Uchiha's Counterattack

Late at night, Uchiha Mansion.

The delegation from Suna Ninja Village will come to Konoha at noon tomorrow at the latest. Xia Nan held a high-level meeting of Konoha Village in advance at her home for tomorrow's affairs. Of course, this time the high-level leaders are led by the Uchiha family.

The core is supported by the Kurama clan and the Nohara clan, plus the recently joined Hinata.

Bright candlelight illuminated the room, and Xia Nan, who was sitting at the main seat, was in charge of the meeting.

The topic of discussion was how to deal with the Suna ninja who was willing to act as a vanguard, followed by the Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja who followed, as well as the possible mist ninja. Of course, there was also the Akatsuki organization that might be waiting for an opportunity and had already begun to prepare for revenge.

The sporty Kong Ninja, the insidious and cunning Orochimaru hiding in the dark, Jiraiya and Tsunade who may return to the village at any time...etc.

However, there was one thing that people were more concerned about before, and that was that the Konoha ninja sent to the front line had not returned for several days without any news. At this critical moment, any small detail would attract Xia Nan's attention.

"Zaemon, are you saying that there has been no news from the front line since five days?"

"Yes, although the specific reason is not clear, this is not normal. I'm afraid something happened on the front line."

Zaemon answered carefully.

"Could it be a collective defection?"

"This...it's hard to say."

Zaemon hesitated for a moment. At first, he wanted to refute it directly. After all, the collective defection of Konoha ninjas was too unbelievable in the past. Even Uchiha would not be able to do this. But considering the current situation in Konoha,

Regarding the situation in the village, Zaemon hesitated and changed his explanation.

Sitting opposite Uchiha Zaemon was a member of the Nohara clan, Nohara Sen. Before the Hyuga clan came, the Nohara clan had been taking over the security of the entire Konoha. To be honest, they were under a lot of pressure. The leader of the Nohara clan had obviously changed recently.

He has become much older.

But fortunately, the addition of the Hyuga family greatly alleviated the Nohara family's shortage of manpower. Although part of the power was given to Hinata, the Nohara family did not complain about it. After all, first of all, they were just a small family. Secondly, this was also the case with Uchi.

A direct order from the Bourbons, they would have no other ideas.

"The Konoha ninjas originally sent out were just thorns. They were asked to leave Konoha and stay away from the villagers to consider the impact in the future. Moreover, most of them lost their relatives and families in the last civil war. Very soon

It’s hard to guarantee that they will be loyal to Konoha now.”

"What Chief Nohara said makes sense. Those sent out are all tainted guys, stubborn old-schoolers, staunch supporters of the original Hokage faction, haters of the Uchiha faction, and a small family that regards the Sarutobi clan as its headquarter.

, all kinds of guys are inside, it’s hard to guarantee that they defected collectively out of spite.”

"Not just defecting, is it possible that some people were bribed by the other four major ninja villages?"

Suddenly, Kurama Judo, who had been silent, opened his eyes and said: "Now that Konoha has suffered a big change, no matter how blocked and delayed, the entire ninja world should almost know it. Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of people outside the village.

There are countless spies and assassins mixed in with all kinds of outsiders, and we, the Kurama clan, torture out more than ten spies a day."

"Although most of them are "asking stones" (cannon fodder deliberately thrown to attract the attention of law enforcement officials to help real spies sneak into the village), this also shows that the activities of forces outside the village are getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid, those who target us will

There have been more than one conspiracy in Yecun, ten, or hundreds of them brewing secretly."

"...It is true that the possibility of bribery is not impossible. If the frontline troops bribe one group and kill another, this situation is indeed possible. In the final analysis, the current Konoha forces are declining, and it is time for us to stand up.

It was too short and failed to stabilize people's hearts. There were too many things to do and too little that could be accomplished in less than three weeks."

"How about a comprehensive inspection of the village? When someone outside really defectes, there will be no movement in the village. There must be some family members, relatives, or friends among them who stay in Konoha. Let's take every villager there.

Pull him out and use the Sharingan to directly hypnotize and interrogate him. If confirmed, he will be executed in the name of betraying the village."

Uchihaemon suggested raising his hand.

"It's too extreme. It will make it difficult to calm down a lot of internal conflicts due to the joining of the Hyuga clan. Because of this action, all previous efforts will be wasted. It will only make us more passive."

"emon, don't talk nonsense!"

After being scolded by his brother, Youemon reluctantly put down his hand.

At this time, Zaemon turned to look at Hinata Himasa, the representative of the Hyuga family who looked unhappy.

"...I'm sorry Hinata, Youemon doesn't know about the agreement reached between Hinata and the villagers a few days ago, but we, the Uchiha clan, sincerely hope to reduce the conflicts in the village and have no intention of sabotaging or intervening."

Rizheng twitched the corner of his mouth and his face looked a little better.

"Thank you, Zaemon-sama, for your understanding. The Hyuga clan will work hard to do their job well."

Hyuga Hyuga is the grandson of the current acting clan leader Hihara. He is 33 years old and in the prime of his life as a ninja. He is very strong and at least at the level of an elite jounin. He is currently one of the pillars of the Hyuga family. And his adoption

His nephew's name is Hinata Neji. Although he is a boy from a different family, he has a bright future and is highly favored by Hinata.

Nissei did not like Youemon, an extreme hawk, a typical fanatical war sect, whose arrogance and violence were everywhere revealed and disgusting.

Moreover, Nissei could see that his elder brother Zaemon was also a dove on the outside but a hawk on the inside. He put the interests of the family first in everything, and neither of these two could be trusted.

On the other hand, the leader of the Nohara clan, who is good at observing and listening, knows how to protect oneself wisely, is practical and can make deep friendships, and is an ally that the Hyuga clan can win over in the future if they want to further gain a foothold at the top.

The Kurama clan is weaker than the Nohara family, so they rely more on Uchiha. Only Uchiha's obedient behavior makes Nisheng look down on him. But Kurama Judou, a man with a very advanced illusion skills, his strength should not be underestimated. The most important thing is

Kurama now controls Konoha's intelligence department, and Hinata will have to deal with them sooner or later.

However, regardless of whether it is Kurama or Nohara, the Hyuga family should not have excessive contact in the short term, but only serve as a long-term wooing target in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that Hidashi has any bad intentions. On the contrary, the Hyuga clan is really on tenterhooks, fearing that Uchiha will go back on their previous agreement.

Hinata has long seen that the daughter of the clan is just a step up for the Hinata family given by Xia Nan. After all, if he really wants to control Hinata, he will not let Hanabi go. Internally, it is an explanation for the Uchiha family. After all, he is an Uchiha.

The leader of a clan.

Therefore, just one clan bloodline may not be able to maintain the living conditions of the Hyuga family. The Hyuga family must make great efforts to ensure the continuation of the family, and at the same time, it must win over the other two families to speak to Hinata. After all, is there anyone above who can speak for you?

It's like a sky and a place. The Hyuga family has followed the third generation for so many years and they can see this more clearly than anyone else.

Danzo is the best example.

Thinking of this, Ri Zheng couldn't help but turn his eyes to Xia Nan. He knew that the black-haired boy was the one who was really in charge. He was the one who could push Konoha to hell with his own hands, and he was also the culprit that caused all this. For Mu

For many people in Ye Village, hoping that he would die soon is the kindest idea.

However, Ri Zheng did not intend to join in with these people, because he had firmly remembered the words of his old master before coming.

"Rizheng, remember one thing after you go, that Uchiha brat's words are absolute orders. You don't need to doubt or understand as long as you execute them. You have to do your best to win his favor and trust, even if you become

Even if the executioner is spurned, you must resist it. Remember that you are the future head of Hinata's family. What you need to do is not to gain the understanding of the villagers who don't even have a future, but to get closeness and trust from a higher level."

"I understand...Master Riyuan."

These are some of the conversations between Hihara and Hidden at home on the night they sent Hinata away.
