Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 43

Soon, they were beaten until they began to shriek in agony.

The sounds were truly shrill and miserable.

One hot-blooded youth, filled with righteous indignation, even delivered a strike to Odley's groin, causing the latter to clutch his crotch in pain and roll incessantly on the ground!

Pain.

It was far too painful.

Odley finally could not hold back any longer, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, shouting:

"I am the leader of the Cloud Village Delegation, Odley!"

"Stop, all of you! Don't hit me anymore!"

In the middle of speaking.

Odley even tried to tear off the animal mask on his face, wanting to reveal his true identity.

But just as he reached for the mask.

Uchiha Tekka kicked him to the ground and spoke with righteous severity.

"Our Cloud Village Delegation has always been upright and honorable, especially Leader Odley, who is handsome, dashing, and magnanimous. How could he possibly do something like sneaking into someone else's territory in the middle of the night to commit evil? You are clearly not a good person, attempting to sabotage the relationship between Konoha and the Cloud Village—your crime is doubled!"

"Brothers, beat him!"

These words left Odley completely speechless.

What greeted Odley next were even more ferocious punches and kicks.

Nearby clansmen, hearing the commotion and sharing the same hatred for the enemy, even grabbed stools from their homes and delivered a few "thwacks" to Odley, leaving the latter dizzy and disoriented.

But it was only natural.

Sneaking into the Uchiha compound like a thief.

Who knew if he was planning to commit some heinous act?

At the same time, the Uchiha were also establishing their authority.

If anyone dared to act recklessly in the future.

They would have to consider the consequences!

Half an hour later.

Odley had been beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, his breathing shallow, and he had lost half his life.

"Stop!" Fugaku waved his hand.

He signaled for the many members of the Uchiha Military Police Force to cease.

Based on his height and build.

Fugaku guessed that this person before him was likely the leader of the Cloud Village Delegation, Odley.

After Genya had clashed with Darui previously, he had warned Fugaku to be wary of Cloud Village ninjas, as they might covet the Uchiha Sharingan.

Therefore, Fugaku had strengthened the Military Police Force's patrols within the clan.

Sure enough.

They had caught a big fish today.

At the same time, Fugaku felt a sense of admiration.

Genya was truly meticulous...

"Lock this person in the prison. Tomorrow morning, Tekka, you go and report to the Hokage, and say that this person snuck into the Uchiha compound, plotting something sinister!"

"Understood, Clan Leader Fugaku!" Uchiha Tekka acknowledged.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Uchiha Tekka reported the intelligence regarding the intruder in the Uchiha compound to the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He happened to run into Samui and the other members of the Cloud Village Delegation who had come looking for Odley.

Odley had not returned all night.

And he had snuck into the Uchiha compound.

They were afraid that something had happened to Odley.

Even with guilty consciences, they still steeled themselves to come and see Sarutobi Hiruzen early in the morning.

Konoha Hospital.

At this moment, Odley was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, his face bruised and swollen, and he had even lost a few teeth, causing him to whistle when he spoke.

He shifted his body from time to time.

That strike to the groin from the Uchiha last night had been quite effective.

Even now, Odley felt a lingering ache in his balls.

Hmm... this is truly a pain in the balls.

Odley looked up at Fugaku, his face full of apology as he spoke in a muddled, stuttering tone.

"Fu-Fu-Fu... Clan Leader Fugaku, I... I... I accidentally trespassed into the Uchiha compound yesterday, which was truly a disturbance. I... I apologize for my erroneous behavior!"

Although he had been beaten to a pulp by the Uchiha, Odley dared not say anything more.

After all, he was the one in the wrong to begin with.

He was fortunate that the Uchiha had not killed him.

This was mainly because Genya had previously reminded Fugaku.

He could teach Odley a lesson, but he could not kill him.

Otherwise, if Konoha wanted to smooth things over, they might just push the Uchiha out as a scapegoat.

Genya did not want the tragedy of the Hyuga clan to befall the Uchiha.

Fugaku had also taken this issue into consideration.

Otherwise, Odley might already be a corpse!

"If Delegation Leader Odley puts it that way, then it was our Uchiha who were in the wrong. It was dark yesterday and we didn't see clearly, otherwise we wouldn't have laid a hand on you. I presume Delegation Leader Odley must have heard that the Uchiha compound has beautiful scenery, which is why you came to visit."

"Please do inform us before you come next time; we Uchiha will certainly welcome your arrival with a grand reception."

The corners of Odley's mouth twitched.

Yesterday's reception was certainly grand enough.

I nearly had my balls shattered into pieces.

You lot must have known it was me, which is why you hit so hard, right?

"Delegation Leader Odley, just rest well. We in Konoha will arrange for the best medical ninja to treat your injuries!" Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was no fool.

Through their conversation, he had guessed that Odley had likely snuck into the Uchiha compound to do something shady, which was why the former had been forced to swallow his own broken teeth.

The Uchiha's handling of this matter was truly perfect...

The incident where Odley of Kumogakure snuck into the Uchiha compound and got beaten up was eventually spread by "unintentional" parties.

The Kumogakure side not only failed to gain any benefits but was also cleaned up by the Uchiha, making them the laughingstock of the village.

Because of this, the arrogant members of Kumogakure avoided going out unless necessary during this period, as they truly could not afford to lose any more face...

Besides this.

Far away in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage was furious upon hearing of this incident, rebuking the Cloud Village Delegation for losing all their dignity!

At the same time.

Ever since this incident occurred.

Every major clan had strengthened their internal patrols.

After all, no one wanted to have their people stolen by those from Kumogakure.

Even Konoha had secretly dispatched Anbu.

To prevent the same thing from happening again.

The Hyuga clan was decorated with lanterns and streamers, bustling with excitement.

Today was the third birthday of the clan princess, Hinata Hyuga.

As the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi had not only invited the high-ranking officials of Konoha but also the heads of all the major noble families to attend.

The Hyuga had originally intended to invite the Cloud Village Delegation to the event to showcase the clan's heritage, but after the "kidnapping incident," they not only abandoned this idea but also dispatched many experts from within the clan to guard important locations throughout the Hyuga compound.

Should any member of the Cloud Village Delegation appear.

They would be subdued immediately and handed over to the high-ranking officials of Konoha for processing.

Everyone had grown smarter this time...

The relationship between the Uchiha and the Hyuga was average, but since the former was also a noble clan of Konoha, they had also received an invitation.

Because Itachi was away on a mission with his Jonin squad leader, Fugaku only brought Genya and Sasuke along to offer their congratulations.

Upon arriving at the Hyuga compound.

Genya could clearly feel it.

The hierarchy here was strict.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Although the faces of the Hyuga clansmen were filled with smiles, they felt like professional, practiced smiles—insincere, as if they lacked a soul.

Genya also saw Hinata Hyuga.

At this moment, she had just turned three years old; she looked exquisite and adorable, surrounded by people as if she were the moon among the stars.

Today, she was the protagonist of the banquet.

"Genya!" A voice tinged with joy rang out from behind Genya.

Genya turned his head and discovered Hyuga Nami standing behind him with a look of pleasant surprise in her eyes.

"You're here to attend Lady Hinata's birthday banquet, aren't you?" Nami walked over slowly, her happiness evident on her face.

At the same time, she thought to herself.

With so many people here, to think I would actually run into Genya; he and I are truly fated...

"That's right." Genya nodded, feeling surprised himself that he had happened to run into Nami.

"The Hyuga Clan grounds are vast and the scenery is beautiful. Would you like me to take you for a stroll?" Nami smiled sweetly.

Genya was a guest.

Nami was an attendant arranged by the Hyuga to be here.

She would much rather take Genya for a walk within the Hyuga Clan.

"Sure." Genya nodded.

Genya actually agreed to take a walk with me; I'm so happy. Nami's face flushed red.

Seeing the change in Nami's complexion, Genya asked in confusion.

"Nami, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go rest?"

"No..." Nami covered her mouth and chuckled.

Just as Nami was lost in her own thoughts, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out beside the two of them.
