Reclaiming the Byakugan

"Alright, you wait here, I'll go inform the Mizukage." With that, Guard 1 dashed out of the gate like a runner. Damn it! He said his name was Uchiha Kō, are you kidding me?

Although he didn't know Uchiha Kō, his Daimyo was not unfamiliar to ninjas in the Ninja World. In front of such a powerful figure, Guardian 1's legs trembled slightly.

Guard 2 was stunned. He stared at Guard 1's retreating figure, inwardly cursing, "You're so disloyal! You just ran away like that!"

What, you're the only one scared? I'm scared too! Damn it, it's all my fault for being a beat too slow. He stood at the door, cautiously looking at Uchiha Kō, and swallowed hard.

When he found Uchiha Kō sitting on the ground, he suddenly remembered that the weather in Kirigakure was a bit damp, so he quickly went to the duty room, took out his own chair, placed it at the door, and gestured for Uchiha Kō to sit down.

"Lord Hokage, please have a seat. Lord Mizukage will be here soon. The rocks are cool." Guard 2 smiled ingratiatingly.

Uchiha Kō naturally wouldn't refuse his kindness. After all, as the Kage of a village, he had that much magnanimity. He smiled and said, "Thank you," then sat down in the chair brought by Guard 2.

Guard 2 chuckled and stopped guarding the gate. Instead, he stood at the gate and looked into the Kirigakure, seemingly keeping watch for Uchiha Kō, waiting for the Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, to appear so that he could be relatively safe.

Mizukage's Office

Karatachi Yagura was handling official business when a guard came to report, "Reporting, Lord Mizukage, there's... there's something going on!"

Guard 1 rushed in hurriedly, immediately kneeling on one knee. Karatachi Yagura's pen paused, his face darkening. He was a little confused; what was the matter? Why was he in such a hurry?

I thought Uchiha Kō had attacked. I was all flustered and behaving like this. We're supposed to be the guards of Kirigakure.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Didn't the Anbu teach you manners?" After saying that, Karatachi Yagura had a slight anger on his face and looked at the guard in front of him with dissatisfaction.

If Guard 1 can't give him a straight answer today, I'll skin him alive and send him back to the army to learn some lessons. Guard 1 is usually a very clever person, how did he become like this today?

"Lord Mizukage, the Hokage, Uchiha Kō, has arrived and is waiting at the entrance of Kirigakure! Please, Lord Mizukage, grant us this favor!" Guard 1 immediately knelt down.

Karatachi Yagura and demanded, "Are you sure you're talking about Uchiha Kō?"

"Your subordinate, your subordinate is certain!" After saying that, the guard felt his collar loosen. Mizukage Karatachi Yagura's face was extremely gloomy. He tapped the table and suddenly thought of something.

"Tell Ao to hide, and also notify Suikazan Fuguki to gather the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and arrive at the Mizukage Building within ten minutes—no, three minutes!" Karatachi Yagura began to tidy his clothes, Mizukage into the Mizukage's robes from Kirigakure.

Standing silently by the floor-to-ceiling window, they waited for a short while. Soon after, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist appeared in the Mizukage's Office. Sensing their presence, Karatachi Yagura turned and said, "The Hokage Uchiha Kō, has arrived. Come with me to the village entrance to greet him! Remember to smile! Be polite!"

Then the group started practicing smiling, which confused Karatachi Yagura. "Stop, stop, stop! You guys should stop smiling. You were fine before." Hearing this, the seven stopped smiling.

Karatachi Yagura covered his head and sighed inwardly. How come his subordinates' smiles were even more terrifying than their stillness? He should stop smiling, lest he Kirigakure.

"Keep your attitude serious in a bit, and try not to talk if you can avoid it," Mizukage Karatachi Yagura instructed his subordinates. The others nodded; they had no interest in talking to someone as freakish as Uchiha Kō.

"Alright, let's set off then." After saying that, Karatachi Yagura led the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist towards the village entrance.

Soon

They saw that familiar yet terrifying figure, Uchiha Kō, who was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, looking at them with a smile.

But to them, that smile seemed sinister and malicious.

It can be said that all the misfortunes of Kirigakure from the Second World War to the Third Shinobi World War are linked to Uchiha Kō; nothing good ever comes from encountering him!

"Mizukage, why are you so late? I've been waiting here forever." Uchiha Kō chuckled, using internet slang from his past life to joke with Karatachi Yagura.

Karatachi Yagura was taken aback. What did this mean? Was he implying that they had been waiting too long, which had displeased Uchiha Kō?

"I apologize, Lord Hokage. I was very busy with official business this morning, and I only received the news suddenly, so my actions were a little slow. Please forgive me."

"Hehe, it's nothing, Mizukage- sama. I've only come here for one thing. I heard that someone from your Kirigakure took advantage of the chaos of the Third Shinobi World War to steal the Byakugan from our Konoha Hyuga Clan. Is that true?" Uchiha Kō said calmly.

Karatachi Yagura didn't speak, but thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't heard of this. Suigetsuyama, have you?"

Suigetsu scratched his head. "Lord Hokage, I haven't heard of this either. What Byakugan? If it existed, we should have known about it immediately!"

Karatachi Yagura's lips curled into a smile as he gave Suikazan Fuguki a thumbs-up. As expected of his capable subordinate, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances was truly exceptional! As for the others, he didn't intend to ask. Compared to Suikazan Fuguki, they weren't tactful enough and would reveal their weaknesses.

However, Uchiha Kō laughed and pointed at Jinin Akebino, "Come here for a moment."

Jinin Akebino paused for a moment, then looked at the others and Uchiha Kō, before pointing a finger at himself. "Me?"

"Oh no, this is bad!" Karatachi Yagura thought to himself. He had chosen the most naive one, and if he managed to trick her into revealing anything, he would be in big trouble!

At this moment, Ao was hiding in his dilapidated little home, waiting for the Mizukage's reply. He'd heard it was Uchiha Kō calling? Damn it, it's just a Byakugan, is it really worth going to such lengths?

What Ao didn't know was that he had now become a bargaining chip in the showdown Uchiha Kō and the Hyuga Clan, and things would no longer end as they did in the original story.

Jinin Akebino forward, and Uchiha Kō didn't say much. He placed his right hand on Kizo's head and used the Rinnegan's memory-reading technique. Jinin Akebino immediately felt as if his skull had been opened and his brain had been sucked away.

After Jinin Akebino for a while, Uchiha Kō laughed, looking meaningfully at Karatachi Yagura and Suikazan Fuguki.

Kushimaru Kuriarare was confused, but he knew he couldn't abandon his comrade. He helped Jinin Akebino up, looked at Jinin Akebino with a tense expression, and then looked at Uchiha Kō with hostility in his eyes.

"Hmm? Kushimaru Kuriarare, right? Don't worry, your partner is fine. I just read his memories, and he's a little dazed right now. He'll be fine after a day's rest." Uchiha Kō glanced at him and said calmly.

Upon hearing Kushimaru Kuriarare helped up Jinin Akebino, then looked at Mizukage Karatachi Yagura, Karatachi Yagura nodded, indicating that he should take Jinin Akebino with him first.

After receiving a signal from Karatachi Yagura, Kushimaru Kuriarare left the scene with Jinin Akebino.

The remaining five Ninja Blades and Karatachi Yagura were trembling with fear as they watched Uchiha Kō with extreme caution.

Uchiha Kō spoke up, "You really don't know about this?" He saw in Jinin Akebino's memories that Suikazan Fuguki was leading Ao to the Mizukage Building.

"Um, I know a little." Suikazan Fuguki scratched his head. "Better to sacrifice a friend than myself. Sorry, Qing, I was thinking of retraining you. Sigh."

Karatachi Yagura didn't speak. His thoughts were the same as Suikazan Fuguki's. Although he admired Ao, the ninja, the current situation was clearly beyond their control.

Suikazan Fuguki gave Karatachi Yagura a meaningful look, Karatachi Yagura nodded. Suikazan Fuguki sighed, "Lord Hokage, that person's location is..."

Uchiha Kō smiled and looked at him. "Lead the way."

"Yes!" Suikazan Fuguki nodded, then led Uchiha Kō toward where Ao was hiding, with the others following behind. If Uchiha Kō went berserk, they couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Although they couldn't stop Uchiha Kō from going berserk, they still had to do their best to protect the village.

Uchiha Kō nodded and followed behind Suikazan Fuguki, soon arriving at a dilapidated inn.

Suikazan Fuguki pointed to the door, then stepped back and stood with the remaining Sound Four, all behind the Mizukage Karatachi Yagura.

Inside the courtyard, Ao activated his Byakugan towards the entrance. There Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, Suikazan Fuguki, the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and a stranger. The next moment, his pupils contracted.

The Sharingan —that's from the Uchiha Clan. Considering they're in Kirigakure) and even the Mizukage is following behind, his identity is obvious.

Uchiha Kō! The moment this name appeared, Ao's face turned deathly pale. He understood that he had now become a pawn, and his act of stealing the Byakugan had been punished.

Uchiha Kō is here, and he certainly won't leave empty-handed, so I only have one option now: run! Qing immediately tried to escape, but before he could run a hundred meters, he felt an indescribable suction force all over his body.

"What's going on? What kind of bizarre move is this? Even though Qing is running forward with all his might, his body is still uncontrollably moving backward."

"Banshō Ten'in!" Uchiha Kō silently chanted in his heart, aiming at Ao. Ao watched helplessly as the surrounding environment receded, unable to stop it no matter how hard he tried, his heart filled with despair.

"No, no, no, no! Ah!" Qing roared as he was grabbed by Uchiha Kō. With lightning speed, Uchiha Kō removed Qing's mask and quickly removed his Byakugan!

Blood flowed from Ao's eyes. In Uchiha Kō's hand, there was blood and an intact Byakugan. He smiled slightly.
