Chapter 108 Passing by without Entering
Chapter 108 Passing by without Entering
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu and their group rushed towards the Hyuga family with great momentum, trying to put pressure on them, but they were stopped before they even entered the gate!
Although the team of Hyuga ninjas guarding the gate were quite respectful, they were very determined to stop Hiruzen and his men, saying that before so many people could enter the Hyuga clan territory, they needed to ask for permission from the clan leader first.
"What on earth do the Hyuga clan want to do by stopping the Hokage and the elders?"
Shimura Danzo was very experienced in intruding into people's homes. He thrust forward with a gloomy old face and opened fire directly at the Hyuga family's guarding ninjas.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, watching his old friend exert pressure, but his slightly narrowed eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Today, they attacked the Hyuga family with great momentum, and all the big families in Konoha saw it. This was also a means for them to show their strength and intimidate other families.
There must be many families using various means to explore the outskirts of the Hyuga clan's territory now. If they can't even enter the Hyuga clan's territory, it would be a joke.
Faced with Shimura Danzo's angry rebuke, the guarding Hyuga members were a little embarrassed, but still insisted that it was not convenient to enter the clan territory now and they needed to wait for approval.
"In Konoha Village, where can't the Hokage go? Where is your clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi? Let him come out! So many of us are here, but Hyuga Hiashi doesn't show up. Does the Hyuga clan even respect the Hokage?"
After being repeatedly humiliated, Shimura Danzo's expression became terrifyingly ferocious, and his roar became even louder.
"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, but I'm afraid Hyuga Hiashi won't be able to come out to see you."
In the clan territory, Hinata Shi and Hinata Lei came with dozens of people to support and formed a standoff with Hiruzen and his men.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows were furrowed tightly, "Has the Hyuga family's tradition become like this? The branch family directly calls the clan leader by his name, and Hiashi himself doesn't come forward, but lets the branch family come out to stop it?
Send someone to inform the Hyuga clan leader immediately. I will wait here. I want to see how long he will leave me here!"
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not willing to wait here foolishly. The situation of the Hyuga family was too strange. He had just sent someone to notify Mito Kado En to be prepared to take action at any time.
He didn't want another riot to happen at this time, but if he retreated in the current situation, he would just abdicate as the Hokage.
After another minute of stalemate, Danzo could no longer hold back and roared as he was about to lead his men in.
"Hokage-sama has arrived. We are sorry for not coming to greet you. Please don't get excited."
Before the words of persuasion were fully finished, Hinata Feng's figure appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others like a flash of light.
"What does the Hyuga family mean by sending another branch family here? Are they really planning to..."
Danzo stopped talking halfway because he was shocked by the scene before him.
"Lord Patriarch!"
The Hyuga clan members present all bowed to Hinata Feng, each with a very serious attitude. This bizarre scene made Danzo pause in his preparations for attack.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo were full of questions. What the hell was going on? A branch family actually became the patriarch of the Hyuga family. Were all the main family members dead?
After exchanging a glance, Danzo launched another charge, "What are you going to do? Do you think we are fools? You can just arrange someone to pretend to be the Hyuga clan leader!"
Danzo's words instantly made the atmosphere in the field freeze, and the Hyuga clan members stared at him with angry eyes.
"You misunderstood. With the honor of the Hyuga family as proof, Master Feng is indeed the new head of the Hyuga clan."
Seeing this situation, Hinata Lei quickly tried to smooth things over.
Although Hyuga Rai was from a branch family, he was also a jonin in the village, and his words, backed by his family's honor, were highly credible. However, his words were so bizarre that Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others felt as if detonating tags were exploding in their heads.
At the same time, there were suddenly sounds of dogs barking and insects flying in the forest.
In just a few moments, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind had turned seventeen or eighteen corners of thought. Hinata Feng became the new clan leader, so what about Hinata Hiashi and the other elders of the main clan?
As usual, Danzo took on the task of arguing directly, "How can you be the clan leader? What about Hyuga Hiashi and the other clan members?"
Facing Danzo's advance, Hinata Feng was not angry at all. He explained with a smile: "It is like this. Seven days ago, the former clan leader Hinata Hiashi suddenly had an idea and wanted to compete with the branch family ninjas in strength.
You also know that we cannot refuse the enthusiasm of the Zong family, so we can only muster up the courage to experience the strength of Lord Rizu.
I don't know how, but the clan leader was defeated by me. The other clan elders didn't believe it, and I defeated them one by one."
Hinata Feng sighed insincerely and continued, "Well, maybe it's because they've been served for too long and haven't had much exercise, so I got a good advantage.
After this round of competition, the head of the Hiashi clan and the elders of the main clan found that they were not strong enough to protect the clan and guard Konoha, and they all felt very ashamed.
So they decided to entrust me with the important task of clan leader. I worked hard to improve myself and all went into seclusion to practice.
Now they are all very hardworking, often working hard."
Sarutobi Hiruzen and others frowned when they heard Hinata Feng's words.
While some of the words sounded strange and had a strange and unpleasant familiarity to them, the meaning behind Hinata Kaze's words was clear.
The Hyuga family experienced a rebellion, and the power of the main family was seized by the branch family.
"No, this cannot be allowed. A fifteen-year-old Chunin serving as the Hyuga clan leader is ridiculous!"
The first to take action this time was Utatane Koharu. Being old and weak, she attached more importance to hierarchy than anyone else and could not tolerate such acts of rebellion.
If Hinata Feng is recognized as the leader, some people in the Utane family will inevitably have doubts.
"You actually changed it without the Hokage's consent..."
Utane Koharu was so angry that she suddenly remembered halfway through her words that changing the clan leader did not seem to require the Hokage's consent, and she only needed to report it afterwards.
"What? The change of clan leader actually needs to be reported to Hokage-sama?
I'm sorry, I was born into such a low social class that I didn't even know that the village could freely decide who would be the head of each family. I'm so sorry."
The fake panic on Hinata Feng's face was so fake that it almost choked Xiaochun.
"The village will never interfere with the change of clan leader without reason," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious face and a resounding voice. He was full of momentum, as if he had returned to his peak form.
"However, no one from the Hyuga clan showed up. Your words alone cannot prove that you have taken over the position of clan leader."
"How can it be just one person? The entire Hyuga family can testify to this."
Hinata Feng glanced at the entire audience, and all the Hyuga clan members he looked at bowed solemnly and called him clan leader.
Nodding with satisfaction, Hinata Feng looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "If that's not enough, Hinata and Hanabi can testify. Lord Hiashi has entrusted them both to me."
At the gate, the two little girls nodded in agreement with their heads stiff.
