Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: The Curtain Rises

When Asana arrived at the conference room, the gazes of the people from the other four Villages converged on her.

Asana was not as famous as Uchiha En, and the people from the other four Ninja Villages clearly did not recognize her.

Asana didn't mind and introduced herself to everyone: "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Asana. I am the current Great Elder of the Hyuga Clan and also the Hokage's assistant."

"Is there no one left in Konoha Village? The Hokage's assistant is actually a young girl." Chiyo said after scrutinizing Asana.

Due to her bloodline atavism, Asana looked only about 18 or 19 years old.

However, putting her appearance aside, Asana's actual age was indeed that of a young girl compared to Chiyo's age.

Generally speaking, unless they are exceptionally talented, a Ninja's strength in the early stages is directly proportional to their age.

They usually reach their peak at 30-40, are in their prime at 50, and gradually decline at 60.

If Asana were such an exceptionally talented individual, her name would surely be known throughout the Ninja World. But since no one present recognized Asana, she was clearly not that kind of genius.

That's why Chiyo looked down on Asana.

Mei Terumī wasn't as direct as Chiyo. She said in a more tactful tone: "Little sister of the Hyuga Clan, we have important matters to discuss with Hokage-sama. Please help us call him."

Asana smiled slightly at her words. Just as she was about to speak, C, from Kumogakure, said impatiently: "Little girl, this is not the place for you. Hurry up and call the Hokage!"

Kurotsuchi, the youngest among those present, remained silent, merely observing Asana.

"Sigh! I originally wanted to talk to you peacefully, but you're being ungrateful." After saying that, Asana activated her Tenseigan.

Her azure pupils swept across everyone present, and then an immense pressure surged towards them.

C was the first to collapse, directly onto the conference table.

Kurotsuchi was the second.

Followed by Chiyo.

Finally, Mei Terumī.

"Now, do I have the qualifications to speak with you?" Asana asked expressionlessly.

Chiyo looked at Asana, whose face was as tender as a young girl's, and a surge of fear welled up in her heart.

How could this little girl be so powerful? Just her aura alone had immobilized her.

Mei Terumī had a similar feeling.

Mei Terumī believed her strength was definitely not inferior to a Kage-level expert; she was even qualified to be the Kage of a Village.

But Asana could easily suppress her without even moving a hand, which was too terrifying.

Among those present, Kurotsuchi had the clearest understanding of Asana's strength.

Kurotsuchi had seen Pain, and this woman gave her a more terrifying feeling than facing Pain.

This meant her strength was very likely above Pain!

Kurotsuchi's feeling was correct. Nagato, in essence, had transplanted Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, while Asana had awakened the Tenseigan herself. The difference between the two was self-evident.

"I... I surrender. You are qualified to speak with us." C couldn't hold on and chose to back down.

The other three also expressed that Asana was qualified to negotiate with them.

Asana didn't make things difficult for them anymore. Uchiha En had told her to give them a warning, and Asana felt that this was probably enough.

"Tell me! Why have you come to Konoha?" Asana asked, sitting in the main seat.

"The Akatsuki Organization has been rampaging through the Ninja World recently. We hope Konoha can join forces with us to eradicate the Akatsuki Organization," Chiyo said.

"Sorry, Konoha doesn't have time to help you. We have more powerful enemies to deal with than the Akatsuki Organization," Asana said.

"More powerful enemies?"

"That's right. The current Akatsuki Organization is actually related to the more powerful enemy I mentioned."

"Who is this enemy you speak of?" Mei Terumī asked.

"That's a long story. Do you know the Six Paths Sage?"

The four exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.

"Strictly speaking, the Six Paths Sage is not from our Ninja World. His mother..." Asana then gave everyone a history lesson about the Ninja World.

However, she concealed the existence of Uchiha Madara and blamed the Akatsuki Organization on Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

The four had various expressions after listening.

"So, the Akatsuki Organization members, that masked Tobi and White Zetsu, are acting on the will of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, right?" Chiyo asked.

"That's right."

"What about Pain? What's the deal with Pain?" Kurotsuchi pressed.

"Pain's Rinnegan was also bestowed by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, with the purpose of collecting Tailed Beasts to help her revive."

"So the more powerful enemy you Konoha are fighting is Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?" C asked.

"Of course not. If it were Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, we would directly attack the Akatsuki Organization and destroy them, so Ōtsutsuki Kaguya wouldn't be able to revive. There would be no need for you to say anything.

But now there is someone in the Ninja World who poses a greater threat than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. As I just said, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is not from the Ninja World, and now there are extraterrestrial beings similar to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya who have come to the Ninja World."

The four were stunned, clearly not expecting such a turn of events.

This guy has a red halo behind him, possesses the Byakugan like me, and has white hair. The Byakugan can transform into the Rinnegan during battle, and the specific effect is like this.

With that, Asana opened her hand, and a Tenseigan Chakra orb transformed into the appearance of an Ōtsutsuki Clan member who had fought Uchiha En.

Of course, Asana couldn't perfectly replicate the appearance, as she had never seen this Ōtsutsuki Clan member, only heard Uchiha En describe the general characteristics.

"I think I've seen this person before," Kurotsuchi said after seeing the image of the Ōtsutsuki Clan member.

"You've seen him? Where?" Asana asked.

"When the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails were revived, our Iwagakure participated in the struggle for the Tailed Beasts. At that time, I saw someone very similar to him suddenly appear from the sky."

"And then?" Chiyo pressed.

"Then he alone wiped out our Anbu squad and Konoha's Anbu squad and killed the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails."

"How many people did you send?"

"At that time, my father, Kitsuchi, led the team, along with over 200 Ninja. As for Konoha's Anbu squad, I only know that there was an Uchiha Clan member in that squad, who used Susanoo to fight that guy."

"Didn't win?" C asked.

C had personally witnessed Uchiha En's Susanoo crush the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

In C's eyes, the destructive power of Susanoo was no different from a god's.

But to his surprise, Kurotsuchi shook her head and said: "Susanoo was as fragile as paper when facing this person and was easily destroyed."

"Kurotsuchi is right. At that time, both Uchiha Clan members were injured, and one was critically wounded. If they hadn't been treated in time, they would have probably died," Asana said.

Everyone fell silent. Easily penetrating their perceived absolute defense, Susanoo—was this truly something a human could do?

"So, are you Konoha looking for this person now?" Chiyo asked.

"That's right. You simply can't handle this guy. In the entire Ninja World, only En has a way to fight him."

"Are there any other Ōtsutsuki Clan members besides him? Is every Ōtsutsuki Clan member that powerful?" Mei Terumī asked.

"For now, no other Ōtsutsuki Clan members have come, but we don't know about the future. As for the strength of Ōtsutsuki Clan members, I can only say that even the weakest are stronger than the leader of the Akatsuki Organization."
