The sight of Uya shattering the waves with a single punch had already shocked everyone on the ship. Although they were all ordinary people, there were also many merchants and celebrities on this merchant ship, who had a general idea of Uya's identity.
God of the Shinobi World!
These four words alone were enough to represent everything, making all these merchants want to visit Uya with utmost respect, but they were all stopped by Kimimaro and Haku.
Uya was too lazy to pay attention to anyone, so naturally no one dared to forcibly disturb Uya. Most of the merchants left their gifts as a token of gratitude for Uya saving them, and then departed with admiration.
Without encountering any further unexpected situations, the ship sailed all the way to the dock on the border of the Land of Fire. Before the ship even docked, Uya had already taken Kimimaro and Haku and left.
Although the people on that ship never saw Uya again, that scene at sea was something they could never forget and would admire for the rest of their lives.
Konoha.
The setting sun cast its golden light upon Konoha, bathing the entire village in a harmonious and serene atmosphere—at least on the surface, that's how it appeared.
At this moment, a grand celebration is being held in Konoha.
Over the years, the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning have opened up trade and their relations have gradually improved. The Kumogakure, which completed peace talks with Konoha a few years ago, came to Konoha to conclude an alliance treaty, preparing to further strengthen their relationship and become a united front.
Of course, this is only what appears to be the truth; no one knows the true purpose of the Kumogakure.
"Is this Konoha? It's really big, much bigger than Kirigakure."
Looking towards Konoha, a look of surprise appeared on Haku's small face, while Kimimaro stood there calmly to the side.
Hearing the commotion Konoha, Kimimaro remarked with some surprise, "It's quite lively."
" Kumogakure is coming to forge an alliance treaty... Interesting."
Uya's gaze seemed to pierce through the entire Konoha, taking in everything within Konoha, and a look of great interest appeared on his face.
As dusk fell, Uya had originally planned to stay in Konoha with Kimimaro and Haku for the time being.
He silently led Kimimaro and Haku into Konoha. No one knew of Uya's arrival. The Sensory Barrier that covered the entire Konoha was like his own home to Uya.
Not to mention that Uya's own power could easily shield it, just consider the Sensory Barrier itself. This barrier was constructed by the Uzumaki Clan and maintained by Kushina multiple times.
Although Uya doesn't care much about Sealing Jutsu and barriers, Kushina occasionally talks about them, and Uya can usually understand what's going on just by listening to a few sentences.
After all, Uya's level of Dōjutsu is simply too high. Even without Uya and Byakugan, Sharingan is still capable of seeing through the essence of a Ninjutsu or Sealing Jutsu at a glance.
Night fell quickly.
The bustling Konoha gradually quieted down, and the festival began to come to an end.
Almost everyone in Konoha attended the celebration, except for one clan: the Hyuga Clan. The Hyuga Clan also held its own ceremony, a birthday celebration.
Just when Konoha was almost completely silent, a dark figure flashed across the sky above Konoha, easily bypassing the patrolling ninjas under the cover of Konoha.
The dark figure, with its face covered, clearly had a very specific purpose. After rushing through Konoha, it quickly infiltrated the Hyuga Clan's territory.
Not long after, the dark figure leaped out of the Hyuga Clan's territory, grabbing a little girl in cute pajamas, his eyes filled with excitement and a cold smile.
"I didn't expect them to the Hyuga Clan so easily... Hmph! So lax in their defenses, they're nothing special after all, even daring to skip the festival..."
This dark figure was the ninja leader sent by the Kumogakure to conclude the alliance treaty.
Obtaining the Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan is extremely difficult, because the main Hyuga Main Family rarely leaves Konoha, and the Hyuga Branch Family, as ninjas who protect the Main Family, all have the Caged Bird Seal on their foreheads, which automatically destroys their Byakugan upon death.
It is extremely difficult to capture a member of the Hyuga Main Family, and the one he is holding in his hand is none other than Hinata Hyuga, the daughter of the Hyuga Main Family.
Hinata was unconscious at this moment. The dark figure looked down at Hinata, whom it was holding, and a sinister smile appeared on its face. It said, "Fine, you'll have to pay for missing the festival with your Byakugan!"
Behind them, in the Hyuga Clan's territory.
When Hinata was captured, the Hyuga Clan ninjas had already noticed. While some were tracking the shadowy figure, others rushed towards Hyuga Hiashi's room.
"Clan leader! Something terrible has happened! Hinata has been kidnapped!"
"What?!"
Hyuga Hiashi, who was still a little sleepy, was suddenly awakened by these words. In an Setsuna, all sleepiness vanished, and after realizing what had happened, he looked shocked and angry.
This is Konoha, and it's the Hyuga Clan's territory. How dare someone break in and kidnap Hinata! It's incredibly audacious!
Without hesitation, Hyuga Hiashi rushed out, instantly activating his Byakugan and spotting a dark figure speeding through Konoha.
Several Hyuga Clan ninjas were already chasing the Hinata, but they were clearly no match for the figure and were easily defeated.
Hyuga Hiashi seeing Hinata unconscious, Hiashi Hyuga was instantly enraged and rushed out of the clan compound without hesitation, heading straight for the dark figure.
The dark figure, holding Hinata swiftly, traversed Konoha, but struggled to shake off the Hyuga Clan with their Byakugan. Seeing that they had already alerted Konoha, a sharp glint flashed in the dark figure's eyes.
"Never mind, as long as I have eyes, that's enough."
He looked at Hinata, whom he was holding, and a cruel expression appeared on his face, which was covered by a black cloth. Suddenly, he stretched out two fingers and was about to strike Hinata's eyes, who was unconscious.
But in the next instant, a bizarre scene unfolded!
Without a sound, Hinata was in the shadowy figure's arms, vanished into thin air!
One moment he was holding me, the next he vanished into thin air; it was utterly bizarre under the pitch-black night.
"What?!"
The shadowy figure was clearly caught off guard, standing there in astonishment, even wondering if it had seen wrong or was dreaming.
It's a ghost!!
At that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his whole body was filled with dread. (To be continued.) 8
