Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki

Chapter 26 You bunch of bastards who steal the bloodline of the White Eye

tick tock...tick tock...

No matter which world you're in, the weather in early spring is always so unpredictable.

Just moments ago, Konoha Village was bathed in sunshine, but in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a completely different place.

The drizzle was fine and continuous, and the damp air, carrying the scent of earth and grass, rushed towards us.

And this gloomy, rainy night perfectly reflected the Grand Elder's mood at that moment.

The corridor is very quiet.

The only sounds were the rain and the almost frozen air between the two of them.

The elder sat on the edge of the corridor, his aged figure appearing even more hunched under the gray kimono.

Those cloudy white eyes stared fixedly at the willow tree in the courtyard, which was soaked by the rain.

Leaves and branches fell, landing in the mud.

"Qinglan, it's so late, I hope I didn't disturb your cultivation?"

The elder gazed at the drizzling rain under the night sky, his tone casual and indifferent.

"No... Elder, you can come whenever you want."

Hinata Seiran bowed respectfully from three steps away, his attitude both humble and courteous.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

I thought these old guys would observe for a few more days, but I didn't expect Danzo's recruitment to end so soon after.

Hinata Seiran lowered his head, quietly waiting for what was to come.

"Alright then..."

The elder's tone suddenly turned somber, and his words abruptly ended without any transition.

Do you know about the Tenseigan?

Those cloudy white eyes instantly locked onto Hyuga Seiran, as if trying to see right through him.

"The Tenseigan?"

Hinata Seiran blinked, a hint of confusion appearing in her pure white eyes.

"What kind of eyes are those?"

"A new bloodline limit?"

"....."

The elder remained silent for a moment, his gaze lingering on Hyuga Seiran for a instant before passing through the rain and landing on the open door.

Do you really not know?

Or is it... a disguise?

"Qinglan".

"exist."

"Can I...trust you?"

"Elder, I would never dare to conceal anything I know."

Hinata Seiran's expression was solemn, his eyes calm.

But inwardly, he shook his head.

Danzo has openly infiltrated the clan's territory to plant spies, yet these senior members of the main clan don't seem to be thinking about how to deal with Danzo, the 'murderer' who stole the scroll.

Instead, they interrogated him, a descendant of a branch family, and manipulated him with power here.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong...that really suits the Hyuga clan..."

Hinata Seiran chuckled inwardly.

Since that's the case, let's add another bit of firewood.

Let this fire burn completely.

With this thought in mind, his consciousness quietly drifted away.

"That's excellent..."

The elder nodded slowly, his tense face seeming to relax for a moment.

"Qinglan, I hope you won't mind my next suggestion."

"After all... this is all for the sake of the Hyuga clan..."

But just as those words were spoken!

An extremely chilling killing intent suddenly roared out from the darkness on one side of the corridor!

"This is?!"

The elder was shocked, his hair stood on end, and his pupils contracted sharply due to his years of ninja instincts.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Qinglan, only to see the boy in front of him suddenly pounce on him!

Even the guards who were keeping a close eye on the Grand Elder were stunned almost simultaneously.

"Qinglan wants to kill me?!"

Almost reflexively, the Grand Elder formed an unsealed hand seal with one hand.

At the same time, the White Eyes were activated, and the field of vision instantly transformed into a black-and-white perspective world.

In that instant, the Grand Elder finally saw the true source of the murderous intent.

A ball of energy radiating blinding golden light was hurtling toward his face at incredible speed!

Hinata Seiran lunged towards the energy ball, using his own body to shield himself from death.

"not good!"

"Qinglan is here to protect me!"

The thought struck like a bolt from the blue, but ultimately, the body couldn't keep up with the speed of regret.

It was formed before it was printed.

"Baguazhang - Return..."

The immense chakra within Hyuga Seiran's pressure points spun wildly, and a semi-transparent chakra shield rapidly formed around him.

But the moment it took shape, the chakra shield collapsed with a bang.

Boom—!

The golden energy ball suddenly exploded.

The shockwave from the explosion sent Hinata Seiran flying.

Bang!

His back slammed hard against the pillar, producing a low, muffled thud.

Blood spilled from the corner of Hinata Seiran's mouth, and his expression kept changing.

From surprise to disbelief, and finally to acceptance.

"Elder...so that's how it is..."

"You still... don't believe me..."

Those pure white eyes slowly closed.

Eventually, it fell silent.

The Grand Elder stood frozen by the broken doorway, staring at the junior whose defenses he had personally crippled in an attempt to protect him, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Qinglan...you..."

"What a breathtaking show!"

A voice suddenly rang out, carrying three parts mockery and seven parts ridicule.

The elder suddenly looked up, his heart pounding in his throat.

On the courtyard wall, a figure draped in a wide black robe sat quietly.

As the dense raindrops approached the dark figure, they seemed to hit an invisible semi-circular barrier, bouncing away silently, not a single drop managing to wet the jet-black robe.

The hood was pulled low, obscuring the entire face, with only a strange pale blue halo flickering in the depths of the shadows.

"The chakra that should connect everyone has been abused as weapons and shackles."

The man muttered to himself in a low, hoarse voice, revealing a deep-seated disgust.

"The Ninja Clan founded by Hagoromo... was indeed a mistake from the very beginning."

"No, it should be said that it was Kaguya's fault."

Kaguya?

Feathered robes?!

Ninja sect? !

As the words fell one after another, the Grand Elder's heart was immediately filled with turmoil.

He didn't know the name Kaguya, but he knew very well the Sage who founded the ninjas.

The legendary founder of Ninja Cult... was none other than the Sage of Six Paths...

But this person is related to the Sage of Six Paths?

No... the story of the Sage of Six Paths founding the Ninja Clan is widely known, perhaps it's just a coincidence...

Despite thinking this way, the Grand Elder still felt a slight sense of guilt deep down.

After all, they were able to infiltrate the tribe's territory undetected and launch a surprise attack...

This is the first one.

The Grand Elder forcefully suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, his white eyes bulging with energy, and he assumed a defensive stance, embracing the Soft Fist technique.

"Who are you?! How dare you trespass on Hyuga clan territory and injure my branch family's genius!"

"Are you also after that thief who's eyeing the one with the white eyes?!"

His roar echoed in the rainy night, completely pulling the thoughts of the branch family guards who had been silently standing by in the courtyard back to reality.

They reacted quickly and slipped behind the Grand Elder.

Those who are saving lives are saving lives, and those who are setting up formations are setting up formations.

"Hehehehe..."

On the courtyard wall, the dark figure chuckled softly.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling calmness.

He didn't stop the ninjas below, he didn't even lift an eyelid, let alone take their precautions seriously.

Beneath the shadow of the hood, a pale blue halo rippled gently with the sound of laughter.

He looked down at the elders below, who seemed like ants.

"Since when has rolling your eyes become your domain?"

"And...shouldn't I be the one to use the word 'thief'?"

His voice suddenly turned cold, filled with inherent arrogance and contempt.

"You bunch of bastards who steal scrolls..."
