"I see. The Hyuga clan caused a lot of trouble for the Cloud Ninja on the battlefield, and they've come to take revenge on the Hyuga clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a look of sudden realization, took over the Anbu's words and definitively defined tonight's assassination attempt.

"It seems that the Cloud Ninja's hatred for the Hyuga clan is really deep, and they have already been deliberately targeting them on the battlefield."

Even after so many Hyuga clan members had sacrificed themselves on the border, they still wouldn't give up, and actually sent assassins into the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was full of concern and worry for the Hyuga clan's plight as he spoke, and Hyuga Kaze was deeply moved by his words.

"The Hokage truly cares deeply for the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan members who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield would surely be moved if they knew this."

Who could have predicted that the reconnaissance ninjas would suffer such heavy losses?

By the way, Hokage, I wonder what the losses are for the Sarutobi clan's border personnel?

Especially Asuma, won't he be targeted by the Cloud Ninja?

Hinata Kaze countered magic with magic, placing himself in the Sarutobi family's shoes and demonstrating his deep concern for the family members.

The kindness and care in his eyes made Hiruzen Sarutobi a little uncomfortable, so he could only respond with an awkward smile.

"Although the losses were considerable, they were all sacrifices for the village. Whether it was Asuma or the other Sarutobi clan members, they were prepared to die on the battlefield."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's perspective became increasingly peculiar as he spoke: "The actions of the Hidden Cloud Village are outrageous; they actually sent people to infiltrate Konoha to assassinate someone."

I think the Hyuga clan should send more people to the border.

Firstly, there's a shortage of border reconnaissance personnel; secondly, this is also the Hyuga clan's revenge against the Cloud Ninja. Putting more pressure on them will prevent them from sending more people to infiltrate and assassinate.

You're talking nonsense with your eyes wide open. Even I, a seasoned keyboard warrior who's been navigating forums for years, have to admit defeat.

Hyuga Kaze thought to himself, but sighed and replied, "The Hyuga clan also wants to contribute more to Konoha, but we are just a small clan. We have already lost so many people in the previous battles, so we really have no way to help ourselves."

"You're too modest. The Hyuga clan is a major clan in Konoha..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to stop Hyuga Kaze from talking nonsense, but Hyuga Kaze seemed to have gone deaf and continued talking to himself.

"If the Hyuga clan hadn't been so weak, they wouldn't have been assassinated at the gates of their clan's territory."

Speaking of which, I wonder how so many Cloud Ninja assassins managed to infiltrate Konoha Village?

As he said this, Hyuga Kaze and a group of family members all stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Danzo glared menacingly at Hyuga Kaze and said, "Today, more than a dozen Anbu members who were patrolling and defending the outskirts of Konoha Village were killed or wounded, all because of your Hyuga clan!"

In the future, there will likely be many more enemies infiltrating the Hyuga clan, so you need to send out more people to patrol and protect the village.

This is also for the safety of the Hyuga clan themselves!

Danzo spoke with such confidence that most of the people in the room felt dizzy and disoriented. Hyuga Kaze even retorted forcefully.

"So you mean that it was right for the clan leader to be assassinated, and that the Hyuga clan was wrong to be too serious and responsible in scouting enemy positions on the battlefield and defending Konoha against the enemy?"

Danzo's attitude hardened further: "Reconnaissance is the responsibility of the Hyuga clan!"

Putting aside past events, if the Hyuga clan doesn't send enough people now, then other clans will need to send more.

The lack of sufficient scouts and inadequate reconnaissance methods by the patrol forces led to the invasion by the Cloud Ninja. Shouldn't your Hyuga clan be ashamed?

Hinata Kaze couldn't help but curl his lip upon hearing this. He knew perfectly well that such verbal exchanges were not very effective, and in the end, it all came down to strength.

The reason for engaging with them in this way is both to let the various families see more of Hiruzen Sarutobi's true colors and to buy more time.

After all, this clone isn't strong enough to sweep through everything, so this is all it can do.

As for the real body, it has already gone to the Root Base!

Suppressing his discomfort, Hyuga Kaze continued operating on two fronts, controlling his clone to speak, "So you're saying the patrol guards bear no responsibility, but the Hyuga clan leader who was attacked is the one with the problem?"

"Being attacked proves that you, who call yourself the clan leader, are nothing special! Tonight's events have been thoroughly investigated. The Cloud Ninja infiltrated and attempted to assassinate you, yet you didn't even dare to send anyone to the border to fight them. And you still dare to call yourselves a great clan of Konoha."

"Hehehe," Hinata Kaze laughed instead of getting angry upon hearing this. He slowly walked to a tree by the roadside, reached out and pointed, and actually pulled out a camera from the tree trunk!

"I'm afraid the matter tonight hasn't been fully investigated yet."

Fortunately, the light screen in the sky last time gave us inspiration. In order to protect our weaker family, we installed a lot of cameras on the road leading from the village to the family.

Fortunately, the previous battle did not destroy it, and there is video evidence to prove this.

To be honest, those who attacked me initially claimed to be Elder Danzo.

I really can't tell if they're Root members or invading Cloud Ninja.

Before Hyuga Kaze could finish speaking, Danzo and the others' expressions changed drastically. Hyuga Kaze felt as refreshed as if he had drunk an ice-cold cola. They had been putting on such a show before, now let's see how they act.

"These kinds of things can all be faked!"

Danzo spat out a vicious sentence, which was already a blatant threat.

"The evidence inside hasn't been released yet, and the elder is already rushing to conclusions."

Besides, even forgery takes time, and we can easily compare the contents with the traces at the scene.

We're all ninjas; we can all make our own judgments. We don't need Elder Danzo to decide everything based on his own ideas!

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hyuga Kaze with a deep gaze, as if he were facing an opponent even more formidable than the Uchiha clan.

"Alright, now that we have evidence, let's hand it over to the Dark Division for analysis. There's a lot of information that's not suitable for too many people to know. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to suppress the matter by force, but there was no way Hyuga Kaze would cooperate.

"It's not suitable. Does the Hokage believe that the attackers' methods are not suitable for those in the arena to know?"

"I have absolute trust in my comrades in Konoha, but there are too many people here. Everyone has their own responsibilities, so it's best to let the Anbu take over the remaining tasks. They are very good at investigations..."

"Lord Hokage!"

Hyuga Kaze interrupted Hiruzen without any politeness, "These people are dressed no differently than the Anbu. Aren't they investigating themselves?"

Danzo, unable to tolerate Hyuga Kaze's arrogance any longer, shouted, "How dare you! Are you saying you don't trust the Hokage or the higher-ups of Konoha?!"

“I have absolute trust in the Hokage,” Hyuga Kaze told a lame joke, then continued, “But there are too many people in the Anbu, and their duties are complicated. It’s inevitable that some evil people will deceive their superiors and act recklessly.”

I think it would be best to clarify things on the spot while so many virtuous people are here.”
