Chapter 158 Let me tell you a story
Seeing Neji's shocked expression and his continued inability to accept his point of view, An continued to use his own experience to illustrate his point.
"Resistance without bloodshed and sacrifice is nothing but children's games."
"You'll make those who bully you feel pain too!"
"Look how I'm getting my revenge on Konoha!"
"I, Uchiha An, deserve some credit for how Konoha has become what it is today!"
"Once the main family is wiped out, there will be no distinction between the main family and the branch family. You will then be free, and your descendants will no longer be burdened with the curse of being 'caged birds'!"
The last sentence finally touched Neji's heart. He lowered his head and murmured, repeating An's words.
"Once all the members of the main family are dead, there will naturally be no difference between the main family and the branch family —"
"That's right, once everyone in the main family is dead, there will be no difference between the main family and the branch families!"
Seeing the murderous intent finally appear in Neji's eyes, An was pleased and continued to urge him, "Neji, you are too weak and alone. It won't be easy for you to wipe out the main family."
"You should unite the forces of all the branch families and have them join you in overthrowing the main family's rule!"
"Unite all the branch families—" Now Neji was facing a dilemma again. "I'm afraid the branch families aren't that united!"
"Then you should first observe and find those who resent the main family the most, win them over, form your own organization, and then gradually assassinate those lackeys who are biased towards the main family, expanding your own power little by little. Finally, launch a decisive battle and wipe out the main family in one fell swoop."
To strengthen Neji's resolve, An smiled and said, "Hey, Neji, let me tell you a story!"
"Do you know?"
"The Hyuga clan also lives on the moon."
An recounted the story of the Otsutsuki main family and branch families on the moon to Neji, emphasizing that in order to defeat the main family, the branch family merged the eyes of all the branch families together to create a giant "Tenseigan," which ultimately destroyed the main family.
However, he changed the core of the conflict, transforming the difference in their attitudes toward the ninja world into a story of the main family oppressing the branch family, forcing the branch family to rebel.
It's just artistic embellishment anyway!
Not many sentences were changed!
Neji became excited upon hearing this.
"So the Tenseigan really does exist!"
"The Caged Bird Seal was indeed specially developed to gather the Tenseigan!"
"It's laughable that those main families deceived us branch families, saying it was for our protection!"
"This is absolutely shameless!"
"If the branch family on the moon can do it, then our branch family in the ninja world can certainly do it too!"
"If the branch families on the moon can fuse together to create the Tenseigan, then our branch families in the ninja world can certainly fuse together to create their own Tenseigan!"
"Well said!" An also clapped, applauding Neji's determination.
"To ensure your success, I'll give you another insurance. Here, keep this scroll. Study it carefully when you get back; you'll definitely need it in the future."
An pulled a scroll from her person, stuffed it into Neji's arms, then put her arms around Neji's neck, called him aside, and explained her speculation to him in detail, which made Neji very happy.
"Lord An, thank you so much!"
Neji prostrated himself before An and paid homage with full respect.
"The Hyuga branch family will forever remember Lord An's kindness!"
"Haha, that's not necessary. It's all just my guess, and maybe I'm wrong!" An laughed and waved his hand. "As you know, I have a deep-seated hatred for Konoha. If your Hyuga branch family really overthrows the main family, then we may not be friends in the future."
"No, Lord An, please rest assured!" Neji placed his right hand on his chest and solemnly promised, "Once our uprising succeeds, the Hyuga branch family will absolutely not oppose Lord An."
"Furthermore, the fact that the Hyuga main family has been able to enslave our branch family for so many years is inseparable from the support and tacit approval of Konoha Village."
"Since even the entire main clan is to be overthrown, then these accomplices of Konoha Village must also pay a heavy price!"
"Lord An, I think the Land of Rain is actually quite nice, and it would be a good place for the Hyuga branch family to develop their careers."
"Haha, that's wonderful, you're most welcome!"
This made Koyasu even happier, and he immediately made a decision for Nagato.
Whether Nagato agrees or not is not important. If things don't work out, they can go to other places to develop their careers, which is perfectly fine.
Fearing that Neji might be in danger, An healed all of Neji's injuries, gave him the three ninja tools she had previously stolen, and left him a large amount of explosive tags, food, medicine, and other supplies.
This naturally made Neji even more grateful.
After explaining everything, An watched Neji leave before starting to clean up the battlefield, destroying all the corpses and leaving no trace to prevent any trouble for Neji.
After packing up, he set off again with Shukaku.
However, this time he didn't head towards Konoha Village, but instead turned and headed towards Otogakure.
He was terrified that his presence on the battlefield would escalate the conflict and cause Neji, this newborn seedling, to perish unexpectedly, which would render all his efforts futile.
So he simply went directly to Orochimaru and then returned to the Land of Rain to complete the mission.
In the underground base of Otogakure in the Land of Fields.
Orochimaru was conducting an experiment when a boy with an onion-shaped head knocked on the door and entered.
"Lord Orochimaru, intelligence indicates that Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, is heading towards the Land of Rice Fields."
"Hmm?" Orochimaru's hand paused, a strange expression appearing on his face. "Are you talking about the One-Tailed Jinchuriki? Or the Tailed Beast Shukaku?"
"It's the tailed beast Shukaku, in its original form. It's traveled all the way from the Land of Wind, across the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire, and will soon reach the Land of Rice Fields."
"That guy An!" Orochimaru cursed angrily, stopping his experiment and starting to pack up and leave.
"An? Lord Orochimaru, are you referring to Lord Uchiha An?"
Upon hearing Ann's name, Onion Head immediately became excited, his eyes lighting up.
He followed closely behind Orochimaru, repeatedly asking, "Is Lord An also coming here?"
"Will he be doing experiments here too?"
"Will I be able to work with Lord An in the future?"
"Lord Orochimaru, I greatly admire Lord An. Could he perhaps give me his autograph?"
"Can I ask him for his Sharingan?"
Orochimaru had nothing to say about Onion Head, this die-hard Uchiha fan.
If it weren't for his special physique, making him a valuable experimental subject, Orochimaru would have sold this guy to An long ago.
"Alright, I'll arrange for you to meet when I have the chance, but not now."
"While I'm gone, you should study cloning-related knowledge carefully."
"Useless people have no value. You must become a useful person so that you can meet An in the future."
"If you perform well, you might even become a true Uchiha in the future."
Orochimaru casually painted a rosy picture for Onion Boy, but Onion Boy completely believed him, immediately becoming highly motivated and raising his hands in a cheer, "Great!"
"I will become a true Uchiha!"
"Lord Orochimaru, please rest assured, I will definitely study cloning technology diligently and become a useful assistant to Lord Orochimaru and Lord An in the future!"
