The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Just when the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Danzo.

Immediately afterwards, the people of the Hyuga clan who had been surrounding Danzo also made way for the person who made the sound to come in.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't just one person who walked in, but three people!

They are the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hyuga clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke, and Hyuga Chima who was ordered by Cangji to call the clan leader over.

And the person who spoke just now was the Third Hokage!

Cang Si had not expected these three people to come together.

He only ordered Hinata Chima to find the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke, but he didn't expect that the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke would call the Third Hokage over.

But it’s better this way. With the Third Hokage here, Danzo won’t be able to be so arrogant.

No matter how high Danzo's status is, can it be higher than Hokage?

"Huruzen? Why are you here? Didn't we agree that I would be responsible for cleaning up the spies left in Konoha by Orochimaru?" After seeing the figure of the Third Hokage, Danzo's face turned very ugly.

Because this means that his plan is likely to fail.

"Hmph, Danzo, although I have put this matter in your charge, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want! Remember I warned you that everything must be based on evidence. Look at what you are doing now!" Danzo was in a bad mood, and the Third Hokage was in an even worse mood than him!

Chapter 303: Stealing chicken but losing rice

The Third Hokage never expected that when he wasn't paying attention, Danzo would actually reach out to the main family of the Hyuga clan. This guy is really bold!

If Hinata Souji was just a member of the branch family, then he could turn a blind eye, but the situation for the main family is completely different!

As for the conflicts within the village, even the Third Hokage would not take action against the main family of the Hyuga clan. Danzo is just an elder, how dare he do that?

If this forces the Hyuga clan to split up, when war comes again, they will just do nothing, and Konoha will definitely suffer much more losses. ..

Therefore, when Hyuga Ryusuke came to complain to the Third Hokage, saying that Danzo led the Root members into the Hyuga clan's territory and wanted to attack the main family members.

The Third Hokage rushed over without saying a word, without even putting down the documents in his hand.

When the Third Hokage came here, he discovered that Danzo and his Root were about to fight with the Hyuga clan.

Immediately, the Third Hokage felt that his blood pressure was showing signs of rising.

Therefore, he immediately shouted out Danzo's name with a dark face. He was afraid that if it was any later, Danzo would really cause something out of control.

"Hokage-sama, clan leader." Souji is not Danzo, so he would not directly call the Third Hokage's name. Instead, he called him respectfully and also mentioned Hyuga Ryusuke.

"Well, Mr. Souji, I'm really sorry about this. I apologize to you for Elder Danzo's rash behavior. What happened to Orochimaru has nothing to do with you." Looking at the victim of this incident, the Third Hokage immediately put on a kind smile and said.

Danzo can be a non-human, but as the Third Hokage, how could he do the same thing as Danzo? At the very least, he should have a correct attitude, even though he is the Hokage.

"Phew, that's good. Lord Hokage is really very perceptive. I thought it was really like what Lord Danzo said, that drinking with Orochimaru a year ago was considered treason." Cang Si said after looking at Danzo with an exaggerated expression.

Yes, Souji is now trying to put some eye drops on Danzo.

After all, even a clay man can still be angry. This time, he was forced so hard by Danzo that he still remembered to hide himself. Otherwise, Danzo's head would have been broken by him!

Anyway, Cang Si has made up his mind that if Danzo leaves Konoha again in the future, he will definitely avenge today.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Cang Si will remember this vengeance!

However, although Cang Si has decided to take revenge in the future, he is still angry at the moment, so he said such words to put pressure on Danzo.

Sure enough, after hearing what Soji said, the Third Hokage turned to look at Danzo's expression, which became even worse.

What happened a year ago, are you talking about now?

Why didn't Danzo invite himself, Orochimaru's teacher, to the Root for tea?

Is Danzo preparing to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?

Danzo knew that he was in the wrong and didn't dare to refute what Soji had said, because this was just a reason he made up to drag Soji into the Root.

"Danzo! In order to punish you for wrongly accusing a good person this time, your Root will be disbanded to the size of a team. In addition, you will not be responsible for the investigation of Orochimaru's spies. The Anbu will take over completely." The Third Hokage frowned and said seriously.

The size of a Root Division team is not small.

Like the Anbu, the Root is also divided into groups of four people, or called a team, and then four teams form a sub-team.

In other words, after the Third Hokage gave this order, the Root under Danzo would now be forced to disband 17 people.

For the Root, which only had four teams, this could be said to have directly cut off a quarter of Danzo's strength.

This was enough to make Danzo feel heartbroken.

Of course, considering Danzo's character, he would probably just disband a team openly and then move into secret.

After all, according to the training standards of the root, as long as the group

As long as Zang is still here, those Root members will never be able to escape from his control.

Although Cang Si knew all this in his heart, since the Third Hokage had already made his position clear, it would be difficult for Cang Si to continue to hold on to Danzo.

No matter what, Danzo was the childhood friend of the Third Hokage. Now that the Third Hokage can give Danzo such a severe punishment in front of so many Hyuga clan members, it is already giving face to the Hyuga clan.

If he continued to be ungrateful, he would simply earn the Third Hokage's disgust.

"Huruzen, you..."

"Okay, Danzo, don't say anything more. This matter is settled."

The Third Hokage interrupted Danzo's words with a tone that brooked no room for rebuttal.

This time, the Third Hokage was really angry. Danzo had to clean up the mess he caused time and time again.

After this happened so many times, the Third Hokage felt that it was time to teach Danzo a lesson.

He couldn't let the other party always rely on his protection to do such lawless things, things that even he, the Hokage, wouldn't dare to do.

If this happened two more times, the Third Hokage felt that he might not live to retire and would be angered to death by Danzo.

He also wanted to be the first Hokage who could retire from the position of Hokage peacefully and enjoy his old age.

After the Third Hokage finished speaking, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke did not express his opinion, but just looked at Soji.

After all, the victim in this incident is still Cang Si. Although he is the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, he will not decide such matters for Cang Si.

"I'll follow all the arrangements made by the Hokage." Cang Si still understood the principle of knowing when to stop while you're ahead. There's no need to push for more.

Anyway, he didn't suffer any substantial losses, he was just bullied. By magnifying a small matter to this extent, strictly speaking, Cang Si has already made a profit.

The Third Hokage was very satisfied with Souji's attitude. He knew how to be humble and when to advance and retreat.

On the other hand, it’s really hard to describe Danzo.

The Third Hokage would sometimes seriously ask himself whether he had been too indulgent towards Danzo, causing him to become as lawless as he is now.

This is only because of the friendship they have maintained for many years, otherwise, what Danzo has done now would be enough to sentence him to life in prison!

"Danzo, take your Root and follow me." Things have been dealt with. The Third Hokage put his pipe in his mouth and instructed Danzo beside him.

"But... Humph!" Danzo originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the unfriendly look from the Third Hokage, he could only snort and follow the Third Hokage.

However, before leaving, Danzo's hawk-like eyes swept across the Hyuga clan, causing several people who made eye contact with him to shiver.

Of course, this does not include Cang Si. On the contrary, when Danzo looked over, Cang Si gave him a provocative look.

It’s a good thing that the Third Hokage was still present, otherwise, Danzo would probably have been unable to resist and would have taken action himself to capture Souji.

Unfortunately, reality does not allow Danzo to make such a move again.

This operation failed, and Danzo was very angry and upset.

Because he knew that this was the best time to pull Cang Si into the root. If he missed this opportunity, it would be impossible for him to find such a good opportunity again in the future.

From now on, it is highly unlikely that his roots will be able to recruit members of the Hyuga clan's main family.

After all, this time, his sudden attack severely offended the perception of everyone in the Hyuga clan.

In fact, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if he is evil. Danzo doesn't think it's a big deal because he is already hated by many people in the village anyway.

Even if there was one more member of the Hyuga clan, it wouldn't actually make much of a difference to him.

But the problem is, not only has he offended the Hyuga clan, but he has also failed to achieve his goal. How can Danzo feel happy about this?

Not to mention, he not only failed to gain anything but also lost more than he gained in this matter. Even the size of his apparent roots was reduced by a quarter of its strength.

Think about Danzo or

I feel like I’m too indecisive.

If he had ignored the obstruction of the guards of the Soji family and charged in directly, he could have controlled Hinata Soji as quickly as possible.

Although he might attract a lot of criticism afterwards, at least his goal was achieved.

In the end, don't even mention that the Third Hokage only cut off a quarter of the visible roots. Even if half of it was cut off, he would still have made a profit!

However, what Danzo did not expect was that Cang Si's reaction was too fast. He went to inform the clan leader before he even left the house.

Then the head of the Hyuga clan went to inform the Third Hokage, which ultimately led to the failure of Danzo's plan.

This is what Danzo concluded was the main reason for the failure of his plan.

This is because Cang Si didn't know what Danzo was thinking at the moment. If he knew, he would definitely give him a sneer in response.

And just rush into his house and arrest him?

Who knows who will take down whom by then!

It would be fine if Danzo and the Root hadn't discovered his underground laboratory. Souji might have considered killing everyone directly because it would have a bad impact and would have chosen to capture them without harming their lives.

But if they discovered his underground laboratory, Cang Si would not be able to take care of too many other things.

At that time, we will definitely provide a one-stop service including killing, arson and burying bodies.

Therefore, Danzo should be glad that they did not rush into Souji's house, otherwise, the ending would definitely be something he would not be willing to accept.

After the Third Hokage took Danzo away, Hyuga Ryusuke looked at Souji with a worried look on his face, and then said: "Souji, this time our Hyuga clan had a conflict with Elder Danzo, you must remember to be careful when you go out next time."

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I will take care of my own safety." Cang Si smiled and agreed seriously.

Although Cang Si didn't care much about the threat from Danzo, after all, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke was doing this for his own good, so he certainly wouldn't keep someone at a distance.

Seeing that Cang Si had listened to his words, Hinata Ryusuke didn't say anything more and left.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Cang Si seemed to see something different in the look that the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke gave him.

It felt as if Hinata Ryusuke was not looking at himself, but looking through him at another person.

"Did the clan leader remember my grandfather?" Cang Si thought subconsciously in his heart.

After all, since Cang Si traveled through time, his only family is his grandfather Hinata Kumokawa, so it is no wonder that Cang Si thinks so.

Moreover, in Cangsi's impression, no matter what decision the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke made, his grandfather would always fully support it.

From this perspective, it is only natural that the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke would think of Souji's grandfather.

However, Cang Si always felt that there was more to it than that.

But since the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke didn't bring it up on his own initiative, Cang Si wouldn't bother asking more questions. After all, if he had that much time, it would be better to do research.

"Forget it, let the clan leader think whatever he wants. Anyway, the matter has passed. I hope Danzo can be more honest in the future and not be so blind. Otherwise..." Thinking of this, Cang Si couldn't help but sneered.

Then I’ll beat Danzo so hard that he can’t get out of bed, leaving him no time to cause trouble!

Just like that, Cang Si, in a relatively happy mood, walked back to the basement and continued his research work.

Chapter 304 A Historic Year

This time, the purge of Orochimaru's minions initiated by the Konoha high-level officials lasted for about twenty days and then ended.

Why is this so?

Because Minato Namikaze returned with a great victory over Kumogakure.

The time now is December 47st, the 12th year of Konoha, which means that in less than ten days, Minato will succeed to the throne as the Fourth Hokage.

Under such circumstances, the Konoha high-level officials certainly do not have the time to continue to dwell on the matter of Orochimaru.

The remaining time was the period of regime change, and the Third Hokage began to slowly hand over the power in his hands to Minato.

Minato had just returned from the battlefield and was taken away by the Third Hokage before he even had time to see his friends.

On the day he returned, Cang Si and Uchiha En went to the gate of Konoha to welcome Minato's return, and the two sides greeted each other.

Another thing to say is that Kakashi returned at almost the same time as Minato, but they took different routes.
