Chapter 42 The Truth Behind the Kumogakure Invasion

The incident that Bai Feng mentioned happened almost six years ago when Kumogakure came to Konoha to sign a peace treaty. On the surface, it was a negotiation, but in fact it was for the sake of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

Many people at the scene still have an impression of it, but because of some relationships, the Konoha high-level officials deliberately concealed it, and the Hyuga clan was hard to say. Many villagers, including most of the clan, did not know the specific truth.

At this time, at the bottom of the square, Hyuga Hiashi, who had been keeping silent, heard the words and immediately raised his head and looked at Bai Feng!

That day he lost his brother, which was his eternal pain.

The Hyuga clan members who participated in the meeting that day and knew a lot of secrets were also moved, and they all looked at Uchiha Baifeng in the field!

Not only them, but also the Konoha high-level officials.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsuyoshi Koharu and others all looked sideways.

Is Bai Feng going to talk about that incident? !

But

"Everyone knows that our Konoha and Kumogakure have been in a state of hostility for many years, until the relationship eased later, so the two sides decided to negotiate. On that day, the leader of the Kumogakure ninja came to Konoha Village to participate in the ceremony and conclude an alliance treaty. All Konoha ninjas attended this ceremony."

Dozens of Konoha villagers nodded in unison. They knew all these things.

Some of them were even participants at the time.

Bai Feng chuckled and said, "But this matter is not as simple as you think."

"Because the same day was the 3rd birthday of Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan members did not participate in the alliance ceremony."

"That night, the leader of the Kumogakure ninja attempted to abduct the young Hinata to study the secrets of the Byakugan, and was killed on the spot by Hyuga Hiashi. Afterwards, the Kumogakure Village accused Konoha of violating the alliance treaty. The two sides argued, and Kumogakure even threatened to start a war to let Konoha hand over the bodies of the people involved."

"The final outcome was that Hyuga Neji's father, Hyuga Hiashi, voluntarily sacrificed himself to protect the clan and died for his brother!"

Hearing this, some Konoha villagers couldn't help whispering.

"How could such a thing happen? This Yunying Village is too abominable!"

"At first I thought they really came to negotiate, but they turned out to be some big-tailed wolves."

"No, how can this be tolerated? The guys from Yunying Village are almost riding on our faces?"

"Why have I never heard of these things?"

As the original incident was exposed, some members of the Hyuga family clenched their fists and their faces became ugly.

This is a great shame for the Hyuga family.

Even Hyuga Hiashi himself buried his head and suppressed his anger.

The performance of the Hyuga family was naturally seen by others, and they all speculated why.

At this time, Bai Feng continued with a smile:

"I think everyone is very curious. It was the Cloud Village that started the dispute first, so why did the Hyuga clan have to pay the price? Why didn't Konoha react at all?"

Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Koharu Utaha behind the Third Generation began to roar:

"Uchiha Bai Feng, what on earth do you want to do by saying all this?"

Bai Feng sneered: "You made the decision on this matter, otherwise you will give Konoha an answer?"

"In that case, I will tell you the situation at the beginning." The Third Generation sighed, "Everyone knows that Konoha was seriously injured after the three wars, the three ninjas left, and then Minato died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Facing the powerful Cloud Village, we can't waste any more energy."

Looking at the righteous words of the Third Generation, Bai Feng laughed directly,

"That's not right, Third Generation Hokage. Isn't this because you Konoha's top leaders are scared and don't want to fight?"

"What do you mean?" The Third Generation glared at Bai Feng.

"Konoha Village, which is known as the No. 1 ninja village in the ninja world, has won three wars and stood for so long. I think it is not because of temporary tolerance and concession, right?"

"Let me be frank. The decision of the Hyuga clan to hand over Hyuga Hizashi was made by the top leaders of Konoha. They tolerated and compromised just for the sake of temporary stability and the so-called peace of Konoha!"

As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, the villagers of Konoha were in an uproar!

"How could it be, Lord Hokage, how could you make such a decision?"

"Isn't this equivalent to being slapped in the face by others on your own territory? It's a great shame!"

"Our ancestors killed so many enemies in the three wars. They fought for peace for us. Why should we bow to Kumogakure!"

"What kind of person is Kumogakure? How dare they ride on our heads?"

At this time, the patriarchs of those big clans also shook their heads, with a sense of shame lingering in their hearts.

After all, peace between big countries is not just about bowing your head and admitting your mistakes.

In these wars, their tribesmen also fought bloody battles for Konoha and blazed a path to peace.

As a result, they fought to the death, and countless tribesmen died, and they were immediately regarded as a joke by the Third Generation.

What a shame.

Looking at the indignation of the Konoha villagers, Bai Feng decided to push again,

"The Third Generation Hokage usually said that he was a Hokage who loved the people like his own children, but for the sake of temporary peace, the Konoha villagers sacrificed. Konoha has such a strong strength, but it can't even protect a villager. And Konoha White Fang was once the most trusted subordinate of the Third Generation Hokage, but White Fang also died in the accusation."

"All this is worth reflecting on!"

...

Until this time, all the spearheads were pointed at the Konoha high-level, and the Third Generation was completely clear about what Bai Feng had done before.

He wanted to let the reputation he had been painstakingly building fall into the abyss!

He wanted the Konoha high-level to lose the support of the Konoha villagers!

He wants to overthrow the current rule of the Konoha high-level officials!

At this time, the only thought in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was that Bai Feng could not continue to speak.

Otherwise, the situation would inevitably develop in an uncontrollable direction.

At this time, Bai Feng continued:

"Do you know why those guys in the Hidden Cloud Village have the courage to ride on our Konoha? Isn't it because there is a traitor among the Konoha high-level officials!"

Traitor?

Or Konoha high-level officials?

For a moment, everyone was surprised.

People stopped discussing and looked at Bai Feng in the field.

At this time, even Hyuga Hiashi and others paid attention to it, wanting to know why.

Could it be that there was a hidden story at the beginning?

"Come here, bring up Mitomon En's son Mitomon Aoto."

"Yes!"

The two Konoha guards agreed heavily.

Soon, Mitomon Aoto, who was imprisoned in Konoha Prison, was brought to the central square of Konoha.

Bai Feng looked at the man who was in a state of embarrassment due to the torture, and immediately said in a loud voice:

"Let me introduce to you, Mizutomon Aoto, the son of Mizutomon En, the Hokage's advisor. Like Uchiha Itachi, he is a traitor and colluded with outsiders. Before the Cloud Shadow came to negotiate, he leaked the information that the Konoha high-level officials did not want a war!"

"It is because this guy betrayed Konoha's information in advance that the group of people in Kumogakure are so arrogant, not taking Konoha seriously, and so brazenly entered the Hyuga clan to capture the Hyuga princess Hinata!"
