Hyuga Hiashi sluggish looking Natsuhiko and being held by him The handling in his arms, and glanced at the Hidden Cloud who had completely fallen to the ground.

He now feels a little confused in his brain, because he didn't see clearly what happened in the split second just now!
He only saw that Hidden Cloud's ninja sword raised the kunai in his hand, and then prepared to stab the unconscious Hinata in his arms.

And in this brief moment, Natsuhiko's eyes suddenly appeared blue, and the blue like a streamer made Hyuga Hiashi tremble in his heart.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that those eyes were really familiar, and those eyes seemed to have been recorded in the oldest records of clan.

His memory is very good, he remembers reading this record accidentally when he was a child.

The reason why he was impressed was because the records stated that these eyes were blue like a streamer, and they had the power to destroy the world!

When he was young, he completely regarded it as an anecdote, but why does such a pair of eyes that are so similar to the description actually appear in this world?
"Child is fine, Lord Hiashi." Natsuhiko didn't know what Hyuga Hiashi was thinking, he hugged Hinata and walked to Hyuga Hiashi's side.

"Oh oh!" Hyuga Hiashi recovered in a while, he was busy with the result of Hinata, and kept repeating: "It's okay, it's okay."

He said so, only when his eyes looked towards the terrifying of Hyuga Hiashi's gloomy complexion as his eyes looked towards Hidden Cloud, who fell to the ground, aura utterly absent.

He doesn't blame Natsuhiko for killing this guy, he hates this guy for plotting against them Hyuga Clan!
What's more deadly is that such a plot against is the most powerless thing, even though he is familiar with it.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the distance.

This noise is very harsh in the quiet village at night.

Hyuga Hiashi moved towards the direction where the noise came from. His eyes had already shown the Byakugan open state, and his face was also very ugly.

"If you guessed correctly, those from the Hidden Cloud mission." Natsuhiko glanced at Hyuga Hiashi in the distance, smiling.

"Yes." Hyuga Hiashi was nodded, he really felt his head now.

Because of his big head, he didn't even seem interested in asking about the changes in Natsuhiko's eyes.

This time is really bad, Natsuhiko has made it so clear before.

Hyuga Hiashi can only imagine how difficult their situation is now.

Especially those Hidden Cloud ninjas have also moved towards this side, I am afraid Sarutobi Hiruzen will also get news, no matter how you look at it, there will be no peace tonight.

According to what Natsuhiko said before, no matter how you look at Hyuga and Konoha, this time doesn't necessarily have a good outcome.

It's not that he blindly believed what Natsuhiko said, but what Natsuhiko said was definitely thoroughly analyzed.

Anbu's work always needs to be cautious, and Natsuhiko said such words, I am afraid that whether it is the process of the event or the character of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is fully considered.

And Hyuga Hiashi thought about the direction of the matter himself, and he found that it was not much different from what Natsuhiko said.

The current situation of Konoha, the current situation of Hidden Cloud, and the current control of Konoha by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and some of his policies and so on.

The combination of these circumstances gave Hyuga Hizashi an answer that made him desperate.

"Third Hokage wouldn't choose to go to war, would he?" quite a long time, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly asked bitterly.

Natsuhiko looked back at Hyuga Hiashi with a smile, and then lightly nodded: "I'm afraid yes, after all, both Anbu's report and the so-called newspaper said a long time ago that Hidden Cloud is in Land of Hot Water keeps training, but Konoha's reaction is not that optimistic."

Konoha's reaction was more than a downbeat, even if Konoha did react a little bit.

But Konoha's troops were only stationed on the border-line and did not enter the Land of Hot Water.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude has been expressed here, that is, he does not want to have a one step further conflict with Hidden Cloud.

He was so passive even in simple confrontation. Imagine a missionary Shintou who just signed an armistice agreement with Konoha suddenly died in Konoha.

In such a situation, what should Sarutobi Hiruzen do? Is it a major event to maintain the truce, or choose to stand behind the interests and maintain Hyuga Clan?
Helpless sighed, Hyuga Hiashi felt that this simply does not need to be considered too much.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's current character and the current situation of Konoha, Hyuga Clan may be forced to make sacrifices.

"Isn't Hiashi sama already the answer?" Natsuhiko smiled looking Hyuga Hiashi, this question is stupid but very realistic.

Anyone has the desire to survive, whether it is for clan or for himself, Hyuga Hiashi is not willing to surrender obediently, even if he really has no ability to resist.

What's more, Natsuhiko knew that what he had to do helped him in some sense. As for how to help him, it all depended on their own performance.

Natsuhiko is not a philanthropist. He always has his own purpose in doing things. He has already thought clearly about the pros and cons of helping Hyuga.

Hyuga Hiashi will not die, there is no doubt about this, so the person who dies must still be the unlucky Hyuga Hizashi.

To be honest, the death of Hyuga Hizashi was actually a good thing to some extent, because his death could stimulate the emotions of the Konoha people one step further.

At this time, Natsuhiko wants to use war to solve the problem, and at the same time let the newspaper cooperate with the concept of 'hatred', which will inevitably make Konoha boil.

It's just that, Hyuga Clan's stand-up horror isn't as thorough and firm.

After all, Hyuga Hiashi is not stupid, he can definitely see that Natsuhiko is using Hyuga Hizashi's death to make trouble, especially when Natsuhiko doesn't need this thing to make a wedding dress.

Of course, the fact that his fight is not thorough and firm does not mean that he will fall to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.

They are smart people after all, they just choose to help the winner.

"If they had found me earlier and had some ideas, then things would have been different."

Natsuhiko muttered silently, then he turned to Hyuga Hiashi Nod and left here.

The stage has been preliminarily set up, and now it's time to watch their respective performances
"These damned guys!"

Inside Hokage's Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen fiercely confronts His own table hammered down.

His face is ashen now, he knows that these Hidden Clouds must have impure purposes, but he really can't give up easily with peace in sight.

What just makes him extremely angry is that his tolerance and tolerance, his choice for peace, is so not worth mentioning in the eyes of others!
Nara Shikaku stood aside looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he could not help but sigh softly.

Although because of Yamanaka Inoichi, he also has a lot of resentment for the Third Hokage in front of him.

But obviously, he also knows that it's not about the individual clan anymore, it's about the whole Konoha.

Nara Shikaku has already guessed what the guys at Hidden Cloud Village are thinking, and he knows that Hidden Cloud is probably trying to force Konoha into war now!

It's not a very good signal no matter how you look at it.

Once Konoha and Hidden Cloud fight, Konoha, who suffers a little in high-end power, is really hard to resist and deal with these guys.

Just when Nara Shikaku was feeling a headache too, Sarutobi Hiruzen had calmed down his anger.

After his eyes glanced at everyone present, he suddenly asked suspiciously: "Where is Senju Natsuhiko, and Hyuga Clan, why didn't he come?"

" Minister Natsuhiko is instructing Anbu to investigate the spy in the village."

Nara Shikaku said helplessly, excluding Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura from the entire office, and his position is the highest.

“Minister Natsuhiko said tonight was unusual and the purpose of Hidden Cloud was not ordinary, he was preparing for what might happen in the future.

And Hiashi Clan Leader He needs to appease the emotions of within clan, and those ninjas of the Hidden Cloud mission."

Here, Nara Shikaku himself can't talk anymore, because the ninja of the Hidden Cloud mission is directly ignoring Blocked into the Hyuga Clan's Clan Land!
This not only fiercely gave Hyuga Clan slap, but also made the slap fall on Konoha's face.

It is completely conceivable how arrogant those Cloud Ninjas are at this time, and how angry Hyuga Hiashi is now.

But Nara Shikaku kept his mind, Hyuga Hiashi didn't come, probably waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to make a statement.

Although Shikaku not quite clear when did Hiashi become so sharp, this Hidden Cloud mission's ninja dies at his house and is likely to cause endless trouble for his clan and even himself .

The most likely occurrence, with a high probability, is to kill for life.

And that guy deliberately died in Hyuga Clan, so is it understandable that this guy actually used Hyuga Clan as a springboard to intimidate Konoha?

Killing pays for life, but who kills and who pays for life, these are all defined by Hidden Cloud.

If Hyuga Hiashi doesn't see Sarutobi Hiruzen, I'm afraid he is waiting for him to make a choice, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's choice may also affect Hyuga Clan, and even affect the entire Konoha.

"Why are there so many things like this recently? It's really a bad thing."

Nara Shikaku sighed weakly in his heart. Although he is not afraid of such things, he is not afraid of such things. All kinds of crafty plots and machinations should also be decided and judged according to their own strength.

Konoha before, even before the Nine-Tails incident, Nara Shikaku is confident enough to handle these things with ease.

But the situation is different now, ninja is looking at strength, crafty plots and machinations are actually just an auxiliary means to achieve the goal.

Now Konoha is weak and unable to deter Hidden Cloud Village, which makes Konoha face such problems and have to show weakness everywhere.

"Forget it, I didn't come if I didn't come, let's talk about what we're going to do about it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows, he said weakly.

"Everyone in this room is a smart person, and I think everyone should know what Konoha is going to face next and how we're going to deal with the situation."

"I think now We'd better stabilize the situation as soon as possible."

Faced with the question thrown by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Nara Shikaku glanced at everyone present, and he knew that this could only be answered by himself.

"Things are very bad at this time. Whether it is in the village or in the village, I am afraid it will not take long to know that the messenger who just signed the armistice agreement is really Konoha.

This is a pair of Konoha. It's not a good thing, it's very important to calm down this matter, apart from this we also have to make a statement immediately and make it clear that this guy's death has nothing to do with us.

As for the end."

Having said that, Nara Shikaku shook the shaking ones head with a wry smile.

"As for the end, we also have to prepare for the battle, because we don't know what conditions Fourth Raikage will give."

Nara Shikaku stops here. Down, he deliberately did not mention Hyuga Clan, he just wanted to see Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts and plans.

Compared with clan and village, although it is indeed a village is more important.

But the original purpose of village is to protect children, to protect each clan so that everyone can have a place to live and work in peace.

There is very little in the history of Konoha about giving up on someone and then giving in.

Nara Shikaku naturally wouldn't do such a thing, and he didn't even want to say it.

"Then what if they didn't intend to go to war, but instead went on to fight as a threat, and let us hand over the murderer?"

However, to Nara Shikaku's disappointment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly lifts The head stared at him, asking the question almost word for word.

The meaning of this question is very clear, that is, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to go to war!
From Konoha's point of view, although his approach seems correct, he simply tolerates and betrays his own people. This is simply not the way to achieve real peace.

Nara Shikaku closes the eyes slightly, but soon he opens them again, shaking the shaking ones head very calmly.

"I can't answer that, Hokage-sama.

Because we don't even know who killed this guy, and Hokage-sama doesn't need to ask me about it ."

Speaking of which, Nara Shikaku's rare lifts the head looking straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Because it's up to Hokage-sama to make their own decisions, I'm just a member of the Ministry of State, and I'm also a member of Konoha.

So Hokage-sama made it The decision, I will follow it carefully.

Because, you are Hokage.”

After the meeting, Nara Shikaku slowly left Hokage Residence along with everyone.

In fact, the results of tonight's memories are really bad. After all, they can't make any effective measures.

Apart from this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude is also really disappointing, very disappointing.

Even if you are in Hokage's position, it is acceptable to get the greatest benefits of the village at the least cost.

But the combination of the village is essentially a settlement led by the Great Clan to unite all the small clans and countless commoner ninja combined together.

This situation is also doomed, and the operation of the village really needs to safeguard the interests of everyone.

Suddenly, Nara Shikaku thought of a question, that is why after Sandaime came to power, the various clans seemed to be more divided, not as united and friendly as everyone during the First Hokage period?
At that time, everyone will proudly claim to be Konoha's ninja, at that time everyone can be for the village
"Wait, Konoha Ninja?"

Nara Shikaku suddenly stopped while walking. He had never thought about this from Hokage's perspective before, but today he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He has read the literature and heard from his fathers what the Konoha was like at that time. Compared with the Konoha of today, the gap is too big.

He remembers that Third Hokage got very little support when he came to power, not like making Konoha his own.

Nara Shikaku is reluctant to think about the process, and he is more willing to think about the result.

Thinking about it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he realized that his guess was right!

“During the First Hokage period, everyone had a unified name, which was Konoha Ninja.

But now, the ninja of each clan is completely the concept of 'Konoha Ninja'. After the clan."

Nara Shikaku squinted slightly, just like Uchiha, the clan.

When facing the enemy they will only say that he is from Uchiha, not only Uchiha but all clans are similar.

Although just talking about Uchiha makes it clear that this guy is from Konoha.

But this has gradually replaced the concept of 'Konoha Ninja' with 'clan ninja'.

This process of unnoticeable influence makes the concept of 'Konoha Ninja' more and more blurred, and it also makes them seem to value clan more and more deeply.

“clan ninja, Konoha Ninja.”

Nara Shikaku closed his eyes, and he seemed to understand.

A single clan ninja remembers the hatred he once had, but a unified Konoha Ninja renounces hatred and faces the enemy together.

Now he seems to understand a little, why First Hokage wants to come up with a ninja rank system when it builds the village.

If clans are seen as one by one individuals piling up in Konoha, then the system of ninja rank is to smash these individuals directly.

Let them all mix together, whether it is commoner or clan ninja, everyone is a unified Konoha Ninja.

The only difference is ninja's rank, which is a horizontal way of dividing and integrating Konoha!
"But now, is everything back to square one, it's just."

After Nara Shikaku thought about it all, he seemed to be able to sigh except for some helpless.

But soon he thought of something again, because he felt that his state was not right.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen has reinvented Konoha so deeply, why did he suddenly think so?

Looking back at what Sarutobi Hiruzen did to replace Namikaze Minato this period of time, it's not great but it's not too bad either.

But
"newspaper!"

Suddenly, Nara Shikaku thought of something, and then he ran quickly home and dug out all the newspaper.

He felt as if he had caught something, something he had never connected before.

But now it seems to be a good opportunity, and now he has clearly felt as if there are two hands pushing everyone moved towards one direction.

He had to figure out what was going on!

Nara Shikaku finally figured out why after he dug out all the newspapers and spent days sorting through some of the contents.

These newspapers from the very beginning have been talking about Sarutobi Hiruzen's various problems, either with great fanfare or quietly.

However, even though these issues were mixed at the time, they were generally moving towards a good direction.

For example, a key point is nostalgia.

Is it just that Sarutobi Hiruzen is really nostalgic now?

He said before that he wanted to give up Hyuga Clan, does it really have anything to do with nostalgia?

Hyuga Clan has been in Konoha for so many years, and has always been safe and stable, and has never skipped or made trouble.

And their presence also contributed greatly to Konoha's various wars, aren't these people worthy of Sarutobi Hiruzen's nostalgia?

In contrast, letting go of Orochimaru and putting Danzo back in place is more of a selfish act!

The old feelings he said were just people who had a deep relationship with him.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku couldn't help fist clenched, and he seemed to feel the conspiracy getting stronger.

"No wonder I'm so disappointed because Sarutobi Hiruzen is basically lying, he's lying to everyone!

Today he can give up Hyuga Clan, then tomorrow if the need arises, then Can he give up on us?"

Nara Shikaku's face in this issue is a little ugly, what makes him ugly is not Sarutobi Hiruzen's choice, but that he is also unconsciously affected!

And as he organizes the newspaper more and more, he also feels more and more that there is a hand pushing Konoha, pushing everyone moved towards a direction that runs counter to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because he found very secret but not a small amount in the newspaper, advocated the Hidden Cloud threat theory and advocated that Konoha could not compromise.

There is no problem with these contents alone, because they are interspersed with various articles.

But once such an idea is accepted for a long time, then Sarutobi Hiruzen has made such a show of weakness, which will inevitably arouse the excitement of Konoha.

"What a terrifying product."

Nara Shikaku held the newspaper in his hand, he couldn't help swallowed saliva and said.

If he hadn't noticed that his situation seemed to be not quite right, he probably wouldn't have discovered the more terrifying side of these newspapers.

And now that he has discovered and seen through a lot of problems, he feels that he really needs to meet some people properly.

But at this time, Hidden Cloud Village Fourth Raikage's reply was also delivered to Konoha .
While Nara Shikaku made the decision, Hyuga Hiashi was also very heartbroken during this period of time. torment.

Senju Natsuhiko's words really upset him, and he thinks there's a chance this might actually go the way Natsuhiko said.

But Hyuga Hiashi is still waiting, waiting to see what the final result will be.

Besides, he remembered that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the one who marked himself as a single thought old friend.

Waiting is painful, especially now that the situation is so complicated, and Hyuga has become the center of Uzumaki, which makes Hyuga Hiashi even more painful.

"Lord Clan Leader." Just then, a voice interrupted Hyuga Hiashi's thoughts.

"Come in." Hyuga Hiashi sighed, then he let someone in.

"Lord Clan Leader, Nara Clan's Clan Leader is here." The person who came was a member of the Branch House. He lowered his head and didn't look at Hyuga Hiashi at all, so he said it directly.

This attitude seems very respectful, but Hyuga Hiashi knows that the person in front of him is probably full of resentment.

The current situation of Hyuga Clan is very bad. Within clan Main House Branch House has accumulated contradictions for a long time, and has encountered such a big thing outside the clan.

It can be said that Hyuga Clan at this time really has the taste of wind and rain.

But Hyuga Hiashi doesn't have the energy to think about these things anymore, and he has more important things to deal with at the moment.

"Lord Shikaku?" Hyuga Hiashi said softly nodded: "Then let him in."

"Yes, Lord Clan Leader." This Hyuga Branch House's The member nodded, and then quickly left the room.

Hyuga Hiashi was still sitting there, thinking about what purpose Nara Shikaku was looking for.

After thinking about it, he thought it was likely that the message from Hidden Cloud had already passed.

A week or so has passed quietly, and the news from Hidden Cloud should also come. For some reason, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly had the illusion that he was going to be judged.

This made him laughed helplessly, this feeling is really bad!
“Hiashi Clan Leader.”

Not long after, Nara Shikaku was led by Hyuga Clan to this room, and he nodded gently to Hyuga Hiashi.

"Shikaku Clan Leader, long time no see." Hyuga Hiashi restrained his thoughts, and he forced a smile: "Please sit down, let me make some tea."

>

"You're welcome, Hiashi Clan Leader." Nara Shikaku sat down and shook the shaking ones head before continuing: "I think Hiashi Clan Leader should know what I'm here for."

Nara Shikaku is so straight to the point, it's a bit beyond Hyuga Hiashi's expectations.

But soon he seemed to feel slightly relaxed, because such a straightforward attitude was likely to get them a good result.

If they get a very bad result, then Shikaku should be using a very euphemistic tone and attitude.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help showing a smile: "You can probably guess, is there a result from Hidden Cloud?"

"Un."

Nara Shikaku looked Hyuga Hiashi's smile, suddenly knew that the guy in front of him would be wrong, but he didn't bother to correct it.

"He gave us two choices. Hiashi Clan Leader has never been to the meeting and naturally doesn't know these"

"Is it either hand over the culprit or choose to go to war?
After all, Hidden Cloud's attitude is so low, and now that their sincerity has been destroyed by Konoha, it is natural to choose the most extreme way, right?"

Before Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Hyuga Hiashi said directly. came up with an answer.

And this answer made Nara Shikaku frown, because Hyuga Hiashi was absolutely right, and he even took the pose of Hidden Cloud into account.

Now he is more and more certain, I am afraid that Hyuga Hiashi guessed this, and is not willing to go to the meeting at all, he is waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to express his opinion.

"That's right, Hiashi Clan Leader." Nara Shikaku sighed involuntarily: "Hiashi Clan Leader is really amazing, that's right, he gave me such a choice."

"It's not me. Great, but our Anbu Commander is great, he told me everything I said." Hyuga Hiashi showed a wry smile: "I'm afraid our Anbu Commander saw through Hidden Cloud before they entered the village. .”

Senju Natsuhiko?

Nara Shikaku was stunned when he heard the name, and then he knew nodded.

Although he didn't expect that there was a silhouette of the Anbu Commander himself in this incident, it was undeniable that the Anbu Commander was amazing.

Nara Shikaku never doubted how long this minister's acuity and Clear Sight Ability was.

After all, he is so young to be able to sit firmly on Anbu Commander and become Fourth Hokage's spokesperson in Konoha. This guy has never been more powerful than imagined.

And his strength is also very strong, although Nara Shikaku thinks he may not be able to deal with Jinchuriki, and Fourth Raikage such a terrifying existence.

But the strength of being able to suppress Nine-Tails alone is incredible, and the future of Senju Natsuhiko is really immeasurable.

"Unfortunately, if there was more time, Konoha would be in such a difficult situation."

Nara Shikaku sighed inwardly, he felt that if he gave Natsuhiko more time to grow up, with With his Wood-Style and Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he might be able to really handle Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki teaming up.

And now, neither he nor the whole of Konoha feel that he can really deal with these two people.

"I understand." Nara Shikaku sighed, then his face became extremely solemn: "So, whether Hiashi Clan Leader can know, Third Hokage's decision."

"Have you decided?" Hyuga Hiashi heard this sentence, and when he was planning to blurt out his answer, he suddenly noticed Nara's face, which made him seem a little less confident.

quite a long time, he asked tentatively: "Yes, hand over the culprit?"

"Yes." Nara Shikaku nodded, he closed his eyes: "Third Hokage's choice is to hand over the culprit, and it is the 'culprit' designated by Raikage."

"How could he do this!" At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly stood up angrily: "Did he Don't know that those damned Cloud Ninjas simply ate poison and held Hinata hostage?"

"Sorry." Nara Shikaku shook the shaking ones head: "I'm afraid tonight, Third Hokage will visit in person ."

"Amazing, awesome!" Hyuga Hiashi almost said through gritted teeth: "This is his nostalgia? Awful, awesome!"

looked so angry Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku could only be sighed, and an inexplicable sadness also echoed in his heart.

Just imagine, this time may be Hyuga Clan, so who will be next?
But fortunately, he won't let it appear next time, although Konoha is weak and difficult situation, but Konoha can't be so complacent and destroy his morale!
Thinking of this, Nara Shikaku suddenly stood up, he looked seriously Hyuga Hiashi and then said.

"Actually we still have a choice, although time is a little tight but also not unable to do it."

"What choice?"

"Let's meet Senju Natsuhiko.”
