5.5 Orochimaru's gaze swept over these Anbu members with the surname Sarutobi.
Forget it, this isn't the time. Let's deal with Hinata's problem first.
Orochimaru addressed the group of Anbu members:
"You can divide the work yourselves. Some of you can stay here and guard the village, while the rest of you can go to prevent any chaos."
"Set up a blockade around the perimeter, and no one shall be allowed to enter the Hyuga clan's territory."
After saying that, Orochimaru quickly headed towards the Hyuga clan's compound.
...
Hyuga Neji has just completed a mission.
I'm on my way home.
Not long after he left, he felt something was wrong.
The security force should have been entirely composed of Hyuga clan members.
You should see many familiar faces on the road.
However, we haven't seen a single person since we set off.
The area, which should have been patrolled by clansmen, was completely deserted.
There were also some minor disputes on the street, but no one seemed to care.
Neji found it increasingly suspicious.
Chapter 273 Neji! White Zetsu! Hyuga!
Instinctively, I quickened my pace to get home.
On the way, they suddenly ran into an acquaintance, Hinata Shibuki.
"Senior Shibuki!"
Neji quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Why haven't we seen any of our tribesmen along the way?"
With his hands wrapped in bandages, Shibuki looked puzzled and said:
"I don't know either. I was injured while on duty this morning and just came back from the hospital."
"I've walked for a while and haven't seen anyone."
Neji guessed that something must have happened between this morning and now.
Shibuki's expression was also very unpleasant as he said:
"We didn't see any Dark Guards nearby, let's go back to our clan's territory and check the situation first."
Neji nodded, and the two quickly headed towards the clan compound.
Both of them felt uneasy and ran very fast.
A few minutes later, they approached the territory of the Hyuga clan.
Suddenly, a member of the secret service jumped down from the side of the street.
"What are you doing? Have you received any instructions?"
"Head to Training Ground Six immediately!"
Neji and Shibuki were about to ask a question.
Purple light curtains suddenly lit up in the four directions of East 15, South, West, and North.
These rays of light connected with each other, forming a huge rectangular barrier that completely sealed off the entire Hyuga clan territory.
The ANBU's expression changed drastically, and they shouted to Neji and the other two:
"It's too late! Under no circumstances should you enter the clan's territory!"
Then it hurriedly flew towards the clan center.
Shibuki looked back at the purplish-red barrier, a hint of seriousness flashing across his face.
"The Four Purple Flame Formation!?"
Neji remained relatively calm, although he was also worried that something might have happened within the clan.
However, the Anbu had already instructed them not to go in, so Neji obediently stayed outside.
After all, he was just a low-ranking ninja and couldn't be of much help.
Neji asked, "Senior Shibuki, what exactly is the Four Purple Flame Formation?"
Shibuki's expression turned somewhat serious as he said:
"This is a high-level sealing technique. This barrier (89 has four corners, and at least one person must be on guard at each corner for it to be activated)."
"A four-purple flame array of this scale would require a sealing team of about eight people at each corner."
"So, it would take at least thirty-two people to activate this formation."
"Once the formation is activated, one cannot enter or leave."
Neji looked in the direction of his clan's location, feeling anxious, wondering if his father was inside.
Danzo used a secret technique to infiltrate the Hyuga clan and found Kaito at home.
Seeing that no one was around, Danzo immediately appeared and said, "Something has happened."
Kaito was taken aback. He only sensed the presence of White Zetsu and did not expect it to be Danzo himself.
Haidou asked calmly, "What happened?"
Danzo coldly said:
"The tracking spell you planted on Yuuto has been activated, and Yuuto took most of the guards away today."
"Your identity is likely to be exposed now, so you must obtain the path to the moon as soon as possible."
Haidou uses the guise of practice to implant seed-like techniques into his fights with others.
Basically, it can be said that almost everyone in the Hyuga clan has this little thing on them.
These seeds remain undetected by others until they are triggered.
Only the spellcaster himself can sense it.
Players who have played against you more often carry more than one or two seeds.
These people train very hard and are very powerful, so their chakra can be extracted more quickly.
Haidou discovered upon investigation that the seeds within the bodies of many members of the branch family had already been activated.
His brows furrowed, clearly indicating that he knew he had given away his whereabouts.
It's unclear where things went wrong that led to the exposure.
But the most important problem now is that he has not yet obtained the map that leads to the moon.
The important book that records the method to go to the moon is currently kept close to the Grand Elder's body.
He has now aroused the other party's suspicion.
It's very likely that I'll never have the chance to get close to that treasure again.
No, I can't let Lord Black Zetsu down.
So he immediately gave the order to Danzo:
"Follow me, let's get ready to take down the Grand Elder."
Danzo's eyes flickered as he said, "Alright, let's go."
Danzo then changed his form, using his disguise skills to impersonate an ordinary member of the Hyuga clan.
There's no need to specifically imitate any particular person; there are so many people in the branch that even the old elder can't possibly remember everyone's face.
Tonight, Danzo's objective is clear: take down the old leader, obtain intelligence, and then immediately leave the scene.
Although they also wanted to weaken the village's power, the situation was simply too difficult at the moment.
It's best to avoid direct confrontation for now.
Originally intending to plan for the long term, he somehow felt that taking this opportunity to weaken Konoha was also a good option.
Kaito led Danzo out of the room and closed the door tightly.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Then they rushed to the training ground.
There were already thirteen main family disciples and three branch family disciples waiting there.
These three disciples from the branch family were on their day off, so they stayed in the clan today.
I heard that Elder Haidou was coming to guide my cultivation again, so I came here specifically to participate.
When Haidou entered the training ground and saw that there were sixteen people inside, he frowned slightly.
Although the number of people is not large, every one less is better.
A fierce smile appeared on Haidou's face, and then a rectangular barrier of purple-blue transparent flames suddenly appeared in the sky!
This barrier enveloped the entire Hyuga clan.
Hiashi's voice echoed in the air: "Hyuga Kaito may have betrayed us. All clansmen, get away from him immediately."
027 should be careful, as there might be parasites on him that drain his chakra.
This statement was repeated three times.
When the tribesmen saw the barrier appear outside, they began to panic.
Hearing Hiashi's words filled him with even greater fear.
Because Haidou was right in front of them, everyone was so frightened that they stepped back and looked at him warily.
Haidou, of course, also heard the warnings coming from the outside world.
He stopped pretending and immediately used the spore technique.
