Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Hyuga Tenzo was in a bad mood.

He encountered the worst-case scenario...

If we say that Hyuga Hizashi's skill in labeling others is one...

Then the middle-aged bandaged man in front of him must be at least ten times over!

In Konoha, the thing the major ninja clans feared most in the past was that while walking in the woods, Danzo Shimura would suddenly appear behind them and say something like the village needed a genius...

"The Hyuga clan and Kirigakure have had private communication for thirty years..."

Danzo Shimura spoke expressionlessly: "What have you been discussing with the Kaguya clan all these years? The Kaguya clan actually believes that the Hyuga clan can influence the Hokage's decisions..."

"Did the village agree? What is Hinata's motive?"

"What are you trying to imply with this letter? What is Hyuga trying to subvert?"

"What is Hinata trying to destroy? Who's behind Hinata? Who's ordering you around?"

Danzo Shimura coldly uttered one question after another.

Hyuga Tenzo's face gradually turned pale.

Damn it, the Dark Side of the Ninja World and the Root of Konoha truly lives up to its name.

But he's not one to be trifled with either; the Hyuga clan leader won't accept this label that's been forced upon him!

Danzo Kashimura waved his hand, his voice gradually growing louder:

"Hyuga's motive is to collude with foreign powers and hedge his bets!"

"What appears to be a proactive report is actually a malicious metaphor! It attempts to compare the Hokage to the Mizukage, and the establishment of patrol units to the Blood Mist Village of Kirigakure!"

"This is destroying the Will of Fire, this is digging up the roots of Konoha..."

Danzo Shimura turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said:

"I think the Third Mizukage is behind the Hyuga clan, and they're using a ruse with the village!"

"By taking advantage of the Hokage's and the village's power, they are recklessly amassing wealth, and conveying to the outside world that the Hyuga are the decision-makers of Konoha, the 'Shadow Hokage'..."

Hyuga Hizashi, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.

Surprisingly, it actually makes some sense.

The anger that had just been stirred up in Hyuga Tenzo's heart was completely suppressed by one logically coherent big hat after another.

With his hands and feet ice cold, he even felt a bit of admiration for Shimura Danzo.

Although the Hyuga and Konoha are not comparable in size, they are both high-ranking organizations with virtually no say in the matter…

Hyuga Tenzo also used similar methods to suppress the branch family.

However, compared to Shimura Danzo's divergent thinking and his tendency to escalate complex issues, it's far inferior...

"You're speechless now? You've been exposed and are trying to come up with a plan?"

Danzo Shimura's tone grew increasingly cold: "You Hyuga claim to be a powerful clan, so what kind of people were your ancestors?"

"Did they produce Madara Uchiha, who could fight alongside the First Hokage? Or Izuna Uchiha, who could rival Tobirama-sensei?"

"Even the Uchiha wouldn't dare do this, how dare you Hyuga!" Shimura Danzo slammed his fist on the table, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he had activated his Byakugan.

These words struck a nerve with Hyuga Tenzo.

The Byakugan and Sharingan, along with the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, have long been considered the two great families of Konoha's dojutsu (eye techniques).

But anyone with a discerning eye can see where the parallels really lie. To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a name-grabbing attempt...

That's what Shimura Danzo meant.

Compared to the Uchiha, the village has been quite tolerant of the Hyuga, yet you still want to push your luck?

"The Hyuga clan has absolutely no intention of assisting you, sir!"

"Look, isn't Hizashi doing very well in the Anbu?" Hyuga Tenzo took a deep breath. In this situation, joining the branch family of the Anbu had become a lifeline.

"Hizashi did a good job, he's a good lad..." Shimura Danzo continued relentlessly, "But what's his relationship with Hyuga?!"

Hyuga Tenzo was completely dumbfounded.

That's my son, he has whites in his eyes, how can you say it's no big deal?

Even the usually well-mannered Hyuga Tenzo couldn't help but want to swear.

This can be cut?

"The village just recruited a day servant into the Dark Guard, and you rushed over here just to take this letter and curry favor with the village in order to stop the further movement of the branch family."

"You even stirred up trouble between the Japanese and the village. Very well, you're very good..."

Shimura Danzo felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Hyuga Tenzo's reaction.

This Hyuga clan leader was truly unlucky; he ran right into the line of fire.

Recently, Shimura Danzo has learned a lot from Sarutobi Hiruzen…

He also found it very helpful.

But his old habit of labeling people, which he had been doing for so many years, had been put aside for a long time, and it made him itchy to do it again.

The hat was oppressive.

Danzo Shimura was about to speak again.

Hyuga Tenzo felt a tightness in his chest, as if a giant python was coiled around his neck.

This Hokage Building is far more dangerous than the "Village of the Bloody Mist"...

Will he be able to die peacefully today?

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and coughed lightly.

Receive!

Shimura Danzo had already uttered the words, but he immediately shut his mouth again.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised by how decisive this was.

What does it mean...

Why are you being so obedient today?

"Sit down, everyone, sit down and talk." Hiruzen Sarutobi set the tone as soon as he spoke, easing the extremely tense atmosphere.

"Danzo, that's going too far."

"Hyuga shed blood for the village. Even if he made some minor mistakes, he is still a pillar of Konoha. You must remember this and not treat him as an enemy so easily."

Hinata Tenzo felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and his whole body felt much lighter.

The hat was tight, but it was actually quite small…

Naruto does have some logic to it!

This plan is a bit outdated...

The same old red-cop/white-cop routine.

"Tenzo, do you think that Danzo and I are playing the good cop/bad cop game?"

Hyuga Tenzo shook his head with a sheepish smile, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Can Naruto read minds?

Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled a document out of the drawer and placed it in front of him.

It was a list of "Konoha Committee Members".

Hyuga Tenzo was startled.

This list is clearly not something that was just drafted.

He not only saw his own name, but also saw that his name was listed before the Hijiri's!

The matter of the "Konoha Committee" has long been a secret in the village...

Needless to say, the Jonin circle is also abuzz with discussion about who will be selected.

Hyuga Tenzo had hoped that Hizashi would be selected.

If he were the Hokage, he would do the same...

By listing Hizashi as a "Konoha Committee Member" while excluding him, the clan leader, a power struggle could instantly be created between the "Committee Members" and the "Clan Leaders."

No matter how great the main family's power is, can it be greater than that of Konoha?

The Hyuga who split up will surge towards Hizashi like a tide!

This is a blatantly vicious scheme, even more ruthless than the one in "The Village of Blood Mist"...

It's not just about killing people, it's about destroying their spirit.

Hyuga Tenzo was also worried about this for a long time. What should we do if the Hokage really did that?

But he never thought of that.

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually listed him as one of the "Konoha Committee Members"!

"Tenzo, Konoha is about the Will of Fire."

"The relationship between the village and the ninja clan has never been one of life or death, but rather one of mutual benefit..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said:

"This is also the most fundamental difference between Konoha and other hidden villages. I treat every ninja as a friend, brother, and family member, rather than a tool or consumable."

This moment.

Hinata Tenzo couldn't help but have such a thought pass through his mind.

The Will of Fire, it turns out, really wasn't just a slogan...

It actually exists!
