Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 96 The Strongest Man Who Survived the Battle with the First Hokage

After only a few dozen rounds of fighting, Duan was defeated.

For him, materializing his soul was actually a form of weakening.

His biggest trump card is to use spiritification techniques to possess other people's bodies, but once the soul is materialized, this ability becomes unusable.

Moreover, once the soul materializes, it will be able to be damaged, just like a tailed beast.

In this situation, facing Sakumo Hatake in his Edo Tensei state, he had almost no chance to fight back, and his whole body was like a fragile porcelain, covered with cracks.

"Senior Duan, please be quiet. Your current physical condition is not suitable for violence."

Hinata Yu stepped forward, placing his hand on Kato Dan's shoulder, and black sealing talismans gradually covered his entire body.

"Why?!"

Ignoring the sealing talismans, Dan looked at Hyuga Yu and said in a heavy tone, "You've already reached the pinnacle of Konoha, why do you still need to conduct these experiments? You're also a Konoha ninja, why...?"

"I should be the one asking myself, why did I do this?"

Hyuga Yu looked around and smiled, "Of all the ninjas I resurrected, only you chose this way to rebel."

"..."

Kato Dan's expression changed slightly, his eyes darting around as he vaguely saw that he was surrounded by dozens of ninjas.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Hatake Sakumo.

Scorching Leaf Warehouse.

The Second Hokage

Second generation Tsuchikage.

……

There are reanimated ninjas, ninjas who have been completely resurrected, and ninjas who were resurrected with the help of White Zetsu clones, making them natural-born best spies.

Regardless of nationality or status, they simply stood there, looking at him with calm eyes.

Why did you just accept it like that?

Because of Hyuga Yu's strength?

Looking at the Second Hokage, Kato Dan believed that at least this one was not like that.

Is it being controlled?

Only his form of existence can be exempt from control; everyone else is merely controlled by Hyuga Yu. That must be it, otherwise how could the Second Hokage possibly allow him to act with impunity...

There are other Konoha ninjas, even Sakumo must have had his reasons...

His hopes were dashed by Sakumo.

"I am a dead person. Being able to return to the present world and make up for the regrets of the past is enough for me."

Sakumo Hatake said in a low voice, "I ended my life as a Konoha ninja. Now, I only want to do something for Kakashi as a father."

"Besides, isn't Konoha doing well now under Yu's rule? If you're talking about the future, is his disappearance a good thing?"

He was sincere.

Sensing this from Sakumo's calm tone, Kato Dan's expression stiffened as he looked at the Second Hokage, whom he believed was most likely to stand beside him.

"Second Generation Lord, and what about you?"

Tobirama watched him silently.

Don't you understand?

Hyuga Yu imposed virtually no restrictions on them, did not manipulate the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and did not set any limits for the resurrected ninjas.

Why is that?

In Hinata Yu's view, even if they all betrayed him, it wouldn't have any impact on him!

Moreover, that's simply impossible.

Many of the ninjas here have already genuinely pledged allegiance to the other side.

Feeling a lot of malicious gazes directed at him because of Dan's words, Tobirama closed his eyes. "Dan, he was hoping someone would stop him. That person will become a sinner of Konoha. Don't let him have his way."

This is another factor that binds him; it's a truly despicable tactic.

"..."

Kato remained silent.

Why would stopping Hyuga be considered a sinner against Konoha?

"Kato Dan, is that right?" The Second Tsuchikage, covered in bandages, said calmly, "The strength of your Konoha is now closely linked to two people. Don't tell me you can't even understand this."

Kato Dan was naturally aware of this.

It was the Fourth Hokage and Hyuga Hare.

But if Hinata Yu were to disappear, there's always the Fourth Hokage...

is it?

It turned out to be the case.

The runes on Kato Dan's body gradually connected completely, and his expression became slightly dazed.

He understood.

Whether you obstruct Hyuga or support Hyuga, the future they lead to is the same.

The black runes suddenly contracted, and Kato Dan's body shattered into countless blue fragments, gradually disappearing before everyone's eyes.

Hinata Yu did not respond to the two Kage's reminders and withdrew his hand. "It may take some time before I can see Senior Dan. His physical condition is still unstable. He actually started such an intense battle. He really doesn't cherish himself at all."

"How can a soul shattered like that be resurrected? It's like a tailed beast."

Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and glanced at Hyuga Yu.

This guy has completely transcended the boundaries between life and death.

Sakumo sighed and sheathed his blade.

Rebellion... Everything they have now was given to them by Hyuga Yu. They are using the life and power that Hyuga Yu gave them to rebel against him?

It's a complete joke.

Moreover, based on what I've seen during this period, it's better to entrust the world to Hyuga Yu than to leave it to mediocre people who will do nothing.

He exchanged a glance with the Second Hokage, said nothing, and retreated behind Hyuga Yu.

He owed nothing to Konoha, except for his son.

What happens to Konoha in the future is none of his concern.

Beside him, Wu stared at the spot where Duan had disappeared for a moment before turning his gaze to Hinata Yu.

"Hey, you have some of the clones I left behind, right? How about you completely revive me? What happens to Konoha is none of my business. As long as you can fulfill your promise, I can help you with some things."

Hyuga Yu shook his head and smiled, "I'm sorry, all the techniques that Senior Mu has mastered are very interesting. I hope you can cooperate with me in the research. The Impure World Form is better."

Dustless and shrouded in mist.

Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique.

Dust escapes.

Compared to the Second Hokage, who was almost completely drained by him, this person here has greater research value.

"..."

Wu frowned and stared at him for a moment, then looked away and said coldly to the Second Hokage, "How do you feel about the result of the forbidden technique you created?"

You have no right to talk to me like that.

Tobirama's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He said something coldly and then disappeared from the spot.

He didn't want to see what happened next.

Hinata Yu's gaze swept over everyone, and she chuckled, "Although not all of them, meeting each other in this setting has given you all a better understanding of your comrades. How does it feel? They're all reliable companions, aren't they?"

How do you feel?

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon felt terrible.

Compared to some of the ninjas present, the reputation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was somewhat inferior.

Sixteen people.

They were all famous ninjas in the ninja world.

My premonition came true.

The minimum standard for Hidden Ones is to be an elite Jonin.

reliable?

That's really reliable; there aren't many ninjas stronger than these.

"For me, all I need to do is fight."

Kaguya Clan Chief—Kaguya Hiroyuki—revealed a sinister smile. "While I'd love to fight you again, looking at this scene, I feel like I could experience the thrill of battle anytime. So, what's our mission now?"

"Clean up small countries and underground black markets."

"Oh?" Kaguya Hiroyuki licked his lips. "Are there any strong individuals inside who can handle us?"

"There are some."

Hinata Hagu's lips curled up in a smile.

"For example, ninjas who fought against the First Hokage and survived."
