Trouble

Guys, enjoy the weekend bonus chapter.

.....

Late at night, Naruto returned to his home, having run through the streets in vain. He hadn't intervened in the situation at the Hyuga clan as he had originally planned. Instead, he had been a silent spectator to the unfolding events of the original story.

It turned out that when the Cloud Shinobi Village leader attempted to abduct the sleeping Hinata from the Hyuga clan's residence, he was discovered by none other than Hiashi. The situation escalated swiftly as Hiashi swiftly dealt with the intruder, culminating in the Cloud Shinobi Village leader's demise.

Naruto couldn't help but wonder about the power dynamics at play. Was Hiashi exceptionally strong, or had the Cloud Shinobi Village leader been relatively weak?

Regardless, Naruto didn't view his efforts as in vain.

Back at his own home, Naruto removed his disguise and changed into his pajamas with meticulous care. He wanted to avoid any awkward situations in case someone unexpectedly entered his room and discovered his attire, requiring an explanation.

Lying on his bed, Naruto contemplated whether he had made the right decision by not intervening. He questioned whether taking a more peaceful approach might have been the better choice. Instead of letting the Cloud Shinobi Village leader meet his end, Naruto could have intervened to prevent further violence.

He knew that the death of the ninja leader would have consequences. Cloud Shinobi Village might use it as an excuse to demand justice from Konoha Village. Their goal was to obtain the Byakugan, and whether the hijacking of Hinata succeeded or not, the leader's body could serve as their bargaining chip. However, Cloud Shinobi Village was unaware of Hiashi's twin brother, who, as a branch family member, possessed the Curse Mark: Caged Bird, which would seal the Byakugan upon the death of the host. Their plan would ultimately be foiled.

Nonetheless, Naruto found it unsettling. The people of Cloud Shinobi Village had sinister intentions, yet they were attempting to hold Konoha Village accountable. He expressed his frustration with a cold snort, realizing that a village incapable of protecting its own citizens didn't deserve the unwavering dedication of its inhabitants. He was determined to leave the village.

As for Hizashi, Naruto's feelings were conflicted. He saw no reason to jeopardize his own safety for someone he barely knew. Konoha Village had failed to monitor Cloud Shinobi Village, allowing the leader to move about freely. Naruto didn't intend to take responsibility for their failures.

With a swift closing of his eyes, Naruto cleared his mind, ready to embrace sleep. He hoped that the current turmoil would settle, allowing him to continue his training.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Naruto drifted into peaceful slumber.

Meanwhile, Konoha Village was in a state of disarray. Hokage, who had retired to rest for the night, was abruptly awakened by a kneeling Anbu operative.

"Hokage, something has gone terribly wrong." The Anbu operative's agitation was evident as he inadvertently revealed his identity.

Hokage inquired, "What's the matter?" He knew that his son wouldn't rouse him from his slumber without good reason and felt a sense of unease.

Anbu began to recount the events, "There's news from the Hyuga clan. The leader of Cloud Shinobi Village sneaked into the Hyuga compound in the dead of night and nearly abducted Miss Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. In the ensuing confrontation, Hiashi-sama accidentally killed the intruder."

The description was relatively diplomatic, masking the fact that Hiashi had dispatched the intruder with ease, without any resistance.

"It was too dark to discern the intruder's identity, and confirmation came too late," Anbu added, his head lowered.

Hokage let out a deep sigh, realizing that this incident would not be easily resolved. With his extensive experience, he knew that this matter would not simply fade away.

"It's a troublesome situation," Hokage remarked. He sighed, saying, "It's just that this time."

"Why 'this time'?" Anbu inquired.

Hokage explained, "Because Konoha Village is currently in a precarious state. The old generation of powerful ninja has passed away, and the new generation, led by Kakashi, is not yet fully grown. Additionally, our relations with the Uchiha clan are deteriorating."

This was a critical period for Konoha Village, marked by uncertainty and instability. If a fierce conflict erupted with the Cloud Shinobi Village at this juncture, the village might find itself at a disadvantage. The former Nine Tails Jinchūriki, Naruto, was just a child, while Cloud Shinobi Village had two Jinchūriki in their prime.
