Marvel: Trading with Worlds

Hyuga Clan

An Anbu member suddenly arrived at the Hyuga Clan's door and was escorted to Hyuga Hiashi's home by the guards from the branch house.

Upon meeting him, the Anbu member handed over a scroll, saying, "Head Hyuga, this is an order from Master Hokage." With that, the Anbu member left briskly.

Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly.

The Hyuga Clan had never involved itself in the village's internal affairs, and they had always seemed somewhat independent from outsiders. 

However, Konoha Village could not function without them due to their Byakugan abilities.

In terms of detection, the Byakugan was the strongest of all bloodline limits.

Although the Hyuga Clan supported Orochimaru at the Jōnin meeting, it was Hyuga Hiashi's decision when Namikaze Minato was deemed hopeless.

However, after opening the scroll, Hyuga Hiashi was shocked by the contents. He then ordered the branch house guards beside him, "Tokuma, immediately notify the elders and some members of the branch house to convene a clan meeting."

In addition to the Hyuga Clan, the Ino–Shika–Chō and Sarutobi clans also received numerous quests. 

But unlike the Hyuga Clan, the Ino–Shika–Chō Clan was mostly given more difficult tasks—long-term border garrison missions, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering.

Nara shikaku and Yamanaka Haiichi's earlier speculations had been completely wrong. On the first day Orochimaru took office, he had taken a few ninjas from them.

Although they weren't directly sent to the battlefield, being transferred from Konoha's power center to the borders or to other smaller ninja villages was a significant change.

 And next time, they might be sent straight to the battlefield.

But they had no other option. Unless they defected like Jiraiya, they had no choice but to accept Hokage's orders.

Deep underground in the Land of Earth,

The aging Uchiha Madara felt that his time was nearly up. Just now, with the help of the remaining power in the Gedo Statue, he cast an illusion on the Third Mizukage, which drained a significant amount of his chakra.

It will take a little longer. Uchiha Madara glanced at Uchiha Obito, who was desperately trying to recover his body every day, before leaving. 

This was probably the only amusement he could enjoy at the moment, and it was rare for the Uchiha clan to have such a person.

Suddenly, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground and whispered to Uchiha Madara, "Master Madara, the target has been assigned to Konoha, and they are ready to go to the Mist Shinobi battlefield."

"Really? It's finally time? Otherwise, I'd have to use my Sharingan to run. But now, I only have one Sharingan left."

After Uchiha Madara said this, he paused for a moment. After using the illusion on the Third Mizukage, he couldn't move anymore. 

For the illusion of Mist Shinobi Anbu, he had sacrificed one of his Sharingan and placed it in the illusion seal for White Zetsu to manage.

"Master Madara, besides this news, I have something else to share. Do you want to guess what it is?"

The White Zetsu clone spoke excitedly, as though it had discovered a rare treasure. This performance piqued Uchiha Madara's curiosity.

"What is it? What big move is Konoha planning?"

White Zetsu couldn't wait to respond: "It's 10 million ryo. The target, gave it to me. It's the first time I've seen so much money! Madara, what do you think I should do with it? Should I hire a few people to perform for me?"

"White Zetsu."

"What's wrong, Madara-sama?"

"Get lost!"

It was impossible to let White Zetsu go, after all, it was an important source of information for Uchiha Madara. 

However, this defective creation could be rather annoying at times. Though useful, it often provoked his anger.

Besides Konoha's actions, Kirigakure had also made a plan under his direction. However, Kirigakure needed a suitable candidate, and the constitution capable of sealing tailed beasts was very rare. 

Fortunately, Nohara Rin was more suitable for sealing tailed beasts.

After Uchiha Madara learned about Rin Nohara's constitution, he orchestrated a grand scheme for Obito. 

The more Obito looked forward to it, the greater the despair would be. In that despair, the Uchiha clan would undergo the fastest transformation.

"Rin, be careful when you arrive in the Land of Water, and follow my orders."

Kakashi warned her before they departed. Now that he had formed Team Kakashi, he and Nohara Rin had left the Minato team. 

Unless there was a particularly difficult S-rank mission, two Jōnin wouldn't typically be in the same team.

Moreover, Kakashi always felt a little guilty when facing Namikaze Minato. The last time he saw his sensei, he had keenly noticed that Minato had changed a lot. 

Kakashi didn't know if it was because of the failed Hokage election or the defection of Jiraiya, but he felt that Minato-sensei was dealing with a significant emotional burden.

Nohara Rin nodded, "I understand, Kakashi. But I've gotten a lot stronger since then. This time, I won't hold back." She had undergone intense special training, especially to resist and cast illusions. 

Although she wasn't as strong as Kakashi, anyone who underestimated her might soon find themselves sliced open by her Chakra Scalpel.

The new team member was Chūnin Morino Ibiki, who was from Kakashi's time at the academy. He was a taciturn person and had rarely communicated with Kakashi during their school days. 

However, after introducing themselves, they could at least say they knew each other.

Subsequently, the Konoha Shinobi support team for the Mist Shinobi battlefield set off—300 people in total, half of whom were medical staff and assassination team members. 

Kakashi's team was the standard long-term covert team in enemy territory.

With Kakashi as the captain, known for his excellent strength and experience in infiltrating enemy territory, along with medical ninjas and Morino Ibiki, who was in charge of torture, the team was well-equipped for the mission ahead.
