Konoha: Uchiha's Magnificent Rebellion

Page 223

Yamanaka Kino's attitude represents the attitude of most of the Konoha ninja clans. Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the third Hokage, has been in charge of Konoha for decades; such a long time is enough for him to firmly control the entire Konoha and make his majesty deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

Therefore, even though many of Sarutobi Hiruzen's policies caused a lot of dissatisfaction, such as his weakness and constant compromises, no one dared to oppose him openly.

"Kino, I understand your point of view, but this is not a reason for us to sit idly by and do nothing.

The third generation is wrong, so someone must stand up and stop it."

Uchiha Yuan said.

"Lord Yuan, are you planning to..."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Kino immediately asked with concern.

"Yes, I intend to support the Hyuga clan; and I have already talked to the head of the Fugaku clan, and tomorrow I will support the Hyuga clan in the name of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Yuan said with a serious face.

"Master Yuan, did I hear you right?"

Qiu Daohai was shocked and stared at Uchiha Yuan with wide eyes.

Yamanaka Kino was also shocked and said, “Master Yuan, aren’t you being too impulsive? This may cause the anger of the village leaders.

Moreover, the village leaders are already wary of the Uchiha clan, and this will only exacerbate the village's dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan."

"Kino, I understand what you said; but you have to understand that there are some things that must be done.

Justice is never an empty word, but requires people with justice in their hearts to stand up and practice it. "

Uchiha Yuan said.

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, Yamanaka Kino couldn't help but show a look of shame on his face.

At this time, Yue Guang Liu Feng suddenly said, "Master Yuan, you asked us to meet here, what do you need us to do?"

“This is a confrontation between my Uchiha and the village, and you don’t need to do anything to avoid involving your clan.

I asked you to meet me so that you can convey a few words to your clan leader."

Uchiha Yuan said.

"Master Yuan, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely get it to you."

Qiu Daohai said while patting his chest.

Uchiha Yuan's expression became serious, and his sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone like needles.

"If the Third Hokage can force the Hyuuga to make sacrifices today, the other ninjas in the village can make sacrifices tomorrow."

As soon as Uchiha Yuan finished speaking, everyone's faces changed immediately, and then they all looked thoughtful.

"Everyone knows the delicate relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village. But it is precisely because of the existence of the Uchiha clan that the Hokage needs to win over the other ninja clans of Konoha.

And if the Uchiha clan is gone, what is happening to the Hyuga clan right now will be the future of the other ninja clans in the village."

Uchiha Yuan said.

The room fell silent again, and everyone frowned in thought.

After a while, Yamanaka Muye said seriously, "Master Yuan, I will definitely convey these words to Uncle Haiyi."

Moonlight Liufeng picked up the wine glass and toasted Uchiha Yuan, saying, "Master Yuan, I will convey your words; besides, I support you."

Sungai tribe.

After leaving the guard team, Hinata Jing hurried back. After learning that the family meeting had ended, he went to find Hinata Hizashi.

"Brother Jing."

Hyuga Neji was standing in an open space practicing his gentle fist. When he saw Hyuga Kagami walking towards him quickly, he called out to her.

"Ningji, is Master Hizashi back?"

Hinata Jing stopped and asked.

"Father has returned, but I feel like he seems to be worried. Brother Jing, has anything happened to the family?"

Because Hyuga Neji is young and has always been concentrating on training, he is not aware of the difficulties his family is facing.

However, he still felt the depressing and uneasy atmosphere hanging among his tribesmen.

"Ningji, it's okay."

Hinata Jing replied casually and then left quickly.

Looking at Hyuga Jing's leaving back, Hyuga Neji showed a look of worry on his little face, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Hizashi-sama."

Hinata Jing pushed open the door and saw Hinata Hizashi sitting alone in the room adjacent to the courtyard, looking up at the sky with a lonely look.

“It’s a mirror.”

Hinata Hizashi did not look back and remained motionless.

"Master Hiashi, can the elders come up with a plan?"

Hinata Jing came and sat down next to Hinata Hizashi and asked.

"We have already worked out a countermeasure."

Hinata Hizashi raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a smile, and then said lightly.

"I wonder what the solution is?"

Hinata Jing asked quickly.

The camera turned forward, and after a round of cursing against the Cloud Ninja and dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen, the conference room fell into silence.

Faced with the strong attitude shown by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the elders could not think of a solution at all.

They dared to express their dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen in private, but they did not dare to oppose him openly.

Finally, the head elder of the clan, Hyuga Tomonari, looked at Hyuga Hizashi and said, “As the clan leader, it is absolutely impossible for Hiashi to pay for the life of the Kumo Ninja who died in the clan land as required by the Kumo Ninja. That would be a shame for the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi, now is the time for the branch family to fulfill their responsibility and contribute to the main family."

"Dezong, what do you mean?"

An elder from the branch family asked.

"Hiashi and Hiashi are twin brothers. The Kumo-nin can't tell them apart."

It was obvious that Hyuga Tokunaga's words meant that he wanted Hyuga Hizashi to die instead of Hyuga Hiashi, to give the Cloud Ninja a satisfactory explanation.

"I agree with the Great Elder. Isn't the existence of the branch family just for this moment?"

An elder from the clan said.

Next, the elders of the main family expressed their agreement with Hyuga Tokunaga's words; while the elders of the branch family frowned and remained silent, with extremely ugly expressions.

From beginning to end, Hyuga Hiashi did not speak a word and did not even look at Hyuga Hizashi.

Finally, after the meeting to discuss countermeasures ended, it was decided that Hyuga Hizashi would die instead of Hyuga Hiashi.

Chapter 347 Reactions from all parties

"Hiashi-sama! The Sou family and the others want you to die."

After listening to Hinata Hizashi's account of the results of the family meeting, Hinata Jing said angrily.

"This is the fate of the separated family."

Hinata Hizashi said calmly.

“But I won’t give up!

"Master Hizashi, are you willing?"

Hinata Jing growled, his face becoming ferocious with anger.

As a member of a branch family, one can sacrifice for the family, but the main family should not take it for granted that they are consumables that can be discarded at will.

At this moment, Hyuga Jing once again deeply felt the powerlessness of being a member of the Hyuga branch and having no control over his own destiny.

Hinata Jing felt even more disgusted with the caged bird curse seal on his forehead.

The room fell into silence, with only the faint sound of the two people's breathing being heard.

After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hizashi smiled and said to Hyuga Kagami: "As a branch family, I am very unwilling; but as a younger brother, I am willing to make sacrifices for my brother.

Besides, I was the one who killed that Cloud Ninja."

"Hizashi-sama."

Hearing this, Hinata Jing was slightly startled, and then shouted with a complicated expression.

Then, Hinata Jing said anxiously: "Master Hizashi, perhaps there is still hope, and you don't have to make sacrifices."

"Mirror, what do you mean?"

Hinata Hizashi looked at the Hyuga Mirror in surprise.

"Hizashi-sama, I'm going to see Fuuchi. I just got back from the security team."

"Uchiha Yuan? Haha, I almost forgot that you have a close relationship with him.

But this is our Hyuga clan's business and has nothing to do with him, so he should have no reason to interfere.

And even if he intervened, what would happen? He probably couldn't change the decision of the third generation."

Hinata Hizashi smiled and shook his head.

"Hizashi-sama, Fuuji said that he has decided to represent the Uchiha clan in supporting us Hyuuga tomorrow."

Hinata Jing said.

"What!

Did he really say that?"

Hinata Hizashi's expression suddenly changed and he cried out in surprise.

Uchiha Yuan's statement of support alone has limited influence, it only shows the deep friendship between him and Hinata Jing.

But if he expressed support for the Hyuga clan on behalf of the Uchiha clan, it would definitely have a huge impact.

Sarutobi Hiruzen can force the Hinata, but he would never dare to force the Uchiha.

When he thought of this, Hinata Hizashi was shocked, and at the same time, he felt a sense of frustration.

Although the Hyuga clan considers itself a powerful family in the ninja world and has been competing secretly with the Uchiha clan; however, from the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen forced the Hyuga clan, it can be seen that in the eyes of Konoha's high-ranking officials, the strength of the Hyuga clan is far inferior to that of the Uchiha clan.

After being shocked, Hyuga Hiashi became suspicious again and asked, "Did Uchiha Yuan ever say why he was willing to support us Hyuga?"

“Yuan said that the shameless demands of the Kumo Ninja not only humiliated us Hyuga, but also insulted the security team.

The security team is responsible for Konoha's security and patrols, and is very aware of what happened last night."

Hinata Jing said.

"That is indeed a reason, but the Uchiha clan should have more considerations than that. I didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku would agree that Uchiha Yuan would represent the Uchiha clan."

After a pause, Hyuga Hizashi continued, "In recent years, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village has become increasingly intense. The Uchiha clan should be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to win over us, the Hyuga clan."

"Hiashi-sama, Fuuji said he wanted to meet with Hiashi-sama tonight."

Hinata Jing said.

Hinata Hizashi's brows relaxed slightly and he said, "No matter what, with Uchiha's intervention, perhaps the situation will really change.

Even if it does not contribute to the situation, it is enough to embarrass three generations.

I will go to see my brother immediately."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's harsh oppression made the Hyuga clan full of anger and resentment towards him.

On the other hand, after the guards learned that Uchiha Yuan would support the Hyuga clan in the name of the family, the news soon reached the ears of Uchiha Itachi.

As a double agent for the village and the Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi immediately went to the Hokage Building after learning the news.

"Itachi, your message came just in time. Thank you for your hard work."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a look of satisfaction as he looked at Uchiha Itachi who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"Sir, according to my inquiries, the support for the Hyuga was initiated by Uchiha Yuan.
