Chapter 117: Chapter 117
"The Hyuga Clan?"
After returning to his clan's residence, Kaito sat in his home, looking at the high-hanging sun in the sky, and couldn't help but ponder silently.
Nara Yaneko would never make aimless remarks. Having known her for so many years, she gave Kaito the same impression as that Nara Shikamaru kid.
Smart but also lazy, shunning trouble yet incredibly responsible, and once she approves of you, she'll think of ways to help you in many situations.
This kind of personality is really suitable for making friends, and she also has an impressive uncle.
Kaito believes that under such influence, she wouldn't lack exposure to and learning from diverse matters, and many of her opinions are naturally very referential.
The Hyuga Clan, like the Uchiha in Konoha, is one of the powerful clans of Konoha.
However, to be honest, the relationship between the Uchiha and the Hyuga isn't really good because both great families are dojutsu clans, bringing certain competition.
Especially when it comes to arguing over who is the first dojutsu clan and the first clan of Konoha, this competition is greatly amplified.
Moreover, many members of the Uchiha don't really like the Hyugas, perhaps the main family members are somewhat normal and bearable.
But among them are those with high pride and arrogance, which really annoys the Uchiha clan members.
As for the branch family members, they either appear bitterly resentful or they simply accept it as their fate.
These people are just like lunatics, how can one get along with them?
To be called lunatics by the Uchihas, one can imagine just how far these branch family members have developed.
Actually, Kaito doesn't exactly lack understanding for them, after all, having the seal of a caged bird on their foreheads, they really do resemble the most popular goods in Europe and America in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Deprived of personal freedom, their behavior rigidly controlled by the seal on their forehead, even their deaths are not their own.
In such oppressive circumstances, aren't they allowed to express themselves?
If they are truly silenced, then it is not misbehavior they learn in silence, but perversity.
"Do they really have potential in their clan?"
Kaito and Shisui had visited the Hyuga Clan before. Besides the clan head Hyuga Hiashi, there were also several elders present during their visit.
And during that time, Kaito treated it purely as a simple visit, without discussing too much with them.
Mainly, it seemed like he didn't have much to discuss with the Hyuga Clan, and given their poor relationship, it was naturally impossible to have more pleasant things to say.
However, looking back now, it seems like the Hyuga Clan is indeed worth attempting to ally with.
"First of all, the Hyuga Clan naturally has some advantages."
Although the system of main and branch families is a mess, when it comes to taking sides, this system shows unparalleled superiority.
"After all, words are spoken by people, and rules are made by people.
Even if everyone knows that the branch family must obey the main family, it's not impossible for a branch family member with their own ideas to resist.
Once you separate the main and branch families, it becomes an individual act, unrelated to the whole main family.
In this regard, they are indeed different from other clans, because while other clans are viewed as a whole, the Hyuga naturally have a hierarchy.
"Secondly, the Hyuga must have a fair share of disputes with Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Just think about the depth of the humiliation the Hyuga Clan has suffered, being forced to make the decision 'one person dies or an entire family dies' says it all.
Hyuga Hiashi's inner dissatisfaction with the current Third Hokage is also very heavy, or else the comical scene at the Chunin Exam wouldn't have happened.
After all, that was his own younger brother. Even if the relationship wasn't good, life and death aren't something others can force upon!
"It seems, it seems that this Hyuga Clan is indeed worth a try."
Having thought of this, Kaito had basically come to a conclusion, and he also thought of something else.
That is, although the Hyuga Clan is a large clan in Konoha, they don't seem to have their own department in Konoha.
Their ninjas are basically mission ninjas, clan guard ninjas, and hold posts in various intelligence groups.
If that's the case, they might not be opposed to the idea of Hyuga members joining the security department.
But all of this still requires further understanding. If it can be done, Kaito would have opened a new situation for the security department.
"Nara Yaneko is indeed Yaneko. If possible, I'll definitely try to get her to help me in the future."
After figuring all these out, Kaito was in high spirits, and he was genuinely grateful for Nara Yaneko's reminder.
This girl wasn't mentioned in the original work, but this doesn't mean she isn't capable!
In a large Konoha with over a hundred thousand people, how could everyone be underestimated?
Moreover, the original story revolves around Naruto and the others, and everyone else naturally turns into extras.
But if the story happened to them, their own shining points cannot be denied.
Just like Nara Yaneko, just like Kaito himself...
...
"These bastards!"
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the documents in his hands and finally couldn't help but throw them away in anger.
He was feeling very uncomfortable now, as all the documents and information he had seen recently were nothing but bad news!
Because of the Danzo incident, he was forced to make concessions, causing his influence in various departments to plummet.
Although such occurrences were not beyond their expectations, the daily personnel shifts submitted by various departments made him feel unbearably uncomfortable.
The crux of it is that such personnel shifts must be signed off by him to proceed, and he was obliged to sign them!
Now, he truly felt a stifling frustration in his chest that couldn't be released, all because of two individuals.
"Uchiha Itachi... Uchiha Kaito!"
The two people Hiruzen Sarutobi now loathed the most, were these two.
If it weren't for that damned Uchiha Itachi, how could Danzo possibly have been pinned to the pillar of shame, his reputation beyond reversal!
It was this guy who provided the erroneous intelligence, pointed the finger at the Uchiha rebellion, and solemnly swore that he would complete the mission.
And what's the result?
There are three more pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan in the Uchiha clan other than his, the Uchihas have intentions but they never act!
He believed in Itachi's lies, as did Danzo, and the outcome was that he didn't complete the mission at all, instead, he and Danzo suffered all the calamities.
Danzo even died so horribly, his name tarnished, all this was caused by that damned Uchiha Itachi!
And for Uchiha Kaito, Hiruzen Sarutobi also harbored considerable anger.
Although this rage is much less compared to his hatred for Uchiha Itachi, Kaito's actions were also intolerable to Sarutobi.
He killed Danzo with his own hands, took away so much from him, and even because of him, his losses this time were so massive.
Even if Hiruzen clearly understood there was nothing wrong with what Kaito did, understanding did not mean acceptance.
Especially when this guy completely disregarded him, in the face of his explicit request to stop, he cruelly dismembered Danzo in front of him.
How could Hiruzen not loathe and despise such a cruel and insubordinate person?
"And this guy's skills are extraordinary, he has reached such a level at such a young age, if not controlled and suppressed, there might be another person like that."
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe and took a quiet puff, while the image of that once haughty figure appeared in his mind.
That figure truly left an indelible impression on him. His vigilance towards the Uchihas was not only inherited from the Second Hokage's will.
There was also the fact that he genuinely feared he could not control the Uchihas, could not resist their despair-inducing power!
Even though he knew that it was hard for the Uchihas to gain those powers, preventing troubles before they occur was an essential quality of a Hokage.
For the sake of keeping Konoha free from the threat of those Uchiha madmen, that's why he did so much, why he allowed Danzo to be so harsh on the Uchihas.
And now, he had seen the power of the Uchihas, even though from certain perspectives, it could be seen as him reaping the bitter fruit of his own making, he had no regrets.
"For Konoha's sake, I have to do some things. The Uchiha issue is becoming an increasingly troublesome variable, I need to think carefully about this."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took another deep puff of his pipe, the Hokage's office was now full of smoke, but he didn't care about these details.
He gently shook his head, picked up the documents, and began to read again.
The work of a Hokage is indeed strenuous, especially when Hiruzen Sarutobi only trusts his own judgement, he tends to handle most things personally.
While this has ramped up his work stress, he is unwavering. He believes that this is what a qualified Hokage should do.
However, while engrossed in his reading, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt his blood pressure rising again!
Because in this new report, it recorded the current discussions within Konoha regarding the Police Force, particularly how the Police Force dealt with those ninjas who had transgressed.
"This... this guy actually..."
Hiruzen remembered Kaito stating that he needed to recruit anyone in Konoha willing to join the Police Force, thus he needed the right to expand the Police Force.
Hiruzen was extremely unwilling about this, he knew exactly how much power the Police Force had.
But the circumstances at that time were pressing, and he had no choice but to compromise.
In addition, he was thinking to himself, the Uchiha group had not managed well before, would they suddenly turn things around with a younger person in charge?
Yet the reality was that this young man had given him a resounding slap in the face; the young man did indeed bring change to the Police Force!
The worst part was that he couldn't smear or publicize how the Police Force and the Uchiha were doing anymore, at least for now he absolutely couldn't do that.
"This kid is more troublesome than I imagined, I absolutely cannot let this situation continue!"
