"Feng, are you alright?"
Kurenai and Anko, who had retreated to the perimeter to watch the battle, saw Itachi Uchiha disappear and Juzo Biwa fall to the ground dead. Relieved, they went forward to check on him.
"What could possibly happen to me? The enemy is the one in trouble. This kind of battle is nothing."
Hyuga Kaze didn't care at all. He only used some ordinary ninjutsu and taijutsu in today's battle, and didn't even use one-tenth of his strength.
"Yes, yes, Chief Feng is the most powerful. How could we weak female ninjas possibly understand his strength?"
Kurenai Yuhi carefully examined Hinata Kaze's body and breathed a sigh of relief after finding no injuries.
At this moment, both she and Anko looked at Hyuga Kaze with shock. Although they knew that Hyuga Kaze was very strong, the fact that he could defeat masters like Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo so easily was still a bit beyond their psychological capacity to accept.
Hinata Kazemasa was joking with Yuhi Kurenai when suddenly his expression turned serious, and he raised his palm to block a thigh that was hurtling towards him.
"The Blue Beast of Konoha, Might Guy, is here!"
As the sweeping kick was blocked, Might Guy's voice suddenly rang out, followed by the appearance of a ninja with thick eyebrows wearing a bodysuit, who then swept out another kick.
"Kai, this isn't the enemy; the enemy has already escaped!"
Kakashi swayed as he straightened up, stopping Might Guy from continuing his attack.
"Isn't he an enemy?" Might Guy quickly pulled back his foot, and the deflected attack smashed a deep crater in the ground.
"Kakashi, what happened to you? You look so disheveled!"
When Might Guy turned around and saw Kakashi's disheveled appearance, he was first shocked, then he showed his white teeth and tears streaming down his face, and gave Kakashi a thumbs up with his right hand.
"Waaaaah, as expected of my lifelong nemesis Kakashi, you're injured like this. It seems you went through a great battle to protect Konoha. Youth, this is youth!"
Might Guy was extremely agitated, crying and singing all by himself, making Kakashi, Hyuga Kaze, and the others feel awkward.
In the silence, Might Guy cried to himself for a while, then suddenly rushed to Kakashi's side and carried him on his back.
"It's rare to see you in such a sorry state, Kakashi. Let me take you to the hospital!"
"No, I can walk by myself, put me down!"
Might Guy acted as if he hadn't heard anything, picked up Kakashi and ran away, leaving a trail of dust, ignoring Hyuga Kaze and the others present.
Just as Might Guy left, Danzo Shimura and Homura Mitokado appeared with a group of masked ninjas.
Hinata Kaze sighed inwardly, realizing that some people are always invisible on the front lines of battle, but always manage to pop up and spout nonsense afterward.
In fact, other family members began to appear from a distance and watch from afar. Konoha had just experienced a major battle, and everyone was still very vigilant.
"What are you doing here? Why are you fighting in the village? Do you know how much destruction this will cause?!"
Before he could even get a clear look at the scene, Danzo couldn't wait to put a hat on Hyuga Kaze.
Upon hearing this, Anko looked indignant and was about to speak, while Kurenai Yuhi also showed a strange expression, but they were both stopped by Hyuga Hatsumi raising his hand.
"You mean I shouldn't have intervened when I saw the intruders and just let them roam the village?"
When it came to guarding the village, Danzo couldn't forget to speak up, so he had to change the subject.
"Hmph, it's your duty to protect Konoha, but you should also be mindful of the occasion when fighting, especially since you haven't achieved anything in the battle!"
"If the elder had not lost his only eye, he would have been able to see who was lying on the ground simply by lowering his noble head."
Hinata Kaze showed no sign of backing down, his ability to speak in a sarcastic and unsettling way was no less than Danzo's, which made Hinata Kaze feel a tightness in his chest.
Fortunately, a Root ninja came over to report the results of their investigation, which eased the tension a bit.
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Juzo Biwa," Danzo repeated after hearing the report, then looked at Hyuga Kaze and asked, "Who is the other person who escaped?"
Hyuga Kaze, unconcerned by Danzo's surprised and suspicious gaze, calmly said, "The first to discover the enemy was Hatake Kakashi. He was just taken to Konoha Hospital by Might Guy. You can go and ask him."
"I'm asking you a question now!"
As more and more people began to observe from the sidelines, Danzo became increasingly assertive.
Hyuga Kaze shrugged. He was going to leave Konoha, this chaotic place, to focus on his training anyway, so he'd let him be arrogant for a while.
"Another enemy is Uchiha Itachi. We fought for a while, but he managed to escape."
As soon as the name was uttered, Hyuga Kaze clearly felt a sharp change in Danzo's gaze.
The scene quieted down for a moment. Seeing that Danzo looked thoughtful and didn't speak, Mitokado Homura asked a question.
"Why did you let the enemy escape? Don't you know he's a rogue ninja from Konoha?"
As if reminded by these words, Danzo questioned sharply, "Itachi Uchiha wiped out the Uchiha clan, and only then did the Hyuga clan become the largest clan in Konoha. Today, you fought him and he escaped. Are you in some kind of conspiracy?!"
During the Sound Ninja invasion, not a single member of the Hyuga clan appeared. And in this battle, you couldn't even delay the enemy and let the Konoha rogue ninja leave. It's highly suspicious.
There have been quite a few rumors circulating in the village lately..."
"You yourself said it's just a rumor. If you have any evidence, then produce it. I've even heard rumors that the last time the enemy invaded, it was the Root who led the way!"
Danzo pressed closer with a sinister look on his face, and Hyuga Kaze, too lazy to argue with him anymore, simply broke off all pretense of civility.
