Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

As Tsunade left, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office suddenly became a little more awkward.

The two clan leaders, Yamanaka and Nara, looked at each other and nodded slightly. The Nara clan leader took a step forward and saluted everyone.

"Hokage-sama, everyone."

"Since it has been found that it has nothing to do with Tsunade-sama's medical class, I won't stay any longer."

"There are still some things to deal with in the clan, so the two of you will say goodbye and go back!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the two clan leaders with a smile.

"Well! Thanks for the trip, you two. Since there is something going on in the two clans, let's go back first!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Hokage-sama! I have to take my leave!"

After the Nara clan leader finished speaking, he pulled the Yamanaka clan leader beside him and exited the Hokage's office.

…

"Lujiao, there's something wrong with your expression. Why do you want to go back in such a hurry all of a sudden?"

"I haven't heard anything about the Nara clan?"

Shan Zhongyuan grabbed the old man who had been with him for many years and asked him his doubts.

Nara Shikaku held Yamanaka Ryo's arm, glanced around, and whispered:

"Yuan, although I don't know what happened here, but I saw that the way Lord Hokage looked at Tsunade was wrong!"

"There must be something wrong here!"

"Let's go to Akimichi's house to discuss and see if anything big has happened to the Senju clan and the Sarutobi clan recently!"

"Hokage-sama, if there is nothing else, my subordinates will also take their leave!"

"Hong is too young and doesn't know how to restrain herself when playing. I want to go back early to supervise her practice."

Seeing Nara and Yamanaka leaving, Yuhi Mahong also took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from his seat and walked to Yuhi Mako, with a warm smile on his face.

"Ha ha!"

"I almost forgot, that girl Hong is about the same age as my boy. She is already five years old this year, right?"

When Yuhi Zhenhong heard her daughter's name, a loving smile appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"Kuroi has entered the ninja school starting this year, and she is still a classmate with little Kakashi and Asuma of the Sakumo family!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a hearty laugh and patted Yuhi Mahko's shoulder.

"Well! The little guys are great. I hope they can become good companions when they grow up!"

"alright!"

"Since you are eager to go back to see your daughter, I won't keep you here."

Xihi Zhenhong bowed slightly, said goodbye and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Yuhi Mahko out the door with a smile on his face, turned back to the table and sat down.

"Toutai Nin, you have seen the current situation."

"It's not that I don't help you find the missing ninja in Yunyin Village, it's just that I'm powerless!"

Tudai naturally noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen's efforts, but he was still a little unwilling to do so.

That is the rarest blood successor ninja in Kumogakure Village besides the Jinchuuriki! He disappeared from Konoha so mysteriously, how could he explain to the Raikage-sama when he went back?

"Hokage-sama!"

"I know that if I make any further demands, it may be a bit excessive..."

"But Namai was brought to Konoha from Cloud Hidden Village to participate in the chunin examination. If I don't do my best to find him, I will really be unwilling to do so!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and looked at Dodai with some displeasure.

"Dodai Nin!"

"As Hokage, I still have a lot of work to deal with. I can't always have time to accompany you to find a genin."

"You have to know how to advance and retreat!"

When Dodai saw Sarutobi Hiruzen assuming the posture of a superior, his heart suddenly tightened.

But since I had something to ask for, I could only ask again in a low voice:

"Don't dare bother Hokage-sama anymore!"

"I know that Lord Hokage has arranged for the Hyuga clan to patrol Konoha Forest."

"so……"

"I would like to ask, Lord Hokage, if you can allow me to go to the Hyuga clan and ask the ninjas who were on patrol at that time..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tudai expressionlessly and thought about it in his mind.

Just go to the Hyuga clan to ask about the situation, there shouldn't be any problem, just let him go! Save yourself the hassle.

"That's fine!"

"I can send ANBU to convey your request to the Hyuuga clan, but this is the last help I can provide for this matter!"

"Do you understand it?"

Dodai bowed and said, "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

"No matter whether there is any result or not, I and Yunyin Village will remember the Hokage's help!"

"Excuse me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, called an ANBU to explain, and then ignored Dodai.

Dodai seemed to be understanding and thanked Hiruzen Sarutobi, then followed the ANBU out of the Hokage's office and walked towards the Hyuga clan.

…

"Hizu-sama, Hizashi-sama."

"The ANBU sent by the Third Hokage came to the clan's territory with the soil from Kumogakure Village."

"It was said that I was ordered by the Third Hokage to get some information from the clan members who were patrolling Konoha Forest today."

"Two adults, do you want to meet?"

The ninjas guarding the gate of the Hyuga tribe came to the courtyard to report.

The two brothers Hyuuga and Hizashi were talking in the courtyard. When they heard the guard's report, Hizashi nodded to the guard.

"Since it is what Hokage-sama wants, then we, the Hyuga clan, cannot lose our etiquette."

"Please ask the ninja from Hidden Cloud Village to wait in the living room. I will be there shortly."

The tribesmen took the order and left.

Hinata Hizu turned around and looked at his younger brother, his eyes a little complicated.

"Hizashi, have you really decided to put the future of your branch family on that guy from the Senju clan?"

Hinata Hizashi nodded firmly and looked at his brother with a smile.

"Brother, don't worry, I trust my own judgment."

"Besides, haven't you seen that psychic beast before?"

Hinata Hinashi thought of the huge King Conch that his younger brother showed him, shook his head slightly and said:

"That psychic beast can indeed prove the sincerity of the rope tree guy, but..."

"You are my brother, the future head of the Hyuga branch!"

"One psychic beast alone is not enough to make the Hyuga clan fall to the Senju."

Hizashi shook his head slightly.

"Brother, there are some things that I can't tell you clearly."

"But please believe me, the future of the Hyuga clan lies with Naoki."

"On the day when the rope tree shows its power to Konoha, you will be like me, glad that you are not his enemy."

Hinata Hizu looked at his brother's serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and nodded gently.

"All right!"

"I'll help you just this time, why are we brothers?"

A hearty smile appeared on Hizashi's face and he bowed to Hinata Hizashi.

"That day, Hizashi thanked my brother first!"

Hinata Hinashi snorted lightly and left with a puff of sleeves.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu brought Dodai to the Hyuga clan, they returned to the Hokage.

What he was going to talk about next had nothing to do with him as a small ANBU member. He didn't have to look at the wealthy family of Konoha for the sake of someone from Kumogakure Village.

Dodai followed the guard through the Hyuga clan's station and walked all the way to the living room.

"Your Excellency Tutai, please wait here for a moment. The young patriarch will be here shortly."

"I still have the duty of guarding, so I'll leave first!"

Although the guard is just an ordinary Hyuga branch, he treats others in a reasonable and orderly manner, showing the demeanor of a wealthy family.

Todai did not dare to look down upon him, so he thanked him and watched the Hyuuga tribesman leave.

Tutai sat quietly in the hall and waited, not daring to make the slightest move out of the blue.

The feeling like a light on his back made him understand that there were countless pairs of white eyes secretly staring at him through many obstacles.

There was a steady sound of footsteps outside the door, and Tutai stood up quickly.

"This must be the Jonin of Kumogakure Village, Lord Dodai, right?"

"Hyuga Hizu, nice to meet you!"

Hinata walked into the living room at a snail's pace, clasped his fists in front of the platform and saluted, with a gentle smile on his face.

Tutai did not dare to lose his etiquette and replied politely.

"I have met the Young Patriarch of the Tutai of Yunyin Village."

Hinata Hinashi nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to lead.

"Please sit down!"

"Come here, serve tea to Your Excellency Tutai."

Tutai sat down with Rizu, and when he saw Rizu acting like he was entertaining distinguished guests, he waved his hands and said:

"Young Patriarch, you're too polite, I won't drink the tea!"

"I came to visit the Hyuuga clan this time because I have something to ask for."

Rizu waved his hand to signal the maid to serve tea, then turned to look at the soil platform.

"I have already heard from my clan members about the purpose of Your Excellency Tutai's visit."

"Since it is the Hokage-sama's order, the Hyuga clan has no reason to refuse."

"What information do you want to know from our Hyuga clan? As long as it does not involve clan secrets or village information, I will tell you everything."

Dodai felt relieved when he heard Hinata Hiashi's statement.

"Thank you very much, Young Patriarch."

"I would like to know if the noble guards patrolling Konoha's first security area today found any trace of Namai?"

"Oh! Namai is the genin who disappeared this time in our Hidden Cloud Village. If the Hyuga clan has any news about this, please inform the young clan leader."

Rizu took the tea from the maid and took a sip. Then he gently put it back on the table and nodded to the platform.

"There is indeed information on this."

Tudai felt happy and subconsciously sat up straight, looking at Hinata and Hinata expectantly.

"However, this news may not be good for you."

Tutai's expression tightened and he asked hurriedly: "What do you mean, the Young Patriarch?"

Rizu looked at Dodai who was nervous and sighed softly.

"Actually, my members of the Hyuga clan discovered the missing Kumogakure ninja at that time."

"but."

Tutai asked anxiously: "But what?"

Hizu shook his head.

"When the two members of my Hyuga clan wanted to interrogate them, they were driven away by a ninja carrying the Konoha Elder's warrant."

Tutai's expression changed, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"The Konoha elder's warrant?"

Nizu nodded.

"That's right!"

"Originally, this matter may involve one of my Konoha elders. After the clan members came back and reported to me, I was prepared to bury this matter in my heart forever."

"However, since Mr. Dodai comes to inquire with the Hokage-sama's instructions, there is nothing that cannot be said."

Tutai's expression became anxious and he couldn't help but stand up from his seat.

"Your Majesty the Young Patriarch, which Konoha elder gave the order?"

Hinata Hinashi hesitated immediately.

"Lord Dodai, by telling you these things, I should have completed my explanation to the Hokage."

"Other information, if we continue to tell it, may cause some conflicts between the Hyuga clan and Konoha."

"so."

Tutai walked up to Rizu and bowed respectfully.

"Young Patriarch, please tell me the answer!"

"I know that it is very likely that Namai will not be found again."

"But I just want to know who did it."

"Please tell me the truth, Young Patriarch. I promise with the honor of Yunyin Village that I will never leak the information told by Young Patriarch to anyone!"

"So, please!"

After Tutai finished speaking, he bowed his head to the ground towards Rizu with a sincere face.

Hinata Hiashi looked at Dodai's sincere look, shook his head and sighed.

"Oh! Never mind! After all, it was his fault first."

"The signature of that warrant is none other than Konoha's elder, Shimura Danzo!"

After Hinata Hizu finished speaking, he remained silent. He picked up the tea cup on the table, blew on it twice, and drank slowly.

Dodai bowed deeply to Hinata again, turned around and left the Hinata clan without saying a word.

Walking out of the earth platform of the Hyuga tribe, the sincerity on his face disappeared instantly. The anger in his eyes was about to burst out, and he gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly in his heart:

"What a great Third Hokage! What a great Shimura Danzo!"

"What a Konoha!"

"Great! Very good!"

"If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't become a ninja!"
