Discarded Piece

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!

Driven by self-interest, Hyuga Hiashi completely disregarded the lives of his clansmen, even spouting high-sounding rhetoric in front of Uchiha Yue and others, demonstrating the ruthlessness of his methods. However, the elite Hyuga Clan surrounding Hyuga Hiashi did not share the same aversion to Hyuga Hiashi actions as Uchiha Yue and his group. In fact, Uchiha Yue could vaguely detect a hint of fanaticism in the eyes of those elite Hyuga Clan, making him admire Uchiha Yue 'Hyuga Hiashi brainwashing techniques.

Moreover, Uchiha Yue, being a member of the Uchiha Clan, was more aware than Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki of the Hyuga Hiashi.

Undoubtedly, those abandoned Hyuga Clan ninjas were likely Hyuga Clan elders and their direct descendants. Therefore, if Hyuga Hiashi were to sacrifice the lives of the Hyuga Clan and their loyal troops, after the war, Hyuga Hiashi, as the current head of the Hyuga Clan, would be able to appear before the surviving Hyuga Clan members as a savior and completely seize power within the Hyuga Clan.

More importantly, while Hyuga Hiashi ruthlessly eliminated dissidents, he preserved the Hyuga Clan's elite forces. Therefore, even though the Hyuga Clan seemed to have lost many ninjas after the war, as long as the core of the Hyuga Clan's elite forces remained intact, and as long as Hyuga Hiashi maintained absolute power over the Hyuga Clan, the Hyuga Clan would become even stronger in the future.

So, as Uchiha Yue silently pondered the benefits Hyuga Hiashi would gain in the future, his gaze towards Hyuga Hiashi changed. At the same time, his thoughts drifted to Uchiha Yue Uchiha Fugaku. This was because Uchiha Fugaku likely shared the same idea as Hyuga Hiashi, a crucial oversight by Shimura Danzō in his plan to kill three birds with one stone.

Immediately afterwards...

Uchiha Yue, Minato Namikaze, and others who came to provide support waited in ambush of the enemy ninja, surrounded by Hyuga Hiashi and the elite Hyuga Clan. However, Uchiha Yue's mood was far from calm as he waited to ambush the enemy ninja. After all, Hyuga Hiashi was considered an enemy of Uchiha Yue's in Konoha. If Hyuga Hiashi were to successfully rise to power, Uchiha Yue would likely face targeting from Hyuga Hiashi, and even the entire Hyuga Clan.

However, Uchiha Yue had no way to stop Hyuga Hiashi taking over, because Hyuga Hiashi was full of confidence and just waiting to reap the lives of those enemy ninjas and seize absolute power over the Hyuga Clan. Just as Uchiha Yue was silently sighing in his heart that he would have another powerful enemy in Konoha in the future, Hizashi Hyuga suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Moreover, when Uchiha Yue saw Hizashi Hyuga, he found Hizashi Hyuga standing there silently with a worried expression.

Clearly, Hizashi Hyuga, as the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi, harbored resentment upon seeing his older brother use their own clan as bait.

So, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to him, Uchiha Yue came to stand in front of Hizashi Hyuga.

With a heavy pat on Hizashi Hyuga's shoulder, Uchiha Yue successfully diverted Hizashi Hyuga's attention, then asked with a smile, "Mr. Hizashi, are you unhappy?"

"Moon Lord, have you come to support us?"

Hyuga Hizashi Hyuga was so preoccupied with the Hyuga Clan's affairs that he didn't notice Uchiha Yue and the others arriving.

Immediately, after Hizashi Hyuga regained his senses, a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes. He grabbed Uchiha Yue and exclaimed happily, "Great! Tsuki-kun, now that you've come to help, have Minato and Kushina arrived too? My brother was planning to ambush the enemy ninjas here to minimize casualties among the clan's elite forces, intending to annihilate them all! Now that you've all come to help, what are we waiting for? Let's go, let's wipe out those enemy ninjas!"

"I'm afraid that won't work, Mr. Hizashi."

Hearing Hizashi Hyuga's words, Uchiha Yue sighed helplessly and said, "Your brother doesn't seem to intend to start a direct battle. Instead, he wants me and Minato to wait here and ambush the enemy ninjas. Mr. Hizashi, if you can lead your clan's elite, why don't you take them and accompany Minato and me to rescue your clan's ninjas? After all, the Hyuga Clan's ninjas are also members of Konoha, and I don't want to see them become expendable pawns!"

"Abandon... abandon the pawn!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Hizashi Hyuga's Kakuzu twitched violently, his gaze filled with resentment. Then, as Hizashi Hyuga suppressed his anger, Uchiha Yue saw Hizashi Hyuga clench his fists tightly. After taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yue slowly said to Uchiha Hizashi Hyuga, "Tsuki-kun, I truly deserve to die! I never expected that you, as a member of the Uchiha Clan, would see things so much more clearly than I do!"

"That's right, my brother abandoned our people; he only wanted to preserve our tribe's elite forces!"

"However, I, Hizashi Hyuga, cannot watch my own people become pawns!"

Then, Hizashi Hyuga's gaze shifted to Hyuga Hiashi, and he said, "Moon Lord, I'm sorry to trouble you and Minato to come and support us! Now, I'm preparing to launch an attack with our clan's elite forces. I hope you and Minato can cooperate well with us! The people of my Hyuga Clan cannot easily become pawns in someone else's hands! That person, even my brother, is no exception!"

Undoubtedly, if it weren't for the words "abandoned foes" from Uchiha Yue, which truly touched Hizashi Hyuga, he would likely have followed Hizashi Hyuga Hiashi's arrangements, after all, Hyuga Hiashi was his older brother. However, it was precisely because Uchiha Yue's words touched the softest spot in Hizashi Hyuga's Hizashi Hyuga that he prepared to defy his brother's wishes and directly lead the elite Hyuga Clan he could command to rescue those abandoned Hyuga Clan members.

Then, Uchiha Yue could see from a distance that the Hyuga brothers, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, were arguing.

Furthermore, after Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga's argument, Hizashi Hyuga's face was extremely gloomy, and he returned to Uchiha Yue alone. However, seeing Hizashi Hyuga's gloomy face, Uchiha Yue smiled and approached him. Then, just as Hizashi Hyuga was about to say something, Uchiha Yue suddenly said seriously to Hizashi Hyuga, "Mr. Hizashi, it seems you and your Hyuga Hiashi had an argument?"

"It seems that Hyuga Hiashi isn't planning to lead the Hyuga Clan's elite to rescue those abandoned children?"

Then, a slight smile appeared on Uchiha Yue's lips.

Then, just as Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a smile, he patted Hizashi Hyuga's shoulder heavily and said, "It's alright, Mr. Hizashi."

"Since Hyuga Hiashi isn't going to help you, then let me help you!"

"Now, Mr. Hizashi, are you ready to go and rescue your Hyuga Clan members?"
