"Good brother Rasa has gifted 300 ryo."
"Good guy Kakuzu has gifted 400 million ryo."
"A portion of miscellaneous Magnetic fluid..."
After returning to Konoha, Satoru Hyūga counted the gains he had made during this period and immediately smiled with satisfaction.
I'm also a person with a lot of money now.
At least for a long time, I don't have to worry about money anymore.
There are still many good people in this world!
Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but sigh.
The reason he could easily play tricks on Kakuzu and the bounty guild was ultimately because of the information advantage.
He clearly understood the operating mode of the bounty guild and also knew Kakuzu's personality...
You can only shear the sheep once. This time, Kakuzu took the blame for him. If he played the same trick again, I'm afraid everyone would find it suspicious.
With so much start - up capital, the construction of the laboratory can begin.
The laboratory he had used before was the one left idle by Orochimaru.
After all, it wasn't his own, and its concealment wasn't very good. He always felt restricted when doing some secret research.
If he builds his own laboratory, there will be no problems at all.
Tenseigan plan and large - scale experiments to remove the caged bird seal can be carried out.
Satoru Hyūga's eyes turn cold.
After this war ends, he will immediately start the clan reform!
The reason he chooses the end of the war as the time point is that if he launches the reform now, it will surely cause internal and external troubles for Konoha.
It is currently a time of war. Maybe Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tanzō will regard him as an unstable element.
After all, if they know that he has already broken free from the shackles of the caged bird seal.
The Hokage's attitude towards him will definitely change.
It is like a sharp knife losing its restraint.
At that time, he might only have the option of defecting.
After the Third Shinobi World War ends, it will be a very delicate time.
Konoha is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. Its strength has been greatly reduced after the war, and it can't afford internal strife anymore.
There is a high possibility that Hiruzen Sarutobi will choose to tolerate and accept a brand - new Hyūga clan.
That is what he wants.
What he wants is reform, not defection.
Taking a deep breath, Satoru Hyūga starts to analyze the current war situation.
The Sand ninja have been completely defeated.
Without any accidents, they will need to recuperate for the next ten years to make up for the losses of this defeat.
Currently, Konoha's biggest enemies are still the Iwa ninjas and the ninjas from Kumogakure.
These two ninja villages are the strongest ones besides Konoha.
Due to geographical reasons, the most aggressive one at present is Iwagakure, which is only separated from the Land of Fire by the Grass Country.
Before the war broke out, Satoru Hyūga wiped out the enemy's vanguard troops in the Grass Country.
Although Kumogakure is overbearing, it is too far from the Land of Fire, separated by several countries.
The battlefield is also in a relatively distant location and won't affect here for the time being.
Without any accidents, the Hokage will also transfer him to the Iwa ninjas battlefield this time.
There isn't much activity on the side of Kirigakure at present. Many ninjas from the Uchiha clan have been transferred to the Kirigakure battlefield.
Satoru Hyūga guessed that it might be for the sake of balance.
The Uchiha clan is different from the Hyūga clan and is too difficult to control.
Being assigned to a remote battlefield can suppress the opponent's military achievements. Even if they make outstanding contributions, it's hard to publicize them widely.
In the original work, the famous Shisui of the Body Flicker Jutsu was only occasionally rumored about in the village. Compared with Minato and Jiraiya, his reputation was much weaker.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Satoru Hyūga received a transfer order.
He was to support the Iwa ninjas battlefield with the main force.
Before departure, he went to have a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen.
He chewed the noodles bit by bit, enjoying this hard - won tranquility.
The battle outside was raging, but this small Ichiraku Ramen shop never stopped selling ramen.
It was as if it were a different world.
Satoru Hyūga increasingly believed that the rumors about Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku were true...
He wondered if he should secretly kidnap the smiling uncle in front of him for research.
His daughter would do too.
Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded in his ear.
"Hey, it's Satoru! I didn't expect to see you here!"
He turned around.
It was Might Kai!
He sat down beside Satoru, sweating profusely and out of breath.
"Um... Kai? Didn't you go for support?"
"Yes, I just came back yesterday. I didn't want to waste time, so I did some cultivation. Satoru, you don't mind, do you?"
Might Kai wolfed down the ramen that was served.
He pointed at his sweat - soaked clothes.
"It doesn't matter." Satoru Hyūga shrugged.
"To be honest, I really can't imagine that you, Satoru, have become so powerful!"
Might Kai swallowed the ramen in his mouth and looked at Satoru Hyūga with a hint of shock.
"On our battlefield, many of our peers have been killed or injured. But you, Satoru, rumors have it that you defeated the Fourth Kazekage."
"Is it true?"
"Sort of! His ability was just restrained by mine."
Might Kai suddenly fell silent.
"Freak!"
"We all graduated in the same period. How can you be so extraordinary? Even defeating a Kazekage..."
"It seems I'm not working hard enough! After finishing this bowl of ramen, I'll do 50 handstand laps around the playground!"
Might Kai was like a man on a mission, shoveling ramen into his mouth.
Satoru Hyūga originally wanted to say that exercising right after a meal could cause stomach bloating, but seeing Kai's excited face, he swallowed the words.
"By the way, Satoru!"
Might Kai seemed to remember something. He suddenly leaned his face close to Satoru Hyūga's ear seriously and asked solemnly,
"Is there really such a thing as Male-type Magnet Release?"
Such a Mondai...
Just thinking about it...
It's so frustrating!
"Yes, I did awaken the Male-type Magnet Release!"
Satoru Hyūga looked at him seriously.
"Whoa!"
Might Kai took a deep breath.
"Sure enough, I knew your Magnet Release wasn't that simple!"
Then, he stopped dwelling on it and buried his head in his ramen again.
Satoru Hyūga, however, began to think.
His Magnet Release ability shown in this war is too terrifying. The regular Magnet Release simply can't match up to it.
Recently, he has indeed heard a lot of rumors arguing about his Magnet Release.
Should he officially define it himself?
So as to save so many ninjas from arguing.
What should it be called?
The Male-type Magnet Release doesn't seem imposing enough. The Electro Magnet Release is reasonable, but it's too straightforward...
Is it a Kekkei Genkai? Or a Bloodline Limit Elimination?
How about calling it Bloodline Limit Shame?
It'll save so much trouble!
"Hey, Satoru Hyūga, are you going to the Iwa ninjas battlefield?" Neji Hyūga suddenly asked.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Kakashi is there too!"
Neji Hyūga suddenly sighed sentimentally.
"However, he has changed so much that I can hardly recognize him."
Ever since Kakashi was publicly defeated by Satoru Hyūga last time, he has changed into a different person, no longer as extreme but even more withdrawn.
Several times when Neji Hyūga tried to strike up a conversation, Kakashi ignored him.
Ugh! It's all those stupid rumors' fault!
Kakashi is not a crybaby at all!
He never knelt down and begged for mercy from Satoru Hyūga!
He doesn't even know who started those rumors.
Neji Hyūga fumed inwardly.
Satoru Hyūga's thoughts gradually wandered off, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Has Kakashi changed a lot?
After he publicly defeated Kakashi last time, he hasn't heard any rumors about him.
It seems that his involvement has brought about some unexpected changes to Kakashi.
Interesting!
Is Obito also at the Iwa ninjas battlefield?
That future mastermind behind the scenes.
Satoru Hyūga suddenly thought that this support mission to the Iwa ninjas battlefield would be quite interesting.
