When an Honest Person Starts Lying, That's When It's Truly Scary~!
"Too bad, there's no Sage Technique Inheritance."
Yamanaka Kei smacked his lips, seemingly unsatisfied, and casually released the Mind Transfer Clone Technique on Hozuki Fuyuki.
According to Hozuki Fuyuki's memories.
Although the number of the Clam Clan wasn't as large as Mount Myōboku or Ryūchi Cave.
It still exceeded most Summoning Beast clans.
The abilities of some of the clams were comparable to the dazzling Toads of Mount Myōboku.
Clams that could release special Mirage Gas to create Mirages and enhance Genjutsu; clams with ridiculously strong defense that could serve as shields; clams that could produce super-acidic substances to dissolve most objects; clams that could use Water Release...
Apart from not being able to speak, and needing to use Mirages produced by Mirage Gas for complex communication.
The only drawback was really the lack of Sage Technique Inheritance.
"You... you wait... wait, for our clan's... pursuit... We'll never let this rest!"
Hozuki Fuyuki painfully curled up in the corner.
The pain from the depths of his soul caused his body to convulse and tremble involuntarily.
His voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as if it were squeezed out from between his teeth.
"The Hozuki Clan, huh? Heh~ Your Mist Village isn't very peaceful lately."
Yamanaka Kei waved his hand dismissively.
The situation within Mist Village was a mess right now.
With the big boss Madara Uchiha controlling things from behind the scenes, the impact of the Bloody Mist Policy continued to expand.
The Militant Faction had gone collectively mad, and the Conservative Faction were all in constant fear.
The Hozuki Clan, which had considerable influence in Mist Village but had never clearly stated its position, was caught in the village's vortex and had no time to spare for other matters.
By the time the Third Shinobi World War started.
Even if the Hozuki Clan knew that he had obtained Gengetsu Hozuki's inheritance, they would prioritize dealing with the war under the village's pressure.
And after the Third War ended, Mist Village would directly begin implementing a series of measures targeting Kekkei Genkai Clans under the power shifts and further Bloody Mist Policy within the village.
The Hozuki Clan was destroyed even earlier than the Uchiha Clan!
Pursue him?
Who would come to pursue him?
Suigetsu Hozuki, the Only Seedling of the Hozuki Clan who was captured by Orochimaru to be a Test Subject and then raised as an Ornamental Fish?
Don't make things difficult for the kid, okay?
"You'll... you'll regret this..."
Whoosh
As soon as the words fell, Hozuki Fuyuki's entire body seemed to fall apart, turning into a puddle of water that scattered and disintegrated.
A large amount of Chakra began to dissipate into the surroundings.
In just a few seconds, all signs of life were completely lost.
Apparently, he used the Water Transformation Technique to completely decompose his own life force and commit suicide.
"I'm not Sarutobi Hiruzen, what's there to regret?"
Yamanaka Kei crossed his arms, never once attempting to stop Hozuki Fuyuki from killing himself.
Because from the very beginning, Hozuki Fuyuki's ending was already predetermined!
In the shinobi world, no ninja clan wants their clan's ninjas to be captured alive by foreign enemies.
Because that not only represents the leakage of village information, but also the foundation of the clan, secret techniques, and bloodlines are very likely to be leaked.
The current situation in the shinobi world is already tense.
Destroying the Summoning Island can still be explained as being in the Land of Sea's territory, and that Konoha only destroyed an inhumanely evil laboratory built by an unknown force.
Mist Village doesn't have much reason on this matter, even if they are annoyed, they can only swallow their teeth and blood.
If a Hozuki Clan Jonin is captured alive.
It would be fine if the higher-ups in Mist Village didn't know, but once they did, the Militant Faction would immediately drag the Hozuki Clan to attack Konoha.
Apart from Shimura Danzo, probably no one would want to see such a chain reaction.
Snake-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Yamanaka Kei formed hand seals and used his half-baked Fire Release ninjutsu to completely evaporate the water stains on the ground.
Only after truly ensuring that Hozuki Fuyuki was reduced to ashes did he turn around and leave the research lab.
In the huge research institute.
The dozen or so researchers who had been imprisoned earlier were now dismantling and packing various equipment in the research institute with trepidation.
Three shadow clones of Namikaze Minato guarded the front and rear exits of the research institute.
The remaining one was supervising the work in the corridor.
"Solved it?"
This shadow clone of Namikaze Minato took the initiative to ask when he saw Yamanaka Kei come out.
"He killed himself before I could even ask anything."
Yamanaka Kei emphasized the word "suicide."
"Understood."
Namikaze Minato's shadow clone revealed a knowing expression.
After being a ninja for so many years, he could also think of some things.
It's just that in life, especially when facing Konoha companions, he doesn't like to speculate about them with malice.
"Have all the summoned beasts been transferred back? What about your main body?"
"Yeah, um... that..."
"Why are you stammering? Did you go somewhere to get intimate?"
"Huh? No! Kei, please don't tease me. I just went to her place to sort out some documents, really."
[Ding~ Significantly altering the fate of an important character, the world line development process has shifted, obtaining: Entry Copy chance ×1, Entry Stripping chance ×1, Blue Entry Upgrade chance ×1, Entry Downgrade chance ×1, Entry Gifting chance ×1.]
The system prompt suddenly appeared in Yamanaka Kei's mind.
The reappearance of the Entry Copy chance, along with rare system abilities that had never appeared before, all proved one thing.
Namikaze Minato is truly the Child of Destiny of this era!
This reward is simply ridiculously luxurious, okay?
But looking at the determined Namikaze Minato in front of him.
Yamanaka Kei suddenly felt that honest people are really scary when they lie!
Damn it! (Damn it! )!
That sincere expression.
He almost believed that this guy was really just helping Uzumaki Honoka sort out documents, okay?
Sorting out documents, sorting out documents?!
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't reveal the system's secrets, he would have thrown the system prompt in Namikaze Minato's face and asked him properly, who sorts out documents to the point where the trajectory of fate is drastically altered?
If nothing happened in between.
He, Yamanaka Kei, would write his name backwards!
"Minato, don't speak so definitively, or your main body won't be able to save face."
Yamanaka Kei, for the sake of the system's reward, patted the shadow clone's shoulder earnestly.
"Sigh... Kei, what can I do to make you believe me?"
Namikaze Minato's shadow clone looked aggrieved and helpless.
Didn't he know himself?
"If your main body can appear beside me within three seconds, I'll believe you."
"Okay!"
Poof~
Namikaze Minato's shadow clone left a Flying Thunder God Mark on the wall, and then turned into a cloud of Chakra smoke and dissipated.
After the shadow clone is dispelled, it will bring the memory back to the main body.
If nothing really happened.
With Namikaze Minato's personality, not to mention three seconds, he would appear beside Yamanaka Kei in one second.
What a pity!
Almost a minute had passed, and still no one appeared.
"Why am I getting jealous?"
Yamanaka Kei looked at the Flying Thunder God Mark that hadn't reacted for a long time, his expression changing several times.
"Damn it! Waiting for some tomorrow! I'm setting off for Konoha tonight!"
