BXBX NOVEL Chapter 797 - Sudden Conference
Realizing that he was busy transferring Chakra into the Yin-seal sealing space the entire night and didn’t even realize that the entire night passed, he couldn’t help but smile helplessly and started to note all the observations.
Only after he was done with that did he take a deep breath and got up.
At this time, Kuroto is in good mood. The reason is that the efficiency of storing Chakra in the Yin-seal sealing space has increased to 95 per cent from the previous 90 per cent.
But this is not the best part, the best part is that there is still room for improvement. As long as Kuroto gain better complete control over his body and further improves his Chakra Control, this efficiency can be increased up to 100 per cent. Of course, 100 per cent is still only ideal as it would require complete control over one’s own body and one’s chakra which is nearly impossible unless Kuroto can keep the gate of death open without dying.
Even if 100 percent is an ideal state, Kuroto is still very happy knowing that the efficiency can continue to increase.
While Kuroto was busy thinking of various factors that would help him further increase efficiency, he suddenly sensed something and looked in the direction of the balcony of his room.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an Anbu appeared on the Balcony of his house and informed him, “Hyuga Kuroto-sama, in half an hour from now, Hokage-sama will hold a council meeting. Please be on time to attend it.”
“I understand.” Nodded Kuroto and thanked the Anbu, “Thanks for coming all the way.”
“I… I am doing just my job!” The Anbu was taken aback by Kuroto’s thanks got flustered, and retreated in a hurry, “Now… if you’ll excuse me! I have to inform other members of the council as well.”
After the Anbu was gone, Kuroto looked in the direction of the Hokage Building, wondering why Sandaime-sama decided to hold a Council meeting all of a sudden. He couldn’t think of any solid reason, so he shrugged his shoulders and didn’t care about it.
Kuroto has been busy with the Yin-seal for the past few days so he didn’t pay much attention to the village. Although he was a little surprised by the sudden meeting, there wasn’t any emergency information sent to him by Shisui or Itachi or Pakura or Yagura, so he didn’t think that he had to pay much attention to this meeting.
With this thought in his mind, Kuroto picked up his forehead protector and stood in front of the mirror. This may be a pure coincidence, but the diamond imprint of the Yin-seal lies at the exact center of the ‘Caged Bird’ imprint as if these two imprints were trying to symbolize something together.
Shaking his head with a smile, Kuroto stroked the lavender-coloured mark for a while, then tied the forehead protector.
With that done, Kuroto left his house and went towards the Hokage Building.
…
Conference Room, Hokage Building
As the high-level authority of Konoha gathered, the council meeting finally commenced.
Just like Kuroto, others were also clueless about the purpose of the meeting. Everyone including Jiraiya and Tsunade-him subconsciously looked in the direction of Hokage-sama, waiting for the old man to speak.
In the face of everyone’s confused gaze, didn’t speak much just coughed lightly, “Cough.”
At this moment, two people walked into the conference room. Recognizing the identities of the two people, everyone showed different kinds of expressions. Some were confused, some were curious, and some were doubtful.
Kuroto in particular frowned because the two people were none other than Elder Aoyama from the Hyuga Clan, and Mizuki who used to be an instructor at the Ninja Academy until a few days ago.
Seeing these two people appear at this conference, Kuroto immediately understood the purpose of this meeting and looked in the direction of the Hyuga Patriarch sitting opposite Kuroto. But Hiashi had lowered his gaze avoiding Kuroto’s gaze.
“Since that’s your decision then don’t blame me for being rude.” Muttered Kuroto as his lips arched in a smirk and his expression became nonchalant.
Others were not aware of what was going on, and asked Hiruzen, “Hokage-sama, what’s going on?”
One of the elders of the main family of the Hyuga Clan and a former instructor from the Ninja Academy together? No matter how you think about it, this is a strange combination, more so when they are coming to the Council meeting. Let alone Mizuki, even the elder of the main family of the Hyuga Clan is not allowed to attend this meeting, so what are they doing here?
Before Hiruzen could explain anything, Elder Aoyama spoke, “Allow me to clear everyone’s confusion. This meeting was held by Hokage-sama at the request of the Hyuga Clan. As for the reason for holding this meeting… well… the thing is… for quite a while, we have had a suspicion about something that may endanger the safety of the Village, recently our suspicion was confirmed as such this meeting became necessary in order to ensure the safety of Konoha.”
The words of Elder Aoyama were akin to stones thrown in still water, immediately there were visible ripples in the conference room.
“Endanger the safety of Village?”
“What did the Hyuga Clan discover?”
“If I remember correctly, long ago someone in the Hyuga Clan defected, is it related to that person?”
Everyone was curious and doubtful about the words that Elder Aoyama spoke and looked at him, waiting for the older Hyuga to explain things.
In the face of everyone’s questioning gazes, Elder Aoyama glanced at Kuroto, then turned to Mizuki as he said, “Mizuki, tell everything to everyone, just like you told me.”
Mizuki glared at Kuroto as he muttered to himself with a smirk, “Just you wait and see… this is the price of offending me!”
After Kuroto signed Mizuki’s order, Mizuki once begged him to let him continue to stay in the Ninja Academy, he believed that it was Kuroto’s fault that he embarrassed himself in front of everyone so Kuroto would help him, however, Kuroto didn’t pay much attention to Mizuki’s plea.
For one, he was instructed by Hokage-sama to transfer Mizuki, and secondly, Kuroto didn’t want Mizuki around him either, an idiot with big ambition but no guts or ability, so he didn’t care about Mizuki’s please and even forgot about it after sending him away.
But Unlike Kuroto who forgot about that matter, Mizuki developed extreme hatred towards Kuroto.
And now he is going to make Kuroto pay.
In the face of everyone’s doubtful gazes, Mizuki coughed lightly, then said, “I am Mizuki… former instructor at the Ninja Academy. Not long ago, I saw Principal Hyuga Kuroto-sama having a secret conversation with someone. Although I couldn’t see who the person was, I did hear words like ‘Orochimaru-sama’, ‘gathering intelligence about Uchiha’, ‘Jinchuriki of Nine tails’, and so on.” After a pause, he continued, “Considering that Hyuga Kuroto-sama is a member of the prestigious Hyuga Clan, and has a distinguished status I was scared to confront him, but I knew that if nothing is done, he may cause harm to the village.
A few days back, I happened to cross paths with Hyuga Aoyama-sama and informed him of my findings, I believed that only someone of higher authority could confirm the authenticity of this information and punish the traitor.”
Elder Aoyama took over Mizuki’s words, and spoke, “Although Hyuga Kuroto is a member of the Hyuga Clan, however, a traitor is a traitor and we won’t shelter a traitor. Of course, I personally believe that he is innocent, but the fact that he had connections with Orochimaru in the past can not be denied so my personal belief is not enough to prove his innocence, therefore, I hereby request Hokage-sama to conduct an investigation.”
