The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Huh?!" Inside the Hokage Building, only Shikaku's bewildered "Ah" could be heard.

"..." Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a silent glance.

"What do we do now?" Koharu looked at her old partner speechlessly.

"What else can we do? First, gather the ninja forces and be on high alert to prevent the Iwa and Kumo ninja from attacking Konoha after they get the news!" Mitokado Homura said seriously.

The ninja world is neither too big nor too small. When Konoha suddenly swallowed up Sunagakure, which village didn't get the news?

However, this major event happened too suddenly and ended too quickly. As a result, the other villages were unsure of Konoha's strength and dared not act rashly.

Consider this: the five universally acknowledged great ninja villages, even among which there are differences in strength. Yet, suddenly, the largest of these villages swiftly and decisively absorbed another village.

Anyone would panic in that situation.

Otherwise, with several villages entangled in each other and harboring grudges, war would probably have broken out long ago, and it would most likely have been an alliance to besiege Konoha together.

"Let alone now, we didn't even have the authority to mobilize ninja forces before," Koharu Utatane said worriedly, rolling her eyes at Homura Mitokado.

Is it really a good thing for such a strong-willed and warlike person to become the Fifth Hokage?!

This question popped into Koharu's mind.

"Of course we should go to Danzo!" Mitokado felt that his old partner was probably getting senile. Just because they didn't have the authority didn't mean that Danzo didn't.

Even just having the authority of Root is enough. When Root ninjas engage in battle with ninjas from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, the border ninjas will be able to react in time and won't be caught off guard.

What? Mist Ninja?

Neither Mitokado Homura nor Utatane Koharu believed that Kirigakure, which was comparable to Sunagakure, could withstand the Fifth Hokage's single-handed annihilation of Sunagakure.

"On the other hand, the Fifth Hokage was actually quite competent, at least he reduced the original four opponents to two." After a moment's thought, Koharu Utatane immediately dismissed her previous idea.

Wasn't the Fifth Hokage good? The Fifth Hokage was amazing!

As long as they manage their internal affairs well, they will eventually be able to perfectly integrate the Sand Village and Mist Village into Konoha, allowing Konoha to reach a new level of strength.

Given time, we will definitely be able to unify the ninja world and become the only ninja village of our kind.

"Let's go find Danzo." Mitokado Homura was the first to stand up.

"Um."

Although the two are not young, they were quite strong in the past. There were even rumors that Mitokado Homura, as a master of ninja tools, was as strong as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even if it's just bragging, since he's managed to run into obstacles for three generations, his strength must not be too weak.

The two hurried along and soon arrived at the Dark Division.

"Halt!" The Root members who had been hiding in the shadows immediately jumped out and blocked the two.

"Hmph!" Mitomon Homura snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction, "Go and inform him that I have something to discuss with him."

"We've already informed Lord Danzo!" the Root member blocking the way said indifferently.

"What brings you here, old man?" Danzo appeared shortly after, leaning on his cane.

Danzo was extremely impatient. His subordinates had just finished treating the Akatsuki member and were preparing to give him a proper welcome when these two showed up!

"The Fifth Hokage has taken Shikaku and the Flying Thunder God Team to Kirigakure. We need ninja forces to go to the border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Grass to prevent the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village from getting wind of this and launching a war." Mitokado Homura succinctly explained the reason for their visit.

"What?!" Danzo's single eye was filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

What the hell do you call a surprise?! This is what a surprise is!

He truly hadn't expected Bai Yue to act so quickly!

He thought he was the most radical of the radicals! But he never imagined he was still too conservative!

"That kid! That was so sudden!"

"Sigh, who can argue with that! The Sand Village is still dealing with a whole bunch of messy things, and now they're stirring up trouble for the Mist Village." Mitokado Homura sighed. How leisurely they used to be! The Third Hokage handled ninety percent of the work. After they finished their own tasks, they would leisurely drink tea and chat.

I'm so busy these days I barely have time to breathe! When I get home and lie in bed, I even dream about piles of documents!

Although it was tiring, it was also enjoyable. The growth of Konoha was something to be happy about for all of them.

"They didn't even invite me along!" Danzo slammed his cane down heavily, expressing his dissatisfaction. "They were just with Root not long ago, and they didn't even tell me about such a big event as attacking Kirigakure. It's outrageous!"

"…………" Mitokado Homura looked at Danzo speechlessly, thinking that he was angry about something! It turned out that he was angry because the Fifth Hokage didn't take him.

All I can say is, you're truly something else, Danzo!

When it comes to stirring up trouble, you're more proactive than anyone else.

"Although I acknowledge the Fifth Boss's strength, aren't you even a little worried about his safety?" Koharu Utatane said quietly.

"Mist Ninja? Heh~ Mere sand ninjas, how could they possibly compare to even a fraction of Hakugetsu?" As a witness to Hakugetsu's display of power, Danzo had complete recognition of his strength.

Once he takes action, the severely weakened village of Kirigakure will inevitably have no choice but to submit, just like the village of Sunagakure.

Even when he returned from Sunagakure, Danzo had imagined more than once whether Hakugetsu could successfully resist him if his opponent was not Sunagakure but Konoha.

No matter how Danzo calculated, everything collapsed immediately after that move called Silver Wheel Transformation Explosion appeared!

Unless they are broken up into smaller groups and all of Konoha's ninjas are scattered around the world, only in this way can they avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.

Wow! That might be a little unbelievable.

But Danzo seems to have started to idolize the Fifth Hokage!

"Alright, if you have nothing else to say, then I'll go arrange for people to go to the border!" Danzo turned and left.

Although he was very unhappy that Bai Yue went to the Mizuki Ninja without taking him, he still had to do what needed to be done.

If Baiyue were to once again take over Kirigakure without bloodshed, then Iwagakure and Kumogakure would inevitably have to take action.

It's always good to be prepared!

"That Danzo guy!" Koharu Utatane stared at Danzo's back with dissatisfaction. This guy is getting more and more annoying!

"Alright, we should get back to work. There's so much more to do since we incorporated Sunagakure; we've got a lot to keep us busy!"

"I heard that Chiyo and Ebizo, that brother and sister pair, will soon be coming to Konoha to work with us."

"Chiyo...?" Mitokado Homura was momentarily dazed, and the memory of Chiyo, the most beautiful girl in the Sand Village, surfaced in his mind.
