Start With Thunder Fruit And Create A Full-Blown Ability User

Liu Yu is not afraid of trouble.

But he was afraid that it would affect the development of the organization.

Whether it's Tsunade, Scorpion, Orochimaru or Shiro, it hasn't been long since eating the Devil Fruit, and the fruit's abilities haven't been fully developed yet.

As Nagato said, what Akatsuki needs now is time to develop.

In a few years, Deidara and Itachi will join the organization, and Konan, Hyuga Hizashi, and Inui Kaki will also be able to break through to Kage-level.

At that time, Akatsuki can be said to have a strong army and a strong horse.

"I'm not asking you to destroy Konoha now, what are you afraid of?"

Even though Konoha's strength has declined, there is still the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu is a perfect match for Orochimaru, who is afraid of genjutsu and has weak resistance.

"That's good, I thought..."

"What do you think? You think I will let you destroy Konoha alone now? Look at your future, you are just a Konoha." Liu Yu+ glared at Orochimaru.

"Jun Liu Yu was joking."

Although this is what he thinks in his heart, he will definitely not say it out loud.

"I know what you are worried about, don't worry!"

"I won't embarrass you, I will just let you return to Konoha and appear in front of Sarutobi Asuma."

The corners of Liu Yu's mouth raised.

Since Konoha cannot be destroyed now, let's take action on Sarutobi Asuma first and collect the interest from them for bullying Kurenai.

"It's that simple?"

Orochimaru looked at Liu Yu in surprise.

He thought Liu Yu would just let him destroy Konoha Village!

"It's that simple, I won't embarrass you!"

"Orochimaru, you don't even have the courage to do this, do you?"

Liu Yu glanced sideways at Orochimaru.

"No problem at all."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said excitedly.

I haven’t been back for a long time!

He was happy to see Sarutobi-sensei deflated.

Konoha Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on a chair, staring at the people in front of him with a solemn expression.

"Anbu has found out clearly that Yuhi Kurenai has left the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"What?!"

"Yuhi Hong has defected?"

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable, Hiruzen, don't stop me, I will send Gen to capture her right now."

Danzo jumped out immediately and said angrily.

"The one who took him away was Liu Yu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said expressionlessly.

"Well!"

Danzo was stunned.

He knew Liu Yu's strength very well.

Not to mention the ninjas sent out by Gen, even if all the ninjas in Konoha were tied up, they might not be able to do anything to each other.

Danzo snorted and sat back, but his face was gloomy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was lost in thought.

He never thought that Yuri Hong would defect.

"The village is getting worse and worse."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead and said.

Konoha is now in a state of internal and external troubles.

"Hiruzen, what should we do?"

Mitokado Homura asked in a low voice.

“Currently, what we need to do is, first of all, to restore our strength, and the second thing is to resolve Uchiha’s matter as soon as possible.

"For the sake of the stability of the village, my idea for Yuhi Kurenai is not to characterize her as a rebellious nin."

"Let her leave the village temporarily, just like Tsunade. What do you think?"

"Wouldn't that be too cheap for her?"

Danzo gritted his teeth.

"Then do you have any good insights? You might as well tell me and let everyone listen." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced around and said.

"snort!"

Danzo snorted coldly and said nothing more.

"Then let's do this. I hope Yuhi Hong can understand that this is the village's good for her, and she should understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

He knew that such an arrangement would surely cause some backlash.

But he couldn't take care of that much anymore.

Uchiha is becoming more and more restless. Who knows which day a coup will be launched?

Rather than wait until that day and be caught off guard by Uchiha, it is better to plan ahead to avoid a coup.

"Old man, Lord Hokage!"

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

A young man wearing a blue ninja costume hurriedly ran in. Seeing so many senior officials here, he was shocked and quickly changed his mind.

He never expected that so many high-level officials would gather in the Hokage office.

“What does the frizzy hair look like??”

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a frown.

Since Shinnosuke's death, he has been cultivating Sarutobi Asuma as his future heir.

Because of Shinnosuke, his impression of Sarutobi Asuma has always been mixed.

Compared to the excellent Shinnosuke, Sarutobi Asuma, who has been rebellious since childhood, is indeed inferior.

But since Yuhi Hong followed Liu Yu, Asuma has become much more mature.

Especially recently, it looks like it is about to be reborn, which makes Sarutobi Hiruzen helpless but also a little happy.

"Forgive me, Lord Hokage, but I have urgent news."

Asuma hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

You came here to report to him so late. Could it be that something happened?

"Tell me."

"When I went back to rest tonight, I found two ninja snakes sneaking into my room.

Asuma said seriously.

"Two ninja snakes sneaked into your room and sneaked away?"

"Is it Anko?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Asuma with a strange expression.

In the entire Konoha, except for Anko and Orochimaru, who has defected, there is really no ninja whose Summoning beast is a snake.

"That's what I thought at first."

Asuma swallowed.

It seemed that he had thought of some horrific scene.

"But they're not sneaking into my house."

"Then what happened?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen wondered.

"When I fell asleep, they got into the bed..."

"Ahem~"

Danzo almost choked on his own saliva.

He never expected that such a strange thing would happen to Sarutobi Hiruzen's son.

"And after that?"

"They seemed to be interested in my blood. After drinking it, they left."

"Um."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly when he heard this.

"You mean, they sucked your blood?"

Danzo suddenly interjected.

"That's right, when I tried to catch them, they just slipped away."

"When I chased him and came to a corner, I saw Orochimaru.

Speaking of this, Asuma broke into cold sweat on his forehead.

If he hadn't been clever and used ninjutsu in time to create noise and attract the Uchiha guards patrolling nearby, he would probably have turned into a corpse by now.

"You mean, Orochimaru is back?"

Danzo asked with a livid face.

"I can't believe it either, but his appearance and the ninjutsu he uses are exactly the same as Orochimaru, so..." Asuma said with a bitter smile.

"Haha! I didn't expect Orochimaru to be alive, don't you think so, Hiruzen?" Danzo said sarcastically.

It's not that Sarutobi Hiruzen was soft-hearted and deliberately let Orochimaru go, thinking of their teacher-student relationship.

Let them Konoha Village now has another problem.

"Shut up!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Danzo.

Danzo snorted and turned his head away, saying nothing.

"I will pay attention to Orochimaru's matter. Asuma, please go down first." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand slowly.

"Yes! Lord Hokage."

Asuma was about to leave the office. When he stepped out of the door, his body suddenly stiffened and stopped in place.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him in surprise.

"Plop!"

Asuma's still tall figure suddenly fell to the ground without warning.

"Asuma!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed and rushed to his side.

"what happened?"

Danzo was equally surprised.

You were fine just now, why did you suddenly collapse?

Could it be that Orochimaru's snake sucked him so much that Asuma fainted?

Danzo thought with a chill.

He absolutely believed in this possibility. After all, Orochimaru's quirks were something that even he couldn't stand sometimes.

"Call the medical ninja!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said urgently.

Soon, several medical ninjas arrived.

He checked Asuma and then shook his head.

"Hokage-sama...Ah...Asuma, dead, dead."

One of the leading medical ninjas said tremblingly.

"What did you say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly, clenching his fists.

"Hokage-sama, Asuma is dead."

The medical ninja repeated it with difficulty.

"Can you say that again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed the anger in his heart.

“Asuma...is dead.

The medical ninja swallowed.

"Bang!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped the table hard.

"Orochimaru!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen roared with tears in his eyes.

He never thought that Asuma Guanran would die at this time.

It looks like he died from Orochimaru's ninjutsu.

"Lord Hokage, please have your condolences."

Danzo said angrily.

"!!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Danzo and shouted with murderous intent.

Danzo was shocked, his face changed for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything and retreated silently.

I will kill you, Orochimaru, for sure!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were scarlet.

"Hiruzen, no matter what happens, as a Hokage, you must stay rational and put the overall situation first." Koharu advised Koharu.

"I...I know."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath to calm down.

Although angry, he has not lost his mind.

"Hiruzen, is there something strange about the cause of Asuma's death, or is it related to Orochimaru?" Mitokado Homura said after pondering for a moment.

He always felt that this matter was not simple.

"I hope so too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and sighed.

But he also knew that the possibility of having nothing to do with Orochimaru was almost slim.

Basically one hundred percent related to Orochimaru.

Otherwise, how could Asuma, a good person with Elite Jōnin strength, die inexplicably.

…please give me flowers…………

It's just that Orochimaru's ability to hide is extremely strong. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to expose himself, there will be no traces at all.

"Let's deal with Asuma's funeral first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said after regaining his composure.

"Well, we have to attend Asuma's funeral in person." Mitokado Homura said.

"I'll go make arrangements."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

Soon, in the village

A brief funeral was held there, and Asuma was officially laid to rest.

"Orochimaru, I will never forgive you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted through gritted teeth.

"Jun Liu Yu, you really hurt me.

In a dark and damp cave, Orochimaru complained.

"Who asked Konoha to commit suicide? This time it can only be regarded as a little interest recovered, but don't worry, I will compensate you. When a suitable Devil Fruit is available, I will definitely leave it to you to research.

Liu Yu said nonchalantly while chewing the apple.

"Haha, then I'm looking forward to Liu Yu-kun's Devil Fruit." Orochimaru laughed.

The two chatted about other things, and Orochimaru said goodbye and left, returning to the laboratory to continue his research.

On the other side, after Asuma's funeral, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned all the top brass in Konoha.

During this time, Konoha Village was in turmoil, and Orochimaru was hiding in the dark and preparing to make a move.

They need to take defensive measures as early as possible to avoid being taken advantage of by Uchiha.

This meeting was very long and lasted a whole day.

The final decision was to send elite troops into the periphery of Konoha to tightly defend and ensure the safety of Konoha Village.

When the final decision was finalized, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and left first.

The heads of the major families also left one after another and went to their respective posts, and preparations had begun.

At the same time, the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Hizashi Caged Bird's mark was also lifted.

“The mark of Caged Bird is really gone???”

Hyuga Hizashi looked in the mirror and looked at his smooth forehead from left to right.

incredible!

After his mark disappeared, he felt that his entire restraint was broken, and even his body became much more relaxed.

"Ha~"

Hyuga Hizashi opened his Byakugan, and from a 360-degree perspective, there was a blind spot that spread out from a small point directly behind the first thoracic vertebra, and it completely disappeared.

Now there is no difference between him and the Hyuga family.

"Congratulations! Hizashi, you have lifted the family's Caged Bird.

Hiashi wiped the sweat from releasing Caged Bird, walked over with a smile and said.

Hizashi was originally the most promising member of the Hyuga clan.

He works harder and is better than the patriarch of his family.

Unfortunately, the constraints of his branch house status prevented him from taking a step beyond his reach, and his strength eventually stopped at Elite Jōnin.

Unlocking the Caged Bird's mark now is like a real dragon swimming into the sea and soaring into the sky.

Just after releasing Caged Bird, Hiashi could feel a suffocating power from Hyuga Hizashi, dormant like a ferocious beast.

I'm afraid that Hyuga Hizashi will really turn into a soaring eagle.

"Thank you, chief."

Hyuga Hizashi bowed slightly and thanked him.

"That's so foreign! What do you and my brother call the clan leader? We call him eldest brother." Hyuga Hiashi said with a slight smile.

"Brother."

Hearing Hiashi's words, Hyuga Hizashi felt a surge of warmth in his heart and directly changed his name to eldest brother.

Brother, this is the title.

Hyuga Hizashi also stopped barking for a long time.

Once upon a time, the two brothers had a great relationship [until they were later planted with Caged Bird.

He became the branch house, Hiashi became the patriarch, and the relationship between the two gradually faded.

Not only that, the conflict between Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi has become increasingly acute, and Hizashi is even unwilling to call Hiashi eldest brother anymore.

Today I call Hiashi my eldest brother again, and the close feeling of brotherhood between the two when they were young is back again.

"well!"

Hiashi smiled happily.

He reached out and patted Hyuga Hizashi on the shoulder.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Hizashi, you should know what it means for you to lift Caged Bird's mark this time." Hiashi said in a serious tone.

"I understand, brother!"

"From now on, I will never appear again, either in the family or in the village." Hyuga Hizashi solemnly showed.

He knew clearly that feigning death itself was the right betrayal.

Removing the mark of Caged Bird means that even now Konoha is no longer afraid of Cloud Shinobi who is too busy to take care of himself.

When he returned to the village, the village's senior officials couldn't say much.

After all, they were the ones who pulled the Hyuga clan out to be the scapegoats in the first place, even if they learned that the Hyuga clan had changed their lives.

They have no place to blame.

But Hyuga Hizashi's solution to Caged Bird will definitely arouse the anger of Ultimate, the clan boss.

Even though Hiashi is the clan leader, he can't stop those old stubborns.

After all, the branch house has been planted with Caged Bird for thousands of years, which is an ironclad family rule.

Even if Hyuga Hizashi is the clan leader's younger brother, he cannot violate it.

"Hizashi has wronged you."

Hyuga Hiashi said carefully. .
