Although Chiba had learned the detailed circumstances of the Hyuga Clan's internal rebellion from Minato Namikaze, that had been from the Hokage's perspective. It might have seemed detailed, but many particulars were simply absent.
He could not deduce anything more from it.
To resolve Yukina's unfair treatment and the Hyuga Clan's attitude toward her, he had to learn as much as possible about the entire rebellion and find the key to changing Yukina's current situation.
Information from Minato Namikaze's perspective as Hokage was not enough.
He needed someone who understood the matter better—perhaps someone who had even been involved in it.
And now, Hyuga Yukyō before him was undoubtedly the best candidate. As Hyuga Shinsuke's only disciple, Hyuga Yukyō certainly knew something.
He had even lost an arm and an eye for Yukina. Though Chiba did not yet know why, it was highly likely that Hyuga Yukyō had been involved in the affair. Combined with the fact that he was now being hidden here in secret, there was a ninety-percent chance that the Hyuga Clan was hunting him. Perhaps he had participated in the rebellion as well, or perhaps he had defended Yukina and been branded a rebel. In any case, Hyuga Yukyō was absolutely connected to this matter.
So, as his words fell, he looked at Hyuga Yukyō with utter determination in his eyes, clearly conveying, Don't even think about hiding anything from me.
This guy wanted to interfere in the Hyuga Clan's internal affairs?
At that same moment, hearing Chiba's resolute words and seeing his determined gaze, Hyuga Yukyō paused with his right hand. With a clack, the food caught between his chopsticks fell into his bowl of rice, and his brow furrowed almost instantly.
*Don't joke around! Interfering in the Hyuga Clan's affairs—especially such a sensitive matter
