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

No, no.

People with this kind of mentality are really ridiculous.

When the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, countless members of the Uzumaki clan fled, but even Kushina Uzumaki did not go to Konoha willingly; she was taken back to the village by Konoha ninjas who arrived at the scene.

There are some shady secrets hidden here.

Moreover, as Hijiri-kun just clearly stated, from this day forward, Rena Uzumaki and Karin will be under the protection of the Hyuga clan, not Konoha.

It seems that Mr. Richeng also knows some things that are unknown to others.

Hinata Himo never imagined that his simple act of doing a good deed would trigger such speculation in others.

However, even if they knew, they would say they didn't care.

After Reina Uzumaki's introduction, we can no longer treat Reina Uzumaki as a widow; she is Karin's aunt.

This differs from the original work, but that's okay; there are plenty of places in this world that differ greatly from the original.

In the original story, Fugaku's things are still there, and Sasuke can't activate his Byakugan, so it's not a big problem.

Speechless all the way.

In the end, Hyuga Hisei sent Orochimaru to the group that was transferring the clan members. From that day on, Orochimaru officially took office as the Orochimaru Chief. Before leaving, Orochimaru also told Hyuga Hisei about Ryuchi Cave and left behind a scroll that led directly there.

The atmosphere in the village was much quieter upon returning.

Kakashi did receive some information about his father, but he's still processing it.

However, when Hyuga Hiroshi brought Kakashi out, it wasn't just to ask Orochimaru about Hatake Sakumo; they were actually fishing.

Moreover, during the previous pursuit of the Akatsuki organization, he had clearly seen the man who had been lured into the trap.

But it seems like there's something wrong with his health.

Obito grumbled and cursed for a while before leaving without even coming over to greet Kakashi. He was somewhat disappointed, but there would be plenty of opportunities, so Chief Hijiri wasn't too disappointed.

He swaggered along, leading Rena Uzumaki, Karin, and Kakashi to the entrance of Konoha Village.

Since he's still a Konoha resident, it would be best to take them to get identification so that their existence would be legitimate from now on.

However, the identification process needs some explanation. He intends to incorporate them into the Hyuga clan, rather than as regular Konoha villagers.

But he clearly didn't know how impactful it would be for some people for Hyuga Hiroshi, given his status, to suddenly bring back a member of the Uzumaki clan.

When Shimura Danzo, a great hero of Konoha who was still reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, received the definite news, he rushed into the Hokage Building in a great hurry and kicked open the door to the Hokage's office.

Inside the office, two figures heard the noise and quickly separated like ghosts. Danzo looked over and found that Koharu Utatane was also in the room. Her wrinkled old face was flushed with an abnormal redness, and she straightened her clothes when she saw him come in.

Sarutobi, sitting in a chair, was furious and about to deliver a purebred slash when Danzo, who had regained his senses, preemptively struck!

"Hiruzen! He brought back a member of the Uzumaki clan!"

The atmosphere in the office changed abruptly as Danzo spoke urgently.

"Wait a minute, explain yourself clearly, what vortex?"

Having just finished a close battle, Sarutobi was still a bit dazed. He had been busy with his business and hadn't received the message from his trusted subordinates. He had been staring at Danzo for a while now.

"It was Hinata Himaru. He brought back a woman from the Uzumaki clan and a child."

Danzo's face was serious. He didn't even bother to glare at Koharu Utatane at this moment. He said that besides her dead husband, he was the only one left. That was all bullshit.

Biwako had only been dead for a short time, yet she was already getting together with Sarutobi. Who knows how loose her pants were?

"Is the news confirmed?"

Sarutobi frowned, habitually lit his pipe, and habitually questioned Danzo's information.

no way.

Danzo's previous plan almost led to the sacrifice of Konoha, so he simply couldn't fully trust his old comrade anymore.

Moreover, he is currently in a delicate situation and does not have the resources to turn against Hinata Himo.

Especially after the war, when he realized he really couldn't control the situation, his arrogance completely vanished. Now he's just a politician, having long lost his former boldness.

"What's there to confirm or not confirm? He's already brought his men back to the village!"

Danzo slammed his fist on the table in dissatisfaction, realizing that his old partner was somewhat out of his mind.

Yes.

This is what Tobirama-sensei once referred to as complementarity!

Now, it's his turn to turn the tide!

boom!

Danzo slammed his hand on the table again, this time with significantly more force, startling Koharu Utatane, who was standing next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, causing her to turn pale.

Sarutobi was instantly displeased upon seeing this, as if some kind of switch had been flipped and he wanted to reprimand Danzo, but his old friend put his face right in front of Sarutobi.

"If you still want to be the Hokage, wake up!"

Danzo's eyes blazed with urgent fire.

Perhaps it was the days when he had no power that made Danzo see some things clearly.

He also realized that what he seemed to rely on was only because he was tied to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. If someone else were to become Hokage, especially when the Third Hokage had completely lost his authority, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his high-ranking position!

Therefore, Danzo's limited capacity suddenly awakened considerably, allowing him to instantly assess the current situation and, unusually, become much smarter than Sarutobi.

Of course, this is also related to Sarutobi's loss of fighting spirit. After regaining his position in the original story, this ninja hero also lost his fighting spirit, chose to consolidate his position, and admitted that Konoha had become extremely weak under his leadership. This can be seen from what happened in Konoha when he returned to the position of Hokage.

Exposing Orochimaru's human experiments, reprimanding Hyuga and forcing Hizashi to his death, and annihilating the Uchiha clan—each and every one of these events reflects his transformation in mindset.

Right now, all he cares about is his position as Hokage!

Danzo clearly grasped this point!

"Hiruzen, look at the Hyuga clan now! Look at the trump cards under Hyuga Hiroshi's command!"

Meeting Sarutobi's increasingly serious gaze, Danzo realized the gravity of the problem.

"Tsunade, a direct descendant of the Senju clan and your disciple, is practically drooling over that man! If it weren't for the fact that he has a concubine, I believe she'd probably be surnamed Hyuga by now!"

This is the cornerstone of politics!

"The head of the Uchiha clan, that's someone he had a relationship with who entrusted his wife and children to! Fugaku Uchiha has long openly colluded with the Hyuga clan. On the surface, the two seem like brothers, but in reality, I have a strong feeling that he treats Fugaku Uchiha as a fearsome person who controls the Uchiha clan, a dog under his command!"

These are our left and right arms!

Danzo's words were fierce, and he spat directly into Sarutobi's face, but that wasn't the end of it.

"He even possesses a Tailed Beast! And he has publicly stated that it belongs to the Hyuga clan, not Konoha!"

We have strategic weapons now!

"And now, he's even brought back the Uzumaki clan! Let's see what he's going to do next!"

He even has the braking devices for strategic weapons!

His words left Sarutobi Todoroki completely bewildered.

When he came to his senses, he was drenched in sweat. The mountain called the Hyuga clan had completely crushed the heads of all the Konoha leaders!

"Don't forget, he's also one of the most popular double-eyed clowns in Konoha right now!"

This is fame!

Danzo didn't say anything about the next episode.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi himself knew this.

If Hyuga Hiroshi were to raise his voice now, it seems he would have no choice but to temporarily avoid the limelight and pass the Hokage position to the other party.

True.

This intelligence is actually all over the place, but they hadn't compiled it before, and now that they've summarized it, they feel quite powerless.

In fact, this is the first of the two paths that Hyuga Hiroki mentioned. Hyuga Hiroki has always been a person with plans. When he is sure that most of the people in the village can be saved, he will indeed take the first path. Whether it is supporting Tsunade to become Hokage or becoming Hokage himself, it is a natural thing.

He doesn't even need to worry about the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction. A series of backup plans are linked together, and whether or not to take the first path depends entirely on Konoha's own reaction.

Chief Richeng is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to see the true nature of this village. If it is worthwhile, Chief Richeng will take action directly. If it is not worthwhile, he will turn around and leave without hesitation, and before leaving, he will give a gift called Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

This opportunity was approaching as the war drew to a close, and he was curious to see how many members of his meritorious family would step forward to speak on his behalf.

Chief Richeng is very fair; his attitude is determined by the percentage of the population he receives.

The behemoth now known as Hyuga is beyond what can be dealt with privately. Unless a complete falling out and a full-scale civil war breaks out, the higher-ups have no chance of winning.

Hinata

After Danzo's reminder, Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.

He frowned and puffed heavily on his pipe, and soon the room was filled with a strange atmosphere. Xiaochun, who was in the next dormitory, looked dazed, but was filled with emotion.

That's it!

"But now Hyuga is not so easy to move."

After a long pause, a look of frustration flashed in Sarutobi's eyes.

He admitted that he knew the seriousness of the problem, but was somewhat at a loss.

He was not unaware of Hyuga's problems; in fact, during a previous meeting, Hyuga Hisei dared to send someone who wasn't the clan leader, showing him no respect whatsoever.

"Don't panic."

Danzo smiled coldly, "Now that I'm here, I naturally have a way to break this deadlock!"

He wants to offer a plan!

He wants to prove he's not just a genius!

He's not the kind of good-for-nothing who let the wolf into the house!

You're here again?!

Sarutobi was taken aback, looking at his old buddy with suspicion and uncertainty.

There was no way he could trust Danzo's plan; it was simply too overpowered!

"I know what you're thinking, but..."

Danzo looked displeased.
