Chapter 1017 Coincidence?

"It's a matter of time." The elder of the clan said as he opened the cabinet where the classics were stored. A stale smell came to his face, and there were scrolls covered with dust inside.

Utatane Koharu went forward and picked up a scroll and unfolded it to examine it. The handwriting on it was ancient and obscure. "It seems that it will take a lot of effort to decipher these contents." She frowned and said.

Mitomon En also picked up a scroll and scanned it quickly. "These records may contain key information about the future development of the village. We must search carefully."

At this moment, a senior ninja suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Look at this mark, it seems to be similar to the symbol of the mysterious organization investigated by the Anbu before." Everyone immediately gathered around after hearing it. Utatane Koharu's expression became solemn, "Is there some connection between the Hyuga family and this mysterious organization? Or is it just a coincidence?" Mito Kado En shook his head and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe this is just a coincidence. The Hyuga family has always been loyal to Konoha Village and should not be easily suspected." However, Utatane Koharu didn't think so, "At this time, no clues can be missed." Utatane Koharu said seriously. The elder of the main family stood aside, his expression slightly hesitant, "The Hyuga family has a respected status in the village. If there is unwarranted suspicion, it may cause unnecessary turmoil. "But Utatane Koharu's eyes were firm, "Now is not the time to consider this. If it is really related to the mysterious organization, it will threaten the safety of the entire village. "

Mitomon En thought for a moment and suggested: "Perhaps we can investigate secretly first without alerting the Hyuga family." Everyone nodded in agreement. So the Anbu quietly investigated the recent movements and contacts of the Hyuga family members. After a few days, nothing unusual was found. Just when everyone was relieved, an Anbu ninja came to report: "Suspicious chakra fluctuations were found near the abandoned warehouse of the Hyuga family, and the fluctuations are somewhat similar to the characteristics of the mysterious organization." Utatane Koharu clenched her fists, "Is there really something fishy? No matter what, we must find out this time." Then, several people decided to go to the abandoned warehouse in person to find out. No matter what, this matter must be reported to the Hokage. If there is really a connection, it is a matter of life and death for the village. "After hearing this, the faces of the elders of the main family turned extremely ugly. They knew very well that once they were involved in such groundless suspicion, the family's reputation would suffer a huge blow. One of the elders stepped forward to explain: "Dear consultants, our family has guarded these classics from generation to generation, and has never found anything unusual. This mark may have other meanings." But Utane Koharu was firm, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Stop looking up the classics for the time being. We will take these marked scrolls back to the Hokage Building for further study." Although the Hyuga people were unwilling, they could only watch the consultants take away some of the precious scrolls. In the Hokage's office, after Tsunade got the scroll, her eyes were full of doubts. An investigation surrounding the Hyuga family and the mysterious mark was about to begin. Tsunade summoned Nara Shikaku and other think tank members to study these scrolls together. After looking at it for a long time, Nara Shikaku said: "Hokage, this mark is indeed very suspicious, but there is currently not enough evidence to show that the Hyuga family is related to the mysterious organization. "Tsunade nodded slightly, "I know, but since there are doubts, we can't ignore them." On the other side, the Hyuga main family was in a gloomy mood. "If this matter is not clarified, our family may find it difficult to gain a foothold in the village in the future." A clan member said worriedly. After hearing the news, Hyuga Hinata decided to take the initiative to find Tsunade. She came to the Hokage's office and saluted and said: "Hokage, I believe my family will never betray the village. Maybe that mark was just an ordinary logo many years ago and was later stolen by a mysterious organization. "Tsunade looked at Hinata's determined eyes and her heart moved. At this time, news came from the Anbu that after in-depth investigation, it was found that a mysterious organization had recently appeared in the border area, and its activities had nothing to do with the Hyuga family. Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and called Utane Koharu and others to announce the lifting of suspicion on the Hyuga family. After the Hyuga family learned about it, they breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time strengthened their determination to protect Konoha Village. To show their loyalty, the Hyuga family decided to send some ninjas to assist the village in guarding the border. Hinata volunteered to be one of them. While on duty at the border, Hinata got to know ninjas from other families, and they trained and patrolled together.

One night, Hinata was on duty alone when she suddenly sensed a strange chakra fluctuation. She became alert and quietly approached the source of the fluctuation. However, she found that it was a wounded animal that had mistakenly entered the border warning area and triggered some small defensive spells.

Hinata gently picked up the little animal and was about to treat its wound when she heard another noise in the distance. This time, it was a real enemy attack. A group of wandering ninjas tried to sneak into the border village of Konoha to plunder supplies under the cover of night. Hinata quickly sent a signal to inform her teammates and rushed forward to deal with them. With the ability of her Byakugan, she cleverly avoided the attack and counterattacked the enemy.

Soon, the companions arrived, and everyone worked together to repel the invading enemy. After this battle, Hinata became famous in the village, and the Hyuga family also won the respect of more villagers because of their active participation in the action to defend the village. From then on, the relationship between the Hyuga family and Konoha Village became closer and closer. The days passed peacefully for a while. One day, Hinata was practicing at home, and suddenly received an urgent call from the Hokage. After arriving at the Hokage's office, Tsunade said seriously: "Hinata, there is new information showing that the mysterious organization seems to have made new moves, and the target may be the Hidden Mist Village." Hinata was shocked, "Hokage, what does this have to do with our Konoha Village?" Tsunade said slowly: "Although the Hidden Mist Village has always been independent, if it is controlled by a mysterious organization, the pattern of the ninja world will inevitably be unbalanced. We plan to send an envoy to communicate and cooperate to fight together. Considering your excellent performance last time, I want you to go as a guard." Hinata agreed without hesitation.

After arriving at the Hidden Mist Village, it was still thick with fog. During the meeting and negotiation with the top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village, Hinata remained highly alert. However, the negotiations did not go smoothly, and some people in the Hidden Mist Village suspected the motives of the Leaf Village. Just when the atmosphere was tense, there were suddenly bursts of fighting around. It turned out that the mysterious organization had already sent people to lurk here in an attempt to destroy the alliance between the two sides. Hinata opened her Byakugan again and joined the battle. With the efforts of her and others, she finally thwarted the conspiracy of the mysterious organization. After this incident, the Hidden Mist Village agreed to cooperate with Konoha, and Hinata returned to Konoha Village with glory.

Mizuto Menyan pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, this matter must be investigated in depth. We must first sort out all the books with suspicious marks or records." So everyone got busy again, and the atmosphere became tense and serious.
