Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

"Do you also want to betray the Hyuga clan?"

"I just want to break free from the control of the main family."

In the standoff between the main family and the branch family, Hinata and Neji Hyuga, who are now mature enough, stand on two different sides.

Being too young and lacking the strength, they could only watch helplessly as their fathers argued loudly.

Behind Hyuga Neji was the suppressed anger of the branch family members; behind Hyuga Hinata was the taut nerves of the main family members.

The main family's obstruction and the division of the family's resistance were met with a barrage of words and a tense atmosphere, where a major battle could break out at any moment.

This situation has persisted for three years within the entire Hyuga clan.

From the initial tentative steps and tiny sparks, they have now become sworn enemies.

"If you've got the guts, kill all of us who split up the family. Let's see how you explain that to the village."

Hyuga Hizashi strode forward, roaring mercilessly at his elder brother, Hyuga Hiashi, "At worst, the entire branch family will join the Uchiha. As long as we can gain our freedom, we'll accept being a subordinate clan."

He can be a caged bird, but his child.

Neji Hyuga, currently the most talented of his generation, is absolutely unacceptable. If he wants to be a good father, he absolutely cannot allow such inhumane things to happen again.

"Hizashi."

"Brother."

"Chieftain."

The hysterical shouts rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Hyuga clan territory.

Anyone can see how dangerously divided the Hyuga clan has become.

Seeing the scene of utter chaos before him, Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, was completely bewildered and stood there helplessly.

Is this the kind of Hyuga clan he truly desires?

It's practically on the verge of completely falling apart... Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office in Konoha.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, chuckled softly, slowly stroking the retirement report he had already prepared in his hand.

The position of Hokage should be passed down.

Three years have passed, and the village of Konoha has now stabilized. Meanwhile, the calls for a new Hokage are growing louder and louder.

In this situation...

That old fellow really should retire.

We can no longer block the path of young people, otherwise, we may even lose our reputation in our later years.

However, before he steps down, he must not leave a mess for the young people; instead, he should leave behind a more stable Konoha Village.

This was the last thing he, the Third Hokage, should do.

"Yun'an, how should we resolve the matter concerning the Hyuga clan?"

At this moment, several elders and advisors from Konoha were in the office.

However, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were completely unable to get a word in edgewise.

Three years have passed, and the tide of the new era has swept through, enough to completely eliminate their power structure throughout Konoha Village, leaving them nothing more than two mascots in name only.

On the contrary, Danzo Shimura embraced the arrival of this new era.

So now.

Although he has not officially become a candidate for Hokage, he is already qualified to compete.

Compared to three years ago.

His influence has grown so much that it has made him even more determined to follow the path he is on.

Resolving the chaos within the Hyuga clan was the last thing Hiruzen Sarutobi did before stepping down as Hokage.

The unspoken meaning behind his words was that he wanted to gather all the resources in the village to completely eradicate this hidden danger.

You can trust your descendants, but you can't rely solely on them.

Don't pass on the problem to others.

This was Hiruzen Sarutobi's final bottom line, and the last thing he, as a qualified Third Hokage, should do.

……

"What does the Hyuga clan's business have to do with you, old man?"

"Can't we just leave the mess of the main family's division to the future Hokage?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yun An slowly spoke.

Although he has not yet obtained the position of Hokage, he is already a person who holds the real power of Hokage. As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the council hall instantly froze.

"Be careful not to ruin your reputation in your later years. You wouldn't want that to happen, old man."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone picked up the thread, took a sip of tea, and said with a hint of amusement, "Hehe, if the Hyuga clan, whether main or branch, dares to disobey the village's rules again, then we'll hand them over to the next Hokage to make an example of them."

The speaker was none other than Shimura Danzo. His tone was as cold and ruthless as ever, yet every word hit the nail on the head: "In this way, we can use them to establish our authority. Is this a solution?"

This method achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop, and it is even a rare and ingenious thing for the new Hokage who is about to take office. It really makes people admire it without even realizing it.

"This...this isn't a good idea?"

Koharu Utatane frowned, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance, "The Hyuga clan is, after all, a prestigious clan in Konoha."

She glanced at Mitokado Homura beside her, winking and making faces at him, but Mitokado Homura simply lowered his eyes, pretending not to see her.

Compared to Koharu Utatane, Erokazu Mito is better able to recognize the current situation.

Those two old guys had long since become dispensable figures in Konoha's power structure.

The political landscape in Konoha is becoming increasingly brutal.

The clans behind them were not powerful, nor did they have the necessary special armed forces at crucial moments. Naturally, the two men had no real power.

Even if they still have some titles, they are merely nominal decorations and have no right to discuss how to deal with the Hyuga clan.

This situation seems particularly cruel, but for the two of them, it is the best possible outcome.

As expected, Koharu's words were ignored, and no one responded.

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Lord Danzo's method is acceptable; we might as well give it a try."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at him, but his gaze eventually settled on Yun An.

As long as Yun An agrees, with his support, no matter whether the Hyuga clan's problems are left over or resolved, they will never cause any major trouble.

This is what Hiruzen Sarutobi truly cares about.

After all, the Hyuga clan doesn't even have a Kage-level ninja, so how could they possibly withstand the overall strength of the entire village?

As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi has always only cared about the stability of the entire village, turning a blind eye to everything else.

As long as you don't violate his taboos, the village is relatively peaceful.

But now, Konoha is about to usher in a new era with a new leader, so unstable forces like the Hyuga clan must be dealt with.

After all, they are in a completely different situation from the Uchiha clan, who have already completed their transformation.
