Chapter 29: A Promising Future.
In the Konohagakure square, at this very moment, the vast space was filled with villagers who survived the Nine-Tails' chaos, fortunate ninjas, and representative figures from various clans.
They were all drawn to this commotion, stirred up by the Uchiha clan.
Despite the disaster, there were still many survivors in Konohagakure.
At this critical juncture, although there were many people, there was no need to maintain order.
Everyone quieted down, waiting for Uchiha Satoshi to speak.
Hyuga Hitoshi also let go of the two young girls and stood by Uchiha Satoshi's side, ready for action. Judging by Patriarch Hitoshi's fierce gaze, anyone who dared to make a move would be spotted immediately.
But what's really going on, only our Patriarch Hitoshi knows.
Protect Uchiha Satoshi?
There's no need for that.
If the old village chief and Danzo had any sense, they'd know that killing Uchiha Satoshi would only have negative effects. It would do nothing but enrage the Uchiha clan and leave themselves unable to justify their actions.
But this is precisely the effect Hyuga Hitoshi desires.
Yes, the attack on Uchiha Satoshi was ordered by Hyuga Hitoshi!
His own henchmen are quite capable, and the fake Root mask was not given in vain.
Even if Yuuhi Shinku were to pursue, it would lead to nothing.
He could only watch helplessly as the "Root ninja" entered the Root base, but he obviously didn't have the guts to investigate as the deputy head of Anbu.
As for standing by Uchiha Satoshi's side?
This is not just for show. More so, Patriarch Hitoshi is worried that Uchiha Satoshi might not express himself clearly and waste the opportunity. Haven't you noticed how intense Patriarch Hitoshi's gaze has become?
He's ready at any moment to let Uchiha Satoshi spout nonsense!
The plan has progressed to this point naturally, and Hyuga Hitoshi is quite satisfied with it.
"The Uchiha clan, who were begrudgingly ignored by Anbu surveillance and driven out of the center of Konohagakure in the original story, have now, under the efforts of this Patriarch, begun their charge against the Konohagakure higher-ups. Undoubtedly, this can be considered a major event."
"From this Patriarch's perspective, after the Nine-Tails' chaos, Konohagakure has become even more corrupt. Even with advantages on the battlefield, they dare not be arrogant, being closely pressed by Kumogakure Village. Therefore, it was the right time for this Patriarch to act."
The right time, the right place, Hyuga Hitoshi believes he has completed an extremely important event.
Looking at this incident, it will completely plan out the conflict between Konohagakure and the Uchiha, and the infuriated Third Hokage will surely target the Uchiha even more, and may even neglect the Hyuga clan.
This is the beginning of everything, of utmost importance.
"Hmm, the conclusion of this incident also represents the beginning of the final showdown between the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups. I estimate that when it's time to settle accounts, it should be enough to upgrade the golden finger, right?"
Since being reborn, successfully unlocking memories of his past life, and reactivating the golden finger, Hyuga Hitoshi has had a clear understanding.
His golden finger is not simple.
In his previous life, with its limited role, he was able to reach the human limits within the world view. Theoretically, he should be able to reach that height in this world as well.
"Even capable of breaking through the limits of the world view!"
It's quite possible that in the previous life, the 'golden finger' lacked enough energy, hence failing to transcend.
But this life is different, the shinobi world is a magical place.
Back then, he pondered over the 'golden finger' issue, and the state of 'enlightenment' allowed him to understand his 'golden finger' more deeply.
He had a premonition that this major event would have a significant impact on the world of Naruto, and the 'golden finger' would absorb even more power.
Hyuga Hitoshi isn't one for pretense. He knows that in the world of Naruto, even as a member of the Hyuga clan with Otsutsuki bloodline, without a fortuitous encounter, it's unlikely to awaken the Tenseigan.
So, he understood the importance of the 'golden finger' early on. Being reborn and traversing into an unfamiliar world, using cheats isn't shameful. Looking down on cheats, despising them, that's what's truly embarrassing.
The 'golden finger' is closely related to oneself. Those with real ability maximize their 'golden finger,' making themselves stronger.
Hyuga Hitoshi has lived a life with cheats, and he understands this principle well.
He looks forward to the limits of his future, even if he can't surpass the worldview of this world, it doesn't matter.
Because this world has gods.
The gods he speaks of aren't spiritual entities like Rikudou Sennin.
They are beings who have truly transcended dimensions, broken through dimensional barriers to other dimensions, reaching the level of gods, the Otsutsuki's play!
In short, the future is promising!
The 'golden finger' that is about to evolve, although it's a small step for Hyuga Hitoshi, represents a significant leap forward.
This is Hyuga Hitoshi's plan for himself, to use everything around him to the fullest extent, to enhance himself, to enhance the 'golden finger'!
As for the environment he disrupted, and the original storyline?
Well, he really doesn't care about those.
The more severe the collapse, the higher the limit he unlocks, right?
Alright.
Now, let everyone present feel the shock from a god's perspective.
"I know you all may not believe, but please hear me out," Uchiha Satoshi said gravely.
"What I'm about to say isn't unfounded. In fact, if the higher-ups trusted the Uchiha clan, the disaster really wouldn't have happened."
The climax is here.
The method to avoid the death of the Fourth and prevent the disaster.
People perked up their ears, waiting for his next words.
"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can control the Tailed Beasts, this is well-known to all."
Uchiha Satoshi looked around, his eyes revealing the Three Tomoe.
"The Nine-Tails' rampage was nothing more than a result of provocation or Genjutsu control, as everyone witnessed. At the start of the disaster, the Nine-Tails seemed irrational, only knowing destruction, but the real Tailed Beasts can communicate."
"Whether provoked or controlled, the Patriarch had already thought of a countermeasure at that time."
Uchiha Satoshi pointed to the equally grave Fugaku.
"The Patriarch ordered those in the clan who had awakened the Three Tomoe to gather. Together, we went to the battlefield, using the Uchiha clan's Genjutsu fusion technique. We were certain to regain control of the rampaging Nine-Tails and then wait for it to be sealed!"
"The men of our clan were also confident. Using our Genjutsu to override the Nine-Tails' commands, even if it meant our eyesight was exhausted to the point of blindness, we were willing to make that sacrifice!"
Uchiha Satoshi spoke with a proud defiance, as if he was ready to go through fire and water for Konohagakure.
Many pondered for a moment, then it dawned on them.
If the Uchiha had actually intervened, it seems the tragedy might not have happened, or at least the losses wouldn't have been as severe as they are now!
The Fourth Hokage and his wife really didn't have to die!
But in reality...
The villagers and the ninjas, they never saw the Uchiha clan on the frontlines.
Back then, they even believed that the Uchiha were secretly controlling the Nine-Tails!
If they truly wanted to help, why didn't they go?
Many were influenced by Uchiha Satoshi's words, their brows furrowed in confusion.
And the understanding Patriarch Hitoshi quickly spoke up to help, posing the question.
"Why didn't you go then?"
Brother Hitoshi's cooperation was perfect!
Patriarch Fugaku silently applauded, then chose to preempt Uchiha Satoshi's response.
Fugaku's face first showed surprise, then a hint of grievance, which quickly turned into anger.
He slapped his hand and pointed his chin at Danzo.
"I truly wanted to go, but Danzo-sama wouldn't allow it!"
