The Hyuga fire array is missing.

The two separate guards who accompanied him disappeared.

In the eyes of the Hyuga family, this is definitely not something that can be revealed.

This incident also made the elders of the Hyuga clan suspicious after all.

But unfortunately, no matter how they investigated, looking for the witnesses who survived the cruise ship that day, they got only one answer -

Three ninjas of the Hyuga clan are suspected to be on a cruise ship from the Land of Rainbow to the port of the Land of Fire, and are attacked by ninjas who use water escape on the way.

His current whereabouts are unknown, and nothing has been heard from.

I don't know if I'm dead or alive.

That's the worst thing that can happen.

The death of the two separate guards is not a particularly important matter, just like the previous Hinata Shingo, even if they are missing, it is impossible for the enemy to obtain the White Eye.

There is only one way to get rid of the caged bird - and that is death.

But after death, the caged bird will destroy the nerves and eyes of the ninja, leaving the enemy without the slightest usefulness.

Their disappearance is a pity at best, and it does not feel that the matter has reached the point of no return.

But the disappearance of the ninja of the clan family is not a trivial matter.

The Hyuga Fire Array is a member of the Zong family, and the sealing technique set up in the nerves of his brain is not as extreme as the caged bird, and it can be broken.

Once Hinata's white eyes are obtained by the enemy, it is not good news for Hinata and Konoha as a whole.

The role of the white eye at the strategic level is too great.

This matter was also known to the Konoha higher-ups.

Within a few days, they had held more than a dozen meetings in a row to deal with the matter.

The Hyuga Fire Array was lost in the sea between the Land of Rainbow and the Land of Fire, and before the disappearance, according to many eyewitness testimonies, they fought ninjas who used the Water Escape.

"This matter may be a conspiracy of the foggy, and we have to guard against it."

As the leader of the roots, Danzang is also the embodiment of the dark side of Konoha, and naturally speculates on others with his greatest malice.

Because if you think about it from another perspective, if you are a high-level person in the Fog Hidden Village, and you are lucky enough to stumble upon the traces of the Hyuga Sect ninja in the neighboring country of Rainbow, you will naturally be desperate to capture this Zong family ninja and get the precious Blood Inheritance Limit in your hands to study.

"Witnesses on the cruise ship, who said that the ninjas who used the water escape, were not wearing the costumes of the Fog Hidden Village. Although it is impossible to determine the identity of the other party, it is most likely that the misty ninja is disguised. ”

This ninja village, which is basically isolated from the countries of the mainland, is the embodiment of the military power of the water country, one of the five great powers.

At no time should their strength be underestimated.

Since the First Ninja World War, after the battle between the Fog Hidden Village and the Iwain of the Earth Country, the Fog Hidden Village has been recuperating all these years, and the previous Second Ninja World War was the same as the Cloud Hidden Village of the Land of Thunder, and there was no move.

They have been secretly accumulating strength to train good ninjas.

Like the rest of the ninja villages, they are hostile to Konoha .

"As early as when the elders of the Hyuga clan came to me, I had already sent the dark department to negotiate with the high-level of the foggy hidden."

Hizai spoke at this time.

"How do you plan to explain it?"

"They didn't know anything about it, and it also proved that there were no Fog Ninjas at that time, carrying out missions in the waters between the Land of Rainbow and the Land of Fire. They expressed their silence on the incident. ”

"The cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion. They are targeting the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and next time they will pose a threat to the Fire Country and Konoha , Hinata Slash, give the fog a color and see. ”

The regiment commander said loudly.

"In the last ninja war, Konoha lost a lot of manpower, so it's not time to make a big move."

Although relying on the funds provided by the Daimyo of the Fire Country, Konoha's strength is recovering rapidly in a few years, coupled with the endless emergence of young talents, Konoha's strength at the moment can be said to exceed that of the Second Ninja World War.

However, the strength of the Fog Hidden Village is still unknown, since the first ninja war, the fog hidden village has not been on the stage of the ninja war, but it does not mean that the strength of this ninja village will be weak.

"What Hizai said is right, we have no absolute evidence, everything can only rely on speculation, even if it is moral, we are not reasonable, so it is easy to detonate the war."

Konoha has always paid attention to his reputation, and because of this good reputation, as well as the outstanding quality of ninjas, many big businessmen are willing to establish cooperative relations with Konoha and hire Konoha ninjas to complete tasks.

If there is a conflict with Wuyin Village because of this kind of unwarranted reason, it will be beaten upside down by Wuyin Village.

"The reason can be thought about in hindsight, the importance of the white eye does not need to be said by me, you also understand, you must not let the white eye fall into the hands of the enemy. Otherwise, in the near future, the enemy will turn against us with white eyes, and this must not happen. ”

Tuan Zang is steadfast and thinks about the future of the village.

"I'll think about it again."

Hizai's brows furrowed, Danzang's statement also made sense, this kind of thing is likely to happen.

In the past wars, it was because of Hinata's white eyes that the rest of the ninja villages had a headache.

If the enemy uses the same method against them, they will be the ones who will have a headache.

However, he suddenly became at odds with Wuyin Village...... Konoha may end up in an embarrassing situation of being isolated.

Hearing Hizai say this, Danzou and the two advisors understood that this matter would be fooled by him like the mud.

However, this is also a better way to deal with it.

I can't find any evidence, and I don't know who did it, in case this is a trap set by someone else who deliberately made Konoha and Kirihide evil......

This situation should also be taken into account.

Rather than Danzo's suggestion, the two advisors preferred the method of disposition of the Japanese slash.

The village mobilized such a huge amount of manpower for the Hyuga clan to find the missing ninja of the Zong family, but due to the evidence and the identity of the enemy, if there is no key evidence, it can only end here.

Even the elders and patriarchs of the Hyuga clan had nothing to say.

It's not that they don't want to stand up for the Hyuga clan, but the premise is that they have sufficient evidence, and they also have to determine the identity of the enemy who kidnapped the Hyuga Fire Array, so that they can stand up for the Hyuga clan.

"Did Hokage-sama give up?"

In the meeting room of the Hyuga clan, the current patriarchs and all the elders gathered here.

They knew very well what the disappearance of the Hyuga Fire Array meant to the Hyuga clan.

The loss of white eyes, which is a very heavy blow.

"The shadows have not found any news, and the results obtained by the division personnel we sent out to investigate are the same, the identity of the enemy is a suspicious point, and there is a lack of effective evidence, so it can only end here."

An elder said more rationally.

"Last time, Hinata Shingo also disappeared suddenly, and this time the fire array, as well as the two separate families who accompanied him...... I always feel a little suspicious. ”

The other elder crossed his hands, a thoughtful expression.

"Are there any connections between the two disappearances?"

"It's less than a few days apart, so it's suspicious no matter how you look at it, right?"

"That's right, but we can't even determine the identity of the enemy, so we can only stop here."

Although the elders hated the enemies who attacked the Hyuga clan, they couldn't find any clues that they had done these two things, and they didn't know who to vent to.

This kind of thing can't be blamed on the Hokage and other high-level leaders.

"I've heard that Elder Danzo wants to stand up for our Hyuga clan......"

Hinata's father, the contemporary patriarch of the Hyuga clan, heard an elder say such a thing, his face immediately sank, and he asked:

"Who are you listening to?"

"That's what people from outside say."

The elder said with his head bowed.

"In the future, I won't have anything to do with the people at the root, and besides, let them handle the high-level affairs by themselves, and we Hyuga don't have to get involved in this kind of thing."

Patriarch Hyuga glanced at the elders, and his tone was solemn.

That old guy in Tuanzang actually walked such a rumor.

Is it for the position of the next Hokage?

The third generation of Hokage is almost fifty years old, and it is indeed almost time to elect the next Hokage candidate.

It is not easy for the Hyuga clan to get to where they are today, they don't need to participate in any political struggles, they can just be free from the world.

Because no matter what generation Hokage it is, he will not give up the white eyes of the Hyuga clan.

As long as there are ninjas and war markets, the Hyuga clan will be firmly defended by Konoha.

The premise is not to get involved in anything sensitive.

Especially the Hokage controversy.

"If someone is involved in a game between the tops, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't fall for the vices of the Uchiha clan. ”

"Yes!"

Two or three elders bowed their heads weakly, and the rest of the elders shouted loudly.

"Let's continue to investigate the matter of the fire array, no matter what, we must give an explanation to the clansmen. Hizo, this matter is left to you to deal with, as before, I will not interfere, and I will deal with it according to your ideas. ”

The Hyuga patriarch looked at the eldest son Hyuga Hinata next to him, the future heir of the Hyuga clan, and said in a soothing tone.

Over the years, he has not interfered too much in the affairs of his eldest son, Hinata, he wants a qualified Hyuga patriarch, not a puppet in his hands.

He will eventually grow old one day, and Hinata's future will depend on these young people to sustain it.

In any case, a qualified patriarch must have his own judgment of the situation, not just talk on paper.

Seeing this, the elders also understood that the day was not far off when Hinata would succeed the patriarch of the Hyuga clan.

"Yes, father, I'll take care of that."

Rizu nodded solemnly, and also knew that if this matter dragged on, it would be a bit unfavorable to the family, and it must be revealed as soon as possible.

Looking at the information transmitted by Ayane in his hand, Shiraishi was doing research on immortal arts.

"It seems that I don't plan to pursue the disappearance of the Hyuga Fire Array, but it's okay, it saves me a lot of effort."

Even if it is pursued, the time and manpower spent is a relatively large number.

Moreover, at the scene at that time, no evidence was left.

Those ninjas who used the water escape also happened to replace Shiraishi as the object of suspicion of Konoha and Hinata.

Although curious about the identities of those water escape ninjas, Shiraishi did not intend to delve further.

There is no need to deal with such trivial matters, all he wants is to untie the caged birds, and their identities are of no use to Shiraishi.

Whether it's someone from the fog or the rest of the ninja village, there's no need to take it to heart.

Burning this information on an alcohol lamp, Shiraishi began to concentrate on the study of senjutsu.
