At the entrance of Konoha Village.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Danzo, along with some other ninjas, stood at the entrance of the village waiting.
They waited for quite a while, but still did not see the Hyuga clan return.
Even from early morning until the sun rose to the top of the sky, and then to sunset.
No one showed up.
"What's going on? Didn't you say they would come back today?"
Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen impatiently, and after hearing his voice, Sarutobi, who had been staring into the distance for a long time, turned his eyes.
"They're on the way."
It would take at most three days to get from the border to the entrance of Konoha Village, but now the time has exceeded.
They waited for a long time, from the Hokage, the Hokage advisors, to the ordinary ninjas, all stood for a day.
Many people, including the two Hokage advisors, showed impatience on their faces.
If the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was not still there and had never complained, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu would have left long ago.
But even so, they were still very dissatisfied.
At this time, not far from Konoha Village, several bonfires were lit, and the members of the Hyuga clan gathered there.
They gathered around the bonfire, talking and laughing, eating and drinking, quite comfortably.
They could have returned to Konoha in the morning, and Hyuga Hiashi really wanted to go back directly.
But Sato Akira stopped him.
He said that the Hyuga clan had fought for several days, and the clan members were extremely tired, so it would be better to take a rest.
It was indeed as Sato Akira said. They had been fighting for several days in a row. During these days, due to the lack of numbers and no reinforcements, Hyuga Hiashi wished that one person could be used as three people.
Although they did resist the attack of the Hidden Rock Village, everyone was tired and exhausted.
Hyuga Hiashi agreed to Sato Akira's request.
But in order to go back earlier, he only ordered a half-day rest.
Half a day is the only rest time for these ninjas who guard Konoha with their lives.
This is also almost the most relaxing time for them, because they are about to go home.
Home is always warm, isn't it?
Start again.
Sato Akira held Naruto, and Naruto held Kimimaro. The youngest one in the middle also smiled the happiest.
Soon, the outline of Konoha appeared in front of them.
The Hyuga clan members became excited.
Especially when they saw many ninjas waiting for them at the gate, they were even more excited. At this time, they almost wanted to shout out:
"We are back! We are heroes!"
But.
What came to them was a cold word.
"Why are you back so late?"
Danzo's voice.
All the Hyuga clan members were stunned.
Mitokado Homura said coldly, "Do you know that we have been waiting for you for a whole day! From morning to now! You'd better give me an explanation!"
Hyuga Hiashi was stunned at first, and then embarrassed, "That's right, Advisor. After repelling the Iwagakure Village, the clan members were too tired, so I ordered them to rest for a while."
"Rest?" Mitokado Homura sneered, "Then do you know that because of your presumptuous decision, we did nothing this day and caused great losses to the village!"
Hyuga Hiashi was speechless.
All Hyuga clan members were silent.
The original passion and joy were ruthlessly extinguished.
Even many of the Konoha ninjas frowned.
However, since the one who spoke was the Hokage advisor, they did not dare to refute.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, as if he had expected this scene a long time ago. He was about to say something comforting, but Sato Akira stepped forward.
He looked at Mitokado Homura.
Mitokado Homura sneered, "What do you want to say?"
Sato Akira said nothing, but drew his sword.
Swish!
A cold light flashed suddenly, and Mitokado Homura couldn't even react, and felt a chill on his face.
He subconsciously reached out and touched it, and found that his face was full of blood.
This sword directly destroyed his face.
Mitokado Homura looked terrified.
Sato Akira had a blank expression.
"I don't have good patience, so if you want to leave a last word, please be quick."
Blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and the ninjas looked at Sato Akira in a daze.
Sato Akira still had an indifferent expression.
"I don't know how important it is for you to do, Advisor. Of course, if you want to die, I apologize. I can even give you a ride to show my apology."
The sword flipped, and a cold light flashed.
Mitokado Homura subconsciously took a few steps back.
"They are fighting on the front line to protect the peace of the village." Sato Akira pointed at the Hyuga clan and said slowly: "They fought for days and nights without even a rest, in order to protect the village, protect their families, and keep them from harm. For this, they are desperate."
"Excuse me, Advisor, when they were fighting on the front line and working hard to protect the village, where were you?"
Facing Sato Akira's questioning, Mitokado Homura and the others looked away and hesitated.
Where were they?
They were lying comfortably at home, thinking about how to manipulate the new generation of Konoha to make them listen to them more.
To establish prestige, there is nothing better than taking the Hyuga clan, which had just returned triumphantly, as a starting point.
"Besides, when we returned, we never asked anyone to wait for us! The two of you also came voluntarily! Waiting for us is your business, not ours. If you are dissatisfied with this, then sorry, you can get out now!"
You can get out!
Sato Akira said this without any reservation.
The Hyuga clan members who heard this were suddenly excited, including the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, whose face was also flushed.
At this moment, he inexplicably looked at Sato Akira with favor.
He thought that having such a son-in-law seemed to be a good choice.
But.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were silent after Sato Akira's words.
But Danzo, who was standing aside, sneered.
"Sato Akira, I remember that you left the village with a mission, right? Now, is the mission completed?"
Is the mission completed?
Of course not!
Not to mention that it was a mission to capture Orochimaru, and later Konoha forcibly sent Naruto to the battlefield, which left Sato Akira with no choice but to go.
But now, in Danzo's mouth, it has become a handle.
"Alas!"
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had never spoken, spoke.
"It's just a mission. Besides, Sato Akira, together with the Hyuga clan, protected the village and is a hero of the village."
"It is the duty of a ninja to complete the mission. He should be rewarded for protecting the village, but he should also be punished if the mission is not completed. What's more, he just attacked the Hokage advisor, which is a big mistake!" Danzo said.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, as if he agreed with Danzo's words.
He looked lonely, as if he was powerless.
But as the Hokage, how could he not veto Danzo? Now, he just wanted to use Danzo's hand to suppress Sato Akira.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see what he meant.
The Hyuga clan was angry.
Hyuga Hiashi wanted to speak, but was stopped by Sato Akira.
Now is not the time to fall out with Sarutobi.
"Protecting Konoha is worth more than failing to complete the mission. But you will be punished for injuring the Hokage's advisor." Sarutobi made the decision, "Sato Akira, the village has decided to take back your ninja forehead protector and let you reflect on yourself at home for a few days. Do you have any objection?"
"Why!"
Before Sato Akira could answer, a voice suddenly sounded.
The voice was very soft and the speaker was not very old.
It was Naruto's voice.
Naruto looked stubborn, staring at Sarutobi and repeated it again.
"Why!"..
