The Seizure of Hyuga Eyes and Shocking the Ninja World
"It's Naruto… as you can see, the Hyuga Clan was attacked by a mysterious person, and all the Byakugan of the main family were taken."
Tsunade answered with a heavy voice.
"Damn it! In Konoha Village, how could something like this happen?! Hinata? Neji? Are they okay?" Naruto asked anxiously.
"They're on a mission outside the village." Tsunade replied.
Hearing this, Naruto quietly sighed in relief, but his expression remained somber.
"If Hinata and Neji return and see this, they'll be devastated. The Hyuga Clan is clearly within Konoha Village—how could this happen…"
"This is the ninja world, cruel and bloody. No one knows what'll happen the next second. Even in the village, we can't let our guard down. But for the enemy to dare act in Konoha! As the Fifth Hokage, I won't let them go!"
Tsunade's expression was grim, her fists clenched tightly.
"Damn it! I won't forgive the bastard who did this either! Just wait! If I find out who you are, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Why are you two here?"
Shikaku's sudden voice made Naruto and Tsunade turn, seeing Imperial Neji and Imperial Lee approaching.
As they neared, Anbu blocked them.
Seeing this, Tsunade waved her hand, and the Anbu cleared the way.
"I heard the Hyuga Clan faced a major incident, so we came to check and help treat the wounded." Imperial Neji said calmly.
"You know medical ninjutsu too?" Tsunade asked, slightly surprised.
"Of course. Medical ninjutsu is just the application of Yang Release. Where we're from, it's basic high school knowledge. Most ninjas know it; the only difference is proficiency."
As he spoke, Imperial Neji approached a branch family Hyuga, channeling a pale white energy into their body.
The person's wounds began healing at a visible rate.
"Amazing! As expected of Ne… Neji! This healing technique is as good as Grandma Tsunade's!" Naruto exclaimed joyfully from the side.
"Want to learn, Naruto?" Imperial Lee smiled.
"Yeah, I want to! Once I learn, no one will fear injuries anymore!" Naruto nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll teach you later!"
Imperial Lee smiled warmly, approaching another branch family member, channeling energy to heal them.
Their healing speed far surpassed other medical ninjas, nearing Tsunade's level.
Watching their techniques, Konoha's medical ninjas gaped in awe.
Even Tsunade raised an eyebrow.
These two, claiming to be from another world—Lee and Neji—had such impressive medical ninjutsu. This could complicate things.
If it were just martial arts, she could dismiss it as a specialized skill.
But their medical ninjutsu was this strong, pointing to a bigger issue!
The enemy, even if not from the Empire, must have a force behind them no weaker than Konoha.
A small group couldn't achieve such feats in medical ninjutsu!
"Alright, it's a deal!"
Naruto replied, crouching to observe Imperial Lee's medical ninjutsu.
Tsunade watched briefly, then said, "Thank you both for your help."
She then joined the medical team.
Everyone was busy.

But the Hyuga eye-seizure incident spread like a storm.
Through spies in Konoha, it quickly reached the entire ninja world!
Ninja World.
In a dark room, under cold candlelight, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and Kabuto displayed varied expressions.
Orochimaru's long tongue flicked, lightly licking his lips, smiling meaningfully.
"Konoha is Konoha… After the Uchiha annihilation night, now comes the Hyuga eye seizure. As expected… staying in Konoha never ends well, Sasuke-kun."
"Great power always attracts greedy eyes. Without enough strength to protect it, this is the consequence…" Sasuke said flatly, wiping his Kusanagi sword.
"First the annihilation night of the Uchiha Clan, now the Hyuga eye seizure. Sasuke-kun, have you ever considered what role Konoha plays in this? Why… do all these incidents happen in Konoha, yet they can't prevent them?"
Orochimaru smiled eerily.
"Hmm?"
Sasuke's movements paused, his expression shifting to one of contemplation.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Kumogakure Village.
Raikage Office. The Fourth Raikage, A, who just received the news, sneered.
"Konoha! A bunch of incompetent old fools! If the Hyuga Clan were in Kumogakure, this would never happen! Hmph! But thanks to those idiots, Kumogakure has a chance to surpass Konoha!"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Iwagakure Village.
Tsuchikage Office.
Ōnoki spoke regretfully: "Only the main family Hyuga had their eyes taken? Such a pity… If the Hyuga were annihilated like the Uchiha, in the next war, Iwagakure wouldn't need to fear Konoha anymore!"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Kirigakure Village.
Mizukage Office.
Terumi Mei looked serious, addressing a one-eyed man with a black eyepatch over his right eye:
"The Byakugan has leaked again… We must be extra cautious on missions outside. Ao, you know how terrifying the Byakugan is, don't you?"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Sunagakure Village.
Kazekage Office.
Gaara frowned.
"Was Konoha's Hyuga Clan also attacked by Akatsuki? The ninja world… is getting more chaotic…"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Amegakure, High Tower.
Nagato listened weakly to Konan's report, saying expressionlessly:
"This isn't worth noting. Konoha with or without the Hyuga makes no difference to a god. Proceed with the Bijuu capture plan as originally scheduled."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Days passed quickly.
Tsunade sat exhausted in the Hokage chair, Shizune standing behind, gently massaging her temples.
"Haaa… The Hyuga Clan is truly ruined." Tsunade sighed wearily.
"That was likely the enemy's goal. Taking the main family's Byakugan, leaving the branch family's. Initially, the main family, in pain from losing their eyes, didn't notice the branch family's Byakugan. When they realized, they tried using their status to forcibly take the branch family's eyes, even activating the Caged Bird…"
"But no one expected the Caged Bird had been destroyed by the eye-taker. Without its restrictions, the main family was powerless against the branch family. If not for some Anbu at Konoha's hospital, the main family might've been in trouble…"
"But because of this, the main and branch families are truly divided. The enemy aimed to split all of Konoha!" Shizune said in awe.
