For Konoha, Nine-Tails is definitely an extremely terrifying existence.
Especially that terrifying night more than ten years ago left an indelible and deep fear to everyone living here.
Because of this, when Jinchuriki Naruto completely Tailed Beast Transformation and began to run rampant, the whole village began to tremble in front of that destructive power.
But this time, there will not be another Fourth Hokage who will stand up and seal this terrifying monster at the cost of his own life.
Moreover, those ninjas who escaped from the battlefield did not hesitate to announce the true identity of Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Naruto Uzumaki, causing an uproar in an instant.
The heroic orphan became a victim of the power struggle among the village's top leaders?
Suddenly, not only the ninjas were angry, but also the ordinary villagers.
In less than ten minutes, the entire Hokage Building was surrounded by a swarming crowd.
Especially the two Hokage Advisors, who turned into street rats on the spot. If they were not protected by Anbu, they would be torn into pieces by the angry crowd in minutes.
You must know that when Orochimaru Konoha Collapse Plan ended, the black materials about Konoha that were revealed had already made many people angry.
It's just that Fifth Hokage Tsunade had just come back at that time, and everyone was embarrassed to make too much noise. Coupled with the pressure from external Resistance Army, we had to temporarily choose peace as the most important thing.
But today!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Konoha is about to be doomed, so naturally they don't have so many scruples, and frantically clamor to liquidate the upper echelons of dirty Decay.
Looking at the lively scene in front of Hokage Building, Sasuke couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said sarcastically, "How interesting! Those old guys who keep saying they are thinking about the village are ultimately regarded as enemies by the villagers and subordinates who they think should support and understand them."
"Because they are so stupid! They always naively think that they can rely on secrecy to prevent those dark things from being exposed. But they have never thought about how to deal with it once it is exposed. Maybe as Allen said, the top leaders of most villages in this ninja world lack enough vision and ability, but they firmly hold the power, and the result is naturally to continue to create tragedies." Neji sighed slightly.
As one of the victims, he would naturally not sympathize with the two old guys around Third Hokage, but he would not be so extreme as Sasuke, eager to kill each other with his own hands to vent the resentment accumulated in his heart.
In fact, when he killed the Raikage, most of his resentment because of his father's suicide had dissipated.
"I'm going to kill those two old guys, do you want to come with me?" Sasuke took the initiative to invite.
Neji shook his head slightly. "Sorry, I have more important things to do. You can enjoy this revenge by yourself."
After that, he followed Hiashi back to the Hyuga Clan's residence.
As soon as he passed through the gate, Hinata, who was forcibly locked up at home, rushed over and asked in a very urgent tone, "Father! I... I heard that Mr. Naruto lost control and went berserk. Is this true?"
"Ah! It's true. He has completely released Nine-Tails sealed in his body and is wreaking havoc in the forest not far from the village." Hiashi did not hide anything and told the truth straightforwardly.
"Ning...Neji brother?! Why are you here?"
Little Spark, who appeared right after him, stared wide-eyed. He couldn't believe that Neji, who had defected from the village, could actually return to the village with such arrogance.
She remembered clearly that the night after Chunin Exam ended, her father told her that no one in the Hyuga Clan was allowed to mention Neji again, otherwise they would be dealt with according to family law.
"I'm here to take you away from Konoha and live in a brand new place." Neji bent down and smiled, pinching his cousin's cute face.
After all, ever since he learned the truth about his father's suicide, he no longer hated the Zong family, but hated the senior officials of Cloud Ninja and Konoha more.
"Leave?!"
When Hinata heard these two words, his pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again, and then asked in an unbelievable tone, "Father, do you want to lead us Hyuga Clan away from Konoha?"
"No! I am not leading you, but you young people will follow Neji and leave Konoha. I and all the older clan members will stay and coexist with Konoha. And from today on, Neji is the new clan leader of the Hyuga Clan, and all of you must obey his arrangements."
Hiashi Hyuga told her daughter her decision in a tone that left no room for doubt.
As a typical feudal patriarch, his attitude towards his daughter has always been to give orders without discussion.
But this time, Hinata, who had always been docile and obedient, went against the norm and resisted fiercely. "No! I will never leave Konoha! I want to stay with you!"
"Stay? Is it for that boy Naruto Uzumaki?" Hiashi subconsciously frowned and asked.
He is not a fool. He has already noticed the completely different attitude of his eldest daughter towards Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Yes! If my father wants to ensure the continuation of the family, it is enough to send Hanabi away. I have already worn a forehead protector to become a ninja, so naturally I have to persist as a ninja until the end." Hinata expressed his position categorically.
I have to say that her appearance was completely beyond the expectations of everyone present.
In the eyes of most people, this eldest lady of the clan has always shown herself to be gentle and weak.
But who would have thought that at such a critical moment, she would have the courage to stand up and make her own life choice.
Because no matter how you look at it now, the chances of surviving without Konoha are higher.
Looking at the rock-like determination in his daughter's eyes, Hiashi confirmed again. "Have you really made up your mind? Once you decide, there is no way out."
"I've thought about it! Let Hanabi leave with brother Neji."
As he said that, Hinata held his younger sister tightly in his arms and whispered, "Hanabi, remember to listen to brother Neji in the future, and don't be petty, got it?"
"Huh? Sister, won't you come with me?" Hanabi blinked and asked.
"Sorry, sister has some more important things to do. If we are destined, we will meet again in the future."
As the last word blurted out, Hinata let go of his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He rushed out of the gate of the Hyuga Clan without looking back and ran towards the battlefield outside the village.
Watching her retreating back, Neji turned around and said to Hiashi, "Don't worry! Hinata will be fine. Allen has ordered people in the organization to bring Naruto Uzumaki back alive to Sound Ninja Village. So if nothing else happens, she should be with us."
"Then it's up to you! Patriarch!"
Hiashi Hyuga bent down and bowed respectfully to this junior.
He used practical actions to convey a clear signal to the entire Hyuga Clan, that is, from now on, Neji will be the supreme leader of the entire family.
