Chapter 613 Hyuga's Ambition
Chapter 613 Hyuga's Ambition
During the days that Lu Li stayed in Konoha, he didn't just study with Orochimaru every day on how to awaken his Rinnegan.
In fact, most of the time, it was Orochimaru who was analyzing the data and helping Lu Li prepare his own pupil power-enhancing liquid. These things were not taken out at the last minute.
While Orochimaru was busy, Lu Li was responsible for training Naruto and Sasuke.
As for Naruto, he had already helped activate Ashura's chakra in the Rain Country before, which made Naruto's progress by leaps and bounds. The attributes of his body blessed with Ashura's chakra were all the result of sweat and hard work.
After being suppressed by Lu Li, Sasuke worked hard to become stronger. Lu Li thought that if he really waited for Sasuke to practice slowly on his own, it would be too slow.
So he used the power of the Hogyoku on Sasuke, just like he did to Naruto, to help Sasuke awaken Indra Chakra.
To be honest, Lu Li is not sure whether Sasuke's eye power is the result of Orochimaru's scientific research or the result of Indra's chakra.
Anyway, Sasuke now possesses eternal eye power, and his basic attributes have also skyrocketed, not much inferior to Naruto.
The reason why he is not inferior is that he is still a little worse than Naruto. Lu Li analyzed it and found the problem.
It is normal that Naruto's stats are higher than Sasuke's. After all, the Indra and Ashura chakras inherited by the two are equally powerful. But Naruto also has the Nine-Tailed Fox as a power bank. After perfect cooperation with the Nine-Tailed Fox, Naruto's stats can be further increased.
On the other hand, Sasuke has neither awakened the Rinnegan nor has the eight tailed beasts to serve as a power bank for him, so naturally his values are lower than Naruto's.
However, whether he is strong or not depends on who he is compared with. Compared with Naruto, Sasuke is slightly inferior, but he is already superior to all the natives in the current ninja world.
"Do you know where we are going?"
Lu Li asked the two passionate young men in return.
Sasuke and Naruto were stunned and looked at each other. They had forgotten and still didn't know who kidnapped Hanabi.
"I have an investigative direction regarding this matter."
Hinata Hiashi said at this time, "Because my daughters' pupil power has increased, I have been looking up ancient books recently. As a result, I unexpectedly discovered that our clan may have a passage to the moon."
"moon?"
Everyone present was confused after hearing this and looked up at the sky. Because it was still daytime, they had no idea of the moon's position.
Hiashi nodded, "It's the moon. I'm sure you may not know that our Hyuga clan is called a thousand-year-old family for a reason. In fact, the source of our bloodline, if traced back, is also related to the legendary Six Paths Sage, but our ancestor is the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage."
Having said that, he glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and a series of other Uchiha strongmen. The meaning was obvious, that is, we are not inferior to them in terms of birth and bloodline.
Due to the strength of the Uchiha clan in recent years, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan formed a community of interests through marriage, but as their strength and status became more solid, the Hyuga clan was doing better than before during the third generation's rule, and they also had their own ideas.
For example... the position of Hokage can be occupied by Uchiha, so why can't I, a Hinata?
Originally, the Uchiha clan was too powerful, and young geniuses like Sasuke and Itachi overshadowed the young people in their clan, so Hiashi had already given up.
But when he saw the awakened potential of his daughters and Neji, he suddenly realized that they still had a chance in the future.
First of all, grasp a core concept, cling to the powerful external aid of natural disasters, and seek the possibility of ascending the bloodline of the whole clan.
How did Uchiha get to the top? As a high-ranking member of Konoha, Hiashi can understand it by just looking back. In fact, didn't he get to the top by relying on Lu Li's help?
What a hero who saved Konoha? Now it seems that Hiashi seriously suspects that the plan to destroy Konoha was directed and acted by Uchiha and Tianzai.
With great ambitions, Hiashi did not forget to point out the noble origin of their family when all the strong men gathered together. "According to ancient records, our lineage was divided into two groups. One group actually went to the moon. In our clan land, there is actually a medium for activating space ninjutsu that allows the two clans to communicate."
“Are there still people living on the moon?”
Naruto was a little surprised after hearing this, but he did not pay attention to the point of the other party's bragging. In his opinion, it doesn't matter who your parents and ancestors are. The key is to rely on your own efforts and sweat.
Hiashi nodded. "Theoretically, there are members of our other lineage on the moon. According to records, our two tribes were once in contact through a channel thousands of years ago, but they later stopped coming down, and the channel was sealed up. Until now, none of us in the Hyuga clan know about it. If I hadn't looked up ancient books, I wouldn't have discovered it."
"And what does this have to do with the possibility that the prisoner is from the moon?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked, he was the Hokage and might be Hiashi's relative in the future, so naturally he would be concerned about Hanabi's kidnapping.
Hiashi said solemnly: "I am not bragging, but my strength is extraordinary now. Now all the masters of the ninja world have gathered in this war. Those people suddenly appeared in our clan territory. They did not break in from outside Konoha. I have reason to suspect that they may have taken that passage."
He paused and continued his analysis: "Moreover, after a thousand years, we have no relationship with the people above us. We don't know what they have become. Just like the eyes of the nobles, our white eyes can also be replaced and transplanted. Perhaps their bloodline has degenerated, and they hope to replenish new blood."
At this point, Rizu looked a little angry, mainly because he felt that the distant relatives on the moon were too inhuman.
If there is a problem with the bloodline within your clan and you need the bloodline of the Hyuga clan, you can communicate with us directly and try for marriage.
Referring to the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan now does not attach so much importance to the internal digestion of their bloodline. After discovering that their ancestor is the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage, Hiashi feels that if they can marry the Otsutsuki on the moon, their Hyuga clan may be able to revitalize.
But unfortunately, the people on the moon seemed to be mentally ill. They were all descendants of the same ancestor, but they snatched his daughter away without saying a word.
"Is that passage still usable now?"
Lu Li inquired. He only focused on the main point of the problem. He already knew what Rizu said after watching the theatrical version and reading the comments of the bigwigs. He just said it for those who didn't know the inside story.
However, this was the first time he heard that the Hyuga clan had a hidden channel that could connect to the moon. If there was such a method, then it would explain why Toneri could use a puppet to appear directly in the Hyuga clan.
In the movie version that Lu Li had seen, Naruto traveled through the rocky tunnels between the Earth and the Moon, but he felt that Toneri should have a more convenient and safer way, which was probably the way Hinata mentioned.
"It should be possible, but I'm not good at space ninjutsu, so I'd better ask Mr. Lu to take a look."
Hinata Hiashi said.
"That's easy to say."
After Lu Li nodded, he formed a seal with one hand. The next moment, the people around him were all wrapped up in it. When he opened his eyes again, he had already landed in Konoha Village.
Hiashi looked at the familiar scene in front of him in shock. He originally wanted to ask Lu Li if he was good at space ninjutsu, but now he didn't need to ask.
The other party just made a hand seal and teleported them all directly to Konoha Village, which was not far from his clan's land.
Lu Li looked calm, as if everything was just a basic operation and was in his plan. But in fact, his original target was the Hyuga clan's land, but it was slightly off.
This is why it is not easy for him to teleport directly to the moon. After all, the earth and moon in the Naruto world are different from the Earth and Moon he is familiar with, and the distance may also be different.
He is not one of those top students who can calculate the exact distance and direction. If his not-so-perfect teleportation skills go astray and he teleports directly into outer space, that would be really funny.
Although with his current attributes, he can survive for a long time even in outer space, but it would be a troublesome thing if he drifted away and couldn't come back.
So if there is a safe route to take, it is best to choose the right path.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Ri Zu did not dare to delay and directly asked everyone to follow him to the clan territory. After all, every minute of delay would put his daughter in greater danger.
Although he analyzed it, what if the other party didn't want to find a wife? And which father wanted to see his daughter being abducted and forced to be someone else's wife?
Even if the people on the moon took the formal diplomatic route to marry them, he would still have to consider it.
Besides, Hanabi is his most promising child, and she will take over the Hyuga clan in the future. Even if he wants to get married, it would be best to ensure the purity of bloodline within the clan. If he finds a child from another clan, the other party must marry into the family.
Not long after, he led everyone to the basement below the clan, where they found a stone slab engraved with intricate patterns, on which there were still faint traces of spatial fluctuations.
Lu Li only took a glance and knew that this place, which was similar to a teleportation array, had just been used. It was indeed the visitors from the moon who abducted Hua Huo.
"Then let's go."
Lu Li said, and then looked at Uchiha Fugaku, "Tell the ninja coalition to keep an eye on the Ten-Tails. I will be of use to you later. Also, there may be a small impact later, so don't panic."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded in agreement. At this time, he didn't know what a "small impact" was.
Just as Lu Li finished examining the teleportation array and was about to teleport to the moon according to the coordinates, Hinata rushed in from the periphery, "Lu... Senior, please take me with you, I can fight too!"
When she heard that Tianzai had won the war and came to the tribe's territory to investigate and rescue Hua Huo, she hurried over. However, in her impression, Lu Li was an old grandfather. She wanted to call him by the name she was used to during their previous trip to the Rain Country, but she found that Lu Li had become younger, and she was stuck for words for a moment.
But this is not the point. She is concerned about her sister's safety at this moment, and feels deeply guilty for not being able to save her sister in the previous battle, so she has been restless and wants to fight to save her sister.
"Hinata, don't worry, Brother Lu is very strong. Besides, we have Sasuke and I."
Naruto grinned from the side, his smile was sunny and cheerful, making people feel inexplicably at ease.
"But……"
Hinata really wanted to say that she was not weak now, and that she had fought back and forth with the invaders before, but Hanabi was ambushed and they were caught off guard.
"A rescue mission doesn't need a burden."
Sasuke said this arrogantly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by his father.
Although what Sasuke said was true in a sense, it did not give face to the Hyuga clan, which made Hiashi look unhappy, and Hinata also looked lost.
"Let's go together. After rescuing Hanabi, there may be some things that girls can do."
It was Lu Li who spoke last and made the final decision.
Hinata's eyes lit up and she looked at Lu Li with gratitude. She was just worried that Hanabi would get hurt and it would be inconvenient for everyone to deal with it.
Naruto just bared his teeth and smiled brightly at Hinata, "Then let's go."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Li confirmed that the spatial coordinates were correct and initiated the teleportation directly.
The next moment, the figures of Lu Li and the other three disappeared from the spot, and when they reappeared, it was already the moon.
Lu Li did not directly take the path left by the other party, because the other party might do something during the transmission process. After he read the exact coordinates, he could use his own transmission skills. Even if there was an error, it would only be a few hundred meters at most, and nothing would happen.
The four people fell in mid-air on the moon. Unlike the moon in the real world, the gravity here was not very weak. The strange thing was that in Lu Li's observation and perception, the volume of the moon itself was not as big as the moon he was familiar with.
After all, this is the moon condensed from the Earth-shattering Star. I'm afraid its gravity core is different from that of a conventional body and is more concentrated.
In other words, even though it is relatively small visually, Toneri's Golden Wheel Tensei Explosion can cut through the moon here, which can cut through the moon in everyone's general perception.
After possessing the Samsara Eye, Otsutsuki Toneri is indeed a genuine Six Paths-level powerhouse, and his stats may even be higher than Uchiha Madara after absorbing the Ten Tails.
"Wow, is this the moon?"
Naruto was a little excited about his first time on the moon, "Look, there is a castle over there, will Hanabi-chan be taken there?"
Although excited, Naruto did not forget that this was a serious rescue operation and quickly detected the suspicious target.
"There's a high level of chakra in that building, and my Byakugan can't see clearly."
Hinata frowned, very worried about Hanabi's situation.
Lu Li also sensed the power of the giant Rinnegan. This power was very active. He was afraid that Otsutsuki Toneri had already succeeded and had begun to establish a connection with the giant Rinnegan.
At this time, several explorers in the castle had already sensed that a powerful force was descending on the moon.
With sweat on their foreheads, they looked at Toneri who was pouring his own chakra into Hanabi's eyes, ready to activate the ban and run away at any time.
But what made them somewhat desperate was that they had just discovered that someone had been teleported to the moon, and the next moment, they saw a real natural disaster in the castle.
"Senior Lu, it's them!"
Hinata shouted immediately after she saw the guys.
