Chapter 157 A strange combination of circumstances
Blood splattered everywhere and Hinata Hiashi fell to the ground in dejection, his body covered with wounds. The fatal injury was the severed trachea and artery in his neck.

"Phew... I got it done! What a fluke!"

The Cloud Ninja leader heaved a sigh of relief, secretly feeling fortunate that the Hyuga clan leader in front of him, although very powerful, had little combat experience, so he was easily killed by his trick.

The so-called scattered escape was a trap from the very beginning. You must know that the purpose of this group of people was not the Byakugan, but to use the Byakugan to provoke a war between the Iwagakure and Konoha.

If they flee separately, Hyuga Hiashi only needs to capture any ninja at random and he will find out that they are all just fake Iwagakure ninjas and are actually ninjas from the Kumogakure Village. Then the plan will completely collapse.

So when the Cloud Ninja leader shouted to retreat, what he actually meant was that everyone was ready to fight. At the same time, he also revealed the fact that the Byakugan had been taken away, which disturbed Hyuga Hiashi's state of mind. That's why they finally used the Thunder Phantom Lightning Pillar, which was developed by the Cloud Ninja Village specifically to deal with eye-jutsu ninjas, and they immediately controlled Hyuga Hiashi.

Although Hyuga Hiashi's current strength is not at the Kage level, he is definitely a first-rate ninja below the Kage level. If they were to engage in a head-on battle, even if this group of Cloud Ninjas are true elites, it is hard to say whether they could win when combined together.

Unfortunately, due to lack of combat experience, he was killed instantly in one move, which vividly illustrates the nature of the ninja's high attack, paper defense, and glass cannon.

"Let's go... take Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan with you, and destroy his brain to prevent the Konoha ninja from reading the information in his brain! Hurry up!"

The Cloud Ninja leader gave some orders. This place is not far from the Hyuga clan's territory. It is estimated that they will be discovered by those cataracts soon. If they don't pack up and run away now, when will they do so?
The subsequent retreat finally went smoothly. As soon as the Cloud Ninja leader returned to the hotel, he secretly placed the Byakugan in the ground under the Rock Ninja Building and even covered it up with a sealing technique.

This sealing technique can block the Byakugan and some perception ninjutsu - but it certainly can't block the dog nose.

The Cloud Ninja can use lightning to dissolve the sweat on their bodies to make the smell disappear, but the bloody smell on the Byakugan cannot be covered up, and ordinary dogs cannot smell it that deeply. However, the Cloud Ninja leader knows that there is an Inuzuka clan in Konoha, and the ninja dogs there are much stronger than ordinary dogs.

If you hide something too shallowly, people will easily suspect you of framing someone. But if you hide it too deeply, it would be funny if Konoha really can't find it. It's just right now.

The long night finally passed, and because of the active delegations from the two ninja villages, the whole Konoha was in chaos.

Let’s not talk about the Uchiha and those Iwagakure ninjas for now. As for the Hyuga clan, not to mention that Hyuga Natsu was knocked unconscious, the clan leader of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, was killed, and at the same time, his and her daughter’s Byakugan were also taken away. For the Hyuga clan, this was a shocking event!
You know, over the years, except for the time when the Byakugan were taken away from the Hyuga clan by the Mist Village, there has never been a case of the Byakugan being lost, let alone four of them being lost at once!
In addition, the clan leader was killed on the spot, and the Hyuga clan ninjas almost went crazy. They stared with bloodshot and almost red eyes, looking for people everywhere in the streets of Konoha. At first glance, you would think that these Hyuga bloodlines had mutated and become Uchiha!
Early in the morning, there were knocks on the door of the building of the Cloud Ninja Village in the foreign hotel. The Cloud Ninja leader opened the door and saw a group of Anbu wearing animal masks, looking at him with cold eyes.

"What, what are you doing? Is this how you treat guests in Konoha?"

No matter what happened last night, the Cloud Ninja leader now looks like he has no guilt at all. He even speaks loudly, as if he is right.

"These Cloud Ninja messengers, please come with us. We don't want to fight."

A voice that sounded unmotivated rang in the ears of this group of people, and three ninjas that were also very familiar to the Kumo Ninja walked out from behind the Anbu.

The handsome guy with dead fish eyes, white hair and a black mask, this unmotivated guy is none other than the new generation White Fang of Konoha - Hatake Kakashi.

He wore goggles on his head and had a slightly silly smile, but with three magatama in his eyes, he gave people a thrilling feeling - Uchiha Obito, the rookie of the Uchiha clan in the Third World War.

The last one looked exactly like the Hyuga clan leader they killed yesterday, except that he had a forehead protector on his head. He was the twin brother of that Hyuga clan leader - Hyuga Hizashi.

Seeing the arrival of three heavyweights, the Cloud Ninja leader frowned slightly. He always felt that these people were a bit aggressive, as if they had found some hard evidence and had identified them.

But that's impossible. I didn't leave any trace yesterday. The most important thing is that I don't have any White Eyes. Most people would never think that I and others would use such a strategic treasure as White Eyes to frame others!

Although he had some doubts in his heart, the Cloud Ninja Leader really didn't dare to confront him, mainly because the look in Hinata Hizashi's eyes was a bit scary.

The relationship between Hyuga Hizashi and his elder brother Hyuga Hiashi is very delicate. When they were young, they were truly friendly and respectful to each other. However, as they got married and had children, Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but become estranged from Hyuga Hiashi when he thought that his son would also become a member of the Hyuga branch family and be labeled a bird in a cage.

But no matter what, as the old saying goes, when a man dies, all matters are over. After his brother really died, Hyuga Hizashi's mind was left with only the good things about his brother. Therefore, he was almost the most indignant person in the entire Konoha, and the one who wanted to catch the murderer the most.

If the Cloud Ninja really dares to shirk responsibility at this time, Hyuga Hizashi might really kill someone!

"Okay, okay! Then I'll go with you and see what kind of explanation the Konohagakure will give us then!"

After saying the most cowardly words in the harshest tone, the Cloud Ninja leader walked out with his little brothers behind him, holding his head high.

The surrounding Anbu surrounded them half-way with a swish. Hyuga Hizashi, Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi, who were standing in the front, formed a triangle around the Cloud Ninja leader.

"Not good, absolutely not good! Why are these Konoha ninjas so wary of us? Did they really find some clues?"

The leader of the delegation appeared confident on the surface, but in fact his heart was already beating fast. He racked his brains to see if he had forgotten something.

It wasn't until he walked into the Hokage's office that he breathed a sigh of relief!

A group of Iwagakure ninjas were standing in the office with injuries all over their bodies, wearing shackles and looking dispirited. At this moment in the office, Tsunade was holding her chin with both hands, with a stern expression on her face.

On the desk in front of Tsunade, there were two test tubes, each containing two Byakugan, and around the Iwagakure was a circle of Uchiha ninjas.

"It seems that we are not the ones with the problem. It's just that Konoha is a little too tough. The Iwagakure ninjas are in a much worse situation than us. They must be regarded as the number one suspect!"

Just as the Cloud Ninjas secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the Fifth Hokage also looked at the group of Cloud Ninjas:

"We have finished talking about the Iwagakure ninjas. Now it's your turn, the Kumogakure ninjas... Tell me, you were an envoy who came to sign a peace agreement, so why did you break into the Hyuga clan's territory in the middle of the night? Not only did you attack the Hyuga clan's ninjas, taking away two pairs of Byakugan, you even killed the Hyuga clan's chief!" The Kumogakure ninja leader's heart trembled, but his face showed a look of confusion and anger:

"Stop kidding! Is this your property management's attitude towards our diplomatic mission? You are blaming us without any evidence!"

"We stayed in the hotel the whole night last night and didn't go out at all! Why did you roll your eyes? Are you just blaming us?"

Tsunade shook her head, picked up two test tubes from the table, and said calmly:
"These are the Byakugan we found in the guesthouse where we stayed in the Iwagakure..."

"What does this have to do with us?!"

"Please don't interrupt me, the real point is now..."

The Cloud Ninja leader had an angry expression on his face, but when he saw Tsunade's calm and unhurried attitude, his heart sank deeply.

"Just last night, the envoys from the Iwagakure attacked Uchiha Itachi, the son of the Uchiha clan leader. They were eventually stopped by Uchiha Shisui of the Uchiha clan. Except for the Iwagakure who were killed, all the remaining Iwagakure were captured by the Uchiha Guard that night. They are the people you see now."

"Ninja of the Cloud Ninja, please tell me, how was it possible for this group of Rock Ninja to attack the Uchiha clan while also splitting themselves into the Hyuga clan and killing Hyuga Hiashi?"

Gan!
After Tsunade finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the Cloud Ninjas became very interesting. They really didn't expect that their perfect plan would end up with such a result?!

"And we have interrogated some Iwagakure ninjas and obtained information directly from their brains. Do you know what their specific plans are?"

Specific plan?! As if a bolt of lightning had struck the head of the delegation, he laughed dryly and looked towards the leader of the Rock Ninja, Huo Guang, only to see Huo Guang looking back at him with the same wry smile full of irony and self-mockery.

"It seems that you have already thought of it. Yes, their plan is very simple, which is to seize the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and use it to frame your Kumogakure... I have to say, if I hadn't dug this plan out of their heads, I really wouldn't have thought so quickly that it was you who did the Hyuga clan's thing."

As Tsunade spoke, the ninjas from both the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure all had very interesting expressions on their faces, anger, regret, self-mockery, and bitterness, it was really like they had opened a dyeing factory.

"Damn you, Cloud Ninja, what else do you have to say?"

Hinata Hizashi was the first to stand up, gritting his teeth. He looked at the Cloud Ninja leader with hatred. The Cloud Ninja leader smiled bitterly:
"Okay, I have nothing to say... Such a hell of a thing could happen! What the hell can I say!"

When it came to the end, the Cloud Ninja leader still looked at the Rock Ninja with indignation. It was because of this bunch of losers that his plan failed!

Of course, he did not consider that if the Iwagakure's plan succeeded, his side would also be blamed. It can be said that these two ninja villages, each with their own ulterior motives, wanted to go together, and the final result was that both sides would suffer.

Hinata Hizashi clenched his fists and looked at the Cloud Ninja in front of him, as if he was thinking about where to start. However, under Tsunade's gaze, he finally did not take action directly.

"Alright... I'll return this eye to your Hyuga clan! As for the two delegations, leave them to the Anbu to handle, and let the Yamanaka clan search for all the information in their brains!"

Tsunade waved her hand and spoke nonchalantly. In her eyes, these were just trivial matters.

The Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas had no idea what they were facing. To put it bluntly, as long as Uchiha Feiyu wanted to, he could just give an order to any of the three major ninja villages and crush the Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas to the ground.

Glancing at the bitter and resentful Hyuga Hizashi, Tsunade spoke again to comfort him:
"When I have squeezed all the value out of these ninjas, I will send them to the Hyuga clan for disposal."

After hearing what Tsunade said, Hinata Hizashi's expression improved a lot and he respectfully thanked Tsunade twice.

The ninjas from the two ninja villages were taken away, and the other Konoha ninjas also left. Tsunade then stretched and let out a long sigh.

"Iwagakure and Kumogakure...these two ninja villages are really full of little tricks,"

"Leave it to me. I can definitely teach them a lesson and make them behave themselves, which is also a good thing."

A pair of hands reached into the collar and grasped a pair of headlights. Uchiha Feiyu spoke to Tsunade in a whisper.

"Oh... I see... Then... to what extent are you going to warn them?"

Tsunade's face flushed as she adjusted her collar to make it easier for Uchiha Feiyu to move, and she asked.

"Just kill Ohnoki and Killer Bee. Anyway, the universal chakra policy of those two countries has been implemented. Even if the leaders of the two ninja villages die, nothing will change."

"But wait for me to make a plan first... If we want to kill these two guys, at least one or two thousand ninjas will be buried with them. With so many leeks, we have to find a better way to harvest them."

Uchiha Feiyu knew very well that even if he had the Hunyuan Treasure Box, his method of harvesting was still too primitive. At least after so many years, the number of his sacrificial black energy had never exceeded ten thousand.

It is much more difficult to capture a living ninja and make it into medicine than to kill the ninja directly. The ninjas in this world are all fragile. They are not the thick-skinned pirates next door. They will only be left with some scars if they are blown up by a bomb, and they can swim for an hour if they fall into a frying pan.

Even Hashirama Senju could kill himself with a small kunai, not to mention ordinary ninjas. In this case, even if they intended to hold back, the number of ninjas killed was two or three times more than the number of ninjas captured alive.

This is just the result of these ninjas hunting everywhere. If a ninja war breaks out, there will probably be no chance of capturing the other side alive.
