Suddenly, he stopped walking, and a smile appeared on his usually restrained, handsome face.

Konoha, with its age spots...

This will likely divert some of the village's attention.

We can buy more time.

At least for the time being, there won't be so many annoying little bugs staring at us all the time anymore.

Hinata Seiran started walking again, his expression as usual, casually glancing at a large tree ahead.

In his perception, a very faint chakra resonance was emanating from there.

Hidden inside the tree trunk is a white Zetsu.

Ever since unleashing the Super Shinra Tensei in the Land of Iron, Hyuga Seiran has noticed that these guys have become virtually ubiquitous, appearing everywhere.

Madara's spies were present in Konoha's logistics camps, the returning army, and even in the Hyuga clan's territory.

He was almost certain that not only Konoha, but Iwagakure had probably also been infiltrated by a small number of White Zetsu.

The purpose is self-evident.

Find out exactly what happened at that time.

"Age spots... won't allow the plan to go astray."

Hinata Seiran chuckled inwardly.

More accurately, it should be Black Zetsu.

After all, this is the only time in a thousand years that we have come so close to “success”.

However, this is for the best.

The sooner the freak surfaces, the more time it will buy him.

Now that the eye-rolling is in hand, all that's needed is to find the right opportunity to seize a trump card that can change the course of the game.

"As for the mastermind who has been hiding behind the scenes..."

"Then please reveal your true form in advance."

He suppressed his smile, straightened his collar, and then raised his hand to gently knock on the heavy door in front of him.

"Chief, I've arrived."

A moment later, the heavy wooden door was slowly pulled open.

Hiashi Hyuga, who was usually solemn and meticulous, was unusually tired at this moment, with a heavy shadow even appearing under his eyes.

Clearly, the days of hard work and the constant "rebellion" within the clan had left him exhausted.

"It's Qinglan... Come in."

The two walked through the quiet corridor and arrived at a reception room that exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance.

Hiashi Hyuga himself picked up the teapot and, with somewhat stiff movements, poured a cup of hot tea for Aoyama.

The steam from the tea blurred his vision.

Hiashi Hyuga stared at the tea leaves churning in his cup.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"Qinglan, even at this point, you can still remain so calm... I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"You flatter me, Chieftain."

No, I'm serious.

Hiashi Hyuga picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and seemed to want to use the slight bitterness to temporarily dispel the weariness in his heart.

"The large-scale theft of the White Eyes has enraged the clansmen, and the elders have begun to waver. Some have even started to have inappropriate thoughts."

"The Hyuga clan today is beyond what can be described simply as turbulent."

At this point, he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, but the laugh was full of helplessness.

"Although I don't know whether it was that old thief Danzo who stole the Byakugan, or Ao who took it from the shadows."

"But in my opinion, whoever it is, they are all unreasonable robbers."

"As for the outside world, the Third Hokage and the Hokage advisors... seem to no longer fully trust our Hyuga clan."

Hiashi Hyuga raised his head, a deep sense of powerlessness emanating from his pure white eyes.

He looked at the family member in front of him who had always been calm, disciplined, and could even be described as "perfect".

Finally, at this moment, she whispered her true feelings.

"Qinglan, what do you think is the right path for our Hyuga clan?"

"Is Konoha truly no longer able to tolerate us?"

"No, clan chief. It's just that Danzo can't tolerate it anymore."

Hyuga Seiran smiled slightly: "If it were a 'new Hokage'..."

"They would probably welcome us more."

……

Elsewhere, in a dimly lit underground cavern.

Because it has never seen the light of day, the entire cave is always filled with the cold, damp atmosphere of the soil and stone walls.

However, for the people here, it is commonplace.

With his long hair flowing down his shoulders, Obito Uchiha was leaning somewhat laboriously against a twisted tree root.

His right side of his body has been largely reconstructed, but the feeling of having flesh and blood and a right hand again is still somewhat unfamiliar to him.

"Ah Fei, when will I finally be able to go back...?"

His tone was listless, full of longing.

"I miss Rin so much, and I miss Kakashi and the others... I'd even just sneak a peek at them."

Beside him, a strange-looking white creature with a head resembling a spiral mask was hanging upside down from a tree root, responding in an exaggerated tone.

"Oh dear, Obito, you're thinking about these pointless things again."

"Lord Ban said that your body needs more time to adapt."

"And Konoha is in pretty dangerous right now. Although the war with Iwagakure is over, Konoha is still far from peaceful!"

"That's precisely why I want to go back!"

Obito interrupted Tobi urgently.

"Do you know how shocked I was when Zetsu told me that the village had been driven all the way to our doorstep by Iwagakure?"

"Kannabi Bridge was blown up by me and Kakashi!"

"How could the village have fallen into such a state? What were the Hokage and Minato doing? If Orochimaru hadn't ended the war in the end, I can't even imagine what kind of danger Rin and Kakashi would have faced..."

As Obito became more and more excited, he didn't notice that when he mentioned "Lord Orochimaru resolved the war," Tobi's body visibly paused.

He was clearly trying not to laugh.

"I must become stronger quickly and then leave this awful place..."

"When I get back, Rin and Kakashi will be in for a big surprise!"

Ah Fei nodded repeatedly, agreeing earnestly as if he were listening attentively.

But if you look closely, you'll find that his attention is no longer on Obito.

Instead, it landed on the white Zetsu in the distance who was giving him an "OK" sign.

Afei nodded slightly, as if he had received some signal, before looking at Obito again and speaking in a serious tone.

"Oh right, Obito."

"I have something very important to tell you."

"what's up?"

Obito felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Sunagakure and Kirigakure haven't been behaving themselves lately either..."

Ah Fei drawled out his words, adding a touch of mystery.

"Who knows when they might launch another attack on Konoha! And that Rin you keep talking about might be going to the front lines again soon."

"what?!"

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened suddenly.

The war with Iwagakure has just ended, and now Sunagakure and Kirigakure are coming?!

How can there be so many wars?!

"No, I need to speed up my rehabilitation training immediately!"

He pushed himself up from the ground, his expression more serious than ever before.
