"Nobuhiko-sama!"
"Nobuhiko-senpai!"
Nobuhiko walked on the streets of the Hyuga clan.
All the jounin he encountered saluted him respectfully, while the chuunin regarded him as a powerful and respectable senior as before.
There is also a clear difference in how he is called.
Nobuhiko smiled and nodded in response.
The accompanying chuunin all had doubts. They were all jounin from separate clans. Why were they so respectful to Nobuhiko? It seemed to be a bit too much.
Because they don't know that a big event happened in the clan just recently, that is, the elder of the clan, Hinata Shinichi, suddenly died of a serious illness.
But only those at the level of Jonin or above are qualified to know the true inside story.
The strongest ancestor in the history of their Hyuga clan, Ryota Hyuga, is back!
Will lead them to the top again!
If many tribesmen have only seen records about Nobuhiko in their family history, they only have a yearning for him and don't have much awe, and naturally they can't be said to be very loyal.
But as soon as Nobuhiko revealed his identity, he solved the Cage Bird Technique that the Hyuga branch hated the most.
Furthermore, they learn that activating the Byakugan is not the end, but just a new beginning.
On top of the Byakugan, it can also evolve into the Pure Eye, and once the Byakugan evolves, it can completely eliminate the caged bird.
But for most tribesmen, being able to solve the disadvantages of caged birds is enough.
Originally, the clan controlled the life and death of the branch family through the caged bird, treating the branch family as a slave.
But now that the ancestor has returned, the caged bird is still there, but the 1-degree blind spot has been eliminated.
And the clan chakra left in their minds was also completely eliminated.
The Zong family cannot control them through the caged bird technique like before.
The branch family and the clan family have changed from superior and subordinate to two equal branches.
As for whether Nobuhiko left a back-up for the caged bird, many members of the branch family didn't really care.
Because the strong don't need to do anything extra.
What's more, Nobuhiko has directly stated to his clan members that the caged bird will automatically destroy the Byakugan when a clan member dies.
Even without the caged bird, Nobuhiko's strength can defeat all the tribesmen who are enemies of him.
What's more, he is a person who is willing to reason.
Especially the Hyuga clan members who followed Nobuhiko to conquer Kamikawa Island. In their hearts, even if Nobuhiko was not the reincarnation of Ryota's ancestor, they were willing to follow him.
Compared with empty promises, Nobuhiko has received tangible benefits, which will extend to the next generation. The development prospects of the Hyuga clan in the future are also unlimited.
Who would not want to follow such a leader who has strength and charisma?
Even the clan leader, Hinata Hizatsu, voluntarily "abdicated his throne in favor of others".
The Jonin were even more convinced of Nobuhiko.
...
In the patriarch's mansion.
backyard.
Hinata Hizashi and his younger brother Hinata Hizashi were sitting on the porch, basking in the sun and drinking tea.
"Hizashi, how long has it been since we sat together and had a heart-to-heart talk like this?" Hizashi put down his tea cup and couldn't help but sigh. After handing over the actual control of the Hyuga clan to Nobuhiko, he felt a sense of relief deep in his heart. , there is a feeling of relief.
"It's been more than ten years." Ri almost nodded, his expression still a little reserved, because this was a habit he had developed over the years.
Their father, Hyuga Sendo, attaches great importance to the dignity of the clan and branch families.
As early as Hizashi can remember, he has been practicing with his elder brother.
If he beat his brother, both he and his brother would be punished, and at a young age he didn't understand why.
Later, as he grew older, he finally understood.
The elder brother is first the heir of the clan, he is the 'master', and secondly his elder brother.
And the same goes for his father.
Hizashi thought about resisting this abnormal system, but was unable to do anything. Under the repeated torture of the caged bird, he gradually became numb and began to deliberately alienate his brother.
Nizu feels the same way.
When he was a child, he was also a good brother who loved his younger brother.
But his father taught him to act like the heir of the clan.
Rizu once thought about changing all this, but all branch family members were cautious when facing the clan.
Even his dearest brother is alienating him, and all he has is politeness and unintentional fake smiles.
Gradually, Rizu began to feel calmer.
Because he knows that being too enthusiastic about his brother is not a good thing for him.
"Yes, even my father is no longer here..." Rizu sighed a little.
Hizashi frowned slightly, "Don't mention him to me!"
"My father is dead, aren't you still unwilling to untie your knot?" Rizu asked.
Hizashi's face turned cold, "I just think he died well! If he is still alive, it would be great if he could be killed by Ancestor Ryota with his own hands!"
"You! Hey..." Rizu sighed.
"He is such a heartless, selfish and hypocritical person, and he is not worthy of becoming the leader of the clan!"
"I used to think that the Hyuga clan was originally such a hopeless clan! I didn't expect that it was just because they started to become bad from the previous generation."
"Fortunately, the appearance of Ancestor Liangtai has brought hope to those of us who are separated."
When talking about Nobuhiko, Hizashi's eyes lit up.
But what Hizashi said left Hizashi speechless.
After a long silence, Rizu slowly said: "What happened to my mother was actually an accident."
"Is it also an accident that you still use a caged bird on your mother when you know that she has a disease caused by giving birth to us?"
Hizashi sneered and couldn't help asking:
"Brother, you are indeed very good to me. I don't want him to affect the relationship between our brothers. But can you guarantee that in more than ten years, you will always have the absolute authority of the clan, and one day you will not become like Is it the same as father?"
After hearing this, Rizu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Hinata Sentou is indeed stricter with the clan members who are divided into different clans.
If it were him, he would definitely not treat the separation like this.
But he will not be soft on clan members who offend the majesty of the clan.
Strictly speaking, he is the same type of person as Hinata Sendou.
"Nowadays, the status of the branch family is no longer as humble as before, but brother, you are still a noble clan. Isn't that enough? I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Hizashi looked at Hizashi who was speechless. He drank the tea in one gulp, got up and left.
Looking at his younger brother's leaving figure, Rizu felt a little happy in his heart for no apparent reason.
Because this was the Hizashi in his impression, someone who acted neatly and spoke straightforwardly.
The day difference was always like this when I was a kid.
But he was punished by his father many times because of this, saying that he did not distinguish between superior and inferior.
Ridu has changed because of his younger brother. Now that he thinks about it, it's just that he has been suppressing himself.
This is the real daily difference.
"Ancestor Ryota is right... The root cause of the Hyuga clan's disease lies in this system, but without his ability, who would dare to do such a bold thing..." Recalling that Nobuhiko directly killed Hinata Shinichi On that day, Rizu still had lingering fears.
...
A few dozen miles west of Konoha Village.
There is a large stronghold fifty meters underground.
This is the headquarters of the Roots led by Danzo.
Among the five major ninja villages, only Konoha's ANBU is divided into two parts, not all controlled by the shadows.
During the Third Hokage period, the Anbu was divided into two, with most of the Anbu under his own control, while a small part of the Anbu was under the control of the Roots established by Danzo.
On the contrary, the current Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, after taking over, can command far fewer Anbu than Danzo, so he can only cultivate them himself.
In name, the Root Organization is a training institution that cultivates talents for the Anbu.
But in fact, after so many years of management by Danzo, the Roots have long since become an independent Anbu organization.
Even if the ninjas who have gone through the anti-human training method have entered the third generation of ANBU, their actual allegiance is to Danzo.
Even if Danzo asked them to assassinate the third generation, they would do it without hesitation.
Because all the ninjas in the root have been brainwashed and trained, coupled with the control of various techniques, even if they betray Danzo, they cannot reveal his secrets.
As for those ninjas who have not passed the training, they will naturally not come out of the root headquarters alive.
Danzo mainly trains war orphans, because this is the easiest way to cultivate loyal ninjas.
As for some family ninjas, Danzo will also select some to enter the roots.
However, the one Danzo valued and cared about the most was an eleven-year-old boy.
Root headquarters, in Danzo's private lounge.
Danzo was sitting on the mat, and a boy wearing an animal mask knelt on one knee. The boy took off the mask and put it aside, revealing his delicate face.
"A, the scroll I gave you from the First Hokage, how are you doing with your training?" Danzo asked lightly, but his eyes were fixed on A, revealing his thoughts.
"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama, the wood release ninjutsu left by the first generation has too high chakra requirements. I can't practice most of the wood release ninjutsu now." A lowered his head deeply and spoke. Full of shame.
Danzo's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then asked: "What about the sealing technique?"
"The Hokage Style Ear-Smoothing Technique: Kuoan's Hands! I have basically learned it, but to be fully proficient in it, it will take about another year... No! Just half a year!" A said respectfully.
"It's good if you can learn it. The First Hokage's art itself is not something that ordinary people can master. You did a good job!" Danzo looked at the anxious Kabuto and showed a rare kind smile.
"Yes! My subordinates will definitely work hard!" After being affirmed by Danzo, A was encouraged and his expression became more respectful.
Danzo nodded, "You go down first, sooner or later you will be needed."
"Yes!" A puts on the mask again, bows and retreats.
After A left, Danzo's expression gradually darkened, "Is it really a defective product? It's completely incomparable to the first generation."
The first generation had died when Danzo was a child. People of their generation had naturally heard of the first generation's reputation, but they had never seen the first generation Hokage take action.
However, according to records in the classics, the dozens of training grounds in Konoha now were all made by the first generation using wood escape.
Being able to use human power to change the landscape requires a terrifying amount of chakra.
Since the second generation period, there have been experiments in transplanting first-generation cells in the village, but all the participants died due to rejection.
The experiment has since been banned by village order.
But Danzo retained the first-generation cells with the highest cell activity.
And secretly cooperated with Orochimaru to conduct experiments.
Orochimaru lost his patience after many failures, but in an accidental experiment, a baby survived, and that person is now A.
Even Orochimaru didn't know about this.
Danzo secretly trained A for 11 years.
The purpose is to control Mu Dun in his own hands.
It is recorded in the classics that the Nine-Tails, which was feared by the entire Konoha, was as defenseless as a baby in the hands of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara.
Danzo was dubious about this.
However, this did not weaken his desire for Wood Release.
Mu Dun's ability to restrain the tailed beast has been confirmed.
With armor, whether it is against the Nine-Tails or the three-tails he just obtained, he will be able to achieve a surprising victory.
Namikaze Minato was able to become the Fourth Hokage not only because he was a disciple of Jiraiya and the disciple of the Third Hokage, not only because of his military exploits, but also because he was the husband of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
"The tailed beast is safest only if it is in your own hands!" Danzo narrowed his eyes and thought of Nobuhiko.
After Orochimaru defected, Danzo deliberately expanded the purge campaign against Orochimaru's gang members, with the purpose of affecting Nobuhiko.
Only in this way can we control the three tails in our own hands.
But Nobuhiko didn't know the situation and didn't give him any face.
For power that cannot be used by oneself, the best way is to seize it, and the second is to destroy it.
Now that the Third World War has just ended, and the village is in a period of employment, Danzo will naturally not take huge risks to take action against Nobuhiko.
In particular, the attitude of the fourth Hokage, who had just taken over, was not friendly towards him.
At this sensitive moment, Danzo chose to lie dormant and accumulate strength.
He had been holding back for so long for the position of Hokage, and he was still waiting.
"When Kabuto grows up, it will be easy to deal with the Jinchuuriki. The position of Hokage will eventually belong to me, and Konoha will unify the ninja world under my leadership!"
Danzo's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
brush!
At this time, a root Anbu suddenly appeared outside the door.
"Lord Danzo."
"What's up?"
"There is a secret message from Orochimaru!"
"Huh? Orochimaru? Come in!"
Danzo's expression changed slightly, how could Orochimaru dare to risk contacting him at this time.
Taking the scroll from the Anbu's hand, Danzo looked at it, and soon his expression became very exciting, "This Orochimaru! It's really..."
Looking at the half-finished secret technique in the scroll, Danzo felt excited.
"Compile the ANBU list and give it to Orochimaru, and expose the ANBU stronghold of the village in the north to him."
"Danzo-sama, this..." Anbu hesitated upon hearing this.
Danzo said expressionlessly: "These are all ANBU under the Third Generation and will not affect the roots. Don't you understand my order?"
"Yes! Lord Danzo!"
"In addition, call back B, E, and Geng, and let them use the prisoners on death row!"
"yes!"
"Damn Orochimaru, do you think that if there is no follow-up, I won't do my own research? The reincarnation of the dirty land... If you can control the first and second generations..." Danzo thought secretly in his heart, Orochimaru sent It was very timely to give him the unfinished product "The Reincarnation of the Earth".
With the roots of a large number of test subjects, this forbidden technique can definitely be perfected.
