?"What?!!"
"They went too far!!"
"This must not be agreed to!!"
As soon as Hyuga Elder finished speaking, the surrounding Hyuga Clan ninjas made angry protests one after another, while Hyuga Hiashi, the person involved in the incident, remained silent after hearing the words.
"It seems like this is the only way..."
After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hiashi spoke, with a decisive tone in his tone, "If I can save the entire village by sacrificing just one person..."
"Don't worry yet, Hiashi."
Hyuga Hiashi was mid-sentence, but was interrupted by Hyuga Elder, "Don't act rashly. Hyuga Clan's Kekkei Genkai is an important trump card in this village. Main Family's mission is to protect this bloodline forever."
"I know this is important, but do we want to plunge the village into war again?"
Hyuga Hiashi, who has been instilled in the family mission and Will of Fire by her village and family since she was a child, said excitedly.
"I understand, of course we cannot let the village get involved in war again..."
Hyuga Elder said, turning his gaze to Hizashi Hyuga behind him, "That's why we have separate families... Let Hizashi deal with those people for you!"
"What?! This..."
Hearing Hyuga Elder's words, Hyuga Hiashi was so shocked that he looked at the silent Hizashi Hyuga behind him.
"Hizashi He has also agreed..."
Hyuga Elder spoke slowly, as if the person to be sacrificed was not his son at all, but just an insignificant name.
"But don't they want the secret of Byakugan?!"
"If Hizashi dies, Byakugan will also be sealed. I'm afraid Land of Lightning won't agree so easily, right?!"
Hyuga Hiashi said with some hesitation, "And if we are asked to hand over the body of Cloud Village Third Raikage, the disciple of Master Third Hokage probably won't agree, right?"
"Hmph, they probably had this in mind and made such a request to us..."
Elder Hyuga Clan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "So as long as we pretend to agree and hand over Hizashi Hyuga who looks the same as you, they will have nothing to say."
"As for Third Raikage's body... Lord Hokage will naturally convince Crimson Feather."
"But..." Hiashi still seemed to be hesitant. Hizashi was his biological brother after all, and he was the one who killed the Cloud Ninja messenger, not Hizashi.
"Don't hesitate any more Hiashi."
Elder Hyuga Clan stared at the hesitant Hiashi and said again, "This is how our ancestors preserved the bloodline of the Hyuga Clan. Even if they are biological brothers, they must be cruelly abandoned when necessary! This is the fate of the Hyuga Clan!"
"Damn..."
Hiashi clenched his fists, feeling a deep sense of unwillingness and powerlessness.
The scene fell into silence for a while, and finally, Hizashi Hyuga, who was standing behind Elder Hyuga Clan, came out.
"Where is the usually tough Mr. Hiashi?"
Hizashi seemed to have a fake smile on his face, looking at the brother in front of him who had a different fate from his own since birth, "Why are you so timid today..."
"This matter is of great importance, how can it be so easy..."
Hiashi's eyes suddenly widened mid-sentence, and he covered his stomach and fell to the floor - it turned out that Hizashi suddenly took action while he was talking and punched him in the stomach.
"Just let me go."
He made a sneak attack and knocked down his twin brother Hiashi, only to see Hizashi speak calmly.
"What on earth are you talking about Hizashi? You still have a son named Neji... how could you choose to die for the Main Family?!"
This sudden change shocked everyone present, and Hiashi, who fell to the ground, had a look of disbelief on his face.
"That's not the case."
Hizashi glanced at everyone present and said to himself, "To be honest, up until today, I have always hated Main Family... But what I did today was not to protect Main Family, but to protect my brother and the village I love."
"For me, this is the first time I have the freedom to choose, even if it means choosing to die."
"Since I was born, I have not been able to choose my own destiny. Neji has always seen me as an incompetent me."
Hizashi continued calmly, "So I figured it out. I hope that after I die, please tell Neji for me that his father did not choose to die to protect Main Family, but to protect Neji, his brother and relatives, and the entire Konoha..."
Hearing Hizashi's words, everyone present was moved, and Third Hokage also fell into silence.
"No, I don't agree."
At this moment, a clear voice broke the silence of the scene.
Everyone looked up and saw that a young man with white hair and black clothes had appeared in the Hyuga Clan Main Family's interview room without knowing it, with a sleeping little girl in his arms.
"Hinata?!"
Seeing Yu holding his daughter Hinata suddenly appear, Hyuga Hiashi fell to the ground and his eyes widened in surprise.
He had sent so many people out to search but there was no news. He originally thought that Hinata had been taken out of the village by Cloud Ninja, but he did not expect that he would be rescued by Yakushi Hane, a disciple of Third Hokage.
When did this guy... appear?
Third Hokage, who was sitting in the seat, was stunned when he saw Yu appearing out of thin air while holding a little girl, completely avoiding his awareness.
This kind of appearance without warning reminded him of Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Flying Thunder God Technique who had sacrificed before.
"Since when..."
"Konoha is so incompetent and cowardly that he can only rely on sacrificing innocent ninjas in his own village in exchange for so-called peace?"
Ignoring the gazes of everyone present, Yu suddenly appeared with Hinata in his arms and stared directly at Third Hokage in front of him.
"What did you say?!"
Yu's words instantly aroused the anger of all Konoha people present, especially Konoha High Command Utatane Koharu who was sitting next to Third Hokage shouted sharply.
"Yakushi Hane! How can you talk to Lord Hokage like this!"
Before Third Hokage could speak, Hokage Advisor Mitokado Homura on the other side could not help but frown.
Facing the questioning from the two Konoha High Command elders, Yu didn't even raise his eyelids and still stared straight at Third Hokage.
"Yu, you don't know something."
"Although we defeated Land of Lightning this time, due to the consumption accumulated by Third Shinobi World War and what happened three years ago, our village really cannot bear the impact of another war..."
Hearing Yu's question, Third Hokage did not get angry, but sighed and explained to him.
"But I can't accept this!"
"If we can't even protect the ninjas in our own village for the sake of so-called peace, then why did we go through life and death on the battlefield? What's the point of such peace?!"
Looking sharply into Third Hokage's eyes, Yu's attitude was uncompromising.
