The Ugly Truth Beneath Konoha's Ruins, the Hero Who Took the Blame, the Hyuga Clan Meeting

Under the same night sky.

Some people are running desperately to their own country, while others are already sleeping peacefully with Tsunade, who is addicted to gambling, in their arms.

But some people are secretly sad.

Land of Fire.

Konoha.

The perspective gradually zoomed in, and a cry came from the Ninja Village founded by First Hokage and expanded many times. Countless people were crying and looking for their relatives and friends in the ruins.

They were lucky enough to escape on the battlefield and survive until today when Three Countries Alliance Meeting was launched. They were originally lucky, but this luck eventually turned into misfortune.

At least if you die on the battlefield, you will get a pension, but if you are killed by the statue summoned by Hyuga Hitoshi, there is no time to create any value of death.

Even if you die, you will die in vain!

It's hard to imagine what kind of night they went through.

Especially when the statue was destroyed again and again and stood up again and again, it was even more despairing.

The disaster of Nine-Tails Attack is still vivid in my mind, but at least Nine-Tails only wreaked havoc in the village for a while before Third kicked it out of the village. The area where Nine-Tails wreaked havoc was also very limited. Although people were afraid, more ninjas died.

But that stone statue is more ruthless than Nine-Tails!

As long as they are not the target of the order that requires mercy, those who dare to stand in front of it will be mercilessly crushed.

Looking down from the air, not to mention anything else, the scale of reconstruction needed after the disaster is not comparable to Nine-Tails Attack, especially the Hokage Rock Faces that has completely collapsed, as well as the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan tribes, which are completely hardest-hit areas.

It was as if Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan had a deep grudge against the stone statue. It drove its body to dig three feet into the ground, pouting out even the Ancestral Hall of the Sarutobi Clan where Third Hokage was. It even dug the ancestral grave of Sarutobi with its own hands, and raised the coffin board directly into the air.

Really spread the ashes!

If it hadn't been for the strength of Lord Fugaku and Uchiha Clan in the end, I'm afraid that the statue of immortality would have killed everyone present!

But despite this, Konoha has completely changed after experiencing a great battle. The ruined and unrecognizable village gives people a sense of deadness and silence under the illumination of nightlight.

The collapsed houses crushed countless people trying to escape the disaster. Almost all the ninjas who participated in the battle were injured all over their bodies. Those who were not on the list but wanted to protect the village died crippled.

After the war, there were fewer familiar faces.

After experiencing this disaster, the living people became more numb.

after all.

For Konoha, and for the villagers and ninjas here, this is a completely unforeseen disaster.

they seem

In fact, this kind of thing can be avoided.

Think about it carefully and recall it carefully. When the traitor Tsunade hugged the man, the man just stared down calmly and then slowly left.

Who wants to stop people?!

Suddenly, several eyes looked at Jiraiya, including a certain Civilian Ninja that Jiraiya desperately saved.

"Putting the efforts of our ancestors into the village"

Jiraiya, who had not realized the seriousness of the problem yet, clenched his fists tightly. He stared at the ruins around him and the gnashing teeth of the villagers holding the corpses and crying.

If he had some appreciation for Hyuga Hitoshi before, now the two have an undying hatred!

All right.

Perhaps it is only now that he, who has been persuading others to put down their hatred for Mutual Understanding, cannot understand Hyuga Hitoshi at all.

"That bastard! He ruined everything!"

Jiraiya, who had been fighting fiercely all night, had tears in his eyes, and pushed everything on Hyuga Hitoshi. He is a devil and the sinner who brought disaster to Konoha!

After all, he is not Naruto Uzumaki, he is just a tool man who was guided by a toad to find the reincarnation of Asura. But you can always trust Asura. Believe that even without the guidance of Jiraiya, he will most likely be able to forgive Nagato who destroyed Konoha.

But Naruto can do it, but Jiraiya can't. He asks others to let go of their hatred, but he can't. The confused hero seems like a clown at this moment.

"Are you trying to laugh me to death Clan Head?"

Konoha's only savior, Fugaku of Mangekyo, Itachi's father smiled. He glanced at Jiraiya with disdain, then looked at the old Village Chief who was attracted by his words, as well as the leaders of the various races who had just fought side by side.

"Isn't it the reason why this situation happened, that we are trash who can't even protect our clansmen?!"

A layer of stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Uchiha Fugaku's words are harsh and completely deny them!

Even if he is Konoha's savior now, he shouldn't say such things!

"Isn't it?"

Fugaku smiled coldly, walked step by step in front of Jiraiya, and looked at his Hokage Position competitor. After showing off, Fugaku's thinking was always very clear, and his IQ had already occupied a high ground.

"Look around!"

He pointed around.

"This is just a casual blow from brother Hitoshi. Clan Head! He even has the power to take away the clan members and summon the moon!"

As if proud, Uchiha Fugaku sprayed Jiraiya's face with saliva.

"Imagine if this power belonged to Konoha! What would it be like?"

Summoning the moon, he can summon a stone statue that is as immortal as Nine-Tails. It can also absorb the power of Dust Release and bounce it back if it is the power of Konoha.

A realistic and thoughtful question was placed in front of them.

If they had given even the faintest support to the Hyuga Clan when he was being treated unfairly, and helped Hyuga Clan from the perspective of a member of Konoha, would the current outcome have changed?

Yes.

Hitoshi Clan Head even said that if the village needs it, he can even lead Hyuga Clan to win the war!

I'm afraid that at that time he was already thinking about whether to leave!

If everyone had been tougher at that time and had the consciousness to fight to the end for the village, with the Hyuga Clan's terrifying combat power, he would definitely be the winner!

But now.

"Now, you force people to leave."

Fugaku looked sarcastic, ignoring Third Hokage's livid face, and just stared at the ashamed-looking leaders of various ethnic groups and the Konoha people with complicated expressions.

Obviously, people's minds have been completely distorted by Fugaku.

"What nonsense!"

But there were not no sober people. Jiraiya pointed angrily at the surroundings and immediately scolded them.

"Hyuga Hitoshi, who ruined the hard work of our ancestors, and Hyuga Clan, who brought pain to Konoha, had no intention of doing their best for Konoha from the beginning! If they had shown such strength during the war, the village would definitely protect Hyuga Clan, and would definitely refuse to use Byakugan as a bargaining chip during the peace talks."

"Yes, you also said that you are showing such strength, but is there any point in doing so?"

Fugaku sneered. Sure enough, no one can avoid double standards.

"Aren't you indirectly admitting that once there is a problem in the village, you can use the average ninja clan Kekkei Genkai in exchange for peace? Only those with high value deserve to be protected by the village?"

This is reality, even Jiraiya acquiesces to this!

But once this bloody truth is heard by the ninja clan Clan Head who make up Konoha, it will only make them feel that they have paid wrongly and that this village is not worth their efforts!

Because they can never be stronger than Hyuga, nor can they show the strength of Hyuga Hitoshi. The fact is that in the eyes of the village, Hyuga Clan who only has ordinary Byakugan is also a expendable target!

What about them?

They are also members of Konoha who worked hard for the village and shed blood and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

But with Lord Jiraiya, does it mean that they tacitly agree that they can give up?

"That's enough, Jiraiya."

It's easy to be fooled. Inuzuka Tsume, who is still young at this moment, didn't even call him an adult, interrupting Jiraiya's rebuttal.

"If you hadn't insisted on arguing with Hyuga Hitoshi and asked him to let go of Tsunade, he would have already left!"

Her words reached the end, and she stated the problem very simply and clearly. In an instant, in the shocked eyes of Jiraiya, she even gained the approval of most people!

"That's right, they are leaving, and he also said that he should let the hot-tempered Hitoshi, Clan Head, try to understand Tsuchikage and Raikage. Isn't that the same as swearing?"

"I know Hitoshi Clan Head. He once saved me on the battlefield. If his ideas were not belittled, he would definitely not be so angry. After all, Konoha is the place where he was born and raised. How could he destroy Konoha?"

After all, they don't know whether Hyuga Hitoshi will release the stone statue in the end, so Jiraiya is the one who has determined the blame.

"People have left and you have to argue with you, Mutual Understanding? So does Lord Jiraiya understand Hitoshi Clan Head now? Do you understand why he did this? If you follow Lord Jiraiya's idea is that we should put down our hatred and find a way to invite Hyuga Clan, who is of high 'value' and has strong fighting power, to come back and continue to be a part of Konoha?"

"Just so, when Konoha was established, First Hokage made Uchiha Madara let go of hatred, and also allowed Uchiha to join Konoha. Since Lord Jiraiya If Will of Fire is determined, why don't you personally go out and make peace with Lord Hitoshi? Invite them back to Konoha? What First can do, can you also do it if he thinks the same way?"

"Don't be kidding, Lord Jiraiya is not as capable as First. If Master First were still alive, Nine-Tails Attack would not have happened, but look at Lord Jiraiya and Nine-Tails Attack and you don't even know where he is!"

"Where else? Maybe Brothel is collecting the material. Saving people is not as important as making money by writing pornographic books."

"."

Sounds like this became louder and louder until Jiraiya himself was completely drowned.

And he just watched all of this in shock, as if he couldn't believe that these people were the friendly villagers and ninjas he remembered. When did this village full of sunshine and warmth become like this?

"So, do you understand what they mean?"

Fugaku looked heavy, glanced at Uchiha Satoshi who nodded slightly to him without leaving any trace in the distance, and then continued to fire.

Don't know when it will start.

It seems that after getting to know Hyuga Hitoshi and offering his wife and son to him, the castrated Fugaku completed his own sublimation. Until now, he is becoming more and more proficient in using Power of Morality.

After all, Jiraiya is still young, and he still firmly believes in his beliefs, so he will argue with Fugaku.

If he had experienced a severe beating from Power of Morality, he would definitely shut up and pretend to be dead like Third and Danzo next to him.

Because they know that even if they refute and reverse the rhythm, they can't defeat Uchiha Fugaku who is in the limelight and speaks as the savior of Konoha.

Seeing Fugaku spraying the whole audience, but getting everyone's gratitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen just felt that this scene looked very familiar, but fortunately now he was just a bystander, and if he stayed low-key and hid, he might not be implicated by his disciples.

It's no wonder Sarutobi lost his temper at this moment, look what he went through this night!

First, he was suspected of using the stone statue to kill Hokage Rock, and then he was ordered to protect the villagers, so he naturally failed in his duty. The stone statue was not Nine-Tails, and Ancestor Hamura, who had no pain, went on to kill his people crazily in front of him.

The powerlessness of watching his clan members die directly caused him to hold back his internal injuries. What made him even more desperate was that later, despite Jiraiya's dissuasion, he went crazy and attacked, which caused the monkey demon king to be severely injured. He was forced to vomit blood by Senior Hamura and had no choice but to retreat. Just looking at that, he was not far away from death.

There is no real indestructible diamond. Even if there were, it would not exist in this world.

Sarutobi, who had lost Enma, was even more powerless to stop Ancestor Hamura, and could only watch one clan member after another being crushed to ashes.

In just one night, Ninja Bear aged more than ten years.

Even if they do not admit the existence of human beings, those with weak beliefs will have an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and fear the strong. Practitioners will try their best to overcome it, and ultimately develop a strong heart.

But sadly, most people don't have this quality.

So after seeing the powerful power of Hyuga Hitoshi, they only dared to hide their hatred, muttering curses in their hearts, but did not dare to threaten revenge.

This is reality. After all, if that powerful man hears it and smashes the moon into their faces, how will they deal with it then?

Thinking about it now, they all feel scared. Driving the moon is enough power to destroy Shinobi World!

What kind of existence have they lost?

If Hitoshi Clan Head becomes Hokage, I'm afraid Konoha will be stronger than when First was in power! You must know that Hitoshi Clan Head's bad temper does not mean kowtow to others, it must be someone else kowtows to him!

This power was given up by them themselves.

Everyone was saddened by this, and they completely clarified their thoughts and knew what they had done.

There is an emotion called regret.

But they know that even if they try to save it now, there is a high probability that they will not succeed.

Konoha, lost the opportunity to rise, but became weaker.

So what they need now is a target to vent to!

And Jiraiya, who stopped Hyuga Hitoshi from leaving and "forced" others to do something, is the best person to vent to.

But Jiraiya is Jiraiya after all.

Some people are born not to be depressed by some setbacks, and they may even regard such things as their own tempering, and then strive to do better next time. For such people, it is even less likely that there will be a broken Daoist heart.

The perseverance in his bones is undeniable.

Jiraiya is this kind of person.

He looked around at the crowd who used the most vicious words to attack him, but responded with a gentle smile. What made him happy was that not everyone lost their minds and attacked him, and there were still people in the village who supported him.

Feeling down is a given.

But after the collapse, he stood up again. He believed that these kind people would eventually understand him and distinguish true good from evil.

But.

Bah!

"He actually smiled at me!"

A furious aunt, whose son and husband died, threw the egg directly into Jiraiya's face. She was so carried away that she seemed to have forgotten that it was Konoha's legendary Legendary Sannin.

She just felt that the man's smile just now disgusted her!

There was a death in her family, how could you laugh?

When the egg went down, it was like igniting some kind of switch, and countless dirt flew towards Jiraiya's face.

All right.

At this moment, even Jiraiya himself found that his firm belief had been shaken. He was too happy before.

With a flash of confusion in his eyes, he finally discovered the reason why Tsunade left the village.

After all, he is not the protagonist. When the setbacks are too intensive, it is actually unknown whether his Daoist heart is stable.

The miserable night will eventually pass.

When the new sunshine shines on the earth, the noisy mutual accusations, the pain of grief and anger, the silent numbness, the dried blood on the ground and the neglected corpses in the ruined Konoha finally converge into the most beautiful picture of Land of Fire.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Hyuga Hitoshi has his own understanding of sadness.

But if Hyuga Hitoshi knew what happened to Konoha after he left, then he would definitely feel happy.

The moon has its own way of recording day and night.

So when Hitoshi Clan Head, who had worked hard all night, appeared in the conference room, it must have been three o'clock in the morning during the Earth time period. The overworked Tsunade was still catching up on his sleep, but the energetic Hitoshi Clan Head had already started a new round of work.

But this time it's serious.

At this moment, the huge conference room was full of people.

Among them are the heads of various departments of the Hyuga Clan, as well as subordinates with good abilities selected from the Otsutsuki Clan.

Standing at the door, Hyuga Hitoshi straightened the Kaguya on his belt, strode in, and then sat on the main seat facing the eyes of the tribesmen.

"Clan Head!"

"Lord Hitoshi."

"Hitoshi-kun."

"My god be safe!"

"."

The names are a bit inconsistent, but it is estimated that they will be accurately positioned after this meeting, so this will not be a big problem.

Hyuga Hitoshi nodded to his subordinates, and then glanced at Mabui who was listening next to him.

Even if you have been an opponent before, you have to admit that Mabui is indeed very capable. She must have been adapting to the secretary's job when he and Tsunade were doing morning exercises.

But after all, she is a newbie, and she still has a lot to learn. For the time being, Uzumaki Reina, who also has secretarial talents, will lead her.

Giving Reina a look, Uzumaki Reina understood and handed over the information in her hand.

"Today's meeting has a lot of content and a lot to discuss, but there is one key point that needs to be resolved first."

Hyuga Hitoshi snapped his fingers, [Dark Eye] was turned on, and the map of the Shinobi World continent appeared above the conference room. This was the latest model that had undergone his own improvements, and it could be seen clearly from any direction.

"About the tribe's overall bloodline ascension plan, as well as the arrangements for the Sun Immortal Seal to replace the caged bird, Minister Snake will summarize and supplement it in a subsequent report. The leader of the tribe will not go into details here."

"In addition, for the name of the forces that Hyuga Clan and Otsutsuki Clan will belong to in the future, for the time being, Clan Head prefers the word Yang God. Of course, if there is a more suitable name, I can add it (crazy hint)."

And now.

What needs to be determined is something else.

Hyuga Hitoshi points to the map overhead.

"The focus of this meeting is only one, and that is where to take root."

The so-called founding of a country naturally requires territorial scope, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"What I, Clan Head, mean is to take advantage of this period of time when the overall strength of the tribe has been completed to determine the preliminary scope of the territory. Then, I, Clan Head, will go down to see the specific situation in person."

"Of course, the final layout must be like this."

Hyuga Hitoshi stretched out his hand in a circle, and then turned the entire Shinobi World into a sphere of influence, which made all his subordinates tremble with fear.

"But in the early days, we didn't have that many people. No matter how big the place is, it's impossible to cover everything. Development takes time."

"So don't go too far, just create a base outside the moon. You are responsible for recommending the location, and leave the rest to this Clan Head to judge."

At this point, the theme of the meeting was directly determined.

Mabui, who was standing next to Uzumaki Reina, was completely stunned.

Him.

He really wants to build a country!

Watching her look around, she found that everyone took this for granted.

They ignore what happened to Land of Whirlpools and still firmly believe that they can succeed.

This gives Mabui a sense of absurdity.

But when I think about his powerful strength, it seems that all this is natural.

Hyuga

Maybe it can actually create a miracle?
