Listening to Hyōjin's doubts, Kakashi and others frowned.
In history, although the second Naruto went to the Cloud Village to sign the peace agreement, but the Cloud Village's Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers launched a coup, leading to the death of the second Lei Ying and the second Naruto in the coup.
But in any case, signing the peace agreement is a major event for the two countries.
Even if the Four Generations Lei Ying doesn't personally come forward, the Cloud Village should at least send a strong elite Jonin to act as the leader of the envoy to Muye.
Guy said straightforwardly, "It seems that the Cloud Village doesn't trust us very much."
Kakashi nodded.
Cloud Village's arrangement is obviously worried that the elite Shinobi sent will be trapped in Muye Village, and from this point, it can be seen that the Cloud Village doesn't trust the Muye Shinobi.
Zhishui sighed, "I wonder how much sincerity they have in coming to sign the peace agreement this time!"
Listening to Zhishui's words, Hyōjin's expression gradually became solemn.
In the original story, it was the leader of the Cloud Village's envoy who, after arriving in Muye and signing the peace agreement, took the opportunity to sneak into the Hyuga Mansion and tried to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Family, Hinata.
Hyuga Family Head Hyuga Hiashi soon discovered the uninvited guest and killed him with a single palm strike.
This sudden incident caused a series of diplomatic disputes between the Muye Family and the Cloud Village, which had just signed the peace agreement.
Cloud Village used the death of a diplomat in Muye Village as an excuse to attack Muye Village, and threatened Muye Village with war, forcing the Hyuga Family Head Hyuga Hiashi to hand over the Hyuga Family Head who killed the head of the Cloud Village.
Under the threat of the Cloud Village, Muye finally chose to be patient and at the cost of Hyuga Hiashi's brother Richa Hyuga Hiashi, appeased the anger of the Cloud Village and avoided a war.
Recalling this memory, Hyōjin felt that something was wrong.
If Kumo chose peace, then the Kumo envoys shouldn't have kidnapped Hinata.
It is obviously not a reasonable choice to destroy the hard-won peace between the two countries for a pair of Byakugan. What's more, the probability of kidnapping the daughter of the Hyuga Clan in Muye Village and successfully escaping back to Cloud Village is not high.
Taking such a huge risk with such a low probability of return, logically speaking, normal people would not do such a thing.
But it can be said that Kumo Village has no intention of peace at all. The signing of the peace agreement is just a cover. The purpose is to sneak into Muye City and kidnap Miss Hyuga.
Cloud Village shouldn't have signed the peace agreement, let alone chose to settle the dispute after receiving Richa Hyuga's body, maintaining the fragile peace.
"Perhaps there are internal disputes within Cloud Village."
Puzzled, Hyōjin could only conclude that there are two factions within Cloud Village: pro-war and pro-peace, which is why the Kumo envoys behaved in such a contradictory manner.
Contrary to the expectations of Team-11, the escort mission went surprisingly smoothly. A few weeks later, the Kumo envoys successfully arrived at Muye Village.
And when the Kumo envoys arrived, the village organized a grand welcome ceremony, and many villagers spontaneously took to the streets to express their friendship to the Kumo envoys.
Everyone may hate the Kumo Village, but they don't hate peace!
The Third Shinobi War caused too much blood to flow in the village. Take Hyōjin's generation as an example, most of the villagers died in the war.
Therefore, even if the dispute was provoked by Kumo Village, the villagers still expressed their friendship to the Kumo envoys, because everyone really didn't want to continue the war.
After completing the escort mission, Team-11 received a short vacation as a reward from the Three Generations.
After returning home, Hyōjin pondered for a while, immediately changed into a set of casual clothes, and leisurely strolled towards the Hyuga Clan.
Along the way, Kuroto greeted both familiar and unfamiliar people of the Hyuga Clan, and finally arrived at Hyuga Hizashi's residence.
As the younger brother of the Patriarch and one of the few elite Jonin in the clan, Hyōjin Richa's residence is much larger and more imposing than Hyōjin's courtyard.
After knocking on the door, Kuroto realized that he had forgotten to bring a gift since it was the first time he came to visit her.
At this time, a three or four year old boy opened the door a crack, poked his little head out, looked at Hyōjin and asked, "Ochi-san, are you looking for my father?"
Without waiting for Hyōjin to answer, the door was completely opened, and Hyōjin Richa, who was standing behind the door, smiled and said, "Kuroto-Kun, come in."
After taking a seat, Hyōjin looked at the little boy who was sitting next to Hyōjin Richa and asked, "Is he Ningci?"
Richa, with his arms crossed, smiled and nodded.
Little Ningci saluted Hyōjin and said, "Kuroto-Kun, I am Ningci."
Hyōjin carefully looked at Ningci, and finally his eyes fell on Ningci's white and smooth forehead.
There is no doubt that the current Ningci has not been engraved with the mark of a 'caged bird'.
After noticing Hyōjin's gaze, Hyōjin Richa's expression instantly became gloomy.
Because according to the rules since ancient times, when the heir of the main family is three years old, the branch family members of the same generation will be engraved with the mark of a 'caged bird'.
And the heir of the main family of this generation, that is, Hyōjin Hinata will be three years old in a month.
In other words, one month later, Ningci will be engraved with the mark of a 'caged bird'.
Stroking the mark of a 'caged bird' on his forehead, Hyōjin Richa asked in a low voice, "Kuroto-Kun, do you hate it?"
Hyōjin did not answer and chose to remain silent.
Hyōjin knows very well that the 'caged bird' has always been a sore point for Hyōjin Richa. Once the 'caged bird' is mentioned, Hyōjin Richa will be depressed.
But to be honest, Hyōjin's attitude towards the 'caged bird' is very neutral.
In his opinion, the existence of the 'caged bird' has both advantages and disadvantages for the branch family. After all, not every member of the branch family has the strength of Hyōjin Richa.
If there is no 'caged bird', many members of the branch family with mediocre aptitude will live in anxiety.
So in short, the geniuses of the branch family resent the 'caged bird' that can control their lives, and the mediocre members of the branch family are grateful for the protection of the 'caged bird' that saves them from the bad luck of having their eyes gouged out.
Unfortunately, Hyōjin is also one of the mediocre members.
During the third shinobi war, he deliberately exposed the 'caged bird' seal on his forehead more than once to avoid the enemy from coveting his Byakugan.
It can be said that the 'caged bird' has saved him several times.
At this time, Richa looked at Ningci and said sadly, "Ningci's talent is the best among his peers, it's a pity that he was born in the branch family."
Seeing Richa so sad, Ningci hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
