Hyuga clan land.

As a wealthy family in the past, it seems that the interior is in a crisis of lack of trust between the clan and the branch.

This is also a matter of course, as ninjas who are outsiders, they may not know what kind of crisis has arisen within the Hyuga clan, but as the rulers of the Hyuga clan, they undoubtedly know what kind of chaos has occurred within their own family.

So much so that for several months after the war, they were hesitant to send ninjas to the front line to assist in the battle.

However, the fact that the 'caged bird' was cracked is not only a provocation to the rules and bottom line that have been agreed upon by their clan for thousands of years, but also to destroy the peace within their clan.

If this continues, maybe the village will remain prejudiced against the Hyuga clan as well.

There are more people from the Uchiha clan who went to the battlefield this time than in the last ninja war, and even the ninjas who were dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan had to keep their mouths shut, unable to control the Uchiha clan in this matter.

After all, even the new patriarch Uchiha Fugaku personally went to the battlefield and fought bloodily with Konoha's colleagues.

Hinata, who is a wealthy ninja with the Uchiha, did not dare to send ninjas to the front line because of the crisis of trust...... And now, it seems that the dust will settle immediately.

In the family conference room, the current ruler has become the eldest son of the outstanding patriarch of the younger generation - Hinata Hyuzu.

He sat in the first place, with the elders of the sect family on the left and the elders of the separate families on the right, and the two factions were distinct.

"Now that the family can't afford any losses, Hinata Ayane assists Iwakure as a defector ninja, which is revenge on our Hyuga clan."

A clan elder of the Zong family spoke.

Losing the clamp of the caged bird means that the other party has completely flown over the 'bird cage', and the rules of the Hyuga clan cannot restrain the other party's body and mind.

"Hokage-sama, over there, hopes that our side can send out some manpower."

"How is it possible to send people at such a time? Insiders are panicked, can't they resign? ”

"Hokage-sama naturally doesn't care, but if he continues to be indifferent like this, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors in the village...... Don't forget, the Konoha White Fang incident was just yesterday. ”

When these words were spoken, whether it was the patriarch of the clan or the elder of the branch family, they were all awe-inspiring and silent.

Maybe that Hokage-sama didn't want to do that, but as the darkness of Konoha and the leader of the roots, Shimura Danzo, might not take some extreme measures.

Their Hyuga clan is different from the Uchiha clan, if they leave a bad impression on those high-level leaders, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the village, and the reputation accumulated in the past will also be burned.

After that defection, even the patrol shadows around the Hyuga clan have become more numerous.

This is a red flag that has never been seen before.

The loyalty of the higher-ups to the Hyuga clan...... At the beginning of suspicion and suspicion.

Of course, the matter is not so serious, after all, Hinata is different from the Uchiha, there is no conflict with the Senju family, and the relationship is harmonious enough, and there must be no more forks at this time.

The sudden increase in patrols is more due to the need to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

In a sense, it's also a good thing for the Hyuga family.

"Without Hokage-sama's trust, the Hyuga clan will struggle in the future."

"Yes, Elder Tuanzang is a difficult person to speak."

"The roots are not targeting the Uchiha clan for a day or two, and if you are on the list of the roots, it will be difficult to live in the future."

It was not easy to win this position in the huge Konoha Village, and the clan land also occupies one of the best locations in Konoha instead of being excluded from the center like the Uchiha clan.

Even if the Uchiha clan is excluded from the center, they have a powerful garrison and the most elite ninja power in Konoha that cannot be ignored.

However, the Hyuga clan does not have these advantages, and once they lose the trust and support of the Hokage and other high-level leaders, their right to speak in Konoha is zero.

In addition, on the night of the defection incident, a lot of combat power was lost, an elder of the clan was killed, many strong shinobi were not defected, but also killed by traitors, and a series of subsequent effects, some of the separated families who did not leave seemed to have strange thoughts, resulting in a sharp decline in the strength of the Hyuga clan now.

"Since you can't send the ninjas of the separate family, how about letting the ninjas of the clan go to the battlefield?"

An elder of a divided family proposed.

His words immediately aroused the hostility and dissatisfaction of the elders of the sect family.

"This is too risky, what if the ninja of the clan has an accident on the battlefield?"

"But now that the family is like this, there are too few family ninjas who can give trust."

The elder sighed helplessly.

"Even if that's the case, you can't let the people of the sect family risk going there. What if the white eyes appear? It's your family's duty to protect the clan, right? ”

The patriarch glared at him coldly.

"But now it's not just a problem within the family, now the battlefield is in urgent need of the assistance of the white eyes, the ninjas of the split family lack trust, and the ninjas of the clan cannot participate in the war...... By the time rumors start in the village, it's too late to talk about it. ”

"Hmph, isn't it the fault of your family breakup? It's okay to let a split ninja go to the front line, but if a split ninja goes to the battlefield, their family members must be closely monitored 24 hours a day, and they are not allowed to step outside the house. That way, even if the caged bird is untied, they are not at risk of defecting. ”

"You-"

The elder of the division had an angry look on his face.

"Your family is not trustworthy now, it is for the sake of the continuation of the family. The family will also remember their exploits. ”

The patriarch sat there calmly and said this.

In the face of the senseless quarrel between the clan and the elders of the sect, Rizu has long been accustomed to this kind of thing sitting on the main seat.

In the past few months, there have been 80 quarrels about this kind of thing, if not a hundred times.

However, even the elders of the clan who were usually calm and indifferent have become so irritable and flustered, and it is the first time that Rizu has seen them.

In his past impression, the temper of the elders of the clan was not so impatient.

It seems that the serious problems faced by the clan have begun to mess with themselves.

"Come in."

Hinata spoke there, and the flat voice put a silly silence to the boring quarrel in the conference room.

The door of the conference room opened, and a young man who looked similar to Hizoku walked in, nodded slightly to the elders, and finally looked at Hizoku directly in front of him.

"Hinata Hinata asks to fight."

Kneeling on one knee, Hinata calmly spoke in the center of the conference room, not afraid of war.

It's just for the sake of the future of the clan, or maybe it's to protect something...... In short, these are enough things to sacrifice one's life and defend for the day difference.

"The day difference, you ......"

The patriarch stared at the sunset, thinking that he shouldn't have been there at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Elder, but I can't sit idly by and watch a clan conflicted over something like this frivolous. Since we bear this name, and as a member of the Konoha ninjas, war is our destination. ”

"But ......"

"It's okay." Hizo's flat voice sounded, and he stood up from the main seat, looked at the elder who wanted to speak, and said, "I will go to the battlefield with Hiza. ”

"What!?"

Rizu's words not only shocked the elders of the divided family, but also the elders of the sect were also shocked.

It's just that Riza is not unexpected, and Rizu's decision is also expected by him.

"Lord Hizo, it's not okay to do this, how can you let yourself take risks?"

"But the family has become like this, is there still enough personnel to be arranged on the battlefield?"

Rizu asked the elders of the sect family like this.

"This ......"

"All the elders are so old, just enjoy your old age here, and leave the battle to us young people. No matter how you say it, I'm also Konoha's shinobi. ”

Hinazu said.

The clan elders looked away and coughed.

"Yes, yes, since Lord Hizoku said so, then we old bones should sit in the rear and stabilize the family. We'll also arrange the security for Hisaki-sama. ”

Fight?

For the clan elders, that was a long time ago.

Was it twenty years, or thirty years ago?

Although it is not to the point of not daring to kill, the fighting skills and mentality have long been rusty.

◎

"Is Hinata's patriarch going to the battlefield himself? What a hassle. ”

In the plains on the Hokage Rock, Danzo gathered six squads of roots, a total of twenty-four people.

The roots that converged here drew almost half of the fighters from the roots.

After learning that Hinata Hinata, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, was also going to the battlefield, Tuanzo couldn't help but bite his fingers and felt that things were tricky.

His original intention was to let the Hyuga clan send a trusted ninja to the battlefield to support, rather than the clan's personnel.

As for how to make the ninjas of the split family become trusted, in Danzang's opinion, the methods are also diverse, and there is no need to let the people of the clan go to the battlefield.

After all, Hinata is different from the Uchiha, he has always done his job honestly, even if he is the head of the roots, he can't find fault with anything in this regard.

"Ryoma."

"Danzo-sama."

A root member stepped forward.

"Your team is responsible for contact with Hinata's people, so be sure to 'protect' Hinata's safety."

"Yes."

A root ninja named Ryoma knows.

The so-called 'protection' is carried out within the power of the enemy, and if you encounter a dangerous situation that you are not sure of, then even if you destroy the white eye, you will not be able to let the enemy get your hands.

Ryoma disappeared from the place with the three members of his team, joined up with the members of the Hyuga clan, and went to the front line of the Grass Country together.

"The rest of me come with me."

Danzou led the remaining twenty root members to leap off the Hokage Rock and quickly run towards the large forest outside Konoha.

"It's a long time since I felt like I was living on the battlefield......"

Tuan Zang muttered to himself, perhaps in anticipation of the bloody storm that was about to unfold, and the blood in his body began to boil.

In the big forest outside Konoha.

"Danzo-sama!"

The man with thick eyebrows chased after him from behind, causing the vigilance of many root ninjas.

That ninja was none other than Maite Dai.

Shinobu Konoha who performed well on the night of the defection.

Although I don't know any illusion and ninjutsu, I can rely on physical skills to be able to take charge on my own.

Because of the lack of leadership skills, and the fact that he is useless except for physical skills, he has not been promoted to the middle ninja so far.

But even if it's Shinobi, no one can question his strength.

"Don't do it, it's your own people."

Danzo's words worked, and the root ninjas stepped aside.

"Sorry, I seem to be a little late."

Day scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, I was going to wait here for you for a while. Do you know the mission to the battlefield this time? ”

Danzang asked.

"Yes." When Dai heard this, his face immediately became serious: "It's to deal with the S-level traitor Hinata Ayane, I'm ready." ”

His mood was also very high.

Among Konoha, the Hyuga clan's soft fist is very famous, and the rigid fist he learned is the opposite of the physical technique.

He had long wanted to learn the Hyuga clan's soft boxing, but unfortunately he never had this opportunity.

Dai and Tuan Zang hurried in the direction of the Grass Country, and Tuan Zang looked ahead and said softly but forcefully: "According to the information transmitted from the front, the soft fist of the renegade Hinata Ayane surpasses the common sense judgment of the Hyuga clan's soft fist. ”

"What do you mean?"

The meaning is very simple, her soft fist is beyond our knowledge of the Hyuga ninja. It is a white-eyed ninja who surpasses the white-eyed. If you treat Hinata Ayane from the same perspective as the Hyuga clan in the village, the consequences will be very disastrous. ”

Tuan Zang's face was solemn.

Dai pondered, although he didn't understand what was going on, but it meant that the other party was very strong was this simple and easy-to-understand truth.

As soon as Tuan Zang said this, his heart became even more enthusiastic.

The white eyes that surpass Hinata's white eyes are really a strong enemy to look forward to.

"Don't worry, Danzo-sama, after the special training arranged by Hokage-sama, I am no longer what I used to be. And ......"

Speaking of this, Dai's face became solemn, and he subconsciously glanced at his ninja bag, and there was also a secret weapon provided for him by the village.

"Really?"

There was no emotion on Tuan Zang's face, and he probably guessed what was prepared in the ninja bag he was wearing.

◎

The Land of Grass, the Rock Hidden Camp.

"One more bowl!"

Inside the single-person tent, bowls are stacked on top of each other, creating a breathtaking sight.

After eating a bowl of somen noodles, Ayane asks the chef here to add another bowl.

“…… No, no, the food in the cafeteria is gone. ”

The person in charge of distributing the food almost burst into tears.

This woman is so good at eating.

The food that can only be eaten by forty or fifty people can be solved directly by one person, and this is not the bottom limit.

After eating like this, it feels like the rest of the people don't have to eat.

There are already many people complaining about how the food has suddenly been running out lately.

And the culprit is naturally the female ninja in front of her who has a mediocre appetite.

"Really? Don't try to lie to me, I'm white-eyed. ”

Ayane pointed to her eyes.

“……”

I forgot that there was such a trick.

The trick of deceiving and crying miserably has no effect in the face of white eyes.

It was at this moment that the door to the tent opened.

The tall Iwakure Shinobi Loess, and the explosive head type Explosive Ninja Hunter walked in together.

"Lord Loess, Lord Hunter."

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

The officer in charge walked out briskly with relief.

"Really, don't bother me while I'm eating, didn't I say that I don't want to talk about business during dinner. Shouldn't you add another bowl to me at this time? ”

Ayane was sullen.

"Are you really a ninja of the Hyuga clan?"

Loess glanced at the dozens of empty bowls on the table, and began to have a headache to support his forehead.

This woman really thinks this is her home.

"Look at my incomparably pure eyes, you know that I am from the real Hyuga clan."

Ayane said so.

“……”

Loess looked at Ayane's white eyes and the empty bowls piled up like a hill in front of him, and he didn't know where to start complaining for a while.

"And it's not your own rule that you set your own rules for free food and lodging? I'm just following your rules. ”

"It seems that next time Tsuchikage-sama will attach the clause 'bring your own food' to the recruitment form."

The Explosive Ninja Hunter on the side smiled helplessly.

"As a ninja of the five great powers, is it so stingy? Do you have to pay for this little bit of food? ”

"No matter how generous you are, you can't stand your stomach."

Loess sighed.

Ayane didn't speak, clearly upset by the lack of food.

"So, what's the matter with me?"

"A big order with a deposit of 30 million taels."

Loess gestured to Hunting.

Kami willed, and placed the black leather box full of cash in front of Ayane.

Inside was thirty million taels of cash.

"A deposit of 30 million taels? Is there something new on Konoha's side? ”

Ayane was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to open such a large amount of deposit.

If there is, it means that Iwakure is in trouble right now.

And this level of trouble, the difficulty may not be low.

"According to accurate information, Konoha's roots have joined this side of the battlefield."

"Tuanzang?"

"I'm not sure if Danzo himself is here, but the patrol team did get attacked by the Root Ninja."

Loess clasped his hands in front of his chest, with a solemn expression.

As a deeper inner organ in the dark part of Konoha, the root has always been a major problem in the hearts of the major ninja villages.

And the leader of the root is the one known as the 'Darkness of the Ninja', the head of the Shimura clan, Shimura Danzo.

That's the previous generation of Hokage, a disciple of the fastest man in the ninja world, a thousand hands, and the current three generations of Hokage, a powerful ninja who has experienced the first ninja war and the second ninja war.

It was a strong enemy that he had to watch out for.

"It's really strange, the operation of the root has always been known for stealth, and if it does, there shouldn't be any living mouth left to interrogate."

"The other party's goal is you."

Loess said succinctly.

The white eyes that wandered outside, Konoha learned the news from here, and it was natural to take measures.

"Am I being targeted? It's terrifying, you Iwakuin must protect me. ”

“……”

If Ayane had made a scared face, maybe she would have had some truth in what she said.

However, her face did not say that she was afraid, but looked full of expectation, so that Loess knew the bad character of the woman in front of her.

And then think of her abnormal appetite...... Is it really from the Hyuga family?

"Reinforcements from Iwakuin will take another week to arrive."

"Is it going to take that long?"

"No way, there's a war going on there in the north. We have to take into account the pressure on Yun Yin's side. ”

"It feels like your alliance with the Sand Hidden is fake."

"Each has its own needs, Konoha's strength is too strong, and it is really difficult to sleep without starting a war to weaken his strength."

"You're sincere, loess forbearance."

Ayane stood up, brushed her long black hair, and smiled.

"This guy Loess is indeed an honest man, just look at his well-developed limbs."

Explosive Ninja Hunter interjected on the side.

Loess glared back at him.

"Huh." Ayane chuckled twice, and then asked, "So, what is the specific content of the mission with a deposit of 30 million taels?" ”

"Come to the battlefield here, the lives of all the root ninjas. An additional 5,000,000 taels bounty is added for each kill, with no upper limit. How much bounty you can get depends on your individual performance. The 30 million taels here will be given to you. ”

"No wonder so many bounty hunters are making their heads and blood, and they all want to cooperate with you Iwain."

"Honesty and generosity are the capital of our underground black market."

"What about time?"

"The sooner the better. If we can get the head of Shimura Danzo, we can pay 100 million taels. ”

"Really? Then I'll go to work. ”

Ayane picked up the black suitcase full of 30 million taels and walked towards the outside of the tent.

"Wait."

"What else?"

"Ruri Uchiha...... You know, right? ”

Loess asked aloud.

"That troublesome Sharingan woman? Recognize it indeed. ”

"Can you get in touch with her?"

Knowing what Loess's intentions were, Ayane sighed and told him exactly:

"Give it up."

"Give up?"

"yes. She's not like me, and even if I find her, she won't be able to come over. ”

Unlike her, a poor ghost, that hateful Wheel-eyed woman is a super rich lady.

The family can inherit more than 100 billion family assets, and the wealth is rivaled by the country.

There are so many zeros after the number in the bank card that it makes people doubt their lives.

Even if Yan Yin is willing to pay a price of one billion, it is estimated that the woman will not turn her head to take a look.

Ayane walked out of the tent with this depressed mood.

After Ayane left, Loess stood in place and thought about it, and whispered to himself, "It seems that that Uchiha Ruri's personality is terrible." ”

"I think it's just the mutual exclusion of people of the same sex. And, why would you think the two of them are in contact now? ”

Explosive Ninja asked.

Ayane's renegade identity was only released by Konoha in the past few days, and Ruri's renegade identity was only announced in February this year.

It's already August, and the time interval between the two people's traitorous status announcement is as long as half a year.

"Both of them used to be members of the White Fang Squad, and according to some sources, they seem to be on good terms. As for the contact, this should be Konoha's old suspicion, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so in February, he concealed Hinata's renegade identity. At this time, I am afraid that the announcement is also a last resort. ”

Loess guessed.

"Is that so? Speaking of which, it seems that there is another man, who is a medical ninja, and he is also an S-level traitor. What's that man's name? Well, I think about it, it's Chiba...... Shiroki? ”

Escape Ninja Hunter tilted his head and pondered over the name that was becoming marginalized.

"No, I remember the man's name was Chiba Kuroishi. In short, it's not a great guy, as for the identity of the S-level traitor, it may be that he has some major secret of Konoha in his hands, or his medical ninjutsu is very powerful. ”

After all, being born as a medical ninja means that you have nothing to do with being strong.

And there is a real lack of information about this person.

I only know that I was a member of the White Fang Squad, a medical ninja, and I haven't heard of any dazzling performances when I was in the White Fang Squad.

Compared with the two giants of Uchiha and Hinata, it may only be incidental.

Like Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, he has strong combat effectiveness and outstanding medical ninjutsu, which is a very rare exception.

Loess thought as a matter of course.
