Chapter 205 Neji, Don't Be So Extreme!
Just as Nara Shikasuke was racking his brains over what to do, a communications ninja suddenly ran over from the village and shouted to him from afar, "Nara Jonin, the Hokage has sent a message that he's coming back soon and wants you to summon Enma immediately."
Upon hearing this, Nara Shikasuke felt a great sense of relief and quickly formed a hand seal, slapping the ground with his hands.
A puff of white smoke rose, and the figure of the Ape Demon King appeared.
Without wasting any words, he quickly formed hand seals and activated the "Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique" after he came out.
With a "whoosh," Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared.
After he came out, his eyes flashed like lightning, and with a quick glance to the left and right, he saw the situation in the arena and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, we've made it in time."
However, upon seeing the Edo Tensei army besieging the Hyuga main clan, his gaze sharpened again, and his heart grew heavy.
As puffs of white smoke exploded, Jiraiya, Itachi Uchiha, and others made their dazzling appearance.
The situation on the scene immediately reversed.
Neji couldn't sit still any longer. He climbed down from the treetops in the distance and leaped to the front of the battle, confronting Hiruzen Sarutobi face to face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced coldly at Neji, raised his Adamantine staff, and shouted, "Everyone, stop right now!"
When Neji saw the main force of the village return, he knew that he had lost the initiative. He could only sternly order, "Branch family, listen to my command! Hold this moment and see how our Hokage decides this matter."
Although the family members were unwilling, they had no choice but to reluctantly stop.
The remaining members of the main family were overjoyed and took steps toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, but as soon as they lifted their feet, they were blocked by the Edo Tensei.
"Let them come over here!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted.
"No way!" Neji immediately retorted. "Hokage-sama, no matter what your decision is, the branch family will never turn back today."
"I'm putting this out there right now: either all the main family members die, or we, the rebellious branch families, are wiped out. There is absolutely no third way!"
"The village supports our split, and we will continue to be ninjas of Konoha Village."
"The village doesn't support our division of the family, so we???we'll fight you to the death today!"
"That's right, let's fight the village!" All the rebellious branch families raised their arms and shouted.
"you----"
??????
Looking at the Hyuga branch family members before him, who were filled with fervor, their faces showing a death wish, and whose entire bodies were radiating the word "resolve," Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but tremble with heartache.
These are all the best of Konoha Village!
In a place like the ninja world, the spirit can truly influence the body, and spiritual enlightenment can truly create miracles!
How could such a promising ninja talent die here because of internal strife?
But if we choose them, does that mean we have to abandon the Hyuga main family?
That definitely won't work!
The main family represents the legal lineage!
Once the legal system is broken, will the order of the ninja village still exist?
Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi maintain such a firm grip on power in the village?
Is it because he's a better fighter?
The cunning Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately abandoned his tough stance, put down his Adamantine staff, and forced out a dry smile.
"Neji, don't be so extreme!"
"Being too extreme makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of."
"If I'm not mistaken, today's events were once again orchestrated by that Uchiha An behind the scenes."
"He hates our Konoha Village to the core and only wants to see internal strife within our village, determined to tear Konoha Village apart."
"You absolutely mustn't fall for his tricks!"
"Trying it? Heh???" Neji looked at the Third Hokage with a forced smile, thoroughly disgusted by his hypocritical face.
"Lord Hokage, I don't deny that I've been influenced by Lord An in getting to where I am today."
"It was under his guidance that I truly realized that the branch family and the main family are actually irreconcilable enemies."
"If he's lying to me, I'm willing to be lied to!"
"If he's using me, then I'm using him too!"
"He used me to avenge the destruction of the Uchiha clan, and I used him to seek a free future for the Hyuga branch family."
"You don't need to give me this nonsense. Between our branch family and the main family, only one side can survive today. Either the main family dies, or the branch family perishes."
After finally confirming his suspicions with Neji, Hiruzen Sarutobi hated An so much he could grind his teeth.
Damn it, why can't the Uchiha have some class like Itachi?
Only by letting go of hatred can we create a future!
Seeing that ordinary verbal attacks were ineffective, and Neji was determined to be irreconcilably opposed to the main family, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head with a heavy expression, bowed slightly, and apologized to all the Hyuga branch families: "I know that there are many conflicts between the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan. In the past, due to the rules of the village, I did not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Hyuga family."
"This is my fault!"
"I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as Hokage!"
"I assure you, starting today, the village will directly control the behavior of the main family within the Hyuga clan, and will strictly prohibit the main family from doing anything to the branch family that would harm the feelings of the clan."
"As for your concern that the main family will retaliate against the branch family ninjas who participated in the rebellion, that will absolutely not happen."
""
"In the name of Hiruzen Sarutobi, I hereby make a promise to all branch family ninjas: if any member of the main family dares to retaliate against a branch family, you only need to report it to me, and I will personally intervene and punish the main family member who dares to disrupt the harmony of the village."
His performance was highly effective.
The clan members are all cunning political veterans; they saw through the trickery immediately.
Although they were all secretly cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi for trying to take advantage of this opportunity to interfere in the management of the Hyuga clan and seize power from the ninja clan into the Hokage's hands, they were now in a situation where they had no choice but to admit defeat.
They immediately joined in on Sarutobi Hiruzen's plea, weeping and wailing, "It's all Elder Hiyu's fault for causing this mess, which forced us to split up like this."
"Please rest assured, Hokage, the main family will absolutely not retaliate in the future. We will prioritize the overall interests of the village and maintain good relations with our branch family brothers."
"From now on, the main family will absolutely never dare to use the 'Caged Bird' spell seal recklessly again."
The branch families on the main family's side were immediately overjoyed and spoke up in support of the rebellious branch families, shouting to them, "1!"
"My brothers who have branched out, do you see that?"
"Now that the Hokage is here to uphold justice for us, what else do you not trust?"
"Look at the situation now, it would be easy for the village to wipe you out."
"The Hokage would rather bow his head and apologize to you than lay a hand on his own comrades. What a magnanimous heart he has!"
'
"You must deeply appreciate the Hokage's sincere heart!"
