Chapter 8
"But speaking of which..."
Just then, Bai Ye stopped and stared calmly at the two "secret team members" in front of him.
"This doesn't seem to be the way to the Hokage Building!"
"Hahaha, as expected of a genius's intuition, it's just different from ordinary people."
Even Aburame Torune had to applaud Byakuya for his composure in the face of danger and his meticulous thinking.
No wonder it attracted Danzo's attention.
"What a pity! You should have pretended not to know!"
Aburame Tokine's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Kakashi arrived at the Ninja Academy on the other side.
Is Bai Ye there?
Kakashi wanted to take Byakuya away, but to his surprise, everyone around him was talking about it.
"Wow, the Hokage really values Byakuya a lot."
"They actually sent two groups of people to summon Bai Ye. How urgent must they be?"
Many people who don't know Kakashi's identity don't understand what this means.
When they learned of Kakashi's reputation as the Copy Ninja, they immediately became envious.
"Bai Ye has definitely caught the Hokage's eye this time."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent such an important person!"
"What do you mean, what's going on?"
Kakashi was completely bewildered. Had the Hokage sent someone else over?
"not good!"
Kakashi seemed to realize something, and quickly prepared to turn around.
"boom!"
A loud explosion in the distance immediately caught Kakashi's attention.
"That direction leads to the root, damn it!!!"
Kakashi is almost about to unleash his nationalistic swearing, the main problem is Danzo is truly inhuman!
Kakashi can only pray that Byakuya is not in any danger!
"This is?"
The closer Kakashi got to the location of the explosion, the more terrifying he felt.
The surroundings were filled with the aura of chakra.
It looked as if a major battle had just taken place here.
"This is!"
What comes into view is a towering tree.
Multiple trees rapidly grew from the ground, uprooted, and together formed such a towering tree.
"What happened?"
Kakashi couldn't believe what he was about to see.
Two members of the secret service were trapped by countless trees and unable to move.
"Would you like to dance too?"
High atop the towering tree, Bai Ye calmly looked down at his two defeated opponents.
Pretending to be a member of the secret service to deceive himself?
Little did Bai Ye know that he had already discovered the other party's identity from the very beginning.
He's lived in Konoha for almost a decade; he couldn't possibly be so ignorant as to not know where the Hokage Building is.
The orange-haired ANBU member immediately reminded him of Danzo's subordinate, Yamanaka Fu!
"You are, Bai Ye?"
Kakashi looked at the domineering Byakuya with some disbelief.
Is this still the Bai Ye I know?
"They tried to harm me, and I retaliated by teaching them a lesson. Is that illegal?"
Byakuya naturally noticed Kakashi's arrival.
But so what? It was the people at the root who attacked me first. I'm just retaliating rationally. Who can blame them?
"Wait, is this Wood Release?"
Kakashi finally realized the most important thing.
It was Wood Release!
Byakuya actually used Wood Release!
At this moment, Kakashi's heart was filled with turbulent emotions!
It's important to know that Wood Release was the exclusive bloodline limit of the First Hokage.
Since the death of the First Hokage, almost no one has awakened.
Moreover, Kakashi had seen Wood Release users before.
Take, for example, the experimental specimen at the root, the current dark-area Yamato.
However, Yamato's Wood Release technique is no match for Byakuya's.
Byakuya destroyed the entire street with a single Wood Release technique, and also defeated two elite Jonin from Root.
Kakashi felt that the world in Konoha was about to change.
"Bai Ye, come with me to the Hokage Building right now!"
Kakashi approached Byakuya and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
"no problem!"
Bai Ye remained remarkably calm in the face of this situation.
Anyway, it was only a matter of time before his strength was exposed. Awakening a top-tier bloodline limit like Wood Release would make things much easier from there.
Soon, under Kakashi's close protection...
Byakuya finally met the Third Hokage.
"You mean, Byakuya awakened Wood Release!!"
After hearing Kakashi's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi's breathing became rapid.
That's Wood Release!
The former Susanoo-clad Buddha, two of them destroyed four countries!
"Bai Ye, do you have any requests?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze towards Byakuya was intensely passionate, which made Byakuya feel a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an answer regarding Danzo!"
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that Byakuya was not speaking, he assumed that Byakuya was still holding a grudge about what had just happened.
So Hiruzen Sarutobi used his Hokage privileges to take out a scroll.
"This contains all the training experience related to Wood Release."
At first, Byakuya thought the Third Hokage was going to teach him a Wood Release ninjutsu.
But I never expected it to be cultivation experience.
Do I need this thing?
Bai Ye almost laughed, considering he was currently at the maximum level of Wood Release.
However, he still flipped through it and found that a lot of the experience on using Wood Release was quite useful!
"Lord Hokage, the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans have arrived!"
Chapter Eleven: The Three Clans' Leaders Stand Firm in Support of Byakuya, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Shock! [Please Collect and Give Flowers]
What are the three clan leaders doing here?
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat confused.
However, he still had the three clan leaders invited in.
Before long, the three clan heads, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, and Nara Shikaku, entered.
"Shikaku, Choza, Inoichi, what brings you all here?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted them warmly.
Even Kakashi couldn't help but tense up, knowing that these three were the pillars of Konoha.
More importantly, the families of these three individuals also hold a very important position in Konoha.
Sometimes even the Hokage has to give them some face.
"uncle!"
When Byakuya saw Yamanaka Inoichi enter, he greeted him.
"Lord Hokage, I heard that Byakuya was in danger, so I immediately brought people over!"
"It's alright, Uncle. It was just some people in the village impersonating the Hokage. I've already taken care of them easily!"
Bai Ye explained slowly.
However, seeing how much Uncle Yamanaka Inoichi cared for him, Byakuya silently remembered it.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi were not focused on this.
"You two know each other?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi never expected that there was such an important matter in Konoha that he was unaware of!
It seems I've been using the crystal ball to observe public sentiment a bit too often lately; I need to tone it down.
"Of course, Ino introduced me to talented young men like Byakuya many times, and that's how we got to know each other!"
Yamanaka Inoichi immediately expressed his stance.
This left Bai Ye both amused and exasperated.
He had only agreed to go to Ino's house to help her with her studies because he couldn't resist Ino's persistent pleas.
Ino didn't tell herself that she had told Uncle Inoichi everything about liking her.
You should know that Yamanaka Ino is the only daughter of the Yamanaka clan.
"Yes, when Bai Ye visited the Hai family last time, Hai Yi kept telling us that he wanted Bai Ye to become his son-in-law!"
Nara Shikaku, who was standing nearby, also added a comment at the opportune moment.
"Uncle, I don't have any plans yet!"
This made Bai Ye even more speechless, but Hai Yi didn't seem to mind at all.
"It's okay, I'm holding on too. I can wait!"
Yamanaka Inoichi said he wasn't in a hurry, since he had already decided that Byakuya would become his son-in-law.
My daughter is quite pretty, this is a perfect match!
"By the way, who was it that tried to hurt Bai Ye?"
Yamanaka Inoichi frowned deeply. He had received news from his daughter that someone wanted to harm Byakuya.
But it doesn't seem like that now.
