It's been four or five days since Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had their falling out, and they've been in pretty good spirits these past few days.
As Hyuga Kaze said, whatever amount of supplies the elder's family donated, the Hyuga clan would also contribute.
Many people heard about it at the time, and later, after Hiruzen, Danzo, and they discussed it, a brilliant plan was devised. They arranged for a large number of people to spread the word about Hyuga Kaze, making the entire Hidden Leaf Village aware of the agreement.
Next, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and the others joined forces to secretly transport a large amount of supplies from the village's supply warehouse to their own family's warehouse.
Then they loudly proclaimed to Konoha that the Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Utatane clans had sacrificed their clan interests and contributed their resources to support Konoha's recovery and help the villagers with their production and lives.
As truckloads of supplies were continuously transported from the warehouses of these families and distributed to the supposedly impoverished villagers of Konoha, the prestige of the Sarutobi and other families in Konoha rose steadily, reaching terrifying heights.
Of course, some losses during the transportation of supplies are perfectly normal, and even if the loss rate reaches more than 40%, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others understand.
After all, their families have also suffered great losses and need support. To save Konoha, we must first save them; they are the foundation of Konoha.
This supply transport continued for several days, and Mitomon and his group quickly gained unprecedented support from the villagers of Konoha. Walking down the street and seeing the villagers' admiring eyes, they felt incredibly satisfied.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was lying in a hospital bed, and Danzo, whose clan had been basically wiped out, would not have the opportunity to enjoy such treatment for the time being.
In the Hokage's office, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu sat upright, discussing the Hyuga clan's affairs. Their recent actions had put pressure on the Hyuga clan, and many Konoha villagers were already discussing when the Hyuga clan would provide them with supplies.
"Has the Hyuga clan shown any unusual behavior these past few days? Have they been preparing supplies?"
Koharu, grinning, asked Mitokado Homura, "Homura is in charge of intelligence."
"Unexpected silence. The Hyuga clan made no move at all, and you couldn't even see any Hyuga clan members on the street."
Mitomon Yan frowned, his words tinged with hesitation, "I'm afraid Hyuga Kaze is unwilling to provide supplies. I guess they feel ashamed to face anyone, so they're all hiding in their clan's territory and refusing to come out."
Upon hearing this, Koharu Utatane sneered with disdain, "Hmph, young people in charge are unreliable. They're using the same supplies as us! We've taken out most of the supplies from Konoha's warehouse, and even postponed the delivery of the second batch of supplies that were originally intended for the Sand Village."
"Where would the small Hyuga clan get so many resources to fight us?"
After a pause, Koharu Utatane came up with an idea, "Isn't Hyuga Kaze hiding in the clan's territory and not showing up? I think we should send someone to incite some villagers to cause trouble at the entrance of the Hyuga clan's territory and demand that they fulfill the clan leader's promise and take out the Hyuga clan's supplies."
This time, we must make them bleed a good pound!
In response, Mitokado Homura nodded affirmatively and said, "Indeed, the villagers of Konoha should see the ugly face of the Hyuga clan's selfishness and self-interest. You can arrange this."
I'll contact Danzo and try to arrange for someone to infiltrate the Konoha villagers' ranks to investigate the Hyuga clan's internal situation.
They've kept a very low profile in recent years. Apart from the ninjas they handed over in the past, there have been very few ninjas serving the village.
"We can't let this family, which lacks the Will of Fire, continue to be tolerated. This time, we must suppress their prestige, reduce their resources, and then gradually get them to contribute their manpower and strength to the construction of Konoha."
Xiaochun and Yan, longtime friends with great tacit understanding, smiled at each other as they talked, and then got up to prepare.
Driven by Mitokado and his group, many villagers soon went to the entrance of the Hyuga clan's territory to cause trouble and shout insults, but the Hyuga clan members seemed to have vanished, and not a single one appeared.
Something's wrong, something's very wrong!
"To be confronted like this, with people barging into our clan's territory and shouting insults, and not a single person steps forward? Is the Hyuga clan really that tolerant?!"
In the Hokage's office, Mitokado Homura pondered the Hyuga clan's movements, finding their actions rather strange.
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Danzo walked in. "Something is definitely wrong. The Root ninjas just reported that Kurenai and Anko have disappeared."
Furthermore, almost all of the Hyuga clan's properties in Konoha have been sold off without anyone noticing, mostly exchanged for supplies by Hyuga clan ninjas!
Bang! Mitokado Homura slammed his teacup down on the table, his voice filled with shock and anger, "What is Hyuga Kaze trying to do? Is he liquidating his assets in preparation for defection?!"
Just then, a Root ninja knocked on the door and entered, reporting to the group.
"Lord Danzo, some excited villagers stormed into the Hyuga clan's territory, and as a result..."
"What, damn it, what's the situation now?"
"Well, the villagers are fine, but there's no one in the Hyuga clan's territory. All the rooms are clean and tidy; they've all been emptied out!"
"Impossible! How can we not see a single one of such a large group? Quickly, investigate and find these Hyuga clan members who are deliberately hiding!"
Mitokado Homura felt like he was going crazy. What kind of plague had Konoha provoked? It hadn't had a peaceful year in recent years.
"Elder," a member of the secret service rushed in to report, "some unusual situation has arisen at the memorial tablet."
"What happened there?"
Under Mitokado Homura's persistent questioning, the ANBU ninja quickly reported, "A large amount of supplies have appeared over there, and there's a message on them saying that the Hyuga clan is supporting the villagers of Konoha to resume production."
Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, was speechless upon hearing this. Those bastards had really left!
Seeing that the ANBU ninja seemed hesitant to speak, Koharu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Forced into a corner by Koharu, the Anbu ninja had no choice but to reveal the truth. "There are still many photos left over there, showing that the supplies sent to aid the villagers were transported from Konoha's warehouse!"
After the Dark Guard finished speaking, Xiaochun and Yan felt a wave of dizziness and almost collapsed. With this kind of thing exposed, their reputations were ruined!
Unable to withstand even the slightest setback, Danzo glanced contemptuously at his two old comrades and then snapped, "What other information do you have? Tell us all at once, don't drag it out."
The Anbu member looked at Danzo and replied somewhat nervously, "The message also said that some of the supplies they left behind were things they couldn't take with them, and some were things that the two elders had taken from Konoha's warehouse over the years."
The Hyuga clan, grateful for the kindness of the two elders, helped move the supplies here, and everyone can take what they need! Judging from the large photos of the scene, the warehouses of the Mitokado and Utatane clans are now completely empty.

Upon hearing this, Mitomon Encho coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted completely.
Meanwhile, Koharu, who was in the tucked-up room, stood up shakily and shouted the three words "Hyuga Kaze"!
