Then Kill Them! Kill Until Konoha Has No Uchiha Left! Kill Until Konoha Has No Hyuga Left!

The Third Hokage had yet to take a stance on Kumogakure's demands.

That left the Hyuga Clan increasingly on edge.

Hand Hizashi over?

They couldn't bear to.

Sell out the Uchiha?

They couldn't bring themselves to do that, either.

Defect?

"...What?"

Fugaku was stunned.

He had never heard anything about this.

That was hardly surprising. The Uchiha had already been pushed out of Konoha's center of power, and the Third Hokage had deliberately kept the matter secret. All anyone knew was that this was
