Now that it is said that Hyuga Neji has defected, everyone's first reaction is of course disbelief.
Even Danzo's first reaction when he heard the news was that his ninjas were playing tricks on him.
But soon, the news was confirmed, and Danzo had to believe it even if he didn't believe it. He immediately came to Hinata's house and found Hinata Hinashi.
"Hizu, Hyuga Neji followed the rebel nin Mizuki and left the village. The news has been confirmed. It can be confirmed that Neji has defected and chose to go to Phoenix Village."
"Such a traitor cannot be allowed to continue living in the ninja world."
"I order you to immediately activate the Caged Bird Curse Seal and kill Neji."
Of course, Hyuga Hizu was unwilling to be ordered to kill his own nephew.
Even if the relationship is not good, they are still my relatives.
"Danzo-sama, Neji has left Konoha, but whether he defected or not remains to be confirmed."
"Besides, Ningci is young. Even if he defected, he would have been bewitched by Mizuki. We have to give young people a chance to change their ways."
"So I think sending a ninja team to recover Neji is the most important thing at the moment."
Danzo snorted: "Why, don't you even listen to my orders?"
Hizu said: "It's not that I don't listen, but killing the ninjas in the village requires personal approval from the Hokage."
"If we kill Neji rashly, we won't be able to bear this responsibility when the Hokage comes back."
Danzo shouted: "Every traitorous ninja will be punished. Just do it. I will explain it to the Godaime."
Nizu: "Can't do it!"
"If Danzo-sama feels that Neji must die, then please send the root ninja to hunt him down."
"I will not take action until the Fifth Hokage gives the order."
"You..." Danzo's breath hitched.
Damn it, uncle, let me send Genbu to chase and kill you, you can say this!
With Shuimu here, no matter where you go, you will be killed. You think I am stupid!
"The Godaime left the village to implement a secret plan. Now Konoha is in charge. My orders are the highest orders and you must execute them."
Danzo began to use force to suppress Nichizu.
Hidashi didn't show any weakness and said: "The Godaime is not around, but there are still two advisors in the village, as well as Lord Jiraiya."
The meaning is very straightforward. You said that Konoha is yours to decide. Who do you think you are?
After all, the Hyuga clan is also the most wealthy family in Konoha, and they are still capable of resisting power.
It can be seen from the lack of Byakugan at the base that Hinata has never been empty of Danzo.
Danzo's face darkened, he turned around and left angrily.
Hizu stared at Danzo with his white eyes until he saw Danzo leaving the Hyuga clan.
"Hmph, you are an old dog who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He still wants to sit on my head and poop and urinate on the head of my Hinata family. He doesn't care about his own virtue."
"In the past, everyone let you go because of the third generation's face. Now that the third generation is dead, you are nothing."
Danzo left the Hyuga tribe angrily, cursing as he walked: "Damn Orochimaru, he went to the Grass Ninja Village to cause trouble, why haven't you come back for so long?"
"And the damn Hyuga clan, sooner or later you will be the same as the Uchiha clan."
The three of Mizuki and Mizuki left Konoha and headed west.
In the dark night, walking on the forest path, the surroundings are very quiet.
Suddenly, a shrill meow sounded.
Hizashi immediately opened his Byakugan and looked towards the place where the cry came from.
He had just been resurrected and was full of curiosity and freshness about everything around him. There was some disturbance, and he wanted to take a look.
After reading it, he still wanted to sigh.
"What an awesome cat!"
In his field of vision, a fat orange cat with a bow on his head was fighting with a python as thick as a bowl.
Logically speaking, a cat should have no chance of winning against such a big snake.
But the result was beyond Hizashi's expectation. The cat was extremely flexible and moved very fast.
The cat easily dodged every attack from the snake.
However, the snake cannot dodge the cat's attack.
I saw it leaping into the air, flashing in front of the snake's head, adjusting its body shape, shooting out more than a dozen claws in one second, and firing its bow left and right, making a "snap" sound when it hit the snake's head.
By the time the cat landed, the python had already been beaten unconscious.
"This is not an ordinary cat, this is a ninja cat." Hizashi saw chakra in the cat's body.
Seeing that Hizashi was looking at it with great interest, Neji was so curious that he opened his eyes and looked over.
"Hey, isn't this the pet cat of the Daiming Lady? After the Daiming Lady died, it should have been taken back to the Daming Mansion by the Daiming. Why is it here?"
"It didn't have chakra before, but now it has it. What's going on?"
Mizuki also became interested.
The name of Mrs. Dai Ming's cat is Xiaohu, if I remember correctly.
"A ninja cat with chakra? Well, I remember that the Uchiha clan has a close connection with the ninja cat clan."
"Why don't you take this cat back and give it to Sasuke? Maybe you can return a more useful psychic beast."
There are only three powerful psychic beasts in the ninja world.
But Mizuki didn't like it.
In fact, the animal path among the six paths of the samsara eye can be used to channel psychic beasts exclusive to the samsara eye.
Such as chameleons, hellhounds, rhinos, etc.
But Mizuki was not interested in those psychic beasts. They were not powerful and were not as powerful as the toads in Miaomu Mountain.
If you want to get a powerful psychic beast, you must either go through the three holy places or return it through the system.
Compared with the three holy places, system returns are uncertain, but the upper limit is definitely higher.
"Sasuke will probably like this cat."
Shuimu raised his hand and shouted: "Wanxiang Tianyin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat orange with a bow on its head flew out of the forest. It was confused and didn't know why it was flying in the air.
The next moment, it fell into Mizuki's hands.
"Meow!"
Accompanied by a shrill roar, the cat's claws scratched Mizuki's handsome face.
"Be honest with me!"
Chapter 85: Danzo's idea
Mizuki grabbed the cat by the back of its neck.
Be honest now!
The group continued westward and disappeared into the night.
After a while, a python as thick as a bowl emerged from the grass on the roadside. It was the unlucky snake that was bullied by the cat just now.
It glanced at the direction Mizuki and the others were leaving, then turned and swam towards Konoha.
Arriving outside Konoha Village, the python stopped and opened its mouth.
A dry hand stretched out, then an arm, a head, and a body.
This is a toothless old woman in her late seventies, but her pupils are snake-like vertical ones, and she looks very cold-blooded.
"Finally back!" The hoarse voice was highly recognizable.
Anyone who has heard this voice will never forget it.
Orochimaru!
He encountered Mizuki in the Grass Ninja Village and was drained of his life force, leaving him with only 3 hours left to live.
He was not in a hurry at that time, he just needed to wait for a suitable person to take his body.
But I waited and waited, but no one came.
Just when 3 hours were about to pass and his life was about to come to an end, an old woman finally entered the house.
Better to die than live!
Although Orochimaru disliked the old woman for being too old, in order to avoid death, he could only use the art of immortal reincarnation on the old woman.
At any rate, I can still survive for a few more years.
You only need to wait 3 years for the immortal reincarnation to cool down, and then you can find a young body again.
So, he became what he is now.
He glanced westward and murmured:
"Mizuki actually came to Konoha and took away Hyuga Neji, the genius of the Hyuga family. Doesn't he know that the Hyuga family has the Caged Bird Curse Seal?"
"And the person who covered his face, I seemed to hear Hyuga Neji calling his father."
"Hyuga Hizashi, didn't he die a few years ago?"
"Could it be that Shuimu also mastered the art of reincarnation from dirty soil? But why did I feel the heat in that person that only a living person can have?"
Snakes sense heat extremely sensitively and unerringly.
This also caused Orochimaru to be unable to figure it out.
He was familiar with reincarnation from filthy soil. People reincarnated from filthy soil were still dead and their bodies were cold.
"Hyuga Neji has recognized his godfather? Is Hyuga Hizashi dead? Or is Hyuga Hizashi resurrected from the dead?"
Orochimaru had various guesses in his mind, but they were limited to guesses.
He didn't know what the truth was.
"We must investigate clearly. It's not too late to send people back to the village now."
He walked towards the entrance of the village, and at the same time reached out to his face, grabbed the skin and pulled it down, revealing the pale skin underneath.
In just a few steps, he transformed from a stooped old woman into a young Orochimaru again.
Of course, he only looks young on the outside, but in fact, his body is still that of an old woman, old and decayed, and he dare not walk fast.
He returned to Konoha and entered the Hokage's office.
Danzo found him immediately.
"Orochimaru, as the Fifth Hokage, you are not in charge of the overall situation in the village, but you left the village alone without saying a word. Do you have a sense of responsibility?"
"What will happen to Konoha if something happens to you outside?"
Orochimaru said coldly: "Duanzo, you don't need to ask me what I do."
Danzo was speechless, then changed the subject and accused: "Do you know that during the time you left, something big happened in Konoha. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a big mistake, otherwise you would be Konoha's sinner."
Orochimaru said calmly: "Since it didn't lead to a big mistake, it's not a big deal."
"You..." Danzo opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it, if nothing else, just get out."
Danzo: "Mizuki entered the village and took away Hyuga Neji. You immediately ordered Hinata Hizatsu to execute Hyuga Neji with a caged bird."
"In addition, Mizuki also took away an unidentified person. We need to conduct a village-wide investigation to find out the identity of that person."
Orochimaru glanced at Danzo and said: "Mizuki-kun is not a stupid person. Since he took away Hyuga Neji, it means that he has a way to restrain the caged bird."
"As a genius of the Hyuga family, Hyuga Neji must have the confidence to dare to follow Mizuki openly."
"So I think that even if Hizashi activates the caged bird, he may not be able to kill Hyuga Neji."
It must be said that Orochimaru reacted quickly.
