Chapter 120: Chapter 120: A Clone's Power
Thud!
"How does he know our abilities?!"
"This guy is too strange!"
Hidan and Kakuzu were covered in wounds, especially Kakuzu, who had already lost two hearts.
They had paid such a huge price just to deal with a shadow clone.
If it were the real body, would they even have a chance to fight back?
Ryujiro's clone gazed towards the location of the real body and slowly said, "It seems everything is over."
Over?
Kakuzu and Hidan couldn't help but frown.
What was he talking about?
In fact, both Kakuzu and Hidan were so frustrated with this fight.
Their mission was to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, yet they ended up entangled with Ryujiro's shadow clone.
The key point was that with their combined strength, dealing with a shadow clone should have been easy, yet they weren't even a match for Ryujiro's shadow clone.
"Enough playing around. It's time to deal with you two," Ryujiro's clone said lightly.
"What?"
"Playing around?"
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu and Hidan were instantly furious.
"Hey! There should be a limit to underestimating and looking down on others!"
Unable to endure any longer, Kakuzu and Hidan teamed up to fight Ryujiro's clone.
However, this time, Ryujiro's clone no longer held back.
Kakuzu and Hidan were simply no match for the clone.
A single branch imbued with Armament Haki was enough to deal with the two.
The branch emitted terrifying sword energy as if it were a real sword, making Kakuzu and Hidan's scalps tingle.
Just having an extra branch in hand created such a huge gap in strength!
This guy was a true monster!
In the end, under the full strength of Ryujiro's clone, the devastating sword energy instantly engulfed the two.
Even though Hidan could survive being cut in half, he couldn't keep his body intact under this sword energy. Hidan couldn't possibly survive this.
The main thing was that this was just a shadow clone of Ryujiro.
Hidan's abilities only worked on the real body, which greatly limited his strength.
Other than Kisame and Itachi, almost everyone in the Akatsuki organization had died at Ryujiro's hands.
Undoubtedly, Ryujiro demonstrated a strength that was overwhelmingly superior.
Akatsuki's mission this time was a complete failure.
The biggest contributors were undoubtedly Ryujiro and Hinata, and many people didn't understand why Hinata had such powerful abilities.
During the meeting, Ryujiro also explained Hinata's abilities.
When Tsunade and the other Jonin heard about the origin of Hinata's Tenseigan, almost everyone in the hall was shocked.
Especially Kakashi, who knew how terrifying the Rinnegan's abilities were after fighting Pain.
The Tenseigan was comparable to the Rinnegan.
It was truly terrifying.
The Hyuga clan seemed unstoppable in becoming the top clan in Konoha Village.
If the Third Hokage were still alive, he would have been wary of such a powerful Hyuga clan, possibly even taking restrictive measures against them like he did with the Uchiha clan.
In this war, Ryujiro and Hinata were undoubtedly heroes of the village.
Although some people had previously harbored dissatisfaction and opinions about Ryujiro, those feelings disappeared after he saved the village.
In their hearts, Ryujiro and Hinata were heroes who saved their lives.
Now, Tsunade understood that Ryujiro's words were not just empty talk.
He really had the potential to lead Konoha to unprecedented heights.
Although Konoha didn't suffer many casualties, rebuilding the village was still a troublesome task.
However, Ryujiro thought of a quick way to rebuild the village.
"You want to borrow Yamato?"
"Yes."
Yamato had now left the Anbu and was a Special Jonin.
Tsunade called Yamato over.
"Ryujiro, were you looking for me?" Yamato said.
"Come with me."
....
Wood Release: Serial Pillar Houses!
On an open space in Konoha, buildings rose from the ground.
Although Yamato possessed Wood Release, his Wood Release was far inferior to the First Hokage's.
However, Yamato was skilled in building houses. In a short time, many new houses appeared in Konoha.
Although Yamato's chakra wasn't enough to support such huge consumption, Ryujiro supplied him with chakra like a perpetual motion machine.
In this village reconstruction plan, Yamato earned a new title.
The Mad Builder of Konoha.
People even thought of him as the strongest construction worker!
In no time, the flattened buildings of Konoha stood tall once again before everyone's eyes.
After Akatsuki's invasion of Konoha, the entire shinobi world seemed to be stirring again.
Especially the Land of Lightning, which summoned the other four major nations to discuss important matters.
This so-called important matter was something any smart person could guess.
The Land of Lightning still wanted to take action against Konoha.
After two invasions, all the major nations believed that Konoha was in a weakened state, presenting an unprecedented opportunity.
The Sunagakure's Jinchuriki had also returned.
Not only that, but his strength was now on par with a Kage-level shinobi, and he was still very young.
Not long after Gaara's return, Chiyo retired and handed over the position of Kazekage to Gaara.
In their eyes, Gaara had grown enough to take on the role of Kazekage.
At this time, Kisame and Itachi who went to the Land of Lightning couldn't successfully capture the Eight-Tails.
It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but the Fourth Raikage seemed to know their plan.
He had been lurking near the Eight-Tails for a long time.
Now, due to frequent use of his Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi's body was on the brink of collapse.
Although it didn't show on the surface, his condition was already beyond cure.
"Even the leader failed."
Kisame, supporting Itachi, said with a complex expression.
Their leader failed, and they also failed to capture the Eight-Tails.
The future of the Akatsuki was bleak and uncertain.
Itachi remained silent. He was also considering whether to return to Akatsuki or not.
He had always been a spy for Konoha within Akatsuki, though no one knew his identity.
Itachi had always prioritized the village.
He had inherited Shisui's will.
Moreover, Itachi had another matter to complete.
Sasuke.
"Kisame."
Huh?
Kisame turned his head to look at Itachi and was stunned the next second.
The Sharingan stared at Kisame, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Sorry."
Itachi said to Kisame, then his figure disappeared into the dense forest.
He could not return to Akatsuki.
Due to Nagato's failure, Obito and Zetsu had to accelerate their plans.
Nagato had become a useless pawn.
Hence, he died at Obito's hands, unlike in the original story where he had scarified himself.
As for Konan, she barely escaped from Akatsuki.
She knew she wouldn't be able to kill Obito and mostly likely would die at his hands.
So, she ran away. She wanted to keep her hatred and avenge Nagato.
In Konan's eyes, everything they were going through was because of Obito.
Ever since Nagato came into contact with Obito, he had changed completely.
And those Rinnegan eyes. Had also been taken by Obito.
If Ryujiro knew about this, he would probably be stunned for a while.
The plot had now completely diverged.

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Leisure Days
After a month, Konoha had begun to recover.
However, despite this, a shadow still loomed over the village leaders, a shadow that the villagers of Konoha were unaware of.
As the Hokage, Tsunade received a heavy message after dispatching the Anbu to investigate the cooperation between the major nations.
This time, the negotiations between the other four nations went unusually smoothly compared to before.
More importantly, Onoki and A did not argue, which was unprecedented.
Normally, the relationship between these two was like fire and water, but under their common interest, they put aside their prejudices and focused all their attention on Konoha.
If they could conquer Konoha, they would achieve a feat that had never been accomplished in the history of the shinobi world wars.
The thought of obtaining Konoha's fertile land and other resources made the other village leaders excited.
It had been a month since the Akatsuki's invasion of Konoha, and even if Konoha had won, the village would be in a weakened state.
This was a rare opportunity that they were unwilling to miss.
Although there might be further conflicts among the villages over the distribution of benefits, they were willing to first swallow Konoha under the common interest.
As for the distribution of benefits, naturally, the strongest village would take the largest share.
Within the Akatsuki, only Obito, Black Zetsu, and Kisame remained.
The once powerful Akatsuki now seemed as fragile as leaves in the wind, but Obito and Zetsu had a plan.
This ninja world war might be an opportunity to seize the tailed beasts from the major villages while they were vulnerable.
Moreover, the One-Tails Jinchuriki had already been found; the Sand Village's Kazekage was their new target.
"Obito, when necessary, use this Jutsu to summon Madara back. We need his power now."
Black Zetsu said, having lived for countless ages, naturally possessing some Forbidden Jutsus.
Obito's eyes narrowed sharply, and he couldn't suppress a shudder in his heart.
It was actually this jutsu.
Edo Tensei.
With Madara's power, everything might become easier.
Now they only lacked the power of the Eight-Tails, Nine-Tails, and One-Tail.
If Madara appeared during the chaos of the war among the great nations, the situation would become even more chaotic.
The day of peace for the entire ninja world wouldn't be far off.
Obito failed to notice the hidden cold smile on Zetsu's lips at all.
...
During this time, Ryujiro had to admit that Hinata was truly a genius.
During Pain's invasion, she unexpectedly drew out the Truth-Seeking Balls and her strength had already surpassed that of a super Kage level ninjas.
Now, in just one month, Hinata's strength had improved again.
Although she wasn't yet fully in control, she could now enter Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
Being able to enter Tenseigan Chakra Mode meant that Hinata had surpassed most of the powerful individuals of this world.
The Truth-Seeking Ball possessed the power of Yin-Yang Release and could obliterate all matter.
Their existence surpassed even the power of Kekkei Genkai.
Besides the Truth-Seeking Balls, Hinata had also mastered several other abilities of the Tenseigan.
Tenseigan also gave the power to control another person's will and actions, and also read their thoughts.
This ability was different from genjutsu; unless the person's willpower was extraordinarily strong, they couldn't escape the control of Tenseigan.
Once controlled, all their actions and thoughts would change according to the controller's will.
Hinata also mastered the Tenseigan's spatial manipulation and Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
As for the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, perhaps due to her not fully mastering the Tenseigan's power, its force wasn't yet at the level that Ryujiro knew could split the moon, but it could easily cleave a mountain in two.
Hinata was now close to the Six Paths level.
Compared to Uchiha Madara as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, there was still a considerable gap in strength.
But it was main due to Hinata's lack of experience.
During Pain's invasion, Hinata was promoted to Jonin by the higher-ups of Konoha.
Hinata's and Ryujiro's relationship was also well-known in the village, and their story became popular.
The other members of the Konoha 11 envied Ryujiro and Hinata.
They were still Chūnin while Ryujiro was the Hokage's assistant, and Hinata was a Jonin.
This couple was simply incredible.
At home, Ryujiro enjoyed a leisurely life, playing chess with Hiashi, gardening, and walking around the village with Hinata.
It was an incredibly pleasant life.
As for the meetings of the other villages, Ryujiro considered them nothing but a group of rabbles.
During this month, Ryujiro wasn't idle either. He fought multiple battles in his mental space against Aizen.
Ryujiro noticed that after his progress bar reached 50%, Aizen's strength in the mental space also became stronger.
His use of Kido and Shinigami combat techniques became more sophisticated, they were no longer like robotic attacks.
Instead, Ryujiro saw a glimmer of light in Aizen's eyes in the mental space. The dullness in his eyes gradually disappeared.
This surprised Ryujiro.
Could it be that the second template's Aizen would regain his battle intellect faster?
However, the Aizen in the mental space was just an illusion created by the system, not the real Aizen.
While playing with Hanabi in the yard, Ryujiro noticed a figure suddenly appearing in the Hyuga Clan's courtyard.
It was Yamato.
"Ryujiro, Tsunade-sama wants to see you," Yamato said respectfully.
Tsunade, huh?
"I understand, I'll be right there." Ryujiro nodded.
He wasn't particularly concerned about why Tsunade was looking for him.
After hearing Ryujiro's response, Yamato disappeared again.
Ryujiro smiled at Hanabi. "Hanabi, I'll play with you later."
"Okay, brother-in-law, you should go now."
Hanabi nodded.
After bidding farewell to Hanabi, Ryujiro's figure also disappeared from the courtyard.
.....
Arriving at the Hokage's office, Ryujiro pushed open the door.
Tsunade, who had been frowning, finally relaxed when she saw Ryujiro.
"You're finally here."
Tsunade's face relaxed as she handed a note to Ryujiro.
Ryujiro suspiciously looked at the note, a strange smile appearing on his face.
