After the unrelated personnel left, Hiashi's composure could no longer be maintained.
His face revealed rare anger and resentment, and he activated his Byakugan, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, when you tried to force me to my death, you didn't expect things to turn out this way, did you?"
Once hatred is formed, it can never be eliminated.
The root of his helplessness was his lack of ability. Hiashi never forgot the image of Hizashi's back as he followed Hiruzen Sarutobi after Hiizashi attacked him with a Gentle Fist.
Especially the look in his eyes when the Hizashi turned back to look at him after he left.
That was the look in Hizashi's eyes that had never appeared since he was carved into the image of the Caged Bird.
It wasn't until then that Hiashi realized that Hizashi had never changed; only he himself had. Unfortunately, by the time he understood, it was already too late.
Hiashi looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi now; he was much older than before, and his figure was no longer as upright as it once was. Most importantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was no longer the Hokage, but had become an elder of Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't show much emotional fluctuation when faced with Hiashi's questioning; under the circumstances, it was the best choice.
"Hiashi, I'm sorry for what happened back then, but now that you're an elder of Konoha, you should know that everything I've done is for Konoha!"
For Konoha?
For Konoha!
It was precisely because of this ridiculous reason that I couldn't refute it back then.
Hiashi was now furious; not only his temples but also the veins in his neck were bulging. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you are no longer the Hokage. Now, I want you to die, for the sake of Konoha!"
Hiashi immediately closed in and launched an attack on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi's strength is beyond doubt. In close combat, he can seal an enemy's Chakra points with a single strike.
In all the original works, Hiashi knew every technique that Neji Hyuga knew, and he was even more powerful than Neji.
However, no matter how fierce Hiashi's attacks were, and no matter how tightly he used the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm, he could not inflict any substantial damage on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi could easily sever all the branches of the God Tree with a single spin of his staff.
Even with the addition of Gentle Fist to Hiashi's Taijutsu, he was still no match for Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi, who easily dealt with Hiashi's attacks.
However, they did not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Hiashi, focusing mainly on defense.
While dealing with Hiashi's attack, Hiruzen Sarutobi even had the leisure to chat.
"Hiashi, don't let hatred consume you. You're just being used by Uchiha Yushu right now. Do you really want to be used like this?"
The Hiashi on the other side did not answer, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't; he didn't have the leisure to stop and answer the question.
However, this also made Hiashi clearly realize the gap between himself and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
If they can't even Hiruzen Sarutobi, it seems their previous plan to avenge Hizashi personally is doomed to fail.
After their fists clashed, Hiashi took a step back, Hiruzen Sarutobi also stopped attacking without giving chase.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you keep saying you believe in the power of bonds, but hatred? Without bonds, you understand absolutely nothing!"
Hiashi paused slightly, recalling the indescribable strength and bottomless cunning of Ren, and said coldly.
"The Hokage's name is not something you can call out carelessly. As for being used, Hiruzen Sarutobi? I don't think so. Everything I did was for Konoha!"
Then Hiashi waved his hand and said.
"Attack together!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer hesitated and began to rapidly Hand Seals, then pressed down in the void.
A burly figure appeared in the arena.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, is the enemy this time the Hyuga Clan? Isn't he from Konoha?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't answer the question, but instead said...
"Enma, transform!"
Before Hiashi and the rest of the Hyuga Clan ninja could attack, Enma was transformed into a staff and grabbed by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
While Ren was still quietly waiting for the results outside the Advisory Council.
Laboratory building.
I don't know if it was God's blessing.
Scorpion felt that today went exceptionally smoothly. Yesterday, after wandering around the laboratory building and debugging all the hidden small devices, he realized that today was going exceptionally well.
Today, I overheard an unusually large amount of information, and it was quite important.
To confirm the information, Scorpion, unusually, left the Experimental Building and took a walk around the streets, finding that the situation was no different from what he had overheard.
Furthermore, they obtained a great deal of other important information.
If Heaven grants something and you don't accept it, you will suffer the consequences.
How could we possibly miss such a golden opportunity?
