The Killer Who Murdered the Cloud Ninja?

The person who entered through the door was none other than Neji Hyuga.

As he pushed open the door, his attention was immediately drawn to Hinata and Kanami, who were carrying large and small bags.

"This is?"

"Brother-in-law, it's been a long time."

Neji Hyuga nodded and said, "It's been a long time."

If it were in Team Guy, Neji would have given him a sour look, but after witnessing him kill the Elder with one punch, he had already accepted him as his brother-in-law.

'With his strength, he's more than capable of protecting Lord Hinata.'

Then, everyone present fell silent.

Kanami sensed something was off. From the words Neji Hyuga shouted as he entered, he could tell that Neji and Hyuga Hiashi had something to say, but since Feng An was there, there were some things Neji might not want him to hear.

"Then Hinata and I will be leaving now. Goodbye, brother-in-law, father-in-law, and Sister-in-law."

Kanami waved his hand and disappeared from the spot.

This time Hyuga Hiashi didn't say anything.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is really useful," Neji Hyuga muttered to himself.

Hyuga Hiashi patted Hanabi Hyuga's little head.

"Hanabi, go back inside first."

"Oh."

Hanabi Hyuga nodded obediently, crawled out of Hiashi's arms, and walked into the inner room.

Once only the two of them remained in the courtyard, Neji Hyuga spoke up, "Are we really going to do this?"

"This is the only way; the fate of the Uchiha Clan is still fresh in our minds."

"Our Hyuga Clan established various systems to prevent the loss of the Byakugan, all for the sake of Konoha. And yet we are treated like the Uchiha?"

Neji Hyuga whispered.

His cold expression made it clear that what he said was not a question, but a statement.

"Let's go, Neji. This time, let's see just how terrifying the Cloud Village ninja really are."

Hyuga Hiashi stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes.

Neji Hyuga nodded. "Okay."

Just as the two were about to leave, Kanami and Hinata pushed open the door and entered.

Hyuga Hiashi was taken aback. "What are you still doing here?"

"I sensed something was wrong with you two earlier. My father-in-law's affairs are naturally my affairs too. What happened?"

Kanami used the Flying Thunder God Technique twice. First, he delivered the large and small packages home, and then he teleported to the Flying Thunder God Mark outside the Hyuga Residence.

Hyuga Hiashi glanced at Hinata Hyuga and sighed:

"Since things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. Cloud Village is pressuring Konoha to compensate us for the two Elite Jonin they killed."

Cloud Village?

'Could I be the murderer they're looking for?'

Kanami whispered to himself.

He then asked, "Then why did you approach the Hyuga Clan? Are you after the Byakugan?"

"That's right, and it specifically requires one of my beloved daughters."

Hyuga Hiashi clenched his fists, his face Killer Bee gloomy.

"He's still got the heart of a thief."

Kanami's face showed a hint of displeasure.

This is exactly the same as eight years ago, except that back then they demanded the hand over the murderer who killed the Cloud Ninja envoy, while this time the Cloud Village is directly revealing its purpose.

"What were you planning just now? From your conversation, it seemed you were going to directly engage those three Cloud Ninja?"

Neji Hyuga glanced at Hyuga Hiashi.

Seeing Hyuga Hiashi nod, Neji spoke up, "The original plan was for me to use the Transformation Jutsu to transform into Lord Hinata's appearance, make contact, and then seize the opportunity to kill those three."

Kanami rested his hand on his chin, pondered for a moment, and then responded.

"Hmm... I think the method is feasible, but the personnel will need to be changed."

How will it change?

"Then my father-in-law and I can go together; you all can stay home and wait."

"There are three people on the other side, and those Two Advisors will definitely be there. It would be better if we went together."

Hearing Neji Hyuga's words, Kanami asked with some curiosity, "You already know the real cause of your father Hizashi's death?"

Neji Hyuga nodded. "Let me go. I also want to contribute to the Hyuga Clan."

"Yes, Kanami, one more person means one more strength..." Hinata chimed in.

Before Hinata could finish speaking, Kanami understood what she wanted to say.

Kanami gently rubbed her head. "No way, I absolutely won't let you go."

After saying that, Kanami used the Transformation Jutsu to make himself look exactly like Hinata, even Killer Bee to his measurements.

Hinata felt like she was looking in a mirror when she saw it.

"Let's go, father-in-law, let's go and see what those Cloud Ninja are like."

Kanami placed his hand on Hyuga Hiashi's shoulder, preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, when he realized he didn't know their location.

Where were those people located again?

"..."

Hyuga Hiashi: "Let's go to the Hokage Building and find those two advisors first."

Kanami nodded and instantly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, appearing outside the Hokage Building.

The two then hurried there.

The two arrived at the Hokage Conference Room in less than a minute.

Sure enough, they found two advisors there.

Upon seeing the two enter, Utatane Koharu asked, "Hiashi? And Hinata?"

Hyuga Hiashi stepped forward, his face serious.

"Advisor, my daughter and I have pondered this all night. For the Will of Fire in our hearts, we are willing to give our lives for the village, just like my brother did."

Mitokado Homura sat on the green sofa, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He had expected this outcome, but he never imagined that the other party would take the initiative to come to him.

That's fine, though, it saves them from having to face the rest of the Hyuga clan.

Faced with such a powerful clan, even if they couldn't compare to the Uchiha Clan of yesteryear, if they truly worked together, neither of them dared to claim they could escape unscathed.

"Good, for making such a correct choice in the face of such a major issue, the entire Konoha Village will remember the name of your daughter Hinata Hyuga."

Kanami, who had Hinata Hyuga, felt utterly disdainful.

His rhetoric was not even a tenth as good as Hiruzen Sarutobi's; it was full of flattery.

And if he really could remember, what about Hizashi Hyuga? Who knew he sacrificed himself because of the village's concession?

No one remembers; the only ones who will remember are those closest to you.

"Hiashi Chief Hiashi, please wait a moment. I'll send someone to inform the Cloud Ninja."

Utatane Koharu her dorm room, walked out of the conference room.

Just as they walked a short distance, a member of the Anbu appeared in front of Utatane Koharu.

"Go and inform those Cloud Ninja to come here immediately."

"Yes."

After the Anbu members responded, they left.

Utatane Koharu returned to the conference room.

Hyuga Hiashi asked, "Is this where we're meeting?"

"Yes, is there something you need?"

Hyuga Hiashi shook his head. "It's nothing."

The two had originally thought they would meet at the village entrance, but instead it happened in the Hokage Conference Room.

This left Hyuga Hiashi somewhat undecided, because starting a battle here meant that the hidden Anbu would definitely intervene.

Then, he looked at Kanami.

Kanami felt the gaze and nodded slightly at him.

Once the decision to fight is made, then there is only war.
