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

Chapter 42 Let’s Bully the Snow Country Ninjas
"Tokuma, why are you back?"

At the house of the former clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi's father frowned as he looked at Tokuma in the yard.

The other party is a spy sent by Hyuga Hiashi to the Root. Why did he come back now without reporting to Hiashi? What was he doing here?
"The Third Hokage had Tsunade break the caged bird, and was discovered by Danzo. Now he has given the cracking technique to the clan leader. I am worried that the Hiashi clan leader will not be able to make the right decision, so I would like to ask you to make the decision."

Hiashi's father's pupils constricted and he stared at Tokuma's expression. After confirming that he had no signs of lying, he closed his eyes.

"Tea, sir."

At this moment, a maid came over, her eyes briefly met with Hyuga Tokuma's, and she left after the former clan leader waved irritably.

Hinata Tokuma glanced at the retreating maid, lowered his head and said, "Danzo has already taken control of the Anbu and reached a cooperation with the two consultants. The guards and the unaware ninjas were previously stopped by the Root ninjas, and now they have received orders from the Anbu. No one is supporting Tsunade."

"Isolated and without help, she might leave Konoha temporarily."

"And without her suppression, Danzo would have completely taken control of Konoha."

After listening to Tokuma's description of the current situation, Hiashi's father fell into deep thought.

Under such circumstances, it would be unwise to fight Danzo head-on.

"Okay, tell Hiashi to follow Danzo's instructions for the time being."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order to retreat and leaving the mansion, Hinata Tokuma looked back with a cold gaze.

I was worried that you would have an impact on the Hyuga clan at the end of your life, but I didn't expect that I was a step too late.

It’s a shame that I can’t do it myself…

Inside the mansion, Rizu's father fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face, covering his throat and unable to make a sound.

The maid who had just brought him tea showed a slightly crazy smile and looked at him quietly beside him.

"My Lord, I really want to carve the original caged bird for you, torture you with it, and watch you struggle and die in agony."

"It's a pity, you have a good son. For the sake of Chief Rizu, let's give you a decent death."

Rizu's father's eyes widened, and he wanted to start the bird in the cage, but before he could even raise his hand, his eyes lost their luster.

The maid did not come forward, but waited for another three minutes to make sure that his body had been completely corroded by the poison. Then she went over to remove his white eyes and left quietly.

……

"This, this is..."

Hinata Tokuma walked into the meeting room and was greeted by an ominous silence.

The lights in the room were dim, and the air was filled with a suffocating heaviness.

As the vision adjusted, the outlines of tables and chairs could be vaguely seen. On the floor, irregular dark red spots and lifeless corpses appeared particularly glaring under the dim light.

Hinata Tokuma swallowed, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and looked at the only living person in the conference room.

"Master Hiashi, what happened?"

He did not deliberately put on a look of worry or sadness, and his face remained expressionless as always.

Looking at him like this, Hiashi thought of the branch family members who had just left, and sighed: "It's nothing, just the retribution I deserve."

"You are here to inform me according to Danzo's order."

Rizu stood up, his white clothes were stained with blood, but he didn't care much and walked slowly towards the exit of the room.

Hyuga Tokuma leaned sideways and lowered his head, waiting for Hinata to leave the room and followed him.

"I'm going to change my clothes first, you go inform Hizashi and let him take over the Hyuga clan."

Tokuma was stunned and looked up at Hiashi.

In the midday sun, you can clearly see the other person's serious face with fatigue, and... a hint of relief.

"This time I will stand on Danzo's side. I will bear all the blame. When the Fourth Hokage and his men come back, I will resign from the position of clan leader and Hizashi will be the clan leader. You don't need to call me sir in the future. The Hyuga clan no longer has a main family."

Hinata Tokuma was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Yes!" Hiashi looked up and looked into the distance.

The bird seeking freedom is the first to break the cage and can fly anywhere, but everything in the future is up to you. The bird that is willing to stay in the cage even though it can leave is treated well by its owner because of this.

It's hard to tell the gains and losses.

But since you have chosen this path, I believe you will just keep going forward with a smile. I wish you can fly higher and farther.

……

"If you hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have known that so many people in the tribe wanted to leave."

Walking through the streets of Konoha, Hinata Miyuki glanced at Hinata Yuuki and the team of more than 20 people behind them and took a deep breath.

Hinata Yuuki observed the surroundings with his eyes and said with emotion: "If it weren't for that person, I would not have known that there was a master like you in the branch family."

"I wanted to ask before, who is that?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Hinata Yuuki just shook his head and refused to say anything.

Although they had not yet left Konoha, a Hyuga ninja behind them looked relaxed, without the gloomy look of the past, and said jokingly:
"He kept talking about that adult, that adult, but he refused to reveal it. I even suspected that there was no such person. He wanted to resist, but lacked confidence, so he imagined a powerful existence."

Hinata Yuuki smiled, "Today's events, in a sense, do seem like a fantasy, don't they?"

Hearing this, everyone around chuckled.

Indeed... it was like their dream.

"So... Chief Yushu, where are we going next?"

A Hyuga clan member asked as he glanced at the huge scroll on his waist.

This is a scroll that can store living things. It is not available on the market. It was given to them by Yuki to store their family members.

They didn't have time to explain to these people, so they just knocked them out and took them away.

Plus the sealing technique that suppressed the bird in the cage… It was because of these things of unknown origin that they believed there was someone behind Youshu.

Hinata Yuuki: "Let's go to the Snow Country. The ninjas there are not strong, and there are no weird legends. And because of Danzo's matter, Konoha has no time to pay attention to us for the time being. We can gain a foothold there, cover our tracks, and develop slowly."

Among them, there are 6 jonin and special jonin, but if the Snow Country is rated according to Konoha's rating standards... there is not a single jonin.

"By the way, what are you going to do?"

Thinking that there was still one person he hadn't talked to about his future plans with, Hinata Yuuki asked Hinata Miyuki.

"I'll go with you guys first." Hinata Miyuki shook her head. She hadn't thought it through yet, but the first thing she had to do was probably to stabilize the power in her eyes.

Before her Byakugan evolved, she stopped absorbing pupil power due to current affairs, but the pupil power in her eyes has always been active, as if something is about to be born, but something is missing. She will probably look for that missing thing in the future.

The ninja world has always respected the strong, and if you have strength you can get away with it anywhere. To rebel against the village, on the contrary, you have to improve your strength even more.

Come to think of it, I wanted to thank Yu Jun, but he went to the battlefield.

If he was still in Konoha, he would probably choose to go with them, right?
I don’t know when I’ll have the chance to see you again.

Muttering to themselves, Hinata Miyuki and the others were stopped by several ninjas who suddenly appeared.

"What are you going to do?"

The ninja guarding the gate of Konoha looked at them in confusion and shook his head. He felt that the scene of dozens of pairs of eyes looking at them was somewhat familiar.

When did you meet him?
"The third generation ordered us to go to the battlefield for support." Hinata Yuuki took out the token given by Hiashi with his right hand, and secretly gathered strength with his left hand.

Although Rizu's words are credible, we must not lose basic vigilance.

"I see."

The ninja guarding the gate nodded and made way.

He remembered that he had seen this kind of scene more than half a year ago, when Hinata withdrew from the battlefield.
