Chapter 476 - Chapter 277: Gains and Satomi's Confidence (Part 2)

Uchiha Yoichi advised, recalling that Otsutsuki Toneri had awakened the Tenseigan in less than a day.

Hyuga Satomi's Byakugan may not be as pure as Hyuga Hanabi's Byakugan, yet it possesses the conditions needed to awaken the Tenseigan; it is merely a matter of time now.

"I understand, Teacher Yoichi."

Hyuga Satomi nodded, speaking. As for going home to rest? She did not feel like returning home; instead, the place she most desired to go to was the Hokage Office, to see the look on Kurenai's face.

"Teacher Yoichi, what about him?"

Hyuga Satomi glanced at the still-unconscious Otsutsuki Toneri, this person bearing the mission of destroying the Ninja World.

"Once healed, keep him in Konoha for the time being, as he hasn't done anything yet. If he grows up and still dares to destroy the Ninja World, then we will deal with it."

Uchiha Yoichi extended his hand, covering Otsutsuki Toneri's eyes for a moment. When he withdrew his hand, Otsutsuki Toneri had grown a new pair of eyes, but a seal had also appeared on his body, allowing him to only use a small portion of Chakra.

"Well, he is also considered one of your clan. Once you return, ask Hyuga Hiashi if he is willing to take over caring for Otsutsuki Toneri. However, the Otsutsuki legacy on the Moon will then be entrusted to you for safekeeping."

"I understand. Then I will take my leave, Teacher Yoichi."

"Hmm."

After saying goodbye, Hyuga Satomi left the Uchiha Clan Land, feeling great. Besides the physical changes, the changes in her mood made Hyuga Satomi even more joyous.

Konoha was flourishing, while tensions were mounting in the Ninja World.

"Then, it's time for the three-country meeting. Because the Daimyo of the Land of Rain is unwell, Lord Hanzo from the Hidden Rain Village will be representing and speaking for the Land of Rain."

A ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village spoke, before him were several interconnected desktop computers, transmitting via special signal lines. It took over half a month of preparations to allow the Hidden Rock Village and the Land of Earth Daimyo, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning Daimyo, and Hanzo from the Hidden Rain Village, to hold this remote meeting across the three regions of Lightning, Earth, and Rain.

This meeting was entirely in response to the increasingly domineering Konoha. After Chiyo fled with the Hidden Sand Ninja following her, she initially intended to seek refuge with Hanzo.

But when she discovered Konoha Ninja frequently appearing in the Land of Rain, she immediately realized the Hidden Rain Village was likely also in danger, so she redirected through the Land of Earth to the Hidden Rock Village.

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning had previously met with an emissary from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind. However, at that time, they were somewhat hesitant, given the fallout from the Third Ninja World War had only been a few years past; restoring their own ninja villages had already consumed a lot of funds, and embarking on another war felt like cutting into their flesh.

But when Chiyo informed Onoki that the Hidden Sand Village was gone and the Hidden Rain Village was extremely precarious, Onoki couldn't sit still.

He immediately reached out to A from the Hidden Cloud Village, along with the Daimyos from the Lands of Earth and Lightning, and Hanzo from the Hidden Rain Village. Finally, with technological assistance from the Hidden Cloud Village, this meeting was accomplished.

"Is the Daimyo of the Land of Rain truly ill?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning asked with dissatisfaction as soon as the meeting began, with the precedent of Konoha potentially controlling the Daimyo Mansion, he was particularly irked by Hanzo, a ninja leading a nation.

"Could it be that you, the 'Demigod,' are controlling him?"

Hanzo listened and responded expressionlessly, "There is no such necessity. I have a good relationship with Lord Amanoraku, who entrusted all matters related to war to me as he doesn't quite understand them."

"But who can be certain...."

"Lord Lei Jie, better we discuss real matters. The danger from Konoha now far exceeds any other concerns."

Onoki spoke, interrupting, stating that this alliance must not fall apart, otherwise any single ninja village would not be capable of handling the ever-strengthening Konoha alone.

"Konoha may have potentially controlled the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and is soon going to target the Daimyo of the Land of Wind; if we cannot unite, he will surely come after us next."

Following Onoki's words, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth also spoke, "Indeed, Lord Lei Jie, in this regard, it's better to listen more to the Third Generation Tsuchikage. However, is there truly no way to contact the Daimyo of the Land of Fire? Even if he might be under control, what about others?"

Ninja attacking nobles is absolutely the greatest taboo, haven't the other noble ministers in the Land of Fire reacted?

"Minister Tsukiyo and Minister Hinoki sensed something amiss, but when we attempted further contact, both ministers met unexpected deaths, and the ninja dispatched also lost contact...."

A's Raikage Assistant, Samui, spoke.

"Damn Konoha Ninja, they truly flagrantly disobeyed the ninja rules!"

"Not only this, according to information from the fleeing Hidden Sand Village ninja, Konoha's First Generation Hokage seems to have been resurrected, and they are using the Reanimation Jutsu, this Forbidden Technique, on a large scale, and have also taken the One-tailed from the Hidden Sand."

Onoki added, attributing Black Zetsu's deeds to Konoha; yet, this assumption seemed rational as the Reanimation Jutsu was Konoha's Forbidden Technique, plus following the One-tailed's theft, Konoha attacked the Hidden Sand.

"The Tailed Beast from the Hidden Mist Village seems to have been stolen as well, though the information is unclear. I have already sent envoys to the Hidden Mist Village to inquire about forming an alliance. If contact can be made, our strength will increase."

Combating Konoha was their shared choice, and very necessary, agreeing upon this was unnecessary; though there existed animosity between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village, with Konoha as the adversary, they could momentarily set aside their grievances.
