Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 9 You're underage!

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique is truly the most suitable ninjutsu for the main branch of the clan!"

Hyuga Yu's soft words caused Hyuga Meigoku's expression to contort in rage, but his strength was insufficient to break the control of the Impure World, so he could only say in a cold voice:

"As a member of the branch family, protecting the main family is our bounden duty. To harbor any disloyal intentions deserves death!"

"A caged bird is made for people like you!"

As he spoke, his fingers trembled as he raised them, about to activate the Caged Bird Technique.

Seeing this, Hyuga Yu raised an eyebrow and laughed, "You still don't understand the situation? The current Hyuga main clan doesn't have the same dominance as it did during the Warring States period."

Because Hyuga Yu did not stop him, Hyuga Meigoku did indeed activate the Caged Bird Seal.

But... it had no effect; Hinata Yu showed no signs of pain.

Hyuga Meigoku's pupils contracted.

"Most sealing techniques and cursed seals rely on the recipient's chakra, not the caster's."

Hinata Yu's fingers twitched slightly, and a coffin appeared behind Hinata Meigoku. He reluctantly retreated inside, and Hinata Yu's voice reached his ears.

"After all, there is no better way than letting the enemy limit themselves."

"And the caged birds are no different from them. The chakra that destroys nerves and the Byakugan originally belonged to the Hyuga branch family itself."

"However, the Caged Bird's ability to manipulate chakra doesn't seem to be as strong as my Byakugan right now."

Just as the coffin lid was about to be closed, Hyuga Meigoku saw those strange Byakugan eyes. Recalling the messages passed down from his ancestors, a chill ran down his spine.

He hunted down the Hyuga clan members not for revenge, but to awaken the Tenseigan!

The Hyuga clan developed the Caged Bird Seal because they feared having their eyes taken by the Otsutsuki from the moon, but now...

How did a member of a branch family find out about this?

Who is he?

Is it Otsutsuki? Or is it Otsutsuki on the moon in disguise?

Filled with doubt and despair, Hyuga Meigoku once again fell into a deep slumber.

The Hyuga clan is finished...

Recalling the reanimated ninja, Hyuga Habu quickly moved away from the scene.

He was honestly surprised that the White Eyes evolution could disable the Caged Bird.

Even if it were to disable the caged bird, it should be a true Tenseigan, but I didn't expect that a half-finished product could do it.

"It's not a complete solution. When Hyuga Meigoku activates the Caged Bird Seal, my Byakugan's power is forced to be used to suppress it, which affects my ability to unleash my full strength."

"Being distracted by the caged bird during a battle would be fatal for me."

Hinata Hayao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We still need to completely free the bird from its cage!"

Five kilometers away from the crime scene, Hyuga Hashiro saw two ninjas reflected in his eyes, stopped walking, and vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in the izakaya (Japanese pub) on the street.

Just then, two ninjas and a ninja dog passed by on the street.

One of the male ninjas looked around and noticed that he was from the Hyuga clan. He frowned and was about to go up and ask him something.

However, she was stopped by another female ninja with a ninja dog.

The female ninja from the Inuzuka clan shook her head at him and turned her gaze to her ninja dog.

The ninja dog understood, lowered its head and sniffed in Hinata's direction, then shook its head at her.

Seeing this, the female ninja quickly led the man and the dog away from the area.

The male ninja endured all this, but finally couldn't help asking:

"Inuzuka-senpai, it's so late, and that Hyuga ninja has appeared here..."

The female ninja gently interrupted him, "Tomorrow is the day the Hyuga clan will re-carve the Caged Bird Seal for the branch family."

The male ninja understood instantly.

"As expected, the village... doesn't intend to release the Caged Bird Seal. I'm sorry, I don't have a problem with the village's decision, it's just that I have a friend from the Hyuga branch family."

The female ninja said, "I understand, but this is an internal matter of the ninja clan, and the Hokage has no right to interfere."

"..." Male ninja.

Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat heavy, the female ninja suddenly said with a grin, "By the way, do you know why that brat's face looked so ugly just now?"

"Because of the caged bird?"

"No, maybe that's why he came out to clear his head, but the reason he looked so uncomfortable is because he's underage, hahaha!"

The male ninja was taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but laugh.

……

After watching the two patrolling ninjas leave, Hyuga Yu walked into the izakaya without changing his expression.

Then... he was kicked out.

"Kid, come drink when you're an adult."

Hinata Yu stared blankly at the shop owner's gentle face, then turned and left without a word.

That's enough! How old is he in both his past and present lives? He can't even get into an izakaya (Japanese pub).

He clearly remembered that Jiraiya and Tsunade, two of the Legendary Sannin, were not honest, and the latter had been gambling since childhood. It seemed that the casino had never stopped her.

Just because it was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who corrupted Tsunade, that the casinos don't have to take responsibility, so they just let themselves go?

Even now, he can still hear the legend of the big fat sheep's childhood in Konoha!

With mixed feelings, Hyuga Yu used his Byakugan to avoid the investigating ninjas. Only when he arrived at his underground training ground did he carefully feel his own improvement.

The chakra increased by two times, which was not unexpected.

After all, his chakra was far stronger than that of Hyuga Miyuki, who was originally a Chunin, and several times stronger than that of a typical Jonin.

Roughly equivalent to four Kakashis?

Yes, he had seen Kakashi, a 12-year-old Jonin, about a month ago, with the Fourth Hokage, Minato.

In other words, he currently possesses eight chakra units.

Not a lot, but not a little either.

Naruto had four times the chakra of an adult Kakashi when he was a child, but the Uzumaki clan were all chakra monsters, so they couldn't be compared.

Feeling the surge of chakra, Hyuga Yu focused his chakra into his Byakugan.

hum!

The air vibrated, and even tiny cracks appeared on the ground.

"I see, I didn't notice before. This is the Byakugan—an aura of pressure?"

The eye technique used by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After careful study, Hinata Yu nodded.

Good ability.

Transforming eye power into chakra flow creates a gravitational pressure attack on enemies and the environment.

However, the gap in raw strength between him and Kaguya Otsutsuki was too great, and this ability could only have a significant impact on Chunin.

To be effective in a battle against the Shadow, one must rely on his experience and strength.

"Finally, this is it."

Eight Gates Formation – Fifth Gate of Shock, open!

Empty palm!

The chakra boost from the Eight Gates combined with the increased chakra density from the Byakugan's evolution made this empty palm strike far more powerful than ever before.

Boom!

The sturdy basement wall collapsed with a crash, leaving a large hole in the middle.

"It's far from matching the power of the Eighty Gods' Vacuum Strike; the chakra density needs to be further increased."

Hinata Yu muttered to himself.

"Moreover, without the Eight Gates technique, I wouldn't even be able to use such an attack."

Gentle Fist is only effective against humans; its destructive power against large chakra monsters, such as tailed beasts and Susanoo, is limited.

Minato's team has already headed to the Iwagakure battlefield. The time for Obito to transform into Kenji is not far off. The task ahead is arduous and the road is long.
