Chapter 309: Minato is stunned and Urashiki strikes again
The Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village personally visited the Hyuga clan of the Konoha Village. Just imagine what kind of dark thoughts those Konoha high-ranking officials had.
However, this is exactly what Seiji wants. In terms of making trouble for Konoha, he is quite professional as he has a lot of experience in cooperating with the first generation Nabekage Shimura Danzo!!!
On the one hand, he could use this to disgust Konoha, which could be considered an overt strategy of sowing discord. On the other hand, Kiyoshi also had some ideas about the Hyuga clan.
The Hyuga clan has the same system of main family and branch family as the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, but they are much more cruel to their clan members than the Otsutsuki clan on the moon...!
After all, the Lunar Otsutsuki clan is at most different in name and inheritance of techniques and knowledge, but they did not come up with a so-called "bird in a cage" curse seal to protect the Byakugan like the Hyuga clan did!
Perhaps the original purpose of the "Bird in a Cage" curse was to protect the outflow of the Byakugan, an extremely powerful bloodline limit that has a lower transplant threshold than other eye-based bloodlines. However, with the evolution of time, the "Bird in a Cage" curse has gradually evolved into a tool for the main family to enslave the branch family, and even to control the life and death of the branch family!
Therefore, for the branch families of the Hyuga clan, except for those members with slave nature deep in their blood and those who have been tamed by the main family, the rest of the branch family members all hate the "bird in a cage" curse and those main family members who are arrogant and domineering in their daily lives!
And this is also Qingsi's goal. You know, the strength of the branch members of the Hyuga clan is not weak.
While most members of the main family stay within the clan, it is the branch families that provide the support, whether it is carrying out missions or going to the battlefield.
However, under the control of the "Bird in a Cage" curse seal, the Byakugan of the branch family members were restricted. Not only could their field of vision not reach 360°, but their subsequent growth potential was also suppressed by the curse seal. Moreover, the inheritance of the Hyuga clan was all in the hands of the main family. Unless specially allowed, the branch family members would not be able to learn powerful physical techniques such as "Eight Trigrams·Return of Heaven" and "Eight Trigrams·Sixty-four Palms" that the Hyuga clan was famous for in the ninja world!
However, even in this situation, there are still many members of the branch family who are capable of fighting at the Jonin level and have rich fighting experience.
On the other hand, as for the main family, except for a few individual members, most of the others can be called paper bluffs. They have great strength and master advanced physical skills, but when it comes to actual fighting, they are extremely lame...!
Of course, the main family members who have mastered the "Bird in a Cage" curse do not need to fight personally, according to their cognition. After all, everything is done by the "slaves" of the branch family...!
(The number of people in the main Hyuga clan is definitely smaller than that of the branch family, but they are not limited to the Hiashi lineage. The few old guys who decided to let Hiashi die instead of Hiashi are all elders of the main family.)
However, these situations of the branch family were not a big problem for Qingsi. He was sure that he had a way to break the "bird in a cage" curse. He also knew most of the inheritances held by the main family of the Hyuga clan, and knew more than they did. Moreover, Qingsi also had a method in his hands that could make the Hyuga clan's Byakugan even better.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to reach the level of Seiji's Rinnegan. Even for an ordinary Rinnegan, it is not very realistic considering the current situation of the Hyuga clan. However, at least it should not be a problem for them to reach a level close to Otsutsuki Tenshin's Byakugan...!
Therefore, the branch of the Hyuga clan became the best backup members of the Otsutsuki clan in the Hidden Mist Village. After all, in addition to being the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Seiji was also the patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan in the Hidden Mist Village. Although there is now one more Otsutsuki Toneri in the clan, there are still only four people, which is still too few for a family.
(You mean the Hatake clan of Konoha Village?)
The Hyuga clan of Konoha and the Otsutsuki clan of Kirigakure are both descendants of the bloodline of Otsutsuki Hamura's Byakugan. In fact, the Hyuga clan was simply established by some members of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon who returned to the ninja world from the moon through the space channel. Therefore, for those members of the branch family who hate the main family, it is no big deal to abandon the Hyuga surname and return to the original Otsutsuki surname.
After all, a thousand years ago, they were one family!
And this is one of the reasons why Kiyoshi asked Otsutsuki Tenshin to lead the team to Konoha. After all, nothing would be more convincing than a real example appearing before your eyes!
And secretly looking for opportunities to contact those hateful members of the Hyuga clan's branch family was an extra secret mission that Seiji assigned to Otsutsuki Tenshin!
-----------------
Otsutsuki Tenshin, who set out from the Hidden Mist Village to Konoha, and the two "Genin" teams who were taking part in the joint Chunin Exam, have now set foot on the land of the Fire Country.
Because this visit was a formal dialogue between ninja villages, and Kiyoshi had already informed Konoha through letters the approximate time and route of their arrival from the Hidden Mist Village.
Therefore, when the ship carrying Otsutsuki Tenshin and his party arrived in the Land of Fire, the Konoha ninjas who had been waiting at the port immediately came to greet them.
In terms of etiquette, Konoha's performance this time can be said to be impeccable. For every ninja village that came to participate in the Joint Chunin Exam, no matter how big or small, there were special ninjas waiting at the border to receive them.
The person responsible for receiving the group from the Hidden Mist Village was still the Jonin from Konoha Village, Minato Namikaze.
Not long ago, Minato Namikaze went on a diplomatic mission to the Hidden Mist Village. Not only did he successfully complete his overt mission, he also performed his secret mission very well. He brought back general information about the overall strength of the Hidden Mist Village to Konoha, allowing the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to have a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Hidden Mist Village.
So, this time when receiving the group from the Hidden Mist Village, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen once again gave this task to Namikaze Minato, who had dealt with the Hidden Mist Village before.
However, what Minato Namikaze didn't know was that the information about the Hidden Mist Village that he brought back was intentionally exposed by the Hidden Mist Village to his perception, and it was far from the real situation...!
Moreover, what Minato Namikaze didn't know was that he would soon encounter a shock that would subvert his cognition...!!!
.........
.........
.........
When Minato Namikaze saw the leader of the Hidden Mist Village, Otsutsuki Tenshin, his calm heart was instantly stirred up by thousands of waves. He seemed to be in a violent storm, and a voice kept echoing in his mind: "How is this possible???"
He widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the deep and mysterious pure white eyes of Otsutsuki Tenshin in front of him, as if an invisible force had captured his attention and made him unable to look away.
His body was in a state of stiffness for a moment, as if he was under the "Sealing Technique: Seal of Self-Karma Binding", and he could not move.
His mind was also blank, and the two completely unrelated words "Hidden Mist Village..." and "Baiyan..." kept echoing in his mind...!
At this time, Minato Namikaze had completely forgotten how he should react when receiving the group from the Hidden Mist Village. Even the most basic courtesy was thrown out of his mind...!
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's heart was filled with shock and confusion. Questions kept circling in his mind again and again...!
Minato Namikaze was extremely confused and totally dazed...!
.........
.........
.........
As time passed, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little awkward...!
After a moment, Minato Namikaze came back to his senses from his shock as if he had just woken up from a dream, and realized his previous gaffe.
So he quickly adjusted his mood, temporarily put Otsutsuki Tenshin's white eyes behind his mind, smiled apologetically at the people from the Hidden Mist Village, and began to greet them.
However, the turmoil in his heart caused by that pair of pure white eyes still could not calm down for a long time, and the appearance of Otsutsuki Tenshin's eyes was always lingering in his mind.
And no matter how he tried to convince himself in his heart, he had to admit in the end that it was the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan!!!
Otsutsuki Tenshin noticed something strange about Minato Namikaze. He turned his head slightly and his eyes met Minato Namikaze's who happened to be looking at him.
The moment their eyes met, time seemed to stop...!
Immediately, the corners of Otsutsuki Tenshin's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. He was very satisfied with Namikaze Minato's shocked expression.
At this time, he couldn't help but look forward to what kind of reaction the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hyuga clan would have after they received the news after he arrived in Konoha Village...!
-----------------
at the same time.
Just as Otsutsuki Tenshin led Yahiko's team and Mei Terumi's team set foot on the land of the Fire Country and headed to Konoha Village under the guidance of Namikaze Minato, who was in charge of reception at Konoha Village, Otsutsuki Urashiki also quietly entered the Hidden Mist Village through the bloodline network "Yomi Hirasaka".
When Otsutsuki Urashiki was collecting intelligence in the capital of the Land of Water, he learned that Otsutsuki Seiji, the Fourth Mizukage, was about to go to the Land of Fire across the sea to watch the joint Chunin Exam at the invitation of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen of Konoha Village.
So, after learning the exact time of Kiyoji's departure, Otsutsuki Urashiki went directly to the Hidden Mist Village.
However, what Otsutsuki Urashiki would not have thought of was that, while it was true that Seiji was heading to Konoha Village, the time when he was leaving for Konoha Village was fake news that he deliberately announced to the public, in order to give Otsutsuki Urashiki an irresistible reason to show up and come to the Hidden Mist Village to obtain the Noble Phantasm "Plow"!!!
So, when Otsutsuki Urashiki entered the Hidden Mist Village, Kiyoji was leisurely handling government affairs in the Mizukage's office, while silently waiting for him to take the bait.
Therefore, as soon as Otsutsuki Urashiki used the bloodline network "Yozen Hirasaka" to enter the Hidden Mist Village, Seiji immediately noticed the spatial fluctuations generated by "Yozen Hirasaka"...!
However, he did not take the initiative to use his perception to lock onto Otsutsuki Urashiki for the time being. After all, once Otsutsuki Urashiki discovered that he was still in the Hidden Mist Village, he would probably turn around and run away. Moreover, he had already left a backup plan in the laboratory that could detect Otsutsuki Urashiki's movements...!
.........
.........
.........
Otsutsuki Urashiki, who thought that Kiyoji was not in the village, opened his Byakugan and spread his perception unscrupulously in the Hidden Mist Village. After all, in Otsutsuki Urashiki's cognition, these inferior creatures in the Hidden Mist Village could not possibly detect him!
Soon, he sensed the Noble Phantasm "Plow" within the barrier in the laboratory of the Hidden Mist Village.
A space vortex that looked like black pixel blocks appeared behind Otsutsuki Urashiki. Otsutsuki Urashiki slowly floated backwards into "Yomi Hirasaka", and then appeared in the laboratory the next second.
At the same time, Seiji in the Mizukage's office couldn't help but change his expression. The barrier he set up in the laboratory was triggered!!!
In other words, Otsutsuki Urashiki took the bait!!!
Looking at the turtle on the table in front of him, Otsutsuki Urashiki's eyes revealed an unstoppable fiery look, "Finally...!!!"
Otsutsuki Urashiki stretched out his right hand and placed it above the treasure "Plow", and chakra slowly flowed out.
The turtle's chakra resonated with Otsutsuki Urashiki's chakra, and a soft green glow began to emerge continuously.
"I really have to thank this Otsutsuki Seiji!" Urashiki exclaimed, "This mechanism, I am the only one who is qualified to open it! Wake up! Plow!!!"
"Authorized to start!" A mechanical voice came from the turtle's mouth, "I am the treasure, 'Plow'! Please allow me to introduce the precautions when using it! Now confirm the operation process. If the order is wrong, it will affect the use! Lord Otsutsuki Urashiki! Chakra needs to be filled when using it! After filling, please set the movement!"
"Heh...! You're taking so long!" Otsutsuki Urashiki chuckled, then sighed, "That's why turtles are so slow and annoying...!"
