"Genya... How can you be this strong?"
At the entrance of the mansion, after Nakahito Kishibe left, Uchiha Kinya looked at his son with a burning gaze.
They were right; his son was indeed a monster, a genius beyond asure. He even surpassed Uchiha Itachi and Shisui at their age.
No, even Itachi and Shisui wouldn't be stronger than his son at this age, especially since Genya had already awakened his Sharingan.
As a proud father, he didn't know what to ask first!
"Dad, I never said I wasn't strong!" Genya rolled his eyes. He had never claid to be useless. "Do you think I train hard every day for nothing?"
That's true!
His son never admitted to being useless; that was just what others thought.
"How many tomoe have you activated in your Sharingan?" Uchiha Kinya was still curious. He hadn't seen Genya's eyes when he used genjutsu, but he knew that to perform genjutsu, you needed at least two tomoe.
"Two tomoe!" Genya didn't hide this fact, but he also didn't ntion that he could possibly unlock six tomoe.
[Here six tomoe ans six tomoe in one eye because one pupil has three tomoe. So for Dual Pupil, there six tomoe.]
Two tomoe!
When Uchiha Kinya heard this, his eyebrows shot up, and he couldn't hide his joy.
His son was a genius; he was so proud!
"Alright, Dad, let's keep this between us. Don't tell anyone else!" Genya looked at his happy father and reminded him seriously again.
He felt that if he didn't remind his dad, his reputation as a genius would spread throughout Konoha by tomorrow.
"Why not?" As expected, after Genya finished speaking, he was t with Uchiha Kinya's confused look.
Just as Genya thought, if he didn't remind him, his father would throw a feast tomorrow and invite all the noble clans in Konoha.
"If my talent is exposed, I might be targeted by the Third Hokage and others!" Genya took a deep breath and continued, "Dad, we can't reveal our strength until we have the ability to protect ourselves!"
Genya was serious because he knew that many people were watching the Uchiha clan. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo from the Roots were among them. If he revealed his Sharingan, Danzo would probably want to take him for experints.
Even Orochimaru and others wouldn't let him off easily.
"Get stronger, protect ourselves!" Uchiha Kinya pondered for a mont and finally nodded seriously. He had to admit that his son was thinking ahead.
The Uchiha clan was already being targeted by the village. If another genius erged from the clan now, they would be even more under scrutiny.
Listening to his son, he suddenly rembered sothing and asked, "What about your mother? Aren't you going to tell her?"
"It's best not to. The fewer people who know about my situation, the better!" Genya looked at his father earnestly. The fewer who knew about his strength, the safer they would be.
While the two were quietly talking, Senju Yumi ca out. "Why are you two just standing at the door? I thought we were being robbed!"
"Mom, we're here," they said, exchanging glances without ntioning what happened that evening as they laughed and entered the room.
Hyuga Clan Grounds
At this mont, many clan mbers were awakened by the commotion and started to gather.
Even Kakashi arrived last.
As soon as he entered, he saw Hyuga Hiashi standing in the courtyard, holding a sleeping Hinata in his arms.
Several other Hyuga clan mbers had also rushed over, their expressions serious as they took in the scene.
At Hiashi's feet lay two ninjas who had lost their lives.
"What happened here?" Kakashi jumped down from the wall and first introduced himself before asking.
As a mber of the Anbu, he was, under certain circumstances, acting on behalf of the Third Hokage and had the authority to get involved in this matter.
"These two infiltrated my daughter's room, intending to kidnap her, but I discovered and killed them!" Hiashi spoke calmly, his tone respectful yet assertive, embodying the deanor of a clan leader.
Infiltrating Hinata's room to kidnap her?
Kakashi furrowed his brow but stepped forward to pull off the black cloth covering the faces of the two ninjas.
"It's really them!" Kakashi recognized them imdiately. They were both ninjas from the Cloud Village who had co for peace talks and he had seen them just today.
He never expected they would use the pretense of negotiations to disrupt the peace in Konoha.
With that thought, anger flashed in Kakashi's eyes.
"Do you know these two?" Hiashi asked, frowning.
Kakashi nodded, "These ninjas are part of the Cloud Village's delegation. I didn't expect them to attack your Hyuga clan mbers!"
"Cloud Village ninjas?" Hiashi's frown deepened. If they were from another village, it might be manageable, but these were from the peace delegation, making the situation more complicated.
Any misstep could ruin the peace between the two villages.
"Humph! No matter who they are, we deserve an explanation!" The elders of the Hyuga clan stepped forward, speaking with disdain.
The Hyuga were a major clan in Konoha; those who dared to kidnap a mber of their family must be punished.
"Right, no matter who they are, they must apologize!"
"They have to apologize!"
"Right, let's find the Hokage and have him negotiate with the Hidden Cloud Village!"
The mbers of the Hyuga clan were filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
But they didn't understand that the weak Third Hokage would abandon them for the sake of so-called peace.
"Everyone, quiet down! This is serious. We need to inform the Hokage and let him decide!" Kakashi said, looking at the furious Hyuga clan mbers.
This matter was critical and had to be handled by the Hokage himself.
Hokage's Office
"What? The Hyuga clan was infiltrated by Hidden Cloud ninja? And Hyuga Hiashi was killed?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just gone to sleep, was jolted awake by this shocking news, causing his forehead to throb.
He had been negotiating well with the representatives from the Hidden Cloud Village, but now the situation had drastically changed.
He still didn't know how to resolve it.
"It's not just the Hyuga clan; even Uchiha Kinya was attacked by the Hidden Cloud ninjas just now!" Kakashi nodded, ntioning the attack on Uchiha Kinya as well.
"Uchiha Kinya was attacked? What's the situation?" Compared to the Hyuga clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen seed less concerned and asked casually.
However, Uchiha Shisui, who entered behind him, felt anxious. Although he didn't particularly like Kinya's business dealings, as a fellow Uchiha, he was worried.
"Kinya and his son are fine. They were saved by the passing Anbu ninja, Nakahito Kishibe. Unfortunately, the two Hidden Cloud ninjas managed to escape!" Kakashi briefly recounted what Nakahito Kishibe had told him.
As he spoke, Nakahito Kishibe walked in, feeling a bit embarrassed and remained silent.
Nakahito Kishibe fought against two Hidden Cloud Chunin? And the Hidden Cloud ninja ended up escaping?
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe, feeling that this seed a bit unrealistic.
He knew Nakahito Kishibe's strength. If it weren't for his sowhat dull personality, making him easy to control and brainwash, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have recruited him into the Anbu.
He turned to Nakahito Kishibe and asked again, "Did you save Uchiha Kinya and his son? Did you take on two Hidden Cloud ninjas alone?"
