Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Chapter 230 The Second Cycle in Hidden Cloud Village. Once Again, I See Your Shadow and You Regret.

Fugaku Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake left first to report their observations of the day to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiashi Hyuga, however, stayed behind.

After the two left, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

As he spoke, Hiashi Hyuga began to talk about the troubles the Hyuga clan was currently facing.

It's nothing more than Yunren wanting to scheme against Baiyan.

Although it was Yagami Yoruichi who killed him, the Cloud Ninja envoy desperately tried to shift the blame onto the Hyuga clan and force Hyuga Hiashi to commit suicide as an apology.

That's impossible, of course.

The Hyuga clan is extremely strict about protecting the Byakugan.

Especially a few years ago, after the Hidden Mist Ninja stole one of the main family's Byakugan, they established a rule that "the main family members are not allowed to go to the battlefield."

The Hyuga clan is currently discussing which branch family member should take the blame if they are forced to hand over the so-called 'culprit'.

However, this discussion also made the atmosphere within the Hyuga clan tense.

Every member of the branch family who knew about this harbored resentment.

The Hyuga clan dared not imagine what the internal divisions would look like if they really handed over a member of a branch family to take the blame.

Even a caged bird cannot hold back a person's heart.

"Just this little thing?"

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Hyuga Hiashi and said, "Since I caused this trouble, I'll take care of it."

If it were just a problem with the Hyuga clan, Yagami Yoruichi wouldn't bother with it.

But Hinata Hyuga, this adorable little girl, is someone that Yoruichi Yagami really likes.

If something were to happen to the Hyuga clan and Hinata were to be affected, that would be something Yoruichi Yagami would not want to see.

Since we've already saved someone, we might as well go all the way and completely resolve this problem.

"Wait here for me a moment."

Yagami Yoruichi gave an order and then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, disappearing from sight.

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi suddenly disappear, Hyuga Hiashi was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

A simple teleportation technique couldn't possibly be fast enough to be undetectable even by his Byakugan.

The only explanation is...

"Space-time ninjutsu?!"

Hiashi Hyuga stared wide-eyed, his pure white pupils filled with shock.

……

the other side.

Yagami Yoruichi has been teleported to the Land of Lightning, outside the Hidden Cloud Village.

When she first arrived in this world, Yagami Yoruichi sent her clones to leave Flying Thunder God marks all over the ninja world.

With Yagami Yoruichi's chakra reserves, she could easily teleport anywhere in the entire ninja world.

"They're going to wipe out the Cloud Village again."

Yagami Yoruichi had a strange feeling in her heart.

Not long before she transmigrated here, Yagami Yoruichi had just destroyed the Hidden Cloud Village.

Unexpectedly, the first major action I had to take after arriving in this world was to destroy the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, Yoruichi Yagami showed no mercy whatsoever.

After swallowing a handful of soldier pills and slightly restoring some chakra, he immediately had his clone use the 'Four Red Yang Formation' to seal off Kumogakure.

Then, a cataclysmic disaster broke out in the Hidden Cloud Village.

The battle lasted for less than an hour before it ended.

Although Killer Bee was already a perfect Jinchūriki at this point, able to perfectly utilize the power of the Eight-Tails.

However, he is still young and has not reached his peak. His strength has only barely crossed the threshold of the Super Shadow level, and he is still far from his peak.

Yoruichi Yagami, on the other hand, had already mastered the perfect Sage Mode.

With the aid of Sage Mode, he easily defeated the Eight-Tails and wiped out all the important figures in Kumogakure.

The Fourth Raikage, advisor Tsuchida, and two Jinchūriki were all captured by Yagami Yoruichi.

As for the other ordinary ninjas, even if Yagami Yoruichi didn't bother to target them specifically, the vast majority of them ended up as gold coins and attributes on Yagami Yoruichi's stats panel.

After recovering her chakra, Yagami Yoruichi, along with several prisoners, teleported back to Konoha.

Seeing the Fourth Raikage bound by Wood Release and his chakra completely sealed, Hiashi Hyuga's eyes widened: "This...this..."

He didn't know anyone else.

But the Fourth Raikage's face had long been known throughout Konoha, and all the Jonin had seen his portrait.

Those who were captured and brought back along with the Fourth Raikage must have extraordinary identities.

How long has it been?

Yagami Yoruichi crossed almost half of the ninja world, traveling thousands of miles to reach Kumogakure, capturing one of their village's high-ranking officials, and then rushed back.

To confirm, Hiashi Hyuga disregarded etiquette and activated his Byakugan.

When Hiashi Hyuga saw the terrifying chakra sealed within Yugito and Killer Bee, his shock reached a new level.

"The Fourth Raikage, and two Jinchūriki..."

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but begin to wonder if he was under some kind of illusion.

Someone of this caliber was captured so easily by Yoruichi Yagami?

Even from Yoruichi Yagami's clothing, there was absolutely no indication that she had just gone through an intense battle.

"The Cloud Ninja will no longer be a problem." Yagami Yoruichi looked at Hyuga Hiashi with a half-smile and said, "Now the Hyuga clan leader doesn't need to worry, right?"

Hiashi Hyuga tried several times to confirm that he had not been under a genjutsu and that everything was real.

"Your Mightiness……"

Hiashi Hyuga was speechless, unsure of what to say.

thank?

Or should we accuse Yagami Yoruichi of starting a new round of war without cause?

It seems a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

Faced with Yagami Yoruichi's terrifying strength, uttering even the slightest wrong word could trigger consequences that the Hyuga clan could not bear.

After stammering for a while, Hyuga Hiashi bowed deeply and solemnly said in a dogeza posture, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency! Whatever your orders, the Hyuga clan will do our utmost!"

Faced with Yoruichi Yagami's terrifying strength, all politics and scheming are superfluous.

The only thing we can do is to quickly find a powerful ally before Yoruichi Yagami's strength is revealed.

If they can destroy the Cloud Ninja, they can destroy the Leaf Village.

In addition, Yagami Yoruichi possesses Wood Release, and one of her subordinates is confirmed to have the Mangekyou Sharingan, while another is suspected to be a follower of the Uzumaki clan.

In a sense, pledging allegiance to Yagami Yoruichi doesn't count as betraying Konoha.

Within a few short minutes, Hiashi Hyuga made what he considered the most 'rational' decision.

"I am not doing this out of loyalty to your Hyuga clan."

Yoruichi Yagami shook her head and said, "Hinata is very cute, and I didn't want her to be hurt by the Cloud Ninja, so I took action."

Hinata?

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly turned his head to look at the daughter of Yagami Yoruichi, who was hiding half of her body behind him but 'secretly' peeking out half of her head.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Hiashi Hyuga's mind, and he tentatively asked, "Sir, why don't you let my daughter become your disciple?"

"Become an apprentice?" Yagami Yoruichi was taken aback and looked at Hinata Hyuga.

Even if it's a child, isn't it a bit too early for a child to become an apprentice at the age of three?

"If I remember correctly, Hinata is only three years old now, right?" Yagami Yoruichi frowned and said, "Even for a bloodline member with good bloodline, starting to train at the age of three is far too early."

The Uchiha clan has already produced a negative example.

Yoruichi Yagami doesn't know at what age Itachi Uchiha started training.

However, at the age of four or five, he was taken to the battlefield by Fugaku Uchiha and witnessed the most cruel side of the ninja world, which made him one of the most mentally ill people in the ninja world.

While training doesn't necessarily involve exposure to bloodshed and darkness, starting ninja training too early will ultimately deprive someone of a happy childhood.

Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but say, "Three or four years old is the age to play happily. Why train so early? It's not too late to start when you're about to go to the Ninja Academy."

"This……"

Hiashi Hyuga wanted to say that starting training around the age of three is a tradition of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hyuga must also abide by this tradition if she is to inherit the main family in the future.

But under Yagami Yoruichi's terrifying 'aura', Hyuga Hiashi couldn't bring himself to refuse.

But before he could finish speaking, he unconsciously changed his words, saying, "Since it's your request, then let Hinata begin her training a few years later. When do you think would be appropriate?"

"Let's talk about it in a few years." Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the shy Hinata Hyuga and didn't take up the topic of 'becoming an apprentice'.

After exchanging a few polite words, he had Hiashi Hyuga take Hinata Hyuga away.

……

After leaving, Hiashi Hyuga realized that he was covered in a cold sweat, and the back of his clothes was soaked through.

Although Yagami Yoruichi did not deliberately release any 'aura'.

However, the fact that he so casually captured the Fourth Raikage and two Jinchuriki still put Hiashi Hyuga under immense psychological pressure.
