"Damn it!"
Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, Hyuga Hiashi's stern and old-fashioned face remained calm, but the heart that had just been raised couldn't help but sink again.
After seeing Uchiha Jin once again powerfully suppress the original Hokage lineage, and using Orochimaru's past to once again severely hit Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation, all of this made Hyuga Hiashi feel a little happy in his heart.
Hyuga Hiashi still feels a little guilty in his heart for his biological brother whose remains were taken away by Kumogakure.
Although.
Hizashi Hyuga chose to commit suicide based on the 'persuasion' of the great elder Main Family without his knowledge.
This way Main Family will not be responsible for the leakage of Byakugan's blood, and Konoha does not need to worry about the threat of war. It is such a cost-effective thing to use such a worthless body to exchange for precious peace.
Hyuga Hiashi convinced himself this countless times in the dark night, but with Uchiha Jin's words, "Fuck Kumogakure," the last layer of fig leaf covering him was completely torn away.
Yes!
Is there any reason to let the enemy take the remains of a friend from the same village for human experimentation?
This is true even for a stranger from the same village, let alone his brother who is in the same group as him and is related by blood.
Even if Hizashi Hyuga is a branch...
But Hyuga Hiashi didn't understand this truth. Even after Hizashi Hyuga died, he thought that he couldn't hand over his body.
However, the final result is obvious, Hyuga Hiashi gave in...
As Konoha, the self-proclaimed number one wealthy family, Hyuga Clan dared to compete with the arrogant Uchiha Clan, but in the end it was under the authority of Sarutobi Hiruzen Hokage.
Yes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing at that time.
Everything seemed to be the decision of the great elder Hyuga Clan, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over Hizashi Hyuga's body smoothly. In the end, he even let out a sigh of regret in front of Hyuga Hiashi.
But is the truth really as simple as it seems?
It is true that Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did nothing at the beginning, but just because he did nothing is equivalent to doing everything well.
That was that day.
After losing the protection of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha, he chose to face the menacing threat of Kumogakure alone, or he was 'ignorant' and gained the 'hostility' of Third Hokage and the village.
Hyuga Hiashi was horrified to discover that Hyuga Clan, whom he was once so proud of, had become so weak at some point.
You must know that according to the family history records in the library, Hyuga Clan in the early days of the founding of Konoha can be said to be a super wealthy family after the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan.
And with the decline of the Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan was suppressed by Konoha. Hyuga Clan, especially Main Family, has always considered themselves superior to others.
But...
Facing the dual pressure of Kumogakure and Konoha, Hyuga Hiashi felt so powerless that he surrendered his brother's remains in humiliation, and finally recognized the fact that Hyuga Clan was declining.
Why?
Obviously Hyuga Clan did nothing wrong!
Hyuga Hiashi cannot understand that Hyuga Clan obviously did nothing wrong, but it seems to be gradually abandoned by the entire Ninja World.
When Uchiha Jin came out with the pair of Sharingan named Mangekyo, announcing to the entire Konoha the power of the Uchiha Clan bloodline, the strong sense of déjà vu of Hyuga Hiashi became more intense.
Obviously Byakugan and Sharingan are both called one of the three major eye skills by Ninja World, but why does Sharingan have such a powerful power hidden in it?
When looking at the Susanoo that looks like a giant Tailed Beast, Hyuga Clan really doesn't know what his own Byakugan and Gentle Fist can do...
Are you tickling each other?
In front of that kind of terrifying monster, whether there is a pair of eyes like Byakugan, that is, whether there is an extra chance of escape.
In addition, the only way to rely on the strong family power is to use enough manpower and material resources to fight and consume, but it is precisely this that makes Hyuga Hiashi feel even more desperate.
Except for Sarutobi Sasuke, a genius who has suddenly emerged, the other wealthy little ninja clan Hyuga Clan cannot catch up with others.
Sarutobi Clan.
At this moment, he has actually accumulated such terrifying strength silently, and hundreds of elite ninjas can be easily mobilized.
When Hyuga Hiashi was invited to discuss the fifth generation election, Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed to him the information of three thousand Sarutobi elite ninjas.
So.
Only then did Hyuga Hiashi want to forget that trace of hatred again, and instead chose to accept the goodwill from Sarutobi Hiruzen, as well as the various benefits promised to the Hyuga Clan in the future.
Who wants it.
Tsunade, who was the core of this cooperation plan, had a problem at this most critical time. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's ugly face at that time, Hyuga Hiashi felt so happy in his heart.
That's why.
Hyuga Hiashi once again raised the idea of seizing Hokage Position, after all, in his opinion at this moment.
Hyuga Clan obviously did nothing wrong!
At this moment, he is gradually weakening and being abandoned by Ninja World. This does not mean that he, the patriarch, has really done anything wrong.
It can only be said that Uchiha Clan can't afford it and can only cheat, while Sarutobi Clan has used Hokage's throne to gain an unknown amount of resources for his clan.
Therefore, under the premise that Hyuga Clan has no way to cheat, Hyuga Hiashi naturally cannot let go of this opportunity to obtain more benefits and resources for the family.
At this moment, Tsunade has a problem, and Ino-Shika-Cho has stated that it will not compete for Hokage Position.
Thinking of this month of exchanges and alliances, Hyuga Clan feels that he is most likely to gain their support and ascend to the throne of Fifth Hokage.
Hyuga Clan, who had done nothing wrong, should not have declined like this, and the family's rise must be realized again in the hands of Hyuga Hiashi.
Just.
How beautiful the ideal is, how cruel the reality is.
Hyuga Hiashi never expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so shameless and propose that Asuma Sarutobi become Fifth Hokage at this time.
On strength! On reputation!
In what way can Asuma Sarutobi compare to him Hyuga Hiashi!
But the reluctance that kept rising in Hyuga Hiashi's heart was once again completely suppressed with the support of Jiraiya and Land of Fire.
Just like when he discovered Hizashi Hyuga's body, Hyuga Hiashi once again saw that very familiar look in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were full of unwillingness, but his mouth uttered a sentence feebly.
"Hyuga Clan, willing to support Asuma Sarutobi to become Fifth Hokage!"
"Very good!"
The smile at the corner of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth became more and more curved. The embarrassment of being attacked by Uchiha Jin Yin-Yang Release seemed to have completely dissipated at this moment.
"Damn it!"
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's extremely gentle smile, Hyuga Hiashi's fists clenched a little white, knowing in his heart that Hyuga Clan's chance to rise again slipped away from his hands!
As for why Uchiha Clan is not supported?
Hyuga Hiashi, who had this thought flashing through his mind, completely abandoned this ridiculous idea the next moment.
How could Hyuga Clan, who is also from a wealthy family, surrender to Uchiha!
