The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 113 Action Plan

Not all children mature early; some of Sasuke's classmates are still quite immature.

Sasuke, who did not experience the night of the massacre of his clan, still has a lively personality.

Although I still try to act cool and stylish, I still have some friends.

They chatted and joked with Sasuke as they walked out of the school.

Chiyo led Karin at a slower pace.

There are many students at the Ninja Academy. Some of the younger students are picked up and dropped off by their parents, while the older students go home on their own.

There were also some snack vendors on both sides of the school gate, which was no different from the school Qianyao remembered.

Feeling the lively atmosphere, Qianyao also felt a sense of disorientation.

Perhaps peace-loving people simply enjoy this kind of scene.

As he stepped out the door, he saw a member of the Hyuga clan walking towards him.

"Greetings, Lord Senyou. I am Hyuga Sota."

Sota gave Chiyo a junior's bow, but in reality, Sota was older than Chiyo.

Qianyao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, he still had a certain mental age to consider.

He sized up Sota a few times: "You're the newly appointed branch elder of the Hyuga clan?"

Cang Tai replied modestly, "It's me. The clan leader asked me to come and get to know Lord Qian Yao."

"Please give me your guidance, sir."

There's a reason why Sota is so humble.

Chiyo is also an elder, but he is not only an elder of the Uchiha clan, but also an elder of Konoha Village.

Moreover, according to other people's calculations, Qianyao's strength has reached the level of the clan chiefs of various races.

After all, he could force back the Mizukage Yagura and easily control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

These are all symbols of strength.

So Sota kept calling him "adult".

After a moment's thought, Chiyo understood what Hinata meant.

The Uchiha clan had been making frequent moves, but they have suddenly fallen silent in the past few days.

This allows the branch family to come and gather intelligence, and to take the Uchiha with them if they want to do anything.

Qian Yao's eyes held a hint of amusement. He had initially planned to have his own people do this, but now a hired hand had conveniently delivered himself to their doorstep.

"How many squads did the Hyuga unit receive?"

Sōta answered honestly, "Our Hyuga branch family was divided into 10 teams."

Qian Yao nodded slightly; that was enough.

Seeing Qianyao's expression, Cangtai added:

"Lord Chiyo, apart from the guards, all of our branch families have been dispatched to oversee Konoha."

Qian Yao raised an eyebrow: "What, are there still a lot of spies around lately?"

Sota replied, "Yes, after what happened last time, many bounty hunters have been constantly investigating Konoha."

"The price of information about Konoha remains high on the black market. Even if you find some valuable information, you can sell it for a lot of money."

"Some of these bounty hunters have very unique techniques that only our Hyuga clan can effectively capture."

Then Sōta quickly whispered, "Jiraiya has left the village."

They then changed the subject, and no one knew that Sota had added that sentence.

When Chiyo and Sota were talking, they had already attracted the attention of many people.

Neji, who had also just left the school, stood not far away.

Those familiar with Chiyo's ANBU and some school teachers saw Hyuga Sōta and Chiyo talking.

Chiyo turned his head to look at Karin, who was being led by the hand. Karin couldn't understand what they were saying and looked completely bewildered.

He smiled and cast an illusion spell on Sota.

Then he said a few polite words and left.

……

"If your Hyuga clan is ready, I have an operation planned for you in a couple of days."

"If you confirm your participation, please contact me."

"There are many informants around here. If anything happens in the future, have Neji tell me."

After Qianyao finished speaking, he disappeared from Sota's sight as if he had been blown away by the wind.

Sōta woke up a few seconds later.

His eyes were filled with amazement; the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan was terrifying indeed.

He didn't notice anything at all, and didn't even know when Qianyao left with his men.

Sota turned around and saw Neji not far away.

He exchanged a glance with Neji before disappearing at the school gate.

From Neji's perspective, Elder Sota only exchanged a few words with Uchiha Chiyo.

The other party left, while Elder Cang Tai remained where he was, deep in thought. A few seconds later, he gave him a wink before leaving.

I need to go back and talk to him.

Neji was aware that Konoha was full of ANBU agents, especially near the school.

He didn't attract anyone else's attention and left the school with the flow of people.

Not long after, Neji also returned to the branch family compound.

Sota was indeed already waiting for him:

"Elder Cang Tai."

Neji stepped forward and bowed to Sōta.

Sota turned to the side: "All of us branch families have received the grace of Lord Hizashi, so there is no need for us to bow to me."

Neji paused for a moment, and the previous elder, Mitsunori, said the same thing.

Neji knew how respected his father was after the division of the family, and that was precisely why he felt such heartache.

And, an extraordinary resentment towards the main family.

Neji's expression was so obvious that Sōta saw it clearly.

"Neji, you can be sad, upset, or angry here."

"But once they left the family compound..."

Neji nodded and said, "I know."

Lord Guangxin once said: 'Before you are certain, you must control your emotions.'"

Neji was the first to ask, "How exactly did Lord Mitsushin die? I don't believe he died from stepping on a trap."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of pain flashed in Cangtai's eyes, and then he fell silent.

Neji felt a pang of pain in Sota's eyes, and neither of them spoke for a moment.

After a long silence, Sota sighed.

"You're still young, don't ask around or investigate. It won't do you any good to know these things."

Neji's cheeks showed obvious muscle movement; he was clearly clenching his teeth.

"Is it only by becoming a strong person that one can control their own destiny?"

Sota's eyes flashed with many emotions that Neji couldn't understand.

He then patted Neji on the shoulder: "From now on, you will become a strong person."

We will pave the way for you.

Sota thought to himself.

"Alright, I called you back to tell you that your principal, Uchiha Chiyo, may be using you to send a message back to the clan soon."

Sōta roused himself and gave instructions to Neji.

"We must never slack off and lay a solid foundation so that we can go further in the future."

"Konoha is a village where many families come together; only by cooperating with each other can we go further."

"Although the courses in school are not very important, making friends with the heirs of other ninja clans is something you need to learn."

Neji looked at Sota, whose figure gradually overlapped with Mitsunori's, and behind Mitsunori stood his father, Hizashi.

"I understand, Elder Cang Tai."
