An Uchiha Clan member who was away from the clan attacked Kushina's delivery room, killing the Third Hokage's wife on the spot.
Although Minato Namikaze later defeated that man, his body disappeared as well. Both men suspected he had survived.
Nawaki suspected that when Madara Uchiha was killed by Hyuga Akira, he must have left a successor behind, and that this successor was the one who attacked Konoha.
But the Uchiha had indeed aroused his suspicions now. After all, the attacker wore a mask, so he might be hiding within the Uchiha Clan.
Although he had helped the Uchiha out of their predicament, he still harbored suspicions toward the Uchiha Clan.
"I have another announcement," Nawaki said gravely.
Beside him, Minato Namikaze wore a conflicted expression. Were they really going to let this fellow occupying Nawaki's body do whatever he pleased?
The only good news was that he genuinely wanted to develop Konoha.
Nawaki's voice rang out slowly. "Hyuga Akira is hereby stripped of his Shinobi qualifications, barred from all Shinobi activities, and demoted to a civilian."
"Also, Hyuga Akira, reveal the Nine-Tails' whereabouts."
These words made everyone's pupils constrict as they exchanged looks. Did this Hokage know what he was saying?
That was Konoha's pillar of support, and he was simply being dismissed?
"Where is Hyuga Akira?!" Nawaki looked around, then suddenly asked with a frown.
He was issuing orders, yet Hyuga Akira had not even appeared.
Everyone else searched the surroundings as well, trying to spot Hyuga Akira.
Unfortunately, he had never come today in the first place.
"Lord Hokage, Lord Akira hasn't come today?" a Shinobi spoke up.
This made Asura, who controlled Nawaki's body, look extremely displeased.
A mere human.
How dare he!! Ignore me like this!!
Hyuga Akira had already openly broken with Asura.
