As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha

Chapter 16: The Big Trap and the Combination Punch.

Leaf.

The Hyuga clan's ancestral home.

Unlike the usual peaceful atmosphere in the tribal area.

At this very moment, the members of the Hyuga clan were packing their belongings in an orderly manner, and then, without even needing to be instructed, they left in an orderly fashion to head to their new clan territory.

Today is a big day for the Hyuga clan's relocation.

This atmosphere left Fugaku, who had come to the Hyuga clan intending to learn from his good brother, completely bewildered.

The Hyuga clan's condition is getting worse.

Do they think that being far away from the village center is a good thing?

Brother Fugaku's expression was subtle; he truly couldn't grasp the clan's thoughts.

After all, both he and the elders of the Uchiha clan believed that relocating the clan's territory meant a decline in their status within the village, a loss of trust from the village, and a move away from the center of power—a real form of suppression.

He racked his brains to suppress the discontent of his clan. Although they no longer complain openly under his control, the relocation date is still being delayed.

How did he do that?

Looking up into the distance, Fugaku's expression was complex.

The clansmen who helped with the relocation looked at the clan chief with genuine respect, and according to his analysis, it didn't seem like Hyuga Hijima was intentionally showing off.

Having served as clan leader for so long, he was quite clear about whether the clansmen's respect was genuine.

"Chengzi, this is you."

When Hyuga Himeko came over, yawning as he did chest-expanding exercises, Uchiha Fugaku sincerely gave him a thumbs up.

You've gotten too cocky, haven't you?

Chief Nichiro glanced at Fugaku with surprise. "You call him Seiko too?"

However, upon closer examination, Hinata Hima realized the truth.

This kid must have been suppressed for too long, and today he's determined to finally get his revenge. It seems he's decided to take action against those who are monitoring the Uchiha clan.

Hinata Hijiro was quite certain that those who were jealous had received a hint from the clan leader and their impression of Fugaku had changed considerably. They had been flattered a lot within the clan and had complained to him before. This time, besides seeking advice, they also wanted to regain some face.

In short, it felt a bit floaty.

Okay, this guy really doesn't realize he picked the wrong target to show off to.

Hinata Hisei reflected on himself and realized that he had overestimated Fugaku.

Come to think of it, from all aspects of the original work, this kid is neither a qualified clan leader nor a shrewd strategist. It's not hard to understand how someone with his personality could raise such an amazing filial son.

Having gained a deep understanding of Fugaku's wisdom, Hyuga Himaru was somewhat troubled.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Fugaku's attitude, but rather that he felt that with Fugaku's intelligence, if he didn't personally guide him, he would probably be taken down by the old village chief in no time.

This is not the ending he wanted.

He led his brother Fugaku to the reception room, where Nichisei took a sip of the hot tea that Ushima handed him, and then looked up.

"So, bro, you're planning to make a move?"

He didn't have the time or inclination to teach Fugaku how to manage his clan; that was a matter of talent and ability, something Fugaku had no hope of ever doing.

After all, Brother Fugaku is even more ruthless than the old village chief in some ways. He would exchange the lives of his entire clan for his son's future. Expecting someone like that to treat his clan well or care about them is utter nonsense.

"To be honest, Chengzi."

"After your reminder that day, I've made up my mind and decided to teach the Third Hokage a lesson. You know that the Uchiha clan is the founder of Konoha, and I am the head of the clan."

As he spoke, Fugaku followed the example of the clan chief, elegantly picking up his teacup and choosing to down it in one gulp, but the boiling water made his expression change drastically upon tasting it.

With the Hyuga clan leader in front of him, he couldn't afford to be impolite or lose face, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed it down with all his might!

Chief Nichisei glanced at Fugaku's flushed face, his expression somewhat subtle, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say to him.

The scene was somewhat awkward.

half an hour.

Fugaku, who had finally recovered, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I plan to make my move as soon as I get back, catching three generations off guard!"

He has thought it through completely.

Regardless of the impact of this incident, at least he gave his people an explanation after taking action!

Moreover, the third generation is destined to suffer this loss in silence!

Is it wrong for the guards to arrest suspicious individuals?

Absolutely not!

"Brother, you're brilliant. So, what's next?"

Hinata Hijiri nodded admiringly, looking like he was listening attentively.

"Then find out their identity and demand an explanation from their family and relatives!"

"It's only natural," said Fugaku.

"And then what?"

Hinata Hiroshi said calmly.

And then...

The Fugaku brothers fell silent.

Yes.

Then again?

His brows furrowed in silence, and Fugaku's eyes held a slight bewilderment.

"So, brother, you didn't use this incident to gain any real benefit for the Uchiha?"

Hinata Himeko asked suspiciously.

"The nobles are still seen as the culprits of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage in the eyes of ordinary people. What's the difference between then and now?"

There might be some differences.

The higher-ups will understand the Uchiha's determination to fight to the bitter end.

this.

A bead of sweat appeared on Fugaku's forehead.

Oh no, I showed off too early!

But Fugaku was always a man who could bend and stretch!

He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming sincere as he gazed at Hinata Himo's handsome face.

"Brother Cheng, teach me!"

Chief Nichisei raised an eyebrow, his expression slightly hesitant, seemingly somewhat disappointed in Fugaku.

"Mikoto will be there soon!"

Fugaku spoke again.

"Speaking of which, I also miss Sasuke."

Chief Richeng smiled and naturally continued the conversation.

"So, Fugaku-kun, we're all on the same side, there's no need for us to act tough with each other. Why are you still clinging to Uchiha traditions in front of me?"

"Look how awesome I am, but I never brag to others about how awesome I am? Because even if I don't brag, people still know how awesome I am, so I don't need to pretend."

Brother Fugaku didn't dare to say much, he just kept smiling apologetically.

This is also his fault; he's been a bit excited lately, and his Uchiha bloodline has become active again.

"So, Yuezi, you see..."

After a brief pause, Nichisei looked at Fugaku.

Fugaku was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly.

"I'm listening, Cheng-ge, please continue."

Chief Richeng was fairly satisfied with Yuezi's attitude and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Politics cannot be explained in a few words, but Yuezi, you must understand that sometimes a combination of punches is more powerful than a single big punch."

Combination punches and a big shove?

Fugaku frowned, finally seeing the hand that had been patting his shoulder now patting his face.

"Of course, relatively speaking, a big 'bucket' is more humiliating, but it depends on what kind of ending you want."

Got it, arresting a single person is just putting pressure on the higher-ups.

After apprehending someone, combine that with other actions, and you've got a combo punch!

Fugaku's eyes showed understanding, but he still didn't know exactly what to do.

And Chief Richeng did not disappoint him.

"Science shows that it's not just the Sharingan that can make tailed beasts go berserk, but also some kind of hallucinogenic drug."

Richeng said with a smile.

"As far as I know, Mr. Snake once used this method to make the Eight-Tails go berserk and wreak havoc on Kumogakure."

"And the one who ultimately destroyed Mr. Snake's laboratory was none other than Mr. Snake's teacher, who was also the old village chief himself."

and then?

Fugaku's breathing quickened, and he vaguely understood something.

"Kushina Uzumaki was delivered by Biwako Sarutobi."

The highly persuasive words reached Fugaku's ears.

At this very moment, a conspiracy drama that would overturn his worldview was officially unfolding in his mind!
