Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

If he hadn't been so shocked by the Wood Release and the Uchiha incident, he might have run away after hearing just the beginning.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, there is no clan more slippery than the Hyuga.

However, it was clear that Vortex Sky, standing in mid-air, did not intend to let him go so easily.

"The Sharingan's insight is suitable for killing enemies, but the Hyuga's Byakugan is suitable for reconnaissance of enemy movements in large-scale wars. Hyuga Hiashi, are you sure that after this lenient treatment, no one will have designs on the Byakugan?"

Uzumaki Sora chuckled as he spoke, "I heard that the eye from Kirigakure is quite useful to them, and it seems that someone from Kumogakure has raised some special opinions."

"Since there's a cursed seal on the branch family, why don't we just go to the main family? What do you think of this method?"

These words enraged Rizu Qing, and if it weren't for the giant tree in front of him keeping him calm, he might have unleashed a hundred and two palm strikes.

So it has to be said that Hyuga is still quite cunning.

In my memory, three generations of people made the clan chief pay with his life, and if it weren't for his brother, Rizu might have been the one to pay with his life.

After a moment of thought, Hiashi's white eyes flashed with the image of the Fourth Hokage.

Then, a pair of Sharingan eyes with a distinctive cross-shaped mark appeared within the Byakugan's field of vision.

Kaleidoscope?

and many more!

At that moment, Uchiha Yun, who was standing next to Shisui, also opened his eyes, and his Mangekyou Sharingan, which resembled three-bladed darts, spun in his eye sockets.

The Uchiha clan possessed two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, and Kakashi, who was rumored to have effectively taken control of the Jonin team beyond just his title...

Unbeknownst to many, given the weakness of the third generation, has the fourth generation already grown to this extent?

"Buzz!"

In an instant, Kakashi, who had been silently standing behind Minato, also raised his headband, and the Sharingan inside changed shape.

Two and a half pairs?!

……

Chapter 53: Hinata's Choice

As one of the two great families of Konoha, along with the Uchiha, the Hyuga have a long history of records about the Sharingan, dating back to the Warring States period.

Especially after Madara Uchiha, his unique Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan, made the entire ninja world remember the power of the Uchiha clan.

In fact, if the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, hadn't also possessed terrifying Wood Release, it's hard to say who would have been able to restrain Madara Uchiha back then.

And now...

Within the 360-degree field of vision of the Byakugan, both pairs and a half kaleidoscopes were slowly rotating, even though they weren't looking at him, but this power...

"Wherever leaves dance in the air, fire will burn. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout..."

Hiashi Hyuga's voice rang out, and he looked at the Fourth Hokage, saying, "The Hyuga clan has always remembered the First Hokage's original intention in founding Konoha. During the Warring States period, the average lifespan was only thirty years, and even children who were just old enough to wield a sword had to go to the battlefield."

"Konoha was founded to end the war and to stop the younger generations of various clans from dying violent deaths. The clans joined Konoha for the same reason: to achieve stability."

"The flaws do not overshadow the merits, and the merits do not overshadow the flaws. In any case, none of the clans in Konoha that possess secret bloodline techniques will want to become trapped lambs, at the mercy of others!"

As he spoke, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Shisui and Uchiha Un: "On this point, Hyuga and Uchiha stand together."

After speaking, Hiashi Hyuga did not look at the Third Hokage, whose face had turned ashen. Instead, he turned around and stood behind the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and lowered his head, saying nothing more.

Clearly, while Hiashi's words sided with the entire Konoha clan's secret techniques and bloodline limits, his actions were still focused on the Fourth Hokage.

Even with two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, one still needs to abide by certain political rules, unless one wants to be like Madara Uchiha, an enemy of the whole world.

Uchiha Yun sighed inwardly. Although Danzo was gone, the road ahead in the high-level power struggle seemed long and arduous.

But what choice will you make next... Minato Namikaze?

For a long time after Hiashi Hyuga finished speaking, the scene remained silent.

Everyone, including the direct subordinates of both Hokage, was waiting for the Fourth Hokage's answer.

"call……"

Minato Namikaze exhaled and looked solemnly at his teacher's teacher, the same old man who had helped him rise to the position of Hokage.

Although the Third Hokage did indeed delegate power, the living previous Hokage represented many aspects.

Now, for the first time, we have the right to confront it.

"Next... Jia will lead my direct ANBU and the Jonin search team to... investigate the entire Root ruins. Inoichi's intelligence team is also on standby, ready to use all means to gather all the past information about Root."

"If... Danzo really did these things to the Konoha ninjas... no! The Konoha villagers, then... he cannot enter the memorial monument."

Just as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to say something when he was interrupted by Minato Namikaze's next words.

"Of course, Danzo belongs to the upper echelons of Konoha no matter what. As the current Hokage, I also bear responsibility for this incident. In fact, this has become a dark chapter in Konoha's history and cannot be exposed."

"Therefore, everything concerning the root is sealed in the archives and no one is allowed to disclose it."

After speaking, Minato Namikaze stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The meaning in his eyes was crystal clear; this was the limit he, as the fourth generation, could achieve.

The essence of politics is mutual compromise.

"Phew... Is that so?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his once upright body now appearing somewhat hunched.

"Wherever leaves dance in the air, fire will burn. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout..."

“We are getting old, and new leaves are sprouting. Fourth Hokage, you should eliminate me. I never intended to control Konoha forever.”

"I only glance at it occasionally when I'm worried. Perhaps, as Jiraiya and Tsunade said when they left, our generation lacks trust in the next generation."

"But please believe me, whether it's me or Danzo, everything we do is for Konoha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiashi Hyuga, who had been keeping his head down and remaining silent, sighed inwardly.

As expected...

Only the third generation could comfortably place themselves on the moral high ground.

trust?

Starting with the Second Hokage, the Ninja Academy was established, and the Scroll of Seals appeared.

How much trust did they give to the Uchiha?

How much trust did they give to the major clans of Konoha?

Hiashi sometimes feels fortunate that the Byakugan has far fewer uses compared to the Sharingan, yet its role is indispensable in large-scale wars.

In addition, there has been a long-standing conflict between the main family and the branch family.

Perhaps this is why the Hyuga clan was preserved: Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga...

……

“Uzumaki Sora… Just as Menyan said, no matter what Danzo is like, you killed Konoha’s high-ranking officials and destroyed the entire Root organization.”

Under the command of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Enma transformed into an iron rod and aimed it directly at Sora Uzumaki.

"Next, you will have to pay the price for your actions."

The vortex in mid-air shrugged, looking at the Third Hokage with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot: "Was I not clear just now? Although you are proficient in the Five Elements Ninjutsu, old man, what way do you have to stop me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the vortex in mid-air: "Minato is too dangerous for Konoha. In truth, I understand that we should indeed trust the next generation."

"From now on, everything in Konoha is in your hands!"

Minato Namikaze was taken aback by what he heard. Could it be...?

Corpse Demon Sealing?

how come?

"Lord Third Generation, you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly: "People tend to reminisce about the past when they get old. Perhaps I've been wrong all along. But as the new generation of Kage, you will definitely do better than me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Hokage quickly formed hand seals: "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Looking at the flames sweeping in, the vortex in mid-air was somewhat bewildered.

that's it?

What about the Five Elements Great Combo Technique?

What about the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique?

With a casual clap of both hands, the seal of the Snake is formed.

"boom!!"

In an instant, countless trees surged forth, and the endless giant trees even extinguished the incoming fire dragon.

As the dust settled, Sora and Hiruzen Sarutobi below stared at each other wide-eyed.

(That's it?)

(Why aren't you leaving yet?)

The eye contact was completely irrelevant, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi in a difficult position.

……

Chapter 54: Light

"Ape Demon!"

At Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, the iron rod instantly extended and hurtled into the air.

"boom!!"

One punch!

With a single punch, he sent the oncoming iron rod flying, and Uzumaki Sora and Hiruzen Sarutobi locked eyes once more.

"Fourth Hokage, we can't get close like this. Help me," the Third Hokage said in a low voice.
