The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"You did a great job this time. I can make the decision and agree to let your child join the Anbu in the future." Danzo, leaning on a cane, walked up to a young ninja and said.

"Elder Danzo, I hope you remember what you said. You will not attack Captain Sakumo again after this incident!" the young ninja said with his fists clenched and his teeth gritted.

You can see veins exposed on the back of the young ninja's clenched fists, his nails deeply embedded in the flesh, and drops of blood flowing to the ground.

If it was just a temptation, he would never agree to let Danzo do such a thing.

However, Danzo also threatened him that if he did not do as he said, his future children would never be able to become ninjas!

At the same time, Danzo also assured him that as long as Hatake Sakumo announced that he would give up inheriting the next generation of Hokage, he would immediately help Hatake Sakumo restore his reputation.

Under this set of threats, inducements, carrots and sticks, he, who is just a civilian Chunin, can only choose to compromise!

"Of course, anything else happening would not be good for us in Konoha, right?" Danzo said, then turned and left.

The only one left was the Chunin who was rescued by Hatake Sakumo, and he left the underground base under the arrangement of other Root ninjas.

The Third Hokage saw all of Danzo's actions, but he did not stop him.

Rather, it was because of the Third Hokage's indulgence that Danzo dared to do such a thing.

No matter it is the Third Hokage or Danzo, their favorite successor to the Fourth Hokage is Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas!

On the one hand, Orochimaru is the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage, and on the other hand, Orochimaru also has a special cooperative relationship with Danzo.

"It seems I have to speed up, I hope I can make it in time." After walking out of the gate of Konoha Village, Cang Si looked back and murmured.

If there were only two straws left in Hatake Sakumo's heart that he could bear, one of them has now been put on.

As for who the other straw is, Souji thinks it should be Hatake Sakumo's son, Hatake Kakashi!

Hatake Sakumo could bear the fact that what he did was not understood by the whole village or even his companions.

However, if even his own son thought that he was wrong at this time, the taut string in his heart would break in an instant.

Thinking of this, Cang Si became even more anxious, and he could be said to be running all the way to the Daimyo Castle of the Fire Country.

The journey that would have taken a whole day was completed in just over half a day, assuming that Cang Si did not take into account the loss of chakra.

“It would be nice if I could fly.”

Cang Si now envies those ninjas who have mastered the ability to fly.

Walking into the Fire Country Daimyo Castle, this can be said to be a place that Cang Si rarely visits.

This is also the city where the country's nominal ruler lives!

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire lives in a mansion in the center of the distance that Cang Si can see when he looks up.

Along the way, you can see that the Daimyo Castle of the Land of Fire is quite prosperous, in no way inferior to Konoha Village.

The population of Daimyo Castle is even higher than that of Konoha Village.

After all, Konoha is the main source of military power for the Land of Fire, and Daimyo Castle

It is the economic and political center of the Fire Nation!

Souji was walking on the streets of Daimyo Castle, and there were people dressed as samurai, swordsmen, ninjas, etc. on the road.

It can be said that people from all walks of life can be seen here.

However, Cang Si didn't care about all this at all. He just wanted to get to the daimyo's mansion as soon as possible and meet him.

When they arrived at the door of the daimyo's residence, Cang Si asked the samurai guarding the gate to inform the daimyo, and then he waited anxiously there.

However, perhaps because Cang Si's status was relatively noble, the warrior who went in to inform him that he could enter took less than five minutes.

"Oh, oh, Hyuga Souji from the Konoha main family, I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, and today I finally see your arrival." As soon as he saw Souji, the daimyo of the Fire Country said with a happy smile.

The Daimyo's words were not empty talk. In fact, as early as when Souji's team completed the four-year mission assigned by the Third Hokage, the Daimyo wanted to meet these young people.

Except for Cang Si, I have met the names of the other three people. However, Cang Si did not have the chance to come with his friends because of his grandfather's death.

Later, after developing ice escape, he went to the battlefield again.

After the Second Shinobi World War ended, Souji was busy with research.

Therefore, the meeting between Cang Si and Daimyo has been delayed until now.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Daimyo. Due to my personal reasons, I haven't had the chance to meet you. I feel deeply sorry." Coming close to the Daimyo, Cang Si bowed and said.

"No, no, it's great that Cang Si-kun can come. I can't welcome you enough." Daimyo said in a friendly manner while fanning himself.

The daimyo was very satisfied with Cangsi's polite attitude.

I thought to myself that he was worthy of being a noble from the Hyuga family.

The daimyo also knew about the affairs of the Hyuga clan's main and branch families.

I know that the main family of the Hyuga clan has always maintained aristocratic traditions, which is very similar to the nobles of the Fire Nation.

Therefore, the daimyo is particularly kind to Cang Si.

No matter how you look at it, Cang Si is a typical aristocrat in the eyes of the daimyo!

"Sir Daimyo, I came to see you this time because I want to ask you for a favor." After chatting about family matters for a while, Cang Si took a deep breath and said to Daimyo.

This is where Cang Si's art of conversation comes into play; this is how nobles communicate with one another.

No noble likes to talk about things directly.

Although Cang Si doesn't like it, he really needs it when facing different people.

Anyway, Cang Si and Daimyo were chatting all the time, and Daimyo was very happy.

"Mr. Cang Si, please tell me. I will do my best to help you as long as I can." The daimyo has a good impression of the young man in front of him, so he doesn't mind writing a blank check first.

If it is something that he can do relatively easily, the daimyo certainly doesn't mind doing a favor.

However, if things are difficult, I can only say sorry and say that my ability is limited.

What matters most is what happens!

"Mr. Daimyo, rather than saying you are helping me, it would be more accurate to say that I hope you can help Senior Hatake Sakumo." Cang Si said solemnly.

"Hmm? Cang Si-kun, the Hatake Sakumo you mentioned, are you referring to the Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo?" Hearing Cang Si mention the familiar name in his memory, Daimyo also lost his composure and even asked back in a panic.

Under the Daimyo's gaze, Cang Si nodded.

Chapter 88 Kakashi’s heart

"Sir Daimyo, strictly speaking, Senior Sakumo's affairs have something to do with you." Cang Si said solemnly.

Afterwards, with the daimyo looking puzzled, Souji told him all the recent rumors about Hatake Sakumo that had occurred in Konoha.

"How could such a thing happen! It's unbelievable." Daimyo opened his eyes wide and listened to Cang Si finish telling everything.

This kind of thing is rare in Konoha, let alone in the entire ninja world.

Then, the daimyo fell silent, and Cang Si did not disturb him.

Souji exaggerated everything, even saying that Hatake Sakumo might be thinking of resolving the matter by committing suicide in the near future.

This is also the reason why Daimyo is now frowning and thinking.

"I didn't expect that my unintentional action would put Sakumo in such a difficult situation." Daimyo said in a bad tone.

The Fire Country Daimyo and Hatake Sakumo knew each other in their early years, and the two could be said to be close friends.

After taking over the position of Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he also hoped that his friend would have the opportunity to become the Hokage of Konoha.

In this way, the two can work together to develop the entire Fire Nation better.

"So, Lord Daimyo, I, or rather, Senior Sakumo, needs your help." Cang Si made his request again.

"Okay, Mr. Cangsi, just tell me. I will help you no matter what. It's not because of your request, but because Sakumo is also my friend." The Daimyo of the Land of Fire put down the folding fan he had been holding in his hand and looked at Cangsi seriously.

"Mr. Daimyo, I need you to write a letter, a letter to Sakumo-senpai, and also a letter to give an explanation to Konoha."

Afterwards, Cang Si briefly stated the contents of the letter he wanted the daimyo to write.

"oh, I understand now."

Daimyoji was not vague either. After asking his servant to bring paper and pen, he wrote the letter in front of Cangsi, then stamped it with his seal and handed it to Cangsi.

"Well, Mr. Daimyo, I will take my leave now without further ado. I will have a chance to communicate with you in the future." After Cang Si put away the envelope, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Then, everything will be in the hands of Cangsi-kun. Please be sure to help Sakumo." The Daimyo did not force Cangsi to stay. After all, they were racing against time.

Although this is not in line with aristocratic etiquette, no one will care about these empty things at the critical moment.

After Cang Si nodded, he left the Daimyo's residence and then left Daimyo Castle.

Souji left Konoha during the day and arrived at Daimyo Castle near dusk.

Now as we were preparing to return to Konoha, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.

"Ah, what a hard life. It's probably already the second day since we returned to Konoha. I just hope that Sakumo-senpai can hold on for a few more days." Cang Si sighed as he looked at the moonlight.

It is still very dangerous in the wilderness at night, but that is only relative to ordinary people and mid-level and low-level ninjas.

A Kage-level powerhouse like Cang Si can basically be chosen to be ignored.

Just like that, Cang Si took advantage of the night and rushed back to Konoha.

On the other hand, there are also undercurrents in the Konoha Village.

The rumors have been going on for some time, and have turned from being fair to being condemned.

The person involved, Hatake Sakumo, has not come forward to make any response.

"Kakashi, why are you so dull lately?" On the streets of Konoha, Uchiha Obito complained to his friends with his hands behind his head.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Kakashi responded listlessly.

"Kakashi, youth is about blooming with vitality. Let's run around Konoha 10 laps facing the sunset!" Might Guy also spoke passionately.

As soon as these words came out, the other friends around him immediately chose to stay away from Might Guy. They really didn't want to be infected by his stupidity.

Even a usually careless person like Uchiha Obito couldn't stand Might Guy's passion.

With the joining of Uchiha Obito and Might Guy, other friends also stood up to persuade Kakashi.

But Kakashi just dealt with it casually.

He couldn't hear the voices of his friends at all now, but the whispered discussions of the villagers around him came clearly into Kakashi's ears.

This also made the young Kakashi even more upset.

"Tsk, it's just Lord Sakumo's business, there's nothing to worry about." Uchiha Obito said indifferently.

Obito's words deeply touched Kakashi's sensitive nerves.

"What do you know! Obito, you're just a loser! My father is different!" Kakashi angrily refuted his friend's words.

Kakashi's sudden outburst also shocked the other friends around him.

I didn't expect that Kakashi, who has always been gentle to everyone, would be stimulated by his father's affairs today and show a different side of himself.

"I'm the last one in the class and I don't know anything, but I'm much better than someone like you who's half dead!" Obito also got angry and responded in the same unyielding manner!

"Kakashi, Obito, stop arguing!" Nohara Rin, who was frightened by the two people's emotions, tried to stop her two friends in panic.

"Rin, this is none of your business, please get out of the way first." Obito kept his eyes on Kakashi and said to Nohara Rin in a rare serious tone.

"What's the matter, Obito, you want to fight? I won't hold back this time!" Kakashi also stared at this good friend who looked a little different from usual.

Seeing that the two people were about to pull each other's hands face to face, other friends nearby rushed over and pulled them apart one by one.

"Kakashi, what's wrong with you today? You're so different from usual." Asuma Sarutobi, who was a little rebellious at a young age, also stood up and asked his friend.

Not only Asuma Sarutobi, the other dozen or so friends present looked at Kakashi with puzzled eyes, as he was very different from the past.

It can be said that the dozen or so people have known each other since childhood. Although their relationship has not yet reached the point where they can talk about anything, they are all the kind of people who are worthy of deep friendship and trust.

"Yes, I'm sorry, everyone. I may not be in a good mental state recently. I'm sorry, I have something to do today, so I'll go home first." Kakashi also realized his own difference.

So after apologizing to his friends present, he turned around and ran home.

"Kakashi, wait..."

"Lin, don't stop him!"

Nohara Rin originally wanted to persuade Kakashi, but was stopped by Obito before she could finish her words.

"But Kakashi's appearance is really worrying." Nohara Rin clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking at Kakashi who was walking away with an uneasy look in her eyes.
