Shou Da and Acorus both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Shou Da seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the door of the noodle shop, and quickly hung a sign that read "Closed" in the direction of the door.
At the same time, he pulled the sliding doors on both sides hard, leaning on the closed door with his hands, feeling slightly exhausted.
After all, even if Uchiha Madara, Youdou and the others did nothing, just sitting there, they would have a frightening aura.
…………
Hyuga clan.
As one of the elder families who joined Konoha Hidden Village during its founding period, the Hyuga clan has a very high status and prestige in Konoha Village.
After experiencing several Hokage eras and the destruction of the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan can be said to be the well-deserved No. 1 family in Konoha.
As the oldest famous clan, the status of the Hyuga clan is somewhat transcendent. To be precise, it should be the status of the clan in Konoha among the Hyuga clan.
The descendants of the clan clan of the Hyuga clan do not need to be genin to receive mission training in Konoha. They can receive education directly at home and then take the chunin exam.
Just this.
One can imagine the transcendent status of the Hyuga clan.
now.
The location of the gate where the Hyuga clan resides.
With a rather bored expression on his face, Ranmaru sat on a step at the door, looking at both sides of the street from time to time.
In addition to Ranmaru, there were several ninjas from Kirigakure Village standing around the door.
However, these mist ninjas just stood around quietly and had no intention of entering the Hyuga clan's residence. They had obviously received special orders.
"Lord Ranmaru, would you like to go back and take a rest first? Just leave this place to us."
"If the Hyuga clan doesn't want to be exterminated, there won't be anything unusual. There's no need for Ranmaru-sama to keep an eye on it."
A fog ninja stood not far from Ranmaru, with a somewhat flattering look on his face.
If any outsiders saw this scene at this moment, they might not be able to help showing a strange look on their faces.
At this moment, Ranmaru looked like a child of about thirteen or fourteen years old, while this Kiri Ninja was a middle-aged uncle who was about 30 years old and looked a little beaten.
A middle-aged uncle is so respectful to a child-like person, and even a bit flattering. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little funny.
But among the several Kiri-nin who were guarding the surroundings, no one was amused by the way the middle-aged Kiri-nin flattered him.
If it were them at this moment, they would be like this middle-aged Mist Ninja.
The little adult-like Ranmaru in front of me is one of the members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist Ninja!
Not only are their status higher than them, but in terms of strength, they are no match for Ranmaru.
Everyone present has seen the terrifying combat power possessed by Ranmaru in the cursed seal state.
No matter in terms of status or strength, they are stronger than them, so it's strange that the crowd present can't help but flatter him.
And as Kirigakure Village becomes more prosperous and powerful, the status of ninjas like the Seven Swordsmen naturally increases.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that Ranmaru has such status and strength at such a young age, and his future prospects are definitely beyond imagination.
It would be great if he could hug Ranwan's thigh at this time.
"don't want."
Ranmaru refused without even raising his head.
The middle-aged Kirigakure touched his nose and stood back to his original position with some embarrassment.
Everyone didn't wait long.
Two footsteps came from the direction of the street on the left, shocking everyone present.
The ninjas on Kirigakure's side quickly looked in the direction conveyed by the voice, and at the same time their bodies tensed slightly, getting ready for battle.
Ever since the ninjas from Kirigakure and Iwagakure broke through the gates of Konoha, differences between the two ninja villages began to arise.
If the two parties cooperated before because they had a common enemy, then now the gate of Konoha has been breached.
The two ninjas who entered the Konoha Village were naturally prepared to reap benefits.
As the leader of the five major ninja villages, Konoha Village, anything that comes out of the fingers is enough to make ordinary civilian ninjas eat to death.
Especially the ninjutsu and secret techniques of some ninja families in Konoha are things that make everyone jealous.
Although these ninjutsu and secret techniques must be handed over to your village in the end, you can still make a copy secretly.
Even if the village knew about it, I'm afraid they would turn a blind eye. After all, this is their trophy.
And these ninjutsu and secret techniques can become one's own heritage, or even the heritage of one's own family.
As the saying goes, first come, first served!
Therefore, as soon as the ninjas from both sides entered Konoha Village, a large number of ninjas rushed towards the headquarters of some ninja families in Konoha Village.
As the oldest famous family in Konoha, the Hyuga clan can be said to be favored by all ninjas.
Ranmaru had already received the order, and after entering Konoha, he directly led several teams of Kiri nin to the headquarters of the Hyuga clan.
The Hyuga clan was surrounded in advance to prevent the group of guys from Iwagakure Village.
The ninjas of the Hyuga clan were also very aware of the current situation and allowed Ranmaru and others to do whatever they wanted.
In addition, Ranmaru only led the ninjas of Kirigakure to besiege the Hyuga clan, and did not take any action, nor did anyone enter the Hyuga clan's residence.
Instead, a strange calm was maintained between the two parties.
People from the Iwagakure Village arrived later, but when they saw the Hyuga clan who had been surrounded by Ranmaru, although the Iwanin people were a little reluctant, both sides were relatively restrained.
In the end, naturally the Iwa Ninja side took the lead in withdrawing.
Under the gaze of all the mist ninjas, the figures of Righto and Hyuga Neji appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The moment I saw You Dou!
All the mist ninjas retracted their movements at the same time, looking at Youdou with excitement and admiration on their faces, standing upright.
Ranmaru stood up directly from the steps and trotted towards the right direction.
"Sir Righto!"
Ranmaru said with a happy face next to Uto on the runway.
"Excuse me, please stay here."
"These blood stains...are there any injuries?"
Youto looked at Ranmaru with a gentle expression on his face, and also noticed the blood stains on Ranmaru's clothes.
"Ranwan's body has minor injuries, and the sister from the medical department treated them, and they are almost healed."
Ranmaru tidied away the blood stains on his clothes and said with a smile.
Youto touched Ranmaru's hair and nodded gently.
He naturally felt that Ranmaru was in pretty good condition, and he obviously did not suffer any serious injuries during the battle with Konoha.
But if you think about it carefully, when Ranmaru is in the state of curse seal, the muscles of his body are a bit harder than rocks.
If Ranmaru is to be seriously injured, at least he has defeated Ranmaru in terms of pure strength.
Righto took Ranmaru and Hyuga Neji to the gate of the Hyuga clan's residence and raised his head to look.
The Hyuga clan's house is very big.
To be precise, it shouldn't be called a house. Just by looking at it, you can see that there are countless houses lined up in the residence of the Hyuga clan.
Even, from the corner of his right eye, he could see a lot of shops inside.
This is simply a small village.
"It's really big enough."
Right Dou let out a sigh, chuckled and said.
There is no such ancient family in Kirigakure Village. Maybe there were in the past, but they have disappeared after experiencing the policies of the "Blood Mist" period.
There was a smile and sparkle in Righto's eyes. Subduing a family like the Hyuga clan would greatly increase the strength of the village.
However, the key to all this depends on Hinata Neji.
There is no way for outsiders to rule an ancient family like the Hyuga clan.
Thinking of this, Righto turned his head slightly and looked at Hinata Neji standing next to him.
Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar gate of the Hyuga clan in front of me.
At this time, Hyuga Neji had a confused and slightly excited look on his face.
Who would have thought that he, who had defected to Konoha, would be standing here again, and in this capacity.
For a moment, Hinata Neji hesitated.
"Sir Righto, I'm ready!"
But soon, Hyuga Neji calmed down again, looked at Youdou with a firm look in his eyes, and spoke respectfully.
Youto smiled softly, raised his feet and walked towards the Hyuga clan.
Compared with the scene you see outside the door, only by truly entering the Hyuga clan can you feel the heritage of being the largest family in Konoha and the oldest family.
A straight bluestone road leads directly to the deepest part of the Hyuga clan in the direction of the door.
Not far away, there is a training ground about half the size of a football field.
And looking at the situation in front of us, it is obvious that there is more than just this training ground within the entire Hyuga clan.
Generous!
This is the sigh in You Dou's heart, but it is just a sigh.
Even a place as big as Konoha will belong to the Mist Ninja Village in the future. How can Youto see the mere residence of the Hyuga clan?
Under the leadership of Hinata Neji, Uto and Ranmaru continued walking forward as if admiring the scenery.
In some of the houses on both sides, from time to time there would be a pair of eyes full of fear and fear, looking at Youdou and the others along the cracks in the doors or windows.
When they saw the comments from You Dou and the others, they quickly retracted.
Youto sensed it for a while, and easily realized that most of the people left in these rooms did not have chakra, and even if they did, they could barely reach the genin level at most.
There are no truly powerful ninjas.
These people obviously belong to the category of women and children.
You Dou Qianqian glanced at it and then looked away again.
The further you go, the more exquisite the houses in front begin to look like.
"Further ahead is where the clan lives. All the ninjas from the Hyuga clan must be there now."
Hinata Neji spoke softly while leading the way.
"In that case, the next thing is up to you."
You Dou suddenly paused slightly in his steps and spoke in a calm tone.
Before Hyuga Neji could react, he saw Uto and Ranmaru disappear at the same time.
Facing the two people who suddenly disappeared, Hyuga Neji was slightly stunned, but he remembered what Uto said before leaving.
Then I understood something.
Hinata Neji raised his head, with a determined look on his face, and strode forward.
After passing through a path separated by a wall, a vast courtyard appeared in front of Hyuga Neji.
What catches the eye!
Nearly a hundred ninjas of the Hyuga clan stood quietly in the courtyard, and standing at the front of these ninjas was the current head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hizashi.
Seeing Hyuga Neji appearing in front of them, all the Hyuga clan ninjas had complicated expressions in their eyes.
"You're here, Neji."
Hinata Hizashi's face was extremely calm, looking at Hinata Neji opposite.
Hyuga Neji did not speak, but was a little silent, but with a trace of hatred in his eyes, he looked at Hyuga Hinashi.
No matter what the reason was in the first place.
His father, Hyuga Hizashi, died in Hyuuga Hizashi's place.
Just because of the difference between the branch family and the clan family, do people from the branch family have to die for the clan members unconditionally?
This isn't fair!
"I didn't expect you to reach this level."
"It seems that your choice was right in some respects."
Hinata Hizu spoke softly again, but when he said this, there was a wry smile in his tone.
"It's more like being forced than a choice."
"How can a bird that breaks free from its cage let itself back into the cage again?"
Hinata Neji said with a hint of indifference in his voice and a slightly cold tone.
Hyuga Neji's words made the members of the Hyuga branch standing behind them couldn't help but their eyes flickered slightly, but no one spoke.
Everyone silently stared at Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Neji in front of them.
"A bird that escaped its cage?"
Hinata Hinashi murmured softly to himself.
The grievances between the clan and branch families in the Hyuga clan have been around for a long time because of the "caged bird", and there has long been no so-called right and wrong.
In the eyes of Hinata and Hiashi, it is not a wrong thing to plant a "caged bird" to protect the white eyes.
But in the eyes of the Hyuga branch, this is not only a prison, but also a cruel thing.
When Hinata Hiashi and Hyuga Neji started talking.
Udo and Ranmaru were already standing on the roof of a clan house behind the courtyard.
Youto watched this scene with a look of interest on his face.
Standing next to Righto, Ranmaru's eyes glowed red, which was obviously a sign that the Blood Succession Limit was activated.
Ranmaru used his red eye ability to form a special power to cover himself and Uto-sama, so that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan could not detect their existence at all.
"Master Uto, would it be dangerous for Neji to face the Hyuga clan alone?"
Ranmaru looked at Hinata Neji below, with a slightly worried look on his face, and spoke softly.
When Udo heard what Ranmaru said, he just smiled softly, without any worry on his face.
