Chapter 114 Jiraiya: Boss, Why Did You Call Me Here so Late?

Chapter 114 Jiraiya: Boss, what's the matter with calling me here so late? (4k)

"Could it be that the invaders are after the Hyuga clan's ninjutsu and secret techniques?"

Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi looked at the secret room where the Hyuga clan's ninjutsu and secret techniques were stored.

But the result was somewhat unexpected.

The ninjutsu and secret techniques did not show any signs of being stolen.

"What's going on?"

Hiashi's face changed slightly: "The ninjutsu and secret techniques were not stolen? Then what is the purpose of the invaders?!"

He frowned and began to check the remaining secret rooms.

Until the last one, which was the secret room used to store the secrets of the Hyuga clan.

"This..."

Looking at the dozens of ancient books lost in the secret room, Hiashi was slightly stunned.

The invaders made such a big scene and even broke into the forbidden area. Could it be that they were just for these ancient books that were more symbolic than practical?

As the head of the Hyuga clan, he had read those ancient books more than once or twice.

It is nothing more than the rise and fall history of the Hyuga clan from the Warring States Period to the One Country One Village Period, and there are also detailed records of various battles.

Of course, there are some dark things.

But that was the Hyuga clan during the Warring States Period. Even if it was announced, what does it have to do with their Konoha Hyuga clan?

"Could it be that there are secrets in those secrets that I haven't discovered?"

Hiashi was puzzled for a while.

However, the caged bird scroll, ninjutsu, and secret techniques were not stolen, only some secrets that had no practical significance were lost, which was a blessing in disguise.

After a final check to confirm that no other items were lost, Hiashi walked out of the forbidden area with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this time, the three elders of the main family, as well as the members of the branch family including Hyuga Hizashi, had already rushed from the mansion to the outside of the forbidden area after hearing the noise.

It was just because of his status that he could wait outside the forbidden area no matter how anxious he was.

Seeing Hiashi coming out of the forbidden area.

Except for the few people who were checking and treating the injuries of the Hyuga clan members, everyone else looked at him.

"Hiashi!"

The three elders of the main family came up impatiently and asked, "What was lost in the forbidden area? Is the caged bird okay?!"

Although he knew that the secret room where the caged bird scroll was placed had an exquisite seal, it was unlikely that the intruder would steal the caged bird scroll.

But as long as there was a slight possibility of theft, that was unacceptable to them.

However, facing the anxious eyes of the three people, Hiashi did not answer directly, but looked around at everyone present with a scrutinizing gaze.

He took in the different expressions of everyone.

The anxiety on the faces of the elders of the main family, and the deep fear hidden.

The confusion, anger, and joy on the faces of the branch family members...

It can be said that the expressions of the branch family members were quite divided.

Until Hiashi looked serious and looked at Hyuga Hizashi who was standing at the end.

His expression was very complicated, with both superficial uneasiness and anxiety, and vague relief and disgust.

"Hiashi..."

Hiashi's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: "Could he have done it?"

Although he didn't want to doubt his brother, as the head of the Hyuga clan, he had to put aside his personal feelings.

Whether in terms of motivation or strength, Hiashi is undoubtedly the most likely person.

"Hiashi! Come on, is there anything wrong with the bird in the cage?!"

The elders of the main family became more anxious when they saw that he was slow to reply.

They couldn't even suppress their panic, and their voices trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, the ninjutsu, secret technique and bird in the cage were not stolen."

Hiashi's thoughts were also interrupted, and he turned to look at the three people and explained: "The only things lost were some secrets."

After getting Hiashi's reply, the elders of the main family breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that the bird in the cage is fine, it's good that it's fine!"

The bird in the cage is the root of the Hyuga clan's main family branch system.

Once the bird in the cage is in the hands of outsiders, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Hiashi walked to the side of several ninjas who were being treated and asked, "How are the injuries of these clan members? And the traces of battle nearby..."

Ninjas will also obtain information through various traces, and infer various useful intelligence.

And the traces of battle at the scene are so obvious, I guess we can get a lot of information.

Maybe we can deduce the identity of the invader from this.

"Master clan leader."

One of the branch family ninjas stood up and said hesitantly, "Judging from the traces at the scene, the ninjutsu used by the invader seems to be Kaiten..."

The main family members, including Hiashi, couldn't help but show surprise when they heard it.

"How is this possible?"

Kaiten is the main family's secret technique, but how could the main family invade the forbidden area? !

"Wait!"

One of the main family elders came back to his senses and looked at the branch family member who was responsible for checking the scene with a suspicious look: "Are you sure you looked carefully?"

"Of course..."

One of the branch family members was about to explain, but the face of another branch family member with a worse temper became embarrassed.

"Are you suspecting that we are partial and corrupt?"

He interrupted his companion and said angrily: "But the wounds on these people are obviously caused by ninjutsu similar to Kaiten, and the branch family is not qualified to learn Kaiten!"

As soon as these sarcastic words came out, the faces of the elders of the main family changed instantly.

"You!!"

Obviously, their little thoughts were touched.

But looking at the silent family members, the suspicion and fear in the eyes of the clan elders were even greater.

Although the invaders only stole the secrets of the Hyuga clan, it also made the gap between the main family and the branch family wider.

After all, it would be extremely difficult to sneak into the Hyuga forbidden area in full view of everyone.

The most likely possibility is that the invaders themselves are from the Hyuga clan.

Either a branch family or a clan family.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting serious and depressing, Hinata Hizashi, who was standing behind, could no longer remain silent.

"Evergreen! Don't be rude to the elders!"

Hizashi stood behind the crowd and scolded him gently.

As he walked forward, the members of the branch retreated to both sides, making way for him.

It was completely different from the indifference he had just faced from the Zong family.

"The members of the branch family will temporarily withdraw from the forbidden area and seal the clan area. No one is allowed to enter or exit!"

Hizashi walked up to everyone, looked at the branch members and ordered: "Until the investigation is clear, no one is allowed to approach the forbidden area or leave the clan area."

"but……"

What else did Hinata Changqing want to say.

But looking at Hizashi's slightly frowning eyebrows, he had no choice but to lead the branch members out of the restricted area in the end.

Hizashi turned his head and met Rizu's eyes, and said in a neither happy nor sad tone: "I apologize to everyone on behalf of Changqing. He has always been reckless."

"But it would be too unreasonable to suspect a separation now."

Seeing the members of the branch family convinced of Hizashi, the elders of the clan also realized Hizashi's prestige in the branch family now, and they couldn't help but feel a little more fearful in their eyes.

Two years ago, no member of the branch family dared to disobey a member of the clan like he did just now.

But ever since Hyuga Hinata, the daughter of the clan clan, scolded the clan elders at clan meetings, and even openly opposed the caged bird system, the entire Hyuga clan began to change.

"Hizashi, you..."

"Hizashi would never do such a thing."

The elder of the clan wanted to say something with an embarrassed look on his face, but was directly interrupted by Rizu on the side.

Looking at his younger brother, Rizu's expression was complicated, but he still explained: "Although he has motives and strength, don't forget..."

"He is from a separate family, and Hinata Chosen can use the Caged Bird Curse Seal."

As soon as these words came out, the three clan elders looked at each other for a while.

Although his face looked ugly, he was unable to refute.

Branch family members who have been planted with the Caged Bird Curse Seal have absolutely no ability to resist against clan members who can use the Cage Bird Curse Seal, unless they are conducting a sneak attack.

As long as the clan members activate the Caged Bird Curse Seal, they can instantly subdue any branch clan member.

But Chang Qian has 360° white eyes that have no blind spots, and it is extremely difficult to successfully attack him.

And judging from the traces at the scene, they also had a brief battle with the intruders.

After pondering for a long time, Rizu continued: "The intruder deliberately chose this time today, is it possible..."

The face of the clan elder changed: "You mean, the people who invaded Konoha are also targeting the Hyuga clan?"

They originally thought that the people who invaded the forbidden area happened to encounter the God-given opportunity of Konoha being invaded.

But after Rizu's advice, are the people who invaded Konoha and the Hyuga forbidden area the same group?

This possibility is indeed not low!

Nizu nodded and glanced at Hizashi vaguely.

Seeing that there was no movement on his face, I couldn't help but frown.

"Hizashi, what do you think?"

Hearing the temptation in his brother's tone, Hizashi said calmly: "The possibilities of the situations you mentioned are not low, but you have also missed one possibility."

"Perhaps there are members of the clan who are colluding with the people who invaded Konoha, trying to obtain the secrets of the Hyuga clan."

"There may even be members of the clan who have joined them."

A member of the Hyuga clan is an accomplice of the people who invaded Konoha?

"This, this is impossible!"

A clan elder subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, he said with some uncertainty: "Maybe, it's impossible... right?"

Hizashi's idea was too bold.

Only members of the branch family dare to make such bold guesses.

"Whether it is or not, the possibility exists."

Rizu glanced at Hizashi one last time, then raised his head to look at the pale red moon.

He ordered in a very complicated tone: "During this period, let the clan members behave in a low-key manner outside."

"I will work with Hizashi to conduct a strict investigation on both the clan and branch families."

Konoha has been in a lot of trouble lately, and the storm is about to come.

…………

And at the same time Konoha was in chaos.

In a huge space bordering the ninja world, there are birds singing and flowers fragrant, full of vitality, tranquility and peace.

Compared with the chaotic and complicated ninja world, this place is like a paradise.

——Miaomu Mountain, the inheritance place of ancient immortal arts, is known as the three holy places together with Longdi Cave and Shigu Forest.

But a burst of noisy shouting broke the peace of Miaomu Mountain.

"Boss Fukasaku, why did you summon me here so late?"

I saw a tall man wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil", a red coat, and wooden clogs walking among many stone toad statues.

If you look closely, you can see a small green-skinned toad with a beard and white eyebrows squatting on his shoulder.

But its body gives people a temperament that seems to blend into nature.

This person and Ichiwa are none other than Jiraiya, who traveled to the ninja world, and Fukasaku Sage from Mt. Myouki.

I saw Jiraiya walking and yawning: "It's too late now. Why can't we wait until dawn?"

He is still collecting in Tang Country...

Oh no, I am looking for the child of destiny in the Kingdom of Tang!

However, the Child of Destiny was not found, but it was heard that a sect that believed in evil gods appeared in the Kingdom of Tang.

I was planning to take a good sleep to recuperate my energy and then go investigate again tomorrow.

As a result, he was lying on the bed and just about to fall asleep when Fukasaku Sennin used a counter-spiritual technique to take him to Mt. Myoboku.

"I'm sorry, little Jiraiya, I need you to come over so late."

Fukasaku Sennin also seemed a little confused, but he still explained: "This is the order of the great master, and there is nothing I can do about it."

When he heard that it was the Great Toad Sage who was urgently calling him over, Jiraiya's original unserious expression instantly disappeared and became serious.

"The Great Toad Immortal is so anxious. Could it be that he has information about the prophecy's son?"

Over the years, the reason why Jiraiya did not stay in Konoha was to travel around the ninja world.

In addition to not wanting to be bound by the inexplicable things in the village, he also wanted to find the son of prophecy predicted by the Big Toad Immortal.

In the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, a person will appear in the ninja world in the future, who can bring about a huge change in the ninja world. It can be said that he is a key figure related to the fate of the entire ninja world.

And that person is the child of prophecy, and he will become Jiraiya's disciple.

Jiraiya had seen the great toad sage's accurate prophecy ability many times, and he naturally believed in the son of prophecy he said.

It's just that over the years, he has been repeatedly frustrated in his search for the Son of Prophecy.

I once thought that Nagato, who had the Reincarnation Eye, would be the child of prophecy, but then I heard about Nagato's death.

Later, he thought that Minato would be the son of the prophecy, but Minato also died suddenly during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Although Jiraiya's determination to find the Child of Prophecy has not changed, it would be even better if there is new information about the Child of Prophecy!

Only by finding the Son of Prophecy can the chaotic ninja world be transformed, and can we hope to bring peace to the ninja world!

Just looking at Jiraiya's expectant eyes, Fukasaku Sennin shook his head: "I don't know, I fell asleep again after the elder informed me to take you here."

The Great Toad Immortal is not only forgetful but also very lethargic, and it often happens that he sleeps for several years at a time.

But every time it wakes up from its sleep, it can more or less obtain some future information.

However, something seems different this time.

"Little Jiraiya..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Fukasaku Sennin looked at Jiraiya who had a question mark on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just nothing important."

The elder didn't snore when he slept this time, but there was no need to tell little Jiraiya about this.

"It's really appetizing."

Seeing that Boss Fukasaku didn't want to say anything, Jiraiya finally just looked at it with helpless eyes.

Immediately he quickened his pace and soon arrived at the door of the hall dedicated to the Great Toad Immortal.

(Everyone can give a thumbs up to Menma’s character card, I really want Menma’s vest QAQ)

In the past few days, I have been accompanying him in the hospital. Listening to the coughs around me, I always feel that I am in danger. . .

It's really terrible.
