Chapter 53

The Hyuga clan, which along with the Uchiha clan have always been known as the two great dōjutsu clans of Konoha, also have records of the Sharingan collected since the Warring States era.

Especially after Uchiha Madara, his special pair of sharingan, Mangekyo, made the entire ninja world remember the power of the Uchiha.

In fact, if it weren't for the terrifying Tree Style of First Hokage Senju Hashirama, there might not have been anyone who could hold off Madara Uchiha at that time.

And now…

In the 360-degree view of the Byakugan at this moment, two and a half pairs of Mangekyo Sharingans are slowly rotating, albeit not looking at him, but such power...

"Where the leaves fly, fire will burn. The shadow of fire will illuminate the village, causing new leaves to sprout..." Hyuga Hiashi's voice sounded, he looked at the Fourth Hokage and said: "The Hyuuga clan has always remembered the original intention of the First Hokage to create Konoha. During the Warring States period, the average life expectancy was only 30 years, and even children who had just picked up blades had to go to the battlefield."

"The creation of Konoha was meant to end the war and end the fate of the unexpected death of all descendants of any family. In the beginning, every family joined Konoha with the same goal of stability."

"Shortcomings do not hide goodness, and goodness does not hide shortcomings. In any case, every family in Konoha that has an enhanced genome or a secret technique will not want to be killed by others like a trapped lamb!

Speaking of this, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Uchiha Shisui and Yun: "On this issue, Hyuga and Uchiha are on the same side."

After the words were spoken, Hyuga Hiashi did not look at the already enraged Third Hokage, but turned and stood behind the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, bowed his head and fell silent.

Obviously, Hiashi's words put him on the side of all the families of the heirs of secret techniques in Konoha. But his actions still pointed to the Fourth Hokage.

Even if it's two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, you still need to follow certain political rules unless you want to be like Madara Uchiha, the enemy of the whole world.

Uchiha Yun sighed in his heart. Now Danzo has died and it seems that the next high-ranking game is still a long way off.

But what choice will you make next... Namikaze Minato.

For a while, after Hyuga Hiashi's voice sounded, the stage fell silent.

Everyone, including the Anbu, who is directly under the command of the two Hokages, was at this moment waiting for the Fourth's answer.

"Phew..."

Namikaze Minato exhaled and looked firmly at his teacher's teacher. In the past, he was an old man who helped him rise to the position of Hokage.

Although the Third Hokage indeed delegated power to him, he himself, as the living Third Hokage, represents many aspects of the division of power.

And now, for the first time, Minato has the right to fight it.

"Next... Kinoe will lead the Anbu and ninja search team to explore all of the Root ruins. Hiashi's intelligence team is also on standby and will do everything possible to gather all the information about Root's past."

"If... Danzo really did this to Konoha ninjas... no! With the people of Konoha. Then...he cannot enter the memorial monument."

As soon as the voice sounded, Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Namikaze Minato's next words.

"Of course, Danzo belongs to the highest level of Konoha anyway. I, as the current Hokage, am also responsible for this kind of thing. Since it has become Konoha's darkness, information about it cannot be revealed."

"Therefore, everything related to the Root will be sealed in the archives, and no one will be allowed to talk about it."

After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, he stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious, this is the limit of what I can go to as the Fourth Hokage.

The essence of politics is mutual compromise.

"Hmm... is that how it is?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his originally tall and straight body now looking a little stooped.

"Where the leaves fly, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village, causing new leaves to sprout..."

"We are old people, and new leaves have already sprouted. Fourth, you should know this clearly, I never thought about controlling Konoha all the time."

"I just get nervous sometimes when I look at it. Maybe this reminds me of the words Jiraiya and Tsunade left before they left, that my generation lacks trust in the next generation."

"But please believe it, whether it's this old man or Danzo. Everything we did, we did for Konoha."

After the words were spoken, Hyuuga Hiashi, who had kept his head down and maintained his composure the entire time, sighed in his heart.

He knew this...

The Third Hokage can always put himself at the pinnacle of morality with peace of mind.

Confidence?

Starting with the Second Hokage, the creation of the Ninja School and the appearance of the Scroll of Seals.

How much did they trust the Uchiha clan?

How much did you trust the main families of Konoha?

Hiashi sometimes feels that their clan is very lucky, for example, that the Byakugan has much fewer functions than the Sharingan, but at the same time, their role is indispensable in large-scale wars.

Coupled with long-standing contradictions between the main family and the secondary one.

Perhaps that is why the Hyuuga clan is fine, but the Senju and Uchiha...

...

"Uzumaki Sora... As Homura just said, no matter what Danzo did, you killed Konoha's top leader and even destroyed the entire Root."

By order of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Enma transformed into an iron staff, aiming directly at Uzumaki Sora.

"Now you must pay for your actions."

Uzumaki Sora spread his arms in the air and looked at the Third Hokage with eyes as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person: "Could it be that you did not understand what I said earlier? Although you have mastered the five elements, what can you do to hold me back?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Uzumaki Sora in the air, "Minato, he is too dangerous for Konoha. In fact, I understand that we have to trust the next generation."

"From now on, everything in Konoha will be handed over to you!"

Namikaze Minato was stunned when he heard these words, was it really...

Seal of the God of Death?

Why?

"Third Hokage, you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly, "When people grow old, they will miss their old affection. Maybe I've been wrong all along. But as the next generation of Hokage, you will definitely achieve more than me."

After the words ended, the Third Hokage quickly made seals with both hands: "Fire Release: Dragon Flame!"

Looking at the all-consuming flames, Uzumaki Sora in the air became a little embarrassed.

And it's all?

What about the Great Five Elements Combo?

What about the Seal of the Death God?

Sora casually clapped his hands and formed a seal with his hands.

*Boom!!*

In an instant, countless trees burst out, and the endless giant vines even directly extinguished the attacking fire dragon.

When the dust settled, Sora and Sarutobi Hiruzen below were watching with wide eyes.

(And it's all?)

(Why aren't you leaving yet?)

When their eyes met, Hiruzen Sarutobi found it difficult to tear his gaze away for a while.
