| abstract | - Kumogakure denied all accusations of the kidnapping, and demanded the body of Hiashi as compensation for the death of their Head Ninja as per the stipulations of the treaty. Hizashi Hyūga decided to go in his brother's place as they were twins and Kumogakure would not be able to tell the difference. This had another advantage, besides saving the life of the head of the clan; Hizashi's cursed seal would seal his Byakugan upon his death, safeguarding its secrets. Despite Hiashi's protest and their father's behest, Hizashi chose on his own to do this, not only for the clan and village, but for his brother. The details surrounding Hizashi's death are quite well-known among the high-ranking ninja of Konohagakure, most of them taking it as a serious infraction on Kumogakure's part. This was shown when Yamato called out the Fourth Raikage for his relentless pursuit of Sasuke Uchiha, comparing the latter's supposed abduction of Killer B to their attempted theft of the Byakugan and noting that Konohagakure remained magnanimous while Kumogakure were vindictive. While they are not allies, Konohagakure and Kumogakure seem to have come to cordial terms in recent years.
