"Could it be that the invaders are after the Hyuga clan's ninjutsu and secrets?"
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi looked at the secret room where the Hyuga clan's ninjutsu and secrets were stored.
But the result was somewhat unexpected.
The ninjutsu and secrets did not show any signs of being stolen.
"What's going on?"
Hiashi's face changed slightly: "The ninjutsu and secrets were not stolen? Then what is the purpose of the invaders?!"
He frowned and began to check the remaining secret rooms.
Until the last one, which was the secret room used to store the secrets of the Hyuga clan.
"This..."
Looking at the dozens of ancient books lost in the secret room, Hiashi was slightly stunned.
The invaders made such a big scene and even broke into the forbidden area. Could it be that they were just for these ancient books that were more symbolic than practical?
As the head of the Hyuga clan, he had read those ancient books more than once or twice.
It is nothing more than the rise and fall history of the Hyuga clan from the Warring States Period to the One Country One Village Period, and there are also detailed records of various battles.
Of course, there are some dark things.
But that was the Hyuga clan during the Warring States Period. Even if it was announced, what does it have to do with their Konoha Hyuga clan?
"Could it be that there are secrets in those secrets that I haven't discovered?"
Hiashi was puzzled for a while.
However, the caged bird scroll, ninjutsu, and secret techniques were not stolen, only some secrets that had no practical significance were lost, which was a blessing in disguise.
After a final check to confirm that no other items were lost, Hiashi walked out of the forbidden area with a thoughtful look on his face.
At this time, the three elders of the main family, as well as the members of the branch family including Hyuga Hizashi, had already rushed from the mansion to the outside of the forbidden area after hearing the noise.
It was just because of his status that he could wait outside the forbidden area no matter how anxious he was.
Seeing Hiashi coming out of the forbidden area.
Except for the few people who were checking and treating the injuries of the Hyuga clan members, everyone else looked at him.
"Hiashi!"
The three elders of the main family came up impatiently and asked, "What was lost in the forbidden area? Is the caged bird okay?!"
Although he knew that the secret room where the caged bird scroll was placed had an exquisite seal, it was unlikely that the intruder would steal the caged bird scroll.
But as long as there was a slight possibility of theft, that was unacceptable to them.
However, facing the anxious eyes of the three people, Hiashi did not answer directly, but looked around at everyone present with a scrutinizing gaze.
He took in the different expressions of everyone.
The anxiety on the faces of the elders of the main family, and the deep fear hidden.
The confusion, anger, and joy on the faces of the branch family members...
It can be said that the expressions of the branch family members were quite divided.
Until Hiashi looked serious and looked at Hyuga Hizashi who was standing at the end.
His expression was very complicated, with both superficial uneasiness and anxiety, and vague relief and disgust.
"Hiashi..."
Hiashi's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: "Could he have done it?"
Although he didn't want to doubt his brother, as the head of the Hyuga clan, he had to put aside his personal feelings.
Whether in terms of motivation or strength, Hiashi is undoubtedly the most likely person.
"Hiashi! Come on, is there anything wrong with the bird in the cage?!"
The elders of the main family became more anxious when they saw that he was slow to reply.
They couldn't even suppress their panic, and their voices trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, the ninjutsu, secret technique and bird in the cage were not stolen."
Hiashi's thoughts were also interrupted, and he turned to look at the three people and explained: "The only things lost were some secrets."
After getting Hiashi's reply, the elders of the main family breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that the bird in the cage is fine, it's good that it's fine!"
The bird in the cage is the root of the Hyuga clan's main family branch system.
Once the bird in the cage is in the hands of outsiders, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Hiashi walked to the side of several ninjas who were being treated and asked, "How are the injuries of these clan members? And the traces of battle nearby..."
Ninjas will also obtain information through various traces, and infer various useful intelligence.
And the traces of battle at the scene are so obvious, I guess we can get a lot of information.
Maybe we can deduce the identity of the invader from this.
"Master clan leader."
One of the branch family ninjas stood up and said hesitantly, "Judging from the traces at the scene, the ninjutsu used by the invader seems to be Kaiten..."
The main family members, including Hiashi, couldn't help but show surprise when they heard it.
"How is this possible?"
Kaiten is the main family's secret technique, but how could the main family invade the forbidden area? !
"Wait!"
One of the main family elders came back to his senses and looked at the branch family member who was responsible for checking the scene with a suspicious look: "Are you sure you looked carefully?"
"Of course..."
One of the branch family members was about to explain, but the face of another branch family member with a worse temper became embarrassed.
"Are you suspecting that we are partial and corrupt?"
He interrupted his companion and said angrily: "But the wounds on these people are obviously caused by ninjutsu similar to Kaiten, and the branch family is not qualified to learn Kaiten!"
As soon as these sarcastic words came out, the faces of the elders of the main family changed instantly.
"You!!"
Obviously, their thoughts were exposed.
But looking at the silent branch families, the elders of the main family were more suspicious and fearful.
Although the intruder only stole the secrets of the Hyuga clan, it also made the gap between the main family and the branch family bigger.
After all, it is almost impossible to sneak into the Hyuga forbidden area under the watchful eyes of the public.
The biggest possibility is that the intruder is in the Hyuga clan.
Either the branch family or the main family.
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming serious and depressing, Hizashi Hizashi, who was standing behind, could no longer remain silent.
"Changqing! Don't be rude to the elders!"
Hizashi stood behind the crowd and scolded.
As he walked forward, the branch family members retreated to both sides and made way for him.
It was completely different from the indifference he had just faced the main family.
"Members of the branch family should temporarily withdraw from the forbidden area, seal off the clan land, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Hizashi walked in front of everyone, looked at the branch family members and ordered: "Before the investigation is clear, no one is allowed to approach the forbidden area or leave the clan land."
"But..."
Hyuga Changqing wanted to say something.
But seeing Hizashi's slightly frowned brows, he could only helplessly lead the branch family members out of the forbidden area.
Hizashi turned his head and looked at Hiashi, saying in a tone of neither joy nor sadness: "I apologize to everyone on behalf of Changqing. He has always been reckless."
"But it is too unreasonable to doubt the branch family now."
And seeing the branch family members' conviction in Hizashi, the elders of the main family also realized Hizashi's current prestige in the branch family, and they couldn't help but have a little more fear in their eyes.
Two years ago, no branch family member dared to disobey the main family members like just now.
But since Hyuga Hinata, the daughter of the main family, scolded the elders of the main family at the clan meeting and even openly opposed the caged bird system, the entire Hyuga clan began to change.
"Hizashi, you..."
"Hizashi would not do such a thing."
The elder of the main family wanted to say something with an embarrassed look on his face, but was interrupted by Hiashi beside him.
Looking at his younger brother, Hiashi's expression was also complicated, but he still explained: "Although he has the motive and the ability, don't forget..."
"He is a branch family, and Hyuga Nagachi can use the caged bird seal."
After this, the three elders of the main family looked at each other for a while.
Although their faces were ugly, they were powerless to refute.
The branch family members who were planted with the caged bird seal, facing the main family members who can use the caged bird seal, have absolutely no ability to resist unless they launch a sneak attack.
As long as the main family members launch the caged bird seal, they can instantly subdue any branch family members.
But Nagachi has a 360° no-dead-angle white eye, and it is almost impossible to succeed in a sneak attack.
And from the traces at the scene, they also had a brief battle with the invaders.
After a long silence, Hiashi continued, "The invaders chose this time today on purpose. Is it possible..."
The elder of the main family changed his expression, "You mean, the people who invaded Konoha also targeted the Hyuga clan?"
They originally thought that the people who invaded the forbidden area happened to encounter the godsend opportunity of Konoha being invaded.
But after Hiashi's suggestion, are the people who invaded Konoha and the people who invaded the Hyuga forbidden area the same group of people?
This possibility is indeed not low!
Hiashi nodded and glanced at Hizashi.
Seeing that there was no fluctuation on his face, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Hizashi, what do you think?"
Hearing the temptation in his brother's tone, Hizashi said calmly, "The possibilities of the several situations you mentioned are not low, but you have missed one possibility."
"Perhaps there are members of the main family who are colluding with the people who invaded Konoha to try to obtain the secrets of the Hyuga clan."
"Even, there may be members of the main family who have joined them."
Are the main family members of the Hyuga clan accomplices with the people who invaded Konoha?
"This, this is impossible!"
An elder of the main family subconsciously denied it, but after thinking about it, he said uncertainly: "It should be impossible...right?"
Hiashi's idea is too bold.
Only members of the branch family dare to make such a bold guess.
"Whether it is or not, this possibility exists."
Hiashi finally glanced at Hiashi, and then looked up at the pale red moon.
In a very complicated tone, he ordered: "During this period, let the clan members be low-key when they are outside."
"I will work with Hiashi to conduct a strict investigation of both the main family and the branch family."
Recently, Konoha has been plagued by disasters and storms.
…………
And while Konoha was in chaos.
In a huge space bordering the ninja world, there are birds singing and flowers blooming, full of vitality, tranquility and peace.
Compared with the chaotic and complex ninja world, this place is like a paradise on earth.
-Myoboku Mountain, the inheritance place of ancient fairy arts, is known as the three holy places together with Ryuchi Cave and Wet Bone Forest.
But a loud shouting broke the tranquility of Myoboku Mountain.
"Boss Fukasaku, why did you call me here so late?"
I saw a tall man wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil", a red coat, and wooden clogs, walking among the many stone toad statues.
If you look closely, you can see a small green-skinned toad with white beard and eyebrows squatting on his shoulder.
But it gives people a temperament that seems to be integrated into nature.
This person and Ichiwa are none other than Jiraiya, who traveled to the ninja world, and Fukasaku Sage from Mt. Myouki.
I saw Jiraiya walking and yawning: "It's too late now. Why can't we wait until dawn?"
He is still collecting in Tang Country...
Oh no, I am looking for the child of destiny in the Kingdom of Tang!
However, the Child of Destiny was not found, but it was heard that a sect that believed in evil gods appeared in the Kingdom of Tang.
I was planning to take a good sleep to recuperate my energy and then go investigate again tomorrow.
As a result, he was lying on the bed and just about to fall asleep when Fukasaku Sennin used a counter-spiritual technique to take him to Mt. Myoboku.
"I'm sorry, little Jiraiya, but I need you to come over so late."
Fukasaku Sennin also seemed a little confused, but he still explained: "This is the order of the great master, and there is nothing I can do about it."
When he heard that it was the Great Toad Sage who was urgently calling him over, Jiraiya's original unserious expression instantly disappeared and became serious.
"The Great Toad Immortal is so anxious. Could it be that he has information about the prophecy's son?"
Over the years, the reason why Jiraiya did not stay in Konoha was to travel around the ninja world.
In addition to not wanting to be bound by the inexplicable things in the village, he also wanted to find the son of prophecy predicted by the Big Toad Immortal.
In the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, a person will appear in the ninja world in the future, who can bring about a huge change in the ninja world. It can be said that he is a key figure related to the fate of the entire ninja world.
And that person is the child of prophecy, and he will become Jiraiya's apprentice.
Jiraiya had seen the great toad sage's accurate prophecy ability many times, and he naturally believed in the son of prophecy he said.
It's just that over the years, he has been repeatedly frustrated in his search for the Son of Prophecy.
I once thought that Nagato, who had the Reincarnation Eye, would be the child of prophecy, but then I heard about Nagato's death.
Later, he thought that Minato would be the son of the prophecy, but Minato also died suddenly during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
Although Jiraiya's determination to find the Child of Prophecy has not changed, it would be even better if there is new information about the Child of Prophecy!
Only by finding the Son of Prophecy can the chaotic ninja world be transformed, and can we hope to bring peace to the ninja world!
Just looking at Jiraiya's expectant eyes, Fukasaku Sennin shook his head: "I don't know, I fell asleep again after the elder informed me to take you here."
The Great Toad Immortal is not only forgetful but also very lethargic, and it often happens that he sleeps for several years at a time.
But every time it wakes up from its sleep, it can more or less obtain some future information.
However, something seems different this time.
"Little Jiraiya..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Fukasaku Sennin looked at Jiraiya who had a question mark on his face, as if he wanted to say something.
But after hesitating for a moment, he finally shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just nothing important."
The elder didn't snore when he slept this time, but there was no need to tell little Jiraiya about this.
"It's really appetizing."
Seeing that Boss Fukasaku didn't want to say anything, Jiraiya finally just looked at it with helpless eyes.
Immediately he quickened his pace and soon arrived at the door of the hall dedicated to the Great Toad Immortal.
(Everyone can give a thumbs up to Menma’s character card, I really want Menma’s vest QAQ)
In the past few days, I have been accompanying him in the hospital. Listening to the coughs around me, I always feel that I am in danger. . .
It's really terrible.
