Illusion Technique: Beautiful Woman Moves Eyebrows!

The next day, spring rain fell softly. Ming Jing woke up early and sat under the eaves, staring blankly at the lush greenery outside.

In the morning, Tsukishiro Yuexi entered with an Anbu member. Upon seeing Ming Jing, the Anbu member immediately lowered his head and said, "Lord Hokage requests that the Clan Head of the Kurama Clan immediately proceed to the Hokage's main office!"

Ming Jing's gaze shifted from the gentle spring rain. He nodded and said, "The Clan Head is away, so I am temporarily in charge of all affairs of the Kurama Clan. Therefore, I will go with you!"

"Please do not keep the Lord Hokage waiting!" After saying this, the Anbu member vanished with a Shunshin no Jutsu. Tsukishiro Yuexi looked at Ming Jing, feeling that the Young Master's unusual behavior last night was related to today's events.

"Yuexi, go arrange for a carriage. I'll change my clothes." Ming Jing stood up and turned back to his room. Yuexi went down to arrange the carriage. When Ming Jing came out after changing, the Four Brothers of Up, Down, Left, and Right were already standing around his carriage. Qing Yan stood in front of the carriage, and Yuexi acted as the driver.

After getting into the carriage, pulled by two white horses, it drove towards the Hokage's office below the Hokage Rock under Yuexi's control. Inside the carriage, Ming Jing put his right index finger in his mouth to moisten it, then carefully drew a talisman on his left palm with the damp finger. Finally, he placed his left palm on his forehead: "Illusion Technique: Beautiful Woman Moves Eyebrows!"

Beautiful Woman Moves Eyebrows (Talisman Technique Gate): S-rank illusion technique, which hides the true self (including emotions, expressions, and physical body), reflecting the self that outsiders most want to see.

When Ming Jing's carriage arrived, Fugaku Uchiha was not far behind them. He saw Ming Jing descend from the carriage with Yuexi's assistance, turn his head with a cold expression, and show no intention of greeting anyone. Ming Jing naturally wouldn't force himself on someone who was being cold. He instructed the Four Brothers of Up, Down, Left, and Right to go to the Zhonghua Cuisine Restaurant and wait for him. Yuexi and Qing Yan would accompany him inside.

As soon as they entered the Hokage's office building lobby, they saw Hyuga Hiashi standing inside with a displeased expression. Beside him was a member of the Konoha Elder Council, whose name Ming Jing had forgotten. Shikamaru's father, Shikaku Nara, was meditating with his eyes closed. Behind him were Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino's father, and Choza Akimichi, Choji's father. There was also Hana Inuzuka, who was playing with a dog, the semi-transparent Shibi Aburame, Genbu Aburame, who was quietly being a handsome man (brother of Genbu Aburame, made-up character), and the sickly Gekko Hayato, who kept coughing (brother of Gekko Hayate, made-up character). Kakashi Hatake, who was unexpectedly but reasonably present, and the rest... Ming Jing didn't recognize.

"Yo, little handsome!" The first person to greet Ming Jing was Kakashi Hatake. Ming Jing smiled and walked over to Kakashi Hatake, then looked curiously at everyone present. They had met at the Fourth Hokage's funeral, introduced by Koji Kurama.

Those present merely glanced at Ming Jing. After all, this was a world where strength reigned supreme, and the Kurama Clan no longer commanded their respect, or so they thought.

"All Clan Heads and Patriarchs, the Hokage requests your presence inside," a secretary-type ninja walked out and said respectfully to those present.

Hyuga Hiashi led the way inside, followed closely by Shikaku Nara and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Everyone seemed to be entering in order of strength. Ming Jing quietly followed behind Kakashi, as he wasn't in a hurry. Thus, he and Kakashi became the last to enter, and they tacitly chose the last two seats. Tsukishiro Yuexi and Qing Yan went to the adjacent room.

"All Clan Heads and Patriarchs, you are likely aware of the circumstances. Kumogakure is being aggressive, demanding that we hand over the culprit," the Third Hokage said, his voice tinged with weariness as he smoked his pipe.

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Hyuga Hiashi stood up and said indignantly, "Third Hokage, please forgive my presumption, but the origin of this incident was Kumogakure infiltrating our Hyuga Clan's territory in the middle of the night and using it as an opportunity to abduct our clan members. It was then that our Hyuga Clan retaliated! Both in terms of reason and emotion, Kumogakure should be the one to give us an explanation!"

After hearing Hyuga Hiashi's words, everyone frowned slightly, clearly showing their strong disapproval of Kumogakure's actions.

"Excuse me, I'm late!" Fugaku Uchiha walked in at this moment. He went directly to the front and sat to the left of the Third Hokage. Danzo sat to the Third Hokage's right.

Seeing this, Ming Jing sighed inwardly. Did the Uchiha Clan have to be so obvious about their dissatisfaction with the Hokage? Moreover, Fugaku's approach had basically offended everyone present, although the Uchiha Clan generally didn't care much about the others present...

"Fugaku is here. What are your thoughts on this incident?" The Third Hokage asked kindly, as if nothing had happened.

"You decide. Our Uchiha Clan will not participate." After speaking, Fugaku Uchiha closed his eyes, too lazy to bother. His behavior actually relieved Hyuga Hiashi, who had feared the Uchiha Clan would add insult to injury. However, if he knew what Fugaku would do later, he probably wouldn't feel so relieved.

However, just as one trouble ended, another began. At this moment, a Chunin entered and handed a scroll to the Third Hokage. After opening and reading it, a flicker of anger crossed the Third Hokage's face, but he quickly controlled it.

The next part of the meeting saw another member of the Hyuga Clan step forward and speak at length. In short, the Hyuga Clan would not compromise!

After listening for a while, Danzo suddenly looked at the Third Hokage and asked, "Lord Hokage, was that scroll just now from Kumogakure? What did the Fourth Raikage say?"

Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly. He looked at Danzo, feeling a vague sense of unease, wondering what schemes this old fox was up to now.

"It's nothing, just a greeting from the Raikage," the Third Hokage said casually, giving Danzo a deep look. The old man then turned to the assembled guests and asked, "Does anyone have anything to say?"

Were any of the people present not shrewd? Everyone lowered their heads at this moment, fully embracing their roles as minor figures.

"Um..." Ming Jing raised his hand at this moment, attracting everyone's attention. He swallowed nervously and said, "I think what Patriarch Hyuga said earlier is correct. This matter is Kumogakure's fault."

Kakashi, sitting nearby, shook his head helplessly.

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly. In this world, only children distinguish right from wrong!

Fugaku Uchiha opened his eyes expressionlessly, glanced at Ming Jing, and then closed them again to rest.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ming Jing asked cautiously. This was the effect of Beautiful Woman Moves Eyebrows. Who among those present were not experts? Not to mention the Third Hokage, Danzo himself was disgusting but undeniably powerful, not to mention Fugaku Uchiha with his Sharingan, Hyuga Hiashi with his Byakugan, Kakashi the Jonin, Shikaku Nara the Jonin, and so on. To act among these people would require incredible acting skills. It was better to use an illusion to hide his true expressions and emotions, amplifying what these people wanted to see. For example, the Third Hokage saw a somewhat timid youth, Danzo saw an overenthusiastic teen, and Fugaku Uchiha saw an arrogant youth.

"Heh heh, thank you for your opinion, Clan of Kurama." The Third Hokage smiled kindly, without commenting on Ming Jing's words. If not for the Raikage's letter, the Third Hokage might have given Ming Jing's words a more objective evaluation. But now... he needed to consider it carefully.
