Chapter 137: The Target is Hinata's Byakugan
Nagato murmured. He seemed to see those innocent lives that had died because of him, seeing their resentment and unwillingness.
"It's not too late to turn back now."
Byakuya said, "Use your Rinne Rebirth Jutsu to resurrect those innocent lives."
Hearing this, Nagato suddenly looked up at Byakuya, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He knew that the price of using the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu was his own life, but he also understood that this was the only way he could atone for his sins.
Finally, Nagato nodded; he had made his decision.
"Fine, I will use my life to resurrect those innocent lives."
After Nagato finished speaking, he formed Hand Seals and began to activate the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu.
As he cast the spell, a powerful force surged from his body toward the fallen Konoha Ninjas.
One by one, the Ninjas began to wake up. They stood up again and returned to the battlefield.
As for Nagato, he exhausted his last bit of strength and collapsed to the ground.
"Nagato..."
Byakuya walked to Nagato's side and watched as he slowly closed his eyes.
He knew that Nagato had completed his atonement in his own way.
"May there be no more war in this world."
Byakuya said softly. Carrying this wish, he left the battlefield.
Not long after the Konoha Destruction Operation, Naruto received a mission.
In order to keep the movements of other nations' Ninjas in check, he joined a squad led by the Jonin Hayama to perform patrol work at the border.
Although Naruto, Sasuke, and the others had performed great feats during the Konoha Destruction Operation, they were still Genin after all, and their age was still young. Their experience in executing such missions was not rich enough.
However, there was an old man in Hayama's squad nicknamed the Eternal Genin. Don't look at this title as if it's shameful; his experience was extremely vast. With his addition, the strength of this squad increased by a large margin.
Furthermore, the old man was very good at taking care of people, being responsible for everyone's daily needs.
"Naruto, Sasuke, you two rascals, don't always be lazy."
Hayama looked at the loafing Naruto and Sasuke and couldn't help but laugh and scold them.
"Haha, Hayama-sensei, aren't we just conserving our energy?"
Naruto said with a cheeky grin.
"Honestly, you two..."
Hayama shook his head helplessly, then his expression turned serious as he said, "But having said that, the enemy's activities seem to be getting more frequent lately. You all must be careful."
"Don't worry, Hayama-sensei, we'll be careful."
Sasuke said with a firm look.
Naruto also nodded. He knew the current situation was very grave; Konoha couldn't afford any more losses.
While they were talking, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps came from the distance.
"Enemy attack!"
Hayama's expression changed, and he immediately shouted loudly.
Hearing this, everyone tensed up and immediately prepared for battle.
On the distant hillside, a large group of enemy forces appeared, charging rapidly toward them.
"There are so many of them!"
Sasuke looked at the enemy troops and couldn't help but frown.
"Everyone, don't panic! Act according to the plan!"
Hayama shouted and took the lead in charging out.
Naruto, Sasuke, and the others followed close behind, charging toward the enemy forces.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
After a fierce battle, Team 7 finally completed the mission and returned to the Village.
Just as they returned to the Village, they saw a scene that surprised them.
An Anbu was seen escorting a female Ninja, her body bound with ropes, seemingly captured.
"What's going on?"
Naruto asked, a little puzzled.
"I heard she's an enemy Ninja who infiltrated the Village to gather intelligence and was discovered by the Anbu."
Hayama explained.
"Gather intelligence? Did she reveal anything useful?"
Sasuke also asked curiously.
"Not yet, she's very stubborn and won't say anything."
Hayama shook his head, then added, "However, the Intelligence Team is already preparing to interrogate her. I believe useful information will be obtained soon."
Inside the interrogation room, the female Ninja was tied to a chair, a hint of determination on her face.
"Speak, what is your mission? Who sent you?"
A member of the Intelligence Team asked coldly.
The female Ninja kept her mouth shut, not saying a word.
"It seems you're not going to cooperate."
The Intelligence Team member sneered, then pulled out a strange instrument.
"This is a Brain Exploration Machine. It can directly explore your brain and get the information we want."
Upon hearing this, the female Ninja's expression changed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth, refusing to speak.
The Intelligence Team member didn't waste any more words and directly activated the Brain Exploration Machine.
With a slight electrical hum, a series of images appeared in the female Ninja's mind.
However, when the Intelligence Team members saw those images, they showed surprised expressions.
Among those images, there was actually Byakuya's childhood figure!
"Th-this... what's going on?"
The Intelligence Team members looked at the images, their faces full of shock.
They never expected that there would be images of Byakuya's childhood in this female Ninja's mind.
"Could it be... she's an acquaintance of Byakuya?"
One member guessed.
"Impossible, we've investigated all of Byakuya's acquaintances in the Village, and this person isn't among them."
Another member shook his head.
"Then why does she have these images?"
"This..."
Everyone looked puzzled, unsure how to explain this phenomenon.
Meanwhile, the Chunin Exams were in full swing.
However, just at this moment, Konoha Village was suddenly attacked.
The Village immediately fell into chaos, with shouts of killing and explosions everywhere.
"Neji, Tenten, let's quickly go to the spectator stands to protect Hokage-sama!"
Kiba said nervously.
Neji and Tenten both nodded. They knew that the situation was very critical and they had to rush to Hokage-sama's side as soon as possible.
However, just then, they suddenly received a new mission.
"Neji, Tenten, Kiba, the three of you, immediately head to the west side of the Village. Hinata has been kidnapped by two Cloud Ninja. You must rescue her!"
An Anbu member rushed over, shouting loudly.
"What?!"
The three of them were shocked. They didn't expect Hinata to be kidnapped by Cloud Ninja.
"Moreover, the target of those two Cloud Ninja is very likely Hinata's Byakugan. You must be careful!"
The Anbu member reminded again.
"Understood!"
The three of them exchanged glances and nodded firmly.
They knew this was a very dangerous mission, but they also understood that to retrieve the Byakugan and for the Village, they had to complete this mission.
So, Neji, Tenten, Kiba, and Akamaru formed a squad of four and quickly rushed to the west side of the Village.
