Chapter 53 White Zetsu's filming is over
"Hanabi, you're too naive. Don't be fooled by the insincerity of strangers—no matter what they say, they can't explain why those Rain Ninja are in our Hyuga clan!"
As the situation grew increasingly dire, Hiashi Hyuga grew anxious. After speaking only halfway through to Hanabi, fearing that Bai Mo might offer some further rebuttal, he turned to Bai Mo, his hand trembling as he pointed:
"And the day before, you came to the Hyuga residence and, seeing Hanabi training alone, remarked, 'Why is nobody here?' After I discovered this, you asked a nonsensical question and changed the subject before leaving!"
"Is that so?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and looked at Bai Mo.
"Oh, then could the Hiashi clan chief repeat to your Hokage what I asked?"
Bai Mo remained calm.
The calmer Bai Mo remained, the more uneasy Hyuga Hiashi felt.
After hearing what Bai Mo said, Rizu racked his brains to recall, but couldn't find anything wrong with yesterday's question.
Looking up to meet the gazes of three generations above, he had no choice but to comply.
"He asked me yesterday what I would do if I met a wanderer who was born with a disdainful eye."
I said I could take that person back to the Hyuga branch family.
"Is there a problem?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi then looked at Bai Mo.
"Is that child still alive?"
Bai Mo did not answer, but instead looked sadly at the one-armed Bai Jue beside him.
The one-armed White Zetsu sliced open its abdomen with its fingers and took out a small White Zetsu with white eyes.
"W-What is this?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hiashi Hyuga were both startled.
"That's right. During the Third Shinobi World War, one of them had a relationship with a man from the Hyuga clan."
Due to the practice of secret arts and the chaos of war, the children's development was incomplete, and they could only be stored in their bodies in turn, absorbing nutrients and slowly developing into their final form.
As a result, each of their bodies became extremely vulnerable.
"The question I asked the Hyuga clan leader yesterday was to find out how he would treat this child."
When I got back, I told them.
I didn't want my child to be branded a caged bird by your heartless Hyuga clan from birth, but they thought family was the most important thing, and without consulting me, they went to see you today, and the result was..."
Bai Mo stopped there and didn't continue.
Hiashi Hyuga stayed there.
Little Firework opened her mouth wide, and tears gradually welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Waaah—I didn't mean to! Baby, don't die~"
Hanabi ran crying to the White Zetsu baby, reaching out to touch it, but then became afraid of hurting it.
"Chief Hiashi, don't even think about destroying this child's eyes. The secret technique we practice will cause the body to become completely plant-like after death, and the Byakugan will be no exception."
"And also, little sister, this has nothing to do with you, it was your father's slap that..."
The one-armed White Zetsu offered some words of "comfort" to Hanabi.
"No, if it weren't for my subconscious attack, if I had just listened to what they were saying..."
Hanabi shook her little head, feeling very guilty.
"Sigh, what do you want to do?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
His words were tantamount to announcing that they were indeed in the wrong this time.
"What should we do? Your Konoha should have precedents for handling this kind of situation, so you don't need to ask us, right?"
Bai Mo smiled faintly.
"You?! So you knew about Kumogakure after all. You came prepared; this was premeditated!"
Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga immediately snapped out of his daze, his Byakugan eyes, veins bulging, fixed intently on Bai Mo.
"You're overthinking it, Clan Chief Hiashi. If we really wanted the Byakugan like the Hidden Cloud Village, we wouldn't have thought of bringing the child here. Isn't the Byakugan on the child the Byakugan too?"
As long as I keep it from you, do you think you can come after us and carve the caged bird curse mark on the child's head?
Bai Mo's words once again left Hyuga Hiashi speechless.
He was rolling his eyes the whole time because he was angry.
The white eye was examined by the child, but nothing was found to be abnormal. Indeed, the white eye gradually disappeared after the child stopped breathing, which perfectly matched what the other party said.
In other words, if the other party, like the Hidden Cloud Village, wanted a pair of Byakugan, then there was indeed no need for them to appear.
"So what exactly do you want? Is it like the Cloud Ninja back then, that you want Hiashi's corpse?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table with his pipe.
"Our Amegakure is very peace-loving. What use would we have for corpses? Let Chief Hiashi come here and work for us for a few years."
"Oh right, if you're worried that we'll covet your Byakugan, Chief Hiashi can carve a caged bird on himself to prevent us from stealing your Byakugan."
Click.
When Hiashi Hyuga heard Bai Mo's words, he clenched his fist.
Although the other party did not want him to die, what difference is there between this and death?
"Father, please let me go!"
Suddenly, Xiaohuahuo took a step forward and stood out.
"Hanabi, you..."
"Father, I am the one who caused this incident, and I must take responsibility."
Hanabi stubbornly raised her head and looked at Hiashi Hyuga.
"Gentlemen, this matter is of great importance. Please allow us a few days to discuss it, and we will give you an answer after the Chunin Exams, how about that?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up just in time, interrupting the impending argument between the father and daughter.
"no problem."
Bai Mo indicated that he didn't care.
In fact, he had guessed from the beginning that Hiruzen Sarutobi would eventually choose to stall for time.
One reason is to investigate the current strength of Amegakure.
For example, information such as whether Hanzo the Salamander is still alive.
For example, the authenticity of the blood used as a testament to death.
Secondly, we must first stabilize Hyuga Hiashi to prevent the Hyuga clan from becoming disloyal when the Tsuchikage and Mizukage launch attacks during the Chunin Exams.
Especially since Amegakure, an ally of Iwagakure and Kirigakure, suddenly had such a conflict with the Hyuga clan today, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but suspect that Iwagakure and Kirigakure were really brewing some kind of conspiracy.
We must be cautious.

They left Konoha Village.
Bai Mo took out the scroll that he had asked for back, which contained the seven corpses of Bai Jue, and handed it to the one-armed Bai Jue.
It means to take them back to Amegakure and bury them in peace.
"There's no one left."
Karin, who had followed, spoke up.
"Let it out."
"Yes."
Under Bai Mo's command, the one-armed Bai Jue released the shattered remains of Bai Jue from the scroll.
Bai Mo stepped forward and pressed down on a corpse, which began to rapidly regenerate. Subsequently, a White Zetsu was successfully "resurrected".
The reason Bai Mo was unable to treat Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi's wounds before was not because too much time had passed, but because the wounds had scabbed over, healed, and "changed."
Just like how Bai Mo can't touch a person and directly turn them back into a fertilized egg.
Crazy Diamond's ability is not time reversal, but restoration.
Similarly, Crazy Diamond cannot resurrect someone who is completely dead.
Because when someone is completely dead, their soul has left their body. Even if the body is repaired, they are still just a living dead who can survive for a while longer.
But Bai is definitely not the same.
White Zetsu has no soul.
Therefore, Bai Mo, upholding the traditional virtue of "diligence and thrift," successfully restored and revived all eight actors who played Bai Jue.
Why is it eight digits?
Because there's also that little eye-rolling baby.
The severed arm of the White Zetsu has also been restored.
These are the factory's future workforce, and we can't afford to lose them carelessly.
