After many years of management, the police force is almost a symbol of the Uchiha, even the emblem is the family's fan.
Being interfered with by another ninja clan, and also another eye technique family in Konoha that is as famous as the Uchiha, you can imagine what kind of consequences will break out.
But Uchiha Fugaku really can't refuse now.
The mastermind behind the Nine Tails incident has the Mangekyo Sharingan. After being officially confirmed by Orochimaru, the village has already been very generous by not blaming the Uchiha Clan.
Before the masked man dies, continuing to fight against the village is truly taking an inch and wanting a foot, not knowing what's good for them.
His gaze lingered on Fugaku's face for a moment. The Third Hokage knew that he was not just pretending to agree, and nodded slightly, feeling very comfortable in his heart.
If it were before, the Uchiha Clan would explode with just a slight hint. How could they be like they are now, able to strike and counter at the same time, intervening in the Uchiha's police force.
The Main family elder, who had been waiting for a long time and gained a great advantage for nothing, looked overjoyed and immediately promised,
"The Hyuga clan will definitely respond quickly to the village's call."
The Uchiha police force swaggered through the streets, promoting the family's power. He had wanted to replace them for a long time.
Although the Uchiha are stronger now, the Main family elder is not a fool. He knows that the Third Hokage is pushing the Hyuga clan out to compete with them and will never sit idly by and watch them be completely suppressed by the other side. This is a great opportunity delivered to their door.
But even so, being so impatient ultimately makes it seem like they are grabbing for too much.
Fugaku looked at the Main family elder, who had a serious face but couldn't hide the smugness between his eyebrows, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
To be honest, he really couldn't do anything to the other side. At most, he could make things difficult for the Hyuga Branch family, but he knew very well that the Main family didn't care much about the Branch family, and such actions were just scratching an itch.
At this time, Orochimaru looked at the Hyuga Main family elder and suddenly smiled,
"I almost forgot what we came to solve tonight, Hehehe... Clan leader Hiashi, you killed the head of the delegation, wanting to let Hyuga Hizashi pay with his life."
Hearing this, Fugaku's eyes returned to calm, and his gaze towards Hiashi and the Main family elder was tinged with ridicule.
Yes, what was he afraid of? A family that is so rigid and only knows how to rely on its bloodline legacy, is it worthy of the Uchiha Clan's fear?
Thinking about it, the clan members would think the same if this was said out loud.
Hearing the irony and sarcasm in Orochimaru's words, Hiashi's face changed, but feeling the increasingly low emotions of his twin brother beside him, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The Main family elder emphasized at this time, "Orochimaru-sama, you also said that this was a trap set by the masked man."
"But you jumped into it eagerly."
Orochimaru licked his lips and suddenly smiled, "I heard about the scene at that time from an unknown person."
"The head of the delegation pretended to kill that girl named Hinata. Clan leader Hiashi went to stop him, but the other party stopped. You couldn't stop... Ordinary people would be fine, but a ninja proficient in taijutsu and with the Byakugan bloodline... Tsk tsk..."
Among the people present, except for the Third Hokage and the Hyuga side, it was the first time they had heard of this version. The way they looked at Hyuga Hiashi suddenly became strange, especially Clan leader Fugaku, who sneered in his heart.
As fellow eye technique ninjas, he knew how shameful this matter was.
Hyuga Hiashi's face turned red, barely maintaining a serious face. The Main family elder defended Hiashi,
"These rumors are not entirely true, and even if Hiashi stopped, wouldn't this 'Guroya' have means of killing himself?"
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, "That makes a lot of sense. But now Kumogakure wants Clan leader Hiashi to pay with his life. What should we do? Don't say anything about letting Hizashi take his place. This option was rejected from the very beginning."
The Main family elder was speechless for a moment. Hiashi sighed and said, "Alas... Orochimaru-sama, there's no need to say more. Although this matter is an enemy's plot, I am deeply involved. For the sake of the village, I am willing to commit suicide."
"Clan leader..."
Hizashi looked at Hiashi, not knowing what to say. The Main family elder remained silent.
Seeing Hiashi paying with his life seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Danzo couldn't sit still and said coldly,
"I absolutely disagree with this. Konoha must not behave so cowardly."
The Third Hokage also nodded slightly, expressing his support for Danzo. Tsunade and Jiraiya didn't rush to speak, seeing that Orochimaru hadn't made a statement.
Utatane Koharu wanted to express her support, but after taking a look at Orochimaru, she swallowed the words in her throat and planned to say them later.
The Jonin representative Nara Shikaku remained silent as always, looking calm and collected. He knew very well that he was just a witness at the village meeting.
"Danzo-sama is right. Clan leader Hiashi looking like he's being forced to death will only make Konoha look too useless."
Orochimaru glanced at Danzo and then turned his gaze to Hiashi, smiling,
"The reason why the Kumogakure delegation has been holding on is simply because their people died, resulting in real losses. As long as Konoha has the same losses, they will have to explain why Guroya appeared in the Hyuga clan's territory after the agreement was signed."
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi was suspicious. Orochimaru didn't want him to commit suicide, but also talked about real losses. What did he mean?
The Third Hokage's eyes flickered slightly. Danzo understood him and seemed to have thought of something.
The Main family elder said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru, if you have a solution, please stop beating around the bush."
Orochimaru smiled strangely, "It's simple. Hinata's Byakugan was taken by Kumogakure. If the Hyuga clan has a possibility of leaking the bloodline, then the loss will not be smaller than the death of a peace envoy."
The head of the delegation attempting to steal the Byakugan and failing to kill him would seem too much, but if he succeeded and was then killed, then things would be much more reasonable.
Utatane Koharu understood. With Orochimaru's change, Konoha would only give the impression of being careless, rather than weak and easily bullied, which was completely acceptable.
Hiashi's expression changed drastically. His face turned as dark as water. He pointed at Orochimaru and said, "Are you asking me to sacrifice my daughter's eyes?"
The Main family elder hurriedly pulled Hiashi's hand down, "It's just acting. Orochimaru must be talking about acting, and then we'll exchange the eyes back later."
Hiashi's expression eased slightly, but he heard Orochimaru say, "Although it's fake, if you really act it out, your daughter will only be able to exchange for a pair of eyes. Otherwise, wouldn't Konoha be ridiculed for going back on its word?"
"This... I absolutely disagree!" Hiashi said firmly.
Orochimaru smiled strangely, "Whether you agree or not is not up to you."
Inside the conference room, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the two advisors, and Nara Shikaku, who was there to make up the numbers, were all silent, clearly approving of Orochimaru's method.
This was not a temporary decision, but the result of several meetings, where the Hyuga Main family elder constantly talked about the impact of letting Hizashi die in place.
They talked so much about family honor and village righteousness, but when it came to themselves, they hesitated and made excuses. This was really... hehe.
Hizashi was going to lose his life, but your daughter would only lose a pair of Byakugan and would still be able to live well.
In everyone's eyes, both Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi were village Chunin, and there was no difference. In fact, the former had fought many battles and worked hard for the village, making him more valuable than the latter, who only hid in the village.
Feeling the suppressed atmosphere around him, Hiashi felt miserable, but he still didn't budge and firmly opposed.
He wasn't fighting for himself.
