Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Akai shook his head slightly: "Let's end the training today. The Hokage wants you to go. The envoy from Kumogakure will be coming to Konoha early tomorrow morning."

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

Yun stood up and nodded, replying, "Then I'll head over first."

"Shh!"

Even with a heavy load, the speed during the Instantaneous Movement is still very fast.

After taking on some of the guard duties at the Hokage Building, Yun looked towards a courtyard at the end of the long street.

Sungai tribe.

At this moment, the Hyuga clan is cleaning up the entire clan grounds, because tomorrow is Hinata Hyuga's third birthday, also from the main Hyuga clan.

Tomorrow is December 27th, the time has come.

It seems I need to take a break from my spiritual practice.

……

Chapter 84: The Cloud Ninja Instantly Killed

At the lively welcoming ceremony, the villagers of Konoha, like those of Kumogakure, were very excited about the alliance between the two villages.

From their perspective, the best days are those where peace can continue.

Standing on high ground, Uchiha Kumo sensed the movements around him to prevent anyone from deliberately sabotaging the alliance.

The streets were bustling with people, and three Cloud Village ninjas were waving to the crowds on both sides of the street. The one leading the group had a bandage wrapped around one eye—that was him!

Yun's gaze was fixed on him, but the noisy crowd didn't attract his attention.

In fact, in my memory, this person's entire behavior seemed quite outrageous.

He went alone to the Hyuga clan's territory to kidnap the main family's youngest daughter, but was discovered by Hyuga Hiashi as he was leaving, and the most outrageous part was...

As an envoy of the Hidden Cloud Village, he should at least not be cannon fodder, but Hiashi Hyuga behind him killed him with just three empty palm strikes.

And look at the mocking smile on this person's lips right now, does he resemble a Root ANBU ninja who is prepared to die to complete a mission?

"Shh!"

Kakashi, who had suddenly appeared beside him, looked at Yun and asked, "Everything went smoothly, did you find anything, Yun?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "There's nothing unusual. But it seems like not a single member of the Hyuga clan is here to watch the spectacle today."

Kakashi replied, "I heard there's something very important happening at the Hyuga clan's territory today, so none of the Hyuga members have been assigned any tasks."

At the end of the long street, just like the three of them in Kumogakure, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, received the alliance agreement brought by the Kumogakure envoy...

Then he stamped it with the Hokage's seal.

The crowd cheered loudly, as if the war was getting further and further away from them.

Yun, standing atop the water tank not far away, sighed. Thieves who are prepared to die will not bring peace.

Yunyin's scheme was an open one. Whoever made the move would die under the Soft Fist.

……

Meanwhile, within the Hyuga clan's territory.

Neji, whose forehead had just been marked with the Caged Bird Seal, was looking at Hinata, who was timidly walking out from a distance.

"She's so lovely, Father."

The man beside him looked down at his son's forehead, and his hands, which had been resting flat on his knees, suddenly clenched, his inner strength bursting forth.

"That's... the person you need to protect with your life. This is your destiny... Neji."

Young Neji was unaware of the helplessness in his father's words, but nodded solemnly and said, "Yes! I will protect Hinata with my life."

Turning his gaze away, Risa's heart was in turmoil.

With Neji's talent, his fate would have been completely different if he had been born into the main family.

For a moment, the guilt he felt as a father made him even angrier and more resentful. However, he knew very well that no matter how angry or resentful he was, it would be of no use.

The caged bird on the forehead symbolizes the fate of a family separating from its members, which is like being locked in a cage...

After a long time...

The elaborate rituals finally came to an end, and Hyuga Hiashi left Hizashi and Neji behind.

Inside the training room, three-year-old Hinata Hyuga and Hiashi began their daily training, but it was clear that Hinata's performance did not satisfy Hiashi.

It was precisely this behavior that caused the ecstasy watching from the sidelines to break down.

Is fate sealed simply because they arrived in this world a few minutes apart? Because of him, even the exceptionally talented Neji is to be branded with this cursed seal that controls life and death!

Hinata... with such talent... how could she possibly inherit the main family?

An involuntary surge of blue energy appeared at the corner of his eye, and the overflowing aura of chakra was instantly detected by Hyuga Hiashi.

"Um?!"

With hand seals formed, Hiashi swiftly shielded Hinata behind him.

"what!!!"

A scream rang out as Hijiri, whose cursed seal had been activated, rolled around on the ground in agony.

"Father!"

Neji stood helplessly by, watching his father in pain but unable to do anything, and could only look longingly at his uncle.

After a moment, Hiashi lowered his hand: "Go back... No one else will know what happened today."

Hizashi, having stopped wailing, lowered his head, and without a word, pulled Neji away from there.

"boom."

The door slammed shut, and Hiashi sighed inside the room.

The deliberate omission of Hizashi and Neji, and the intentional display of Hinata's shortcomings, were all intentional.

Ever since Neji was born, the news that a genius had emerged from the branch family has been constantly heard.

However, the Hyuga clan's centuries-old rules and traditions do not allow for any exceptions to the Caged Bird Seal, not even the clan leader's own brother!

Only by experiencing and witnessing this kind of pain can they remember the rules of Hyuga, and only in this way will Hyuga stop having wild thoughts.

Neji's caged bird has been imprinted; Hizashi should understand that the fate of the family splitting up is unavoidable.

……

Two days later, under the cover of night.

"Shh!"

A dark figure appeared in the Hyuga clan's territory and headed straight for Hinata's room as soon as it landed.

Meanwhile, high up in the shadows, Kakashi reached up and lifted his headband, the three tomoe in his eye sockets beginning to rotate.

After two days of patience, have they taken action? Just as Yun said, their target is Hyuga, specifically the Byakugan's bloodline limit.

"Snapped."

Kakashi was just about to charge down when a hand patted his shoulder.

"It's no use. Your appearance will only drag the Fourth Hokage into this as well."

Kakashi turned around and saw Yun Tong quietly appear behind him: "I need to know the reason."

Uchiha Yun looked at the two people huddled in the shadows not far away: "No one can stop them from coming to Konoha as envoys of the alliance. They used a secret technique to create marks in their bodies as if they had been hit by the Gentle Fist."

"He was prepared to die; whoever attacked him would ultimately die from being struck by the Gentle Fist."

"The remaining two will pin this crime on Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan. Use your Sharingan to take a look; the chakra pathways in his body have been on the verge of being severed for the past two days."

At that moment, a dark figure carrying an unconscious person under his arm rushed out of the Hyuga clan.

Meanwhile, Hiashi Hyuga, who had been awakened by a pebble, was waiting outside.

"Who are you? How dare you attack my Hyuga clan in Konoha?!"

The masked figure opposite remained silent, but the determination in his eyes grew even stronger, and he was about to rush forward.

"Shh!"

Hiashi Hyuga struck with his bare hand, and the Cloud Village ninja coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

So weak?

Hiashi, with a slight frown, picked up Hinata and reached out to pull off the mask of the shadowy figure.

"Snapped!"

Startled, Hiashi took a step back, his expression instantly turning ugly.

An envoy from Kumogakure?

For a moment, Hiashi felt as if a plot against the Hyuga clan was suffocating him.

Just to get an eye roll?

……

Chapter 85: The Beginning

"Shh..."

Hearing the commotion, the Hyuga clansmen who had rushed over appeared behind Hiashi.

Like Hiashi, they were stunned when they finally saw the face of the dead man.

"Master, we must dispose of the body immediately!"

Hiashi Hyuga shook his head slightly and looked towards the end of the street, where two Cloud Village ninjas were lurking, ready to cause a big commotion at any moment.

If they were to take action... then the fact that the Hyuga clan killed the envoy from Kumogakure would become common knowledge, and there would be no way to deny it.

But if we don't take action...
