Hokage: Start By Prying Hinata Away

Hyuga Hiashi suppressed his anger: "Okay, then this time, how do you two want me to compensate the Hyuga clan?"

He knew very well that the arrival of these two people was the same as the previous arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen from Third Generation, to fulfill the unreasonable demands of the opposite Cloud Shinobi Village.

Therefore, he did not consider whether it was accurate that the Hyuga clan killed Cloud Shinobi.

The arrival of these two men proved that they had to sacrifice some of their interests to save the village.

Mitokado Homura: "It's not what we want from the Hyuga clan, it's Cloud Shinobi Village. They want to hand over a clan member, preferably...your beloved daughter."

boom!

Hyuga Hiashi could no longer suppress his anger, his eyes rolled open, and he smashed the wooden table next to him into pieces with a palm from the air.

Then, he grabbed Mitokado Homura in front of him by the collar and pulled him up.

Mitokado Homura, whose feet were about to leave the ground, said calmly: "Will the Hyuga clan also rebel against the village?"

Hyuga Hiashi just lifted him up, but took no action.

When he chose to smash the wooden table with one palm, his reason had already defeated his anger.

"Boy, please come back!"

Hyuga Hiashi loosened Mitokado Homura's collar and closed his eyes tightly.

After seeing him let go of his hand, Utatane Koharu on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

In the current situation in Konoha, in her opinion, whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, it must be avoided.

"As a member of Konoha Shinobi Village, please give it some thought. I believe you will make the same choice as your brother."

Mitokado Homura smoothed out the wrinkles on his collar, and turned to leave with Utatane Koharu.

After leaving Hyuga's mansion, Utatane Koharu asked: "Do you think Hyuga Hiashi will compromise?"

"No, but what can he do? We as a whole in Konoha don't have a choice, but he, the leader of the clan, has a choice?"

Mitokado Homura walked in front and answered calmly.

Looking at his back, Utatane Koharu vaguely saw half Sarutobi Hiruzen and half Shimura Danzō.

"Sigh, I wonder when Jiraiya will return."

…………

A few minutes later, two figures pushed open the guest room where Hyuga Hiashi was.

One of the people who pushed in the door was the second elder and the other was Hyuga Neji.

Two days after Hinata was in coma, Hyuga Hiashi took care of the follow-up affairs of the Hyuga clan.

And gave Neji the scroll that Hizashi left for Neji, which recorded everything that happened eight years ago.

After seeing the last words left by his father, and when he looked up and saw Hyuga Hiashi crawling on the ground, saying that he failed to protect his brother, Neji fell into silence.

When the two got closer and noticed the splinters of wood on the ground, they roughly guessed that the conversation was very unpleasant.

Just because not long ago, he saw the wooden table that Hiashi smashed into pieces.

The second elder was the first to greet him: "Master Patriarch, the burial of the first elder has been completed."

Hyuga Hiashi closed his eyes and nodded.

After the death of the first elder, the second elder consciously chose to side with Hyuga Hiashi.

From the perspective of the second elder who can see his life cycle at a glance, the future of the Hyuga clan no longer belongs to him, as long as he can enjoy his old age.

"Also regarding the abolition of Caged Bird, some people in the Zong family are dissatisfied but do not dare to act boldly, while most of the branch houses are skeptical."

After Hyuga Hiashi calmed down a little, he opened his eyes and asked, "Why are you questioning me?"

"They think that what the patriarch said is just to prevent their beloved daughter from being labeled Caged Bird..."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded: "I understand. Anyway, make it clear to the clan members that they are not allowed to control the Caged Bird mark in the future."

"Please step back, Neji will stay for a while."

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch," the second elder bowed out respectfully.

If we only look at his current performance, we would never have imagined that he was the one who came to put pressure together with the great elder before.

"Neji, what do you think about abolishing the branch house system?"

Hyuga Neji raised his eyes and looked at him: "I believe in the scrolls left by my father, but I still don't think the patriarch can complete the reform."

Then he said: "If I want to show my murderous intention to Hinata-sama, can the patriarch guarantee that he will not use Caged Bird to kill me?"

Faced with this sharp question, Hyuga Hiashi was silent for a moment and responded: "No."

Even he, a clan leader who claimed to abolish Caged Bird, couldn't do it, let alone the other clan members.

As long as Caged Bird remains imprinted, the branch house system will never really disappear.

"Besides this, there is something else."

"Master Patriarch, please speak."

"Konoha consultants have just arrived. Their visit this time is consistent with the situation eight years ago."

Hyuga Neji frowned. After he saw the scroll left by his father Hizashi, he became suspicious of Sarutobi Hiruzen's so-called will of fire.

‘It seems that the Third Generation project did not only represent him alone, but also the decision of the entire Konoha leadership. ’

Hyuga Neji was angry inside.

He had always felt that there was something very strange about his father being forced to die by Hyuga Hiashi, but if it was a decision made by the entire Konoha hierarchy, the unreasonable things would be connected together.

…………

On the other side, Mabuyi and others who were talking to Mitokado Homura's two advisors did not leave either.

At this time, Mabuyi, Samui and Omoi were eating in a small restaurant in Konoha.

"Lord Mabuyi, is it really appropriate for us to commit perjury?"

Omoyi, who was sitting opposite, still couldn't help but speak.

Hearing this, Mabuyi took a sip of tea.

"Most of the wars between villages are like this. If the war breaks out if it is our Cloud Shinobi Village, Konoha will definitely use the same method."

Omoyi was still unwilling: "But where is the real murderer? Should he be allowed to go unpunished?"

"What can you get by killing him? Only by putting pressure on the whole village can you get what you want."

Facing Omoi's confusion and questioning, Mabuyi looked very calm.

"Let's eat, five days is not a long period."

The blond and busty girl Samyi on the side rubbed her sore shoulders: "When you become Jōnin, wouldn't it be nice to take revenge on your own?"

"Judging from that guy's strength, even Jōnin isn't enough."

When Omoyi recalled the scene when he was knocked unconscious by Feng'an's punch, a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Didn't you say he's a boy? He has the strength of Jōnin?"

Omoyi nodded cautiously: "I was able to survive only because he was having a civil war with the people in the village at that time, and I escaped during the chaos."

"Really, a genius boy? I'm a little curious. Do you still remember his appearance?"

"In my opinion, it's better if you don't go. That guy is very strong."

"If you say that, I'm even more curious. Mabuyi, can we go meet that guy?"

After Mabuyi swallowed a mouthful of noodles, he said, "Don't forget the mission given by Raikage-sama, and eat quickly."
