"I need to serve Lord Jin. If I can just hold out, I'll clear my name. But you'll be treated as rogue ninjas and hunted down by Konoha."
The group shook their heads.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Someone whispered something.
Those they fought so hard to protect have all had their eyes gouged out and their bodies destroyed by the Hyuga main family.
It's better not to stay in this village.
It's late at night, and there's not a soul in sight on the streets of Konoha.
Even so, the six of them didn't dare to relax too much.
If they are discovered by the people of Konoha, they will be captured and returned to Konoha.
After all, as a powerful and wealthy clan in Konoha, the Hyuga clan still enjoys certain privileges within the village.
They walked until they reached the barrier that Konoha had sealed off.
Uchiha Kin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the wall in front of him.
The wall doesn't really block anything, but anyone entering or leaving will be spotted by the village, which helps prevent a lot of external dangers.
Infiltrating without making a sound requires special methods, methods that are usually only available in major ninja villages.
Moreover, it can only be used once, after which Konoha will improve it, rendering the method ineffective.
Konoha has been infiltrated many times, and the seals have become increasingly sophisticated.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Jin turned around and saw Hyuga Kiyoshi leading five people toward him.
"coming."
With a fake smile on his face, Jin looked at the five members of the Hyuga clan. Hyuga Kiyoshi stood behind Jin without any hesitation.
The five people knelt on the ground at the same time and respectfully addressed Jin.
"Greetings, Lord Jin."
"I'm only doing this because of Qing's request. Get up."
Jin waved his hand and gave a word of advice.
"Just remember to bring your things."
Losing so many Byakugan would drive the Hyuga clan crazy; keeping them around would make it easy for them to discover.
It would be better to have them return to the Land of Rain.
This can be considered their pledge of allegiance.
Darkness appeared before Jin.
"Stepping into this place marks the beginning of your new life."
Jin pointed to the darkness that had transformed into an oval shape.
The five of them took a deep breath, still extremely apprehensive about their new lives, but they had no other choice.
Walk straight into the darkness.
When the five people disappeared, the darkness also vanished.
"It's up to you now, Qing."
Jin looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi.
"Don't be afraid, I'm standing behind you, no one can do anything to you."
"Yes, Lord Jin."
Chapter 228 Torture
The sun rises below the horizon.
The morning sunlight streamed in through the window.
Hinata Kiyoshi opened his eyes in bed, glanced at the empty bed, and began to wash up as if nothing had happened.
Once you're all tidied up, put on some clean clothes.
"Boom boom boom!"
Then a knocking sound came from the door.
Hyuga Kiyoshi walked over, stepped forward, and opened the door. Standing outside were three Hyuga clan ninjas wearing Konoha ninja vests.
The leader of the Hyuga members looked behind Hyuga Kiyoshi, searching for something.
But I saw nothing.
The leader spoke up to question them.
What about the other people you live with?
Hinata Kiyoshi shook his head, already prepared: "He was here last night, but I don't know where he went this morning."
The leader stared intently at Hyuga Kiyoshi, trying to discern something from him, but Hyuga Kiyoshi remained expressionless, even appearing calm, as if he didn't care about anything.
The leader waved his hand.
"Take it!"
The two Hyuga clansmen beside him moved, instantly appearing next to Hyuga Kiyoshi. One of them pressed down on the back of his head and slammed it into the ground with a loud "thud!" Hyuga Kiyoshi's face was heavily pressed to the ground.
Another Hyuga member twisted Hyuga Kiyoshi's hands behind his back and tied them with a rope.
The leader looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi, who had been instantly suppressed, and said in a deep voice, "Hyuga Kiyoshi, you had better tell us everything you know, otherwise even the head of the R&D department can't protect you!"
Hinata Kiyoshi's expression remained unchanged; he simply asked, "So, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
The leader frowned, looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi who seemed oblivious, sighed, and still reminded him, "The five of them assassinated the elders of the main family, stole the Hyuga clan's treasures, and escaped?"
Hinata Kiyoshi's face appropriately showed a look of doubt.
"Didn't they split up the family? Why did they rebel against the clan elders and seize something?"
This caused the leader to hesitate, which was also what puzzled them: how could a branch family resist the elders of the main family?
Moreover, even though he held a relatively high position within the family, he was unaware of any treasures within the family that would warrant such a risk from a member of the branch family.
Those who can become elders are not easily assassinated.
No, this isn't the time to think about these things.
The leader's expression changed.
"Hyuga Kiyoshi, we now suspect you of secretly plotting with others to murder the main family elders and steal Hyuga family treasures. We are taking you in for questioning."
Hinata Kiyoshi buried his face in the ground.
The Hyuga main family ultimately dared not tell the truth, and their reasons were somewhat untenable, but they acted quite quickly.
The front hall of the Hyuga family residence.
Hyuga Yuka looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi, who was bound hand and foot, kneeling in the middle in front of him, with all the other members of the Hyuga family kneeling around him.
They await their trial of Hinata Kiyoshi.
Hyuga Yuka looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi, who remained calm, offering neither fierce resistance nor uttering any questions.
The matter was discovered before dawn.
Every day at that time, an elder from the Zong family would come to relieve them.
The shift change was supposed to be the same as usual, but when they arrived at the basement, all that was left were corpses and a dilapidated basement; all the white eyes had disappeared.
This threw the entire Hyuga main family into a panic, prompting them to quickly investigate and lock onto the target.
They stormed into Hinata Kiyoshi's dormitory.
In the end, only Hyuga Kiyoshi remained; the other five had all vanished without a trace.
Although Hyuga Kiyoshi remained calm throughout, this calmness made him suspicious of him.
But why did he stay?
Konoha has cooperated with them to start searching for the five people, but they couldn't find them even after searching the entire village this morning.
The entire main family is now furious. The loss of the Byakugan has enraged them, but the death of Hyuga Souga has terrified them.
They control the division of the family because the caged bird can act at any time.
They were not afraid of the Hyuga branch family's resistance at all.
But this ironclad rule has been broken.
Hyuga Yukata's gaze gradually darkened. Among these people, the one most suspicious was Hyuga Kiyoshi.
If there's anyone in the entire ninja world capable of fighting against the Caged Bird Seal, it's probably only Uchiha Kin.
"You still won't confess?" Hyuga Yukata angrily rebuked, "Hyuga Kiyoshi."
Hinata Seijin's calm, still eyes, like a stagnant pool, gazed at Hinata Yukata.
"My lord, what crime do I wish to confess?"
"You plotted to murder Elder Hyuga and steal the Hyuga clan's secret treasure. Your accomplices have already betrayed you!"
Hinata Yukata said in a deep voice.
At this time.
Hyuga Hizashi suddenly ran out and knelt down directly in front of Hyuga Kiyoshi, facing Hyuga Yukata.
"Father! This might be a misunderstanding! Qing wouldn't do such a thing!!"
This gesture made Hinata Yuka frown.
“Richie, we have conclusive evidence; you don’t need to defend him.”
Although Hyuga Yukata couldn't stand Hyuga Hizashi's behavior, with so many people around, and as the head of the branch family, he couldn't reprimand him too harshly.
"Qing! Quickly tell me who those people are, and you'll be fine once the misunderstanding is cleared up."
