Chapter 13
Looking out the window.
The dim sunlight gradually fell, covering Hinata with a coat of old age.
Naruto walked to the window and stared at the scenery outside.
Almost no one thought that now Konoha was in turmoil, the envoy of Kumogakure was arrogant, and the third Hokage was in a mess, and the cause of all this was a three-year-old child.
That child, who was called a demon fox by the villagers of Konoha!
He destroyed Hinata’s trust in the third Hokage by his own strength, and made the relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha, which could have been safe, worsen again.
And now, it has changed Hinata’s original attitude.
What the third Hokage could have succeeded in, failed again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen may not know in this life that his defeat was only because of a three-year-old child!
……
“Hiashi, I came here to discuss something with you!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat opposite to Hyuga Hiashi.
The two sat opposite each other.
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly.
However, after he spoke, Hyuga Hiashi immediately said:
“Did the negotiation with the Hidden Cloud Village fail? Do you want to go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village?”
He stood up immediately, and at the same time, his expression was particularly excited, and his eyes revealed his fighting spirit.
He said:
“Don’t worry, Third-generation! As long as the village goes to war with the Hidden Cloud Village, my Hyuga clan will never retreat! We will be able to go to the battlefield immediately! For the village, for Konoha, I Hyuga have no choice but to do it!”
At this moment, looking at Hyuga Hiashi’s full fighting spirit, he swore in front of him.
The set of words that Sarutobi Hiruzen had prepared was immediately blocked in his mouth and difficult to say.
He opened his mouth, but swallowed the words he had originally intended.
Then, he sighed and said:
“I… I don’t want things to go this far, but the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village are too arrogant. It was their fault, but they want to impose all this on us. This…”
“Too much!!!”
Hyuga Hiashi immediately spoke up and responded to the words of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then, he said:
“Third-generation sir, they actually dared to do this, it’s really too much, this is simply not taking the village, nor you seriously! For such lunatics from the Hidden Cloud Village, they should be taught a lesson!”
“Tell me, Third-generation sir, what should we do? As long as you give an order, my Hyuga clan can take action now! Who should be killed first?!”
Hearing this, the corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mouth twitched immediately.
Damn it!
Kill what? Kill what?
He came here just to trick Hyuga Hiashi, asking this fool to at least pay some money even if he doesn’t send people!
Then, he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will suffer less losses.
Can a fight break out over such a small matter? Just pay some money!
But do I have to pay for this myself? It was obviously caused by you, Hyuga, so why did you leave this problem to me in the end?
I will help you solve the problem, and then let you pay some compensation. I will mediate and save my face. Is there any problem?
But…
Looking at Hyuga Hiruzen, this face full of fighting spirit and the murderous intent in his eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a force in his heart, but he had nowhere to use it, and he felt very aggrieved.
“Lord Third Generation!”
At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi said immediately:
“How about this, I will take people to kill all the envoys of Kumogakure now, and then tonight, we will take advantage of the fact that Kumogakure Village has not yet reacted and directly attack their village! As long as we are not discovered, the chance of success is still very high!”
“How about it? As long as you give an order, I can take Hyuga’s people to do it?”
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes full of expectations.
However.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to curse at this moment.
My order? What a fart! Damn it, I never wanted to fight from the beginning to the end. I can understand the matter by paying some money. Why do you have to do this to me?
Moreover, I have been here for so long, can you let me say something!
Can you stop fighting and killing at every turn! And you took people to kill those Kumogakure envoys directly? You are so damn bold!
I’m afraid that you killed those people from the Hidden Cloud Village on purpose, and you came here specifically to cause trouble for me.
In the end, I have to clean up your mess, but you just stand aside, acting like a loyal Konoha. All the troubles are on me!
Damn it!
At this moment.
Looking at Hyuga HiashiHe looked indignant, as if he couldn’t wait to fight with the Hidden Cloud Village to show his loyalty.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had begun to suspect that this Hyuga Hiashi was not an undercover sent by the Hidden Cloud Village.
You are eager for me to fight with the Hidden Cloud Village and can’t see me do any good, right?
However.
Even though he thought so in his heart, he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, couldn’t show it at this moment.
After all, in the final analysis, Hyuga Hiashi said these words for Konoha.
And as a Hokage, he certainly couldn’t just abandon this big clan that was loyal to Konoha.
Since the first Hokage established the village, the Hyuga clan has followed, and there has been no unusual movement to this day. The Hyuga clan is completely different from the Uchiha clan.
Now, the Uchiha clan has already had some unusual movements, and there is a possibility of rebellion from time to time. For the sake of Uchiha, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been exhausted.
Now that the Hyuga clan is here, he will never let them have any problems again.
Therefore, Sarutobi sighed and said:
“No, no! Things are far from that point. Hiashi, you have to know that there is no fighting and killing between villages. Simply fighting and killing cannot solve the problem!”
However, after hearing what he said, Hyuga Hiashi was silent for a while, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. After a while, he seemed to have understood it.
He immediately said:
“Then what the Third-generation Master means is that we can’t attack directly? We wait for them to leave and then secretly send someone to assassinate them? As long as the messenger of the Hidden Cloud Village dies on the way back to the village, then it has nothing to do with us!”
“They humiliated us, and we must bring them back, but we can’t let them die in our village?”
The more Hyuga Hiashi spoke, the brighter his eyes became. Finally, he exclaimed and said:
“As expected of the Third-generation Master, you really think far and far!”
“Far and far you…”
The last two words were held back by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He was really about to curse.
As long as the people of the Hidden Cloud Village died, no matter where they died, would it matter?
As long as they died, wouldn’t the people of the Hidden Cloud Village find us in the end?
In the end, wouldn’t I have to take action?
You really want me to take the blame for this black pot!
But facing Hyuga Hiashi, he couldn’t curse.
It was really frustrating.
Later, Sarutobi thought about coming clean and said:
“Actually, I came here not to ask the Hyuga clan leader to take action, but to have a good discussion with the envoy of the Hidden Cloud Village. After all, this man died in our hands, and we really have no evidence. In this regard, we are in the wrong, and the other party seized this point and became so arrogant.”
“We need peace now, and we need enough time to let the village recuperate, and then we can regain the dignity we lost today in the future!”
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly showed an incredible look. He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked:
“Does the Third Generation mean that we will give in this time?”
“Fuck…”
He took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.
“It’s not a surrender, it’s a temporary retreat. This retreat is for our better development! Otherwise, if we fight to the death with the Hidden Cloud Village, what if other villages want to intervene?”
“It seems like this…”
Hyuga Hiashi also pondered for a while and said:
“Then it seems that it is not impossible to surrender temporarily.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen was relieved after hearing this, and then said:
“Since the Hyuga clan leader also agrees, then we will do it. However, if we want to satisfy the Hidden Cloud Envoy, we have to pay a price!”
“What price?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes flashed, and it was time to reveal his true intentions.
“Give compensation. As long as we give some compensation, we can avoid this war and buy enough time for Konoha! This is the real sacrifice for the village! But…”
“There is not enough money in the village now. If we want to give compensation, I am afraid it will be difficult!”
“Is that so!”
Hyuga Hiashi also pondered.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in his heart that he really took the bait.
Then he said:
“So, I came to the Hyuga clan leader this time, hoping that the Hyuga clan leader can support…”
After hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi immediately said, “No problem, Third-generation! How much do you need?”
Sarutobi HiruzenHiruzen Sarutobi suppressed his joy, but remained calm on the surface, and said:
“It will take about 300 million…”
“300 million?”
Hyuga Hiashi also paused, and then thought for a while, and said:
“300 million, although Hyuga doesn’t have that much, but I still have a way to get it.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes suddenly fixed, and asked:
“What method?”
“Rob! I recently learned that the Hidden Rock Village seems to have made a fortune. Tonight I can take people to sneak over and take away a batch while the people of the Hidden Rock Village are not paying attention. In this way, it will be completely enough!”
He said excitedly:
“Not only is it completely enough, but we can even leave a lot for our Konoha to use!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “…”
Is this the method you said?
What, a Hidden Cloud Village is not troublesome enough, and we have to provoke the Hidden Cloud Village, right?
The Hidden Cloud Village is no worse than the Hidden Cloud Village, and even the old man Ohnoki is more arrogant than Ai! If you provoke Ai, you may just pay some money and the matter will be settled.
But Ohnoki is not such a simple matter!
After all, in the previous Ninja World Wars, the Iwagakure Village retained most of its strength.
Konoha suffered heavy losses, and the other Ninja Villages also suffered losses, but only the Iwagakure Village retained a lot of strength.
At this time, if you provoke the Iwagakure Village without authorization, it will definitely be more terrible than provoking the Kumogakure Village!
“No need to do this.”
But, even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen still took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions and said:
“How much can Hyuga take out?”
“This…”
Hyuga Hiashi thought for a while, “It should be this number, right?”
He spread his palm and stretched out five fingers, but after a moment, he retracted two fingers.
“Thirty million ryo?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s heart sank.
If Hinata only took out 30 million ryo, then he would still have to pay a lot, but after all, it would be much better than if he paid alone.
He still had a lot of property left by the Fourth Hokage, which was enough.
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to nod his head to show his agreement.
At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi shook his head.
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and said:
“Are you regretting it?”
“No, it’s just that the Third Hokage misunderstood.”
“Did I misunderstand?”
He looked at Hyuga Hiashi.
Hyuga Hiashi nodded and said:
“Yes, what I said was not 30 million ryo, but 300 ryo.”
“What?!”
After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up.
Then, he looked at Hyuga Hiashi with an unbelievable look on his face.
He asked again:
“Three hundred taels?”
Hyuga Hiashi nodded:
“Yeah, isn’t it a little? Then I’ll get some more.”
He showed a distressed expression.
“Just deduct some of Hinata’s pocket money, and the Hyuga clan can get five hundred taels!”
“You fuck…”
This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely broken.
He talked to Hyuga Hiashi for so long, and persuaded him with emotion and reason, but in the end, when it came to paying, Hyuga Hiashi was only willing to pay five hundred taels? ? ?
What about sending beggars?
However.
Hyuga Hiashi’s face turned red and said:
“What’s wrong with five hundred taels? My Hyuga family has fought for Konoha until now, and never asked for more money. With so many people in the clan spending money, being able to get five hundred taels is already my limit!”
His face gradually turned ashen.
“Third-generation sir, for the sake of the village, we can shed blood and tears! If you say that we should kill those envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village now, I, Hyuga Hiashi, will not frown! But this money is indeed only this much!”
At this moment.
Looking at Hyuga Hiashi’s appearance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Bear!
Must bear!
At this time, he must not turn against Hyuga!
He said:
“Okay, then five hundred taels!”
Hyuga Hiruzen was stunned.
But he saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen had already stood up at this time.
“I will find a way to deal with the following matters. Please send the money to me as soon as possible, Hyuga clan leader!”
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen’s figure that was gradually walking away.
Hyuga Hiruzen suddenly slapped his thigh and cried out in pain:
“Damn, it’s a mistake! I lost five hundred taels!”
He never thought that the Third-generation Hokage would even want five hundred taels!
Can you be more shameless???
