The day went by,
I woke up in the middle of the day the next day.
"Neji-chan, good afternoon. Or is it good morning to you? Quick breakfast, then meet your father in his study room. So that you can explain why the Kumo delegation could be here and in a battered state at the Sandaime."
"Okay, okaa-san~!"
"Neji, have you finished breakfast? Let's get ready. We're going to the main residence." My father, who had finished his preparations, took me to the dining room.
"Okay, dad!"
---------------------
When I just arrived, Hinata came over to me.
"Neji-niisan, thank you for yesterday. I don't know why I was so sleepy when that ugly uncle came." Hinata bowed slightly.
Wow, now she looks like a princess.
Was that nasty man also skilled in genjutsu?

My footsteps echoed in the hallway of the Hyuga family's primary residence. Dad and I parted ways in the lobby. He said he had to retrieve some notes he had left in his room.
Senile dementia had taken root in his head.
I was just turning to enter the meeting room.
I heard the clanging of metal. A quite loud and slow tempo sounded again.
I turned My head toward the direction of the sound!
Suddenly a long metal rod shot towards me, my body swayed, and the metal passed through and stuck to the wall behind me.
I looked at the thing that tried to attack. It shook violently, trying to free itself from where it was stuck. Without warning, the thing again attacked me aggressively. I desperately tried to dodge the damn thing, but it kept hovering and hitting me.
I pulled the kunai from my shirt pocket. I coated the kunai with my chakra, and a turquoise light shrouded my kunai.
The damn metal spun back at me. With just one slash, it was thrown and fell. Now the shape of the object is visible.
A rod.
The rod circled slowly across the floor before stopping. Then due to something inexplicable, it floated back at an absurd speed.
In just an instant, it slid towards me once again. Unfortunately, this time it won't work. As if stopped by something invisible, it stopped about 1 CM away from me. I exhaled as the chakra covering my kunai disappeared. The kunai turned back into a worn iron rod as if I never gave up.
"That's not the right way to greet anyone, Hokage-Sama!"
Another pervert appears. His body wasn't skinny, nor was he stout. His back was against the wall while smoking his favorite cigar. His gray hair was cut short. A man in a robe that everyone in Konoha would recognize hiding in the corner of the room.
His hands were wide open. The wand that had struck me earlier swirled slowly beside me. With just a movement of the hand, the stick that had attacked me suddenly turned into an ape the size of a grown man.
"Hiruzen, I will be back!"
Bum white smoke appeared, and the monkey disappeared somewhere.
"Pretty good, Haisi said. You are indeed very skilled."
Damn, he had a point. I don't want when I wake up suddenly I'm in the root base.
I never wanted anything to do with Danzo.
This person is indeed loyal to Konoha. But his methods are extreme and cruel.
"Let's go to the meeting room, don't forget to tell me what happened last night," he said with a satisfied smile.
***
Meeting Room, the Hyuuga Clan Main Residence.
The meeting suspends for a few minutes. It was because Saratobi Hiruzen intercepted me in the lobby. The third Hokage arrived, and the meeting finally started. The meeting started with a simple conversation, then continued to a rather heavy topic.
My gaze roamed around the room, only to find the Clan elders and members of the Konoha council sinking into their respective silences. Wrinkles are all over their foreheads.
I'll bet it's because they were debating what to do with the Kumo delegation.
"Well, now I want to hear what you and the elders think about this incident?" Hiruzen's words brought the parents with frowns on their foreheads to the reality they had to face.
"We should return the Kumo delegation. We have just signed a peace treaty. I don't want the war to happen again after the official agreement is signed. War does not bring any advantage." an elder slowly said.
"I think we should detain this Kumo delegation. After that, we collect incriminating evidence. Then we can demand some valuable things as ransom from the Kumo." An elder with pink hair responded he's from the Haruno Clan?
"What's the use of holding this person back? We must punish him and sue Kumo for their delegation action. Despicably tried to kidnap a main descendant of the Konoha noble Clan. Even if we have to war." An elder with Byakugan eyes spoke with an annoyed face.
Several other council members began to speak. Some people have started to get ignited. Even one of our Clan elders present had stood up and desperately requested that the Kumo delegates be handed over to the Hyuga Clan and severely punished.
Chaotic meeting atmosphere.
"Calm down!!"
Hiruzen's deep and authoritative voice resounded in the meeting room. His face still looks calm, but I can feel that this pervert is starting to feel uncomfortable with the noise the elders make.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice.
A man wearing an oversized robe, Sandaime Hokage. The rest of the council members were also silent.
"I understand your opinion. We do have to handle this with care. We just signed a peace treaty with Kumogakure. But they tried to kidnap one of Konoha's citizens. They did it for their greed to obtain the Byakugan. We must not be able to kill their delegates rashly. We need solid evidence to convict their delegates." Hiruzen sucked on his cigar and let out smoke from his mouth. "But we can't go easy on them either. They betrayed their proposed agreement. We must sue them firmly regarding this matter. Let's see what evidence the intelligence division has."
