"The crime of treason is the biggest factor that directly impacts and endangers the peace of Konoha."

Seeing that no one reacted, Hyuga Neji's face was as cold as ice, and he continued:

"If a ninja village has no rules, it is doomed to not last long.

"If those who don't follow the rules are not punished, it will give rise to countless bastards who are exactly the same and will imitate their original behavior!"

"."

After a moment of silence, Hatake Kakashi spoke first, and said calmly:

"Hinata Hiashi is dead."

"What I'm talking about now is the participation of the entire Hyuga clan!"

However, Hyuga Neji did not retreat at all. He suddenly raised his voice and spoke loudly.

On the side, Mizutomon Yan was already disheartened.

At this time, based on his inner sense of responsibility towards Konoha, he finally raised his head and said earnestly:

“Right now, external pressure is increasing day by day.

"After Shimura Danzo's rebellion, Konoha can no longer withstand the slightest impact.

"Now, the Seventh Hokage has just taken office, and there is a lot of work to be done, and people are eager for peace.

“If we rashly attack the Hyuga clan at this point in time, I’m afraid it will send a very negative signal to the outside world.

“In my opinion, it is better to appease his heart.

"Letting him make amends for his crime not only demonstrates the Seventh Hokage's magnanimity, but also complies with the core interests of the Konohagakure under the current circumstances."

"So, what you mean, Advisor Senior, is that the ninjas who participated in the crime of treason do not need to be punished?!"

Hearing such remarks, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but slam the table.

The words he spoke were indeed directed at Mito Kado En.

But his eyes were looking at Uchiha Sasuke beside him.

“Don’t be so excited, Neji-sama.

"Everything is naturally decided by the Hokage-sama."

Knowing that his influence was not as great as that of Mitomon En back then, he only felt a deep sense of fatigue at this moment.

He looked listless, and he slowly narrowed his eyes and lowered his head, no longer looking at the young and energetic young man.

Silence and stalemate filled the meeting room.

Finally, Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, sat up straight, and said calmly:

"To make amends for one's crime is indeed a ridiculous idea.

"but."

Chapter 405 Preparing for War

"However, what Mitokado En-senpai mentioned is a matter of timing.

"Indeed, there is some truth to it."

"!"

Hearing this, Mizuto Menen suddenly raised his head and looked at the Seventh Hokage in disbelief, he simply couldn't believe his ears.

At the same time, Hyuga Neji also couldn't believe his ears.

"Before discussing the treatment of the Hyuga clan, I think we need to reach a consensus on the following prerequisites."

In the conference room, Uchiha Sasuke's calm voice was still echoing:

"First of all, the issue we just discussed, participating in assisting the rebellious ninja, is not the core crime of the Hyuga clan.

“All ninja affiliated with the Root Organization, and even the Muyan Squad that directly participated in the battle, will be given a chance to be pardoned.

"When it comes to the Hyuga clan, why do the standards for punishment suddenly become so strict?"

"Sasuke, you."

Hyuga Neji had a complicated expression and couldn't help but open his mouth to say something.

"Ningji, just listen to what I have to say, okay?"

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head, his eyes earnest but firm.

Just listen to him continue:

“If we cannot unify the standards for punishment or reward when doing things, the people will just feel at a loss.

“By that time, no matter how many reward cases there are, the public will not feel motivated, but will feel that with the vague standards, it may not be their turn.

“No matter how severe the punishment is, the public will not be afraid, but will feel lucky because the standards are vague.

"By that time, the meaning of the rules you mentioned will have long since disappeared."

Uchiha Sasuke's words made everyone in the room nod their heads repeatedly.

Only Hyuga Neji felt a sense of anger and grievance of betrayal.

Just then, Uchiha Sasuke changed the subject and continued:

"Back to the Hyuga clan, as Kakashi-sensei said, their involvement in Shimura Danzo ended with the death of Hyuga Hiashi.

"Next, the focus of our discussion should be on two aspects."

Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hand and tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, tapping gently.

The monotonous and slow beat gradually eased the tense atmosphere in the house.

I only heard Uchiha Sasuke slowly say:

"First, why has the Hyuga clan been promoting a 'country within a country' for so many years?

"How should we deal with the historical problems of knowing only the Hyuga clan leader but not the Konoha Hokage?

"In the past, the Hyuga clan maintained an independent status in war, missions, and defense work. Was this reasonable?"

When Uchiha Sasuke said this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"Secondly, the Hyuga clan has persisted in the bad habit of 'birds in a cage' for many years. It is completely contrary to the new spirit advocated by Konoha at present."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"As the Hokage, the things I care about have always been consistent.

“Are the current measures conducive to the healthy growth of extraordinary talents?

“Do the corresponding arrangements ensure fairness in the right to development among people?

“No matter from which angle you look at it, the existence of the bird in the cage is a blatant violation of the policies I advocate.

"From this perspective, as long as the Hyuga clan exists, what I said about 'putting people first' will be nothing but ridiculous empty talk."

When Uchiha Sasuke finished speaking, everyone in the room was horrified.

It was not until the last sentence appeared that everyone suddenly realized.

Uchiha Sasuke's murderous intent is no weaker than Hyuga Neji's.

However, its deduction process is extremely rational and cold, and its logic is so strict that it is frightening.

Mizuto Kado En looked at this man in astonishment.

On the main seat, Uchiha Sasuke, who was wearing the Hokage's divine robe, seemed to have the same figure as his mentor, the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

The others include Kakashi, who has a relatively keen sense of smell, and Nara Shikamaru.

At this moment, I have clearly realized it.

The seventh Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke.

The political literacy and business skills possessed by this young ninja are far beyond any ninja that everyone has seen before.

"Do you have any objection to this?"

Uchiha Sasuke tapped the table in front of him again, glanced at everyone, and asked indifferently.

Faced with such a strong and solid theoretical foundation, everyone was unable to utter a word.

"very good.

“Then, in the future, all discussions about the Hyuga clan should be based on the above two points of consensus.

"Everyone, go back and think about this. We will continue the discussion next time."

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head to look at Hyuga Neji and asked calmly:

"May I?"

"it is good

"Ok."

Neji Hyuga is not stupid.

He understood that with Sasuke's words, the disposal and end of the Hyuga clan was a foregone conclusion.

He just lowered his head silently and said nothing more.

"Is it my turn?"

Seeing that the Hokage's gaze had finally come to him, Nara Shikamaru quickly sat up straight, coughed lightly, and reported:

"The 'Feng Shui Fusion' plan for the Sand Village formulated by the Fifth Hokage has been successfully completed beyond expectations.

"Right now, the honorary leader of the Sand Village is still the fifth Kazekage Temari.

"The troops led by Mei Terumi have successfully settled down in the Sand Village and have been reorganized into the Sand Village's defense garrison.

"Among them, Mei Terumi was given the position of 'General' of the Sand Village.

"His subordinates still maintain their Mist Hidden Headbands. The two sides are independent of each other, mutually beneficial, and have reached a cooperative relationship that both sides can agree on."
