Mikoto Uchiha's appearance was surprising, yet somewhat expected.
Rakawa had not paid much attention to the person sitting at the front desk before, only knowing it was a female. Since he usually just slumped over his desk to refine Chakra when he came to school, he did not pay much attention to his classmates either.
His different mindset made it difficult for him to associate with these so-called 'peers' or find common ground with them.
What was talked about most in the Ninja Academy nowadays? Nothing more than becoming a ninja, becoming a hero admired by thousands. But he knew the cruelty of the Shinobi World and did not care much for so-called heroes.
To be able to live and do what he wanted was the best outcome.
Now that Mikoto had appeared, judging by her expression just now, it was clear she was not fond of Fugaku Uchiha.
'I never expected to run into her here, Fugaku Uchiha. I wonder if you can still have everything go smoothly for you.'
Rakawa wore a hint of a mocking smile, and the chilling aura sent shivers down the spines of the two beside him.
'The boss is too strange, the boss is too terrifying.'
Maturity beyond his peers, wisdom beyond his peers, strength beyond his peers.
Everything proved that this boss was extraordinary.
He slowly walked out of the Ninja Academy, but just as he reached the entrance, the appearance of four individuals made Rakawa frown deeply.
"What are you doing here?"
Rakawa asked in a calm tone, looking at the four people who had walked in front of him.
The four bowed slightly and said, "Three adults, the Clan Head has ordered that your safety must be guaranteed when you go to and from school during this period."
These four were members of the Hyuga Clan. Judging by their vests, they seemed to be a combination of elite Chunin and Chunin.
The elite Chunin's words made Rakawa ponder. 'Did Senyo send them?'
This situation had never occurred before. There was no one protecting him when he went to and from school. But now, four clan members were guarding him. Could there be some movement within the clan?
Thinking of this, Rakawa asked, "Do you know what happened?"
"Lord Rakawa, the Clan Head did not explain. He only told us to be careful during this time, nothing more."
Rakawa's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he concluded that something must have happened within the clan.
"Is that so? Take me to the Clan Head."
"Yes!"
The elite Chunin said and led the way, while the other three protected them, strictly observing the surroundings.
They walked in silence, Rakawa constantly pondering what might have happened, even considering that the Uchiha Clan might have made a move. But after much thought, he dismissed these possibilities. The Uchiha Clan would absolutely not dare to act at such a time.
Hiashi and Hizashi were also so intimidated by the serious atmosphere that they did not dare to utter a single word, following behind them back to the clan estate.
The few who entered the estate went directly to Hyuga Senyo's Study Room. Hyuga Senyo was currently in the study, as if he knew Rakawa would return there.
Seeing the people who entered, Rakawa waved his hand, and the irrelevant individuals quickly retreated.
"Clan Head, why the sudden vigilance?"
The entire clan was on high alert. The Hyuga Clan members they encountered along the way were all acting cautiously, and their gazes were vigilant.
Hyuga Senyo smiled faintly and said, "Someone plundered a treasure from the clan, so heightened vigilance is necessary."
"Treasure?"
"Of course, what treasure do you think the Hyuga Clan could have that would be plundered?"
"Could it be..."
Rakawa thought of a possibility and looked at Senyo in surprise.
Hyuga Senyo nodded and said, "It's exactly as you thought."
It was hard to imagine such a conversation taking place between a forty-year-old man and an eight-year-old child.
Hyuga Rakawa had brought too many surprises to the clan. From birth until now, the surprises had never ceased.
Just recently, he killed a Chunin, which brought a huge shock to the clan. Although there were many Chunin-level clan members, which one could kill a Chunin at the age of eight?
Therefore, he deserved the title of 'adult'.
Hyuga Rakawa fell silent after learning the truth. The Byakugan was plundered? The clan was now on high alert, so it must mean the Byakugan had been stolen. So, who would have plundered the Byakugan?
If it was within Konoha, it would likely be Danzo or Orochimaru.
Danzo had a high probability, as he had always been collecting Kekkei Genkai. As for Orochimaru, that was basically impossible. Although he was now a morally ambiguous person, his heart should still belong to Konoha at this moment. Even if he researched Kinjustu, he would not attack people from his own village, much less the Hyuga Clan.
"Do you know roughly who it was?"
"Not from the Hidden Leaf Village," Hyuga Senyo answered with certainty.
Rakawa pondered. 'So, it's from an enemy nation?'
At this moment, Hiashi could not hold back. "Who cares who it is? If they go against the Hyuga Clan, teach them a harsh lesson! Just attack them directly!"
He was furious and hot-blooded.
Rakawa felt helpless. 'Can you use your brain a little?' Even if they knew it was a ninja from an enemy nation, without absolute proof, they could not trouble them. Moreover, Konoha could not just start a war casually.
Senyo automatically ignored Hiashi's words and asked, "Rakawa, what are your thoughts?"
The question was thrown to Rakawa, and he was indeed conflicted.
"No thoughts, really. If they haven't left the Land of Fire, then retrieve it and destroy the evidence. But if they've left the Land of Fire, then pretend it never happened."
A glint of appreciation flashed in Senyo's eyes. He stood up and clapped his hands. "Excellent, excellent. It's largely consistent with what I was thinking. Rakawa, I truly did not misjudge you. Your mind is not simple."
"Rakawa, according to the intelligence I've received, you have already become a target for some people. The clan will not let you fall into the hands of others, that is certain. So, during this time, someone will constantly protect you, and furthermore, the Third Hokage-sama thinks highly of you."
