Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 6 Are you doubting Orochimaru?
"The atmosphere in the village has been strange lately."

"Who says it's not true? Even though the battle with the Hidden Cloud Village has ended, there is no joyful atmosphere in the village at all."

At night, two patrol ninjas were chatting.

Because many ninjas from the Uchiha clan went to the battlefield and the guard team was short of manpower, ninjas like them who had free time were temporarily transferred to the guard team.

"You are the one who retreated from the Kumogakure battlefield, right? I remember the yellow flash was over there."

"That's right, the A and B combination of Kumogakure is really strong. If it weren't for Minato-sama, the Kumogakure battlefield would have collapsed.

But now it's good. The Third Raikage was killed by the Hidden Rock Village. The AB brothers couldn't break through Lord Minato, so they could only choose to lead the troops to retreat. The pressure on the village was much less. "

"Then Lord Minato will support other battlefields next, right? Is the war going to end because of one person?"

"Minato-sama is just that powerful."

The middle-aged ninja who had retreated from the front line showed admiration on his face.

"You really are..."

The other ninja smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he smelled a smell and his expression changed. "Blood?"

The two looked at each other and began to search solemnly.

Finally, the two found the body in the corner of the house.

The corpse lying in a pool of blood had long black hair and the Hyuga clan's emblem on his clothes. The eye sockets that originally held his byakuyan were now empty.

Because of his death, the caged bird automatically destroyed his nerves and white eyes.

"It's Hinata Akihime, he's a Jonin from the Hyuga branch... I'll clean up the scene and you report to the Hokage immediately!" said the middle-aged ninja solemnly.

"it is good!"

……

In the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a complicated expression.

"Hinata Akihime, this is the third time this month, and this time it's a jonin..."

"Someone is using caged birds to hunt down ninjas from the Hyuga branch."

Danzo, who was called by him, said calmly, "Although there is no evidence, the previous two times were all Genin, and the attackers themselves may not be strong."

"He killed a jonin suddenly this time without causing any commotion... Only a bird in a cage can do that."

"According to the investigation, the injuries that Hinata endured were not fatal, right?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his gaze towards him.

"It's you?"

In response, Danzo said calmly: "Killing the Hyuga branch has no meaning to me."

"But killing the Hyuga branch family is meaningless to anyone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "Especially for the one who controls the bird in the cage, it is unnecessary."

The people in Konoha who now control the caged bird include the Hyuga clan, him, Danzo, and members of the caged bird research team.

Is there anyone among these people who needs to continuously attack members of the Hyuga branch family?

Danzo said, "The three people who were attacked were very close to the main family."

Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, "Are you saying that someone is seeking revenge against the main family?"

"Maybe it's more than just revenge."

Danzo took out a document and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it silently, but became furious after just reading the beginning.

"Danzo, you actually let the Hyuga ninja die in my name!"

"It is their duty to be loyal to Konoha." Danzo said indifferently: "The two Hyuga ninjas I secretly sent to the Kirigakure battlefield were killed, not like birds in a cage."

"There was a Konoha ninja who was secretly planning this. He arranged the attack to make it look like Kirigakure had captured the main family ninja. His purpose was to force us to break the caged bird."

"But in fact, Kirigakure did not get the bird in the cage. And the one who is killing the Hyuga branch ninja in Konoha now... is him!"

Danzo looked seriously at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose anger was gradually dissipating:
"He is a member of the branch family, and a very scheming Hyuga branch family. This attack is both revenge against the main family and to put pressure on us."

"From the perspective of outsiders, the only people who would kill these Hyuga clan members with caged birds would be those ninjas who study caged birds. This would arouse public opinion within Konoha and force us to crack the caged birds."

Three months. It has been exactly three months since the arrest of the main family. Danzo had already begun to notice something strange.

"That doesn't prove anything." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said calmly, "Your actions may have been seen through by Kirigakure. They are deliberately creating confusion to lure us to send more Hyuga ninjas, and then use the caged bird to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"My spy in Kirigakure is high-level enough, but he didn't get the caged bird..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were sharp, and he scolded:

"Danzo, don't forget who is in charge of the Kirigakure battlefield!"

If the attack was a conspiracy by the Konoha ninja, Orochimaru would definitely be able to sense something was wrong, because there were only a few people who had the right to know the whereabouts of Hinata Hisanobu.

Therefore, if an insider committed a crime, he would never be able to hide it from him.

If what Danzo said is true, then the first person to suspect is Orochimaru!
Whether it was knowing the truth and not reporting it, or aiding and abetting the evil, Orochimaru did at least one of the above.

Danzo opened his mouth, but for a moment he found it difficult to come up with a rebuttal.

Would Orochimaru help a Hyuga branch?

Impossible, what value could the Hyuga branch have?
Orochimaru has no reason to help the Hyuga branch free the bird from the cage!

But if this is not the case, then who is the enemy attacking the Hyuga ninjas now?

……

"The method is too immature."

Hinata Yu secretly watched Hinata Miyuki attack another Chunin and shook his head.

Although the technique to activate the caged bird was given to her, she was ultimately a girl who had lived as a tool for fourteen years.

She is obsessed with pursuing power, and now only attacks opponents she can handle and absorbs the power of their Byakugan.

As for the jonin...she needed to consider the possibility of dying before she activated the caged bird.

But such behavior will sooner or later allow Konoha to lock onto her.

From a weak Genin, to a Chunin, and finally to a Jonin, even a fool could have guessed that the attacker's strength was gradually increasing.

Even if you kill Hyuga ninjas in order to improve your strength, it will be exposed.

So Hinata Yu killed Hinata Akimi with a caged bird in order to disrupt the direction of the investigation.

"If we define the current behavior as revenge against the Hyuga clan, I'm sure we can relate it to the previous events."

"But the Third Hokage, who was able to show mercy even when Orochimaru defected, won't doubt him."

"The prerequisite for catching me is to catch Orochimaru. It will be a dilemma, right?"

Hinata Yu smiled secretly when he saw that Hinata Miyuki's movements were much more agile than before.

"With just three pairs of Byakugan, her strength quickly increased to the edge of a jonin, much faster than expected."

"If you don't find her soon, the future is going to be interesting."

Besides the method he and Orochimaru discussed, there is another way to evolve the Samsara Eye.

Integrate a large number of white eyes!
This is how to create the giant Samsara Eye.

But what if you simply integrate pupil power?
The answer will soon be born.
