Master, please become the Hokage

They pushed forward all the way, directly broke through Konoha's defense line, and went deep into the important location in the Land of Fire... Mount Kikyo.

Konoha is under attack from all sides and is on the verge of collapse.

An unprecedented shadow loomed over Konoha...

......

Wow...

It's raining heavily.

It is clearly after the New Year, but there are no snowflakes falling.

Inside the Hyuga clan's residence, Hyuga Hiashi looked gloomy.

The battle reports coming from the front line touched everyone's heart.

As the saying goes, when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

If Konoha fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Hiashi-sama...something bad has happened..."

Just then, a member of the branch family rushed in.

He looked panicked, as if he was about to cry.

"What's wrong?" Hinata Hiashi immediately stood up and asked.

"The leader of the Zong family... died in battle!"

"what?!"

Hinata Hiashi's eyes suddenly widened.

Almost all the branch family members sent out to fight against the Mist Hidden Front died, and the relative from the main family also did not survive.

"What about the white eyes?!"

Hinata Hiashi asked immediately.

What he was most worried about at the moment was the outflow of white eyes.

The trembling answer from the branch family that followed was like a heavy hammer, hitting Hinata Hiashi's chest hard.

"It is said, it is said that Kirigakure received one of the adults' Byakugan eyes..."

"!"

Hinata Hiashi suddenly felt dizzy.

The Hyuga clan's destiny to protect the Byakugan was compromised in this generation.

After all, one of the White Eyes was lost...

Wow...

It's still raining.

Hinata Hiashi, however, could hear nothing.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts.

There is the wrath of Konoha's high-ranking officials, and the fear of the Hyuga clan...

......

The meeting of the jonin class was opened again.

Hinata Hiashi's face was pale as he sat there.

The Konoha high-ranking officials were furious and reprimanded the Hyuga clan for their incompetence.

However, everyone knew that the Hyuga clan had done their duty.

So, is the enemy too strong? Or... are the Konoha high-ranking officials... too helpless...

Dismissing any inappropriate thoughts, everyone continued to listen to the speeches of their superiors with gloomy expressions.

Ryo Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze were also present, both with expressionless faces, and no one could guess what they were thinking.

The Konoha ninjas were gradually wiped out, and a large number of children were sent to the battlefield.

The war is raging across the Fire Nation, and countless ordinary people are displaced.

Now the Hyuga clan has lost their Byakugan again.

Facing siege from all sides, Konoha is in danger.

More than 1 Iwagakure ninjas could invade Konoha at any time.

And because of the efforts of the Third Kazekage, Ōnoki did not think of going it alone and letting his subordinates invade the distant Kumogakure.

History...was changed.

Ōnoki focused his attention on Konoha and Sunagakure.

It is obvious that the Kingdom of Wind is a barren land and it is useless to occupy it.

So Ohnoki's target is naturally the nearest Konoha.

And on the Sand Village side.

After clearing out the termites, a large amount of money and supplies were found, which directly raised the reserves of Sand Village to a higher level.

Money and materials were put where they should be used.

The Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo...are all Kage-level masters who have been famous for a long time.

With the tempering of war, Ye Cang and Luo Sha's strength improved and they also reached the level of Kage.

Therefore, Sand Village currently has five Kage-level masters.

While the economy is thriving, the new generation has unlimited potential.

And Konoha, which was known as the strongest, has now fallen into such a state.

......

After the meeting.

Hinata Hiashi and the elders of the main family secretly scouted the entire night.

Finally come to a conclusion.

The Fire Nation...is in danger of extinction.

Konoha naturally cannot remain immune.

I'm afraid the final outcome will be the same as that of the Uzumaki clan.

"The destiny of our Hyuga clan is to protect the Byakugan..."

In the dark night, there were lightning and thunder outside.

Hinata Hiashi raised his eyes and looked at the elder's serious face.

"Hizuki, it's time for us to make a choice..."

"Elder, what do you mean...?"

Hinata Hiashi vaguely guessed something.

When the clan elder announced the decision, Rizu's eyes suddenly widened.

As expected...is this the step we have to take?

Leaving...Konoha...

Chapter 63. The th son, Ri Xiangxia

A rainy afternoon.

The wind rushed in and the windows kept slapping, making a noise.

Sarutobi Ryo sat in the living room, calmly practicing his chakra control techniques.

There is a glass of water in front of the table.

The water in the cup was covered with visibly frozen flowers.

This is a new technique that Sarutobi Ryo has developed in recent days, or rather...improved chakra control.

Ordinary ninjas can only release chakra from their palms or soles of their feet.

Sarutobi Ryo began to try to radiate chakra outwards from acupuncture points all over his body.

This is a slow process, there is no need to rush.

"Master Liang, this is probably the case..."

Across from the low table, the maid from the branch family was kneeling there with a gloomy expression.

Since the last incident, she was forced to become Sarutobi Ryo's spy, passing on information about the main family to Sarutobi Ryo.

Except for the caged bird mark on his forehead.

There was another brand on her lower abdomen.

This made her realize that her life was also in the hands of the man in front of her.

The onset of the curse will cause great torture to the recipient.

When the recipient dies, there is usually no trace of the curse left.

In other words...there is no evidence.

For the sake of her own life, Hinata Xia could only listen to the arrangements of the man in front of her.

After all, only by being alive can you have everything.

In fact, Sarutobi Ryo knew better than anyone why Hinata Xia quickly became obedient.

Being used to being a slave, one naturally gets used to being dominated by others.

Compared to the gloomy Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Ruri, these people have a rebellious spirit.

Hinata Natsu is the type of slave who lets things be as they please.

The mark of the curse made Hinata Natsu subconsciously accept Sarutobi Ryo's position as the superior.

Her servility at this moment was full of the meaning of a slave.

Of course, Sarutobi Ryo did not torture Hinata Natsu, he just asked her to pass on information.

The recent developments of the Hyuga clan are not optimistic.

A large number of family members died in the battle.

He lost another eye roll from the clan.

This was a major blow to the Hyuga clan.

Considering the changing situation in the ninja world, Konoha is in danger.

The idea of ​​protecting destiny began to emerge within the Hyuga clan.

No...it's better to say, they have always been like this.

The Hyuga clan joined Konoha simply to follow history and the general trend.

In fact, his main job is to protect the Byakugan.

"understood."

Sarutobi nodded to indicate that he had received it.

interesting......

The Hyuga clan is actually running away.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

For them, the cold shoulder is above all else.
