Chapter 14
~Timeskip 3 years~
A lot has changed in these three years in the ninja world. Most Hidden villages managed to recover most of the resources they lost in the ninja war. Which led most of them to make some moves. Especially Kumogakure.
Kumogakure launched an attack on Konoha in the disguise of peace talks. Their aim was to kidnap the Hyuga princess and bring the Hyuga bloodline into Kumogakure. This way they could also have the Byakugan in Kumogakure. But unfortunately the kidnappers were stopped by the Hyuga patriarch. In his rage he killed the enemy ninjas giving the Hidden cloud a reason to start the war. They demanded Konoha to give them the killer of their ninjas. They were hoping this would give them a valid reason to start the war, after all no village wanted to be branded the bad guy. But to their utter disappointment The third Hokage agreed to hand over the killer.
This action of the third hokage put the Hyuga clan in a difficult spot. Although most of the Hyuga clan elders would like to let Hiashi take the blame, they cannot allow the clan to be humiliated and let the byakugan spread to other ninja villages. So they decided to select a scapegoat for them. And that scapegoat became Hizashi Hyuga the younger brother of Hiashi and the leader of the branch family.
Hiashi argued with elders for hours to save his brother's life, to him his brother’s life is worth more than a clan that wanted to cripple their own people. But he was finally stopped by Hizashi.
Hizashi then sacrificed himself to Kumo ninjas to save his elder brother. But unlike the cannon he didn’t kill himself in the clan compound but he went on a suicide mission. After he was brought away from Konoha he broke through his restraints and killed more than 20 elite Kumo ninjas. The reports say that just when they were about to come near a Kumo hideout he went on this rampage.
His body was not retrieved due to the fact that he killed himself with the last remaining elite ninja with an explosion tag. Due to this explosion both the elite ninja and Hizashi’s bodies were turned into ash. If not for the eyewitnesses from the reinforcement team Kumo would have believed that Konoha secretly rescued Hizashi.
And weirdly enough Kumo didn’t pursue this matter again. Normally they would demand Konoha to pay more compensation with excuses like ‘ you ordered Hizashi to kill our ninjas ‘. But this time they couldn’t do that. In the investigation they found that the explosion tag that was used in the battle was from a Kumo ninja who was found dead in battle.
Unlike the standard Explosion tag this one was brought from the underworld making it quite valuable. Reports say that he purchased this explosion tag to kill his girlfriend who was cheating with a weapon merchant. His plan was to kill both of them in an explosion making it look like an accident. In fact he was about to kill both of them after coming back from the mission. He planned so that no one would suspect him as he just got back from a mission.
The Hidden concluded that Hizashi on his way to Kumo spotted the explosion tag so he decided to do a last mission to the village. As they say a dead man has very little loose after all.
