"Has the plot progressed to this point?"
Walking down the street and watching the messenger hawks fly overhead, Hyuga Kaze murmured knowingly after a moment's thought.
Hyuga Kaze had just returned to the ninja world from the moon at noon today. He didn't have time to deal with the backlog of affairs in the Hyuga clan and Yukigami Village. He stopped Hinata and the others from serving him and went out alone to wander around the streets of Konoha.
The transformation of the lunar paradise is nearing completion, and its overall operation is now very stable, with only minor adjustments remaining. The raw energy operation mode is no longer visible, but the complete transformation of the paradise is not yet finished, and we cannot yet experience its various functions.
After several months of secluded training on the moon, Hyuga Kaze's strength has greatly improved, and he can now see the dawn of mastering the sixth level of Baguazhang. Of course, he still needs to focus on cultivating the fifth level for a while before he can achieve perfection.
This layer involves the transformation and evolution of the body, so it must be handled with care and meticulousness, like polishing a stone. Moreover, the accumulation of energy within the acupoints and meridians also takes time.
Humans are social animals after all. Even if there are endless profound insights waiting for him to absorb and comprehend, it is still a bit unbearable for Hyuga Kaze to be alone on the moon for several months. He has not yet cultivated to the point of looking down on the ages and regarding the passage of time as nothingness.
Unable to immerse himself in the joy of training, Hyuga Kaze began to feel an endless loneliness. Looking at the starry sky on the moon alone was not a good experience, so he decided to return to the ninja world to experience the popularity first.
Along the way, clothing stores, pubs, hot spring baths, and ramen shops appeared one after another, and crowds of people, adults and children alike, wore smiles of peace and comfort.
Seeing the bustling scene of people coming and going on the streets of Konoha, full of the warmth of everyday life, and the occasional beautiful young girls passing by, Hinata Kaze felt his heart lighten up, and the loneliness he had felt from being alone for so long gradually dissipated.
Feeling his mind return to normal, Hyuga Kaze began to think about what he could do during the Chunin Exams.
In his heart, he no longer had much desire to cause trouble. If he continued to cultivate Baguazhang smoothly, he would eventually become invincible in the world of ninjutsu. There was no need for him to fight for temporary gains.
However, Hyuga Kaze remembered that he had promised to give the Uchiha clan a chance to avenge themselves, and the time to launch the Konoha Crush plan was just the right moment.
Hyuga Kaze walked and pondered, slowly making his way towards the Hyuga clan's territory. He decided to go out and investigate carefully. If Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, were still planning to launch the Konoha Crush, he would go and inform the remaining members of the Uchiha clan.
Over the years, these Uchiha clan members have worked tirelessly in Yukigami Village, eagerly taking on any task. At the same time, they have been training day and night, driven by a burning desire for revenge.
As their future rulers, they must fulfill their wishes.
Of course, there's no need to actually cause Konoha to collapse, since I was born in Konoha and have no grudges against those commoners.
However, the collapse of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans is not a big problem, which can be considered as helping Konoha get rid of some of the scourges.
Hinata Kaze went out and returned home in a good mood to enjoy the service of her sweet maid, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others couldn't settle down.
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just finished a meeting, closed the door again and began discussing things with his three old friends.
"Hyuga Kaze has reappeared?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply, the smoke he exhaled almost completely burying him.
"He recently appeared on the streets of Konoha, seemingly wandering around aimlessly. Now, the Root members are watching him!"
When Danzo mentioned Hyuga Kaze's name, the killing intent in his eyes was completely undisguised. Apart from Hiruzen, no one in Konoha had ever lost face like Hyuga Kaze and gotten away with it.
Mitokado Homura frowned upon hearing Hyuga Kaze's name. "I remember he hadn't shown up for several months. What's he up to now, appearing just before the Joint Chunin Exams?"
"Indeed, it's been almost three months since I've seen him leave the Hyuga clan compound," Hiruzen Sarutobi confirmed Homura Mitokado's words. The Anbu's surveillance of the Hyuga clan has never been relaxed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a great headache coming on from Hyuga Kaze, and he didn't know whether he should look forward to Hyuga Kaze's appearance.
Hyuga Kaze's whereabouts have always been elusive and unpredictable, making surveillance and tracking of him largely ineffective. In terms of reconnaissance capabilities, no one in Konoha surpasses the Hyuga clan, let alone the strongest member of the Hyuga clan.
Unfortunately, he was extremely powerful and very dishonest. The things he did before had brought him trouble second only to Uchiha Tajima!
"Have you found out who he contacted or what he did?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and asked, "When Hyuga Kaze doesn't show up, I always feel that he's up to something in the dark, so I've sent wave after wave of people to investigate and monitor him."
When Hinata Kaze actually showed up, he became even more worried. It was not a good sign that a reclusive family member who had been difficult to monitor for a long time would suddenly appear in public.
Danzo's pupils flashed with a sinister glint. "The trackers have not yet found any signs that he has made contact with anyone."
According to previous reports, Hinata Kaze had been wandering aimlessly along the street, passing by various food, drink, and entertainment shops, but without going in.
He was actually closest to pedestrians on the street, especially some scantily clad young women.
After a slight pause, Danzo continued, "Although it doesn't seem like anything on the surface, according to intelligence, this guy has a disgusting smile on his face from time to time when he walks down the street. What a despicable fellow!"
Hearing Danzo's assessment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were speechless. What use was this kind of information? Could you arrest him just because he laughed disgustingly in the street?
"Whether his smile is disgusting or not is not important. The key is why he suddenly smiled. Did he make a meeting with someone on the street, or did he do something evil?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Danzo's assessment; what he really wanted to know was what Hyuga Kaze was up to when he went out!
Danzo looked unconvinced. "You know how powerful the Byakugan is. What can Root detect on the street?"
At this point, Mitokado Homura came up with an idea, "I think we should arrest and interrogate those who have been near Hyuga Kaze."
Hiruzen Sarutobi disagreed with this plan, saying, "That would involve too many people, and besides, it wouldn't have a good impact!"
Watching the three old friends argue endlessly as they moved to the next room, Xiaochun sighed silently. When did they start discussing things behind closed doors more and more often?
Since when did Konoha start having to consider the travel arrangements of a clan leader?
Just then, a voice from the Anbu came from outside the door, "Reporting to the Hokage, Hyuga Kaze has returned to the Hyuga clan's territory and we can no longer follow him."
Thus, the argument between Hiruzen and the others temporarily came to an end.
Besides Konoha, other major ninja villages were also secretly stirring. News of the joint Chunin Exams spread throughout the ninja world, and everyone began to discuss and plan.
