Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 102 The Mastermind

At this time, the people from Kirigakure had completely stopped and concealed their bodies.

"What's going on there?"

Kaito poked Zabuza, who was also performing perception ninjutsu, with his elbow.

After all, he heard some not-so-nice words. If these people were really shouting Jashin, it would probably be troublesome to deal with.

'But I remember that Hidan was not very old, right? Was he born at this time?'

Kaito fell into some self-doubt.

'Could it be that Kumogakure Village came to the Land of Hot Water in search of the Jashin Cult? Although that cursed secret technique is indeed very powerful, it's a pity that without Hidan's immortality, isn't that just playing with one's life?'

"There are about 70 to 80 people besieging three ninjas. Well, the scene is a bit..."

Zabuza didn't seem to know what words to use to describe it and fell silent for a moment.

"Is it the resistance organization Fujie mentioned before that is besieging the Kumogakure ninjas?"

Ken, who also could only understand the situation through sound, also asked.

Ao waved his hand, motioning Kaito to come over.

"Kaito and I will go check out the situation. Zabuza, you will continue to confirm the situation through underground aural listening. Tamura, you set up some traps around here. The others remain alert."

Kaito jumped onto the tree where Ao was in just a few steps, and the two of them moved towards the battle site together.

In the dense forest, with the help of sparse moonlight and a few torches, the two were able to see the situation clearly.

There were a lot of tattered corpses lying on the ground, and dozens of civilians dressed in the same way were surrounding the three ninjas, constantly trying to throw hidden weapons and lassoes at them.

However, these attacks seemed a little ridiculous to the ninjas on the field.

The three ninjas on the opposite side just slapped their hands, and several besiegers were either killed or injured and flew away.

However, what shocked the other two was not the courage of these people.

"Konoha ninja? The Hyuga clan?"

Ao looked at the three Byakugan ninjas with some surprise.

However, when Kaito looked at it, his pupils suddenly shrank.

This is because among these three ninjas, the two older black-haired ninjas were both wearing white robes and Konoha forehead protectors.

One of the boys, who looked only a few years older than him, wore a forehead protector around his neck, as if to show off his uniqueness, and deliberately exposed his smooth forehead.

"Hyuga clan!"

Upon hearing this, Ao also looked at the forehead of the young man who was protected in the middle.

The two looked at each other and immediately thought of what Kumogakure had been looking for in the southern part of the Land of Hot Waters for so many days.

It was not the curse secret technique that Kaito had imagined before, but the bloodline of the Hyuga family!

This young man from the Hyuga clan who appeared in the southern part of the Land of Hot Water for unknown reasons, was not under the control of the Caged Bird Seal, so even if he was killed, his precious Byakugan would not be destroyed.

Given Kumogakure Village's desire for bloodline limits, how could they not be tempted by such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Kaito came close to Ao and whispered.

"Ao-sensei, the Hyuga clan actually showed up here, and there are only two guards. We can't let them get away."

What Kaito didn't know was that this young man from the Hyuga family did not come here voluntarily.

This is because the current commander of the Land of Fire and Lightning Front, Shimura Danzo, forced the Hyuga family to send out the main family members in order to divert the troops from Kumogakure Village.

Danzo not only ordered the other party not to leave the southern part of the Land of Hot Water, but he also revealed the news of the other party's presence in the Land of Hot Water to Kumogakure Village.

That's why Kumogakure Village was searching here so unscrupulously, and no Konoha troops came to fight against them.

After all, Danzo's original intention was to tie down this part of the Kumogakure troops.

As for the young man from the Hyuga clan, as long as he destroys his own eyes before being caught or killed, it would be a very good deal for Konoha.

Ao naturally wasn't going to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"This should be the target of Kumogakure. Even if we can't get it, we can't let Kumogakure have it."

Even though everyone was at war with Konohagakure, the two countries had never been friendly neighbors.

Ao continued.

"Kaito, you stay here and watch. I'll go get the others and try to take him down directly."

"Ok."

Ao said no more and left immediately.

Just when Ao left, Kaito saw that something happened to the three Hyuga ninjas below.

One of the branch ninjas was a little slow in his movement to protect the young boy, or perhaps because he was too casual, and was hit on the arm by a grappling hook.

This was not a serious injury and would not even affect his next actions.

However, the group of civilians suddenly cheered.

"Come quickly, Oda! Offer him as a sacrifice to Jashin-sama."

Then the hook was thrown into the hands of a man who was drawing circles on the ground with his companion's blood.

The three Hyuga ninjas seemed to have noticed something was wrong. The older branch ninja accelerated forward and pushed away several civilians who were blocking their way.

Just as he rushed to the man named Oda, the other party showed a weird smile on his face and licked the blood on the hook with his tongue.

The next moment, the middle-aged ninja slapped Oda on the chest with a powerful palm.

From Kaito's perspective, Oda's entire chest was sunken, and he flew out of a circle of blood like a cannonball, knocking down several civilians behind him, and he was deader than dead.

It's a pity it's too late.

The ninja who was protecting the young man from the main family just a moment ago suddenly had his chest collapsed strangely, vomited blood, and died instantly.

"No!"

When the young man from the clan saw his guard dead, he immediately cried out in grief.

The middle-aged ninja who rushed out earlier also hurriedly turned back to check.

Then veins popped out in the eyes of both of them at the same time, and they changed their previous casual attitude, became furious, and began to launch fierce attacks on the besiegers.

"It's over!"

Now Kaito, who was hiding in the tree nearby, couldn't keep calm anymore. The Byakugan can see 360° without blind spots, so there's no way he could hide.

Really!

Kaito suddenly lowered his head, and an Eight Trigrams Air Palm just flew over his head.

"You are the one hiding your true identity! You must be the mastermind behind this!"

The furious middle-aged ninja swung another Eight Trigrams Air Palm.

Kaito dared not stay where he was and quickly dodged again.

He could see clearly before that this middle-aged Hyuga man definitely had the strength of a jonin.

Before, it was only because the three people from the Hyuga family looked down on the attacks of these civilians and were unwilling to kill them wantonly that they failed to quickly deal with these enemies.

Now he is attacking with hatred, how dare Kaito take it head-on?

Besides, there is nothing much to explain now. Kaito was originally planning to take action against the Hyuga family's Byakugan, but now he is just doing it a little earlier.

"Die, little devil!"

Before the Hyuga ninja could rush to him, he was already attacked by a series of Eight Trigrams Air Palm attacks.

At this time, Kaito, who was in the air, still had no way to escape.
