As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

For the time being, we can't see any results from the Uchiha side.

But the Hyuga clan?

Kakashi chuckled.

If Chief Richeng agrees, then he wouldn't be himself.

At this moment, the man was slowly scanning the entire room, observing everyone's expressions and attitudes. His expression changed from initial relief to disappointment, and finally to calm.

It seems that Chief Richeng has already made up his mind.

Kakashi couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

As expected of Lord Nichisei, he truly lives up to his name and is a man of integrity.

Even though they knew in their hearts that this was a hopeless village, they still tried to convince themselves and patiently searched for any possibility of turning the tide.

But the outcome was actually predetermined.

Kakashi was sensing everything around him with his heart, and the noisy arguing noise entered his ears.

"It's just a few pairs of eyes, there shouldn't be anything we can't agree to, right?"

"How could we possibly agree to that! This isn't just an insult, it's a trampling on the beliefs of Konoha!"

"Belief? The Will of Fire? I remember the content: Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die; the firelight will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout. That makes sense, doesn't it? Now it's time for the Uchiha and Hyuga to sacrifice themselves, and all they're doing is asking them to give up a pair of eyes. What's the big deal?"

"Dude, you understand the Will of Fire, but it sounds reasonable to me. It's just a few pairs of eyes, which is better than the war reigniting!"

"I really hope that Chief Nichijo and Chief Fugaku will agree soon. The atmosphere is too oppressive right now, and I'm so scared."

"Just a quick question, why would they burn their own people to illuminate the lives of us useless outsiders? They didn't join Konoha for this reason, did they?"

"Shut up! The village is the most important thing!"

"Yes, it's only right to agree for the sake of the village."

"."

In the end, those who spoke out for the Hyuga and Uchiha were ultimately drowned out by the larger business opportunities.

Just like Danzo mentioned before, his own father had faced the same situation.

"If the village suffers losses, even if you save people, you are still a sinner!"

"I never asked Lord White Fang to save me; he came back on his own!"

"The White Fang has changed, no, it's Sakumo Hatake who has changed. He doesn't deserve to be Konoha's White Fang!"

"."

Like.

It's so similar.

Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with mockery.

"The Uchiha are willing to give up two pairs of eyes for the sake of the village."

Finally, after a heated discussion between Fugaku and the clan elders, they arrived at an answer that satisfied everyone.

But in reality, the radical Uchiha did not want to suffer this injustice, and using the eyes of their clansmen as compensation was simply rubbing their dignity into the ground. It would have been more satisfying to send them to the battlefield to kill.

As for why they knew this but still...

"With the Senju clan no longer in Konoha, the only ones who can protect Konoha are the Uchiha. The First Hokage once killed his own friend for the sake of the village and even declared that he would kill his own family and children if they were to harm the village. We Uchiha are also the founders of Konoha, so we can naturally offer our two pairs of eyes."

After Fugaku finished speaking, he kept giving hints to Nichisei.

This was all planned!

Following the advice of the neutral faction, Fugaku Uchiha changed his strategy.

An open conflict would likely lower the villagers' opinion of the Uchiha clan, so let's do the opposite and focus on winning their hearts and minds!

For Fugaku, this was actually an opportunity.

The Third Hokage is about to step down. If he can gain enough supporters at this time, he might just be able to become Hokage!

According to the advice of the fence-sitter, in order to satisfy the radicals' desire for revenge, once he becomes Hokage, he should directly declare war on Iwagakure and Kumogakure again and take back the eyes!

When he becomes Hokage, he'll be in charge. And since the Nichijou brothers also love fighting, wouldn't they be invincible?

As for whether the Richeng brothers support him?

Stop joking, buddy! He's already given away two wives; his connections must be pretty strong!

Moreover, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Nichijou brothers publicly stated that they would support him in taking over!

Once the Uchiha's atrophied cerebellum began to function, they naturally felt that this plan was quite good. Once Fugaku became Hokage, they would trample those who had looked down on the Uchiha underfoot. At most, they would become Hyuga Hyuga's vice Hokage. They could just treat him as a king alongside the ninja world. As for how the village would develop, they would discuss it and that would be fine!

It may seem rough, but isn't this the right path?

Fugaku smiled slightly, then exchanged a brief glance with the Nichisei brothers.

To Fugaku's astonishment, his brother Nichisei simply shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Yes.

Perhaps Fugaku made the right choice.

The sharp-eared and perceptive Hyuga Hisei had already overheard the plan. The arrogant Uchiha clan loved to plot loudly, but there was nothing anyone could do about it.

But they chose to stay here; Hinata couldn't!

"Why should I, as the clan leader, waste my time and energy dealing with a mess? And then go to the trouble of sheltering a bunch of good-for-nothings? To create a comfortable environment for a group of unworthy people? Just so they will remain unrepentant and ungrateful in the future?"

"A bunch of parasites who don't deserve to live, it's really unnecessary."

Chief Richeng stepped forward, his eyes blazing with a brilliant blue light, instantly becoming an unfamiliar figure to everyone.

The approachable and unpretentious Chief Richeng has disappeared.

right now,

He is the future ruler of the divine kingdom!

"Hyuga, we reject any means of seeking peace that sacrifices our clansmen, tramples on their dignity, or sells their corpses."

A chilling voice swept through the entire venue, but before people could be shocked...

Chief Nichisei suddenly turned his head and looked at Onoki and Yozuki Ai, who were about to speak angrily.

"If you want war, I, the clan leader, am ready to fight at any time. But right now, I need to deal with some family matters left by our ancestors and make some decisions that go against their wishes. You are allowed to watch, but please keep quiet!"

boom!

The two bodies instantly fell to the ground.

A glare of intimidation!

break out!

I originally planned to release it over two days, but I thought better of it and decided to release all the drafts at once. I won't have any more drafts left, but I'll still post 10,000 words a day for a month. Please give me some votes.

P.S., Chapter 96 is out, you can read it now.

Chapter 101 The Golden Wheel and the Eye of the Moon, the scratches on the headband.

Konoha Central Plaza.

As Hinata Hiroki unleashed his Byakugan's oppressive power, the Raikage and Tsuchikage were forced to crash uncontrollably into the ground.

At this moment, Onoki finally understood why the Raikage was so suppressed when he first arrived in Konoha and tested Hyuga Hiroshi, and why his bones were broken because he didn't want to kneel down.

This pressure

At the risk of breaking his spine, Onoki mustered all his strength to lift his head and gaze at the man named Hinata Himo.

This pressure, this feeling of despair in the face of the strong.

He looks just like Madara Uchiha back then!

I was the same way back then. Faced with a strong opponent, I couldn't even muster the thought of resisting. I knelt on the ground like an ant being judged, only able to look at Uchiha Madara's eyes, which regarded me like trash, with utter timidity.

Do not!

In my entire life, kneeling once is enough!

I will never bow my head a second time!

Like the Will of Rock that Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village) believes in, the tenacious Onoki let out bursts of roars, his chakra slowly erupting, and his rebellious belief drove him to try to get up from the ground.

"Ahhh!"

The immense pressure made his eyes bloodshot, and even though the pain distorted his expression, he still refused to give in. His tenacity greatly impressed the Raikage beside him.

Having experienced it firsthand, he developed a deep respect for Onoki.

No wonder he's the Tsuchikage who could command tens of thousands of ninjas to surround my father and wear him down to death!

The Raikage, who was lying on the ground and had no intention of resisting, was filled with awe.

Of course, those who can become Kage are the best in their respective villages. Onoki has the so-called stubborn will, and Kumogakure has the same faith of shattering darkness with thunder.

As the Raikage, he naturally had his own pride.

But he had already resisted at the village entrance, and had fully used his pride to gauge the strength of that terrifying man.

then

Then his pride was broken, both of his shinbones suffered comminuted fractures, and his kneecaps were sunken, so he can only get around in a wheelchair now!

Medical ninjas are amazing; they can reattach severed arms and legs. However, bone regeneration remains difficult, otherwise he wouldn't have placed his hopes on Danzo.

But it was precisely because he had rebelled that he admired Onoki even more. He had also rebelled, but he had failed spectacularly.

The Raikage is proud, but he is also very smart. Before, at the village entrance, he thought that with the Daimyo and Hokage present, even if Hyuga Himaru went crazy, he would still be wary. But now that man is showing everyone with his actions that he doesn't care whether the peace talks are successful or not, nor does he care whether his actions will displease the Daimyo and Hokage. He does what he wants to do, entirely according to his own heart.

He's a madman!

Even the most ruthless are afraid of those who have no regard for their lives. In Raikage's mind, that man can only be described in four words right now.

Totally crazy!

Although the Raikage was irritable, he was still afraid of death, so he did not resist. He preferred to entrust his belief in resistance to the Tsuchikage, who had a stubborn temper and will!
