The Hyuga Shall Stand Above, In The Heavens!

The world doesn't stop spinning just because someone is missing. 

Unless humans become gods, no one can defy fate. 

But now, a force that goes against the natural order has appeared in the ninja world. 

The existence of the Sun God Kingdom has shattered the balance of the Five Great Nations and their Five Great Ninja Villages. 

They wait in silence for the final judgment. 

Land of Fire.

Konohagakure.

The midday sun shone brightly. 

In the heart of the Uchiha district, in a quiet courtyard that Fugaku had specially prepared for the Hitoshi… 

Hyuga Hitoshi lay with his head resting on Kurenai's lap, enjoying the faint fragrance from her body. As he reminisced about Konan's "thank-you gift" from the previous night, he also considered his next steps. 

Meanwhile, Uzuki Yugao had taken over Anko's previous role of massaging his calves. Any trace of defiance on her face had vanished, replaced by quiet submission and respect. 

To the side, Mabui held a stack of documents, patiently waiting for her master to ask about work. She glanced toward the courtyard gate, where Uchiha girls occasionally peeked in before hurriedly blushing and running away. 

These Uchiha girls were certainly beautiful, but they were too timid. They only dared to steal glances from afar before bolting. 

Honestly, Fugaku had gone all out. 

The current Hokage of Konohagakure had clearly seen through his master's "weakness." The entire area around the courtyard was now filled with the most beautiful young women from the Uchiha clan, personally selected by Fugaku. And now, under his orders, they had all become Hyuga Hitoshi's personal maids. 

From Mabui's perspective, it wouldn't be long before these girls were officially absorbed into Hyuga Hikari's maid squad. When that happened, their status would surely rise as well. 

That being said, considering Hyuga Hitoshi's current position, this level of treatment was completely justified. 

With the Sun God Kingdom and the Hyuga clan proving their dominance in the ninja world, many were eager to align themselves with Hyuga Hitoshi. Fugaku's move was simply him following his instincts. 

Hyuga Hitoshi slowly opened his eyes, a mix of blue and golden light flickering within them. 

Ever since he absorbed the Shinigami's fragments, his Tenseigan had shown signs of further evolution, and its abilities had become more refined. 

With the hints provided by his golden finger, a new thought had formed in his mind. 

The golden finger's power could push him to the peak of this world, reaching the limits of its power system. 

But in the ninja world, it seemed possible to surpass dimensions themselves.

Right now, his strongest powers come from the Golden Wheel Tenseigan and his incredibly strong body. His earlier guess was right—if he wants to keep improving quickly, the best way is to let the Golden Wheel Tenseigan absorb the mysterious things in this world. That way, his eyes will evolve, and he'll also get stronger in the process. 

Hyuga Hitoshi has always been someone with a plan. The Hyuga clan, the Sun God Kingdom—most of the promises he made when he took over as clan leader have already been fulfilled. Now, all that's left is to fully absorb and integrate the newly acquired land into his domain. Once everything is under his control, he can expand again when the time is right. 

As for himself, it's time to climb to an even higher level and find a way to break through the barriers of different dimensions. 

At the very least, he needs to reach the true god-like level of the Otsutsuki clan before he can fully control this world. 

So while he searches for rare items to evolve his eyes, he will also continue reshaping this world's story, shaking its entire foundation, and evolving his own power at the same time. 

Yeah. 

Hyuga Hitoshi already has a plan for that too. 

"Konan really misunderstood. Offering the Four-Tails and Five-Tails as a gift? That's way too small. But since she already gave them to me, I accepted. I should take some time to visit Amegakure and have a chat with Nagato." 

For ordinary people, or even for the Akatsuki, which aims to create a weapon that can threaten the whole ninja world, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails are indeed valuable gifts. But to Hyuga Hitoshi, the real truth is far more important. Since Konan came all this way and put everything on the line, he won't just sit back and play along while pretending not to know anything. 

That's not his style. 

When you reach a certain level of power, it's others who have to play along with your act—not the other way around. 

Besides, revealing the truth about the Rinnegan to Nagato will also shake this world's story. Hyuga Hitoshi has no reason not to do it. 

As for the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he already has a plan for that too. 

Aside from reviving Kaguya's true form, he also intends to create a dream paradise—something like a modified version of the Limited Tsukuyomi. Sometimes, giving ordinary people a dream where they can do whatever they wish is actually a kind of mercy. Hyuga Hitoshi plans to rewrite the script for the Limited Tsukuyomi to improve the happiness of his citizens. 

Of course, this is just a rough idea for now. A project like the dream paradise needs careful control, or it could easily go wrong. 

His real reason for continuing the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan is that, apart from needing a villain to keep people on edge, he also wants to use the massive chakra gathered from it to refine his Golden Wheel Tenseigan. He calls this process the "final ritual." 

The plan is simple. 

First, absorb mysterious entities like Moryo and the Shinigami to enhance the abilities of the Tenseigan. Then, once everything is in place, use the enormous chakra from the Infinite Tsukuyomi to ascend to the next level, fully merging the Golden Wheel Tenseigan with his body. At that point, both his eyes and his body will reach the peak of this world, stepping onto the path of godhood. 

As for the Infinite Tsukuyomi itself, the original story already showed that it's not that big of a deal. As long as it's canceled before the Divine Tree drains people completely, the worst outcome is just temporary chakra depletion, which can recover over time. So really, there's no problem with casting it every now and then. 

"But I still need rare items that can push my Golden Wheel Tenseigan to the next level." 

Hyuga Hitoshi rubbed his chin. 

"The Sage's Box of Ultimate Bliss? Those ninja tools? The Grell Stone that supposedly created an advanced civilization? The Dragon Vein? Well, I guess I can take Pakura and the others on a little trip around the ninja world while I'm at it." 

By the time this journey is over, Obito and Danzo will probably have reached an agreement and revived Uchiha Madara. By then, the Sun God Kingdom will have completely integrated its new lands, and the alliance will be firmly in place. 

So, to refine the plan a bit more, here's what comes next: 

1. Find mystical items that can further evolve the Tenseigan. 

2. Completely solidify control over the Sun God Kingdom's territory. 

3. Manipulate the villains to unite the ninja world under one cause. 

4. Once the Golden Wheel Tenseigan nears its limit, use the chakra from the Infinite Tsukuyomi for the final breakthrough. 

5. Use the coordinates given by the silent doll to launch an assault on the Otsutsuki clan. 

6. Break the barrier between dimensions.

Phew. 

After briefly organizing the things that needed to be done in the future, he stretched lazily and rolled off Kurenai, then looked at Mabui beside him. 

As his personal secretary, Mabui immediately understood what that look meant. She cleared her throat and began reporting. 

"A large number of small nations have confirmed their intention to join the Sun God Alliance. However, the initial framework of the alliance has already been compiled by the secretary team as per your instructions, so there won't be any issues." 

"That said, a few smaller nations feel they have too little influence and hope you can grant them a slightly higher status within the alliance." 

Just a bunch of clueless fools. Hyuga Hitoshi didn't even bother to respond. 

Influence? They were nothing but opportunists. When the Sun God Kingdom faced a crisis, they'd probably be the first to run. 

"Here are the urgent matters the Sun God Alliance needs to address, along with some requests from smaller nations." 

After making sure Hyuga Hitoshi had processed the previous information, Mabui continued like a proper secretary. 

"The leader of the Sky Ninja wishes to meet you. He claims to possess a power you'd be interested in and hopes to trade it for the protection of the Sun God Alliance, ideally securing a piece of land for his people to recover and settle." 

Sky Ninja? 

The ones who lost in the Second Shinobi War? 

Hyuga Hitoshi suddenly understood. But a power I'd be interested in? 

After thinking for a moment, something clicked in his mind. 

The Sky Ninja leader should be Shinnō, right? 

He supposedly mastered a technique called "Body Revitalization," a forbidden jutsu that lets him keep all Eight Gates open indefinitely without dying. 

A useful technique, but… 

"Have Orochimaru handle it. Protection is easy, but it depends on his sincerity. Also, tell the Chief of Snakes that I'm personally more interested in their flight technology." 

After all, they were the first true air force in the ninja world, equipped with a mobile fortress and the so-called Zero-Tails. The strength of the Sky Ninja had always been underestimated, but their technology could be valuable for the Sun God Kingdom's future. 

"Understood," Mabui nodded. 

"Next, there's a private request from the rising actress, Fujikaze Yukie. On behalf of her film crew, she wants to shoot a movie titled 'The Rise of the Sun God' and is asking for your approval. If you agree, she also hopes you'd make a guest appearance." 

A movie to boost the Sun God Kingdom's influence? 

Not a bad idea. But in reality, Fujikaze Yukie probably just wanted to use her status to intimidate her uncle, Kazahana Dotō, the man who killed her father. 

Well, the Land of Snow was indeed a great travel destination, and it happened to be on Hyuga Hitoshi's route as he journeyed across the ninja world. Still, acting in a movie? Not his thing. He had no interest in being a celebrity in some two-dimensional world. He was already like a savior—he wrote his own script in real life. 

Speaking of which, he wondered if the two-dimensional world had casting couch scandals too. 

"Shooting the movie is fine, but the script must be tightly controlled. It should clearly portray the Five Great Nations as aggressors and highlight my sense of justice." 

Hyuga Hitoshi spoke firmly. 

"Also, tell Fujikaze Yukie—if she wants to gain something, she must first learn to give. A mere actress who doesn't aim to be a queen will never be a good director!" 

What kind of logic was that? 

Mabui twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth but still noted it down. She turned the page and continued her report. 

"As for the rogue ninja who recently infiltrated the Sun God Kingdom, their identities have been confirmed. They were indeed released by the warden of Hōzuki Castle. They don't know the details of the deal, but it's clear that the warden has bigger ambitions." 

"Since the Land of Grass was annexed by the Sun God Kingdom, the warden, Mui, has officially been under our jurisdiction. However, he has secretly met with representatives from multiple major nations. Because of Hōzuki Castle's unique status, we previously overlooked this. But now, his actions have crossed the Sun God Kingdom's laws." 

Hōzuki Castle… the Box of Ultimate Bliss, huh? 

The legendary weapon that nearly allowed the Hidden Grass Village to unite the entire ninja world. Supposedly, it was an artifact left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, capable of granting wishes. 

But in the end, it was just a cheap trick. 

Hyuga Hitoshi nodded slightly. In his understanding, this was likely one of the Sage of Six Paths' backup plans. Since he now represented Otsutsuki Hamura in the ninja world, it was only a matter of time before he clashed directly with the Sage of Six Paths. 

Might as well pay a visit. 

And this is something that happened within the Sun God Kingdom. 

"I'll handle this personally. Once the meeting is over, I'll head to the Land of Grass and have a proper talk with Mui." 

In the original story, Mui lost control because he wanted to bring his son back to life and tried to open the Bliss Box again. 

But you have to understand, his son was the one who helped him open the Bliss Box in the first place. He just didn't have enough chakra and got swallowed by it. That means even when his son was alive, he was already after the power of the Bliss Box. He was never a good person to begin with. 

"And that so-called Bliss Box? What a joke. If he thinks that thing can grant his wishes, he might as well beg me instead." 

Hitoshi, the clan leader, smirked. He was a living god, the one and only recognized Sun God by Nagato. Wouldn't it be more useful to ask him instead of relying on the Bliss Box? 

Since Hozuki Castle wasn't too far from Nagato's Akatsuki base, once Konan recovered, he could take her back to visit and deal with Mui along the way. That would also be a good chance to check out the Bliss Box. 

"Uh, there's one more thing." 

Mabui's expression turned a little strange as she blinked and handed Hyuga Hitoshi a photo of a young woman. 

"Her name is Nadeshiko Shizuka. She's the next village chief of Nadeshiko Village. It seems she found out that you're one of the strongest people alive and wants to challenge you." 

"Yeah, Nadeshiko Village has a tradition of defeating strong people and then making them marry into the village. Shizuka seems to see beating you as part of her trial to become village chief." 

"But according to her, if she loses, Nadeshiko Village will willingly submit to the Sun God Alliance. Apparently, many women in Nadeshiko Village are interested in the Sun God Clan—basically, the Hyuga Clan—and they hope to establish stable marriage ties with the Sun God Kingdom." 

After saying that, Mabui looked completely baffled. 

If someone didn't know about Nadeshiko Village's traditions, they might think this was just a setup for an easy win. After all, Hyuga Hitoshi was recognized as the strongest in the ninja world, and the Hyuga Clan was considered the most powerful. Marrying into the clan was basically a huge advantage for Nadeshiko Village. 

But Mabui didn't filter out this bizarre request. The reason was Nadeshiko Shizuka was a beautiful kunoichi. And she understood exactly what kind of person her master was. 

"Just like Konan, she's basically handing herself over." 

Kurenai, standing behind Hyuga Hitoshi, muttered with a pout. She had great respect for Konan—at least she was the type to repay kindness. Hitoshi had made the first move to help her, after all. 

Especially last night, when Konan had passed out from a serious injury. While Kurenai and Anko were taking turns looking after her, they had noticed her lip piercing. The moment they saw it, they were too shocked to say anything and just silently gave a thumbs-up to the warrior who had endured that pain. 

Yeah, that looked painful. 

But Anko seemed really interested in lip piercings. She was probably in her room right now asking Konan how to get one. 

They were all crazy. Ruthless. And Nan-senpai was the queen of throwing herself into situations like this. 

But what's the deal with this Nadeshiko Shizuka? Is she just that determined to throw herself at him? 

"Their village does have this tradition. We've confirmed it. I don't have much to say about something like this, so it's up to you to decide." 

Mabui's tone was full of implication. 

"Ahem, I understand." 

Hyuga Hitoshi coughed and then put on a serious expression, patting his chest as if speaking with great righteousness. 

"As the leader of the Sun God Kingdom, the great Sun God, I pay close attention to everything that happens in the Sun God Alliance. And isn't it my duty to meet the needs of my people? It's just a simple sparring match—tell Fushiko Shizuka to come find me herself!" 

Of course. That's just like you. 

Uzuki Yugao twitched at the corner of her mouth. 

Alright, she had just gained a whole new level of understanding about Hyuga Hitoshi's shamelessness. 

Do all so-called strong people start their training by thickening their skin first?

"The great Sun God, it's time to wake up. The Fifth Hokage has been waiting outside for a while now. The First Ninja World Conference is ready, and there's not much time left before it begins." 

"Of course, the great Sun God doesn't need to worry about being late. They won't have any complaints." 

After saying that in one breath, the secretary watched as Hyuga Hitoshi lazily stretched out his hand, looking weak, as if he needed someone to serve him. Understanding the situation, the capable secretary quickly gestured toward the head maid, Natsu. 

Natsu, who had been waiting for some time, nodded and led Yugito, Samui, and a newly recruited long-haired Uchiha maid onto the scene with elegance. 

Seeing the gleam in the Sun God's eyes, Mabui seemed to realize something. She held back the unease in her heart and quietly left the room. 

Judging by the situation, with the addition of the long-haired Uchiha maids, today's dressing session wouldn't be over in less than two hours. 

—— 

"My brother isn't up yet?" 

At the Uchiha clan's main hall, originally meant for receiving guests but now used to host Clan Leader Fugaku himself, the man immediately stood up when he saw Mabui walk in. 

"Apologies, he seems to have been up late last night. The Sun God is still asleep. I estimate he'll be up in about two hours. I'd suggest you go back and rest for now." 

Mabui spoke politely. 

"Of course, my brother is the ruler of the Sun God Kingdom. He has a lot to handle. It's understandable." 

Fugaku nodded quickly. He wasn't upset at all. He was already used to waiting. 

"But going back isn't necessary. I'll just wait here for him to wake up. Let him know I'm here when he's up." 

Normally, he might go to the Hokage's office to deal with work, but today was different. 

Today was the day of the Ninja World Conference. Fugaku knew the power of appearances. Walking in with Hitoshi would be an incredible status boost. 

After all, this was the Sun God—the undisputed number one in the ninja world! 

Since Fugaku was so determined, Mabui had no objections. She gave a simple farewell and left. 

—— 

"It looks like our long-haired Uchiha plan is working." 

As soon as Mabui was gone, Fugaku let out a satisfied smile. Then, he suddenly turned to Uchiha Satoshi and patted his shoulder. 

"This proves that my judgment as Hokage was right all along!" 

"Brilliant insight, Clan Leader!" 

Uchiha Satoshi put on a wise smile and played along, though deep inside, he felt that the clan leader was getting a little too obsessed. 

"But I think we can go even further. I've been analyzing my brother Hitoshi's tastes for a while now… and it seems like he has a thing for legal lolis." 

Wait, so the clan leader means…? 

Uchiha Satoshi was stunned for a moment before recalling the confiscated blueprint they found when raiding the Sarutobi clan. 

"That's right. I plan to arrange a marriage meeting between her and my brother Hitoshi!" 

Fugaku grinned. 

"It's time to activate Uchiha's ultimate weapon!"
