Konoha Village isn't very big, but the interpersonal relationships are intricate and complex. Before Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others could close the door and reach a satisfactory conclusion, the matter concerning the Hyuga clan was quickly leaked out.

After all, their previous actions against the Hyuga clan were quite significant, and many clans in Konoha are known for their reconnaissance skills.

For example, the Inuzuka clan releases dogs, the Aburame clan releases insects, and the Hyuga clan... cough cough.

In short, news of the Hyuga clan's misfortune spread throughout all the clans of Konoha in a very short time.

While Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were discussing behind closed doors, these clans also gathered together to discuss how to view Hyuga Kaze in the future and how to communicate and get along with the Hyuga clan.

Thanks to the Hyuga clan's consistent secrecy and conservatism, and its lack of conflicts of interest with other clans, almost all of them decided to stay out of it and observe the situation.

On one hand, they found it difficult to accept the way the rebellion had brought them to power. On the other hand, they didn't want to waste their manpower fighting for the sake of Konoha's leadership.

When the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the benefits they left behind didn't reach the hands of the various clans, so why would they show their faces this time?

It's better to see what methods the Naruto characters use.

By the time Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group had finished discussing and decided to have Danzo's men investigate the Hyuga clan's internal situation before taking action, the commotion in Konoha had subsided and returned to calm.

Next, waves of Root and Anbu spies appeared around the Hyuga clan's territory, attempting to break through the defenses and investigate. However, each time they were defeated by the sharp Byakugan and the warning barrier, and could only leave unwillingly.

Unable to enter, Danzo could only arrange for people to follow the Hyuga clan members who went out, attempting to take away some information obtained through torture.

However, the Hyuga clan are practically the ultimate homebodies; they all stay within the clan compound and never come out. Only those who go out to purchase supplies leave the compound.

However, they always came and went in groups of ten or twenty ninjas, and they were divided into two teams, one in front and one behind, to support each other, so the Root could not find a good opportunity to strike.

Taking action against so many Hyuga ninjas all at once within the village would create too much of a commotion.

Thus, the entanglement and fighting between Root and the Hyuga clan continued for several days, but they could never find an opportunity, which made Shimura Danzo so angry that his heart ached.

Danzo and his group were unhappy, but Hyuga Kaze was in a good mood. With the help of the dozen or so injured Root ninjas, he found several more Root bases and marked their locations, waiting for the right opportunity to make his move.

As for now, he needs to appease the two resentful women first.

"Isn't this our great Hyuga clan leader? We are truly flattered that you have time to visit us two humble former teammates!"

At Kurenai's house, Anko saw Hinata Kaze and at first her eyes lit up with joy, but the next second her face turned sour and she started to mock him.

Anko's reaction left Hinata speechless, unsure of what to say.

On the other side, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Hinata Kaze with a resentful expression, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions: longing, worry, resentment, and unease. She didn't say a word, but her expression spoke volumes.

They've been under a lot of pressure these past few days, and have been taken in for questioning by the Anbu several times.

Sadly, the two of them only learned from the Anbu that Hyuga Kaze had become the head of the Hyuga clan and had been removed from the ranks of ordinary ninjas, and their ninja team was disbanded inexplicably.

Hinata Kaze could resist Anko's words, but he found it hard to bear her poignant and sorrowful expression. He could only offer a wry smile and explain.

"It was wrong of me not to tell you some things in advance. Now that I'm here, there's no need for this."

Anko pulled Kurenai, who was about to give in, and they stood together to form a beautiful pair of twin flowers, while Anko still showed no mercy to Hinata.

"Now that you are the head of the most prestigious clan in Konoha, shouldn't we two young ladies bow down to you with utmost respect?"

"What a troublesome woman," Hinata Kaze rolled her eyes and chose to defuse the awkwardness with a joke.

"Good to know. You two ordinary Chunin, why don't you come over and serve me properly?"

As Hinata Kaze spoke, he strode over to the sofa and sat down casually, opening his arms to Kurenai and Yuhi.

Kurenai and Anko exchanged a glance, but instead of scolding Hinata Kaze, they walked shyly to Hinata Kaze's side.

Instead of snuggling into Hinata Kaze's arms, the two of them knelt down obediently like little servants, massaging Hinata Kaze's legs. Their demure and shy demeanor made Hinata Kaze's heart pound wildly.

Now it was Hinata Kaze's turn to be flattered. He was terrified that a venomous snake might crawl out of Anko's body at any moment.

However, the satisfaction he felt from watching two beautiful and delicate female ninjas serve him made him unwilling to give up the enjoyment.

Hmph, Xu Xian, a mere scholar, dared to act as a rough-and-tumble hero. Do you think I, Hyuga Kaze, who has mastered the Eight Trigrams Palm, wouldn't dare to play around with Mitarashi Anko?

Thinking of this, Hinata Kaze bent down and pulled the two girls into his arms, teasing them with a wicked smile, "You two are so well-behaved, I can't bear to let either of you go. What do you suggest we do?"

Kurenai rested her head against Hinata Kaze's chest, her voice gentle yet firm, "Who else could I choose but you?"

However, I also do not wish for Konoha to be harmed.

Faced with the beauty's deep affection, Hinata Kaze naturally offered gentle reassurance, "Don't worry, I can handle the relationship with the village."

Some people merely wield power in Konoha; they do not represent Konoha.

At this point, Hinata Kaze turned to look at Mitarashi Anko in his other arm.

Red Bean's skin, which was pressed against Hinata Kaze's, had been rapidly warming up since the beginning, but she remained stubborn. "I was just playing around with you earlier. Do you really think you're so great just because you're the head of the Hinata clan?"

As she spoke, Hongdou turned her face away unnaturally, avoiding Hinata Kaze's gaze. "Hong and I are best friends. She has a good temper. If she follows you, she will definitely be bullied. I have to keep an eye on you for her."

This textbook example of tsundere almost made Hinata Kaze burst out laughing. He forcibly suppressed the urge to laugh out loud and took out two scrolls to hand to Kurenai and the others.

"This scroll bears my mark. Tear it open if you are in danger, and I will come to protect you."

"You two just wait and see. I'll come back to favor you after I've dealt with all that mess."

Hinata Kaze's words and expression were full of teasing, and Anko, unable to bear the provocation, retorted sharply.

"Don't be afraid of us! There are two of us, so don't let your legs go weak!"

Hinata was very confident about this matter, and immediately grinned wickedly, "You said it yourself, so I won't be soft-hearted."

Red Bean wanted to retort, but Kurenai covered her mouth with her hand.

Red was screaming in her heart, "Don't provoke me! I'm really scared!"

Do you know that this guy is a beast? If I hadn't really been unable to bear it, I wouldn't have been forced to agree to so many shameful conditions and change into so many strange clothes, poses, and names.

Do you think I would accept a sister like you so easily?

Red looked at Hinata Kaze ingratiatingly, only to find that his eyes were once again filled with that familiar burning gaze, and she instantly felt a little flustered and weak in the knees.
