"boom!"

Obito Uchiha's body fell from the ceiling of the cave, scattering rubble and dust all around him.

Hyuga Daiki narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that chakra was still flowing in the meridians of the other's body, and shot the kunai in his hand toward Obito who had fallen to the ground.

Like beating a drowning dog, Hyuga Daiki showed absolutely no mercy to his enemy.

Seeing this, the two Anbu members behind him also formed hand seals, and the Fire Release: Great Fireball, enhanced by the Wind Release: Breakthrough, rushed straight towards Uchiha Obito. The terrifying temperature even burned the cave floor and dome red.

"One or two..."

"They're all getting in my way!"

Fire Release: Storm Dance!

Perhaps because he was being suppressed too much by the Hyuga clan's ninjas, Obito had no intention of using Kamui to dodge the flying kunai and attacks from the Anbu.

Obito swiftly rose to his feet, rapidly forming hand seals and unleashing his Kamui, simultaneously spewing forth flames. The spatial vortex countered Obito's Fire Release, causing the flames to spiral back and strike the incoming Fireball.

Its power and impact were even greater than the combined ninjutsu released by two ANBU members.

"!!!"

The vortex of flames released by Obito Uchiha instantly shattered the Great Fireball, which was enhanced by Wind Release, and the flames swept directly toward Daiki Hyuga and the two Anbu members behind him.

Feeling the scorching heat rushing towards him, Hyuga Daiki's expression hardened. He had no countermeasures at the moment and quickly dodged to the side.

Unlike Hizashi Hyuga, who received special training from Shinichi, he was a member of the Hyuga branch family. Some of the Hyuga's secret techniques were not available to him. Hyuga ninjas had always focused on mastering taijutsu to unleash the power of the Byakugan.

Correspondingly, they are slightly less skilled in ninjutsu.

It's not that Hyuga Daiki couldn't use any ninjutsu besides taijutsu; it's just that, given his ninjutsu prowess, the techniques he knew were simply no match for Obito Uchiha's Storm Dance...

However, Hyuga Daiki didn't possess any advanced ninjutsu to counter fire-style attacks, but the ANBU members protecting Kushina were masters of ninjutsu.

Those who can become members of the Anbu are often people with distinctive characteristics. The Hyuga clan ninjas were able to become Kushina's bodyguards because of their Byakugan, while the ninjas who were able to protect Kushina in the delivery room were skilled in using defensive ninjutsu.

Earth escape o Earth flow wall!

The two ANBU members simultaneously formed hand seals, and an earthen wall rapidly rose in front of Hyuga Daiki. At the same time, the other ANBU member also completed his hand seals and placed his hands directly on the ground.

Earth Release: Heavenly Cover!

Inside the empty rock chamber, a huge earthen cover suddenly appeared above where Obito Uchiha was standing, and it fell down towards Obito below.

While the Anbu used their escaping techniques to defend against the attack, another Anbu member quickly launched a counterattack against Obito.

The two secret agents worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, requiring almost no communication between them.

The lingering force of the storm was blocked by the rising rock wall. At the same time, Obito looked up at the rock cover falling towards him, and a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes.

This scene stirred up memories he had buried deep in his heart that he didn't want to recall.

Once upon a time... he too was buried by a similar earth-escape ninjutsu.

With Kamui activated, Obito's figure blurred and then slowly sank into the ground.

"boom!!!!"

The earthen mound fell and crashed to the ground with a loud bang. As dust billowed, none of the ninjas present lowered their guard.

Hyuga Daiki and Hyuga Hizashi used their Byakugan to look under the earthen cover. Seeing no corpse covered in soil, they couldn't help but look around, searching for the enemy.

"Don't let your guard down, we haven't seen the guy's body."

"That earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in magic) failed to hit the opponent!"

Hizashi was the leader of this squad. While searching for Obito, he reminded the others.

"Is it a retreat!?"

An ANBU member, noticing that Obito Uchiha had not been seen for a long time, inquired in a deep voice.

At that very moment, white spores suddenly began to grow rapidly on the bodies of Hyuga Daiki and several Anbu members. As the spores grew, their chakra was also rapidly absorbed by these white spores.

"What...what is this?!"

"what?!"

An unexpected change occurred, and even Hyuga Daiki and the battle-hardened elites of the Anbu couldn't hide the fear in their voices when faced with this unknown ninjutsu.

As their chakra was drained, they could clearly feel their power being weakened.

The spores grew at an astonishing rate, and as they grew rapidly, they became incredibly heavy. Before the group could even gasp, the spores had already completely enveloped their bodies, rendering them unable to move.

The rapidly growing spores even vaguely resembled the faces of the parasitic ninjas. However, the growth of the spores seemed to have a limit. After firmly enveloping several ninjas, they stopped growing and came to a standstill.

Meanwhile, the ninjas were trying their best to peel off the spores that were enveloping them, but it seemed that they would not be able to do so in a short time.

Despite the misfortune befalling his cousin and subordinates, Hyuga Hizashi himself showed no intention of leaving Kushina's side to help his companions.

"A diversionary tactic..."

"Such tricks will not work on me!"

Various images and fragments flashed through Hizashi's mind since Obito Uchiha appeared.

Whether it's kidnapping a newborn baby or the current attack on Hyuga Daiki and the Anbu, Hizashi already understands their purpose.

The kidnapping of the baby was to lure Minato Namikaze away; the attacks on the Anbu and Hyuga Daiki at this time were also to take him away from Kushina.

The other party's purpose was crystal clear from the beginning: it was for Kushina!

What is it about Kushina that attracts the enemy's attention?

Most likely...

"Is the Nine-Tails their target?!"

With the answer in mind, Richa dared not relax in the slightest.

"hello--"

At that moment, White Zetsu slowly rose from the ground behind Hizashi, and the "cheerful" White Zetsu even gave Hizashi a friendly greeting.

However, what he received in response was a Bagua Empty Palm strike delivered by Hijikata after a swift turn.

boom! ! !

The empty palm instantly pierced through the White Zetsu's head, but at the same time, Obito Uchiha suddenly appeared beside Kushina and grabbed her arm.

Kamui activated, and a tremendous suction force enveloped Kushina, pulling her towards the Kamui dimension.

"What a joke!"

Hizashi noticed Obito's movement and leaped up, heading straight for him. However, at that moment, white spores began to grow rapidly on his feet, their weight affecting his movements and slowing his rescue.

"The Hyuga clan's ninjas..."

"I'll remember you..."

"Bye now!"

Kushina was successfully sucked into the Kamui dimension. As Obito's figure became indistinct, a Flying Thunder God kunai suddenly flew over. However, such an attack could not hit Obito, who had already succeeded and was about to leave.

As Obito Uchiha disappeared into the cave, Minato Namikaze, wearing the "Fourth Hokage" robe, appeared in front of Hizashi.

He stared intently at the spot where Obito had disappeared.

..............

Chapter 37 Kyuubi! !

The moment Obito Uchiha disappeared into the cave with Kushina, Shinichi Hyuga, far away in the Hyuga clan, clearly sensed that one of his Flying Thunder God seals had quickly vanished from his perception range.

Shinichi suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where Kushina had disappeared, a solemn expression on his face.

Pushing open the door, Shinichi Hyuga saw Hiashi Hyuga's back.

At this moment, Hiashi was sitting on the veranda, looking up at the slightly reddened moon in the sky. Hearing the noise behind him, Hiashi turned his head slightly.

"What's wrong? I rarely see you looking so anxious."

Hiashi looked at his son, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Something must have happened to my uncle."

Shinichi Hyuga didn't hide anything from Hiashi. From beginning to end, Hiashi was aware of Shinichi's arrangements. Hiashi never questioned anything, and he always trusted Shinichi unconditionally. It was precisely because of Hiashi's help that Shinichi was able to gain Hiashi's trust so easily.

"A Jinchūriki, huh..."

What can we do at this time?

Upon hearing that something had gone wrong on Hizashi's side, Hyuga Hiashi's expression turned serious.

From a personal perspective, Hyuga Hizashi, who guarded Kushina, was her younger brother. Although the two brothers rarely had heart-to-heart talks due to the relationship between the main family and the branch family, the blood ties between them could not be erased no matter what.

Moreover, Hiashi himself is the kind of traditional patriarch whose emphasis on family ties far exceeds what others imagine.

However, he often buried this feeling deep in his heart, and what he showed to outsiders was the cold, businesslike face of the Hyuga clan head.

The tenderness in Hiashi's heart may only truly be revealed after he relinquishes the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Hyuga main family.

From a working perspective, the Hyuga clan's assistance to the Fourth Hokage in protecting the Jinchuriki was also an opportunity for the clan to strengthen its relationship with the Hokage faction and obtain the Scroll of Seals.

The Hyuga family not only cherishes this friendship, but also wants to repay it.
