Danzo Strikes First

Two days later, Naruto and the others returned to Konoha. Of course, Kurenai had already returned to the team. After returning to Konoha and telling Jiraiya everything, Jiraiya was as furious as Yamato had expected. He almost destroyed the whole building.

"Damn bastard, why did you let Kyubi out if you don't want to?" Jiraiya was worried that the Kyubi would come back for revenge. Although he could seal the Kyubi again, if he sealed him, who would help Naruto? Who would continue to protect Konoha? Who would fight against Danzo and those corrupted higher-ups?

"It seems that Ryoha and the Kyubi made a deal back then. He gave Ryoha his Nine-tails chakra, and Ryoha promised to release him when he was strong enough."

Yamato lowered his head. Although this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, he didn't have the strength to stop it from happening, but he was still there. Therefore, in his opinion, this time he could not escape the blame.

"Oh right, Jiraiya-sama, Ryoha's strength has increased again. Not only has he awakened the eyes that surpass the Mangekyo, but he also has the First Hokage's Wood Release. He also has a terrifying Wood Release jutsu that can instantly drain a person's chakra and vitality.

"Not only that, his eyes will no longer have side effects and have become stronger. According to him, above the Mangekyo, there is a pair of eyes called Eternal Mangekyo, and this pair of eyes will not turn blind. It is stronger than Mangekyo, but it requires one to seize their sibling's eyes and transplant them to their eye sockets."

"Ryoha did not have any siblings, so it's unknown how he could obtain them. Not only did he awaken the eyes that surpassed the Mangekyo, but his new eyes were also even stronger than Eternal Mangekyo. It could be said to be the eye that surpasses all Sharingan, as he called it the Sharingan of the End. It was so strong that Sasuke, who only had the 3-tomoe, couldn't even open his eyes in its presence."

"This is really too troublesome. It seems that he is indeed the King of Darkness. His strength is improving at a crazy rate. He has solved the Mangekyo's eventual blindness issue and obtained a pair of eyes that surpass the Eternal Mangekyo. And there's also his Wood Release. This is troublesome."

Jiraiya was having a headache right now. He really didn't know what to do. Initially, with more than 90% of Konoha united under the same goal, he had just gained the strength to kill Ryoha. Now, a series of bad news immediately made his resolve sink to the bottom of the valley.

At the same time, Danzo and the other higher-ups also received the news. They immediately realized that they couldn't wait any longer. Ryoha was too dangerous, especially Danzo, who was so regretful that he almost wanted to kill him.

Why was he so greedy? He had provoked an enemy that was much more terrifying than Uchiha Madara. More importantly, Ryoha was only sixteen years old. There was still a lot of time. Who knew how far he would reach in the future?

"Everyone, we can't wait any longer. Jiraiya refused to use Hinata as bait, but now it's not up to him to decide. You don't want to die helplessly, right?"

"Ryoha has the Sharingan that is even more terrifying than Madara. He has the abilities of Wood Release, Shikotsumyaku, Nine-tails Chakra, and so on. If we don't force him to submit, we will all die. It's better to fight.

"As for Jiraiya, it doesn't matter. As long as we get our hands on Hinata first and then release the news, no matter how much Jiraiya refuses, he can only follow our plan. In Ryoha's opinion, he will be the part of us. "

Danzo was a crafty guy. He pulled Jiraiya into the mess without him knowing anything. The other leaders who offended Ryoha nodded. They immediately sent people to capture Hinata, and they had to catch him alive. As for Hiashi, he was not angry at all. He was a really "good" father.

Not only that, but he was also worried that the plan would fail. He even sent two Jonins from the Hyuga clan to help. If Hinata knew about this, she would be very sad. She had been treated like trash by his father since she was a child. Now, she had to experience that again. She really didn't know how to describe him. Sure enough, such a useless clan had such a useless leader like him.

"Hinata, what's wrong with you today? You seem to be in a daze?" They had just separated from Kurenai and were walking on one of the less busy streets. It was already evening now, so there were even fewer people. Looking at Hinata who was in a daze, Kiba asked worriedly.

Although Shino didn't say anything, he couldn't hide his concern either. The two were worried about the quiet Hinata.

Moreover, they also knew about how the Hyugas treated Hinata. Although she was the daughter of the clan leader, their treatment of her was not even comparable to that of an ordinary member of the Hyuga clan's main house, only slightly better than the members of the branch house.

"I'm fine. I just don't know why I feel very uncomfortable." Hinata's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. If not for the fact that both Shino and Kiba had excellent hearing and were used to her soft voice, just listening to her was enough to give them a headache.

"Woof, woof!"

Akamaru suddenly barked twice. When Kiba heard this, his expression changed. He immediately notified Shino and Hinata beside him: "Akamaru said that he smelled some people coming this way. Moreover, he can sense strong killing intent from them. We seem to be their target."

"Byakugan!" After more than two years of training, Hinata was still as shy as ever, but at the critical moment, she was very reliable. She activated her Byakugan immediately.

Hinata's Byakugan, which wasn't restricted by the clan's cursed seal, had very powerful eye power. She immediately recognized two of the people who were coming. The two were Jonins from the Hyuga clan. From the looks of it, she was their only target. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to bring the people of the Hyuga clan. Moreover, it was impossible for the people of the Hyuga clan to be there.

"Kiba-kun, Shino-kun, you guys go. They are here to find me." Hinata was a bit different now. She had inherited Kurenai's heart and braveness.

She immediately understood that the other party was looking for her. In addition, she had just learned about Ryoha's recent situation from Kurenai. She had already guessed that the coming ninjas were trying to use her to threaten Ryoha.

"What nonsense are you saying? We are teammates. Kurenai-sensi said that teammates must protect each other. One person's problem is a team's problem."

"She definitely won't allow us to be like Sasuke, who abandoned his teammates for strength. Or do you really think that we would immediately abandon you because of unknown dangers?"

Although Kiba was a bit arrogant and cocky, he was not comparable to Sasuke in this aspect. Shino, who was on the side, had been silent all this time, but his quiet footsteps showed his decision.
