Chapter 5: The frustrated Third Hokage, Danzo’s plan

The Third Hokage deeply regretted it now.

It was not regret for not being able to persuade Hyuga Nàiluò to "give up" his life in exchange for peace.

It is regrettable that Hyuga Nàiluò said so much!

A few random questions and answers that seem to be simple and clueless but caused so much trouble.

However, a Hokage, who has been in power for nearly forty years, has been driven into a dead end by a boy not even a half his age!

If he answers, the village will not start a war because Hyūga Hinata was abducted.

So what would the Hyuga clan think?

What would the other Shinobi think?

Will anyone in the village support him in the future?

But if the answer would be to start a war for Hinata being captured, it would contradict his words and deeds today!

If the village is willing to go to war with another Hidden village in order to protect one villager,

So how can the village let a Shinobi who has not even made the slightest of mistakes be sent to death for the sake of peace!

In Third Hokage's mind, today's script should look like this:

Under the indoctrination of his will of fire, Hyuga Nàiluò should have offered to dedicate himself to the village.

Even!

In order to ensure his untainted image, he would reject Nàiluò's sacrifice.

Then, Hyuga Nàiluò should firmly express his willingness to sacrifice himself for the village and the will of fire.

In the end he would have no choice but to agree.

The village would be peaceful.

Everyone should have been happy.

However, the direction of things was completely different from what he thought!

Hyuga Nàiluò didn't say a word at first, making him happy.

Then he turned around and rebelliously asked him…...

Even questioned them what the will of fire is!

He even said that they betrayed the will of fire!

This is ridiculous!

"You sharp-toothed kid."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke came out to make a statement:

"That's nice, but in fact, you just don't dare to dedicate yourself to the village. Everything else is just an excuse!"

"I have said everything I should say."

Hyuga Nàiluò said blankly.

"What did you say? Just ask, don't dare to dedicate yourself to the village, but you are the only one, right?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sneered.

"If the final decision of the village is to use me in exchange for peace, then I will accept this decision."

Hyuga Nàiluò spoke without a single fluctuation of his expression on his face.

"But I will not obediently commit suicide and give myself to Kumogakure Village with such a flimsy reason."

"I will only choose to fight alone and to kill my way to the Cloud Shinobi Village!"

When the voice fell, everyone's expression changed.

Head to Kumogakure Shinobi Village?

And alone at that?

What an arrogant tone!

In the entire Ninja World, I am afraid that there shall no longer be a second person who dares to say such things!

but, to say such words…...

Everyone was shocked by Hyuga Nàiluò's momentum this time.

Uchiha Fugaku looked moved.

Hyuga Nàiluò's words just now fit the aesthetics of their Uchiha clan!

Peace should be won with our own strength!

It should not be exchanged for the death of one's relatives, friends, and partners!

Furthermore!

The Uchiha clan have never been afraid of war!

Even Uchiha Fugaku, who has always been used to forbearance,

The Uchiha clan's militant gene is also in his bones!

Not only the Uchiha, but the patriarchs of other major clans also showed signs of being moved by Hyuga Nàiluò.

The patriarch of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku, thought of more and looked at the underlying meaning.

Hyuga Nàiluò's words indicate that he will obey the village's decision, but only if the village makes such a decision!

Nara Shikaku couldn't help but admire him for a moment.

The essence of today's problem is that the village wants peace, but the village also wants decency!

In other words, the village must let Hyuga Nàiluò take the initiative to make the decision to die.

And Hyuga Nàiluò's speech is to throw this decision right to the village again!

As a result, the village fell into an embarrassing situation.

'Maybe it's more appropriate to change the village to Hokage. Nara Shikaku thought secretly.

The Third Hokage looked around helplessly for awhile then sighed:

"It's already late now, so let's finish here first, and discuss this matter later."

If it doesn't end,

Third Hokage suspected that these people might start to question his competency as the Hokage!

soon.

Only the Third Hokage and his three advisory elders remained in the conference room.

After confirming that everyone outside has left.

Snapped!

Mitokado Homura slapped the table angrily!

"Arrogant, This Hyuga Nàiluò is simply too arrogant!"

"Yes!" Utatane Koharu echoed, "He has no respect for you, Hiruzen, the Hokage and the elders council!"

Mitokado Homura: "How dare he question the Hokage in public, he doesn't put village in his eyes!"

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, counted the "crimes" of Hyuga Nàiluò one by one.

If you say, usually, for their own power, they might even choose to hold back the Third Hokage in certain matters.

But today is different!

Hyuga Nàiluò's contempt for the Hokage and including made them feel insulted!

"The most important thing is that he completely misunderstood the will of fire!"

The Third Hokage said grimly.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu nodded repeatedly.

But the three of them didn't intend to discuss more about how Hyuga Nàiluò misinterpreted the will of fire.

"After talking about this matter so much, what are you going to do?"

Danzo, who was silent for a while, suddenly spoke.

"How are we going to explain to Kumogakure about this incident, if we are not prepared for war."

"Uh..."

Their expressions were stagnant.

" Unfortunately, Hiruzen, it's time for you to make a decision. Otherwise, Hyuga Nàiluò is going to take action, I'm afraid the patriarchs will even take the initiative to declare war on the Hidden Cloud." Danzo said coldly.

Mitokado Homura pondered for a while, then said:

"That Hyuga Nàiluò is so arrogant in front of the Hokage, this matter will not and cannot be forgotten!"

The Third Hokage did not answer, but he agreed with Mitokado Homura.

If the Hokage does not punish him in public, what will people make of the Hokage's prestige in the future.

"But we can't find any reason to punish him." Utatane Koharu hesitated.

"No reason is needed."

Danzo resolutely said:

"If Hyuga Nàiluò dies, the patriarchs of the various clans will naturally not argue for a dead person."

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood in seconds, adding:

"Hyuga Nàiluò killed the leader of the Cloud Shinobi team, so it is possible that Cloud Shinobi Village spies will retaliate against him."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also understood.

What? No Cloud Shinobi spy?

That's all they have to say...

As long as Hyuga Nàiluò is dead, who would care about a dead person!

"Leave this to me."

Danzo is confident.
