Chapter – 804 Hyuga Meets the Otsutsuki

Looking at the mountain before them, Hizashi nodded, "This is it." He took a deep breath, and ordered, "Since we are early, map the area, and check the surroundings."

The two guards nodded in unison, "As you command Hizashi-sama." And with a flash, both of them disappeared in different directions.

Hizashi didn't laze around, he too disappeared from his place and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Scouting the terrain, eliminating all the possible traps, and confirming the safety of the surroundings is very important for a Shinobi. A shinobi must ensure in advance that if things turn south, they have a possible retreat.

The location of the meeting is close to the Eastern border of the Land of Fire, the sea is close by. The top of the mountain is a good vintage point, on normal days, if the weather is clear, it is possible to see the sea.

With such intention, Hizashi arrived at the top of the mountain. Just one look and Hizashi was able to clearly observe the surroundings of the mountain. Hizashi has to agree that this is a very good meeting place since there are no enemy nations on this side of the Land of Fire, so the number of Konoha outposts on this border of the Land of Fire is not too many, additionally, there are no villages close by, so there is no way information about this meeting will be leaked.

After making sure that everything was fine, Hizashi disappeared and came to the meeting point.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

It didn't take long for the two Hyuga guards to return as well.

"Hizashi-sama, I didn't find anything unusual on my side." Reported one of the two guards.

"Same on my side. There was nothing unusual." The Hyuga guard gave a similar report.

Hearing the two, Hizashi had a thoughtful expression, 'I didn't find anything unusual either, this can mean two things. Either they have enough confidence in their abilities that they don't need to rely on traps, or, they don't have any ill intentions and they genuinely want to make a connection with us. I just hope that it's the latter.'

Although Hizashi hopes that it's the latter, however, he can't shake the feeling that something is off here.

Although distant relatives, the two sides haven't been in contact for several centuries. And now all of a sudden, they want to make contact with the Hyuga Clan? No matter how you think about it, this is odd.

Hizashi shook his head and took a deep breath, as he muttered, 'Now is not the time to think these things.'

Time passed minute by minute, and before they knew it, the sun had set and it was night.

Several hours passed and there was no sign of anyone showing up.

One of the two guards couldn't help but ask, "Hizashi-sama, no one has come till now. Are they really coming?"

Before Hizashi could answer, suddenly, the other guard pointed at the bright moon in the sky and exclaimed, "Hizashi-sama… look there… someone… someone is floating in front of the moon!"

As Hizashi and the other guard looked at the moon, their eyes widened in surprise as they a person hovering in the sky. The three people were beyond shocked.

In Konoha… scratch that… in the entire Shinobi World, there are very few people who have the ability to fly in the sky. As far as Hizashi knows, except for the Sandaime Tsuchikage, only the leader of the Akatsuki Organization and the leader of the Amatsukami Organization have this ability, so seeing another person with the ability to fly really shocked the three Hyuga.

The person floating hovering in the sky looked at the three Hyuga people indifferently, then asked lightly, "Who among the three of you is the current Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan?"

The words spoken by the person were very light, but without any problem, they reached the three Hyuga.

Although the person seemed to be a young man in his early teens, however, his demeanor didn't allow Hizashi and the others to underestimate the young man.

In response to the young man's question, Hizashi took a deep breath to calm his nerves, then took a step forward as he spoke, "I am the current Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi."

The young man looked at Hizashi in disappointment as he muttered to himself, "Is the strength of the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan only at this level? What a pity… it seems that living in the Shinobi World didn't prove to be fruitful for these people. Although we share the same ancestor, these people seem to have degenerated."

Hizashi frowned upon hearing the young man's mutter, however, he wasn't offended and asked, "May I ask your name and your identity?"

The young man replied, "I am Otsutsuki Toneri, the leader of the Otsutsuki Clan."

'Otsutsuki Toneri.' Thought Hizashi, then asked the young man, "Otsutsuki Toneri-san, what purpose do you have in making contact with us?"

Toneri's expression became cold as he ordered, "Return the Tenseigan, degenerates like you are neither worthy of possessing that treasure nor can you people ever hope to control it."

"The Tenseigan?" muttered the three Hyuga in dismay. This is the first time he has heard the term Tenseigan.

Toneri was displeased upon noting the expression of the three Hyuga. He felt that they were trying to play ignorant, and spoke, "Don't try to act ignorant, I have already met your servant once."

Hizashi couldn't understand what the young man was talking about. He felt that the leader of the Otsutsuki Clan was misunderstanding something and spoke, "I am sorry, I don't know what is Tenseigan, can you elaborate?"

"So that's how you want to play around? Well, this isn't out of my expectations." Muttered Toneri as he sighed in disappointment, and added, "The elders were right, reasoning with you people is useless."

Hearing the young man's words, Hizashi felt a chill in his heart.

From the very start, the attitude shown by the young man doesn't seem to express any intention of cooperation. He was looking down on the entire Hyuga Clan and asking to return something. But Hizashi is ignorant of what that something is.

Hizashi tried to reason with the young man… however, it didn't seem that Toneri had any intention of listening.

The two Hyuga guards on the side realized that talk wasn't possible now, and only a battle was awaiting them, so they rushed towards the young man as they said to Hizashi, "Hizashi-sama, let's go."

In response to the two Hyuga guards coming towards him, Toneri raised his hand, and muttered, "That's as far as you come."

As a result of Toneri's move, before the two guards could get any closer to him, both of them were suspended in mid-air and were unable to move.

Immediately after that, Toneri clenched his fist.

"Ahhhh….!" With a painful cry, the bodies of the two guards were crushed.

What Hizashi worried most has happened, and now there is only one thing he can do. Distract the young long enough so that the team following them from a distance has the opportunity to retreat and pass the news to the clan.

With this goal in mind, Hizashi ran, but his direction wasn't toward Konoha.
