All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Uchiha Sho slowly sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"It's not a plan, it's already decided. I'm here today just to inform everyone of the specific arrangements."

The crisp sound of the teacup hitting the table was particularly jarring in the quiet Japanese-style room.

Hyuga Hizashi's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, while Hyuga Hiashi narrowed his eyes.

"What arrogance! Even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare to be so cocky."

Hyuga Ichiro slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Uchiha brat, what do you think—"

"Elder Ichiro!"

Hiashi Hyuga shouted a resounding command to stop him, but by the time he turned to Uchiha Zou, the atmosphere had returned to calm.

"Vice Minister, the Hyuga clan does indeed intend to cooperate with the Security Department. But the specific candidates..."

"I've already decided on the candidate."

Uchiha Enoki interrupted.

"Hyuga Rin performed exceptionally well as one of the first Hyuga ninjas to join the Security Department. Next, I hope that the Hyuga clan can send twenty branch family ninjas to join the Security Department's special operations team."

Hyuga Ichiro's face instantly turned ashen.

"Ridiculous! How can a mere branch family represent the Hyuga clan! If anyone should be sent, it should be the main family—"

"Oh?"

Uchiha Ei suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down Hyuga Rin's spine—every time he showed that smile, someone was about to suffer a terrible fate.

"Elder Ichiro means that the main family is willing to let the precious Byakugan bloodline limit holder patrol the streets? To deal with drunken brawls? To mediate disputes among villagers?"

The indoor temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Hiashi Hyuga's fingers tapped unconsciously on his knees—this was his biggest concern.

The main family's Byakugan must not be easily exposed to danger, but if the branch families are fully involved, the main family's control will be weakened.

"actually……"

Hyuga Hizashi opened his mouth at the right time.

"The fact that the Hyuga family is splitting up to participate in security work may not be a bad thing for them. We can use this to expand our influence among the villagers."

Uchiha Eiji gave Hyuga Hizashi an approving look: "The Hyuga clan still has some wise people, and..."

He deliberately dragged out his tone.

"The Special Operations Team of the Security Department is qualified to access all ninjutsu files of the Security Department, including... certain lost Gentle Fist techniques."

These words were like a red-hot iron thrown into ice water. The five elders straightened up simultaneously, and even Hiashi Hyuga, who had remained silent until now, had his pupils shrink slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Hyuga Ichiro's voice trembled.

Uchiha Sho took out a yellowed scroll from his pocket and casually tossed it onto the table.

"For example, this? The complete training method for the Hyuga-style Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms? As far as I know, the version currently circulating in the Hyuga clan... is missing eight palms?"

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly stood up.

"That's impossible! That part of the tradition dates back to the Warring States period—"

"It was lost in the war?"

Uchiha Xiang tilted his head, a hint of crimson flashing in his eyes.

"What a coincidence, I just happened to find a copy in the Uchiha Forbidden Library."

The room was deathly silent. Hinata Rin stared in shock at the scroll. As a member of the branch family, she had only learned thirty-two forms of Baguazhang, but this man had casually produced a secret technique that had been lost even by the main family!

Hyuga Ichiro suddenly sneered.

“Even so, Hyuga Rin, a mere branch family maid, is not worthy of an important position! My grandson, Hyuga Kazuma, has already awakened his Sharingan and is far more suitable—”

"boom!"

Uchiha Sho suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, causing the teacup to bounce and shatter.

His eyes turned crimson in an instant, and the three black tomoe spun wildly, eventually merging into a bizarre windmill shape.

Chapter 38, Hiruzen, don't make one mistake after another.

"Kaleidoscope Sharingan!"

Hyuga Hizashi cried out in alarm.

The terrifying power of the eyes pressed down on everyone's nerves as if it were a tangible force.

Hyuga Ichiro looked like a chicken being choked, his face turning from red to white, and finally to ashen.

His body trembled uncontrollably, his white eyes opened involuntarily, but the moment he met those blood-red eyes, he screamed and covered his eyes.

"Elder Ichiro!"

The other elders hurriedly helped the swaying old man.

Uchiha Eiji slowly withdrew his vast eye power, his voice terrifyingly soft.

"As I said, the choice has already been made. It's not that the Uchiha are begging the Hyuga to cooperate, but rather that I'm giving you an opportunity."

He bent down, picked up the scroll of secret techniques, and waved it in front of Hyuga Ichiro.

"Or... does the Hyuga clan not need this?"

Hiashi Hyuga took a deep breath: "That's enough!"

He solemnly bowed to Uchiha Sō.

"Vice Minister, the Hyuga clan is willing to fully support the reform of the Security Department. Twenty elite members of the branch family will be on duty within three days, with Rin... serving as the captain."

"Chieftain!"

The other elders of the Hyuga clan exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up!"

Hyuga Hiashi, unusually, lost his temper and roared, but regained his composure when he turned to Uchiha Zousuke.

"About that secret technique..."

Uchiha Ebo casually tossed the scroll to him:

"It's a pleasure to cooperate, Chief Rizu."

He turned and walked out, but suddenly stopped.

"By the way, the Security Department has established a new medical subsidy fund, which provides free medical care for all members' immediate family members. Rin's parents... should they need this?"

Hinata Rin was jolted awake—her parents had been injured during a mission last year, but because of their status as a member of a separate family, they had not received proper treatment, and tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.

Hiashi Hyuga gave Rin Hyuga a deep look:

"I will personally arrange for the best medical ninjas."

As they left the Hyuga clan's territory, the setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them.

Hinata Rin finally broke down in tears: "Zhou-kun, why..."

Why should I help you?

Uchiha Xiang looked up at the sky, a maniacal smile on his lips.

"Because it's fun, because we're comrades. Watching those decaying old fogies get frustrated is more satisfying than killing ten Jonin."

He suddenly turned around and grabbed Hinata Rin's shoulder, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

“Remember, from today onwards, you are not just a member of the Hyuga branch family, but also a member of Uchiha Sō. Starting tomorrow, I want you to personally train those twenty Hyuga ninjas—using the methods I've given you.”

Hyuga Rin was stunned: "The...method you gave me?"

Uchiha Sho pulled out another scroll from his robes: "Improved Gentle Fist, incorporating the nature transformation of Uchiha Fire Release chakra. Once mastered, your Eight Trigrams Palm will be able to produce a burning effect."

He leaned close to Ling's ear and whispered.

"That's enough for you to do whatever you want in the Hyuga clan."

……

The day before the Cloud Village delegation arrived, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was looking at the report sent by the Anbu when he almost dropped his pipe.

"What? The Hyuga clan sent twenty people to join the security force? And it's the branch family leading the team?"

Xiaochun, who had just moved to another room, slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"This is outrageous! With the Uchiha and Hyuga joining forces, who in Konoha can stop them?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette, his gaze complex.

"What's even more troublesome is that... the Ino-Shika-Cho trio just submitted an application to send people to join the security department as well."

Mitokado Yan's face turned ashen.

"That Uchiha brat... what exactly is he trying to do?"

"Uchiha Sō!"

The name that Hiruzen Sarutobi whispered came from his investigation by the Anbu, revealing everything that had happened at the Uchiha clan meeting.

He wasn't too concerned at first, just thinking that young people inevitably become a bit arrogant after making military achievements.

However, his actions now that he has become the vice minister of the security department are clearly not just about influencing the Uchiha clan.

A chilling killing intent flickered in Hiruzen Sarutobi's aged yet bright eyes.

That's too much. Uchiha Enoki went too far.

If he only coveted the position of Uchiha clan leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi could tolerate it.

The Uchiha clan has always pretended to be Konoha people, and Konoha has always pretended to acknowledge the Uchiha clan as Konoha people; this is common knowledge in Konoha.

As long as the Uchiha clan leader's heart remains with Konoha, everything is still under control.
