Mizuki could understand that the Hyuga family was willing to support him to become Hokage.

"Does the Hyuga family intend to give up the caged bird?"

"Mizuki Jonin is really sharp! The head of the family has this idea, but has not made a final decision yet!"

Hyuga Kamon confirmed Mizuki's guess.

"I would like to thank Mizuki Jonin for his assistance with the caged bird matter. Please take care of me in the future."

“You’re welcome!”

Over the past six months, this mutually beneficial relationship has continued, and we have often looked after each other, and have built some trust.

As the leader of the Hyuga family's involvement in village affairs, it is normal for Hyuga Karakado to know some secrets of Mizuki and the Hyuga family.

"This is not the place to discuss in detail. We'll keep in touch later." Shuimu waved his hand to signal a pause. "The position of Hokage is a matter of great importance. Please allow me to think carefully. I will visit the head of the Hyuga clan soon..."

"You are most welcome!"

Next, the two of them turned their attention back to the task at hand.

Mizuki glanced at the silent Neji, who was meticulously maintaining order off the field under the command of Tekuno, and Mizuki couldn't help but sigh.

"The bird in the cage, is it going to be terminated early?"

In the original work, when the Hyuga family abolished the tradition of keeping birds in cages, the main Hyuga family had a son-in-law who was Hokage, and the ninja world was still relatively peaceful. Even though they had lost the united and self-defensive Hyuga family, its members were still the cornerstone of Konoha, and no one dared to provoke them.

But now, because of Mizuki, the main family and the branch family had to put this matter on the agenda in advance because they found that the caged bird was a hidden danger for the entire family. So what should the Hyuga family do? The Byakugan is not as difficult to open as the Uchiha family's Sharingan.

The Hyuga family in the war relied on the cruelty of the caged bird and the twisted unity to scare away those who coveted it. Once they lost the restraints of the caged bird, how could they maintain the glory of the Hyuga family?

"A member of the village, doing his best? No wonder he is so active in promoting the existence of the Hyuga family, so that's what's going on!"

If the caged bird is abandoned and the main family and branch family are integrated, then the Hyuga family will inevitably become an ordinary ninja family, even if it is much larger and stronger. The previous isolation policy is undoubtedly outdated, and it is necessary to actively integrate into the village to seek shelter and minimize the danger brought about by the drastic changes in the family.

After all, the ninja world is not very peaceful now. If you want to protect your family more safely, what is more reliable than the protection of the Hokage? The Hyuga family has no suitable candidate for the election of Hokage now, and it seems that there will be no hope in a few years. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best strategy to exert your influence and recommend a Hokage who is friendly to the Hyuga family!

"Political speculation, these big families are really good at it without any guidance, even the corrupt Hyuga family is so proficient in it!"

Mizuki smiled in his heart, if there was no such thing as Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection, Mizuki might really be tempted. Now, let's put this matter aside for now!

If he agreed, it would undoubtedly be inappropriate; if he refused directly, it might cause grudges between the Hyuga family and Mizuki; if he let nature take its course, when the ninja world undergoes a major change, not many people would care about these things.

…

The experimental subject in front of him once again lost all its vitality and turned into a pile of completely dead flesh.

Although the experiment failed again, and there was basically no progress during this period except wasting his time, this time, Orochimaru did not show any unhappiness, but instead showed a very interested smile.

"That idiot Danzo actually gave this thing to me like that. He has no idea what this means!"

As if sensing that Orochimaru was in a good mood, Kabuto Yakushi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is it valuable, Lord Orochimaru?"

"Dou, you have to understand that when the unknown of this world is revealed before your eyes, it is the most pleasing moment."

Orochimaru stuck out his strangely long tongue and licked his lips, which were a little dry from staying underground for a long time doing experiments.

"This cell sample has overturned previous understandings of human experiments. It is a brand new technology. Organ transplantation, cell cultivation, puppet making, these superficial things are completely incomparable to it. The original biotechnology was so superficial. What it did was the same as a gardener's, grafting, cultivation, pruning, although the difficulty was different, the essence was the same."

"But this cell sample is different. It was not until now that I realized that the person who created this cell had literally stolen the authority of the Creator."

"Creator?" Yakushi Kabuto was shocked. "How could he be praised so highly?"

Orochimaru ignored the mess left by the failed experiment and glanced at the incredulous Kabuto Yakushi.

"Experimental technology and means of saving lives are not the same thing. Since it was used to save Moonlight Gale's life, it means that this technology is extremely mature and has complete theoretical and experimental data support. Otherwise, it would not be used as a medical method. Further speculation is that there may be less mature but more advanced technologies. This possibility is quite high."

"Since it's so clever, Lord Orochimaru can try to crack it..."

"Too slow, this is a complete set of technical theories, I can't wait..."

Orochimaru said with his strange vertical pupils staring at the somewhat uneasy Kabuto Yakushi.

"What do I need to pay to get this technology from Shuimu?"

Kabuto Yakushi had never felt as nervous as he did this time. He originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but looking at Orochimaru's serious attitude, Kabuto Yakushi knew that if he dared to play dumb, he would be killed without hesitation.

"There is another secret technique called reincarnation that I don't know if it exists!"

"What is it?"

Orochimaru doesn't care much about secret techniques. As long as they don't threaten him after they are revealed, it doesn't matter. It's better to say that after they are revealed, there will be more objects for him to observe.

"Yakita no Jutsu!"

"What?" This answer surprised Orochimaru, "Did you hear the name of this technique from Mizuki?"

"Yes!" At this time, Pharmacist Kabuto dared not hide anything.

"This is really unexpected. I thought another remarkable person had appeared in the village, but I didn't expect that he would be more interesting than I thought."

"Okay, Kabuto, don't be nervous, tell me about what happened between you and Mizuki. I've suddenly become quite interested!"

After carefully organizing his thoughts, Yakushi Kabuto recounted every detail of his transaction with Mizuki...
