The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 29 Hyuga Gen

In the big tent.

Akimichi Toukou waved his hand and drove everyone out, leaving only Shisui by his side.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qiu Dao Qu Feng was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"Master Qufeng..."

Qiu Dao Qu Feng didn't reply, but just sighed deeply.

There are some things that cannot be told to everyone.

[To prevent children from experiencing war, this was one of the original intentions of establishing Konoha. 】

He always kept these words of the first generation in mind.

During the Warring States Period in the Ninja World, the major ninja clans fought each other and would not even spare children. The reason why the Senju, Uchiha and other clans formed an alliance was that they did not want to be manipulated by the nobles on the one hand, and on the other hand, they could no longer tolerate innocent children being affected by the war.

Children represent the future of each clan, each village, and even the ninja world. Ninjas can participate in wars, but children must be protected.

The first and second generation, and even... Uchiha Madara, all took this as their responsibility.

"Do you know..." Akimichi Tofu spoke with a complicated tone, "Back then, Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumogakure led a large number of elite jonin to raid the negotiation site. The Second Raikage was killed on the spot, and Master Tobirama chose to cover the retreat, leaving us, the 'kids' who were in our twenties, thirties, or even forties, to evacuate first...

In his opinion, we, useless guards who can't even guarantee the safety of the Hokage, are also the "future" that needs to be protected! Really, how can the Hokage personally cover the rear of the guards! Otherwise, with Master Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique, how could he sacrifice himself in..."

Shisui remained silent, as if he understood what Qufeng meant.

Of course, Akimichi Norifuge knew Sarutobi Hiruzen's difficulties. Although the title of "Ninjutsu Professor" was loud, how could he compare with the first and second generations in terms of deterrence? Konoha's overall strength was not as good as before, and there were undercurrents surging inside.

Internal and external troubles were like a sword hanging over Sarutobi Hiruzen's head. He tried every means to maintain the stability of the village. He even had to rely on the fact that the era of the previous two Hokage was long gone and fabricated a rumor of "the strongest Hokage" to deify himself...

Just seeing the children coming to the battlefield, especially the southeast front where the situation was the most dangerous, Qufeng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's difficulties.

But, it shouldn’t be like this...

"Master Qufeng." A ninja entered the tent and reported, "Elder Hyuga Gen of the Hyuga clan wants to see you."

"Invite him in."

Qiu Daoqufeng pinched his nose and tried hard to forget all these messy things.

.........

Hinata Gen is the oldest elder in the Hyuga clan and one of the few hawks in the Hyuga clan.

At this time, the Hyuga clan had not yet experienced the cruel baptism of the "Hiashi's death incident" and the "Uchiha clan genocide incident". On weekdays, the clan members behaved a little ostentatiously. Although they did not have the arrogance of the Uchiha clan who looked down on everything, they also had a sense of arrogance.

Hinata Gen's style of doing things is notoriously cold and tough.

Qiu Dao Qu Feng now understands this very well, and he wants to slap the chattering old man to death. "Qu Feng, you grew up under my watch. Even your father would call me 'senior' when he sees me. How dare you be so perfunctory in the face of my request now?"

Hinata Gen didn't take the commander of the Southeast Camp, Akimichi Tofu, seriously at all, and his words and actions showed a condescending attitude towards his seniority.

The strategic abandonment of the southeastern front was a well-known fact in the Konoha jonin circle. Even if Akimichi Tofu managed to withstand the attack of Kirigakure, he would probably suffer heavy casualties. His reputation would inevitably plummet after this battle, which made Hyuga Gen, who already looked down on the opponent, even more arrogant.

"Elder Yuan, I've already said this..." Qu Feng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "I'm sorry about the incident with Hyuga Takeshi. It's true that the Southeast Camp didn't react quickly enough and didn't give the second batch of transport troops enough warning. But now Kirigakure is eyeing us covetously. We can't ignore the defense of the front line and send a large number of ninjas to search for Hyuga Takeshi."

"My son is missing for unknown reasons. Don't you, the Southeast Camp, want to take responsibility?"

"There is no such thing as a war without deaths! Hyuga Takeshi Jonin deserves respect, and we have never given up the search, but we have sent out a large number of ninjas... I'm sorry, I can't give up the entire southeastern front for just one person!" Qufeng could no longer suppress his emotions.

Can't give up the southeastern front? Hinata Yuan sneered in his heart.

Is this a question of whether you are willing to give up? Kirigakure has dispatched 8,000 elite ninjas, and where are you, Akimichi Tofu? Only 2,000! It is impossible to hold the southeastern front!
Unless Kirigakure does not launch a full-scale attack, but...how is this possible?

The best strategy now is for the Southeast Camp to fight and retreat at the same time, to hold back the Kirigakure troops, and wait until the main force of Konoha defeats the Kirigakure in the northeast and then moves south along the coastline, to surround the Kirigakure and annihilate them in the heart of the Land of Fire.

However, given Akimichi Tofu's personality, he would never agree to this, because this would be tantamount to allowing the Kirigakure ninja to act recklessly in the Land of Fire, which would inevitably cause a large number of casualties among innocent civilians.

Theoretically, the best outcome for the Southeast Camp would be to perish together with the Kirigakure. By then, even if Akimichi Tofu was not dead, he would be relieved of all his duties and would definitely bear the blame. Although the tragic ending of the Southeast Camp was due to the decision of the top leaders and the lack of support from the village, the Sandaime and his group of advisors were skilled in shifting the blame, so this was not a big deal.
Since the Southeast Camp and Qiu Dao Qu Feng are destined to withdraw from the stage of history, we might as well do something "useful" now!
After figuring out these things, Hinata Gen's tone became even more impolite:
"Boy, I don't need to tell you how valuable the Byakugan is to Konoha. Don't forget, my son is the head of the Hyuga clan! Don't you know what a pair of Byakugan without the protection of a caged bird means?"

"Understand, but... I must be responsible for the entire southeast front!"

At this moment, even the usually gentle Uchiha Shisui couldn't hold back and wanted to stand up and refute the other party, but was stopped by his boss.

Facing Hinata Gen's aggressiveness, Akimichi Tofu refused to give in and looked directly into the other's eyes.

The two sides looked at each other for a long time.

Hinata Gen finally backed off, looked away, and said gloomily, "I want to meet the other members of the transport team."

"Okay." Qufeng turned to look at Shisui, "Call Zhiwei and the other jonin over."

Before leaving, Shisui glared at Hinata Gen, who responded with a disdainful sneer.

What an impolite Uchiha brat, Hinata Gen thought to himself.

He had no idea that there were many people in the Uchiha clan who were even more rude than Shisui, and he would soon meet one of them...

A few minutes later.

Shiratori followed Aburame Shiwei into the big tent.

After seeing the person coming, Hinata Gen snorted coldly, and with his nose in the air, he deliberately put on an arrogant and domineering look, acting like he was in a great position.
Maybe I judge people by appearance, but when I first saw Hinata Gen, I felt that I would not like this old man because he looked a bit like Danzo.
The same gloomy and serious face, the same tendency to squint the eyes into a thin line - can you see things clearly with your eyes so narrow? It's easy to bump into a tree when you go out.
What? The other person has white eyes? Can he see through things?

That's fine.

Hinata Gen also cooperated very well and said a powerful sentence as soon as he opened his mouth:
"You deliberately abandoned my son and chose to run away?"
