The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 190 Rebellion

Chapter 190 Rebellion

After everyone left, the ground rippled, and White Zetsu floated to the surface.

"Well done, Neji."

"Leave the body and the handling of the scene to me; I definitely won't let you down."

Ever since learning about the connection between Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon and the Hyuga clan of the ninja world, Zetsu harbored deep resentment towards the Hyuga clan and provided strong support for Neji Hyuga's activities.

With his help, Neji was able to succeed in everything he did and repeatedly recruit new members.

Those who knew Neji's plan but refused to join were captured by Zetsu and handed over to the new members as a "pledge of allegiance."

Having worked together many times, Neji was very confident in Zetsu's abilities. He nodded immediately, said nothing, and leaped away, disappearing into the darkness.

Zetsu chuckled and activated his ninjutsu, causing the ground to churn up like the gaping maw of an abyss, swallowing all the corpses.

A moment later, the ground was level again, and some wildflowers and weeds grew back on it, making it impossible to tell that this place was a crime scene just moments before.

"Neji, I have high hopes for you, so please don't let me down!"

Jue muttered to himself as his body sank back into the earth.

As night deepened, the dark clouds dispersed, and the Hyuga clan's territory remained quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a piercing alarm sounded.

Neji calmly got out of bed and slowly got dressed.

A flurry of footsteps sounded, and a person rushed in in a panic.

"Neji, are you awake?"

"Something terrible has happened. Lord Tokuma's patrol squad went missing last night."

"The main family is now gathering everyone to inspect the clan's territory."

"Jiro, stay calm and composed in this situation. Don't lose your composure." Neji said very calmly, "This is Konoha Village. No enemy can kill people here silently. It's most likely that Lord Tokuma has run into some trouble and left."

"As you know, the main family always has a lot of things to do, and they don't need to report to the branch family where they want to go."

"I hope so," Hyuga Jiro said with a grim expression.

The scroll containing Hyuga Tokuma's head was prominently displayed on the table, but Hyuga Jiro completely ignored it.

That's the good thing about scrolls; once they're unrolled, nobody knows what's sealed inside.

If you just put it out in the open, no one will suspect anything.

Neji packed his ninja tools and then went out with Hyuga Jiro to meet at the small square.

The streets were bustling with people, all heading in that direction.

When many people meet, they glance at each other and then look away indifferently, without saying a word, yet they have an unspoken understanding.

Once everyone had arrived, the head of the main family, Hyuga Hiyu, said with a stern face, "The Five Kage Summit is currently underway, and the enemies in the shadows are most likely unwilling to give up. They might infiltrate the village and deliberately cause some damage."

"I have reported Elder Tokuma's matter to the village, and the village will also send people to patrol various places."

"However, the patrols within the clan's territory still need to be carried out by our own clan."

"Now I will assign tasks. Each team will be assigned a specific area to conduct a comprehensive search. Any clues must be reported to me."

"The main family's Byakugan is extremely precious and must never fall into the wrong hands."

"Did you understand?"

"We understand!" everyone answered in unison.

Hinata Hiyu immediately assigned tasks.

Neji, who had always performed well, also led a group of people and began patrolling behind Hyuga Hiyori.

Because it was a comprehensive search, many of the main family's original forbidden areas were now open to the branch families, with members of the main family leading the searches.

This was a rare opportunity, so Neji remained calm and pretended to be serious, looking around carefully, examining everything thoroughly, if not digging three feet into the ground.

We certainly won't be able to find any trace of Hyuga Tokuma, but it's always good to take this opportunity to gather more information about the main clan's territory.

A group of people spent the whole day searching, but ultimately found nothing.

This enraged the main family members, who found some minor faults and severely punished some unfortunate branch families before finally venting their anger.

The village found no clues either, and had no idea how Hyuga Tokuma's group had vanished into thin air.

That evening, all patrol teams were doubled in number and frequency.

But the next day, another group of people disappeared, and it was the same group led by the main family.

Now everyone in the village knows that this enemy is targeting the Hyuga clan.

"Damn it!" Hinata Hiyuki slammed his fist on the table. "Wasn't stealing one pair of Byakugans enough? They actually dared to steal a second pair?"

"It's no use saying all this now." Another elder of the main family waved his hand and said, "I suggest that, starting today, the main family's night patrols be suspended, and the branch families should take full responsibility for them instead."

Most people agreed, but some had reservations.

"But isn't it a bit much to entrust the safety of the entire family to the branch family?"

"What do you mean by dividing the main family into separate families? We're all one family. Are you planning to rebel if we divide the family into separate families?"

We must trust our own people!

The disappearance of two clan members in succession caused some of the remaining clan members to feel uneasy and were particularly reluctant to go out on patrol at night. Therefore, this proposal was quickly approved by most of the clan members and was implemented.

The family didn't have much of an opinion about splitting up; after all, the main family had many privileges, so they didn't care about adding another clause. At most, they would just mutter a few complaints in their hearts.

Only Neji and the others frowned when they found out.

With the main family no longer patrolling, it becomes impossible to catch and assassinate a lone member of the main family.

A group of people hurriedly gathered at Neji's house to discuss countermeasures.

"Neji, what should we do? Should we just give up?"

"Perhaps we can let things rest for a while and find another opportunity later. I don't believe the Zong family just stays at home all day and doesn't go anywhere."

"Don't talk nonsense. This is the Five Kage Summit. The Hokage has left the village with many elite ninjas, which is why we are in this vulnerable situation. Once they return, our operations will be even more difficult."

A group of people started arguing amongst themselves, each expressing their own opinions, but no one could offer a reliable suggestion.

"Sigh, I guess we still have to follow Lord An's advice!"

Neji sighed inwardly, raised his hand to interrupt the argument, and said seriously, "These petty squabbles can't solve the problem completely. We need to use overwhelming power to crush them all in one fell swoop."

"In other words, we must gather all our strength, find a suitable opportunity, launch a coup, and wipe out the main family in one fell swoop."
