In fact, from the end of the peace talks during the day.

Since Kisame left the Hokage building, he has always felt that someone is watching him.

Telescope jutsu.

This is a kind of ninjutsu that Sarutobi Hiruzen is good at. Just using a crystal ball as the medium of the display screen, he can gain insight into all the happenings in every corner of Konoha, so as to monitor all the villagers in Konoha and master everyone's activities.

The Great toad Sage's telescope jutsu is even better. For hundreds of years, it has been dormant in a temple deep in Mount Myoboku, and can monitor the entire ninja world without leaving home, just like a chess player looking down on all the pieces on the chessboard.

After discovering that he was being spied on, with his ability, Kisame could easily use Chakra to isolate the other's peeping, and even launch a counterattack from far to punish them.

But he didn't do it.

Instead, he kept calm, instead he even let the entire process of meeting with Uchiha Fugaku, to be seen by them.

It was exactly as he expected.

The high-level Konoha was as weak as always, and they watched Kisame take Hinata away, but did not choose to stop it.

As for why, they have to ask themselves.

Hokage Office.

Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were staring solemnly at a crystal ball on the desk, watching Kumo messenger lead Hinata to ride the clouds and go away.

"Sure enough, Kakashi reported that there is something tricky, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and released the telescope technique.

"No, we can't let him take Hinata away."

Namikaze Minato said in a deep voice, stood up from his seat, and was about to use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to stop the Kumo messenger.

"Minato, don't be impulsive."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes as he stretched out his hand to hold his student's shoulder, and said earnestly, "The overall situation is the most important."

"Minato, don't forget, you are Hokage now. As Hokage, you must put the village's interests first at all times to maximize your interests, rather than acting out of anger."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also put his hand on Minato's other shoulder, and said to the latter with a serious look, "My teacher, the second Hokage Senju Tobirama, once said something: As Hokage, we must be ruthless when necessary."

"I see."

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze sat back down in his seat.

Since the end of the meeting, the three of them have been using the telescope technique to monitor the Kumo messenger remotely. During this period, they were also surprised to discover that Uchiha Fugaku kidnapped Hinata.

At that time, because they were not clear about Fugaku's purpose, the three decided to wait and see temporarily. As a result, they saw the astonishing scene of Fugaku secretly sneaking into the hotel and exchanging hostages with Kumo messenger.

"Minato, there is another reason why I disapprove of you blocking Kumo messenger. I think he has found out that we are monitoring him."

Seeing that the disciple was in a low mood, Jiraiya also took the initiative to raise this point.

"I also have this feeling."

Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed and analyzed the reason behind Kumo messenger's action, "The other party knew that we were watching, and he took Hinata away without fear, but he decided that we did not dare to take risks. This is indeed the case, destroying the peace treaty we just signed with Kumogakure for Hinata is too unwise."

Therefore, for the sake of hard-won peace, patience is even more necessary at this time.

"However, why is the Kumo messenger so interested in Hinata Hyuga, and even willing to exchange it with Uchiha Itachi, is it get the bloodline of the Hyuga clan?"

Minato calmed down, frowning in thought.

"Byakugan is not as good as Sharingan, and Hinata Hyuga is far worse than Itachi Uchiha. If Konoha has to lose one of them, giving up Hinata is actually the best result."

From Konoha's standpoint, Jiraiya conducted an analysis.

Although Hyuga and Uchiha have always been called the two giants of Konoha, in fact, the one who can really be compared with Uchiha is the former Senju clan.

Although everyone in the Hyuga clan has Byakugan, and the fighting power of the clan is generally stronger than that of ordinary ninjas, the biggest disadvantage is that their upper limit is low, and it is difficult for Kage-level powerhouses to appear.

At least as far as they know, Uchiha's Sharingan can be awakened to a Mangekyo Sharingan, and even further awakened to Rinnegan, becoming the same existence as the Sage of Six Paths.

Hyuga's Byakugan, on the other hand, seem to have no such potential.

In the past few years, the Uchiha clan has successively produced geniuses such as Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, and their status in the village has become more and more important, while the Hyuga clan has withered talents and is no longer able to compete with Uchiha.

Therefore, in the hearts of the three, for Konoha, Uchiha Itachi is more important than Hyuga Hinata.

"In addition, on the bright side, Uchiha Fugaku kidnapped Hinata in order to rescue his son, and we have already caught his action. We can use this to control him in the future, and then control the entire Uchiha family. This is a good thing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, and his words revealed shrewdness.

"Then, what about the Hyuga clan? Hyuga Hiashi should soon find out that his daughter is gone."

Minato hesitated.

"There is no other way, I can only feel wronged for the Hyuga clan." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"Looks like that's all it is for now."

Namikaze Minato finally convinced himself. Then, he pressed a button on the desk, and after a few minutes, Uchiha Shisui came to the office.

"Hokage-sama."

After Shisui entered the door, he knelt down on one knee and waited for Minato's instructions.

"Shisui, please go and ask Elder Fugaku to come to the office." Minato said with a smile.

"Now?"

Hearing that Shisui asked hesitantly. After all, it was very late, and the patriarch should have gone to sleep.

"That's right, I'm in a hurry to find him." Minato emphasized again.

"Yes." Shisui came back to his senses, responded quickly, and left in a hurry.

'Whoosh.'

Shisui shuttled on the roof of Konoha's building, and soon returned to the compound of the Uchiha clan.

Seeing that the lights in the patriarch's house had been turned off, he wandered back outside the yard for a while, and was about to bite the bullet and wake up Fugaku Uchiha when Fugaku's voice suddenly came out.

"Is it Shisui? Come in."

As soon as he allowed him, the lights in the room turned on, and the door slowly opened. Fugaku turned his back to the direction of the door and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Patriarch."

After Shisui entered the room, he knelt down on one knee and said straight to the point, "Hokage-sama is looking for you about something urgent."

When Fugaku heard that, he was shocked and murmured, "Have I been discovered so soon?"

When he decided to kidnap Hinata, he knew that things would be revealed sooner or later, but he didn't expect it so soon.

"I see."

He turned around, replied sternly, and strode out of the door, heading towards the Hokage Building.

The next day.

The Hyuga clan's land was brightly lit all night, and it didn't dim even in the early morning. Many clansmen entered and exited through the gate in a hurry, as if they were looking for something anxiously.

"Still haven't found Hinata?"

In the conference hall, Hyuga Hiashi paced back and forth, frowning and questioning an elder.

He had just came home last night and was about to go to bed when he was suddenly told that Hinata was gone.

Hiashi didn't care too much at first, thinking that Hinata didn't want to come home and hid in a corner of the village, so he sent some clansmen out to look for her.

But after a whole night of searching, after searching almost every place in Konoha, they still couldn't find Hinata Hyuga.

As Hinata's biological father, Hyuga Hiashi finally panicked.

"Patriarch"

The elder looked embarrassed, and just as he was talking, two members of the Hyuga clan were brought into the hall. They were the two who received Hiashi's order yesterday to find Hinata.

"What, you were attacked?!"

After hearing the story of the two, Hiashi couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and soon realized that Hinata had been kidnapped.

It's a pity that neither of the two clansmen could see the attacker's appearance clearly, because their strength was too far from the other party, and they were both brought down by one move.

Although Hyuga Hiashi is usually very strict with Hinata and often neglects her, she is his biological daughter after all, and she has the purest blood of the Hyuga clan in her body.

Who is it that sneaked into Konoha in broad daylight and kidnapped Hinata without them knowing it?

Just when everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pan, an Anbu came to Hyuga Hiashi.

"Patriarch, Hokage-sama wants to see you, it's about Miss Hinata," the man said.

"Have we alarmed Hokage-sama?"

Hearing that, Hiashi sighed, and said a few words to the group of clansmen, ordering them to send more people and continue to look for Hinata.

Ten minutes later.

Hiashi came to Hokage office, and before he could speak, Minato told him an extremely shocking news.

"Your daughter Hinata was taken away by Kumo messenger." Minato looked at Hiashi, and observed the latter's reaction as he spoke.

"Impossible!"

Hiashi was stunned for a moment when he heard that, then he decisively said "Hokage-sama, you may not know, but the envoy of Kumogakure was with me all day yesterday. He had no chance to attack the Hyuga clan and kidnap Hinata."

"You are right, he is not the one who kidnapped Hinata, because it's Uchiha Fugaku who kidnapped Hinata. In order to redeem his son Uchiha Itachi, he exchanged hostages with Kumo messenger. Last night, Kumo messenger got Hinata. After that, he left Konoha overnight."

Namikaze Minato slowly told Hiashi the truth. He paused and said with a look of regret, "Unfortunately, when I heard the news, it was too late and I couldn't catch up with the Kumo messenger, and couldn't save Hinata."

For the sake of the overall situation, Minato lied a bit.

"What did you say?! Did that guy Uchiha Fugaku do it?"

Hyuga Hiashi looked shocked, he clenched his fists, and the veins burst out on his forehead.

Minato did not answer, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

This was the plan that Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya discussed. Although they can conceal the fact that Fugaku kidnapped Hinata and frame the incident on Kumo messenger, it is not safe.

On the contrary, finding out the truth is not a bad thing, it can help Konoha to divide the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, and cut off the possibility of them uniting.

After all, during the campaign for the Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Hokage, the two clans have always stood on the same line, causing a lot of trouble for the Sarutobi line.

"Uchiha Fugaku"

Hyuga Hiashi clenched his teeth, his eyes were cold, and without a word, he rushed out the door to confront Uchiha Fugaku.

'Whizz.'

Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly appeared, and the two stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right, each extending a hand to stop Hiashi.

"Hokage-sama, what do you mean?" Hiashi turned around and asked coldly.

"Hiashi, Hinata was taken away by Kumo messenger, and it is impossible to recover her. For the peace of the village, the Hyuga clan has made a huge sacrifice this time. As Hokage, I will never forget this."

Namikaze Minato looked serious, and said solemnly to Hiashi.

Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen successively added:

"Hokage-sama has removed Uchiha Fugaku from the elder position and given him severe punishment. In addition, the police department will soon adjust it's organization, from the original Uchiha clan's dominance to letting half of the Hyuga ninjas in to get corresponding power."

Hiashi finally calmed down.

He realized that this was the best condition he and the Hyuga clan could get under the current situation.

Half an hour later, Hyuga Hiashi left the Hokage Building, returned to the clan, and ordered the search for Hinata to stop.

"Hinata"

He stood by the window, staring at the north in a trance, regretting for the first time. For his daughter, he seemed too strict and harsh before, and did not give her enough fatherly love.

Unfortunately, there is no room for regret.

Kisame did not take Hinata back to Kumogakure, but turned around halfway, flew directly over the sea, and landed on the sacred tree in Kirigakure.

"Hello, is anyone around?"

He changed back to his original appearance, knocked on the wooden door a few times, and without waiting for a response, he pushed open the door and walked in with a confused Hinata.

'Boom!'

A fist suddenly moved to his face, setting off a strong air current that almost blew the furniture in the room.

'Snap.'

Kisame quickly stretched out a hand, caught the fist, and said helplessly: "You don't have to welcome me so warmly all the time, right? Besides, don't scare the child."

'Huh?'

Tsunade, who was infront of him, hearing that pulled back her fist, only to realize that there was a strange little girl beside Kisame.

"Who is she?"

Tsunade frowned as her eyes fell on Hinata's eyes.

"She is the daughter of the patriarch of the Konoha Hyuga clan, Hinata Hyuga. I believe you can also see her Byakugan, aren't they very pure?"

Kisame squatted down, put his hand on Hinata's shoulder, signaled her not to be afraid, and introduced the little girl to Tsunade.

Tsunade was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she raised her voice loudly, staring at Kisame with a pair of blue eyes and asked:

"What did you say? The daughter of the Hyuga clan Patriarch?!"

Although she was used to Kisame bringing kids back from the outside, but Hinata's identity really surprised her.

"Don't shout, it's easy to scare the child. Hinata is very shy, and she's not very courageous, so she can't stand your loud voice."

Kisame reminded again, and patted Hinata on the shoulder and introduced Tsunade.

"Little Hinata, this is Aunty Tsunade."
