Chapter 14: I Have Plenty of People at My Disposal

Hinata Hizashi was questioned by the Third Hokage, but he insisted that the attacker must be Qing from Kirigakure.

Why the Byakugan didn't work was vague and evasive.

The Third Hokage didn't pursue the inside story, after all, it wasn't the first time Kirigakure attacked.

He just asked Hizashi to strengthen the defense and there wouldn't be a next time.

Because the Third Hokage was busy negotiating with Kumogakure recently to sign a peace agreement.

After the back and forth, the Third Hokage was also worried and had no time to care about this matter.

After returning to the clan and discussing with Hiashi, Hizashi really came to the Uchiha clan at night to meet Fugaku.

"Captain Fugaku, the guard team is short of some manpower in the deployment."

"Do you think you can recall some of your suspended Uchiha."

Fugaku waved his hand: "My clansmen are not very obedient. It's not easy to let them go back now."

"Besides, it's not so easy to mobilize this clan."

Fugaku clearly didn't want to wade into this muddy water anymore.

Hizashi said with a wry smile: "Captain Fugaku, now I understand the grievances that your guard team usually suffers. I am now complained by the clan members every day. I am just doing my job and I will be questioned."

"Captain Fugaku, you really have to help with this matter, otherwise we Hyuga will not be able to sit firmly in this guard team."

Fugaku took a sip of tea: "Hizashi, you don't understand, the reason why you are all questioned is because of the comparison."

"Comparison?" Hizashi asked in confusion.

"That's right, because you are not as good as our Uchiha, so the villagers are dissatisfied with you."

Hizashi fell into thought.

I have to say that what Fugaku said makes sense. As the first ninja clan in the ninja world, Uchiha is of course the boss and I am the second.

No matter how your background is, you should be arrested and imprisoned.

The Hyuga family is not bad in terms of ability, but the identity of the Hyuga branch family is awkward, and they are always looking at the face of the main family.

And everyone knows what kind of people the main family is.

So the branch family is always timid in doing things.

Now, the outer patrol team of the security team was attacked and killed outside Konoha Village.

The main family was furious and asked the branch family to solve this problem no matter what.

Although Hizashi also thought of the strategy of the two branches together, the branch family only had so many people.

If the patrol team added people, the security team would have fewer people.

So Hizashi came to Fugaku for help.

"I don't have any good ideas." Fugaku refused.

Hizashi was a little disappointed just now, but Fugaku changed the subject.

"But you can ask Xia Mu, he has a lot of tricks."

"Oh?" Hizashi glanced at Fugaku, and Fugaku had a poker face as usual.

Hizashi suspected that Fugaku had some ideas, but it was difficult to say with his identity, so he could only say it through Xia Mu's mouth.

"Okay, where is the deputy clan leader Xia Mu? I'll go visit him."

Fugaku stood up and said, "We have cooperated on the battlefield before, so there is no need to be so formal. I will call him over. You wait here for a moment."

As he said that, Fugaku stood up and left the meeting room. Just after he walked out of the meeting room, Xia Mu came in.

As expected, when Hizashi saw Xia Mu coming in immediately, he was more certain of his inner thoughts.

Xia Mu came in very enthusiastically: "Hizashi, right? I am Uchiha Xia Mu. I have heard of your reputation a long time ago. I will definitely get closer to you when I have time in the future."

He still has a good impression of Hyuga Hizashi. Although Hizashi is loyal, he can't jump out of the circle of this era after all.

Being able to die in place of his brother is something that ordinary people can't do.

And he is also Neji's father. Among ordinary people, Neji's talent is already rare.

If there is a chance, getting closer is good.

And the Third Ninja World War has just ended, and the kidnapping of Hinata in Kumogakure has not happened yet.

Xia Mu wanted to help Hizashi, it would be a pity if he died like this.

Hizashi was a little strange about Xia Mu's enthusiasm, but he didn't want to hit a smiling person.

He was also happy to see Xia Mu being so easy to talk to.

"You are too polite, Deputy Clan Leader Xia Mu. I can't bear the title of Lord."

"Haha, then let's not be polite. You can call me Xia Mu, and I will call you Hizashi."

Hizashi couldn't help laughing. Xia Mu was really good at taking advantage of others, but he was also a very kind person, so he agreed.

Then Hizashi repeated what he said to Fugaku to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu really had a plan in mind: "Hizashi, this matter is very simple, since the villagers have a comparison."

"Then you can pull one, it will definitely be worse than what you do, just fill it in as cannon fodder."

Definitely worse than what we Hyuga did? Hizashi thought about it in his mind, but he couldn't think of which ninja clan was suitable.

"I didn't think of which ninja clan was suitable at this time." Hizashi shook his head.

Xia Mu saw it and just said it clearly:

"You can ask Danzo for people. Danzo has always wanted to put people in the security team."

Hiashi was shocked. Aren't Danzo's people the Root?

"How can that be possible? How can those guys in the Root who kill people like crazy do this?"

"Oh! That's right... it's better to kill people like crazy."

Xia Mu's expression was playful: "It means that people who kill people like crazy are responsible for managing public security, so you can free up your hands to go to the patrol team."

"Hmm..." Hiashi reacted.

No matter how many people the Root kills, they can't kill civilians.

For people like Danzo, if they have the chance to seize power, they will definitely not let go.

And whether the Root can maintain public order is obvious...

Hinata and Danzo don't get along anyway.

Hizashi quickly left the Uchiha clan and returned to the clan to discuss with his brother, Hyuga Hiashi.

Hiashi was also impressed by this idea.

He patted Hizashi's shoulder and said, "This Uchiha Natsuki is interesting. Maybe Fugaku sent him out to negotiate with you just to train him."

"The reason why we can enter the guard team this time is because Natsuki and Fugaku suggested it. You should get closer to him in the future. Maybe there will be other places for cooperation in the future."

Hizashi nodded.

Then he quickly handed a visiting card to Shimura Danzo.

Everyone knows about Danzo's Root, but Danzo usually doesn't let outsiders go there.

Guests are always received in the Shimura clan.

Danzo was also a little surprised when Hizashi went to deliver the visiting card this time.

Because the Hyuga clan has always been closed and rarely communicates with outsiders.

They don't have any personal relationship in private.

But Hizashi is the head of the Hyuga branch family after all, and Danzo can't just ignore this face.

So he quickly met Hyuga Hizashi.

Hizashi came in and exchanged a few words before getting straight to the point:

"Elder Danzo, you know that our Hyuga family has recently taken over many tasks of the Uchiha Guard."

"Well..."

"But yesterday the patrol team outside Konoha was attacked, and I found that our Hyuga clan was short of personnel. I heard that the root has enough personnel, so I want to borrow some people from Danzo to supplement the guard. I don't know..."

"Oh?..." Danzo was happy in his heart. He has always wanted to join the guard, and the third generation Hokage has always suppressed him.

Now Hizashi has come to him for help, so he can't be blamed for this, right?

Humph, a bunch of trash, they can't even do a good job of patrolling.

"No problem, Hizashi. I have plenty of people in the Root. How many do you want to borrow?"

Hizashi thought for a while: "How about thirty people? Lord Danzo, we have to make it clear first. Your people have to obey my command when they join the guard. Otherwise, Fugaku will not agree."

Danzo naturally agreed: "No problem, since they are all borrowed to you, they will definitely obey your orders."

The two quickly reached an agreement, and Hizashi said goodbye and left.

Danzo looked at Hizashi's back and sneered: "When my people from the Root go in, it will not be up to you."

Hizashi's white eyes can be seen. Danzo looked at him from behind, and Hizashi also snorted in his heart: "You will definitely take this thunder!"
