The moment Obito Uchiha disappeared into the cave with Kushina, Shinichi Hyuga, far away in the Hyuga clan, clearly sensed that one of his Flying Thunder God seals had quickly vanished from his perception range.

Shinichi suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where Kushina had disappeared, a solemn expression on his face.

Pushing open the door, Shinichi Hyuga saw Hiashi Hyuga's back.

At this moment, Hiashi was sitting on the veranda, looking up at the slightly reddened moon in the sky. Hearing the noise behind him, Hiashi turned his head slightly.

"What's wrong? I rarely see you looking so anxious."

Hiashi looked at his son, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Something must have happened to my uncle."

Shinichi Hyuga didn't hide anything from Hiashi. From beginning to end, Hiashi was aware of Shinichi's arrangements. Hiashi never questioned anything in detail. He always trusted Shinichi unconditionally. It was precisely because of Hiashi's help that Shinichi was able to gain Hiashi's trust so easily.

"A Jinchūriki, huh..."

"What can we do at this time?"

Upon hearing that something had gone wrong on Hizashi's side, Hyuga Hiashi's expression turned serious.

From a personal perspective, Hyuga Hizashi, who guarded Kushina, was her younger brother. Although the two brothers rarely had any deep conversations due to the relationship between the main family and the branch family, the blood ties between them could not be erased no matter what.

Moreover, Hiashi himself is the kind of traditional patriarch who values ​​family ties far more than others can imagine.

However, he often buried this feeling deep in his heart, and what he showed to outsiders was the cold, businesslike face of the Hyuga clan head.

The tenderness in Hiashi's heart may only truly be revealed after he relinquishes the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Hyuga main family.

From a working perspective, the Hyuga clan's assistance to the Fourth Hokage in protecting the Jinchuriki was also an opportunity for the clan to strengthen its relationship with the Hokage faction and obtain the Scroll of Seals.

The Hyuga family not only cherishes this friendship, but also wants to repay it.

Moreover, as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, Kushina's safety is also related to Konoha Village and the survival of the Hyuga clan.

Moreover, Kushina was Shinichi Hyuga's teacher, who guided him to master the Flying Thunder God Technique. The Hyuga family will always remember this kindness.

If something unexpected happens there, the Hyuga clan cannot just sit idly by.

The interaction between Hiashi and Shinichi didn't seem like an interaction between an adult and a child at all.

The world of ninjas is sometimes very pure. Shinichi Hyuga, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, already has a lot of say in the Hyuga clan. Shinichi, who is regarded by Hiashi as the heir of the main family, has long been treated as an adult.

"Kushina-sensei carries the Flying Thunder God kunai that I gave her."

"It's not just me; the Fourth Hokage should have made similar arrangements on Kushina-sensei as well."

"Although we can't sense the coordinates at this stage, I don't think that person will just leave like this."

"Father, in your name, inform the Third Generation to make preparations as soon as possible."

"Let the ordinary members of the tribe take refuge first."

Shinichi, sensing the impending storm, wanted to do something, but until he could rediscover his lost Flying Thunder God mark, there was really nothing he could do.

All we can do is let our clansmen take refuge first, and let the third generation leader make some preparations.

He didn't know exactly what had happened to Kushina, but with the disappearance of the Flying Thunder God mark, Shinichi was certain that something had occurred.

He had no intention of using the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to Hizashi's place to inquire about the specific situation. Going there would be pointless. On the contrary, he could only use his power within the Hyuga clan!

"Kazutaka!"

Upon hearing this, Riji shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the Hyuga clan appeared in the courtyard, knelt on one knee before Hiashi and Shinichi, and replied, "Yes! What are your orders, Lord Hiashi?"

"You heard what Shinichi said, right? Go and report to the Third Hokage that there's a problem with the Jinchuriki. Tell him and the Anbu to be on alert."

As he spoke, Japan continued shouting:

"Mio!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a female ninja from the Hyuga clan flashed out and bent down in front of him.

"Just in case, let the people of the tribe gather together first, so that they can take refuge immediately if any accident occurs."

"We need to prepare for the worst."

Hyuga Mio nodded, and then vanished from the courtyard in an instant.

"Hinata Keisuke."

As Hiashi shouted, another Hyuga clansman with a powerful aura appeared in the courtyard.

"Summon the elite Hyuga clan members, all of whom are special Jonin or above, and have them wait in the front courtyard of the ancestral hall. I will be there shortly."

At this point, Hiashi suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to Shinichi, and asked:

"How many ninjas can your Flying Thunder God Technique teleport at once!?"

Shinichi had only recently mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and even Ashi wasn't entirely clear about his son's background.

"A thousand or eight hundred people shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi quickly assessed the situation and replied, "Although it's not as spatially expansive as the Golden Body Minato's ability to jump to the heights of ten thousand people."

However, with his current capabilities, relocating several thousand or even several hundred people would not be a problem.

"Um!"

"Keisuke, get to work!"

"Since we Hyuga accepted the mission to protect the Fourth Hokage and have already received benefits from it..."

"Then failure is absolutely not an option!"

Riji's eyes sharpened, and he hissed.

Listening to Hiashi's arrangements, Shinichi couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion as he watched Hiashi's retreating figure. Although everything Hiashi did was for the Hyuga clan, wasn't it also for his son?

The fact that Nishi was willing to go to such lengths based solely on his unverifiable intelligence speaks volumes about his trust in Shinichi.

"Thank you, Father," Shinichi whispered his thanks.

Standing in front of the corridor, Hiashi smiled and shook his head, saying:

"All of this is for Hinata!"

...

On a large lake outside Konoha Village.

Obito's figure appeared from the void, and then Kushina's figure was also released by Obito and thrown onto a reef on the lake.

A black cursed seal bound Kushina's body, and under Obito's control, Kushina was suspended in mid-air.

Kushina was already weak after giving birth, and because of the Nine-Tails' frantic struggle, she couldn't concentrate on anything else. She could only focus on reinforcing the seal within her body. However, without Minato's help, Kushina alone could not completely suppress the Nine-Tails' power.

What's more, Obito was watching closely from the sidelines.

"Come out..."

"Nine-Tails!!!"

Obito Uchiha approached Kushina and formed a hand seal with one hand.

The alien chakra invaded the seal, and in just a moment, Kushina's body was enveloped by the chakra released from the Nine-Tails.

The seal was broken, and the intense pain caused Kushina to let out a low growl of agony.

Terrifying chakra surged from Kushina's seal and coalesced on the lake's surface. In just a moment, the Nine-Tails' enormous body appeared in the center of the lake.

"roar--"

The Nine-Tails' roar transformed into terrifying sound waves that spread outwards. Obito Uchiha looked at the berserk Nine-Tails, a gleeful smile appearing on his face beneath his mask.

"finally..."

"We finally succeeded!!!"

When Obito looked up, his gaze met Kurama's. The three-tomoe Sharingan under Obito's mask also transformed into a windmill shape at this moment.

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan instantly controlled Kurama. Kurama, which had just been freed, didn't even have time to run wild before the Sharingan's image was reflected in its eyes.

"Go to hell!"

With a fierce glint of hatred in his eyes, Obito manipulated the Nine-Tails' claws and slammed them down fiercely towards Kushina in the center of the lake.

At that moment, a white figure flashed past the rocks in the lake, and in the next instant, the figure and Kushina disappeared into the center of the lake.

"Minato Namikaze, huh..."

Obito murmured to himself, not feeling any regret, and quickly disappeared from the spot using Hollowfication.

...

In Konoha Village, in front of the Hyuga clan's ancestral hall.

Just as Shinichi sensed his Flying Thunder God Kunai appear outside Konoha Village and was about to teleport using his chakra to connect with the Hyuga clan's elites, he suddenly sensed that the Flying Thunder God Kunai's location had changed.

After a moment's hesitation, Shinichi stopped hesitating and launched the Flying Thunder God Technique towards Kushina.
