The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"!!!" Looking at the classified information in his hand, Onoki's face was filled with shock and seriousness!

"Old man, what's wrong?" Heitu looked at his old man curiously. He usually only saw such a rich expression when his old man hurt his back!

"Akatsuchi!" Normally, Onoki would joke around with Kurotsuchi, but the information he received today clearly put him out of the mood.

"Lord Tsuchikage!" Akatsuchi, Onoki's bodyguard, immediately appeared.

However, after summoning Akatsuchi, Onoki did not give any instructions, but instead paced back and forth.

Troublesome! Troublesome! It's really troublesome!

Worry and anxiety threw Onoki into a state of confusion, leaving him unsure of what to do.

"What is it? What scared you so much, old man?" Kurotsuchi asked in confusion, immediately picking up the intelligence report that Onoki had placed on his desk.

"What are you doing!" Onoki roared immediately.

"What the hell..." The sudden rebuke startled Kurotsuchi.

On ordinary days, Onoki is quite serious, a real old stubborn man. He would even scold his granddaughter occasionally, but his angry rebuke like today is quite rare.

There was almost none, after all, no matter how unruly Heitu was, she was still his most beloved granddaughter.

Such unusual behavior from Onoki was noticed not only by Kurotsuchi, but also by Akatsuchi.

"Hmph, you dare to be mean to me? I want to see!" After a slight pause, Kurotsuchi immediately picked up the intelligence report in her hand, showing no fear whatsoever.

At worst, she'd get a beating; the old man wouldn't kill her anyway, so she wasn't panicking at all.

Chitu looked at Heitu with admiration: Heitu, you're a real man!

"You... Hmph!" What could he do with his own granddaughter? He could hit her, but it wouldn't work. This silly girl never learns her lesson, you know. He couldn't just kill her, could he?

Although this information is currently classified, it will likely spread throughout the ninja world soon, and not only Kurotsuchi but even ordinary people will know about it.

After all, incorporating Kirigakure was such a major event that would greatly enhance Konoha's prestige, and he didn't believe that Konoha wouldn't publicize it!

The fact that Konoha had previously incorporated Sunagakure had already caused quite a stir in the ninja world, significantly reducing the workload of Iwagakure. Now, Kirigakure has joined the fray.

However! This isn't about the workload; this is a much bigger problem! This Fifth Hokage is truly…

Oh well, let my lively and adorable granddaughter watch it if she wants.

"Wow! Is this Fifth Hokage that powerful?! He even absorbed Kirigakure!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed, shocked as she looked at the intelligence report in her hand. "But isn't he afraid of overeating himself by swallowing both Sand and Kirigakure ninja?"

"Huh?" Onoki suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Kurotsuchi: "What did you just say?"

"What did you say?" Hei Tu looked at his old man in a daze.

"I'll eat myself to death! Yes, I'll eat myself to death!" As if his pulse had been opened, Onoki's internal storm was instantly activated.

No matter how bad a village is, there will always be ninjas who love their village.

Even if one yields temporarily, a sense of dissatisfaction will always remain in one's heart, though it may gradually dissipate over time.

But offering just a tiny spark might ignite the anger in their hearts.

Especially the Sand Village and the Mist Village, those two ninja villages were practically fighting tooth and nail during the Third Shinobi World War, so if he stirs up a little trouble, it shouldn't be a big problem!

Moreover, how could everyone in a large village with tens of thousands of ninjas possibly be completely convinced?

"Kurotsuchi, if Iwagakure were also conquered by Konoha, what would your reaction be?" Onoki deliberately avoided asking the more composed Akatsuchi, instead turning his attention to the ever-unconventional Kurotsuchi, hoping to get a good answer.

Prudent people tend to have many concerns and are more likely to compromise, while those with unconventional thinking are more unruly.

"That Fifth Hokage?"

"Hmm..." Onoki stroked his beard, anticipating Kurotsuchi's answer. That unruly, silly girl would probably lie low for now, then cause a huge uproar.

"Of course I'd be happy! He's so handsome, unlike you, you old geezer!" Kurotsuchi immediately said dreamily, "If you ask me, you should just step down and hand over the Tsuchikage position to me! Then you can use Iwagakure as your dowry and marry the Hokage in style, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"..." Kurotsuchi's answer was deafening, and for a moment, Onoki was completely stunned.

Is there something wrong with my parenting style?

The question flashed through his mind, and Onoki flew into a rage, about to explode, when he was suddenly struck by a sharp pain: "Ouch... my beard..."

"This is bad!" Seeing the old man clearly losing his temper and then pulling out his own beard, Hei Tu broke out in a cold sweat.

I feel like I could get a beating at any moment!

With cold sweat beading on his forehead, Hei Tu stared intently at the old man rubbing his beard, then quietly retreated. Upon reaching the entrance of the Tuying Building, he immediately took off running.

"Hmph! You brat, you gotta run fast!" Onoki yelled angrily at the door.

Some ninjas and even civilians passing by the entrance only glanced up, after all, they were already used to the interaction between the Tsuchikage and Kurotsuchi.

Every time, it's the Hokage who gets really angry at Kurotsuchi, but occasionally we get to see some rare footage of Kurotsuchi getting beaten up.

This time, it was just another ordinary incident where the Tsuchikage got angry, so naturally, it didn't cause any ripples.

"That brat!" Onoki muttered resentfully, rubbing his beard with a pained expression.

Lord Tsuchikage, if you can't bear to beat up Kurotsuchi, then don't scare her. Also, please give the order quickly.

Chi Tu, who had been waiting for orders, felt even more resentful. He had been kneeling there for a long time!

"Akatsuchi, go... send someone to Kumogakure and tell them I want to meet with the Raikage." I originally wanted Akatsuchi to go to Kumogakure personally, but considering that the Third Raikage had been worn down to death by him, and the need for communication between the two villages...

To prevent Akatsuchi, a top-tier fighter from Iwagakure, from being killed by those barbarians from Kumogakure, Onoki changed his mind and said, "Let the Raikage choose the location."

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage." Upon receiving the order, Akatsuchi immediately disappeared.

"Sigh! Even without the Fifth Hokage, who single-handedly overwhelmed both villages, Konoha, which merged with Sunagakure and Kirigakure, is still a terrifying opponent!" Onoki sighed softly.

Thinking back to Konoha's battle against four villages, even if they weren't fighting at the same time, and even if the Dark Ninja was still present in Konoha.

But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse! Even though Konoha was severely weakened, Onoki felt that his Iwagakure village alone probably couldn't take down Konoha after the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, took over.
