"Anything else?"
"More?"
Hyuga Hiashi activated his Byakugan and sensed someone else outside the wall, fleeing at high speed. He immediately leaped into the air, spun around, and unleashed an Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.
The strike knocked one of the fleeing White Zetsu's arms clean off.
But White Zetsu still managed to escape.
Hyuga Hiashi didn't pursue him. After landing, he began examining the "corpses" on the ground.
"Are these things really human?"
When Hyuga Hiashi had activated his Byakugan earlier, he'd sensed that something was strange about White Zetsu's body. After examining one, he found that he'd been right.
There were no internal organs. They were just like plants.
"Father, what should we do? They didn't seem hostile at first..."
Hanabi was a little frightened.
She felt as if she'd caused harm to these innocent people.
"It's all right. Whether these things are people or someone's jutsu, they were wearing Amegakure Forehead Protectors. People from a small shinobi village aren't enough to..."
"Clan Head, Anbu are here to see you. They say it's on Lord Hokage's orders."
Hyuga Natsu, the maid assigned to look after Hanabi, came hurrying over.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi didn't connect the two events.
It had been less than ten minutes since he'd taken care of those Amegakure shinobi.
Besides, how could the other side dare?
A small shinobi village coveting the Byakugan, the kekkei genkai of Konoha's strongest clan, the Hyuga Clan.
Were they going to turn around and blame Konoha, just like the powerful Kumogakure?
He'd made sure to check first. He'd seen the Amegakure Forehead Protectors, and only then had he struck.
After what had happened before, how could he not be careful?
"Clan Head Hiashi, please bring Miss Hanabi. Also, I'll collect the intruders' remains."
