XX-level Hokage

Chakra amplification is a unique talent of Naruto Uzumaki. In simple terms, it is an increase in the amount of chakra, which means that Mashiro of the Hyuga clan can also have the amount of chakra of the Uzumaki clan.

"Young Miss, the head of the family is looking for you."

Hearing the sound outside the door, Mashiro stood up. "Okay."

In the Hyuga clan's training room, Mashiro and Hinata were standing on opposite sides.

"Hmph, just say something happened so late at night." Mashiro sighed.

She went to Hiashi's courtyard and found Hinata there, and then she understood what Hiashi meant.

One is a legitimate young lady who has been withdrawn for more than two years, and the other is a temporary young lady who has been raised as such for two years. The two are bound to have a battle to determine who should be the focus of the Hyuga clan in the future.

"Let's begin."

With Hiashi's command, the match between Mashiro and Hinata began.

Hinata isn't actually stupid; it's just that her personality isn't really suited to learning physical combat.

For example, the Bagua Palm used by Hinata had the form, but it still lacked the most important element: offensiveness. Is Bagua Palm still Bagua Palm if it is used without the intention of attacking the opponent?

Mashiro used a substitution jutsu to appear beside Hinata, and then... "Eight Trigrams Palm"!

He struck Hinata in the chest with a palm strike, and Hinata instantly collapsed to the ground, incapacitated. Seeing Mashiro's clean and swift movements, Hiashi smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"It seems your talent hasn't disappeared. You truly deserve to be called a genius of our clan."

Mashiro helped Hinata up, then said to Hiashi, "Father, I want to learn some ninjutsu."

Hiashi's face hardened again at Mashiro's words: "Only taijutsu is the foundation of our Hyuga clan." Then he turned and left.

After comforting Hinata for a while, Mashiro had a servant take Hinata back to her room.

"Master Sousuke, do you think Hinata will be subjected to the Caged Bird Jutsu?" Sousuke Hyuga, the Hyuga clan's trainer, remained silent.

“Main family, branch family… I really don’t know why our ancestors established such a cruel system,” Mashiro lamented. “Young lady, please be careful with your words,” Hyuga Sousuke said sternly.

"I was just thinking wildly. If the main family and the branch family hadn't separated, Master Sousuke wouldn't have remained just an elite Chunin. Alright, I'm going back to rest now." Mashiro said before leaving the training room.

Only Hyuga Sousuke remained, lost in thought.

In Mashiro's view, apart from the Senju clan, which had long since fallen, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were both extremely dysfunctional.

The Uchiha clan is characterized by morbidity, neuroticism, susceptibility to stimulation, and highly emotional nature. The Hyuga clan is conservative, feudal, corrupt, and prone to sibling rivalry.

Mashiro had discovered this in her previous life. The main family of the Hyuga clan oppressed the branch family, and the members of the branch family had almost no status. Moreover, because of the Byakugan, they were obsessed with taijutsu and rarely learned other ninjutsu except for the family's jutsu and basic ninjutsu such as the Three Body Technique.

Extremely conservative. Even the Uchiha clan, obsessed with Fire Release and Genjutsu, possessed a vast collection of other types of ninjutsu, but the Hyuga...

The clan possesses no other ninjutsu techniques besides jutsu.

In her previous life, Mashiro divided the Hyuga main family and branch families, providing them with many ninjutsu to learn. As the branch families grew stronger, they could hardly tolerate the main family being able to kill them at any time through the Caged Bird Technique. Therefore, with Mashiro's instigation, the Hyuga clan civil war broke out. In the end, the main family, which possessed the Caged Bird Technique, won, but the Hyuga clan was also severely weakened as a result.

At that time, Mashiro used the pretext of the Hyuga civil war to arrest Hiashi on charges of treason and used Hiashi to successfully take over the village.

Back in her room, lying on her bed, Mashiro looked out at the moon. What a rare time of peace.

Then Mashiro's gaze deepened.

However, the more peaceful the times, the harder it is to get close to the core of the village.

In his previous life as Uchiha Zero, Mashiro lived during the unstable period following the Third Shinobi World War. Zero rose to prominence very early on through numerous missions.

As a special Jonin, he had a considerable reputation in the village. With his connection to the Uchiha clan, he easily entered the village's inner circle. Later, after using Kotoamatsukami to turn the Third Hokage into his subordinate, he became the Third Hokage's fourth disciple and successfully entered the village's core.

But things are different now. Let's not even talk about whether she has enough strength or not. Even if she does, there aren't that many high-level missions for her to do. Even if she uses the power of another god to control the third generation, it's still the same. Without the accumulation of strength and reputation, the third generation can't possibly carry her up on his own.

Therefore, she urgently needs a stepping stone, such as the identity of the head of the Hyuga family.

Chapter Four: The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.

Mashiro had been paying attention to that strange dream all along. That dream made everyone dream of what Uchiha Zero had done to them in another world.

Mashiro guessed that the appearance of that dream was related to the system bringing her from another world to this world.

Mashiro asked Hinata and Iruka about the dream in detail, and their answers were basically the same: the dream only contained their experiences with Uchiha Zero, and there was no other information. Moreover, they had forgotten a lot of the content, and could only recall some important information.

For example, what Ida can remember now is Uchiha Zero's teasing of her, so she has always wondered why she would tolerate his coercion. And what Iruka can remember now is Uchiha Zero's promotion of him after becoming Hokage.

Seeing Naruto's reaction this morning, I understood that Naruto didn't know he was the Fourth Hokage's child. What he dreamed about was probably Uchiha Zero's care and betrayal.

So for the vast majority of people, this dream is just a dream, and they don't care about it at all, putting it out of their minds.

However, it's different for many vested interests. They all hope that what happens in dreams is real. For example, the Uchiha clan. In Mashiro's previous life, the massacre of the clan still occurred. However, at that time, the Third Hokage was already controlled by Kotoamatsukami, so Zero successfully saved a portion of the Uchiha clan, including one of Zero's most beloved women, Uchiha Izumi. This remaining Uchiha clan member was stripped of his power in the police department and then secretly transferred by Zero to the newly established living quarters department, responsible for handling the living problems of Konoha residents, in order to change the image of the Uchiha clan in the minds of Konoha residents.

Then, when Zero became the emperor of the Land of Fire, the Uchiha clan became royalty.

Therefore, if the Uchiha clan still existed, they would definitely become his loyal followers, but unfortunately, the Uchiha clan has now been completely wiped out by Itachi.

However, there were still some people, Mashiro believed, who couldn't resist coming to Konoha to investigate. Under the moonlight, Mashiro's shadow stretched long, revealing over a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes. In a cave near Konoha, Sasori seemed lost in thought.

But for some reason, the shadow cast by the moonlight in the cave was now almost completely black.

Sasori's aura sharpened, and a dark shadow enveloped him, from which a dozen or so figures suddenly emerged. Sasori looked at the strange ninjas surrounding him, and just as he was about to attack, a clear, female voice rang out. "Long time no see, Sasori."

Immediately afterwards, two shadowy ninjas appeared from the shadows, accompanied by Mashiro.

The white Hyuga family uniform, the pure white Byakugan, and the alabaster-white skin formed a stark contrast with the pitch-black night, the pitch-black shadows, and the pitch-black ninja.

Looking at this incredibly bizarre combination, Sasori, hidden in Ryuko, asked in a hoarse voice, "Heh, you know me, you brat from the Hyuga clan." Stepping on the dark shadows, Mashiro slowly walked forward.

“Let’s give Guitu a soul together, Sasori,” Mashiro said to Sasori. Sasori remained silent.

After a moment, he said, "You know Uchiha Zero, does that mean he really exists?"

In Mashiro's previous life, she used Orochimaru's research to successfully help Sasori achieve his life goal, giving him the soul of Gui, allowing his deceased parents to be reborn in Gui, and also granting Sasori the freedom of his soul.

Sasori desperately wanted Uchiha Zero to exist in the world, so after chasing a rogue ninja to the Land of Fire, he couldn't help but come to the place where he and Uchiha Zero were doing research together.

“Of course I know Uchiha Zero. You could say I am Uchiha Zero. Because of that dream, I was forced to hide. This body is the vessel I use to operate in Konoha. But no matter what, Sasori, I will help you fulfill that wish.” Mashiro said as she came into Sasori’s body.

“Why should I believe you?” Scorpion retorted.

"Because I am Uchiha Zero." Mashiro said in a drawn-out tone.

"What do you want me to do?" Sasori said after a moment of silence. Mashiro laughed and whispered in Sasori's ear... After Mashiro finished speaking, Sasori burst into laughter.

"I now completely believe you are Zero. Only that madman could come up with such a plan."

"Also, when you see Orochimaru, tell him for me that I know the answer he wants, and that he should come to Konoha to find me during the next Chunin Exams." After saying this, Mashiro disappeared into the shadows.

Immediately afterwards, all the shadowy ninjas transformed into pitch-black shadows and vanished from the spot. Shortly after, Sasori also left the cave.

Back in her room, Mashiro lay on the bed, looked at the moon in the sky, and slowly closed her eyes. Before falling asleep, Mashiro whispered, "Tenseigan..." and then drifted off to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Mashiro and Hinata arrived at school together, accompanied by Hyuga Haruha. Mashiro still brought an extra bottle of milk.

Mashiro listened with great interest to the theoretical lessons. In her previous life, she had never attended a ninja academy; she had trained in her clan for a few years before directly participating in the Chunin Exams and being sent out on missions.

Seeing Mashiro constantly taking notes, Sakura, already feeling competitive, also quickly started taking notes. When she saw that Mashiro hadn't taken as many notes as she had, Sakura secretly felt happy.

"Um, Mashiro, can I borrow your notebook to take a look?" Kiba said to Mashiro.

Yesterday when he got home, his mother told him that Mashiro had just recovered and that he should play with Mashiro a lot and get along well with her. "Okay, here you go, your tooth." Mashiro smiled and handed him the notebook.

"Kiba, why did you ask Mashiro for a loan instead of asking me? Do you like her?" Koro said. "Well, your notebook has too many words in it, I don't want to read it," Kiba said, shutting Sakura up.

Seeing Sakura, who was angry inside but still acted cleverly, Mashiro couldn't help but find it interesting. She hadn't done anything to Sakura in her past life, so perhaps she could try this time.

Thinking this, Mashiro looked at Sakura and smiled sweetly.

For some reason, Sakura felt that Mashiro's smile was a little strange, so she quickly turned to look at the blackboard. Soon they were outside, and today, as usual, the professor was throwing kunai and shuriken.

This happens to be one of the Uchiha clan's strengths; Mashiro had thrown it countless times in his previous life.

Having completed his throwing mission ahead of time amidst Iruka's startled announcement, Shinji sat down next to Sasuke, who had also finished his mission early. "Something wrong?" Sasuke asked coolly.

"I just feel sorry for Sasuke-kun; his clan was destroyed by his brother," Mashiro said with a sigh. These words were undoubtedly dancing on Sasuke's nerves.

Sasuke suppressed the urge to activate his Sharingan and beat Mashiro up, and said coldly, "What exactly do you mean?" Mashiro leaned closer to Sasuke and whispered in his ear, "Sasuke-kun, do you still remember that strange dream?"

Chapter 5: Sakura, you don't want to be separated from Sasuke either, do you?

"What do you mean?" Sasuke's emotions calmed down when he mentioned that dream.

In Sasuke's dream, the night of the Uchiha massacre still happened, but because of Zero Uchiha's existence, the Uchiha clan was not completely wiped out, and a small number of clan members still survived. However, because of this, Sasuke went from being the young master of the Uchiha clan to a sinner of the Uchiha clan. Even though the massacre had nothing to do with him, the remaining clan members still transferred their hatred for Itachi onto Sasuke. At that time, his brother betrayed him, his parents were killed, and Sasuke, who was blamed by everyone, almost wanted to commit suicide. It was Izumi and Zero who cared for and looked after him.

As he thought about it, Sasuke's thoughts began to drift far away. If only such a person really existed.

Mashiro and Sasuke were very close at this moment. Naruto looked on with incredibly complicated emotions, and Sakura couldn't accept it at all. She put down the kunai she was holding and came to their side. "Mashiro-kun, there are some things I don't understand about throwing kunai. Can you teach me?" Sakura said to Mashiro while pretending to be cute, even though she was internally cursing.

Mashiro looked at Sakura with great interest. [Name: Haruno Sakura]

He whispered in Sasuke's ear, "Stay up a little later tonight." What? Sasuke was utterly confused.

Ignoring Sasuke's doubts, Mashiro stood up, looked at Xiaolou, and said, "Of course."

As night fell, Sasuke tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He kept thinking about the dream and what Mashiro had said that morning. He got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then shook his head violently.

Two pairs of scarlet eyes appeared out of nowhere in the mirror. Five years passed quickly.

Over the past five years, Mashiro has done a lot of things, yet it seems like she hasn't done anything at all.

Mashiro got up, dressed, washed up, and looked at herself in the mirror. She was twelve years old now. So, it should be okay, right?

Hinata came to the Ninja Academy with Mashiro. Over the years, Hinata's dependence on Mashiro has become pathological. Even Hiashi feels that the two are too close, but Mashiro has no objection to it.

"Good morning, Zhenbai." "Good morning, Ya."

"Mashiro, are you coming to play chess again this afternoon?"

"Sorry, Shikamaru, I have something to do this afternoon. Maybe next time."

"Mashiro, the Yunzhi family has released a lot of new clothes recently. Let's go take a look together on Sunday, and bring Hinata along." "Of course, Namino, I'd love to."

"Mashiro, um, do you still have any snacks from the ice cream shop? I'm running out of allowance."

"I'll lend you my membership card after class, but don't eat too many sweets, Choji."

"No, no, I prefer grilled meat to sweets." "Naruto, did you stay up late again last night?"

"No, Mashiro-nee, I would never stay up all night reading comics."
