Chapter 157: The strongest kunoichi in the Shinobi World?

"Hello, Hinata." Natsuo smiled. "Long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a while..." Hinata's voice was very soft and low.

Then they fell into silence.

Natsuo scratched his head a bit. Although the people of Konoha regarded him as a womanizer, he felt a little uncomfortable when faced with a small and shy girl like Hinata. Even more so when he knew the intentions why Neji had brought her here.

She tried to find things to talk about to try to improve her self-confidence...

But basically, it was him asking a question and Hinata answering. This girl was too shy and couldn't speak fluently.

Hinata's personality in the Naruto Series may seem cute and obedient, but when you meet her in person, you realize how uncomfortable it is to interact with a person like that.

Natsuo also worried that he might accidentally say something inappropriate and scare Hinata. So after dealing with it for a while, he told Hinata to go to the training ground first.

Hinata nodded obediently, then turned her head and headed towards the training ground.

After turning her head, a hint of sadness flickered in her eyes, as she lamented in her mind. 'I'm so useless...'

After Hinata left, Natsuo felt much more relaxed.

He looked at Neji and asked: "How did you manage to bring Hinata over?"

"It was the clan leader who personally asked me to bring her." Neji smirked. "I hinted that we could get closer to the Uchiha clan if I brought Hinata to train in the Uchiha clan, and he willingly asked me to bring her. He even ordered Hinata to get closer to Sasuke."

Well, it is not surprising that there is a misunderstanding, and Hiashi's reaction is also understandable, although Hiashi deep down cares about Hinata, as the leader of the clan he also values practicality.

Hinata's talent is average, although compared to the other ninjas, she is not considered bad, but compared to Neji, one of the most talented of the Hyuga clan, it is not surprising that Hiashi is dissatisfied with Hinata.

It is not strange that he made this decision.

"Well, then teach Hinata well." Natsuo thought for a moment and said: "Maybe you can hint to Hinata about the existence of a method to free herself from the Caged Bird, maybe you can win her support."

Hinata is the eldest daughter. Although she has not been designated as the heir by Hiashi due to her talent issues, in the eyes of many traditional Hyuga elders, Hinata is the heir.

If he can gain the support of the main family's heir, it would be very convenient for Neji.

However, Neji frowned. "Hinting to her about the method to free herself from the Caged Bird is one thing, but will Hinata support it?"

"He will, Hinata and Hanabi have a good relationship." Natsuo smiled and said: "She wouldn't want to see her sister marked with the Caged Bird."

The reason why Hinata is considered to have insufficient talent and has been completely abandoned by Hiashi is because in a battle, she lost to Hanabi, who is six years younger than her.

However, the reason why Hinata lost is not because she couldn't defeat the little Hanabi, but because she couldn't bring herself to harm her younger sister and showed mercy!

The sisterly bond between the two may become a help for Neji. Upon hearing this, Neji's eyes drooped slightly.

"Hanabi... Does Natsuo-sama even know about Hanabi?"

Hanabi is still so young. She hasn't even started ninja school yet. She's about the same age as the oldest child of Natsuo. But Natsuo knows very well about the relationship between her and Hinata...

"Could it be that Natsuo not only has eyes for Hinata, but also for Hanabi?"

Neji's heart shook, and his eyes showed a look of shock. This is really beyond his expectations. But thinking about how Natsuo could be interested in Hinata, it's also normal for him to be interested in the younger Hanabi.

"Yes, Natsuo-sama." Neji nodded and secretly kept this matter in mind.

Neji now that he knows of the bond that Hinata and Hanabi share. He thought of bringing Hanabi here with the reason of 'since I'm teaching Hinata, I might as well teach Hanabi too', which seems easy enough to do.

If Natsuo really knew what Neji was thinking, he would probably be speechless. He admits that he is curious about Hinata and Hanabi, but it is because they appear as characters in the Boruto Series, in addition to the fact that both sisters have one of the purest bloodlines of the Hyuga clan. Well... He also can't deny that the greatest interest is because they become very beautiful in the future.

But being interested doesn't mean he wants to add them to his harem, much less right now when they're still little girls.

How old is Hanabi now? Hinata and Sasuke haven't even graduated yet. He wouldn't go so far as to torment such a young girl...

Not just Hinata.

Natsuo is not really interested in the group of girls who appear in the Naruto Series alongside Sasuke and Naruto.

Hinata, may be an exception as she is treated as a main female character and carries the burden of the Hyuga clan.

Although Sakura is not physically attractive, as the only woman who can keep up with the main group, her talent is at the level of a Kage. But without her, Sasuke may never find a partner...

Ino has an average talent, apart from being beautiful there is nothing remarkable in terms of lineage. As for Tenten... well she has a lot of money.

Anyway, Natsuo will just let things happen naturally, because by the time Hinata is older, he will possibly already be the strongest in the world...

But for now...

It is even more reliable to have offspring with the other women of the Hyuga clan.

"Neji, how is your prestige within the Hyuga clan now?" Natsuo thought for a moment and asked.

"It's alright. Being a genius of the Hyuga clan, the branch house respects me." Neji pondered for a moment and said: "But being a genius is just being a genius. There are still several ninjas whose strength surpasses mine."

"In terms of prestige, I still have some room for improvement."

Neji is too young. Although he is a twelve-year-old Jonin, he is already on the same level as Kakashi back then.

But even Kakashi, who advanced through strength and achievements, couldn't receive the normal treatment of a Jonin. He could only carry out missions with Minato instead of leading his own team.

Not to mention Neji. Everyone has high hopes for his future, but it's just hopes for his future. He still has a long way to go before reaching the level of 'leading the branch family to overthrow the main family'.

"Now there happens to be something that can conveniently enhance your prestige." Natsuo's mouth curled up. "And not only the branch house, even the main family will be grateful to you."

"Hmm?" Neji raised his head curiously.

This time, Natsuo's reputation soared. His legendary achievements directly made him the strongest ninja recognized in the entire ninja world. He is young, and everyone even believes that he may surpass Uchiha Madara.

Rumors have even spread about Natsuo's extreme obsession with his family.

Many kunoichi in Konoha suddenly put aside their reservations and wanted to marry into the Uchiha clan. This is the benefit of fame.

Originally, Natsuo was at most just an ordinary Jonin. Although he had the wealth of the Uchiha clan, there were many kunoichi in Konoha who despised him, even though they were tempted by his appearance.

They were envious of the treatment that the women of the Uchiha clan received. But their inner pride prevented them from accepting the idea of sharing a husband with other women.

They even made fun of the kunoichi who married Natsuo, since only ordinary women married men with multiple wives, they considered themselves independent and truly strong women.

However, as Natsuo's strength began to reveal itself, many kunoichi changed their minds. Which caused the Uchiha clan to continue raising its standards and explicitly stating that only Elite Jonin level kunoichi would be accepted, due to this countless kunoichi lost hope of joining the Uchiha clan.

Although the Ninja World seems to have elements of the modern world, in essence it is still a feudal world, so few women can hope to have a happy or love marriage. And now that Natsuo has proven to have great power, in addition to giving his wives absolute freedom and respect, many kunoichi strive and train, hoping to have a chance to marry into the Uchiha clan.

Furthermore, considering the current influence of the Uchiha clan, many of the clan leaders, have relaxed their restrictions on their female members. Even now they actively encourage them to marry into the Uchiha clan, hoping to benefit from the Uchiha's prosperity.

As a result, the Uchiha clan's 'highly paid mission to have children' has become popular once again.

However, due to Hyuga Hiashi's pride, in addition to Neji's relationship with Natsuo, as well as the factor that Sasuke may get close to Hinata, the Hyuga clan continues to restrict its female members from marrying outside the clan.

The leaders of the shinobi clans of Konoha sent many kunoichi to join the extended family of the Uchiha clan. After all, no one knows if Natsuo, who possesses the strongest combat power, will suddenly do something to Konoha.

Marrying Natsuo is a guarantee of family security.

However, besides Natsuo there is still one person in the ninja world who has also gained enormous prestige.

...Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei!

Previously, Terumi Mei 'blocked' Natsuo's advancement. Although initially everyone expressed their doubts and stated that Natsuo may have the same technique as Uchiha Madara but there must be a problem because he cannot be as strong as him. Except for Kirigakure, who believes that Terumi Mei is the strongest Mizukage, other ninja villages were disdainful of the fact that she managed to retain Natsuo.

But now, after Natsuo defeated Kumogakure, everyone changed their minds instantly.

"The strongest Mizukage!"

"The number one kunoichi in the Shinobi World!"

"Maybe in the future I can defeat Uchiha Natsuo!"

One after another, various honors were bestowed upon Terumi Mei. After all, she is a strong contender on par with Natsuo. Who would dare disrespect her?

In any case, Tsuchikage Onoki and Kumogakure, represented by Nii Yugito, sent representatives, in an attempt to keep Kirigakure in the war. Since they were counting on Terumi Mei to confront Uchiha Natsuo.

Not just the two of them, even Konoha gave great importance to this expert who is currently the only one in the Shinobi World who can stop Natsuo.

Although it was clear that Kirigakure's representatives were here to seek peace, the respect shown by Konoha made it seem like they were here to sign an equal ceasefire treaty.

Tsunade was also very wary of Terumi Mei's strength. She believed that Natsuo's power relied heavily on the support of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

But according to the records left by his Second Grandfather, the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan would eventually run out. On the other hand, Terumi Mei's ninjutsu depended solely on her chakra, which could be replenished.

Therefore, Tsunade did not dare to put too much pressure on Terumi Mei, fearing that Kirigakure would continue fighting in anger and then exhaust the power of Natsuo's Mangekyo Sharingan.

Both sides genuinely wanted a ceasefire, and their communication naturally became harmonious. Although there were no smiles or laughter at the negotiation table, the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed.

Until suddenly, Neji, with a cold expression, stood up and applied to join the negotiation. With just one sentence, the atmosphere became tense.

"Now that you admit defeat, shouldn't you return the Byakugan stolen from my Hyuga clan by Kirigakure?"
