Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
The Necessary Crime
"If Amatsukami can help me save my youngest son Sasuke, I'm willing to pay the appropriate wages."
“Uchiha Sasuke was taken away by the Akatsuki Organization, right? Whether he dies or lives at this time is unknown, and even if he is still alive, we may not be able to do anything to save the boy.” Homusubi refused Fugaku's commission without hesitation.
If there was a chance, Kuroto would naturally go to save Neji and Sasuke, but he did not want to take any reckless actions, either, because taking reckless actions would not only endanger the lives of the two children but also his own life. Therefore, Homusubi did not receive the Fugaku commission.
Why did Homusubi receive the Hokage Sandaime commission?
Well, since Sandaime Hokage's duties also included saving Naruto and Hinata from Orochimaru's hands, that was a much easier task than saving Sasuke and Neji from the hands of the Akatsuki Organization.
Fugaku's expression changed, he didn't expect that Homusubi would instantly refuse even without a second thought, so after a moment of thought, he said again, “I have information that will definitely interest you. If Amatsukami is willing to help me save my son, I am willing to share this valuable information with you.”
Homusubi frowned, "What information?" he could not think of what kind of information was so valuable that it would tempt even Amatsukami to help Fugaku.
"The new headquarters position of the Akatsuki Organization." Said Fugaku while looking at Homusubi with a calm expression. Fugaku's eyes showed his belief that Homusubi would definitely be interested in this information.
After understanding that Fugaku was talking about the location of the new headquarters of the Akatsuki Organization, Homusubi gave him a deep look, and thought, 'It seems that I underestimated him.'
What was really going on in Fugaku's mind at the moment, more or less Homusubi could guess.
Fugaku obviously wanted to use the location of the Akatsuki Organization's new headquarters as bait to get Amatsukami to launch an attack on them. By doing so, he will not only get the chance to save his younger children, Sasuke, but he will also force Uchiha Shinichi to rebel against the Akatsuki Organization and return to the Clan, he said, thus increasing the power of the Uchiha Clan. So, the manager is arguably killing two birds, no, three birds with one stone, because in addition to saving Sasuke, and forcing Shinichi to retreat, he also managed to use the Amatsukami Organization for his benefits which until now has not been able to do.
It could be said that Fugaku's plan was very good, and this explained his confidence as to why he thought Homusubi would not be able to resist, but unfortunately there was still something that Fugaku had never calculated.
What Fugaku might never consider is that it was Shisui who stood beside him, and Itachi, the most trusted child was a member of Amatsukami, so, so, the so-called secret information he wanted to use as bait was something Homusubi had been aware of for a few days now.
Therefore, Fugaku's plan couldn't succeed in the first place.
Seeing that Homusubi did not immediately reply, Fugaku thought that he planned to walk perfectly and added, “The information I have in my hands is absolutely correct, The Uchiha clan is willing to cooperate with Amatsukami and act together. . By combining our power, it will be easy to destroy the Akatsuki Organization.”
Seeing Fugaku's serious expression, Tsukihi inevitably thought, 'You overestimated yourself and underestimated the others.' then shook her head to refuse, "My answer is still the same."
My fugue did not expect Homusubi to refuse again, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"For the reason, I've already told your Sandaime Hokage, if you want to know the reason, just ask him yourself .." said Homusubi, then start leaving ... As he arrived next to Fugaku, he whispered softly, "Help me too and keep the fact that Uchiha Tsukihi is still alive.. Otherwise, meteorites will start raining down on the skies of the Uchiha Clan.”.
"Is that a threat?" Fugaku asked with narrowed eyes.
"You are free to believe whatever you want ... I'm just telling you what will happen if you do what I don't want you to do." Homusubi said, then added, "Alright then, Patriarch Uchiha-sama... I'll go now see you next time..."
Leaving behind this sentence, Homusubi nonchalantly passed through Fugaku and Shisui and continued walking towards the exit of Konoha Village, but alas before he could leave in a cold manner, another acquaintance stopped him... and the person who appeared in front of him this time was none other than Hyuga Hizashi.
…
Above the Watchtower
Asuma saw the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan personally contacting Homusubi from Amatsukami, and complained in a displeased tone, "The main Shinobi Clan is also trying to engage in a private little trick."
In present-day Konoha, many unpleasant rumors are circulating about Sandaime Hokage in the inner political circles, and this makes Asuma feel very uncomfortable. He might not have any definitive proof or proof, Asuma could sharply sense that the undercurrents were surging in the village, and this undercurrent might be very unfavorable to Sandaime Hokage.
Kakashi, who was still half covered in bandages, sighed at the state of the village and said with a serious expression, “Hyuga Clan heir, son of the branch head of the Hyuga Clan, said, and the two sons of the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan were kidnapped in the chaos that night. I understood that the Village was also trying to save them, so they had no reason to contact Amatsukami in such a way, but parents could never stop worrying about their child, she said, and the more help they get, the higher the chances of saving their children, that might be the reason they contact Amatsukami.”
Asuma sighed, "I hope as you say."
Then glanced at Kurenai from the corner of his eyes only to find an inexplicable expression covering his face as he looked at Homusubi. It seemed like he also wanted to go and talk to Homusubi about something but hesitated.
Kurenai looked at Asuma with a pouting expression, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I. I just..." Stared at by Kurenai, Asuma was perplexed.
Understanding that if the two were allowed to continue like this, the tension between them would definitely increase, so Kakashi had no choice but to intervene and help Asuma, “Kurenai, what Asuma said made no sense at all. An organization as mysterious and powerful as Amatsukami must have its own goals and objectives. Until now, we only knew the frightening purpose of the Akatsuki Organization, but we did not know what Amatsukami's purpose and goals were... So, we should not be off guard against them, because for all we know, making our vigilance against them might just be the beginning of the goal of Amatsukami.”
After listening to Kakashi's reasoning, Kurenai lowered his head and fell silent.
Seeing the Besinya hot, Asuma decided to attack, “I know Fujin from Amatsukami saved you from Orochimaru, but Fujin is also a member of Amatsukami, not Shinobi Konoha. So we better keep our distance from them because we never know when Amatsukami will become our enemy.”
Kurenai remained silent and chose not to argue with Kakashi and Asuma, instead he looked towards the not far away Homusubi with a serious expression.
As Kunoichi Konoha, Kurenai understood that Kakashi and Asuma were indeed right, they never knew when Amatsukami who had been helping them would become their enemy. And in general, Kurenai's vigilance toward strangers was no worse than anyone else's... he was not the type of person who would desperately try to avenge a stranger or fall in love with him just because the stranger happened to have saved his life.
The reason why she fell in love with him––after the incident a few nights ago Kurenai has accepted her feelings and the fact that she loves Fujin–– is not just because Fujin desperately tried to protect her from Orochimaru despite everything the wounds he received in the process, but also because he had seen his appearance, and knew that Fujin was not a stranger, he was a Hyuga and was supposed to be Konoha's Shinobi before leaving the village.
Kurenai was more convinced by his guess after witnessing Fujin's actions desperately protecting the village from the Akatsuki Organization. He felt deep down, Fujin must still love the village, otherwise he would never have gotten himself seriously injured and almost killed just for the sake of a task.
Why exactly did Fujin leave the village? Kurenai was unsure and could not figure it out yet. However after understanding the inner problems of the Hyuga Clan, he felt that there must be some unspeakable hardships that prompted him to leave the village.
But just because he left the village doesn't mean he hates the village, nor does it mean he is the enemy of the village or will never return, right?
'Maybe someday..the current is all over.' he thought as he continued to look at Homusubi in the distance.
…
The Homusubi Side.
Homusubi let out a pitiful sigh while looking at Hyuga Hizashi's missing back.
This time, Hyuga Hizashi came to meet Homusubi as the representative of the Hyuga Clan. The goal was clearly very clear, to entrust the commission to Amatsukami in connection with the rescue of the Heir of the Hyuga Clan designed by Orochimaru.
As mentioned earlier, saving children protected by Orochimaru was much easier, compared to saving children protected by the Akatsuki Organization, so Homusubi had no trouble accepting the commission.
Moreover, based on his knowledge and understanding of Orochimaru, the, Homusubi knew that Hinata would not be in too great a danger because Orochimaru had long lost his interest in the Byakugan because he thought the Byakugan was worthless or interesting enough when compared to the Byakugan. Sharingan.
In fact, it was not just Orochimaru, even if it was a common opinion in Konoha Village or any other world Shinobi opinion, they did not consider the Byakugan more useful than the Jutsu Sensor. With the repeated emergence of Mangekyou Sharingan users, and the rise of Rinnegan the fabled eye of Rikudo Sennin, Byakugan's evaluation falls to the bottom. The Hyuga Clan, who was expelled could not keep up with the Uchiha Clan in the past now could not match the Uchiha Clan.
But this was not the reason why Homusubi sighed out of compassion, the reason he did so was because he felt sorry for Hyuga Hizashi. He could clearly sense that when Hyuga Hizashi came to entrust the commission with saving Hinata, he wanted to offer a commission to save the children as well, he failed to speak that part and came back without mentioning anything about it.
Thinking of the inner torment that Hizashi's heart must feel at this moment because it was not even able to do anything to save his beloved son, Homusubi could only sigh in pity.
This was how the Hyuga Clan worked, and that was the fate of the members of the Hyuga Clan's branch division. The protection and safety of the main family is their top priority, between Hinata and her son, the safety of Hinata is the main one, there is no other choice, no matter how much she hurts her own child, she said, he had to do everything first to ensure it. the safety of the main family member, and for this, even if he was forced to hand it over, then he had to do it, he had no say in the matter.
Such reality was cursed, and even if it was Kuroto, he really wanted to change this damned situation.
But Kuroto also understood that this time was not the right time to move to change the situation of the Hyuga Clan. Moreover, for most of the Hyuga Clan, the Bird Cage Juinjutsu was more of a protection than a prison.
After all, the Hyuga Clan was different from the Uchiha Clan, in the Hyuga Clan, everyone was born with a Byakugan, but not everyone had the qualifications to become a qualified shinobi, either, not everyone wants to be a shinobi. There are many people who just want to live in peace.
In such a scenario, if there were no Birdcage Juinjutsu, the weak and ordinary people of the Hyuga Clan would never be able to rest in peace, either, because the threat of eye-hunters will always loom over their heads.
So, the Juinjutsu Bird Cage had become a kind of necessary evil for the Hyuga Clan, the Hyuga Clan did not want it, but they needed it for their own safety.
