Naruto: Starting With Tenseigan C139 (Patreon)

Chapter 139: The New Danzo, Master and Disciple Meet

"Even though that guy Danzo has destroyed his own brain, there are still quite a few things that can be used."

Inside the Akatsuki Organization base in the Hidden Rain Village, Black Zetsu was learning about parts of Danzo's memories with the help of Nagato's Rinnegan.

Danzo was troublesome; there was no doubt about that.

Not only did this guy have Senju Hashirama's cells on him, but he also had several Sharingan, and even a Reverse Four Symbols Sealing on his body.

This destined that wanting to easily deal with him was not such a simple matter!

But to people like them, Danzo wasn't that troublesome after all.

Orochimaru knew his intelligence, Nagato possessed absolute overwhelming strength, and even...

"As expected of Itachi-kun, the effect of your genjutsu really is exceptionally good."

Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at Uchiha Itachi with a playful expression.

"Otherwise, wanting to keep this guy's body preserved so well wouldn't be an easy task either."

"I need you to use his identity to properly train Uchiha Sasuke in Konoha."

Uchiha Itachi's tone was very indifferent. He lowered his head slightly so that people couldn't see his complicated gaze.

Making a move against Danzo was actually something he was very conflicted about.

He naturally hated Danzo, because in a sense, his downfall here had an inseparable connection with Danzo.

Yet Danzo was also a solid Konoha high-ranking official, and striking at him completely shattered the concept of a Konoha Ninja that he had vaguely retained.

However, for him now, the only thing he wanted was to pave the way for his deeply beloved younger brother.

This was also the only value of his existence right now!

"I need Sasuke's eyes, nothing more."

"Sasuke's eyes, you say?"

Obito tilted his head and glanced at Uchiha Itachi, guessing to what extent this lunatic's eyes had deteriorated by now.

Black Zetsu directly nodded, speaking with absolute assurance.

"Rest assured, I understand what you mean. I will help you train Sasuke well."

"How is your absorption going?"

Pain spoke at this moment, looking at Danzo, who had been fiercely battered mentally and had bid farewell to the world physically.

It seemed as though a huge weight had been lifted from his heart; the person who caused Yahiko's death had finally been completely dealt with by his own hands!

What he cared more about now was naturally the subsequent plan.

"I do not hope for any accidents, and when are we setting off for the Land of Rice Fields?"

"Rest assured, although a lot was damaged, it is definitely manageable."

Black Zetsu smiled, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Obito.

He hadn't expected that in Danzo's memories, there was actually the incident of Obito attacking him...

However, he didn't bring it up, only speaking with a bit of displeasure.

"Yet I really didn't expect this guy to have mixed so miserably; Root has completely degenerated into a pure intelligence agency."

Although he could guess that Danzo was doing miserably, he hadn't expected the situation to be this bad.

Black Zetsu was completely speechless. This guy had done so many crappy things, yet he still obsessed over becoming Hokage?

How could someone so lacking in self-awareness manage to become a high-ranking official of Konoha?

Damn it, Konoha is also a makeshift crew!

But this was fine too; a makeshift crew made it easier for him to mingle.

He didn't have any thoughts of becoming Hokage, but he could contact Hyuga Makoto by grooming a Hokage!

Anyway, in Danzo's memory, there was no experience of provoking Hyuga Makoto.

"Moreover, Hyuga Makoto also seems to be a person who possesses some kind of 'will of fire', so he surely won't find it easy to refuse..."

As long as he supported him bit by bit, gradually gained his trust, and constantly used intelligence to help him get into more battles...

"This way, it can both allow him to continuously 'unfreeze the power of jutsus' and slowly guide him to understand the 'truth of destiny'!"

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu's heart was filled with excitement.

As for training Uchiha Sasuke?

He would naturally do that, and in fact, he wouldn't just train one!

The Uchiha were his garden; even though the Rinnegan had already appeared, preparations had to be made for everything.

Anyway, Danzo was the "guardian of the Uchiha", so finding a suitable pretext to train the Uchiha would be a breeze, wouldn't it?

"Your death is of greater contribution than everything you've contributed throughout your entire life..."

Black Zetsu felt immeasurable emotion inside, but Pain frowned.

"Danzo's situation in Konoha is not very good? Will this have any impact?"

"Yes, but the problem isn't that big."

Black Zetsu snapped back to reality, suppressing the excitement in his heart as he spoke.

"Don't forget we also have Orochimaru, and even Sasori."

"Hmph."

Sasori let out a cold hmph; after all, he had almost become Kazekage, while Orochimaru cared even less.

"You can ask me if you have any questions. Anyway, Konoha's system shouldn't change."

"That's good."

Pain nodded, but Black Zetsu couldn't help speaking up.

"Right, when necessary, I will leak some Akatsuki Organization intelligence. You guys should understand, right?"

"Just tell us in advance."

Pain understood Black Zetsu's meaning, and immediately his gaze looked into the distance.

"Since matters here are already over, things over in the Land of Rice Fields should also begin, right?"

"Indeed, Jiraiya and the others are already wandering all over the Land of Rice Fields."

Black Zetsu nodded. White Zetsu's intelligence was still continuously transmitted to him, and he was well aware of the situation over there.

"Moreover, Hyuga Makoto and the others have also discovered Orochimaru's men. I suppose we can pretty much prepare to make a move."

"That kid really is unusually sharp—, "

Orochimaru licked his lips, a smile appearing on his face.

"It seems we really need to head over there."

"Mhm."

Pain also nodded, gently closing his eyes as he muttered in a low voice.

"It really has been a long time, Jiraiya, , "

"You think that child has a problem?"

Inside a town in the Land of Rice Fields, Uchiha Izumi looked at her held hand, and then looked at Hyuga Makoto, who was looking ahead with a serious expression.

In the end, she didn't refute him, but instead asked in a low voice.

"He indeed has traces of Chakra, but it doesn't seem anything special—, "

"That kid is far from ordinary."

Hyuga Makoto shook his head instead, asking with a somewhat amused tone.

"You wouldn't think he's harmless to humans and animals just because he looks cute, right?"

"How could that be possible."

Uchiha Izumi shook her head, her expression instantly turning much more serious.

"I've been deceived by Uchiha Itachi; I'm not that foolish."

Hyuga Makoto felt that his question was quite hellish, but fortunately, the one he asked was Uchiha Izumi.

If it were future guys like Naruto, they might actually pull some weird stunts on him.

After all, with Kimimaro's fair and tender appearance, no matter who looked at him, their first reaction would probably find it hard to believe there was anything wrong with this guy.

"If his skin tone were changed, the situation might be different..."

Unexplainably, stories about the scarhead next door that he accidentally saw while scrolling through his phone crossing the street popped up in his mind.

For instance, a certain white professor was about to turn into Snegl.

But with this change, many things suddenly became completely logical and reasonable!

For example, that greasy head of black hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in ages looked wrong no matter how you looked at it.

But change it to a head of dreadlocks, and it seemingly became understandable—that stuff couldn't be washed...

There was also scarhead feeling deeply uncomfortable just from being glared at upon entering school, concluding that this professor didn't look like a good person.

But if there was only one Black brother amidst a row of white teachers, glaring at you with ill intent, anyone's heart would skip a beat—,

Even when news about the theft of the Sorcerer's Stone surfaced, scarhead's first thought naturally being this'Snegl' professor was also normal.

After all, this is a traditional art form...

And in the Shrieking Shack,'Snegl' running over to save people only to get blasted away by a wand could also be understood.

"After all, an old Black brother charges in holding a weapon; who wouldn't panic at that?"

Moreover, researching potent little potions for no reason and pulling out heavy weapons like'Sectumsempra' was just too normal.

However, what made Hyuga Makoto feel even more hellish was that Snegl was bullied by the goddess's boyfriend, and then joined a bloodline-supremacist anti-social gang.

"And on top of that, he had to call that nose-less old boiled egg 'Master', , "

Thinking of this, Hyuga Makoto didn't dare to think any further; it was simply too hellish!

"No wonder when I met the Fourth Raikage, I thought about killing him off. There really was a reason for it."

Hyuga Makoto comforted himself in his heart, and only then did he shake his head and speak earnestly.

"That kid's physical fitness is unusual; he is very likely from the Kaguya Clan."

"The Kaguya Clan?"

Uchiha Izumi was slightly startled, and she seemed to have reacted.

"You mean he was brought back by Uchiha Obito?"

", —Pretty much."

Hyuga Makoto pursed his lips. Although the facts were slightly different, Orochimaru was also in the Akatsuki Organization!

"Of course these are all guesses, but let's call Pervy Sage and the others over first; maybe we can discover something."

"I understand, I'll go right now."

Uchiha Izumi's expression turned serious, and she immediately turned around and ran off to find Kakashi and the others.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Makoto continued to look in Kimimaro's direction, but he could not help pondering inwardly.

"This kid's physical condition is really extraordinary—"

Even without activating his Byakugan or Tenseigan, he could still sense that Kimimaro was extraordinary.

The kid seemed to be filled with a special force of Yang Release, and this power was constantly overflowing from his body.

"It has even become so wild that it's completely beyond his own control!"

Although Hyuga Makoto had never seen what other members of the Kaguya Clan were like, Kimimaro seemed to be the most special one in his memories.

"If this is the case, then he is probably completely different from Uchiha Itachi's kekkei genkai disease; this is more of a Genius's disease, right?"

After all, in his memories, although the Kaguya Clan members were fierce, no one seemed to have reached his extent.

It's hard to say whether he was similar to Hashirama, except that unlike Hashirama, he completely couldn't control such power.

"Yet at the same time, he has no other way to balance these forces, which also leads to him only being frantically backlashed by this power...

The power of Shikotsumyaku was already extremely exaggerated to begin with; after all, it was a degraded version of All-Killing Ash Bones.

For a power belonging to Kekkei Mōra to erupt inside an ordinary person, the only result is death!"

"Orochimaru really has some genuine skills. Even when this kid has reached this stage, he can still ensure that he stays alive until Naruto graduates..."

Hyuga Makoto's gaze flickered slightly. He had to admit that he was also extremely tempted by this power.

After all, he himself also possessed Shikotsumyaku!

It's just that this thing was still constantly absorbing his Chakra, seeming to still be in a state of evolution.

"If I were to obtain a power like Kimimaro's, then..."

Hyuga Makoto's fists tightened slightly. His physical fitness was certainly not something Kimimaro could compare to.

Not to mention, he also had the Byakugan, a power that could balance Shikotsumyaku!

"It seems I need to prepare properly..."

Thinking of this, Hyuga Makoto formed an idea in his mind.

No matter what this reward turns out to be, he planned to use "Sacrificial Alchemy" to do a massive draw...

Kimimaro didn't seem to realize that he had already been targeted by someone.

After simply purchasing some items, he left the town and headed deep into the forest.

After a while, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his expression turned incomparably respectful.

"Lord Orochimaru, you're here."

"Mm, you've worked hard."

Orochimaru looked at Kimimaro before him, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

"Go back and rest early, and prepare to leave this place in the future as well."

"I understand."

Kimimaro nodded, holding no doubt whatsoever about Orochimaru's decision.

"Wherever Lord Orochimaru is, that's where I will go."

"You..."

Orochimaru gently shook his head, feeling somewhat emotional.

"That place isn't considered all that great, but I think those guys should be able to help me figure out how to solve your trouble."

Orochimaru also paid great attention to Kimimaro's matters.

It's just that the sudden eruption of Yang Release truly left him with no solution.

He hadn't failed to guess whether Kimimaro's situation might be similar to Hashirama's.

If that were the case, perhaps he could solve the problem through the Byakugan!

It's just that in the past, the Byakugan was difficult to acquire.

After all, those executing missions were all from the Branch House, and seizing a Byakugan served no use at all.

And now, that Hyuga Makoto seemed a bit too ferocious; he wasn't even sure if he could succeed.

"Lord Orochimaru, there's no need to worry about my problem; I believe Lord Orochimaru can solve it."

Kimimaro lowered his head, his expression incomparably respectful.

"However, Lord Orochimaru, this time I want to stay behind; I hope to do something for Lord Orochimaru."

"You want to stay?"

Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat peculiar. After pondering over it for a long time, he finally shook his head.

"Forget it about you; you completely don't understand what kind of people we will encounter this time—none of them are simple."

"Yes."

Kimimaro lowered his head, a trace of desolation seemingly flashing in his eyes, but Orochimaru suddenly let out a raspy laugh.

"However, it doesn't matter if you want to take a look. After all, your talent is peerless, and understanding these formidable guys in the Ninja World isn't a bad thing."

Although he wasn't sure if Kimimaro's problem could be solved, nor did he know how much longer Kimimaro could live,

since he was still alive, Orochimaru would cultivate him properly.

After all, if it really worked out, Kimimaro might just become his vessel!

"If my judgment is accurate, and I manage to get a pair of Byakugan for Kimimaro, then—"

Having learned that Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi had both had their Mangekyo brutally beaten by the Byakugan, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back,

his interest in eyes like the Mangekyo was no longer that high.

As for the Rinnegan, it wasn't that he had no thoughts about it, but that Man from the Heavens seemed rather disdainful of the Rinnegan.

In that case, he might as well seek some new Breakthroughs; perhaps he would make new discoveries!

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru..."

Hearing these words, Kimimaro's eyes instantly lit up.

He truly longed so much to be able to help Orochimaru, and longed so much to do something.

"Alright, go prepare."

Orochimaru shook his head, cast his gaze backward, and then let out a raspy laugh.

"A good show is about to be staged shortly..."

"You kid, can you be sure you didn't mistake the person?"

Inside the forest, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others hurried over together.

It was just that both he and Tsunade currently wore rather displeased expressions.

One of them was having a blast playing when he was abruptly interrupted, and the other had just let loose in high-stakes gambling only to be dragged away immediately afterward.

Feeling upset in their hearts was completely normal, but they were also well aware of each other's missions, so no matter how displeased they felt, they grew serious.

"Also, are you sure it's Orochimaru?"

"How could I possibly misidentify something like this?"

Hyuga Makoto tilted his head and let out a soft huff before speaking.

"I've encountered that guy several times already; neither his appearance nor his Chakra can be mistaken."

"Then it seems we came to the Land of Rice Fields correctly?"

Jiraiya's expression turned somewhat solemn, but Tsunade at the side shook her head.

"Not necessarily either. No one can say for sure whether this is their trap, so it's better for us to be a bit cautious."

"That's right, we still need to check out the Land of Rain."

Jiraiya nodded earnestly, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

"Furthermore, judging by that fellow Orochimaru's habits, I'm afraid we've already been discovered."

"Yeah, that guy is far more cautious than ordinary people."

Tsunade also scanned her surroundings. They were all too familiar with Orochimaru, so they naturally understood the personality of this former partner of theirs.

The moment you noticed him and discovered him, it was very likely that you had already been discovered by him!

"Makoto, do you have any discoveries?"

Yamato hurried over to Hyuga Makoto's side at this moment and asked in a low voice.

"In other words, do you know where they went?"

"That's right."

Kakashi also turned his head to look at Hyuga Makoto. The convenience brought by this pair of Byakugan was unimaginable.

"Makoto, your Byakugan should be able to see a lot of things."

"They vanished in this direction."

Hyuga Makoto casually pointed a finger, then calmly continued speaking.

"I haven't found anything else for the moment, but I'd like to ask a question: did we burn incense before heading out?"

"Burning incense..."

Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged glances, instantly preparing themselves for battle.

Kakashi and Yamato also understood Hyuga Makoto very well; this fellow's sensory abilities were truly extraordinary!

"Burning incense" was representative of their bad luck. Since Hyuga Makoto said such words, the situation was likely to turn truly terrible.

"Truly sharp; as expected of the Byakugan."

Sure enough, right as Hyuga Makoto's voice fell, a distortion appeared in the space not far from them.

Immediately following that, one figure after another dressed in black cloaks with red clouds stepped slowly out from the distorted space.

"Tch, what a Pain."

Tsunade let out a cold huff, staring dead at these figures together with the others.

However, the moment the very last figure walked out from inside, both she and Jiraiya froze in place!

"You are..."

Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly, while Tsunade's brows knitted together.

"One of those three kids from the Land of Rain back then?"

"As expected of Lady Tsunade, have you already recognized me?"

Pain didn't care in the least. He merely glanced indifferently at Tsunade before shifting his gaze, filled with complex emotions, toward Jiraiya.

"It really has been a long time, Teacher Jiraiya..."
