Chapter 701 Schemes
Chapter 701 Schemes
Sungai tribe.
The clan chief's courtyard.
This place was originally the residence of Hiashi Hyuga, but the New Sprout Plan was successfully implemented, resulting in the extinction of the entire main family except for Hinata and Hanabi.
This place is now used for office work.
Hyuga Neji knew that Aoto, the acting clan leader, worked here, so he came to the courtyard alone.
"Lord Aoto, I am Neji."
"Neji, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Neji pushed open the door and went inside. When he saw who was in the room, his pupils dilated instantly.
"Lord Mitsunobu, Lord Sota!?"
Neji's voice was filled with disbelief; two people who had died years ago were now standing alive before his eyes.
However, these two people appeared to be slightly younger than their actual age. Neji involuntarily activated his Byakugan and discovered that their chakra was incredibly familiar; they were clearly the same two people from back then.
“It’s us, Neji. You’ve grown up.”
When Mitsunobu died, Neji was still in the Ninja Academy. Now, in the blink of an eye, Neji has become a Jonin.
His physique has also changed dramatically; he's already an adult.
Neji's eyes showed immense shock:
"What...what exactly is going on!?"
Sota gave Aoto a wink, and the two went out together.
Only Koshin and Neji remained in the room.
"The Fifth Hokage, along with Orochimaru and Tsunade, have developed a forbidden method to revive the dead."
"The Fourth Hokage was also resurrected using this method."
"My resurrection and that of Sota were obtained by Aoto and everyone else, who risked all the disapproval from the main family, to secure the two spots."
Neji was stunned for several seconds before he gradually accepted this shocking fact.
He frowned, but did not question why his father was not included in the quota.
Hizashi died many years ago, and the Hyuga family's current freedom is entirely due to Mitsunobu and Sota.
Neji wasn't upset, but his tone was somewhat regretful and his expression was a little somber:
"There are only two spots?"
Hizashi died such a miserable death back then, and Neji hated the main branch of the family for many years because of it.
However, the family later succeeded in a coup d'état, and the main family was wiped out.
He naturally missed his father, but he never imagined that the dead could come back to life.
Neji didn't actually know what the situation was like with the Fourth Hokage.
In his view, this must have come at a considerable cost.
Now that Koshin and Sota have been resurrected, Neji discovers that the threshold for resurrection seems to be lower than he imagined.
At this moment, Mitsunobu also spoke up: "The main reason I called you here is about Lord Hizashi."
Neji's eyes lit up as he looked at Mitsunobu with anticipation.
Guangxin began, "The steps for our resurrection are..."
He then explained the process of human cloning, impure world resurrection, and how Chiyo resurrected them.
Of course, these things were definitely confidential, but at this moment, Mitsushin also told Neji everything.
Neji's face was filled with shock. The entire ninja world knew that Orochimaru could regenerate severed limbs.
But I didn't expect that cloning would be such a mature technology.
Moreover, Neji has already discovered from the entire process that no matter which step is missing, the dead cannot be brought back to life.
and……
"Has Lord Qianyao returned?"
When Qianyao rose to prominence, he was the principal of the Ninja Academy and created the elite class system, which is still in use today.
Neji's mentor at that time was also a member of the Uchiha clan.
He also knew what Uchiha Chiyo's return meant for Konoha.
Guangxin nodded: "Regarding whether Lord Hizashi can be resurrected, you will need to ask Lord Qianyao for help."
Neji looked thoughtful: "Me?"
Guangxin confirmed, "Yes, it's understandable that you, as a son, want to resurrect your father."
"Moreover, you were a member of the first elite class, and your initial instructor was also from the Uchiha clan."
"Many of your classmates are also from the Uchiha clan. It would be easier for you to ask Lord Chiyo for help."
There's nothing wrong with Guangxin's words. After all, the Hyuga clan just revived two people, and now they want to revive Hizashi. It's a bit greedy of them to try and swallow an elephant.
But Neji's identity makes things much easier.
Even if it doesn't work out, there won't be much punishment.
Although it has a hint of scheming, we should still give it a try.
Neji wasn't stupid; he probably figured it out, but he didn't mind.
After all, the person she wanted to resurrect was her own father, and no one was more suitable than herself.
"I understand, I'll go right now."
Neji responded, somewhat eager to find Chiyo.
"Wait a moment."
Mitsunobu called out to Neji.
"You've just returned, don't set off immediately. Rest at the clan's residence for the night, and go tomorrow."
Going there immediately after Neji returned, and going there a day later without being able to resist, are two different things.
Although these are just some minor psychological techniques, Guangxin still wanted to increase the success rate.
"You should be prepared that Lord Qianyao may not agree to your request when you go tomorrow."
"But you also need to know what price you have to pay to do this."
Neji took a deep breath, suppressing his inner urgency.
"I understand, Lord Guangxin."
……
Uchiha Chiyo family.
"Hiss..." Qian Yao rubbed his temples and fell backward.
Orochimaru's scroll on modifying Sage Mode was extremely long, and Chiyo had to read it while experimenting on himself.
These past two days have left me feeling dizzy and disoriented.
It would be very troublesome if someone else were to modify the inherent energy storage path of the magic.
Without someone who also knows Sage Mode by your side to channel chaotic Sage Chakra at any time, it is very easy to get injured.
However, Qianyao has the ability to create clones with his pupil technique, so this problem does not occur.
Even if something goes wrong, we can just blow it up and start over.
In the past few days, Qianyao has also been working at full speed to cultivate.
Who knows when the Otsutsuki from outer space will strike down? If we're not strong enough by then, it'll be a joke.
Chiyo initially intended to experiment with chakra attribute changes, but the progress was faster than he had imagined.
That would naturally mean it's a two-way process.
It's just that I'm a little more tired every day now.
"I'm so tired, I can't cultivate at all."
Qianyao verbally slacked off, but his body betrayed him by sitting up again.
After all, his several eye-technique clones were all training, and a bunch of shadow clones were developing water-style chakra nature transformation.
Chiyo hasn't even started looking at Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique yet.
I'm tired of practicing immortal arts now, maybe I should change my mindset.
Qianyao spread out the scroll of the Hundred Healing Techniques.
However, he didn't immediately investigate because he remembered that he still hadn't claimed the Bond Star reward from Tsunade.
If I draw the Hundred Healings Technique, I won't need to practice it.
Qianyao narrowed his eyes, his attention already focused on the Star of Bonds.
