Chapter 115 An Enemy You Can't Look At Directly!
When the first signal flare exploded within the Hyuga clan's territory, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately led his main force to set off.
Wearing his combat uniform, Hiruzen Sarutobi moved between the rooftops of the village, followed by ninjas from the third squad of the Anbu, as well as elite Jonin such as Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, and Inoichi Yamanaka.
It can be said that most of the Jonin from Konoha Village were mobilized, forming a powerful team!
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not underestimate his enemy and retained a portion of his ninjas as reserves, so that they could provide support should other areas be attacked.
call out!call out!call out!
One signal flare after another soared into the sky, exploding into crimson fireworks in the night.
"So many signal flares?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face beneath his helmet grew serious.
"Lord Hokage!" An ANBU ninja wearing an animal mask rushed from the direction of the Hyuga clan's territory and knelt on one knee on a house in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped and asked, "What's the situation at the Hyuga clan's territory? Has Shura appeared?"
Only a few minutes had passed since the signal flare was launched, but there was no explosion or trace of ninjutsu being used, which puzzled Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Fog has risen over the Hyuga clan's territory!" an ANBU ninja reported quickly. "Hundreds, even thousands, of enemies are attacking the Hyuga clan's territory within the fog! The Captain-Commander has already led reinforcements there!"
"It's foggy?" The first words from the ANBU ninja made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others beside him, such as Shikaku Nara and Hiashi Hyuga, tense up.
Given the time and climate, fog is unlikely to form; therefore, this fog could only have been released by the enemy.
The vast expanse of fog reminded everyone of the Mist Concealment Technique of Kirigakure!
Shura actually knows the technique of concealing himself in the mist?!
"And are there many enemies?" Nara Shikaku asked, glancing in the direction of the Hyuga clan's territory.
Did Shura bring a large number of people? Or did he use a clone technique like Shadow Clone Jutsu?
"The most urgent thing is to get there as soon as possible!" Hiashi Hyuga urged anxiously.
"Go!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted in a deep voice and charged out first.
The other ninjas followed suit.
At this time, within the Hyuga clan's territory.
The fog had spread into the council hall, where four main family elders and their families were being protected by branch family ninjas led by Hyuga Hizashi.
The four elders of the Hyuga main family also activated their Byakugan and saw dozens of figures approaching them from the mist.
"How is this possible!" The elders were filled with disbelief. How could so many enemies have infiltrated the Hyuga clan's territory?!
How did they get through Konoha's protective barrier?
How did she manage to evade so many patrolling ninja squads like Miyo?
Where were the patrol teams of the branch family ninjas within the Hyuga clan's territory? Why didn't they stop them?!
One question after another popped into the minds of the clan elders.
"Hizashi!" a main branch elder shouted angrily at Hyuga Hizashi, "What are you waiting for! Stop them now! Protecting the main branch is the duty of the branch family!"
Even the head of a branch family is no more than a lower-class person in front of the elders of the main family.
Risa had long been accustomed to the arrogant tone of the elders of the branch family.
He simply frowned and led the branch family ninjas forward to meet the enemy.
"Byakugan!" Hyuga Hizashi activated his Byakugan to its fullest extent, seeing the chakra pathways of these figures in the mist.
Hizashi then concentrated his chakra into his palms and used Gentle Fist taijutsu to meet the attack.
However, when the Gentle Fist struck the enemy, there was no physical collision, not even a shadow clone; it simply turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.
"What?!" Hizashi was shocked again, and attacked from both sides, quickly clearing away the surrounding figures.
"Damn it! These guys aren't even human!"
"It's not a shadow clone either!"
"What is this?"
The other branch guards, like Hizashi, noticed the strangeness of these figures.
Their all-out gentle punches felt like hitting cotton, leaving their concentrated chakra and spirit feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
tread!
tread!
Just as the sir was still wondering, a footstep came from the direction of the main entrance of the council hall.
Hizashi stared intently with his Byakugan, only to see two Hyuga clansmen lying on the ground.
But we didn't see any enemies, not even the same kind of figure we saw earlier!
tread!
But the footsteps were slowly approaching Hinoshita, the branch family guards, and the main family elders rolled their eyes, but they couldn't see anyone else in the council hall!
"Ah!" But one by one, the guards of the branch family fell down in front of them!
The enemy seemed to have vanished; even the Byakugan couldn't detect them!
boom!
The ceiling of the council hall was suddenly smashed open, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, wielding the Monkey King that had transformed into the Vajra Staff, fell to the ground from the smoke and dust.
At the same time, Kakashi and Yamato arrived at the council hall and stormed in through the main entrance.
Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and other elite Jonin of Konoha landed and gathered in the council hall.
The group drew their weapons and faced one direction warily.
"Hizashi! Where are the enemies?!" After landing, Hyuga Hiashi used his Byakugan to survey the area but found no enemies.
"Hiashi?" Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, pointing at the direction of the Hyuga ninja who had just fallen, and said, "What are you talking about! Isn't Shura right here?!"
"What?!" Hiashi Hyuga's hair stood on end. He looked in the direction Hiruzen Sarutobi's Vajra Staff was pointing, but found nothing.
Kakashi, Yamato, and other Anbu ninjas stepped forward and surrounded Shura, their ninja swords pointed directly at him.
Hizashi and the Hyuga clan members stared blankly at the ANBU ninjas and the Hokage, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy in one direction, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat.
Why?
Why could the Third Hokage and others see it, but the Hyuga clan members couldn't?
At that moment, Nara Shikaku seemed to sense something and said to Hiashi, "Clan Chief Hiashi, try closing your Byakugan!"
Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga immediately deactivated his Hundred Eyes state.
Once his vision returned to normal, Hiashi immediately spotted the black-robed, masked man surrounded by numerous ANBU ninjas!
"Shura!" Hiashi gritted his teeth, but his whole body trembled.
Is this strange ability a bloodline limit or something else?
The guards from the branch family and the elders of the main family also stopped giving him the side-eye.
Amidst the encirclement of numerous Anbu ninjas, a Shura wearing a white three-eyed fox mask, a black robe, and a cloak with mysterious patterns stood leisurely, stepping on a branch family ninja.
"Pfft, you called so many people here, are you planning to gang up on us?" Menma kicked the unconscious Hyuga ninja toward Hyuga Hiashi.
"Shura! You bastard!" As the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi was furious!
"Then I'll play with you." With a soft whisper from beneath the mask, Shura clasped his hands together, forming the Tiger Seal.
"Nine-faced Suvaha!"
