Hyuga Clan Compound, meeting room.
The Grand Elder sat kneeling at the head of the table, Hiashi on the left, Hizashi on the right. These twin brothers were both looking at the Grand Elder who had just returned from the Hokage Building.
"The Uchiha clan will not pay compensation, the village will provide the compensation." The Grand Elder said.
"Why?" Hiashi asked.
Originally, it should have been him, the head of the main family, who went, but he wasn't on the scene at the time and hadn't had contact with Hiromi, so the Grand Elder, who wanted to go, went instead.
The Grand Elder said seriously, "It should be due to the reasons caused by the Shimura Clan. Hiashi, you can investigate more."
Hiashi replied, "Yes."
At the same time, he felt a bit strange. The Hyuga Clan seemed peaceful, but in reality, the system of the main family and branch family made the clan full of contradictions.
But if someone were to deal with them, the branch family would have to protect the main family, and at that time, they would be united against the outside.
Such a system led to their Hyuga Clan being able to ignore the various conspiracies happening in the village, closing themselves off from the outside world. As long as Konoha existed, the Hyuga Clan would always exist.
Now, the Grand Elder, who had always insisted on the policy of isolation, was actually asking him to take the initiative to participate in the village's conspiracies?
It seems that something important must have happened within the Shimura Clan that changed the current situation in Konoha.
"Then what about the matter of Hiromi destroying the Hyuga Clan Compound?" Hizashi asked.
Although no one was injured, one cannot be too careful.
The Grand Elder remembered Hiromi's appearance, that touch of golden imperial majesty, and his expression remained serious.
"Hiromi doesn't dare to kill. Since the village is paying compensation, the Hyuga Clan won't suffer a loss."
"The village's finances are a bit tight." Hiashi said.
He had taken office today, glanced at the budget, and discovered this problem.
The Grand Elder glanced at him, his gaze somewhat dissatisfied but he patiently said, "If the village can't afford to pay, they can use power to repay. Trading money for power is a good thing."
Then there will be more people to protect the main family!
If the Hyuga Clan assumes the position of Hokage, then all of Konoha will be able to protect the main family!
The Grand Elder felt very happy about his own idea.
"Yes."
Although Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi both responded this way, they felt things wouldn't go so smoothly.
Hiruzen and the Uchiha seem to be hostile now, yet the Uchiha also controls an important department—Root.
This is enough to show that the situation in Konoha is very chaotic, Hiruzen can no longer control the overall situation.
At this time, if the Hyuga Clan inserts itself as a third party, wanting to profit as the fisherman...
This muddy water should not be waded into!
Thinking of this, Hiashi spoke his thoughts, "Grand Elder, I believe the Hyuga Clan should give up the Police Force."
"No! This is the Hyuga Clan's opportunity!"
Hizashi wanted to speak up to support Hiashi, but seeing the Grand Elder's firm, stubborn appearance, he swallowed his words.
In the end, the two lowered their heads, watching the Grand Elder's feet walk past, full of unease.
—
When the Hyuga Clan took over the Police Force, the villagers were very opposed to it at first.
Could they be better than the Sarutobi Clan?
But they gradually discovered that although the Hyuga Clan's attitude wasn't as good as the Sarutobi Clan's, and their faces were sour every day, the work they did was indeed good, discerning the minutest detail.
Their tracking ability was also extremely good. It had been seven days, and not a single fugitive had escaped.
This made the villagers gradually get used to it but some people were very uneasy.
For example, Hiruzen, Shikaku, Itachi, and others.
Hiruzen, hindered by face, let Shikaku go to persuade Hiromi.
Itachi and Shikaku were the same type of person, so the two went together to Hiromi's home.
But they didn't find Hiromi, so they asked the clan members.
The clan members said, "He is at the lake testing new moves."
Itachi: "???"
Shikaku: "???"
Last time he destroyed the Hyuga Clan Compound and you still let him test? Aren't you afraid of testing out problems?
"Aren't you stopping him?" Shikaku became anxious.
"Stop him?" The clan member looked at Shikaku, as if seeing himself a few days ago, and mocked himself, "If we don't stop him, he just activates Fire Release Chakra Mode. If we stop him, he activates Flame Emperor Mode."
His self-mockery, in the expression of this sentence, seemed to be saying: "Stop him? Do you want to stop him with your life?"
Itachi: "..."
Shikaku: "..."
The words of the Uchiha Clan Members made them realize that it seemed they had nothing that could persuade Hiromi.
Forcefully stop him? Hiromi is terrifyingly strong.
Damage compensation? Hiromi directly makes the village pay.
The Hyuga Clan's dissatisfaction? The village's chaos?
To Hiromi, these are not even worth looking at. He is simply living in the moment with a violent temper.
On the way to the lake, Itachi and Shikaku were racking their brains thinking about how to persuade Hiromi.
But before they could even walk up, they saw a rocket-like orange flame soar into the sky. The two were stunned.
The next second.
"Holy shit!!!"
They hurriedly turned around and ran quickly toward the Hyuga Clan Compound.
But before they could run over, someone stood out and blocked them.
"Shisui, what are you doing!" Itachi was exasperated.
Especially since the surrounding clan members were just looking up, sitting on small stools, with a relaxed and cheerful look of watching the fun. They didn't look like they intended to go to the Hyuga Clan Compound at all.
What on earth has happened to the Uchiha clan?
Shisui looked calm and said, "The High Command's will is already firm. For the Hyuga Clan, who wants to fish in troubled waters, the Uchiha only has one path: deterrence."
