Seeing the lifeless looks on Hyuga Teru and the others' faces, Hayato knew they had set their hearts on dying.
But there was nothing he could do. He certainly could not speak for the Main Family, yet he did not want to watch these clansmen throw their lives away for nothing.
"Teru, you're being too naive. We're all people of Konoha. If you assassinate members of the Main Family, do you think Lord Hokage won't hold you accountable?"
"The Main Family head is still alive. As long as he wills it, you have no chance of succeeding."
Hayato tried his best to persuade them.
But Hyuga Teru could not take in a word of it.
"The clan head was taken away by Lord Hokage. This is our only chance."
Hayato could not handle this matter either.
He could only have some of the calmer clansmen hold Hyuga Teru and the others back.
But they could not think of any other solution.
Then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
The disturbance spread inside as well.
"Lord Hizashi is back!"
"Bastard! What nonsense are you talking about? Lord Hizashi is already dead!"
"It really is Lord Hizashi!!!"
"My heavens!!!"
"Lord Hizashi is alive!!"
Amid the waves of commotion, Hizashi parted the crowd and walked in.
Everyone gradually fell silent, their gazes all fixed on Hizashi.
Hizashi seemed like an entirely different person from the corpse that had been lying on the ground earlier.
He had used his forehead protector to cover his forehead. His Caged Bird Seal was gone, and there was nothing visible there anymore.
Everyone was astonished that Hizashi had come back to life.
But more than that, they were happy. Nearly all the older members of the Branch Family had died.
Without a leader, they had all been lost.
