The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan shone brightly.
A powerful Sharingan naturally had a bloodline suppression over a weaker Sharingan.
The battle between the two pillars and Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan was like a fight between dinosaurs.
Under the overwhelming pressure of two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha clan was completely destroyed.
After all, the Mangekyō of the Uchiha clan had become almost a legend after such a long time without war.
Only Uchiha Fugaku, the sixth clan head, pushed the clan toward battle for the sake of his two sons.
Because he used the Mangekyō Sharingan to stage a coup, he triggered the Fourth Great Ninja War and sacrificed the Uchiha clan in the name of peace.
If Uchiha Tajima, the patriarch from the Warring States era, knew that one of his descendants would do such a thing, he would probably tear him into pieces.
Unfortunately, Naruto couldn't explain these things to Hyuga Hiashi.
So he said something simple and direct.
"What if Sarutobi Hiruzen hired those rebels?"
Hiashi frowned.
"You mean those mercenaries made up of S-rank missing-nin that appeared in recent years? Could Sarutobi Hiruzen really do that? That's impossible."
After all, the Uchiha clan was an important combat power of Konoha. Destroying them would be like cutting off one's own arm.
Naruto looked at Hiashi and smiled.
"That's because you trust the authorities. If you suddenly hear that the Uchiha clan was wiped out in one night…"
"You would only fear the hidden power of Sarutobi Hiruzen, wouldn't you?"
Hiashi was stunned.
As he thought about Naruto's words, a chill ran down his spine.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly had the power to destroy the Uchiha clan, then the other clans would naturally choose to stay silent.
But the next day, when they heard that the Uchiha clan had been destroyed, every clan head would be shocked by the terrifying strength behind Hiruzen.
After all, the unknown is always the most frightening thing.
If even the Uchiha clan could be wiped out so easily… then the Hyuga clan might also be in danger one day.
Thinking of this, cold sweat appeared on Hiashi's back.
At the same time, he felt admiration for the mysterious "advisor" behind Naruto.
He quickly turned to Naruto.
"So what should we do? Help the Uchiha unite against the Sarutobi clan?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"No. We wait for the right opportunity."
Hiashi was surprised.
"The right opportunity?"
"Of course. You don't want the Uchiha to become Hokage, do you?"
Naruto looked at him calmly.
"Although Sarutobi Hiruzen isn't the best leader, the current leaders of the Uchiha clan also have problems. Most of them are hawks who love war."
"If they really become Hokage, the Fourth Great Ninja War might truly begin."
"Do you think the ninja from other villages are any better than Konoha's?"
"Without the overwhelming power of Senju Hashirama, the God of Shinobi, even a victory would only be temporary."
After all, ninja wars were often driven by countries, not just ninja villages.
Sometimes ninja even fought alongside regular armies.
The reason Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha didn't dominate the entire ninja world was because of how the ninja village system worked.
If your village was strong, merchants and nobles from other countries would come to hire ninja from your village.
If you wanted to rule the ninja world, you would either need to unite with the Land of Fire and destroy the other four great powers…
Or even if you destroyed their villages, the daimyō would simply spend money to build new ones.
Behind every ninja war was the same reason:
population pressure, economic recovery, and the ambitions of nobles and daimyō to expand their lands.
Without their own ninja villages, they would fear someone stabbing them with a kunai while they slept.
So Naruto could not allow those war-hungry people to control Konoha.
Hiashi looked at Naruto, confused.
"Then what should we do?"
A spark flashed in Naruto's eyes, and he smiled.
"We wait until Sarutobi Hiruzen destroys the Konoha garrison…"
"Then we unite with the other ninja clans and step in to protect the civilians and the remaining members of the Uchiha clan."
Hiashi's eyes lit up.
What a plan!
Not only would it eliminate the war-hungry extremists of the Uchiha clan…
It would also allow them to save the next generation of Uchiha and earn their gratitude.
Most importantly, it would place all the blame on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If it became known that the massacre was ordered by him, his position as Hokage might collapse completely.
Thinking of this, Hiashi suddenly slammed the table with excitement.
"Excellent!"
Naruto, sitting across from him, was startled.
He felt slightly uncomfortable and stood up.
"I expect it will still take some time before Hiruzen takes action. During that time, you should secretly contact the heads of the other clans."
"This matter cannot be handled by the Hyuga clan alone."
After all, Obito's strength was still terrifying.
His almost unsolvable Kamui, combined with the White Zetsu, Wood Style, and his abilities, could easily overwhelm even Hyuga clan jōnin.
"Don't worry. I understand," Hiashi nodded.
Then, as if remembering something, he added:
"Hinata will inherit the Hyuga clan in the future."
"You should give up that idea."
Naruto: "…@#%@!"
