42 Chapter 42: The elders who were engraved with the Caged Bird Seal
The Third Hokage came with a dozen Anbu Shinobi menacingly, but now they were sent back in despair. They were like a pack of dogs running away with their tails between their legs .
Whether it's Hyūga Hiashi, the patriarch of the clan who was almost deposed of, or the ordinary ninja of the clan. They didn't want to listen to the Third Hokage's unconvincing excuse.
Soon, Hizuren and the dozen Anbu disappeared in front of everyone. Afterwards the Shinobi carried two bodies down.
The great elder, and his son Hyuga Yemen.
There was no sympathy for these two who had completely betrayed the entire clan.
"The two other elders, I don't know what you are thinking about it?" Hyuga Nàiluò has not forgotten that there were two other elders participating in today's clan meeting.
"the choice between the Caged Bird seal, or choosing death?"
"Today's affairs really have nothing to do with us!" The second elder pleaded bitterly.
"The Great Elder didn't tell us that he wanted to hand over members of the clan to the root organization!"
The two elders also looked bitter.
The first elder did not tell them the contents of this transaction. After all, even if things were successful today, it would only be Hyuga Yemen who would become the head of the clan, and it will not do them much good.
"At least, it should be conclusive that you colluded with outsiders to overthrow the patriarch?" Hyuga Hiashi said with a gloomy face.
"Even if you don't know the content of the transaction, if Hyuga Yemen really became the patriarch, he would eventually compromise with the Third Hokage on other things!"
This is inevitable! With the support from the Third Hokage, this price will inevitably be paid elsewhere!
This is the eventual result of colluding with outsiders for one's own gain! The second and the third elders looked bitter, but they couldn't refute them.
"We…choose the Caged Bird Seal…." In any case, they did not have the courage to face death.
Soon after.
"what!!!"
The two elders, no, they should not be considered elders now. Held their heads in pain and continued to wail on the ground.
The ugly curse imprinted on their foreheads.
They finally realized the pain that the branch members of the clan with the seal had to go through.
Moreover, their later situation may be even worse: The branch house members who have been beaten and scolded by them for no reason wouldn't just forget their hatred like this!
They even saw the indifferent eyes of many of the branch house ninjas looking at them. The two former elders glanced at each other, and their hearts were ashamed.
…
"Make the Hyuga clan change their patriarch, so that their dignitaries can be managed easily. I didn't expect the Third Hokage to have such a plan!" Fugaku's face was gloomy.
If the Third Hokage's plan succeeded today, the new patriarch Hyuga Yemen would have sent multiple clan members to join root.
And after that?.....Would the Third Hokage extend his dark claws to the Uchiha clan?
It has to be known that no Shinobi from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans have ever joined Danzo's root organization.
"The Third Hokage wants to beat us by making our own people attack us internally."
Uchiha Itachi said something that was totally didn't match with his current age.
"It is conceivable that Third Hokage may also use this idea to deal with the Uchiha clan."
"This kind of thinking? How do you do it?" Shisui was puzzled.
"Draw a part of the Uchiha clan to their side, and then let the Uchiha clan divide by killing each other!" Uchiha Itachi spoke amazing words in a plain tone.
Hyuga Nàiluò's expression is a bit subtle.
These actions…...didn't you do it yourself in the original timeline?
Itachi continues to analyze: "Today, the Third Hokage uses a method of differentiation of interests: the elders who listen to them are pushed to the position of patriarch."
"Besides, there may be other ways." Uchiha Itachi frowned, thinking about something.
"It may also be through the name of the Hokage, under the banner of the village, to attract people to stand on his side." Hyuga Nàiluò said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
This is how the Third Hokage dealt with Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi in the original timeline. However, after experiencing what happened yesterday, many in the village are already very dissatisfied with the Third Hokage.
If someone wants to kill the Third Hokage, it is estimated that many people will let it go.
Just like Orochimaru's during the Konoha collapse plan in the original timeline.
Everyone had their own fights, except for one Anbu who was burned to death by the seal during the invasion, no one went to rescue the Third Hokage.
And if today's event spreads out. He is afraid that more people will want to let Third Hokage die if someone does kill him…
>>>>The Nara Clan<<<<
"What did you say?"
Nara Shikaku, who has always been calm, looked shocked.
"You mean, the Third Hokage wanted to support the son of the elder from the Hyuga clan to become the patriarch. As part of the transaction, the Hyuga have to send clan members to join the Anbu and Root?" Shikaku asked the people in front of him back.
"This is what a friend of mine from the Hyuga Clan had said, and it happened today."
The Nara Shinobi who reported this replied very confidently.
"Third Hokage! Third Hokage! Sarutobi Hiruzen would never do such a thing!"
Shikaku, who has always been calm, couldn't help getting angry.
This way, it might not be used by Third Hokage against other ninjas.
For example, their Nara clan!
If the Third Hokage repeats his old tricks, and finds a way to overthrow him from his position as the Patriarch of the Nara Clan, and then supports a subservient person in becoming the patriarch…..
So in the future, how many Shinobi would the Anbu and Root need, and how many will they want from the Nara's Clan?
Coincidencently !....Shikaku recalled the events pertaining to Hyuga Nàiluò from the past two days.
If he, from the Nara Clan hasn't been "obedient" for such a long time, the Third Hokage may make him disappear and then replace him with a puppet that he can control as he wishes!
Didn't Hyuga Nàiluò almost "Disappear" twice? He didn't think that he would be able to survive the siege twice in a row like Hyuga Nàiluò!
"Hizuren....Dam it!" Shikaku' thought coldly in his eyes.
…
>>>>Sarutobi family land, the home of Sarutobi Hiruzen<<<<
"On the contrary, this group of people will rebel!" Hizuren thought of him coming out of the Hyuga clan in embarrassment today, with a furious expression on his face.
On the way back, he didn't dare to stop anywhere! He was so dirty with dust, rocks, branches and other debris, what would everyone think if they saw the Hokage like this!
"Everyone in the Hyuga clan, as well as Uchiha Fugaku, these people don't put Hokage in their eyes at all!" Hizuren roared.
Homura also nodded calmly. The shadow of a dignified village was actually driven out like a dog in the water!
"These people all put the village above the family!" Koharu said fiercely.
Their plan, which they thought was foolproof, failed!
"Hiruzen, you mean, the Caged Bird seal of the Hyuga clan has failed?" Danzo frowned, not too convinced.
It is no longer clear from when the Hyuga clan had the Caged Bird seal but what is certain is that the Caged Bird seal has never failed on anyone!
"It really didn't work on Hyuga Nàiluò." Hizuren looked gloomy.
"Maybe what happened to his Byakugan is that it evolved, and thus was not controlled by the Caged Bird seal." Hizuren recalled Hyuga Nàiluò's "God Air Strike" and guessed, "His Byakugan is very strong he could use moves that can't be done by an ordinary Byakugan!"
"Byakugan…" Danzo muttered to himself.
