Chapter 67 Planning for Profits!
Soon, Minato and his wife also noticed Takuno's strange behavior, immediately understood, smiled awkwardly, and then also began to eat heartily.
After the meal, the group didn't waste any time and began studying the terrain outside Konoha Village in order to calculate how to make the barrier most perfect.
There were times when they argued with each other, but more often than not, they had surprisingly similar ideas.
However, Kushina Uzumaki did not participate in the discussion for too long. She was approaching the stage of childbearing, so she was easily fatigued and went to rest first.
The only ones left to discuss here are Minato Namikaze and Takuno Minamoto.
The sky soon darkened completely during their discussion.
"That's all for today, thank you for your hard work, senior." Minato Namikaze glanced at the sky and said apologetically.
"Okay." Yuan Tuoye nodded and said, "Then I'll come directly tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your help, senpai," Minato Namikaze said gratefully.
Then, Minato Namikaze watched Takuno Minamoto's departing figure, glanced at the scroll on the table, and smiled.
Having someone to help definitely made things much faster.
If he were to survey the terrain and set up the barrier by himself, he could do it, but it wouldn't be as precise.
He glanced at the moonlight outside the window. He would set up the most perfect barrier he had ever created, for him, for her, and for the village.
However, Minato Namikaze was also thinking about how to reward Takuno Minamoto after this setup was completed. The other party would probably have to work overtime for several days in a row because of him, and the task of setting up the barrier would also need to be entrusted to him later.
He himself would only go over to check it out at the very end.
The best reward for Gen Takuno would naturally be a sealing technique, but given his level, there aren't many sealing techniques that he could offer as a reward.
Perhaps the final Four Symbols Seal would be useful to Yuan Tuoye, but as the highest-level sealing technique and a foundational skill of the Uzumaki clan, it is not very suitable as a reward.
What else is there besides that?
Minato Namikaze was having a bit of a headache. Should he help the other person improve their position? But given the other person's personality, they didn't seem to care about such things.
Finally, he sighed. What suited the other person couldn't be a reward, and what didn't suit them wouldn't be something they liked.
It's really hard.
Or perhaps we should hold off on rewarding them for now, and wait until they have accumulated enough merit before rewarding them?
Minato Namikaze was deep in thought.
On the other side, Gen Takuno walked on the Konoha road in the dark night, his body bathed in the pure white moonlight.
His attention was no longer on the road beneath his feet, but on Kushina's impending childbirth.
He had been keeping an eye on the timing of the other party's birth, but there had been quite a few things going on lately. Although he couldn't possibly miss this opportunity, he wasn't fully prepared to face it. If Naruto Uzumaki was to be born, then Sasuke Uchiha should have already been born by now.
He didn't want to mess with these two people casually, as their bodies contained the chakra reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, making them, in a sense, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra.
While the Sage of Six Paths might not care as long as these two don't continue reincarnating, what if? What if he wants to end the feud between Indra and Ashura in this lifetime?
Therefore, it's best to avoid these two if possible.
However, Yuan Tuoye thought about it again and realized that he still needed to try. He needed to obtain the cells of these two people.
Because if he wants to awaken the Rinnegan, he needs the chakra of Ashura and Indra to combine.
Hashirama Senju was also the reincarnation of Ashura, but Ashura's chakra was reincarnated once again.
However, the opponent's chakra should also contain Ashura's chakra.
After Madara Uchiha was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he once again awakened the Rinnegan using his own chakra and the chakra extracted from Hashirama Senju's cells.
Therefore, it should be feasible to avoid transplanting Naruto's cells, but obtaining Naruto's and Sasuke's cells would be a form of insurance.
There shouldn't be any problems if he just takes a small amount of the other person's cells and clones them himself, right?
Thinking this, Yuan Tuoye returned to his home, sat in his familiar seat, and tapped his fingers slowly on the table.
Minato Namikaze wouldn't allow him to do whatever he wanted with the barrier setup, so he only needed to set it up according to the agreed-upon plan and then have Minato Namikaze inspect it.
Basically, there's no way to leave any backdoors, nor is there any need to leave any.
When Kushina Uzumaki gave birth, only some Anbu members and the Third Hokage's wife, Biwako Sarutobi, died.
The other person was inside as a midwife, and then Obito Uchiha ripped out their heart.
However, none of this mattered to Minamoto no Takuya. Even Sarutobi Biwako was just an ordinary ninja without a bloodline limit.
He doesn't need to make any special arrangements for this.
The important question is what he could do after Obito summoned the Nine-Tails to Konoha.
At that time, the entire village of Konoha would be focused on Kurama (the Nine-Tails), leaving other areas virtually undefended, or even nonexistent.
And that is Gen Takuno's opportunity.
What he needs to obtain from Konoha right now is Yamato, but forget about it; Yamato won't appear during the Nine-Tails' attack.
The entire root will curl up to preserve its strength.
It is estimated that Danzo Shimura also thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He thought that once Minato Namikaze died, he would have a chance to take the Hokage position. Unfortunately, he did not expect that even after the Third Hokage returned to power, he would not hand over the Hokage position to him.
It was during this experience that he came to understand something, which is why he sent Yamato to assassinate the Third Hokage. However, the assassination failed, and the Third Hokage even managed to take Yamato away from him.
It can be described as trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
Gen Takuya shook his head. Capturing Yamato during the Nine-Tails' rampage would require investigating the other party's location, which was unrealistic.
Besides Yamato, he also needs Orochimaru's research data and some techniques.
This is even more difficult. After Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, the other party basically stayed in the laboratory. Although he did not oppose Minato's position as Hokage, he would not obey his orders.
Like Danzo Shimura, he was completely uninvolved in the Nine-Tails' rampage, and may not have even left the laboratory.
And if he wants to deal with Orochimaru now—
Gen Takuno calculated his own strength and Orochimaru's strength, feeling a bit of a headache.
Orochimaru's strength is difficult to assess.
The opponent's strength was such that he was able to join forces with Tsunade and Jiraiya to fight against the demigod Hanzo more than a decade ago, and thus he was hailed as one of the Legendary Sannin.
More than a decade later, without using the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the First and Second Hokage, his own strength didn't demonstrate any particular advantage.
Their strength is perhaps only uncertain, comparable to that of the third generation of the elderly.
So, at the point in between these two times, just how strong was Orochimaru?
However, there's no doubt that the opponent is at least a Kage-level being. The question is, what stage of Kage-level is the opponent at? Newcomer to Kage? Standard Kage? Or a powerful Kage?
As for the peak of the Kage level, that's impossible. That's the level of Sage Jiraiya. Even by the end of the series, Orochimaru might not have reached that level.
Yuan Tuoye rubbed his head, somewhat confused about the opponent's strength.
After unlocking Wind Release: Rasengan, his strength is sufficient to reach the initial Kage level.
He was actually quite satisfied with his own strength. In just over a year, he had jumped from a special Jonin to the level of a newly initiated Kage, which was quite fast.
He knew that his strength had improved so quickly because of the accumulation he had made in the previous years, when the only thing limiting his strength was his chakra reserves.
After this fatal flaw was resolved, his strength skyrocketed to the level of Jonin, and even became that of an elite Jonin.
Now, after further improvements in ninjutsu and physical condition, he has reached the Kage level, but that's all.
It's almost impossible for him to replicate the speed at which he grew stronger this year. The sprint period is over, and he will enter a stable period next, where growth will slow down considerably.
But it's definitely much better than having no hope of becoming stronger at all when I didn't obtain the Oni-Garuru technique.
After roughly calculating his own strength, Gen Takuno shook his head. He decided against it, as it would be very difficult for him to deal with Orochimaru with his current strength.
To obtain research data from the other party, one must be far superior in strength to have any chance.
He certainly can't reach that level right now.
Moreover, he now prefers to capture a member of the Hyuga main family as material for the Oni-Gera technique, so the other party's research data is not necessary.
Of course, he would still want it if given the chance. It was the research data of the greatest inventor in Naruto, and who knows what special things it contained.
As for the Hyuga clan, those who came out to stop Kurama were probably from the branch family, while the main Hyuga clan members were likely still within the clan or even hiding in a safe place.
"So, all I got from the Nine-Tails' rampage was the Nine-Tails' chakra I obtained by saving Minato Namikaze and the Four Symbols Seal?"
Gen Takuno closed his eyes. Even with the promotion he received after saving Minato Namikaze, the benefits of such a huge incident still seemed unsatisfactory.
"I guess I still have to give it a try," Minamoto Takuno murmured, looking towards the location of the Hyuga clan.
Although the main Hyuga family will not go out to stop the Nine-Tails, they will definitely send branch families to help stop the Nine-Tails and evacuate the people.
At this time, the Hyuga clan's defenses were quite weak, and the Hyuga clan did not show strong combat power in the original work. There may be many elite Jonin, but there was not a single Kage-level.
The only one mentioned, Hyuga Tennin, is from a very early period; it's either a misrepresentation or he's likely already dead.
Gen Takuno frowned. All that remained was to determine the location of the Hyuga main family, but with his limited authority, it was impossible for him to access the Hyuga main family's information.
We can only identify them when we actually infiltrate them.
However, the Hyuga main family is not difficult to identify. They all have one characteristic: they do not have the Caged Bird Seal on their foreheads.
So, either to show off or to distinguish themselves from those who have separated from the family, their foreheads are usually exposed.
Of course, if you can't find one, you could also capture a member of the Hyuga clan who hasn't awakened their Sharingan yet.
Even when the Hyuga clan splits up, they don't immediately carve the Caged Bird Seal when the children are young; instead, they wait until they are three or four years old.
Furthermore, the Hyuga clan is relatively closed off, and intermarriage within the clan is generally practiced, which ensures the purity of their bloodline.
Just like Hyuga Hiashi is the Hyuga with the purest bloodline, while his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi is a member of the branch family, does that mean Hyuga Hizashi's bloodline is not pure?
Obviously not. As long as those who have separated from the family do not intermarry with outsiders, the purity of their bloodline can be guaranteed.
However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it is best to find a suitable head of household or child from the main residence.
As for the Byakugan being as pure as Hinata's, it doesn't matter. He doesn't want to be in Konoha with a Byakugan, which would be like telling others that he gouged out the eyes of the Hyuga clan.
Furthermore, it's uncertain whether the Byakugan and Sharingan can be fused together.
Even Kaguya Otsutsuki's Byakugan and Rinne Sharingan were separate.
Therefore, even when using the Oni-Garuru technique for fusion, he would deliberately avoid his eyes, and only need to perform surgery to replace the external parts when he needed to use it.
As for the size of the other person's eyes? Although human eyes do grow, the changes are very small. They are about the same size as when the child is three or four years old, so there is no need to worry about the eyes being unsuitable.
Originally, Gen Takuno planned to take action when the Cloud Ninja kidnapped Hinata Hyuga, but now that he has saved Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, the future course of events has changed too much.
It's uncertain whether that thing will happen again.
Therefore, the Nine-Tails' rampage was his best opportunity.
If we could obtain the bloodline of the Hyuga clan that didn't bear the Caged Bird inscription, the gains would be quite good.
Yuan Tuoye was finally somewhat satisfied and began to relax, continuing to think randomly about whatever came to mind. Besides the Hyuga clan's bloodline, what else was there?
Then, his body suddenly stopped.
There was a ninjutsu in the Book of Seals that he had been eyeing for a long time. Originally, he wanted to use his merits to exchange for the ninjutsu with Minato Namikaze, so he hadn't given this much thought.
But now, perhaps he can make a complete copy of the Book of Seals?
The Nine-Tails' rampage drew away the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and most of Konoha's fighting force, leaving very little power to protect the Scroll of Seals.
Of course, the other party must have had the means to notify someone to invade and seize the Book of Seals, but at this point, who would care about the Book of Seals?
Which is more important, the Book of Seals or the safety of Konoha Village?
Neither Minato Namikaze nor the Third Hokage would return at this time after receiving this notification!
Currently, only Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru have the time and ability to act, and these two—no matter what—
The guards couldn't possibly notify them.
Thinking about it this way, if he could obtain the forbidden ninjutsu from the Book of Seals, he would really hit the jackpot!
Compared to the Book of Seals, the importance of the Hyuga bloodline can be relegated to the back of the table!
After all, the Hyuga bloodline can still find a way in the future, but this may be the best chance to obtain the Book of Seals!
Of course, it would be even better if we could get both!
