinchuriki's body forever, I would rather die."

"And then what? You'll be resurrected and sealed away again?"

Shigeaki Nanao: "At least I can be free for a while!"

It could live freely before the ninjas came after it.

"A period of freedom?" Hinata Yu shook his head with a smile. "Your requirements are really low."

"What do you mean?"

"I can give you a certain degree of freedom." Hyuga Yu looked up at the Seven-Tails. "Tailed beasts can control Jinchuriki by eroding their chakra. I can directly send you a shadow clone to control it."

Chongming was taken aback, then exclaimed in astonishment, "Aren't you afraid I'll directly control you?"

According to Hinata Yu, he will likely only seal it within his body and will not set any further seals to restrict it.

Its chakra can erode and control him at any time.

"If you can do it, you can try." Hinata Yu's eyes shone with a blue light, and a heavy aura permeated the surroundings as he slowly said, "But once you try, you will never have such an opportunity again."

"..."

This eye power is somewhat different from that old guy's eye power, but it is equally dangerous... Could this Hyuga clan ninja also control it with genjutsu?

Chongming's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that the world he was in now was a little unfamiliar.

In the past, although they could be sealed using sealing techniques, they still had some choice. If they did not agree, the Jinchūriki could not obtain their full power.

It feels like anyone can control a tailed beast and do something these days?

It still remembers the Sage of Six Paths saying that because their power was too great, he hoped they could get along well with weak humans.

In the past, apart from the two children of the Sage of Six Paths, humans at least fit the definition of being weak. But now...

Nanami lowered her head in humiliation. "I hope you can keep your promise."

Well, it's not much different from before. Maybe I can even go out and get some exercise, which is already pretty good.

As the saying goes, beauty comes from contrast.

Seeing that Nanao agreed, Hyuga Yu smiled and left with Rin.

The quality of his pupil power is now no worse than that of the Kaleidoscope, and the intensity of his Yin Release chakra is also very high.

Illusion is a type of Yin Release technique. With his eye power, the effect of illusory techniques would not be bad, but it cannot be used to counter tailed beasts like the Kaleidoscope.

After all, the Byakugan focuses on a different direction than the Sharingan, and their ocular power differs in the details they exhibit.

However, scaring the Seven-Tails, which was just controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan, is no problem.

Once her consciousness returned to the outside world, Lin asked, "Senior Yu, what was your other suggestion?"

"If you want to know the whole truth and do anything else, you're not powerful enough."

"I understand," Lin nodded.

She's just a Chunin now, and even if she knows about Obito, there's nothing she can do to change anything.

Hyuga Yu smiled slightly, "If you're willing, you can participate in one of my other experiments and become... a pseudo-Jinchūriki!"

……

"Hey, isn't something wrong here?"

Jiraiya glanced at the Third Mizukage, who was surrounded by the three of them and fighting with grief and indignation, and then at Kisame and Yagura, who were fighting and retreating from the distance against other Konoha ninjas. His lips twitched.

Facing the three legendary Sannin, Kirigakure was indeed at a disadvantage, but even so, there was no need to abandon the Kage and run away, right?

Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Fog Shadow?

"There must be many people in Kirigakure who are dissatisfied with the Third Mizukage, and those two are just among them."

When Orochimaru saw Tsunade rushing towards the Third Mizukage, as if she were venting her anger on someone else, he wisely refrained from stepping forward. Instead, he stayed on the sidelines to provide support and chatted with Jiraiya.

"In this war, Kirigakure has no chance of victory, but on the battlefield, the only way to defy the Kage's orders is to seize power, or something like this..."

Meanwhile, Yagura, who had led his men out of Konoha's encirclement, explained to Kisame:

"We have no choice but to either take responsibility for the failure to protect him, leave the Third Hokage to Konoha, and use this opportunity to gather those in Kirigakure who want a ceasefire and suppress the pro-war faction, or to control the Third Hokage and seize power."

If a ceasefire is desired, the Third Mizukage is an unavoidable figure.

Both choices would be grave sins for him and Kisame, but they were mentally prepared for them.

Compared to Kirigakure being dragged into the abyss by the Third Hokage, what does it matter if they bear a little guilt?

"So how do you plan to explain this when we get back?" Kisame asked calmly.

"For the sake of Kirigakure's legacy, the Third Hokage took the initiative to stop the three Sannin and cover our retreat."

"..."

Faced with this explanation that even a fool could see was flawed, Kisame remained silent, only giving Yagura a deep look.

"You said you would reduce the losses of Kirigakure and lead it back to its peak. I hope it's not just empty talk."

Yagura lowered his eyes and said softly, "No, it can't be!"

The Hidden Mist Village has great potential; there are many exceptionally talented ninjas in the new generation. Given enough time to recuperate, they can return to their peak.

The premise is that the war has not severely damaged their strength.

Kisame stared at him for a moment, then looked away and asked, "Besides me, whose support do you have? I'm just a temporary bodyguard after the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were transferred, so I don't have any say in this."
