"Yes! We, the Hyuga clan, are members of Konoha. How can we abandon Konoha?"
Before they could continue speaking, someone shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
The speaker was Ida, a close confidant of the clan leader Hiashi. He shouted, "Our Hyuga clan is the strongest. We must not be bound to Konoha."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with Ida's words. After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, and the Senju clan declined, the Hyuga clan had effectively become the number one clan in Konoha.
After Ida spoke, the others also chimed in:
"Clan leader, have you forgotten when Konoha handed over your brother?"
"Konoha is not worthy of our loyalty. At this moment, we must consider the future of our clan!!"
"Quiet!" Hiashi waved his hand, interrupting everyone.
The crowd fell silent, and countless white eyes turned to the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, all waiting for him to speak.
"My mind is made up."
Hiashi said with a grim expression, "The world created by the Sage of Six Paths is a failure! Earth will be destroyed with the arrival of the meteorite! How can my Hyuga clan perish along with Konoha, this great tree!"
Next, in front of everyone, Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, recounted the unfair treatment Konoha had given them, as the largest clan in Konoha.
"I've had enough!"
Hiashi roared, "Konoha is unworthy of the loyalty of the Hyuga clan! The Hyuga clan must not perish! We will live on as survivors!"
"As long as we can migrate to the moon, we will preserve the flame of my Hyuga clan! My Hyuga clan is the strongest! Our glory will be brought back to the moon," Hiashi emphasized to the crowd.
"Ahhh!!"
"Give the order, Chieftain!"
"When shall we depart, Chieftain?"
The members of the Hyuga clan present all shouted in support.
Hiashi waved his arms and shouted, "The day of departure is getting closer and closer."
"We are leaving Konoha and moving to the moon to live with our fellow countrymen."
"I hereby declare that the Hyuga clan will sever ties with Konoha and this world! My Hyuga clan will not face destruction, but will start anew on the moon! There, we will embrace true peace." Hiashi activated his Byakugan, his white pupils gazing upon everyone present.
Amidst the tremendous cheers of the clan members, Hyuga Hiashi, as the clan leader, had made up his mind.
Chapter 93 The Traitor Leaks Secrets
"You said the Hyuga clan is plotting a defection, is that true?"
That evening, in the main hall of the Root base deep underground, Danzo stood listening to a report from the Hyuga Genji. This Hyuga Genji was a spy that Danzo had personally planted within the Hyuga clan.
As someone who wanted to become Hokage, Danzo naturally needed to keep track of the movements of various clans, so he planted many Root members in the various clans of Konoha.
After all, there are many people like Itachi Uchiha in Konoha who transcend the boundaries of their clan and do their best for the village.
Danzo will use these people to achieve his goals—no, not for himself. It's all for Konoha.
"It's true, Lord Danzo. I saw it with my own eyes."
"At the meeting held at the shrine tonight, clan head Hiashi Hyuga has made a decision. The Hyuga clan has the idea of leaving Konoha. They want to leave Konoha and go to the moon before the meteorite hits, in order to preserve the entire Hyuga clan."
Genji Hyuga knelt on one knee, his face expressionless, and spoke. Unlike the other members of the Hyuga clan, he had long since abandoned the boundaries between his clan and village, and stood on the side of Konoha.
They didn't distinguish so clearly between villages and clans; to the Hyuga Genji, the village and clan were one. The interests of Konoha outweighed all the interests of their clans.
"Leave Konoha? Go to the moon?"
Danzo, standing before Genji, found the whole thing utterly absurd.
But Danzo thought about it more carefully. If something as illogical as an Uchiha awakening their Mangekyou Sharingan and summoning a meteor to destroy the world could happen, what else couldn't happen?
So Danzo stared into Genji's eyes and asked, "Tell me, Genji, what method did the Hyuga clan use to get to the moon?"
Genji Hyuga shook his head and said, "I really don't know, Lord Danzo. The clan head did not tell us the solution at the meeting."
"What else did you say at the meeting?" Danzo pressed.
Genji did not hide anything; he told Danzo everything that happened at the meeting without reservation.
"The Hyuga clan is descended from Hamura, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths?" Danzo was shocked, but pretended to be indifferent.
“Yes,” Hyuga Genji said, bowing his head.
"I want to know your opinion of Hyuga, Genji," Danzo asked, his eyes fixed on Hyuga Genji.
Genji Hyuga immediately replied, "The Hyuga clan is just as narrow-minded as the Uchiha. They only care about the interests and survival of their own clan, and they don't care about the lives of Konoha and the millions of people."
“I have already tried to persuade them, but the clan chief and the others are completely unmoved, so I have no choice but to come here to report to Lord Danzo.” Genji said, raising his head with a resolute gaze.
"That's exactly why the Hyuga clan only cares about their own clan and completely ignores the fact that they are members of Konoha."
Upon hearing Genji's words, Danzo placed his hand on Genji's shoulder and praised him highly, "I admire you, Genji. You did the right thing by transcending the boundaries of your clan and standing on the side of Konoha. You are an excellent ninja with the Will of Fire, and it is only by bearing the darkness that you can continue to move forward."
Then, Danzo released his grip and told Genji Hyuga about his own story: "For so many years, I have been walking in the darkness of Konoha, protecting the village as the root in the darkness."
"And there are many people like me who silently protect the village in the dark."
"They move forward in the darkness, willing to sacrifice everything for the collective good; these are the true ninjas."
"Everything is for Konoha! This is the Will of Fire, do you understand?" Danzo said solemnly in the dimly lit hall.
"I understand and will heed Lord Danzo's teachings."
In the flickering lamplight, Danzo's figure appeared even more imposing in Hyuga Genji's eyes.
The ninja who always moves forward in the darkness is the true ninja!
Genji was filled with admiration for Danzo's words. What is a true ninja! Lord Danzo is a true ninja!
"Ah."
After saying this, Danzo closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
Then, Hyuga Genji nervously asked Danzo, "Lord Danzo, I wonder how the village's higher-ups intend to handle this matter?"
Genji still felt a pang of reluctance; he wanted to fight for the family that had given him birth.
Unexpectedly, Danzo's next words plunged the Hyuga Genji into despair.
"A sword can corrupt the heart, and the Hyuga clan, a prestigious family in Konoha, has become rotten."
"Just before the crisis struck, Konoha was working together, but then the Hyuga incident happened."
"When has Konoha ever wronged the Hyuga clan? Since they intend to defect, then for the sake of Konoha's unity, the sacrifice of the Hyuga clan is necessary."
Upon hearing this, Danzo opened his eyes, and a darkness seemed to spread from his deep gaze.
"You should know without me saying it that Konoha does not tolerate betrayal."
Danzo stared into Genji's eyes and slowly said, "If we tolerate traitors, governing Konoha will become unsustainable. Moreover, the meteorite is about to fall; you must know the gravity of the situation!"
"The Hyuga clan now intends to defect from Konoha, and they will surely face the death penalty."
"The reason I'm telling you all this is so that you can stand on Konoha's side at the right time, learn to assess the situation, and not perish with your clan."
"To be an enemy of Konoha is to die. Even the Hyuga clan will not be an exception." Danzo said, while thinking to himself: If you were Hiruzen, you would surely be weak and want to find a peaceful solution! I am not as weak as you.
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
Genji felt heavy-hearted after hearing Danzo's words.
He knew the village was facing a crisis from the meteorite impact, and that this was a sensitive time. The village would be more aggressive in handling anything than ever before.
Genji did not want the Hyuga clan to become enemies with Konoha, but the Hyuga clan only wanted to protect themselves.
He, Genji, had tried his best to persuade the Hyuga clan to change their minds, but they remained obstinate. He couldn't blame them for that.
Genji Hyuga had already made up his mind. If the Hyuga clan was determined to defect from Konoha and go to the moon, then he, Genji, would definitely stand on Konoha's side and annihilate the Hyuga clan, the strongest clan in Konoha.
Ignoring the bigger picture, disregarding the plight of all living beings, and disregarding the predicament of Konoha, what is the point of such a narrow-minded clan, even if they are of the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths and possess great power, if they continue to exist?
The Hyuga clan, having left Konoha, has no reason to continue existing.
Genji was determined to uphold the greater good of Konoha and even at the cost of his own life, to nip the Hyuga clan's defection in the bud. Why was he so determined? Because he had long considered himself a part of Konoha.
Everything is for Konoha!!!
Chapter 94 Must Not Be Left Alive
Looking at Hyuga Genji's appearance, Danzo felt a pang of emotion.
This scene seemed familiar to Danzo.
He had said something similar to Itachi at some point.
To be honest, as a spy for Konoha, Itachi Uchiha performed his mission exceptionally well, had it not been for that damned variable, Shin Uchiha. Itachi completely eliminated the threat posed by the Uchiha clan, a threat that had existed since the founding of Konoha. His only mistake was leaving his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, alive.
Even Danzo himself didn't expect that during the Uchiha clan massacre, an anomaly like Uchiha Shin would emerge, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan and destroying the world—it's truly absurd.
Danzo has already investigated Uchiha Shin's background. He has mediocre ninja talent, at most he is just a little clever, and he is not special. He is also disabled.
Strangely, it was precisely this kind of person who had a relationship with Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, which truly puzzled Danzo.
However, now is not the time to dwell on this. It is an undeniable fact that Uchiha Shin summoned a meteor to destroy the world, and that huge meteor will soon fall on Earth.
