Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

late at night.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the children's faces inside the room.

The room was dark and quiet, with only the sound of a child's even breathing.

Invisible ripples appeared out of thin air, and a tall figure silently appeared in the room, the scarlet eyes under the one-eyed mask particularly glaring in the dark room.

Obito Uchiha stared at the child lying on the bed without a trace of emotion. He walked step by step toward Hinata on the bed without making a sound.

The black iron rod slid out of his wide sleeve and landed in his palm.

Obito Uchiha felt no pity for the little girl who had seen his true face.

Although the surrounding patrolling ninjas have been temporarily controlled by White Zetsu, patrol teams will take over soon.

Therefore, he didn't have much time and had to get rid of this Hyuga clan member cleanly and efficiently.

He stood by the window, his Sharingan coldly fixed on the clueless brat, his black staff raised high, and then…

A direct stab to Hinata's throat!

boom!

The sound of metal clanging instantly rang out!

In the blink of an eye, Hinata opened her pure white eyes, and a kunai appeared in her hand. She blocked Obito Uchiha's attack the moment the black rod fell!

Seeing this, Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes.

With a flick of her wrist, Hinata's kunai soared into the air, its thunderous force forcefully deflecting the black rod as it thrust straight toward Obito Uchiha's face!

As expected, Hinata's kunai pierced through Obito Uchiha's face, and she herself was also pierced through Obito's entire body by the force of the impact.

The moment Hinata separated from Obito's body, Obito suddenly turned around and grabbed Hinata with his hand!

However, as if Hinata had anticipated this, the moment she passed through Obito's body, she somehow produced two shuriken in her other hand and shot them straight at Obito's face!

In the faint moonlight filtering through the curtains, two barely perceptible threads gleamed faintly in Hinata's hand and in her shuriken.

This led Obito Uchiha, who intended to use his mask to withstand the shuriken, to choose Kamui Hollowfication.

Bang~

The shuriken made a dull thud as it struck the wall.

Hinata tugged at the thread in her hand, and the shuriken that had been nailed to the wall was instantly torn off. At the same time, the wallpaper on both walls also came off.

The wallpaper fell down, revealing the interior.

Two entire walls were covered with a dense array of explosive tags!

"Are you planning to take me down with you?"

With a mocking look in his crimson eyes, Obito Uchiha sneered as he watched Hinata slowly stand up in front of him.

"I never expected that you, who showed up during the day, would reappear so soon to try and assassinate Hinata."

"It seems your true appearance is very important to you."

Hinata's voice was deep and calm. As white smoke rose, an equally tall figure appeared in front of Obito Uchiha.

A tall, white-haired young man whose face was half-covered.

Kakashi Hatake.

"If that brat dies, I'd actually be happy to play with you for a while."

"But unfortunately, now is clearly not a good time to play games with you."

A playful smile curved the corners of Obito Uchiha's lips beneath his mask. He raised his arm and brought it down, his entire body disappearing as the arm fell.

Kakashi frowned upon seeing this, and with a sudden burst of strength, the rope binding the shuriken in his hand tightened around Obito Uchiha, who was about to disappear.

Clang...

The shuriken fell to the ground and lay limply in the corner.

……

A red signal flare slowly rose and exploded in the sky.

Hiashi Hyuga, standing in the Hyuga clan compound, gazed at the signal flare in the sky, his usually dignified face now filled with solemnity.

"Pass down the order: the entire clan must prepare for war."

Hyuga Hizashi immediately accepted the order without hesitation and prepared to gather his clansmen to fight the enemy.

Hyuga Hizashi was about to accept the order and leave, but...

A figure strolled leisurely through the wall towards the brothers.

"I see, so in the end, it all came back to Hyuga."

"It seems everyone thinks home is the safest place..."

The mocking and humiliating words uttered from beneath the masks made Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi's faces turn extremely ugly.

This person treats the most prestigious clan in the ninja world as if they can come and go as they please.

"Thief!"

"Die!"

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Hiashi Hyuga shouted in a low voice, his body bursting with astonishing chakra. He struck out with his palm, and a hurricane-like airflow instantly swept towards Obito Uchiha!

Without exception, the Eight Trigrams Palm pierced right through Obito Uchiha's body!

It's still Kamui intangible!

"I suggest you have another child, because your daughter is going to die today."

Obito Uchiha walked towards Hiashi Hyuga, completely disregarding the man. His body was full of openings, yet Hiashi Hyuga felt powerless against him.

Imagine someone walks up to you and tells you in person that he's going to kill your daughter, and you, as the father, are powerless to stop it.

Even if you wanted to die with him, you couldn't.

This bloody and cruel reality caused Hyuga Hiashi's forehead veins to bulge!

"A madman!"

Enraged, Hiashi Hyuga gathered chakra at his fingertips and charged towards Obito Uchiha!

One palm strike, two palm strikes, three palm strikes...

All to no avail!

With a warning from the White Zetsu lurking underground, Obito Uchiha headed in a specific direction with a clear objective.

He had to kill Hinata Hyuga before the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived.

"stop!"

"asshole!"

"Die!"

"You damned Uchiha!"

One after another, members of the Hyuga clan rushed towards him, but they were completely helpless against this utterly unsolvable eye technique.

Obito Uchiha quickened his pace, ignoring houses, roads, walls, Hyuga clan members, and all obstacles, following the coordinates provided by White Zetsu, and sprinted towards his target in a straight line.

Each time he passes through a wall or encounters an obstacle, he pauses Divine Might and then immediately uses it again, refreshing the five-minute duration of Divine Might.

finally……

"I will not allow you to hurt Hinata."

In an ordinary little house within the Hyuga clan's territory, a boy stood in front of Obito Uchiha.

Behind him was Obito Uchiha's target.

Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata's gaze fell on Obito Uchiha, who had broken through layers of defenses.

To be honest, she wasn't too nervous.

Hinata knew that with such a big commotion happening in the Hyuga clan, there must be someone watching over them.

Looking at the white-haired boy blocking his path, Obito Uchiha showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

He simply walked up to the white-haired boy, raised the black stick in his hand, and stabbed him.

Since you're so eager to die, then you might as well die with Hinata Hyuga.

but……

The raised black stick could not fall...

His arm was tightly gripped by a hand.

"What do you want to do to my son?"
