In Konoha's Hokage Office, Minato stayed up all night, when he learned that the Cloud kidnapped the daughter of the Hyuga Clan, he waited for the news to come back.
"Sandaime, you can go back and rest, leave this to me." Minato looked at Sarutobi, who was sitting on the side, smoking a pipe while waiting.
Sarutobi said: "Now that the Uchiha are gone, the Hyuga with the Byakugan are the mainstay of Konoha, their clan matters are related to the future of Konoha, I should be here …"
Ten minutes later, the ninja said: "Yondaime-sama, Hyuga Hiashi is back …"
Minato got up and said with joy: "Then, his daughter should also be …"
"His daughter didn't come back!"
The smile on Minato's face disappeared.
"A cloud ninja was killed halfway, the scene was too horrible to look at, and Hiashi's daughter is also missing! I'm afraid it's impossible to find her! "
Minato slowly sat back in his chair and said: "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know, there are only traces of explosive tags on the scene!"
"Explosive tags, it's impossible to tell who did it …"
"How is Hiashi-san?" Minato asked.
"It doesn't look so good …"
"In any case, we should go and greet him." Minato got up.
At this time, the ninja guarding the gate ran over: "Yondaime-sama, the Cloud ninjas are at the entrance of Konoha, they claim …"
After hearing this.
"Go to the entrance of the village!" Yondaime-Sama got up.
"Then I will go to the Hyuga …" Sandaime-Sama got up.
Konoha Village Entrance.
Led by Jacky, the Cloud ninjas carried a bloody corpse on a stretcher.
"Yondaime-sama, our ninja went to the Land of Fire to hunt down a traitor, but he was killed by the Hyuga for no reason …"
"Why are you so sure that it's the Hyuga who did it?" Behind Yondaime-sama, a ninja shouted.
"The injuries are obvious, his meridians were shattered by Chakra, in Konoha, only the Hyuga Clan can do this, and this kind of power can only be done by Hyuga Hiashi, according to what we said, hand over his body! Otherwise, the Cloud will declare war on Konoha! "
Obviously, he knew that the other party was being unreasonable, but there was no evidence to prove that Kumo kidnapped Hinata.
Even if there was evidence, it would still be the same. The original work proved this point.
Hyuga Hiashi, when Cloud Village kidnapped Hinata, discovered the whereabouts of the other party and killed him on the spot. However, the Cloud Village still unreasonably demanded that Konoha hand over Hiashi's body, otherwise, they would start a war …
At that time, Minato was dead, and Hiruzen returned to the position of Hokage. He compromised for the sake of peace.
Hyuga Hizashi sacrificed himself for his elder brother. Although he avoided the war and protected Byakugan, his actions caused Neji's tragic childhood. His body and heart were like a bird in a cage. Neji's body and heart were like a bird in a cage.
The Fourth Hokage Minato was facing a great choice!
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, came to the residence of the Hyuga Clan and found Hiashi. After explaining the situation to him, he said, "Hiashi, I know it's unreasonable to say this to you, who just lost your daughter …"
"I understand. I was indeed wrong in this matter. It was because I didn't keep my composure that the other party got hold of my weakness. Sacrificing myself to protect the village from the pain of war, I will not shirk my duty …" Hyuga Hiashi decided to die.
"Wait, Hiashi, don't make such a hasty decision …" Beside Hiruzen, the Elder of the Hyuga Clan said, "The Hyuga Clan's Kekkei Genkai is the trump card of this village, and it is the responsibility of the Main Clan to protect it!"
Hiashi said, "But we, who are supposed to do our duty, are pulling the village into the abyss of despair …"
"I know this, so …" The Elder said, "That's why we need the existence of the Branch Family!"
Hiashi was shocked and looked at Hyuga Hizashi behind the Elder.
"We will send Hizashi's body as your substitute … and Hizashi has already agreed to all of this." The Elder said.
Hiashi said, "But those guys want the ability and secret of the Byakugan. After Hizashi's death, the ability of the Byakugan will be sealed, and Kumo will not accept such a method!"
The Elder said, "Although they also think so, but the condition they proposed is to hand over your body to them, pretend to agree to their request, and then hand over the Hizashi who looks exactly like you. That way, they will have nothing to say …"
"But …"
The elder continued, "Hiashi, it's time to use you. For generations, you've been guarding the bloodline limits of the Hyuga Clan. Even if you're a brother, you still have to be ruthless … This is the fate of the Zong Clan! This is also the fate of the Hyuga Clan! "
While Hiashi was hesitating, Hizashi stepped forward and said with a faint smile, "Hiashi-sama has always been tough, what's wrong this time?"
Hiashi clenched his fist and said, "Today's matter is extraordinary, it can't be decided so easily!"
Crack!!!
Hizashi's palm hit Hiashi's abdomen!!
"Hizashi, you …" Hiashi's eyes widened.
"Please let me go!" Hizashi said.
"You and Neji, why do you want to die for the Main Clan!"
"It's not like that …" Hizashi said, "I resent the Main Clan, and I still resent them, but because of this, I don't consider you as a member of the Main Clan, but as my brother, I will protect you with my life. For me, this is my first choice, it's freedom! Neji has always seen me as humble, so I understand my own will better. "
"So in the future, I hope you can tell Neji that I will not be killed for the sake of the Main Clan, but for the sake of my brothers and the Village!"
"You … you chose to die for your freedom?!" Hiashi was confused.
"Onii-san … Just once is fine, I want to defy the fate of the Hyuga Clan and choose my own destiny, that's all!" Hizashi turned around.
"Hizashi!!" Hiashi looked at his brother's back and lost consciousness.
"Sandaime-sama, Elder … please do it!" Hizashi said without hesitation.
"Let's go to Yondaime-sama first …"
"That's good, we can do it in front of the Cloud Village, it will shut their mouths!" Hizashi said.
It's not like that. Hizashi faintly hoped that the younger generation he had high hopes for would make a decision that he didn't have the courage to make.
Konoha Village Entrance.
"I'm sorry, but I can't!" Minato looked up and said politely but indifferently.
"Yondaime-sama, do you want Konoha to be baptized by war?!" Jacky said coldly.
"The flames of war …" Minato's blue eyes flashed coldly.
Crack! He turned into a flash of golden light, and the Kunai cut a line of blood on Jacky's throat …
Just before the blood was about to stain his Hokage Cloak, he flashed back to his original place!
Plop! Jacky knelt on the ground, covering his bleeding throat, and said with his eyes wide open: "You, do you know what you are doing!?"
"I know, but everyone in this village is my family, for the sake of peace, I can't sacrifice my family …"
Minato shook the blood off his Kunai and said: "And … What's the truth of the matter, everyone knows it. In the past, Konoha seemed to have left you with some false impressions, which drove you to repeatedly provoke us, but as long as I'm here, don't even think about using the excuse of war to threaten Konoha!"
Bang! The Kunai was nailed in front of the group of stunned Cloud Ninjas.
Minato said loudly: "Konoha has never been a troublemaker, but it's not afraid of trouble. If you want to fight, then go ahead. As long as Cloud Village is confident, after the war with Konoha, they still have the strength to fight against Uchiha Takeshi …"
"Bastard, Yondaime-sama …" Jacky breathed his last with endless unwillingness.
That group of Cloud Hidden Village people took the corpses of Jacky and Gujuyi and left dejectedly.
In the rear, Hizashi and the Third Hokage looked at all of this with complicated expressions.
Hizashi sighed in his heart: Maybe I'm really old, and it's time for me to retire …
He said to Hizashi apologetically: "Hizashi, I'm sorry, I almost sent you to the road of no return …"
Hizashi said: "No, Sandaime, you are the same as the Fourth Hokage, but he has the sharpness of a young man …"
Hizashi pressed his hat: "I'm very ashamed …"
It is said that later, because of Hizashi's bravery, Hiashi also reflected that Neji was not branded with the Caged Bird's mark when he was three years old!
In this way, Neji's tragic fate was rewritten by the 4th Hokage Namikaze Minato, who was different from his predecessor's tough decision, towards a bright and open future!
