If Shimura Danzo hadn't been unable to control his greed and attacked Shisui, the original story might have unfolded in a way that led to Fugaku's mind being subtly altered.
Changing a person's mindset is tantamount to erasing that person.
The order to "protect Konoha" is quite noble, but what if the order is to "be someone's dog"?
Such illusion techniques are not unique to Itachi and Shisui.
Ninjutsu is a poor imitation of "divine arts". The future Otsutsuki will master "divine arts", and the genjutsu-type "divine arts" they use will be many times more powerful than ordinary genjutsu, so they have no choice but to imitate it.
If this entry can truly reflect illusion, it will greatly enhance Kiyoshi's mental protection.
"Try to have Kurenai Yuhi use illusion magic on me sometime."
Kiyoshi closed the entry panel, took off his clothes, and strode towards the bathing room with his strong body.
…………
a few days later.
Kiyoshi received orders to proceed to the Hokage Building.
He had a feeling it was related to this incident.
The fact that Kirigakure was able to transplant the Three-Tails into Rin Nohara's body means that the previous Three-Tails Jinchuriki has also arrived on the battlefield.
Madara's base was near the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire, so Obito was able to leave immediately and met Nohara Rin and Kakashi after traveling for a while.
Sure enough, upon entering, one could see several high-ranking officials of Konoha with grim expressions.
Chapter 233 Hyuga Hiashi Loses His Manly Dignity, Tsunade's Hidden Motives for Kiyoshi
"According to intelligence from our spies outside, Kirigakure may have activated their tailed beasts, and they have set off from the Land of Water."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly.
The Hidden Mist Village has the Six-Tails and the Three-Tails, but these two tailed beasts are not as powerful as the Nine-Tails.
However, Kirigakure also used this to better control the two tailed beasts.
The Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Hidden Mist Village recently demonstrated stable use of the Six-Tails, which is not good news for Konoha.
Kushina is too young, and the Nine-Tails' power is too great. Even if Kushina leaves the sealing barrier, she is at risk of losing control.
If it goes berserk on the battlefield, it might accidentally injure friendly forces or even completely slip out of control.
The existence of the Nine-Tails is a deterrent; Konoha may not need it, but it cannot be without it.
"Uchiha Kiyoshi, you are the only ninja in Konoha who knows flying ninjutsu. This mission is perfect for you."
Danzo Shimura stared at Kiyoshi with his single eye.
He had no psychological burden about using the Uchiha clan; the more dangerous the mission, the better for the Uchiha to carry it out.
"Kiyoshi... I've always assigned you the most dangerous missions, but this time, I'll have to trouble you to gather intelligence again."
Mitokado Homura plans to infuse Kiyoshi with the "Will of Fire".
"Lord Yan, and all the other lords, Konoha is at a critical juncture of life and death. How can I linger in the rear and live a life of ignominy? I will definitely complete this mission."
Kiyoshi uttered his signature "Will of Fire" statement, as if he had become a pure and authentic Konoha ninja at that moment.
"good very good."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with satisfaction.
Uchiha Seiji, this good Uchiha who was born with the "Will of Fire," has never let him down.
The current Uchiha Kiyoshi is completely comparable to the Uchiha Kagami of yesteryear.
"You shall set off in three days and march with another unit."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.
The Land of Water and the Land of Fire are far apart, and they would have to take a long detour to reach the front line in the Land of Grass.
This period allows the village's ninjas to rest and recuperate, and new ninja tools will be completed and put to use.
"No problem, Lord Sandai."
Qingsi nodded.
This saved him the trouble of volunteering to go to the battlefield.
After Kiyoshi took his leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window at the Hokage Rock.
Jing's grandson, Shisui, is all grown up now; we should go and see if he has inherited Jing's excellent bloodline.
The more Uchiha members who side with Konoha, the more control Konoha will have over the Uchiha.
The Uchiha clan is a double-edged sword; it is dangerous, but its ability to consistently produce elites will greatly benefit Konoha.
The strength of the ninja village is the foundation of its nation.
…………
Hyuga clan.
Amidst the increasingly fierce war, very few members of the Hyuga clan remained in the village.
Their exceptional reconnaissance capabilities mean they would never have too many outposts.
Meanwhile, the elders of the main family were holding a meeting.
In the middle of the meeting were Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hinazuki, and... Hyuga Hizashi.
The atmosphere in the room was rather quiet, as if they were discussing some heavy topic.
"Hiashi, you know your situation."
At the very top, an elderly man with white hair and beard sat in a chair, leaning on a cane.
A sigh crossed the wrinkled old face.
Hinata Hyuga turned to look at Hiashi Hyuga, whose expression was gloomy, and felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
"Elder, I..."
Hiashi Hyuga opened his mouth, but never said anything more.
He found it really difficult to talk about.
The Tailed Beast Ball's exaggerated destructive power sent him flying, and during the process, pebbles struck his lower body.
He felt as if some piece of flesh had been thrown out, but the excruciating pain caused him to faint instantly.
When they woke up, the medical ninjas stammered and dared not speak.
It was only when Hiashi Hyuga went to the toilet that he realized what he had lost.
He lost his dignity as a man.
The news was blocked immediately.
Regardless, he is the head of the Hyuga clan.
According to clan rules, the descendants of the clan chief will also inherit the position of clan chief.
Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, the position will be filled by another head family member.
"You don't need to worry. We have all seen your talent and your painstaking efforts in governing the Hyuga clan. The rules will not be broken. The next generation of successors only requires Hyuga Hinazuki and you to make a little sacrifice."
Another elder of the clan said, stroking his long beard.
The so-called sacrifice refers to ensuring the continuation of the clan leader's lineage.
Rizu is no longer a member of the clan, but he has a twin brother, and both of them are descendants of the previous clan chief.
They were born a little later than usual, which led to the family splitting up.
But that bloodline will not change.
As long as Hyuga Hinazuki sacrifices even a little, the child she gives birth to will still be called Hyuga Hiashi's father.
Apart from the three key figures present, everyone else in the room is a high-ranking and powerful elder of the clan.
This secret will not be revealed.
"no!"
Hinatsuki Hyuga immediately refused.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she coughed, her weakened body reacting with a fit of rage. After a while, she continued slowly:
"In that case, it would be better to let Hiashi remarry."
Hinatsuki Hyuga couldn't bear such humiliation; she would rather be divorced by Hiashi Hyuga or even demoted to a branch family member.
Seeing Hyuga Hinazuki's excited expression, the elders of the main family did not force her to continue.
In any case, what's important are Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
"Hinazuki..."
Hiashi Hyuga clenched his fist.
What man could bear such humiliation?
"Brother, elders, this matter is indeed a bit too..."
Hyuga Hizashi shook his head repeatedly. He had someone he liked and didn't want things to go this way at all. He then offered a proposed solution:
“My brother is still young, there’s no need to rush. We can let the princess of the Senju clan try to treat him.”
"Tsunade, she rarely treats patients anymore."
The clan elder shook his head and continued:
"However, I can give you a deadline: three years. If there is a result within three years, then this matter will be dropped."
"……it is good."
Hiashi Hyuga struggled to speak.
With those words spoken, the meeting came to an end.
After everyone had left, Hiashi Hyuga remained standing in the same spot.
He can now get out of bed and walk, but his limitation is that he cannot engage in strenuous exercise.
"Hiashi, are you really going to agree to them... cough cough, if they don't..."
Hinatsuki Hyuga looked grief-stricken.
"Hinazuki, I..."
Hiashi Hyuga sighed deeply.
He wanted to refuse, but he was also the clan leader.
We must not let this lineage die out in our hands.
Choosing a new lineage is no simple matter.
It could very likely cause internal strife within the clan, so once the lineage of the clan head was established, the ancestors never changed it.
Other branches of the main lineage also dared not disobey the ancestral precepts and obediently became ordinary members of the main lineage.
Hiashi Hyuga reached out his hand, wanting to hold Hinazuki Hyuga's hand.
Unexpectedly, Hyuga Hinazuki took a step back and dodged Hyuga Hiashi's hand.
He was stunned on the spot.
When Hiashi Hyuga was still a man, he was focused on governing the Hyuga clan. However, due to the outbreak of war and Hinazuki Hyuga's weakened state, he never took action.
He was afraid that Hinata Hyuga might die accidentally.
I plan to wait until the situation stabilizes before making any further plans.
I wanted to touch it today, but I ended up avoiding it like this?
Is it because of the topic we just discussed, or his current physical condition?
Hiashi Hyuga's expression shifted between light and dark.
Looking at Hiashi's face, Hinazuki knew that her actions had hurt him.
