The sun shines on Shikaku's face, making his eyes, which are usually a bit lazy, particularly clear.
Shikamaru's fingers clenched Senbon tightly. The knuckles were slightly raised, and the tip of Senbon pierced the skin of the palm, leaving a shallow white mark.
His throat rolled.
A fear welled up in his heart that was so strong that it almost suffocated him.
It's not the fear of death, it's the uneasiness of the kind of absolute violence that doesn't make sense, doesn't follow the rules, and doesn't give you any room for calculation.
This completely restrains his greatest strength!
He swallowed.
"I understand."
Shikaku nodded, walked down the corridor and walked towards the courtyard door.
The residence of Konoha, Kakashi.
Kakashi was sitting on the steps at the door, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hanging by his side.
Forehead Protector was wearing it diagonally, covering his left eye. The exposed eye was staring at the ground, his eyes unfocused, like a puddle of stagnant water.
He was wearing regular clothes, with an open collar and no ties, and his clothes hung loosely on his shoulders. His silver-white hair hung down from the top of his head, covering half of his face.
The sun shone on him, casting his shadow on the wall behind him, short and thick.
He has been sitting here for a long time. He sat here from morning to noon, and from noon until the sun turned west. He did not move, drink water, or eat anything during this time.
The sound of footsteps came from the alley.
The footsteps of more than one person.
Kakashi raised his eyelids.
Uchiha Yongye walked in the front, his hands in his trouser pockets, and his pace was leisurely.
Behind him was Might Guy, wearing the green Bodysuit, with his hands on his hips and his eyes widened under his thick eyebrows.
Behind them are Inoichi Yamanaka and Shikaku Nara, walking side by side, each with a more solemn expression.
Finally, there is the Zhan Zhao five-member group, high-spirited and high-spirited.
Kakashi stood up slowly, took his hands out of his trouser pockets, and hung them by his sides. His fingers spread slightly, then clenched quickly.
Yongye stood in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Kakashi."
"You are suspected of participating in the attack on Shisui Uchiha. Come back with us and assist in the investigation."
Kakashi's body tensed suddenly.
His shoulders shrugged upward, and the muscles in his back bulged under the uniform. The exposed eye was wide and the pupils shrank crazily in the sockets.
"I didn't!"
His voice was urgent and angry, with an irrepressible irritability.
"What evidence do you have and why should you arrest me?"
In the past few days, he has been extremely unlucky. He was investigated by ANBU, kicked out of Hokage's direct lineage, exposed in public for the cowardice he least wanted to face, and scolded like a dog.
Now, there is another charge of attacking Shisui.
Yongye looked at him, the expression on his face began to turn cold. "Do you want to resist the law?"
Five words, each word is like a stone hitting Kakashi's chest.
Kakashi's mouth was open, with a bunch of defensive words surging in his throat, but those words were blocked in his throat and no words could come out. His chest rose and fell violently several times, and his clenched fists made a series of creaking sounds.
Might Guy squeezed out from behind Yongye and stood in front of Kakashi.
He raised his hand and patted Kakashi's shoulder, making a muffled sound with his palm.
"Kakashi, don't do anything stupid."
"Those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. I am also a witness. I will never let you be wronged!"
Kakashi's shoulders trembled slightly under Kai's palm. He stared at Kai's honest face, and then looked at Inoichi Yamanaka and Shikaku Nara standing behind Kai.
The expressions of the two clan leaders were very subtle. They were not looking at the suspects carefully, but looking at the excitement and embarrassment.
Kakashi Take a deep breath.
The chest rose and fell once, and then again. On the third stroke, the surging anger was suppressed.
His shoulders were slumped, his back was slightly stooped, and his whole body was wilted like a cabbage beaten by frost.
"... Okay."
Two words, hoarse and tired.
He stepped down the steps and walked past Yongye. His steps were very slow, and every step felt like he was stepping in the mud.
Uchiha Yongye turned around and followed him.
The Zhan Zhao five-man team came from both sides and sandwiched Kakashi in the middle. There was no overhand, no lock, but the formation itself was an attitude.
You are a suspect!
Don't act rashly!
Hyuga Clan, Clan Leader's Mansion.
Uchiha Yongye stood in the yard with his hands in his pockets, but his aura was overwhelming.
Behind him stood the five-person group Kakashi, Might Guy, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, and Zhan Zhao.
Nine people and nine figures further add to the powerful power of Uchiha Yongye.
Hyuga Hiashi stood in the corridor, folding his hands on his chest, Byakugan was already turned on, and the meridians at the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.
Behind him stood two Hyuga people, a man and a woman, both from separate families, with Caged Bird Seal and Cursed Seal engraved on their foreheads. The two stood straight, but their fingers were trembling slightly at their sides.
Uchiha Yongye bit Hyuga Hiashi with a cold tone:
"You Hyuga Clan, three of you are suspected of participating in the attack on Shisui Uchiha."
"Hyuga Clan Leader, come back with us and assist in the investigation."
Hyuga Hiashi's brows frowned suddenly. The meridians around Byakugan bulged even more, and cyan blood vessels pulsated at the temples.
He lowered his arms and dropped them by his side.
"It has nothing to do with us!"
His voice was hard and cold, with a hint of offended anger.
"We have our own Byakugan, why are we robbing your Sharingan!"
Inoichi Yamanaka stood behind Yongye, with his head lowered, staring at the toes of his shoes. Shikaku Nara stood next to him, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes drifting up and down in the sky.
Both of them were embarrassed.
Hyuga Hiashi is right, Hyuga Clan has his own Kekkei Genkai, and there is really no use in grabbing Sharingan.
But they can't speak. If they speak, they will offend Uchiha Yongye. If they don't speak, they will offend Hinata, because their presence here is an attitude in itself.
Choose the lesser of two evils!
Uchiha Yongye is more ruthless than Hinata. They have no choice but to... suffer Hinata!
Uchiha Yongye looked at Hyuga Hiashi, the corners of his mouth slowly raised. The smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, it only stopped on his lips, as cold as a thin layer of ice.
"I give you two choices. One, assist in the investigation. Two, resist the law and be strict and start a war!"
As soon as the words fell, the Zhan Zhao five-person group took a step forward at the same time.
Five pairs of Sharingan were turned on at the same time, and Three-Tomoe slowly rotated in the pupils. The scarlet light was particularly dazzling in the afternoon sun.
The five people put their hands on Ninja Tool Pouch at their waists, and their fingertips had already touched the handle of Kunai.
Hyuga Hiashi's pupils shrank.
His Byakugan can see every detail within a radius of several kilometers, see through walls, see through the ground, and see through the Chakra flow in the human body.
But at this moment, he only saw five pairs of scarlet Sharingan.
The murderous intent in those five pairs of eyes was not disguised, it was the look of someone who really wanted to take action.
His fingers were clenched at his sides, his knuckles crackling. His lips were pressed into a straight line, and the muscles on his cheeks were tense.
The yard was so quiet that the only sound was the rustling of the Pine Tree branches and leaves in the wind.
Hyuga Hiashi's chest rose and fell twice, and then twice. Then his shoulders slumped slightly, and his fingers slowly loosened from their clenched state.
"... Okay."
These two words were squeezed out from between the teeth, with an overwhelming sense of humiliation.
He stepped down the corridor and walked past Yongye. He walked quickly and stepped hard with each step. Geta made a dull clicking sound on the Stone Slab ground.
The two branch family members followed behind him, lowering their heads and not daring to look into Uchiha Yongye's eyes.
Yongye turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Zhan Zhao's five-man group surrounded him from both sides, sandwiching Hyuga Hiashi and the two branch family members in the middle.
As everyone walked out of the courtyard, the sun shone on them, casting their shadows on the Stone Slab road, dragging them long and messy.
Neji Hyuga stood in the shadow of the corridor, watching those figures disappear at the entrance of the alley.
His Byakugan was not turned on, but his dark eyes reflected the arrogance of Uchiha Yongye when he left!
Neji Hyuga's expression is very complicated.
There is Rage, there is humiliation, there is envy, there is worship, and there is also an indescribable confusion.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands. The Caged Bird Seal on his forehead felt a dull pain below the hairline.
The hand was clenched and then loosened. It was clenched tightly and then loosened.
In his mind, one sentence echoed repeatedly:
--As a true man, this is how it should be!
