“Is that so? It seems that the progress is going very smoothly.”

Yuuji listened quietly and nodded.

He also specially sent Tagorihime to prepare in secret.

But Hoheto actually did it. It was very magical.

Although, it seemed that he was about to die, his body was crippled by Hiashi.

“This makes me think highly of him. He is not that incompetent…”

Yuuji chuckled.

Hoheto, this guy, in the original timeline, was just an elite ninja from Hyuga’s branch family. He was in the same period as Kakashi and the others. That was all. Not outstanding at all.

Even in the four-battle arena, he was just cannon fodder – speaking of which, Kage level was basically cannon fodder for other super battles.

“Hoheto… as the only one who had a secret talk with the father and son, what would happen next? Would he die on the spot, or would he not die completely, and defect with one breath?” Yuuji stretched.

The guards of Root’s department were indifferent all the time, as if they had not heard anything.

At this time, Yondaime also received an emergency report from Anbu.

“What’s wrong, Hokage Sama? Even Anbu appeared. Did something happen? Our village didn’t take the opportunity to attack you.”

Hozuki Mangetsu rubbed his teeth, revealing a mouthful of cold light. He smiled and said.

Although he was smiling, he always gave people a malicious feeling.

In fact, everyone, including Hozuki Mangetsu, wished that Konohagakure would encounter some trouble.

To be able to come and report to the Hokage on such an occasion, it seems that something very troublesome has happened…

“It’s just a small problem. The young man is a little angry and has a conflict with others.” Minato looked indifferent.

It was as if what happened was just a small matter that was not worth mentioning.

This caused the leaders of the various villages to be somewhat disappointed.

Hozuki Mangetsu, this fellow, simply collapsed, his face filled with ‘dissatisfaction’.

Shin slowly raised his head and looked at the village.

In his wide sleeves, he secretly formed a seal with one hand. Even if it was extremely subtle, it was immediately detected by Minato.

Minato had a sense of touch that far exceeded ordinary people. Even if the sand on the ground moved, he would be able to detect it.

“This person is forming seals? Could it be that the rebellion of Hyuga’s clan is related to the Eye Organization? That Hyuga clansman who joined the Eye Organization is actually a branch family?”

Minato thought quickly and thought about all kinds of possibilities.

But in the next moment, his heart skipped a beat.

Because, under Shin’s mask, a strong power of Hitomi suddenly appeared. It was Mangekyou Sharingan.

The expressions of the Ninjas also changed slightly, and they hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at Shin.

“What is it? Is the eye organization’s lord also interested in the young people?” Minato said lightly.

Shin slowly turned to Mangekyou Sharingan. “Indeed, I’m more interested. When I came to watch the ceremony, such a thing happened. It was targeted at me…”

Minato was stunned, and his expression was strange.

The other leaders were also confused.

So it could be understood this way?

If he was here and someone made trouble, it would be disrespectful to him? Hiss…

As expected of a big shot in the eye organization. With such a strong conceited personality, it was no wonder that he dared to call himself Uchiha Madara. Although everyone seriously suspected that he had nothing to do with Madara, they did not mention it.

On the other hand, Minato was deep in thought.

Before opening Mangekyou Sharingan, he had to form a seal first… Could it be that he couldn’t open Mangekyou if he didn’t form a seal?

Kazue and Shisui didn’t need to form seals. If Mangekyou Sharingan wanted to, he could do it. Even if he used three types of Mangekyou Hitomi techniques, he didn’t need to form seals. They were all instant-cast Ninjutsu.

Was the demon of the eye organization intentionally trying to confuse his vision, or was it to say…

Minato was keenly aware of something.

Combined with the conversation he had with Shin when they first met.

“Your Excellency Demon, what happened in the clan is also related to the Eye Organization?” Minato said.

“No, it doesn’t matter at all,” Shin replied coldly.

Through Mangekyou Sharingan, he looked at him fiercely, but he could not even see a strand of hair.

He was not like the ghost, who had Byakugan’s vision and perspective ability.

But to be able to intimidate these people in front of him, including Yondaime, who used to be high and mighty, Shin felt very happy.

He slowly closed his eyes and untied Mangekyou. At the same time, he made another seal with one hand in his sleeve.

Others did not notice it, but Minato was sensing it all the time, and his face showed a look of realization.

Got it.

“Your Excellency Demon, you are indeed from Konohagakure?” Minato looked at the dark forest and said casually.

Shua!

Shin stared at Minato with wide eyes.

The other leaders were also shocked. They looked at Minato, then at Shin.

“All of Ninja World’s blood inheritance is in Konoha, but we have checked all the Uchiha clansmen, but we have not found any clues. The devil of the Eye Organization is Setsuna, but the real identity of Immortal and you is unknown.”

Minato did not look back, his voice was calm, as if he was telling a small matter.

The others did not understand what he said, but Shin understood.

Konohagakure’s higher-ups once suspected that the Eye Organization’s Mangekyou Ninja had actually secretly left Uchiha’s clansmen before Konoha built the village, such as escaping by faking his death.

However, Minato discovered something different from the others from Shin.

Knowing Konoha so well and knowing that the accident happened in Hyuga’s clan…

How could someone as conceited and arrogant as Shin waste his time to remember the location of the family encampment of a super-large village?

This kind of person would only think that no matter who the enemy was, they only needed to kill them all and push them all the way. Whether it was a cat or a dog Root was not important.

The demons of the Eye Organization were very familiar with Konohagakure, as if they had lived here for a period of time…

“Who could it be?” Minato had already secretly searched through all the information of the entire Uchiha clan, but he could not find any suspicious person.

Could it be… it was not the Uchiha clan, but it had the bloodline of the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha’s clan did not mind getting married to an outsider, but the child born had to change his surname to Uchiha. This was the method of protecting the bloodline of this clan.

For example, the mother of the genius girl Izumi is Uchiha Hazuki, and her father is a foreigner who married in, and was not rejected by the Uchiha clan.

Could it be that there was a secret relationship between Uchiha’s clansmen and an outsider, and then there was an illegitimate child? It was not impossible.

Minato felt that his skull was a little painful.

But there was an even more absurd possibility, that was… demon, without the bloodline of Uchiha’s clan, but possessing Mangekyou Sharingan.

Perhaps, he had forcibly developed Mangekyou Sharingan himself!

Minato had thought of this possibility through Shin’s obscure hand seal just now.

Does Mangekyou need a hand seal to open his own? Does he need a hand seal to close it? How could there be such a reason? Unless this pair of Mangekyou had a problem in itself, and needed some method to maintain it.

Hitomi? Seal?

Minato felt that he already knew the truth.

“Yondaime, you better not waste your time on meaningless things.”

Shin looked at Minato with fear, somewhat annoyed.

Humph, cunning Yondaime, even if you notice something, it is useless. In front of my eyes, it is nothing.

Although, even if he carefully used the dirty eyes all over his body, he could only fight for five minutes.

After five minutes, if Shin did not kill the other party, he would definitely be beaten to death by the other party.

However, Shin was very confident. He had Mangekyou Sharingan, and he had prepared countless ninja tools in advance. In addition to the amber bottle, he was not afraid of anyone.

Especially someone like Minato who didn’t have absolute defense type ninjutsu, Shin firmly believed that Shin’s own Hitomi jutsu was very effective against Minato.

Minato and Shin no longer spoke.

“It seems that when we go back, we will have to choose the suspicious people and expand them to the whole village, especially those who mysteriously disappeared… But those who mysteriously disappeared, most of them were taken away by Orochimaru to do human experiments… Wait, could it be… “

Minato suppressed all kinds of thoughts and calmly waited for the results of Chunin exam.

As for what happened in the village, how many strong people were there, and how Jiraiya Sensei were lingering in a female bathhouse, there would be no big problem.

There were many strong people, and confidence was enough.

…

The commotion caused by Hyuga’s clan was finally noticed by more people.

Anbu, Root, and Konoha Garrison – the three people who served as guards and security missions – immediately rushed over.

“It’s the location of the Hyuga family!”

“Hyuga? That family is very united. How could something happen to them? Could it be that someone wants to be like Kumogakure back then and seize Byakugan?” 

Many figures entered the Hyuga clan grounds one after another.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

Clan Leader Hyuga was blind. Hyuga Hoheto was covered in blood and his mouth was bleeding. It was obvious that his internal organs were bleeding. But at this time, a pair of eyes had been dug out from his hands, and there was a pair of new eyes in his eyes…

What the hell was going on ? !

Even the Uchiha clansmen of the garrison were stunned by this scene.

The ones fighting each other are the Hyuga clansmen, and the ones attacking Hiashi are also the Hyuga clansmen. This… Hyuga clan is in a state of internal strife? And it’s even to this extent?

Uchiha Yashiro was a little dumbfounded.

He didn’t know if he should intervene.

This was not an invasion of external enemies, but an extremely closed and rigid internal affairs of an ancient clan.

It was most likely an internal affair between the branch family and clansmen.

“Captain, even the successive Hokage has never interfered in the affairs of the Hyuga family, then we…” Someone whispered.

Yashiro revealed a hesitant expression.

Indeed, from the first generation to Yondaime, he would not interfere with Hyuga’s internal affairs.

Even the matter of Hyuga and clansmen using Caged Bird Curse to execute the branch family, the Hokage would not care, nor could he interfere.

At most, he would scold clansmen a few times afterwards and force clansmen to compromise in other aspects.

Even though the branch family was a ninja of the village and also served the village, but because of the caged bird, life and death were in the hands of clansmen instead of the village.

Clansmen only needed to say, “This is the rule passed down by the ancestors.” This is the tradition of the family. “In principle, he could beat the Hokage.

“We can’t ignore it. Let’s go!”

Yashiro’s face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he immediately rushed out with his people and surrounded the group of Hyuga clansmen.

Anbu and Root Ninjas also stood around, their eyes cold and they did not say a word.

“Yashiro, this is our clan’s business. What is your Uchiha clan interfering with?” Elder clansmen was the first to blame him.

Yashiro’s face trembled and he said coldly, “I am the deputy captain of the garrison. I want to maintain the order and safety of the village. Your actions have already become a threat to the village.”

“But this is the difference between clansmen and the branch family. If even the Hokage can’t interfere, what right do you have to interfere?” Elder clansmen shouted angrily.

Many people had strange expressions on their faces.

Now, the one who had their eyes dug out was clearly the head of clansmen, the head of Hyuga, and the one who had attacked was the branch family. But why… why was this elder of clansmen defending the branch family?

“Old man, you lost an eye in the Three Battles. Could it be that the other one is also blind?” In order to leave the unforeseen events and benefits to Hyuga, you don’t care about anything?!”

Yashiro cursed angrily.

He was not a fool and quickly understood the reason.

The branch family had been planted in the cage. Now, someone must have found a way to suppress or even get rid of Caged Bird Curse and rebelled against clansmen.

Elder clansmen wanted to take down the insurgents and ensure that the art of breaking the caged birds would not be leaked. He also wanted to leave all the benefits to Hyuga – even the benefits obtained from the branch family rebellion, he had to stay with Hyuga!

The branch family of the rebel Hyuga was still Hyuga, and there was no need for the village to intervene, let alone an organization like the garrison that belonged to Uchiha’s family.

Elder clansmen stared at Yashiro with an extremely reluctant gaze.

“Yashiro, is it? You don’t have to worry about this matter. Our Hyuga family will deal with it internally.” Hiashi covered his empty eye sockets and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Yashiro gritted his teeth and finally retreated with his people, but they still surrounded him to prevent things from worsening.

Moreover, he was also very curious. If he could obtain the technique to break the caged bird, Hyuga’s clan would be finished and their lives would be controlled.

Moreover… why would this rebel branch family dig out clansmen’s eyes?

“Humph, humph, humph, how disappointing. This rotten rule is still working even at this moment… The branch family is the bird in the cage. You guys have been guarding Caged Bird Curse and not letting him go. Facing the high and mighty branch family and clansmen who is cautious in the face of the village, aren’t you also the bird in the cage? “

Hoheto lowered his head and let out a crazy low laugh. His laughter became louder and louder.

This extremely suppressed laughter seemed to have been suppressed for a long time and was being released bit by bit.

“Is this clansmen’s eyes? Eyes that are not branded with the potential to lock and have no vision flaws… Lord Hiashi, thank you very much. I am very satisfied. “

Hoheto slowly raised his head. His pair of blood-stained eyes suddenly opened.

The scroll behind him suddenly opened and turned into a curtain that stood around him. The lines that were so dense that it made one’s scalp tingle continuously appeared and squirmed.

This was an extremely complicated special seal. It was releasing Hitomi’s power that had accumulated for a long time and pouring it into Hoheto’s body.

That pair of Byakugan absorbed an extremely large amount of Hitomi’s power, and for a moment, a terrifying luster appeared.
