Deal

Konoha September 25, 1953

Kai, Kakashi and others had just finished their mission when Anbu came.

"Kai, Lord Hokage has summoned us."

Kai nodded, "Understood."

"Are you okay?" Kakashi patted Kai on the shoulder. Usually several people were summoned at the same time, but now they were only called Kai. This obviously meant there was something going on.

"It's okay, some family conflicts."

"Well, it's okay."

The success of so many plans depends on this moment.

After saying hello in advance and no one stopping him along the way, Kai knocked on the door of Hokage's office.

"Enter!"

Kai opened the door and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting in his office chair.

"Lord Third Hokage!" Kai knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"How was the mission accomplished?"

"Done successfully."

"Yes, you are indeed the famous Thunder Palm Kai."

Kai modestly said, "It all depends on the cultivation of Hokage and the help of Anbu companions."

"Yes, Not Bad."

"You have been in charge of affairs with Kumogakure recently. What do you think of the war with Kumogakure?"

Kai thought for a while, this old guy wanted to test whether his character was worth falling out with Hyuga, and whether I was of the same mind as him.

And this is the right person to ask. He knows the plot development, and Sarutobi Hiruzen will take the initiative to reconcile with the village.

He also discovered that the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family had endured the mission's robbery, and even gave Uncle Hizashi to Kumogakure.

Thinking of this, Kai couldn't help but grit his teeth, it was so frustrating.

But this scene also seemed to Hiruzen Sarutobi as a sense of belonging to Konoha and hatred of the enemy.

"Sir Third Hokage, I think we should propose peace talks with Kumogakure. We have gained some advantages on the battlefield, and now we can obtain good conditions for peace talks."

"We need peace more than continuing to fight and achieve a tragic victory. Konoha is now in a period of weakness. What it needs is rest, not a tragic victory."

These few words from Kai are also Sarutobi Hiruzen's future strategy, and they have been adhered to until the next generation grows up, which is the twelve little heroes of Konoha.

These few words also entered Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart. He understood me no better than those who said I was cowardly, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's affection for Kai immediately increased greatly.

He has talent, strength, endurance, and strategic vision. What an excellent ninja.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean, but there are many people who oppose me..."

Kai's determined voice sounded ,"They are short-sighted and cannot appreciate the greatness of Lord Third Hokage, but time will tell them the result."

"Alas..." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed as if Kai had spoken his mind.

Then there was a long silence, as if both of them were sorting out their emotions.

"The current public opinion of Hyuga is your handiwork?" Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the atmosphere of harmony between king and minister with one sentence.

"Yes."

Kai did not explain or deny, he simply agreed. The things he did might be able to be hidden from the Hyuga clan, but they definitely could not be hidden from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Kai's performance, "What's the reason?"

"My younger brother Hyuga Neji is three years old this year. He has reached the age of being carved with a caged bird curse seal. I hope he can grow up healthily."

"As expected of an older brother..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more satisfied. He had a sense of belonging to the village and a family bond. Such people were the best to control.

After finding the answer he wanted, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the image of the grandpa next door, asking Kai to retreat and giving him a reassurance.

"I just finished the mission. Old man, I should not have asked you to come and talk. You should go down and rest first."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Hyuga's affairs. They won't ask you to carve a caged bird again, and the age at branch house to carve a caged bird will be postponed to nine years old."

"Thank you, Lord Third Hokage!" Kai was very excited, as if he wanted to die for Sarutobi Hiruzen right away.

Looking at Kai's leaving back, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a breath of dry smoke. If he kept Kai in this way, it would become a major help to him. Besides, the Hyuga clan really needed to be beaten.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the report on the table, and the three Hyuga Anbu took advantage of their positions to conduct private transactions with other countries, use force to eradicate hostile industries in the Land of Fire, develop family industries, etc.

He washocked. They have accomplished so much in just six months. How efficient they are at doing things!

It didn't matter once he checked, Sarutobi Hiruzen was frightened. No wonder Hyuga has been able to continuously improve the treatment of family ninjas recently.

"Shinnosuke!"

Shinnosuke Sarutobi appeared in the office wearing Anbu gear.

"I'm here!"

"Arrange some people to deal with those Hyuga Anbu."

"Understood!"

Just as Sarutobi Shinnosuke was about to leave, he was stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Wait a minute! This mission is assigned to Hyuga Hiashi's team. You go and call Hyuga Hiashi."

"Ok!"

...

Kai breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the Hokage Building. It was really tiring to act with Hiruzen Sarutobi just now, but the result was gratifying. Not only did he achieve his goal, but he also alienated Konoha and Hyuga.

If he could go to a higher level, he might not have to do it himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen would take action for him.

But this should be impossible, Hyuga is not Uchiha, and the Hyuga family should be much more honest after this.

And I am already considered a close confidant of the Hokage, at least until I flee Konoha, I am considered a close confidant of the Hokage.

Kai returned to Anbu to meet up with several teammates, and they were about to meet up to go to the barbecue restaurant to take care of their stomach after eating many ration pills.

An Anbu came to the lounge with several people.

"Team Kakashi, this is your new mission."

Rain was very unconvinced.

"Hey, we just completed an A-level mission, and it's vacation now."

The Anbu ignored Rain's words, handed the mission file to Kakashi, and then disappeared again.

Kakashi took the task file and read it carefully, his expression became extremely strange.

"Kai, take a look. If you can't take action, you can ask for leave. The three of us can complete this task."

Kai took the file without hesitation and read it carefully. It recorded in detail the crimes of three Hyuga branch house Anbu who used power for personal gain and other crimes.

The content of the mission is to ambush and kill several people while the three of them are on a mission.

Kai's expression did not change, and he handed the file to Yamato beside him.

"I have no problem. Although my surname is Hyuga, I am not a member of the Hyuga clan, and I have a bloody feud with them."

"When the time comes, I must be allowed to deal with them alone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted him to hand over a certificate of surrender for easy control, but Kai didn't care.

Not to mention that the Hyuga didn't know. Even if they knew, what could they do? He was just collecting interest now, and he would ask them for the general ledger later when he became stronger.

The two teammates looked at each other with sympathy after reading the file. It must be very uncomfortable to have such a big hatred against their own family.
