"Kakashi-senpai! Kakashi-senpai! Something happened!"
Early in the morning, there was a knock on Kakashi's door.
Kakashi opened his eye, dressed in an instant, and walked to the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Yamato was standing anxiously at the door.
"Yamato? What happened?" Kakashi asked puzzledly.
"Kakashi-senpai, it is not good. Something happened to Hyuga Taiga!"
"What?"
Kakashi was shocked and apparently did not expect such a thing to happen.
"What happened?" Kakashi asked solemnly.
"Hyuga Taiga went to perform a patrol mission last night, but after a long time, he still didn't return to the village. It is until the person who was patrolling next found Hyuga Taiga in the woods. However..." Yamato said as his expression turned unbearable.
"However what?" Kakashi asked.
"However, Hyuga Taiga was seriously injured. The most serious thing is that his eyes were actually plucked away!"
"His eyes? How could it be!"
Kakashi showed a look of horror, but it was just a moment. At this time, he thought of a person's name.
Orochimaru!
Hyuga Taiga is strong and there are only few people who can defeat him.
There are definitely not many people who can severely wound him easily, even gouging his eyes, and didn't disturb the Konoha's guard.
In this time, Orochimaru is one of them.
"Where is Taiga right now?"
"At the Konoha Hospital, Tsunade-sama is still healing him."
When Yamato just finished said that, he saw Kakashi disappeared from that place.
"Senpai! Wait for me!"
Yamato called out and quickly followed after him.
Konoha Hospital!
The red light on the operating room is still lit.
Standing at the door is Hayate and Yugao.
Whoosh!
Kakashi's figure quietly emerged.
Hayate and Yugao quickly stood up and called: "Commander!"
"How is Taiga's current situation?" Kakashi hurriedly asked.
Hayate and Yugao both shook their heads, making Kakashi's heart sink.
"Commander, Tsunade-sama is still taking care of Taiga inside. Taiga's eyes were snatched away, and his body was also severely injured. His situation is very critical." Hayate said.
Byakugan, the Kekkai Genkai of the Hyuga Clan.
It's not just a simple pair of eyes.
Losing eyes is a very harmful thing for the Hyuga Clan's members.
"How could this be?" Kakashi said with some self-blame.
Although he had thought that Orochimaru might do something to the Hyuga Clan, but during this time, so many things happened, so Kakashi had no time to think about it.
Moreover, even if he needed Byakugan, Kakashi thought that Orochimaru should also look for Hyuga Clan's main house member.
Hyuga Taiga is someone Kakashi has never thought would be targeted by Orochimaru.
After all, compared to Hinata, Neji, and Hiashi, Hyuga Taiga is the most difficult to hunt.
Moreover, inside Konoha, Kakashi believed that as soon as Orochimaru appeared, he would be able to discover him.
But he didn't expect that something would happen last night.
Kakashi then thought of something.
'That's right. Last night, Orochimaru must have known that Obito would come to find me, so he took the opportunity to take care of Taiga.'
'I am afraid that Taiga's mission to leave Konoha was also arranged by Orochimaru.'
After thinking about this, Kakashi could only blame himself.
He is really careless.
After being distracted by the masked Obito, he has forgotten about this thing for a while.
Although he had reminded the Hyuga Clan to be careful, Orochimaru was still able to get the Byakugan.
After all, against Orochimaru, the Hyuga Clan is probably helpless.
No one would have thought that Orochimaru would come directly to Konoha to get the Byakugan.
Kakashi felt regretful, but it is useless to fell regret at this time.
He is not a god, so it is impossible to know everything.
Moreover, his opponent is Orochimaru who is unpredictable and have a very high intelligence.
There are too many things that distract Kakashi at this time.
So it's too late to do anything about it.
What is more important right now is the safety of Hyuga Taiga.
Ding!
With a soft sound, the red light turned green.
The door of the operating room opened and Tsunade walked out alone.
"Tsunade-sama, what's the situation?" Kakashi hurriedly asked.
Tsunade showed a solemn expression and said: "He is saved for the time being, but his physical injury is too serious. I am afraid that it will take a lot of time before he can recover. The most serious one is the eyes injury. The loss of the Byakugan caused some damage to his mind. His Chakra also became a bit disordered. Although it has recovered for the time being, it may relapse later and needs to be observed for a period of time."
Kakashi was relieved when he heard this. 'It's good that he is fine.'
As long as he is alive, everything is not a problem.
"Thank you very much, Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade shook her head and said solemnly: "The most important thing now is to find out the one who attacked Hyuga Taiga. For the opponent to defeat Hyuga Taiga like this, his strength must be extraordinary."
Kakashi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Tsunade-sama, when Taiga wakes up, he should be able to tell us who the attacker is."
"Yeah, he should be able to wake up in another hour. At that time, I hope you can help to look after him and calm him down. After all, losing his eyes will probably hit him a lot." Tsunade said.
Kakashi nodded and said. "I understand."
Tsunade patted Kakashi's shoulder and then left.
At this time, several medical staff pushed out the hospital bed, and the one lying on it is Hyuga Taiga.
Hyuga Taiga's eyes were bloody at this time.
That pair of pure Byakugan has long since disappeared.
Kakashi was angry, but can only release a silent sigh.
In the white ward, Kakashi looked at Hyuga Taiga on the bed thoughtfully.
At this time, Hyuga Taiga's right hand moved, and then his mouth was slightly open.
Seeing this, Kakashi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Taiga, are you awake?"
"Comman...der, is that you?" Hyuga Taiga said weakly.
"It's me, Taiga. How do you feel?"
"Commander, my eyes..."
Kakashi can only stay silent upon hearing this.
Hyuga Taiga seemed to have also recalled what had happened before, and his face changed slightly.
"It's him! Orochimaru! He took my eyes! That hateful guy!"
Hyuga Taiga said, as his hands were constantly shaking angrily, remembering what happened before.
Kakashi sighed and grabbed Hyuga Taiga's right hand. He then muttered: "Taiga, rest assured, I will make you see the light again. I promise!"
When Hyuga Taiga heard this, his hands stop moving.
Tears slipped silently from his hollow eye sockets.
"Commander, I am sorry. I have ashamed you."
"No, it is because I didn't protect my subordinates."
Kakashi held Hyuga Taiga's hand, and the anger in his heart continued to rise.
'Orochimaru!'
At this time, in a dim basement, Orochimaru's eyes were wrapped with bandages.
"Sure enough, that special power seems to be developing. It's really interesting."
Orochimaru's cold laughter floated in the empty basement.
