_______________

Danzo grumbled internally about Rokuro for a moment.

Then, he signaled for Rokuro to sit down and said,

"Alright, what the Hokage has decided cannot be changed. If you go and curse the Hokage, it will only make Konoha a laughingstock in the eyes of the Cloud ninja!"

Rokuro sat down and said indignantly,

"Lord Danzo, I think you should compete for the position of Hokage. When I become stronger, I'll help you wipe out the Cloud Village!"

Danzo smiled.

"Good lad, you have ambition. You should strive toward that goal. I need to think of a way to save the Hyūga Clan Leader. You go back home and train for now. Don't go out during this time; I'm afraid those Cloud ninjas might come looking for trouble with you too!"

Upon hearing this, Rokuro stood up and said,

"Then, Lord Danzo, I'll go back and train!"

"Go on!"

Danzo's goal had been achieved.

Watching Rokuro walk out, he smiled faintly.

To change one person's opinion of another wasn't actually that difficult.

As long as one found the opportunity.

One just had to speak ill of that person more often.

Once or twice might not work.

But after hearing it enough times, it would definitely have an effect.

Right now, he was constantly reinforcing Rokuro's dissatisfaction with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Over time.

It would become impossible for Rokuro to trust Hiruzen.

Thinking about this.

Danzo's mood improved slightly.

Hiruzen, that idiot. To actually bow down to the Cloud ninja... what a piece of useless trash.

Inside the Training Room.

Rokuro returned.

The anger he had shown earlier vanished instantly, and he went back to training as if nothing had happened.

He couldn't be bothered to care about the Hyūga family's affairs; it had nothing to do with him.

However.

He really didn't plan on going out for the next couple of days.

The Cloud ninja.

They definitely held a grudge against him.

To avoid them coming to find trouble, he absolutely would not go out.

If there were missions that required going out.

He would let his Shadow Clone handle them.

He would hide in the underground base; he didn't believe the Cloud ninja could find him there.

While Rokuro was hiding.

Inside the Hyūga clan, just like in the original plot, Hizashi Hyūga died in place of Hiashi Hyūga. This outcome left the people of Konoha feeling very disillusioned.

Actually, everyone knew clearly.

Hizashi Hyūga didn't actually have to die.

However.

Inside Konoha Village.

Overly powerful clans were not allowed to exist.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking for an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Hyūga clan.

As for saying it was for peace?

How many people could actually believe that?

What were ninjas? Ninjas appeared because of war.

For ninjas, peace meant being stripped of their way of life.

Although ninjas looked forward to peace, no one feared war.

Regarding this incident.

From a ninja's perspective, retaliation was a must.

But the Hokage actually compromised, which was something most people hadn't expected.

Most importantly.

The majority of the small and medium-sized clans actually supported the Hokage.

This proved that the Hyūga clan was too powerful, and the smaller clans all wanted to weaken them.

Hizashi Hyūga.

He was the one with the best chance of reaching Kage-level strength.

With his death.

The Hyūga clan lost a significant amount of combat power.

Regardless of what everyone thought, Hizashi's death was already a foregone conclusion.

After Hizashi's body was placed before the Cloud ninja, they realized that if they kept making a scene, they might die there. So, they decisively left Konoha.

Once they left.

The matter with the Cloud Village.

Was considered thoroughly concluded.

But the consequences of this event didn't end so easily.

As the Uchiha Clan, which was stronger than the Hyūga Clan within Konoha, saw the Hokage's suppression of the Hyūga, dark undercurrents began to surge.

They were afraid that one day.

The Hokage would take their clansmen, just like the Hyūga, and send them out to die.

The atmosphere in the village became serious.

In the shadows.

Rumors were circulating about the Hokage.

News that he was going to make a move against the Uchiha Clan spread.

Under these circumstances.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had to pay a heavy price to suppress the idle gossip in the village.

Of course.

He was able to suppress it.

Because the villagers were already dissatisfied with the Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha were too arrogant; they simply couldn't blend into the village.

The world was temporarily at peace.

But Konoha Village was not peaceful.

However, none of this had anything to do with Kanda Rokuro.

Having experienced the incident with the Cloud ninja, he understood the importance of strength even more clearly.

He holed up in the underground base.

Training to improve his strength.

If there were missions that required going out and were boring, he let his Shadow Clone do them.

If the missions were somewhat normal, he would have his Shadow Clone stay and train while he went out to do them himself, strolling around Konoha at the same time. It was a way to break the monotony of training and prevent the System from getting too bored and issuing destruction-type quests.

After all, he could endure bitter cultivation without going out.

But the System absolutely couldn't; if he stayed in the base all the time, it would definitely try to cause trouble.
