Chapter 50: A Dark and Stormy Night in the Hyuga Compound!

Chapter 50: A Dark and Stormy Night in the Hyuga Compound!

An enraged Neji Hyuga continued to rant,

"Uncle! Father, Hiashi, and Homura! The main Hyuga family doesn't deserve the Hyuga name! They don't deserve to be part of us or the Empire! They must be punished!"

"Ah... well, what do you want to do, Neji? Kill them all?" Hiashi's lips were dry, and he avoided eye contact.

"No! I want to do this..."

Neji's eyes sparkled as he revealed his plan.

The Hyugas' expressions changed once more after hearing his plan.

"This plan is good... It's reasonable to punish the main family by making them servants. But... we still need the Emperor's approval." Hiashi said, his mouth feeling dry. He looked at Senju Tianren.

"Go ahead with it. Don't worry.

Garbage and worms don't deserve to be part of the Empire! But be careful not to leave too much evidence when you act.

Our goal is to integrate the entire Ninja World into the Empire, and if we do something too outrageous and provoke strong resistance, it might cause problems later on," Senju Tianren said with a smile.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty! We will be cautious!" Neji said, a chilly smile on his face.

The communication with the Empire was finally cut off.

Empire Lee sighed, "Sigh... I never expected this world to be hiding such darkness... I wonder if Master Guy has encountered any dangers."

"The era of the Ninja Villages! A time when the spirit of sacrifice was exalted, incompetents occupied high positions, the young were sent to battle, and entire clans were marked for annihilation. I can't believe what we would have become if not for His Majesty! I shudder to think of it!" Empire Neji said.

"His Majesty saved us!" Empire Obito added.

Although... in his world, Rin had married Kakashi and had his child, and she didn't love him...

Nonetheless, Rin was at least alive! That was enough!

A world without Rin's presence, in his opinion, had no value!

"Thank goodness our world has His Majesty!" Empire Lee also sighed in relief.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Empire Neji frowned.

Empire Obito's face also changed slightly.

Empire Lee was surprised, "What's wrong? Neji, Senior Obito?"

"We're being watched," Empire Neji said, his eyes narrowing as the veins around his eyes bulged.

"Oh! Now that you mention it, I just remembered.

In the era of the Ninja Villages, there were significant issues with technological development.

It seems that they don't even have surveillance cameras, and the monitoring has to be done manually.

This might actually make it easier for us to act!" Empire Lee exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.

"Exactly! Now... we just need to act normally and wait for night to fall!" Empire Neji lowered his voice.

Time passed, and the sun hanging high in the sky slowly set in the west, until darkness enveloped Konoha.

It was a dark and stormy night.

Several Anbu ninjas responsible for surveillance were puzzled, wondering why their targets were unusually well-behaved, remaining still in their rooms.

But then...

Silently,

A vortex appeared out of thin air.

And in the next moment, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared alongside it.

The moment the Anbu ninjas saw those eyes, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but think, "It's the Sharingan!"

Then, everyone's consciousness faded into a blur.

Empire Obito stood calmly beside the three Anbu ninjas.

Soon, Empire Neji and Empire Lee slowly walked out of the apartment and joined him.

"These three were the ones monitoring us.

"How's it going? Is it easy to control them?" Empire Neji scanned the three Anbu members before turning to Empire Obito.

"Rest assured. Although in the Empire's records, I'm only listed as an ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan user, I've actually been a Mangekyo Sharingan user for a long time, and I've been regularly taking my Sharingan enhancement pills. While it still can't compare to the Eternal Mangekyo, controlling a few old-era Anbu ninjas is a piece of cake." Empire Obito replied.

"Good, that's the best-case scenario. If there's anything you want to ask, do it quickly. I can't wait to see those filthy sinners get what they deserve!" Empire Neji nodded.

Empire Obito turned to the three Anbu members and asked, "Who ordered you to spy on us?"

"It was... Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade's orders," the three Anbu members replied in a dazed manner.

"Do you know the inside story of the Uchiha clan's annihilation?" Empire Obito inquired further.

All three Anbu members shook their heads, their expressions blank.

"No intelligence, huh... As expected, ordinary people wouldn't know about it..." Empire Lee said, spreading his hands.

It seemed like it would take some time to get any useful information out of them.

Empire Neji couldn't help but frown at the delay. He was eager to see those despicable people punished immediately!

He turned his head to glance at the Hyuga clan.

His eyes lit up as an idea struck him.

"There's no need to keep looking for a target to question. I think we can go straight to the Hyuga clan head of this world, Hyuga Hiashi! As the number one clan in Konoha right now, he must know something!"

"Hmm? That's true! Then... let's go!"

Empire Obito started, then a smile curved his lips.

"Yes! Let's go!" Empire Neji exclaimed eagerly.

"Deliver the divine punishment they deserve! For justice! For youth! Woohoo!"

Empire Lee roared, raising his right fist high.

Hyuga Compound

Center Area, Main House

Even in the middle of the night, there were Hyuga branch house guards patrolling, keeping watch, and standing guard against potential dangers.

Today's guard captain was Hyuga Homura, an elite from the branch house with the strength of a high-level ninja.

He was accompanied by several Hyuga branch house ninja, both lower and middle-level, who seemed a bit lackadaisical.

After all, they were in the heart of Konoha, and there was absolutely no way any danger could befall the Hyuga main house!

What? You say the Uchiha clan had an incident?

Hmph! That's only because they moved away from the center, offended the Hokage, and had treasonous intentions!

The Hyuga clan, on the other hand, had close ties with the Hokage lineage and was the number one clan in Konoha!

During wartime, the Byakugan's ability to gather intelligence was far superior to that of a mere Sharingan!

How could they ever be cast aside? So, standing guard here was completely unnecessary.

However, as a member of the branch house, even if he thought so, Homura dared not voice these thoughts aloud. He could only pass the time obediently.

This made him a little distracted, but suddenly, Homura's heart trembled.

An ominous premonition arose within him.

This premonition had saved him once during the Great Ninja War, and he trusted it implicitly.

Without hesitation, Homura activated his Byakugan.

In an instant, the world around him transformed, revealing only black, white, and translucent buildings.

But there was also... an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire Hyuga compound!

Countless white particles of light covered the barrier, rendering the Byakugan ineffective! Homura couldn't see anything beyond the barrier, and even within it, everything beyond a hundred meters became a blur!
