Rebellion, starting from the Hyuga branch

....

The fog was thick and mixed with the strong smell of blood.

Everywhere you looked, there were broken limbs and debris.

Hyuga Kaigetsu was covered in blood. He crushed the throat of the last Mist Ninja and threw it aside.

"It's finally over."

After such a long fight, the branch family boy was a little tired, and most of his chakra was consumed, but he was still energetic and even a little excited.

When he came to the body of Biwa Juzo, Hinata Minazuki felt a little emotional.

This elite jonin who had some reputation in the plot did not die at the hands of the Tailed Beast Ball, but died at his hands.

"The plot characters aren't that hard to kill..."

Hinata Kaitsuki was a little pleased with himself. After wasting so much time, he finally had some ability to protect himself in this dangerous world. After he unlocked his gene lock, his combat power in a short period of time was at least at the level of an elite jonin.

Thanks to medical ninjutsu, even if the gene lock was unlocked, he could immediately treat the side effects and injuries and maintain his combat power.

"Unfortunately.."

"It would be great if the gene lock could be maintained for a long time."

Hinata Kaitsuki felt the afterglow of the gene lock. The feeling of being almost omnipotent, as if he was a god controlling his body, really made him unable to stop.

"If I can maintain the state of the gene lock for a long time, I can fight even the shadow."

Hinata Minazuki thought, and put away the corpse at his feet, along with the beheading sword.

In terms of functionality, the beheading sword is the most mediocre of the seven ninja swords. In addition to being able to absorb blood to restore the damaged blade, it has no attack power at all.

Relatively speaking, it is almost mediocre.

In addition, the beheading sword represents more political significance. After all, it is one of the seven ninja swords of the Mist Ninja, representing the highest level of military weapons of the Mist Ninja. If

Hinata Minazuki takes it back, it will be at least a first-class merit.

"With merit and achievements, you can gain more trust from the top leaders of Konoha."

"I can also gain more autonomy!"

The young man from the separated family set off again and disappeared into the vast fog......

Konoha, after a few days of marching, Hinata Kaitsuki returned to Konoha.

Compared to the rush of the departure, he returned more slowly. In addition to recovering from his injuries, he practiced while walking.

After entering the gate of Konoha, he clearly felt that Konoha's security became more and more tense.

Whether it was the villagers or the ninjas, they basically had to perform specific ninjutsu detection before they were allowed to enter Konoha.

"The situation is getting tense..."

Hinata Minazuki walked towards the gate, but no one came up to search.

As a great ninja, he still had some privileges, especially with a bloodline limit like the Byakugan, it was almost impossible to disguise himself. As for things like transformation techniques, the chakra fluctuations would have been discovered at the Konoha barrier, and would not have reached the gate at all.

If the Konoha barrier detects that you are using a transformation technique, three elite teams of Anbu will immediately come to encircle you, or even kill you on the spot.

After all, even in peacetime, only spies would use transformation techniques to disguise themselves.

After entering the Konoha gate, Hinata Minazuki walked straight to the Hokage building.

Having completed his mission, the first person he should see was naturally the Hokage.

Halfway through the walk, Hinata Minazuki's eyes lit up, and he saw a familiar figure with long fluttering hair, also heading in the direction of the Hokage building.

"Lord Orochimaru."

The young man from the branch family took the initiative to greet him. He had never seen Orochimaru again after the last meeting. As a scientific research expert, it was natural for him to explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"It's you, I remember you, Hinata Minazuki.."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, as if he was sizing up his prey. Although he had no murderous intent, he still made people feel cold.

After the last meeting, Orochimaru showed some interest in the Hyuga boy, and even specifically asked for information.

Hyuga Minazuki, born in a branch family, was talented and had a good reputation.

He was the face of this generation of the Hyuga family.

When he met Hyuga Minazuki this time, Orochimaru was more keenly aware of his changes. He had a stronger aura and a calmer look. Even when facing him, Orochimaru had his own confidence.

"Lord Orochimaru, are you going to report to Lord Hokage?"

Hinata Minazuki smiled and said respectfully.

"Aren’t you the same?"

"Looks like a good harvest.."

Orochimaru's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

"I just came back from the Water Kingdom, and now the situation is getting tense."

"Time flies. When I first met Lord Orochimaru, I had just graduated from clan training."

"After I finished my clan training, I was assigned to Minato's class. What a pity. I actually admired Orochimaru very much."

"I have always wanted to work with Lord Orochimaru."

The young man from the branch family obviously did not express his meaning clearly, and there was something else behind his words.

Orochimaru was also extremely smart, and his political wisdom was not inferior to scientific research, but he just disdained to use it. He immediately understood what Hyuga Minazuki meant. The

Hyuga family has always been closely following the Hokage line, and now he has arranged his most outstanding clansmen under the name of Minato Namikaze instead of Orochimaru. The meaning is self-evident.

It shows that the Third Hokage has changed his mind. Compared with Orochimaru, this outstanding disciple, he began to prefer Minato Namikaze, his grandson, and allocated a lot of political resources to him. The same is true for Kakashi and the Uchiha clan. They are not the ones that ordinary guiding jonin can contact.

"What do you want to say?"

"The boy of the Hyuga family.."

Orochimaru's expression fluctuated a little, but it was not surprise, but amusement.

He had long lost interest in the position of Hokage, and he had other pursuits in his heart, but now he was more interested in what the branch family boy Hyuga Minazuki wanted to do.

Although the intelligence said that Hyuga Minazuki was a well-rounded successor of the Will of Fire, loyal to the main family and Konoha, in reality, it was obviously not the case.

This boy, like him, had a restless desire under his gentle and polite appearance.

"I still remember what I told you when we first met."

"Life is too fragile, whether it is ninja or other life, it is too fragile."

Hinata Kaitsuki's calm tone was filled with extremely uneasy desires.

Strictly speaking, he was not a madman like Uchiha Itachi, and even had a somewhat contented personality. If there was no choice, it would not be impossible to be a dog for Hinata.

With his strength, as long as he worked hard as a branch family and fulfilled his duties, the treatment would definitely be good.

But now he has a choice....Who wants to be a dog?

"Lord Orochimaru didn't answer me at first, but now.."

"I think Lord Orochimaru would agree."

Orochimaru's pupils shrank, emitting an extremely dangerous aura that enveloped the surroundings. In an instant, Hyuga Kaigetsu felt the materialized pressure, which came from the gap in strength!

"Oh?"

Orochimaru was sure in his heart that the young man in front of him seemed to have seen through his deepest thoughts, which surprised him a little, and at the same time, he felt a little relieved to be recognized.

"So, you also want to pursue more possible lives?"

Orochimaru licked his lips and looked at Hyuga Minazuki with a strange look in his eyes. He didn't expect that the person who knew him best in Konoha was actually a boy from the Hyuga family. The so-called more possible lives were naturally what Orochimaru had in mind, immortality, eternal life, and longevity!

"No, at least not now."

"After all, I am still young."

Hinata Kaitsuki smiled and shook his head.

Immortality is too far away for him. He has not even reached his peak, so there is no need to consider the problem of decline.

"Really.."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Orochimaru's eyes. He had originally thought he had met a fellow traveler.

"But I think we can be friends, Lord Orochimaru"

"Pursuing it now doesn't mean you won't pursue it in the future"

"I just think that everyone has different pursuits at different stages of life."

"Immortality or something like that is not the most important thing to me right now."

Orochimaru said without comment, his eyes half-smiled.

"Yes, you have wisdom beyond your years."

"Tell me, what do you need from me?"

Of course, Orochimaru is not a naive person. Hyuga Minazuki took the initiative to contact him for only one thing - that is, profit.

"And what can you give! ?"

As a Sannin and a scientific genius, Orochimaru naturally has his own pride. Not just anyone can do business with him. He must bring out his own capital. He is not so naive as to expect Orochimaru to give him benefits just by talking nonsense.

"I need a sealing technique,"

Hinata Kaizuki showed his true colors, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"To be precise, it is a sealing system from low-level to high-level."

Orochimaru understood. This is a taboo among taboos for the Hyuga branch family. No wonder this young man would come to him.

Sarutobi teacher will not allow such uneasy factors to exist. For the third generation Hokage, the stability of the village is more important than anything else. As for whether the rules of the Hyuga branch family are reasonable or inhumane,...

For a military organization that sends a ten-year-old boy to the battlefield, moral bottom line is dispensable most of the time.

Besides, Konoha doesn't want to see the white eyes shed.

"This is my bargaining chip, Lord Orochimaru."

"There is also a fragment of one of the Seven Ninja Swords, the Beheading Sword, as a small gift."

Hinata Minazuki was not afraid of anything and threw two scrolls directly.

The perception of the Byakugan was buggy enough, and with Orochimaru, a great master in front of him, it was almost impossible for anyone to spy on their conversation and transaction.

Orochimaru was a little surprised. The Beheading Sword...

This kid is still showing off his confidence. Can he kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?...At this age, it is indeed exceptional.

Hinata Minazuki did not feel bad at all.

The function of the beheading sword was useless. It absorbed iron from the blood to restore the blade. It was estimated that only scientific research experts like Orochimaru would be slightly interested.

As for the Third Hokage, he also kept a part of the handle of the beheading sword. As long as it was reported lost in the fight, it would not be a problem.

Orochimaru ignored the storage scroll and opened another sealed scroll directly. He saw the contents.

"Conjecture about immortality..."

"The immortality of the body.. telomere loss...Regenerate animal genes...Cell gene transplantation.."

"Long-lived and short-lived species.. Tailed beasts and summoning beasts..."

"The soul reincarnates... adapts to the body... seizes the body..."

The more Orochimaru looked, the deeper the gleam in his eyes became. After a quick glance, he looked up at Hinata Kaitsuki with a look of surprise on his face.

"These things of yours don't look like they have never been experimented with."

Hyuga Kaigetsu smiled but said nothing.

Many of these"ideas" were the research results of previous scientific studies. Naturally, they were not conclusions that could be drawn simply by ideas. With Orochimaru's vision, he could naturally see the profoundness and rigor of them.

Although the things he brought out were fragmented and unsystematic, they were enough to bring Orochimaru a lot of inspiration and direction in his research on immortality. After all, inspiration and direction are more important than anything else in scientific research.

"Your bargaining chip impressed me, and it really did a lot for me."

Orochimaru opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue, spitting out a sticky seal scroll.

"The sealing technique you want contains most of the sealing techniques in Konoha."

Hinata Kaitsuki remained silent, trying not to show a disgusted expression, and took out a handkerchief to cover it before daring to put it away.

However, Orochimaru did not care, but kindly reminded him:

"But I want to remind you that it is not that simple to be a bird in a cage."

"The sealing technique that has been accumulated for hundreds or thousands of years may not be profound enough, but it is definitely stubborn."

"If you want to solve it, you may need more advanced sealing techniques."

"In the ninja world, the most advanced sealing techniques are in the hands of the Uzumaki clan."

Orochimaru stopped talking, and the meaning was self-evident.

The Uzumaki clan's secret sealing techniques are now in the hands of Konoha's high-ranking officials, and even he can't get in touch with them.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would have learned the later Shiki Fuujin.

"I'll pay attention."

Hinata Kaitsuki had been prepared in his heart.

Apart from the top leaders of Konoha, only a few people had the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. It would be very difficult for him to obtain it.

However, he had some vague plans in his mind, and this matter was not a high priority. Sealing techniques were not so easy to learn. What if he didn't have any sealing skills? Even if he got the Uzumaki clan's secret technique, it would be in vain.

"So...I wish you all the best, Lord Orochimaru."

Hinata Kaitsuki said, and then disappeared from the spot and went straight to the Hokage Building.

Orochimaru was a step slower, with a meaningful look in his eyes.......

""Hokage-sama," Hyuga

Minazuki stood straight and presented the scroll that contained the beheading sword and the body of Biwa Juzo.

"The target of the mission, Biwa Juzo and his four subordinates, are all dead. Their bodies and beheading swords are here."

"According to the information I got, their purpose of entering the border of the Land of Fire was to test Konoha's vigilance and attitude."

"In preparation for the next possible big move"

"The specific mission report has been handed over to the people at the mission handover for review."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised and opened the sealed scroll that was handed over.

The smoke dissipated, revealing the body of Biwa Juzang with thousands of holes and the beheading sword that was broken and only the handle was left.

From the purple bruises on the skin, but there were no obvious external injuries, it was obviously caused by the soft fist, not other means.

In other words... this fourteen-year-old boy from the branch family in front of him actually killed an elite jonin who had been famous for a long time and even had his own title in a head-on battle!

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that killing the rain ninja jonin was just an accident or luck. After all, the strength of the jonin of the small ninja village is originally inferior to that of the big ninja village. The strength of many jonin of the small ninja village is only at the level of the elite chunin and special jonin of the big ninja village.

But Biwa Juzang is different. He stood out from the mist ninja and inherited the name of the seven ninjas from countless battles. Now it seems that the excellence of this boy is even better than he expected!

"Well done..the mission was accomplished exceptionally well.."

""Minetsuki, you are already a qualified Konoha ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hinata Minetsuki with surprise and satisfaction.

He originally thought that Hinata Minetsuki's talent was just a possibility for the Kage, but now it seems that there is another junior who is not inferior to Kakashi, and even has better qualifications than Kakashi. It is likely that it is only a matter of time before he grows up to be the Kage.

"The task you randomly selected was the most difficult, but you completed it most brilliantly."

"As a bonus.."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also took out his chips to win over the Hyuga branch.

"In the name of the Third Hokage, I promote you to Special Jonin!"

"And this time you have dealt a blow to the Mist Ninja's arrogance, so you have made a contribution."

"If you have any requests, you can ask them yourself."

Hinata Minazuki was a little surprised. It seems that the Third Hokage is still quite generous.

"I want to learn a technique, Hokage-sama.."

He thought about it for a moment. Since there was a reward, he definitely couldn't let it expire. If he remembered it later, Sarutobi Hiruzen might not recognize it.

He couldn't ask for the sealing technique he wanted to learn the most. There were very few Konoha secret techniques that could be adapted to the Gentle Fist system. After all, Konoha was not known for its ninjutsu. If he wanted to complete himself, he could only use that technique...

"I want to learn spiritualism,"

Hinata Minazuki's eyes lit up.

"If possible, summoning can make up for some of the weaknesses of the soft fist."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"As for summoning, if you want to increase your strength in a short period of time, it is indeed suitable for you."Summoning has no side effects, and you don't even need to practice anything to summon a powerful summoned beast to help. A powerful summoned beast is no less than a plug-in for any ninja.

For example, Jiraiya's fairy baby, or Hanzo's salamander

"Your mentor, Mr. Minato, is good at summoning. I just need to tell him about this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't hesitate. It would be difficult for someone without summoning skills, but if there is a family master-disciple inheritance, it would just be a matter of adding a name. After all, the summoned beasts are not interested in who the contracted person is.

The summoned beasts have their own logic of doing things.

"Hokage, I don't want to sign a contract with Minato's summoning beast...."

Hinata Kaizuki felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I have seen the teacher's spirit beast"

"I kind of... don't like toads."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the appearance of the branch family boy and felt a little funny in his heart. He didn't expect that a genius who could kill an elite jonin would be afraid of a creature like a toad.

However, he could understand it. After all, he was still young and it was normal for him to have his own personality.

"In this case, I will think of other ways."

Although Konoha is not short of summoned beasts, they all have owners. Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to do favors, but he has to get others' consent.

Hearing the promise of the Third Hokage, Hinata Minazuki breathed a sigh of relief.

He was unwilling to sign an agreement with Myoboku Mountain because he might defect from Konoha in the future, and then it would be awkward to contact Myoboku Mountain.

After all, compared with Ryuchi Cave and Wet Bone Forest, which don't care about worldly affairs, Myoboku Mountain's attitude towards the faction of the Son of Prophecy should not be too obvious.

Hinata Minazuki doesn't want to summon toads to help here and then turn around to deal with him.

If possible, he hopes to sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave. After all, Ryuchi Cave, like Myoboku Mountain, has a stable sage mode.

When the branch family boy left, he happened to meet Orochimaru who came in at the door.

The two of them looked straight at each other at the door of the Hokage's office, as if they didn't know each other at all, and just passed by each other.
