As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

"It was Mabui, the black-haired girl who was Raikage's secretary at the time, who spoke calmly."

"What a pity about Minato Namikaze."

The Fourth Raikage remarked with emotion.

Inheriting his father's powerful physique and mastering the Layton Chakra Mode to an unparalleled degree, there are few people in the entire ninja world who command the respect of A, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is definitely one of them.

Those who can defeat the AB duo head-on deserve this respect.

"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

As Raikage's secretary, Mabui's duty is to search for information about the enemy.

But after frowning and thinking for a long time, she couldn't seem to find any scenes of Hiruzen Sarutobi being active on the battlefield in her database.

At its earliest, it seems that we can only trace back to his achievements as a bodyguard for the Second Hokage, when he accompanied the Second Hokage to the Land of Lightning for negotiations.

But are you sure whether it was the Second Hokage protecting him, or him protecting the Second Hokage?

This problem had troubled her for a long time during the Third Shinobi World War.

Not just her.

Even the Raikage was somewhat puzzled as to how Hiruzen Sarutobi became the village chief.

How did that guy gain the respect of the crowd?

Those who roam the battlefield would probably have their own questions.

"Based on experience, the Third Hokage is not used to going to the battlefield. He is better at commanding from the rear. It is estimated that he will not go to the front line this time. With the Sannin of Konoha away from the village, there is almost no one who can stop you and Killer Bee."

Mabuyi analyzed calmly.

"Then there's even less need to worry."

The Raikage made the decision immediately; you can always trust the Third Hokage's organizational skills!

That's the kind of man who can force himself to abdicate!

When this information was sent back, the entire Hidden Cloud Village was extremely shocked.

When would someone be forced to this point?

What's even more outrageous is that if that man had appeared on one of the battlefields and taken the lead to inspire his own ninjas, he wouldn't have received this treatment, right?

A village head who has fallen to this level is better off committing seppuku.

"Lord Raikage, although Konoha is extremely weak, we still need to pay special attention to the Hyuga clan, who fought against our intelligence team before."

Mabuyi offered a reminder.

"It doesn't matter, I've thought about this before."

Ai Wengsheng, with his rough but meticulous manner, said.

"Based on the information about the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, any of our tactical arrangements will be greatly reduced, and we will be unable to launch a flanking attack."

"So this time, we're competing with Konoha in terms of raw strength!"

The Fourth Raikage stood up, his eyes filled with absolute confidence.

"I will show the ninja world who the true number one ninja village is!"

He wants to crush Konoha head-on!

Destroy that mountain that's pressing down on Kumogakure!

His father could fight against ten thousand men for three days, so he might not be any less impressive than his father.

At this moment, Raikage's ambition soared.

Set a small goal!

"Within ten days, I will drink a celebratory toast in Konoha!"

Requesting a monthly pass... It's the end of the month, so I'll give a shout-out to any passing big shot!

Chapter 19 Internal Meetings.

The ninja world is in turmoil.

Konoha, unaware of the impending war, is still in a state of disarray and in need of rebuilding.

Regardless of the old village chief's domestic affairs abilities, at least when it comes to doing superficial work and gaining prestige, he is a true master.

His words of reassurance not only mitigated the impact of his previous series of defeats in leading Konoha, but also won over many hearts and minds of the people.

Although Konoha still feels some of the pain of the disaster, it has already shown signs of recovery, and the people have become noticeably stronger.

However, if you look closely, you'll find that the so-called strength is just a thin veil of shame.

Tearing off this mask of hypocrisy and revealing the feigned strength often only requires a casual conversation after a meal.

"Can monkey odor really cause hallucinations in tailed beasts? Is that true?!"

"Of course it's true. You've never teamed up with members of the Sarutobi clan. It's just hard to describe what it's like."

"What's so hard to describe? I was fortunate enough to go on a mission with Sarutobi Shinnosuke-sama. In short, after coming back, even eating stinky tofu with fermented bean curd and canned herring didn't taste good."

"You've got a real appetite, kid!"

"Speaking of which, if we are like this, then Lord Biwako, who has shared a bed with the three generations of lords for many years, must have developed a deep-seated ape odor, right?"

"That's to be expected. After all, they are the Sarutobi clan, not to be underestimated. Moreover, I've heard that their clan uses that move as their trump card. In battle, they first grab the opponent's head and then tuck it under their armpit. Few in the ninja world can withstand this move."

"Sigh, this kind of technique is nothing new in the ninja world; it's all about utilizing one's own strengths."

"That makes sense. The main issue is that I heard that when the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki gave birth, it was Lady Biwako who delivered the baby? Could it be..."

"Holy crap?! That's incredibly audacious! Criticizing village affairs is punishable by death!"

"Hey, I was just saying it offhand. We were just bragging. Bragging isn't illegal. Let's eat."

"."

A few words exchanged during a meal might not attract much attention from others.

but.

"The beginning of a rumor is the beginning of a lie."

"Truth and falsehood are intertwined. When people find it unreasonable that the Nine-Tails' hallucination-inducing properties are not credible, they will seek the truth for themselves. At that time, kind-hearted people will remind them of Lord Orochimaru's deeds, and everything will fall into place naturally."

The Hyuga clan's ancestral home.

Hinata Hisei lay on his side on a recliner, with Hinata Kura massaging his calves beside him. In front of him, Hinata Ushima, Hinata Hizashi, and Hinata Hiashi were listening to the clan leader's teachings, which could be considered an internal meeting.

He didn't keep his collaboration with Fugaku a complete secret from his subordinates.

Only through experience can one grow. The task he assigned to the group was to cooperate well with Brother Fugaku so that he wouldn't be left isolated and helpless.

"Of course, when the rumors reach a certain level, they will naturally be taken seriously by the old village chief."

With a casual gesture, several masks appeared.

The patterns on top are even more eerie and sinister than those in the darker areas.

"You can take a stroll around the roots then."

In Hinata Hiromasa's script, Danzo is clearly of paramount importance; he must do his job well and take the blame for what he's supposed to do.

"Clan leader, you don't seem to have much faith in the clan's future in Konoha?"

After processing his task, Hiashi Hyuga's expression was slightly complicated.

He had a premonition that, following the clan leader's instructions, the Hyuga clan and the Konoha leadership would eventually become estranged.

This is not hard to see.

After all, the clan leader's actions were tantamount to openly siding with the Uchiha.

If he were the head of the Hyuga clan, he would never dare to do such a thing. He would choose to stand by and watch, or even take advantage of the Uchiha's misfortune when they were being suppressed.

That would make sense for the rivals between the main characters of "The Legend of the Glasses".

"Fine, you'll find out sooner or later anyway. I do intend to lead my clan away from Konoha, and I've even found a place for us to stay temporarily after we leave."

Hinata Himaru thought for a moment, then nodded rather straightforwardly.

His use of the word "temporary" was also after careful consideration.

The moon is nice, but using it as an ancestral home is rather petty. Combined with the twisted thinking of the Otsutsuki clan, it's easy for Chief Nichisei to wonder if they've been influenced by the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, causing them to become strange.

Add to that the small space, and it's basically a large cage. Being confined there for too long isn't conducive to development.

In conclusion, Hyuga Hinata plans to use the moon as a training ground, a sacred place for his clansmen to hone their skills. After all, Hamura left behind the Byakugan legacy there. By combining the lost legacy with Hyuga Hinata's enlightenment, he is confident that he can transform the Hyuga clan once again in a short time.

The Hyuga clan is very strong now, with Hijiri's guidance, their combat power is already higher than that of ordinary clans in the ninja world, but this is not enough to support their dominance. A period of consolidation is necessary.

The Hamura lineage includes the Golden Wheel Rebirth Eye and the Living Byakugan Purifier; there are many ways to become stronger.

We are just waiting for the right time.

Nichijo himself was confident that he was invincible in the ninja world and could calmly face all kinds of powerful opponents.

In any case, he won't let his clansmen follow the same path as Hamura. Sooner or later, he will find a suitable springboard to lead the Hyuga clan to rule the world again.

"This"

Hinata Hiroshi's words stunned the two brothers, who exchanged a puzzled look.

"Uh, that Cheng-ge."

Hyuga Hizashi scratched his head and cautiously looked at Himo.

"Cooperating with the Senju clan and joining Konoha together was the decision of our ancestor."

He put it very tactfully.

But Hinata Himeko still understood what he meant.

The clan chief smiled and nodded naturally.

"Therefore, I made a decision that goes against the wishes of my ancestors!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang, who was massaging him from the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
