Inside the Hokage's office.

Kakashi and Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at each other, their emotions a complex mix of feelings that were hard to describe.

The only sound in the room was the soft, monotonous ticking of the clock on the wall, urging them to break the silence.

Finally, Hiruzen sighed softly: "Kakashi, have you been studying the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques all this time?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly.

"Third Hokage, actually, my real idea is to find the other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and then..."

"I will personally become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki and use my Sage Mode and Kamui power to perform the Inorganic Reincarnation."

Hearing Kakashi state this plan so directly...

Hiruzen was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Kakashi's idea to be so bold and direct.

To personally become a Jinchūriki...:

So, you learned the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques just to obtain the other half of the Nine-Tails' power...?

"you."

Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, his tone somewhat slow...

Why did you think of going this far?

Kakashi explained with clear eyes and a firm tone:

"Third Hokage, I understand the importance of Naruto as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and I will do my best to teach Naruto everything."

"But in any case, I don't want to put such heavy pressure and responsibility entirely on the shoulders of Naruto, a child."

At this point, Kakashi paused slightly: "After much deliberation, I finally decided... that it is most appropriate for me to take on all of this myself."

"Kakashi, have you really thought this through?"

Looking at the Third Hokage before him, Kakashi continued bluntly, "I don't want to interfere or participate too much in other village affairs."

"Right now, the most important thing for me is how to properly handle this crisis in the ninja world."

A brief silence fell over the room once again as Hiruzen quietly watched the transformed young man before him.

A sense of pride welled up inside me.

Kakashi continued, "Once I successfully become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, I can utilize the Inorganic Reincarnation and my Kamui power..."

Completely eliminate the catastrophe brought about by this impending planet.

"Although I'm not sure if I'll succeed, I feel that as a member of the ninja world, I have an obligation to do these things."

"As for those other so-called conspiracies and schemes..."

Kakashi gently shook his head.

"To be honest, I really don't care."

Saving the ninja world...

Someone has to do it, right?

Hiruzen, Tobirama, Danzo, and Orochimaru are entangled in a complex web of relationships.

Kakashi couldn't figure it out and didn't want to get dragged into their rhythm.

All he wanted was to kill Obito and save the world!

The core of this is the Inorganic Regeneration Globalization Plan...:

Therefore, Kakashi's words clearly express that he doesn't care who the Hokage is...

The person he supports is the Hokage, who can support his work.

Hearing Kakashi's frank and sincere words, Hiruzen finally couldn't help but reveal a bitter and complicated smile.

He understood, of course, that Kakashi's words were loaded with meaning, and seemed to be an implicit warning to himself not to go mad and destroy the world like Obito.

Kakashi looked up at Hiruzen, his eyes calm as still water: "So my only request is that the village support me in completing this mission and help me deal with this world-ending crisis."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he slowly lowered his gaze.

Hiruzen sighed softly and gave a bitter smile: "I understand, Kakashi... You really are just like your teacher, admirably persistent."

"Now that you've made your decision, I will naturally do my best to support you. But I also hope you're prepared, as this path will be far more difficult than you imagine."

Just then, the door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open!

Jiraiya's expression was extremely grave, with obvious anxiety in his eyes.

Hiruzen noticed Jiraiya's unusual behavior, sat up slightly, and asked with concern, "Jiraiya, what's wrong?"

Jiraiya paused slightly, as if hesitant, but finally spoke.

"Orochimaru... he wasn't a so-called defector from Konoha at all; his soul was completely sealed away using the Reaper Death Seal..."

Jiraiya's words caused the atmosphere in the room to freeze instantly, and even Kakashi, who was just about to leave, subconsciously frowned.

Kakashi was thoroughly fed up with these complicated political struggles and preferred to focus on the impending crisis in the ninja world.

He really didn't want to get involved in these long and complicated discussions anymore.

So he simply glanced at Jiraiya and then walked out the door without looking back.

The footsteps faded into the distance, leaving Jiraiya standing there, somewhat bewildered as to why Kakashi had suddenly become so cold.

Watching Kakashi's departing figure, Jiraiya paused, then murmured, "What's wrong with him?"

Hiruzen didn't offer much explanation, responding calmly and indifferently:

"So, Jiraiya, what exactly are you trying to say? Orochimaru is indeed conducting human experiments, that's beyond doubt."

"The Reaper Death Seal was a punishment imposed by the two Hokage advisors for his actions, so there's nothing strange about that."

What?

Those two dared to use the Reaper Death Seal on Orochimaru?!

Upon hearing Hiruzen's extremely calm words, Jiraiya's face immediately showed deep confusion and shock.

"Two advisors...this can't be..."

Seeing Jiraiya's slightly confused expression, Hiruzen waved his hand and said sternly, "Enough, Jiraiya! The most important thing right now is the crisis in the ninja world, not those old grudges and the ties between you."

"The ninja world is on the verge of destruction, and you're still worrying about such trivial matters!"

This argument is exactly the same as what Kakashi just said to Hiruzen.

Now, the situation is reversed; Jiraiya is being educated instead.

"What you need to do now is go to Mount Myōboku as soon as possible and personally check on Naruto's progress in Sage Mode training. That's what you really need to focus on, understand?"

Jiraiya was stunned by Hiruzen's words and didn't react for a long time.

Faced with Hiruzen's tough stance, he scratched his head:

"I'm leaving now."

Seeing this, Hiruzen's expression softened slightly, but he still gave Jiraiya a disapproving look and coldly waved his hand: "Go quickly, don't disappoint me again."

After being reprimanded by Hiruzen, Jiraiya was quite annoyed.

He glanced at Hiruzen with a hint of hesitation, then turned and left the office with no other option.

The office door closed again, leaving Hiruzen alone behind the large desk.

He sighed softly, gazing intently at the sky outside the door, his expression complex and weary.

As for Jiraiya, who was leaving, his feelings were extremely complicated. As he walked towards Mount Myōboku, he kept thinking:

Orochimaru, the Reaper Death Seal, Kakashi's indifference, and Hiruzen's increasingly unpredictable attitude...

Everything seemed to be gradually getting beyond his control and comprehension.

He had a vague feeling that there was a deeper conspiracy and truth hidden behind this, but he was unable to see it or explore it at the moment.

Jiraiya silently embarked on the road to Mount Myōboku, his heart gradually becoming heavy and bewildered.

The Hyuga clan's family garden remains as quiet and peaceful as ever.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the verdant courtyard, casting long shadows of the eaves and corridors.

In a corner of the courtyard, Hinata Natsumi was patiently and gently caring for the young Hanabi...

They carefully straightened her clothes, and soft laughter occasionally drifted between them.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the courtyard, Hinata was practicing Gentle Fist with all her might.

Although the small fists kept swinging out, each punch seemed soft and weak, without any discernible pattern, clearly failing to meet the standard expected by the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.

Hiashi Hyuga stood in the shadows of the courtyard, his eyes seemingly focused on Hinata's practice, but his thoughts had already drifted far away, clearly not truly paying attention to his daughter's training.

That day, Uchiha Gen displayed the terrifying ability of the Sharingan to transform Yin and Yang, a memory that remains vivid to this day, instilling in Hiashi an indescribable sense of crisis within him.

He had a vague feeling that the future of the ninja world would probably be more dangerous than he imagined.

Then, he instinctively thought of the branch of his main family on the moon, a branch of the family that possessed even more ancient and mysterious powers.

Unfortunately, since they were informed of the crisis in the ninja world, that faction has not responded, as if it has completely severed its connection with the ninja world.

In fact, Rizu's understanding of his relatives on the moon is quite limited.

Information is also extremely scarce...:

However, as the destruction of the ninja world draws ever closer, Konoha's internal strife intensifies...

Hiashi Hyuga, who was watching from the sidelines, had long noticed that the infighting within the Hokage faction was even more intense than usual.

The incident involving Tobirama and Orochimaru reveals a dark secret and conspiracy.

The harmless Third Hokage...:

They're truly ruthless and cruel.

Therefore, the Hyuga clan also needs to consider other options...

What exactly happened on the moon...?

Hiashi muttered to himself, his expression growing increasingly solemn and worried.

Just as he was lost in thought, Hinata's small fist slammed weakly against the training target again, making a soft "thud."

The sound brought Hiashi back to reality for a moment. He glanced at his daughter with a hint of helplessness, sighed softly, and a trace of undisguised disappointment appeared on his face.

On the other side, in the branch family residence, Hyuga Natsu had just finished taking care of Hanabi and slowly returned to the branch family's training ground with light and steady steps. Neji was practicing Gentle Fist on the back, sweating profusely. His punches were sharp and steady, and each punch was full of power and speed, far surpassing Hinata's performance in the main family.

Neji was so focused on his training that it took him quite some time before he noticed Hyuga Natsu standing behind him.

He paused briefly, turned around to look at her, and his eyes flickered with a hint of surprise and confusion:

"Sister Xia...you're here?"

Hinata Natsumi responded with a faint "Mm".

After exchanging a brief greeting, Neji once again focused intently on his training.

Each punch felt like a challenge to himself. Hyuga Natsu stood quietly to the side, her gaze fixed intently on Neji's back, a complex and subtle emotion welling up inside her.

Finally, she broke the silence softly: "Neji, you really tried your best..."

Neji paused slightly upon hearing this, turning back to look at her with a puzzled expression: "Sister Xia?"

Hyuga Natsu did not avoid Neji's gaze, but spoke calmly and earnestly.

"I watched Hinata's Gentle Fist training when I was at the main residence today. To be honest, her Gentle Fist is completely inferior to yours now."

Neji was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head bitterly and said in a low and cold tone.

"Sister Xia, what's the point of saying all this? After all, I'm just someone who's separated from the family. No matter how hard I try, it's just a futile struggle..."

Hearing Neji's slightly self-deprecating words, Hyuga Natsu's heart trembled slightly, and a bittersweet and complex emotion welled up inside her.

She was silent for a moment, then finally spoke softly, "Effort... might bring unexpected changes."

Neji paused slightly, then looked up at her: "Sister Xia, what do you mean by this?"

Hinata Natsu also showed a hint of something was wrong upon hearing this.

Why do I keep saying such strange things?

After a long silence, Neji spoke up: "Natsu-neechan...so, what aspects of my Gentle Fist technique do you think need improvement?"

Hearing Neji finally bring up the question, Hyuga Natsu suddenly chuckled softly.

"While I was watching you practice Soft Fist, a lot of thoughts did come to mind..."

"Neji, your Gentle Fist is strong now, but it is too bound by tradition and lacks real variation and flexibility."

Neji listened attentively to her words: "Then... how should I change?"

Hinata Natsumi pondered for a moment, then patiently said, "Actually, the true essence of Gentle Fist is not just about attacking the enemy's pressure points and meridians."

"Instead, it is through the flexibility and precise control of chakra that one guides the opponent's attack rhythm and then uses that to launch a counterattack."

"Perhaps you could try to incorporate more of your own unique techniques, truly internalizing the moves of Soft Fist into your own instincts, instead of just following the rigid routines of your family."

Hinata Natsu felt a surge of inexplicable excitement and relief. Gazing into Neji's focused and determined gaze, she suddenly had many bold ideas that she had never had before.

Although she was already destined not to embark on this path that would change her fate, she truly believed...

Neji might be able to forge a different path from the other branch families.

team leader...

This is the path you taught us in the past...

From now on, I will also forge my own path.

The two stood quietly in the courtyard of their separate households. In the instant their glares met, it was as if they instantly communicated the deepest hopes and obsessions in each other's hearts.

That was their brilliance, a silent resonance, fleeting yet leaving a deep imprint on each other's hearts.

Neither of them noticed that their caged bird had undergone a special chakra transformation, which was imprinted in their minds.

Then, that chakra energy quietly disappeared...
