Namikaze Mirai didn't care and sat down directly, her posture quite relaxed, casually leaning back in the chair.

This natural performance slightly moved Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting at the top of the conference table.

She gave him a deep look.

Then, after a moment of contemplation, he composed himself and said...

"Three days ago, the delegation sent by Kumogakure to Konoha was brutally murdered at night!"

"I think you've all heard about this, haven't you?"

The moment he finished speaking, the entire conference room erupted in cheers.

"Is this happening?"

"Who has the audacity to kill the envoy from Kumogakure? Are they trying to force Konoha into war?"

Some ninjas who heard about this for the first time had their expressions change instantly.

Killing a envoy from a major ninja village or a ninja who came to sign a peace treaty carries entirely different implications.

This is a major diplomatic incident!

However, most of the other ninjas remained calm, as the incident had already occurred several days prior and most of them were aware of it.

After glancing at everyone in the conference room and seeing that his words had achieved the desired effect, Hiruzen Sarutobi fixed his gaze on Mirai Namikaze.

"What are your thoughts on this matter in the future?"

There seemed to be a chill in his eyes.

"After all, you were the one who caused this."

Another uproar erupted in the conference room.

"Namikaze Mirai? Isn't he Minato's younger brother? Why would he do something like this?"

"Doesn't he know what the consequences of killing the envoy from Kumogakure will be?"

Many angry and confused gazes were focused on Namikaze Mirai.

A cold smile appeared in Hiruzen Sarutobi's gray-brown eyes.

Mirai Namikaze holds a special position as the younger brother of the Fourth Hokage.

With the added advantage of this identity, coupled with the other party's unruly nature.

Normally, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not dare to be too harsh on him.

But in this situation, many high-ranking officials of Konoha and the heads of various ninja clans are at the conference table.

With this immense momentum, why fear that future waves might arise?

This subtle change in expression naturally caught the eye of Mirai Namikaze.

"It was indeed me."

He admitted it directly and openly.

This sparked another uproar.

"Why! Future! Why would you do something like this?"

"If the Raikage launches an attack now, will the village have to continue the war?"

Danzo, who was sitting next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, heard Mirai Namikaze openly admit it.

His expression froze for a moment.

Does this guy even understand the situation?

You just admitted it so easily?

"The Raikage was furious when he found out about this. If we can't calm his anger down, war could break out again at any time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Mirai Namikaze.

The atmosphere in the meeting room reached freezing point.

Many of Konoha's high-ranking officials looked at Namikaze Mirai with anger in their eyes.

They had barely forgotten the pain of World War III, and had finally ushered in peace, only to have war potentially break out again because of something like this.

And the culprit who caused all this is sitting here so calmly?

"In the future! You wantonly kill the envoys of Kumogakure. Do you still have any regard for the village?"

Danzo, finally seizing the opportunity, angrily pinned a label on Namikaze Mirai.

"Danzo, why were those Cloud Village envoys there? Aren't you going to explain it to everyone?"

Leaning back calmly in his chair, Miki Namikaze gazed indifferently at Danzo.

His questioning just now seemed like a fart.

"In the future, you don't need to change the subject. The issue we're discussing now is how to quell the Raikage's anger."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"It's because of my daughter."

Hiashi Hyuga, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, the senior executives around the conference table exchanged glances.

How is this related to Hinata?

All they knew was that Namikaze Mirai killed the Kumogakure ninja, but they didn't know the specific details.

This was also the result of Hiruzen Sarutobi's deliberate manipulation.

"Alright, Hiashi, isn't the Hyuga matter over? We're talking about Namikaze Mirai now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression showed slight displeasure. Why did Hiashi have to speak up at this moment?

Hiashi Hyuga took a deep breath.

"Please allow me to finish speaking."

"That night, the envoys from Kumogakure took advantage of my daughter's birthday banquet and the clan's lax defenses to kidnap my daughter Hinata. It was in order to save my daughter Hinata that I had no choice but to kill those Kumogakure ninja."

As he recounted his story, the ninjas around the conference table gradually relaxed from their initial frozen expressions.

"I see. So, Mirai Namikaze had no choice but to intervene to save Hinata."

"But there's no reason for the Cloud Village envoys to kidnap Hinata, is there? What is their purpose?"

Danzo frantically winked at Hyuga Hiashi.

What are those bastards, Japan Football Club, doing?

They've explained the cause and effect so simply, how can they put pressure on Bofeng Future?

Wasn't the matter with Hinata already over?

But what Hiashi Hyuga said next made his face stiffen and he was completely stunned.

"Knowing the terrible consequences of this matter, my brother Hizashi had no choice but to sacrifice his life to appease the Raikage in order to quell his anger."

Hiashi Hyuga's voice carried a hint of sadness, and his pure white, clear eyes also held a sorrow that was unlike his usual expression.

The ninjas at the conference table were all in an uproar.

The mere killing of the envoy from Kumogakure was enough to quell the anger of Hyuga, one of the two great clans of Konoha, by sacrificing the life of the clan leader's younger brother.

The Hidden Cloud Village is far too domineering.

Besides, isn't this ultimately their fault?

Danzo could no longer hold back.

"Enough! Japan!"

Chapter 37 I'll be the Hokage! I will never be so weak!

Using the corpse of Hyuga Hiashi's younger brother, Hizashi, to satisfy the Raikage was a choice that he and Hiruzen and the others agreed upon.

As a member of a branch family, Hyuga Hizashi was put into the Caged Bird Seal, and upon death, he would unleash the destructive Byakugan.

No need to worry about your eyes rolling back.

Moreover, since Hizashi looks exactly like Hiashi, he is enough to fool people and be presented to the Raikage as Hiashi's corpse.

This portion should be enough to satisfy Raikage.

This is the perfect choice.

But what they didn't expect happened: Hiashi Hyuga so easily revealed the results of their private discussion.

It was at this meeting, specifically designed to put pressure on Naruto's future.

How can you bring something like this into the open?

A flicker of anger flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

What's wrong with Japan's J-Football team?
