Konoha's Hextech Ninja

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, and he was somewhat unable to judge the situation.

But he also knew that with such a big incident, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and decided that it would be best to discuss such an important matter with several people.

He immediately ordered, "Notify the advisors, assistants, and Nara Shikaku to come to a meeting."

"Furthermore, investigate tonight's events immediately and find out exactly what happened! Have the Anbu investigate the identity of that outsider as soon as possible and give me a report!" Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.

……

Sungai tribe.

Because it was late at night, Hinata Hyuga was taken to rest by her maid early on.

This time, however, the Hyuga clan was on high alert, dispatching numerous guards who took turns using their Byakugan to protect their young lady's safety, fearing another incident of enemies infiltrating and kidnapping her.

In the reception room.

Hiashi Hyuga expressed his deepest gratitude to Yoruichi Yagami and ordered his men to bring her a large number of antiques and treasures.

"Thank you for saving my daughter. These gifts are nothing but a token of my gratitude, but please accept them."

While exchanging pleasantries, Hiashi Hyuga was subtly probing for information about Yoruichi Yagami: "You look unfamiliar, may I ask your name?"

If the Anbu hadn't appeared, it wouldn't have been a problem, but their appearance did make Hiashi Hyuga suspicious of Yoruichi Yagami's identity.

If Yagami Yoruichi is indeed involved with spies from other villages, even if she saves Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi will still have to sever ties with her.

"Senior Hiashi, you want to ask about my identity and background, right?"

Yagami Yoruichi asked with a smile.

"This..." Hinata Hijiri felt embarrassed by Yagami Yoruichi's bluntness and tried to find a plausible excuse to explain, "I just want to know who saved my daughter so that I can prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude in the future."

"These treasures are worth tens of millions of taels of silver. Isn't that a generous gift?" Yagami Yoruichi pointed to the antiques and treasures displayed to the side.

“These worldly things are valuable, but compared to my daughter’s life…” Hyuga Hiashi wanted to explain, but Yagami Yoruichi interrupted him.

"There's nothing wrong with telling me about my identity."

Yagami Yoruichi stretched out his hand, and a small tree grew in his palm.

Upon seeing this, Hiashi Hyuga's eyes widened, forgetting all his manners. Pointing at Yoruichi Yagami's hand, he stammered, "Wood... Wood Release!"

"You may not know me, but you must know my teacher."

Yagami Yoruichi severed the chakra, and the sapling detached from her palm and was placed on the table.

After doing all this, Yagami Yoruichi raised her head, looked at Hyuga Hiashi, and said, "I am Yagami Yoruichi, and my master is... Senju Hashirama!!"

Chapter 228 Asura and Indra

Regarding one's identity and origins.

Yoruichi Yagami thought for a long time, but instead of saying it directly, she made up a false identity as "the successor of Hashirama Senju".

The awakening of Wood Release did not come from bloodline, but was taught by Hashirama Senju.

As for whether others believe it or not, Yagami Yoruichi doesn't care at all.

In fact, Hiashi Hyuga did not believe that Yoruichi Yagami was a disciple of the First Hokage.

More than thirty years have passed since the First Hokage passed away, how could there be such a young disciple?

Wood Release?

Many people know that before Orochimaru defected, he left behind a Wood Release experimental subject, who was previously under Danzo Shimura's command. Later, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the subject and made him a squad leader in the Anbu.

Hiashi Hyuga suspected that Yoruichi Yagami was another experimental subject of Orochimaru, sent by Orochimaru to Konoha as a spy.

What he couldn't understand was how Orochimaru, with his scheming and planning abilities, would plant such an obvious spy.

Is there some conspiracy behind this that he didn't expect?

Lost in his thoughts, Hiashi Hyuga didn't even notice when Yoruichi Yagami left. By the time he came to his senses, it was already dawn.

"Oh no, I also need to report this to the Hokage..."

Hiashi Hyuga slapped his forehead, hurriedly washed up and got ready, and rushed to the Hokage Building.

……

Let's go back to when Yoruichi Yagami had just left the Hyuga clan's territory.

After wandering aimlessly around the village for a while, Uchiha Hikaru finally couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Find someone..." Yagami Yoruichi's senses spread out, sifting through the individual chakra within Konoha.

Finally, Yagami Yoruichi sensed a special chakra and said to Uzumaki Kaori and Uchiha Hikaru, "Found it, come with me."

Konoha Apartment.

Looking at the familiar apartment building in front of him, Yagami Yoruichi felt a pang of nostalgia.

Before becoming Tsunade's apprentice, he lived in a place like this, and had to live independently from the age of three.

Just as I was about to go upstairs.

Suddenly, an undercover agent appeared at the entrance of the apartment building, holding a short knife and ready to strike at any moment, and shouted, "Halt!"

Looking at the familiar chakra of the ANBU member before him, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but smile.

"Kakashi, your strength has declined."

Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile.

"Kakashi-senpai?" Kaori Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at the Anbu member before her, exclaiming in surprise, "Sir, is he Kakashi-senpai? But his chakra..."

Although Kaori Uzumaki has not yet awakened the ability of Kagura's Mind's Eye, she still possesses the most outstanding talent of the Uzumaki clan, and her perception ability is not bad.

At this distance, it is easy to accurately perceive 'chakra characteristics'.

In her perception, the chakra of the person in front of her was indeed similar to that of Kakashi Hatake, but also somewhat different.

"It's probably because of that eye. With a new Sharingan, the chakra naturally changes," Yagami Yoruichi casually remarked. "If you sense it carefully, isn't the Sharingan's chakra the same as Obito Uchiha's?"

"It seems so. Why would Kakashi-senpai have Obito-senpai's Sharingan?" Kaori Uzumaki stared wide-eyed in surprise.

The two did not lower their voices, and Kakashi Hatake heard them all.

Recalling the horrific scene before his comrades' deaths, Kakashi Hatake felt incredibly conflicted, but he still remembered his duty. Holding his short sword, he stood in front of the door and warned, "No matter who you are, do not take another step forward!"

"If you had Uncle Sakumo's strength, you might be qualified to say that, but for now, forget it."

Yagami Yoruichi stretched out his hand, and the pressure of chakra erupted.

The movements weren't particularly fast.

But under the terrifying pressure of chakra, Kakashi Hatake found himself completely unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Yoruichi Yagami's hand pressed against his shoulder.

A tree branch grew out of Yagami Yoichi's palm and bound Hatake Kakashi tightly.

"With your chakra, you can break free before dawn. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards Naruto."

Yagami Yoruichi said something, walked past Hatake Kakashi, went straight upstairs, and opened the window of Uzumaki Naruto's house.

In the messy room, Naruto Uzumaki was fast asleep, his sleeping posture quite unsightly.

“This child…” Kaori Uzumaki wanted to ask something.

"Shh, don't wake him." Yagami Yoruichi made a shushing gesture, placed her finger on Uzumaki Naruto's forehead, and quickly used a wisp of chakra to examine Naruto's body.

Half of the Nine-Tails was firmly sealed within the sealed space inside Naruto Uzumaki's body under two layers of seals.

Within the sealed space, Yagami Yoruichi could also vaguely sense the chakra of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato.

However, the chakra of Ashura that Yagami Yoruichi most wanted to find was nowhere to be found.

"Is it that it hasn't awakened yet? Or is it hiding its true nature too well?"

A question popped into Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

In the original world, Ashura's reincarnation, Hashirama Senju, had already died. As for Indra's reincarnation, Madara Uchiha, although Yoruichi Yagami was not afraid of him, she was too lazy to search for him all over the world.

However, once in this world, Yoruichi Yagami has no intention of letting go of her arch-rivals, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

In Yagami Yoruichi's view, the chakra of Ashura and Indra is also the key to entering the Six Paths level.

Yoruichi Yagami has been stuck at this bottleneck for a long time, and she doesn't want to give up any hope of breaking through.

Unfortunately, even after using Sage Mode, Yagami Yoruichi still couldn't find any trace of the so-called 'Ashura Chakra' in Naruto Uzumaki's body.

Left with no other choice, Yagami Yoru had to give up.

But before leaving, Yagami Yoruichi left a trace of her chakra inside Uzumaki Naruto.

This amount of chakra is not enough to exert any combat power, and it doesn't even contain any consciousness.

Its only function is to let Yoruichi Yagami know immediately when unfamiliar chakra appears in Naruto Uzumaki's body.

"Let's go, next one."

Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand and left with Uzumaki Kaori and Uchiha Hikaru.

After more than ten minutes, a team of ANBU rushed over and saw Kakashi Hatake hanging at the gate by Wood Release. They hurriedly rescued Kakashi and went to check the Nine-Tails seal on Naruto Uzumaki.

……

Half an hour later, at the Uchiha clan's territory.

"You are……"

Fugaku Uchiha stared at Hikaru Uchiha with an expression of disbelief.

The latter used the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique 'Eight Thousand Spears' to subdue all the Uchiha who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

Even Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, who also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, were no exception.

"Alright, Hikaru, don't get so agitated. The Uchiha clan of this era has nothing to do with your enemies."

Yagami Yoruichi came out of the house and said a comforting word to Uchiha Hikaru.

Seeing that Uchiha Hikaru remained unmoved and looked murderous, Yagami Yoruichi reached out and pressed down on Uchiha Hikaru's shoulder, saying sternly, "Have you forgotten what the consequences of disobeying will be?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, his body shifted uncomfortably, and he reluctantly released the control of Yachimoku.
