The Hyuga Drifting Further from the Righteous Characters

Hyuga Hiashi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "The root of the chaos in the Shinobi World is not the greed in people's hearts, but the belief of each side in protecting their village when faced with external threats."

"Now that Konoha is caught in the middle of this conflict, and the Fifth Hokage considers Akatsuki a major enemy... therefore, the Fifth Hokage will do everything he can to quell this dispute."

"As for our Hyuga Clan, it's better to focus our attention on the village itself rather than on the entire Shinobi World."

The Great Elder pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded slightly.

Regardless of any internal conflicts within Konoha, the Konoha's current strength is comparable to that of the First Hokage when he was still alive.

Unless the major Shinobi Village Hidden Cloud Village, Iwagakure, Sand Village, Kirigakure join forces, no one will dare to invade the Land of Land of Fire's territory.

In this situation, not all Konoha Ninja who yearn for 'peace' can see the big picture clearly, nor do all want to participate in the conflicts of the Shinobi World.

What the Hyuga Clan is worried about is Konoha's involvement in the war, which would prevent the Hyuga Clan from developing its power in peace.

As for leaving Konoha...

Although the Hyuga Clan has a strong Hinata like Hinata and the hidden Rinnegan Hyuga Hiashi, if the Hyuga Clan were to leave Konoha at this time, it would inevitably attract the attention of the entire Shinobi World.

However, the Hyuga Clan consists mostly of ordinary ninjas, and these ninjas have lived their entire lives in Konoha and have a deep affection for the village.

The Hyuga Clan still needs time; many factors are holding Hyuga, preventing them from Konoha Hyuga Clan the time being.

Therefore, instead of wasting their time and energy on the unreachable chaos of the Shinobi World, the Hyuga Clan would be better off pressuring the Konoha from within the village to extricate Hokage from the quagmire of war and maintain their superior status.

At the very least... Konoha needs both a pro-war and pro-peace faction, and cannot allow Tsunade to decide the village's future direction alone.

"I see!"

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Hiashi, now that Shikaku in the village, your role as an 'advisor' can be quite useful."

As long as Konoha doesn't get involved in the Shinobi World conflict as a whole, the Hyuga Clan can continue to stay in Konoha and develop peacefully.

As for the future...

Although the exact timing of Akatsuki's operation is still unclear, Hinata had previously estimated that there was at least a year left before Akatsuki's operation.

That's enough!

Moreover, from Orochimaru's perspective, it would be absolutely impossible for him to allow a single ninja village to collect all four Impure World Reincarnation.

As long as there is no force to oppose Hinata, the chaos in the Shinobi World will have nothing to do with Konoha.

If Hyuga Hiashi his capacity as the Hokage Advisor, were to put forward this "opinion," it would be enough to gain the support of some of the village's ninjas.

As for whether this move will exacerbate the conflict Hyuga Clan and the Hokage lineage.

Of course!

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Having absolute power, even if there are concerns about certain things, one doesn't actually need to worry too much about what to do.

Bonds and affections can sometimes be hard to let go of.

Especially for ninjas under the age of 60, they have almost dedicated their entire lives to Konoha, and their feelings for the village cannot be explained in just a few words.

However, as conflicts intensify, this friendship may gradually fade.

Just like the Uchiha back then.

Hinata watched as the group quickly finalized their plan in just a few words, unable to get a word in edgewise.

After the clan meeting ended, Hyuga Hiashi kept Hinata behind.

Hyuga Hiashi didn't say much, but he did give Hinata some homework.

He asked Hinata to summarize the meeting's content and explain in detail why the Hyuga Clan did what they did, what benefits they would gain from doing so, and so on...

Hinata almost went crazy!

I didn't hear you!

Two days later, faced with the ongoing chaos in the Shinobi World, Tsunade ordered a meeting of Jonin to discuss how to resolve the conflicts within the Shinobi World.

Tsunade originally intended to gather ideas from all sides and, incidentally, to act as a mobilization force, so that the Konoha Ninja would be ready to participate in the conflict between the Land of Water and prevent the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure from obtaining the Impure World Reincarnation.

Hyuga Hiashi raised a different opinion at this meeting.

As a Jonin Konoha, Hinata was still staying in the village, naturally had to attend this Jonin meeting.

Hinata sat below, carefully observing...

Yes! Tsunade's expression was already very unpleasant after she explained her point of view to Hyuga Hiashi.

To be honest, Hinata thought Hyuga Hiashi's words made a lot of sense.

For example, Konoha can completely stay out of this now. Since no village dares to provoke Konoha, why should Konoha invite trouble for itself?

While Orochimaru's purpose is not yet clear, given his stance, he would absolutely not allow any ninja village to gather enough Orochimaru (Impure World Reincarnation) agents.

Since Kumogakure and Iwagakure will ultimately waste their efforts, why should Konoha go looking for trouble?

It must be said that many of the Jonin present still supported Hyuga Hiashi.

Even though they had no prior relationship with Hyuga Hiashi, that didn't stop them from thinking that Hyuga Hiashi's reasons were valid.

"What about Orochimaru?"

Tsunade coldly questioned, "Orochimaru deliberately instigated conflict between the Five Great Shinobi Villages... Doesn't Orochimaru's purpose need to be investigated? Shouldn't Orochimaru stop Konoha's conspiracy?"

As the Hokage Advisor, Hyuga Hiashi sat in the chair to the left and behind Tsunade.

"Lord Hokage!"

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "I'm afraid Konoha isn't the only one in the Shinobi World curious about Orochimaru's motives. Since Konoha can stay out of it, Konoha can certainly borrow the strength of other ninja villages to investigate Orochimaru's conspiracy."

"The Hidden Cloud Village, the Iwagakure, and the Kirigakure will not stand idly by and watch Orochimaru's plot succeed!"

Tsunade frowned slightly upon hearing this.

All of Hyuga Hiashi's theories are actually based on Hinata's power.

It is precisely because of Konoha's presence in Hinata that other ninja villages dare not provoke Konoha.

But everything has multiple facets.

It is precisely because of Konoha's existence in Hinata that other ninja villages are so obsessed with the ' Impure World Reincarnation, and the Hyuga Clan has also developed certain ideas because of this.

However, Tsunade had to admit that if she hadn't known certain 'historical truths,' she would have agreed that Hyuga Hiashi's opinion was correct.

Just like when Hashirama Senju was still alive, no matter how chaotic the Shinobi World was, no one dared to invade an inch of the Land of Land of Fire.

However, now is not the time to reveal these 'historical truths' to the public.

Tsunade turned to look at Hyuga Hiashi, her tone serious, and said, "The Akatsuki are currently hiding in the shadows of the Shinobi World, eyeing the Tailed Beasts of each village. If conflicts break out among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, wouldn't that allow the Akatsuki to reap the benefits?"

"To end this chaos, Konoha may lose some benefits, but it is for the sake of a more long-term overall situation."
