âServe me, and you will have the freedom you desire!â
Hearing the puppetâs mockery, Kuroto remained silent, it wasnât as if he was angered or anything, it was just that Kuroto felt a little strange.
Looking at the expression on Kurotoâs face, the puppet said with a light smile, âDonât worry⊠I can indeed break the âCaged Birdâ and free anyone I desire, I have both power and means to do so.â
As if not believing the puppetâs words, Kuroto asked, âThe âCaged Birdâ has never been broken before, why should I trust you?â
Hearing Kurotoâs question, the puppet chuckled, and said, âThis is the problem with you, as I have said before, although you have some achievements, your vision of the world is still narrow. It is as if, the âCaged Birdâ not only binds your fate, it also confines your thoughts.â
If it was a month ago, the master of puppets would have never said such words. Rather, he would feel the exact opposite. He used to feel that Hyuga Kuroto was different from the rest of the members of the Hyuga Clan, and he used to admire Kuroto for his achievements and vision. It wonât even be wrong to say that it was Kuroto who motivated him to stand up for himself and take a different path than he took in the Cannon.
However, all of this changed the moment the master of this puppet obtained the Giant Tenseigan. With the sudden increase in strength and knowledge, he realized that Hyuga Kuroto was nothing special.
Heck, not only Kuroto, but the entire Hyuga Clan, Konoha, and the entire shinobi is now worth mentioning. All these people are stupid and limited by their vision, and he can crush all of them whenever he wants.
âI see.â thought Kuroto looking at the puppet with pity.
Although the person standing before him is just a puppet, not the real person, from the other partyâs tone and words, Kuroto can clearly sense the other partyâs arrogance.
However, he is not surprised, rather this is within his prediction.
Just think about it for a second, someone who has spent his entire life as a servant, someone whose life and death always depended on the whim of the members of the main family of the Hyuga Clan. Such a personâwhose fate has always been limited because of âCaged Birdâ Juinjutsuâsuddenly got his hands on a treasure like Giant Tenseigan and didnât become arrogant, it sounds strange, right?
Therefore, Kuroto felt this was natural, and he was a little worried that as time passed, he would become more and more arrogant and would create a lot of trouble in the future unless dealt with swiftly.
Noting Kurotoâs silence, the puppet felt that his words had hit the right place, and he took a step forward in order to completely bewitch Kuroto, âHyuga Kuroto⊠you want to free yourself from the âCaged Birdâ right? If you want to, then kneel before me and become my loyal servant, only I can change this cursed fate that binds you!â
Kuroto asked with a frown, âYou want me to become your servant? How is it different from the current state? Only the master will change, a servant will still remain a servant!â
âDonât you dare compare me with those foolish people! They are mere ants in front of me, and I can crush all of them in moments!â said Puppet in disdain, and added, âHyuga Kuroto, I know what you want, you want to change the Hyuga Clan, however, you have neither power nor means. Do you really think that you can accomplish anything with that meager power of yours? You are weak! Everything you do is in vain, your fate is limited in the hands of those foolish ones!â
Kuroto shook his head, and said, âI can say the same to you, as you are not convincing enough, all you speak are empty words. You want me to serve you, yet you dare not come before him and send only a puppet. Someone like you has no right to say anything about my means and resolve. As for the matter of serving an unknown person, thatâs out of the question. Come before me yourself, and I might consider your offer.â
The puppet was a little surprised by Kurotoâs words, and said, âHyuga Kuroto, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.â
âOh?â â Kuroto raised his eyebrow and said, âBut I beg to differ!â
âDo you think that just because you are the principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, you are some big shot?â asked the puppet, and said, âPut away your pride and accept your role as my servant. If you agree then you might have someplace in the future Shinobi World, otherwise, your fate will be the same as the rest!â
Kuroto sighed tiredly, âSigh.â And looked around with his Byakugan as he thought, âIt seems the master of this puppet is nowhere close, and there doesnât seem to be any other puppet close by either.â
Since the master of the puppet is not anywhere close, dealing with him is a little difficult. He might have some chance of injuring the master of the puppet if he uses his Tenseigan, however, that wouldnât be worth the risk, as it would expose Kuroto. âSo, it seems there is only one way, huh?â
The puppet noted Kuroto looking around, and asked coldly, âWhat are you looking for?â
Kuroto smiled lightly and disappeared from his position. The next moment, he appeared in front of the puppet.
The puppet was taken aback by Kurotoâs sudden action, âWhatâŠ?! YOU!â
Without giving the puppet any opportunity to react, he smashed it, Bang!
Smashed by Kuroto, the puppet broke into many parts and fell on the ground, however, it seemed that the head was still somewhat intact and spoke in anger, âIgnorant foolâŠ! Here I am showing you kindness, and instead of accepting my kindness and becoming my servant you are making me your enemy?! You are going to regret it!â
âWeâll see about that.â Said Kuroto, and added, âNext time, either come before me yourself or donât come at all.â Then, without giving the head any opportunity to speak, he crushed it.
BOOM!
After dealing with the puppet, Kuroto once again looked around him, however, he found nothing, not even the Tenseigan. There was no spiritual body, nor was there any residue of Chakra in the surroundings, and couldnât help but mutter, âIt seems that this puppet was not controlled by âSpirit Transformation Techniqueâ, but through the Giant Tenseigan, and it wasnât Tenseigan Soul Descend, but some other technique.â
The other party seems to be very cautious, realizing this Kuroto thought to himself, âIt seems I will have to plan this out very well.â

Underground Prison, Hyuga Clan District
Sleeping Aoki suddenly opened his eyes, and snarled ferociously, âHyuga Kuroto! How dare you refuse my kindness! Unforgivable!â Aoki was angered because Kuroto not only refused his offer, he even humiliated him!
Aoki never expected that Kuroto would refuse him, so this was very shocking to him.
After a while, Aoki calmed himself, and chuckled, âForget it, he is an ignorant guy who thinks he knows everything in the world. I will see him after I finish dealing with the main family. I want to see the expression on his face when he realizes that he had made a blunder tonight.â
With such a thought, Aoki took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
At the same time, somewhere else in the village, another person covered head to toe in a black cloak opened his eyes and made his way toward the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan.
