Konoha 41 December 15th, which is the last full moon night of the year.
Akaseki, with Miroku, is searching back...
Miroku had already searched half of the previously designated area, but at this time, he doubted that Sealing might not be able to find it at ordinary times!
Considering that it is Ashura Sealing, and it is also "Wood Release Sealing", according to Mahashri, it will be affected by the full moon...
Akaseki As someone who "almost awakened Wood Release", I still don't understand what the relationship between the two is, but I still believe it.
From this, Akaseki believes even more that Chimera may have additional influence on the Hyuga Clan.
Otherwise, Mahashri, who insisted that he didn't know before, would suddenly become anxious without any reason...
Unfortunately, in the face of further inquiries from Akaseki, Mahashri started pretending to be dead again!
Because there is only one full moon on this night every month, Akaseki directly asked Miroku to open the search - directly zooming in to ten kilometers, not looking carefully, only looking for obvious fluctuations.
After all, there is only one night, and if you search one kilometer after another, you can't search very far!
"Huh?" Miroku I actually discovered something not long ago.
"What's wrong?" Akaseki asked quickly.
"There are abnormal fluctuations over there, but... someone discovered it earlier than us!" Miroku specially reminded.
"Who is he?" Akaseki frowned.
"It's Konoha's ninja... It should be Hyuga Clan, their eyes are white." Miroku said.
Tsk--
Akaseki made an unhappy sound.
If it were Iwagakure, he could kill him directly.
"The piece in front... well, it should be called Mount Sumeru... Are you sure this fluctuation is not a test given to them by the Uchiha Clan?" Akaseki asked with some hope.
"No, I can see the movements of your people, and this Sealing does vaguely resonate with the moon." Miroku shook his head.
This is also consistent with what Mahashri said "Ashura's Wood Release is related to the moon".
You really found the right one!
"How many of them are there? What are they doing? And... are any of them not wearing Forehead Protector?" Akaseki asked.
"Three of them are trying to enter Sealing, but no one without Forehead Protector has been found." Miroku said.
Akaseki heard this clearly. They probably haven't gone in yet, and even Main Family... that is, Hyuga Hiashi, haven't rushed over yet.
"Now they are starting to search for the source of the "eyes"." Miroku said instead.
Miroku stared so hard, and sure enough he was discovered.
Akaseki also stopped after hearing this and said to Miroku, "Wait for me here first."
Akaseki feels that now is not a good time for the Hyuga Clan to "recognize his ancestors" and call Miroku Ancestor.
At this time, they discovered that the power of Miroku was related to "Byakugan", which may not necessarily show filial piety.
So Akaseki approached alone...
At the same time, Hizashi Hyuga and Hyuga, Hyuga Iroha, became suspicious... especially Hizashi Hyuga!
Because after the three of them noticed the "watching gaze", they all looked in the direction they sensed, but found nothing.
Jian and Iroha can still be calmer. After all, although their Byakugan qualifications are pretty good, they are not top-notch. They are still young and just Chunin.
But Hizashi Hyuga is different...
His Byakugan talent has never been inferior to Hyuga Hiashi, and Hizashi even feels that his talent is better than Hiashi - after all, his Byakugan effect is partially limited by "Caged Bird", and the inheritance is completely different. This can still be "almost", isn't it a better proof of his qualifications?
But now Hizashi Hyuga doesn't see the source of his gaze...
It is said that the sight distance of "Byakugan" is most affected by talent and qualifications, followed by proficiency and chakra. Hizashi Hyuga didn't realize that among the Hyuga Clan who came this time, there was only one who could surpass him by so much!
"What? Hizashi, you didn't notice it either?" After hearing Hizashi's warning, he was also surprised.
Immediately, the three of them were on guard - at first they felt the gaze and thought they were of the same race, but now it seems...
"Huh?" Hizashi made a confused voice.
"How's it going?" Ji quickly asked.
"Yes...Akaseki." Hizashi said in surprise.
"What? Is it him?" Iroha was a little confused.
"Konoha's Akaseki" is very strong. They know that Uchiha Clan's "Sharingan" is also very powerful in eye skills, but... before this, they have never seen "Sharingan" compare with "Byakugan" in sight distance!
Not long after, Akaseki also appeared in the field of vision of the two Byakugan, and rushed over directly with a smile on his face - obviously, this was to confirm their position, and it was not a coincidence.
Wow--
Akaseki walked through a bush and came directly in front of the three people.
"Hey, Hizashi, long time no see." Akaseki said and nodded slightly towards the other two people.
Regarding Akaseki's way of greeting, Jian and Iroha have no objections. After all...
In the Uchiha Clan, this is considered very polite!
"Akaseki, I never thought you could see so far." Hizashi said with emotion.
"This is nothing. Byakugan also has merits. We cannot say arbitrarily that Byakugan is just the subordinate of Sharingan." Akaseki kept being modest.
Time, Iroha:...
Who on earth said that Byakugan is the subordinate of Sharingan? Why are you so modest here?
"It seems that you have also found this Sealing? Not bad, not bad... Then you can help me guard it outside and wait for me to go in and try!" Akaseki said righteously.
"Wait a minute!" Ji quickly stopped.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Akaseki looked at Hyuga - Akaseki was not familiar with him, but he only knew that he was Hyuga Clan, who was about the same age as Hiashi and Hizashi.
Seeing Akaseki's "Sharingan" staring at him, he muttered, "That... Young Master Clan Leader hasn't come over yet."
"Oh, then you can just wait outside." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
""""""""""hand-type""update"
Time, Iroha:...
If it is for other people in Konoha, especially other ninjas who are not Uchiha Clan or not from the Shinobi Clan, they can naturally let others wait here for the young master to come.
But...
Any Uchiha Clan who encounters this situation will have to fight with them.
As for Akashi Uchiha, then there is no need to fight - isn't this just asking for abuse?
Seeing this, Hizashi said, "Akaseki, let me go in with you, there will be someone to take care of you... Iroha, you guys wait outside, Mr. Clan Leader."
Akaseki looked unmoved, but he noticed that Hizashi also addressed him as "Little Clan Leader".
Five years ago, the two were inseparable brothers, but now they are separated by a tragically thick wall...
This is inevitable, after all, the relationship between the Main Family and Branch Family within the Hyuga Clan... it would be strange to maintain a brotherly relationship!
"But..." Shijie still had doubts about this, but after looking at Akaseki--there seemed to be no better way.
After all, it is impossible for Akaseki to voluntarily wait for the Main Family with them, and they cannot force Akaseki to stay here and wait.
If you do nothing, wouldn't you just give the credit to Akashi Uchiha?
"Hizashi...Akaseki's strength shouldn't require your care. Why don't we stay together and wait for Young Master Clan Leader." Iroha said dully at this time.
You can tell by the look in his eyes and tone that he is not dissatisfied with Hizashi's ideas, but is "reminding" Hizashi!
Now Hiashi is not only his brother, but also the heir of the Main Family...
The three of them stayed outside, just to give the credit to the Uchiha Clan?
It cannot be ruled out that Hiashi may think, "Hizashi also goes in, and Hyuga Clan's contribution is better than nothing." However, it cannot be ruled out that Hiashi may think, "Hyuga Branch Family has contributed, but Main Family has not, so it would be better not to have anything at all."...
Compared to Hizashi, Iroha is two years older, and his ideas are more conservative and more in line with the Branch Family's way of survival - if you don't go in, nothing will happen... After all, this is Akashi Uchiha. Who can blame us for not stopping him if he wants to go in? I'm afraid Shimura Danzō can't even stop him here!
But if we go in, we may arouse Main Family's dissatisfaction.
It's not like this kind of thing has never happened to Hizashi - when Chunin Ninja Exams was five years ago, Hizashi entered the finals, and Hiashi was eliminated, Clan Leader and some of the Branch Family's Clan Elder were very dissatisfied and treated Hizashi particularly coldly...Clan Leader is Hizashi's biological father!
Therefore, Iroha's reminder cannot be said to be unreasonable. Hizashi immediately understood what he meant and indeed looked hesitant...
But it's just for a moment!
Hizashi quickly said, "Although Akaseki is strong, there are always risks in acting alone."
"Well, you and I come in." Akaseki decided directly, as if he was ordering Hizashi to do so.
Of course Hyuga Clan can disobey Akaseki's orders. After all, Akaseki is not the captain of Hizashi, and Hizashi is now Jonin. In theory, the two are equal...
But Akaseki obviously said that on purpose.
When Jianhe Iroha saw this, he immediately said, "Since Akaseki said so... then leave it to us!"
The two of them specifically emphasized that this was all forced by Akaseki.
Although Hyuga Clan some Branch Family will desperately maintain or even further enhance Main Family's interests and status, and try their best to suppress other Branch Family to maintain their natural mentality of being a dog, but not everyone is like this, especially young people.
The carrier of Sealing looks like a twisted giant tree - the reason why it is twisted seems to be because there is a tree hole as high as a person on the trunk at this time. It is precisely to twist out the tree hole, so the entire giant tree is twisted.
If the giant tree looked like this before, Akaseki estimated that Miroku would notice it even if there was no Sealing fluctuation.
It's very possible that there are changes only on a full moon night!
Akaseki separated out a "Mirror Clone" and walked into the tree hole first, followed by his own body, and Hizashi followed behind.
After entering, there is indeed something special inside.
Akaseki was not in a hurry to find anything, but first said to Hizashi, "Actually, that boy was right, you shouldn't come in."
Akaseki was outside just now and it was hard to say that, so he was reminded at this time.
"I don't want to do "incorrect" things because of the "Main Family and Branch Family system", otherwise Caged Bird will not only be on my forehead, but also in my heart..."
