Chapter 180: Changed in Hyūga Clan
The gates of the Hyūga estate slammed shut behind them, the echoes of the past few days lingering in the air. Inside, the estate was a scene of ruin—buildings in disarray, bodies sprawled on the ground, their fates uncertain. Hiashi Hyūga knelt, unable to rise, a once formidable figure now brought low. The Anbu members who had witnessed it all lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
Kakashi took a moment, processing the scene before him, then finally pulled back his foot from the estate's threshold. He turned to his team and gave a curt order, "Let's go back."
Back in the Hokage's office, the two elder advisors wore grave expressions.
"He was involved in this as well?" Koharu Utatane spoke with an air of certainty, her tone sharp. "Did you find out why?"
Kakashi shook his head.
"You didn't even manage to get a reason?" Homura Mitokado said quietly, his voice carrying a hint of reprimand. "As the Hokage, this is unacceptable."
"If you want to know, then go ask him yourself," Kakashi responded, his tone flat, his patience worn thin. After hearing Naruto's words and reviewing the unsealed memories, he felt a deep impatience toward these two advisors.
"Kakashi!" Koharu snapped, her voice laced with disapproval.
Kakashi chuckled dryly, his masked face obscuring any trace of emotion. "And what about Danzo?"
