Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan C.789 - Arrogance of a Man who was once a Servant

“Serve me, and you will have the freedom you desire!”

Hearing the puppet’s mockery, Kuroto remained silent, it wasn’t as if he was angered or anything, it was just that Kuroto felt a little strange.

Looking at the expression on Kuroto’s face, the puppet said with a light smile, “Don’t worry… I can indeed break the ‘Caged Bird’ and free anyone I desire, I have both power and means to do so.”

As if not believing the puppet’s words, Kuroto asked, “The ‘Caged Bird’ has never been broken before, why should I trust you?”

Hearing Kuroto’s question, the puppet chuckled, and said, “This 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 ‘Caged Bird’ not only binds your fate, it also confines your thoughts.”

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 won’t 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.

‘I see.’ 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 party’s tone and words, Kuroto can clearly sense the other party’s 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 person–whose fate has always been limited because of ‘Caged Bird’ Juinjutsu–suddenly got his hands on a treasure like Giant Tenseigan and didn’t 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 Kuroto’s silence, the puppet felt that his words had hit the right place, and he took a step forward in order to completely bewitch Kuroto, “Hyuga Kuroto… you want to free yourself from the ‘Caged Bird’ right? If you want to, then kneel before me and become my loyal servant, only I can change this cursed fate that binds you!”

Kuroto asked with a frown, “You 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!”

“Don’t 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!” said Puppet in disdain, and added, “Hyuga 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!”

Kuroto shook his head, and said, “I 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, that’s out of the question. Come before me yourself, and I might consider your offer.”

The puppet was a little surprised by Kuroto’s words, and said, “Hyuga Kuroto, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.”

“Oh?” – Kuroto raised his eyebrow and said, “But I beg to differ!”

“Do you think that just because you are the principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, you are some big shot?” asked the puppet, and said, “Put 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!”

Kuroto sighed tiredly, “Sigh.” And looked around with his Byakugan as he thought, ‘It seems the master of this puppet is nowhere close, and there doesn’t seem to be any other puppet close by either.’

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 wouldn’t be worth the risk, as it would expose Kuroto. ‘So, it seems there is only one way, huh?’

The puppet noted Kuroto looking around, and asked coldly, “What are you looking for?”

Kuroto smiled lightly and disappeared from his position. The next moment, he appeared in front of the puppet.

The puppet was taken aback by Kuroto’s sudden action, “What…?! YOU!”

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, “Ignorant fool…! 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!”

“We’ll see about that.” Said Kuroto, and added, “Next time, either come before me yourself or don’t come at all.” 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 couldn’t help but mutter, “It seems that this puppet was not controlled by ‘Spirit Transformation Technique’, but through the Giant Tenseigan, and it wasn’t Tenseigan Soul Descend, but some other technique.”

The other party seems to be very cautious, realizing this Kuroto thought to himself, ‘It seems I will have to plan this out very well.’

…

Underground Prison, Hyuga Clan District

Sleeping Aoki suddenly opened his eyes, and snarled ferociously, “Hyuga Kuroto! How dare you refuse my kindness! Unforgivable!” 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, “Forget 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.”

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.
