Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 71 Hyuga Brothers (Part )
Tamura Hao didn't pay much attention to the patrol team here. After all, the elites of the major ninja clans of Konoha were either at the front line or in Konoha. It was impossible to arrange elites to be stationed in such a place.

It would only take them one day to recover. With four jonin there, even if they could only exert half of their strength, it would be enough to fight against a jonin team.

However, there was one thing that Tamura Hao did not expect. The major ninja clans did send their elite troops to the front line, but not all of them.

As the ninja clan in Konoha, they naturally have some privileges. Some of the best younger generations are not sent to the front line, especially those who are good at reconnaissance.

For example, the young patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi. As the head of the Hyuga clan, he naturally has powerful guards around him.

"Inuzuka Blade didn't come back? Did he encounter the enemy?"

After receiving the report, Hinata Hiashi instantly became alert.

In fact, he was very depressed about being arranged here. After all, this was the rear area and not an important place. It was impossible for the enemy to come here.

This is a kind of protection given to him by his family, but he does not need this kind of protection.

His current close combat ability is not inferior to that of a jonin at all. To have such strength at the age of sixteen is considered very outstanding in the family.

After practicing for so many years, he was eager to have a real battle, or even go to the front line.

I didn't have much hope when I came here, but who would have thought that something unusual would happen so soon.

"We followed the patrol route we set for them and found some marks. It seems that we have found traces of an unknown ninja team. We need to provide support as soon as possible."

The Inuzuka ninja who came to report spoke very quickly, and was a little anxious inside. After all, that was his own cousin, and he didn't want anything to happen to him.

Hinata Hiashi had an idea and immediately looked at his younger brother Hizashi who was assisting him.

"Are there any other anomalies?"

"There are no other abnormal reports at this time."

Hinata Hizashi replied, and then seemed to have guessed his brother's thoughts, and worriedly advised: "Before we came out, our father told us not to take risks, let alone leave this station."

He was well aware of the preciousness of the Byakugan. It was said that the price of a Byakugan in the bounty office had reached a high price of 100 million taels, and the major ninja villages coveted it even more.

The only one who can be looked down upon is the Zong family, so it is very dangerous for the eldest brother to come out this time.

Hinata Hiashi stood up and said sternly: "Hiashi, according to the information obtained by the family, the Uchiha clan has eyes with pupil power above the three-magatama Sharingan, and there is more than one person, and that kind of eyes can threaten the existence of the Kage.

We represent the future of the Hyuga clan and must not be outdone by the Uchiha. The tempering of battle is necessary.

We are not allowed to go to the front line, but if we don’t dare to fight in the rear, how can we lead the family to surpass the Uchiha in the future?"

As the young patriarch of the Hyuga clan, he knew very well that their Hyuga's Byakugan was definitely no worse than the Uchiha's Sharingan. Not only that kind of Magatama Sharingan, but also those eyes of a higher level.

It’s just that their Hyuga clan has not brought out the true potential of the Byakugan, and the Secret Land lineage is much stronger in this regard.

He firmly believed that his future would not be worse than that of Uchiha, and fighting was the best nourishment to promote his own growth.

"Can……"

Hyuga Hizashi wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Hyuga Hiashi waving his hand.

"Don't worry, we have three elite jonin guarding us, and my two brothers have the strength to rival jonin, so we'll be fine."

Although he longed for a life-and-death fight, it did not affect his rationality and he would not put himself in danger.

This time, his father arranged three elite jonin from the branch family to protect him. With his own and Hizashi's strength, he would be able to fight even against the Uetakage.

Besides that, he and Hizashi arrived here secretly. Even the people in Konoha didn't know which base the two brothers had come to, so it was impossible for them to be targeted.

After hesitating for a long time, Hinata Hizashi finally stopped persuading him.

"Inuzuka Zhao, come with us to support Inuzuka Ren and the others."

Seeing that his brother no longer objected, Hyuga Hiashi immediately ordered a pursuit.

Although he was confident in his Byakugan, he also knew that the Inuzuka family, who relied on their sense of smell, had an advantage in long-distance tracking. "Yes!"

Inuzuka Zhao took the order, walked out immediately and whistled, and his ninja dog ran over quickly.

Hinata Hizashi also found three tribesmen who were stationed there, and a group of six people started a pursuit.

With the marks left by the Inuzuka blade, the six people arrived at the place where they were killed a few hours later.

“This place has been cleaned up.”

Looking at the scraped ground, Hinata Hiashi could tell that a battle had taken place here.

Inuzuka Zhao was very angry. The mark and trace of his cousin's scent disappeared here, and it was obvious that he was in great danger. Even his body was taken away by the other party.

"There are traces in two directions, one is straight ahead and the other is to the side."

Hinata Hizashi said as he looked around and saw traces in two directions.

"Zhao, can you tell me which side smells fresher?"

Hinata Hiashi looked at Inuzuka Zhao, and Inuzuka Zhao had to confirm this.

“The one on the side has a newer smell.”

Inuzuka Zhao said while suppressing his grief, he made up his mind to kill the murderer and avenge his cousin.

"Chase!"

Hinata Hiashi gave a decisive order and the group quickly gave chase.

After chasing for several hours, they all looked grim when they saw the river in front of them.

The other party obviously entered the river and used the river water to cover up traces and smells, so there is no way to track them down.

They couldn't be sure whether the other party was swimming upstream or downstream, or where he came ashore from.

If there are any forked tributaries, it will be even more difficult to find.

"Go back and chase in another direction."

Hinata Hiashi could only order his troops to return, and this time the speed was much faster. It didn't take long before they returned to the fork in the road and followed another trail.

Although the other party passed by earlier and the smell is much weaker, there is still some residue.

Add some inconspicuous traces, and tracking will not be a problem.

On the other side, Tamura Hao and others were resting. They needed more time to rest. They would not leave until the Konoha ninja caught up with them.

The most important thing is that Uzumaki Tamano is still in a coma. Without Uzumaki Tamano's Kagura mind's eye perception, it is very dangerous to move forward. If one is not careful, they might run into Konoha's patrol ninjas, which would be even more dangerous.

"Here we are, there are six of them, five of them have very high chakra strength, especially three of them whose chakra strength is no worse than that of the three uncles."

Tian Cun Hao suddenly spoke and looked in that direction solemnly.

He has been connected to the chakra of the Juubi and Kaguya's phantom, and is using the other party's Kagura's mind's eye to perceive. Although he can only perceive within a range of one kilometer, it is already very good.

"Three elite jonin. How could there be three elite jonin here?"

Fukai was puzzled. The three Anbu ninjas he brought this time were all senior veterans, the elites of the Yeyue clan, and real elite jonin.

But I didn't expect that there were three of Konoha's elite jonin here.

Could it be that Konoha has secretly placed something here?
It can't be such a coincidence!
