Chapter 895: The Night of Genocide, Late but Coming

——For the entire ninja world, this is definitely an unprecedented event.

Overnight, the Hyuga family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, was officially declared extinct. When this news was spread and confirmed by many parties, the entire ninja world was shocked.

As one of the oldest families in Konoha Village, the history of the Hyuga family can even be traced back to the origin of ninjas, and it is famous for its unique blood limit, the Byakugan.

...And now, the Hyuga family has become history and turned into dust in history.

Once this news came out, it spread like wildfire, quickly spreading among villages and countries, causing an uproar. Major forces speculated about what kind of powerful force or what kind of deep hatred could wipe out such a deep-rooted family overnight.

Some efforts began to strengthen vigilance to prevent this sudden change from triggering a chain reaction, while others secretly sent spies to Konoha to try to uncover the truth about the demise of the Hyuga family.

On the other hand, Konoha was in unprecedented chaos and grief. As one of the trademarks of Konoha, the Hyuga clan has always been an important pillar of the village, especially the Byakugan, which has irreplaceable strategic significance on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that the Hyuga clan is in the core circle of the village, with strict security.

They simply cannot imagine who has the ability to quietly exterminate the Hyuga clan overnight. Even if the village wants to attack the Hyuga clan, they will only have a slight chance unless they move the other party out of the core circle like the Uchiha clan.

Who did this? And how did they do it?

... No one knows.

For this reason, the top leaders of Konoha held an emergency meeting at the first time to discuss countermeasures, and sent elite ninjas to investigate, vowing to find the murderer and seek justice for the Hyuga family.

At the same time, various rumors and speculations about the extermination of the Hyuga family spread like wildfire. Some people said that this was a long-planned conspiracy aimed at weakening Konoha's strength; others believed that a hostile force that had been suppressed by the Hyuga family for many years finally found an opportunity to fight back. Some even mentioned ancient prophecies and curses, believing that all this was an irreversible arrangement of fate... all kinds of things.

An unprecedented storm seemed to be brewing quietly in the dark, and as the center of this storm, Konoha seemed particularly quiet.

The clouds of sorrow on the faces of the villagers were hard to dissipate. The discussions on the streets and alleys were all about the tragic fate of the Hyuga clan. The children no longer chased and played, but were replaced by curiosity and inquiries about the unknown fear, while the adults tried their best to cover up their inner panic with soothing words, trying to maintain the daily order of the village.

——The whole Konoha was shrouded in an invisible cloud of mist.

………………………………

Although it was late at night, the lights in the conference room were still brightly lit.

"... Tell us what you think."

In the almost oppressive silence in the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a hoarse voice, his face looked extremely tired.

-Although only one day had passed, he looked as if he had aged a dozen years.

The Hyuga clan extermination was of great importance. Almost everyone in the village, whether famous or not, came, and the entire conference room was packed.

All kinds of intelligence reports were spread out on the conference table. From the traces left at the scene to the recent movement records of suspicious people, every clue was carefully analyzed to try to piece together the whole picture of the incident.

But unfortunately, the Hyuga clan's extermination case seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. Whether it was the hostile ninja village or the ninja organization hidden in the dark, no obvious traces of the crime were left.

That night, the Hyuga clan seemed to be isolated from the world. When they found something strange at dawn, everything had already entered the end.

Nearly a thousand people from the Hyuga clan, whether ninjas or civilians, were all killed. Only a few children barely survived and are still receiving treatment in the hospital and have not yet woken up.

Not only that, the eyes of all the dead were cruelly dug out, including Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan.

As a famous family with a thousand-year heritage, the number of Hyuga clan members is very large, but last night, whether those Hyuga clan members who were not in the village on a mission or those who were not in the family were all killed at the same time.

The person behind the scenes seemed to have a deep hatred for the Hyuga clan, and they were completely thinking of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. The only thing they were thankful for was that some children in the Hyuga clan survived and did not die out.

Whether the truth of the night of the Hyuga clan extermination can be uncovered and the mastermind behind it can be found, all of this depends on the children lying in the hospital.

For this reason, at this time, almost half of the village's combat power was deployed to defend the hospital. Not only was Jiraiya in charge there, but nearly 80% of the Anbu members were sent there to prevent the only survivors from getting into trouble again.

"There are no signs of damage or destruction in the surrounding barrier. Although there are signs of fighting in the Hyuga clan territory, there are not many. It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are very familiar with the place."

Putting down the documents on the table, Nara Shikaku spoke in a deep voice.

This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:吧!! Update!

"There are two possibilities. One is that the village's intelligence was leaked in large quantities, allowing those people to do such things recklessly. As for the second possibility, there was an insider in the village. It is impossible that no one would not notice such a big commotion of the genocide. There must be someone in the village who helped to cover it up!!"

When he said the last sentence, Nara Shikaku's tone had completely turned cold.

In private, he and Hinata Hiashi had a good personal relationship, but he never thought that in just one night, the other party turned into a cold corpse, and even his eyes were dug out, and his death was extremely miserable.

...It was precisely because of this that he was holding back an unprecedented anger in his heart from beginning to end.

"Also, let me add that, whether it is the dead or the surviving children, the caged bird spell has been completely solved. Considering that all the Byakugan have been dug out, the purpose of those behind the scenes may be to get the Byakugan."

Nodding, Akimichi Choza added to what Nara Shikaku said before.

"Being able to crack the caged bird spell and being so familiar with the internal layout of Konoha, I have reason to suspect that the nature of the perpetrators of these cases is the same as that of the case a few years ago."

After a slight pause, Akimichi Choza continued.

"For example... Kumogakure."
