CH 231

Each person had their own plans, but those who could actually take action and even abandon their clan were extremely rare.

Now, Hoheto clearly couldn’t bear it anymore. The anxiety and desire in his heart tortured him crazily.

He didn’t know how Iroha did it, but Hoheto was indeed very hostile to this guy who abandoned Hyuga’s clan and joined Root’s clan to obtain great power.

The power that surpassed Byakugan should not be controlled by someone like Iroha.

“I have already stolen clansmen’s forbidden scroll. It must have recorded the secrets of the bird-secret art in the cage…”

Hoheto turned his head and glanced at Iroha’s back that was neither fast nor slow. He secretly gritted his teeth.

It had been delayed for too long.

On the night when the leader of Kumogakure attacked Hyuga Hinata and the entire Kumogakure diplomatic mission was massacred by Hyuga’s family, Hoheto seized the opportunity to sneak into the secret forbidden land of Hyuga’s family and found the scroll that recorded the core secrets.

The significance of this seal scroll to Hyuga’s family was the same as the meaning of the seal book to Konohagakure.

According to Hoheto’s plan, breaking the seal of the seal was only a matter of time.

In the past few years, he had been secretly studying sealing techniques and successfully breaking the seal in the core region of the clan. He had stolen the seal without alarming anyone, so it should be logical for him to spend some time breaking the seal on the seal scroll.

However, reality made Hoheto suffer. He had failed.

Originally, he had thought that the war between Konoha and Kumogakure would continue for a period of time. In order to atone for their sins, the entire Hyuga Clan had to send a large number of clansmen to the battlefield. This gave Hoheto some time to buffer.

However, the situation of the battle had directly exceeded his expectations. The great war had not started, and only a surprise attack of less than a thousand people had erupted.

Under the leadership of Shiranui Yuuji, Kumogakure was easily defeated.

“I can’t wait any longer. The seal scroll I forged can’t be hidden for long. Once it is discovered by Hiashi, I have no way out. I will be exposed sooner or later! At that time, I will either be secretly executed by the clan or I will have to defect.”

Hoheto’s face was cloudy and uncertain.

The clan rules of Hyuga’s clan, the harshness and rigidness of Root was not something that outsiders could imagine.

The people of the branch family dared to covet the eyes of the people who surpassed head family’s clan. This was the original sin. Even if there were benefits, it should be head family’s people who possessed it first. If they were lucky, the people of the branch family might be able to get some leftovers from clansmen.

Conservative, imprisonment, killing one’s own potential, this kind of Hyuga…

Hoheto felt that he couldn’t wait any longer.

“I have no choice. I have to work with the others to break the seal scroll as soon as possible! Caged Bird Curse’s secret must be recorded in this scroll!” Gritting his teeth, Hoheto decisively turned around and left the clan grounds.

He wanted to contact the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, but he couldn’t.

The main family and the branch family are not trustworthy

The entire Konoha can’t provide what Hoheto needs, so he can only find outsiders…

“Sure enough, we still have to contact that guy.”

Hoheto secretly opened Byakugan. After confirming that no one was following and monitoring him, he immediately activated a shadow clone and let the shadow clone use the transformation technique to go to a secret stronghold.

“Hahaha, what a pleasant surprise. I just got Sharingan from Uchiha’s clan. I didn’t expect Hyuga’s clan to come looking for me…”

Rustle.

A poisonous snake emerged from a dark corner, spitting out a letter, and the sound of Orochimaru came out.

“Enough, Orochimaru. I’m no longer your subordinate. Don’t use that method to deal with me. I’m your collaborator now! Moreover, your current situation is very bad. As soon as you show up, Kazue and the others will kill you immediately. To a certain extent, you need me more than I need you!” Hoheto’s face was gloomy.

“Heh, the kid who almost died on the battlefield in the past knows how to take advantage of the situation, but you should know that you have to lose as much as you want. Tell me, what do you want?” The poisonous snake kept spitting out messages.

From his tone, Orochimaru, who was hiding somewhere, did not seem to mind Hoheto’s tone.

However, Hoheto knew that whether he minded it or not depended entirely on his own interests. If he could not bring out enough chips, Orochimaru would find an opportunity to kill his real body.

“I need you to tell me the method to break this seal.” Hoheto took out a scroll and opened it on the spot, showing it to the poisonous snake in front of him.

“Hmm? This is a combination seal made with many sealing techniques. Moreover, there is a warning spell sealed on it. No wonder you want to ask for help. In the entire Konohagakure, only Minato or Yuuji can quickly break it.” Orochimaru looked at it and immediately became interested.

His skill in sealing was also very amazing, but if not for something like the Eight Trigrams Seal, he could easily break the Four Symbols Seal.

So, Hoheto, this child, stole something good from Hyuga’s clan, so much so that he didn’t hesitate to cooperate with him, this dangerous S -class rebel?

Well, from this child’s attitude, it seemed that as long as he could break this seal, he would have the confidence to fight against him… What could it be?

Orochimaru was also curious, but compared to this, he had more important things to do.

“I can give you a way to crack it, but in return, I need Byakugan from Hyuga’s clan.”

“Impossible!” Hoheto refused with a cold expression, “The entire clan, from the four-year-old Hinata to the elders in their sixties and seventies, there are no more than five people in total. It is impossible for me to attack a certain member of the clan, and then give you the Byakugan.”

“Hmph, don’t be joking. The matter of Iroha transplanting main family Byakugan had caused a huge stir back then. I think that with main and branch family sharing Byakugan, at least there will be a greater room for development in Byakugan’s potential. If you want to go further, you must lay your hands on your people. Our interests are the same. “

Hoheto’s heart sank to the bottom.

Indeed, in his plan, killing a person of clansmen and seizing Byakugan was one of the choices.

Once he cracked Caged Bird Curse, if his potential had been destroyed by the caged bird, then he would have to change his healthy eyes.

“I will give you an eye, this is my bottom line, if you can’t do it, forget it.” Hoheto said.

“Very good. Happy cooperation.”

The poisonous snake brewed for a while. In the next moment, it slowly spat out a new snake. This snake opened its mouth and spat out a scroll. It recorded the method to break the seal.

Hoheto took the scroll and checked it, feeling slightly relieved.

“You first poached Sharingan from Uchiha’s clan, and now you have your eyes on Byakugan from our clan… Orochimaru, what exactly do you want to do?” Hoheto frowned.

“Hmph, it doesn’t matter to tell you. Because of Rinnegan. I am very interested in these special eyes. Maybe there is some connection between them.” Orochimaru’s voice rang out.

“Absurd! How can a pupil technique be related to the other ?” Hoheto shook his head and turned to leave.

He circled around Konohagakure many times before taking the opportunity to pass the scroll to his body.

Find a corner where no one else is around and remove it on the spot.

“Orochimaru… When I have the power to surpass Byakugan, the first one I’ll kill will be you.” Hoheto snorted coldly and returned home. He couldn’t wait to start breaking the seal scroll.

He carefully cast a jutsu, his back drenched in sweat, but he was in no danger.

The core scroll of Hyuga’s clan was opened by Hoheto.

The contents recorded on it were also reflected in Hoheto’s eyes.

He saw a lot of vague legends and read a lot of secret information about Hyuga’s clan.

He even saw that strange portrait. A person with Byakugan was standing beside Rikudou Sennin.

“Is this ancestor of Hyuga’s clan? He’s on par with Rikudou Sennin…” Hoheto was extremely excited, and he continued to look through it while trembling.

He had successfully found Caged Bird Curse. According to the contents of this scroll, he understood a little bit, but the final discovery caused his face to turn pale.

“Caged Bird Curse, there is only a method of performing the technique, and there is no way to reverse it at all… This is a technique that leaves no room for repentance. Who is so vicious and developed such a vicious thing?!”

Hoheto looked in disbelief.

But fortunately, there were other amazing harvests.

Hoheto noticed that the forbidden scroll was the center of the bird-secret art in the cage. All the caged birds that had been used could be influenced by this forbidden scroll.

“Main family’s people control the life and death of the branch family. Even if a branch family member is taken away by the enemy and is controlled to give birth to Hyuga’s bloodline, clansmen’s people can instantly blow the head of the branch family member thousands of miles away… As long as I can control this scroll, I can also have the ability to detonate the seal of the bird in the cage.”

A look of excitement appeared on Hoheto’s face.

It is even more convenient than the people of the Main family. He can master the sequence of all the caged birds by sealing the caged bird center on the scroll, and control many branch families at the same time. He does not need to control one by one like the Main family.

“Using the bird-secret art in the cage could at least control the life and death of the branch families. First, i would find an opportunity to control a group of branch families and try to find a way to avoid the bird-secret art in the cage. I remember those two distant relatives who wanted to poach Hinata’s high purity Byakugan, combined with the Tenseigan they mentioned, and based on Iroha’s example of transplanting the main faimly’s right eye… If I’m not wrong, changing eyes should be the key to improving Byakugan’s strength. The higher the purity of the eyes, the more obvious the effect!”

Hoheto’s brain worked quickly.

Yes, a corpse of Otsutsuki had fallen into the hands of Yuuji. Perhaps this corpse had also played a role.

In the end, he still could not avoid main family. He wanted to secretly control a group of people from the branch family to find an opportunity to attack main family.

Hoheto suppressed the anxiety in his heart and memorized the bird-secret art in the cage in his mind. Then he carefully put away the forbidden scroll and walked out of the house.

He couldn’t put the forbidden scroll back secretly now. Absolutely not. Hoheto had to use this to avoid the caged bird in his brain bag and control the people from the other branches.

Hoheto tried hard to maintain a nonchalant appearance and wanted to go to the training ground to practice Soft Fist as usual.

In fact, he had already begun to search for targets to control, and gradually controlled the entire branch family.

A member of the branch family walked over and nodded at Hoheto.

Hoheto knew this person. He was two years older than him and was a Gennin with mediocre talent.

“Let’s start with you.” Hoheto had a cold expression.

…

On the street, there were people from other villages walking by.

“The symbol of this forehead…is a ninja from Kusagakure.”

“Another village has come, but it is also very normal. After all, we, Konohagakure, have just defeated Kumogakure and are worthy of being called the Number one Ninja Village. It is very normal for these small villages to fawn on us.”

The people on the road talked in low voices.

Especially the members of Konoha’s garrison, who were responsible for security, often appeared and stared at every outsider. The arrogance and disdain in their eyes were not concealed.

Even if they were talking, they deliberately raised their tone, as if they were afraid that others did not know what he was talking about.

But this time, many villagers who did not like Uchiha’s people nodded in agreement.

In this regard, the expressions of many of the Ninjas from the smaller village changed, and they could only suppress their anger.

Uchiha’s clan was full of strong people, and just Kage-level alone had three people. If they included the other Mangekyou that appeared in Ninja World’s group, the number would be even greater.

Facing the contempt of this family, they dare not refute anything at all, for fear of being targeted.

They were from a small village, and they could not even bear the invasion of a strong expert like Mangekyou.

“Master Mui, these guys are so rude!!” A grass ninja was indignant.

“Shut up. In other people’s territory, you have to know how to restrain your emotions, especially anger. This kind of emotion will kill you.”

The man named Mui was expressionless, as if no humiliation or abuse could change his expression.

The other migratory ninjas were filled with unwillingness, fear, and anger.

But since Mui, the leader of the diplomatic mission, had said so, they did not dare to say anything.

As the lord of Hozuki Castle, Mui had a very high position in the Country of Grass. Moreover, his methods of dealing with enemies and criminals were extremely cruel. Hozuki Castle, which he had created, was a place specially used to imprison criminals and prisoners. No enemy who entered this city could come out alive.

Mui led the diplomatic mission through the streets of Konoha, and under the guidance of a ninja, they headed to the Hokage building.

“The No. 1 ninja village in the ninja world, where strong people gather, is really enviable… The average level of ninjas is not comparable to that of our ninja village.”

Mui observed coldly, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

So many excellent ninjas, it’s really good. If we can throw all these ninjas into that thing, I think we can gather a large part of the chakra…

Mui led people into the Hokage building.

“Greetings, Hokage Sama. I am here on behalf of the Kusagakure. I hope to form an alliance with Konoha.” Mui respectfully handed over the letter.

“Konohagakure and the Kusagakure used to be allies. Now, they have welcomed a long period of peace. That’s great.” Minato revealed a gentle smile.

Mui said cautiously: “According to the leader’s instruction, our Kusagakure will respect Konoha, and we will transfer 5% of the mission gold to Konoha.”

“Only 5%? Is Kusagakure humiliating Konohagakure? At least 20%.” At this time, Yuuji suddenly opened his mouth.

Mui’s expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yuuji seriously.

Shiranui Yuuji… It is said that this person’s chakra is very large, no less than Bijuu.
