"I'm prepared... to give these eyes to Hinata. Hanabi, Shion, what do you two think?"
After pondering for a moment, as if responding to the girl's expectations, and also after careful consideration of the actual situation, Kusuo finally made this decision. In fact, this plan had already been made on his way to the Hidden Rain Village to find Pain.
Hanabi's eyes sparkled. Shion also looked at Hinata with a blessing in her eyes. Faced with Kusuo's decision, neither of them showed any sign of dissatisfaction.
This scene... gave Kusuo a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He had obtained these eyes with great difficulty, so logically, he had the right to dispose of them. But the three girls before him were the apples of his eye; they had abandoned everything to follow him. Shion had even given up her status as the priestess who ruled over the entire Land of Demons to seek refuge with him. If he acted with male chauvinism and only thought of himself, it would be too selfish.
"That's great, Big Sister! Those are the eyes of a sage!" Happy for her older sister, Hanabi looked at the light purple Rinnegan in Kusuo's hand with envy. Her eyes were also filled with a lot of curiosity, her round black eyes wide. Compared to the Byakugan and the Sharingan... what's so special about the Rinnegan? She wanted to see what was so special about it.
So, Kusuo smiled and directly handed the container with the Rinnegan to Hanabi.
"This decision is something I had already thought of a long time ago," Kusuo said, clearing his throat as he handed the Rinnegan to Hanabi for her to observe closely.
"First of all, there's something to be said about the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths. He and his younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, were both the children of the ancestor of chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki. They were twins. Therefore, Hinata and Hanabi naturally have the blood of the Otsutsuki. Although it has been diluted over a thousand years of inheritance, they still have the advantage of their ancestry."
"Secondly, the purity of Hinata's Byakugan is quite high, even higher than Hanabi's. This point further illustrates that she is more suitable to bear these eyes."
These words were said for Hinata to hear, and also for Shion to hear. The three girls' mouths opened slightly. For a moment, they couldn't quite digest the vast amount of information contained in Kusuo's words just now.
This... the Sage of Six Paths' twin brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, is our ancestor? The relationship is so complicated. Hinata and Hanabi were first stunned, then realized that the Tenseigan was very likely born from this ancestor.
Shion was even more shocked. For generations, she had followed her mother, Miroku, guarding the Land of Demons and suppressing the monster from another dimension, Mōryō. She didn't pay much attention to news from the ninja world. To hear the story from a thousand years ago for the first time was both interesting and carried a kind of sublime shock.
"So, our world originated from a woman named Kaguya Otsutsuki." This was the common thought of the three girls.
Kusuo gave them time to slowly digest it, leisurely drinking his tea. When Hinata, Shion, and Hanabi had more or less recovered, he spoke again, "Of course, these eyes were later nurtured by a member of the Uzumaki clan, so their temperament is not so violent. But the rejection from the host will definitely still be quite strong. This point, I hope you can be prepared for, Hinata."
Kusuo stared into Hinata's large, pure white eyes and saw the determination in them.
In the current ninja world, if one were to say who was more suitable to receive these eyes, it would be none other than that show-off, Sasuke. Unfortunately, Sasuke was now in Orochimaru's hands, having defected for three or four years. With his own existence, the village couldn't even be bothered with him. Only Naruto was still persistently pursuing him. As the reincarnation of Indra Otsutsuki, Sasuke and Madara had a deeper connection than just blood ties. For him to use these eyes... the effect would even be countless times better than Nagato's.
Next would be the Uchiha clan members who had opened the Mangekyo, like Obito and Itachi. No matter what, their bloodline was closer to Madara's, and their own strength was excellent enough. Further down the line were the Uzumaki, Hyuga, and Senju clans.
But no matter what, with Shion's help, even if Hinata couldn't control this power for the time being, sealing it up would not be a problem. What's more, with the enhancement of the breathing method, Hinata's physical fitness could no longer be measured by common sense.
"Don't worry, Kusuo. I've made all the preparations!" Hinata's pretty face was filled with determination. This serious attitude... Kusuo could always see it whenever she wanted to become stronger.
"Alright!" Kusuo was a decisive person. Since the decision had been made and the necessary information had been disclosed to them, there wasn't much else to dawdle on.
"You all wait for me here. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back."
Hanabi promptly handed the Rinnegan container back to Kusuo, and then the three girls stayed at home, quietly waiting for his return.
After leaving the house, Kusuo headed straight for the ANBU base. He moved with the speed of lightning. Many of the villagers on the street had just caught a glimpse of a red figure, and before they could confirm if it was Lord Kusuo, he had vanished from sight.
Soon, he arrived at the ANBU base building. The upper floors were just ordinary office spaces; the main part was still underground.
"ANBU restricted area! Unauthorized personnel are forbidden from trespassing!" Just as Kusuo was about to walk in, someone jumped out from the doorway to block him.
He looked up at this young ninja wearing an ANBU animal mask. "I have urgent business. Don't block my way."
"I said, this is the ANBU. No one can break in without authorization!" The young ANBU ninja must have been on missions outside for many years and had been specially transferred into the ANBU because of the war. Therefore, his work was serious, and he did things by the book. The key was... he didn't recognize Kusuo.
"What are you doing? Get the hell out of my way!"
"Lord Kusuo is here? Please, come in!"
Just then, another older ANBU ninja walked out from the dark corridor inside the door. He kicked the young ninja's leg and reprimanded him.
Under the resentful gaze of the young ANBU, Kusuo walked in indifferently. Tsunade wasn't in the village. He had no way of getting a written order. Fortunately, there were still plenty of people in the ANBU who recognized him.
After he had walked far away... "Captain, who was that person? Why did you look so nervous?" the young ANBU asked, feeling wronged. His captain, who was usually very good to him, had actually kicked him for an unruly outsider.
"Heh, I told you a long time ago that when you've just been integrated into the village, you need to ask for more information and pay more attention to current events. You don't even recognize Lord Kusuo. I'm afraid if I had come a little later, you would have lost your life here."
"Lord Kusuo?! The powerhouse who single-handedly annihilated Lord Danzo's Root?"
"And who single-handedly slaughtered the Sand Village, thrashed the One-Tail, and..."
The young ANBU was dumbfounded. His whole body was instantly drenched in sweat. Such a ruthless person... and he had actually dared to block him at the door just now?
