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

Are you kidding me? What makes him think he can be on the same level as Lord Danzo?

However, it is obvious that even if the logic is sound, the words spoken by the clan chief, Nichijou, as a Konoha ninja, were somewhat harsh. After all, in some people's eyes, what belongs to you is equivalent to the village, and what belongs to the village is equivalent to theirs; they are the ones who have the right to speak.

You know, that's a two-tailed beast!

Having just experienced the Nine-Tails' rampage, no one will underestimate the power of the tailed beasts, not even the Two-Tails!

Furthermore, the fact that the head of your Hyuga clan claims that it was his spoils of war is bound to raise eyebrows.

The ninjas in the conference room looked at Hyuga Hisei with flickering eyes, speculating about what he intended to do with the Two-Tails.

Danzo even wanted to reprimand Hyuga Hisei on the spot, wanting him to confiscate the tailed beasts.

But after thinking about his own position, he obediently shut up.

As a sinner, he obviously had no right to speak in this meeting room, and Danzo was clearly not entirely naive in this regard.

He just has a brain.

Someone in this meeting room has already proven that they have no brains!

Konoha has never lacked brilliant minds.

The two advisors, who had been shirking responsibility, seemed to have flipped a switch, immediately switching to "for the village" faces and turning their gazes directly at Chief Richeng.

Ahhh, please vote for me with monthly tickets, everyone!! Please recommend me!! Please add this to your favorites!!

Chapter 63 Harmony.

"Chief Richeng is mistaken."

Koharu, the first to speak, raised her proud head and looked at Hinata Himo with a serious expression.

"The existence of Jinchuriki is of great importance, and the Hyuga clan has always been an inseparable part of Konoha, so the village should naturally bear the relevant responsibilities."

This wasn't just a hint; it was an explicit statement.

It even contained a hidden threat: if the Hyuga clan still considers themselves part of Konoha, then they should obediently make a statement and voluntarily hand over the Two-Tails.

That's roughly the idea. And frankly, if it were any other time, her words would carry a moral pressure, making it reasonable for the Hyuga clan to hand over the Two-Tails.

But this was clearly not an ordinary time, so when she saw that Hinata Hinomaru was unmoved, she frowned and decided to give him another nudge.

According to her thinking, Hinata Hiroki had just cooperated with her in finding someone to share the blame, so now he should also step forward himself.

Well, she just didn't understand Chief Richeng's sarcastic remarks.

"Everyone witnessed the disaster caused by the Nine-Tails' previous rampage, so the Jinchuriki must be kept in close watch."

boom!

pity.

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

A loud bang interrupted her words and also stopped Sarutobi from slamming his fist on the table. The clan chief, Nichisei, who was about to stand up and throw the old advisor off the building to calm down, sat down in confusion.

Without him.

It was Fugaku who made the move, slamming his hand on the table first.

The next moment, everyone looked at Uchiha Fugaku in shock.

"Stop talking nonsense, you old dog!"

For some reason, it seems that Fugaku's radical bloodline has been activated, and he calls Utatane Koharu by her nickname.

He frowned and chose to unleash a torrent of curses.

"With the village's incompetence in guarding Jinchuriki, you dare to suggest to my brother that we hand over the Two-Tails? Where do you get the audacity?"

That's a very firm statement!

But it sounds perfectly fine.

After all, the Nine-Tails' rampage occurred under the close supervision of Sarutobi and a group of high-ranking officials, which makes people somewhat doubt the village chief and his team's competence.

In this situation, it is indeed not suitable to have a two-tailed beast while also taking care of the nine-tailed beast.

It's always been the Nichijo brothers who give him advice, but this time it's Fugaku Uchiha's turn to show off!

This sudden sense of superiority captivated Fugaku.

The reason for his sudden assertiveness was quite simple.

Don't be fooled by Fugaku's fluctuating intelligence and slow thinking.

Being slow doesn't mean you can't think straight.

After interrupting to discuss the issue of assigning blame, he suddenly thought of something.

war!

The Hidden Cloud Village is here to cause trouble together with the Hidden Stone Village this time!

Moreover, the front lines are in grave danger!

It seems that the only ones who can save the day are the Uchiha clan and their good brother, the Hyuga clan!

In an instant, as if his intelligence had taken over the high ground, Fugaku suddenly stood up.

Grass.

Now the village should be begging and coaxing them to take action, and they must be treated with respect!

Given this premise, it's perfectly fine to show off during a meeting in a perfectly legitimate way!

Thinking about the suppression he had suffered at the hands of higher-ups over the years, and the grievances he had endured on behalf of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku was completely awakened at that moment.

This is a golden opportunity; if we don't seize it now, when will we ever get another chance to show off?

Moreover, if they win this battle, the Uchiha clan will be a major contributor and will be able to show off as they please. If they lose, Konoha will be gone. Wouldn't it be a waste of an opportunity if they didn't show off?

So seeing the Richeng brothers awkwardly shifting their positions in the awkward situation, how could he, as their elder brother, remain indifferent?

In life, there are some things you just have to pretend to be!

As expected of the head of the Uchiha clan, the overlord of the Warring States period, Fugaku's act of showing off was quite polished.

But he showed off, and he felt good.

The Naruto advisor, who was being criticized, experienced a spike in blood pressure on the spot.

For so many years, ever since the Second Hokage died, apart from the elders of the Senju clan who dared to point fingers at them, no one has dared to speak to them like that for so many years.

Even the most respected elders of the Senju clan are all dead. What are you, Fugaku Uchiha? How dare you speak to us like that?

No sooner said than done, after Fugaku finished ranting, he mimicked the middle finger gesture that Nichijo had taught him, and the two Hokage advisors completely exploded!

"Be bold!"

"Fork out!"

"enough!!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Accompanied by several angry shouts.

The noisy conference room returned to calm.

Without a doubt, the first two shouts came from the old advisor, while the last roar and the two large slaps were delivered by the old village chief, who could no longer tolerate it.

The Third Hokage's intelligence was clearly superior to that of the two advisors and Danzo. What Fugaku could understand, the Third Hokage could certainly understand as well.

The old village chief knew perfectly well that even if you killed Danzo at this critical juncture, you couldn't anger the village's only remaining fighting force, which was the Uchiha and Hyuga clans!

Moreover, the Third Hokage saw it clearly. Just now, Hyuga Hiroki realized that it wasn't as simple as just moving his butt. This person's methods are much more ruthless than Uchiha Fugaku's!

He couldn't guarantee what the two clans would do if Hyuga Hisei and Uchiha Fugaku went mad.

As for why the two old advisors weren't stopped in the first place?

It was also caused by greed.

After all, it's the Two-Tails. It wouldn't be a bad idea to probe Hinata Hiromasa's thoughts through the words of the two advisors.

However, since the other party was being too forceful, the topic had to be dropped.

There will be plenty of opportunities to acquire tailed beasts.

What's needed now is to stabilize the situation in Konoha and stop the combined attack from Kumogakure and Iwagakure!

Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Hyuga Hisei, who can single-handedly defeat the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, cannot be coerced with just a few words.

With such combat power, they also have the entire Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan supporting them.

We must be careful if we want to deal with him!

Even if he didn't want to admit it, the old village chief knew it.

For now, even if Hinata Hiromasa shits on his head, he'll still have to taste it twice and smack his lips, saying it smells good!

A loud shout, followed by two slaps.

This was his attitude as the Third Hokage, meaning that the matter was over and he needed to get back on track as soon as possible and find a way to prevent the Uchiha and Hyuga clans from backing down.

Ignoring the shocked and terrified looks of the two old advisors, Sarutobi took a deep breath, kicked the good-for-nothing aside, and then resumed his previous demeanor, looking at Hyuga Hisei and Uchiha Fugaku.

"Let's continue. As you all know about the situation at the front, and as for the specific process of the alliance with Iwagakure, you can ask Danzo directly. I had him woken up not to shirk responsibility, but because only he knows why the Tsuchikage betrayed us."

With a slightly grim expression, Sarutobi glanced coldly at the two advisors before turning away.

"The previous war arrangements have already deployed the vast majority of Konoha's main forces to the battlefield."

"Now, the only ones capable of going to support and resist Kumogakure and Iwagakure are the Uchiha and Hyuga clans."

This is the truth.

Originally, Konoha had already dispatched the main forces of the other clans besides Hyuga and Uchiha to fight against Kumogakure, and now they simply don't have enough manpower left.

The intention behind this statement was most likely to provoke Fugaku and the clan chief Nichisei to speak up.

However, Fugaku remained unmoved, and Hyuga Hiroshi leaned back tactically.
