The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 332
Looking at Hanzo's cold gaze, Hinata Kyohiko knew that there was no room for countermeasures, and in the end he could only bow his head sadly and say: "I have nothing to say, but it's up to Hokage-sama..."

When he said those words, Hinata Kagehiko's heart was bleeding.

Even though Konoha's high-ranking officials don't have much power to speak, this status alone has brought a lot of invisible benefits to the Hyuga clan.

And as the highest level of Konoha, he can also know the policy direction of the village at the first time, and use this to make profits for the Hyuga clan.

It can be said that after more than half a year as a consultant elder, in terms of power, the Hyuga clan has truly secured the top spot among the three major families in the village.

But now, Hinata Kagehiko knows that he, the elder advisor, has done his best.

Sure enough, Hanzo said lightly: "Hyuga Kaghiko, as Elder Konoha, knows Konoha's decree, but still instigates the planning of the attack. Now, in the name of Hokage, I am resigning Hinata Kaghiko from the post of Advisor Elder. As for those Hinata ninjas who did it, considering that they were also acting under orders, they were locked up in Konoha Prison for a month, with small punishments and severe punishments, and those who had public positions were also dismissed."

Every time Hanzo said a word, Hinata Kagehiko's face became paler, and in the end, Hinata Kagehiko looked a little shaky.

For the punishment of the Hyuga clan, Hanzo certainly did not do it at will.

Don't look at the miserable appearance of the Zong family now, but they still have the absolute initiative in the face of the separation, holding the bird in the cage.

Moreover, the interior of the branch family is not monolithic.

Those Hyuga ninjas who attacked Hyuga Chie and the others were almost all branch ninjas.

After all, the Hyuga clan does not have such a large population.

The family division system of the Hyuga clan has been implemented for so many years, how could the clan not have some diehard loyalists?

The clan itself has a small number of members, so these diehard loyalists are naturally selected and cultivated from the sectarians.

And these loyal ninjas also have their own close relatives. Although these people can only be regarded as a minority in the branch family, this has also led to internal disputes in the branch family.

In order to abolish the family separation system of the clan, one must not only put pressure on the clan from the outside, but also use the internal division to force the clan.

This two-pronged approach is the best way.

Since his teammates are unreliable, Hanzo has to find a way to give them a hand. In order to put enough pressure on the division, Hanzo chose to weaken the clan.

Removing Hyuga Kaghihiko's elder advisor is a major weakening, removing the public office of those ninjas under the sect and imprisoning them for a month is also a major weakening.

As for the elders of the Hyuga Clan, most of them are retired ninjas, and they didn't take action in person, so it's not easy for Hanzo to target them.

However, there are only three main reliance of the Zong family in the face of the division, Hinata Kaghiko's position as the elder advisor, the ninja power in the Zong family's hands, and the curse seal of the bird in the cage.

Hanzo took advantage of this opportunity to cut off their two major reliances, and he had already reached the limit.

Hearing Hanzo's punishment measures, the entire Hokage office fell silent.

It's not that Hanzo's punishment is unfair. His punishment of the Hyuga clan can be called business-like.

But it was this kind of official business that made Feima, Quanna and others a little stunned.

"I didn't expect Hokage to make such a ruthless hand..." Feijian was secretly amazed.

Who doesn't know that the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Shimada clan is good, the two clans have cooperated for so many years, not to mention wearing a pair of pants, the relationship is also very close.

Normally, if Hanzo deliberately suppressed this matter, he could even be punished with three glasses of wine, which is not an exception.

Even after seeing the appearance of Hinata Kaghihiko and Hanzo today, Tobuma only thought that he might warn the Hinata clan with a small punishment, but he didn't want Hanzo to be cruel directly.

"Hokage's move... I'm afraid it's going to attack the bird in the cage?" After all, it was Senshou's door. After thinking for a while, he guessed Hanzo's purpose.

While guessing it, he couldn't help but sigh that Hanzo's timing was really good.

This time, the prestige of the Hyuga clan fell to the bottom, and they were deeply involved in internal conflicts. Hanzo once again held back all the power in the hands of the clan for a full month.

It can be said that during this month, facing the separation of the family, the Hyuga clan has no confidence at all except for the bird in the cage.

However, there is nothing illegal about this combination of punches. Anyone will only think that the Zong family is to blame, and will not think that Hokage is bullying others.

"It really is a good method..."

There was a dark sigh in the heart.

Just when the elders were a little stunned, Cang Lan on the pommel horse spoke.

"I support Hokage-sama's opinion."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned again, and even Hanzo looked at her with some interest.

Still the same sentence, Kurama Canglan is not high enough to speak at this high-level meeting, but this time, Hanzo did not take the initiative to call her to speak.

Kurama Canglan also knew that she was a little anxious, but seeing that Hinata Kagehiko was about to give up the position of an advisor elder, of course she wanted to seize such a good opportunity.

I just heard her say: "Master Hokage, the behavior of the Hyuga clan this time is indeed too outrageous. I think this kind of punishment is reasonable."

With Kurama Canglan making the head start, the other elders had no friendship with the Hyuga clan, so naturally they didn't bother to speak for them.

"I agree too..."

"Seconded!"

"..."

After a round of voting, the plan for dealing with the Hyuga clan was passed unanimously.

Hyuga Kaghihiko's face was ashen, even his lips were trembling: "Yes, Ho... Hokage-sama."

Nodding his head, Hanzo knew that the preliminary action to abolish the caged bird was considered complete.

Next, it mainly depends on whether the division is strong enough.

As an outsider, Hanzo could only secretly support the branch family.

But Hanzo is not too worried, the current separation is not the Hyuga separation in the drama era decades later.

During the ninja melee period, the branch family was the backbone of the Hyuga clan. At that time, the main family's pressure on the branch family was relatively light.

It was only in recent years that the Zong family began to gradually intensify.

Due to being restrained by the caged bird, it is difficult for Fenjia to resist, but generally speaking, Fenjia is far from being subdued now.

The Hyuga branch is like a spring that is gradually compressed. In the era of the original space-time plot, this spring was "broken", but now, it is far from that point.

The harder the Zong family pressed before, the stronger the spring rebounds now.

After glancing at the distraught Hinata Kagehiko for the last time, Hanzo noticed the pommel horse Solan who was sitting at the bottom, looking at him longingly.

After pondering for a moment, Hanzo added: "The vacated position of advisor elder will be temporarily replaced by Kurama Canglan."

When Cang Lan on the pommel horse heard the words, a trace of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."
