Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 251 I can already see how you die.
Night enveloped Hyuga Hiashi's mansion in a heavy silence.

Hyuga Neji's figure quietly appeared in the shadows outside the mansion, his brows slightly furrowed as he stared at the building that should have been one of the most important targets tonight.

Unlike the commotion and bloodshed that could be faintly heard from other parts of the tribe's territory, this place seemed to be the eye of a storm, presenting an unsettling stillness and tranquility.

The tall doors were tightly shut, and not a single ray of light shone through the windows. There was no sound either; the entire mansion seemed like an abandoned island.

This excessive silence stirred a strong sense of unease within him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hyuga Neji's eyes bulged with menacing veins.

Roll your eyes, open!

The perspective cuts through the walls and partitions, offering a clear view of the interior of the mansion.

First floor... second floor...

He saw it; in a bedroom, a faint but familiar chakra was curled up—it was Hinata Hyuga.

Beside them were two even fainter clusters of chakra, presumably Hyuga Hiashi's wife and their infant daughter, Hyuga Hanabi, who appeared to be asleep.

However, Hyuga Hiashi's chakra was nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on?" Neji's eyes flickered slightly.

On his way here, he had a brief conversation with several members of the branch family, received several containers containing white eyes from them, and confirmed a piece of information.

Several elders of the main family, including Hyuga Higo, were not at home tonight.

why?
Are they all really gathered at Hyuga Higo's mansion?
"If that's the case, I wonder if the people we send over there will be able to handle it..." Doubts churned in Hyuga Neji's mind.

After a moment's hesitation, he focused his mind again, and the veins around his eyes became even more prominent, almost as if they were about to burst.

The White Eye, enhanced several times over, was now unleashed at full power, pushing its perception to its limit.

Finally, scanning towards the master bedroom that belonged to Hyuga Hiashi in his memory, he caught a faint, almost imperceptible flow of chakra.

“That is…” Neji’s pupils suddenly narrowed, “a sealing barrier used to interfere with, block perception, and spy?”

Something was definitely fishy!
Without the slightest hesitation, Neji's figure flashed like a ghost, silently skimming over the high wall and landing in the courtyard of the mansion.

With light footsteps, without making a sound, like a shadow blending into the night, he swiftly crossed the corridor and arrived outside Hyuga Hiashi's room.

With a light touch of his fingers on the door, a slight flow of chakra caused the latch inside to be silently dislodged. He then slid sideways into the room, his movements as fluid as if he had rehearsed them a thousand times.

The room was pitch black, but thanks to his Byakugan, which had been enhanced several times, he immediately locked onto that wall.

Click.

Extend your finger and press it on the mechanism. With a soft click, a hidden door that blends perfectly with the wall slowly slides open, revealing a stone staircase extending downwards.

Neji took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp, and stepped into the darkness.

Kaka.

The hidden door behind him slowly closed, but Hyuga Neji paid no attention to it, focusing his attention on what was in front of him, his figure gradually being swallowed by the shadows.

But he didn't see the hidden door behind him, which was about to close.

呲!
A faint whooshing sound rang out as a kunai, gleaming with a cold light, jammed the closing of the hidden door, making a soft clicking sound.

Meanwhile, in another bedroom, only the sound of deep breathing could be heard, and only darkness could be seen.

A cat's shadowy form silently leaped to the window outside, its amber-like pupils and pure white eyes gazing at Hinata Hyuga, who was fast asleep inside the room. "Meow..."

A sharp cat's meow seemed to ring in her ears, causing Hinata Hyuga's eyelids to tremble slightly.

Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, sat up sleepily, and subconsciously looked out the window.

Nothing.

It was as if it were just her dream.

All that could be seen was that the originally bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, making the already deathly dark night even more desolate, and I inexplicably felt a sense of unease and chill.

Sensing the source of the chill, Hinata Hyuga turned around and saw the door that wasn't completely closed.

"Father?" she called softly, a hint of doubt in her voice.

no respond.

But the night grew darker and the chill deepened.

Inside the underground passage, Hyuga Neji walked silently, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He had expected to encounter possible resistance after touching the barrier, so his muscles were tense, his chakra was ready to be unleashed, and his mind was highly focused.

However, as they descended, apart from the faint echo of their own footsteps on the stone steps, they encountered no obstacles and did not trigger any mechanisms.

This unusually smooth success, ironically, heightened his unease and vigilance to the extreme.

Finally, after climbing the last step, a heavy iron gate, also engraved with complex seals, appeared before them.

The iron gate was not locked. He raised his hand and gently pushed it open, and it creaked open.

Inside the door was a very spacious secret room, the only source of light being an oil lamp flickering on the wall, casting an inconsistent glow.

And just as Hyuga Neji stepped into the secret room.

call!
A sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from the side, and a figure, as if it had been lying in wait for a long time, rushed in with astonishing speed, the sound of the wind whipping up the robes was muffled and piercing.

Almost as soon as he heard the wind, Hyuga Neji twisted his waist and turned around, his chakra exploding instantly. He unleashed a powerful Gentle Fist Palm Strike, slamming it down on the attacker!
boom! !

The two palms collided violently, and a powerful shockwave suddenly exploded from the point where their palms met.

The flame of the oil lamp in the sealed room was blown wildly and almost went out, casting the shadows of the two people on the wall in a twisted and wild dance.

"So, you were hiding here after all!"

Hyuga Neji steadied himself, staring intently at the figure before him. His chest heaved, and the flickering oil lamp in the secret room clearly illuminated the rage that had been suppressed in his eyes for many years.

"Hyuga Hiashi!" He practically spat out the name through clenched teeth.

However, Hiashi Hyuga's face showed no emotion whatsoever. There was neither the panic of being discovered nor the anger of facing Neji; only a stagnant silence.

“You shouldn’t have come,” he said.

"I'll kill you!"

Looking into those white eyes, Hyuga Neji said, enunciating each word clearly, his white eyes gleaming with a chilling light: "My eyes can now see your death!"
