Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan and Taking Over Team 7

"Old Ōnoki probably wouldn't welcome me anyway. Why should I go where I'm not wanted?"

"Besides, Akatsuki can't capture every Tailed Beast. If I get to watch Ōnoki suffer, why not?"

With that,

he took his three students and Konan

and strolled away without a care in the world.

That left the Raikage standing there, utterly dumbfounded.

Once he had led the four of them out of the village,

Aogetsu Hyuga helplessly crunched his lollipop:

"You three, spit it out!"

Naruto and the others jumped.

Teacher Cangyue is sharp!

It was true.

Ever since they had heard what the Raikage said,

they had fallen silent and sunk into thought,

glancing at Aogetsu Hyuga again and again. They clearly had something to say.

Naruto asked:

"Um, Teacher Cangyue, are you really not going to save that Five-Tails?"

Sasuke and Sakura said nothing, but they looked at Aogetsu Hyuga expectantly.

Aogetsu Hyuga chuckled.

"Why should I save the Five-Tails?"

Naruto scratched his head.

"Akatsuki are bad guys. They're going around capturing Tailed Beasts. Wouldn't saving one be a good thing? Besides, you're so strong, Teacher Cangyue..."

Aogetsu Hyuga looked at Sakura and Sasuke.

"Do you two think the same?"

Sakura and Sasuke exchanged glances. Neither spoke, but neither disagreed.

Aogetsu Hyuga understood. That was exactly what they thought.

Aogetsu Hyuga sighed.

He looked up at the sky.

"Having a kind heart is a good thing, but..."

"I don't recall teaching you to be generous with someone else's time and effort."

With that,

a dangerous glint appeared

in Aogetsu Hyuga's eyes

as he turned his gaze sharply on the three of them.

Before any of them could argue,

an instant later,

an overwhelming presence

erupted without warning!

BOOM!

It was as though thunder had exploded inside their heads.

A tremendous force surged outward.
