I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 488 Descendants of Immortals on the Moon!

The Hyuga clan that Nara Rinka was considering at this time was not the Hyuga clan within Konoha Village.

Although the Hyuga clan considered themselves the strongest ninja clan in Konoha after the Uchiha clan was destroyed.

However, it must be admitted that this statement has brought a lot of controversy to the Hyuga clan.

Many people even believe that the Hyuga clan's statement was just bragging!

In the ninja world, strength speaks for itself; being weak is the original sin.

If the Hyuga clan had any notable achievements, or fought against any well-known enemies, they would have been a force to be reckoned with.

People wouldn't be so sarcastic yet.

But how many weapons does the Hyuga clan actually possess?

cough cough...

The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound; this is roughly the idea behind "Nara's Embrace of the Osmanthus Tree".

The core abilities of the Hyuga clan lie in the Byakugan and Gentle Fist.

Nara Rinkei has always felt that the compatibility between these two abilities is very poor.

Gentle Fist only utilizes the Byakugan's X-ray vision ability, but completely fails to utilize the Byakugan's ultra-long-range vision effect.

This is why Nara Rinka initially suggested that his subordinate, Hyuga Rei, research long-range attack ninjutsu.

The combination of the Byakugan and close-range martial arts is a complete waste.

Only a long-range sniping style can bring out the true effect of Byakugan.

all in all.

The Hyuga clan of Konoha, if you say they are weak, then they are definitely not weak.

The Thousand Hands vanished, and the Uchiha clan was destroyed.

Sarutobi, Shimura, Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka, and Aburame...

None of these ninja clans are as strong as the Hyuga clan if considered individually.

Moreover, the Hyuga clan is not only strong, but also resilient, and their bloodline limit awakening rate far exceeds that of the Uchiha clan, with almost everyone possessing the Byakugan.

From this perspective, it's not unreasonable to say that the Hyuga clan is the strongest in Konoha.

However, the strength of the Hyuga clan also has its limits.

Nara Rinkei has always held the belief that the strength of a bloodline limit ninja is closely related to the "purity" of his personal bloodline limit.

Among the Hyuga clans of Konoha, the one with the "purest" bloodline is undoubtedly the head of the Hyuga main family—Hyuga Hiashi.

But how strong is Hiashi Hyuga?

Nara Rinka doesn't even bother to dig up the dark history of this "generous brother-gifting" man.

As for Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, he hasn't even managed to earn a title.

At least Fugaku Uchiha next door has the nickname "fierce-eyed"!

Hiashi Hyuga's strength, no matter how you look at it, is only that of an elite Jonin.

If even the head of the Hyuga clan is this strong, then the rest of the Hyuga clan are even less likely to be strong...

The Hyuga clan of Konoha is at this level.

Nara Rankei suspects that the "Hyuga clan" is actually the branch that remained on the moon.

Back in the day...

After the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura sealed away their mother.

One of the brothers remained on the ground, founded the Ninjutsu sect, and spread chakra;

One went to the moon, leaving behind his bloodline to protect the seal.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was later hailed as the "Sage of the Six Paths".

However, his brother, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, has been gradually forgotten in history.

To this day, Nara Rinka estimates that only a handful of people in the entire ninja world know about the deeds of Otsutsuki Hamura.

Naturally, not many people knew that a super clan with overall strength that was no less than the Senju or Uchiha clans was hidden on the moon.

The Otsutsuki clan!

Others might overlook the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon.

Nara Rinkachi, however, would not ignore the other's presence.

of course.

The main reason is that the Otsutsuki on the moon are just too terrifying in terms of their peak combat power!

Nara Rinka had no idea how the Otsutsuki on the moon had managed to fuse and create such a gigantic Tenseigan.

However, he knew very well that an Otsutsuki Toneri with the Tenseigan could easily slice the moon in half!

That's incredibly high skill!

Even if the moon in the ninja world isn't the real moon, but a "fake" created by the Sage of Six Paths using the "Planetary Devastation".

But it's a star too!

Back when ninjas on Earth were still defining the range of ninjutsu effects based on distance settings such as "zero to five meters", "five to ten meters", and "more than ten meters", etc.

Otsutsuki Toneri has already cleaved the moon in two with a single blow using the [Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion]!

The technique covers the entire planet; this is undoubtedly an operation that only a sixth-level deity could perform!

Given this, how could Nara Rinka possibly overlook the Otsutsuki ninja on the moon?

The Tenseigan on the moon is also the "core evidence" that Nara Rinkei suspects the Hyuga clan may produce a new prophetic child!

"Considering the purity of the Byakugan bloodline, there's every reason to suspect that this group of Byakugan ninjas on Earth, or rather the Hyuga clan, are a branch or descendants of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon!"

"So the Hyuga clan can actually be considered equivalent to the Otsutsuki clan, or perhaps a smaller version of the Otsutsuki clan."

"I just don't know why the Byakugan ninjas from the moon have come to Earth..."

"Furthermore, in my memory, whether by coincidence or tradition, the branch of descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura left on the moon also split into the main family and branch families from within."

"The Otsutsuki ninja on the moon have even more intense ideological clashes; as members of the branch family, they even massacred the main family!"

"If I remember correctly, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, only one surviving member of the Otsutsuki clan remained on the moon—Otsutsuki Toneri!"

"Will Ōtsutsuki Toneri be the new child of prophecy?"

Nara Rinka carefully considered the matter.

In his sequence of suspicions, if he excludes himself from speaking.

Naruto Uzumaki is ranked first.

Otsutsuki Toneri ranked second.

While there is a possibility that Nagato and Sasuke Uchiha might be involved, the chances are extremely slim.

The main reason is that the latter two don't quite fit the "sunlight" description...

Nara Rinka took a deep breath, suppressing the new prophecy of the Great Toad Sage in his heart.

Whoever that new prophetic child may be.

Nara Rinka only needs to improve his own strength step by step.

His current strength level is only at S-level.

There is a terrifying gap, like an insurmountable chasm, between them and the Six Paths level, which can destroy the world!

The power gap is too great.

Debating the true identity of the prophesied child now will only cause unnecessary trouble.

Nara Rinkazu looked up at Namikaze Minato.

While he pondered who the new Child of Prophecy might be, Master Men had been waiting in the Hokage's office for quite some time.

"Brother Minato, you don't need to worry too much about the new prophecy about the Great Toad Sage."

Nara Rinka made no mention of his speculation about the identity of the new prophetic child, but simply offered a casual reassurance.

"Like your teacher Jiraiya, he searched for the prophetic child for so many years... Didn't the facts prove that it was a waste of time?"

"With this energy, you might as well rest a little longer."

Minato Namikaze's lips twitched slightly.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

In retrospect, Jiraiya's search for the prophesied child over the years was indeed a waste of his energy.

but……

Minato Namikaze also believed that he was that "Child of Prophecy"!

The new prophecy made by the Great Toad Sage not only dealt a blow to Jiraiya, but also had a significant impact on Minato Namikaze.

Fortunately, the door maker had already been mentally prepared.

There was an impact, but not a significant one.

but.

Minato Namikaze thought to himself.

"If Jiraiya-sensei really had some free time, he probably wouldn't take a break; he would just devote even more energy to his 'grand research project'..."

Minato Namikaze only hoped that Jiraiya would abide by the law.

Otherwise, he didn't want to one day visit his teacher in Konoha prison to see him imprisoned for violating public morals.

Minato Namikaze snapped out of his daze and said seriously.

"I will relay the Hokage's reminder to Jiraiya-sensei."

"Um."

Nara Lan Gui nodded slightly.

"Brother Minato, I probably won't be assigning you any special missions for the next while."

"Your most important task right now is to take good care of your family members!"

"The Third Hokage just sent an Anbu ninja to report that there's been quite a commotion at your house..."

"I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."

Minato Namikaze is an honest man.

Faced with the Fourth Hokage's "admonition," Master Monk obediently lowered his head, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and promised that he would properly handle the relationship between Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki in the future.

However, in the end, Minato Namikaze brought up another matter.

"Fourth Hokage, I intend to properly train Naruto..."

"It's up to you."

Nara waved goodbye as he held the cassia tree in his arms.

"You can raise your son however you want."

"Um, Fourth Hokage, I might be able to teach Naruto some... special ninjutsu."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and continued speaking.

"Like the Rasengan, the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques..."

"Whatever!"

Nara Rinka's attitude was quite tolerant.

"If conditions allowed, I would love for the village to have more ninjas who could learn advanced ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique. Unfortunately, the reality is that many ninjas simply lack the talent..."

"Brother Minato, you can teach with complete confidence!"

The references to "Otsutsuki Toneri" and "the Otsutsuki main family and branch family on the moon" in this chapter are all from the theatrical film "THE LAST".

The Reincarnation Eye is truly powerful.
