The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

He seemed to understand a little bit about the reason behind Obito's attitude that day.

In this matter, he was not even as good as an outsider. Kakashi felt deeply guilty more than once since yesterday.

"It's great to be young." Watching Kakashi and a group of friends leave, Cang Si couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, hey, hey, Cang Si, you're not an adult yet, is it okay to say something like that?" A familiar, magnetic voice came from behind Cang Si.

Cang Si turned around and saw a man wearing an ANBU fox mask.

"Who are you? Minato?" Cang Si asked uncertainly.

Hearing Cang Si's question, the Anbu member also reached out and took off the mask on his face.

It was none other than Minato Namikaze!

"I didn't expect to see you, Souji, sighing about life on the street. It's really not easy." Minato teased with a smile.

"Minato, when did you join the Anbu?" Looking at Minato's outfit, Cang Si looked around curiously.

Although the Anbu has regulations on confidentiality to the outside world, they are generally not so strict with acquaintances.

What's more, there were no other passers-by near where Cang Si was now.

Minato felt a little uncomfortable after being stared at by Cangsi.

"I just joined the Anbu not long ago and just finished my mission. I didn't expect to meet you here." Minato quickly interrupted Souji who continued to observe his movements.

"Of course, Minato. I didn't expect that you would be able to come out on your own to carry out ANBU missions so soon. Do your best. ANBU is a good place to train." Cang Si was sincerely happy that his friend joined ANBU.

This can be said to be Minato's move one step closer to his dream.

"It's nothing. This mission shouldn't have been carried out by the Anbu. The Konoha Police Force could have handled it. It was just that the Hokage gave it to me in order to train me." Minato described the mission very seriously.

random.

But Cang Si did not take the initiative to ask what the mission was.

Although the two are good friends, this kind of thing obviously shouldn't be discussed too much.

Unlike letting one's identities known to close friends, any mission performed by the Anbu, no matter how big or small, cannot be publicized at will.

The two sides chatted for a while, then said goodbye to each other and left.

Souji wandered around the Konoha Village for a while, and as expected, he didn't hear any bad words about Hatake Sakumo along the way.

I think with the departure of Hatake Sakumo, the village leaders no longer have any reason to target a Kage-level strongman who gave up the position of the next Hokage.

If Hatake Sakumo were still in Konoha now, the village leaders would not have enough time to appease the people, let alone continue to suppress them.

Originally, according to the intention of the village leaders, it would be enough to suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige in the village for a period of time, but they never thought of using public opinion to restrain the other party for life.

Now this result cannot be said to be completely in line with the wishes of the Konoha top leaders, but at least it can be said to be good.

After roughly understanding the current situation, Cang Si chose to go home.

If he had so much time to go shopping, he might as well consider developing his ice escape skills.

Cang Si now feels that he has not even reached half of the development of Ice Escape.

He believes that he will become even stronger once he further develops his ice escape ability!

A few days later, a piece of news, not too big or too small, came from the village.

That is the ninja who was rescued by Hatake Sakumo and eventually turned around and accused Hatake Sakumo and committed suicide.

His suicide did not cause any commotion.

In fact, when Souji met Minato Namikaze that day, he was dealing with this matter.

Finally, through Minato's investigation, it was found that the ninja's death was entirely due to guilt, and there was no human factor involved.

The torment of conscience continued to plague the ninja.

It was out of both guilt towards Hatake Sakumo and hatred towards Danzo's coercion and inducement.

He finally couldn't bear the pressure and chose to end his life.

The matter was dealt with hastily and coldly.

In the days that followed, Cang Si continued to live a secluded life.

If he is not training, he is doing research and collecting blood from everyone in the family.

Over the past few months, Cang Si used various accidents to collect the blood of hundreds of family members.

Of course, I still go out and hang out with my friends occasionally.

Several other people who were close to Minato also knew that Minato had joined the ANBU.

Everyone congratulated Minato!

Before we knew it, it was the end of the 39th year of Konoha.

Since the end of the Second Ninja World War at the beginning of the year, the entire Ninja World has been very peaceful this year.

But Cangsi knew that next year would be the last year of peace in the ninja world.

After next year, local conflicts in the ninja world will occur again.

It then slowly evolved into the Third Ninja World War.

That would be a more brutal war!

In the original work, Konoha also gave up its position as the number one ninja village in the ninja world after the Third Ninja World War.

"I have to find a time to leave Konoha next year and go to the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water." On the last day of the year, after gathering with his friends, Cang Si thought silently after returning.

Because, Cang Si has many plans that can only be carried out smoothly in the Hidden Mist Village!

Chapter 94: Showdown with Minato

Just after the New Year, when it was the first day of Konoha's 40th year, Souji went to visit Minato Namikaze.

He was afraid that Minato would start his work as an Anbu member in a few days.

"buckle"

There was a knock on the door.

"coming."

The first thing Minato saw when he opened the door was Souji who came to visit with gifts.

"Cang Si, why are you here today?" Minato, wearing a casual home suit, looked at Cang Si with a surprised look on his face and asked.

"Hey, I'm just here to wish you a happy new year, and by the way, I want to ask you for a favor." Cang Si said this without any embarrassment at all.

The two have known each other for such a long time, there is no need to hide many things.

If there is a need, they will usually speak directly to each other.

"You guy, come in first and talk." Minato had long been aware of Cang Si's character. He smiled helplessly and welcomed Cang Si into the house.

After entering Minato's house, Souji casually placed the gifts for the visit on the table beside him, then found a chair and sat down.

This way, he doesn't consider himself an outsider at all.

In fact, several friends often visit each other, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

On the contrary, if you are too reserved, it will make the person involved unhappy.

"Tell me, what do you need my help with? Today is a rare day for you to rest at home. In a few days I will have to go to the Anbu to work again." Minato also came and sat down next to Souji and asked.

"Minato, don't you know how to entertain guests? When guests come to your house, you should at least serve them a cup of tea." Cang Si looked at Minato with resentment.

This immediately caused Minato to roll his eyes.

"The tea is freshly brewed on the table, pour it yourself." Minato was speechless, but he didn't continue to ask why Sorasuke was looking for him.

Seeing Minato being humiliated, Cang Si happily took a cup and filled it with tea.

People generally do not visit others on the first day of the New Year. Only from the second day onwards do acquaintances visit each other.

It was impossible for Minato not to be curious about Souji's uncharacteristic behavior.

You know, as the head of the Souji Hyuga clan, it seems that they have never asked him for any help over the years.

Basically, Cang Si can solve them all by himself.

Status and money are not everything, but with Cang Si's current position in the Hyuga clan, he rarely needs to ask others for help.

But this time things are different, Cang Si needs someone to cover him.

Cang Si doesn't trust other people, only a few friends can get Cang Si's complete trust.

Among his friends, Minato is the one that Cang Si trusts the most.

Cang Si looked at the steaming tea in front of him and without saying anything, he expressed his intention with his actions.

He stretched out his right hand, held the teacup, and then a cold air came out from Cang Si's right hand, instantly freezing the originally boiling hot tea into ice cubes.

After putting down the teacup that had turned into an ice ball, Cang Si's right hand continued to emit cold air. A layer of frost quickly condensed on Cang Si's hand, and then formed an ice mask.

Under Minato's shocked gaze, Souji put the ice mask on his face.

"This, this is Ice Escape! Cangsi, are you the mysterious man Jin who is lurking in the eastern coastal area of ​​the Land of Fire that we in Konoha are looking for now?" Although Cangsi did not say a word, everything he did had already stunned Minato!

Minato really didn't expect that the Kage-level strongman with Ice Release Bloodline who made the Konoha's top leaders anxious and wanted to find as soon as possible was actually his good friend!

It is understandable that the Konoha high-level officials are so anxious.

After all, if a powerful Kage-level figure with unknown origins and purposes suddenly appears in any country, people will be worried every day.

Throughout the past year, ever since the name Jin appeared in the Land of Fire, there has not been a single day that the top leaders of Konoha can feel at ease.

No one would feel at ease if a mobile nuclear bomb like a Kage-level strongman was out of their control and was wandering around their country.

If the Konoha top brass doesn't take any action, then it's time for them to step down.

苍司

Now wearing the ice mask, he looks exactly like the image of King Jin that Konoha Anbu obtained from the black market.

All that's missing is a gorgeous white robe.

Minato had no doubt that Souji definitely had such clothes. ..

Minato learned about King's image as soon as he joined the Anbu.

We also learned from the Third Hokage that Jin is a Kage-level strongman who possesses the Ice Release bloodline.

However, Minato could not connect King and Souji at all.

The two sides are really incompatible.

Cang Si, a member of the Hyuga clan's main family, can actually use ice escape!

Seeing Minato like this, Souji was very satisfied.

Then he took the ice mask off his face again, looked at Minato with a smile and said, "Hey, you got it right, but there's no reward."

Finally, Cang Si spread his hands out.

When Souji was about to ask Minato for help, he was already prepared for a showdown.

That’s not the case. Cang Si wasn’t planning on hiding it from his friends. After all, they were people he could absolutely trust.

It’s just that Cang Si didn’t have the chance to demonstrate his ice escape in front of those people.

There aren't many people who need to join forces to fight the enemy, so why bother?

"Cang Si, tell me honestly, when did you learn Ice Escape?" Minato finally came back to his senses and asked Cang Si with a curious look on his face.

"Remember a few years ago, I would go to training every night and come back covered in injuries. At that time, I was trying to condense the wind and water chakras in my body in order to awaken the ice escape technique. As for officially mastering it, it was the day my grandfather passed away." Cang Si narrated all this calmly.

"No wonder, it turns out that at that time you were not learning new ninjutsu, but trying to master the power of ice escape." Minato also recalled this incident.

At that time, Minato didn't dare to relax even for a moment even though he was stimulated by Souji.

Therefore, at that time, Minato's strength also increased by leaps and bounds.

"There's nothing I can do. Minato, your strength is improving so fast. If I don't try other methods, I'll probably be left far behind by you. And that kid Yan has been wanting to 'rebel' for a long time." Thinking back to the past, Cang Si felt very sad.

"Of course. I didn't expect that you, Cang Si, had kept it a secret from us for so long. If you hadn't thought of asking me for help today, would you have continued to hide it?" Minato looked at Cang Si with a playful expression as he looked at his evasive eyes.

"You've wronged me. I just haven't found the right opportunity." After saying this, Cang Si looked at Minato seriously, as if to show that he had no guilt.
