After the irrelevant personnel left, Hiashi's composure could no longer be maintained.
His face showed rare anger and resentment, and his Byakugan activated directly, staring intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, when you tried to force me to die back then, did you never imagine this day would come?"
Once hatred forms, it can never be eliminated.
The root of powerlessness is insufficient ability. Hiashi had never forgotten Hizashi's back as he followed Hiruzen Sarutobi away after a Gentle Fist strike towards him.
Especially the look in Hizashi's eyes when he turned back to look at him after leaving.
That was a look Hizashi had never shown since being branded with the Caged Bird seal.
Only then did Hiashi realize that Hizashi had never changed; only he himself had changed. Unfortunately, by the time he understood, it was already too late.
Hiashi looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi now, much older than before, his figure no longer as upright. Most importantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was no longer the Hokage, and he had become an Advisor of Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi faced Hiashi's questioning with little emotional fluctuation. Given the circumstances back then, it was the best choice.
"Hiashi, I apologize for what happened back then, but now, as an Advisor of Konoha, you should know that everything I did was for Konoha!"
For Konoha?
For Konoha!
It was because of this ridiculous reason that he, back then, couldn't even refute it.
Hiashi was now furious, not only his temples but also the veins in his neck began to bulge. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you are no longer the Hokage. Now, I want to ask you to die, for Konoha!"
Immediately, Hiashi lunged forward and began to attack Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi's strength was unquestionable; any single blow in close combat could seal an enemy's Chakra points.
There was no technique that Hyuga Neji knew in the original story that Hiashi didn't know, and he was even more powerful.
However, no matter how fiercely Hiashi attacked, even if his Gentle Fist Art Eight Trigrams Palms was used impeccably, he could not cause any substantial damage to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi could cut off all the branches of the Divine Tree with a single spin of his staff.
Even with the Gentle Fist's enhancement to Hiashi's taijutsu, he still couldn't surpass Hiruzen Sarutobi, who handled Hiashi's attacks with ease.
However, he also didn't take the opportunity to counterattack Hiashi, primarily focusing on defense.
While dealing with Hiashi's attacks, Hiruzen Sarutobi even had the leisure to chat.
"Hiashi, don't be consumed by hatred. You are merely being used by Uchiha Tomoki. Are you truly willing to be used like this?"
Hiashi on the opposite side did not answer, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. He had no time to stop and answer questions.
However, this also made Hiashi clearly understand the gap between himself and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He couldn't even defeat an old and frail Hiruzen Sarutobi. It seemed his previous idea of personally avenging Hizashi was doomed to fail.
After a clash of fists, Hiashi took a step back, and Hiruzen Sarutobi also stopped, not pursuing.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you who constantly speak of believing in the power of bonds, hatred? You who have no bonds understand nothing at all!"
Hiashi paused slightly, recalling Yuuki's indescribable strength in his perception and his unfathomable depth, and said coldly.
"The Hokage's title is not something you can casually utter, Hiruzen Sarutobi. As for being used? I don't think so. Everything I do is for Konoha!"
Then Hiashi waved his hand and said.
"Attack together!"
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer hesitated, quickly formed hand signs, and then pressed into the void.
A burly figure appeared in the arena.
"Hiruzen, are the Hyuga Clan the enemies this time? Aren't they people of your Konoha?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer the question but said directly.
"Enma, transform!"
Before Hiashi and the other Hyuga Clan Ninja could surround him, Enma transformed into a staff and was grasped by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
.....
While Yuuki was still quietly waiting for the results outside the Council Hall.
Experimental building.
He wondered if fate was on his side.
Sasori felt unusually smooth today. After spending yesterday wandering around the experimental building and debugging all the hidden small devices.
Throughout today, he had intercepted an extraordinary amount of important information.
To confirm the news, Sasori uncharacteristically left the experimental building and took a walk on the street, finding that the situation was no different from what he had overheard.
And he also obtained a lot of other important information.
Those who defy Heaven's will will suffer for it.
How could such a heaven-sent opportunity be missed?
