Just then.
Hiashi Hyuga suddenly said, "Lord Mizukage, it seems there is a ninja in your Hidden Mist Village named Ao. It is said that he once obtained a Byakugan from the Hyuga clan. He is now a high-ranking wanted criminal in our Hidden Leaf Village. We hope that you will hand him over to our Hidden Leaf Village for disposal, or return the Byakugan to our Hyuga clan!"
In the original story, Ao once saw through Danzo's chakra flow during the Five Kage Summit and knew that the latter had Shisui's Sharingan and was a ninja skilled in gathering intelligence.
In this regard.
Hiashi once suggested to the Third Generation that they use diplomatic means to get Ao to return the Byakugan, but all their efforts were in vain.
Mei Terumi realized this as well, which is why she didn't bring Ao to Konoha. She chuckled and said, "First of all, Ao's Byakugan was obtained on the battlefield. It wasn't stolen or robbed; the acquisition was perfectly legitimate, and it's a spoil of war!"
"Secondly, the value of a single Byakugan is far less than that of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse). I hope Konoha will not change the subject!"
Shikaku said, "Lord Mizukage, you can't say that. You're trying to mislead us!"
now.
Xuan Ye tapped the conference table with his finger and said, "Lord Mizukage, there is no way we can hand over Kaguya Nagazora. If you really think there's a problem, we can settle it with our subordinates!"
"Oh?" Mei Terumi's expression gradually turned cold as she continued, "Does the Hokage perhaps wish to antagonize Kirigakure for the sake of Kaguya Nagazora?"
"That depends on the attitude of your Hidden Mist Village." While thinking, Genba asked Nami to pour him some tea, and then continued, "We in Konoha don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!"
The voice was firm and powerful.
All eyes in the room fell on Mei Terumi.
It seems they are waiting for her to make a decision.
Konoha is now experiencing a booming development.
If we force a war with Konoha...
This could cause the situation in Kirigakure to deteriorate drastically.
Genba realized this.
That's why they are so fearless.
Chojuro looked at Mei Terumi with unease. Although she seemed easygoing and cheerful on the surface, she was actually a very capable person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the leader of Kirigakure.
Chojuro was also afraid of the outbreak of war.
Surprisingly, Mei Terumi burst into laughter and said, "The Hokage is truly courageous, not backing down at all. I've heard that Konoha is full of talented people, so why don't you let us country bumpkins from Kirigakure see what we're made of?"
“We will each send three people, and the game will be a best-of-three match. If we win, we will give Kirigakure 1000 million taels as compensation. If we lose, we will forgive and forget.”
"Or you can refuse this condition, but I can't say how the relationship between Kirigakure and Konoha will change then!"
“No problem.” Xuan Ye nodded.
Since the other party wants to test Konoha's strength.
Then let them test the waters.
Seeing Genba so readily accept the challenge, Mei Terumi smiled. The ninjas brought by Kirigakure this time were all very strong, and she was very confident. In addition, it was a sure-fire deal, so there was nothing to worry about.
If the opportunity arises, Mei Terumi would like to see for herself whether Genba is really that powerful.
Thinking about this...
She unconsciously licked her pink lips.

After the people from Kirigakure were settled, Genba and the others discussed the upcoming matches in the Hokage's office!
Xuan Ye sat on the sofa and asked casually, "Advisors, what are your thoughts on this competition?"
As the chief advisor, Shikaku spoke first, saying, "In this match against Kirigakure, the opposing team has a small number of participants, so they require our ninjas to meet certain age restrictions. We need to exchange lists and determine the final ninjas and order before the match can begin!"
“I think Itachi could be one of the candidates to participate in the competition!” Fugaku said from the side.
Although Itachi hasn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, he has awakened the three tomoe and has initially mastered the "Flying Thunder God Technique," so his strength has at least reached the level of an elite Jonin.
Among the Uchiha, besides Genba, Fugaku, and Shisui, Itachi is probably the strongest, so sending him into battle is not a problem at all.
Genye nodded and said, "We can trust Itachi's strength. Are there any other candidates?"
Hiashi then chimed in, "I think Hyuga Kaito from our Hyuga clan is also quite good; he could be one of the candidates for the competition!"
These kinds of matches are opportunities to make contributions to Konoha and to impress the higher-ups.
Although Hyuga Kaito hasn't been performing very well lately, he is one of the most powerful geniuses in the Hyuga clan right now, and his strength is trustworthy.
Xuan Ye stroked his chin and nodded slightly.
He had also heard of the name Hyuga Kaito, who was a member of the Anbu and had performed exceptionally well.
Xuan Ye glanced at everyone and said, "Then let Kaguya Chang Kong prove herself for the last spot!"
Kaguya Sora is quite powerful, and since this whole affair started because of him, let him be the one to end it.
Everyone nodded in agreement, finding it to be true.
Looking at Nami, who was dressed in professional attire in the distance, Genye said, "Nami, later you should have someone send over our list of participants and their order. We can also see who is participating in the competition so that we can determine the final participants and their order."
"Yes, Hokage-sama," Nami replied, then left the conference room in her high heels.
...
After returning to the Hyuga clan, Hiashi immediately sent Hyuga Kaito to find him.
Hyuga Kaito arrived, his attitude humble and his tone respectful as he asked, "Clan Chief Hiashi, may I ask what brings you here?"
"Sit down!" Hiashi pointed to a seat. Hyuga Kaito hesitated for a moment before sitting down and said, "Kaito, although you are from the branch family, you are still one of the top geniuses of our Hyuga clan. Now you have an opportunity to prove yourself, and I hope you will cherish it!"
then.
Hiashi revealed his meeting with the Mizukage that day, indicating his desire for Hyuga Kaito to replace Konoha in the match.
Upon hearing these words, Hyuga Kaito smiled.
Japan believes that the opponent is happy to have the opportunity to perform.
Little did they know that Hyuga Kaito was plotting his own scheme.
Hyuga Kaito clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for this opportunity, Clan Chief Hiashi. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
"If you want to thank someone, thank the Fifth Hokage for the opportunity!" Hiashi shook his head slightly and said these words.
Upon hearing these words, Hyuga Kaito, who had his head down, looked so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. However, the moment he looked up, his expression transformed into one of gratitude, his change of expression incredibly swift.
"Come on, let me see if your strength has improved!" Hiashi stood up and then led Hyuga Kaito to the Hyuga clan's training ground.
The Hyuga clan already occupies a vast territory.
Therefore, even the training ground is very large.
Many other members of the tribe are also training.
It was evident that upon the arrival of the Japanese soldiers, they all stopped to pay their respects.
The Hyuga clan has strict rules and etiquette, and even the slightest transgression can result in punishment.
Therefore, when members of the branch family meet members of the main family, they show great respect, or rather, fear.
"Clan Chief!" Hizashi bowed, with eleven-year-old Neji beside him; they were training there.
Neji, of course, knew who the person in front of him was, and he followed his father in bowing.
However, although Neji is young, he has already shown amazing talent and is a well-known genius in the Hyuga clan.
Riji simply nodded slightly, as if to greet his younger brother and nephew.
Inside the training field.
Hiashi looked at Hyuga Kaito and said indifferently, "Kaito, go all out and let me see if your strength has improved!"
As an elite Jonin of Konoha, Hiashi certainly has the right to say such things.
Moreover, Hiashi naturally exudes authority and arrogance within the Hyuga clan.
"Clan leader, please forgive me!" In an instant, Hyuga Kaito activated his Byakugan, and bloodline wrinkles appeared on his face. The flow of chakra within his opponent's body was clearly visible in his retina.
Hyuga Kaito roared, his legs carrying chakra, and his body suddenly shot out.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Hiashi and struck several important acupoints, aiming to seal the latter's chakra.
As the clan leader, Hiashi could easily see through the other party's intentions. He also changed his palm into a fist and easily repelled Hyuga Kaito's seemingly fierce attack.
Hyuga Kaito's expression instantly turned serious. He did not underestimate the Hyuga clan leader and immediately used "Eight Trigrams - Chapter Sixty-Four"!
A violent palm strike, like a hurricane, surged forth and attacked Hiashi, unleashing more than a dozen palm strikes in just a second or two.
Japanese football immediately used the "Return to Heaven" technique.
The two soft fists clashed repeatedly, making "bang bang bang" sounds, and for a while they were evenly matched.
"Hyuga Kaito is amazing!" Neji, watching from afar, exclaimed, his fists clenched, looking extremely excited.
"Yes, Kaito is an invaluable asset to our branch family." Hizashi patted Neji's head and said, "Neji, you are your father's pride, and your future achievements will be even greater!"
"Yes!" Neji nodded happily.
The battle between the two has entered a fierce stage.
Hyuga Kaito and Hiashi were surprisingly evenly matched in their fight.
This was unexpected by everyone.
After creating some distance, Hyuga Kaito immediately used his own Gentle Fist technique, "Twin Python Blazing Sky Fist!"
He condensed fire-attribute chakra in his hands, transforming it into two long, fiery pythons that lunged directly at Hiashi, who unleashed the "Eight Trigrams Empty Wall Palm."
Two powerful forces collided in mid-air.
A powerful hurricane suddenly formed.
Ding Deng Deng.
Hyuga Kaito was ultimately no match for him and was sent flying backwards.
However, his clansmen quickly helped Hyuga Kaito up, and he came to Hiashi and said:
"The clan leader is indeed formidable. If he hadn't held back, I might have already lost!"
Hiashi gave a soft "hmm" and then said, "Your strength is not weak. I hope you can bring glory to Konoha and perform well in front of the Hokage."
"Lord Hiashi, I will!" Hyuga Kaito's tone was full of determination.
Upon returning to his residence, Hyuga Kaito's expression instantly darkened.
Hyuga Kaito did not intend to win this match.
He just wants Konoha to lose so they can pay him money!
and.
Hyuga Kaito has already planned to betray Konoha and has secretly contacted Iwagakure. Once Genba and the people of Kirigakure poison him, he will immediately defect from Konoha.
He couldn't believe that two Shadow-level experts were about to die at his hands, and his heart couldn't help but tremble!
Looking at the transparent, colorless, and odorless venom in his hand, a ferocious look flashed across Hyuga Kaito's face.
He said viciously, "Uchiha Genba, just wait to die!"
...
After Genye returned, he summoned Itachi and Kaguya Nagato to train together. As for Hyuga Kaito, he believed that Hiashi would handle it properly.
Recently, Itachi has been training in the Flying Thunder God Technique, which has greatly increased his strength and made him incredibly fast.
Normally, Kaguya and Itachi could fight each other to a 40/60 split, but after Itachi mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, the odds instantly dropped to 30/70 or 20/80, leaving Kaguya looking quite aggrieved.
Itachi approached Kaguya Nagazora and said earnestly, "Nagazora-kun, don't be discouraged. As long as you work hard, you can keep getting stronger."
Upon hearing these words, Kaguya Sora rolled her eyes.
Alright, alright.
Stop showing off!
then.
The two then began training under Xuan Ye's guidance.
