Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Gamamaru spoke coldly: "With such immense spiritual power, my dream world can't hold him off for long. Once he returns to the ninja world from the vast universe, you'll be in trouble!"

"Aren't you going to get into trouble?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression remained unchanged, his tone calm: "Now you and I are nothing more than grasshoppers on the same rope. If you don't join forces with me, can you stop Minazuki Yoru on your own?"

Nonsense, of course I can't stop them, otherwise why would I be here now!

Seeing that Hagoromo Otsutsuki was so calm and collected, not taking action until he saw the benefit, Gamamaru was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger.

Who told him to suffer such heavy losses and have his strength greatly diminished, causing the balance of power in what was originally an equal partnership to tip directly in Yu Yi's favor?

"Hagoromo, you'd better have a plan that can deal with Minazuki Yoru!" Gamamaru said through gritted teeth. "Otherwise, once Minazuki Yoru returns, as the master of souls, he will not let you, who are occupying the Pure Land of the Underworld, go unpunished."

"Do not worry."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki spoke calmly: "I really wasn't very confident to begin with, after all, Ashura and Indra were devoured by that guy, and the ninja world has become his backyard."

"But some remarkable discoveries gave me an opportunity."

"An incredible discovery?" Gamamaru asked in bewilderment.

"Ah, a guy hidden in the ninja world, someone even you and I haven't discovered." Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's tone was gloomy, the Rinnegan in his eye sockets seemingly piercing the boundary between life and death, landing on a certain place in the ninja world: "Under the pressure from Mizuki Yoru, he can no longer hold back."

Chapter 295 Shimura Danzo VS Hozuki Gengetsu

The ninja world is never as simple as it seems on the surface.

This thing looks calm and weak, only a tiny bit big, yet even a Kage-level being could seem to swim freely inside it.

Throughout the thousands of years of the ninja world, the truly powerful individuals have never dared to cause trouble on this continent.

Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, amassed strength in the Weeping Kingdom, while Obito, who inherited Madara Uchiha's legacy, proceeded cautiously.

Black Zetsu plotted and bewitched the Ninja Clan.

The single note of the Compassionate String has been waiting for a thousand years.

The Hagoromo and Hamura brothers defeated their mother and became the rulers of this world.

The feathered robes dispersed the Ten-Tails, spreading chakra. Hamura guarded the moon, overlooking the ninja world for a thousand years. Neither of them acted recklessly in this world, but instead exercised great restraint and meticulous planning.

Everything, everything, stems from fear and restraint!

Nagato was worried about the power of the great powers.

Obito was wary of the power of the Shadow and Mizukiyo.

Black Zetsu was wary of his six brothers in the Yellow Springs Pure Land.

The Six Paths Brothers were even more worried about their mother's seal and the existence of the Otsutsuki clan!

Layer upon layer of restrictions, layer upon layer of shackles.

The self-restraint of each powerful individual and the pressure from the unseen forces transformed this shark pool, where even a Super Kage was nothing more than an ant, into a kindergarten for Kage-level overlords.

The most terrifying thing is that while everyone is hiding themselves and trying to test the waters, there is actually an even more sinister presence!

In a hidden corner unknown to anyone, there exists another being, lying dormant throughout the thousand-year history of the ninja world, gathering strength...

Otsutsuki Ishiki!

Until the sudden appearance of Mizukiyo, which disrupted everything.

This noble Otsutsuki clan, which has existed in the ninja world for a thousand years and descended upon the ninja world along with the goddess of the rabbit, finally revealed its true colors under the pressure of Mizuki Yoru.

"I never imagined that my mother's clan had already descended upon the ninja world and had been secretly watching everything all along."

In the Pure Land of the Underworld, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, said with a complicated expression, "If it weren't for that guy, Mizuki Yoru, I probably wouldn't have discovered its existence at all, nor would I have discovered the contingency plan my mother left behind."

"A relative of the Goddess of the Rabbit?!"

Gamamaru's eyes widened in shock at Hagoromo's words.

Compared to the Six Paths brothers who were constantly plotting in the Pure Land of the Underworld, he, who was in Mount Myōboku, actually had a deeper understanding of the ninja world and knew more.

For example, when Minazuki Yoru suddenly appeared, Gamamaru had already noticed his existence.

For example, the goddess's third son, who was secretly hiding from the Six Paths Brothers and plotting everything, was actually already known to Gamamaru.

However, in Gamamaru's view, both of these forces could be used to counterbalance Hagoromo, so he never made a fuss or tried to stop it.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits.

However, now that he's gone too far, he can no longer be the so-called fisherman.

Actually, aside from Minazuki Yoru's growth rate being a bit beyond expectations and Black Zetsu's scheming progress being unexpected, Gamamaru's original idea was not wrong.

Unexpectedly, there are still experts in the ninja world!

The news that the goddess of the rabbit was a member of the same clan was like a bomb to Gamamaru, leaving him somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

"What exactly happened!" Gamamaru stared intently at the Sage of Six Paths: "Hagoromo, you and I both know what it means to be related to the Goddess of the Rabbit!"

"Ah, of course I understand."

The Sage of Six Paths nodded slightly. No one understood the threat posed by his mother's clan better than him; it was a true terror!

"Over the years, although I have been in the underworld, I have been using my chakra to try my best to conceal my whereabouts in the ninja world, so as to avoid being observed by my mother's clan before the plan is carried out."

"Then why are there still members of the same clan as the Goddess of the Rabbit in the ninja world!"

"Because he has been hiding in the ninja world all along!" Hamura Otsutsuki said quietly, "He existed in the ninja world even before my brother and I were born."

"Before you were born..."

Gamamaru muttered to himself, as if certain images were flashing through his mind. His eyes narrowed incessantly, as if he were thinking of something incredibly terrifying.

"Impossible, it can't be that guy."

"He should have died at the hands of the Goddess of the Rabbit long ago, this is impossible!"

Gamamaru couldn't believe it, but upon closer inspection, everything seemed to make sense.

His existence predates that of the Six Paths Brothers; he already existed when the Goddess of the Rabbit descended upon the ninja world.

Not only him, but also the White Snake and the Slug knew about and witnessed that scene that made all creatures in the ninja world despair.

Two gods descended to earth, and the world wailed.

After eliminating all those who dared to resist in this world, the Goddess of the Rabbit killed another god and then planted the Divine Tree.

If there really is an Otsutsuki in this world, or if there really is a hidden Otsutsuki, then it can only be the one who was killed or 'severely injured' by the Goddess of the Rabbit.

There is no other reason.

nature!

Because I have witnessed it, I understand it clearly.

Gamamaru knew very well what kind of beings those guys were; they fed on planets, were noble celestial beings, and were true gods.

For them, everything on this planet—life, values—is meaningless.

Observing the ninja world in secret for a thousand years?

Do not make jokes!

Even the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers were only doing it for their own schemes.

Given the chance, they will not hesitate to devour everything!

"It seems you know some very important information, Gamamaru."

Rokudo observed Gamamaru's reaction.

“It must be that one.” Gamamaru took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Although in my understanding, he should have died long ago, if there is still an Otsutsuki hiding in the ninja world, then it can only be him.”

"Descended with the Goddess of Rabbit, and was ultimately killed by the goddess, but did not die but secretly recuperated."

"Otsutsuki Ichishiki!"

……

"Obito Uchiha, together with Hiruzen Sarutobi, launched a surprise attack on Hueco Mundo and stole the Seven-Tails."

Within the Land of Fire, the Sixth Division Captain, the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, with a toothpick in his mouth, spoke to Hinata beside him: "Everyone knows about Hiruzen Sarutobi's relationship with Danzo. Everything that happened in Konoha should also be related to Obito."

“I know, Lord Huan Yue.”

Hinata nodded slightly. She understood, of course, that Danzo's decision to send her back to Konoha was not simple and might contain great danger.

But she was more worried about her father!

"I cannot ignore Father's safety, Lady Gengetsu." Hinata's tone was soft, but her determination was unwavering. "My teacher once told me that the most important thing in a person's life is their own firm belief, and my belief is to protect them!"

"My abilities may not be enough to protect everything, the entire village, or the Hyuga clan. But my teacher, my father, and my sister—those three are people I will protect even at the cost of my life!"

What a good child!

Hozuki Gengetsu clicked his tongue: "At this stage, Konoha is covered by an unknown chakra, which is why our Black Hole can only open up to this point and cannot directly open up to Konoha."

“Next, when we enter Konoha, we will inevitably be detected by that chakra. If a battle breaks out... I may not be able to take care of you.”

According to news from the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi has mastered the Oni-Garra Technique, and his strength is even greater than Tsunade's.

Danzo may also possess similar combat capabilities.

Once a battle breaks out, he may not fear Danzo, but he will have no time to care about anything else.

"Please rest assured, Lord Huan Yue, you don't need to worry about me."

Hinata spoke softly, her tone firm: "My teacher said I'm very strong!"

Looking into the girl's pure white eyes, Hozuki Gengetsu was somewhat dazed.

He almost forgot that this girl was not only the daughter of the Hyuga main family, but also the only disciple of Mizuki Yoru and a member of her personal guard!

Hozuki Gengetsu ruffled Hinata's hair: "Let's go."

Because Konoha was shrouded in an inexplicable chakra, the two did not rush in directly, but instead headed towards the gate.

They were invited back by Danzo, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to leave through the main gate. Besides, everything happening in Konoha now is unknown; the best approach is to deal with whatever comes our way and adapt accordingly.

"stop!"

"Who is coming!"

The two had just appeared at the entrance of Konoha when they were stopped by two figures.

Hozuki Gengetsu calmly took out a scroll from his robes and tossed it over: "By order of the Fourth Hokage, protect Hinata Hyuga as she returns to Konoha."

The man glanced cautiously at Hozuki Gengetsu, his gaze lingering briefly on Hinata's pure white eyes, before opening the scroll and examining it closely.

A moment later, the man respectfully returned the scroll: "Miss Hinata, please come in. As for this gentleman... please come with me to the Hokage's office."

"Oh?" Hozuki Gengetsu squinted. "What does that mean?"

"I'm sorry, we are just following the Hokage's orders. Please don't make things difficult for us," the ninja said in a low voice, while secretly making a hand gesture. His companion understood and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, a dangerous glint flashed in Hozuki Gengetsu's eyes, while Hinata gently tugged at the hem of Gengetsu's robe.

"It's alright, Lady Huan Yue, I can handle everything."

"Hinata... Alright, then I'll trouble you to lead the way." Hozuki Gengetsu said no more. He trusted Hinata, and besides, if Danzo and his gang really wanted to do something, it wouldn't be easy for him to take action with Hinata here.

"Please come with me."

The Konoha ninja vanished in an instant, followed closely by Hozuki Gengetsu, while Hinata also rushed towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

According to the information provided by Sister Minazuki Akira, Father is most likely under the control of an illusion. If that's the case, all the problems will be solved once I break the illusion.

But if something else happens...

Father, fireworks…

Hinata clenched her small hands and quickened her pace.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Looking at the two figures separated in the crystal ball as he had planned, Danzo toyed with the straw hat that symbolized his Hokage status and said calmly, "I'll handle Hozuki Gengetsu. As for that little girl that guy wants, you go there yourself?"

"Yes, her ability is quite special, so I'll handle this personally. However, Hozuki Gengetsu's strength is also quite impressive, so don't underestimate him."

"hehe!"

Danzo grabbed the Hokage's hat and put it on his head.
