Just as Ao concentrated and prepared to extract another Byakugan, Qi Shuang's grave voice came from behind him.
"Captain, don't rush to extract the remaining Byakugan! Konoha's people are here!"
At the same time, Mei Terumi, Zabuza, and Qi Shuang quickly surrounded Ao, warily keeping watch on their surroundings.
Hearing this, Ao finally came to his senses and noticed a Konoha ninja staring intently at him not far away. Apparently realizing he could not fight four opponents alone, the ninja stood nervously five meters away, not daring to approach rashly.
At the same time, a noisy series of shouts and footsteps was rapidly approaching through the dense forest.
It seemed Konoha and the Hidden Mist forces had fought their way here.
"There's still one Byakugan left to remove. It would be such a waste to leave it behind!" Ao glanced from the corner of his eye at the Hyuga Main Family member lying on the ground and thought regretfully.
He then whispered to his three subordinates, "Can the three of you buy me another minute? I want to remove the last Byakugan."
"If you want it, hurry up! Stop dawdling!" Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow. Her expression was extremely solemn as she watched the vague figures approaching through the forest.
Zabuza said nothing. He merely drew his short blade, answering with action.
Qi Shuang sighed and said, "We'll do our best!"
Having received their agreement, Ao said no more and immediately turned around to remove the last Byakugan.
The figures burst out of the dense forest, and Qi Shuang and the others were astonished to discover that the newcomers were three Konoha ninjas.
The Konoha ninja who had arrived earlier immediately shouted anxiously to his companions, "Quick, attack! That's the Hyuga Main Family! They're trying to take the Byakugan!"
