These people had no intention of fighting them head-on. They were merely making a tremendous commotion to create the appearance of a fierce battle.
Even after noticing this, Hizashi Hyuga could not quite figure out what they wanted. They were clearly just stalling for time, accomplishing nothing at all.
The instant that thought flashed through his mind, Hizashi Hyuga felt that something was terribly wrong. He immediately barked, "Stop letting them drag this out! Send two more people in and finish them off!"
Standing beside him, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hizashi Hyuga in surprise and confusion when he heard this. "What's going on?"
In Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, although these people were reasonably strong, they were nowhere near strong enough to require twice as much ninjutsu to subdue them. Doing so would simply disgrace the Hyuga Clan!
Seeing his older brother's displeased expression, Hizashi Hyuga could only explain quickly, "There's something wrong with these people. They didn't come here to attack the Hyuga Clan at all. They're stalling for time. I don't know what they're planning, but thwarting their attempt to buy time certainly can't hurt!"
Hyuga Hiashi understood immediately. His expression turned icy as he watched the four people struggling to maneuver around the courtyard, like a spider sitting on its web, waiting for its prey to fall into the trap!
Meanwhile, the rear courtyard of the Hyuga Clan compound was quiet. Hinata Hyuga had finished her day's training and hurried back to her room to rest after dinner.
Although she was a little girl, under her father's guidance and strict demands, Hinata had already become very mature and responsible.
She did everything herself and did not need anyone to keep her company. No one waited outside her door, either. Only a few guards on patrol passed by from time
