From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Of course, he scared the envoy from the Hidden Cloud Village by saying that Konoha was preparing for war.

Actually, it’s not fake.

The Uchiha incident is imminent. If things go wrong, it will really lead to civil unrest. The civil unrest in Konoha will most likely become an opportunity for other major countries to take advantage of.

So the outbreak of war is very likely.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the worst-case scenario into consideration and was indeed secretly preparing for war.

Those people from the Hidden Cloud Village lurking in Konoha will probably also learn of this news. In this case, maybe they can really blackmail the Hidden Cloud Village?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's bad mood finally improved a little. Then he looked at the Hokage Rock outside the window, sighed, picked up a document from the table, stood up, and walked out the door. As soon as he went out, he saw two guarding ninjas standing at the door and said in a deep voice: "Sandaime-sama." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and continued: "Let's go to the Hyuga family." He wanted to meet Diarmait, and it was time to meet Diarmait.

Right

Chapter 655 Who is not an actor?

At the Hyuga house, Diarmuid finished washing up and came out with a glass of milk in his hand.

As soon as he went out, he stretched, yawned, looked at the sun in the sky and said, "What a nice day." "Are you awake?" Hinata Hiashi walked over with a smile and said.

"Well, we were busy all night last night." Diarmuid nodded and said with a smile.

Hinata Hiashi is really careless. He really fell asleep last night when Diarmuid was doing his work.

He didn't feel worried at all, as if he wasn't the one whose house was being robbed.

When he woke up this morning, he saw Diarmait was still sleeping, so he felt relieved and came to check on him from time to time. Look, he just happened to see Diarmait getting up.

"Thank you very much. What would you like to eat?" asked Hinata Hiashi.

"No, just a glass of milk will do. I'm not hungry." Diarmait waved his hand.

While chatting, the two went to the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Where are Hinata and Neji?" Diarmuid asked casually.

"Going to school." Hinata Hiashi replied. After a brief pause, he said, "When I went out to see them off this morning, I found that the village had begun to tighten its defenses. Now, everyone entering and leaving Konoha must be registered and checked in detail. It seems that the actions of the Hidden Cloud Village last night really irritated the Sandaime-sama."

Diarmait was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself, the Hidden Cloud Village should not be a big deal. It was the death of Uchiha Shisui that hurt Sarutobi Hiruzen's nerves, right?

After all, a person who can kill Uchiha Shisui can be judged to have the strength to kill most of the high-level officials of Konoha.

However, it seems that Hyuga Hiashi has not received the news of Uchiha Shisui's death yet.

Diarmait smacked his lips and said, "Hruzen is really cautious, but I have killed everyone who entered your Hyuga family, so don't worry." "I have nothing to worry about, hahahaha." Hyuga Hiashi laughed.

The two chatted about some related things, and then Diarmait said, "I think you should make some preparations recently." "What preparations?" asked Hinata Hiashi.

"The Uchiha clan is definitely going to be destroyed soon. If I were you, I would start preparing to 'snatch' the Uchiha legacy as soon as possible. As one of the largest clans in Konoha, although the Uchiha clan is not well-liked, it still has a lot of assets, right?" Diarmuid said.

Hinata Hiashi smiled and said, "I think it's not necessary. Our Hyuga family is big enough. There's no need to kick the Uchiha when they're down. It's not good for our reputation. Besides, we should leave some way out so that we can meet again in the future. There's no need to offend the Uchiha to death..."

Diarmuid listened to this and gave Hiashi Hyuga a strange smile. "From what you said, what do you think Konoha will do to the Uchiha clan?" "Hmm?" Hiashi Hyuga frowned slightly and said, "If they are ruthless, they can kill some of the radicals and remove the Uchiha clan's power over Konoha's security department. For a few years, no Uchiha clan members will be allowed to become ninjas... If they are more lenient, they can exile some of the radicals and take back some of the power. That's about right, right?"

In fact, this is also the view of the vast majority of families in the village on the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha.

Except for a very few people... No, judging from the secret meeting of Konoha's top leaders last night, they haven't really decided how far they want to take the Uchiha clan.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo already had a tacit understanding on this matter.

"It may not be as easy as you think." Diarmait said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Hinata Hiashi asked with a slightly frown.

"You have to know that the one who told me this news was Danzo Shimura. Don't say you don't know much about this guy, right? He is full of resentment towards Uchiha. Do you think that Uchiha can survive with the plans he arranged?" Diarmait smiled and said evilly.

Hinata Hiashi was shocked and felt that what Diarmuid said made some sense. Why didn't he think of this?

Ah, that's not right. Before Diarmait came here, he didn't know that Danzo was one of the people behind the scenes...

But soon, Hinata Hiashi hesitated and said, "But Sandaime-sama..."

"It's true that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a good Hokage, but precisely because he is a good Hokage, he would not do anything stupid in such matters. Leaving the Uchiha behind? Haha, decades later, or even more than ten years later, another bad cycle will begin, and hatred will also germinate. The most important thing is, don't forget who authorized Danzo to do these things." Diarmait sneered.

Hinata Hiashi swallowed, feeling a little shocked. Yes.

In just a short moment, he didn't understand.

In the past few years, Danzo Shimura has been suppressed by the Third Hokage. Suddenly, when facing the affairs of the Uchiha clan, he stood up again.

To say there's no Sandaime-sama's guidance behind this...

That's impossible.

Thinking of this, and the series of operations behind this, Hinata Hiashi became more and more frightened. He looked up at Diarmait and asked, "Are you saying that the village wants to completely eliminate the Uchiha?"

Diarmait grinned and said, "As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a fool, he will not miss this opportunity. The elimination of the Uchiha clan will indeed greatly reduce Konoha's power in the short term, but what we need now is stability, not war. For a long time to come, without the Uchiha clan as an internal constraint, Konoha's development speed will be even faster. The pain is only temporary, and it will pass if we endure it. I believe Sarutobi Hiruzen will endure it."

To be honest, this made Hinata Hiashi feel a little disappointed.

Looking at Hinata Hiashi's expression, Diarmait smiled again and said soothingly, "What are you thinking about?"

Hiashi did not hide it from Diarmait and said directly: "I was thinking, today it's the Uchiha, tomorrow it will be us Hyuga..."

"Hahahaha, calm down, this is impossible." Diarmait laughed.

Hinata Hiashi was stunned for a moment, as if Diarmait's words were very powerful. His originally anxious mood also calmed down, and he felt much calmer. After thinking carefully, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Indeed, I was a little impatient. This is indeed impossible."

The village took action against Uchiha because the grudge had lasted for decades, and the Uchiha had always been outside the core of Konoha. Although they were called Konoha people, in fact, they had their own system and there was a possibility of splitting.

And the Hyuga is completely different from the Uchiha.

Even if any conflicts arise in the future, they can be resolved in a better way. After all, they have not had any grudges with the village for decades.

In addition, the Uchiha clan's reputation in Konoha is really not that good, while the Hyuga clan's is very good.

Dealing with Uchiha and dealing with Hyuga are two completely different things.

These are Hinata Hiashi's thoughts.

He felt that Diarmait thought the same.

But Diarmuid felt that this was only one aspect of the matter. Another aspect was, "Your son-in-law will most likely become Hokage in the future. You're worried about that? That's a problem."

Just as Diarmuid was chatting with Hyuga Hiashi, a member of the Hyuga family's branch family came over and said something to Hyuga Hiashi.

"Oh? Are we there yet?" Hinata Hiashi asked after a moment of surprise.

"Yes, the Sandaime-sama is already at the door." said the ninja from the branch family.

Hinata Hiashi stood up and said to Diarmait, "The Sandaime-sama is here. I think he's here to see you. I'll go greet him."

Diarmait also stood up with a smile and said: "Since you said that they should come to see me, there is no need for me to put on airs. Let's go together?" "Okay." Hinata Hiashi nodded.

Soon, at the main entrance of the Hyuga family, Hyuga Hiashi and Diarmait arrived together.

From a long distance away, the figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen could be seen. The guy was wearing a Hokage robe, a conical hat on his head, and a big pipe in his hand. He was looking at the direction where Diarmait and Hyuga Hiashi were coming with a smile.

"Sir Sandaime, what are you doing?" Hinata Hiashi came up and greeted him quickly.

"Haha, such a big thing happened last night, I have to come and see the victim." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, after a slight pause, he looked at Diarmait and said with a little emotion: "You are still so young..."

"The main thing is that if there's nothing to do, then you'll be in a good mood. If you're in a good mood, then you'll be in good health. If you're in good health, then you'll look younger, hahahaha." Diarmait said with a big laugh.

After laughing, he glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, then smacked his lips and said, "Those of you, Sandaime...are not in a good state. Didn't you sleep all night? You even have dark circles under your eyes. Why are you so worried? Do you think I can't handle a few petty thieves?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mental state at the moment was indeed not very good. After all, he was an elderly man, and he had been up all night, and he hadn't even had a good rest before. …

He felt a little more at ease after listening to Diarmait's words. It seemed that what happened to Shisui last night really wasn't his fault. 887 However, he still casually asked, "What's wrong? You seemed to be sleeping well?"

"Hahaha, is it so obvious?" Diarmait reached out and touched his face, and then Hiashi on the side said just right: "He is really careless. What happened last night didn't affect him at all. He just got up." Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved a little. It seems that it really wasn't this guy?

Hmm. ...Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't particularly suspicious of Diarmait. Just as Sarutobi Shinnosuke had analyzed, Diarmait was indeed a strong suspect based on his strength, as he was fully capable of doing something like that.

But analyzing from other angles such as motivation...this guy seems innocent?

There's nothing to doubt.

He had no grudge against Uchiha Shisui, and they didn't even know each other. ...Nothing happened to the other god either...

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped hesitating and said, "Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Hinata Hiashi smiled, asked someone to prepare tea, then followed Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the three of them walked towards the house together.

"Sandaime-sama, when I was taking my children to school this morning, I saw that the village had already begun to be on alert. Is it because of what happened last night? What did the envoy from the Hidden Cloud Village say?" Hinata Hiashi asked as they walked. Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, looked at Diarmait beside him, and finally said, "Last night at midnight, the village had already begun to reduce its defenses, but it was not because of the Hidden Cloud Village." "Then is it because of the Uchiha?" Diarmait asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked. Uchiha... Uchiha Shisui?

But seeing that Diarmait was asking casually, he was stunned for a moment. Ah, no, was he mistaken?

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked straight ahead with a little embarrassment, and then said: "It is also related to Uchiha. Maybe you don't know yet, Shisui was murdered last night." "Shisui?" Diarmuid smacked his lips, looking confused.

Who isn’t an actor anymore?

Hinata Hiashi was also confused for a moment, then asked with a surprised expression: "Shisui? Uchiha Shisui?" "Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with a heavy look in his eyes.

e

Chapter 656: Rizu: Thank you so much.

The three of them came into the house and sat down.

The servants of the Hyuga family had already placed the tea and left very tactfully.

"Uchiha Shisui, is he the same Shisui who was so powerful during the previous war that he was as feared by the ninja world as Minato?" Diarmuid had a strong psychological quality. As a murderer, he did not show any abnormal behavior at all. Instead, he asked as if he did not understand much.

Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer doubted Diarmait, so he nodded and said, "It's him, no doubt."

"Sir Sandaime, what is going on?" asked Hinata Hiashi in a deep voice.

He was really curious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, then said: "The thing is, last night we..."

Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen recounted all these events.

Then, Hinata Hiashi looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe it.

As for Diarmait, he raised his eyebrows with great interest, as if he was interested in some information.

"Shisui's ability to instantly transform into a being is so powerful that it shocks the ninja world. Could it be that you Konoha made this up?" Diarmuid said sarcastically.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew what kind of person Diarmait was, so he didn't care and said directly: "Can the reputation on the battlefield be just boasting?"

"That's too weird. Even though this Shisui is very young, he is a veteran of the battlefield after all. I heard that he is very powerful. But such a person was killed in your Konoha base camp in about ten minutes. He didn't even have a chance to set off a flare?" Diarmait raised his eyebrows.

After a brief pause, before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Diarmait was stunned again, and then said: "It's not impossible. I think I can do it..."
