You monster! How could you bully Hibiki like that!


Look at that face! Those eyes! Those Ears! How could you bully someone so adorable?!

Your a dog lover aren't you!

 

; o ; i'm so sorry oh god what have i done

[REGRET INTENSIFIES]

Spoiler

Sure is lonely in here...could really use an update to keep me warm...

 

well...at least neji won't blame his clan...

oh shit does this mean we also get hinata's father killed he'll have no brother to die for him when kumo tries and take hinata.

 

If the Hyuga incident happens, then Hiashi won't hand himself over; the head of one of Konoha's great clans just bending over would provide a weakness to Konoha's rep.

Most likely, either Kumo backs down, a cold war/actual war between Kumo and Konoha begins. (The latter is less likely)

 

No, but he might blame the Uchiha.

Also, Black Zetsu, the fuck man?

 

Eh, right now Minato is still more or less 'just' Minato.
Disappearing him and his team here would draw attention, but there's a war going on to distract everyone and it would likely be a lot less troublesome than the team of incredibly potent trackers backed by instantaneous mobility finding a trail that leads directly to the lair Madara can't really leave.

 

Neji is like what 1 years old he most likely won't really blame anyone he didn't get to know his fathers sadly.

 

But the real question: Since we're the ones who convinced Minato to go on this mission, will we feel guilty for Hizashi's disappearance and become Neji's Nii-chan?

 

I dunno that's up to you :3

If they started tracking Obito from that spot, then temporary Team Minato would stumble upon Madara's base. Zetsu got antsy.

The Byakugan was the danger there; it could catch Zetsu moving (though he's too fast to glimpse when he's using Mayfly). Hizashi's eyes might've seen through the ground and into Madara's layer if he got in range, so Zetsu had to run some interference.

Once the party is derailed, he'll try leaving a false trail out of Grass, and clear up any sort of evidence that could lead Minato to Madara and Obito.

Zetsu = Super spy/The Real Mastermind/bad guy

 

God dammit, Zetsu. All we wanted was our Nii-chan...

 

Well we all knew this was a possibility. Let's just be glad that Minato is still alive, for the moment, and that he now knows Zetsu is a thing, as well as that Obito is missing. Assuming Minato lives, and I'm assuming he will since Zetsu fucked up and didn't take him out with his alpha strike, then we should be seeing some very nice butterflies from this.

 

Including potential trouble between Hiashi and Minato which might mean he doesn't become the next Hokage.
Will have to see where exactly this goes, but if Minato comes back from a personal outing with nothing to show for Hizashi's death, that's not going to look well for him.

 

Possibly. But something to be considered is that Zetsu manage to take by surprise the younger brother of the Head of The Hyuuga Clan with his Byakugan active, the Heiress of the Inazuka and her tracking hound, and Minato Namikaze a S-Rank Ninja and the fastest man alive.

They didn't even know he was there until he'd put a hole into Hizashi's chest. That is a big threat that no one even knew existed, it only appeared when Minato was searching for his students body, and I doubt Minato is going to miss the corralization that Zetsu might have done something to Obito.

 

I wonder if Hiashi will adopt Neji? Neji, Pride of the Hyuuga and Heir to the Clan would certainly be a butterfly.

 

Well, objectively speaking, yes, but unless they manage to get a Zetsu corpse, they're still likely to return with empty hands, which is easily something his critics (or grieving relatives) can latch on to to discredit him.
Zetsu bypassing all of their precautions is incredibly easy to spin as them not being that good after all, which is bad news when you're currently vying for enough respect to be the next Hokage.

Without any idea of who is really behind this attack, who they are working for, what their exact capabilities are, what they are doing right now, what their goal was, etc, all you really have is a lot of question this team has failed to get answers to and a new threat in the middle of a harsh war, which just isn't something anyone will be happy to hear, so unless Minato manages to get something out of this, this will likely be bad for his career.

 

Fair points, but as for the discrediting thing, I doubt that is too likely to happen. Hizashi was the Byakugan user who was supposed to be checking the surroundings, not Minato, so Hiashi can't really blame Minato without saying his brother was unskilled and or unsuited to be taken on what was supposed to be a simple location and retrieval mission.

 

There's also another fact that Minato was a War Hero, and student of Jiraiya. He has much more credibility than most people, and if someone managed to get the pass by him, then you better think that someone is dangerous as heck.

 

Shame it was just a punch through the gut/chest...
If Zetsu also karate chopped through one of Hizashi's shoulders and down to his gut, it'd be a full rendition of how a major character (some would argue the main character) gets killed in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo

 

Hiashi also wasn't there and neither was anyone else, except the people whose competence would be implicated and who therefor have every reason not to mention their own failures.

Our own clan is more or less convinced that Kakashi stole Obito's eye and may even be at fault for his death, in spite of that being completely inaccurate.
It's pretty easy for people who are angry and grieving to find someone to blame and not only is it completely impossible for someone who wasn't actually there to be exactly sure how things played out, but Minato is already going to be someone easy to blame because he was the only reason Hizashi went in the first place and was mission leader.

Especially once you consider that any absolving of Minato comes with either claiming Hizashi fucked up or admitting a major failure of the Byakugan against an enemy that's still out there, which in either case would be a blow to the Hyuuga pride.
Far more easy to adopt a position of the rest of the team failing in their agreed upon duties or Minato pushing Hizashi too hard and that this was the only reason the Byakugan was caught off guard.

Besides, even if Hiashi himself manages to keep a cool head, I can't help but believe that at best there'll be a similar reaction as to the Obito thing, with a lot of grumbling and misplaced anger among the clan even though the clan head more or less acquiesces.
And, if people angry over either incident here of the other one, odds are the grumbling will intensify, which leaves Minato with a poor reputation among two of Konoha's most powerful clans and the possessors of its (only?) kekkai genkai.

 

Truly, Hibiki has fucked with this timeline something crazy.

 

Land of Snow. Kakashi probs won't be there.

 

How so? I don't think anything we've done would alter that series of events?

 

Interestingly, if Nix's Warden's prediction about Minato getting discredited holds true, Fugaku could end up as the Hokage, since, unless I'm mistaken, he was considered for the position along with Minato.

 

I think Hiashi was as well. And Chouza, and whoever the Aburame head is. All four Noble Clan heads would make good candidates, no?

 

Do you have any evidence supporting that? As far as I know, the only listed candidates were Orochimaru, Fugaku, and Minato.

 

Ah but your all forgetting the most important person! Orochimaru was a potential fourth Hokage was he not? Wouldn't that be fun~

 

*coughs politely and points at Orochimaru listed in the post above.*

 

Minato probably wont become the hokage since he promised to bring Obito's body back with him, just like Naruto promised to bring Sasuke back.

... And you all know how well that turned out.
