Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Novel
Chapter 798 Hyuga Kuroto is a Traitor?“I hereby request Hokage-sama to conduct an investigation.” Said Elder Aoyama, bowing to Hiruzen.
After hearing Elder Aoyama’s words, the atmosphere in the Conference Room becextremely delicate.
Everyone present in the Conference Hall turned their heads and looked at Kuroto–who was accused of being a traitor by Mizuki.
‘This is interesting… at least, coming here so early in the morning wouldn’t be a waste.’ Thought Tsunade with a chuckle.
None of the people present at the conference expected that this meeting be organized by the Hyuga Clan to question a member of their branch family. Realizing the absurdity of the situation, everyone couldn’t help but remember the rumors circulating in the village a few days back. According to the rumors, the branch family of the Hyuga Clan seems to have started resisting the main family of the Hyuga Clan, and it seems that Hyuga Kuroto is leading the resistance.
No one paid much attention to those rumors at that time. After all, the members of the branch family of the Hyuga Clan are marked with the ‘Caged Bird’ cursed seal, In the face of that seal, any form of resistance is futile, only a fool would try to fight back.
And now that everyone has witnessed such an absurd scene before them, they can’t help but realize that it wasn’t a rumor. The conflict seems to have already reached an intolerable level that the main family of the Hyuga Clan is trying to involve the Hokage faction as well as other clans in it.
Although Elder Aoyama said about believing Kuroto to not be the traitor, everyone seemed to realize that that’s just a façade to maintain his image and the image of the Hyuga Clan in front of the Patriarchs of other Shinobi Clans.
As for the question of whether Hyuga Kuroto is really a traitor or not?
Well, that’s hard to say, just as Elder Hyuga Aoyama stated earlier, Kuroto did have a connection with Orochimaru in the past. But this doesn’t mean that he is a traitor either. It’s entirely possible that this is just an accusation to demean him and use the power of the Hokage faction to suppress him and the branch family since they are unable to control him on their own.Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
Along with other Patriarchs, Uchiha Fugaku also saw the crux of the matter and his mind started to work on how to use this opportunity for the benefit of the Uchiha Clan.
Honestly speaking, the struggle within the Hyuga Clan has nothing to do with him and the Uchiha Clan. To Fugaku, what’s important is the position of the Principal of Ninja Academy.
If Hyuga Kuroto is really the traitor, and he loses his position, then the candidate who will be promoted to the principal’s position is Shisui–the current vice-principal.
Shisui as the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, Itachi as the future Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, and him as the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, together the Uchiha Clan will gain three seats in the Konoha Council which will further increase the status and influence of the Uchiha Clan.
And once the Uchiha Clan gains three seats in the Konoha Council, they’ll just need to win over ssmall shinobi clans as well as gain the support of scommoner shinobis and the position of Konoha’s GodaHokage will be in their hands.
As this plan took form in his mind, Fugaku’s lips arched in a smile and he looked forward to Hyuga Aoyama and Mizuki’s performance.
Elder Aoyama observed everyone’s expression, especially SandaHokage and the Uchiha Patriarch’s expression. And he wasn’t surprised upon noting the smirk on Fugaku’s face.
Elder Aoyama naturally understands that if Kuroto loses his position, then the one likely to inherit that position is Uchiha Shisui–the current vice-principal. However, that will only happen if SandaHokage gives that position to Uchiha Shisui, which is quite unlikely. And if you consider the fact that the Hyuga Clan has sacrificed one of the outstanding members of their clan for the safety of the village, they will need to be rewarded.
Regardless of which aspect Sandaime-sama takes into account, Elder Aoyama personally believes that the Hyuga Clan will be able to keep the position of the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy.
Feeling that he had the situation in his grasp, Elder Aoyama smirked, and looked at Kuroto, waiting for him to speak up in his defense.
Mizuki spoke, “Hyuga Kuroto-sama, don’t you have anything to explain? Or is it that you accept that you are a traitor?”
Mizuki knows that this one-sided accusation wouldn’t be enough to convict Kuroto, but it doesn’t matter, as long as he is suspected, it will be difficult for him to keep his position.
Directed by Mizuki’s question, the attention of all the people present in the meeting turned towards Kuroto, waiting for the young Hyuga to speak.
Faced with Mizuki’s aggressive question, mockery of Elder Aoyama, as well as gazes filled with doubt, and wariness, Kuroto yawned lazily and muttered helplessly, “Man, I am too exhausted for this pointless stuff.”
Having continuously worked on optimizing the Yin-seal for the past few days and nights, Kuroto was really exhausted. After thinking for a while, Kuroto changed his seating position, while leaning in a comfortable position, he spoke in a casual tone, “I don’t really need to explain anything, it’s obvious that you are trying to frme on a false accusation.”
“What makes you think that this explanation of yours will satisfy anyone?” Said Mizuki.
Kuroto shrugged, “The reason is very simple if you really did noticein such a situation, it would have been impossible for you to stand here and accuse me.”
Mizuki smiled contemptuously, and said, “Do you think that the likes of you can buy my loyalty? I can’t even think about betraying Konoha!”
“Buy you?” said Kuroto with a chuckle, and shook his head as he explained, “I am afraid you misunderstood my words. When I said, ‘It would have been impossible for you to be standing here and accusing me,’ I didn’t mean that I would buy your loyalty, instead, I mean that if you saw or overheardwith that man, you would be dead. By now, even your body would have disappeared.”
Mizuki was taken aback by Kuroto’s words, he didn’t expect that Kuroto would dare to speak so arrogantly in the presence of the Council, and said in an annoyed tone, “Hyuga Kuroto, your acting is meaningless. I think you should, either give a clear explanation that would prove your innocence or if you can’t you should accept that you are indeed a traitor. If you are willing–…”
Kuroto ignored Mizuki’s clamoring, instead, he glanced at Elder Aoyama and sighed, ‘Idiots, they really don’t understand why I am part of the council. Sigh, I guess really have to give them an explanation.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKuroto obviously saw through everyone’s thoughts. Honestly, Kuroto doesn’t give a damn about the position of the Principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy, I mean just think about it, he is the leader of one of the most feared organizations in the Shinobi World, and also controls two of the five great shinobi Villages, why would he care about the position of Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy? But even if that’s the case, as long as Kuroto doesn’t want to give up that position, no one in the entire shinobi world can remove him from this position, not Mizuki, not Uchiha Patriarch, not Konoha’s Hokage, not Rokudo Sennin, and definitely not Hyuga Aoyama or Mizuki.
With this in his mind, Kuroto interrupted Mizuki as he lightly spoke to no one in particular, “I want to hear the truth.”
Even though his words weren’t directed towards anyone in particular, a person stood up and spoke, “Very well Kuroto-san!”
This was none other than the strongest shinobi on the side of the five great shinobi villages. That’s right, as soon as Kuroto’s words fell, Shisui stood up from his seat as his pupils changed into three tomoe Sharingan and soon turned into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The moment Shisui stood up and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, the atmosphere of the Conference hall changed.
Looking at the pair of eyes, everyone took a deep breath, “Mangekyou Sharingan!”
No one expected Uchiha Shisui to directly activate Mangekyou Sharingan because of Kuroto’s casual words.
Shisui ignored everyone’s shock and walked towards Mizuki.
Seeing Uchiha Shisui approaching him with his Mangekyou Sharingan activated, all the arrogance on Mizuki’s face disappeared, and his body started to shiver as he tried to retreat backward, “No… don’t… why… why are you…?!”
