Chapter 33 Investigation
"It's so cruel to be like this. After hearing what Ruiyu said, 'Even if the people from the Hyuga branch who came this time survived the war, they won't be able to continue living after the war.' Kurenai showed a look of unbearability. A companion from a village did not die in the war, but actually died according to the so-called family rules.
"That's right, this kind of thing is too cruel. If I become Hokage in the future, I must change this broken rule." Asuma looked at Hong and showed an unbearable look, and hurriedly responded.
Asuma's words actually made Ryūha look surprised. What Ling Yu didn't expect was that the first person to say that becoming Hokage would change the fate of the Hyuga clan's division was not Naruto, but Asuma. Although Asma's words at the moment were more words of agreement.
Also, shouldn't the focus of these two people's attention be on how they might encounter enemy white-eyed ninjas in the next battle?
"The issue of the Hyuga clan's clan division is not something we can interfere with. What we should pay more attention to is the upcoming battle situation." Seeing that the topic was a little off topic, Haiichi had to interrupt the two of them.
"The members of the Hyuga clan clan are always under the protection of the branch clan. Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to kill and capture the clan's Byakugan." Ryūha continued.
"During the Warring States Period, the ancestors of our family also tried to seize the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan to study its secrets. However, such actions often ended in failure. When people of the Hyuga clan found that there was no way to escape, they would often destroy their own eyes to preserve the secrets of the Byakugan. "In the history of the family, there is only one record of successfully capturing the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan." Liu Yu revealed the secret of the Kusanagi Clan.
"What?" After hearing this, even Yamanaka Haiichi couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, this was not the first time that the Byakugan was taken away. The Kusanagi clan had also received the Byakugan from the Nichiline clan before.
Not many people in Konoha knew about the Hyuga clan's Byakugan being taken away. Apart from Orochimaru and the village's senior officials, only some members of the Hyuga clan knew about it. The reason why Liu Yu came here this time was because he wanted to try to use concealment to restrain the possible Byakugan.
"Of course, the successful mission to capture the Byakugan was a failure in a sense. Shortly after successfully capturing the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan counterattacked, and the Hyuga clan destroyed the eyes with huge casualties." Liuyu continued. said.
If it weren't for the fact that Ryūyu was the heir to the Kusaki clan, he probably wouldn't have learned about this secret of the Kuszen clan.
Hearing this, Yamanaka Haiichi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the Kusame and Hyuga clans had always been at odds during the Warring States Period, he did not expect that there were so many stories about the fight for the Byakugan between the two clans. But now that both clans are living in Konoha, there is no need to worry about the old feud between the two clans reappearing.
"The Byakugan level of the Hyuga Clan clan is difficult to obtain. The Byakugan was captured this time. Not only does it show that the enemy is extremely powerful, but it also means that we may encounter a Byakugan in the next war. The matter of losing the Byakugan is still a secret. , so I hope you won’t talk too much outside.” After hearing what Liu Yu had explained, Yamanaka Haiichi said.
"The Byakugan has extremely strong reconnaissance and assistance capabilities. It has a 360° viewing angle and can see the flow of chakra in the surrounding environment. It also has a telescopic eye that can see into distances and an insight eye that can see through objects. It can also see the opponent's meridians and nerves. and acupuncture points. Using chakra to multiply the ability of the eyes, the eyes can see things within a radius of one kilometer, and their insight exceeds the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is of great help in the war. It has always been a key target of the enemy during the war, and this capture is the first since the founding of Konoha." Yamanaka Haiichi originally wanted to say that this was the first case of Byakugan being captured in the history of the Hyuga clan. But thinking about what Riuha had just said, the Kusanagi clan briefly captured the Byakugan of the clan once during the Warring States Period, so it was changed to the first time since the founding of Konoha.
"In the past, Konoha ninjas relied on their Byakugan to gain the upper hand on the battlefield, but this time they faced Kirigakure ninjas, and this advantage no longer existed. In addition, due to the emergency situation on the northern front line, some personnel here were transferred to the northern Kusanagi. The current situation on the National Front is not optimistic." At this point, a trace of seriousness flashed in Haiyi's eyes.
The Tang no Kuni front is currently in a situation of Kirigakure attacking and Konoha defending. The situation here will not change in a short time until other battlefields are resolved, so the top priority now is to stabilize the situation.
"Next, we are going to the southwest area of Yuno Country, where there are several Kirigakure ninja gathering areas. Our mission is to detect the specific distribution of troops on the opposite side and help Lord Orochimaru stabilize the situation here." Yamanaka Haiyi finally talked about the ultimate goal of this mission.
It can be seen that the current Yamanaka Haiichi still respects Orochimaru. As a disciple of the current Sandaime Hokage, Orochimaru is known as the Sannin along with Tsunade and Jiraiya. The legend of the Sannin was written during the Second Ninja War, and it was still very attractive to children like Yamanaka Haiichi at that time.
Ryūha still remembers that when the Third Hokage showed his intention to abdicate, Danzo recommended Orochimaru to succeed the Fourth Hokage. But in the end, with the support of the third generation, Minato Namikaze succeeded him as the fourth generation Hokage. Although Orochimaru was regarded by the third generation as his most outstanding disciple, the third generation never relaxed his vigilance against Orochimaru.
Orochimaru has no thoughts of betraying Konoha yet. Judging from his cooperation with Danzo, he probably still has the pursuit of becoming Hokage. Orochimaru had performed so dazzlingly in the previous wars that he had already accumulated a lot of popularity for his successor as the fourth generation.
In the previous war, Orochimaru fought smoothly. Even though a lot of people were withdrawn, he still maintained the front line within the sphere of influence of Kirigakure. It was not until the situation on the northern front was urgent that the fighting force of Kirigakure was withdrawn again, which led to the current situation of Kirigakure attacking and Konoha defending.
Liu Yu even felt that this was the third generation suppressing Orochimaru. By weakening the power of Orochimaru's men, Orochimaru could not gain reputation through this war. Orochimaru's ambition has always made the third generation uneasy. He will not hand over the village to such a disciple who has not inherited the "will of fire".
"In addition to us, the remaining Hyuga clan members have also formed two groups. Our three groups will conduct reconnaissance in different areas, and I will analyze the intelligence in the end." Yamanaka Inoichi said. In addition to a hint of seriousness in his eyes, there is also a hint of excitement. After all, men are always eager to make achievements on the battlefield.
"Our team's investigation mainly relies on Liu Yu's seclusion, but we may also capture live people when necessary, and I will be responsible for interrogating them. Hong and Asuma will be responsible for cooperating with us." Haiyi began to make specific task assignments.
"Yes!" The three responded.
