Is this person crazy?
The original intention was to block him for a moment so that the plan behind could proceed more smoothly, but no one would have thought that Kakashi would dare to draw his sword directly.
Is the Third Hokage beside him also crazy? Why didn't he stop it?
Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to stop it but was persuaded by Kakashi's eyes and stopped.
Even though they are enemies, their love for the village is real.
As for the others, even if they wanted to stop him, they were not qualified because this man was currently the second most powerful fighter in Konoha.
Between life and death, Ma Buyi took a step back out of instinctive fear and made way for the road ahead.
Everyone continued to rush towards the Hyuga clan like the wildest hurricane sweeping through without mercy.
Under the supervision of the Anbu, Ma Buyi could only follow slowly from behind.
"Nuruyi, you must succeed..."
……
"It's too late..."
The Third Hokage felt a chill from within, while Kakashi felt anger burning in his chest.
There was only Hiashi holding the frightened Hinata in the venue. Lying on the ground opposite him was a Cloud Ninja whose bones were broken by the gentle fist. It was the leader of the diplomatic delegation, Nuruyi.
Facing the gazes of the large group of people, Ri Zu was at a loss at this moment.
Time goes back.
In the Cloud Ninja Base, Ma Buyi confirmed the number of Anbu members around through perception. The opponent's surveillance intensity was much weaker than the previous two days, so he nodded with satisfaction.
The groundwork done previously now seemed to have played a crucial role, and Hinata's intelligence was confirmed to be correct, so the plan began.
Several Cloud Ninjas looked at each other and revealed their determination to die.
If everything goes well in tonight's operation, only one person will die. If not, others may die here.
Those who stayed here might cause a riot and their lives might be in danger. At the last minute, the plan was finally made public, and everyone present did not disappoint the village's expectations. They were all good Cloud Ninja men who were willing to die calmly.
Mabui suddenly went out and took away the two strongest ANBU jonin. A riot broke out in the base. Three Kumogakure jonin escorted Nurui away from the base with the help of Kumogakure spies and quickly approached the Hyuga clan's territory.
When the time came, the three jonin attracted the attention of the patrolling ninjas of the Hyuga clan.
Nuruyi lived up to everyone's expectations and bypassed the guards using the map in the intelligence and captured Hinata Hyuga.
The curtain was opened. When the two Hyuga brothers found that Hinata had disappeared, they immediately found the figure of the robber through the Byakugan and chased after her.
Finally, outside the woods, Hiashi used the Bagua Kongzhang to shatter the opponent's heart, and then took Hinata back at an extremely fast speed.
By the time I found out who the deceased was, my scalp was tingling.
The Cloud Ninja envoys died under the gentle fist.
Just at this moment the Third Hokage also arrived. Is all this a coincidence?
A certain black shadow burrowed into the ground, and planning famous scenes was the greatest pleasure in his life.
How can this big drama in Konoha be without Black Zetsu?
He put a lot of effort into making the crude plan of Kumo Ninja come to fruition. He would do anything to weaken the five major countries.
Now we just wait for the final show to begin.
Sure enough, Ma Buyi almost laughed out loud behind the crowd. The Fourth Raikage's expectations had finally come true.
Then he tried his best to control his expression and put on an expression of grief.
"I came out tonight to look for Lord Nuruyi, but was obstructed by Konoha's Anbu."
"How do you explain this scene now?"
"Konoha will pay for this!!!"
"Hand over the murderer, otherwise the agreement will be void and we will meet on the battlefield!"
The logic is so ridiculous that when the purpose of the plan is revealed, it loses its mystery.
Some even say that this is a conspiracy full of loopholes and an impeccable overt conspiracy.
Nuruyi’s death was nothing. On the scale in everyone’s heart, on one side was a “murderer” of the Hyuga clan, and on the other side was the peace of Konoha.
How to choose? The results have already come out, and all that’s left is a fair and aboveboard process.
The Third Hokage had a very ugly expression on his face. He knew that the Will of Fire would suffer a severe blow, but it was still within the acceptable range.
The price Konoha has to pay is almost nothing, because the enemy just wants the Byakugan~~~hehe.
But Rizu has a twin brother, so no matter who did it…the caged bird of the branch family is really a good thing.
Danzo's face was slightly pleased, weakening Hinata's influence could be done easily.
Finally, he brought the senior executives present, Hiashi, and Hizashi who had just arrived back to the Hokage Building.
Chapter 63 Lost? What are you afraid of!!!
At the same time, he asked the Anbu to notify all the jonin and ninja clan leaders in the village to come together to start an emergency meeting. Major events involving the village required everyone to participate before a decision could be made.
Kakashi's expression flickered on the way, and he could almost imagine what would happen next.
In the conference room, the two Hyuga brothers carefully explained how the Cloud Ninjas created chaos in the periphery and sneaked in to kidnap Hinata. It can be said that their arguments were very well-founded.
Finally, Hiashi angrily expressed his hope that the Hokage would make the decision. Their clan has always been following the will of fire and is willing to do more for the village in the future.
It can be said that he has used all the chips that Hinata can use. This is not to save himself, but to save his younger brother.
The clan elders and the Hokage would never allow their bodies to be handed over, so they could only force Hizashi to die.
But on the other side, the peace agreement was taken out by Mabuyi and placed together with Nuruyi's body. Nothing was said but the meaning was self-evident.
Hiruzen said nothing, and neither did the jonin squad.
The other three elders now acted like villains, just as they always did.
"Although……"
"Anyway..."
"For Konoha..."
"For peace..."
The high-sounding words express deep sorrow and grief, and one wishes a few tears would shed from his eyes.
The Third Hokage seemed to want to say something several times but didn't say anything. His helpless look of wanting to help the Hyuga clan made everyone present want to comfort the old Hokage.
Although he spoke in righteous terms, Kakashi suddenly felt awkward and uncomfortable for some reason.
"Hokage-sama, it was the leader of the Kumogakure envoys who robbed Hyuga Hinata. Logically..."
Kakashi couldn't help but get baptized just after he finished speaking.
"Lord Kakashi is wrong. This is not just a simple distinction between a bad guy and a good guy. This is..."
The Moonlight Clan leader jumped out and tried to use a non-offensive tone to stop the other party from speaking any further.
"Lord Kakashi's original intention was good, but Hinata...after all..."
Another small ninja clan leader jumped out.
"Kakashi, although you have made outstanding achievements in battle, you still lack experience. You should learn more from the Hokage. Otherwise, how can I rest assured that the future of the village rests on your shoulders?"
Such high level of skills and yet such empty promises come from the Nara clan.
"Master Kakashi..."
"Master Kakashi..."
"Lord Kakashi, peace is hard-won."
Finally, a civilian jonin stood up and told the war hero that sometimes the distinction between right and wrong depends on interests and positions.
They didn't want to sacrifice for Hinata, and they were right.
We are all good people, and I hope Hinata can be a good person too.
……
This was the first time that Kakashi was opposed by representatives of the entire village, and he felt a strong shock in his heart.
For a moment, the flame between his eyebrows burned a little weakly, and he really didn't know what to do.
Revolt? Revolt against whom? The whole village?
Who to save? Save Hinata? Save the village? Save...myself?
Draw the sword? Where can the sword point to?
The Cloud Ninja tied up the interests of the entire Konoha to teach Kakashi a good lesson: young man, welcome to the adult world.
When Ri Zu saw this scene, he felt sad.
The Hyuga clan sacrificed several generations of their lives for the village, but in the end this was the result.
Since there is nothing I can do to save the situation, then... I'll just do as you wish... At worst, I can go first, and my brother can...
"Please rest assured, Hinata will give a suitable explanation..."
After saying this, he left with a lonely look on his face, but his back was no longer straight. The pride of the thousand-year-old clan was broken today.
The song ended and the crowd dispersed. The Cloud Ninja succeeded and Konoha also won.
Everyone looked relieved. It was really scary to encounter such a thing in the middle of the night.
After exchanging a few words with each other, they went home to sleep. The next day was another good day.
Only Kakashi left the Hokage Building like a zombie, walking aimlessly on the deserted street.
He held the sword in his hand but did not have the spirit of a swordsman. Even the comfort of his friends could not awaken his mind.
"Blood Thunder... that's all."
Ma Buyi carried the body of his comrade on his back and gave the young man a victorious look before walking away.
The Third Hokage upstairs looked at the boy's back with an expectant look. If this could correct his thoughts, then it would not be a bad thing to get a Fifth Hokage who suits his mind.
Back at the Hatake residence, Kakashi lay in the bathtub, feeling as if his body was rusted.
In fact, by the end his persistence was already shaky, and perhaps it was the right choice for Hinata to pay the price to appease the anger of the Cloud Ninjas and end the peace.
People like me who insist on doing so are selfish. The fire is slowly dying out, and no external force can save the heart once it is eroded by darkness.
The next day, Kakashi walked onto the street again with a pale face. Looking at the smiles on the faces of passers-by, he felt a pang in his heart.
They knew nothing that a despicable conspiracy had been successfully carried out the previous night.
The warriors of Konoha had to use their lives to exchange for a humiliating peace, but himself... Kakashi Hatake was powerless.
As we walked, we arrived at the Hyuga clan's territory. Today's territory was far less festive than when the celebration was held yesterday.
The whole family was lifeless.
No one tried to stop Bloody Thunder, and Kakashi walked to the door of the main house.
Hiashi just happened to come out. He already knew the decision made at the clan meeting, but he still felt uncomfortable when it was announced.
Who wouldn't be afraid of death? It's just... a bird in a cage has no choice, and his feelings for Rizu also allow him to accept all this.
Hatred, fear, determination, all kinds of emotions gathered in the heart with nowhere to vent.
But he still smiled when he saw the captain, which was hope left for Neji.
"Captain, you've arrived just in time. Come to my house and have a seat. By the way, you haven't seen Neji yet. The little guy was so excited when he found out he could become a disciple of Bloody Thunder."
Before Kakashi could refuse, he was pulled away by Hizashi.
Normally, Hiashi is very well-behaved due to the restrictions of the Hyuga family rules, but now there are not so many restrictions.
On the way, he was no longer cautious in what he said and did, but was eager to say everything to Kakashi.
"Although Neji is not as talented as you, I believe..."
"This little guy didn't stay with me for long. He was delayed on the battlefield..."
