Chapter 255 (1/2)
”Hmm...what do you say now?!»
Shinobi Kumo looked at Hiashi coldly.
Hyuga Hiashi's face became very gloomy, he looked at the shinobi in charge of examining the body and said, ” There are no signs of control? Are the meridians okay too?»
The strange and unnatural movement of the leader of the Kumo delegation at the moment of death led Hiashi to believe that he was killed beforehand, and then sent to the territory of the Hyuga Clan with the help of a puppet technique.
The goal was to worsen the Hyuga Clan's relationship with Konoha.
After saying that, Hiashi looked around, lingering on Shikaku Nara and the Head of the Konoha Military Police, Uchiha Fugaku.
What is happening is most beneficial to the Uchiha Clan and possibly some other large clans.
This could be done with the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu or the Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique.
Looking around, Hiashi saw the calm and indifferent gazes of Uchiha Fugaku and the others.
”Does the Head of the Hyuga Clan think that this was set up by the Uchiha Clan?»
Noticing Hiashi's gaze, Fugaku calmly said, ” We, the Uchiha Clan, despise such means...But you, the Hyuga Clan, recently seem to think of yourself as the greatest Clan of Konoha.»
What happened really has nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan, and they really despise such means, but the absence of the Hyuga Clan at yesterday's celebration did not please Fugaku very much.
In his opinion, due to too active development recently, the Hyuga Clan began to neglect the rest of Konoha.
Fugaku's words caused the Uchiha Clan members present to look coldly at the Hyuga Clan members, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became very heavy.
Shinobi Kumo chuckled as he watched, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
It seems that the Hyuga Clan is really isolated from Konoha and no one will take their side...Now Kumo will not dare to confront Konoha, but the Hyuga Clan will have to pay the price.
”We, the Hyuga Clan, never thought about it and are still part of Konoha.»
«...»
Fugaku folded his arms and said nothing.
The conflict between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, the strongest clans of Konoha, is inevitable.
They now control the Konoha Military Police, while the Hyuga Clan controls the Perception Department.
Within Konoha, between the duties of the perception department and the police, of course, there are conflicts, but both sides behave extremely restrained.
After all, no one wanted to provoke the Fifth Hokage. As soon as the conflict causes discontent on the part of Yeruashi, it is possible that all parties will have a very hard time.
After a while.
Shinobi of the Second Squad of the Shadow Guard and the Konoha Interrogation Department repeatedly checked the body of the leader of the Kumo delegation, eventually finally making sure of the previously established cause of death.
By this point, the Kumo Shinobi were completely enraged, all of them glaring at Hiashi and the others: ”You have to give us a report!»
”The leader only secretly sneaked into your clan's territory, he didn't do anything else! You are deliberately destroying the peace between Konoha and Kumo in order to provoke a renewed war!»
”You must take responsibility for what happened!»
The screams of the enraged Kumo Shinobi echoed through the courtyard.
Hiashi's face darkened.
Noticing that Uchiha Fugaku continued to stare at him indifferently, while Shikaku stood quietly to the side without saying a word, Hiashi felt a chill run down his spine...it seems that the problem is taking a very serious turn.
Little Hinata, who was hiding behind Hiashi, was frightened by the furious screams of Shinobi Kumo and began to cry softly, two small hands tightly clutching the edge of her father's cape.
Just at this moment.
A calm voice came from the side.
”If Konoha doesn't give a report, will you resume the war?»
Hearing this voice, Fugaku and Shikaku both turned to look in his direction at the same time.
”Lord Hokage.»
Shikaku immediately approached Yeruashi, bowed, and began to describe the situation.
Yeruashi waved his hand, interrupting his words, ” No need, I already know...»
The fifth Hokage squatted down, not paying any attention to Shinobi Kumo at all, and with a soft smile looked at Hinata, who was cowering timidly behind Hiashi: ”Hinata, come to me, there is no need to be afraid.»
Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yeruashi's attitude and looked at Hinata: ”Hinata, meet Lord Hokage.»
”Hawk...Hokage...»
