"They are afraid of us, and they are also afraid of all living things. So they dare not move forward, and even hold the world back from moving forward."

"How sad is that?"

Chapter 378 A Different Namikaze Minato, the Cry of Kumogakure

The continuation of the nobility is longer than that of the ninja clan. Without the power of chakra, the nobility has been holding power in other ways since before the Warring States Period, and their accumulated knowledge is extremely rich.

The knowledge here is not what is taught in ninja schools, such as kunai throwing parabolas, etc.

Instead, it is based on what happened in the past, that is, historical events, and the experiences of generations, telling the story of the power called "power politics".

History is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations.

Things that really happened are the most thought-provoking.

The ancestors of the ninja nobles, because their own strength was even like that of ants compared to that of the ninjas, they naturally chose another path.

Through economic constraints and war consumption, the number of ninjas is always maintained at a balanced limit.

Until someone started telling the ninjas about history.

The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was well aware of the nobles' tactics, and he also knew why these people wanted to hinder the development of the times.

Before the establishment of the Research Institute in the Land of Rain, technological power was actually not a blank in the ninja world.

For example, there are radio communications used by ninjas when performing missions, and there are many devices in Konoha Hospital that require electricity.

Electricity, after being able to utilize this energy, in fact many things should have followed, but this is not the case now.

The development of science and technology will threaten their rule. So even though they know that science and technology will bring progress to the world, they will only further block it.

Radios, video recorders, and so on, all prove this.

……

Late at night, three figures appeared on the outskirts of the Hyuga clan's territory.

Under the dense leaves, Shisui, who was squatting on the tree trunk, still did not react.

Itachi wanted to take action, but Shisui grabbed his arm.

"team leader."

"Hokage-sama has ordered that no action be taken until the hostages leave the village."

"understood."

Itachi quieted down.

After the two of them looked at each other, Itachi guessed something.

In the village, the Hyuga clan is one of the nobles of the Land of Fire. After the history class began, the Hyuga seemed to be isolated from the core like the Uchiha in the past.

According to the information obtained by the Anbu, Yunyin seems to be targeting the eldest daughter of the head of the main family, so the purpose is self-evident.

White eyes.

Shisui watched as the three Kumogakure used secret techniques to sneak into the Hyuga clan's territory silently, with their chakra reduced to the lowest level.

This kind of secret technique is effective for perception-type ninjas, but it still cannot conceal the breath that can be heard by the observation Haki.

In comparison, Shisui was clearer than Itachi.

In the Hokage's office in the building, during the conversation between the Hokage and Shikaku, the assistant of the Nara family mentioned Hinata Hizashi.

The conflict between the main family and the branch family of the Hyuga clan has been going on for a long time. This action may be an opportunity for the Hyuga clan to split up.

Four years later, the flames of thought had already spread across half of the ninja world. The day of liberating the entire ninja world was not far away, and perhaps the Hokage was also trying to unite the forces of the village.

"here we go."

Itachi beside him reminded softly.

While the two of them were watching the scene, three Kumogakure messengers had already carried out the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family.

Hinata Hyuga is from the same period as Sasuke and Naruto.

"Although Hyuga Hiashi is the head of the main family and doesn't have to go to the battlefield or carry out missions, this doesn't mean that this head of the family is stupid..."

As soon as Shisui finished speaking, someone from the Hyuga clan rushed out.

"who!"

With a loud shout, Bagua Kongzhang rose into the air.

"puff."

The Cloud Village, who had abducted Hinata and was about to leave, was hit by this palm and vomited blood.

Hinata was thrown into the air, and another Cloud Hidden Village caught her and ran away again.

However, Hinata Hiashi's empty palm followed closely behind.

In just a moment, three corpses were lying at the gate of the Hyuga clan's territory.

However, when Hyuga Hiashi, who was holding Hinata, saw the identities of the people on the ground, he was stunned.

"Yunyin..."

With the power of the Byakugan, if Hinata was not in danger, Hyuga Hiashi would have discovered the other party's identity in the first moment.

But now, he only felt terrified.

"Father...Father."

Hinata Hyuga, who was also only six years old, was frightened and trembling all over.

Hinata Hiashi took a deep breath and said, "Go home."

At this time, the guards of the main family in the Hyuga clan also came out, accompanied by two elders.

"Hizuki, what's going on..."

He didn't continue talking because he was shocked by the forehead protectors of the three corpses.

"Take the body back to the courtyard first."

Hyuga Hiashi handed Hinata in his arms to the tribe members, and then went to the tribe meeting place with two elders.

……

"Master Patriarch, if the body is brought to the courtyard, there will be no chance to deny it."

"I know."

"This is a special period. We must be careful when burying them in one place. If they are discovered by Kumogakure, the Hinata will be in real danger."

As an elder of the Hyuga clan, age brings experience, and he also knows that if this matter is discovered, the Hyuga choice will become a bargaining chip for the other party.

However...Hinata Hiashi still had his eyes closed and didn't pay any attention at all.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the sun set, but the person Hinata Hiashi was waiting for still did not appear.

"Is the Patriarch waiting for the Hokage?"

"It's still not too late to bury the body now."

As they spoke, they both looked towards Hinata Hiashi.

Hinata Hiashi shook his head slightly: "After the first guy who grabbed Hinata was killed by me with one palm, these preparations were already too late."

Hearing this, the two Hyuga elders looked at each other and sighed.

"Before the conflict with Kirigakure, Hinata made the right choice, but afterward, it was indeed our advice that was wrong."

"We Hyuga were born in Konoha, not the Daimyo's Mansion. This alone is enough to give us the answer."

Hinata Hiashi's eyes were bloodshot.

They are also members of the nobility, with sufficient background, and naturally have the basic ability to analyze events.

Three people came to the Hyuga clan's territory to rob the eldest daughter of the clan leader. The Cloud Village was not confident, but did it on purpose.

The Hyuga clan's Byakugan, because the members of the branch family have a curse seal, even if they die on the battlefield or are captured, their eyes cannot be obtained by the enemy.

But the Zong family does not have a curse seal.

It became clear why the other party chose Hinata...it was to force me to take action.

As long as they take action themselves, they will have an excuse.

There are also Anbu directly under the Hokage.

Shisui, who became famous in the Third Shinobi World War a few years ago, must be responsible for monitoring Kumogakure in this situation.

But until he killed three of them, the other party did not take action.

This is the embodiment of Hokage's attitude.

Three hours later, Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch family, arrived and brought the order from the Hokage, asking Hizashi to go to the Hokage Building immediately.

……

At the same time, there was a huge quarrel in the Hokage Building.

The envoy from Kumogakure inquired about the disappearance of three members of the envoy group in Konoha. The captain, as the representative, questioned the Fourth Hokage and put all the blame on Konoha.

"It seems you have no sincerity in peace! Three of our envoys are missing in Konoha. Are you trying to start a war again?"

"If we can't find them, Lord Raikage will definitely go to war with Konoha! The peace agreement was torn up by your own hands!"

"I no longer see any desire for peace in Konoha!"

"Lord Hokage!"

At this moment, Minato Namikaze was still processing documents and ignored the Kumogakure envoy who had been yelling at him for half an hour.

Shikaku on the side was also busy sorting documents.

It was not until this time that Minato Namikaze put down his pen.

"The messengers from Kumogakure, please be patient. My Anbu were probably in the Hyuga clan territory of the village when they last saw them."

"I have already asked the head of the Hyuga clan to come here. Konoha will fully cooperate with Kumogakure to investigate the truth behind this disappearance. We will also allow the Hyuga clan to use the power of the Byakugan, with special permission for the village to use it, to find the three missing messengers from Kumogakure."

"Your Excellency can wait for a moment."

As he said that, Minato lowered his head and continued to process the documents. The Kumogakure, who had been noisy all morning, now looked a little strange.

the truth?

He knew very well what the truth was.

But why does the meaning of the Fourth Hokage's words seem equally clear?

After sitting down with an angry look on his face, Yunyin maintained his expression, but he was already thinking about his discovery in his heart.

It seems that the other party doesn't care.

This is not right... Intelligence shows that the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze is the great-disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his personality can be said to be somewhat weak compared to Orochimaru or the Second Hokage.

As long as they force him, Hinata Hiashi will have no way to refuse.

Using the peace of a village to suppress one person is something that even the head of the Hyuga family cannot bear.

But thinking about the preparations I had made...

"Dong dong dong."

After knocking on the door, Hyuga Hiashi walked in and bowed slightly to Namikaze Minato.

"Hyuuga Hinashi!"

With a roar, the opponent seemed to vent his anger and wanted to jump up, but just as he took action and wanted to reach out to grab Rizu's collar, the result...

"Om..."

The domineering aura mastered by Minato Namikaze flashed by, and in an instant, the opponent's heart tightened. The fear from the bottom of his heart even made him stand there in a daze.

"Hinata is Konoha's Hyuuga."

Namikaze Minato stood up and looked directly at the messenger from Kumogakure: "I asked Hiashi to come here to help you with your investigation. You need to understand this."

The oppression of the domineering aura dissipated immediately, and the opponent stood up.
