Chapter 231
Soon, Lu Nie had to put down the matters at hand and go out of the village to investigate another matter that concerned him.
"teacher!"
Itachi, Asuma, and Kabuto, along with a jonin from the Hyuga clan, formed the team this time. It was Itachi who spoke.
"Itachi, maybe I will delay your chance to witness the birth of your brother." Lu Nie's gaze fell on Itachi, he touched his head, ruffled his neat hair and said.
"My brother and mother are both in good health, and they are under the care of Senior Tsunade, so there will be no problem." Itachi's face showed a little regret, but his words were mature and sensible.
When his younger brother was about to be born, Itachi followed his teacher out of the village to carry out the mission. Although Itachi felt a little sad, that was how ninjas were. Whether it was his father, mother, or even the tribe members, they expressed their support at the first time, especially his mother, who prepared all the necessary supplies for him.
Kunai, shuriken, explosive talismans, medical talismans, and food pills, etc.
"Thank you for your help, Hizashi." Lu Nie's gaze shifted to the ninja from the Hyuga clan who was sent from the neighboring village.
"Please give me your orders!" Hyuga Hizashi bowed slightly to Shikagawa.
The fact that the younger brother of the Hyuga clan leader was able to be delegated has already revealed the attitude of the Hyuga clan to some extent.
Compared to the unruly Uchiha, although the Hyuga also give people a sense of arrogance in the village, they do not have much contact with the villagers.
Apart from their identity as ninjas, the Hyuga clan could also be considered aristocrats to some extent.
Although it is said that Konoha was founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans, the Hyuga, who were invited to join and can to some extent confront the two clans, are also an important and indispensable member of the village.
Especially when most of the Senju clan retired, some scattered in the villages and changed their names, some were tired of the war and moved to the Kingdom of Fire to become nobles; and the Uchiha clan was suppressed and excluded for various factors, the status of the Hyuga clan suddenly rose.
It's just that the Hyuga clan is obviously much wiser in politics than the Uchiha clan. With the special Byakugan and the political wisdom of the Hyuga clan, although the Hyuga clan has become the top family in Konoha, it has surprisingly not been targeted and suppressed by the top leaders.
At least not like an Uchiha.
But that was before.
Now that the Fourth Hokage has taken office, the Uchiha's previous difficulties have been greatly alleviated, and the conflicts with the village's top leaders are not as tense as before.
The Uchiha clan was indignant and dissatisfied because, although they were the same clan that founded the village, the Uchiha clan was excluded from the core of power in the village by the Senju clan.
But after Orochimaru came to power, the fact that they were excluded from the core of power has disappeared, and they can even look forward to and compete for the position of Hokage that the Uchiha clan has longed for in the future.
Now that the point of conflict has been eliminated, the relationship between the Uchiha and the village will naturally not become antagonistic again.
So the Hyuga clan found that they had to face a powerful Uchiha again. Just like before the village was built, before Uchiha Madara died. Although the current Uchiha no longer has Madara, they have a strong man like Shisui who has opened the Mangekyo. And Fugaku, the clan leader, is also suspected to have opened those powerful eyes.
The Uchiha had established a relationship with Orochimaru early on and devoted everything to supporting him. With a large amount of resource investment, the Technology Development Department also provided a lot of convenience and results for the creation of Uchiha's bloodline limit.
So under the strong momentum of the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, who were also masters of dojutsu, inexplicably accepted more attention and comparison, whether they wanted to or not.
Of course, Hinata, who has long been half-free from the restrictions of being a ninja and has a large number of industries throughout the ninja world and in the Land of Fire, no longer needs to rely on taking missions to support his family like ordinary ninjas, can still remain calm in the face of such gazes.
What made the elders of the Hyuga clan and the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi uneasy was the pair of Byakugan eyes that seemed to have evolved!
The Byakugan can evolve again like the Sharingan!
This is what makes the entire Hyuga clan unstable! This is too significant for the Hyuga clan! Especially Hyuga Blue's eyes, apart from the high consumption and short maintenance time, there are no unacceptable sequelae and defects.
In other words, this is not a defect at all!
Powerful eyes should be matched by powerful consumption! If your chakra volume is not enough and the duration is not long enough, it is definitely not the problem of the eyes, but your own problem!
In the ancient books of the family, there were only some myths and legends, and some brief descriptions of the other forms of the White Eyes. However, the process of opening the eyes was kept secret, and because of this, the caged bird technique was born to seal the White Eyes.
For thousands of years, the Byakugan has never shown a different posture than described in the scriptures. The scriptures glorify and enhance their own history and power, and every ninja clan has its own.
So after the Hyuga clan confirmed that Orochimaru had the technology to transform the Byakugan to a higher level, they all let go of their reserve. They even broke the Hyuga clan's political code and began to actively have certain contact with Orochimaru before Orochimaru actually became Hokage.
But so far, Orochimaru has not given much response.
Thinking of what his brother, the clan leader, had told him before he left the village, Hizashi had already made up his mind.
Since high-level eye rolls can temporarily numb the caged bird when it opens its eyes, allowing it to pursue a moment of freedom, it is worth his effort.
Not all Hyuga branch families who are like caged birds hate the main family or the caged birds. Only a few people like him will disregard the danger and desire their lost freedom even more.
"Yes, there will be many places in this mission where you will need to use your Byakugan." Lu Nie nodded slightly.
"Teacher, what is the mission this time?" Asuma raised his head and looked at Lu Nie, asking about the mission this time. Itachi and the other two beside him also listened attentively and quietly to Lu Nie's answer.
"Go to the Land of Rivers and look for a rare mineral!" Lu Nie gave the task requirements.
"Ore? Is it the ore that can be used to forge chakra tools?" Asuma asked subconsciously. In his opinion, the only thing that his teacher would care about was this rare ore.
This kind of ore is considered a rare treasure in the entire ninja world!
"No, it's a kind of mineral that contains chakra and can be used as a chakra battery!" Lunie corrected Asuma's words.
Hyuga, Hizashi and the other three immediately showed shocked expressions on their faces!
Minerals that can store chakra?
As we all know, refining chakra requires the combination of both spirit and body. How can chakra be stored in stone?
