The Whole Scene Was Shocked—Another Genius Born in the Uchiha Clan!

"However, that Cloud Ninja Leader was at Jonin level, and the several Chunin following him had all survived the Third Shinobi World War."

Having completely calmed down, Hiashi could not help muttering to himself.

Such a lineup was not exactly luxurious, but it was far from weak.

They could easily handle the vast majority of missions in the shinobi world.

Yet such a team had been wiped out by Kaze alone?

Most astonishingly, when Hiashi had rushed over, he had deliberately used his Byakugan to observe Kaze.

His Chakra reserves were so full that it was as if he had not used any at all.

And Kaze's clothes—let alone stained with his opponents' blood, they did not even have a speck of dust on them.

From that detail alone, it was clear that dealing with those Cloud Ninja had taken Kaze no effort whatsoever.

"If Kaze had fought those shinobi until he was at death's door, I could have accepted that."

"But judging from the traces at the scene, those shinobi were all killed in a single strike."

"That is enough to show that Kaze's strength far surpasses theirs."

"Perhaps this kid already possesses the strength of an Elite Jonin."

Hiashi murmured to himself inwardly.

The Uchiha Clan had produced another shinobi genius.

At that thought, Hiashi unconsciously glanced at Hinata in his arms.

His daughter was obedient and adorable, but she lacked the talent to learn Gentle Fist.

Then there was the Uchiha Clan...

Shisui, Itachi, Kaze...

Generation after generation, talent kept emerging.

Even he, the Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan, could not help feeling a little envious.

Just as Hiashi was marveling at the Uchiha Clan and Kaze's terrifying strength—

The younger generation of the Hyuga Clan, along with the village's Anbu shinobi,

arrived one after another.

"Anbu..."

Noticing the Anbu shinobi appearing, Hiashi could not help raising an eyebrow.

In order to retrieve Hinata earlier, he had not even had time to notify his own clan members.

Much less the village's Anbu shinobi.

"Even if someone from the main family notified Lord Hokage, isn't it a little too fast for these Anbu to arrive?"

Hiashi grumbled inwardly.

It seemed that the Third Hokage did not completely trust the increasingly powerful Hyuga Clan either.

"Clan Head, are you all right?"

"Those damn Cloud Ninja actually took advantage of the darkness to abduct our young lady. Their intentions were truly sinister."

"Is Lady Hinata all right?"

The moment they saw Hiashi, the clan members immediately surrounded him.

They anxiously asked about Hinata's condition.

"Hinata is not seriously hurt." Seeing this, Hiashi hurriedly explained, reassuring the clan members not to worry.

Hinata was safe and sound.

However...

Quite a few clan members looked past Hiashi and noticed the Cloud Ninja in the distance.

The Anbu shinobi also moved to inspect the Cloud Ninja.

Without exception, none of them still had a breath left.

One of them was even the representative who had come to Konoha during the day to sign the peace agreement.

After confirming his identity, the Anbu shinobi all frowned.

"This is bad."

A sense of foreboding arose in the hearts of those Anbu shinobi.

In their view, this matter had to be reported to the Third Hokage as soon as possible.

Meanwhile...

"As expected of the Clan Head. He dealt with those Cloud Ninja scum so easily."

"Isn't that obvious? The Clan Head is the strongest in our clan. He is even stronger than an ordinary Elite Jonin."

"Hmph, those Cloud Ninja deserved to die for daring to lay hands on our young lady."

The young members of the Hyuga Clan chimed in one after another.

They made no effort to avoid the Anbu shinobi at the scene.

All of them praised Hiashi's strength.

Of course...

Hiashi was not someone who craved glory.

Seeing that he had been misunderstood, he quickly shook his head and turned to look at Kaze.

Following Hiashi's movement, the Hyuga clansmen finally noticed Kaze's presence.

Then, Hiashi recounted everything that had happened exactly as it had occurred.

The person who had defeated those Cloud Ninja had not been him.

It had been Kaze of the Uchiha Clan.

Kaze had happened to pass by, discovered the Cloud Ninja's filthy scheme,

and stepped in to deal with them, saving Hinata.

"If not for Kaze, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"He is the benefactor of our Hyuga Clan!"

Hyuga Hiashi declared forcefully.

The moment those words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"Clan Head, are you saying that young man named Kaze was the one who took care of the Cloud Ninja?"

"You must be joking, right? The weakest among those Cloud Ninja were Chunin, and their leader was a Jonin..."

"Wait, I think I know that guy. Isn't he from the Uchiha Clan?"

"Even among the Uchiha Clan, someone who could so easily defeat one Jonin and four Chunin... aside from him, perhaps only Body Flicker Shisui could do it?"

"Look at his Chakra reserves. They were barely depleted..."

"Another Uchiha prodigy?"

For a time, the young members of the Hyuga Clan could not help discussing it animatedly.

While they were astonished by Kaze's strength, they also felt admiration.

If their positions had been switched, they could never have done such a thing.

Many of them had even assumed upon seeing the corpses that their Clan Head had done it.

They never would have imagined...

that it had been a genius of the Uchiha Clan!

And the Anbu shinobi at the scene heard every word.

In truth...

The Anbu were not like the Hyuga Clan.

Their primary daily work was gathering all kinds of intelligence.

Especially intelligence concerning the Uchiha Clan.

"I remember that Kaze was forced onto the battlefield at Five years old, yet he never earned any merit. Compared to that young man named Itachi, the difference between them was like heaven and earth..."

"After he came back, he was promoted to Chunin only out of consideration for the Uchiha Clan. His strength had always been utterly ordinary, so why was he suddenly this formidable today?"

One Anbu shinobi spoke in a low voice.

He felt that something suspicious might be going on.

Perhaps the person who had killed the Cloud Ninja was actually Hyuga Hiashi.

Then he had forcibly credited Kaze with the deed in order to distance the Hyuga Clan from this incident.

After all...

The shinobi who had died here was the representative who had signed the peace agreement.

He was a leader from Kumogakure.

He was also Lord Raikage's brother!

Yet...

He had no evidence.

Judging from the causes of death, these people had either died to Shuriken or Lightning Release.

They had nothing whatsoever to do with the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist!

"Could it be that the one who killed these shinobi really was that boy from the Uchiha Clan?"

Another Anbu shinobi began to speculate.

Perhaps Kaze had been hiding his strength all these years.

After all...

The Uchiha Clan had always been full of tricks.

But no matter what, the most urgent matter was to report everything to the Third Hokage as soon as possible.

Let him make the decision and handle the trouble that followed.

And so...

The two Anbu shinobi vanished into the night at the same time.
