"White eye pupil technique..."

What was placed in front of Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was a detailed and complete battle intelligence.

Information about the combat capabilities of the S-class defected ninja Hyuga Ayane was delivered here from the front line one by one through ANBU personnel.

It cannot be said that this operation gained nothing, but Konoha paid for the precious lives of twelve root ninjas in exchange for information on the enemy's strength that may change in the future. For now, it is not special.

worth.

The support tactics with Flying Thunder God as the core were also exposed in this operation. The enemy will be wary of it later, and even use corresponding ninjutsu to target and crack it. The next time you want to encounter such a good opportunity, you can only rely on luck.

.

And the most important thing is, this is just one person.

Thinking that there were two other people, and using these three people as an imaginary enemy, Hiruzen simulated it in his mind. I am afraid that the so-called intelligence may not be of much use.

"Next, how do you plan to deal with the aftermath of this incident, Hiruzen?"

Standing in front of Hiruzen's desk were two consultants, Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu. They stared at Hiruzen, as if they had something to say.

"Duanzo took away half of the total manpower of the Roots for this operation. However, only a few of the Roots personnel who were brought there survived by chance. The personnel must be replenished as soon as possible."

During the war, the role of Danzo's roots cannot be ignored. Whether it is harassing or spying on enemy intelligence, it can bring tangible benefits to Konoha.

Otherwise, his ANBU personnel alone would not be able to take care of all aspects of the battlefield.

During the war, ANBU was responsible for the internal affairs, while the ANBU was responsible for the external affairs. This was also a tacit understanding cultivated among their senior leaders over the years.

Now the roots have suffered heavy losses, and the leader Danzo has been seriously injured. Even if he recovers, his strength is not as good as before, which is a headache for Hiruzen.

"But there are not many outstanding ninjas left in the village now, and most of them are quite critical of the existence of the root. I am afraid that we will not be able to replenish the manpower of the root in a short time."

After going to bed, Xiaochun answered the question about the current internal situation of the village.

"There's no need to worry about this. Danzo only took away half of the root's strength this time, and half of the manpower remains in the village. It can barely keep functioning in a short time."

Mito Menyan opened his mouth at this moment.

"Okay. Danzo is unconscious at the moment, and the leader of the root is temporarily managed by Jounin Aburame Ryoma. I will get in touch with him as soon as possible."

Ryoma Aburame is an outstanding jounin of the Aburame clan, with outstanding military exploits. During the Second Ninja War, he entered the root and became Danzo's right-hand man.

Now that Danzo has lost the ability to command, the foundation cannot let it be decadent. A temporary leader is needed to stabilize the situation.

Aburame Ryoma was recognized by Hiruzen as Konoha's outstanding jounin in terms of strength, commanding ability, and more importantly, loyalty.

"So, regarding the issue of the Hyuga clan's white eyes... what do you think, Hiruzen?"

Mitomon Yan looked at Hiruzen and asked.

Hiruzen remained silent.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan Technique is a type I have never seen before. So far, it is fundamentally different from the Hyuga clan's traditional Byakugan ability and the soft fist."

As advisers, they naturally also know the battle information.

"The Suppression Eye Technique can release mental shock silently. Even a Jonin may be killed instantly if he is not careful. What is even more frightening is that it also has the Soft Fist that can cover all directions and make people unable to escape.

The technique... Even if you can't witness it with your own eyes, you can still imagine the desperate situation Danzo faced at that time."

When Mito Menyan said this, he took a breath and showed a cautious look in his eyes.

"Do you think the Hyuga clan is deliberately hiding their clumsiness? It's impossible. The Hyuga clan has been rooted in Konoha for decades. If they were deliberately hiding their clumsiness, it would be impossible for Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei at the time not to notice it."

Hiruzen replied that he did not think that the Hyuga clan deliberately concealed some extremely important information from the village.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for his teacher, the former Hokage Senju Tobirama, not to leave a few words to warn them of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

"The function of the Byakugan on the battlefield is very important, but it is only functional. If a terrifying alien like Hinata Ayane is born in this clan... it will destroy the balance within the village."

For the Bloodline Ninja Clan, a powerful Uchiha is enough to give them a headache. If the Hyuga clan suffers from such instability again, they will have to change their strategy towards Hyuga.

Now is an extremely critical period of war, and Konoha cannot withstand such turmoil.

And as consultants, they are not worried for nothing.

Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan Technique and the soft fist skills she demonstrated have surpassed their common sense about the Hyuga clan.

"I don't agree with this."

"Hiruzhan, we have to ask about this matter. Does the Byakugan of the blood successor's limited pupil technique still have abilities that we don't know about? This is very important to us. I suspect that Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan has undergone some kind of transformation.

Beyond the limits of normal Hyuga ninjas. Just like..." At this point, Mito Kadoyan paused, looked directly at Hiruzen seriously and said: "The difference between the Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan."

When Hiruzen heard these words, hesitation immediately appeared on his face.

"There is nothing to hesitate about. Whether it is accidental or whether there is a clear mutation and evolution route, we have to ask the Riku clan for verification. If this mutation is the only nature, it is easy to say, but if other Byakugan can also undergo mutation and evolution... Now it is like this

I did it just in case.”

The Byakugan and the Sharingan are both blood-restricted pupil techniques.

The Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan, so it seems reasonable that the Byakugan can also evolve and mutate.

Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it didn't happen. If the Hyuga clan does something secretly because of Hyuga Ayane's incident, it will have some bad effects on the balance of the village.

"I'll think about it for a while."

At this time, Hiruzen did not want to lose the trust of the Hyuga clan.

If we conduct an investigation into the Hyuga clan at this time, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary conflicts with him, the Hokage.

The possibility that the Byakugan must have mutated is just some speculation without actual evidence.

If we could study Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan, we could get accurate data, but based on this speculation, we need to investigate the Hyuga clan, which Hiruzen felt quite repulsed by.

Even so, Hiruzen was also inclined to the idea of ​​sleeping with two close friends, Koharu and Mito Kaden.

The Byakugan, like the Sharingan, possesses some unknown mutant and evolutionary abilities.

However, as the Hokage, he could not just rely on inferences and destroy the strong friendship between Hinata and the village.

"This opportunity is not to be missed."

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. In short, I need to reassure Hinata first and don't force them. This is different from the Uchiha problem. I'll think about it again and I will definitely come up with a solution later."

Hiruzen felt a headache as he picked up the cigarette rod on the table, took a long puff, and blew out the smoke.

Seeing Hiruzen like this, Koharu and Mito Monobu knew that they would not be able to find a breakthrough from Hiruzen for the time being.

After returning, Koharu went to bed and said, "I always feel that Hiruzen and Danzo said the same thing. His attitude towards handling things recently has become more hesitant than before."

"Yes, I have hesitated before, but I will not delay us like this. And the matter of the Hyuga clan cannot be delayed. If the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan really has the possibility of mutation and evolution, what kind of changes will it cause to the future of the village?

, it’s hard to predict.”

The power of the Blood Successor Limited Ninja clan is too terrifying.

The reason why the Hyuga clan is so valued and trusted by the top management is because the Byakugan's strategic significance and combat effectiveness are inferior to those of the Uchiha clan.

But if the Byakugan also has the same problem as the Sharingan and undergoes a deeper transformation, it is inevitable that he will not become the second Uchiha of Konoha.

By that time, Byakugan will not only have a strategic significance.

"It's a pity that Tobirama-sensei didn't leave much information about Byakugan."

"It's not too late to know now. Hiruzen can't use it as a breakthrough, so we can only rely on ourselves."

"You're thinking……"

When Koharu went to bed, he looked at Mito Kabuto in surprise.

"Danzo is not here, and Hiruzen may not listen to our words. We are also considering the future of the village, and Hiruzen will understand our good intentions. The problem with the Hyuga clan can only be solved by being frank and honest immediately.

"

Mito Kaden looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Hyuga clan's territory.

◎

"Two advisors, here are the ancient classics passed down by our Hyuga clan."

In the huge library of the Hyuga clan, an elder of the clan led the way, leading Koharu and Mito Monoto to the deepest corner of the library, where there are important collections left by the ancestors of the Hyuga clan.

Now, with the permission of the clan elders, special access has been made to senior consultants.

"Please forgive me, we have no choice but to do so."

Unexpectedly, I got the permission from the Hyuga clan so smoothly and came to the Hyuga clan's library to read the materials here.

The two of them were followed by several jounin, who were close associates who came to assist the two of them in processing intelligence.

After all, there is so much information that it would take just two people to process it.

"You're welcome, this is also caused by our family's poor handling. It is a matter of course to eliminate Hokage-sama's concerns. We have already learned about the frontline matters through Hizashi's reply, and we can understand the concerns of the two consultants. Regardless of

Whenever possible, we Hinata will unconditionally support Hokage-sama’s decision.”

The clan elder said.

After a short while, he walked out, leaving Koharu, Mito Monobu and a group of cronies to stay here, while he walked out alone.

Outside the library, there are several clan elders waiting here.
