#116 - Chapter 116 Choose one of the two! Be a dog for F4, let F4 be a dog

"Looks like you're making good progress."

Hyuga Hizashi jumped out right after Uchiha Mikoto left.

"I just never expected the always aloof and eccentric Uchiha to raise a clansman with Mikoto's personality."

After speaking, Hizashi glanced in the direction Mikoto left, a hint of surprise on his face.

Since becoming the Hyuga clan head, he had a lot of dealings with other ninja clans.

Among them, the Uchiha were the ones he contacted most frequently in private.

Whether it was clan head Fugaku or elder Setsuna, even though they put on a humble posture in front of him out of fear of Hyuga Tenro's strength, they still had an arrogance in their bones that looked down on all ninjas outside the Uchiha.

Not just the clan head and elders, but most of the other clansmen he saw in the Uchiha clan were like that.

As long as they opened their Sharingan, their personalities were more stubborn and arrogant than the last, and the more the Sharingan evolved, the more eccentric and aloof they became.

Even towards their own clansmen.

The Uchiha only showed a gentle side when facing their loved ones.

It was simply the opposite extreme of the previous Hyuga main family.

The Hyuga main family was too soft, and the Uchiha were too hard.

In Hizashi's view, a clansman like Uchiha Mikoto, whose Sharingan had evolved to three tomoe, but still had no arrogance, only gentleness, no coldness, only elegance, was definitely an extremely rare anomaly in the Uchiha.

Perhaps that was why Uchiha Setsuna tried every means to marry his daughter into the Hyuga family.

After all, any other Uchiha female ninja who had opened the three-tomoe Sharingan would definitely bristle at the thought of becoming a "child bride" of an outsider.

Even if they didn't bristle, they would definitely not be as gentle as water like Uchiha Mikoto.

Hyuga Tenro didn't speak, just looked in the direction Uchiha Mikoto left, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Is something wrong?"

"Tenro."

Seeing this, Hizashi also put away the teasing on his face.

"Teacher."

"Tell me, is there a possibility,"

"That the person who spread the news of me defeating Sarutobi Shinnosuke in one move was Uchiha Setsuna."

Hyuga Tenro was silent for a few seconds, then spoke shockingly.

"Him?"

"But what is Uchiha Setsuna's motive?"

"If it's really Uchiha Setsuna, he's stirring up trouble, turning Konoha upside down, and even pulling Sarutobi Shinnosuke down from the position of Anbu captain, is it just to send Mikoto to you?"

Hizashi had an expression of astonishment.

He had thought of many people who could have spread the rumors, but he had never thought of the Uchiha.

"Whether it's marriage or alliance, he could have directly proposed it to us, there's no need to do this."

"After all, anyone with eyes can see that the Third Hokage wants to suppress our Hyuga."

"Moreover, once the news leaks, the already bad relationship between the Uchiha and the village will only get worse."

Hizashi's face showed contemplation.

"It's suppression for the Hyuga, but not necessarily for me."

"In the eyes of the Third Hokage, I'm only 8 years old."

"Whether I love Konoha or love the Hyuga is still unknown!"

Hyuga Tenro remembered something.

That was the attitude Sarutobi Hiruzen had towards him in the Hokage meeting and during the Chunin Exams, which was a stark contrast.

He hadn't reacted before, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what was going on.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning to use the same tactics he used on Uchiha Itachi on him.

Brainwashing him into a Hyuga Itachi.

"You mean, Uchiha Setsuna noticed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude towards you has changed."

"So, he spread rumors in the village, which can not only make you, the Third Hokage, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke suspicious of each other, but also make the Hyuga and the village, no, and Sarutobi, stand against each other."

"When the Hyuga are isolated and helpless, he will jump out and offer help in the nick of time, making the alliance between the two clans more stable."

Hizashi reorganized the context of the matter, and immediately realized that this possibility was extremely high.

Compared to what Danzo and Orochimaru had done, after hearing what Hyuga Tenro said, he felt that Uchiha Setsuna's possibility was higher.

After all, unlike most Uchiha who only like to play with pupil power and don't like to use their brains, Uchiha Setsuna is known for being insidious and cunning.

It has to be said that Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Setsuna really deserve to be father and daughter.

Their personalities are both considered anomalies in the Uchiha.

The father is insidious and cunning.

The daughter is gentle and kind.

If it weren't for the fact that they both opened the three-tomoe Sharingan, it would really be difficult to associate this father and daughter with the Uchiha.

"Your marriage with Mikoto is settled; the alliance between the Hyuga and Uchiha is also settled."

"By then, even if the news leaks and the truth comes out, we can only accept it, after all, cooperation between the two clans is also beneficial to us."

"Moreover, he is very measured in his actions, spreading rumors is spreading rumors, but he didn't spread the information that you know space-time ninjutsu."

Hizashi's face became extremely serious as he said this.

At this moment, he finally saw Uchiha Setsuna's methods.

He deserves to be a ruthless person who dared to launch a coup during Tobirama Senju's reign.

"Teacher, you forgot one thing, Uchiha Setsuna is a dying man."

"Even if I am narrow-minded and want to take revenge on him, he will be dead by then, so am I going to be angry with a dead man, and a dead man who sent his daughter to me as a "child bride"."

"Not to mention that the dowry he prepared for Mikoto must be generous, just sending an Uchiha who has opened the three-tomoe Sharingan to me can offset the unhappiness between me and him, at least I won't vent my anger on Mikoto because of this."

"After all, Mikoto is just a pawn in Uchiha Setsuna's overall plan."

As soon as Hyuga Tenro said this, Hyuga Hizashi's breathing stagnated slightly, and cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

This link after link, every detail was taken into account.

The dowry is for the Hyuga family.

Mikoto is for Hyuga Tenro.

And Uchiha Setsuna's previous promise to fully support Hyuga Tenro in running for Hokage was also considering that the truth would come out one day, which could offset all the dissatisfaction.

"Setsuna old ghost, this is using his own life to plot against you, plot against our Hyuga, and plot against the Third Hokage."

After learning everything, Hyuga Hizashi didn't have much anger.

Being plotted against definitely has disadvantages.

But compared to the disadvantages, what they get is undoubtedly more.

Whether it's Hyuga Tenro or the Hyuga family.

Most importantly, whether they take revenge or hold a grudge, Uchiha Setsuna is bound to die.

"Using life as a chess piece, winning half a move against fate."

"When life comes to an end, arranging his daughter well, paving the way for the family, taking Sarutobi Shinnosuke away, and stabbing the Third Hokage."

"Family, clan, personal grudges, all in place."

"My cheap father-in-law is not simple."

"It's a pity, the ninja world is ultimately a world where the strong are respected."

Hyuga Tenro was also not angry.

Uchiha Setsuna operated for a long time, tossing and turning, just to send Uchiha Mikoto to him as a child bride, just to allow the Uchiha and Hyuga to form an alliance, just to splash the Third Hokage with blood.

What's there to be angry about?

And this is the Naruto world, this is Konoha Village.

It's either killing or conspiracy.

His tolerance is not so narrow that he would argue with a dying father-in-law.

After all, with or without Uchiha Setsuna's operation, there is no room for maneuver between him and the F4.

As Uchiha Setsuna said, in Konoha Village, bloodline families actually have two paths to take.

Either you be a dog for the F4; or you let the F4 be your dogs.

Choose one.
