Chapter 502: Delaying Ōnoki and letting the Kumogakure do it

"Maybe."

Hiashi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yan to mention the child Ningji on his own initiative. Suddenly his smile became a little forced.

He knew Neji had talent, but the boy's mentality had changed since his father's death.

During the Warring States Period, the Hyuga clan was also a large clan, and there were powerful ninjas in the family.

It is said that there was a ninja named Hyuga Tennin who could even compete with Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Tennin is not a person, but a honorific title. In the Hyuga clan, powerful ninjas are called Hyuga Tennin.

It can be said that this title is the highest honor of the Hyuga clan.

Unfortunately, there are very few people who can reach this level of intensity.

Looking at Hinata Hiashi's expression of being moved yet hesitant, Yan knew that this guy had not made up his mind yet.

Fugaku opened his mouth, but ultimately failed to say what was in his mind.

After all, this is the Hyuga clan's family affair, and it is not easy for him as an outsider to interfere.

"Okay."

Yan put down the teacup unhappily:

"Everyone knows why Hyuga Hizashi died. Since the Sandaime dared to do it, why don't you dare to say it? Or are you afraid that the Sandaime will cause trouble for you?"

"As Hizashi's child, Neji has the right to know the truth. I think he also wants to know why his father died. Concealing the truth will not do any good. It may even lead to the destruction of Neji, a genius."

Hyuga Neji's heart knot?

It's an easy problem to solve. As long as you are willing to lose face, just sell out the Third Hokage.

Anyway, it was the Third Hokage who did the dirty things. He could do it, so why don’t you dare to say anything?

It was okay before, but now you are afraid of nothing.

"I......."

Hiashi was not afraid of speaking ill of the Third Hokage or exposing his past, but he did not know how to face Neji.

The death of Hizashi has always been a thorn in his heart, making him feel guilty and unable to face Neji.

"You have to make a decision when you have to. You have done nothing wrong. Besides, according to the rules of the Hyuga clan, we cannot sacrifice you, the clan leader, even if we sacrifice anyone else.

Just tell the truth, I believe Neji will understand you, he is very smart."

"Because he is very smart, some things need to be made clear in advance. The longer you wait, the more likely he will get stuck in a rut and be unable to get out. By then, it will be useless for you to be honest."

That’s all I have to say. I have said all that needs to be said. As for whether Rizu will believe it or not, that’s his business.

To put it bluntly, this is the Hyuga clan's responsibility and he doesn't need to get involved.

If he wasn't sitting in the position of assistant to the Hokage and if he wasn't married to Hinata, Yan wouldn't bother to say these things.

He had no interest in whether Hyuga Neji took the right path or the wrong path.

"Thank you for your reminder, Assistant Master. I will consider it."

Hiashi gave in, which means this thing can be done. As for the Third Hokage being brought out and whipped...

If you do something shameful, you should be prepared to be whipped.

After leisurely drinking two cups of tea with Hiashi and Fugaku, Yan finally got to the point.

"For the next period of time, the camp will need the two of you to take care of it. I will personally go to the battlefield for a while."

"????"

Hiashi and Fugaku's eyes froze.

Without giving the two a chance to ask, Yan took the initiative to explain:

"Recently, Itachi has been too active on the battlefield. If nothing unexpected happens, the Iwagakure will definitely target him.

After all, Ohnoki is a narrow-minded and stubborn old man. He might use the same tactics he used on the Third Raikage on the battlefield."

"Even though there is only a certain probability, we can't take such a risk. I don't want Itachi to get into trouble on the battlefield."

Yan knew who Ōnoki was, which was why he had to go into the battlefield in person.

Not for anything else, just to prevent Oonoki from causing trouble.

This old guy's ability to stir up trouble is first-rate. Itachi is very strong and smart, and ordinary traps cannot trap him, not even when he walks into one.

But even the smartest people can be careless sometimes.

Besides, Ohnoki usually uses tactics to drag the Third Raikage to death, and even smart people will be surrounded by it in a confused manner.

Blood crow?

Represents death?

Then I will kill you first, and as for the consequences, I will talk about it after I kill you, Uchiha Itachi.

"Assistant-sama, are you saying that Ōnoki is planning to attack Itachi?"

Fugaku's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The Uchiha people were not afraid of death, nor were they afraid of sacrificing on the battlefield, but the problem was that Itachi was his son, so how could a father not worry about his son?

The youngest son is still recovering from his injuries. If the eldest son were gone...

He didn’t even know how to go back and face Uchiha Mikoto.

Yan suddenly laughed.

"There aren't many geniuses in the Iwagakure, and Ohnoki is also known for being petty, just like Ai, or even crazier than Ai. I guarantee that he has already started to act. After all, with the appearance of Itachi, the number of sacrifices in the Iwagakure has begun to soar.

If this continues for a long time, the Iwagakure Village will not be able to bear such casualties."

“So targeting is inevitable.”

"It's just that ordinary means are useless against Itachi. A large-scale operation is needed, which is what the Iwagakure is good at."

It would be fine if you didn't know, but sitting still when you knew that you, Ōnoki, would attack Itachi is not Yan's style.

Besides, it was he who sent Itachi out.

Anyone who wants to kill me must first ask me, Uchiha Hiko, whether I agree.

Don't compare me with that stubborn old guy, the Third Raikage.

If the Third Raikage had not been so stubborn, he would not have been exhausted to death in the Land of Earth.

When encountering danger, the Raikage stayed behind to hold the enemy back, allowing the Raikage guards to run and escape first. This behavior is simply insane.

Who protects whom?

What is the purpose of this Raikage Guard?

The Raikage guard is more important than the Raikage?

Yan certainly doesn't think that other people's lives are more important than his own, but if it is possible, he must save his own people. It is not so easy for Ohnoki to harm someone.

I just want to see what tricks you, Onoki, are going to play here without caring about the battlefield in Takikuni.

"By the way, write a letter to the Kumogakure in my name and tell the Raikage that Ohnoki has been dragged to our side. They only need to focus on the battle in Taki Country and there is no need to worry about Ohnoki going to support them."

You like to run, right? Then go ahead and run. I want to see how long you can keep steady.

I wonder if you, Onoki, dare to leave. If you dare to leave, I will cause trouble.

You like to play, right? Come on, let’s play slowly.

It's just going to be hard work for a long time, and I need to sit in the Hokage's office for a while longer.

Lu Jiu has been writing letters to the camp, asking about Yan's deadline for returning. Unfortunately, Yan has no way to give him this deadline, so he can only ask him to hold on, hold on, and hold on again.
