Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 163 Yagura: Huh? The Kaguya clan ran away?

"What?"

Kaguya Raizo leaned closer to take a look.

All that could be seen was the word "enemy" written on the piece of bark in Hizashi's hand.

Warning?!

He immediately became alert, but then his expression turned slightly strange.

The tree bark appeared right in front of me before I even left, and judging from its freshness, it must have just been peeled off.

Furthermore, the other party can see the situation around their own territory.

Space-time ninjutsu?

This is the most difficult ninjutsu to master.

In the ninja world, very few people can master such space-time ninjutsu, and their clan was completely unaware that the opponent was lurking all around them.

Hijiri quickly explained, "Chief Raizo, my companion meant no harm."

"I know."

Kaguya Raizo came to her senses.

He gave Hizashi a long look.

It's certain that the person lurking in the shadows is a master!

Minato Namikaze?

Or is it a young prodigy who has risen to fame in recent years?

Kaguya Raizo couldn't have guessed.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go kill those worms first, then I'll think about the rest."

"I'll go with you. Byakugan can help you find their hiding place, and besides..."

The Japanese are about to take action.

He paused slightly, then said, "Maybe it's not necessary."

Why?

Kaguya Raizo paused for a second, then realized what was going on. "Your friend... took care of the enemy?"

I think so.

Hyuga Hizashi nodded.

Under the Byakugan's gaze, individual chakra entities vanished one by one, while the one that moved moved with incredible speed, like a ghost.

The ultimate teleportation, combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, is truly unpredictable and bizarre.

Even the Hyuga clan...

Even with the ability to observe remotely, one sometimes can't keep up with the other person's pace.

not to mention.

Even if the eyes can see it, the body's reaction may not be able to keep up.

Kaguya Raizo was even more astonished: "All resolved?"

"It should be. At least everyone I can see is dead. There might be some outside the area that he has already gone to hunt down."

Hinata Hizashi said.

Kaguya Raizo remained silent for a long time.

Those people must be the assassination squad of Kirigakure. Each one of them is an elite among Kirigakure ninjas, and their strength is extraordinary.

Even the elite of the Kaguya clan, who are all warlike and brave, dare not claim to possess such abilities.

After all, it only took a short while from when the other side sent the warning message to when the Hizashi said that they had killed them all.

Such a person could never be unknown.

"Minato Namikaze or Kyohiko Yoshimine?"

The only people he could think of were these two from Konoha; apart from them, there shouldn't be anyone else with such abilities.

"I don't know either. He only took me to the Land of Water, and I only found out he was here later."

Daily difference answer.

Raizo paused for a moment, then said, "Can I see him? After all, some of my clansmen are going to live in Konoha."

After hearing this, Risha felt that the request was not excessive at all, and was very reasonable.

Given the traditions and personalities of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Raizo's attitude so far has been quite amiable and considerate.

"Of course... but at the moment, I don't have the ability to contact him."

I'm having a bit of a headache.

He has Kyohiko's Flying Thunder God technique, so the other party can use Flying Thunder God to contact him, but he has no way to contact them in the opposite direction.

"this."

Kaguya Raizo fell silent.

Hizashi chuckled dryly and said, "In that case, I'll go out and take a look. Maybe I can find it. Besides, Kyohiko-kun's senses are very strong. He'll definitely be able to sense my situation and should come over then."

"That's the only way."

Kaguya Raizo nodded.

Then, he said sincerely, "Rizashi, I have always been straightforward and don't mince words, but this matter concerns the future of my people."

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Thank you!

……

Inside the forest, Kyohiko and his wooden clones returned from all directions.

"Have the bodies been disposed of?"

"There won't be any problems."

The wooden clones nodded gently.

After retracting his clone, Kyohiko understood the general situation. They had deliberately used Wood Release to mimic the effect of the Corpse Bone Pulse, and most of the traces of the corpse had been cleaned up.

He soon realized—

Behind him, Hyuga Hizashi emerged from the Kaguya clan's territory and headed towards him.

Rolling your eyes really works.

But why did Hyuga Hizashi want to see me?

Has the Kaguya clan reached an agreement?

After a moment of contemplation, Kyohiko extracted his chakra and used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.

In the woods.

As Hizashi was tracking Kyohiko's location, Kyohiko vanished from his sight in the next moment.

Immediately...

"Looking for me?"

!!!

Hyuga Hizashi shuddered; even though he was mentally prepared, he was still startled.

A few seconds later, he came to his senses.

"Kyohiko, weren't you waiting in the Land of Fire? Why did you come along?"

"The situation in the Land of Water has changed beyond my expectations. I'm a little worried, and if we succeed, it won't be easy for you to bring it back alone."

Jing Yan said.

The man was deeply moved and thanked him profusely before explaining his purpose for coming.

The head of the Kaguya family wants to see me?

Jingyan was somewhat surprised.

Then, he glanced at the sirens and his lips twitched slightly.

"Hizashi-senpai, even the head of the Kaguya clan could see through your disguise?"

"Ahem, he has met the head of the family many times and has a certain understanding of him, so... well, I really didn't act well."

Hijiri smiled helplessly.

He underestimated Kaguya Raizo.

He had thought that the Kaguya clan was straightforward and would be rather careless, but he hadn't expected that Kaguya Raizo was actually quite perceptive and had seen through him.

He then explained the situation.

After listening, Jingyan seemed to understand, then smiled and said, "I understand."

"Um?"

"You and Hiashi-senpai have different personalities. Although you try your best to imitate him, you will still show a slight difference. Raizo had several contacts with Hiashi-senpai, and it was not difficult for him to notice the abnormality based on his intuition."

"That's right."

The daily grind is unavoidable.

and so.

He felt that this was not his fault, and as the head of the branch family, he had no other choice but to visit the Land of Water in place of Hiashi.

Given the current situation, the child's life may be better in the future.

If it weren't for the sake of future generations, why would they work so hard?

The daily change is silent.

Sensing the change in emotion, Jingyan changed the subject: "Senior, you go back first. I'll fly over there with Thunder God after you get to the place we were at before."

"Alright."

……

The territory of the Kaguya clan.

When Kaguya Raizo saw that Hyuga Hizashi had returned alone, he assumed that Kyohiko was refusing to see him, and his face showed an unconcealed look of disappointment.

but.

Before long, he sensed a fluctuation of chakra.

Space-time ninjutsu!

In the blink of an eye, the other party appeared before them.

Wearing a mask and dressed in ANBU uniform, he was clearly from Konoha's ANBU.

but.

If the other person did not use a transformation technique, judging from their physique, they should not be very old, at most twelve or thirteen years old.

A young genius!

Kaguya Raizo dared not be negligent.

In the ninja world, strength speaks volumes, especially in the Kaguya clan, who believe that strength reigns supreme.

The young man before him was too strong, and moreover, he was concerned about his clan; he deserved his respect.

"Senior Raizo."

Despite the other party's courtesy, Kyohiko remained humble and equally polite.

but.

The two sides still have different attitudes—

Raizo had to beg Konoha and Kyohiko, so his posture was naturally more humble.

"Kyohiko-kun, I've already discussed the matter of the clansmen with Hizashi, but I don't know what Konoha's attitude is. Also..."

He hesitated for a moment.

Raizo didn't know much about Yoshimine Kyohiko; he only knew that he was a person and had a general idea of ​​his strength.

As for whether he's smart or not, what position he holds...

He had absolutely no idea.

"You can trust Jingyan's wisdom; he makes the decisions on many things."

Hijiri leaned close to his ear and whispered.

Jingyan naturally heard it, but it's still a bit... nice to be praised for being "smart".

He chose to pretend he didn't hear it.

Upon hearing this, Raizo's eyes widened, his inner astonishment needless to say.

He originally thought that Kyohiko was at most just powerful, but judging from Hyuga Hizashi's words, it seemed that Kyohiko had also participated in many important decision-making processes.

This……

A teenager actually has such abilities!

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Raizo's face. As the head of the Kaguya clan, to lower his head and beg for a child...

Before this, he would absolutely not have agreed.

but.

The other party is too fierce; we can't treat them like ordinary children. Besides, it's just him and Hyuga Hizashi here; no one else knows that Kyohiko has arrived.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, Kyohiko chose to use the Flying Thunder God technique; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to make up his mind right now.

"Kyohiko-kun, do you have any advice for our clan?"

Kaguya Raizo said in a low voice.

Then, he reiterated his idea—

"The Kaguya clan has lived in the Land of Water for hundreds of years and has no intention of moving away. Moreover, most of our clan members would not want to leave."

"Then the bone will be gone."

The Kaguya clan established themselves through war and spread their power throughout the world.

He's really decided to send the whole clan to Konoha...

Even if Konoha were willing and dared to take them in, most of the clansmen would not agree.

"What do you plan to do without me and Hizashi-senpai?"

Jingyan asked.

Kaguya Raizo chuckled: "Of course we'll attack! So what if it's Kirigakure?"

Hyuga Hizashi was speechless.

Raizo's idea did indeed align with the traditional mindset of the Kaguya clan.

What is this Hidden Mist Village, Water Shadow?

Let's fight first and talk later!

This shows that they are not brainless, but they prefer to solve problems through fighting.

Hizashi looked at Kyohiko—

He had no other choice.

Jingyan's brain was also working.

He wasn't surprised at all by Kaguya Raizo's choice, since in the original timeline they had simply rushed through it.

Then, he never returned. Kimimaro was the only member of the Shikotsu lineage left in the family, and the rest were never heard of again.

How can it be a tragic word!

however.

These stubborn fools are beyond saving.

Rather than...

Let's try a different approach.

Kyohiko's eyes darted around, and he said, "Clan Chief Raizo, you and the Yuki clan have all become Guardian Ninjas now, right?"

"Yes, those daimyo and nobles have been coming over lately talking about some kind of guardian ninja. I don't understand this, I just know that such a thing exists."

Raizo nodded.

Kyohiko explained, "The Guardian Ninja are actually responsible for protecting the safety of the Daimyo and the nobility. So, what you need to do now is to go to Kyoto with the Yuki Clan."

"To Kyoto?"

Raizo was deep in thought.

Two seconds later, he looked up: "Isn't this running away?"

"This is not called running away."

Jingyan immediately explained, "This is called fulfilling one's duty. Otherwise, what would the daimyo and nobles do with the money they give you?!"

Lei Zang scratched his head.

He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

I have a feeling...

The other party was taking advantage of his unwillingness to use his brain and trying to fool him, but it seemed to make some sense.

Hizashi nodded repeatedly: "No need to overthink it. Go to Kyoto, get the money to arm yourself, and you'll be better equipped for battle, right? Besides, Kirigakure is attacking you—are they planning to attack you?"

"Isn't that right?"

Kaguya Raizo didn't see anything wrong with it.

Kirigakure is the village we want to defeat!

Hizashi said, "This is an attack on the daimyo! The daimyo just said he wanted to appoint you as guardian ninjas, and they're already furiously monitoring you and trying to take action against you. Isn't that hostile towards the daimyo?"

"..."

Kaguya Raizo was straightforward, but not extremely foolish.

After the Japanese messenger spoke to him to this extent, how could he not understand?

This is to send him to Kyoto so that the daimyo can protect them.

This……

To be honest, he wasn't really happy about it.

but.

Jingyan added a sentence.

"I've been to the Snow Clan, and I issued the same warning, but they don't have many people."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Raizo was not afraid of battle or death, but he did not want his clansmen to die.

At least--

He needs to find a way out for some of his clansmen. After that, if Kirigakure comes again, he'll fight them to the death!

A fierce glint flashed in Raizo's eyes.

……

In Kirigakure, Yagura leaned back in his chair, casually taking out documents to review.

Just then, an ANBU ninja appeared in an instant.

"Lord Mizukage!"

"explain."

Yagura didn't look up; he steadily wrote the words.

The other person said, "The Kaguya clan has run away!"

"what?"

Yagura looked up, his innocent, childlike face showing confusion and shock...

It was as if they hadn't heard clearly.

Say it again.

"I went to the Yuki clan to set up surveillance, and when I came back, all my subordinates had been killed. The Kaguya clan relocated as a whole, making a huge commotion."

"That's what the dark forces captain said."

A moment of silence fell.

Yagura stared at him, his gaze unwavering: "How could the Kaguya clan possibly run away? How could they possibly run away!"

This is the Kaguya clan.

Even if the ANBU ninjas are discovered or detected...

The Kaguya clan will most likely also turn against Kirigakure and attack them. At that time, he can gain the moral high ground and have something to say to the daimyo.

He had it all planned out.

result.

What seemed like a sure thing turned out to be unexpected.

The Kaguya clan has run away!

In the past, there were only Kaguya clan members who died in battle, not Kaguya clan members who were cowardly in the face of battle.

Therefore, despite the Kaguya clan's incredibly powerful bloodline limit, they died one by one on the battlefield, leaving only a few dozen members today.

This is why Kirigakure doesn't place much importance on the Kaguya clan.

That's too stubborn!

If they had simply followed orders, the Kaguya clan's status in Kirigakure would be much higher than it is now.

result.

Having sought refuge with the powerful, have these people learned to use their brains?

Yagura's composure faltered slightly, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. After a long pause, he finally looked at the Dark Guard captain and asked, "Where are they?"

"I heard they've joined up with the Yuki clan and sent people to Kyoto. They're already there now, and there might be someone to meet them."

? ?

Yagura tilted his head and looked at the Dark Division Captain.

Is this something the Yuki clan or the Kaguya clan would do?

His expression was cold: "This isn't their style. Someone must be pulling strings behind the scenes."

"That……"

"Konoha, it must be Konoha!"

Yagura stood up, his tone resolute, but his face showed a hint of excitement.

He looked at the captain of the Anbu: "Find out who is in charge of the Konoha Anbu now. It feels a bit like Orochimaru's style, but not quite the same."

"yes!"

The commander of the secret service vanished instantly.

Yagura's lips curled up slightly.

"It must be that child, right? Konoha seems to have produced an interesting person."
