The light of leaves

Chapter 361 Children's Words Are Free, Children's Words Are Free
After the Greer ruins incident, the ninja world was peaceful for three years, but behind this rare calm, there was an undercurrent surging quietly.

Konoha, within the Hyuga clan.

In the hall, angry Hyuga clansmen were confronting several Anbu wearing animal masks.

"What did you say?" a Hinata clansman roared.

"Don't be impulsive, this is Hokage-sama's order, which is Konoha's will!" Ryoma said calmly.

"But, obviously we are the ones being bullied! It was Yun Yin's people who coveted Lord Hinata's eyes, and that's why Nizuzu-sama chased and killed him!" Yuri Xiang clansman said angrily.

"But it is also a fact that important people in Yunyin died at your hands. For the sake of peace, this is a necessary sacrifice!" The oil girl Ryoma remained unmoved.

"But……"

"No but!" Oil girl Ryoma said coldly, "Does the Hyuga clan want to drag Konoha into the war for their own selfishness?"

"Stop talking!" Rizu raised his right hand, gesturing for the clansmen to be quiet, "Tell me, what are Yunyin's conditions?"

"Hand over the murderer, that is, the body of the Japanese patriarch!" Ryoma said, "Only in this way, the war will not break out, and you can enjoy peace!"

Hearing this, the repressed anger of everyone in the Hyuga clan burst out.

"Hand over the patriarch? This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!"

"What do you think of our Hyuga Clan?"

"The patriarch is the clan, I think Yunyin and those bastards just want to win the white eyes!"

"Actually, it's not impossible to turn things around!" Ryoma suddenly said under the excited atmosphere, "It's just that Hokage-sama may have to go back and forth about this matter..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard Rizu say, "No need, I voluntarily die!"

"What!" The corners of Ryoma's mouth twitched wildly under the mask, "I haven't finished yet!"

"I know what you're going to say, but don't say too much." Rizu looked indifferent, "I won't agree!"

Of course he knew the other party's intentions, and it was nothing more than asking him to stand up and support that Hokage-sama with a clear banner.

It has been three years, that Hokage has not even managed to control the major families of Konoha, not to mention completely consolidating the power of Hokage.

Of course Danzo was unwilling, but after becoming Hokage, because no one gave him the aftermath, he couldn't act as unscrupulously as before, at least he had to have a reasonable excuse.

Therefore, when he knew that the person he killed was an important person of Yunyin, Nizuru knew that this day would come sooner or later, and Danzo would not let go of this opportunity to threaten Hinata!

"You bastard!" Long Ma's eyes were full of anger, "You want to die that much?"

"Of course I don't want to die, but some things are more important than life!" Rizu said solemnly.

He was rescued by Soseki, taught by Soseki, and received many favors from Soseki, so he was naturally extremely grateful to Soseki.

Although because of his family, he couldn't openly support Soseki like those young people, but he would definitely not be able to do things for Danzo!
Behind the screen in the hall, Hinata poked her head out timidly. She was only three years old and had no concept of many things, even the meaning of death.

"What are father and everyone talking about? Why are you arguing?"

Behind her, a clear and tender voice came.

"It's because of morality. Uncle doesn't want to betray his own morality! Like his father, he is a supporter of Master Shimizu Soseki!" Neji said with longing eyes.

Although he is only one year older than Hinata, as a branch family, his mental maturity is much earlier than Hinata.

Not to mention, his father often told him about that lord's deeds, and never concealed his admiration for that lord!

"Master Shimizu Soseki?" Hinata tilted her head, keeping the name in her heart.

In the hall, the conversation continued.

"Volunteer to die? Nichizu Clan Head, you have to think about it!" Ryoma threatened indiscriminately, "If you, as the clan, lose your eyes, it will be a major blow to the Hyuga Clan!"

"This……"

"Let me come, I will die on his behalf!"

The sudden sound surprised everyone. Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a man who looked exactly like Rizu came out from the crowd, except that his forehead covered the imprint of the bird in the cage with a forehead protector.

"Nizai, you..." Rizu said in surprise.

"Don't get me wrong, I still hate the Zong family as before!" Rizai said indifferently, "However, now I can see more things clearly!"

"No, you still have Neji..."

"Long-winded, when did you talk so much nonsense?"

Ryoma's eyes were gloomy. These bastards would rather die than serve Hokage-sama. In his opinion, it is simply unforgivable!
"Have you said enough? What Yun Yin wants is someone who killed their leader!"

"The person who killed the leader of Yunyin was actually me, but the night was dark, and the people at that time couldn't see his face clearly! Why, does Master Hokage want to help Yunyin's people investigate the truth of the matter?"

"This bastard!" Ryoma was secretly annoyed, Hokage-sama originally wanted to win over the Hyuga clan, but these bastards dared to reject their "good intentions"!
You can use peace as an excuse to sit back and ignore the persecution in the outer village, but if you help the people in the outer village to persecute, maybe everyone in the village will say that Hokage-sama is Yun Yin's lackey!
Thinking of this, Ryoma said angrily, "Then you should die!"

Suddenly, a small figure rushed out from behind the screen and hugged Ri Zai's thigh.

"No, I don't want you, father, to die!"

Looking down at Ning Ci, Rizai touched his head tenderly, "Don't feel sorry for me, I can practice my faith and die, I..."

However, before he finished speaking, Neji stretched out his arms to protect him behind him, and roared at Ryoma and the others, "If you want to target Soseki-sama, then go to him directly, why are you coming to trouble your father and the others?" , or...don't you even have the courage to face Soseki-sama directly?"

Hearing Ning Ci's roar, everyone in the hall changed expression suddenly.

Although they could have guessed the intention of that Hokage-sama, there is still a difference between tacit understanding and openness, which is equivalent to bringing the dirty things in the shadows to the table.

The elderly members of the Hyuga clan coughed repeatedly.

"Children's words are free, children's words are free!"

"Don't pay attention to the few!"

Ryoma's complexion was very ugly, but he managed to force a smile, "Children, of course I don't care!"

But at this moment, a stern voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Really? I think what he said is quite reasonable!"

"Aren't those Hokage-sama's subordinates just a bunch of cowards?"
