Upon hearing this, the expressions of Yuzuki, Fūka, and Shino Aburame, who were standing next to Kiba Inuzuka, changed.

If bloodshed occurs, it will prove that the situation is extremely serious, regardless of the circumstances.

"Could Kanami be involved in some kind of murder case?"

Fūka, standing to the side, said with some concern.

Upon hearing his words, everyone's expressions became even more unpleasant.

Shino Aburame, standing to the side, looked at the small black bug on her finger and nodded.

The human and the insect seemed to be communicating.

Then the insect entered his body, and he said, "No,"

"Really?! That's great, you scared me to death." Fūka and her sister Yuzuki's expressions softened a little.

Shino Aburame interrupted, "It's not that we were involved in the incident, but rather that the incident itself was caused by Kanami."

"Ah?"

You're talking so slowly and deliberately!

Fūka rolled up her sleeves, ready to punch him, but the thought of him being covered in black bugs made her shudder.

For the sake of their lasting friendship, Fūka chose not to take action, and it was definitely not because she was afraid of the bugs on him.

"Are we just going to watch Kanami get into danger?" Kiba Inuzuka's teeth chattered.

He wanted to help, but they were all Anbu, and he was just a Genin.

'Wouldn't he be instantly killed in a single encounter?'

The same thought crossed their minds.

As the main figures from various clans arrived at the scene, the Hyuga Clan members looked somewhat flustered, their Byakugan clearly visible.

They only have a dozen or so people on their side, while the enemy's numbers are at least five times greater. If they let this situation drag on, things will only get worse.

"Chieftain, what should we do?"

Hyuga Kō asked in a low voice.

Hyuga Hiashi frowned; he knew that Hyuga Kō meant to ask him whether he should make a move.

If this drags on any longer, a one-sided situation will emerge.

Just as he was deep in thought, Kanami spoke up, "Wait for me."

Bass!

Kanami appeared at the mark in front of the Hokage Building, quickly stepped forward, and used Wood Release Transformation to remove all the collapsed building debris.

Then they saw that Kanami's "Wood Release: Four Pillar Prison Technique" had left the square wooden cube intact.

Beside him lay Omoi, his body smashed to pieces.

Without much hesitation, Kanami used the Wood Release Transformation to push aside the boulders teetering above his head, thus dispelling the Four Pillar Prison Technique.

After the ropes were removed, two Cloud Ninja were seen tightly bound by the trees.

Mabui's mouth was stuffed with tree branches, making it difficult to swallow as one branch extended into his throat, and his mouth was covered in wet saliva. Samui, on the other hand, had his large, menacing weapon shaped by the tree branches in an extremely rough manner.

At this moment, the two men stared at Kanami with cold, sharp eyes. If looks could kill, Kanami would have been killed a hundred times over in that instant.

Even though the position of the massive weapon bound to the tree was quite awkward, Kanami had no time to appreciate it. He placed his hands on the two of them and instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Bass!

He then led the two back to Hyuga Hiashi's side.

It took less than three seconds to bring the two people to the scene.

Even so, many Hyuga members thought that Kanami had escaped. Fortunately, after seeing him return, some Hyuga clan members were relieved.

They had witnessed Miss Hinata's boyfriend's incredible feat of killing the Elder with a single punch.

If he ran away, they felt they could simply surrender and admit defeat.

After Kanami reappeared, everyone's attention was focused on Mabui and Samui, who were lying on the ground and entangled.

The two felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance at the stares of the crowd.

They felt like two lambs to the slaughter, being watched by others.

Kanami spoke first, "The matter has been resolved. Since the Advisor Utatane has apologized and my father-in-law has accepted your apology, you can go back now."

If there were one word to describe his words, it would be "domineering."

There was no room for negotiation in his tone; he was giving orders.

"This kid is way too arrogant!"

"Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know, but what gives a kid like him the right to be so arrogant? I've lived for thirty years, eaten more salt than he's eaten rice, and I've never been this arrogant!"

Is it possible that you're not good enough?

Some villagers who knew nothing about it started chattering and gossiping, basically just joining in the fun.

"I understand." Utatane Koharu head and replying.

"Fools! If we let the Hyuga Clan grow up like this, they'll definitely become the next Uchiha Clan. We must wipe them out before they grow up!"

Mitokado Homura, who had somehow woken up, roared angrily.

"You're awake?" Kanami clasped his hands together.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu."

Wood Dragon, about three meters long, spiraled out towards Mitokado Homura.

His expression changed drastically in an instant. Although he had lived long enough, the excruciating pain made him afraid to try it a third time.

"Help me! Anyone, please come and save me! Elephant!"

He writhed on the ground like a maggot.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Bang!

Might Guy leaped high into the air and kicked the three-meter-long Wood Dragon, sending it flying sideways.

Might Guy gently lifted Mitokado Homura's writhing body and carried her to the side.

"Kanami, my disciple, what exactly happened?"

Kanami smiled and said, "Since Teacher Guy asked me, then I'll tell you everything."

There are at least a hundred people present, but less than half of them actually know the cause of the incident.

Kanami recounted how they were threatened by Cloud Village to sacrifice Hinata Hyuga, as well as the events Hiruzen Sarutobi eight years prior.

After he spent several minutes explaining the whole story in a powerful and forceful manner.

Everyone frowned, lost in thought.

"If that's the case, isn't the village being far too cruel to the Hyuga Clan?"

"How could the Hyuga clan, who have been so dedicated to serving the village, be treated like this?"

"Actually, I felt it was a real pity when the Uchiha Clan was wiped out. Look at what kind of trash the Konoha Military Police Force has been these past few years!"

"Are you out of your mind?! You can't say things like that!"

"Shikaku, what do you think?" Akimichi Chōza, who was in the middle of the scene, poked the black-haired pineapple-headed man with a scar on his face next to him.

Yamanaka Inoichi Yamanaka nearby, also cast a glance at them. Among the Ino-Shika-Cho, Shikaku Nara was the one who was good at making decisions.

Shikaku Nara placed his hand on his chin and opened his mouth. "If what this boy said is true, then the actions of the Lord Hokage and the two advisors were indeed inappropriate."

Let's wait and see.

His gaze was profound, as if he could see further than most people.

'Is it truly for the sake of the village, or is it that any large clan is seen as a threat by the Konoha higher-ups?'
