Kazuki could previously guarantee that his relationship with Rinka was that of pure and innocent good friends. Rinka was a trustworthy partner, and with her relationship, the Hyuga clan would not obstruct him from becoming Hokage in the future.
After all, in the future, Rinka is destined to become a high-ranking member of the Hyuga clan. With her mediating, the Hyuga clan will at least not become an obstacle to him.
It should be known that the relationship between the Hyuga and the Uchiha clan was not very good back then. To be precise, most clans did not have a good relationship with the Uchiha clan.
Almost no one wanted an Uchiha to become Hokage.
However, imperceptibly, a special situation seemed to have arisen between him and Rinka.
Girls develop early.
However, Rinka and Hinata are somewhat similar, He wondered if it was because of their kinship.
Or do all the girls of the Hyuga clan develop so well?
"Do you still plan to practice taijutsu after this?" Kazuki asked with a hint of curiosity.
Rinka nodded slightly and said, "The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan has an ancient and mysterious legacy. Its lower limit is very high, and its upper limit is also very high. I believe I can grow by relying on the Hyuga clan's legacy."
Rinka clearly recalled the previous situation. While injured, there was no hint of impropriety, but after the treatment ended, the situation changed.
Kazuki nodded slightly. and said, "Hmm, according to my intel, the Hyuga clan also has an ancient heritage, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' brother."
"As for the specifics, I'm not particularly clear. If you need anything, let me know anytime."
There isn't much he can do to help Rinka right now.
Unless he can encounter Toneri and obtain the Ōtsutsuki's legacy from him, he cannot help Rinka much.
The Hyuga's legacy is most suitable for Rinka.
The upper limit isn't that high, but the lower limit is truly high.
However, how to make Rinka grow to the Ōtsutsuki level is something Kazuki needs to ponder.
"Descendants of the Six Paths Sage's brother?" Rinka's eyes trembled slightly.
It seemed there was indeed such a legend within their Hyuga clan, but this legend was only fragmented. She didn't expect them to truly be related to the Sage of Six Paths.
She also wondered what strength the Six Paths Sage's brother possessed.
"The specific information isn't very clear, but it should be correct. It might be related to those special eyes." Kazuki hinted meaningfully.
Rinka nodded thoughtfully. If she thought about it carefully, it seemed truly possible. After returning to Konoha, she would have to study the clan's books more. Perhaps those legendary eyes might be related to this.
...
No one expected that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would be annihilated when ambushing Kazuki's squad. This news quickly caused a huge stir throughout the Ninja World.
Not to mention how complicated Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure were, and how much they wanted to eliminate Kazuki, the atmosphere in Kirigakure made everyone feel suppressed.
However, what surprised everyone was that the Third Mizukage did not take any action because of this.
It should be known that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were an important force under his command, yet they were annihilated by Kazuki's squad. The impact this had on the Mizukage's power was not insignificant.
Fortunately, at this time, those clans were all eager to invade the Land of Fire, plunder its land, and retaliate against Konoha. Otherwise, Kirigakure might have fallen into civil war.
Within the Land of Rivers, as the country between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, the Land of Rivers' existence seemed to be merely a buffer zone for when Konoha and Sunagakure went to war.
Currently, over 3,000 Konoha and 5,000 Suna ninjas were engaged in chaotic battle within the Land of Rivers.
Orochimaru excitedly arrived at Tsunade's tent and, seeing her studying something, asked, "Still haven't figured out the antidote?"
"Hmm, Chiyo's poison is very potent. It will take some more time to decipher it." Tsunade didn't even lift her eyelids, continuing to study the poison.
"To be honest, Chiyo's poison is even more troublesome than Hanzō's poison. Conditions on the front line are limited. If I were in Konoha, I should have already developed the antidote."
Chiyo's poison was extremely tricky, but she was not weak either. This feeling of having a fated rival made Tsunade very attentive.
"Hmm, is that so? After all, puppet jutsu requires poison to go with it." Orochimaru nodded slightly.
"Intelligence from the village reports that not long ago, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist ambushed Kazuki's squad, but were ultimately counter-killed by Kazuki. The entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were annihilated."
"What? The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were annihilated?" Tsunade immediately lost her composure.
In the past, when carrying out missions, Tsunade had fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Even she had to admit that defeating even one of them was somewhat stressful. Those individuals were all elite Jonin, and some were even top-tier elite Jonin.
Yet, even when combined, they were annihilated by Kazuki alone.
Was it an attempted encirclement that turned into being encircled instead?
Tsunade could imagine Kazuki facing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and shouting, 'The seven of you are surrounded by me.'
After all, considering the scene where Hanzō was crushed by Kazuki, it wasn't so hard to understand Kazuki annihilating the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
As expected of my disciple!
Tsunade was very proud. As for whether Kazuki would become Hokage in the future, that was not something Tsunade could control.
Anyway, she never thought of becoming Hokage. The ones who should be having headaches are Hiruzen and Orochimaru.
Her grandfather was Hokage, her granduncle was Hokage, her teacher was Hokage, and if even her disciple becomes Hokage in the future, then who could possibly compare to her?
It would make her status even more legendary.
But Orochimaru was to be pitied. His dream of becoming Hokage would likely be shattered.
However, becoming Hokage was not Orochimaru's initial dream. It was just that everyone thought he was suitable to be Hokage, and his teacher was Hokage, which is why Orochimaru was striving for the Hokage.
"Yes, those seven Ninja swords were all confiscated by Kazuki. Among them, Samehada was given to Nawaki."
"According to Kazuki, this sword is very suitable for Nawaki and can enhance his strength."
Orochimaru was very interested in Samehada. He threw a scroll to Tsunade, which Hiruzen had specifically sent them earlier.
