This result was not unexpected by Uchiha Owl, but it is always best to decide some things in advance.

"Okay, but from now on, Hinata Hyuga will be in charge of the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Owl's first words caused a stir among a small group of Hyuga clan members, some of whom couldn't help but raise their heads and glare angrily.

"Whatever decision she makes, I will support her, not you."

"Including but not limited to abolishing the caged bird policy and executing traitors within the clan, you should understand what I mean."

Faced with these harsh, even somewhat insulting, conditions, the former Hyuga elders, who had become accustomed to lording it over others, immediately spoke up in rebuttal.

"The change of clan leader is a major event for our Hyuga clan; how can it be treated so lightly!"

"My lord, the Hyuga clan is a great clan of Konoha. How can you utter such contemptuous words!"

"The Hyuga clan has a history spanning a thousand years; please show them respect, sir!"

Even though they were all flushed and indignant, no one dared to utter any threats.

No one could say anything like the Hyuga clan's unyielding spirit or the inviolability of their dignity.

Throughout the entire piece, not a single decent harsh word appeared.

As for the many branch family members who were excited, they probably didn't make much of a move due to the accumulated prestige of the main family.

But faint bursts of loud noise could also be heard.

Uchiha Owl simply watched them quietly until their voices grew softer and softer, their faces either turning embarrassed or flushed, and they dared not speak any further.

"I'm not discussing this with you. Now, anyone with objections, step forward, and I'll address them all at once!"

Faced with Uchiha Owl's unbridled threat, the dozen or so clan elders naturally dared not speak any further.

But deep down, she was plotting something.

"Don't resist."

Looking at the horde of 1,500 or 1,600 people, Uchiha Owl naturally couldn't let Lie Que carry them back; there was neither the space nor the honor.

Thus, darkness materialized and manifested as a dense black mist.

All the Hyuga clan members who occupied the entire long street were sealed inside a fist-sized obsidian sphere.

During this period, it is impossible for everyone to obey without resistance.

However, the subconscious resistance of a small number of people was obviously no match for the power of darkness, only causing Uchiha Owl to be slightly more mentally agitated.

Among them, the most vehemently opposed were the clan elders.

Seeing the darkness and terror of the battlefield through those glaring eyes, how could they dare to put their lives in the hands of others?

Therefore, unlike the others who were successfully sealed, these ten or so people were first stunned by the darkness before being sealed away.

Although, like everyone else, they were unconsciously trapped within the seal.

But upon waking, the process of being gently encroached upon by darkness was far from a comfortable experience.

They won't recover for at least half a month, which will reduce Hinata's troubles.

"That's a terrifying ability."

Tsunade, who had been watching quietly from the side, let out a soft breath, a look of apprehension on her face.

This ability to take away more than 1,500 people at once would be an extremely effective and unpredictable sneak attack method in wartime.

It was absolutely the key blow that determined the outcome of the battle, and judging from Uchiha Owl's completely calm expression, this was clearly not the upper limit of his ability.

"The business is done, it's time to go back."

Uchiha Owl looked up at the sky where dark clouds were gradually appearing, and nodded in satisfaction.

Making Konoha forever shrouded in darkness is not just empty talk.

Simply dispersing the clouds in the sky is of no use.

It could even be said that as long as Uchiha Owl exists, darkness will never be able to leave on its own.

Then, Uchiha Owl reached out and placed his hand on Tsunade's arm, despite her nonchalant expression.

Then, with a flash of black light, the two vanished instantly from the empty street.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived at Izumi's side using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Xiao Xiao, is everything taken care of?"

Within the crystal headband of Susanoo, Izumi was idly surveying the scorched earth of Konoha, sighing inwardly.

But a familiar aura suddenly appeared beside her, and she knew who it was without even turning her head.

"It's done, but the vacancies haven't been reinstated yet?"

Uchiha Owl nodded, then looked down at the enormous monster with surprise.

According to his estimation, Lieque should have recovered almost completely by now.

"His injuries have healed, but I don't know why he's lying there unresponsive."

Quan looked at Lie Que, who was pretending to be dead, with some worry and was filled with tension, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Uchiha Owl controlled Susanoo to dissipate, turning into countless specks of dust.

The three people who fell from mid-air disappeared in a flash of black light.

With one hand gripping Izumi's shoulder and the other grabbing Tsunade's arm, Uchiha Owl teleported the two of them to the top of Lie Que's head using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Then another flash of black light, and Uchiha Sasuke was also brought onto Lie Que's body.

"What's wrong with this stinky bird?"

Tsunade looked at Lie Que, whose breathing was steady and who had no obvious external injuries, and asked with great interest.

After all, this is a gigantic ninja beast that is even more terrifying than the tailed beasts.

Even though he didn't have Orochimaru's terrifying research desire, a strong sense of curiosity still arose in his heart.

"Playing dead."

Without needing to examine him closely, Uchiha Owl, who could tell Lie Que's condition with just a slight sense, lightly kicked his massive forehead.

"Stop playing dead, get up, we're getting ready to go back!"

Lie Que's two eagle eyes, which used to shine like light bulbs, were now almost dim.

Upon hearing Uchiha Owl's call, it flashed slightly and let out a weak groan, as if it were severely injured, on the verge of death, and unable to recover.

"Now it's three times the amount."

Seeing that Lie Que was pretending to be dead, Uchiha Xiao tripled the salary for this trip.

Guh~~

Upon hearing that there was such a good thing, Lie Que cried out even more pitifully and pretended to be even more miserable.

Its black beak opened slightly, spitting out a mouthful of dark red "blood".

"double!"

Looking at the pool of blood forced out by the power of darkness, Uchiha Owl ruthlessly reduced the reward.

Goo!

At this point, Lie Que could no longer pretend and flapped his wings to stand up from the ground.

Glug! Caw~

It didn't dare to get angry at Uchiha Owl at all, and could only pretend to be pitiful and let out a series of cries.

"Four times, you put in a lot of effort today, let me give you some more."

Seeing that Lie Que stood up and stopped pretending to be sick, Uchiha Xiao didn't mind Lie Que's pretense and even doubled the amount.

After all, surviving the Eight Gates Formation is already an extremely commendable achievement.

*Gurgle!*

Upon hearing this, Lie Que let out a long, invigorated roar, and with a sudden flap of his wings, he disappeared into Konoha Village amidst a raging storm.
