Chapter 51: Unexpected Frequency

Who is this person? How do they know my true identity?

Obito was taken aback, though thankfully, his mask concealed his expression.

This matter was no longer just about his agreement with Itachi Uchiha; the exposure of his identity was far more critical than anything else.

At that moment, Obito was no longer concerned about the fate of the Uchiha clan. With a fierce expression, he relentlessly pursued the shadow clone of Naruto, controlled by the Nine-Tails.

No matter who this person was or what abilities they possessed, anyone who knew his true identity could not be allowed to live through the night, even if that person were the Third Hokage himself!

"Just get hooked; I'll have some fun with you."

The Nine-Tails felt a surge of satisfaction as it noticed Obito chasing after them. After all, it had often been manipulated by those Uchiha guys; getting a chance to toy with Obito in return was quite a relief.

However, Obito, now fully serious, no longer held back his abilities. His Kamui appeared mysteriously, nearly capturing them several times.

With the Nine-Tails controlling this clone, enhanced by natural energy, and disregarding the clone's lifespan, it pushed the potential of this shadow clone to the limit, moving at speeds reminiscent of Naruto's initial mastery of Sage Mode.

To an ordinary ninja, this speed was almost impossible to perceive.

Of course, this didn't mean that the clone could unleash the full power of Sage Mode.

In fact, without the Nine-Tails' chakra being exposed, the shadow clone could only rely on its weak strength, sacrificing everything for speed. If caught, it would be doomed.

And judging by the current situation, even erratically dodging within the Uchiha clan, it was only a matter of time before Obito with his Kamui caught up.

"Minato, you need to move faster; don't let it happen again!"

At that moment, Minato appeared in Naruto's home, dragging Uchiha Izumi, who was bound by chains.

"Why would the Flying Thunder God mark I previously set be here...?"

Upon landing and quickly surveying the surroundings, Minato furrowed his brow, but it didn't take long for him to understand.

He saw the trident-shaped kunai resting on the table; his own Flying Thunder God kunai was unexpectedly in Naruto's hands.

When Minato had succeeded the Fourth Hokage, he had gifted a Flying Thunder God kunai to every major clan in Konoha as a backup.

Now, this kunai indicated that Hinata Hiashi was indeed aware of Naruto's true identity, making things simpler.

"The Flying Thunder God mark left by Naruto; if the Hyuga clan's position hasn't changed…"

Got it!

The Flying Thunder God mark records the user's chakra, and even if others learned the technique, they couldn't use someone else's mark. But for Minato, Naruto's mark was an exception.

After all, he had spent three months in dreams designing it for Naruto, and he was more familiar with both chakra sensing and the Flying Thunder God technique than Naruto himself.

Placing one hand on Uchiha Izumi's body, Minato adjusted his perception of the Flying Thunder God mark, and then the two figures vanished again.

"I'll review a bit today and sleep early; tomorrow I can see Naruto-kun and the others again," Hinata thought, focusing on her studies. Naruto's figure suddenly crossed her mind. Since he had asked her and Sasuke-kun to train together every day, she was delighted to spend time with him and improve alongside him.

"Little Hinata, could you take care of her for a bit?"

Lost in her thoughts, Hinata jumped at the voice behind her and quickly turned around.

For the Hyuga clan, even in the dark of night, everything was clear as day. Hinata saw Naruto lay a girl, tightly bound by chains, on the floor before vanishing from sight.

"Huh?"

Confused, Hinata looked at Uchiha Izumi lying on the ground. What was going on?

"Fortunately, the Hyuga clan is an ancient family; not much has changed since a few years ago." With his memories guiding him, Minato swiftly navigated through the Hyuga clan's corridors without making a sound.

"Who's there?" Not long after, Hiashi Hyuga, sitting in his room, suddenly opened his Byakugan.

Veins bulged at his temples; Hiashi's cold demeanor turned icy as he activated his Byakugan, capable of seeing through everything around him. He was shocked to find a rat had infiltrated his home once again!

He was still at home today; these small-time intruders clearly had no regard for the Hyuga clan!

This thought reminded him of a past incident that had brought shame to both Konoha and the Hyuga clan—when someone infiltrated their estate, and his brother, Hizashi, had managed to capture them, only to lose his life in the process.

Thinking of this, Hiashi, already filled with rage, stepped out of his room. Just as he was about to confront the intruder he had locked onto with his Byakugan, prepared to show them that Konoha and the Hyuga clan were not to be trifled with, he was stunned.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Having hurried back to the Uchiha territory after parting with Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha looked at the familiar street with confusion, a sense of unease creeping over him.

"It's not even bedtime yet; why is it so dark and quiet everywhere?"

Suddenly, Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling as if someone were watching him. He instinctively turned to look at the streetlight behind him—

Nothing was there.

"What's going on? Why do I feel so uneasy?"

This was the second time today he felt eyes on him. Clenching his fists, his anxiety intensified.

Without thinking, he broke into a run, deliberately avoiding the dark streets and turning into an alley, where he stopped.

Houses, walls, and the ground were all drenched in blood, and bodies lay motionless in pools of crimson.

The door was riddled with shuriken and kunai marks, each stained with blood, as if proclaiming their grim task had been completed.

Blood spattered across the walls was already beginning to dry, while more dripped slowly onto the ground.

"What is this... Uncle, Aunt, what happened to you?!"

Trembling, Sasuke stepped forward, fearfully scanning the surroundings. Upon seeing familiar faces, he was horrified and rushed to check on them, only to find they had already taken their last breath, the wounds on their backs bleeding profusely.

The young Sasuke was now in a panic, unsure of what had transpired. He stepped back in fear, when suddenly, a realization struck him.

"Mom! Dad!"

Sasuke sprinted home, the sights along the way resembling a hellish landscape filled with corpses, blood, and shattered homes. He couldn't comprehend what had happened to their peaceful clan from that morning!
