The breeze was gentle and the sun was shining brightly, but the atmosphere in the mission hall was cold, faintly dividing the sunlight and shadows.

"Rescue?"

His face was full of surprise. Now is war time. Even if the ninjas of the village were captured by Kirigakure, at most they would be subjected to intelligence torture and experimental analysis. What rescue?

"The other party is the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura. This time, I was able to have the opportunity to negotiate, thanks to you."

The relief in Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was noticed by Kagetsu, who immediately guessed something in his mind and suddenly realized it.

"Could it be that their goal is the swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? In addition to this matter, they may also take the opportunity to keep me in Kirigakure forever.

Seeing Kagetsu lowering his head in thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen said frankly with a serious expression

"We are also aware of the danger of this mission, but you are the only one who can do it now. The other party specifically asked you to go alone."

"In addition, according to the ninja who escaped from the enemy and reported back, there are two survivors among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who are following the Fourth Mizukage......."

It was only then that Uchiha Huayue showed some interest and nodded.

"I understand. How did they avoid the Flying Thunder God Slash? It really makes me curious, how many ninjas were captured? Who should be the priority for rescue?"

"There is no priority for Konoha's ninjas. If you can, give priority to rescuing the young children, followed by Nara Shikaku. Do your best."

Knocked on the table gently, and the matter was settled. Just as Huayue was about to leave, a knock on the door interrupted his action.

"Excuse me, Lord Hokage."

When several people entered the mission hall, the white eyes swept towards the center. Behind the black cloak, the family crest of the flaming fan made the head of the family elder look puzzled.

"The Hyuga clan?"

Seeing that the visitor was from the Hyuga clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a little confused. Could it be that another member of the Hyuga clan fell into the hands of Kirigakure?

"Yes, actually our Hyuga clan wants to entrust the experts in the village to kill the Mist Village jonin who has taken the Hyuga clan's precious bloodline limit and bring back the Byakugan."

Hyuga Hiashi, who was following behind the Hyuga clan elder, nodded slightly, while the last of the three, the current leader of the Hyuga branch clan, Hyuga Hizashi, was stunned at this time. The three-eyed demon fox mask, the black cloak, the figure without a sense of existence and the unreal temperament that seemed to be non-existent.

There is no doubt that the ninja in front of him is the mysterious ninja who asked him what he wanted to be that night.

"This is just in time. This is Uchiha Kagetsu, a ninja who is equally skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique as Minato."

"Now he is going to Kirigakure to carry out a rescue mission. You can tell him in detail about the ninja who took the Byakugan. He is an expert in taking away all seven ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out slowly, his eyes swept over Orochimaru who was leaning against the wall, and his tone was solemn.

"Last night, the Anbu found traces of some animals crawling on the ceiling of the study. It's best that this matter has nothing to do with you, my disciple."

The back figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor. Orochimaru smiled but said nothing. The old man's enthusiasm and vigilance were much stronger than he expected.

At the same time, in the mission hall.

The Hyuga family elders bowed slightly. The three people had complicated expressions and doubts in their hearts. They couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt.

Can this child in front of him really save the captured ninjas in the hands of the Kirigakure? Even if the Third Hokage said it himself, it was a little unbelievable.

The doubts in the eyes of the Hyuga elders and Hyuga Hiashi have not disappeared yet, while Hyuga Hiashi looks worried, and faintly recalls what happened that day in his mind.

After the Third Hokage left, the elders of the Hyuga clan, not knowing whether he was pampered or used to giving orders, turned to Huayue and ordered

"Take the life of that Kirigakure jonin and take back the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. This is the order of our Hyuga clan and also the Third Hokage. You......"

Without waiting for the Hyuga clan elder to continue, Huayue smiled brightly.

"I reject"

"Reject? Why would you reject? Isn't it a ninja's duty to complete the mission?"

As if hearing an unbelievable answer, the Hyuga clan elder's eyes changed and he shouted sternly:

"The loss of bloodline limit is your Hyuga clan's family affair, and has nothing to do with me. My mission is to rescue the Konoha ninjas who fell into the hands of Kirigakure. Other things have nothing to do with me."

"First of all, I have the right to choose the mission and join the battlefield. This is the promise of the Third Hokage. Secondly, I am a member of the Uchiha clan, and the orders of the Hyuga clan are useless to me."

At this point, Huayue felt something in her heart and frowned and shouted

"Now that you are here, why are you hiding and watching the show? That's why I hate you, teacher."

"Hehe, I haven't been in the village for a while. I just heard a very interesting news. Has the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan fallen into the hands of the Kirigakure?"

When the thin figure appeared from the dark, the Hyuga family elder and the current head of the family, Hyuga Hiashi, also nodded and greeted, with fear in their eyes.

"Lord Orochimaru, are you here?......Could it be that this child is?"

"I am an impolite but very outstanding disciple. I wanted to ask you if you would like to go to the outside world to practice with me. Now it seems a pity, haha."

With a twitch in the corner of her mouth, Huayue glanced at Orochimaru with disdain and said sarcastically without any hesitation.

"It's all thanks to you that I've lost my leisure time in the past few days. You've gone too far, Mr. Orochimaru."

"Did you find out too? It seems that Sarutobi's spirit is no less than that of young people. Since you have a mission, I can only take Red Bean with me to practice. Do you need a gift?"

Hehe, Orochimaru brought a gift to himself, it's good enough that it's not a trouble.

"Then I won't have any expectations for now, please don't throw any more trouble on me, I'm leaving now."

Just as Huayue's figure was about to disappear, Hyuga Hizashi's body froze, and his eyes became more suspicious.

‘What do you want to be? A lonely bird with broken wings, imprisoned in a cage, or a star that tears the night open with fangs and blood, burning with blood and fire?’

‘You don't have to give me an answer now. When you figure it out, you're welcome to come to me anytime. '

At some point, the mysterious figure disappeared quietly. The Hyuga family elder was even more shocked. He hadn't stopped rolling his eyes just now, but he disappeared in an instant?

Can a child really master this level of instant body movement?

"Lord Orochimaru, is this Uchiha child really your disciple?"

Faced with Hyuga Hiashi's question, Orochimaru smiled, and the stiff facial lines softened a lot.

"This child is very mysterious. Even I cannot see through his potential.......I might have surpassed him."

Before they could exclaim, Orochimaru's figure gradually went away. Hiashi lowered his eyes, and a tiny glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

At the gate of Konoha Village, Huayue looked up at the sky and silently looked at his hands.

"It's a rare opportunity, so try it........"
