Chapter 115 War of words
"I see. The Hyuga clan caused great trouble to the Kumo ninja on the battlefield. They are here to seek revenge on the Hyuga clan."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took over the Anbu's words with a look of sudden enlightenment, and completely determined the assassination tonight.
“It seems that the Kumo ninja’s hatred for the Hyuga clan is truly profound, and they’ve deliberately targeted them on the battlefield.
Even though so many Hyuga tribe members on the border had sacrificed their lives before, they still refused to give up and actually sent people to the village to assassinate them."
As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, his expression was filled with worry and concern for the Hyuga clan's plight, and Hinata Feng was deeply moved by his words.
"Hokage-sama truly cares deeply about the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan members who died on the battlefield would surely be moved if they knew about this.
Who could have expected that the reconnaissance ninja would suffer such a heavy loss?
By the way, Hokage, I wonder what the Sarutobi clan’s losses have been like in terms of border personnel?
Especially Asuma, he won't be targeted by the Kumo Ninja, right?"
Hinata Fuu countered magic with magic, putting himself in the shoes of the Sarutobi family and showing a deep concern for his family members.
The kindness and care in his eyes made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little difficult to adapt to, and he could only respond with an awkward smile.
"Although the losses were significant, they were all sacrifices for the village. Whether it was Asuma or the other Sarutobi, once they stepped onto the battlefield, they were prepared to sacrifice their lives."
The more Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, the more bizarre his perspective became, "The actions of the Kumogakure Village are outrageous. They actually sent people to sneak into Konoha to assassinate me.
I think the Hyuga clan should send more people to the border.
Firstly, there are not enough border patrol officers, and secondly, this is the Hyuga family's revenge against the Kumogakure. We need to put more pressure on them to prevent them from sending in people to infiltrate and assassinate us."
You are talking in your sleep with your eyes open. Even I, a keyboard user who has been active in the forum for many years, have to admit defeat.
Hinata Feng complained in his heart, sighed, and responded: "The Hyuga clan also wants to make more contributions to Konoha, but we are just a small family. We have lost so many people in the previous battle. We are really powerless."
"You are too modest. The Hyuga clan is a big clan in Konoha..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up to stop Hinata Feng's nonsense, but Hinata Feng seemed to be deaf and continued talking to himself.
"If the Hyuga clan wasn't so weak, they wouldn't have been assassinated at the gate of their clan.
By the way, I wonder how so many Kumo ninja assassins managed to sneak into Konoha Village?"
As he said this, Hyuga Feng and a group of family members all looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.
Without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak, Danzo glared at Hyuga Feng fiercely and said, "Today, more than a dozen Anbu patrolling and defending the outer perimeter of Konoha Village were killed or injured. This is all because of you, the Hyuga Clan!
I'm afraid that in the future there will be many enemies targeting the Hyuga family sneaking in, so you have to send more people out to patrol and protect the village.
This is also for the safety of the Hyuga family itself!"
Danzo said this with confidence, but most of the people in the field felt dizzy after hearing it, and Hinata Feng even directly and forcefully retorted.
"So what you're saying is that our clan leader deserved to be assassinated. The Hyuga Clan was too conscientious and responsible in scouting the enemy on the battlefield, and it was a mistake to defend Konoha Village against the enemy."
Danzo's attitude also became tougher, "It is the responsibility of the Hyuga family to investigate the enemy situation!
Putting aside what happened in the past, if the Hyuga clan does not send enough people, other clans will need to send more people.
The lack of sufficient scouts and patrol forces' inadequate means of investigation led to the invasion by the Cloud Ninja. Shouldn't your Hyuga clan be ashamed? "
Hinata Feng couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. He knew very well that this kind of verbal confrontation would not be very effective, and that in the end, strength would still have to be considered.
The reason for getting entangled with them is to let each family see more clearly the true faces of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, and also to delay a little more time.
After all, this clone is not strong enough to sweep the enemy, so it can only play this role.
As for the real body, it has just gone to the root base!
Suppressing his inner discomfort, Hinata Feng continued his dual operations, controlling his clone to speak, "So you're saying that the patrol guards are completely blameless, and that it's the Hyuga clan leader who was attacked who's at fault?"
"The fact that you were attacked proves that you, the self-proclaimed clan leader, are nothing more than that! We have already investigated everything that happened tonight. The Kumo Ninja sneaked in to assassinate you, yet you didn't even dare to send people to the border to fight against the Kumo Ninja. And you still dare to claim to be a major clan of Konoha."
"Hehehe", Hinata Feng didn't get angry but laughed when he heard that. He slowly walked to a tree on the side of the road, stretched out his hand, and actually took out a camera from the trunk!
“I’m afraid that what happened tonight has not been fully investigated.
Fortunately, the light curtain in the sky last time gave us inspiration. In order to protect the weak family, we installed a lot of cameras on the road leading to the family in the village.
Luckily, the previous battle didn't damage it, and there's video here to prove the fact.
To be honest, those who besieged me were initially fighting under the banner of Elder Danzo.
I can't really tell if they are Root or invading Kumo ninja."
Before Hinata Feng finished speaking, the faces of Danzo and the others changed drastically, which made Hinata Feng feel refreshed as if he had drunk an ice cola. They acted so happily before, and now let's see how you act.
"This kind of thing can be forged!"
Danzo spat out this vicious sentence, which was already a naked threat.
“The evidence inside hasn’t been released yet, yet the elders are so eager to draw conclusions.
What's more, even forgery takes time, and we can compare the contents with the traces at the scene.
We are all ninjas and can make our own judgments. We don't need to let Elder Danzo make his own decisions on everything!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hinata Feng with deep eyes, as if he had seen an opponent more difficult than the Uchiha clan.
"Well, now that we have the evidence, let's leave it to the Anbu to analyze. There's a lot of information that's not suitable for too many people to know. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to suppress the matter by force, but how could Hinata Feng cooperate?
"Not suitable. Hokage-sama, do you think the besiegers' methods are not suitable for those present to know?"
"I have absolute trust in all my comrades in Konoha, but there are too many people here. Everyone has their own responsibilities, and the rest of the work is best left to the Anbu. They are very good at investigation..."
"Lord Hokage!"
Hinata Feng interrupted Hiruzen rudely, "These people are dressed just like the Anbu. Are they investigating themselves?"
Danzo couldn't stand Hinata Feng's arrogance, "How dare you! Are you saying this because you don't trust the Hokage or the Konoha high-ups?"
"I have absolute trust in Hokage-sama," Hinata Feng told a cold joke, and then continued: "But there are too many people in the Anbu, and their responsibilities are complicated. It is inevitable that there will be evil people who deceive their superiors and subordinates and act recklessly.
I think it would be best to clarify things on the spot while so many virtuous people are here.”
