Chapter 114 Blind with open eyes
Chapter 114 Blind with open eyes
Just like in a police film, support would arrive only after the battle was over. Less than ten minutes after the battle ended, a dense crowd of people gathered in the forest.
The first to arrive were three teams of Hyuga clan guards. When they learned that the clan leader was surrounded and killed outside the clan territory, they were furious and glared with anger. Only under Hyuga Feng's command did they calm down and stand behind him.
Not long after, a large group of Anbu people arrived with the Hokage's order, "protected" the Hyuga clan and the scene, and began to "investigate" the scene directly!
The ANBU ninjas who were investigating seemed to be blind. They scraped off all the insect corpses on the ground while moving, and bypassed the corpses of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Aburame family members. They found a few intact corpses and began to examine them.
Then the elites of the clan including Aburame, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Nara, Kazematsuri and other clan heads arrived.
Even Yuhi Kurenai and Anko came, blending into the crowd and looking at Hinata Feng with worried eyes.
Seeing the remnants of the battle not far away and so many pairs of rolling eyes from the Hyuga family, these clan leaders felt very uncomfortable, as if they were naked and being watched by others.
The patriarchs of each family did not speak in a hurry, but stood in several groups, gestured to each other, and communicated about the situation in a low voice.
"You must be the new Hyuga clan leader, nice to meet you."
Hinata Feng and the others stood silently in the center for a long time, and finally someone spoke to them.
The one who spoke was Inuzuka Tsumugi, the head of the Inuzuka clan. His clan still maintained the directness of the beasts in many aspects, so they were relatively less considerate. Seeing someone take the lead, the other clan heads also exchanged pleasantries with Hinata Kaze.
This was also an opportunity to observe the suddenly ascended Hyuga clan leader. Although information about Hyuga Feng had long been on their desks, they had yet to meet him face to face. This young man had been so hidden, and his rise to power so swift, that the various clans hadn't had time to establish even basic connections with him.
Konoha also pays attention to hierarchy and circles. The Hyuga family is undoubtedly the leading large family, and they inevitably need to contact each other for the development of their family.
A few minutes later, just as the atmosphere on the scene began to tense, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo finally appeared with a large group of people.
"Lord Hokage"
Members of various families present came forward to greet them. No matter what they were hiding in their thoughts, they appeared to be very enthusiastic.
Only the Hyuga clan were left standing by motionless. Sarutobi Hiruzen acted as if he didn't see Hyuga Feng and the others, and smiled as he talked to the other clan members one by one.
"What on earth are you, the Hyuga clan, doing?!
This kind of thing happened not far from the clan’s territory, and so many people didn’t discover it in advance. It’s a shame that you claim to be experts in reconnaissance!
Do you care about the safety of the village? "
While Sarutobi Hiruzen was chatting and laughing with other families, Danzo rushed directly in front of Hinata Feng and started to attack with his iron fist.
Even with Hinata Feng's experience, he felt that this punching force, regardless of the facts, was powerful enough to be T0.
Danzo's words shocked the Hyuga clan members who had not experienced the baptism of the version. They were so angry that their faces turned red and their eyes widened, and they were speechless.
However, Danzo also felt that he was very angry, and his single eye was actually spitting flames.
After the Uchiha Clan's massacre, the Root's numbers increased significantly, but their quality declined. The newly recruited ninjas had not undergone a rigorous training and selection process, making them difficult to use.
Today, the Root dispatched all its original combat forces, a total of 44 elites, among whom Aburame Ryoma and Yamanaka Fuu were both elite jonin.
Such a powerful force was wiped out in one battle, almost using up all his resources. How could Danzo not be angry?
Hinata Feng was also disgusted by Danzo. He glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others who were still having a pleasant conversation, and retorted with a sneer.
"Elder Danzo is saying that the Hyuga clan leader's siege in the village was entirely his own fault.
Having said that, I would like to ask, who are these people!
If they dare to surround and kill the Hyuga family patriarch in the village today, next time they will directly rush into the Hokage Building to take off the Hokage's head and directly destroy Konoha!
After the original guard department was destroyed, it was you elders who took over the village defense and re-established the guard department!"
"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you even care about hierarchy?"
Danzo once again ignored the facts and struck out hard. This time, Hinata Feng sensed that the patriarchs of other families nearby were all frowning.
"Since when can't Konoha Village even tell the truth?
Besides, the patriarchs of all Konoha families have the right to participate in village affairs and make suggestions.
But in your mouth, they have all become lowly people. Isn't it right for the whole village to treat you as the Hokage? "
Hinata Feng asked as he took one step at a time, and together with the Hyuga clan members behind him, he approached Danzo. The momentum of unity and fighting to the end made Danzo and the Root Ninja behind him alert.
"Feng, you are not hurt, are you?"
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have suddenly grown eyes and ears. He walked quickly over and stopped in front of Danzo, asking Hinata Feng with a kind and gentle face.
However, in his words, he always treated Hinata Feng as a young junior rather than the head of the clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also had complicated feelings about Hinata Kaze. He could feel that this young man was definitely not the harmless and gentle type he had appeared to be before.
Just looking at how loyal he was to the clan on the surface, and how he was determined to retaliate when he became strong enough, you can tell that he is an unstable factor.
Compared to Hinata Hiashi's law-abiding character, Hinata Feng will definitely bring huge trouble to him and the village.
"Thank you, Hokage, for your concern for the Hyuga Clan. I am merely the head of the Hyuga Clan. We are facing an assassination attempt by dozens of people in our village, and you are actually bothering to lead so many of your subordinates to investigate. This is unacceptable."
Hinata Feng used all his strength as a Yin-Yang Master, emphasizing key words such as "just", "clan leader", "at one time", and "dozens of people". Coupled with his grateful expression and the expressionless Hyuga clan members behind him, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the people from other families were gritting their teeth.
"We are all members of the village. If something like this happens in the village, as the Hokage, I must investigate it thoroughly.
Don't worry, Feng. The Anbu are all experts in investigation and intelligence gathering, and they will definitely give you a clear result."
The experts' investigation was very quick. Before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, they had reached a conclusion and came to report.
"Hokage-sama, we have just carefully examined the bodies of these people. Their skin is a little dark, and there are traces of lightning forging on their bodies. They should be spies from the Cloud Village."
This extremely fast and accurate reconnaissance result left the Hyuga clan and other clans present speechless. They all looked at the Anbu and Sarutobi Hiruzen with strange eyes.
