"No, those few Hyuga branch ninjas who reported the secret were not trusted by the Hyuga clan. At most, they knew that secret meetings occurred frequently, but they did not know the specific content of the secret meetings."
Fugaku's voice was kept very low, as if he didn't want the women to hear the current topic. After he finished speaking, he remained silent, with only a hint of irritability showing in his eyes.
Minato pondered for a long time, and inadvertently glanced at the teacher. Seeing that Lei Luo had turned his head away at some point to enjoy the beautiful view of the cherry blossoms, completely ignoring what they meant, he couldn't help but cough slightly and looked at Fugaku again.
"Genbu, do you have any comments?"
Fugaku also aimed at Lei Luo, but also received no response. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, the fundamental purpose of this visit with his wife was to deal with this problem.
But now that the fifth generation was present and the fourth generation made it clear that he was too lazy to pay attention, Fugaku had no choice but to rearrange his thoughts and words. Under Minato's questioning eyes, he slowed down and replied calmly:
"The basic idea is to mobilize troops to surround the Hyuga tribe, and use high-end combat forces to capture all the Hyuga senior officials with lightning speed, and then enter the interrogation process to avoid any unexpected situations."
"Isn't this... a bit too extreme?" Minato frowned and thought, as if talking to himself, or asking Fugaku, but Fugaku stopped here and began to look at his nose and heart.
No matter what happens to the Hyuga clan, whether it is rebellion or evil intentions, although on the surface it belongs to Konoha's internal affairs and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Hokage Namifeng Shuimen, it should not be under their control.
but……
The reason why Fugaku wanted to ask Railuo for instructions, and of course, Minato was asked for instructions now, was for two reasons: First, the Hyuga branch ninjas who reported the problem were looking for the root cause, and there was no way to avoid this kind of thing.
Second, all matters related to the internal security of the empire have the power to intervene at the root. Although Konoha has a special status, in the final analysis it is just a larger military region. It is essentially no different from the second village and the third village.
As the root leader, although he is ostensibly subordinate to the Fifth Generation, Fugaku is actually on the same level as Minato. If divided according to the government system, he has greater authority in certain matters than Minato.
For example, if Minato was not clean and committed crimes such as corruption and bribery, conspiracy to rebel, and gathering people to treason, and Lei Luo made it clear that he would not protect Minato, Fugaku would really dare to lead people to arrest him in accordance with the constitution.
However, Fugaku usually doesn't express this intentionally. He often refers to himself as a Konoha ninja to the outside world, as if he is basically a subordinate organization of Konoha, but this is actually extremely wrong.
Basically, they only follow the leadership of the Judicial Office or the Prime Minister.
According to Fugaku's thinking, the Fifth Generation Mu is supported by Rai Luo. If he is working in Konoha, he must consider the Hokage's opinion. Otherwise, if he changes to the Earth Province, the Wind Province, the Rain Province...
By now, the roots have already started.
"Otherwise, let's wait first..."
Seeing that Fugaku didn't answer, Minato simply took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts: "Leave aside whether the Hyuga clan is plotting to rebel or not, even if it is, we currently don't have sufficient evidence to use force rashly..."
"I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public."
Although Fugaku sneered at Minato's indecisiveness, he thought about it and considered it from the other side's point of view. After all, the Hyuga clan belonged to the Hokage's forces.
Minato would definitely not want to completely break up with Hinata unless necessary.
"The Godaime, I can understand your thoughts..." Fugaku raised his hand to press down, with a serious face, but his tone was very sincere: "But if you continue to make decisions, you will be subject to chaos. No matter whether the senior members of the Hyuga clan are guilty or not, arrest them first.
Already."
"If after interrogation, it is indeed our fault, then we will just compensate them later. Anyway, with the power of the root, the military region, and the village, Hinata has no room for resistance."
"Early action can also prevent the village from falling into chaos."
Fugaku's thinking is a typical central thinking. He only kills the wrong ones and ignores them, but ignores the position of the local leaders, that is, Minato, so the two sides are destined to be unable to reach an agreement.
"I still prefer...monitoring and communicating rather than taking action."
Minato shook his head slowly. Seeing this, Fugaku's expression returned to calm. He stopped trying to persuade or refute, after all, the Yondaime was still sitting next to him.
Since the fourth generation didn't say anything or support him, then he...
In terms of emotion and reason, we should also give the Five Dynasties some face.
Minato breathed a sigh of relief, turned his eyes, and found that Lei Luo was still admiring the cherry blossoms leisurely, and even lit a cigarette. He hesitated for a moment, and explained hesitantly:
"Teacher, I plan to send sentient ninjas to monitor the Hyuga clan and try to avoid intensifying conflicts between the two parties. At the same time, I will talk to the Hyuga and Hibiscus. Do you think this is okay?"
After listening to Minato and Fugaku's argument from beginning to end, Lei Luo had no idea in his mind. He turned around and nodded to Minato, indicating that he had no opinion.
"Minato, you are the Godaime, and you have the final say in the village now."
"It's okay to talk, but there's something I want to remind you..."
Slowly blowing out the smoke ring, Lei Luo calmly shifted his gaze, hinting Minato to look at Fugaku, and then added:
"No matter what you want to discuss with Hinata Hiashi, you have to consider the impact."
"The peaceful evolution plan is a national policy. If you don't respond to it, you are not eligible to receive any political benefits. Otherwise, it would be unfair to all other ninja clans."
"Especially, some ninjas who have shed blood for this."
After Lei Luo Furui Muha's words fell, Minato suddenly felt a headache, and Fugaku looked at Lei Luo gratefully.
Yes, so many people in the Uchiha clan died before they truly entered the core of power in the Fire Country. Why should Hinata get something for nothing?
Do you really think that noisy children can get candy? It’s a daydream!
If you really dare to launch a rebellion, just do it...
Nebu, Uchiha, and all the great ninja clan of Konoha will teach Hinata how to behave.
'Oh... let's take it one step at a time.'
Minato thought so, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. The teacher handed him an unprecedentedly powerful Konoha, but he also left many thorny problems, which were really exhausting to deal with.
The Hyuga clan... with Minato's character and philosophy, they are not willing to go to the point where they are in trouble with their own people, but the development of the situation is often not as expected.
The crux of the problem, in the final analysis, lies in Hinata's backward thinking and in Hinata's envy of the political benefits gained by other ninjas. This dissatisfaction and resentment derived from jealousy seems to be turning into violence at present.
But Minato had no choice. He couldn't even take a step back and give Hinata some benefits. Otherwise, let alone how other ninjas would react, let's talk about Fugaku, Uzumaki Makoto, Shikaku and others...
