Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

When each child of the main family turns three, a group of children from the branch families are branded with the [Caged Bird] curse mark.

The most outstanding children among those who split up the family would have the opportunity to become personal guards for the children of the main family.

Hinata Hyuga, as the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan, is the only candidate to succeed as the clan leader, so her third birthday is naturally of great importance to the Hyuga clan.

Other ninja clans from Konoha and some nobles from the Land of Fire would come to the Hyuga clan to offer their congratulations.

"Unfortunately, this also means that things are destined to be turbulent for the foreseeable future," Hinata Unkawa thought to himself with a sneer.

Since Hinata Hyuga is already three years old, it means that the Hidden Cloud Village will soon come to Konoha to sign a ceasefire agreement, and at the same time plan to kidnap Hinata Hyuga.

This period will also be a good opportunity for Hinata Kumokawa to make plans.

As they pondered, the two walked out of the house side by side, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere remaining pleasant throughout.

Until they reached the gates of the near-sunset clan territory...

"stop."

A cold voice came from the side, causing the two to stop in their tracks.

Hinata Kumokawa squinted, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a disgusted face.

"Hyuga Kumokawa".

The Hyuga clansman on duty stood by the gate and coldly questioned, "Today is Lady Aoi's extra training day. As her attendant, why aren't you by her side? Where are you going?"

Chapter 7 Reincarnation Eye

Almost every member of the Hyuga clan's branch family has a main family member they are responsible for serving, who is called a "servant" but is actually a "maid".

Not every member of the main family is as gentle as Hinata Hyuga. If you're unlucky enough to be assigned to serve a member of the main family with a bad personality, you'll have to act as a "training punching bag" in addition to being a "servant".

Coincidentally, the main family member that Hyuga Kumokawa serves is such a guy who doesn't value the lives of the branch family.

The guy in front of me is just a good dog.

Hyuga Kumokawa's smile faded slightly. He ignored the Hyuga clansman's deliberate provocation and continued walking outside.

The other party clearly hadn't expected that Hyuga Kumokawa, who had always passively accepted the rumors, would ignore him. His face darkened instantly, and he called out his name in a deep voice, "Hyuga Kumokawa, I'm asking you a question!"

Hinata Kumokawa continued walking, ignoring him, and Might Guy simply shrugged and followed.

"Useless trash! I told you to stop right there!"

An angry voice came from behind, followed by the whistling sound of wind breaking through the air.

That guy actually grabbed Hinata Kumokawa's shoulder, and the force he used showed absolutely no kinship whatsoever.

Matt Kai stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed, and he was about to intervene.

But the moment that hand landed on his shoulder, Hyuga Kumokawa's body trembled violently like a pine tree shaking in the snow. A penetrating force instantly traveled through his entire body to his shoulder, causing the Hyuga clansman to feel a numbness in his hand.

The next moment, before the astonished Hyuga clansmen could react...

Without turning his head, Hinata Kumokawa bent one arm, stepped forward with his left foot, and moved his body in a "circle". The white hem of his clothes moved and swirled gently, revealing his well-defined abdominal muscles as he pushed his palm out.

In the eyes of the Hyuga clan, his right hand was first knocked away, and Hyuga Kumokawa in front of him disappeared at a speed of almost "instantaneous movement," lowering his body and placing his palm on his abdomen.

Then, an unimaginable force, far surpassing his own, surged up from that palm and engulfed him like a tidal wave.

Bang! !

The terrifying force erupted instantly within half a centimeter, enough to shake rocks, striking the Hyuga clansman's body and causing him to bend over as if struck by a battering ram.

Just as a mouthful of blood was about to spit out from the Hyuga clansman's mouth.

"It would be bad if there was blood." A nonchalant voice reached my ears.

Hinata Kumokawa, with his right palm facing upward and elbow pointing downward, expressionlessly patted Hinata's chin.

A crisp "snap" sound rang out, and the mouthful of foul blood that had risen to his throat was swallowed back down.

"Cough! Cough!!"

The Hyuga clansman's face contorted in pain as he clutched his throat and abdomen, collapsing weakly to his knees before Hyuga Kumokawa.

"How dare you..."

His white eyes bulged slightly, with veins standing out around them. He stared intently at Hinata Kumokawa.

However, upon meeting those calm eyes, the rest of his sentence inexplicably caught in his throat, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

It was a chill that came from nowhere, like a venomous snake crawling across my body, pressing down on me little by little with its icy temperature.

He's actually afraid?

How could I be afraid of this good-for-nothing...

Hinata Kumokawa looked down at him, a smile returning to his face.

He gently patted his shoulder, ignoring his slightly trembling body, and walked out of the clan's territory with Matt Kai beside him.

"I never expected you to go to this extent!"

Throughout the journey, Might Guy remained relaxed, expressing only curiosity about Hinata Kumokawa's actions.

He had naturally heard of Hinata Kumokawa's past "deeds," but Hinata Kumokawa was a friend he acknowledged, and he felt that Kumokawa was not the "good-for-nothing" he was rumored to be.

Putting everything else aside, just based on that martial art he had never seen before, which seemed to combine steel fist and soft fist techniques, he thought it was far superior to those self-imposed limitations of the Hyuga clan.

He just didn't understand why Yun Chuan kept ignoring the rumors.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, senior. After all, they are my kinsmen, and I didn't want to go too far," Hinata Kumokawa said apologetically.

Matt Kai shook his head and grinned, "You did the right thing. Youth should not be tainted."

[Ding! Your lie has been judged as [blank fabrication]. Matt Kai experienced a slight emotional fluctuation, reaching the level of [complete belief], and gained 200 truth points...]

This is of course a lie.

Why didn't we pay attention to it before?

On the one hand, the plan against Orochimaru had not yet succeeded, and a harmless "useless" image would be more useful to him.

on the other hand……

"When the dog at the village entrance barks, the other dogs bark too, but they don't know why they bark."

"If you stop and throw stones to drive away every barking stray dog, you won't have anything else to do."

Hinata Kumokawa smiled to himself.

He felt absolutely no emotional response to that nameless extra.

His actions were partly to test new tactics he had come up with, and partly to lay the groundwork for his next plan.

Only rats hide in the gutter; no one will believe the words of a "rat."

Just like when Danzo Shimura says something, the villagers will only say, "Who is this old codger?" But when Hiruzen Sarutobi says something casually, no matter how bizarre it is, they will subconsciously doubt that they have failed to understand it.

A lie only becomes truth when it comes from the mouth of someone who has power and authority.

The bloodline's transformation of Hyuga Kumokawa was from the inside out, from the ethereal perception and talent to the physical strength.

Without external interference, the transformation and purification of the body by bloodline should be a long and slow process, gradually becoming stronger over time.

Hinata Kumokawa can't wait too long. He needs more "realization points," so he needs to get closer to other high-quality targets and appropriately demonstrate his abilities to increase his own value.

The "resistance" just now was only the first step.

If nothing unexpected happens, more people will soon learn that he was subjected to human experimentation and modification by Orochimaru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has likely already brought Yamato, now codenamed "Kō," under his command. As one of Orochimaru's only two surviving experimental subjects, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura will undoubtedly try to test him.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Kumokawa recalled his eyes again, his eyes flashing, and he silently recited in his heart: "Conjuration item—the Pure Byakugan that can be fused to awaken the Tenseigan."

[Will the 10000 Realization Points spent materialize?]

"It's just enough to manifest?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kumokawa hesitated for a moment, and just to be on the safe side, he tentatively recited in his mind: "The way to open the Tenseigan by fusing the materialized item—the pure Byakugan—with the pure Otsutsuki bloodline."

【Insufficient points】

"..." Hinata Kumokawa's face immediately darkened. "As expected, something is still missing."

Thankfully, I didn't fall for that damn system's tricks.

If he impulsively spends all his savings and ends up with nothing but a pair of useless disdainful looks, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

"In that case, the second method is the safest and most reliable option." Hinata Kumokawa frowned.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan should be of higher purity than that of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon. The only problem is that their numbers are far fewer than those of the Otsutsuki clan, who have peacefully occupied the moon for thousands of years. It's also unknown whether the entire clan could fuse their eyes to create the Tenseigan...

"Cough cough."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Hyuga Kumokawa couldn't help but cough and quickly muttered "Forgive me, forgive me" to himself.

Gouging out all his eyes is just too evil; he's not that beast Itachi Uchiha.

We only need to dig up the Hyuga clan members who have awakened their Sharingan; there's no point in digging up the ordinary people who haven't.

Of course, this is something he can't do.

He has better candidates.

Now, all that's left is for those old fogies to show their ugly faces.

Chapter 8 Konoha Can't Afford to Gamble Anymore

Inside the Hokage Building, in an office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back in his chair, eyes downcast and silent, puffing out smoke from his pipe.

The air was as stuffy as a clay pot under high pressure, making one want to smash the walls or open the lid to escape.

"Cough cough!"

The unbearable silence was broken only when Xiaochun, who was turning over in the dormitory, couldn't help but cough.

"Hiruzen, about this matter..."

Mitokado Homura breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Danzo who was stubbornly refusing to back down, and then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him, advising, "This time, Danzo did indeed go a bit too far..."

"Conducting Wood Release experiments in secret, hoarding research results and Wood Release ninjas—isn't that going too far enough?"

Before Mitokado Homura could continue to defend Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted expressionlessly, "That's Wood Release! Don't tell me you don't understand what that means!"

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura's old face flushed slightly, and he looked helplessly at Shimura Danzo.

Yes, that's a Wood Release ninja.

Who would have thought that Danzo had become so audacious as to secretly harbor Wood Release ninjas?

If it weren't for the investigation into Orochimaru's defection, they wouldn't know that Wood Release had reappeared.

Danzo's current control over "Root" has even made Mitokado Homura somewhat uneasy.

"Root is the root of Konoha, the root of the Anbu, and my root. But now, they dare to conceal such crucial information from me, the Hokage. Does that mean..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, squinted at Danzo, and questioned, "Has it become an independent organization for some people to profit from?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo, who had been expressionless, said in a deep voice, "Everything I have done is for Konoha."

Hearing his old buddy's resounding response, Hiruzen Sarutobi silently exhaled a puff of smoke, his face shrouded in a hazy white mist, appearing unpredictable from Danzo's perspective.

"Hiruzen..."

Koharu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up.

"Enough." Hearing that they were going to plead for Danzo again, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand impatiently, signaling them to stop talking.

After Tobirama died due to a plot by the Hidden Cloud Village, he was appointed Hokage in a time of crisis.

But the "Hokage" position was different from his youthful fantasies. Upon taking office, he faced the pressure of war and the ninja clan, which shattered his illusions about the Hokage position.

Both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans initially treated him as someone who obeyed orders but not commands.

Fortunately, as Hokage, he had a sense of righteousness when vying for power, and in addition to the Sarutobi clan, he also had the support of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Therefore, he adopted a strategy of attacking one group and then recruiting another. With the assistance of Danzo and others, he used some special methods to put the two powerful ninja clans, Uchiha and Hyuga, into conflict.

Finally, he secured his position as Hokage, grasped the power that belonged to the Hokage, and placed his confidants in important departments.
