i am kimimaro

Hiashi's dissatisfaction in his words surprised Kimimaro.

He didn't expect the high-ranking Hyuga patriarch to have such resentment.

Back then, Hiashi had just become the head of the Hyuga clan and didn't have enough say. He could only watch his younger brother die for him, which planted a seed in his heart.

The Third Hokage's inaction and the stubborn elders in the clan made Hiashi very angry.

But what could he do?

At that time, he couldn't do anything.

But now, he can have his own choice.

He has secured the position of the Hyuga patriarch.

But to carry out reforms, the Caged Bird Seal must first be broken.

This step directly stumped Hiashi Hyuga.

He simply didn't have the ability.

After years of research, there was no progress.

It wasn't until five years ago when the Kaguya clan asked him for help that he remembered the half stone tablet.

But at that time, there was no one in the Kaguya clan who could help him unlock the secrets on the stone tablet.

They were just a group of women, children, and elderly people who had fled.

So Hiashi could only suppress this thought.

It wasn't until he saw Kimimaro that this thought became active again.

The one who was called the strongest bloodline of the Kaguya clan in hundreds of years definitely had the qualifications to unlock the stone tablet.

He didn't tell Kimimaro in Konoha, firstly because he was afraid he wouldn't agree, and secondly, he was afraid of leaking the news.

But here, he wasn't afraid to say it.

Whether Kimimaro agreed or not, he had to do this.

It was time to show his cards.

After listening to Hiashi's story, Kimimaro knew he had been calculated by the other party.

However, he didn't mind.

He even had a bit more好感towards this Hyuga patriarch.

Because he still had some blood in him.

"I see. But where is that half of the stone tablet, do you know?"

Hiashi frowned slightly and looked at Taketoshi Kozue who was still awake in the distance.

"The Kaguya clan encountered an attack from the Mist Anbu, which I never expected. But if Kaguya Aoi really placed the hope of the Kaguya on these people, they should know the whereabouts of the stone tablet."

"You plan to force them to tell?"

"No, not forcing them. My Hyuga and Kaguya have been friends for a thousand years, and there's still affection. I hope this is a transaction that can be pleasant for both sides.

Kimimaro, I hope you can help me decipher the secrets of the stone tablet. As long as you help me do this, in the future, if you have any needs, as long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse.

Moreover, only they know where the medical records of the bloodline disease you need are."

"Okay."

Kimimaro didn't refuse.

He also wanted to know the secrets of the stone tablet.

Black Zetsu had been staring at the Uchiha clan for a thousand years and probably didn't have time to target the Kaguya and Hyuga.

The content on the stone tablet might be good stuff left by Hamura Otsutsuki. If he didn't take a look, wouldn't it be a waste?

"Uncle Hiashi, let me go talk to Granny Kozue. If she really knows the whereabouts of the other half of the stone tablet, I'm confident I can get her to tell me."

Seeing that Hiashi wanted to go find Taketoshi Kozue himself, Kimimaro immediately took on this task.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

Hiashi didn't object either. It was indeed more appropriate for Kimimaro to handle this matter.

Knowing Hiashi's purpose, most of Kimimaro's doubts were cleared.

The next step was to see what the Kaguya clan wanted to do.

"Granny Kozue, I want to talk to you."

Taketoshi Kozue wasn't surprised to see Kimimaro coming to her.

"Just in time, I also want to talk to you."

"Let's talk somewhere else, this place isn't suitable."

"Okay."

"Granny, I'll go with you."

Taketoshi Tsuki immediately said.

"No need, I believe he won't harm an old woman like me. Tsuki, you stay here and watch over everyone."

"But..."

"Be obedient!"

"Alright."

Taketoshi Tsuki looked a bit aggrieved but still agreed.

The two walked to a secluded place, and Kimimaro got straight to the point, "Granny Kozue, I want to know, what exactly does the Kaguya clan want to do now?"

"Want to do what? I don't understand what you mean."

"Then let me be more clear. What do you want to do after putting on a show for a whole day? The nonsense about the Mist Anbu's sneak attack might fool Hiashi Hyuga, but it can't fool me."

Upon hearing this, Taketoshi Kozue's pupils suddenly shrank!

Exposed?

How is that possible!

For today's act, they had rehearsed for a long time, how could it be seen through?

Even Hiashi Hyuga believed it without a doubt, but this young man in front of her actually saw through the flaws?

What was going on?

Was he bluffing?

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Granny Kozue, I'm very sure this is an act, and I even know that those so-called captured Kaguya clansmen are about ten kilometers away in this direction. So, you don't have to act in front of me."

As Kimimaro spoke, he pointed in a certain direction.

No, it really wasn't!

The direction Kimimaro pointed to was exactly where Kaguya Aoi and the others were.

How did he know?

Did Hiashi Hyuga tell him?

No, impossible, Hiashi Hyuga's Byakugan range was at most three kilometers, he couldn't know what was happening ten kilometers away.

What was going on?

Even Taketoshi Kozue, who had experienced many storms, was panicked at this moment.

The play had just begun, and it was already exposed.

How could they continue acting?

"Are you in cahoots with Hiashi Hyuga?"

Taketoshi Kozue forced herself to calm down and asked the first question.

"No, it can only be said that we each get what we need. I've already told you what I need. I just want to survive. To stay alive, I can do anything.

The fact that I came to you now instead of coming with Hiashi Hyuga should show you my sincerity. Your play is for Hiashi Hyuga. If I tell him the truth, what do you think will happen?"

Kimimaro revealed a sneer.

This smile made Taketoshi Kozue's heart chill.

"You can't do this! You are a member of the Kaguya clan, how can you do something that harms the clan!"

Taketoshi Kozue said angrily.

"Then, please hand over the medical records of the bloodline disease to me. And whatever you want to act out with Hiashi Hyuga, I won't interfere."

Looking at the white-haired boy in front of her, Taketoshi Kozue already understood that this was a guy who wouldn't do anything without benefits.

It was impossible to persuade him with the clan's honor.

What had this guy gone through all these years?

How did he become like this?

At this moment, she let out a heavy sigh and slowly said, "I can give you the medical records you want, but not now. That thing is in Aoi's hands. After this matter is over, I will let her give it to you.

But before that, you can't tell Hiashi Hyuga what you've noticed. Otherwise, you'll never get the medical records!"

"Deal."

Kimimaro was very satisfied, but he didn't end the conversation there.

"Then, tell me now, what exactly do you want to do? Maybe I can help you."
