Chapter 317

The two sides of the border are in chaos.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the letter from Raikage Ai in his hand, and his whole expression was shocked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect Raikage Ai to be so shameless that he turned the tables and held Konoha accountable.

What shocked Sarutobi Hiruzen even more was that a ninja sent intelligence that the Hidden Cloud Village had begun to gather ninja troops, and before the reply to Konoha, some of the Cloud Ninjas entered the Kingdom of the Moon.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to believe what Raikage Ai said in the reply that if the Hidden Cloud Village was not given an explanation, the Hidden Cloud Village would attack Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately summoned Koharu Utatane and En Mitomon for discussion.

As for Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not summon him.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen could guess what Danzo would suggest.

And what happened was also caused by Sarutobi Hiruzen's mistake. Sarutobi Hiruzen already felt very troubled and didn't want Danzo to add more troubles to him.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En came to the office. After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, they were also shocked by the shamelessness of Raikage Ai.

Mito Kado En said seriously: "Now all the villagers in Konoha know that we Konoha are going to form an alliance with the Hidden Cloud Village. If this happens, if the Hidden Cloud Village really attacks, it may cause great panic and chaos in the village."

Utatane Koharu also said in a tricky way: "Yes, and this matter can be said to be a serious dereliction of duty by you, Hiruzen. If this matter ferments, you may be in trouble."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew the seriousness of the matter.

It took less than two years for peace to be achieved. I thought the Hidden Cloud Village was here to form an alliance, but it was here to seize the blood limit.

Moreover, it seems that the Hidden Cloud Village will never admit it. If the war really starts, the Hidden Cloud Village will publicize that the cause of the war is that Sarutobi Hiruzen sent people to kill the ninjas who came to form an alliance with them. Then he will have to bear the blame and cannot get rid of it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a gloomy face: "Our Konoha has not fully recovered yet, and it will be very difficult to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village. In addition, the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Mist Village will definitely be ready to move. Maybe by then it will not be long before the Fourth Ninja World War.

So we must not let the Hidden Cloud Village declare war on our Konoha... Therefore, I plan to agree to the request of Raikage Ai."

Mito Kado En frowned and said: "If we agree to the request of Raikage Ai, then we have to hand over Hiashi. Raikage Ai's purpose must be the Byakugan, so there will be another pair of Byakugans wandering outside, and the Hyuga clan may not agree. After all, Hiashi is the head of the main family and the patriarch of the Hyuga clan. "

After thinking for a while, Koharu Utatane said, "Doesn't Hiashi's younger brother Hiashi look very similar to Hiashi? Hiashi is from the branch family and is cursed with the caged bird. We may be able to hand over Hiashi's body so that the people of the Hidden Cloud Village can't tell whether it is Hiashi or Hiashi. When Hiashi leaves Konoha for a distance, let the people of the main family use the caged bird to destroy the Byakugan.

In this way, the Hidden Cloud Village will have nothing to say. After all, we have handed people over and it has nothing to do with us. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Based on their understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen, they naturally knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had agreed, but as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to tell the Hyuga clan himself, after all, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to save face.

Mizuto Kado En took the initiative to say: "I'll go talk to the Hyuga family about this matter."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Then leave it to you."

Mizuto Kado En stood up from the chair: "I'll go to the Hyuga family now."

...

Hyuga clan land.

Mizuto Kado En found the elders of the Hyuga family and told them about the request of the Hidden Cloud Village, and hoped that Hyuga Hiashi would replace Hyuga Hiashi and hand it over to the Hidden Cloud Village, so that war could be avoided.

The elders of the Hyuga clan agreed to Mizuto Kado En's request with almost no hesitation.

After all, Hyuga Hiashi is now completely out of control. If it weren't for Chiba standing behind him, they would have severely punished Hyuga Hiashi.

After the Hyuga elders agreed, they asked Mizuto Kado En to go back and tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that after they did a good job of ideological work on Hyuga Hiashi, they would send someone to invite Sarutobi Hiruzen to come.

After Mitomon Yan left the Hyuga clan, one of the Hyuga elders went to find Hyuga Hiashi, and the others went to Hyuga Hiashi to persuade him.

After the Hyuga elder found Hyuga Hiashi, he went straight to the point and said, "Hiashi, consultant Mitomon Yan came just now."

Hyuga

Hiashi's eyes trembled slightly: "What are the top leaders going to do?"

Elder Hyuga replied: "The Hidden Cloud Village has gathered ninja troops, and some have entered the Kingdom of the Moon. In order to avoid war, the top leaders plan to hand over people, but their ideas coincide with ours, and let Hizashi replace you.

Now the other elders have gone to lobby Hizashi. He has to agree to this matter even if he doesn't want to. After all, this is the mission of the branch family, and it's his turn to sacrifice.

The third generation will come by then, and you will pretend to know nothing. After all, Hizashi is the head of the branch family. In order to appease other branches and show loyalty to the third generation, you will pretend to be loyal to him."

Hinata Hiashi nodded and said, "I know."

...

The other Hyuga elders have found Hyuga Hizashi.

The Hyuga elders have told Hyuga Hizashi what happened.

"Hizashi, the Byakugan must not fall into the hands of outsiders, and Hiashi, as the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, must not be handed over, otherwise, the entire Hyuga clan will be in turmoil.

The existence of the branch family is to deal with the possibility of something like this, so for the sake of the Hyuga clan, we hope you can replace Hiashi."

Hyuga Hizashi closed his eyes and remained silent.

Now Hyuga Hizashi had no other emotions except a little sadness, and was amazed in his heart that Chiyu's guess was not wrong at all, and everything happened as he expected.

Outside the house, Hyuga Neji, who heard everything, widened his eyes, his eyeballs had shrunk into a point, and he was breathing rapidly.

Hyuga Neji pushed the door open and roared at the Hyuga elders: "Get out! Why do you want my father to sacrifice! You are a bunch of rats who only dare to hide in the dark. All the dangerous things are done by our branch family. Now you want my father to die instead of Hyuga Hiashi. Why!"

Before the Hyuga elders could speak, Hyuga Hizashi scolded: "Ningji! You have no right to speak here!"

Then Hyuga Hizashi said to the Hyuga elders: "I agree to this."

Hyuga Neji looked at Hyuga Hizashi in disbelief: "Father, why do you have to work for these beasts, why..."

Hyuga Hizashi used the instant body technique to appear behind Hyuga Neji and knocked him out with a hand knife.

Hyuga Hizashi looked at the Hyuga elders with ugly faces and said calmly: "Please leave."
