"To talk"

'To think'

(A:Author's note)

††††††

"Remember, you will kidnap the Hyuga Princess," a tall Cloud Ninja said.

The high-ranking members of Konoha and Cloud Village arrived in Konoha at noon and began peace talks. They would probably stay in Konoha for another week.

But there was a different purpose for the peace talks. And this was Hyuga's famous eyes Byakugan.

This was nothing new, they also tried to kidnap Naruto's mother Kushina in the past.

Using Konoha's weakened state, Cloud Village attempted to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan.

Konoha; experienced many events such as the 9-tails incident, the death of the 4th Hokage, the disbandment of the Sannin, and the defection of Orochimaru. Right now, Konoha was at its weakest. Konoha elders had now reduced the Academy's difficulty in passing due to the lack of Shinobi.

Reducing even the difficulty in the Academy, which forms the foundation of a Shinobi; It showed how much the quality, number and quality of Shinobi in Konoha had fallen.

Although Konoha was victorious in the 3 great Ninja wars, the 3rd Great Ninja war was completely a Pyrrhic Victory for Konoha.

No, this war could even be considered pure luck. There was the 3rd Raikage A, who was hailed as the most powerful Raikage of Cloud Village ever.

The village of Iwagakure, with a militaristic and powerful army, and Amegakure, under the leadership of Hanzo known as the Demigod had caused great trouble for Konoha.

If they hadn't lost Sunakagure's 3rd most powerful Kazekage of all time; Konoha's victory would be shaken.

If we don't count Sunagakure, the other 3 big villages are; Had they fought together against Konohagakure, known as the strongest of the five great Villages. Konoha would no longer exist.

If Iwa and Kiri hadn't been fighting Cloud Village throughout the war, they could have focused on Konoha along with Amegakure.

Konoha's enemies would be: Demigod Hanzo, 3rd Raikage, 8-Tailed Junchuriki Killer B, 2-Tailed Junchuriki Yugito, Tsuchikage Onoki, 5-Tailed Junchuriki Han, Mizukage.

Even if Tsunade came, even if Konoha prevailed, the losses would bring Konoha to near extinction.

Counting Danzo, Tsunade, Jiraya, Hiruzen, Konoha only had 4 Kage level Ninjas. But war is also; It was a manifestation of hatred.

Iwa and Kumo, Kiri and Kumo, Konoha and Suna, Konoha and İwa; hatred of the 5 large villages towards each other prevented them from thinking logically and they fought with anger.

Until the danger of Akatsuki came, no village took steps to reconcile with each other. There was only time for this, to wait a while and gather their strength again.

If Konoha had become powerful again, if a Kage had died, or if they saw an opportunity, they would have started fighting.

Konoha had another advantage. They had unique clans such as Uchiha, Hyuga, Senju, Nara, Yamanaka and which many other villages watched with envy. Although the Senju are now extinct, there were clans like the Uchiha, which produced unique geniuses in every generation.

Many things are in Konoha, such as the Fuinjutsu brought by the last remaining members of the Uzumaki Clan, the jutsu, properties, and deeds donated to Konoha by the Senju clan.

Yamanaka with their unique Jutsu that can read minds, Nara who is famous for their intelligence, Uchiha who trained geniuses like Uchiha Madara, Hyuga who are excellent scouts and explorers.

It was what many villages wanted. Kiri was okay with that. Kiri had no hostilities with Konoha, as the country with the most Clans after Konoha.

Iwa coveted the lands of the Fire country and did not care about the clans. Suna couldn't even dare to think about it.

That left the Kumo, who forcibly kidnapped clan members and sent them to breeding farms. Such cruel methods showed how cruel the Ninja world was.

The reason why Kumo kidnapped Hinata was because the Hyuga main family was not put on a Caged bird seal.

In case the Hyuga guards came to save Hinata, Kumo ordered the Cloud Ninja who kidnapped Hinata to commit suicide.

For Kumo, this was a necessary sacrifice. Kumogakure is a larger nationalist village than other villages. Kumo ninjas had wouldn't mind sacrificing themselves for the village.

"While Yugito-sama distracts the Konoha Hokage and the others; You will kidnap Hinata after everyone leaves," the tall Cloud Ninja explained in a calm voice.

While Yugito and the others held their peace talks, Cloud Ninja would kidnap Hinata shortly after everyone left.

"I understand. Don't worry," said the Middle-aged Ninja. The middle-aged cloud Ninja's name was Dosei. He was someone who had the necessary qualities to kidnap Hinata and loved his village enough to commit suicide.

"Good," the tall Cloud Ninja sighed. As much as he didn't want Kumo's ninjas to get hurt, the Village needed the Byakugan. He could only relieve his regret by using this as an excuse. "Kumo will not forget this sacrifice and we will honor you as a Hero..."

Dosei looked at the ground with emotion. Frankly, he had to accept this mission because the New 4th Raikage A personally wanted him to fulfill this mission.

Whether a Hero or a King. No one wants to sacrifice themselves; No one has emotions strong enough to sacrifice themselves for the world and for their friends like Naruto.

But no one wanted to betray and be declared a traitor by their own village. Moreover, this village is Kumogakure.

Dosei cleared himself of his emotions and focused on his mission. He nodded to Yoshida standing in front of him.

Yoshida was impressed by his subordinate's determination. Yoshida sharpened his back and looked at Dosei, "Come on, let's go..."

Along with Dosei, Yoshida passed through the Hyuga residences and went to the mansion where Hinata's birthday was celebrated.

The Konoha delegation and the Delegation led by Yugito attended the Hyuga princess' birthday after discussing certain things at noon. Now it was evening. The birthday party would end at 9 o'clock. So they had limited time.

When Yoshida and Dosei arrived at the Hyuga residence, two Hyuga guards looked at them carefully. Hyuga's famous Byakugan scanned Yoshida and Dosei.

Yoshida took a step forward and raised his hands. "We came here to attend Hinata-sama's birthday. Due to some work, we could not come here with Yugito-sama's delegation."

The Hyuga guards looked at them carefully. Then they moved out of the way. Yoshida and Dosei were relieved. They then saluted the Hyuga guards and entered.

Once inside, Dosei scanned the inside thoroughly. Apparently the Hokage hadn't brought many guards to to the mansion as a show of good faith.

On the one hand, Danzo and Yugito were arguing heatedly. It looked like Hiruzen was greeting the guests while Danzo and the other elders were handling diplomatic business.

Time passed in a short time and evening came. Most of the guards had left to escort Yugito and Hiruzen. Dosei hid his presence and quickly headed towards Hinata's room.

Since this mansion had Byakugan blocking seals, Dosei headed towards Hinata's room without worrying at all.

Dosei came to Hinata's room and opened it easily. Dosei looked at Hinata and sighed. A little girl was becoming a victim of politics. How could he not be upset?

Dosei hardened his heart and held Hinata. Dosei quickly opened the pine tree and moved forward easily with the help of the night.

"Mmm-mmhh!!" Hinata squirmed in Dosei's hands and struggled with all her might.

"Do not scream!" Dosei looked at little Hinata, who was crying nervously. He was still within range of the Byakugan. So he had to hurry and leave the village.

"Dosei, I'm here. Come here!" Dosei recognized Yoshida's voice. Dosei excitedly walked over to Yoshida.

"Yoshida-sama, there, I got the girl." Dosei handed the fainted Hinata in his hands to Yoshida. What he didn't notice was the small smile on Yoshida's lips.

Yoshida smiled gently and placed his hand on Dosei's shoulder. "Well done, Kumogakure needs heroes like you."

Dosei breathed a sigh of relief. A sense of pride arose within him. No matter how proudly he wanted to smile, he couldn't make such a rookie mistake with Yoshida in front of him. "You overestimate me, sir."

"I want to give you a reward, Dosei," Yoshida smiled slightly. "No, No. It's an honor to reward heroes like you."

Hearing Yoshida, Dosei showed a patient, albeit curious expression.

Yoshida smiled sharply. He pulled out an orb from his pocket that emitted a black miasma. When Dosei looked at the orb, he instinctively stepped back. "I'm sorry, but can I ask what your prize is?"

Yoshida's smile grew wider. "No, unfortunately you are out of time to ask anymore. Now please die for your majesty..."

Dosei's eyes widened. He retreated in fear. "N-wait a minute, s-si-"

Yoshida's face changed and transformed into a Brunette-haired, Brown-eyed man, much to Dosei's dismay.

Before Dosei realized what was happening, the black sphere in Aizen's hand entered Yoshida's mouth and passed down his throat.

"Ahhhhhggg!!" Dosei fell to the ground and clawed his face with his hand as if his soul was being tortured.

To an ordinary person, this would seem terrifying, but to Aizen, it was just a human screaming.

Soon Dosei's screams subsided. His body was covered in black miasma. Then he grew crazy taller. Apart from a mask on his face, there was a hole in his heart.

"How exciting," Aizen looked at the evolving human in front of him. The orb that Aizen fed to Dosei was an artificial Hollow creation device.

By using a person's soul, consciousness disappears and is replaced by an incredible power. Then, the chakra inside the person is sacrificed, bringing Evolution to the point of completion.

That's exactly what the device did. By sacrificing the human soul and chakra, tremendous power and form are obtained.

"As your majesty mentioned, the more chakra they have, the more power they gain," Aizen said calmly. According to what Yhwach told him, in this world, people of Jonin rank had higher spiritual power and chakra.

In this way, they directly evolve into a Gillian. Power centers at the Kage level could have at least one adjutcas or Vaste Lord as long as there was no intervention.

But according to Aizen's theory, transforming into Vaste Lorde was more difficult than transforming into Adujcas.

According to what Yhwach told Aizen, only powerful people like Orochimaru, Madara, Hashirama and the 3rd Raikage can evolve to the potential of becoming a Vaste Lorde.

At the same time, the most important thing for evolution is hatred. The more hatred a person has, the better the evolution will be, even if his Chakra and Spiritual power are not enough.

For example, if Sasuke turns into a Hollow, Thanks to his extreme hatred, instead of becoming Gillian, he will become Adjutcas.

Unlike Sasuke, this does not apply to Naruto. Naruto cannot evolve by force. Because the Hollow's power of hatred is not in his heart.

Aizen looked at Gillian, who had a terrifying spiritual pressure rising in front of him. He was secretly disappointed.

Instead of her experiment becoming a strong Gillian, he became a weak Gillian. Honestly, if you knew the weaknesses of Hollows, you could easily kill this Gillian.

'The man who calls himself Hokage is stronger than Gillian, but there must be a slight difference,' Aizen thought. If they didn't target Gillian's weakness, the mask, he could definitely defeat the Hokage.

Aizen smiled slightly. He picked up Hinata and walked deeper into the forest. 'Now all that remains is to test the experiment.'

"Go and attack the village..." Aizen smiled faintly. He waited with curiosity for the performance of the experiment. Then, with one movement, he disappeared from the forest.

Gillian, who stopped being afraid after Aizen left, looked at the village greedily. Then he started to leave.
