Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 947 The root wants to roll his eyes!

Hyuga Hiashi secretly vowed that no matter what the cost, he would reveal the truth to the world and protect the honor and dignity of the Hyuga clan.

Inside the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat upright, a rare solemn look on his face.

After Hinata Hiashi reported the situation in detail, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Hiashi, I believe in your and Hinata's loyalty. This incident is of great importance, we must work together to investigate it thoroughly. I will send the most elite members of the Anbu to assist you, and you must find out the truth behind it."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Hinata Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen say this.

From the current perspective, Sarutobi Hiruzen has no doubts about the Hyuga clan.

However, before Hyuga Hiashi could relax, an ANBU member appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, this is an emergency!"

The appearance of this Anbu made Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression change slightly, because this Anbu was responsible for monitoring and protecting Uzumaki Naruto today.

"What's the emergency? Tell me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but stand up.

"Uzumaki Naruto was taken away by the Hyuga clan, and everyone except me was killed!"

The ANBU said excitedly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank.

As the hurried reports of the Anbu members echoed in the Hokage Building, the entire space seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure and the air became extremely heavy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, his eyes revealing an unprecedented seriousness. He knew very well that this incident not only concerned the innocence of the Hyuga clan, but was more directly related to the safety and stability of Konoha Village.

"Tell me in detail, what were the circumstances under which Naruto was taken away?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a deep voice, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

The Anbu member took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound clearer: "Hokage-sama, the incident happened in the evening. I was secretly protecting Uzumaki Naruto as usual. Suddenly, a group of ninjas dressed in Hyuga family uniforms appeared silently in the area where Naruto lived. They were agile and coordinated well. They subdued their companions who were responsible for the outer guard almost instantly. Naruto has been taken away, and those companions... have..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

He knew very well that the Hyuga clan was famous for their Byakugan and physical skills, but kidnapping a Jinchūriki so blatantly and with such cruel means was beyond his imagination.

"Hiashi, I know your family has always taken protecting Konoha as its responsibility, but this matter is of no small importance. You must give me a reasonable explanation."

He looked at Hinata Hiashi, the pair of eyes that had experienced countless storms but remained firm were now filled with shock and confusion.

Hyuga Hiashi stepped forward quickly, bowed and said, "Hokage-sama, the loyalty of our Hyuga clan to Konoha is known by all, and our clan is absolutely not involved in this matter. I guess that someone may have impersonated our clan and committed this illegal act, intending to frame our clan and stir up disputes within Konoha."

His tone was firm and sincere, and every word revealed his defense of family honor and his loyalty to Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly. Although he had doubts in his heart, he also believed that Hinata Hiashi would not lie.

At this critical moment, unity is Konoha's greatest strength.

Hyuga Hiashi was fully aware of the honor and responsibility of the Hyuga clan, and did not want to be unreasonably accused of having any connection with the disappearance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

He stood up straight with a firm look in his eyes: "Hokage, my Hyuga clan has been protecting Konoha for generations and will never do anything to harm the village. Please allow me to personally investigate this matter and clear the Hyuga clan's name."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, with a little more trust and expectation in his eyes: "Hiruzen, I believe in your loyalty and ability. But this matter is no trivial matter, we must act with caution. At the same time, I will order the Anbu to conduct a comprehensive search to ensure Naruto's safety." Hyuga Hiruzen took the order and left, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He knew very well that this incident was not only a test for the Hyuga clan, but also a major crisis for the entire Konoha Village.

He must find out the truth as soon as possible and clear the Hyuga clan's name, while also ensuring Uzumaki Naruto's safety. After all, the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is directly related to the stability of Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly summoned the elite Anbu members in the village and his advisor Danzo Shimura to discuss countermeasures urgently.

The atmosphere in the Hokage Building was tense and solemn, with worry and determination written all over everyone's face.

"We must assume the worst, that Naruto has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and that the enemy may use the power of the Nine-Tails to attack."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Therefore, we must immediately formulate an emergency plan. On the one hand, we must strengthen the village's defenses to prevent enemy raids; on the other hand, we must search for Naruto's whereabouts and prepare for the possibility that the Nine-Tails may get out of control."

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura frowned. Although he had many political differences with Sarutobi Hiruzen, at this moment concerning the life and death of the village, he also showed the responsibility and decisiveness that a high-ranking official of Konoha should have.

"Hiruzen, what did I say? You are being merciful. Why don't you let me take the ninjas in the village to search the Hyuga clan's territory?"

Danzo smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that this was a great opportunity to weaken Sarutobi Hiruzen's power and even take the opportunity to eliminate the Hyuga clan.

However, he remained calm on the surface, but secretly mobilized the strength of his root organization, ready to intervene at any time.

"No need to say more, Danzo, you will immediately send people to seal off the barrier around the village to prevent the enemy from leaving Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly.

He has already entered into a complete combat state, so naturally he will not continue to argue with his old friend. Now is a very critical moment.

"Everyone else, follow me to the Hyuga clan!"

On the other side, Hyuga Hiashi hurried back to the Hyuga clan, only to find that the elders of the Hyuga clan, who had promised him well before, were now accompanied by a group of branch families of the Hyuga clan, looking aggressive.

"What are you doing? Do you still regard me as the clan leader?"

Hinata Hiashi immediately stood in front of them.

"Rizu!"

The elder of the Hyuga clan looked at Hyuga Hiashi without any panic.

"Do you know what happened?"

Hyuga Hiashi was stunned by the questioning of the Hyuga clan elder. What happened?
"Where is Uzumaki Naruto?"

However, he thought that the matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was more important, so he questioned.

"What Uzumaki Naruto?"

The clan elders were bewildered.

"The village attacked us. The people from the root attacked the people from the main family and took the main family away. They want to give us a cold shoulder!"
