Bab 182: Chapter 182: The Hyuga Sisters
"You can also use the Flying Thunder God!!!"
Hearing Hyuga Rinmei's words, Shishou grinned and chuckled:
"The Hyuga clan really does think alike."
"What do you mean?" Rinmei was puzzled, not understanding Shishou's words.
Shishou laughed, "Because Natsu said the same thing when she saw me use the Flying Thunder God."
"Natsu is here too?" Rinmei was astonished.
"Yes, from now on, both you and she will be my servants," Shishou said, lifting Rinmei's chin with his fingers and smiling at her.
Rinmei slapped his hand away, anger flaring up, "You're delusional!"
She had compromised with the Flying Thunder God user, but she would never yield to Mr. Lurigan.
"Hehe."
Shishou chuckled, and in Rinmei's shocked gaze, his body began to grow taller, eventually transforming into the appearance of the Flying Thunder God user.
"Master?" Rinmei asked, both surprised and doubtful.
Seeing Rinmei's shocked expression, Shishou gently stroked her cheek and smiled, "Mr. Lurigan and the Flying Thunder God user are the same person."
Rinmei endured Shishou's touch, nervously speaking, "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't know it was you."
If she had known Mr. Lurigan was the Flying Thunder God user, she would never have dared to slap his hand away.
"Change your clothes."
He threw a backless maid outfit to Rinmei, smiling.
Before coming here, Rinmei had mentally prepared herself, so she had no strong objections to being a maid. However, seeing that Shishou had no intention of turning away, she felt slightly embarrassed but didn't dare to ask him to leave.
In the end, Rinmei could only blush and nervously change her clothes.
"Let's go, I'll teach you a technique. You need to learn it quickly."
Seeing Rinmei dressed, Shishou walked away.
Although he could use his insects to absorb the Hyuga clan's bloodline, doing so would harm innocents, which didn't align with his principles. Using cell transplantation was too complicated and time-consuming, so he didn't want to do that either.
He planned to go to the moon, obtain Otsutsuki cells, and then transplant those cells into Rinmei. Once she awakened the Tenseigan, he would use her cells for transplantation, solving the problem once and for all.
For now, he intended for Rinmei and Natsu to use the sensing technique to locate the spatial anomaly.
Even though the sensing technique had a range of a hundred kilometers, the ninja world was vast, making it difficult to find the anomaly.
He had no intention of searching for it himself.
Following Shishou, Rinmei curiously observed the surroundings in the lab.
"Master, you're here."
Hyuga Natsu ran over to greet Shishou.
When she saw Rinmei, she was shocked and blurted out:
"Rinmei-sama?"
Natsu couldn't believe she was seeing Rinmei here, dressed in the same maid outfit as herself, completely shattering her perception.
To Natsu, Rinmei had always been like a goddess, noble and dignified, with a gentle yet slightly cold personality. She was the most favored among the Hyuga servants.
"Natsu, I didn't expect to see you here," Rinmei said, feeling embarrassed and awkward.
Seeing this amusing scene, Shishou chuckled and continued walking towards the training room, saying:
"Let's go."
"From now on, you two will be like sisters."
Rinmei: "..."
Natsu: "..."
After handing them the scroll containing the sensing technique, Shishou explained a few things and then left the lab, returning to Konoha.
A few days later.
In Amegakure, the Village Hidden by Rain.
"That person didn't come today either."
Konan stood atop a high tower, looking down at the citizens of Amegakure, her expression complex.
It was already April 25th, more than two months since she returned to Amegakure, exceeding the one-month deadline she had agreed upon with Shishou.
Yet, it seemed he had forgotten about her, not coming to find her even once.
Konan, not knowing where he was, could only wait here.
Though she didn't want to stay with him, she feared he would use this situation against the Akatsuki, continuing to pursue them relentlessly.
She had already learned about Kakuzu and Shennong's encounter with him.
Konan thought that if she had been with him at that time, perhaps she could have prevented the conflict.
This gave her a reason to stay by his side.
Swish!
"Hey, long time no see."
Shishou appeared beside Konan, smiling.
He had been busy with the Tenseigan lately and only remembered his promise to Konan today.
"Why are you only coming now?" Konan pursed her lips, speaking coldly, with a hint of resentment in her tone.
Hearing Konan's words, Shishou didn't answer, instead, looking around and asking:
"Where's Nagato?"
This time, he planned to discuss borrowing the chakra of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails with Nagato.
"What do you need from me?" Nagato flew over from another tower, arriving beside Shishou.
As soon as Shishou appeared, Nagato noticed his presence.
Nagato scrutinized Shishou, exclaiming, "You've become stronger again!"
Previously, Nagato had thought that after doubling his chakra by transplanting Hashirama's cells, he would be able to suppress Shishou.
But now, he realized that this was just wishful thinking.
"You've become stronger too," Shishou said, noticing Nagato's fully healed legs, smiling.
He assumed Nagato had transplanted Hashirama's cells, likely with Obito's help.
Konan, listening to their conversation, bit her lip in frustration.
She was the only one who hadn't improved.
"I want to borrow the chakra of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails."
"In exchange, Konan won't have to follow me anymore."
After a moment of silence, Shishou stated his purpose.
Since he hadn't decided how to 'handle' Konan yet, he figured he'd trade her for some tailed beast chakra for now.
He could always find an opportunity to take Konan later.
"Uh…"
Hearing this, Konan was shocked. She had thought he had come to take her, but instead, he was trading her for the chakra of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.
She felt a sense of betrayal.
"Alright!"
Nagato, eager to get Konan back, agreed without hesitation.
This man had a terrible reputation, not only entangled with Mei Terumi but also rumored to be involved with Konoha's Tsunade and spotted by Kakuzu and Shennong with Kurenai.
That made three women!
Nagato couldn't trust leaving Konan with him.
Konan immediately stepped forward to oppose:
"Nagato, I disagree."
