Therefore, the Hyuga clan was left with only two possible outcomes.

One method was to forcibly persuade the Taketori clan to betray Kirigakure.

Another one is that he broke with the Taketori clan.

"Is there any difficulty?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

The old man from Hyuga glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose expression was relatively gentle, and then at Danzo Shimura, whose eyes were extremely gloomy. In the end, he said nothing.

The old man bowed his head.

"Lord Hokage, there are no difficulties. I will do my best to arrange it."

"Not just effort, but certainty!"

Danzo's voice rang out.

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

The old man from Hyuga left and returned to the Hyuga clan's residence.

Only two people remained in the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Danzo, you shouldn't have pressured the Hyuga clan like that. Losing the Byakugan is not something they wanted to see either. They must feel very guilty and remorseful."

Danzo showed a surprised expression, but quickly concealed it.

Chapter 49 Hiruzen Sarutobi: I Am the Hokage

"Hiruzen, there's nothing we can do about it. The situation on the battlefield isn't looking good for us."

"The variables that a single eye roll can bring are too great."

“We have to do this.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"The village's current situation is indeed not good."

"Over the years, Kumogakure has quietly accumulated tremendous strength. In terms of mid-level ninjas, they have surpassed Konoha by quite a bit. But fortunately, they are also fighting Iwagakure."

"Among the young ninjas, the son of the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are quite good."

"However, the water gate is superior."

"The number of core ninjas in Iwagakure is even greater than that in Kumogakure, but among the young ninjas, there doesn't seem to be any particularly outstanding ones; there are just more of them."

"In addition, Sunagakure can help us withstand some of the pressure from Iwagakure."

"I've heard that the one named Scorpion is pretty good."

Danzo didn't seem to think much of Sasori, he said.

"Sasori's parents both died at the hands of White Fang. Sasori is only a few years older than Kakashi. Once Kakashi grows up, he will most likely surpass him."

When Kakashi is mentioned, Hiruzen Sarutobi can't help but think of the time when Kakashi was defeated by Kisame Hoshigaki.

"In Kirigakure, neither the young nor the mid-level ninjas are up to par. They've been reduced to relying on the younger generation's battles to boost morale. But Kirigakure's only real opponent is Konoha."

"Therefore, this has become a more pressing problem for Konoha right now."

Danzo asked.

"Hiruzen, have the Anbu ninjas found out anything about that new ninja sword?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"not yet."

Danzo put forward his own idea.

"Hiruzen, perhaps we can use this opportunity to have the Hyuga clan ask the Kaguya clan for information about that new ninja sword. As members of Kirigakure, the Kaguya clan will definitely know."

"This"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated.

The fact that someone rolled their eyes at you is somewhat understandable.

After all, the Byakugan cannot be allowed to roam freely outside the village. This is not only the opinion of Konoha, but also of the Hyuga clan.

However, it would be unreasonable to try to obtain information about the new ninja sword from the Hyuga clan through the Kaguya clan.

Putting too much pressure on the Hyuga clan could very well backfire.

Even though the Hyuga clan is currently behaving quite obediently, much more so than the Uchiha clan next door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to tarnish his reputation.

"never mind."

"Forget it? But..."

Danzo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Danzo, I have made up my mind about this matter."

"but"

"That's enough, I am the Hokage!"

Danzo: ""

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo and continued.

"This requirement is too demanding for the Hyuga clan. Let's investigate through other channels. I heard that the Lightning Blade has reappeared on the battlefield?"

"That's right, the one who uses the Thunder Blade is a man named Taketori Hikaru."

"How does it compare to Kurosuki Raiga?"

"His control over the Thunder Blade is not as good as Kurosuki Raiga's, but he is more ferocious and crazy than Kurosuki Raiga. Most of the members of the Kaguya clan have this kind of personality."

"Let's try to get information about the new ninja sword from this Taketori Hikaru first."

"it is good."

Danzo descended from the Hokage Building.

Only when I reached the end of the road did I look back.

"Hiruzen, you're too indecisive!"

Danzo believed that his ideas were perfectly valid.

First, put pressure on the Hyuga clan to demand information about the Byakugan from the Kaguya clan. At this point, there will be two possible outcomes.

One is that the Bamboo Clan provided information about the Byakugan.

Another point is that the Kaguya clan and the Hyuga clan have broken ties.

Both of these outcomes are acceptable to Konoha.

In the former case, Konoha might be able to retrieve the Byakugan, or destroy it.

The latter severed the connection between the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan, in other words, it cut off a possible escape route for the Hyuga clan, making them even more loyal to Konoha.

In the former case, pressuring the Hyuga clan again to demand information about the new ninja sword from the Taketori clan would also have two possible outcomes.

One reason is that the bamboo-harvesting clan refused.

In this situation, the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan will still break apart.

At the same time, Konoha can also announce the information about the Byakugan given to Konoha by the Taketori clan.

To sow discord between Kirigakure and the Taketori clan.

Another point is that the bamboo-cutting clan agreed.

This is the best intelligence for Konoha.

The entire plan, regardless of the outcome, is good for Konoha.

However, there is a possibility of a backlash from the Hyuga clan.

But would he dare to join the Hyuga clan?

Danzo felt that this was impossible.

By binding the branch family with the Caged Bird Seal, Danzo believed that the entire Hyuga clan was deeply ingrained with servility and would never dare to defy the village.

"You will regret this!"

Upon returning to the Hyuga headquarters, Hyuga Kazuo immediately convened a clan meeting.

He repeated the words of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura one by one.

Immediately, members of the Hyuga clan expressed their dissatisfaction.

"What do Danzo and the Hokage mean?"

"Could it be that our Hyuga clan deliberately lost the Byakugan?"

"He went too far by saying that!"

"What do you take us, the Hyuga clan, for?"

However, on that day, he raised a question to Kazuo.

Do you have any good ideas?

Everyone was silent.

Hyuga Kazuo sighed inwardly.
