Unlimited Naruto

There was an autumn rain last night, and leaves fell everywhere in the courtyard. An old tree swayed in the wind, looking a little desolate.

A black cloth was hung in the Hyuga clan's territory, and outside the mourning hall being built, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped here.

Many people were walking in a hurry, and sitting at the end was a gentle and beautiful woman wearing black mourning clothes. Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered her as Hyuga Hizashi's fiancee, Hyuga Ayano.

I heard that she and Hinata were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Maybe after the war, the two were about to get married.

He turned around and left here, heading to another house.

Hyuga Taikyu is the father of the brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi, the previous clan leader of the Hyuga clan, and the only remaining clan of the Hyuga clan.

"Hokage-sama." Hinata Taigui's old face was filled with respect, and he saluted the visitor.

"We haven't seen each other for a while, Taigui." Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, then walked up to the main seat and sat down unceremoniously.

"Hokage-sama is busy with the war, so I don't dare to disturb you." Hinata Taikyu responded with his head bowed, and took the initiative to provide him with tea.

The white air lingered along the tea cup, adding a touch of warmth to the cold room.

The two old men sat opposite each other. They both said that the older a person gets, the kinder he becomes. This was true for Hyuga Taikyu. This old man had kind eyes and no aggressive aura.

This should have been the case with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Hyuga Taikyu felt that the third generation Hokage's temperament was colder and tougher than before.

Thinking about it, he suddenly discovered that his original confidants were all people with alien intentions. Those memories of the future were undoubtedly a wake-up call to Sarutobi Hiruzen!

"Yes, the war was difficult, many things were delayed, and many people gradually became alienated." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

"On the political front, I have two advisors, En and Koharu, and I also have Shikaku, Jiraiya and Minato on the front line. Hokage-sama is lucky." Hinata Taikyu smiled gently, "Besides, Minato is so outstanding, he will definitely be able to take up the responsibility in the future. Heavy responsibility.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his teacup and said, "Whether Konoha has a future remains to be seen."

Hyuga Taikyu looked surprised: "What do you mean, Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen placed the two secret letters on the table, and Hyuga Taikyu picked them up and read them respectively.

"Kumogakure and Sunagakure are planning to use their troops against us again. Konoha is already trying hard, so I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it."

"There is such a thing!" Hyuga Taikyu frowned as he read the contents of the letter.

After a long silence, Hyuga Taikyu said again: "If peace can be obtained by sacrificing just one person, Hokage-sama should consider the overall situation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced sideways and said, "This man is a member of your Hinata clan."

Hyuga Taikyu said sternly: "For the sake of the village, the Hyuga family is duty-bound!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "The Hyuga clan has encountered great changes, and family matters are important. I have sent people to the front line to deliver a message, calling all the ninjas of the Hyuga clan back to express condolences for Hiashi."

Hyuga Taikyu showed a look of surprise and confusion: "Hokage-sama, why is this happening? It is when the war is stalemate, they should be serving on the front line!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also asked doubtfully: "Didn't you request that all the ninjas of the Hyuga clan come back to attend the funeral?"

Hyuga Taikyu's expression changed for a while, and he sighed heavily: "I don't know anything about this, let alone do such a thing that disregards the overall situation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes moved slightly and he said calmly: "Oh?"

"I am getting old, my eyesight is dim, and Rizu suddenly died of illness. I am no longer the one who has the final say in the clan."

"You are from the Zong family."

"Yes, but if I don't have a voice, Hinata won't have the distinction between clans, Hokage-sama, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped a finger on the low table, and after a while he asked again: "Who is in charge among the Hyuga clan now?"

"Hizashi's ability is very convincing to everyone." Hyuga Taikyu said.

"Or... forget it." He changed the subject, but stopped abruptly in the middle and shook his head slowly.

Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen knew which name he was going to say, and he sneered secretly in his heart.

He wanted to continue asking "or who it is" and pierce the window paper, but after the silence, this idea was suppressed.

The current situation did not allow him to be impatient at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the black cloth hanging at the door and said calmly: "Hizu is also extremely outstanding among his peers."

Hinata Taikyu just said "Yeah".

Rizu is his biological son.

"He should be buried in the resting place of heroes, and his name should be engraved on the memorial tablet."

"…Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed the tea cup, drank the remaining tea and put it back on the table.

On the way back, they passed by the mourning hall that was being built. The woman who was originally inside walked out and bowed gently to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama." Hinata Ayano greeted.

"There are many affairs in the clan. Hizashi has disappeared for two days. If there is no task assigned to him by the village, please inform him, Hokage-sama, that he is needed in the family to take charge of matters."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this gentle woman. She was dressed in black mourning clothes, her eyebrows were lowered, her eyes were filled with sadness. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for such a weak woman.

But he just said a faint "hmm" and left this dark family.

Minato once again came to the secret room where Hinata was imprisoned. There was a new batch of Anbu here. No one was allowed to enter or exit this place without the permission of the Hokage.

When I saw this young man again, he was even weaker than last time. There was a bottle hanging beside him and he was being infused. His lips were white and could be seen in the dim room.

"Is it Minato-sama?"

The other party seemed to recognize it from the sound of footsteps, and spoke proactively, breathless.

Minato did not sit down, but stood close to him.

"Lord Minato, can you let me out?"

Minato's eyes were a little complicated and he asked, "Have you already guessed what the village will do to you?"

A look of confusion appeared on Zhen's weak face: "Hasn't Mr. Haiyi already seen my memory?"

"..."

Zhen Zhen said bitterly: "Is it possible that after reading my memories, the village still thinks that I am a threat?"

"Hai Yi is dead."

Zhen looked stunned and confused: "Why?"

"He was murdered."

I couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Master Haiyi a jounin? He is an elite ninja in the village. Who can kill him?"

Minato looked sad.

A jounin, who can kill him...

Only when facing companions would one be undefended.

After a brief silence in the narrow room, the sound of Minato's voice sounded again.

"No one has read your memory, but I choose to believe you because you are a companion of the village. In the previous mission, you were as much a hero as your teammates who sacrificed their lives."

Shin, whose hands and feet were bound and couldn't see everything, listened to the voice coming from above, was silent for a moment and responded: "...Thank you, Minato-sama."

Minato continued: "The village also trusts you, Makoto. Join my team and protect the village with me."

"Can I have a request?"

"Um."

Zhen slowly raised his head, opening his pale eyes as if looking at Minato.

"Give me a pair of eyes that can see the world clearly."
