Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Anyone with a discerning eye would, if not certain, would most likely have doubts…

Isn't this just a pretext to instigate internal strife?

Interestingly, the Kaguya clan was extremely excited about this, believing it to be a sign of the Third Mizukage's support for them.

This clan possesses the bloodline limit 'Shikokumai', which allows them to manipulate bones for attack and defense, and also gives them an astonishing ability to heal external injuries.

The tribesmen are mostly arrogant and cruel, and they admire bravery and fighting.

The purpose of this letter also made Hizashi feel that this group was difficult to judge.

Because the Third Mizukage wanted to seize a larger share of the law.

He made public the diplomatic relations between Kumogakure and Konoha, as well as the letters from other hidden villages supporting Konoha and condemning Kumogakure for a long time.

This was to demonstrate that the situation in the ninja world was indeed very tense, in order to justify his implementation of the 'Village of Blood Mist'.

If the Kaguya clan saw this…

They actually hoped that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had influence in the ninja world, would speak up for them after they became the Fourth Mizukage through their own strength!

Because the Kaguya clan doesn't have a good reputation within Kirigakure.

Therefore, the Kaguya clan hoped that Hyuga Tenzo would take action and make arrangements in advance...

Seeing his son's twitching lips, Hyuga Tenzo shook his head helplessly.

His reaction at the time was similar to that of the Japanese...

I don't know how to evaluate this group anymore.

It's not surprising that he's aware of his bad reputation in the village...

But can't you see that this could very well be a conspiracy by the Third Mizukage?

They even dreamt of being tricked by the fourth generation!

Therefore, after witnessing the Third Mizukage's techniques, Hyuga Tenzo actually felt a sense of relief.

Thankfully, the Hokage is the Hokage.

Everything is afraid of comparison!

Sitting in the Hyuga clan leader's seat, he naturally resisted the Hokage extending his influence into the clan...

However, after Hizashi joined the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi was generous with the treatment and position he deserved...

Of course, these measures were also intended to make the branch family yearn for the village, and were a divisive tactic for the Hyuga clan.

But at least they were reasonable, and besides, it was the Hyuga who split up the family, so no matter how much conflict there was, the matter would always remain within the family...

Where does it resemble the mist?

They're going to start an unlimited water shadow competition if they disagree on something!

Let alone being elected the Fourth Mizukage, with the Kaguya clan's intellect, it's hard to say whether any of them will even be alive in a few years!

Hyuga Tenzo and Hizashi exchanged a glance.

The two couldn't help but admire the power of the 'Corpse Bone Pulse'.

Such astonishing intelligence, able to endure for a thousand years like the meticulous Hyuga clan, can only be explained by their fighting prowess.

“Father, there are many vacancies in the Dark Guard and patrol units, especially in the Byakugan.”

"Lord Sakumo reserved six positions for the Hyuga clan."

Hyuga Hizashi slowly said, "I have delivered the message. Whether you choose to agree or refuse will not affect my invitation to the branch family brothers."

Hyuga Tenzo narrowed his eyes.

He had long anticipated this day would come…

The Hokage's influence wouldn't be satisfied with just taking away one branch family member of the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Hizashi, however, will not stand still; he will definitely try to win over members of the branch family to prove his worth.

"If it weren't for what happened in Kirigakure, I would have become a laughingstock after only a few months..."

"But in comparison, Naruto might have some merit."

"It's better to guide than to block. Let's see how it goes for now." Hyuga Tenzo closed his eyes and thought to himself, "If the Hokage goes too far, it's not too late to demand an explanation!"

A moment later, Hyuga Tenzo slowly opened his eyes.

"There's no time to lose, whether it's about the Hidden Mist or the matter of the branching out and joining village affairs..."

"I want to speak with the Hokage in person!"

"Hitsashi, could you go and report this?"

Hyuga Hizashi looked at his father with considerable surprise.

As expected of the head of the Hyuga clan... his ability to change his stance according to the wind is truly admirable!

This is because they don't want to give all the credit to their son, but instead bypass him and talk to the Hokage personally to seek a new level of checks and balances.

"What, scared?" Hyuga Tenzo said calmly.

"Hmph..." Hyuga Hizashi sneered.

Fifteen minutes later, Hyuga Tenzo and Hizashi arrived at the Hokage Building.

Upon entering the house, Hyuga Tenzo's heart skipped a beat.

Why is Shimura Danzo here too?

In his memory, this person was almost on par with the Third Mizukage…

After reluctantly handing over the letter from the Kaguya clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe and started smoking, seemingly lost in thought.

Shimura Danzo let out a heavy snort, his gaze sharp as a knife, and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hyuga Tenzo.

Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but smile slightly.

He wanted to pat his father on the shoulder and return his words: "What, scared?"

048 What does Hyuga want to destroy? What does he want to overthrow? Shimura Danzo felt a suffocating sensation, like a python coiling around him.

Hyuga Tenzo was in a bad mood.

He encountered the worst-case scenario...

If we say that Hyuga Hizashi's skill in labeling others is one...

Then the middle-aged bandaged man in front of him must have jumped at least ten times!

In Konoha, the thing the major ninja clans feared most in the past was that while walking in the woods, Danzo Shimura would suddenly appear behind them and say something like the village needed a genius...

"The Hyuga clan and Kirigakure have had private communication for thirty years..."

Danzo Shimura spoke expressionlessly: "What have you been discussing with the Kaguya clan all these years? The Kaguya clan actually believes that the Hyuga clan can influence the Hokage's decisions..."

"Did they get the village's permission? What are Hinata's motives?"

"What are you trying to imply with this letter? What is Hyuga trying to overthrow?"

"What does Hinata want to destroy? Who's behind Hinata? Who's ordering you around?"

Danzo Shimura coldly uttered one question after another.

Hyuga Tenzo's face gradually turned pale.

Damn it, the Dark Side of the Ninja World and the Root of Konoha truly lives up to its name.

But he's not one to be trifled with either; the Hyuga clan leader won't accept this label that's been forced upon him!

Danzo Kashimura waved his hand, his voice gradually growing louder:

"Hyuga's motive is to collude with foreign powers and hedge his bets!"

"It appears to be a proactive report, but in reality, it's a malicious metaphor! It's an attempt to compare the Hokage to the Mizukage, and the establishment of patrol units to the Blood Mist Village of Kirigakure!"

"This is destroying the Will of Fire, this is digging up the roots of Konoha..."

Danzo Shimura turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said:

"I think the Third Mizukage is behind the Hyuga clan, and they're using a ruse to harm the village!"

"By leveraging the power of the Hokage and the village, they are recklessly amassing wealth, conveying to the outside world that the Hyuga are the true decision-makers of Konoha, the 'Shadow Hokage'..."

Hyuga Hizashi, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.

Surprisingly, it actually makes some sense.

The anger that had just been stirred up in Hyuga Tenzo's heart was completely suppressed by one logically coherent big hat after another.

With his hands and feet ice cold, he even felt a bit of admiration for Shimura Danzo.

Although the Hyuga and Konoha are not comparable in size, they are both high-ranking organizations with virtually no say in the matter…

Hyuga Tenzo also used similar methods to suppress the branch family.

However, compared to Shimura Danzo's divergent thinking and his tendency to escalate complex issues, it's far inferior...

"You're speechless now? You're trying to come up with a plan after you've been exposed?"

Danzo Shimura's tone grew increasingly cold: "You Hyuga claim to be a powerful clan, so who were your ancestors?"

"Did they produce Madara Uchiha, who could fight alongside the First Hokage? Or Izuna Uchiha, who could rival Tobirama-sensei?"

"Even the Uchiha wouldn't dare do this, how dare you Hyuga!" Shimura Danzo slammed his fist on the table, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he had activated his Byakugan.

These words struck a nerve with Hyuga Tenzo.

The Byakugan and Sharingan, along with the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, have long been considered the two great families of Konoha's dojutsu (eye techniques).

But anyone with a discerning eye can see where the parallels really lie. To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a name-grabbing attempt...

That's what Shimura Danzo meant.

Compared to the Uchiha, the village has been quite tolerant of the Hyuga, yet you still want to push your luck?
