However, in the last war with Kumogakure.
Genba not only saved Hiashi.
Moreover, the actions of the three generations of factions went too far.
This greatly disappointed the Hyuga clan.
That's why they gradually became on good terms with the Uchiha clan.
The families of Ino, Deer, and Butterfly also began to distance themselves from the power of the third generation.
Hiashi spoke first, saying, "Orochimaru has been captured for over three months, and the Hokage doesn't seem to intend to punish his prized student. He probably wants time to pass and for everyone to let the matter fade away!"
Since he was able to become the leader of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi was certainly not a fool, and of course he could see through the trickery involved.
But if this is truly the case for the third generation...
This will inevitably discourage everyone.
Hiashi continued, still questioning, "Clan Chief Fugaku, the rogue ninja Orochimaru... was he really captured by Genba himself?"
Upon hearing the news that Genba had captured Orochimaru and brought him back to Konoha.
The Japanese team was shocked for a long time.
Orochimaru is one of the Legendary Sannin.
Does Uchiha Genba really have that kind of strength?
Japanese football predictions.
Could it be that Yugito Futani, who is in the same industry, helped them?
Or perhaps Genba discovered Orochimaru's hiding place, then notified Fugaku, who led the elite Uchiha fighters to capture Orochimaru.
Countless thoughts flashed through Nisashi's mind.
But Fugaku casually remarked, "It was Genba's doing all by himself!"
"What!" His eyes widened in disbelief, and then he gave a wry smile.
A peerless genius has emerged from the Uchiha clan.
Hiashi vaguely remembered that Hyuga Nami from the clan seemed to be a member of the same squad as Genba.
You can use her to get closer to her!
The two also encountered Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and others, and walked together toward the Hokage's office building.
Along the way.
The crowd saw a man leaning on a cane, with half of his body wrapped in bandages. It was Danzo, who had been reinstated and was now the leader of Root again!
The group was already at odds with each other, and without even saying hello, they ignored Danzo and walked into the meeting room.
This behavior.
This also caused a cold glint to flash in Danzo's eyes.
He gripped his cane tightly!
Those who underestimate us will pay the price!
Inside the main conference room of the Hokage's office building.
The senior executives took their seats one after another.
After a while.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in a divine robe, also entered and took his seat in the main hall.
Danzo is to his left.
The one on the right is Mitokado.
Other important family members include Sarutobi, Shimura, and Mitomon.
On the other side were the heads of various clans, such as the Uchiha, seemingly forming a clear-cut boundary.
now.
The Third Hokage took the pipe out of his mouth, then tapped the conference table and said, "Today's meeting has a simple topic: to discuss the fate of Orochimaru. Everyone, please feel free to express your opinions!"
The Third Hokage first looked at Danzo beside him and said, "Danzo, as the leader of Root in Konoha, tell me how to deal with Orochimaru!"
Danzo glanced around at everyone, and when he saw Fugaku, a barely perceptible look of disgust flashed across his face. Then he slowly said:
Orochimaru was one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and made outstanding contributions in the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars.
"I think we can consider punishing Orochimaru appropriately, or even let him make amends for his past mistakes!"
Danzo was cunning; he directly mentioned Orochimaru's contributions to Konoha, but remained silent about the harm he had caused.
Before attending the meeting.
The Konoha leadership, headed by the Third Hokage, discussed how to protect Orochimaru!
The third generation did not want to execute their prized disciple.
Another senior advisor, Mito Kazumi, added:
"I think Danzo makes a good point. Konoha is facing pressure from all sides right now. If we can get Orochimaru to repent, Konoha will gain another top-tier fighter. That's the right thing to do!"
The third generation picked up the pipe from the table, took a deep, uninhibited drag, and said, "What do you think?"
It's obvious they're questioning clan leaders like Fugaku!
This time, it was Nisashi who spoke first. He said:
"Lord Hokage, we Hyuga have obtained information that Orochimaru used our clansmen to research the Byakugan's genes, cells, and other information. This is an insult and a desecration to us Hyuga. I believe that only by executing Orochimaru can we avenge the deaths of our clansmen!"
Shikaku, who was sitting next to him, also said:
"Lord Hokage, merits and demerits cannot be compared, otherwise order will be thrown into chaos. My Nara clan requests that Orochimaru be severely punished!"
Choza Akimichi, standing next to him, scratched his head, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "I don't really understand grand principles, but I do know that debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives, hehe!"
The clan chiefs on the opposite side were in complete agreement.
That is to execute Orochimaru.
Seeing that an argument had broken out in the room, the Third Hokage tapped the table with his pipe, scattering ash, and said in a cold voice, "Quiet!"
"Since we have different conclusions on this matter, let's wait until we reach a consensus and then convene another meeting to discuss it. Meeting adjourned!" The third generation once again used the tactic of stalling!
"Lord Hokage, this matter has been dragged on for three months. I think we can improve the efficiency!" Seeing the Third Hokage's irresponsibility, Fugaku finally couldn't help but interrupt the Third Hokage who was about to leave.
A chill ran through the third generation's heart.
If it weren't for Uchiha Genba.
Orochimaru would never be captured and brought back to Konoha.
He now hates the Uchiha clan to the core!
The Third Hokage said indifferently, "Orochimaru still possesses a great deal of important information and experimental data. We need to obtain it before we can deal with him properly!"
Upon hearing these high-sounding words, Fugaku shook his head and said, "Third Hokage, are you trying to protect your beloved disciple Orochimaru?"
"hiss!"
Upon hearing Fugaku's words, some of the high-ranking officials present gasped in shock.
The Third Hokage was the Kage of Konoha.
But Fugaku dared to defy him.
Extremely arrogant!
"How dare you!" Danzo slammed his hand on the table, angrily rebuking Fugaku!
At this moment, Fugaku also stood up without fear, seemingly ready to tear off the mask of civility, and said:
"The Kage of Konoha should represent the collective will and interests of all ninjas and villagers. Orochimaru was captured and brought back to Konoha by our clan's genius, Uchiha Genba, at the risk of his life, and yet you have not dealt with Orochimaru. Do you have any respect for the villagers who died?"
His words were powerful and resounding, earning the respect of the surrounding clan leaders.
This is the courage to confront power directly.
A fearless spirit.
Who wouldn't admire him!
The third generation's eyes gradually darkened. Just as he was about to speak, a series of loud noises came from the corridor outside the conference room!
At that moment, an ANBU ninja walked in with a solemn expression, whispered something in the Third Hokage's ear, and the latter's expression suddenly changed.
The Third Hokage quickly arrived at the Hokage's office building.
Before me was a dense, dark mass of villagers!
Villagers were seen holding banners and signs, shouting at the top of their lungs:
"I beg the Hokage to execute the rogue ninja Orochimaru!"
"I beg the Hokage to execute the rogue ninja Orochimaru!"
"I beg the Hokage to execute the rogue ninja Orochimaru!"
Their faces were filled with righteous indignation, as if they wished they could devour Orochimaru alive.
After all, many of the villagers' relatives and friends died directly or indirectly at Orochimaru's hands.
Furthermore, the fact that the Konoha leadership has been slow to deal with Orochimaru has also infuriated the villagers!
"Quiet down, everyone!" The Third Hokage waved his hands, signaling the villagers to be quiet. His voice, amplified by the presence of chakra, was clearly audible.
The villagers heard this.
It also quieted down.
Suddenly.
A young man knelt directly before the third generation, catching the latter off guard. The young man said:
"Lord Hokage, my brother was captured by Orochimaru and used for human experiments. When he was found, he was soaked in liquid and his whole body was swollen, making him almost unrecognizable. I beg you, Lord Hokage, to execute Orochimaru and avenge my brother!"
At the high-level meeting.
The Third Hokage was the Kage of Konoha.
It can decide many things.
But at this moment, the Third Hokage was facing the villagers of Konoha.
One of the most vulnerable groups.
And there are thousands of eyes watching.
If this matter is not handled properly...
The Third Hokage will inevitably be unable to establish himself in Konoha in the future!
"Get up quickly!" The third generation quickly helped him up.
He looked at the large group of angry villagers.
The third generation knew that they needed to deal with this political crisis immediately!
So the third generation waved his hand, his voice resolute:
"Don't worry, everyone. Even though Orochimaru is my disciple, as the Hokage of Konoha, I will never fail to obey him. Today, I will definitely give you all an explanation!"
But just then...
An ANBU ninja rushed over and whispered something in the Third Hokage's ear that shocked him.
"Orochimaru, who was imprisoned in Root, has vanished!"

Despite the Konoha leadership's best efforts to conceal it, Orochimaru's escape was still leaked.
All the villagers were filled with righteous indignation.
They kept marching.
