Naruto Time Control

Chapter 255: Is that explanation good enough?

"Hmph... Now what else do you have to say!"

The Kumogakure ninja looked at Hiashi coldly.

Hiashi's face became very grim, he looked at the ninja in charge of examining the body and said, "No signs of control? Are the tenketsu also okay?"

The strange and unnatural movement of the Kumogakure delegation leader at the time of death led Hiashi to believe that he had been killed beforehand and then sent to the Hyuga Clan's territory with the help of a puppet technique.

The goal was to worsen the Hyuga Clan's relationship with Konoha.

After saying that, Hiashi looked around, stopping at Shikaku Nara and Konoha Military Police Chief Uchiha Fugaku.

What is happening is most beneficial to the Uchiha Clan and possibly other large clans.

This could be done with the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu or the Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique.

But.

Looking around, Hiashi saw the calm and indifferent looks of Uchiha Fugaku and the others.

"Does the Hyuga Clan Chieftain think this was created by the Uchiha Clan?"

Noticing Hiashi's gaze, Fugaku calmly said, "We, the Uchiha Clan, despise such means.... But you, the Hyuga Clan, recently seem to think of yourself as the greatest clan in Konoha."

What happened really has nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan, and they really despise such means, but the Hyuga Clan's absence at yesterday's celebration did not please Fugaku very much.

In his opinion, due to the too active development recently, the Hyuga Clan began to neglect the rest of Konoha.

Fugaku's words made the Uchiha Clan members present look coldly at the Hyuga Clan members, and the surrounding atmosphere immediately became very heavy.

A ninja from Kumogakure chuckled as he looked on, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

It seems that the Hyuga Clan is really cut off from Konoha and no one will take their side.... Now Kumogakure won't dare to stand up to Konoha, but the Hyuga Clan will have to pay the price.

"We, the Hyuga Clan, never thought of that and we are still part of Konoha."

Hiashi looked at Fugaku grimly and said firmly.

"..."

Fugaku folded his arms and said nothing.

The conflict between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, the strongest clans in Konoha, is inevitable.

They now control the Konoha Military Police, while the Hyuga Clan controls the Perception Department.

Within Konoha, between the duties of the Perception Department and the police, of course, there are conflicts, but both sides behave extremely restrained.

After all, no one wanted to provoke the Fifth Hokage. As soon as the conflict causes discontent on the part of Yeruashi, it is possible that all parties will have a very hard time.

After a while.

The ninjas of the Second Shadow Guard Squadron and the Konoha Interrogation Department repeatedly checked the body of the Kumo delegation leader, and finally ascertained the previously established cause of death.

At this point, the ninjas of Kumogakure were completely enraged, they all looked at Hiashi and the others angrily and shouted, "You have to give us an explanation!"

"The leader just secretly sneaked into your clan's territory, he didn't do anything else! You're deliberately destroying the peace between Konoha and Kumogakure to provoke another war!"

"You must take responsibility for what happened!"

The shouts of the enraged Kumogakure ninja echoed in the courtyard.

Hiashi's face darkened.

Noticing that Uchiha Fugaku continued to stare at him indifferently, while Shikaku stood still to the side without saying a word, Hiashi felt a shiver run down his back...it seems that the problem is taking a very serious turn.

Little Hinata, who was hiding behind Hiashi, was startled by the angry shouts of the Kumogakure ninja and began to cry softly, two small hands gripping the edge of her father's cloak tightly.

Just then.

A calm voice came from the side.

"If Konoha doesn't give an explanation, will they resume the war?"

Hearing this voice, Fugaku and Shikaku turned to look in their direction at the same time.

The crowd parted quickly, allowing a figure to enter the center of the courtyard.

"Hokage-sama!"

Shikaku immediately approached Yeruashi, bowed and began to describe the situation.

Yeruashi waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "No need, I already know..."

The Fifth Hokage crouched down, paying no attention to the Kumogakure ninja, and with a soft smile looked at Hinata, who was shyly hiding behind Hiashi and said, "Hinata, come to me, there's no need to be afraid."

Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yeruashi's attitude and looked at Hinata, "Hinata, meet Hokage-sama."

Hinata looked shyly at Yeruashi and murmured, "Hokage.... Hokage-sama."

But his soft smile made Hinata forget her fear.

Yeruashi smiled and said, "You weren't so afraid of me when you were just born, at that time you were crying when you left my arms."

"Oooh..."

Hinata certainly didn't remember that moment, but she instinctively felt close to Yeruashi. She especially felt the attraction of his blue eyes, which seemed to come from his bloodline.

Hiashi looked at Hinata and smiled a little, saying, "Hinata, go to Hokage-sama."

Hearing her father's words, Hinata took a timid step forward and then quickly ran to Yeruashi and hid behind him.

Yeruashi patted Hinata's small head, lifted her up and looked at the ninjas of Kumogakure.

"..."

The faces of the Kumogakure ninja were extremely grim.

The ninja at the head hesitated, but still said indignantly, "Hokage-sama.... These arrogant Hyugas killed our leader, in an attempt to destroy the peace between Konoha and Kumogakure, which was achieved at the cost of great effort, this matter must be explained by the Hyuga clan..."

The above words about the resumption of war or something like that were said purely out of emotion, in the Fifth Hokage's face, of course, no one dared to talk about it.

In case the war is really provoked, they won't be able to get out of Konoha alive.

And even if they did make it back alive, they would most likely be beheaded by the Fourth Raikage....

"Give an explanation?"

Yeruashi smiled softly.

There was no anger or any other negative emotion in that smile, just a soft, sunny smile.

He grabbed Hinata with his right hand and raised his left hand in front of him, pointing his open palm at the Kumogakure ninja who had just spoken.

Whoosh!

The Kumogakure ninja involuntarily flew in the direction of the Fifth Hokage.

Crack!

Yeruashi closed his fingers around his neck and opened his palm.

Thud!

There were now two corpses of Kumogakure ninja lying on the ground.

"!!"

This scene horrified the ninja of Kumogakure.

They all shuddered and involuntarily retreated.

Yeruashi calmly said, "The Hyuga clan is part of Konoha, and since you ask Konoha ninjas to give an explanation, then you want an explanation from Konoha.... Then this is Konoha's explanation.... Any other questions?"

These words of Yeruashi caused strong emotions not only in the Hyuga Clan ninja, but also made all the ninja of other clans present, including the Uchiha Clan, as well as the civilian ninja, take a deep breath.

This is the Fifth Hokage!

They are all Konoha ninja!

In the eyes of the Fifth Hokage, whether a civilian shinobi or a clan shinobi, all are equal, all are part of Konoha!

Konoha will never make concessions in such matters in front of other villages!

"Hokage-sama, your actions may cause a war... but this is truly the right attitude for the ninja of Konoha!"

Shikaku took a deep breath and whispered softly, and the corners of his mouth lifted to reveal a slight smile.

Ninja should be proud to be part of Konoha!

"Hokage... Hokage-sama... how can you..."

Cold sweat broke out from the forehead of a Kumogakure ninja, he looked at Yeruashi in disbelief, about to say something, but the next moment, his body fell limply to the ground.

Yeruashi looked at the rest of the Kumogakure ninja and chuckled as he said, "Any other questions?"

A silence ensued.

"There doesn't seem to be anything else, so let's disperse."

Yeruashi's gaze swept over the Kumogakure ninja. Seeing that no one was going to speak, he smiled and went with Hinata to the Hyuga Clan's residence.
