Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and their group stormed towards the Hyuga clan, attempting to put pressure on them. However, they were stopped before they could even enter the gate!

Although the group of Hyuga ninjas guarding the gate were respectful, they resolutely stopped Hiruzen and his group, stating that they needed to ask permission from the clan leader before allowing so many people to enter the Hyuga clan's territory.

"What exactly does the Hyuga clan want to do by blocking the Hokage and elders?!"

Danzo Shimura was very experienced in trespassing. With a cold, old face, he shoved forward and opened fire directly on the Hyuga clan's guard ninjas.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood silently by, watching his old friend exert pressure, his narrowed eyes chillingly cold.

Today, their group stormed into the Hyuga clan with great momentum, which was seen by all the major clans in Konoha. This was originally a way for them to demonstrate their strength and intimidate other clans.

Right now, there must be many clans exploring the outskirts of the Hyuga clan's territory using various methods. If they can't even get into the Hyuga clan's territory, then it's really a huge joke.

Faced with Shimura Danzo's angry rebuke, the Hyuga clan members guarding the area were somewhat embarrassed, but they still insisted that it was not convenient to enter the clan's territory at the moment and that they needed to wait for approval.

"In Konoha, the Hokage can go anywhere. Where is your clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga? Tell him to come out! So many of us have come here, and Hiashi Hyuga hasn't shown up. Does the Hyuga clan not even respect the Hokage?"

Having been repeatedly humiliated, Shimura Danzo's expression became terrifyingly ferocious, and his roar rose to a new level.

"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, I'm afraid Hiashi Hyuga won't be able to come out to see you."

Inside the clan's territory, Hyuga Sei and Hyuga Rai arrived with dozens of people to provide support, forming a standoff with Hiruzen and his group.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed so tightly they could trap a mosquito. "Has the Hyuga clan's traditions really deteriorated to this point? The branch family members are calling the clan head by his given name, and Hiashi himself isn't showing up, so he's having the branch family come out to stop them."

"Send someone to inform the Hyuga clan leader immediately! I'll wait here. I want to see how long he's going to leave me hanging!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was certainly not going to sit here waiting idly. The situation with the Hyuga clan was too strange. He had just sent someone to inform Homura Mitokado to be prepared to take action at any time.

He didn't want any more turmoil at this time, but if he were to back down now, he might as well just abdicate as Hokage.

After another minute of stalemate, Danzo could no longer contain himself and roared as he prepared to lead his men to charge in.

"We are deeply sorry for not welcoming the Hokage properly. Please do not be agitated."

Before the words of persuasion had even finished, Hyuga Kaze's figure appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others in a fleeting moment.

"What does the Hyuga clan mean by sending another branch family member? Are they really planning to...?"

Danzo stopped midway through his attack, stunned by what he saw.

"Chieftain!"

The Hyuga clan members present all bowed respectfully to Hyuga Kaze, their expressions extremely serious and earnest. This bizarre scene caused Danzo to halt his preparations for attack.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were filled with questions. What the hell was going on? How could a branch family member become the head of the Hyuga clan? Were all the main families dead?

They exchanged a glance, and Danzo launched another attack. "What are you trying to do? Do you think we're fools? You think we can just send anyone to impersonate the Hyuga clan leader!"

Danzo's words instantly froze the atmosphere in the room, and the Hyuga clan members glared at him angrily.

"There is a misunderstanding. With the honor of the Hyuga clan as proof, Lord Kaze is indeed the new head of the Hyuga clan."

Seeing this, Hyuga Rai quickly tried to smooth things over.

Although Hyuga Rai was from the branch family, he was still a Jonin in the village, and his words, backed by family honor, were highly credible. However, what he said was so outlandish that it felt like explosive tags were exploding in their heads.

At the same time, a sound of dogs barking and insects flying around suddenly came from the forest.

In just a few moments, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind had already gone through seventeen or eighteen twists and turns. Hyuga Kaze had become the new clan leader, but what about Hyuga Hiashi, and what about the elders of the main clan?

As usual, Danzo took on the task of criticizing others, saying, "Who gave you the right to be the clan leader? What about Hiashi Hyuga and the other members of the main clan?"

Faced with Danzo's advances, Hyuga Kaze was not angry at all. He explained with a smile, "It's like this. Seven days ago, the former clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, suddenly had a whimsical idea to compare strength with the branch family ninjas."

As you know, we couldn't refuse the main family's enthusiasm, so we had no choice but to muster our courage and experience Lord Hiashi's strength firsthand.

For some reason, the clan chief was defeated by me. The other clan elders didn't believe it, and one by one they tried to fight, but I defeated them all as well.

Hinata Kaze sighed insincerely and continued, "Well, maybe they've been served too much and haven't had much training, which is why I got a free ride."

After this round of competition, the Hiashi clan chief and the elders of the main branch realized that they were not strong enough to protect their clan and defend Konoha, and they all felt very ashamed.

So they decided to entrust me with the important task of clan chief. They all devoted themselves to diligent practice and secluded themselves to cultivate.

Now they are all very diligent, often hanging themselves by their hair or pricking their thighs with awls.

Hinata Kaze's words made Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others frown.

Although some of the words sounded strange and gave them a strange and disgusting sense of familiarity, the meaning in Hinata Kaze's words was very clear.

A power struggle occurred within the Hyuga family, with the branch family seizing control of the main family.
