Perhaps because the Hyuga main family had been isolated from the village for too long, it wasn't until Hyuga Neji took over the Hyuga clan and became the clan head that they finally caused some commotion in the village after that night.
However, no one mentions that there are only four people in the entire Hyuga clan who are not Caged Birds.
After all, no one would want to test the power of the enraged Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the true strength of Wood Release.
The Sand Village was rather stingy with its money. After redeeming some Jonin and Gaara and his siblings, they started paying the remaining money more and more slowly. This angered the Konoha Jonin so much that they sold hundreds of Sand Ninja to the Kumogakure barbarians, which at least gave the village a small amount of money.
However, ninjas are experts in intelligence gathering, and within a week, they had already discovered that the Hokage of Konoha and the entire advisory group had perished.
This is precisely why the Sand Ninja dared to engage in such underhanded tactics at a time when the village was on the verge of destruction.
After all, excluding certain overpowered individuals, in their minds, if Konoha wants to avoid being besieged by four villages like in the previous three Shinobi World Wars, it is necessary to win them over and stabilize them.
Unfortunately, facing Konoha with three more Kage-level ninjas and one who could be considered a near-Kage, and without Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three companions holding them back, Nara Shikaku, who temporarily took over the Hokage's power as the Jonin class leader, after fully understanding the sufficient fighting strength of his own village, and encouraged by a large group of his subordinates, also showed some backbone.
In his capacity as the leader of the Konoha Jonin squad and acting Fifth Hokage, he wrote to Jiraiya, telling him to either return as Hokage himself or trick Tsunade into returning as Hokage. Then, he immediately sold all the Sand Ninja he had accumulated to the Cloud Village barbarians.
Then, the situation became clear in an instant.
After Kenji Uchiha's chaotic actions, Kirigakure is still in a state of recuperation. Forget about participating in the Fourth Shinobi World War, as long as the village's ninjas are mobilized, the village, which still has various disputes, could be thrown into chaos in an instant.
After Orochimaru's actions, Sunagakure not only lost its high-level combat power, but also lost most of its middle-level combat power. Moreover, due to Konoha's sale, it was temporarily put in direct conflict with Kumogakure. If it did not seize this opportunity, it might not be able to recover its strength. Perhaps after a while, the five great ninja villages would become the four great ninja villages, and it would be unable to take care of the others.
Therefore, the only remaining threats to Konoha are Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who are already gearing up for a fight.
"As it stands, this is the situation Konoha is facing. Although we don't need to pay too much attention to the Land of Water and the Land of Wind at the moment, it's better to be safe than sorry. So I hope everyone can offer their opinions."
Inside the Hokage Building, inside the Jonin classroom.
As the class representative, Nara Shikaku stood on the podium, pointed to the world map of the ninja world, and began to make a general analysis.
Seeing that all the Jonin present were deep in thought, Lin Nian, one of the five who had been temporarily appointed as Jonin, also stood up from his seat and expressed his opinion.
"At present, although we have a good advantage, we must be wary of others. There is no guarantee that the Sand Village will not act rashly under the instigation of the Cloud Village. Therefore, we still need some ninjas to be stationed in the Land of Wind and the Land of Water."
"Shikaku-senpai, I would like to know the number of Konoha ninjas stationed on the borders of the four countries."
Nara Shikaku looked at the Senju family descendant with admiration and relief, knowing that his three clans could at least guarantee peace for the next generation for thirty or forty years, and gave Lin Nian a lot of face.
In an instant, he described the number of troops stationed and their status along the borders of the four countries.
"We have stationed fifty ninjas on the border of Konoha, the Land of Water. Although they are rotated every year, we currently have four Jonin, twenty Chunin, and twenty-six Genin."
"Among the four Jonin, there is one Hyuga Jonin, one Inuzuka Jonin, and one Aburame Jonin. Among the Chunin, there are four each from Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame, and countless Genin."
"There are ninjas on the border of Konoha, the Land of the Wind..."
"Konoha is located on the border of the Land of Lightning..."
"Konoha borders the land of the Earth..."
Lin Nian stared at Hyuga Neji with a strange look for a while. He had seen the versatility of the Hyuga clan from Konoha's battle plan. Now he finally understood why those barbarians from the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village were so greedy for Byakugan.
Damn, this is practically an all-powerful map hack, a perspective hack, a telescope hack... and so on and so forth...
It may not be obvious on an individual level, and may only be used to do whatever bad things one wants, but in an armed group, or even within a national system, what is a kaleidoscope? Can it awaken the entire population?
Lin Nian still couldn't figure out why those barbarians from Kumogakure would kidnap Hinata Hyuga.
Even if you want the Hyuga clan to multiply and flourish in your area, you should at least capture a boy.
Raise him for ten years or so, and then change the women in different ways. Although the chance of his white eyes awakening may be low after the bloodline is diluted, doesn't that still give him a bloodline?
But what if it's a girl? Just thinking about it is unbearable to look at, it's absolutely awful!
But why did they turn their attention to Hinata Hyuga? Was it because they couldn't find any other male members of the main branch? Besides, logically speaking, Neji's Byakugan purity and bloodline aren't low either, are they? Could it be that those brutes used their brains and were afraid that their hard-won treasure would be cursed to death from a distance?
Lin Nian gave Hyuga Neji a look that said, "You're really unlucky." After all, Hyuga Neji was actually living a very stifled life in Konoha. Who knows, maybe after hanging out with those muscle-bound geeks, he could become a magnetic field monster.
Of course, although I had been thinking about it for a long time, reality only passed in a moment. After thinking about the border defense forces again, I also put forward my normal plan.
"Leave the Land of Lightning to me. After all, I'm quite skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu and taijutsu. Combined with Lady Tsunade's monstrous strength, I think I could even put up a fight against the Fourth Raikage."
"As for Killer Bee, I think with my Wood Release, I should be able to hold him back, and the sealing team should be able to provide me with a squad, right?"
"Yes, but the Hidden Cloud Village is very ambitious. If you were to be in charge, you would be under a lot of pressure, and also..."
"Uncle Shikaku, we have border garrison troops for reconnaissance, so we don't need it for now. As for that, I hope the Ino-Shika-Cho clan can send me a few ninja squads to keep them occupied. As for the main force, besides myself, I hope..."
As she spoke, Lin Nian, who had interrupted Nara Shikaku's speech, also turned her gaze to Sarutobi Asuma, who represented the Sarutobi clan.
Along the way, they also kept an eye on the two Jonin from the Mito Gate dormitory for a long time.
As for the Shimura clan, the family of Danzo Shimura, the culprit of this world? Should we say that Danzo upheld justice even at the cost of his own family, or that he deserved to be a failure in his life?
Damn, they're almost as small as a clan of four or five ninjas.
