Naruto: From Shikotsumyaku to Otsutsuki

Since the arrival of the Cloud Ninja negotiation team two days ago, Konoha seems to have become more vibrant.

News of the impending end of the war began to circulate, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi's deliberate promotion, ordinary people and low-ranking ninjas all knew that peace was on the horizon.

War and slaughter first affect civilians and low-ranking ninjas.

Therefore, those who yearn for peace the most are inevitably those at the bottom of society.

Over the past two days, the negotiation team led by Raikage's advisor Tsuchida has held several meetings with Konoha and has basically finalized a treaty that satisfies both sides.

Taking this opportunity, Tutai also requested to visit the ancestral homes of various bloodline families.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was eager to promote peace, would certainly not refuse.

This is both a gesture of goodwill and an opportunity to showcase the village's rich cultural heritage.

As an advisor to the Raikage, Tsuchikage was naturally not someone without discretion. After the group focused on visiting the strongest clans in Konoha, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, they stopped their activities.

After exchanging pleasantries and compliments, the Cloud Ninja team returned to their inn and quickly reunited.

"Kasai, have you memorized the route inside the Hyuga clan?" Tsuchida asked the sensory ninja Kasai, his eyes gleaming.

"Lord Tutai, no problem, I can plan the best route for Lord Moshibi right now."

Kassa nodded confidently and began to outline the route of action.

He is a sensory ninja and one of the three core members of this operation, responsible for providing intelligence.

Tsuchida is the Raikage's advisor, with extensive combat experience and a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation. He is the commander of the Byakugan Retrieval Plan.

The main character in this operation is Moshibi, who has dark brown skin. He is a direct descendant of the Raikage, the younger brother of the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, a powerful elite Jonin who has successfully mastered the Lightning Release Armor Mode and is responsible for stealing the Byakugan.

The remaining two were members of Moshibi's team, responsible for providing support and covering the rear, always ready to sacrifice themselves for the plan.

Soon, the group finalized their action plan.

"4 a.m. is the most tiring time. Moshibi, you only have one chance. Follow Kasai's route, head straight to the destination, rob Hinata Hyuga, and leave the Forest of Death immediately. The others will cover the rear."

Tsuchida's tone was chilling as he patted the group on the shoulders: "This operation is a do-or-die situation. Obtaining a living Hyuga bloodline is our primary objective. If things truly become impossible, I hope you will die at the hands of Hyuga Hiashi. I will pressure him to commit suicide afterward, seize the Byakugan from his corpse, and avenge you."

He was dressed entirely in black, his words filled with cold indifference. After speaking, he bowed deeply to the group and sighed:

"I know you are all good ninjas of Kumogakure, but the strategic role of the Byakugan is too important. This is a necessary sacrifice, all for the sake of Kumogakure."

Knowing their mission before setting off, the group had already disregarded their own lives, their eyes burning with unwavering loyalty, and they declared in unison, "All for Cloud Village!"

Meanwhile, in a distant inn, Kaguya Kazama and a man wearing a black cloak and sunglasses, with a purple mark on his right cheek, stood by the window, watching the movements of the Hyuga clan.

"Lord Ryoma, the negotiations have ended. The dream of peace has numbed most people. The Cloud Ninja will likely make their move tonight."

Kaguya Kazama said, subtly moving away from Aburame Ryoma.

This person is an elite member of the Root organization, a capable henchman of Danzo, and is skilled at controlling parasitic insects for attacks and reconnaissance.

Kaguya Kazama is currently most afraid of ninjas who can leave behind hidden weapons. If she is marked by the parasitic insects, it will be extremely detrimental to her subsequent actions.

Ryoma Aburame had a cool demeanor, seemingly used to silence, and simply nodded without uttering a sound.

He was a spy sent by Danzo. He arrived yesterday. If the Cloud Ninja didn't make a move, it would mean that the information Orochimaru provided was false, and he would destroy Kaguya Kazama according to Danzo's will.

The two had nothing to say to each other.

Silence was the dominant theme in the room.

Until 4 a.m., Kaguya Kazama saw several dark figures sneak into the Hyuga clan's territory.

A moment later, a furious roar suddenly echoed within the Hyuga clan's territory: "Hinata! Cloud Ninja? How dare you! Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Immediately afterwards, various ninjutsu lights appeared, chaotically flashing as they fought their way towards the Forest of Death.

Kaguya Kazama already knew the outcome, and there was nothing she could do about it, so she just watched silently.

Beside them, Ryoma Aburame's voice suddenly rang out: "The parasitic insect told me that you have the scent of a serpent, the same scent from Ryuchi Cave as Manda."

Kaguya Kazama was taken aback, not yet understanding the meaning behind Aburame Ryoma's words, when he continued, "Based on the 'substitution of the prince' plan you provided, Lord Danzo has already planned out the detailed implementation steps. He specifically named you, allowing you to participate as an 'audience member' and witness a great change."

After he finished speaking, he instantly dispersed, transforming into a swarm of dark parasitic insects that flew towards the tribe's territory towards the sun.

It was only then that Kaguya Kazama realized that the person Ryoma Aburame had never been his true form.

"Does it split into two?"

Kaguya Kazama watched the insect fly away and muttered, "The audience? Danzo, huh? Villains usually die from arrogance. I can't control what you do, but the Byakugan is mine."

On the other side, Mohibi's heart sank.

The other two members of the trio who were covering the rear were being pushed back by the arriving Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi. Every time they unleashed their Bagua Palm strikes, it meant their hopes of returning were dwindling.

The two fought desperately, while he carried the unconscious Hinata Hyuga and fled towards the Forest of Death.

According to the plan, two people would cover the rear, and he would definitely bring the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family back to Kumogakure.

However, two elite Jonin wearing masks appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path.

One is skilled in using parasitic insects, and the other is skilled in ninja swordsmanship.

With their combined efforts, although they were no match for him, they greatly slowed down his escape.

"Damn it, these masked men were lying in ambush. How did the intelligence get leaked?"

Moshibi couldn't understand how a seemingly flawless conspiracy could now appear to have turned out to be something he had walked right into someone else's web.

He was carrying 3-year-old Hinata Hyuga, and in order to protect this eldest daughter of the main family from being killed by the aftermath of the battle, he didn't even dare to activate his Lightning Release Armor Mode. He was restricted at every turn, and his combat power was greatly reduced.

The two masked figures seemed to have other plans, not using powerful offensive ninjutsu, but only suppressing his speed.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Cruelty Level!"

Moshibi managed to concentrate his Lightning Release chakra into his right hand and cleaved through his opponent with a chop. Then he discovered that the head of the main branch of the family, Hyuga Hiashi, had caught up.

He glanced at the battlefield in the distance; one of his comrades had already been killed by Hyuga Hiashi, and another was in grave danger under the attack of Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch clan.

Further away, more and more ninjas gathered and surrounded them.

He lacks the strength to overwhelm an entire village, and escaping Konoha has become a pipe dream.

"It seems we can't take back the Hyuga main family's eldest daughter."

Moshibi knew that his plan to abduct the Hyuga clan's eldest daughter had failed. He sighed, and the disappointment in his eyes was quickly replaced by a fierce glint.

"Then let's proceed with Plan B, as per Lord Tsuchidai's plan."

He tossed Hinata aside, his blue-silver chakra erupting, and terrifying electricity shot out in all directions.

"Lightning Armor Mode: Righteous Lightning Sinking Wrath Thunder Axe".

boom....

He leaped high into the air, his right foot, crackling with electricity, cleaved the two Root members away like a thunder axe, and then rushed towards Hiashi Hyuga.

The cool night breeze reminded him of the time he sat atop the mountain in Yunren Village, watching the sea of ​​clouds surge with Mabui.

That was his hometown, and there lived the girl he loved.

Unfortunately, he was a ninja.

"I'm sorry, hempen clothes. It was all for Kumogakure!"

Inside the inn, the sensory ninja Kasai looked at Moshibi, who had willingly chosen his death, his eyes reddening, and choked out, "Lord Tsuchidai, they failed."

"What a pity for the fine men of Kumogakure."

A trace of sorrow flashed in Tsuchikage's remaining single eye as he said in a low voice, "Let's go, Kasai, to the Hokage's office. Our battle has begun."

"I know you haven't mastered the art of Heavenly Delivery yet, but prepare yourself for it."
