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

Chapter 4 The Clan Chief's Golden Finger.

The Hyuga clan's cataract symptoms have worsened again.

There have even been cases of human-to-human transmission!

Among them, their clan leader, Hinata Himeko, behaved the most outrageously.

Has this child become that blind?

When Hijiri pointed to the newly planned area in Konoha, that vacant lot in the suburbs, this thought came to everyone's mind.

If even the clan leader is like this, one can only imagine how their clansmen are treated.

Many people looked at Himo with pity, as if they could already see the future of the Hyuga clan.

The old village chief, Hiruzen Sarutobi, frowned deeply, pondering the deeper meaning behind Hinata Hijima's move.

Even though he was a seasoned politician, he couldn't figure out why he was willing to bring his clan and choose to stay with the Uchiha clan.

Are these two races planning to unite completely?

Feeling acutely aware of his own intellectual shortcomings, Sarutobi picked up his pipe, lit it, and took a puff, his gaze shifting back and forth between Hyuga Hiroki and Uchiha Fugaku.

I had heard that during the previous war, Fugaku Uchiha attempted to befriend the Hyuga clan in order to gain battlefield support, even at the cost of sacrificing his own wife.

But wasn't this all something his old buddy made up specifically to annoy Fugaku Uchiha?

Could it be these two races?

It shouldn't be.

Not to mention that both groups rely on their eyes for a living, they are competitors no matter how you look at it.

If we just talk about helping the Uchiha clan fight against the village and the higher-ups, what benefits would that bring to the Hyuga clan?

Or is it that Hinata Himo simply has his eye on that piece of land?

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dwell on it.

After all, once the Uchiha clan relocates, the Anbu will continue to monitor them in shifts, and a thorough investigation can be conducted later.

Not only did he not understand Hinata Hiroki's thought process, but the two village chief advisors, plus Danzo, also frowned, looking at Hinata Hiroki who had returned to his seat, not knowing what to say.

The leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Aburame-Inuzuka, and other clan leaders whispered among themselves, all thinking that Hinata Hijiro was planning to lead his clansmen in a madness.

Fugaku Uchiha was filled with guilt, feeling that he had let down his good brother.

It was obvious that Hyuga, the only one to speak up for the Uchiha at the meeting, was also "forced" to relocate and become neighbors with the Uchiha.

Then it's even less likely that anyone will speak up for the Uchiha.

The blame for allegedly controlling the Nine-Tails to retaliate against the village has indeed fallen squarely on the shoulders of the Uchiha clan.

With no hope of success, Fugaku Uchiha sighed deeply, his mind filled with images of his clansmen raising their flags in rebellion after he returned home.

What the hell do we do now?

When they came, the clansmen all hoped that they could be elected Hokage. Now look what happened, not only have they lost their Hokage status, but they haven't even managed to keep their clan's territory. Those village leaders are truly despicable!

The pots are now separated.

The meeting proceeded as scheduled.

For most people, whether the Uchiha clan is taking the blame or the Hyuga clan is going crazy, it has little to do with them.

The real purpose of this meeting was to determine the position of village chief.

It concerns the future status of one's ethnic group in the village, as well as the arrangements for subsequent work and benefits; this is of paramount importance.

During the meeting, everyone shared their opinions.

As astute as Nara Shikaku was, he first tentatively recommended Tsunade, the Third Hokage's disciple, but after receiving a negative response from the advisory group, he understood and looked at the Third Hokage.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, recommending Tsunade is extremely appropriate.

Tsunade, from the Land of Fire, is a disciple of the Third Hokage and the granddaughter of the First Hokage. These accolades are more than enough for her to assume the position of Hokage.

However, according to rumors, ever since the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade has referred to the Third Hokage as a "stinky old man" and has shown him no respect whatsoever. Later, she even left Konoha altogether.

This is actually quite intriguing, but some questions are destined not to be pondered too deeply. In short, the current situation is that Tsunade and Sarutobi are at odds, and it seems that as long as this old village chief is alive, Tsunade doesn't want to go back to the village.

The advisory group further stopped the conversation, citing the difficulty in locating Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Then

Nara Shikaku's heart stirred slightly, as if he understood the old village chief's thoughts.

After careful consideration and analysis of the distribution of interests among the three clans (Pig, Deer, and Butterfly) after the third generation of the Hand-to-Hand clan regained power, he nodded subtly, agreeing that supporting the old leader was not a bad idea.

In fact, the situation was much as Nara Shikaku and most others had expected.

When the advisory board proposed candidates for the next round.

Danzo, eager to try, stood up, his face showing a hint of excitement as he attempted to recommend himself.

But the old village chief, with a smile on his face, had already spoken.

Just like when Tobirama Senju asked them who would cover the rear, and Danzo hesitated while Sarutobi answered first.

"The younger generation in the village has not yet grown up. Although I am old, I am willing to shelter the seedlings from the wind and rain before they grow up."

You son of a bitch.

Danzo's face darkened, and he glared angrily at Sarutobi.

Undoubtedly, he was reminded of the days when he was dominated by the phrase, "Shut up, Danzo! I am the Hokage!"

Looking back, it was utterly humiliating!

Damn it, when I tell Sarutobi I regret it, I have to shout it out louder!

The old village chief stepped forward, and his former subordinates naturally gave him face.

After the Ino-Shika-Cho trio took the lead in pledging their loyalty, the other groups also expressed their approval of the third generation's return to power, and the ultimate winner of this meeting was already determined.

Following that, the three generations also had a veiled discussion about the village's future reconstruction and the exchange of benefits.

After the meeting, everyone except the Uchiha clan received a satisfactory answer.

"I'm sorry, Richeng brother."

Meeting adjourned, time to head home.

With a guilty expression, Fugaku Uchiha approached Hisei Hyuga, saying, "I never expected to implicate the Hyuga clan."

"It's not a big problem. From now on, our two clans will be neighbors. When you get back, Brother Fugaku, please tell the Uchiha brothers not to go crazy in front of the Hyuga clan, otherwise it will be embarrassing for everyone."

Richeng smiled slightly and didn't forget to give a word of advice.

"Absolutely! The Uchiha will never forget the kindness the Hyuga showed them. How could they possibly hold a grudge against the Hyuga brothers?"

Recalling the time when the Uchiha were isolated and helpless on the battlefield, with only the Hyuga arriving on time to provide support, Fugaku's anger towards the higher-ups was further fueled.

Furthermore, although the clansmen were a bit radical, they were not ungrateful. From then on, they became much more polite to the Hyuga clan and rarely acted crazy.

Moreover, after our brother Hyuga Hiroki took over, his methods were extremely astonishing, raising the Hyuga clan's combat power by more than one level.

In previous conflicts, it was always the Uchiha clan members who suffered losses, almost a one-sided defeat. Over time, the Uchiha's envious members have also become wary of cataracts.

After a brief chat, Hyuga Hisei declined Fugaku's invitation to visit his sister-in-law in the Uchiha clan and quickly returned to his clan's territory.

It's not that my sister-in-law isn't charming, nor that Brother Cheng has changed his ways.

But

In the main hall of the clan chief's residence, with his attendants dismissed, Hikari sat upright, exuding a mysterious aura.

In fact, after pointing to the empty space on the planning map, he entered a strange state of enlightenment.

Without a doubt, this was due to his cheat code.

This means that his decision to stay away from the political center of Konoha and choose an area that is easy to escape from was extremely correct, hence the golden finger gave him feedback.

This state is described by Hinata Hiroshi as a manifestation of high intelligence, indicating extremely clear thinking.

This is often the best time to study and improve ninjutsu and taijutsu such as Gentle Fist.

"Hmm, what stage of the Crushing Fist technique are you at? Have you tested its power after adding attribute changes last time?"

"There's also a combined attack formation that combines strength and flexibility."

"Forget it, let's continue to perfect the Hyuga-ryu Sage Transformation!"

After a moment's thought, Chief Richeng grabbed a bottle of his homemade high-proof liquor and downed it in one gulp. He then grimaced, closed his eyes, and entered a drunken stupor.

He usually chooses to have a drink at times like this. On the one hand, he's happy, and on the other hand, the alternation between sobriety and confusion creates an incredibly exhilarating feeling.

Chapter 5 The Only Clan Chief.

Konoha.

Sunset West Mountain.

The Hyuga clan's territory, outside the clan head's courtyard.

"Brother, what do you think Cheng-ge is really thinking?"

Hyuga Hizashi held his big-headed son in one arm and looked at Hyuga Hiashi, who was frowning and thinking beside him.

"The clan leader should have his own considerations."

Hiashi glanced at Hyuga Neji in his younger brother's arms, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

However, the thought of his wife's big belly made his envy disappear.

He'll be having a son soon!

"Indeed, Brother Cheng has always had his own profound meaning in every step he takes, and he has never let us down."

Hyuga Hizashi deeply agreed with this point, and even the elders of the main family greatly admired the clan leader after Hyuga Hisei took over.

However, while I admire them, it's really annoying that those old fogies always put on an air of lecturing people for the sake of their clan.

I recently heard that an elder had some reservations about Chief Richeng's flirtatious relationship with a woman from outside the clan.
