The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Early the next morning, after washing and having breakfast, Hinata Feng arrived at the family training ground earlier than he remembered. Then, according to his usual level, he carefully controlled his strength and started hammering iron and wooden stakes in the deserted training ground.

About half an hour later, the other children of appropriate age in the family, the family-arranged rotating guiding ninjas, and several auxiliary Chunins finally arrived.

Everyone was a little surprised that Hinata Feng arrived early, but no one said much.

The instructor ninja first demonstrated the soft fist technique and explained the key points. Then he arranged for everyone to practice separately, and several Hyuga clan chunins were scattered to supervise and guide.

"The faces of these Chunins are a bit solemn, probably because of the matter of Hinata Hizashi," Hinata Feng secretly speculated in his heart. He remained expressionless and continued to attack the iron wooden stakes.

In terms of strength, Hinata Feng controlled it very well, and his performance was no different from before.

But in terms of emotions, he deliberately showed a mixture of anger, violence and repression, and practiced soft boxing with the momentum of treating the iron and wooden stakes as enemies.

At the same time, the main door of the Hokage's office, the symbol of the highest power in Konoha Ninja Village, was closed tightly, and even the protective barrier was activated. Neither the Byakugan nor the Transmutation could obtain information from this room.

The atmosphere in the office was solemn. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage's assistants Danzo Shimura, En Mito Kado, and Koharu Utane had been discussing the demands made by the Kumogakure Ninja behind closed doors for the past few days.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, puffing out smoke from his pipe. The smoke swirled in front of him, making his old face look gloomy.

Just recently, he thought that the long-awaited peace would finally come. After many communications between the Cloud Shinobi Village and Konoha, they agreed to end the confrontation and fighting with Konoha on the border that had lasted for more than two years, and took the initiative to send a peace negotiation team to Konoha to discuss the signing of a peace treaty.

In order to suppress the noise in the village caused by years of war, to deter the unstable Uchiha clan, and to express his sincerity in peace talks, he recalled about half of the border combat troops in batches after the Cloud Village proposed the intention of peace talks and the border was temporarily calmed.

Originally, these people were enough to defend a few key strongholds, but they were afraid that the Cloud Ninja barbarians would make a big move.

If we redeploy troops to the border now, it will directly intensify the conflict and stimulate the Cloud Ninja Village to launch a direct attack. If we do not mobilize the troops to the border, if the peace talks fail, the main force of the Cloud Ninja Village will still be near the border. Once an attack is launched, the border troops will be destroyed and a large area of ​​the Fire Nation's territory will be lost.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. How great it would be if Minato Namikaze was still alive. He could take the lead in this matter. His Flying Thunder God Technique was really useful in mobile support.

At this moment, the long silence was broken. Mitomon En couldn't help but speak, "We must make a quick decision. Koharu and I have discussed this with the Kumo Ninja several times, but they remain very tough and demand the surrender of Hinata Hiashi. They only have two days left for a final response. The situation is urgent!"

Shimura Danzo's face was gloomy, and his only remaining eye was filled with coldness. "The Kumo Ninja have forgotten how they trembled in fear before the Shodaime. Konoha cannot retreat. Hiruzen, assemble the troops. This time we must deal with them properly. It would be best if we could cripple or even annihilate them all at once."

I have to say that although he has a bad character and has done a lot of bad things, Danzo has never disappointed anyone in terms of his stubbornness and tough attitude.

Hearing this, Mitomonen and Utane Koharu exchanged a glance, reaching a tacit understanding before speaking, "After so many years of continuous warfare, Konoha no longer has sufficient reserve forces. We thought a complete truce had been reached, and everyone was relieved. The withdrawn troops have been disbanded, and now it's difficult for them to mentally adjust to regrouping."

"What's more, once the war breaks out, the border troops will definitely suffer heavy losses. To repel the attack of the Cloud Ninja army, we must recruit more ninjas, but there are not many ordinary ninjas in Konoha at present. As for the various families, the only ninjas that can be recruited, apart from the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, are..."

Although Mitomon En didn't say it out loud, everyone present knew that at present, only their few families in Konoha had not suffered too much loss and could mobilize enough troops.

But in this case, even if they repelled Yinren's attack, their families would basically be like the Senju clan, existing in name only.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes twitched, and he put down his pipe, his tone heavy, "Given Konoha's current situation, we can no longer afford a war. If we continue to fight with the Kumo Village, the other ninja villages will probably wait for an opportunity to strike."

Before Danzo could say anything, Utane Koharu beside him spoke up, "Besides the issue of manpower. Konoha's logistics are currently unable to support it. The continuous wars in recent years have basically consumed Konoha's material reserves. Without sufficient supplies, even if we recruit a team to go to war, I'm afraid the losses will be very high."

Shimura Danzo jabbed his cane so hard the floor vibrated. "Big clans like the Akimichi, Nara, and Aburame all have backup members. As for supplies, let these clans squeeze in and provide them themselves. The Kumo Village has been badly damaged by the fighting over the past few years. If we can cripple the Kumo Village once and for all this time, the other ninja villages will surely not dare to take action."

In fact, he was also thinking about squeezing more manpower and materials from these big clans and destroying the Cloud Ninjas in one go.

Of course, this kind of achievement is best accomplished under his own command, so that he can use his military exploits to force the weak Hiruzen to step down.

Then, under his wise leadership, Konoha eliminated other ninja villages and completely unified the ninja world. His reputation surpassed that of the first and second Hokage. Then, in front of the second Hokage's tombstone, he said to Hiruzen, "I am the most suitable person to be Hokage. Hiruzen, you are too weak..."

Before he could begin to imagine something more beautiful, Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded him, "Danzo, you're too radical. Have you considered the consequences of continuing this war? Konoha can't afford another round of siege!"

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu on the side immediately followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and began to persuade Shimura Danzo, firmly stating that the war could not continue. It doesn't matter if you have a brain seizure, but don't take away the brain of the entire Konoha.

Danzo was no match for the three mouthfuls, and his chest ached from the blockage. He could only say hatefully, "Huruzen, you are too weak," and then slammed the door and left.

After Danzo Shimura left, the atmosphere in the room instantly became much more harmonious. The main tone had been confirmed, and the only thing left was the method.

Soon, several people discussed and agreed that everyone would take turns to put pressure on the Hyuga clan, and finally Sarutobi Hiruzen would come forward and personally go to the Hyuga clan to talk, so that the light of the will of fire would shine more on the Hyuga clan.
