Grave Digging

Uchiha Clan Grounds

Since Fugaku was still alive and well, Hizashi did not ask any further questions.

Shamu continued, "That was the first piece of news."

"And the second?"

"You know about how Kakashi was attacked before and had his left eye taken, right?"

Hizashi nodded. Of course he knew; after all, he was in charge of the Military Police Force.

Because of that incident, the Third Hokage had specifically ordered the Hyuga Clan to alter all the village's defensive detection barriers. Hizashi had been busy for several days as well.

Hizashi considered it for a moment, then immediately
