Chapter 178 Instructions
Chapter 178 Instructions
"Neji, your father is going out tomorrow. Don't overtrain. Remember to rest."
"besides..."
Hyuga Hizashi muttered a lot of things, his eyes filled with reluctance.
This was the first time Neji had heard his father give him so many instructions, and he felt a little uneasy. "Has something happened?"
Uchiha Yoru was wearing ANBU uniform and leaning against the wall of Neji's house.
As night deepened, Hyuga Hizashi stepped out of his house, took one last reluctant look, and finally turned and left.
He had only taken two steps when a figure appeared in front of him. "Lord Hizashi, Lord Danzo invites you to visit him."
"What exactly does Danzo mean? It was clearly his idea. Does he intend to harm Neji?"
He had heard rumors about Danzo, that he liked to take in talented children. It seemed he had to go, and he had to go for Neji's sake. "Lead the way!"
Uchiha Yoh was not surprised by his reaction and took him to Root.
Upon arriving at the destination, Hyuga Hizashi cut to the chase, "Lord Danzo, what brings you here?"
Mo, with Shimura Danzo's face on his back, said, "It's nothing, I just wanted you to stay at Root and do some work."
Hyuga Hizashi looked puzzled.
"Look behind you!" Mo said meaningfully, resting his chin on his hand.
Hyuga Hizashi turned around, and a stunningly beautiful person who looked exactly like him appeared before him, leaving him utterly shocked.
"Blind eyes!"
He activated his Byakugan and looked over. "This... I can't tell at all. Even the chakra aura on his body is exactly the same as his." But why did Danzo do this?
"Don't worry, I have no interest in Hyuga Neji. I have my reasons for keeping you in Root. You probably don't want Neji to lose his father at such a young age, do you?" Mo saw through his thoughts at a glance and directly grasped his weakness.
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi fell silent, but finally nodded in agreement.
After Hyuga Hizashi left, Uchiha Yoh spoke first, "I plan to take this opportunity to fake my death and escape from Konoha. Be prepared."
"Understood. What do you need me to do?" Mo asked calmly.
"We'll see when the time comes, otherwise I'm afraid things might change." Uchiha Ye left these words behind and went to the Hokage's office under the identity of Hyuga Hizashi.
Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped what he was doing, put on the Hokage's hat, and said, "Let's go!"
In addition to the visible guards, there were also five members of the Anbu, led by Kakashi, but Itachi was still not chosen.
Kakashi probably didn't expect to have to work again so soon after being discharged from the hospital, which made Uchiha Ye chuckle for a while.
She should have visited him while he was hospitalized, but Mo warned her not to go, which made her even more puzzled about what had happened between them.
Ever since they returned from a mission together, something has been off.
As they left the Hokage's office, Uchiha Ye, who sported Hyuga Hizashi's appearance, secretly glanced at him. "Itachi's gotten taller again. I wonder if the face under the mask has become more handsome."
Although she tried to be discreet, Itachi still noticed her. "That look is so familiar." He instantly thought of Ye, then smiled bitterly and thought, "Perhaps he's being too sensitive. How could Ye possibly be here?"
He thought this to himself, but his gaze remained fixed on Hyuga Hizashi's back until he disappeared.
No sooner had the Third Hokage left Konoha than the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, each leading their own groups, headed toward the border.
Suddenly, the number of ninjas in Konoha Village decreased significantly, making this the most likely time for the Uchiha clan to launch a coup.
Unfortunately, Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, was no longer in Konoha. Not long after the Hyuga incident, Fugaku was sent elsewhere to carry out a secret mission, and he probably wouldn't be back for at least ten days to two weeks.
Even if he were alive, Uchiha Ye didn't believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have a backup plan.
She noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been extremely wary of the Uchiha clan lately, suggesting he had become aware of Danzo's change.
After all, they've known each other since childhood, and no matter how well she and Mo pretend, there are some things they just can't imitate.
"Leaving Konoha at the cost of death is now inevitable."
Two days later, the group arrived at the residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning in the Land of Fire.
While the Third Hokage was talking with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, Uchiha Ye finally met with Hyuga Hiashi. She moved her lips and said, "Brother, this is my own choice, so don't blame yourself. Please take good care of Neji for me."
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone came over and asked Hyuga Hiashi to come over.
At this moment, Uchiha Yoh had changed into Hyuga Hiashi's clothes, pushed open the door and walked out. His figure was full of choice. Hyuga Hiashi, wearing Anbu clothes, looked at that figure with a pained expression.
Uchiha Yo arrived at the location, and in full view of everyone, he took out a knife, stabbed himself in the abdomen, and fell to the ground dead.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sent a sensory ninja to confirm the person's identity. Once confirmed that the person was dead and not an imposter, the incident came to an end.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face aged several years in an instant. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. He sighed, waved his hand, and told the Anbu to deal with the corpse.
Kakashi watched as Hyuga Hizashi committed suicide before his eyes, and felt a pang of sadness. He personally carried the body and carefully placed it in its place. This unusual behavior puzzled the other Anbu members, and even he himself was not quite sure why.
As soon as the members of the secret service left, the corpse under the white sheet sat up.
Taking advantage of this moment, Uchiha Hajime created a mindless clone, naturally resembling Hyuga Hizashi.
After confirming that there were no problems, she returned to Konoha Village using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As soon as she returned, Mo said, "Just as I suspected, all the recent events were orchestrated by the other four villages, in order to weaken the village's power."
“Now, apart from us, Konoha has no high-end combat power left. Are you sure you can really withstand the attack from the four villages?”
"Konoha Village might really be destroyed."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll start notifying people now to take refuge in shelters, activate the barrier, and gather the remaining Konoha ninja to prepare for the attack. I have a feeling the attack is coming soon."
Uchiha Ye gave a command and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the location where Namikaze Minato and Kushina were.
This is her second time here. The last time she came was purely to leave a Flying Thunder God mark and to briefly check their physical condition, so that she could have a treatment plan for them today.
However, before that, she had an important task: to extract the Nine-Tails from Kushina and seal it into her own body.
She walked to Kushina's side, lifted her clothes to reveal her abdomen, placed her hand on it, and the next second her consciousness appeared in the space sealed by the Nine-Tails.
