Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow
Chapter 270 Invitation to Identify Friends and Foes
The dull eyes seemed to explain too many problems.
Just when Mizutomon En wanted to say something, his eyes suddenly bulged, and a branch quickly grew out of his open mouth.
The next second, Mizutomon En's body was directly broken by the thick tree trunk.
The rapidly growing tree swallowed him, Shimura Danzo, and Utatane Koharu, who was unable to move and could only watch him being affected.
The huge movement in the office instantly alarmed the people in the entire Hokage Building.
When countless figures were ejected to the vicinity of the tree growing out of Utatane Koharu's office, the entire office and even the room next to it were completely occupied by the tree growing out of the broken wall.
As for the people in the office, they were gone long ago.
However, the sharp-eyed ninja had already found the blood-stained torn pieces of clothing on a tree trunk somewhere.
After a brief exchange of information, the people surrounding the office knew that the three elders, Utatane Koharu, Shimura Danzo, and Mizutomon En, were probably dead at this moment.
Just as everyone was looking at the tree with different expressions, a figure came from a distance and brought shocking news.
"Hyuga Hinata is back to the village!"
Hiss!
Everyone present took a deep breath.
She came back so coincidentally, is she not going to cover it up at all?
Although they were shocked, everyone present was more concerned about the big tree in their sight.
Who said that when people mentioned trees in Konoha, the most easily associated thing was Wood Release.
This made people feel uneasy if they didn't figure it out.
So what these people wanted to know most at this moment was who invented Wood Release.
At the same time, Hyuga Hinata had returned to the Hyuga clan.
"Hinata, it's good to be back!" Hyuga Hiashi's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally let go.
After all, in his opinion, it was too risky to break into the Hidden Mist Village.
"Welcome home, sister!" At this moment, Hyuga Hanabi looked very excited.
After all, the incident in the Hidden Mist Village made the Hyuga family look very proud in the ninja world, and the little fangirl was proud of her invincible sister.
"I'm back, father, Hanabi!" Hinata Hyuga nodded with a smile.
"Sister, you are so amazing!" Hanabi immediately threw herself into Hinata Hyuga's arms and said.
"Okay, Hanabi, stop pestering your sister. Hinata just came back and needs time to rest." Hinata Hiashi immediately said with a stern face.
"Patriarch! Something big happened in the Hokage Building." Just when Hanabi was reluctant to let Hinata Hyuga go after hearing this, a figure appeared in the hall and then reported in a hurried tone.
"What happened?" Hinata Hiashi immediately asked.
"Because Shimura Danzo was not recommended by Koharu Utatane and Enmi Mitokado to become Hokage, he attacked the two consultants and died with them." Hinata Hyuga lightly recounted the established facts before the visitor answered.
"Well, I saw it on the way back." After saying that, Hinata Hyuga deliberately added such an explanation.
"Damn Shimura Danzo, how dare he!" When Hyuga Hiashi heard it, he immediately gritted his teeth in anger.
He really couldn't not grit his teeth, because Hyuga Hiashi was really afraid that his expression at this moment would be affected by emotions and he couldn't control his laughter.
After all, anyone who is not a fool can hear that what Hinata Hyuga said means that she manipulated Shimura Danzo to die together with Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En.
It would be strange if Hyuga Hiashi didn't want to laugh after getting revenge, and he even roared to the sky.
After all, it has been almost ten years since his own brother was forced to death.
In the past ten years, he didn't even dare to tell Hyuga Neji the truth, and he had to endure the resentment of his loved ones and his enemies every day. It can be said that he wanted to kill his enemies more than anyone else.
But he didn't have the ability and strength.
Fortunately, his daughter did what he couldn't do for him.
In fact, Hyuga Hiashi thought that Hyuga Hinata would wait for an opportunity to attack the elders after returning to the village, but she didn't expect that she would attack so quickly, and she solved these three damn trash at once.
"Father, on the way back to the village, I was intercepted by the Root Ninja." Hyuga Hinata immediately explained the reason why she couldn't wait to act.
"Root Ninja, damn Shimura Danzo, he is a mad dog, he should have died long ago." After hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi's face suddenly became gloomy.
But in Hyuga Hinata's opinion, these words made Hyuga Hiashi seem too cowardly.
After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been dead for almost half a month, and her cheap father still dare not speak out to slander him casually.
It can be seen from this that Sarutobi Hiruzen's power is still there, so it is not difficult to imagine how strong his control was during his reign.
"Father, I want to succeed the position of the head of the family tomorrow." Hyuga Hinata spoke while taking out a scroll.
"Does Hinata need to be so anxious?" Hyuga Hiashi asked Hinata after taking the scroll.
"I would like to take this opportunity to invite the clan leaders of each ninja clan in the village to come to the ceremony." Hinata continued.
"Watch the ceremony?" After hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi immediately realized that Hinata might want to use this ceremony to re-establish the reputation of the Hyuga clan.
"Okay!" The old man who was not there before and just arrived now agreed first.
After all, the situation is completely different from before. With a strong record of taking on a village, who dares to question Hinata Hyuga's succession to the position of the head of the Hyuga clan?
So now is the time for the Hyuga clan to show off its power, so how could the old man object?
"Thank you, Grandpa. By the way, I have two immature ideas. I hope Grandpa and Father can help me with some references." Hinata Hyuga said immediately.
After listening, the old man and Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
"Hinata, I'm afraid it won't work. After all, those clan leaders are not stupid." Hiashi Hyuga was interrupted by Hinata Hyuga when he said this.
"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will personally lead the charge and let them wave the flag and shout. I have taken all the risks. If you are afraid of this, then don't come to share this." Hinata Hyuga said lightly.
"Father, what do you think?" Hiashi Hyuga asked the old man.
"Hinata, tell me the truth, what can you do now?" The old man did not answer immediately, but looked at his eldest granddaughter and asked.
"I am confident that I can break into any hidden village, including Konoha, and I can escape unscathed after destroying half of it." Hinata Hyuga thought for a while and replied.
"Okay, very good, with such strength, you can naturally try it, because the situation is completely different. Even if the fifth generation succeeds, he will have to accept this matter with a pinch of the nose." The old man immediately agreed. "In that case, I will write the invitation now and send someone to send the invitation." Hyuga Hiashi also said.
By the afternoon, one by one, the invitation letters were delivered to the hands of various ninja clans in the village and a small number of civilian elite ninjas.
"Shikaku, do you think this is just a simple viewing ceremony?" In the Nara clan, Yamanaka Ino's father Yamanaka Ino looked at Nara Shikaku and asked.
As for whether to go or not, there is no need to ask.
After all, in Konoha at present, no one dares not to give face to the Hyuga clan.
Of course, there are also those who want to give but cannot.
For example, Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane and Mitomon, the ninja clans, did not receive the invitation letter from the Hyuga clan.
The Hyuga clan did not block this news, which means that anyone who is interested has received this information.
But compared with yesterday's yellow flowers, not a fool knows to choose today's scorching sun.
"I'm afraid this viewing ceremony is not that simple. After all, some of their intentions have been revealed by sending invitations without any cover." Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice.
"Then do you want to go? Before coming here, I heard that Asuma came to see Shikamaru?" Akimichi Choza couldn't help asking.
After all, everyone in Konoha knows that the three families of Ino, Shika and Chou are the hardcore fans of the Hokage.
"We must go, after all, the Hyuga clan has invited us kindly, and we have no personal reason not to go. As for Asuma, it is true that he is Shikamaru's leader, but looking for Shikamaru is also a business matter, and we, Ino-Shika-Chou, will always be loyal to the Hokage, and this is a fact that no one can change." Nara Shikaku said lightly.
After listening to Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza immediately understood.
That's right, Ino-Shika-Chou will not betray the Hokage for anyone or any reason. After all, betraying the Hokage is equivalent to betraying the village.
As for being loyal to Sarutobi Hiruzen before, it was only because he was the Hokage and had nothing to do with the Sarutobi clan, that's all.
In fact, during Sarutobi Hiruzen's reign, Ino-Shika-Chou, except for Yamanaka Inoichi's analysis team leader, Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza did not hold any position.
Even if Nara Shikaku told others that the three families of Ino-Shika-Chou had no complaints, it is estimated that no one would believe it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed even his diehards, let alone the families outside of his diehards.
Therefore, when the Hyuga clan used the invitation letter to exclude the four families that were in power before, it was actually sending a message of liquidation to the entire Konoha.
If the Fifth Hokage would be born from the four families of Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane and Mitomon, then Nara Shikaku would most likely find a reasonable excuse to decline the ceremony.
But it is obvious that there is no candidate for the Fifth Hokage among these four families.
Even if they want to put forward a candidate, no one in the village will agree.
Moreover, among the candidates for the Fifth Hokage, both Jiraiya and Tsunade have the absolute advantage of being the one that everyone expects.
As for the fact that these two people are disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, so what?
As long as they are not surnamed Sarutobi, they are not his own people.
If Utatane Kojun and Mitomon En were still alive, Tsunade would probably give them a little face.
This is also the reason why these two people should be eliminated first.
Without the older generation, the relationship naturally faded, after all, the Hokage is the Hokage of Konoha.
So Nara Shikaku would never associate Tsunade with the Sarutobi clan just because she is Sarutobi Hiruzen's apprentice, and then decline the invitation of the Hyuga clan because of this relationship.
In Nara Shikaku's view, Tsunade's only identity is the fifth generation Hokage, who said that the surname Senju is gone now.
"What if the princess of the Hyuga family plans to do something tomorrow?" Yamanaka Inoichi continued to ask.
"It is most likely that she will do something, otherwise the Hyuga clan will not be so anxious to hand over the clan leader, but in the absence of sufficient information, it is better to wait and see."
Nara Shikaku has almost guessed what Hyuga Hinata is going to announce when the clan leaders of various ninja clans gather together.
And this matter must be related to the suppression of the four clans of Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane and Mitomon.
After all, being forced to bow down was absolutely a great shame for the Hyuga clan. You know, the Hyuga clan had a very bright reputation as a thousand-year-old family.
In addition, the person who was sacrificed was the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi. This hatred will not end just because the culprits died.
After all, since the suppression of the top leaders of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the power of the Hyuga clan has shrunk to a certain extent in the past ten years.
Now that we have found an opportunity, it would be strange if we don’t get it back with interest.
Although we knew that the village would be in turmoil because of this, the three people present could not say such nonsense as asking the Hyuga clan to consider the overall situation.
After all, during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen, even they, Ino-Shika-Chou, were able to keep their interests because they were diehards of the Hokage.
It is not difficult to imagine how much benefit other families have been encroached upon. Otherwise, how could a small family that was just insignificant during World War I grow to the level of several large families in such a short period of time?
Among them, only one Uchiha cannot fill this huge gap.
In fact, before the fall of the Uchiha, these four families had already grown to a certain extent.
The thousand-year heritage of the Uchiha is just icing on the cake for the four families.
The next day, with the arrival of the ninja clan leaders one by one in the Hyuga clan, the succession ceremony was completed successfully under the watch of everyone, which was a little hasty but without any forks.
"Dear seniors, thank you very much for coming to attend my succession ceremony today. I am still relatively young. If there is anything inconsiderate in the future, please forgive me, seniors. So please take care of me and give me more advice in the future." Hyuga Hinata sat on the main seat and spoke to the guests.
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly responded politely.
After all, no one dared to underestimate the 12-year-old girl sitting on the main seat not far away.
The previous record of the Hidden Mist Village was scary enough, not to mention what happened yesterday.
After all, the "truth" revealed from Hinata Hyuga's mouth yesterday shocked many people, so no one would take Hinata Hyuga's courtesy seriously.
After the greetings, Hinata Hyuga spoke again: "Dear clan leaders, in addition to inviting you to come to the ceremony, I have another thing that requires you to be a witness, and I also want you to discuss a major event related to the future of our Konoha."
Hearing Hinata Hyuga's words, everyone couldn't help but be on guard.
Because except for a few people, everyone else knew that today's drama had finally begun.
