Konoha Village, in the garden of the Hyuga clan.
"What did you say? Hinata, a Kirigakure ninja attacked you?"
Hyuga Hiashi's face was gloomy and his voice contained anger.
This incident brought back his memories.
A few years ago, Cloud Shinobi Village came to Konoha to discuss peace, and a similar thing happened.
A man in black actually wanted to kidnap Hyūga Hinata under the cover of night.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time and shot and killed the opponent.
But when he lifted his mask, he was shocked to find that the man in black was a Cloud Shinobi Village ninja.
Therefore, Cloud Shinobi Village used an excuse to launch an attack and forced Konoha to hand over the murderer.
It's obvious that he is plotting against the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.
Originally, this matter was under Konoha's control and could be completely ignored.
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen actually accepted the unreasonable demands of Cloud Shinobi Village in order to avoid war and calm down the troubles.
But as the leader of the Hyuga clan, how could Hyuga Hiashi die so easily?
As a last resort, Hiashi's younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, could only be sacrificed to settle the matter.
This matter has always been a thorn in Hiashi's heart.
His own brother died for him, but there was nothing he could do.
It made him suffer internally and felt ashamed of Neji.
Unexpectedly, Kirigakure, the weakest among the five great ninja villages, would dare to take action this time.
It really made him angry!
"Yes, Father, it's fortunate that Sasuke-kun came to the rescue this time, otherwise, I would definitely fall into the hands of this Mist Shinobi Chūnin..."
When Hinata said this, she couldn't help but feel scared.
Although she is young, she is very aware of the cruelty of the ninja world.
Once you fall into the hands of a hostile ninja village, you may suffer some inhuman torture!
"Chief Hiashi, I will leave this Mist Ninja to you. Now that Hinata is safe, I will leave first."
Sasuke said from the side.
"Well, Sasuke, thanks to you for saving my daughter this time, I, the Hyuga clan, owe you a favor!"
Hiashi solemnly thanked him.
The corners of Sasuke's mouth raised slightly, his goal was achieved.
It was this promise that he was waiting for.
The Hyuga clan is powerful and is one of the best ninja clan in Konoha Village.
Their favor is of great value!
"Sasuke, you are able to capture Chūnin alive at such a young age. You are much better than I was back then."
"Haha, he is indeed a famous genius in Konoha."
"If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me. Of course I hope you can give Hinata some advice when you have time. She has many things to learn from you."
Hiashi looked at Sasuke carefully and praised him.
The more he looked at Sasuke, the more satisfied he became.
Not only is he outstanding in talent, he is also a talented person in appearance.
He also possesses a powerful Bloodline limit like Sharingan.
"If I could recruit him as my son-in-law..."
Hiashi's mind gradually became more active as he thought of this.
"Well, let's get Hinata and Sasuke closer together later."
In his eyes, Hanabi is a more suitable successor.
If Hinata can introduce the Uchiha bloodline, the Hyuga clan will undoubtedly become stronger.
"Sasuke, the matter is urgent. I need to report it to Master Hokage first, so I'll excuse you now!"
"By the way, this is a little bit of our Hyuga clan's wishes, please accept it."
Hiashi took out a thick envelope.
Sasuke nodded his thanks and reached out to take it.
After saying hello to Hinata, he quickly left Hyuga's house.
Soon, the Japanese rushed to the Hokage office building with several senior Hyuga executives.
…
Hokage office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face gradually became serious as he listened to Hiashi's report.
Asuma on the side also looked solemn.
"Hiashi, are you telling the truth?"
"Hokage-sama, it's absolutely true, that Kirigakure ninja is downstairs."
An elder of the Hyuga family spoke quickly.
"Lord Hokage, Kirigakure is simply audacious. Please bring justice to our Hyuga clan!"
"That's right, Hokage-sama, Kirigakure clearly wants to take away the Byakugan of our Hyuga clan. It's so abominable!"
Hyuga Hiashi and another elder spoke, their voices suddenly rising a little higher.
The ninja from outside the village attacked Hinata again and again and touched Hiashi's reverse scale.
If the Hyuga clan doesn't fight back, where will their face be?
What qualifications do they have to claim to be the strongest in Konoha?
"Hokage-sama, Kirigakure gained a Byakugan in the last ninja war. They tasted the benefits and coveted the Byakugan. If they don't stop it, I'm afraid..."
Sarutobi Asuma also spoke.
His meaning is obvious, Konoha Village cannot allow foreigners to bully them like this!
"Well, it's been such an eventful time."
"Hiashi, Asuma, the results of the interrogation have not come out yet, it is too early for you to draw conclusions."
"This Mist Shinobi ninja may not be officially sent by the Kingdom of Water."
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to speak.
"As far as I know, Kirigakure has implemented a closed policy since the last ninja war and has very little contact with the outside world. He should not do such a thing..."
"Of course, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation to the Hyuga family!"
Seeing the gloomy faces of everyone in Hyuga, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his tone and said.
"this…"
When everyone in Hyuga heard such a smooth answer, they felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.
Hiashi was extremely disappointed and said coldly:
"Hokage-sama, our Hyuga family has already made sacrifices for the Cloud Shinobi incident last time. No matter what, we will not give up this time!"
"If you cannot satisfy our Hyuga family, we will go to Kirigakure personally to seek justice!"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face changed slightly and he scolded:
"Hiashi, do you know what you are talking about? A large number of ninjas are invading other countries, which is an act of war!"
"You, the Hyuga clan, are trying to destroy the long-standing peace of Konoha!"
"Don't you understand how many casualties a ninja war will cause?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked a series of questions, leaving Hiashi stunned.
"Besides, if you think about it, Hinata was not harmed this time. If the private action turns into a war, the sacrifices of the Hyuga family will be much greater."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said earnestly, "Hiashi, as a Konoha Village Hokage, I naturally have to be cautious when considering things."
Listening to the Third Hokage's endless words, Hiashi's eyes gradually dimmed.
…
A dispute went nowhere.
Hiashi left the Hokage office with Hyuga and everyone disappointed.
war?
Peace?
What a noble topic!
Third Hokage seems to be looking out for the bigger picture.
But his approach completely disappointed Hiashi.
A crack appeared faintly in Hiashi's heart.
