Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Mangetsu said, "It would be a waste not to use the body resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation to perish together with it. Moreover, this way, our secrets will not be exposed. Otherwise, if the prestigious Hyuga clan of Konoha were to target us, it would be very disadvantageous for us."

Doing things during a full moon is indeed reassuring...

"From now on, our Hidden Shadow Village will also have a Byakugan princess. This princess will be in the same generation as my little princess in the future..." Lin Yu smiled as he looked at Hinata, who was still fast asleep in his arms.

After turning my gaze away.

"let's go."

Whoosh! Accompanied by the vortex of Kamui, Lin Yu and Mangetsu, along with Hinata, vanished without a trace...

Ten minutes later, the main members of the Hyuga clan, led by Hiashi Hyuga, arrived at the scene and witnessed the devastation.

"Lord Rizu..."

Hiashi Hyuga's Byakugan, veins bulging, stared intently at the corpse of the Cloud Village, his fist clenched tightly beneath his sleeve: "I can only say that this child lacks the destiny to bear the pride of the Hyuga in the future..."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

In the main branch of the Hyuga clan, the first baby born, whether a boy or a girl, will become the heir to the main branch, so from the moment of birth, the entire clan's attention is focused on them...

Even the various clans in the village would send congratulatory gifts.

That was the happiest event for Hyuga in ten years.

but now……

Hiashi said, "Let's go back to the village and tell the Hokage and the clan leaders that there's no need to prepare any gifts."

"And what about you, Lord Hiashi?"

"I'll be there shortly."

"understood."

The members of Hinata have gone back.

Hiashi walked up to the corpse of the Hidden Cloud Villager, picked it up, and his Byakugan eyes, with bulging veins, spewed out a boiling aura of killing intent.

"Kumakuha... From this day forward, I, Hyuga, will never share the same sky with you!!!"

—The Eight Trigrams Empty Wall Palm!

boom!!!

The corpse of the Hidden Cloud Villager crashed through several large trees and fell to the ground, its flesh mangled beyond recognition...

Hiashi turned away coldly and walked away without looking back.

In the middle of the night, near the border, the Cloud Village support team, having waited a long time for the advance troops to return, finally arrived at the scene and saw Kokuin's mangled corpse.

"It seems that Gujiu's mission has failed. Although we are very unwilling, we have no choice but to give up..." said a Cloud Villager.

“Eight Trigrams Empty Palm…” Looking at the injuries on Guju’s body, the operation’s chief commander, Jack, narrowed his eyes and said, “Take Guju’s body to Konoha!”

"Captain Jackie!?"

"Kuji accidentally wandered into the Land of Fire while chasing down a rogue ninja from Kumogakure, only to be killed by Hiashi Hyuga using the Eight Trigrams Palm. We demand that Konoha hand over Hiashi Hyuga's body! That way, the Byakugan will still belong to Kumogakure!" Jackie revealed his insidious scheme.

"But...would Konoha agree to such a request?"

Jack sneered, "This has always been Konoha's style! When faced with a choice that could ignite war, they back down if they can, they compromise if they can! Just tell them that not handing over Hiashi is tantamount to starting a war with Kumogakure!"

Chapter 172 The Shameless Cloud Village, Minato's Decision! (5/5)

In the Hokage's office in Konoha, Minato Namikaze stayed up all night, waiting for news to arrive after learning that the Hidden Cloud Village had abducted the Hyuga clan leader's newborn daughter.

"Third Hokage, you should go back and rest. Leave this to me." Minato looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting to the side, smoking a pipe and waiting.

Hiruzen said, "Now that the Uchiha clan is gone, the Hyuga clan, with their Byakugan, are the backbone of Konoha. Their clan's affairs concern the future of Konoha, and it is my duty to be here..."

Ten minutes later, the ninja who delivered the report said, "Fourth Hokage, Hiashi Hyuga has returned..."

Minato stood up, a look of delight on his face: "Then, his daughter should also..."

His daughter has not returned!

The smile that had just appeared on Minato's face faded.

"The Cloud Village ninja were ambushed and killed on their way. The scene was horrific. Hiashi's daughter is also missing! It seems there's no hope of finding her!"

Minato slowly sat back in his chair, resting his chin on his hands: "Do you know who did it?"

"Unknown, only traces of explosive tags were found at the scene!"

"Explosive tags, it's completely impossible to tell who did it..."

"How are you feeling, Mr. Hiashi?" Minato asked.

"It doesn't look good..."

“Regardless, we should go and offer our condolences.” Minato stood up.

Just then, a Chunin guarding the Konoha gates ran up: "Fourth Hokage, the Cloud Village ninjas are at the entrance to Konoha Village, they claim..."

Upon hearing this...

"Go to the village entrance!" Fourth Generation stood up.

“Then I’ll go to the Hyuga area…” The Third Hokage stood up.

Konoha Village entrance.

Led by Jack, the Cloud Village carried the mangled corpse on the stretcher forward.

"The Fourth Hokage, one of our ninjas, went into the Land of Fire to hunt down a rogue ninja, only to be inexplicably killed by the Hyuga clan..."

"What makes you so sure it was Hyuga who did it?!" A Jonin shouted from behind the Fourth Hokage.

"The injuries are obvious at a glance. His meridians have been shattered by chakra. In Konoha, only the Hyuga clan's taijutsu can accomplish something like this, and such power could only come from Hyuga Hiashi. Hand over his body as we said! Otherwise, Kumogakure will declare war on Konoha!"

They knew the other party was being unreasonable, but they had no evidence to prove that Kumogakure had kidnapped Hinata.

Even if there is evidence, it's the same; the original work proves this point.

Hiashi Hyuga discovered Hinata's whereabouts just after the Hidden Cloud Village kidnapped her and killed the Hidden Cloud Village member on the spot. However, the Hidden Cloud Village still unreasonably demanded that Konoha hand over Hiashi's body, or they would start a war...

At that time, Minato was dead, and Hiruzen returned to the position of Hokage. He made compromises for the sake of peace.

Hyuga Hizashi, who split from the family, sacrificed himself in place of his brother to uphold brotherly love. Although this avoided war and protected the Byakugan, it created Neji's tragic childhood, turning him into a caged bird in both body and mind!

The Fourth Hokage, Minato, is facing an enormous decision!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, arrived at the Hyuga clan's residence, found Hiashi, and explained the situation to him: "Hiashi, I know it's heartless of you to say this to someone who has just lost their daughter..."

"I understand. I was wrong. I lost my composure and gave them a handle to use against me. If I can sacrifice myself, the village can be spared from the suffering of war. I have no choice but to do so..." Hyuga Hiashi decided to die.

"Wait, Hiashi, don't make such a hasty decision..." An elder of the Hyuga clan said beside Hiruzen, "The Hyuga clan's bloodline limit is the village's trump card, and it is the main family's duty to protect it!"

Hiashi said, "But instead of fulfilling our responsibilities, we are dragging the village into the abyss of despair in war..."

“I know all this, so…” the elder said, “that’s why the existence of a separate family is necessary!”

Hiashi was startled and looked at Hyuga Hizashi behind the elder!

“We will send out Hizashi’s body as your substitute… and Hizashi has already agreed to all of this,” the elder said.

Hiashi said, "But what those guys want is the Byakugan's power and secrets. After Hizashi died, the Byakugan's power was sealed. Kumogakure won't accept this method!"

The elder said, "Although they thought the same thing, their condition was to hand over your body to them, pretend to agree to their demands, and then hand over the Japanese servant who looks just like you. After that, those guys would have nothing more to say..."

"but……"

The elder said, "Hiashi, it's time to use you. Generations have always protected the Hyuga's bloodline limit in this way. Even if they are your brothers, you must be ruthless and sever ties... This is the destiny of the main family! This is also the fate of those born into the Hyuga clan!"

Just as Hiashi hesitated, Hizashi stepped forward and said with a faint smile, "Lord Hiashi, who is always so tough, what's wrong this time?"

Hiashi clenched his fist and said, "Today's events are extraordinary; we cannot make a decision so simply!"

Click!

The shrew's palm had already struck the unexpected abdomen of the shrew!

“Hiashi, you…” Hiashi’s eyes widened.

"Please let me go!" Hizashi said.

"You still have Neji, why would you want to die for the main family!"

“That’s not how it is…” Hizashi said, “I resent the main family, and I still do to this day. But that’s why I don’t consider you a member of the main family. Instead, I’m protecting you with my life as my brother. This is the first choice I’ve ever made. It’s a kind of freedom! The me that Neji has always seen has always been humble. Therefore, I understand my own will even more.”

"So I hope that in the future you can tell Neji that I was not killed to protect the main family, but that I chose to die to protect my brothers, my family, and my village based on my own will!"

"Would I choose to die to achieve freedom?" Hiashi asked, his expression complex.

“Brother… even just once is fine. I want to defy the fate of the Hyuga clan and choose my own destiny. That’s all!” Hizashi turned around.

"Hizashi!!" Hiashi stared at his younger brother's retreating figure before losing consciousness.

"Third generation, elder...please make your move!" Hizashi said without any hesitation.

"Let's go to the fourth generation first..."

"That's fine too. Taking action in front of those damned Cloud Village members will shut them up even more!" Hizashi said.

No. Hiruzen secretly hoped that the junior he placed his hopes on would be able to make the decisions that he had the courage to make, but lacked the resolve to make.

Konoha Village entrance.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot comply!" Minato Namikaze looked up, speaking politely but coldly.

"Fourth Hokage, do you want Konoha to be ravaged by war?" Jack said coldly.

"War...?" Minato Namikaze's azure eyes flashed with a cold light.

*Snap!* He transformed into a flash of golden light, and the kunai had already cut a line of blood on Jack's throat...

Just before the blood was about to stain his Hokage cloak, he flashed back to his original spot!

Thump! Jackie knelt down, clutching his bleeding throat, his eyes wide open, and said, "You, do you know what you're doing!?"

“I know, but everyone in this village is my family. I can’t bring myself to sacrifice my family for peace…”

Minato flicked the blood off his kunai, his gaze darkening slightly: "Moreover... everyone knows the truth of the matter. It seems that the past Konoha left you with some wrong impressions, which drove you to provoke us repeatedly. But as long as I, the Yellow Flash, am here, don't even think about using the excuse of war to threaten Konoha!"

Clang! The kunai nailed to the group of dumbfounded Cloud Village ninja.
