Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 28 Ninja Clan
"I didn't expect you to master Flying Thunder God so quickly."

Minato, who was the first to end the battle, walked over.

In the end, Biwa Juzo was not able to survive this mission as he had originally planned.

Minato walked closer and looked at the Flying Thunder God mark on the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon's body, praising:
"That was the Eight Gates Ninjutsu just now, right? I heard from Kakashi that you and Gai studied together with Dai, but I didn't expect you to be able to open the sixth gate."

"And you were able to combine Flying Thunder God and Taijutsu in such a short time... I'm afraid even I'll find it difficult to deal with you like this."

"Hokage-sama, although I can sense that you are sincerely praising me, I don't think I am your opponent."

Looking at the body of Biwa Juzo in the distance, Yu shook his head.

He did not focus all his attention on the Xiguashan puffer ghost just now, but deliberately kept a little attention on the battlefield on the other side of Minato.

Facing Minato alone, even with the limitations of the Mist Hidden Technique, Biwa Juuzou could not last more than a minute.

When Minato activated the Sage Mode and his perception ability improved, he was killed instantly.

Turning his gaze to the disappearing eyeshadow around Minato's eyes, Hinata Hane secretly complained.

He remembered someone saying during the Fourth War that he was not good at magic.

But when he entered the battlefield, he discovered that there was natural energy in Minato's body that was merging with chakra and transforming into fairy chakra.

With rich combat experience, he was ready to deal with the Mist Hidden Technique the moment he entered the battlefield.

Hinata Yu was sure that if he had not come, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would not have been able to hold out for long.

Now, only Biwa Juuzou enjoys the power of the magic.

As for Minato's praise...

If they fight, without using their trump cards, they will probably just use Flying Thunder God to fly around, and no one will win...

Minato himself was just being modest, and was a little surprised at the power of the Eight Gates. He didn't really think that Yu could surpass him now.

The other party has such potential, but he is only fifteen years old and has not yet reached the peak of his ninja career.

As for Hinata Yu's previous concealment of the Eight Gates, he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

There are many hidden ninjas in Konohagakure. Even a Genin like Dai, Minato can feel a hint of pressure from him. Is he going to punish them?
It is natural for ninjas to hide their trump cards. The Hyuga clan rejects physical techniques other than gentle fists. Perhaps Yu did not use it before just out of concern for the main family.

Being able to show it to him now shows my trust in him. Digging too deeply into the matter will only destroy the relationship between both of us.

While they were talking, the effect of the Mist Hidden Technique had disappeared.

Picking up Samehada from the ground, Hinata Yu asked:

"Hokage-sama, what should we do with these ninja swords?"

"Ninja sword..."

He looked around and without the thick fog, Minato's vision became clear again and he soon noticed a broken arm and the thunder sword.

"Where's Black Hoe Thunderfang?"

"I cut off one of his arms and carved the Flying Thunder God Mark on him. He can..."

Stop talking halfway.

Hinata Yu frowned slightly, as if sensing something.

Seeing this, Minato felt a little strange.

"What happened?"

Hinata Yu's expression was solemn, "I sensed that the location of the Flying Thunder God's mark is inside the village."

Minato was stunned and his pupils constricted.

……

root base.

In the dim room, only a weak firelight provided light. Root deputy leader Aburame Ryoma confirmed the identity of the body on the ground, turned to the head of Danzo and said, "Danzo-sama, this is Kuroki Raiga of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Danzo nodded slightly, looked at the Hyuga ninja kneeling beside the corpse, and said calmly:
"Get up."

Hinata Tokuma stood up nervously, lowering his head and not daring to look at him.

"You did not do well. I am the leader of the Root and the An of Konoha. As a member of Konoha, you should have supported the Hokage instead of coming to me. However…."

Danzo changed the subject.

"I admire the abilities of the Hyuga clan. Your Byakugan has irreplaceable advantages in various situations."

"The Root is also in short supply of Hyuga clan ninjas. I can consider your proposal to take the Hyuga branch into my own service, but not now."

Having said that, Danzo turned and walked into the darkness.

"Don't come here for now. Take that body as your trophy and hand it over to the Hokage."

"Yes!" Hinata Tokuma replied with his head down.

"Ryoma, carve the Seal of Root on him."

"clear."

Aburame Ryoma looked at Hyuga Tokuma and said coldly: "Come with me, the root seal evolved from the bird in the cage, and it will not let you show your flaws in front of the Hyuga clan."

……

"Hinata Tokuma..."

In the Hokage's office, Namikaze Minato repeatedly looked at Hyuga Tokuma's information and confirmed with Hyuga Tsubasa: "He is the guard of the main family, right? Why is he on the patrol list?"

"To be precise, he is the future guard. He is the guard specially trained by the clan for the next generation."

Taking the information from Minato, Hinata Yu explained: "He was one year older than me when we were in the ninja school. My impression of him was that he was a calm and mature senior. The main family had high hopes for him."

"Is that so?" Minato frowned.

What they are discussing now is related to Black Hoe Thunder Fang.

After Hinata Yu sensed that the Flying Thunder God Mark on Kurochu Raiga was in the village, Minato's first reaction was that there was a spy helping him.

However, when he and Hinata Yu went to look for the clues that Kurochu Raiga didn't have time to clean up, Hinata Yu gave him an incredible answer.

It was the Hyuga ninja who took away Black Hoe Raiga.

This conclusion was drawn based on the traces of battle left by the last clue.

That's why Minato went back to his office to check the list of patrol ninjas for today.

As for the two consultants, he had temporarily arranged them to other places on the pretext of dealing with the ninja swords and the bodies of the Seven Men.

"Is there a tradition for the branch family to report to the main family before reporting to the Hokage?" Minato thought about it and asked the question he had always avoided.

"Have……"

After a pause, Hinata Yu explained:

"This is part of the ninja clan's right to self-governance."

"Hokage-sama, since you are not from the Ninja clan, you may not know that after the first generation decided that the Hokage had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ninja clan, the second generation once divided the rights of the Ninja clan on this matter."

"When it comes to important intelligence and people from other countries that are time-sensitive, the ninja clan has no right to handle it on their own. They must report it to the Hokage immediately. This is the basic obligation of the ninja clan if they want to stay in Konoha. Otherwise, the Hokage can punish them."

"As for matters that only involve personal merit and are not time-sensitive, they can be discussed within the clan and then reported to the Hokage. However..."

Hinata Yu said in a deep voice: "That's normal times! During wartime, all families must not lag behind in all matters related to the war, and any intelligence must be reported immediately!"

"If it is really the Hyuga family who did it, you can just attack them directly, and the other families will never complain!"
