The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

He also knew that Danzo had recently been unscrupulously leading his Root to liquidate those who had been close to Orochimaru in the past.

But now it seemed that the reckoning was about to fall upon Cang Si, which was something Hinata Chima could never have imagined at first.

It was like they were originally just spectators, responsible for watching the fun, but unexpectedly, they were actually eating their own melons!

This feeling must be very subtle.

"Snapped"

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I'll go see Elder Danzo and see what he wants to see me about." Cang Si patted Hinata Chima's shoulder and said with a relaxed look.

Seeing Cang Si's clear conscience, Hinata Chima slowly put her mind at ease.

"By the way, when I go to see Elder Danzo, you go and tell the clan leader that Elder Danzo is coming to visit the Hyuga clan." After a pause, Cang Si continued.

"Yes, I understand. I'll go find the clan leader right away!" After saying that, Hinata Chima left quickly, and his destination was exactly the mansion of the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke.

"That old guy Danzo actually dared to come and cause trouble for me. Interesting. I don't know whether it was the Third Hokage who gave him the order or he acted on his own initiative?" After shaking his head, Cang Si walked out of the basement with a calm face.

To be honest, Souji really didn't expect Danzo to come to him.

After all, he is now the second most powerful person in the Hyuga clan, and Danzo actually wants to touch him? Cang Si really doesn't understand Danzo's actions.

If he was a member of a branch family, it would be understandable that he was implicated in Orochimaru's defection and was visited by Danzo for inspection.

The problem is, he is the elder Sanshang of the main family, and also the elder of punishment!

How dare he, Danzo?

If you touch him, aren't you afraid of the Hyuga clan's revenge? Is it that the Hyuga clan can no longer lift a sword? Or is Danzo too arrogant? He has actually become so arrogant!

Cang Si, who couldn't figure it out, prepared to meet Danzo with a playful mood.

When Souji came out, he saw Hinata Kiyoka, who was leading the servants of the house and stopping Danzo and his Root at the door.

Yes, even the door was not allowed to let Danzo and his Root in, and the situation between the two sides was still tense.

However, since they were facing a prominent family like the Hyuga, and the home of a member of the main family, Danzo and the Root still exercised some restraint.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to stop the Root from enforcing the law? Or, are you, the Hyuga clan, indeed in collusion with Orochimaru, and therefore don't want us to go in!" Although only one eye was exposed, Danzo's stern shout still frightened many servants in Souji's household.

Danzo was very angry at the moment. He didn't expect that as an elder of Konoha, he would be stopped outside the gate of the Hyuga family today.

This made him feel extremely

anger!

Since when has his enforcement of the law become so ignored by everyone?

Originally he planned to let the Root Ninjas attack directly, but after a stalemate, many other members of the Hyuga clan had gathered around.

This also made Danzo and his subordinates afraid to act rashly for a while.

It can even be said that it feels like we are in a difficult situation.

"Elder Danzo, you don't need to scare us. If you have a letter of order from the Hokage, we will naturally let you go. But now, let's just forget it based on your one-sided statement." Hinata Kiyokana is, after all, a senior ninja in the village, and she won't be easily intimidated by Danzo.

Although she was only a member of a branch family, her status as a Jonin was enough for her to get in touch with many secrets of the village.

If someone like Danzo were allowed in, there was a high probability that the Root members would rush over and capture them all, and then cause trouble for the head of the family.

However, as long as they were stopped outside, with so many Hyuga clan members watching nearby, he would not dare to act recklessly.

Therefore, Hinata Kiyoka would not give in at all. Her husband had already gone to find the head of the family, and her responsibility was to stop Danzo and his Root!

"you......"

"Hey, what's so windy that it blew Elder Danzo here today? I'm busy with something here, so I'm really sorry for not entertaining you well."

Just as Danzo was about to continue scolding Hinata Kiyoka and the others, Souji's voice suddenly came from not far behind Hinata Kiyoka, interrupting Danzo's words.

"Head of the family!" Hinata Kiyoka called out to Cang Si respectfully.

Souji didn't answer, but just smiled and nodded, then walked past Hinata Kiyoka, walked to the door, and confronted Danzo.

The real culprit, Souji, finally showed up, and Danzo stopped chasing Hinata Kiyoka and the servants in Souji's house.

After all, those are members of the branch family. For Danzo, even if he wants to use them, they are of no value at all.

That’s right, Danzo came here today just for Souji himself!

His roots have ninjas from various families, but among them, there are only two ninja clans that the roots cannot absorb no matter what.

One is the Uchiha clan, and the other is the Hyuga clan!

Danzo had a natural aversion to the Uchiha clan, and he himself already had the power of the Sharingan, so he was not surprised.

What's more, the Uchiha clan didn't seem to have a good impression of him.

So, the two sides disliked each other, so Danzo did not think of absorbing the Uchiha clan into his root.

But the Hyuga clan is different. The strategic value of the Byakugan is too high!

In many cases, the presence of a Hyuga clan member can change most situations that are unfavorable to them.

Therefore, this time, Danzo wanted to use the excuse of cleaning out the spies left in the village by Orochimaru to absorb a member of the Hyuga clan into the Root.

And he set this target on Souji, who has now returned to the public eye and is the second-in-command of the Hyuga clan!

It’s just that Cang Si doesn’t know what Danzo is thinking now, otherwise, he would definitely laugh his teeth off.

Cang Si didn't know where Danzo got his mysterious confidence from, and he actually had such a naive idea.

Is Cang Si crazy? That's why he chooses to join the Root?

It's true that after eating all day, I have nothing to do and just daydream about things. This is what Danzo is all about!

Chapter 301 Conflict!

"Hyuga Soji, if you have anything to say, you can go in and tell him. After all, this matter involves your reputation, so it's better not to let too many other people in the Hyuga clan know about it." Danzo said to Soji in a half-threatening tone.

What about my reputation?

Cang Si was almost laughing at what Danzo said. Danzo, when you do things, do you still consider other people's reputation?

If you don’t know, you might think you are the Third Hokage, in charge of the Anbu, not the Root!

Rolling his eyes secretly in his heart, Cang Si said confidently: "Master Danzo, you can rest assured. As the punishment elder of the Hyuga clan, if I really do something that humiliates the reputation of the Hyuga clan, I should set an example instead of running away!"

The subtext of Cang Si's words is, I have nothing to fear if I am upright. If you have anything to say, just say it in front of everyone. I am not afraid of anything.

As for coming into my house to talk, forget it. My small temple really can't accommodate a big Buddha like you.

Of course, Danzo, who was old and experienced, heard the hidden meaning in Souji's words, but precisely because he understood it, he became even more angry.

Even the patriarch of the Hyuga clan did not dare to neglect him like this. Today, he actually hit a wall in front of a junior of the Hyuga clan. How could he tolerate this?

Therefore, he decided to teach Cang Si a lesson and let him know that in Konoha, a small elder of the Hyuga clan was not qualified to fight with him, a high-level elder of Konoha!

In the original novel, the Konoha high-ranking officials wanted to force to death Hyuga Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan. Now, it is understandable that Danzo wants to force Souji to join the Root.

"Hmph, since you, Hyuga Soji, are so stubborn, don't blame me for showing no mercy to the Hyuga clan. At the end of last year, my subordinates discovered that you, Soji, had a drink in an izakaya with Orochimaru?" Danzo opened his hawk-like eyes, stared at Soji fiercely and asked.

Cang Si was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Danzo would want to use what happened a year ago to accuse him of a crime that he didn't even know existed. ..

Well, actually it’s not really groundless. Souji’s secret relationship with Orochimaru is actually quite good.

Moreover, Souji was the primary assistant in Orochimaru's defection, and is exactly the person that the Konoha high-level officials are looking for now.

However, as long as Cang Si refuses to admit it, who can do anything to him?

The only time he communicated openly with Orochimaru was that one time. After that, no one knew if he and Orochimaru had any other connection in secret.

However, Orochimaru was the first candidate for the position of the Fourth Hokage at the time. Not to mention Soji, more than half of the people in Konoha had direct or indirect connections with Orochimaru.

There are enough people who want to flatter Orochimaru to go around the entire Konoha.

And he just invited Orochimaru to a pub for a drink, in public. How could this ruin the reputation of the Hyuga clan?

If even this were to be implicated, the entire Konoha prison would not be able to accommodate them all.

Furthermore, if Danzo wants to take advantage of this, not only will he be held accountable, but even the Third Hokage and other Konoha high-ranking officials will not be able to escape!

Therefore, Cang Si was certain in his heart that Danzo had not caught any evidence of his connection with Orochimaru, but was simply taking advantage of the situation.

As for the purpose, Cang Si doesn’t know yet, and he has to wait and test it out before he can be sure.

Therefore, Danzo's search for Souji this time was purely a matter of luck. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

It's like, Cang Si really committed a crime, but the evidence has nothing to do with the crime he committed.

This made Cang Si feel very innocent.

"It happened a year ago. It's been a while, and I really don't remember it." Cang Si pretended to rub his temple and tried hard to recall.

Looking at Souji's pretentious appearance, Danzo couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands holding the crutches.

This happened just last year, he just couldn't believe that Cang Si could have forgotten it?

This can only prove that Cang Si does not want to

Answer his question.

Yes, Cang Si just didn't want to answer this question.

Some people may not know, and think that even if this question is answered, it has nothing to do with Orochimaru's defection not long ago.

That would be a big mistake!

In the art of language, whenever you have done such a thing and the other party uses it to attack you.

Regardless of whether the reason for the criticism is related to this incident, you cannot admit it. Of course, you should not deny it either. After all, it is easy to be pointed out. The best answer is that I don’t know, I forgot.

Because not knowing or forgetting is not a crime, but if you admit it, no matter whether the reason for the attack is valid or not, you will get into a lot of trouble.

Although Souji was just a otaku in his previous life, he was studying law. Danzo was undoubtedly thinking too much if he wanted to cheat him with this!

This is also the reason why Danzo started to feel anxious after hearing what Souji said.

"Hinata Soji, it seems that I have always underestimated you. As Minato's teammate, you are indeed not easy to deal with, but..." Danzo couldn't help but secretly admire Soji in his heart.

Danzo hadn't expected Souji to be so cunning.

Because most normal people, at Cang Si's age, would definitely not be able to withstand the language trap that I set for him. This is an improvement brought about by life experience and has nothing to do with personal strength.

However, just in case, he was well prepared and would never let Cang Si escape from his grasp so easily.

However, this made Danzo want to pull Souji into his roots even more.

Why is Danzo so obsessed with Sousa?

Firstly, the Root formed by Danzo must serve him wholeheartedly, so every member who enters the Root must not only be brainwashed by him, but also be engraved with the technique to eradicate the evil of tongue.

This directly blocked the members of the Hyuga clan's branch.

The Caged Bird Seal is superior to all the sealing techniques mastered by Danzo, if the branch family members join his root.

Then I don’t know whether it is serving him or the Hyuga family.

Therefore, if Danzo wanted to pull members of the Hyuga clan into the Root, he could only choose the main family that had not been cursed with the Caged Bird Seal.

However, the main branch of the Hyuga clan is small in number and rarely goes out, so he can hardly find any evidence against them.

This time, he went to Cang Si and made up a rather far-fetched excuse.

In addition, Danzo also wanted to use Soji to influence Namikaze Minato, who would become the Fourth Hokage in the near future.

Danzo's relationship with Minato is not very good now, and it's only because he has the protection of the Third Hokage, otherwise Minato would have investigated Danzo long ago.

If he had not improved his relationship with Minato by the time Minato succeeded to the throne as the Fourth Hokage, Danzo would probably have had his Root abolished by Minato.

By that time, the Third Hokage, who will have retired, may not be able to protect him.

Based on the above reasons, this time, Danzo wants to try to pull Souji into the Root by clearing out the spies left by Orochimaru in the village!

As long as Hyuga Soji enters the Root, Danzo will be able to not only maintain his current power and position, but may also be able to further influence Namikaze Minato.

This is what Danzo had in mind!

"Mr. Cangsi, it's okay if you can't remember. I have already found another person involved besides you and Orochimaru, the owner of that izakaya." Danzo said to Cangsi with a sinister smile on his face.

In order to make his plan successful, Danzo can be said to have put a lot of effort into it. Even Sorasuke had to admire him for this.

As Danzo finished speaking, a thin man, probably in his forties, stood out from the crowd tremblingly.

As soon as Cang Si saw him, he recognized him. This man was the owner of the izakaya where he and Orochimaru went to drink a year ago.
