Hokage Building!
There isn't just one Hokage office in this building.

At this time, a meeting room in the Hokage Building was activated.

The venue was not large, only the size of an ordinary living room, and the furnishings inside were extremely simple, with only a long wooden table and a dozen high-back chairs.

Hinata Hiashi, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a white kimono inside and a black haori outside, walked slowly into the room. His pure white eyes swept across the venue and he found that quite a few people had already gathered in the room.

Hinata Hiashi did not take the initiative to talk to anyone in the room, but walked calmly to the second row seat closest to the main seat and sat down.

During the entire process, Hinata Hiashi's every move was like that of a robot, completely in line with the etiquette of the big family without any violation. Even when he fell behind, he sat upright with his back straight, without any inappropriate posture of being sloppy, hunched over, or otherwise like the other people in the venue.

Hinata Hiashi glanced at the empty seat opposite him and thought to himself, "Isn't the Uchiha here?"

Then Hyuga Hiashi glanced at the other people. The person who could enter this venue must be the patriarch of the Konoha Ninja Clan. Ordinary ninjas were not qualified to occupy a table or chair in the venue.

Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Aburame, Inuzuka, Kurama, Shimura...

However, unlike Hyuga Hiashi who was calm and composed at this moment, the clan leaders of these ninja clans all had serious expressions and looked depressed.

Hinata Hiashi quickly figured out what was going on, and said in his mind: "I think the news of Danzo's defeat of the Raikage Ai must have reached Konoha, and they are worried about Danzo's revenge."

It is an open secret among the senior officials of Konoha that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a hypocrite. It is also an unfair fact that Danzo is a complete villain.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't like someone, he will still care about his reputation and will not retaliate too harshly. He may even put on a show of showing mercy to others.

If you offend Danzo, he will really take revenge on you, so the patriarchs of the major ninja clans who arrived here tonight all came with the determination to die.

When he left the family, he had already arranged his funeral affairs.

He wanted to use his death to completely appease Danzo's anger, so as not to damage the interests of the family.

Hinata Hiashi thought to himself, "It seems that I was right to follow Setsuna's steps."

There is no doubt that he made the right choice in this political stance, but he was not very happy in his heart. What he really wanted was to kill Danzo, not to see Danzo become the Fifth Hokage.

"Why would the Uchiha, who has a blood feud with Danzo, choose to support Danzo? Are the Uchiha really so servile that they will be obedient after a beating?" Hinata Hiashi muttered.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen and two Hokage advisors walked into the venue. After he entered the venue, the Anbu outside the door immediately closed the door of the venue.

After taking his seat, Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly, "I called you here tonight to tell you two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news."

Hinata Hiashi just sat there with his eyes and nose focused, without revealing any emotions, and remained silent throughout.

Nara Shikaku was lying on the table listlessly, supporting his head with one hand, not paying any attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words. He had already made up his mind to die, and the fact that he was still able to sit here and not curse Sarutobi Hiruzen directly was a sign of his restraint.

The other clan leaders were also silent, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel awkward, but he did not show it on his face and continued, "The good news is that Danzo cut off one of Raikage Ai's arms during the battle, which greatly reduced his combat power and forced the Kumogakure Ninja Realm to retreat."

Among the major ninja clan leaders who heard this, only the leader of the Shimura clan showed a happy smile on his face, while the others all looked depressed. This was not good news at all, it was simply a notice of his death.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath again and said in a heavy tone: "The bad news is that the Fourth Raikage has sent troops to the Land of Fire again, asking us to hand over the two-tailed Nekomata. At the same time, the seal that linked the root to Danzo's life, the Tongue Root, disappeared tonight."

The listless laziness of Nara Shikaku, who was originally listless, disappeared in an instant.

"What?"
The clan leaders who were not good at cultivating their Qi immediately cried out in surprise.

Aburame Zhiwei took his hand out of his pocket and gently pushed up his sunglasses. There were still a few black parasites crawling on his hand, and it was obvious that he was not at peace.

Hinata Hiashi said happily: "This is good news."

He glanced at the empty seat of the Uchiha clan leader and thought to himself, "Danzo died. Was it because Danzo himself was too weak, or was it because the Uchiha..." "Did they choose Danzo during the election? Did Setsuna know that Danzo would die?"

Suddenly, a spiritual energy attacked him. This invasion was not rough, but gentle, asking for his opinion. Needless to say, this must be the secret technique of the Yamanaka family [Heart Turning Technique].

With Hinata Hiashi's strength, it was not difficult for him to break free, but he did not resist the invasion of mental power, and soon his mind was pulled into a unique chat network.

"Chief of the Rizu Clan!"

"Have you formed an alliance with Setsuna?"

Hinata Hiashi has been under strict family upbringing since childhood, and not showing his emotions is a basic skill. Although he was very excited just now, it is difficult for outsiders to tell.

In response to Yamanaka Inoichi's questions, he neither admitted nor denied them, but just listened quietly.

In Yamanaka Hiichi's private chat channel, there are not only him and Hiashi, but also Shikaku, Choza, Shiwei, and Inuzuka Tsumugi.

"Great! That old immortal Danzo is dead, hahahaha!!! I'm fine now." Inuzuka Tsumugi shouted excitedly in the private chat channel.

"Uchiha Setsuna is so cruel! He actually killed Danzo." Akimichi Choza sighed.

"By the way, how did Uchiha Setsuna kill Danzo? I still don't understand it now." Inuzuka Tsuma asked.

"It shouldn't be Uchiha Setsuna who killed Danzo." Aburame Shiwei directly denied Inuzuka Tsumugi's words.

"Isn't it Uchiha Setsuna?" Inuzuka Tsuma was puzzled.

Nara Shikaku said: "I also think it wasn't Setsuna who did it. He wanted to kill Danzo himself. Danzo would definitely not survive the night of the genocide."

Then I only heard him analyze: "I think Setsuna just took advantage of the situation and used Danzo's desire for the position of Hokage, and then made him jump into the trap of the battle between Kumogakure and Konoha."

"Although I don't know how Danzo died, Setsuna should be very sure that Danzo would die if he went to the battlefield in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Aburame Shiwei added: "Think about it, Danzo is definitely going to die. The strength of Kumogakure is already strong. Even if Danzo defeats the Raikage and Jinchūriki, he will definitely face the attack of Ōnoki."

Everyone felt heavy-hearted when they heard Ōnoki's name.

At this time, Yamanaka Inoichi said to Hyuga Hiashi: "Chief Hiashi, could you arrange for us to meet with the Uchiha Great Elder?"

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hiashi immediately said: "You have found the wrong person. I have nothing to do with Setsuna."

Everyone who heard this was angry at first, but at this moment Inuzuka Tsuma said dissatisfiedly: "You can stand on the same front as Uchiha in the Hokage vote, but you are still here saying that it has nothing to do with Setsuna, and you think we are fools."

Hinata Hiashi said honestly: "I have no connection with Setsuna."

"Hizuki, this is boring. We have been so honest with each other, and you are still like this..." When she said this, Inuzuka Tsume suddenly paused, and then an inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said in a clear voice: "Oh...I understand, this is what Zhiwei said, some things can be done but not said. After doing it, you must never admit it."

"As expected, he is the head of a thousand-year-old family."

Upon hearing this, other people in the private chat channel also showed an "I understand" expression at the same time.

Rizu, who was in the meeting room, clenched his hands into fists hidden inside his clothes. He was telling the truth, but he met a tiger woman who kept making up stories, so no one believed him after he explained for a long time.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Rizu, you have nothing to do with Setsuna."

"We know what to do in today's meeting, just watch!" Inuzuka Tsume said carelessly.

Even someone as good at cultivating his Qi as Hinata Hiashi had a hard time keeping his emotions in check: "I know! What do you know? You guys~~" (End of this chapter)
