"Konoha is magnanimous. Before you leave, don't forget to bring back the body of Prisoner of War, Xi!"
Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the solid desk, and angry roars confronted each other without fear. The person who uttered such irrational words was none other than the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi!
At this moment, he exuded an invincible aura.
"Clan Chief, the Byakugan, which was lost by the Hyuga clan, has apparently been acquired by the Hidden Cloud Village. They have never ceased their plundering of the Hyuga clan over the years!"
[Clan Chief, the Fourth Raikage has recklessly assigned the fate of our branch family on the battlefield! We beg you, Clan Chief, to uphold justice for us!]
Clan Chief, if it weren't for Uchiha Ara single-handedly stopping the Eight-Tails from Kumogakure and disrupting the battle, we might never have been able to return!
[Clan Chief, Uchiha Ara has captured Hii from Kumogakure. The time for revenge has come!]
【Chieftain.........】
last night,
Not only were the lights in the Hokage Building still on,
The lights of their clan's territory never went out!
Those members of the branch families who had followed the army to the eastern border to provide support, or those members of the Hyuga clan who had heard news of the war after their comrades returned, all knelt before the gates of the main family.
Those heartfelt calls, from the depths of his soul, left Hiashi Hyuga speechless for a long time.
Yes,
Within the Hyuga clan, the branch family has only one most important mission: to protect the main family members at any cost, even at the cost of their own lives, in order to ensure the purity of the family bloodline and prevent the leakage of this special bloodline limit.
Several years ago,
Hyuga Hizashi died a humiliating death in order to fulfill this mission.
In fact, countless members of the branch families have sacrificed themselves over the past century to protect the main family and the Hyuga Byakugan.
And most of them were willing to die.
It's not just for the main family, but for the entire Hyuga clan, and even for Konoha Village, to which they belong.
but,
Do members of the main family and the head of the clan really have no obligations at all? Can they really enjoy the dedication and sacrifices from other members of their clan with a clear conscience?
No, it cannot.
At the very least, the fact that his younger brother Hizashi died in his place is a pain that the current head of the Hyuga clan can never erase from his heart.
Although he always kept a straight face and showed enough distance in order to maintain the dignity of the main family and the prestige of the clan leader.
However, whenever he saw Hyuga Neji's resentful expression towards fate and the 'caged bird', his heart would ache uncontrollably.
This time, when the members of the branch family knelt before him, wanting their clan leader to make the decision, Hiashi Hyuga knew clearly that he could not do nothing.
Otherwise, the clansmen will be disheartened.
This could potentially sow the seeds of irreversible danger for the entire Hyuga clan.
Neji Hyuga is the best proof of the clan's genius.
but,
Hiashi Hyuga scanned the approaching clansmen with a complex expression, but they were not among the petitioning group.
Perhaps they had already fallen asleep.
Perhaps they had already given up hope for the main family.
"I have not forgotten the grudge against the Hyuga clan."
The somber declaration stood out amidst the rising and falling petitions.
In an instant, the entire scene fell silent, and all those eager, pure white eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man wearing a brown haori in their field of vision.
Don't they envy the crazy scene of the Uchiha clan leader standing up for his clansmen?
Of course I'm envious.
"I dare not forget!"
Hiashi Hyuga added in a deep voice, his grief and indignation palpable to everyone.
"Kumakuya will definitely pay the price!!"
His gaze refocused as he glared angrily at the Cloud Village ninja who had suddenly stood up, his eyes brimming with hatred that seemed to want to devour these bastards.
Nozomi was indeed a sacrifice that could barely bring Hizashi to rest in peace!
"you!"
Upon hearing this chilling response, Atsi instantly erupted in fury, his face contorting with rage.
Lord Hijiri is not only an all-around genius of Kumogakure, but also the personal guard of the Raikage, and enjoys a high reputation in the village.
Now, however, the other party casually said that they would send the body back. How could they not be furious?
However, a subtle sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
'This must be the Hyuga clan, right?'
'Aren't they often compared to the Uchiha? Why are they speaking up for them now?'
'Furthermore, the other party's attitude is completely different from what it was several years ago. Is there something wrong with that?'
This situation and these feelings left him somewhat at a loss.
Although the Hidden Cloud Village is not afraid of starting a war.
But it's like something that could have been done easily suddenly becomes complicated and even requires a certain price to achieve.
The good news is that there are still reasonable and considerate people among the higher-ups in Konoha.
"Chief Rizu, watch your words and consider the bigger picture."
"Think more about the consequences."
Xiaochun, turning over in her new room, tried to sound alert by speaking in a low voice.
What happened today?
It's not just Yamanaka Inoichi anymore; even Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi are speaking up for that troublemaker. Are they all blind to the situation and the consequences?
"In that case, I look forward to getting some fresh Byakugan on the battlefield!"
Atsi's language was offensive.
It was this accomplice from Konoha that gave them the greatest confidence.
Meanwhile, the Third Hokage remained remarkably calm, not uttering a single word.
Even when the delegation from Kumogakure angrily walked out, this was still the case.
He seemed to be waiting.
Waiting.........
"Well, it's rare for Advisor Xiaochun to be sober. The clan leaders really don't need to ignore the overall situation for my sake."
"The Uchiha clan has not fallen to the point of needing to shift the crisis, and naturally they will not be like some forces that dare not admit what they have done."
"nausea."
Huang hates this.
When you're pushed to the bottom and driven to the brink, a pair of hands suddenly appear beside you, hands eager to pull you out of the mire.
He preferred to bear everything himself rather than burden others.
But it must be said that...
This kind of care is very appreciated.
"You are Uchiha Araka!"
As the boy pushed open the door and entered, Atsui's gaze suddenly turned cold.
The sound wasn't a question, but rather an emphasis.
"If you truly know your place, then obediently come back with us and apologize."
"Otherwise, all living beings in the Land of Fire will suffer a bloodbath because of your will!"
He didn't respond at all to the former's teasing.
Huang ignored such a clown.
On the battlefield, he could slaughter them with ease.
Outside of Konoha, he could also make them feel the despair of death.
However, standing here, he represented the Uchiha clan and, in a sense, symbolized the image of Konoha. Therefore, Ara ignored him and simply gazed silently at the white-haired old man sitting in the main seat.
The real decision rests with the other party.
As for his own thoughts.
Did they directly lead their followers in a defection?
Feigning compliance before launching a bloody counterattack?
Who knows.
When rejecting Shimura Danzo's request to join Root, Ara flipped through the task list, trying to find a direction to move forward.
But it failed.
There are no indications on the panel regarding the current situation.
But this situation actually brought peace of mind; since there were no hints, it was best to let things take their course.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi makes his decision, he will then make his own choice.
"As expected of the Uchiha clan."
"He has the aura of the legendary Madara Uchiha."
A humorous voice reached my ears, but the speaker did not seem to be seated at the conference table.
That familiar voice...
