I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

Chapter 48 I am a bird of a feather with the two giants of Konoha

Ironically, when Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo went from a fierce quarrel to a tacit consensus and decided to point their guns at the outside world and join forces to hold the culprit accountable, the Hyuga family from top to bottom were all confused and stunned, and had no idea what was happening outside.

Hinata Naraku was forcibly awakened from his sleep by panicked clansmen, and was dragged into the main family's meeting hall in a panic and confusion.

On the tatami in the hall, Hinata Hiashi was kneeling in the main seat with a droopy look on his face, looking extremely aggrieved; on the left, Sarutobi Hiruzen was puffing out smoke rings, his expression changeable and particularly solemn; on the right, Shimura Danzo had a murderous look on his face, perfectly portraying the look of a villain who is the first to complain.

Hinata Naraku swallowed his saliva and stepped carefully on the tatami. He instantly felt the cold gazes of the three pairs of five beams of big shots, all focused on his pale face.

"Heh, it's even more shameless than I thought. Looking at the posture of charging an enemy with an accusation, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura have reached a compromise consensus in private again, and they want to confuse right and wrong and put the blame on my poor Odoudou. But that's also true. This can suppress the anger of the Hyuga family in the most tyrannical and overbearing way, and maintain the face and stability of the village."

Hinata Naraku sneered in his heart, the language art of the level 2 villain brought him not only the skills of being the first to complain, turning the tables, calling a horse a zebra, confusing right and wrong, making trouble, the thief crying "stop thief", and making false statements... but more importantly, the philosophy behind this set of words.

Therefore,

To a certain extent, Hyuga Naraku, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo can understand each other as birds of a feather. The only one present who is the only white lotus who is excluded and bullied.

If this method is used on any other person being bullied, it may cause a quarrel on the spot. However, when it is used on Hyuga Hiashi, the head of a wealthy family who is always rational but weak, it will probably produce jaw-dropping effects, and it has been proven time and time again.

"Hyuga Naraku, you must answer the questions that the Hokage and Danzo-sama ask you later truthfully without hiding anything. This matter concerns your Ou Doudou, and even more so the innocence of my Hyuga clan. Do you understand?" Hyuga Hiashi had a cold face. This was the biggest hint he dared to give in front of the two giants of the Hokage faction.

Hyuga Naraku opened his mouth, looking confused about the situation, but he was also very frightened and submissive, which made Hyuga Hiashi's expression slightly better.

"Where is Hyuga Neji?" Danzo Shimura suddenly asked in a cold voice.

Hinata Naraku was startled and stammered in fear: "No, I'm not at home!"

"Where did he go?"

"I have no idea!"

"You are his elder brother, how could you not know? I tell you, Hyuga Neji killed three Root members. The nature of his crime is extremely bad and serious. Don't think about concealing or shielding him, otherwise..." Danzo Shimura didn't say anything else, but the eerie tone undoubtedly explained everything.

Hinata Naraku was horrified, as if he had just learned about this. His mind went blank and he froze in place, forgetting to reply to Shimura Danzo.

In fact, this was the most untrue reaction. On the contrary, any answer he gave just now would inevitably be regarded by the cunning and suspicious Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi as a pre-arranged lie or collusion.

"Don't be afraid. We believe that what Hyuga Neji did has nothing to do with you. Take your time to recall and think about where Hyuga Neji is most likely to be and why he did this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended to comfort him, but in fact there was a deadly trap hidden in his words.

But,

If Hyuga Naraku revealed even the slightest bit, Hyuga Neji would have trapped himself if he refused the invitation to "drink tea", because Danzo had never explained to anyone what the Root was doing, even to the Hokage, Danzo never mentioned the matter of "drinking tea".

Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed it clearly, it was a tacit understanding between the two of them, and Hyuga Naraku should not be aware of it, unless Hyuga Neji told Hyuga Naraku the truth through a letter after killing someone.

Compared to Danzo Shimura, who had all his badness written on his face, making people subconsciously on guard, Hiruzen Sarutobi's evil was hidden in his soft knife, making it hard to guard against.

If it were Hyuga Hiashi, he would definitely be trapped. Fortunately, Hyuga Naraku is also a liar who tells lies all the time.

"I don't know. Neji and I don't have a very good relationship. He thinks I'm a waste, so he doesn't want to tell me anything, and..." Hinata Naraku paused and asked carefully, "Is there something wrong? How could Neji kill members of the Root? It's impossible for him to kill members of the Root!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo looked at each other and made similar judgments in their hearts - Hyuga Naraku didn't seem to be lying, he really seemed to know nothing.

Hyuga Hiashi, who was listening with a gloomy face, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. So far, Hyuga Naraku's answers had been flawless. He now very much did not want Hyuga Neji to be arrested, because no matter what the reason, it was a bloody fact that Hyuga Neji killed members of the Root.

Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to argue or whitewash this matter. Once Hyuga Neji appears and is arrested at this moment, it will be hard to say how things will develop next.

Hyuga Hiashi didn't care about the fate of Hyuga Neji. What he was worried about was that if Neji fell into the hands of the Root, and if Sarutobi Hiruzen took sides, Shimura Danzo would take advantage of the situation and force the Hyuga clan to pay compensation to the Root or give up certain interests. You must know that Shimura Danzo never gave up his evil intentions towards the Hyuga wealthy family. After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, he had long wanted to reach out to the Hyuga clan.

What worries Hyuga Hiashi even more is that in this incident, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude is that he is standing on the side of Shimura Danzo, contrary to his usual behavior, and helping the Root to put pressure on Hyuga?

This was an extremely dangerous signal to him, so even though he felt aggrieved and indignant in his heart, he dared not show it on the surface.

In fact, he also vaguely understood in his heart that the cause of the incident should be the monster that ran out of the laboratory that night. His explanation of knowing nothing at the time made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel uneasy, and thus he began to make inappropriate speculations and fears about the Hyuga family.

The truth was pretty much what he thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have such thoughts, the Hyuga clan was too low-key and tolerant, like a turtle that always stayed under the water, was it really just because they were weak, or was it because they had big ambitions, hiding some unknown horrible secret.

sometimes,

Once the seeds of suspicion were planted, they could no longer be stopped. Originally, he did not want to irritate the sensitive and fragile nerves of the Hyuga clan, but now, the more the Hyuga clan was forbearing and submissive, the more uneasy Sarutobi Hiruzen felt. He looked at Hyuga Hiashi, who seemed to be able to swallow any grievances, and he began to feel a little scared...

He must see what cards are hidden under the solid shell of the Hyuga family, so that he can sleep well as the Hokage.

How to say~

It cannot be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea did not wrongly accuse the Hyuga clan, but it was not entirely wrong. There were indeed some unknown and terrifying secrets hidden behind these [cataracts] waiting to be discovered...
