Chapter 70: Otsutsuki Isshiki, the Nuclear Organization?
"Makoto, when did you learn Space Ninjutsu?"
Inside a valley on the edge of Konoha, Shisui sat up, shaking his head slightly.
He still felt a bit dizzy, but the look he gave Hyuga Makoto was even more curious.
After returning to Konoha, he had been pondering how to get inside.
He actually possessed the technique to bypass the barrier, but subconsciously, he didn't want to cause trouble for Hyuga Makoto.
As it turned out, before he could figure it out himself, space suddenly twisted, his consciousness went blank, and by the time he came to, he was already here!
"Could this be the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"This isn't the Flying Thunder God, and the Flying Thunder God doesn't belong to the Fourth Hokage either."
Hyuga Makoto smiled casually and didn't offer much explanation; he was actually quite pleased right now.
He had just been testing his abilities, and the results were even better than he had imagined!
He had simply locked onto Shisui with his Byakugan, and then instantly completed the spatial traversal, bringing Shisui in with him.
Moreover, during this process, Shisui had clearly experienced the same disorientation seen when being transported by Kamui.
He suddenly felt as if he had gained another Move for catching people off guard.
However, he didn't care much about that; he wasn't Obito, and there was no need to rely on such methods to disgust his enemies.
Looking at the dazed Shisui, he continued with a smile.
"This is a technique developed by the Nidaime. You've actually reminded me; perhaps I could go and reference the Flying Thunder God."
"Is that so?"
Shisui scratched his head and didn't press further, instead saying with a smile.
"Then congratulations, you've made another breakthrough."
"Thank you."
Hyuga Makoto shrugged and then asked curiously.
"By the way, you've been out for so long, how was the harvest?"
"The equipment you wanted isn't easy to find."
Once the topic turned to business, Shisui immediately became serious.
"I only found it through various inquiries and finally through the black market, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"What I could buy isn't the latest model, because the black market has its own rules, and I'm just a newcomer, so..."
"It's fine as long as you bought it."
Hyuga Makoto breathed a sigh of relief; after joining the Anbu, he had gained some understanding of the black market.
The survival rules of the black market were simple: either you have money, or you have strength; then you can get many things you want.
However, the black market wouldn't just accept any random person; after all, there were many Rogue Ninja operating within it.
To enter, one needed to make a name for themselves to get more missions, more information, and more trust from employers.
"The Akatsuki Organization also spent some time operating before they slowly started taking on large-scale missions..."
In his memory, Ōnoki seemed to have hired the Akatsuki Organization to handle some wartime missions.
Shisui had just dipped his toes in; being able to secure the equipment he wanted was already quite good!
"It would be great if there was information on Orochimaru. If nothing else, there are many things in his laboratory..."
Hyuga Makoto had a thought, but Shisui spoke up again.
"Also, Makoto, I ran into some trouble this time."
"Trouble?"
Hyuga Makoto was somewhat surprised, and Shisui nodded with an embarrassed look.
"Yeah, while I was on a mission, I had a conflict with a squad from an organization..."
"Organization? What organization?"
"I don't know, but one of the people in that squad was called Kakuzu, a legendary bounty hunter."
?"
"He said I stole their mission and then started a fight..."
"..."
"I killed his teammate and then retreated without exposing my identity, but it's still somewhat of a hassle."
"6"
Hyuga Makoto was somewhat silent; he really hadn't expected Shisui to encounter such bad luck.
He himself was entangled with people from the Akatsuki Organization, and now Shisui had run into them too?
And wasn't Kakuzu's teammate usually killed by Kakuzu himself? Now it had become Shisui?
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. We'll inevitably have contact with them in the future anyway."
Although it felt a bit ridiculous, he didn't take it to heart.
"Besides, the next time you go out, you might not be alone."
"Are you going to start the experiment and use a cloned body?"
Shisui understood immediately; he was the one who got the experimental equipment, so how could he not know what it was for?
Even if he wasn't clear on why Hyuga Makoto wanted to do this, he now chose to support him unconditionally!
"I'd really like to fight alongside you. What kind of body do you plan to Clone?"
"A body with Chakra attributes."
Hyuga Makoto didn't hide it, and after thinking for a moment, he asked curiously.
"What attribute do you think is best for my first body?"
"Definitely Fire Release!"
Shisui spoke without hesitation, which directly silenced Hyuga Makoto, but Shisui had his reasons.
"Because I'm good at Fire Release, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
...That seems true. What other attributes are you good at?"
"Wind Release and Lightning Release."
"I see, I think I know now."
Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow; he really hadn't expected Shisui to know Wind Release and Lightning Release as well.
After all, in his memory, he didn't recall seeing Shisui use them, though it might have been because the guy went offline quite early.
Besides, Shisui was an Uchiha Genius; it really wasn't surprising if he knew a few other things.
"Then let's go with Fire Release and Wind Release."
Hyuga Makoto quickly made a decision; these cloned Clones were meant for him to familiarize himself with and adapt to these Chakras and Bloodline Limits.
Shisui was skilled in these two, which could help him a lot, and these two attributes seemed like they could be combined into Scorch Release...?
Although he wasn't clear on the operational procedure, he could use his Clones for consequence-free experimentation!
"Anyway, Obito has provided me with plenty of materials..."
Hyuga Makoto had a plan in mind; at worst, he'd just look for Obito to restock in the future!
In any case, he believed he would definitely run into that guy more than a few times...
"I'll be counting on you then, Shisui."
"No problem, I will definitely teach you everything I know."
Shisui was very serious, but after pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but speak up.
"But if we're moving out together, it's best to have the name of a Ninja organization."
"Huh?"
"Because you're a newcomer, having an organization with me will make things much more convenient."
"Is that so..."
"And your experiments will likely require a lot of money; an organization can also earn more."
Seeing Shisui's serious look, Hyuga Makoto felt a bit embarrassed to tell him that he was currently a "hyuga commissioner"!
The money from those small outside missions wouldn't even be enough for one of his "breakthroughs"...
However, forming an organization was indeed within his considerations.
After all, to mess with Black Zetsu, the Akatsuki Organization, and even more people, he couldn't just be running around alone, could he?
His group of Clones also needed a suitable identity.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Makoto suddenly became amused.
"That's a good idea, I actually had that thought too!"
"Then what do you think the organization should be called?"
Shisui smiled and asked curiously.
"Also, have you thought of our codenames or anything?"
"My main body will also be moving out, so..."
Hyuga Makoto rubbed his chin and spoke with a mischievous grin.
"What do you think of me being called Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
"Huh?"
Shisui was suddenly a bit bewildered. What was an Otsutsuki?
Did this 'Isshiki' mean 'First Form'?
But before he could figure it out, Hyuga Makoto spoke again with a smile.
"As for you, how about the codename Tobi?"
...Why isn't it Ōtsutsuki Nishiki?"
"Don't worry about it, or calling you Obito works too."
"Isn't Obito a person...?"
"He doesn't count as a person. As for the organization, how about calling it the Kara Organization?"
66
"That's not good either, how about the Nuclear Organization!"
"6"
Shisui really couldn't understand what Hyuga Makoto was thinking; he could only respond with silence.
And Hyuga Makoto was also pondering the feasibility of doing this; since it wasn't settled yet, anything went!
He just felt that since he had already 'possessed' Otsutsuki Isshiki in a sense, then...
"Since I'm seeking excitement, why not carry it through to the end?"
Of course, he still decided to think about it more, but he had already decided on the organization's name.
"It'll be called the Nuclear Organization!"
Anyway, he was going to be the condensation nucleus, so this 'Nucleus' could be the core.
And he was also good at 'Nuclear Weapons', the homophone was close enough, right?
Most importantly, he really intended to drop a nuclear bomb on this Ninja World.
In the following days, Hyuga Makoto's life was relatively peaceful yet busy.
He had to work on his Clones while also continuing to stake out Uchiha Itachi's situation with Kakashi and Jiraiya.
At the same time, he also needed to start recommending branch Family members for entry into the Anbu.
Fortunately, he knew the Shadow Clone technique and had Shisui as an assistant; otherwise, he would have been overwhelmed by so many things.
While things were calm on his end, the situation with the Uchiha was becoming increasingly turbulent.
"By now, you should have adapted to the situation on my side."
Inside the Root base, Danzo Shimura looked expressionlessly at Uchiha Itachi, who was kneeling on one knee before him.
He really wanted to strangle this kid right now; after all, he truly felt like he had been played!
He clearly hated the Uchiha so much, yet now he was forced to protect them?
What the hell was this?!
Actually, he also wanted to just let these people fight each other, but he wasn't sure what kind of consequences that would cause.
Especially since that damn guy knew Space Ninjutsu; if they left, it would mean endless trouble for Konoha!
Therefore, he could only probe for now, slowly figuring out the boundaries to make a better choice.
"Yes, Danzo-sama."
Uchiha Itachi had no idea what Danzo was thinking; he lowered his head and said softly.
"I've already been able to adapt; it's similar to the Anbu here."
"No, this place is different from the Anbu."
Danzo's face was cold as he continued icily.
"I am not the Third Hokage; you should understand that."
"6"
Uchiha Itachi kept his head down and didn't speak, while Danzo continued coldly.
"During your mission, surveillance personnel in the Uchiha district reported that the Police Force has strengthened its armed forces. Do you know what that means?"
"I understand."
Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to speak this time; in fact, he had known about this before Shisui died.
Originally, he thought Shisui could do something, but the final result was...
"The Uchiha's dissatisfaction with the Village has flared up again."
"The status quo can no longer be maintained, so I want to ask you."
Danzo stared intently at Uchiha Itachi and asked in a low voice.
"What do you think they will do, and what do you plan to do?"
"I don't know..."
Uchiha Itachi looked up slightly; he didn't know how to answer these two questions.
In fact, such questions had troubled him for a long time; even though he had some ideas, he still hadn't made up his mind.
"Then go back and think about it carefully, but time is running out for both you and the Village."
Danzo was very dissatisfied with this answer, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, this was a probe, and he couldn't go too far.
"Also, I heard your clan meeting is about to start; remember to attend."
"Yes, Danzo-sama."
Uchiha Itachi opened his mouth but eventually just lowered his head and silently stood up to leave.
Danzo watched his back coldly, only letting out a cold snort after he had completely disappeared.
"Evil Uchiha brat, what kind of excuse will you find?"
Danzo was already convinced that Uchiha Itachi was highly likely to act against his own clan; only through such extreme pain could he obtain a stronger Sharingan!
He wouldn't let Uchiha Itachi succeed; the Uchiha Clan couldn't die at the hands of these guys.
If they were to die, they should die at his own hands...
"I should still notify Hiruzen and have Hyuga Makoto and the others ready at any time."
After pondering for a moment, Danzo stood up, though he felt a bit uncomfortable again.
Hyuga Makoto's performance during this period had truly showcased the value of the Byakugan.
Most importantly, that kid's Byakugan could actually analyze that damn Space Ninjutsu and even beat that Mysterious Person who attacked him into that state!
Recalling his own experience, he felt a faint pain in his arm...
And now he really wished his subordinates could also have a pair of such Byakugan!
"Sigh..."
But he soon let out a painful sigh, because he understood he had no chance.
"I am not Hiruzen; people from the branch Family are always unsafe, and as for the main Family—"
In his eyes, the main Family was simply a bunch of useless trash!
He wanted subordinates with strength like Hyuga Makoto's; even if they weren't as good, they couldn't be too far off, right?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed Danzo became, and eventually, he decided not to think about it.
"I need to focus my energy on the Uchiha..."
He had a premonition that this Uchiha Clan meeting would definitely yield a result!
And regardless of the result, at least this time he knew what he had to do.
"Evil Uchiha, for the sake of Konoha, this time I shall be the one to protect it."
After leaving the Root base, Uchiha Itachi's face became even more pained.
At this moment, he truly felt exhausted in both body and mind; the clan and the Village felt like two mountains weighing down on him!
But no matter what, he had to keep moving forward; at the very least, he had to see his father.
"You said you had something to say to me; I hope it's not something terrible."
Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists and then walked forward without a word.
He also silently made a decision in his heart, because he truly longed to protect the current peace of Konoha...
