Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 112 Hinata’s civil strife
"Also, let me tell you one more thing." Yuta Utatane said, "The martial law that night was actually a coup led by Uchiha Tokou and the security forces! The Sandaime-sama made the decision to let him ascend to the position of Hokage while he was under house arrest!"

"What? The security forces actually dared to place our beloved Third Hokage under house arrest and seize power in a coup?" A villager in the audience said indignantly.

When the Third Hokage was in power, he continued the policies of the Second Hokage and always took a hands-off attitude towards ordinary villagers like them who often liked to make money by skirting the law, leaving it entirely to the security team to handle. Sometimes the security team's punishment was too heavy, and he would come forward to intercede. So didn't these unruly people respect the Third Hokage?
"Tomorrow morning, we will surround the Hokage Building and force Uchiha Douguang to step down!"

"Yes! He must step down!"

Most of the villagers were stupid and became excited immediately after being instigated by Yuta Tateshina.

"But what if the security team beats people?" There were still a few people in the crowd who were a little more rational and raised their doubts at this time.

"What are you afraid of? With so many of us here, would he dare to order the guards to attack the villagers?"

"It's hard to say. Last time, there were almost 3,000 people. Didn't the security department beat them up just like that?"

"Don't worry about this." Yuta Utane smiled and called out an old man who looked to be nearly sixty years old from the side.

"We have invited the Hyuga clan's great elder, Hyuga Kazuki, to help you get justice!" Yuta Utane respectfully saluted Hyuga Kazuki, then said, "Please allow Great Elder Kazuki to speak for us."

……

Three hours ago, in the Hyuga clan's territory.

Hinata Hiashi nodded after reading the plan for the future expansion of the village around the Uchiha clan's land sent by Uchiha Tokou. Uchiha Tokou was even more generous than he had imagined. He directly allocated an entire commercial street for Hinata within the new planning area of ​​the village.

However, before Hinata Hiashi could put away the plan, the servants came to report that the elders of the main family were coming to visit.

Hyuga Hiashi frowned when he heard this. The Hyuga clan is different from the Uchiha clan. Compared with the Uchiha clan, where people can get things done with just their fists and words, the Hyuga clan is much more complicated. Several elders of the main clan have their own power. Even he, the head of the clan, cannot have the final say on normal days.

"Please invite them in." Hinata Hiashi was not sure why these elders came to see him at this time, so he could only invite them into his house first.

In Hyuga Hiashi's reception room, Hyuga Hiashi and the three elders sat opposite each other.

"Hiashi, the Uchiha clan has already become Hokage, don't you want to say something?" Hinata Kazuki, the head elder of the Hyuga clan, was the first to speak out.

Hinata Hiashi frowned. He now understood that these old guys coming together at this time might have bad intentions.

"Hiashi, why did you order no one in the family to go out that night?" Another elder also questioned, "If the Sandaime's family had the help of us Hyuga, I'm afraid the Uchiha wouldn't have been able to succeed."

"Has anyone come to see the elders?" Hinata Hiashi said coldly.

Hyuga Hiashi usually did not have a good relationship with these elders. Since Hizashi died for him, Hiashi has grown a lot over the years. Now he also understands that these elders probably played a big role in the incident. When the third generation was still hesitating, it was these people who forced Hizashi to make the choice in order to take the position of the head of the branch family in his power.

Therefore, facing the threatening questions from several people, Hinata Hiashi did not intend to buy into them.

"The current clan leaders of Utatane and Mito have approached us. As long as our Hyuga clan works hard to oust Uchiha Tokou, they will support our Hyuga clan to take the position of Hokage."

Hinata Hiashi almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He said, "Do the elders know what they are talking about? Driving Uchiha Douguang out of power? He has the same eyes as Uchiha Madara back then. Who are you going to let deal with him? Relying on a bunch of old bones like you who haven't fought in years?"

"We don't need to fight him!" Hinata Kazuki said, "There are many villagers in the village who are dissatisfied with the security forces. We just need to use public opinion to force them to step down."

"Public opinion?" Hinata Hiashi laughed, "Do you think Uchiha Tokou would care about this?"

"Hiashi, this is the best chance for our family to become Hokage!" Hinata Kazuki said.

"Shut up!" Hinata Hiashi shouted, "Don't think you are so smart that you can use this method to fight against Uchiha Douguang. In this regard, even the Sandaime can't beat him, let alone you guys."

"Hinata Hiashi, you..." Hinata Kazuki said angrily.

"Elders, please go back." Hinata Hiashi took a deep breath, "Don't mention this matter again. The Fifth Hokage just gave the family a generous gift. Don't do anything that will make everyone unhappy."

"Hmph, Hiashi, I think you have forgotten the feud between your family and the Uchiha during the Warring States Period." Hinata Kazuki slammed the table and left with several elders.

After the elders left, Hinata Hiashi frowned and thought for a while, then called the servants in the house.

"Let Neji come over here." After giving the order, Hinata Hiashi turned and walked into the study.

Soon, Hyuga Neji was brought to the study by the servants. "Master of the family," Neji said respectfully.

"Ningji, you should just call me uncle." Hinata Hiashi looked at his nephew in front of him, sighed in his heart and said.

"Master, etiquette cannot be abolished." Hyuga Neji still maintained the posture of saluting.

Hinata Hiashi couldn't muster up the courage to face his nephew in front of him. He could only sigh secretly and took out a piece of letter.

"Take your two sisters to the Uchiha clan's territory and give this letter to Elder Fugaku of the Uchiha clan. If possible, stay there for one night."

Hyuga Neji looked up with some confusion.

Hinata Hiashi was about to explain when he heard a commotion. So he said coldly, "Follow orders! Go out through the back door! Protect your two sisters."

"Yes!" Seeing this, Hyuga Neji could only nod and accept the order, then quickly hurried towards Hinata and Hanabi's room.

……

Hinata Hiashi slowly walked out of the gate of Hinata Hiashi's mansion. As soon as he walked out, he saw a team of fully armed branch family members led by three elders.

The members of his direct branch family were guarding the door and confronting the other party.

"What are you planning to do, elders?" Hinata Hiashi said coldly, "Are you worried that our family didn't participate in the village coup a few days ago, so you're planning to do the same within the family as well?"

"Hyuga Hiashi, someone as indecisive as you are no longer qualified to be the head of the Hyuga clan. Today, on behalf of the Hyuga clan elders, I strip you of your position as head," Hyuga Kazuki said. "I advise you to surrender and await the judgment of the clan rules!"

Hinata Hiashi looked at the situation in front of him and sighed. He did not expect that these elders would be so bold.

What he didn't expect was that several elders who usually had their own thoughts would actually unite at this time.

[Is the position of Hokage so tempting? ]

Hinata Hiashi sighed inwardly and remained silent for a while, calculating the time. He gave up resistance only after he estimated that Neji had already run away from the clan with his two daughters.

……

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Fugaku was also surprised when he saw the three little ones at the door.

When Uchiha Fugaku was the clan leader, he had a pretty good personal relationship with Hyuga Hiashi. However, if Hiashi wanted to find him for something, he wouldn't have sent three children to deliver the letter, not to mention that one of them couldn't even walk properly.

"Elder Fugaku, this is a letter from the clan leader." Neji meticulously handed Hiashi's letter to Uchiha Fugaku. Uchiha Fugaku simply read it at the door. After reading it, his face changed immediately. "You three, sleep here tonight."

"Mikoto!" Uchiha Fugaku turned around and called his wife's name, and soon, Uchiha Mikoto came out.

"Take good care of these three. I have to go to the Hokage Building urgently." After saying this, Uchiha Fugaku pushed Neji and Hinata who was holding Hanabi home, and hurried towards the Hokage Building.

……

In the Hokage Building, after receiving the news that Fugaku had come to report, Uchiha Tokou immediately took out the crystal ball given to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After injecting chakra simulating Hyuga Hiashi into it, Uchiha Douguang also saw the scene inside the Hyuga clan's territory.

A sealing technique has been placed on Hinata Hiashi, and two members of the branch family are guarding the door of his room. It seems that he is under house arrest.

"Dou Guang, should we take action in advance?" At this time, Kakashi slowly walked out of the shadow of the Hokage's office and asked.

"That's not necessary." Uchiha Douguang sneered and shook his head. "I was just thinking of a reason to punish the Hyuga clan, but I didn't expect them to take the initiative to bring the reason to my door. This time, I will take this opportunity to catch all those guys in the village who haven't shown up yet."

"I understand. I'll go get ready then," Kakashi said.

"By the way, don't go into those nooks and crannies in this office in the future. I don't know who you learned this bad habit from." Uchiha Douguang said.

Kakashi:......
