However, judging from his expression, Danzo does not seem to have any joy at being a winner.
After all the people on the opposite side left, Danzo's old face darkened almost instantly, and he was no longer as calm and calm as he had been during the argument.
Just because what happened today is equivalent to completely pushing the Hyuga clan to the opposite side of their hawks.
"Hinata Tamaki...what's going on with that guy? Haven't you contacted him yet?"
Turning his head to the side and looking at the root ninja on his left, Danzo glared sharply, jerked his cane, and a few veins appeared on the back of his hand.
There was a thud, the sound of the tip of the crutch colliding with the floor, which seemed to make the root ninja who was being stared at by Danzo tremble subconsciously, and his heart also seemed to tremble.
"Sir Danzo, several carrier pigeons have been sent out for communication, but none of them have come back yet. After all, the time is too short..."
As he spoke, perhaps noticing that Danzo's face was getting uglier, Gennin's voice unconsciously became lower and lower, and in the end, he subconsciously closed his mouth.
The venue was quiet for a while.
Looking back at the Gen-nin, Danzo did not embarrass his subordinates. He just rubbed his chin and paced back and forth with a hint of thought in his expression.
'It seems that Hinata Huan's purpose is indeed the clan's supercilious look. This can now be confirmed.'
'But what's the use of his white eyes when he plots against the clan? Does it bring him strength?'
'etc……'
'I remember... Teacher Tobirama once said that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can increase its strength through mental stimulation, and even reach a state... which seems to be called Mangekyou."
'Could it be said that Byakugan... also has a way to increase strength?'
Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes flickered slightly, and his face became quite uncertain:
Obviously, Hyuga Tamaki has mastered some kind of secret related to the Byakugan. If he contacts the other party, he has a strength that is far beyond that of the Hyuga clan leader...
This secret must be no small matter.
'More than a year ago, the Hyuga family's rebellion, the first contact with Hyuga Tamaki, the Zong family, eye-catching, transplant surgery, and the caged bird...'
Various keywords flashed through his mind, and then they seemed to be connected by Danzo in an instant, allowing him to vaguely grasp something important.
'By continuously transplanting the Byakugan of the clan to improve pupil power, and then master some unusual abilities...?'
After he figured it out, Danzo couldn't help but start to re-examine the Hyuga clan and the Byakugan, a blood successor who seemed to have low combat value.
Judging from the high-profile murderous and eye-catching operation carried out by Hinata Tamaki this time, Danzo judged that the opponent had completely solved the problem of the caged bird and was no longer afraid of a large number of clan members attacking him with a curse seal.
As for the reason why Hinata Tamaki was able to do this, Danzo felt that it was probably due to the opponent's Byakugan, and some unknown ability awakened by him was at work.
In other words, it is very likely that the ninjas of the Hyuga branch can counteract the Caged Bird Curse Seal by evolving their own Byakugan.
Thinking of this, Danzo thought he had learned the "truth", so he paused and stopped pacing back and forth.
"Jiazi."
Upon hearing Danzo's call, Lei Luo's old subordinate, a root ninja named Jiazi, immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, "Duanzo-sama."
"How many undercover agents have we placed in the Hyuga clan?"
Without any hesitation, Jiazi accurately reported the number: "A total of seven people."
"Are there already seven? It seems that we have developed very quickly in the past two years..."
Danzo couldn't help but smile when he thought of the rapid expansion of his own power since Lei Luo joined the Roots, relying on the prestige gained by the opponent one after another.
However, for the plan to be implemented next to target the Hyuga clan, seven undercover agents from the Hyuga clan are obviously not enough.
Therefore, Danzo issued an order:
"Jiazi, please lead five teams of elite Gennin to set up roadblocks outside the village on the two routes leading to the Country of Rain and the Country of Wind, and try to block the passing teams."
"If conditions permit, then I want you to contact the Hyuga ninjas in the team without disturbing too many people, and convey the following words to them..."
After saying that, Danzo paused, looked at Koshi who lowered his head to remember, and added:
"I think you should know exactly how to operate it, so I won't say more."
Concentrating on remembering Danzo's order, Jiazi paused for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Understood, Lord Danzo."
…
About a week has passed since the commotion caused by Hyuga Tamaki, and Konoha Village seems to be as peaceful as usual.
During this period, the Hyuga clan did not release any information about that night to the outside world, and all Hyuga clan members who participated in the hunt for Hyuga Tamaki were ordered to keep silent.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is probably some kind of "situation" within the Hyuga clan, similar to a "scandal", which is why they behave in such a secretive manner.
Because of this, many Konoha villagers began to discuss topics related to the Hyuga clan, all curious about what happened that night.
As one of the insiders, Lei Luo has no interest in paying attention to the trivial matters of the Hyuga clan.
During this week, in the process of non-stop dealing with various people, he seriously did a lot of work.
To give a rough summary, it can be divided into several aspects:
The first aspect:
Based on Shiranui Kusama's recommendation, as well as some civilian ninjas who took the initiative to visit, Lei Luo successively met with hundreds of ninjas of all levels in the village, including jounin, special jounin, chunin, and a very small number.
Genin.
These people are all civilian ninjas. I don’t know if they heard some rumors or simply admire Lei Luo...
In short, after meeting and chatting for a few words, these civilian ninjas expressed their willingness to join Lei Luo, allowing him to successfully recruit hundreds of subordinates.
Among them, Yueguang Huandao is also included.
It is worth mentioning that Yue Guan Xandao found Lei Luo the next day. When they met again, he burst into tears of gratitude and bowed his head without saying a word.
Obviously, the 100 million taels of gold had completely eliminated his grudge against Lei Luo.
In addition, under Lei Luo's instruction, Yueguang Xandao also publicized the matter. Within a short period of time, no one knew how many civilian ninjas got the news, and they were "thrilled".
Since the number of visitors began to surge from the third day, from a few people to a dozen or dozens of people, Lei Luo believed that the "advertisement" of Yueguang Huandao was quite effective.
