Impact

As Yichen had predicted, Hiashi Hyuga 'Hiashi Hyuga body was quickly discovered by patrolling ninjas, but it was the Uchiha Clan who found it.

Because the location where Yichen dumped Hiashi Hyuga's body was near the Uchiha Clan's camp.

Uchiha Clan Uchiha Akira, Elite Jonin of the Uchiha clan, discovered the body of Hiashi Hyuga while on patrol with three of his clansmen.

Because Yichen hadn't even done the simplest treatment, Uchiha Akira and his group could smell the blood on Hiashi Hyuga from a great distance.

The four Uchiha immediately formed a battle formation and quickly and cautiously approached the location of Hiashi Hyuga's body. Almost the moment they saw Hiashi Hyuga's corpse, the four recognized him.

Uchiha Akira said in a trembling voice, "It is the head of the Hyuga Clan: Hiashi Hyuga."

The Hyuga Clan is a powerful clan that is no weaker than the Uchiha Clan. Although Uchiha Akira, like the other members, is arrogant, he also understands that Hiashi Hyuga is a great figure whose strength and status are comparable to his own clan head, Uchiha No.

Now, the corpse of such a great figure had appeared before him without warning, Uchiha Akira was unable to accept it for a moment.

Moreover, the Uchiha Akira knew perfectly well that the Hyuga Clan Uchiha Clan still their biggest rival. In the hearts of the Uchiha Clan, Hiashi Hyuga was their clan leader, Uchiha No's, greatest rival in the struggle for the Fourth Hokage.

Now that Hiashi Hyuga's body has been found near the Uchiha Clan's camp, Uchiha Akira's first thought was, "Could this be the work of the clan head?"

But Uchiha Akira quickly realized that this was impossible. First of all, as an Uchiha, he knew the arrogance of his clan head, and Uchiha No would never seize the Hokage position through such means.

Secondly, he was a key figure in the Uchiha Clan's War Faction. If Uchiha No Uchiha Akira to actually attack Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga, he would definitely bring his trusted confidants along to ensure the operation succeeds. And last night, he was with Fugaku and the others; none of them had left the camp.

Finally, if Uchiha No had really done that, he wouldn't have left Hiashi Hyuga's body here.

But if even he, Uchiha, is starting to doubt the clan leader, what will the others think?

Just as Uchiha Akira in a state of utter confusion, a voice entered his ears. "Uncle Akira, Byakugan!"

Uchiha Akira suddenly realized, "Right, Hiashi Hyuga is from the Hyuga Main Family. If a member of the Hyuga Main Family is dead, what about the Byakugan?"

Although Hiashi Hyuga's noticeably sunken eyelids already spoke volumes, Uchiha Akira still said, trembling, "Shisui, look at Hiashi Hyuga's Byakugan, is it still there?"

That's right, one of the three subordinates led by Uchiha Akira was none other than Shisui Uchiha, the most dazzling genius of the Uchiha Clan at present.

Shisui is currently under ten years old. Although he is a Genin, his strength has already reached the Chunin. Moreover, due to the impact of the war, Shisui has awakened his Sharingan.

Shisui, still a young boy, stepped forward to examine Hiashi Hyuga's eye sockets, then stood up, shook his head at Uchiha Akira, and said, "He lost his Byakugan."

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Akira murmured, "It's okay if it's lost, it's better this way."

By this time, Uchiha Akira had calmed down. Hiashi Hyuga Tokuhiro was dead. The murderer placed Hiashi Hyuga's body near their Uchiha Clan camp, naturally to frame the Uchiha Clan.

While Uchiha No had a motive to kill Hiashi Hyuga, he absolutely had no motive to steal the Byakugan. The loss of the Byakugan would be a great loss for Konoha, but for the Uchiha, it could actually reduce some suspicion.

Given the arrogance of the Uchiha members, no one would think that the Uchiha would covet the Byakugan.

"Shisui, you're fast. Go back and inform the clan leader," Uchiha Akira instructed Shisui. He himself had to stay here to watch over Hiashi Hyuga's body. Of the remaining three, Shisui's speed far surpassed that of his two teammates.

"Yes." After replying, Shisui returned to the camp as quickly as possible to report to Uchiha No.

Watching Shisui disappear quickly, Uchiha Akira nodded. He was very satisfied with Shisui's talent. Shisui's only shortcoming was that he was too naive and kind; Shisui actually believed in the Will of Fire, a concoction used to deceive ordinary people.

We still need to guide Shisui properly in the future to prevent him from going astray.

Soon, Uchiha No arrived, bringing with him a large group of people, most of whom were ninjas dressed in the Uchiha Clan attire, with a small number of Civilian Ninja as well.

Among the non- Uchiha ninjas, one person stood out the most. This person wore an animal mask and was dressed as an Anbu. He was none other than Danzo, sent by Danzo to contact Uchiha No.

When Shisui returned to camp to deliver the message, Bing was also in the Command Center. When he heard the news of Hiashi Hyuga's death, Bing's first reaction was that Uchiha No was responsible, but after seeing Uchiha No's reaction, this idea wavered.

Thinking back on the fact that he had been staying at the Uchiha for the past few days, he figured that if Uchiha No had made any big moves, he wouldn't have been able to hide it from him. That's why he hadn't suspected Uchiha No for the time being.

Then, Bing's second suspect was his master: Danzo. After all, such a straightforward approach was very Danzo. But this time, Bing ruled him out even faster than before, because if Danzo were to take action, he wouldn't do so without taking Bing with him.

Even if he doesn't take me with him, he'll still give me the task of monitoring the Uchiha Clan.

Then Shisui brought up the matter of the lost Byakugan. Just like Uchiha Akira had thought, upon hearing that the Byakugan was also lost, Uchiha's ranking in Hijiri's mind of suspicion immediately dropped to outside the top five.

Those who came for the Byakugan are most likely ninjas from enemy countries.

Upon arriving at the scene, Bing examined Hiashi Hyuga's body before Uchiha No.

Then he stood up and said to Uchiha No, "Clan Chief Uchiha No, please inform the Hyuga Clan."

Although Uchiha No was dissatisfied with Bing's attitude, he didn't want to get too involved. So he directly sent Uchiha Akira's squad to the Hyuga Camp to inform the Hyuga Clan.

Leaving aside the thoughts of the Hyuga Clan upon hearing the news of their clan leader's death, and also setting aside the conflict between the Hyuga and Uchiha, let's put aside that for now.

Since the Main Family Hyuga Camp. Even if the Hyuga wanted to start a conflict with the Uchiha, they couldn't.

First, let's talk about the Mist ninja. After a fierce battle, Suikazan Fuguki and his group finally defeated more than a dozen Hyuga Branch Family. Unfortunately, three of them managed to escape.

This infuriated Suikazan Fuguki. If Kushimaru Kuriarare Hyuga Branch Family wouldn't have been able to escape.

Fortunately, before dawn, the last men he sent out to pursue Hiashi Hyuga returned. Seeing the Byakugan in Ao's hand, Suikazan Fuguki breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, something went smoothly. As long as I got the Byakugan roll, everything would be believable. Even my retreat could be called a strategic withdrawal. In any case, as the person in charge of this operation, I had achieved my ultimate goal.

The setbacks faced by the veteran sales staff could be entirely blamed on the three of them Kushimaru Kuriarare.

In order to secure his position, Suikazan Fuguki kept his promise and proposed to the Third Mizukage that he hand over the Byakugan to Ao, the ninja who had stolen Byakugan.

Although the trip didn't go very smoothly at the beginning, the final result was still good.

Yichen successfully acquired the Byakugan and gained a clearer understanding of the S-rank Ninjutsu, Mind's Eye. Also, he'd been cooped up in the village for too long, and finally being able to get some fresh air felt wonderful.

However, having finally managed to get out of the country, Yichen didn't want to go back so soon. After flying high in the sky Land of Whirlpools for a while, Yichen stopped.

After determining the direction, Yichen flew towards the original site of Uzushio Village.

The Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan had all been stolen by Ōnoki and the others, so there probably wasn't much of value left in Uzushio Village. But Yichen still wanted to go and see this ninja village that had been destroyed, to some extent, because of him.

Additionally, the original work mentions a place where the Uzumaki Clan stores the Shinigami Mask. Yichen also wants to try his luck and see if he can find it.

Of course, the original text doesn't describe it clearly, but Yichen thinks that this Namahado should have been moved away from Konoha. It's most likely in the Land of Fire now.

Yichen believed that Minato Namikaze, without the Shinigami Mask, wouldn't be able to learn the Death God Sealing Technique. This high-level sealing technique couldn't be achieved simply by drawing Sealing Runes. It must involve a lot of knowledge about Summoning Jutsu and the soul.

Yichen felt that the difficulty of Reaper Death Seal was even greater than that of sealing the S-rank Fire Domain.

Having experienced the incident with the Jashin, Yichen was somewhat curious about beings like the Death God. That's why he wanted to see if there were anything similar in the ruins of the Uzumaki Clan.

The location of Uzushio Village is easy to find; it is clearly marked on the map in Yichen's hand.

After landing in Uzushio Village, Yichen's Mind's Eye told him that there were at least three Chakra fluctuations within a hundred meters of him. This surprised Yichen; were there still members of the Uzumaki Clan?

However, Yichen immediately dismissed this guess, simply because the three of them had far too little Chakra.

"I guess they're here to try their luck, just like me."

Yichen didn't want to get entangled with these wandering ninjas, so he formed hand Hand Seals and unleashed a giant Fire Release towards the sky.

Yichen used B-rank Fire Style Jutsu, and it was B-rank Fire Style Jutsu with increased Chakra output.

Large plumes of flame shot into the sky above the former Uzushio Village, then spread out in a radial pattern.

The Fire Release covered an area of several hundred meters. Yichen believed that anyone in Uzushio Village would be able to detect it.

Upon seeing this Fire Release, any rogue ninja with even a modicum of intelligence should understand the meaning behind Yichen's clearing of the field.

As expected, after Yichen used Fire Release and focused his attention on Mind's Eye, he sensed that within a 200-meter radius, seven or eight ninjas, including the original three Chakra sources, were rapidly fleeing in a direction away from Yichen.

Yichen smiled, ignoring them, and instead used his Sensory Ninjutsu to conduct a wider search to see if there were any other troublemakers.

I was too tired yesterday and went to bed early, so this chapter counts as yesterday's. Sorry.
