Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

The Nara family's residence.

meeting room.

"My father..."

Where is Hyuga Hizashi?

Neji Hyuga took a step forward.

His pure white eyes were filled with undisguised coldness.

The voice just fell.

The atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became extremely strange.

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza looked at each other in bewilderment.

The three middle-aged men felt their heads buzzing.

What did they hear?

Father?

Hyuga Hizashi?

Choza Akimichi couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Yamanaka Inoichi stared wide-eyed at the boy with the disdainful eyes in front of him.

In their world.

Hyuga Hizashi did indeed have a son named Hyuga Neji.

But that child is not even ten years old this year!

The boy before them was tall and slender, with an intimidating aura.

The most crucial thing is that the boy's forehead is completely smooth, without the curse mark that signifies the separation of the family!

"you……"

"Are you really Hyuga Neji?"

Yamanaka Inoichi's voice was dry and hoarse.

Neji Hyuga completely ignored this nonsense.

The veins around his eyes suddenly bulged.

A terrifying pressure of chakra enveloped the entire conference room.

Answer me.

"I used my Byakugan to scan the entire Hidden Leaf Village before."

"There is no trace of my father's chakra in the Hyuga clan's compound."

Where is he?

Hyuga Neji's tone was extremely cold.

He was very aware of his father's chakra fluctuations.

But in this so-called parallel world, he can't find his father.

Not only that.

Just now, when I looked down at Konoha with my Byakugan.

He also saw the members of the Hyuga branch family at the Hyuga headquarters.

Those people all had ugly caged bird curse marks etched on their foreheads!

Even the eyes of those who split up the family members revealed a nauseating numbness and despair.

This made Hyuga Neji, who was used to equality, feel a kind of physiological nausea.

Under the pressure of this Shadow-level power.

Nara Shikaku's breathing became difficult.

Such pure eye roll!

This murderous intent is almost tangible!

Even the current Hyuga clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, could never unleash such an aura!

"he……"

"A year and a half ago."

"The Hidden Cloud Village sent an envoy to formally sign a ceasefire agreement."

"Secretly, the leader of Kumogakure sneaked into the Hyuga camp at night, attempting to steal Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the main family."

Speaking of it.

Nara Shikaku paused for a moment.

"and then?"

Neji's gaze was icy as he stared intently at his opponent.

"The leader of Kumogakure was killed on the spot by Hiashi Hyuga."

"Kumaku Village is using this as an excuse to make a fuss."

"They turned around and accused Konoha of disrupting peace and deliberately murdering the head of the mission."

"The Land of Lightning has threatened to wage all-out war if the body of the murderer Hiashi Hyuga is not handed over."

Yamanaka Inoichi picked up the conversation.

Hearing his words.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes surged with crimson once more.

Nara Shikamaru also frowned slightly.

Temari let out an undisguised sneer.

The pharmacist pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing in the lenses.

"so……"

"Have the Konoha leadership compromised?"

"Let my father, his twin brother, die in place of Hiashi Hyuga?"

Neji, however, laughed in his extreme anger.

His voice, thick with anger, echoed throughout the meeting room.

"Konoha had just experienced the Nine-Tails' rampage and then fought the Third Shinobi World War."

"The village needs to rest and recuperate."

"The higher-ups believe that Konoha cannot afford a full-scale war with Kumogakure at this time."

"This is a last resort."

Nara Shikaku closed his eyes in pain.

Since the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, took over.

Compromise seems to have become a very normal thing!

"Bang!"

A solid wood square table was instantly reduced to countless fragments.

"A last resort?"

"To hell with a desperate measure!"

The usually calm Hyuga Neji suddenly swore.

He originally thought that the Uchiha clan in this world was miserable enough.

did not expect.

The Hyuga clan in this world is nothing but a bunch of spineless good-for-nothings!

Even the higher-ups in Konoha are a bunch of cowards!

"Neji, calm down."

Shikamaru patted Neji on the shoulder.

Neji's chest heaved violently, and his eyes seemed to burn with a dark blue flame.

He looked at Nara Shikaku and the other two, his eyes filled with pity and disdain.

"You know, in our world..."

"How did His Majesty Chiba handle this matter?"

"..."

Nara Shikaku and the other two suddenly opened their eyes and looked at Neji.

They also wanted to figure it out.

How will Chiba, who can overthrow even the Konoha leadership, handle this matter?

"Based on your timeline."

"Fifty-fourth year of Konoha".

"Those bastards from Kumogakure also infiltrated the Hyuga camp to steal Hinata."

"And the result?"

"His Majesty Chiba was prepared, and ordered the Anbu to cooperate with the Hyuga clan to kill all of the dozen or so Cloud Village ninjas on the spot!"

"Not a single one was left alive!"

"besides."

"His Majesty Chiba also ordered that all of these dozen or so corpses be packed up."

"I threw that ridiculous ceasefire agreement, along with it, onto the Raikage's desk!"

The mountain dweller gasped for breath.

Slaughter the entire delegation?

They even threw their bodies back?

This is practically rubbing the face of the Hidden Cloud Village in the mud!

Wouldn't this immediately ignite the Fourth Shinobi World War?

"He's gone mad..."

"Is this really something the Hokage would do?"

"This is driving the Raikage insane!"

Akimichi Choza was so frightened that his fat trembled violently.

"The Raikage has definitely gone mad."

"He led Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and assembled a force of five thousand from the Hidden Cloud Village to the border of the Land of Fire."

"..."

Look at Akimichi Choza's reaction.

Neji's face showed a hint of disdain.

"That……"

"How does your Konoha... defend itself?"

Nara Shikaku's voice trembled as he pressed for an answer.

Five thousand ninja soldiers are pressing in.

Furthermore, the Raikage and a perfect Jinchūriki are leading the team.

This level of warfare capability is enough to wipe out any small country.

If Konoha wants to take on this battle, it will have to mobilize at least half of its regular forces.

"Defense?"

Why defend?

"His Majesty Chiba did not mobilize the Konoha ninja army at all."

He went to the border alone.

Neji's eyes were filled with fanaticism and worship.

The meeting room fell silent once again.

Nara Shikaku's brain has gone blank.

A person?

Facing an army of five thousand?

Are there two more peak-level Kage-level experts?

What kind of fantastical fairy tale is this?

"Are you kidding me?!"

Yamanaka Inoichi blurted out.

"Who has time to joke around with you guys?"

"His Majesty Chiba single-handedly swept through that army of five thousand."

"The Raikage was sent flying by a single punch from His Majesty Chiba."

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki released a Tailed Beast Ball, but His Majesty Chiba pressed it back into his stomach with his bare hands."

"In the end, His Majesty Chiba found it too troublesome."

"I immediately activated Sage Mode, and used a Wood Release ninjutsu to cover the entire battlefield."

"That battle."

"Of the five thousand troops in the Hidden Cloud Village, more than four thousand were killed on the spot."

"The rest, including the Raikage and the Eight-Tails, were all severely injured and taken prisoner."

"His Majesty Chiba has these prisoners of war in his hands and is forcing Kumogakure to pay a ransom."

"The Hidden Cloud Village not only paid out 6 billion yen in cash, but also ceded two chakra mines and even handed over its secret Lightning Release technique."

"..."

Sasuke crossed his arms and gave Yamanaka Inoichi a cold glance.

How could these ignorant, narrow-minded people possibly know the power of His Majesty!

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Nara Shikaku opened his mouth wide, like a dying fish.

He felt that all the tactics and military strategies he had studied for half his life had become worthless at this moment.

One person can defeat an army of five thousand?

They forced the Hidden Cloud Village to pay compensation, and even demanded they hand over their secret Lightning Release technique.

What kind of incredible feat is this?

the most important is.

Before Hyuga Neji and the others appeared.

Nara Shikaku always believed that although Konoha in his world was corrupt, it was still the largest village in the ninja world.

But after listening to these people's descriptions...

He suddenly felt that Konoha in this world was simply a ridiculous quagmire.

In order to preserve their power, those at the top will only compromise externally while turning against their own people.

They forced Hizashi to his death and pressured the Uchiha clan.

They even had to betray their companions to buy themselves a little time to survive.
