An elder from the branch family asked.

"Hiashi and Hiashi are twin brothers. The Kumo-nin can't tell them apart."

It was obvious that Hyuga Tokunaga's words meant that he wanted Hyuga Hizashi to die instead of Hyuga Hiashi, to give the Cloud Ninja a satisfactory explanation.

"I agree with the Great Elder. Isn't the existence of the branch family just for this moment?"

An elder from the clan said.

Next, the elders of the main family expressed their agreement with Hyuga Tokunaga's words; while the elders of the branch family frowned and remained silent, with extremely ugly expressions.

From beginning to end, Hyuga Hiashi did not speak a word and did not even look at Hyuga Hizashi.

Finally, after the meeting to discuss countermeasures ended, it was decided that Hyuga Hizashi would die instead of Hyuga Hiashi.

Chapter 347 Reactions from all parties

"Hiashi-sama! The Sou family and the others want you to die."

After listening to Hinata Hizashi's account of the results of the family meeting, Hinata Jing said angrily.

"This is the fate of the separated family."

Hinata Hizashi said calmly.

“But I won’t give up!

"Master Hizashi, are you willing?"

Hinata Jing growled, his face becoming ferocious with anger.

As a member of a branch family, one can sacrifice for the family, but the main family should not take it for granted that they are consumables that can be discarded at will.

At this moment, Hyuga Jing once again deeply felt the powerlessness of being a member of the Hyuga branch and having no control over his own destiny.

Hinata Jing felt even more disgusted with the caged bird curse seal on his forehead.

The room fell into silence, with only the faint sound of the two people's breathing being heard.

After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hizashi smiled and said to Hyuga Kagami: "As a branch family, I am very unwilling; but as a younger brother, I am willing to make sacrifices for my brother.

Besides, I was the one who killed that Cloud Ninja."

"Hizashi-sama."

Hearing this, Hinata Jing was slightly startled, and then shouted with a complicated expression.

Then, Hinata Jing said anxiously: "Master Hizashi, perhaps there is still hope, and you don't have to make sacrifices."

"Mirror, what do you mean?"

Hinata Hizashi looked at the Hyuga Mirror in surprise.

"Hizashi-sama, I'm going to see Fuuchi. I just got back from the security team."

"Uchiha Yuan? Haha, I almost forgot that you have a close relationship with him.

But this is our Hyuga clan's business and has nothing to do with him, so he should have no reason to interfere.

And even if he intervened, what would happen? He probably couldn't change the decision of the third generation."

Hinata Hizashi smiled and shook his head.

"Hizashi-sama, Fuuji said that he has decided to represent the Uchiha clan in supporting us Hyuuga tomorrow."

Hinata Jing said.

"What!

Did he really say that?"

Hinata Hizashi's expression suddenly changed and he cried out in surprise.

Uchiha Yuan's statement of support alone has limited influence, it only shows the deep friendship between him and Hinata Jing.

But if he expressed support for the Hyuga clan on behalf of the Uchiha clan, it would definitely have a huge impact.

Sarutobi Hiruzen can force the Hinata, but he would never dare to force the Uchiha.

When he thought of this, Hinata Hizashi was shocked, and at the same time, he felt a sense of frustration.

Although the Hyuga clan considers itself a powerful family in the ninja world and has been competing secretly with the Uchiha clan; however, from the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen forced the Hyuga clan, it can be seen that in the eyes of Konoha's high-ranking officials, the strength of the Hyuga clan is far inferior to that of the Uchiha clan.

After being shocked, Hyuga Hiashi became suspicious again and asked, "Did Uchiha Yuan ever say why he was willing to support us Hyuga?"

“Yuan said that the shameless demands of the Kumo Ninja not only humiliated us Hyuga, but also insulted the security team.

The security team is responsible for Konoha's security and patrols, and is very aware of what happened last night."

Hinata Jing said.

"That is indeed a reason, but the Uchiha clan should have more considerations than that. I didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku would agree that Uchiha Yuan would represent the Uchiha clan."

After a pause, Hyuga Hizashi continued, "In recent years, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village has become increasingly intense. The Uchiha clan should be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to win over us, the Hyuga clan."

"Hiashi-sama, Fuuji said he wanted to meet with Hiashi-sama tonight."

Hinata Jing said.

Hinata Hizashi's brows relaxed slightly and he said, "No matter what, with Uchiha's intervention, perhaps the situation will really change.

Even if it does not contribute to the situation, it is enough to embarrass three generations.

I will go to see my brother immediately."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's harsh oppression made the Hyuga clan full of anger and resentment towards him.

On the other hand, after the guards learned that Uchiha Yuan would support the Hyuga clan in the name of the family, the news soon reached the ears of Uchiha Itachi.

As a double agent for the village and the Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi immediately went to the Hokage Building after learning the news.

"Itachi, your message came just in time. Thank you for your hard work."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a look of satisfaction as he looked at Uchiha Itachi who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"Sir, according to my inquiries, the support for the Hyuga was initiated by Uchiha Yuan.

After talking to him, my father agreed to let him represent the Uchiha clan in supporting the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Itachi said solemnly.

"Fugaku is trying to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the Hyuuga. What does he want to do if the Uchiha and Hyuuga unite!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned ugly.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes flashed slightly and his brows were tightly furrowed.

He thought of those voices in his family clamoring for a coup to seize the position of Hokage; once the Uchiha and Hyuga united, these voices might not just be empty shouting.

"Itachi, we must stop Uchiha Yuan tomorrow. Can I entrust this task to you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Please rest assured, Third-generation Lord, I will do my best to stop Uchiha Yuan."

Uchiha Itachi said quickly.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's performance, Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face showed a satisfied smile.

He said: “I know that I have wronged the Hyuga clan this time, but this is all for the sake of peace.

The stalemate with the Kumo ninja over the years, the number of ninja casualties and material losses have placed a huge burden on the village.

The Uchiha clan would not have thought of all this, and neither would the other ninja clans in the village; but I need to consider this, because Konoha needs peace.

That is why I am unwilling to let the Cloud Ninjas tear up the peace treaty for just one reason.

For the future of Konoha, you can sacrifice Hinata today, and you can sacrifice me tomorrow."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked at him with respect.

[Third-generation master, the Hyuga clan cannot understand you, father and Uchiha Yuan will not understand you, but I understand you, everything is for Konoha. ]

At Nara Shikaku's home, Yamanaka Inichi and Nara Shikaku were playing chess, and next to them sat the huge figure of Akimichi Choza.

"Shikaku, what do you think Uchiha Yuan meant by what he asked Kino and Kai to convey?"

Yamanaka Haiyi placed a chess piece and then spoke.

"He is telling us ninjas that the Hokage clan is trying to win us over in order to suppress the Uchiha clan.

The stronger the Uchiha clan becomes, the more the Hokage clan will need the support of us ninjas."

Nara Shikaku dropped one of his pieces and ate one of Yamanaka Inoichi's pieces, then continued, "Once the Uchiha clan is gone, the fate of the Hyuga clan will most likely befall us.

So sometimes we also need to support the Uchiha clan."

"Really? Is that what Uchiha Yuan meant?"

Akimichi Choza said in surprise.

Yamanaka Haiyi picked up a chess piece and prepared to place it, and asked, "Shikaku, do you think we need to show our support for the Uchiha?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamanaka Inichi placed his chess piece; while Nara Shikaku stared at the chessboard with a frown in his eyes, remaining silent.

After a while, he picked up a chess piece and said, "What Uchiha Yuan said is very true. If the Third Generation can sacrifice Hyuga today, he may sacrifice us tomorrow.

We need to express our dissatisfaction with his affairs regarding Hyuga to the three generations."

blah blah blah!

A piece fell heavily.

Chapter 348 Uchiha and Hyuga's Meeting

The night was as dark as ink, without a single star to be seen.

A patrolling team of five people from the branch family passed by the main gate of the Hyuga clan.

After the kidnapping incident last night, the Hyuga clan decided to strengthen patrols around their territory before the Cloud Ninja delegation left Konoha.

No one can guarantee whether the Cloud Ninja will kidnap again.

A night breeze suddenly blew up, blowing up several leaves on the road; this slight movement was particularly obvious in the night and attracted the attention of the patrol team.
