More and more small villages arrived at Konoha.
Since the war had ended and Konoha had become the winner of the third Ninja World battle, these small villages that had been slowly building up for the war immediately sent envoys to show their goodwill to Konoha.
It could be predicted that in the next few years, Konoha's reputation would improve further.
Otogakure's envoy also rushed to Konoha at this time and officially handed over the documents called an alliance but a vassal.
Minato quickly stamped on it and signed the warrant. The contract officially took effect.
"Didn't Otogakure's leader come to Konoha?" Minato suddenly asked as he signed his name.
"Huh? Sorry, I don't know the leader's whereabouts." The ninja of the Fuma clan respectfully said.
"Is that so? It seems that I was mistaken. Two days ago, I received news that Otogakure's leader was inside Konohagakure. I thought your diplomatic mission was divided into two groups." Minato said lightly.
The other side's eyelids trembled and his mouth was bitter.
Facing a strong man like the Fourth Hokage, who came from a declining ninja clan and defected to Orochimaru, he was under a lot of pressure.
"Well, maybe it's someone else. I don't know." The Ninja of Fuma Clan braced himself and said.
"I understand. It seems that the information is wrong. I need to investigate again. Maybe it's a spy sent by other villages to destroy our relationship."
"This, Hokage Sama..."
"There is no need for that. It has been hard on you all the way here. Please go down and rest."
A group of Anbu Ninjas forced Otogakure's messenger away.
Minato then issued a new order to kill Orochimaru.
"This poisonous snake has already attacked the people of Uchiha's clan. Find a way to find it and then kill it... No, the more important thing than this is to find a way to crack the mystery of his continuous resurrection. "
Minato kept thinking.
As far as he knew, Orochimaru was killed by Yuuji once, killed by the leader of the Eye Organization once, but he was resurrected.
The specific resurrection mechanism,
Minato racked his brains but still could not figure it out, let alone what kind of technique could do this.
"Orochimaru, that guy, learned a lot of forbidden techniques from the Book of Seal, such as the Yamata no Orochi, but other than Edo Tensei, I really can't think of any other forbidden technique that can make him constantly revive... Is it his own forbidden technique? Back then, he crazily did human experiments and did not hesitate to defect, just to perfect this forbidden technique?"
In the end, Minato gave this task to Yuuji.
In the entire Konoha, only Yuuji had killed Orochimaru, so he would definitely understand Orochimaru.
"An order to kill Orochimaru? Minato is also anxious. He doesn't want Uchiha's clan to go berserk." Yuuji waved his hand.
Anbu, who was in front of him, respectfully left.
Killing Orochimaru is really nothing to Yuuji, because after the resurrection, Orochimaru has all kinds of strength to stretch his hips.
On the contrary, Orochimaru, who was chased and killed by him after defecting to Konoha, was at his strongest, with the strongest soul power, and aggressively wanted to use the reincarnation of the corpse to take him away.
"Since it is the order of the Hokage, I will obey it. In the end, it is just to kill a dead snake."
Yuuji got up and stretched.
In the command of Root, all kinds of information gathered at all times. From the movements of the Ninja Clan in the village to the movements of Ninja World and the other great Ninja Village, a lot of information would be transmitted to Yuuji.
Generally speaking, Yuuji would arrange a clone to deal with these matters.
"Sir, the operation for Iroha has basically been completed." At this time, Kabuto walked out of the most heavily guarded laboratory with a face full of joy.
"Really? It's been hard on you. How is the effect?"
"I can't give detailed data on the long-term effect, but for the time being, Iroha barely bears the corpse of Otsutsuki." Kabuto wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He dismantled Otsutsuki Toneri's corpse bit by bit and continuously transplanted it into Iroha's body. This operation had been going on for more than a year.
From the first heart transplant to other organs, then skin, bones, muscles, and marrow.
It could be said that apart from the brain, Otsutsuki Toneri's entire body had been torn apart and pieced together into Iroha's body bit by bit.
For now, the best news was that Iroha's self-reflection and willpower had not been replaced by Otsutsuki Toneri's remaining instincts.
This was a ninja from Root's clan of Yamanaka, who had repeatedly confirmed it.
"Very good." A smile appeared on Yuuji's face.
He waited patiently.
It took two whole days.
Only then did Iroha complete the unification and barely managed to stabilize his vital signs.
At this moment, the state of his entire body welcomed an unprecedented leap. The part that belonged to Otsutsuki was crazily merging into his body, continuously sublimating his old existence and turning it into a new life.
At this moment, Hyuga Iroha, who came from a branch family and had a thin bloodline, welcomed his own transformation and rapidly approached Otsutsuki's clan.
"Lord Yuuji." Iroha knelt down on one knee with a face full of respect.
Yuuji looked at him and nodded slightly. His right eye quietly turned into Rinnegan, observing the changes of Iroha.
At this time, Iroha only felt a strong pupil power descending, which made him puzzled in his heart, because according to what he knew, Yuuji did not have special eyes.
But in the end, he did not raise his head, silently waiting for the order of Yuuji.
"Well, although the change is not small, it still barely maintains the shape and appearance of a normal person, vitality and chakra far more than before."
More importantly.
Yuuji observed Iroha's right eye.
This Byakugan that came from clansmen was currently undergoing a drastic change under the stimulation of Otsutsuki's power.
The entire eyeball slightly swelled up. The white pupil hole was constantly undergoing subtle changes. Just inside the eyeball, there were astonishing changes that quickly occurred.
"How do your eyes feel?" Yuuji said lightly.
"It's very uncomfortable, but it gives me an unimaginable power...I feel that my eyes are evolving."
This feeling was very strong.
The entire right eye seemed like it was about to explode, but there was a new power that was growing in the depths of his eye socket.
It was a very slow transformation, but it was a power that truly existed.
When the power that continuously surged from the depths of the eye crossed a critical point.
A new change appeared.
The whites of his eyes were slowly turning gray.
The pupils also began to appear in a color other than white
A power that far exceeded Byakugan's limits was gushing out.
"Looks like I succeeded. I only obtained the eyes by sacrificing one Otsutsuki and one clansmen..." Yuuji continued to observe. At this moment, he nodded slightly.
His efforts in the past had not been in vain, and Otsutsuki Toneri's corpse had not been wasted. It had displayed sufficient value.
It had actually pushed Iroha's transplanted eyes to a whole new stage.
Although it can't be said to be a complete success yet, what remains is only a matter of time, as long as Iroha's patchwork body has a higher degree of fit, a higher degree of adaptability, and the accumulated pupil power reaches the standard.
This right eye would naturally step into a completely new stage.
"Sir, did my eye... succeed? I can feel that a brand new power is brewing..." Iroha said in a low voice.
"It barely succeeded. The power you feel should be the pupil technique that this eye gave you." Yuuji said.
"pupil technique... I also have eyes like Mangekyou Sharingan? Sir, the name of this eye is..."
"Jougan, it should be called this name. As for the specific ability of pupil technique, the most basic is to further strengthen Byakugan's ability." Yuuji replied.
Excluding the exclusive pupil technique, Jougan is an upgraded version of Byakugan, which naturally possesses various abilities of Byakugan. Needless to say, perspective and farsightedness, you can also see the materialization of Chakra, the flow of special Chakra, and the weakness of Chakra.
Iroha had this kind of special eye. Even if it looked extremely reluctant, he sacrificed a Otsutsuki to let one of his eyes successfully advance.
However, this was not important. In any case, Yuuji was just trying. He was already very happy that he could barely succeed.
He stretched out his hand and patted Iroha on the head.
The bird mark on his forehead made a sizzling sound.
"You are no longer the you of the past. Try to use this eye to crack Caged Bird Curse." Yuuji ordered.
Iroha took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
In the next moment, through this eye, he saw all the chakra lines in his brain, and every tiny bit of chakra couldn't be hidden from his eyes.
This kind of vision was already far beyond the limit of Byakugan.
In the vision of Iroha, his brain, especially the part connected to the eye nerve, was spreading a terrible seal. Under the stimulation of chakra, the seal appeared in his vision.
"I can crack it." Iroha's voice was cold. He had enough of this damn seal.
His eyes and brain were all bound by this ghost thing.
"Then destroy this thing and give me the detailed method to crack it. Iroha, maybe you will become the savior of the entire Hyuga branch family..." Yuuji smiled.
Caged Bird Curse was very complicated and dangerous. The main reason was to use it directly to the brain. If he was not careful, his brain would be damaged.
If Konoha's sealing art masters, such as Minato and his ilk, really wanted to crack the caged bird at any cost, it would be possible to succeed, but that would definitely cost the lives of countless Hinata family members, and the loss outweighed the gain.
Now, the bug of Iroha has appeared, and the structure formed in the brain by the caged bird technique has no secrets for Iroha.
"The weakness of this technique is here... As long as this chakra is cut off, the entire seal can not be affected by the chakra..." Iroha worked hard to improve his pupil power, and he was seeing more and more clearly.
Jougan, having the ability to see through the weakness of chakra, was the nemesis of Caged Bird Curse.
In the next moment, Iroha did not hesitate to attack his brain.
He took out a scalpel from his pocket and attached his chakra to it. After pondering for a moment, he directly stabbed his left eye.
Puchi!
Blood splashed.
The left eye that was already blind was forcibly dug out a hole by Iroha. As the scalpel went deeper, more Chakra blades also extended in and gently cut off a certain chakra meridian related to Caged Bird Curse.
The bird seal in the cage was immediately affected.
"Did you succeed?" Yuuji said lightly.
Iroha was silent for a while: "Successful, even if thclansmen use the caged bird technique on me again, it may affect me, but it is absolutely impossible to control and kill me like in the past."
"This is enough, you just have this kind of eyes, for you, breaking the seal is only a matter of time." Yuuji said.
As long as the pupil power is strong enough, the seal can be broken at will.
Sasuke was sealed by Danzo, and he broke it forcibly with Susanoo; Madara was sealed by Gaara and Shukaku, and he also forcibly broke it.
As long as the pupil technique and pupil power are strong enough to ignore most seals.
In this way, the entire Hyuga branch family would become a bargaining chip in Yuuji's hands - of course, he would not use the bargaining chip of the branch family to threaten clansmen. It was very stupid. The huge population of the branch family far surpassed clansmen, so their value was destined to be much more than clansmen.
You know, the Tenseigan thing needs to be born...
"Use this eye well. If you can really control it well, you will have the qualifications to touch Kage level. This is the power that can suppress the entire Hyuga family." Yuuji warned Iroha.
"Then, we should think of a way to find Orochimaru... At this time, that guy should have already escaped."
Yuuji turned and walked out of Root's base.
Only Kabuto and Iroha were left.
"Senior Iroha, you must take good care of your eyes. If you encounter any problems, you must tell me. I can help you." He took a step forward.
Iroha took a step back. "I understand."
"No, senior, you don't understand. This eye will not only bring unprecedented upheaval to the Hyuga clan, but also involve the descendants of Otsutsuki on the moon, and it may also be related to the creation god. As far as the existing information is concerned , We know too little about the eyes beyond the Byakugan, within the ninja world, you are unique, and you definitely represent more than yourself." Kabuto tried his best to move closer to Iroha, with a strange look on his face.
Iroha looked at Kabuto with indifference.
He had been dealing with this seemingly harmless fellow all this time, and he knew very well what kind of obsession and madness was hidden under Kabuto's gentle and refined face.
It was very dangerous to be with this kind of person, and the instinct to avoid harm made Iroha very vigilant.
"I will make good use of my eyes."
Iroha directly left Root's base with a flash technique. Even though his heart was in turmoil, his face was still paralyzed, and he returned to Hyuga's territory.
Some guards glanced at Iroha and did not stop him.
As soon as he entered the street of the clan, he bumped into Hoheto, who was walking in a hurry.
"Iroha? Why are you here?" Hoheto frowned and subconsciously took a step back, taking precautions.
But soon, his face changed and he looked at Iroha's right eye with shock.
"Your eyes... have become stronger again"
"This has nothing to do with you. You are blocking my way." Iroha used an extremely oppressive gaze to press down on Hoheto.
The two of them were geniuses from the branch family and were also in the same period.
However, the path that the two of them took was completely different.
Hoheto's expression was uncertain, and a trace of anxiety flashed through his eyes. He said coldly, "You bastard. Although I don't know what Yuuji did to you, you are essentially a member of Root's department. You are a spy sent by Root to monitor the family!"
"Do you think you are very smart? Everyone knows my identity and significance. Hiashi and Lord Hizashi know clearly." Iroha directly ignored Hoheto and walked into the clan grounds.
"... What are you proud of? Bastard! Why did such powerful eyes appear on a fellow who almost betrayed his clan? "
Hoheto gritted his teeth.
He will also have eyes that surpassed Byakugan's!
