Becoming the Tsuchikage in the Naruto World

Chapter 308: Chaos

Hashiryū's infiltration was very successful. Never mind that there were no Byakugan looking at his position at all right now; even if there were, as long as those Byakugan were not too close, they would not be able to discover Hashiryū, who was isolated by a sealing jutsu.

In fact, this outfit of Hashiryū's, while able to deceive the prying eyes of the Byakugan, could not escape detection by the naked eye. If the few Hyuga clan members on night duty had walked out for a look, as long as they came face to face with him, they could have discovered him without even activating their Byakugan.

It was just that the Hyuga clan had never thought that there was a sealing jutsu in the ninja world that could block the Byakugan. They never relied on their naked eyes for reconnaissance. Why use the naked eye when you can use the Byakugan's x-ray vision?

So Hashiryū had an unobstructed path into the home of the Hyuga clan head.

At this time, Hiashi Hyuga and his wife were sleeping. The young lady, Hinata, was also in a room not far from them.

Hashiryū stopped his steps and carefully sensed the position of everyone in this large courtyard. Then he cautiously headed towards the room where Hinata was.

Gently pulling open the door to Hinata's room, Hashiryū couldn't help but hold his breath. If Hiashi activated his Byakugan at this moment and discovered that his daughter's room door had been opened, he would definitely be exposed.

Once exposed, the only thing left for him was the backup plan: to die at Hiashi's hands.

Although he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself for the village, if there was a chance to live, Hashiryū still wanted to fight for it. Moreover, if he took Hinata away, then everything would be led by the Cloud ninjas, and no accidents would occur.

But if the backup plan was activated and Konoha chose not to compromise, then the Cloud would not get the Byakugan either.

So, for both public and private reasons, Hashiryū hoped that the first plan would succeed.

After waiting for two seconds and hearing no movement from Hiashi's room not far away, Hashiryū cautiously walked into Hinata's room, took out a piece of black cloth also painted with runes to isolate Byakugan detection, and gently wrapped the sleeping Hinata in it.

Hashiryū performed all these actions very slowly. After he was done, he discovered that he was already covered in sweat.

Without delay, Hashiryū picked up Hinata and slowly left the room.

Everything went very smoothly. After Hashiryū had completely left the clan head's courtyard, the uneasy Hiashi finally noticed that something was wrong.

However, unlike in the original story, this time, the Byakugan-activated Hiashi only saw that Hinata had disappeared but did not discover the position of Hashiryū and Hinata.

Realizing his daughter was missing, Hiashi rushed out of his house while directly firing a signal into the sky indicating an enemy invasion.

The current Hiashi had not yet been disappointed in Hinata; Hinata Hanabi was not yet in the plan. Hinata was now his only daughter, the heir to the main family.

Soon, the members of the Hyuga branch family were awakened one after another. The first reaction of these people was not to come out and check the situation, but to activate their Byakugan and scout the surroundings.

As a result, although Hashiryū clearly saw the signal sent by Hiashi, he did not see a single Hyuga member come out to stop him. He actually rushed out of the Hyuga clan's territory unscathed.

Only a few branch family members who lived relatively close seemed to see something flash past in their Byakugan's vision.

Most branch family members didn't pay it any mind. Only one person subconsciously walked onto the street. As a result, he happened to see Hashiryū's retreating figure.

This person was stunned, then let out a loud shout, attracting the attention of other clan members, while he himself pursued without hesitation.

This person was not stupid. The naked eye could see it, but the Byakugan's see-through effect did not discover it. This was too terrifying. If this method became widespread, it would be a disaster for the Hyuga clan.

"The enemy is over here! The opponent can block the Byakugan's sight! Be careful!"

As soon as these words came out, a wave of unease surged in the hearts of all Hyuga members, including Hiashi. While rushing in Hashiryū's direction, Hiashi ordered a few branch family members to stay and guard, then directly called for the other ninjas to pursue together.

Hashiryū used all his strength, desperately running in the direction of the delegation's quarters. He was not a taijutsu-type ninja; his speed was not fast. Logically, he shouldn't be able to escape.

But Hashiryū was not flustered because he had companions.

As soon as he had set out, Ayumi Tahara had led all the Cloud ninjas to prepare for battle.

The Cloud ninjas were well-prepared. Once Hashiryū died, Ayumi and her team could immediately receive the news. At that time, they would go to the Hyuga clan to cause trouble.

And if Hashiryū succeeded, they also had to go and provide support.

So after Hiashi sent the signal, before the Hyuga branch family members had even moved, Ayumi and her team acted first.

With great tacit understanding, the thirteen Cloud ninjas directly rushed towards the direction of the Hyuga clan in a battle formation.

The Anbu responsible for monitoring them were about to intercept but were immediately repelled by the well-prepared Cloud ninjas. Fortunately, the Cloud ninjas did not deal a killing blow, only saying that their own leader had been kidnapped.

Soon, Ayumi and her team broke through the obstruction and were about to rendezvous with Hashiryū.

However, in a corner unnoticed by everyone, Ishiro popped his head out. He had taken advantage of the lack of people to secretly infiltrate the Cloud's lodgings.

Ishiro quickly checked several rooms and then easily found his target.

"Hehe, just as I thought," Ishiro smiled faintly.

In front of him was something like a small mound of earth. It was not large, about the size of a stool. Ishiro had seen an enlarged version of this thing in the original story; it was the base used by the Cloud to perform their space-time ninjutsu, the Heavenly Transfer Technique.

Without another word, Ishiro picked up this miniature Heavenly Transfer base and left.

Ishiro had long suspected it. On what grounds did the Cloud think that after obtaining Hiashi's body, they would have a chance to bring it back to the Cloud Village alive?

Ishiro's guess at the time was space-time ninjutsu.

As long as they put the Byakugan into a special box, they could directly transmit it back to the Cloud Village via the Heavenly Transfer Technique. At that time, whether Hiashi's body or the members of this delegation could safely return to the Cloud Village would no longer matter.

Ishiro tried to put this base for casting the Heavenly Transfer Technique into his ninja tool pouch, but failed. This thing actually repelled the ninja tool pouch. Ishiro could only carry it and leave the Cloud delegation's residence.

Now that Konoha Village had been alerted and ninjas were constantly emerging from the shadows, even if Ishiro had his Mind's Eye perception, he couldn't run far carrying such an object.

So, after turning a street, Ishiro ducked into a civilian's house.

Ishiro placed the base he was carrying in this family's storeroom and then left.

The good show wasn't over yet. Ishiro didn't want to miss the upcoming plot.

By the time Ishiro changed into a Konoha Anbu uniform and cautiously returned to the vicinity of the Cloud delegation's residence, the situation was already completely different.

Ayumi had received Hashiryū, but they had also been surrounded by the ninjas of the Hyuga clan.

Originally, Ayumi thought that the Hyuga clan would be concerned about their status as a Cloud delegation when they attacked. As long as the Hyuga didn't deal a killing blow, they were confident they could smoothly deliver the Byakugan to their residence.

But the reality was different from what Ayumi had predicted. The Hyuga clan's move this time was very decisive. They used killing moves from the start, and the target was not just Hashiryū alone, but the entire Cloud delegation.

Because in the eyes of the Hyuga clan ninjas, these Cloud ninjas could cut off the entire Hyuga clan's path of survival. They were not just fighting for the main family, but also for their own future.

The reason the Hyuga clan was able to have such great power and so many privileges in Konoha was not because of anything else, but because of the unparalleled role of the Byakugan in war.

But now someone had found a way to counter it.

If the Byakugan no longer had its reconnaissance function, what else could the Hyuga clan do but be cannon fodder? Not all Hyuga were geniuses; most of them had very average talent. Many of them used far more resources than others, yet their lifelong achievement was only Chunin.

But even if their strength was low, they were still sought after by all combat teams. Why? Wasn't it because of the Byakugan's almost unbeatable reconnaissance ability?

These people all relied on the Byakugan's long-range see-through ability to establish themselves in the village. Now they were extremely terrified, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.

Facing the siege of several hundred Hyuga ninjas, it was already not easy for Ayumi and her team to hold on until Ishiro, the spectator, arrived.

This was mainly because the Hyuga clan was not good at long-range combat; they were almost all close-combat ninjas. Although several hundred people were surrounding their opponents, the number of people attacking at any one time was not large.

But the situation was still very unfavorable for the Cloud. Ishiro hid in the dark and counted with his Mind's Eye. "Hmm, including Hashiryū and Ayumi, there are only eleven left. Three have died, and most of the remaining are not in good condition."

Just as Ishiro was assessing the situation, another Cloud ninja was taken out by a full set of Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms.

Ishiro did not carefully observe the two sides in combat but began to scout the surroundings.

"Where on earth is Orochimaru hiding?" With his personality, he shouldn't just be a spectator from beginning to end.

But Ishiro searched all around and did not find any trace of him.

Suddenly, the sound of battle also came from two kilometers away.

"That direction? The Hyuga clan's territory? Could it be... Orochimaru?" Ishiro was stunned. The two main family members of the Hyuga were both here. What was Orochimaru doing?

"Besides the Byakugan of the two main family members, is there anything else in the Hyuga clan that could catch Orochimaru's eye? Could it be that he's also taken a fancy to Neji Hyuga?"

"But although Neji has a bit of a reputation within the Hyuga clan now, very few outsiders know about it. And a branch family member with the Caged Bird Seal, Orochimaru would be interested in that?"

"Hmm? The Caged Bird Seal! Orochimaru went to find the data on the Caged Bird. That's right, the data on the Caged Bird! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Although I can't break the Caged Bird, this kind of curse seal placed on the soul would be of great help to researching Yin Release."

Ishiro was somewhat annoyed.

"Sigh, forget it. It's too late to go now. I'll find a chance to trade with Orochimaru again in the future."

While Ishiro was distracted, the situation on the field changed again. Seeing that there were still enemies in the clan territory, Hiashi had his younger brother Hizashi take more than half of the clansmen back to the territory to provide support.

Although the number of enemies was reduced by more than half, the situation for the Cloud ninjas did not improve because the number of Hyuga ninjas besieging them at the same time did not decrease.

And these people, seeing that the Cloud ninjas still had allies, became even more frantic in their attacks. Several Hyuga ninjas even disregarded their own safety and directly charged into the Cloud formation to use Rotation.

These few Hyuga ninjas were naturally targeted by the Cloud and suffered some injuries, but the Cloud's formation was also completely thrown into chaos. In a short moment, three Cloud ninjas were slapped to death by the Hyuga on the periphery.
