Unexpectedly, four Konoha ninjas lost their lives here, including members of the Hyuga clan, who had the strongest reconnaissance capabilities.
The situation has become serious.
......
Inside the Hokage's office.
After listening to Kakashi's report, the Third Hokage frowned and said, "Please have Hizashi come here."
It's unbelievable that the most perceptive detective, Byakugan, was ambushed.
In the past, the Uchiha clan was responsible for guarding the perimeter of Konoha, and they had never suffered such a great loss.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they took over the Hyuga clan, Kirigakure seized the opportunity to come.
Fortunately, the warning fireworks were set off in time; otherwise, if these fog-shrouded creatures had infiltrated the village, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After Kakashi stepped down.
The cane clattered as the newcomer was none other than Shimura Danzo, who had been stripped of his position.
The Third Hokage was not surprised to see Danzo, since Danzo was still an advisor and elder even after losing his position as Hokage's assistant.
For him, the position of Hokage's assistant was nothing more than an empty title.
After all, there were many things that the Third Hokage couldn't do himself, so he still had to rely on Danzo.
The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe.
"Danzo, is the recent security problem your doing?"
"Hmph, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Now that the Uchiha have completely withdrawn from the police force, the remaining Uchiha clan members are only guarding their own shops. You'd better behave yourself."
Danzo did cause a ruckus for a few days, but later found that the Uchiha didn't take the bait at all, and his actions became a laughing stock.
He didn't pick up on that topic, but instead continued with his previous suggestion: "The members of the Root are all loyal and very suitable for being incorporated into the guard force."
The Third Hokage understood Danzo's scheme and waved his hand impatiently, saying, "We'll discuss this later. I'll go find Hizashi to find out what's going on."
"Hiruzen, think about it carefully."
Danzo did not press the matter, knowing full well that the Third Hokage would not allow him to extend Root's influence into the police force.
So he slowly walked away, leaning on his cane.
During this period, the guards were attacked.
Moreover, news of the sacrifice of a squad and a member of the Hyuga clan has already reached the Uchiha clan.
At this moment, Kawasaki was visiting Shisui. Shisui's eyes had been successfully reattached to 104. It had to be admitted that getting 278 eyes was indeed simple.
Even without special physical conditions, eye transplant surgery is considered a simple and easy procedure here.
Look at Rin Nohara, she was able to install Sharingan on Kakashi on the battlefield.
You'll then realize how widespread this type of medical technology is in this world.
Of course, the most amazing thing is Tsunade's Palm Healing Technique, a technique that she taught.
It can quickly repair various injuries, greatly reducing the probability of death.
If it weren't for the other injuries on Zhishui's body, the eye transplant alone wouldn't have kept him in bed for a week.
"Senior, I'm fine now, why do you insist on making me stay at home for so long?"
Shisui was originally called the deputy clan leader, but Kawasaki stopped him and, in order to build a closer relationship, asked Shisui to call him "senpai" directly.
"Konoha Village is currently in turmoil, and many people are eyeing our Uchiha clan. I'm letting you rest at home for two reasons: first, to allow you to fully recover, and second, to let the situation escalate for a while longer."
In Kawasaki's mind, Shisui may not be very clever, but his abilities are truly strong.
Moreover, Shisui is still young and has a lot of room for growth.
The Sharingan is a huge burden for Shisui now, and he cannot use the Susanoo casually.
However, if used properly, Kotoamatsukami can be an excellent aid.
"Vice Clan Chief! You're here! Zhishui, how's your recovery going?"
The newcomer was named Uchiha Yaoyue, and he was considered one of the more obedient members of the faction.
A week ago, Kawasaki gave the Hokage's side a hard time, and since then, Yaoyue has greatly admired Kawasaki.
Chapter 14 The Hyuga Clan!
Interestingly, his younger brother was Uchiha Keimei.
One is carefree and easygoing, the other is quick-witted; it's hard to imagine that two people with such different personalities are brothers.
The Third Elder simply handed him over to Kawasaki to do, and his purpose in coming here was to inform him of the attack on the guards.
"That's the situation. Strangely, a member of the Hyuga clan was involved, and they almost didn't have time to send out a warning signal."
"Indeed, the Hyuga clan is no match for us Uchiha. Without Uchiha guards stationed there, they were immediately attacked."
Kawasaki ignored Yaoyue's boasting; he knew in his heart why he was still attacked even with the Byakugan.
While the white eye has an extremely long viewing distance, it is not an all-around extremely long viewing distance.
The visible distance is different when focusing on a certain direction versus observing from all angles.
When members of the Hyuga branch family use their Byakugan to look into the distance, they habitually turn their bodies to observe.
This is because their first thoracic vertebra has a visual blind spot to the rear, and they are used to using the perspective in front of them when looking into the distance.
If someone's line of sight could suppress them, they would be able to see the Hyuga clansmen turn around.
The viewing distance of the Hyuga Byakugan depends on the purity of the Byakugan and the user's strength.
The only one who can suppress Hyuga Morisuke in this aspect is the head of the main family's eyes, who are at the Jonin level.
Since the presence of Kirigakure is evident, this matter is most likely the work of Kirigakure's Ao.
Because the Hyuga clan only lost one of their main Byakugan during the Third Shinobi World War.
Last time, Ao attempted to cause trouble in Konoha, but was scared off by Shisui's genjutsu. He is a very cautious person.
"Now that Hyuga Hizashi has reported to the Third Hokage, Vice Clan Head, do you think the Hyuga clan will ask our Uchiha clan for help?"
Kawasaki looked at Yaoyue with a hint of amusement. Although he was already a Jonin with three tomoe, he would definitely be a commander-level figure in other ninja clans.
Yaoyue is simple-minded. Although she was promoted to Jonin due to her performance in the war, she actually earned it through her own strength and has almost never commanded other squads.
In his view, if the Uchiha clan could do something well, other ninja clans couldn't, so they would naturally come to him for help.
Because in Yaoyue's eyes, the Uchiha were the most powerful.
"They will definitely come, but we won't get involved in this mess again."
"Yaoyue, go and invite the clan leader to the meeting room. Tell him I'll be waiting for him there."
"Yes, Vice Chief!"
Yaoyue was very excited, guessing that the deputy clan leader might have a plan of action.
Watching Yaoyue's hurried departure, Kawasaki waved his hand and said, "Shisui, get ready. We might need you in a few days."
Shisui touched his eyes and nodded resolutely.
...
When Kawasaki arrived at the conference room, Fugaku was already waiting there.
Kawasaki, what do you think about this?
The message was sent by someone sent by Fugaku.
"The Hyuga clan is competent as the outer guard unit; this attack was an accident."
"Because their split-family white eyes have a defect, this defect causes problems in their usage habits."
Kawasaki then explained to Fugaku the blind spots caused by the white-eyed caged bird.
And how the purity and strength of the White Eye affect the reconnaissance range and visual distance.
At the same time, speculations about the attackers were put forward.
Fugaku suddenly realized why the Hyuga clan was attacked; it turned out that the Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family had such a flaw.
How powerful are eyes that can foresee the future?
Fugaku imagined it to be Kawasaki's kaleidoscope ability; otherwise, outsiders would not know such a secret.
"Kawasaki..."
Fugaku said earnestly, "The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan should not be misused."
"Otherwise, you will soon go blind."
Kawasaki nodded, it seemed that Fugaku truly trusted him: "Don't worry, clan leader, I know what I'm doing. Thank you for your concern, clan leader."
Seeing that Kawasaki understood, Fugaku nodded in relief.
"How will Hyuga handle this matter?"
"The Hyuga family only needs to send two branch family squads to completely solve this problem."
"But the Hyuga clan has a fatal weakness: they don't have enough manpower!"
The Uchiha clan has fewer ninjas than the Hyuga clan.
Because everyone in the Hyuga clan can activate the Byakugan, almost everyone in the clan can fight.
The number of people was naturally quite large.
However, the Hyuga main family will not leave the territory, and the guardians of the main family are also branch family members.
This reduces the number of available personnel by half.
Moreover, going out on patrol requires at least Chunin-level strength.
With most of their manpower allocated to maintaining order in the village, the Hyuga family is bound to be inadequate in terms of patrolling outside the village.
"Now that you are still the captain of the guard, the Hyuga clan will definitely come to you for advice."
"Then we can..."
