Lakeshore in the Valley of the End.
The ANBU affiliated with the Hokage sealed this place heavily.
With the combined efforts of a group of ninjas, the embankment that was about to collapse was finally stabilized, preventing the lake from flooding the entire village and causing a disaster.
Sandai, who had stabilized the situation, still had dark clouds on his face.
He wouldn't be like this if it was just an ordinary earthquake, but this earthquake was caused by man.
This matter concerned the village, and he, the Hokage, could never take it lightly.
Soon, the ANBU responsible for the investigation appeared in front of the third generation and reported the information obtained.
Intelligence proved that this was just a simple earthquake, and there were no traces of human intervention.
The same was true for the information sent by the Hyuga clan, but Sandai's frown did not relax because of this. His intuition told him that this was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Fortunately, the disaster was stopped in time and there were no casualties.
After several investigations to no avail, Sandai led the ANBU back to the village, but the doubts in his heart were not alleviated.
Just when the Third Generation left, the roots of Danzo's command did not leave.
Wrapped in bandages and transplanted with Hashirama's cells, he had a vague feeling that there were other secrets hidden at the bottom of the lake. The matter was by no means as simple as a small earthquake.
"Enter the crack at the bottom of the lake and check it carefully!"
Danzo gave the order, and the root ninja immediately dived to the bottom of the lake.
Staring at the splash of water, Danzo felt the vague connection, which was brought about by Hashirama's cells. Having grown up following the deeds of the first generation, he would never let go of matters related to the first generation's mission.
Not long after, the returning Root Ninja reported that there was a huge underground space under the lake bottom.
After listening to the report, Danzo remained expressionless. After ensuring safety, he led the root ninjas into the underground.
Due to the erosion of the water, all traces of the previous battles have disappeared.
Following the faint perception, Danzo came to the vicinity of the leyline node and stared at the darkness in front of him.
"Danzo-sama, there is a lot of miasma ahead, which is harmful to the body. We cannot continue to move forward."
Danzo ignored the advice of his subordinates and walked towards the leyline node. After transplanting Hashirama's cells, he did not feel any discomfort, and even the cells in his body were cheering for joy.
There is someone ahead who can buff Hashirama's cells, and you must succeed.
With this thought in mind, Danzo continued to move forward, and when he reached the Leyline Node area, he realized that the previous feeling was gone.
"What on earth is that?" Danzo's expression was uncertain.
He finally found something good, but he still came a step too late and didn't even figure out what it was?
The lake was still flowing. Looking at the gradually rising water level, Danzo finally gave up the idea of continuing to investigate. He could not guarantee his survival in the collapsed cave.
Outside the village, following Kakashi's footsteps, Hinata Zang returned towards the village.
Looking at the large number of ninjas appearing along the way, Hinata was secretly afraid. If he came out later, he might be exposed. It seems that if he conducts similar experiments in the future, he must stay away from the village.
On the way, Hyugazo and Yin also met Hinata and Uchiha clan members.
After returning to the village, the ANBU team also accepted the interrogation of the third generation. Seeing that even the most elite ANBU team under his command found nothing, the third generation finally gave up the idea of continuing the investigation.
After asking, the third generation did not let the ANBU team leave, but stared at the four people in the team in front of him.
These four people are almost all Anbu who he trained with his own hands, but the previous incident made him feel a slight sense of alienation.
Except for Yamato, the other three have reached the age of adulthood and can no longer be treated as children.
Perhaps they should cancel their ANBU status and go to more suitable positions.
Kakashi can stay in ANBU as the captain and train new ANBU members, and Yamato can serve as a member of the Shadow Guard.
As for Hyugazo and Uchibo, the family members stood behind them.
The third generation is a little unsure and doesn't know how to train them.
After pondering for a moment, the third generation announced in person that they would be relieved of their ANBU positions, take off their masks and become jounin under the sun, without being directly under the jurisdiction of the Hokage.
After receiving this news, Hinata Zang was secretly happy, finally getting rid of the tedious work of ANBU.
But he knew the reason for dismissing the ANBU position. Yin was no longer trusted by the third generation, and so was he. When cracks appeared in their hearts, the estrangement would only become more serious.
Especially after Shisui exposed the Mangekyō Sharingan, the village's senior officials would definitely wonder whether Uchiha was hiding other Mangekyō and the truth behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
After leaving the Hokage's office, bathing in the afternoon sunshine, Hinata Zou and Yin returned to their small courtyard.
After carefully checking that there were no ANBU following, Necai lay on the sofa, looked at Hinata Zou and said: "I didn't expect that the movement caused this time was so big. We sealed the earth line with great fanfare, but you didn't prepare the corresponding container.
It's better now, I can notice that the leyline node has moved its position."
Hinata smiled and said: "My goal is not the earth vein, but the dragon vein. Don't you lack chakra? It just makes you a dragon vein jinchūriki!"
"Ryuumai Jinchuuriki? What is that?" Uchibo asked in confusion as his legs swayed.
Looking at Oto's dangling calves, Hyugazo replied calmly: "That is a huge power sealed by the Fourth Generation. It is similar to earth veins, but it has an entity. This seal is to prepare for that time."
"It turns out it was prepared for me."
Uchibo arched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then, Mr. Zang, how should I repay you?"
"Let's wait until we become a Ryūjinchuuriki."
Hyugazo grabbed the blanket, threw it towards Uchibo, and covered the latter's body. After awakening the kaleidoscope, the sound became whiter and whiter. Could it be that this was also the influence of the kaleidoscope.
"Then I'll wait until then..." Yin rolled his eyes and said, "Also, when Yamato said that our relationship was good, you didn't seem to refute it. Did you finally admit it?"
After a pause, Yin said with a scrutinizing gaze: "You finally admitted that you like me."
"I didn't admit it..." Hinata shook his head and said, "However, since you came to my house again and again, the relationship between us has become unclear."
"Can I take this as a confession?" Yin came over and said shyly.
At such a close distance, Hyugazo could even hear the breathing of the girl in front of him. His breathing began to become a little rapid, but he finally calmed down and pushed Uchibo away.
"Let's discuss the matter of dragon veins first."
It was impossible for him to give up the girl he was about to cultivate with his own hands, but now was not the right time.
Whether it is dealing with the future situation of the ninja world or the identities of Hinata and Uchiha.
They are all blocking the two of them, but it's good to stay together like this.
