Chapter 46: A Descendant of Kaguya Dares to Dance Before Me?
"Captain, Makoto, why did you two go to burn incense before we set off?"
On the way to the Land of Rice Fields, Yamato looked at Kakashi and Hyuga Makoto ahead with a face full of curiosity.
Even Uchiha Itachi, who had been preoccupied and silent, raised his head to take a look.
"Hokage-sama asked us to go."
Kakashi replied casually with his dead-fish eyes, while Hyuga Makoto sighed beside him.
"Yeah, after all, Captain Kakashi is a bit unlucky. Counting this time, it's the third time he's about to encounter Orochimaru."
"..."
Kakashi's dead-fish eyes rolled even harder, but before he could say anything, Yamato subconsciously nodded.
"That's true. Recently, whenever the Captain takes us out, we always run into these dangerous guys."
"Right? So burning a stick of incense was the right call."
Hyuga Makoto immediately followed up, and even Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but speak up.
"It does seem that way..."
"You bastards..."
The actions of these three almost made Kakashi laugh out of anger.
Although he admitted he had been a bit unlucky in the past, wasn't the reason for his current misfortune actually Hyuga Makoto?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but glance at Hyuga Makoto.
Admittedly, things were still unlucky now, but it seemed as if the past curse had vanished from him.
And the most important reason seemed to be Hyuga Makoto...
"Alright, enough of that."
Kakashi shook his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.
"Pay attention to our surroundings. Also, we need to speed up. Jiraiya-sama set out ahead of us; we shouldn't miss him."
"Yes."
Yamato and Uchiha Itachi responded immediately, and Hyuga Makoto nodded along.
However, in his heart, he was thinking about Jiraiya, that 'Super Pervy Sage'.
He had seen that old geezer Jiraiya when he was a child, although it was through the Byakugan...
He was actually quite happy to finally be meeting the man. After all, he had spent double the price to buy that guy's books!
"One way or another, you'll have to pay me back for that..."
Besides Jiraiya, the one he was more interested in was Uchiha Obito!
That guy's movements were extremely hidden, but it didn't matter because Hyuga Makoto could'see' him.
"He's probably doing it to observe Uchiha Itachi further and simultaneously pass information to Orochimaru and the others..."
Hyuga Makoto made a secret guess, but no matter what that guy's goal was, this was a great opportunity!
Hyuga Makoto was desperate to 'progress', and Uchiha Obito was his stepping stone to 'progress'.
"Especially since there's a new mission this time..."
[Acquired new side mission]
[There's a place for me in the Akatsuki Organization, I'm joining the Akatsuki!]
[A descendant of Kaguya dares to dance before me?]
Looking at the new mission, Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but purse his lips.
The missions were becoming increasingly extreme...
But even though they were a bit extreme, he didn't complain.
As the saying goes,'Shang Yang knows the horse's strength, Bi Gan sees the heart'; only the user knows if it's good or not...
"At least the rewards given aren't bad."
This time, the System's mission actively used the term 'Kaguya's descendant', which seemed to hint that he could stir up some real trouble!
Hyuga Makoto was indeed considering how far he should take this operation.
"Unsurprisingly, Black Zetsu is here. I don't even need to make up a reason to strike..."
And with Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru present, perhaps he could make them realize something different?
"The most critical one is still White Zetsu!"
Hyuga Makoto's eyes narrowed slightly. He had obtained the flesh Danzo injected with Senju Hashirama's cells, but he had maintained restraint.
Senju Hashirama was simply too ridiculous; even in death, his cells were extremely exaggerated.
Hyuga Makoto preferred to extract the power within rather than use them for some cloning experiment.
"But White Zetsu is produced through the Gedo Statue and has been 'refined' by Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu. They are more stable and useful, so..."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Hyuga Makoto's mouth. He had figured out what he wanted to do...
...
"Hmph, that brat from the Hyuga Clan is truly a nuisance."
Within the Land of Rice Fields, space surged for a moment.
The next moment, the figures of Uchiha Obito and Zetsu emerged.
Obito's face was displeased, and Black Zetsu beside him nodded seriously.
"The Byakugan's scouting effect is indeed annoying, but fortunately, we also know their purpose, don't we?"
But despite saying that, Black Zetsu's heart was full of disdain.
The Byakugan—that was his mother's power!
What kind of bullshit Byakugan did the current Hyuga Clan have?
Aside from retaining powerful scouting capabilities, it was truly worthless in other aspects!
But it was precisely because these so-called Hyuga Bloodlines had degenerated that he didn't need to worry about the Byakugan so much.
Disdain aside, when he recalled that brat Hyuga Makoto, he always felt a bit strange...
"Indeed, I didn't expect that guy Orochimaru to actually be discovered."
Obito didn't know what Black Zetsu was thinking; he stroked his chin and spoke coldly.
"But this is fine. It's a good chance to see how Uchiha Itachi's eyes are doing!"
During this period in Konoha, their harvest had been meager.
The information they got regarding the Mysterious Person was basically the same as what Orochimaru had.
The cause of Shisui's death hadn't been fully clarified yet, and because Uchiha Itachi had been in Konoha, they couldn't figure out his specific situation for the time being.
But now that they were moving, it gave Obito an opportunity to observe.
"I think we'd better be a little careful."
Black Zetsu snapped out of it and spoke after some thought.
"After Orochimaru and Sasori were attacked by that Mysterious Person, their current state isn't good enough. Moreover, Konoha summoned Jiraiya, so..."
"Jiraiya is indeed a problem."
Obito nodded. He didn't care about that trash Kakashi.
But Jiraiya was, after all, one of the Sannin; his inclusion would change the situation.
He was also worried that Orochimaru wouldn't provide enough pressure, which would prevent him from understanding Uchiha Itachi's true situation.
Of course, he also didn't want Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi to die here...
After thinking carefully, he made a decision.
"In that case, let Biwa Jūzō come as reinforcement. If it really comes down to it, I will take action."
"Then I'll go inform him right away."
Black Zetsu nodded; how could he not guess Obito's meaning?
Although he felt somewhat disdainful, he was still very cooperative.
"Hey, it's really strange."
Just as Black Zetsu sank into the ground, White Zetsu, who had been quiet, couldn't help himself.
"Why only call Biwa Jūzō? Wouldn't it be easier to have Kakuzu and Pain come together?"
"He probably doesn't want Kakashi and the others to die here yet."
Black Zetsu replied flatly with a shake of his head, which made White Zetsu stroke his chin.
"I see. I remember when he was unconscious, he called out Kakashi's name many times."
"..."
Black Zetsu glared at White Zetsu. This guy always focused on the most random things.
"Instead of thinking about that, you'd better think more about how to find information on that Mysterious Person. This trip to Konoha was truly fruitless!"
"Eh? Haven't I already followed your request and mobilized all the Clones to act behind Obito's back?"
White Zetsu blinked and asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, why do you value that guy so much?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Black Zetsu sighed. How could he not value him?
If his judgment was correct, that guy's level of terror was definitely beyond imagination!
No matter what, he had to grasp enough information so he could make all necessary preparations in advance...
"Oh."
White Zetsu nodded as if he half-understood, then asked with a grin.
"Also, why were you staring at that Byakugan freak earlier? Is there something wrong with him too?"
"Him..."
When it came to this question, even Black Zetsu fell silent.
Because inexplicably, he sensed a strange feeling of familiarity from Hyuga Makoto...
