Chapter 198 Slap in the face

Someone once said that there is no such thing as chance in politics, everything is inevitable. In the political game where everyone has 800 thoughts, players who believe in chance and rely on chance will be eliminated in the first round.

Is Hyuga Munema really grateful for Baiyun Yeshan's unintentional action? Is he really grateful to the point of sending people out of the village to help against the Hokage's will?

The answer is obvious.

People always forget kindness and remember hatred. This is their nature and cannot be changed.

Rather than saying that Baiyun Yeshan has done a great favor to the Hyuga clan, it would be better to say that he has more beneficial value.

When the benefits are big enough, even mice dare to molest cats. Hyuga Souma is the dignified clan leader, he is braver than mice, and he will challenge even the bottom line of the Hokage.

The chests of the three people standing there glaring at him kept rising and falling, and they were obviously very angry: "Master Zongzhen, do you mean to leave the village secretly?"

Hinata Munema glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and said calmly: "The village is the home of ninjas, not a prison. As a member of Konoha, I have the right to go out when necessary, even without the approval of the Hokage."

"Besides, ninjas pursue efficiency and are too rigid in their pursuit of procedures."

Immediately, Hyuga Munema said to Uchiha Fugaku with a smile on his face: "The Uchiha clan has established itself in the ninja world with its unparalleled insight, and is known to be able to see through all ninjutsu. Its reputation has been passed down for thousands of years. Although the Hyuga clan does not have the strong insight of the Sharingan, it is superior in its unique reconnaissance ability. I am really curious about what effect will be produced after the two are combined. Today is a good day, so I think it is better to let the subordinates cooperate once. What do you think?"

Just when Uchiha Fugaku was about to agree, Uchiha Seiji strode in, soaking wet, and reported in his ear: "Lord Keiji was stopped at the east gate. The atmosphere at the scene is not good, and a conflict may break out at any time."

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's face turned cloudy, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his hands were tightly clasped together, but he suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, it's such a coincidence that Keiji and the others are still at the East Gate and haven't set out yet. It's completely in time to rush over now, but I'm worried that the Hokage will not let us go."

Hinata Munema chuckled, stretched out his hand and tapped Uchiha Fugaku and said: "It's not good for young people to have too many thoughts. It's easy to lose hair and become bald. You have to be careful."

"You're right. I've been feeling a lot of hair loss lately, and I'm so worried that I can't sleep."

Everyone looked at Uchiha Fugaku's thick black hair and were speechless.

"How could Lord Hokage not let them go? You know, the Will of Fire emphasizes caring for every classmate and requires ninjas to never abandon or give up. This kind of mess must be a rumor spread by scoundrels, so they should be beaten to death. Why? The Uchiha clan can't get rid of them?"

Uchiha Fugaku was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go and pass the order?"

Uchiha Seiji bowed respectfully and left instantly. The Hyuga Hiashi brothers followed him and disappeared into the living room. As for the envoys from the three clans who were standing there and no one paid any attention to them, they left angrily.

"Sir, the time is almost up. The Great Elder has already prepared everything and is just waiting for the distinguished guest to arrive." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's hurry over. There is absolutely no reason to keep our elders waiting."

The two walked out side by side, followed by dozens of ninja envoys, and behind them were servants carrying gifts.

.........

Time soon came to noon, and the heavy rain that had raged all morning finally took a break, but the sky was still covered with thick leaden clouds. Water vapor was steaming between the sky and the earth, making people feel wet and uncomfortable.

If the discomfort caused by the weather was still bearable, then the emotional damage was enough to make Sarutobi Hiruzen slap the desk in front of him and smash it.

The sound of the huge fleshy palm hitting the mahogany desk was not at all crisp, but all the ninjas in the Hokage building tiptoed, fearing that the Hokage would vent his anger on them.

It's not that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not cunning, it's just that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans have gone too far. The two top ninja clans in the ninja world actually beat up the Anbu ninjas who blocked their way in front of everyone. If it weren't for Mito Kado En's high status, he wouldn't be able to escape a beating.

This is not a fight against the Anbu ninja, this is a fight against the face of the Hokage, it is a fight against the dignity of the Hokage!

It has been so many years. Sarutobi Hiruzen can’t remember how many years he hasn’t been so angry. He wasn’t even so angry when Danzo Shimura died.

"How dare they?! How dare they!?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat upright in the chair, staring blankly at the fallen brush and muttering to himself.

If they dare to disregard the Hokage's orders and go out without permission today, they will dare to launch a coup tomorrow!

This is no longer a small fight. The conflict between the two sides has reached a life-and-death situation. If they are not careful, Konoha Village will fall into an unprecedented crisis.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted to send out the ninja clan to directly destroy the Uchiha clan, but he knew that he was just dreaming.

Not to mention whether it can be destroyed or not, even if one has the power to do so, it cannot be destroyed just like that.

You know, the reason why Konoha Village was able to win the first two Ninja World Wars was because of the hard work of the ninja clans, big and small. Otherwise, with the leadership level of Sarutobi Hiruzen, how could they win?

The Uchiha clan can be destroyed, but never by their own people! Just like the Senju clan, it would be best to fight for the village until death.

Gradually, Sarutobi Hiruzen broke free from the shackles of anger and began to think about how to deal with the next step.

Orochimaru was right, he was old and needed a qualified successor. But after careful consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he had no successor.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted Orochimaru to be the next Hokage, but Orochimaru was too cold and lacked the charisma that a leader should have. Moreover, Orochimaru was too extreme in doing things, and would often do anything to achieve his goals, which was even worse. Governing a country is like cooking a small fish, you can't be impatient or extreme!

Not to mention Jiraiya, who gets angry when he mentions Sarutobi Hiruzen. Isn't it that Baiyun Yeshan and Tsunade are in a relationship between an older woman and a younger man? Do you have to drink to drown your sorrows? Do you have to hang out in brothels every day? Do you have to go spying every day to get materials? You have no one to care about anymore, and you have begun to give up on yourself!

The two disciples who were good at it were not suitable, so Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally set his sights on the next generation. It must be said that Jiraiya was lucky, and the disciples he accepted were very good. Not only was he extremely talented in ninjutsu, but he was also gentle and determined, and had great charisma, which could make people admire him in a short time. Such a person is a natural leader, but the problem is that Namikaze Minato was too inexperienced and his military exploits were too thin!

The birth of Hokage is very complicated, involving the competition of many forces. In theory, the Hokage needs to be proposed by the ninja with the right to nominate in the village at the meeting, and then everyone votes by raising their hands, and the one with the most votes wins. This is not the end. Don't forget that the Hokage is the head of a village, and the appointment needs the approval of the Daimyo, the head of a country! In theory, the Daimyo has a veto power, but it has never been used.

Do you think that this is the end of the Hokage? You are dreaming!

The most important step to becoming a Hokage is not through voting, but the vote of confidence from the jonin! The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to be ordered to become the Hokage was because of the overwhelming number of jonin of the Senju clan!

You, Minato Namikaze, have neither great military exploits nor glorious mission records. Why would the jonins give you a vote of confidence? Even if you have both, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan together account for about 40% of the jonins. Would they vote for you?

As the saying goes, the more successful a person is, the more afraid he or she will be driven down by the same method. As a result, the Senju clan was wiped out, the Uchiha clan was toothless, and the Hyuga clan was half dead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded, he destroyed the three major families of Konoha and truly took control of the village. But he forgot one thing, Konoha Village is not the only village in the ninja world, there are four enemies around it who are eyeing it covetously!

Trouble within the family is far more terrifying than external enemies!

It can be said that without Sarutobi Hiruzen's perverse actions and superb means of eliminating dissidents, Baiyunyeshan would have no soil for growth, the Uchiha clan would not have risen by chance, and the Hyuga clan would not have chosen to stab in the back.

In the political game, if you want to be a good person, you must always leave a way out for everything. If you do anything to the extreme, there will only be two results: short-term glory followed by destruction, or direct destruction!
