Attackers: Hyuga Clan

In the barbecue restaurant, Hanfu and Mei Terumi sat by the window, grilling meat.

As an experienced hand, Hanfu told interesting riddles while grilling, amusing Mei Terumi and improving their relationship. Meanwhile, his mind was still active.

So close!

He had almost run headfirst into Takigawa Hyuga just now.

After all, the letter Namikaze Minato wrote to the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura clearly marked the Akatsuki's attire. If he and Mei Terumi had met Takigawa Hyuga at the same time, wouldn't that put Hanfu in a difficult position?

After all, he was his own Shadow Clone, and he had to protect him.

Of course, now that he had confirmed Takigawa Hyuga was here, Hanfu's next step was to confirm the purpose of Takigawa Hyuga and Orochimaru's visit to Kirigakure!

After finishing the barbecue, Hanfu continued to chat and laugh with Mei Terumi as they went shopping... cough, searching for Orochimaru. Unfortunately, Orochimaru had already left Kirigakure with Takigawa Hyuga a step ahead.

After parting ways that night, Hanfu returned to his small courtyard. The other Hyuga Ninja also returned one after another, naturally none of them noticing anything.

"This can't go on!"

Hizashi Hyuga looked at Hanfu and asked, "Hanfu, if Kirigakure doesn't allow us to use the Byakugan, can't we find a way to have them send more Mist Ninja to help us?"

"That..."

Hanfu looked troubled. "Although I am here representing Lord Hokage, my purpose is only to deliver a letter. Other matters..."

It was not legitimate to act without proper authority.

Moreover, even if Hanfu was willing to Use Authority as a Pretext, Karatachi Yagura might not pay attention to him.

What if he asked Mei Terumi for Help?

But Mei Terumi was not related to him by blood or marriage, so why would she Help him?
