Annoyed Hiashi
"Um?"
No sooner had Uchiha Fugaku's Hyuga Hiashi twitched violently several times, and his expression darkened considerably.
Within Konoha, the conflicts within the Hyuga Clan had escalated to a fever pitch. The Main Family, Hyuga Clan by Hyuga Hiashi, and the branch family, led by Hizashi Hyuga, were practically divided into two Hyuga Clan. Undoubtedly, the fact that the conflict between the Main Family and branch Hyuga Clan Shimura Danzō. However, Shimura Danzō was very skillful in his manipulations, preventing the Hyuga Clan from truly splitting in two.
Otherwise, if the Hyuga Clan were truly divided in two because of Shimura Danzō's actions, then even the instigator, Shimura Danzō, might face considerable trouble.
Well, one Hyuga Clan is relatively easy to manage, but two Hyuga Clan are a different story.
Of course, there is another reason why the Hyuga Clan did not split into two: the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan possesses the Caged Bird Technique, which allows them to control the branch families of the Hyuga Clan.
Even so, very few people talked about the internal divisions within the Hyuga Clan in front of Hyuga Hiashi.
After all, discussing the split within the Hyuga Clan in front of Hyuga Hiashi is tantamount to slapping Hyuga Hiashi and the Hyuga Clan in the face, and few people in Konoha would dare to do that.
However, among those in Konoha who dared to the Hyuga Clan in front of Hyuga Hiashi, there was only one: Uchiha Fugaku.
Before the meeting even began, Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Fugaku, so Uchiha Fugaku shouldn't be surprised if he retaliated.
However, neither the Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Fugaku could have imagined...
Just as they were discussing this topic, Hizashi Hyuga arrived at the Hokage Office meeting place with members of the Hyuga Clan family.
Seeing his younger brother Hizashi Hyuga, Hyuga Hiashi felt a surge of anger rise to his chest and abdomen. If Hyuga Hiashi hadn't been in the Hokage Office, he might have exploded right there. However, when he heard the surrounding chatter, Hyuga Hiashi still snorted angrily and then turned and fled from Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Fugaku and the other Uchiha Clan and the Hizashi Hyuga branch Hyuga Clan.
Clearly, Uchiha Fugaku's taunts and the arrival of Hizashi Hyuga and the branch family members of the Hyuga Clan had completely enraged Hyuga Hiashi.
Therefore, even as the Hyuga Hiashi head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi felt too ashamed to remain in front of Uchiha Fugaku the moment Hizashi Hyuga arrived with the branch family members of the Hyuga Clan.
It's important to understand that Uchiha Fugaku provoked Hyuga Hiashi and brought up the issue of the Hyuga Clan's split, it might have only slightly embarrassed Hyuga Hiashi. However, when Hizashi Hyuga later brought members of the Hyuga Clan's branch family to the meeting, it was a blatant slap in Hyuga Hiashi's face. After all, from all perspectives, if Konoha wanted to hold a meeting, inviting only the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan would have been sufficient.
Now, even Hizashi Hyuga has been invited, and he's even brought members of the Hyuga Clan's branch family with him. Isn't that blatantly telling everyone in Konoha that the Hyuga Clan has split?
From a biased perspective, Konoha was essentially acknowledging the two heads of the Hyuga Clan, which is why they specifically invited the Hyuga brothers, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, to represent the Main Family and branch family respectively.
Therefore, when Hyuga Hiashi left in anger, he was not only angry at Uchiha Fugaku's provocation, but also annoyed by the choice made by the Konoha leadership.
At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi felt an even greater sense of crisis. He felt that if things continued like this, the Hyuga Clan would eventually split into the Main Family and the branch family.
Afterwards, sitting in the conference room, Hyuga Hiashi secretly considered how to take control of his Hyuga Clan.
In particular, when Hyuga Hiashi saw Uchiha Fugaku and Hizashi Hyuga enter the conference room together, a glint of murderous intent flashed in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes!
However, Hyuga Hiashi was clearly out of anger and had lost his temper, which is why he thought that Hizashi Hyuga had ulterior motives for bringing Uchiha Fugaku into the meeting room with him.
In reality, Uchiha Fugaku only talked to Uchiha Yue Hizashi Hyuga, and did not discuss Hyuga Hiashi or the Hyuga Clan.
As for Hizashi Hyuga, he had only been in the Hokage Office for a short time, so naturally he was unaware of the previous conflict between Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku.
Immediately afterwards...
Just as the meeting was about to begin, Hizashi Hyuga, who had finished speaking with Uchiha Fugaku and was also unaware of the Hizashi Hyuga, deliberately walked over and sat down next to Hyuga Hiashi, intending to dispel the rumors circulating in Konoha about the Hyuga Clan's impending split. However, as soon as Hizashi Hyuga sat down, an angry Hyuga Hiashi snorted coldly and moved to another seat.
The moment Hyuga Hiashi changed seats, everyone present fell silent, including Hizashi Hyuga.
At that moment, almost everyone present at the meeting was secretly wondering: was Hyuga Hiashi's attitude a sign that the Hyuga Clan was truly on the verge of splitting apart?
Then, the Third Hokage clearly noticed the awkwardness in the Hokage Office meeting room and quickly tried to ease the tension before starting the meeting.
Immediately afterwards...
The Third Hokage briefly discussed the matter of Uchiha Yue the heads of various clans and the high-ranking officials of Konoha. The next step was to discuss how to handle the situation.
Unexpectedly, just as the Third Hokage finished speaking, and as everyone present was about to discuss how to help Uchiha Yue, a sentence suddenly reached the ears of everyone present, plunging them into silence once again.
"Uchiha Yue, didn't he become missing-nin? Why are we still discussing things about him? Why don't we just send out the Anbu to capture or kill him?"
The person who could say these words at this moment is undoubtedly Hiashi Hyuga, who has a deep grudge against Uchiha Yue and is currently in Hyuga Hiashi of anger.
If Hyuga Hiashi were in a calm state, he certainly wouldn't have said those things here.
After all, among those present were the powerful Third Hokage, Orochimaru (Sannin), Jiraiya, Tsunade, many elite Jonin of Konoha, and Uchiha Fugaku of the Uchiha Clan, all of whom supported Uchiha Yue. Therefore, a composed Hyuga Hiashi certainly knew that his words at this moment would instantly offend nearly half of Konoha's high-ranking officials. But who would have thought that Hyuga Hiashi was angered by matters within his clan and resentful because of Hizashi Hyuga?
And so, in this situation, Hyuga Hiashi uttered a remark that only an idiot would say.
As soon as Hyuga Hiashi finished speaking, Tsunade, as Uchiha Yue's teacher, launched a counterattack to protect her disciple!
"Hyuga Hiashi, you're someone who can't even hold onto the position of clan leader, shut up!"
Whether my disciple is missing-nin or not is none of your business to judge, you piece of trash!
