The members of the Hyuga branch watched as the Hokage of Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi, entered the mansion of the Hyuga clan leader.
The members of the Hyuga branch who turned to Hyuga Neji quickly informed Hyuga Takashi and Tai Erye that they suspected that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to join forces with the head of the Hyuga clan to impose sanctions on Hyuga Neji and use the caged bird.
Because no matter how you look at it, these rebellious branch families, especially Hyuga Neji, are unforgivable existences in the clan.
It's better not to know. If they knew, I'm afraid they wouldn't be stingy about using a caged bird to kill Master Neji.
This group of people from the Zong family...they have already seen through it.
"Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen must have worked together to deal with Master Neji." On the spot, Shimura Danzo directly took the blame.
But the fact is that Shimura Danzo was seriously injured last night and is currently being treated at the root base. He has not yet thought of any way to deal with Hyuga Neji.
"Damn it, we shouldn't have let Danzo Shimura go back yesterday, we should have just killed him in the forest." A member of the Hyuga branch said viciously.
"Stop talking, that's Master Ningci's order." The rational branch owner flashed his wise eyes, "It's not yet certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi came to see Hinata and Hinata to use the caged bird to deal with Master Neji.
"
"Everyone contact your relatives to inquire. Remember, keep it secret and don't expose it." A member of the Hyuga branch family came up with countermeasures that should be taken.
"I believe that the caged bird can't do anything to Master Neji. Instead, we should pay attention to protecting ourselves and preventing the clan from knowing about us." Hyuga Takashi said with a serious face.
"That's right. After watching Master Ningji's battle last night, the caged bird should be unable to do anything to Master Ningci. Master Ningci has not yet been able to take out his hand to solve the caged bird on our foreheads, so we should hide among the Hyuga clan.
Okay, don't cause trouble for Master Ningci, and wait for the day when Master Ningci solves all the problems." Master Tai Er took a puff of cigarette and said with squinted eyes.
"To protect yourself first, don't hold such frightened gatherings in the future. Dismiss the meeting!" Hyuga Takashi shouted in a low voice. Many members of the Hyuga branch left from all directions as if nothing had happened. They met the members of the Hyuga family and talked about what they were talking about.
It’s all about today’s vegetable prices, family matters, and the weeds that have grown all over the field recently and need to be weeded, etc.
The Hyuga clan clan, in the patriarch's mansion.
Hinata Hinata's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, in line with the etiquette of a famous wealthy family. He invited Sarutobi Hiruzen to take a seat. After performing a series of complicated tea ceremonies, he invited Sarutobi Hiruzen to drink tea and asked calmly:
"The Hokage-sama's visit to the Hyuga clan is very refreshing. I wonder what the Hokage-sama means by coming here?"
After practicing impeccable etiquette, Hinata asked calmly.
As for any family in Konoha, the older they are, the more they have some opinions on Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Fortunately, the young Hiruzen Sarutobi relied on his own strength to win the title of Ninjutsu Doctor despite the disapproval of most families, and secured his position as Hokage, even though he had the Senju Hashira, the first Hokage.
Despite the support of his wife Senju Mito, he is undoubtedly qualified to become Hokage. Many families can be regarded as admitting that Sarutobi Hiruzen has stood firm as Hokage.
But as time passed, and the longer he sat in the position of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen did stupid things one after another. What he did was not for the collective interests of all the family ninjas, but for his own sake.
In the position of Hokage, many operations were performed that made the ninjas of the family somewhat resentful.
??????55.??????
For example, Shimura Danzo was allowed to slander Hatake Sakumo of the Hatake family and forced Hatake Sakumo to commit suicide. The matter was done very secretly, but no one was a fool.
As a captain, Hatake Sakumo once infiltrated into the enemy camp to perform a secret mission and was forced to make a dilemma: carry out the mission or save his companions.
According to regulations, it is strictly forbidden to abandon the mission, but he gave up the mission to save the lives of his companions. His companions in the village blamed him for the losses suffered by the village. In the end, even the companions he rescued began to blame him. Hatake Sakumo was physically and mentally harmed.
, finally chose to stick to his own will, and also wanted to let Konoha see the true will of fire and commit suicide.
Of course, in the end, no one understood or saw the true meaning of his suicide.
He allowed the rumors and allowed the companions he rescued to start blaming Hatake Sakumo.
There is no bottom line in attacking Hatake Sakumo's reputation.
Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen did not come forward at that time. Rumors that Hatake Sakumo gave up and caused losses to the village have been circulating among the ninjas, which even caused the rescued to rebuke the rescuers. Many people who saw through it did not believe Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen.
I don't know.
The most likely possibility is that Naruto, Sarutobi and Hiruzen pretended not to know what Danzo Shimura did.
Because at that time, Sakumo Hatake's reputation was enough to become the new Hokage, and the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not want to abdicate. As a result, Sakumo Hatake's reputation was suppressed this time.
But they didn't expect that Hatake Sakumo was so determined and determined to die as a martyr.
Even the Sannin couldn't stand the many dirty deeds of his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, the betrayal of Orochimaru, Tsunade leaving the village, and Jiraiya traveling in the name of looking for the Child of Destiny and rarely returning to the village.
Just looking at how the Sarutobi family, the Mitomon family, the Tenden family have grown and collected funds over the years, and how Shimura Danzo has established a new root, nothing can be withheld from investigation.
All in all, after Minato Namikaze became the Hokage, all the ninjas in Konoha breathed a sigh of relief. The abdication of Hiruzen Sarutobi brought new life to Konoha Village.
But what all the ninja families did not expect was that in just one year, the Fourth Hokage would die while sealing the Nine Tails.
If the Fifth Hokage was immediately elected because of the death of the Fourth Hokage, then the family ninjas would not have such a big opinion.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi came to power again. Hiruzen Sarutobi's rise to power again was the worst case scenario. From now on, there would only be an old man left who only wanted to consolidate his power position and was greedy for power.
In order to beat the Hyuga clan, they kept silent and asked the Hyuga clan to pay for the leader of the Hyuga branch, Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of the clan leader Hyuga Hizashi.
The Kumo ninja surrendered, but Konoha lost face. Not only did they not ask for compensation, but when signing the peace agreement, the Hyuga clan was asked to pay for the body of a Hyuga branch jounin.
Peace came under such circumstances, leaving all the clan ninjas in silence.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi came back to power after the death of the Fourth Hokage, it was a period when Konoha Village was at its most depressed and silent, and all the family ninjas were most miserable.
Because these family ninjas know that this sword may be their turn.
as expected.
Then, Shimura Danzo of the Roots asked some of the family's elite ninjas to join the Roots and serve, which silenced all the family ninjas.
Faced with such a Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hinata Hizu even invited him to tea, which was already very polite.
