Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 247 Qianhe: Do you accept this daughter-in-law?

"What a pity, this little girl's personality is a bit too gentle!"

Kushina said regretfully.

"Not satisfied?"

Chiga asked curiously.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I always feel like something's missing."

Kushina smacked her lips!

She glanced at Hinata Hyuga, then at Sakura Haruno.

It seems to be comparing the differences between the two.

Kushina herself has a very outgoing and carefree personality, so by extension, I actually prefer Sakura Haruno's volatile personality, which has two distinct personalities.

And most importantly, it seems that my silly son likes this kind of thing.

It's probably because he inherited Minato's preferences.

Red hair, irritable temper!

After all, toads don't grow hair; they follow their roots!

But after observing for a few days, Kushina also realized that Sakura Haruno's heart was completely devoted to Sasuke Uchiha, and she had no feelings for her own son at all.

On the contrary, Hinata Hyuga, who stutters when she speaks with Naruto, is completely devoted to Naruto Uzumaki.

"Let's observe further!"

Kushina sighed.

As a parent, Kushina naturally hoped that Naruto Uzumaki could find someone he liked who also liked him to marry.

But the conditions don't allow it, so we can only observe further.

At that moment, the electronic screen displayed the information of the players who would be facing off next.

It was none other than Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga.

Upon hearing that her opponent was Hyuga Neji, Hinata Hyuga's face immediately showed a look of horror. She lowered her head and took small steps as she walked into the arena.

Seeing Hinata's terrified expression, Kushina asked curiously, "What's wrong? This girl seems really unwilling to fight! Is she going to surrender?"

"That's just her personality; she's naturally averse to conflict and lacks assertiveness!"

Chiga explained.

"Even so, is it really necessary to be this scared?"

"Is that guy over there really that scary?"

Kushina pointed to the audience below the field and said with a frown.

"They are actually siblings. Hinata Hyuga is Hiashi Hyuga's daughter."

Chiga sighed and said, "And that kid is Hizashi-senpai's son."

"As for the reason..."

After recounting to Kushina the story of Hyuga Hizashi dying for his brother in this world, he...

Kushina then understood.

This is a dispute between the Hyuga main family and the Hyuga branch family.

The boy named Hyuga Neji clearly hated the Hyuga main family.

"Looks like this little girl's in for a tough time!"

Kushina muttered something to herself and then said nothing more.

On the field, Neji Hyuga had a cold face and was verbally provoking Hinata Hyuga, seemingly trying to make her give up the match.

"Hinata! Quickly, kill this self-righteous bastard!"

Naruto Uzumaki, who had already reached his limit, ignited Hinata Hyuga's fighting spirit with his words.

Hinata Hyuga recalled the ninja way spoken by the person she loved.

Her gaze gradually hardened, and her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals.

"Eye roll!"

"Neji-nii-san, let's settle this once and for all!"

Hinata Hyuga assumed a Gentle Fist stance and looked at Neji Hyuga with a serious expression.

Kushina then laughed and said, "Ha, I think I understand why this girl fell for my son!"

"Oh!"

Chiga smiled, seemingly puzzled.

Her childhood experiences, coupled with her father's strictness, made the timid Hinata Hyuga even more introverted.

However, this gave Naruto Uzumaki an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and save the damsel in distress.

Otherwise, with Naruto's orphan status, how could he possibly date a young lady of this caliber?

The battle between the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan has begun.

Both sides used soft boxing techniques in their fight.

However, Hyuga Neji is hailed as the first person in Hyuga's history to be called a genius, and he is also one year older than Hyuga Hinata.

Just a few rounds later, Hinata Hyuga was hit by Neji Hyuga and coughed up blood.

The ensuing battle turned into a one-sided affair.

Hinata Hyuga's attacks were completely unable to hit Neji Hyuga, and she was instead knocked down by Neji Hyuga time and time again.

In front of Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga refused to fall and, encouraged by Naruto, repeatedly stood up.

That indomitable spirit earned Kushina's admiring look.

Seeing this, Chiga chuckled and said, "Would you accept a daughter-in-law like this?"

"recognize!"

Kushina nodded firmly: "Facing challenges bravely and never giving up—that's what a daughter-in-law like me, Kushina, should be like!"

As she spoke, Kushina glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, who was still encouraging Hinata Hyuga, and said with displeasure, "That idiot son of mine, can't he see that Hinata has already reached her limit? He still wants Hinata to stand up! He really doesn't care about girls at all!"

"."

Chiga had already figured out Kushina's double standards, so he didn't care.

Kushina continued, "Chika, when we get back, find a chance to spar with Jonin Hizashi. I want him bedridden for half a month!"

Kushina was determined to get revenge when her daughter-in-law was bullied.

However, since Neji Hyuga was suspected of bullying the younger one, Kushina still had her pride, so she could only take revenge on Hizashi Hyuga!

Hyuga Hizashi: This damn thing!

Before Chiga could reply, Hyuga Neji, provoked by Hinata's words, charged towards her.

It seems they intend to deliver a fatal blow to Hinata Hyuga.

"Chika, I'm going downstairs!"

At this moment, Kushina couldn't stand it any longer and used a Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Hyuga Neji.

She grabbed Hyuga Neji's wrist tightly and said coldly, "Enough! The match is over!"

Everyone looked surprised at the sudden appearance of the secret agents.

"So fast!"

"Strange, why are the Anbu members involved?"

"It must have been ordered by the Hokage!"

"Indeed, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, nothing can happen to her!"

All the Konoha Jonin present were ready to go down and stop Hyuga Neji's actions, but Kushina was one step ahead of them.

This surprised them as to why the ANBU ninjas would interrupt the match.

"Wow, that's fast! This ANBU member is no pushover!"

Kakashi thought to himself, then glanced at Chika without making a sound.

After learning from Sakura Haruno that Chiga was the ANBU member with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he secretly called upon the ANBU members.

However, they received information from the Anbu that the Anbu did not have any information about Chiga and Kushina.

Unless they are Root ninjas.

Kakashi Hatake had also been in contact with Danzo Shimura and knew that the guy had done a lot of experiments on human subjects and had even taken over the experimental data from the rogue ninja Orochimaru.

And Chiga could very well be a test subject!

If it's someone from Root, Kakashi Hatake doesn't think it'll be a big problem.

If the Hokage puts pressure on me, I can't say I'll know everything, but I should be able to get some useful information.

But if it's a Uchiha clan member who was left behind outside, then it's hard to say!

It has now been confirmed that Orochimaru has infiltrated Konoha. If we add the Uchiha who are unaware of this information, who knows how much damage they will cause to Konoha!

Regardless of the situation, let's surround these two people first!

Once the preliminary rounds are over and the Jonin from other countries have left the competition, we will immediately arrest them!

As Kakashi Hatake thought this, he secretly made a few more hand gestures.

In a secluded corner of this large venue, several figures flashed by.

"Oh? So it really is the main branch of the Hyuga clan, even the ANBU ninjas have to take special care of them! Is this the Hokage's intention?"

In the arena, Hyuga Neji shook off Kushina's hand and sneered.

"Hmph, that old man can't boss me around. I just don't like you!"

Kushina rolled her eyes at Hyuga Neji, then walked towards Hyuga Hinata.

At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi, who was Hinata Hyuga, jumped down and said to Kushina, "Thank you for your help! Leave the rest to me!"

"Of course!"

Kushina chuckled softly, then said, "Your subordinate has suffered severe internal injuries. I know a little medical skill; let me treat her first!"

Hinata?!

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi turned to look at Hinata Hyuga and saw that Hinata Hyuga had slowly collapsed.

She immediately stepped aside and said to Kushina, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina did not reply, but quickly walked to Hinata Hyuga's side.

She placed her hands on Hinata's chest, and a stream of green energy slowly flowed into Hinata's body.

With the use of the Healing Palm Technique, Hinata Hyuga's pained expression eased slightly.

Seeing this, Kurenai Yuhi relaxed and allowed Kushina to treat Hinata Hyuga.

As Hinata Hyuga's chest injury gradually healed, she woke up and saw that it was the ANBU who had stopped Neji Hyuga's attack earlier. She opened her mouth, about to say something.

Seeing this, Kushina lowered her head and whispered in Hinata's ear, "To be honest, I didn't think much of you at first, but I really like your indomitable spirit!"

"And you and Naruto are a perfect match, I'm rooting for you!"

"But that guy has very low emotional intelligence, you'll have to be more proactive!"

Hinata Hyuga was surprised that the ANBU member who saved her would say such things to her, and her cheeks immediately flushed.

She had already said her thanks, but shyly turned her head away, explaining, "Um... I don't... like Naruto!"

Kushina smiled slightly, not wanting to further provoke her chosen daughter-in-law, and simply said, "Alright, your injuries are under control for now!"

After a brief treatment, Hinata Hyuga was out of danger, but she still needed to rest, so she was taken away by the medical ninjas.

Kushina has returned to Chiga's side.

Upon returning to Chiga's side, Kushina looked around and then said to Chiga, "Sorry, it seems we were exposed prematurely because of this!"

Chiga shook his head and said, "It's not Kushina-sensei's fault; Kakashi has been eyeing the two of us for a while now!"

In fact, Chiga had already noticed something unusual about the surroundings, but since the group of ANBU were only monitoring the two of them and hadn't made a move, he didn't pay any attention to it.

It seems to be a tactic employed by Kakashi Hatake, who has been keeping a close eye on them.

After all, he was there openly and legitimately.

Sasuke Uchiha should have rushed over long ago to question him about the meaning of those words.

Unexpectedly, he only glanced at me twice and then ignored me completely.

It's likely that Kakashi Hatake gave the instructions.

It's estimated that Kakashi Hatake had already planned to surround the two of them by then.

As for why they haven't taken action yet, it's probably because they don't want to interrupt the qualifiers.

"This guy is still so alert!"

Kushina chuckled and asked, "Shall we continue watching?"

"There's no need!"

Chiga shrugged and said that there were only two more matches left, and neither of them involved anyone they cared about, so there was no need to pay special attention to them.

"Let's go back then. I was worried about leaving Karin alone anyway."

Upon hearing this, Kushina put her hand on Chiga's shoulder.

Chiga also looked up and gazed in Kakashi Hatake's direction.

Chiga made eye contact with Kakashi Hatake, nodded slightly, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Kushina away from there.

"Disappeared?!"

Upon seeing this, Kakashi Hatake's expression changed immediately. He quickly went to where Chiga and Kushina were, looking around to find out how they had left.

But after searching everywhere, there was no trace of them.

His expression immediately turned even uglier.

At that moment, an ANBU member approached Kakashi Hatake from behind and whispered, "Kakashi-senpai, there's absolutely no trace of those two guys within a hundred meters. It's like they vanished into thin air!"

"This is troublesome, is it a space-time ninjutsu?"

Kakashi Hatake seemed to have figured out how Chiga and Kushina left, and at the same time, he thought of his teacher, Minato Namikaze.

Space-time type ninjutsu is incredibly terrifying!

"Kakashi! What happened?"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also came over and asked Kakashi Hatake.

"Third Hokage, it's like this."

Kakashi reported the whole story to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more surprised than when he heard that his disciple Orochimaru had arrived in Konoha.

A terrifying ninja with the Mangekyou Sharingan plus a female ninja whose strength is unknown.

These two combinations not only seem mysterious, but also dangerous!

"A member of the Uchiha clan who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Was it left behind outside?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't recall either; the night of the massacre that year was quite thorough.

All, at least all, members of the Uchiha clan registered in Konoha have been wiped out.

Could it really be an experiment created by Danzo Shimura?

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew his old friend well; even as an experimental subject, he would be a tool devoid of humanity, only interested in completing tasks.

They would certainly not do something like saving their own people.

"These are turbulent times!"

After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Let's search the village discreetly!"

"Understood, Hokage-sama!"
