Early the next morning, Hyōjin, who was doing morning exercises, heard the rumor that the patriarch was attacked, which also confirmed that the flesh and blood tissue sent by Orochi Maru yesterday was indeed Hyuga Hiashi's.
Although Kuroto had already guessed it, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he thought about how Orochimaru could easily injure the strongest person of the Hyuga Clan. Although there was definitely an element of sneak attack, Kuroto couldn't help but feel disappointed.
In Hyōjin's own feelings, it is too difficult for a member of the Hyuga family to reach the level of Sanin through regular training.
What's more, when it comes to talent, Hyōjin obviously belongs to the mediocre category, which can be seen from the number of activation of his special gene sequences.
For ordinary Hyuga clansmen, there are generally about 20 groups of 33 groups of special gene sequences in the state of activation, and outstanding people like Hyuga Hiashi can even reach 28 groups, while Hyōjin himself only has 17 groups in the state of activation, which is obviously lower than the average level in the family.
If it goes step by step, Tokubetsu Jonin may be the end of Hyōjin's life.
Regarding the specific details of the attack on Hyuga Hiashi, the Hyuga family is very secretive.
Hyōjin guessed that Hyuga Hiashi may have been aware of the identity of Orochi Maru when he was attacked, and Orochi Maru is a disciple of the Three Generations, one of the Sanin, not only has a high position of power, but also has a sensitive identity, so in the face of such a difficult problem, the Hyuga family must have not reached a consensus, and naturally kept their mouth shut.
"Orochimaru dared to make a move against the Patriarch, so obviously, he isn't afraid of exposing his identity. This also confirms my guess that Orochimaru has indeed completed the preparations for his defection and is ready to act at any time."
After a little thought, Hyōjin is more convinced that Orochi Maru is about to defect.
The defection of Orochi Maru has advantages and disadvantages for Hyōjin. The advantage is naturally that a mountain is removed from him, and the disadvantage is that there is one less thigh to shelter him.
"Those who know that I participated in the human experiment, except for Orochi Maru, all died in the war. As long as nothing happens to Orochi Maru, the village should not be able to find me."
Several people who joined Orochi Maru at the same time as Hyōjin died in the war. After transferring to the rear, because of the special nature of Byakugan, Hyōjin has been experimenting in an independent laboratory, so he has no intersection with other researchers under Orochi Maru. Except Orochi Maru himself, no one knows the experiment project he is responsible for.
After checking all the hidden dangers in his heart, Hyōjin continued his morning exercise quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
In the next few days, the village was calm, until the third night, an Anbu wearing a fox mask suddenly appeared at Hyōjin's home and took him to a temporary base of the Anbu.
The base was located in the northwest corner of the village, with a large area and very strict security. Hyōjin found that there were as many as seven or eight squads of Anbu guards.
After being taken into a single room, Hyōjin frowned slightly.
The house was very small, without any furniture, and a strong iron fence was installed outside the house. Not only that, but there was also an Anbu guard outside the fence.
Such an arrangement is more appropriate to call it a temporary prison than a temporary base.
There is no doubt that the Anbu directly under Naruto can be so mobilized, it means that Orochi Maru should have officially defected, and the time may be today, or even tonight.
With the talent of Byakugan, Hyōjin calmly observed everything in the temporary prison.
Hyōjin was not the first batch of ninjas to be detained here, nor was he the last. After him, there were still many ninjas who were detained here.
Without exception, all the ninjas who were detained were Orochi Maru's subordinates. There were hundreds of people in total, and several of them were even well-known elite Jonin in the village.
However, this is not unusual. In the war, Orochi Maru has served as the commander of many troops. Over the years, it is not surprising that there are hundreds of old subordinates. After all, Orochimaru isn't qualified to compete with Yondaime-sama for the position of Hokage, if he doesn't even have hundreds of subordinates, then Orochimaru won't be able to compete with Yondaime-sama for the position of Hokage.
Hundreds of prisoners and a similar number of guards made the makeshift prison noisy.
Not everyone is like Hyōjin and knows the whole story. Among the hundreds of Orochi Maru's subordinates, many of them did not know about Orochi Maru's defection, so they showed great dissatisfaction and indignation at being detained here inexplicably.
It was not until Three Generations appeared that the noise gradually subsided.
Now that Yondaime-sama has just taken over, many of the affairs in the village are still managed by Sandaime-sama, and even in the eyes of many ninjas, Sandaime-sama is still habitually regarded as a Hokage.
Under the leadership of Three Generations, the screening work quickly began.
The first to be screened and examined were undoubtedly the elite Jonin with good strength, and as for the Chunin like Hyōjin who was temporarily promoted in the war, it will certainly not be taken care of for a while.
Three days passed in a flash.
Although he is self-aware and knows that a Chunin like him is promoted to meet the needs of the war, his actual strength is only at the level of a senior Genin, and he will not be valued too much.
But after being detained for three days and no one asked, Hyōjin's dissatisfaction slowly accumulated in his heart.
There is no doubt that the screening work of the village did not go well. Many detainees did not believe that Orochi Maru, one of the Sanin, would defect, so they did not cooperate with the investigation.
And on whether to use torture, there are also differences in the village's high-level.
After all, it is just a simple interrogation, it is difficult to distinguish which of the detainees participated in Orochi Maru's human experiments, and which are the undercover agents left by Orochi Maru. It must be known that these detained ninjas have undergone rigorous interrogation training, and they have just experienced the baptism of war. They are not rookies who have just come out of the society.
However, once torture was used, the implications would be too great. It wasn't just one or two people being detained, but hundreds of people. Because of Orochi Maru's defection, it is obviously not a wise choice to torture hundreds of heroes who have just won the war for the village.
On the fifth day of Hyōjin's detention, Danzō appeared in the temporary prison.
Danzō visited the detained Jonin one by one, and no one knows what they talked about. In short, when Danzō left, he took most of them with him.
"They were bewitched by Danzō and joined the root!"
There is no need to think about it, Hyōjin already guessed the result.
If they can't be interrogated one by one, then these detained Jonin will undoubtedly be the biggest unstable factor in the village, so allowing Danzō to recruit them into the root is the village's only choice.
Obviously, these Jonin who are being held in custody have expected their situation in the village. As the former subordinates of Orochimaru, the possibility of being accepted by Yondaime-Sama is very small. And Four Generations is still so young, maybe he can be in power for 20 or 30 years, if they don't find a backer in time, they feel that their days in the village will not be good, so joining the root, independent of Four Generations, is their best choice.
In the next few days, there were also people from the root who invited Hyōjin to join the root, but Hyōjin politely refused, in his opinion, even if he defected, it is better than joining the root, a precarious scapegoat organization that specializes in doing dirty work.
Fortunately, the people from the root didn't embarrass Hyōjin, after being refused, they happily left.
