In the silent night, the screams of Kawashima Kamiya, the leader of the Kumogakure mission, were very abrupt, attracting the surrounding Hyuga branch ninjas responsible for guarding.
"Hizu-sama!"
When they saw Hinata Hinata holding the unconscious Hinata in her arms, with a ninja dressed in black lying in front of them, everyone immediately realized that someone had sneaked into the backyard under their protection and kidnapped Miss Hinata. , if the patriarch hadn't discovered it, their sin would have been great.
Everyone knelt down on one knee.
At this time, there was a loud noise not far away, followed by several beams of light. Three members of the Kumogakure Mission hurried over with flashlights, followed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. Two people.
Three Kumogakure ninjas came to Kawashima Kamiya, checked his breath and pulse, and suddenly screamed.
"Lord Kamiya!?"
"Kamiya-sama is dead! Who did it!?"
"You Hinata ninjas actually killed our Lord Kamiya of Kumogakure!"
"Thankfully, Lord Raikage sent us to deepen the alliance. Is this how Konoha treats its allies?"
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his pupils contracted slightly, and Danzo's eyes changed. The two couldn't help but look at each other.
"This matter may be a misunderstanding. Please calm down a little bit." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly, his brows furrowed.
"Misunderstanding?! Master Kamiya is already dead, can it be a misunderstanding? His heart was broken by the soft fist!" Kumogakure's ninja shouted angrily.
"It was clearly Kawashima Kamiya who wanted to kidnap Miss Hinata, so he was shot to death by the clan leader. It's because you Kumogakure people have dirty hands and feet!" The Jonin of the Hyuga Branch immediately retorted: "The banquet is over, Kawakawa How do you explain why Shima Kamiya appears at the back door of the patriarch’s mansion?!”
"nonsense!"
"Kamiya-sama is drunk and can't even stand on the road. How could he be able to kidnap you Hinata!?"
"Master Kamiya was just looking for a place to go to the toilet, but I didn't expect that you would kill him!"
"If Lord Kamiya hadn't been drunk, your Hinata's soft fists wouldn't have hurt him at all!"
The three Kumogakure ninjas began to confront the Hyuga tribesmen, showing no fear of the surrounding Konoha ninjas.
"What did you say?!"
"You actually underestimate the soft fist of our Hyuga clan!"
Hinata's ninjas were also angered by the arrogant attitude of the Kumogakure three.
"That's enough, be quiet!" Hinata Hiashi looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo who remained silent, and suddenly said.
All the other branch clan members were silent and just stared at Kumogakure's ninjas angrily.
"Konoha must give us a satisfactory explanation for this matter! Otherwise our Raikage-sama will definitely come back to retaliate against Konoha at all costs!" Kumogakure's ninja attitude is extremely tough.
"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen had a headache. Although it seemed that this matter was obviously caused by Kumogakure deliberately to cause trouble, the ninja Kawashima Kamiya they led this time was also Kumogakure's elite jounin. Nizu was killed in an instant. If the opponent was not drunk and his strength was greatly reduced, it would be unreasonable. In order to get a Byakugan, Kumogakure did not hesitate to go to this extent.
This matter can be big or small. If it is not handled well, it will become a diplomatic issue and war may even break out.
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a dilemma, an ANBU ninja wearing an animal mask appeared on the scene, knelt on one knee and said:
"The Third Generation, Danzo-sama, and the Fourth Generation's wife, Lu Ming, were attacked on their way home with Naruto and Karin. Lord Lu Ming was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Naruto and Karin were rescued by Kakashi and Uchiha Issei. Next, one of the two Kumogakure jounin who kidnapped them was killed by Kakashi, and the other was made insane by Uchiha Issei's genjutsu."
"What?! Lu Ming is injured! What about Naruto and Koso?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked shocked.
Uzumaki Lumei, as well as Naruto and Karin are not only relatives of the fourth generation, but more importantly, they are candidate vessels for the 'Pseudo Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki'. This is a matter of great importance and no accidents are allowed to occur.
Kumogakure's ninja dared to attack them, which had touched Sarutobi Hiruzen's bottom line.
"Lord Lu Ming has been sent to the hospital for treatment. Naruto and Karin were only in a brief coma and were not injured." Anbu ninja added.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became a little brighter. Naruto's talent was excellent and he was the best candidate for the Jinchuuriki. The fact that he was fine made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a little more relaxed.
"Order the medical team to treat Lu Ming with all their strength." Sarutobi Hiruzen then ordered. Uzumaki Lu Ming's chakra is extremely special. As long as the injured is not fatally injured, he can absorb her blood and chakra by biting her body. to treat injuries quickly.
However, this method will consume Uzumaki Lumei's vitality, so only a few people know about this matter, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also heard from Namifeng Minato.
As long as Uzumaki Luming can wake up, he can recover from his injuries by biting himself. Of course, the loss of vitality will be the same.
"I think the Kumogakure members should give me an explanation." Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and looked at the remaining three members of the Kumogakure delegation with a stern face.
It was Kumogakure's ninja who kidnapped Kushina, but he made a mistake and let Kushina know what he had done, which caused Kushina to separate from Konoha. Otherwise, Bai Yu and Kushina would not have left Konoha later. Ye left an indelible stain on his reign.
Now, even if Kumogakure moved Hinata, he still dared to attack Naruto and the others.
The three people in Kumogakure felt the powerful aura exuded by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and their hearts trembled. Although the old man in front of them was no longer the powerful Ninja hero in the past, he still still had some of the strength of the past. Facing the Third Hokage, one of the Five Kages in the world, they were still very stressed.
It's just that three jounin have been sacrificed in this mission, and the remaining three have long taken life and death lightly, so on the surface they have no intention of giving in.
"That's complete nonsense!"
"We are in Konoha. Even if we catch people, can we successfully leave Konoha with them?"
"This is your Konoha conspiracy! Deliberately killing our Kumogakure ninjas!"
Although the Third Hokage is scary, after all, their boss is the Third Raikage Ai, the strongest man among the Five Kages in the world, and the person who stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
If Iori Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina were still in Konoha, maybe Kumogakure would have another choice.
"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous arc flashed in his eyes. After glancing at the three people in Kumogakure, he said in a deep voice: "We need to discuss this matter before we can come to a result. "
With that said, Danzo looked at the ANBU ninjas on the side and ordered: "Take the three envoys of Kumogakure down to rest, and let Kakashi and Uchiha Issei come over."
"Yes!" The ANBU ninja bowed respectfully, and then came to the three Kumogakure ninjas.
Upon seeing this, the three Kumogakure ninjas knew not to push too hard, so they carried Kawashima Kamiya's body and followed the ANBU ninjas away.
After Kumogakure's people left, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Hizu, go in and talk."
"Yes, Lord Third." Hinata Hizu nodded, handed Hinata to the servant, and then ordered to the ninjas present: "Let's all disperse."
Hinata Hinata, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Shimura Danzo came to the room in the backyard of the mansion. After a while, several elders of the Hyuga clan came over after hearing the news.
"Rizu, what is going on?"
Several old men looked to be in their sixties or seventies, and they were the same generation as the previous clan leader. Their foreheads without any curse seal patterns showed their noble status as members of the clan.
"Elder of the clan, it's..." Hinata Hizu explained simply.
"The Third Generation, Danzo, this matter is obviously a trap deliberately set up by Kumogakure's ninjas in order to get the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Can't you see it?" The elder of the clan asked in a deep voice: "If the Third Raikage is allowed to get the Byakugan , don’t you still know how serious the consequences are?”
"There are indeed many doubts about this matter, but Kumogakure has indeed killed an elite jounin. It would be difficult to deal with it if they killed him in one bite."
Danzo said slowly, then winked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly hesitant when he saw this. As an old teammate, he instantly understood what Danzo meant, and he was preparing to use this matter to give the Hyuga clan a beating.
This is in Sarutobi Hiruzen's own interests. After all, the Hyuga clan is too popular and has had frequent contact with the Uchiha clan recently. Although he said that Uchiha Issei and Hyuga Hideto are personal friends, they cannot represent Uchiha. Bo and Hinata, but both of them are strong men in their respective clans, how could he not be afraid of them.
"Difficult?! People from Kumogakure kidnapped the eldest lady of our Hyuga clan. Haven't they thought about the consequences? This is a provocation to Hinata and Konoha!" the clan elder said angrily.
Several other clan elders tried to persuade him, but their general message was that it was impossible to compromise with Yunyin.
"Sandaime-sama, Danzo-sama. Bring Kakashi Hatake and Issei Uchiha."
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly solemn, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the backyard, and finally stopped on the porch. Anbu ninja brought Kakashi and Issei.
"come in."
Danzo said solemnly.
"Yes!" The ANBU ninja opened the wooden door, and Kakashi and Issei walked in together.
"Sandaime-sama, Danzo-sama." Kakashi and Issei bowed slightly towards the two of them.
"Sandaime-sama, Kumogakure's envoy said that if Hizu-sama is not handed over before dawn, they will leave. Kumogakure is already prepared for war with Konoha."
The ANBU ninja conveyed the conditions of Kumogakure's three envoys.
"It's too much! It's really unreasonable! They kidnapped the eldest lady of our clan, and they actually asked us to hand over Rizu! This is absolutely impossible!" The elder of the clan suddenly became furious, and several other clan members also showed murderous looks on their faces, and finally turned their gazes He turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"It should not lead to a war. I believe the problem can be solved through communication and negotiation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened. He hesitated for a long time and said nonsense.
The ANBU ninja then left to convey his message.
Danzo looked on with cold eyes and smiled secretly in his heart. This was something Hiruzen could say without acting.
This time I have to give the Hyuga clan a good beating, as well as the Uchiha clan.
Thinking of this, Danzo looked at Issei and Kakashi aside and said, "Please recount what happened tonight in detail, without leaving out any details."
"Yes." Kakashi nodded: "Ise-kun and I chatted for a while when we were leaving, and we met two people from Kumogakure at the exit of the alley. They were wearing black coats and carrying black Covered with cloth, it looks great.
After we shouted to stop, they ran away and attacked us when we caught up.
During the battle, I discovered that Naruto was unconscious in the arms of the Kumogakure ninja, so I shot him to death.
On the other side, Issei-kun subdued the enemy with illusions and saved Xianglan.
Later we found Mrs. Lu Ming who was seriously injured and unconscious in the alley. "
"Is that so?" Danzo turned to look at Issei. He was not sure about the close relationship between Kakashi and Uchiha Issei, and he had some doubts in his heart.
"Yes." Issei nodded and continued: "Actually, we don't need to worry. This matter itself is Kumogakure's conspiracy. They may want to do something about the division of interests in the alliance, so they planned this incident. , if successful, they will naturally gain huge gains.
Even if it fails, it can be used as a blackmail in an attempt to force Konoha to make concessions.
As for declaring war on Konoha, I think it is unlikely that they would do such a thing. "
As soon as Ise finished speaking, the elders of the Hyuga clan also expressed their agreement. In fact, this kind of thing is also obvious.
"Indeed."
"Ise is right."
Danzo's face darkened, and he said: "I didn't ask you your opinion on this matter. What do you think is the use? There is nothing that Kumogakure's group of reckless men can't do. What if they really start a war on Konoha! Can you Can you shoulder this responsibility? Or can you now represent Uchiha and Konoha!?"
"..." Everyone in the venue suddenly fell into silence. Danzo's words had already made his attitude clear, and the silence of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, also had an obvious meaning.
However, Issei did not give Danzo this face at all, and directly retorted: "Why should Konoha be afraid of Kumogakure?! The strength gap between Konoha and Kumogakure, even if we don't want to have the overwhelming advantage as before, we are still strong Dominate. In a real fight, how can Kumogakure alone defeat Konoha! We are afraid of war, aren't Kumogakure afraid? Even if I only represent myself, I am willing to be the first one on the battlefield! Instead of humiliating compromise, Died under conspiracy."
Issei's words caused a slight fluctuation in Kakashi's eyes, and his hands that naturally dropped down clenched tightly.
"If you were afraid of death, you wouldn't be an Uchiha!" At this time, another confident female voice came from outside the room.
Chiho, Shisui, and Fugaku walked in.
It was Chiho who spoke.
Although she dislikes Issei, due to the close relationship between Shisui and Issei, and Chiho needs someone to support her in wanting to become the clan leader, Chiho has been wooing Shisui recently, and has also crossed paths with Issei.
Of course, the most important thing is that this matter involves the Uchiha clan, even if it is not for personal gain, she will take action.
"Sandaime-sama, Danzo-sama." The three of them bowed slightly.
After a while, the ANBU ninja returned again, bringing new conditions to the Kumogakure ninja.
"Sandaime-sama, the Kumogakure envoys have packed up and are ready to go. They said that they must hand over either Hizu-sama or Kakashi and Issei. You must choose one of the two!"
