Chapter 218 - The Man Behind the Scenes

"Oh, by the way, Hanaku is coming to Konoha next month. You haven't met him yet, have you? I'll introduce you two." Mito said to Kazuki, seemingly having thought of something.

"Hanaku?" Kazuki nodded thoughtfully.

Hanaku didn't have a surname, to be precise, his surname was Senju. He was the son of Hashirama and Mito, and the father of Tsunade and Nawaki. However, thirty years ago, he went to the Daimyo's mansion, and to avoid suspicion, he never returned to Konoha, even during holidays.

Hanaku had returned to Konoha before, but at that time, Kazuki was on the front line and missed him by chance.

"Yes, knowing Hanaku will benefit both of you."

Mito paused and continued, "You will become Hokage sooner or later, and through Hanaku, you can get some information from the Daimyo's Mansion."

"Of course, you shouldn't have too high expectations. Since that part of the Senju Clan joined the Daimyo's Mansion, it's impossible for them to reveal overly important information to you. Once they do that, the Daimyo's Mansion will not tolerate them."

Kazuki nodded in understanding and said, "But, at the end of the day, they are still the Senju Clan, aren't they?"

"Actually, I'm very curious, what exactly is the Daimyo's trump card?" Kazuki then asked Mito.

As a living fossil of the Ninja World, Mito knew far more than ordinary people. Moreover, the Uzumaki clan had once dared to establish their own country, defying the world. This matter must have touched the Daumyo's bottom line and deepest fears. The Uzumaki clan was indeed a prestigious clan in the Ninja World, but they were ultimately different from the Daimyos.

What is your status, what is our status?

Mere ninjas, do you really want to usurp the host's place?

This was something the Daimyos could not accept.

If ninjas found out they could do this, how could they remain high and mighty?

It could be said that the Uzumaki clan was digging at the Daimyos' roots. When Hashirama was still alive, they could somewhat give Hashirama face, but with Hashirama gone, the Uzumaki clan was doomed.

Upon hearing this, a fleeting sharpness flashed in Mito's eyes.

She pondered for a moment before speaking, "Actually, I'm not very clear either. I heard Tobirama mention that the Daimyo's trump card is very strong. Once, a Uchiha wanted to challenge the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, but was killed by a golden light descending from the sky."

"The strength of that Uchiha probably surpassed the Kage level, and perhaps was not necessarily weaker than Madara back then."

"There are many hidden strong individuals in the Ninja World, and you will need to be extremely careful in the future."

"Your current strength already surpasses that of Hashirama and Madara back then, but you still need to be wary of hidden enemies. They are the most lethal. Once they make a move, it could be a fight to the death with you."

"Light descending from the sky? Is it the Tenseigan?" Kazuki frowned.

In front of Mito, he no longer pretended or explained why he knew so much. He just knew, and Mito wouldn't dig into the root of it. The old and the young maintained their mutual understanding. However, this made Kazuki trust Mito greatly.

"Tenseigan?" Mito raised an eyebrow.

This was an unheard-of eye, but from the name, it sounded very advanced. Also, the Sage of Six Paths's eye is the Rinnegan. The Tenseigan seems to be related to the Rinnegan.

Rinnegan, Tenseigan, could it be that these two pairs of eyes are corresponding?

Or is it that the Sage of Six Paths also had enemies, and the Rinnegan and Tenseigan are a pair of opposing eyes, with the Tenseigan being the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths's opponent?

This is not impossible. The Ninja World emphasizes destiny. The longer one lives, the more one understands, and the more secrets one uncovers. The more they understand that the so-called destiny is not baseless nonsense.

Just like Asura and Indra, Madara and Hashirama.

"The Tenseigan is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths's brother, an eye on the same level as the Rinnegan. It's just that this eye is too difficult to evolve, and a second pair has never appeared in the Ninja World, so everyone just doesn't know."

Kazuki then softly added, "However, the Hyuga clan can barely use this power, but the backlash is significant."

"Hyuga clan? Is the Hyuga clan a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths's brother?" Mito quickly grasped the key information and asked curiously.

It wasn't that she wanted to use this information for anything, but purely out of curiosity.

"Yes, the Sage of Six Paths's name is Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and his brother is Ōtsutsuki Hamura. After they sealed their mother, the Rabbit Goddess Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, and the Ten-Tails, Hamura led his descendants to the moon to accompany his sealed mother, also guarding his mother's seal." Kazuki explained, carefully choosing his words.

"Ōtsutsuki Hamura, Hagoromo, Kaguya, Ten-Tails? So the Rabbit Goddess really exists? And she's the Sage of Six Paths's mother? I used to wonder what kind of god the Rabbit Goddess was, after all, in the legends, the Rabbit Goddess was a god who saved the world. Since she is the Sage of Six Paths's mother, why would the Sage of Six Paths seal his own mother?"

Mito was stunned, listening to the Sage of Six Paths's gossip seemed quite interesting.

As for the Hyuga clan's Tenseigan power, she had already guessed a thing or two.

During the Sengoku era, the Hyuga clan had unleashed a corresponding power. However, after using that power, that Hyuga clansman died not long after. Thus, it seems that they could forcibly use the Tenseigan's power, but their bodies couldn't withstand the Tenseigan's power, resulting in backlash and death.

This was a very normal thing. It wasn't as if no one had tried to transplant a Sharingan to themselves before, but before the Uchiha clan could issue a bounty to hunt those people down, they were drained of Chakra and life force by the Sharingan.

Tobirama had suspected that ordinary people simply couldn't withstand the Sharingan.

Kazuki thought of the plug-and-play Sharingan of the future, feeling somewhat silent.

It seemed those people were also from the Uchiha clan, right?

The reason Kakashi could use the Sharingan might be related to Obito's willingness to give the Sharingan to Kakashi. This was an accident, no outsider had used the Sharingan before. This made certain people covet the Sharingan.

As for Danzo, it was due to the Hashirama cells.
