Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 372 Development

"Hiruzen, are we really going to hand over Hyuga Hizashi's body to the Cloud Ninja?"

"Perhaps we should consider Danzo's opinion!"

In the Hokage's office, the Konoha F4 sat down together again to discuss the situation.

Koharu Utatane also felt that the Cloud Ninja had gone too far this time and began to agree with Danzo's statement.

Not only him, but even Mitokado Homura felt that it was wrong for the village to simply hand over the Hyuga clan's corpses to the Cloud Ninja.

Will this lead to the leak of Hinata's secret?

"We cannot be too weak, otherwise our surrounding enemies will only think we are weak and easily bullied!"

"At that point, not only the other four major powers, but even the smaller neighboring countries might see an opportunity to take advantage!"

Upon seeing that Koharu supported his idea of ​​starting a war, Danzo quickly seized the opportunity to persuade the Third Hokage.

"I didn't directly refuse the Cloud Ninja's request, partly because I wanted to end this stalemate as soon as possible, and partly because..."

At this point, the Third Hokage glanced at his companions before continuing:

"In the face of the various clans in the village, our main target over the years has always been the Uchiha. Looking back now, the Uchiha are still thriving and powerful, and what's even more troublesome is that the Hyuga have gradually emerged in recent years!"

"I also want to take this opportunity to teach this powerful clan of Konoha a lesson!"

Unlike the Uchiha, who could still mix in some scum, the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal determined that all actions of the Hyuga clan members were based on the will of the main family.

For the Hyuga ninja, things like the 'Will of Fire' were completely useless, like casting pearls before swine.

The caged bird of the main family is far more useful than these vague and ethereal things.

"Furthermore, if war breaks out, we will inevitably have to rely on Uchiha Toshiro's power, which will be very disadvantageous for us in suppressing the Uchiha!"

With just a few words, the Third Hokage dissuaded his comrades from continuing the war.

His plan was good, but things often turn out very unexpectedly.

"Chief Fugaku, please wait!"

Hiashi Hyuga, who had just come out of the Hokage Building, was thinking about how to save his younger brother's life when he looked up and saw a familiar figure.

Thinking quickly, he stepped forward and greeted them.

"I wonder if the Uchiha clan head is free? I've heard the camellias at the Ikeda Hall are excellent. Would it be possible for us to go and have a chat together?"

Upon seeing Fugaku Uchiha, a bold idea entered Hiashi's mind. Since the Hyuga's power alone couldn't prevent Hizashi's death, why not bring the Uchiha along as well?

Although the Uchiha clan has a bad reputation in the village, they are very strong! With their support, the chances of saving Hizashi's life will greatly increase.

Unlike their Hyuga clan, their opponents have a powerful ninja like Uchiha Toshiro, whom even the Third Hokage would have to be wary of.

As for forming an alliance with the other party, he didn't have such an idea, but it wouldn't be bad to put pressure on the Third Hokage through this.

He believed that as long as the news of him having tea with Fugaku Uchiha reached the ears of the Third Hokage, the latter would definitely have some reservations.

If even this can't save Hizashi's life, then forming an alliance with the Uchiha wouldn't be so bad, since they now have a powerful figure capable of defeating the Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki together.

"Oh! It's the Hyuga clan head!"

Although somewhat puzzled, I wondered why the other party had invited me to have tea together out of the blue.

"The Ikeda Hall, huh? Then it would be impolite of us to refuse!"

When faced with Hiashi's invitation, Fugaku Uchiha readily agreed, completely unaware that he had become a tool for Hiashi to express his dissatisfaction to the Third Hokage.

He is currently in a state of extreme inner conflict. On one hand, he is pleasantly surprised by Uchiha Toshiro's strength, which far exceeds his expectations.

On the other hand, there are the increasingly restless first branches of the family.

If these people knew about this, they would probably be even more restless.

"Is this the Ikeda Hall?"

Ikeda Club is a relatively upscale club in Konoha. Those who patronize it are usually prominent figures in Konoha.

The heads or elders of the various clans in Konoha usually choose to sit here when they have something to discuss.

Given Fugaku Uchiha's status, he should have been quite familiar with this place, if not a regular visitor.

"Whenever you have time, Clan Chief Uchiha can come and visit often. I imagine the Uchiha's presence will bring great honor to the association!"

Hiashi led Fugaku into the Ikeda Hall, and every now and then he would introduce some familiar faces to Fugaku.

In the past, the Uchiha clans naturally kept their distance, but now that the Third Hokage is showing signs of aging and the Uchiha clans are at the height of their power, it is only natural for the heads of the smaller clans to befriend them.

"Clan Head Hyuga, you're too kind. With your introduction, I'll definitely come visit often!"

Fugaku already knew of this place's great reputation, but a major reason he hadn't come here was that his family had virtually no friends among the major families of Konoha.

Even if you come here, you'll only be making a fool of yourself.

However, now that he has been introduced by Nissou, he should have a chance to integrate into their group.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Hiashi had done all of this intentionally, so that people would know that he and the Uchiha clan leader had a very pleasant conversation.

"What did you say? The heads of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans are sitting together drinking tea and having a pleasant conversation?"

Before nightfall, less than half an hour later, someone with ulterior motives had already reported his situation to the Third Hokage.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"I understand. Don't tell anyone about this!"

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the clansman, leaving the third generation with a terrible headache.

How did the Uchiha and Hyuga end up together?

One has few connections but great strength; the other is slightly weaker but has good connections. If these two team up…

Upon thinking about this, the Third Hokage and the others present all turned pale.

"Hiruzen, this is no small matter. We absolutely cannot allow the Uchiha and Hyuga to unite!"

"We even need to carefully consider the matter of day laborers, otherwise things will get out of control!"

They had just agreed to give the four members of the Hyuga clan a good beating, but they unanimously rejected their original plan.

"yes!"

"Hyuga's matter can be put on hold for now; we need to prioritize the bigger picture!"
