After receiving Fang Mo's command, Orochimaru imdiately used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the area.
But he didn't just leave.
However, the mbers of the Hyuga clan couldn't stay calm.
Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi exchanged glances and saw the concern in each other's eyes. After all, they were dealing with one of the founders of Konoha, the legendary shinobi Uchiha Madara. If he lost his temper, who could stop him? They couldn't rely solely on the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
To be honest, the Hyuga clan was also a prestigious shinobi clan in Konoha. They had witnessed the Third Hokage's leadership over the years, and if he had even a fraction of the courage and vision of the First and Second Hokage, the rumors wouldn't have driven the White Fang to commit suicide.
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke about peace, but it was just a cover for his own weakness. If Uchiha Madara really went berserk, would Hiruzen dare to confront him?
Clearly, he wouldn't dare. And then he would claim that he was doing it for the sake of Konoha and peace.
In truth, while Konoha was a shinobi village, every clan had its own thoughts and interests. Apart from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio who were loyal to the Hokage, other clans had their own agendas.
Over the years, everyone knew what kind of person the Third Hokage was, and the Hyuga clan was no exception. That's why they were having tea with Orochimaru to discuss the Hokage election, right?
It was evident that they were taking sides.
To be honest, Hyuga Hiashi had noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi's weakness long ago. He lacked the strength of Hashirama Senju and the courage and foresight of Tobirama Senju. So, he had decided to take sides now. It would be best to let Orochimaru beco the Hokage as soon as possible and seek protection for their Hyuga clan.
Otherwise, if sothing happened one day, Hiruzen Sarutobi would sacrifice anyone, including the Hyuga clan, using peace as an excuse.
However, they didn't expect that even before Orochimaru beca the Hokage, his lover, Shimura Danzo, would cause trouble by attacking Uchiha Madara, the god of the shinobi world. Now, Uchiha Madara was waiting in the Hyuga clan's territory for news. If anything went wrong, the first to suffer would be the Hyuga clan, and they wouldn't escape even a single mber.
Thinking about this, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but resent Danzo.
Why did he have to provoke him of all people!?
Hyuga Hiashi was indeed anxious. He didn't want the fate of the Hyuga clan to be ruined because of him. But at this mont, his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, ca up with an idea.
"Brother, do you rember Chuki?"
Hyuga Hizashi whispered, "I heard that Uchiha Madara seems to like that girl. Why not bring her here... at least it can delay things a bit. We can't let the Hyuga clan be destroyed without any reason, right?"
"Chuki?"
Hyuga Hizashi did rember that na. He had heard it ntioned by so mbers of the branch family during the battle at Kikyo Mountain. Uchiha Madara had so interaction with the girl, not only guiding her in her Taijutsu but also eating together. It seed like he had so affection for her.
It had long been rumored that Uchiha Madara had never had any descendants of his own.
Could it be because of his old age that he was now fond of children?
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi nodded, "Let's give it a try then. Bring Chuki here as soon as possible. We need to find a way to gauge Uchiha Madara's intentions. If he is truly only targeting Danzo, we might be able to help."
"Brother, are you sure about this?"
Hyuga Hizashi looked surprised as he glanced at Hyuga Hiashi. "Danzo is a close confidant of the Third Hokage. If you do this..."
"The Fourth Hokage is about to take over."
Hyuga Hiashi clenched his teeth, seeming to have made up his mind. "Right now, it's Danzo who is digging his own grave. We're just trying to protect ourselves. We know Hiruzen Sarutobi's character well; he won't attack us for the sake of the village. Once the Fourth Hokage takes over, we'll be safe."
"Well... okay."
Hyuga Hizashi nodded at Hyuga Hiashi's words and then sent soone to find Chuki.
Since this place was the Hyuga clan's residence, Chuki quickly arrived there running.
"Huh?"
Of course, Fang Mo noticed Chuki's arrival and imdiately realized that the Hyuga clan was quite clever. They were more sensible than the Uchiha clan, and they probably wanted to gauge his intentions and see if they could join his side.
"Um... um..."
Seeing Fang Mo covered in blood, Chuki hesitated for a mont, then subconsciously said, "No... the clan head didn't order to co."
"So you accidentally ran into ?"
Fang Mo glanced at Chuki and almost burst out laughing, "You were running on the playground outside, and you happened to see here, so you ca to say hello?"
"Ah, yes..."
Chuki nodded quickly.
"Forget it."
As the first child he encountered in this world, Fang Mo was quite kind to her. He patted her little head directly, "Children shouldn't get involved in such matters. Let Hyuga Hiashi co and talk to ."
"Uh..."
"Hyuga Hiashi!"
Seeing Chuki hesitating, Fang Mo directly called out to Hyuga Hiashi.
As a result, in the next mont, Hyuga Hiashi appeared in front of Fang Mo with the Body Flicker Technique and respectfully bowed, "Uchiha Madara, the Hyuga clan has no intention of offending you."
"How much do you know about Root?"
Fang Mo looked at Hyuga Hiashi and asked directly.
"It's said to be a training base for the ANBU Black Ops."
Hyuga Hizashi replied, "But from what I know, the inside of Root is extrely dark. They need to undergo training to erase their own existence. To keep the secrets, they even have to bear a cursed seal. Danzo once approached in the na of the Third Hokage and asked for people, claiming that Root was the darkness of Konoha, an organization that would sacrifice everything to protect the village in the shadows. But I suspect Danzo is only interested in the Byakugan."
"If you want to take action against Danzo, the Hyuga clan is willing to help you find his hiding place. With the Byakugan watching, he won't escape."
"You're quite flattering."
Fang Mo looked at Hyuga Hiashi and teased, "After all, I am an Uchiha. Back then, Tobirama Senju conspired against my clan. Now that I control Konoha, aren't you afraid that your Hyuga clan will suffer the sa fate as my Uchiha clan back then?"
"I believe you won't do that."
Hyuga Hiashi imdiately replied.
By now, he had already taken the side of the Hyuga clan. Instead of hesitating and being submissive, it was better to be firm in his position. Maybe he could gain the trust of Uchiha Madara.
So, it all ca down to making decisions. It was clear that Hyuga Hiashi, as the clan head, had a keen eye. Otherwise, why would the Hyuga clan be flourishing while the Uchiha clan was nearly exterminated? So sotis, the decisions of a clan head were crucial. The Hyuga clan sought support, while the Uchiha clan sought their own doom.
"I'll stand up for your Hyuga clan in the future."
Fang Mo smiled and said, "Anyway, go find Danzo's hideout for . Don't let a single one of them escape."
"Yes, Uchiha... Lord"
Hyuga Hiashi nodded and then left the place with the Body Flicker Technique.
After that, the entire Hyuga clan began to move.
Both the main branch and the branch families' elites started searching throughout the village using their Byakugan.
Other shinobi clans couldn't sit still when they saw the Hyuga clan suddenly taking action. They thought sothing big had happened, and after inquiring through their own networks, they realized the seriousness of the situation. The Hyuga clan seed to have taken sides already?
As the news spread, even the Uchiha clan, as Konoha's police force, soon received the information. They were shocked to learn that Danzo had dared to assassinate their ancestor, Uchiha Madara. The Uchiha clan mbers were all mad with anger. How could they tolerate this? They would kill Danzo and anyone who stood in their way! So countless mbers of the Uchiha clan activated their Sharingan to search for any information related to Root.
Now both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans were taking sides. Soon, other shinobi clans like the Inuzuka clan, the Abura clan, and others couldn't sit idly either.
Even the Shimura and Sarutobi clans heard about this matter.
Keep in mind, this was all happening in broad daylight.
As a result, there were already Root operatives reporting this matter to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, at this mont, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already received this information, which was delivered by one of Orochimaru's shadow clones. It said that Uchiha Madara was already furious and gave Danzo an ultimatum. Either Danzo died or Konoha would be annihilated. Old man, it's up to you to choose.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also in a panic.
After all, Shimura Danzo was his old friend. They had been close friends for a long ti, and Hiruzen had heard so rumors about Danzo hiding things from him. But he had turned a blind eye to it and was willing to compromise, considering it a way of maintaining peace. However, now...
This was clearly not sothing that could be solved with compromises.
Because even if Hiruzen wanted to, he couldn't imagine that Danzo would dare to attack Uchiha Madara.
"Danzo, have you gone crazy!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped the table hard, "How could you dare to go after him!?"
"They are all dead soldiers, and there's no evidence to prove that this was the work of Root," Danzo replied with his hands in his sleeves. "I was only testing to see if he really is Uchiha Madara. His appearance is too bizarre, and he doesn't have any chakra within him. Don't you find that strange?"
"He really is Uchiha Madara."
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Even Uchiha Fugaku admitted his identity. Do you think the Uchiha clan would mistake their ancestor for soone else?"
"Maybe this is a conspiracy by the Uchiha clan. Just based on his words, it's not enough to prove anything."
Danzo snorted and said, "I just wanted to test if he's really Uchiha Madara. After all, his appearance is too mysterious, and he lacks chakra. Aren't you curious?"
"Both Orochimaru and Jiraiya confird that he is Uchiha Madara."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Danzo and said, "If that's not enough... Jiraiya recently went to Myoboku Mountain. The Great Toad Sage predicted that he is indeed the real Uchiha Madara. Jiraiya ca with hope, but if we act recklessly, the fires of the apocalypse will burn the last leaf of Konoha"
