Chapter – 825 Uchiha-Hyuga Trouble

"Don't you dare mock the Hyuga!" shouted Ryuma in anger.

Ryuma's voice was very loud, and the few villagers who were not paying attention also looked, whispering among themselves.

Being a Jonin, Ryuma's hearing is naturally pretty good, so the whispering of the villagers does not escape his ears.

Since the decline of Senju, the Hyuga Clan has become the rival of the Uchiha Clan.

As members of rival clans, the shinobi of the two sides often look down on each other and sometimes get into arguments. However, the arguments have always been verbal and among the children or the lower-ranked shinobi.

Of course, there have been battles and challenges between the members of the two clans, however, the information about those challenges has always been suppressed by the leaders of the two clans as well as the Hokage faction so ordinary villagers are unaware of those challenges.

Hence, this is the first time the villagers have seen a Jonin of the Hyuga Clan being defeated by the Jonin of the Uchiha Clan in a public place in such a manner, on a street full of people.

At lower shinobi rank, the strength of Hyuga Clansmen is generally higher than the strength of Uchiha Clansmen, this is because the Hyuga are able to bring their Byakugan into play, however, the Uchiha are not able to do so much with their Sharingan. After all, everyone in the Hyuga Clan is born with the Byakugan at the time of birth, but that's not the same with the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha have to endure emotional setbacks in order to awaken the Sharingan.

However, as the shinobi rank increases, the situation becomes completely opposite. At the Jonin rank, the strength of Uchiha Clansmen is generally higher than the Hyuga Clansmen. This is because, generally only the Uchiha who have awakened their Sharingan can reach this strength, and because of suffering through emotional setbacks, they have a certain obsession with becoming stronger, which doesn't happen with the Hyuga Clansmen.

The senior management of Konoha is aware of this, therefore, they wouldn't have been very surprised by the result in front of them, but, the general populace of Konoha doesn't know this face, therefore, when they saw Ryuma being defeated by Shin, they were surprised and can't help but talk about it.

The news of Ryuma and Shin's fight spread through the streets of Konoha like wildfire as more and more villagers gathered to watch the entertainment.

The rumours naturally attracted the attention of not just ordinary villagers, but the Anbu and elite shinobi as well.

…

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh

On one side the Anbu team led by Hayate and Yugao arrived at the scene, on the other side, the figures of Kakashi and Asuma, as well as Kurenai, and Anko appeared on the scene.

Looking at the argument, Yugao said to Hayate, "We should step forward and stop them before this argument escalates any further."

However, before Hayate could respond, Asuma interjected and shook his head with a serious expression, "This kind of thing… it's best if Anbu doesn't interfere in it. Otherwise, the situation will become more complicated."

Kurenai said to Asuma, "But they are disturbing the others and spreading unrest… something has to be done about it."

Kakashi sighed lightly, "That's the problem." And explained, "Look at those two… they are members of the Konoha Police Force. If we or the Anbu interfere, they will put up the argument that we are interfering with the duties of the Konoha Military Police Force… This is their jurisdiction… our interference will also involve us in the quagmire… as such we can't act carelessly."

Their interference will be interpreted as the interference of the Hokage Faction. If they support the Uchiha Clansmen, then the Hyuga will be offended, however, if they support the Hyuga, the Uchiha will be offended. Therefore, they have to be very careful about what to do.

Although there is some tension between the Hokage Faction and the Hyuga Clan, it's still not so serious because that matter is primarily related to the main family of the Hyuga Clan, the members of the branch family aren't involved in this, and they don't want to do anything that will offend the branch family as well.

And let's not talk about the Uchiha Clan.

Before Shinichi returned, the Uchiha Clan was already very strong because of the presence of Shisui. And now that Shinichi has returned, the strength of the Uchiha Clan has increased. Along with their strength, their arrogance has naturally increased, therefore, dealing with them is not so easy either.

Anko shrugged, and said, "The Uchiha won't relent, and that Hyuga kid doesn't seem to be capable of dealing with the two of them. So, you better think of something, or else this is going to escalate."

Everyone couldn't help but nod at Anko's words, but no matter what they thought about it, they couldn't come up with any way to solve the situation without involving the Hokage Faction in this. So, they decided to wait and watch for a while.

…

On the streets

As more and more villagers arrived at the scene, Ryuma realized that he couldn't continue this argument. Not only his reputation but even the reputation of his clan will be damaged.

With this in mind, Ryuma restrained his anger, and said, "We will settle this matter some other time."

Shin chuckled mockingly, "Humph what a pussy… already gave up, some dragon you are. Although I am quite curious, how are you going to settle this matter some other time? After all, you are all talk… you can only bark, you have no bite…"

Ryuma was angered upon hearing Shin's mocking words, "You!"

Shin smirked at Ryuma's anger, and asked, "What? You still wanna have a go?" He was obviously trying to agitate Ryuma.

Accepting the fact that he won't be able to defeat Shin, Ryuma took a deep breath to calm himself and turned around to leave.

Seeing Ryuma about to leave, Shin shouted, "Hey pussy… where do you think you are going?"

Ryuma said, "That's none of your concern!" and continued to walk.

Shin smirked as appeared before Ryuma, and said, "You seem to have forgotten something… I didn't say that you are allowed to go."

Ryuma frowned, "Do I still need your permission?"

Shin shrugged, "Although you are not capable enough, you are a Jonin nonetheless and should be clear about the security regulations. You attacked the members of the Konoha Military Police Force in broad daylight and disrupted our work of maintaining order in the village… For this, you have to come with us to the police station for further questioning… So, are you going to walk yourself, or should I help?"

Ryuma was angered, "Now you are intentionally making things difficult."

"Intentionally making things difficult?" Shin smiled ignorantly, and said, "Do you think that just because you are a member of the Hyuga Clan you are free to do whatever you want? So, shut your trap and come with us… Of course, if you want to resist, I don't mind giving you a hand."

Enji chuckled, "But you don't have to be too worried… I will make sure to send a letter to your Patriarch and ask him to come to the Police Station in order to free you after we are done figuring out your intention behind disrupting the order of the village."

Ryuma knew that the two Uchiha were intentionally creating trouble using false accusations. If he went with them, it would imply that their accusations are true.

Realizing that he had no other choice, Ryuma activated his Byakugan and prepared for a fight.

Seeing Ryuma's action, Shin's smirk widened, "So, you have chosen to resist, huh?" he activated his Sharingan, and said, "The outcome isn't going to change."

…

On the other side.

Kurenai frowned, "Now they are going too far!"

Asuma was also displeased, "It seems we are left with no choice but to interfere."

"But if we are going to interfere… we need to come up with a solid excuse." Said Kakashi, and added, "If we stop the two of them, it will create discord with the Uchiha Clan, and I doubt they will allow this matter to slide easily."

Just when everyone racked their brain to figure out what excuse they could use, suddenly, Anko smiled and said, "Maybe we won't need to interfere after all… Look there… he has come."
