Chapter 272: The So-called Wood Release.
"As I said before, the Elders' Council is mainly responsible for assisting the Hokage and reducing his workload, so there is no specific division of responsibilities. After all, the current positions in the village are full, and no one wants to have a group of people giving orders above them.

However, non-war and secret intelligence documents, such as mission reports, that are collected in front of the Hokage must first be reviewed by the Elders' Council. For example, there are quite a few D and C level mission reports every day.

But at the same time, it is not highly confidential, and the Elders can completely reduce the workload of the Hokage, thus saving a lot of time for the Hokage to handle government affairs. I think Tsunade-senpai will definitely be happy with everyone helping her in this way.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Specific matters should wait until the Council of Elders is formed and discussed by the people who make up the Council of Elders. I think as long as the Council of Elders strictly follows the purpose of assisting the Hokage, it has meaning of existence.

However, I would like to point out that it is best not for the clan leader to concurrently serve as an elder. After all, one's energy is limited. Since he is responsible for Konoha, he must devote himself to it wholeheartedly. Therefore, my father, Hyuga Hiashi, will take over our Hyuga family."

After listening to Hinata Hyuga's words, the person who asked the question frowned slightly.

It’s not that there was something offensive in Hinata Hyuga’s words, but because Hinata Hyuga’s answer was not what he wanted to hear.

After all, the question that person asked was not actually about sharing the power of the Hokage, but more about seizing the rights of the incumbent personnel.

Because the ruling team formed by Sarutobi Hiruzen had people from the four major families distributed in various positions, and these were the targets of that person.

In short, the man was actually asking Hyuga Hinata how to divide the fruit.

Hyuga Hinata was aware of this, but she couldn't explain it through this topic. After all, she was not the Hokage at the moment, so she couldn't interfere.

There are also some things that can be discussed privately but cannot be discussed openly.

You should know that the people attending the meeting today are not only the clan leaders of various tribes, but also some civilian elites like Might Guy.

But this man was not stupid. He immediately realized that he was a little excited just now and forgot that the occasion was not right.

Of course, this is not his fault. After all, it was really difficult for small families during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

So when they saw someone standing up to redistribute power, how could the patriarchs of the small families who saw hope hold back?

After all, if you get more resources, you can train more ninjas and expand your family.

"Thank you for the answer, Chief Hinata. I have no questions anymore." The man said as soon as he realized what was going on.

"It's okay!" Hyuga Hinata nodded lightly.

"Chief Hinata, what if someone is dissatisfied with the established elders council and is unwilling to follow its orders?" another person stood up and asked.

"Why are you dissatisfied? Who dares to be dissatisfied! Before the succession of the Hokage, the Elders represented the highest power in Konoha. Is it true that only the Elders formed by Utatane Koharu, Shimura Danzo and Mito Kado En can represent Konoha, and the Elders formed by our various ninja clans cannot represent Konoha?

Who among you has not shed blood for Konoha? Who has not devoted everything to Konoha? Is it because of the struggle of the four clans that Konoha has become what it is today? But when you think about it, it is true that Konoha has become so weak because of their various selfish acts at the expense of others.

Therefore, no one can represent Konoha better than you present here. Anyone who does not follow the orders of the elders is a traitor. If there are such people, give me the list!" Hyuga Hinata said loudly and domineeringly at this moment.

hum!
Click!Click!
Following these words, Hyuga Hinata burst out with a domineering aura in front of everyone for the first time.

In just a moment, everyone present felt the heavy pressure like a mountain pressing on their bodies and hearts.

At the same time, the explosive aura seemed to have substance and caused cracks in the ground and the walls beside the venue.

Even though this pressure was fleeting and did not burden anyone, it was felt and witnessed by everyone present.

At this moment, everyone looked at Hinata Hyuga with horror in their eyes.

Although I knew that Hyuga Hinata might be very strong, I never thought she could be this strong.

This was just a burst of aura, and the dissipated chakra directly shattered the entire venue. This power was beyond everyone's understanding.

"With Lady Hinata's words, everyone feels relieved." The patriarch of the small clan immediately flattered, even changing his address.

With such a super powerful person whose aura alone is so terrifying, who would dare to disobey? Are you tired of living?

"Everyone, I personally don't really like running around for trivial matters. So I also hope that you won't be too hasty. Some things are not good to be pushed too hastily.

In addition, Konoha cannot experience the same thing as the genocide of the Uchiha clan again. This is the bottom line. Once the bottom line is broken, it will greatly hinder the unity within Konoha. Of course, you don’t have to worry about the pressure from the Hokage. I believe that the fifth generation will listen carefully to the voice of the public. "Hyuga Hinata continued.

"Lady Hinata is right. What the Uchiha clan did was indeed too much. This bottom line should not be touched." Someone immediately echoed.

After all, a few years ago, almost all of the Uchiha clan died in one night, which really scared a lot of people.

That was the Uchiha clan that dominated the Warring States Period, a great clan with a thousand-year heritage. In the entire ninja world, only the Senju could contend with them, and yet they were wiped out so easily.

Who wouldn’t be scared of this?

After all, if he can destroy the Uchiha, he can naturally destroy his own people.

This is the real reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other four have accumulated such great power.

In fact, if Hyuga Hinata hadn't just returned and forcefully sent away the remaining Konoha F3, I'm afraid few people would have dared to come to the ceremony today.

"Lady Hinata, do you have any opinion on the Wood Release that appeared in the Hokage Building yesterday?" Finally someone asked about the question about Wood Release.

“In fact, you don’t have to imagine Wood Release to be that powerful. The First Hokage is indeed the God of Ninjas, and he is terribly powerful. But the First Hokage is the First Hokage, and Wood Release is just Wood Release. It just happened to become famous because of the First Hokage.

Then back to Wood Release itself, it is not a bloodline limit, but a blood elimination formed by the fusion of chakras of water, earth and yang. Once you understand the essence, it will not be difficult to use it, just like this! "Hinata Hyuga said this, clasped her hands together, and a sapling quickly broke through the floor in front of her and grew up.

Everyone present couldn't hold back when they saw Hyuga Hinata's move.

"It's Wood Release!"

"It's Wood Release!"

"How can this be?!"

In fact, Hyuga Hinata's Wood Release does not rely on anyone's power, but is completely dependent on her own use.

And she was not lying, Wood Release was indeed a fusion of three properties.

However, Hinata Hyuga did not tell everyone that there is a prerequisite for the integration of Wood Release, and that is that one must have the blood inherited from Princess Kaguya.

Without the genes from the sacred tree, there is no way to activate the Wood Release skill.

In addition, the essence of Wood Release is vitality, so the real main component is Yang attribute chakra, while water and earth are just auxiliary.

"Everyone, although I do know Wood Release, unfortunately the tree in the Hokage Building has nothing to do with me. The tree was caused by the loss of control of the genes of the first generation transplanted by Shimura Danzo. The relevant information is in the root. When the fifth generation takes over, I will hand it over to the fifth generation." Hyuga Hinata did not hide it at this moment and directly revealed her cards. As for whether the people present would believe it or not, it was not important.

What’s important is that Hinata Hyuga gave them enough confidence and courage.

After all, a super strong person who can use Wood Release is equivalent to the next first generation.

With such a strong man standing behind him, what's the problem with five generations of succession?

Even if Hyuga Hinata had not made any contribution to Konoha and it also involved the issue of future distribution of interests, they would all want to push Hyuga Hinata to take over as the Fifth Hokage.

After all, Konoha is currently at its weakest, and it really needs a super strong person to lead everyone out of this weak period.

"Shimura Danzo actually dared to transplant the cells of the first generation. This is blasphemy. Damn it!"

"That's right, this kind of scum should have been executed long ago."

"What are you talking about? That's Sarutobi Hiruzen's dog. Who dares to hit a dog before its owner dies?"

"Master, Sarutobi Hiruzen really thinks of himself as the master of Konoha. Other Kages always charge to the front in every Ninja World War, but Sarutobi Hiruzen stays in the village and doesn't move. He talks nonsense like he's guarding the rear. In fact, he's just afraid of death."

"That's right, that's right! The people of these tribes mostly hide in the rear during every major battle, and then they fight desperately for us to take the lead. They really deserve to die!"

"Although Orochimaru has done many wrong things, he did do something really right this time."

As soon as this topic was brought up, all kinds of dissatisfied words immediately burst out.

Some of the families that suffered heavy losses or declined in the Third Ninja World War have the loudest voices. After all, they really suffered a lot.

The most hateful thing is that after the Third Ninja World War, these victims still had to be exploited by Danzo Shimura.

Any member with a bit of talent will be asked to serve in the root organization, and then they will never come back. This is simply digging up the roots of these families.

Precisely because of this, they were speaking the loudest at this moment, even though they knew that the die-hard fans of the Hokage faction were present, and even though they knew that Kurenai Yuhi was the object of pursuit of Asuma Sarutobi, they did not have the slightest scruples, because the resentment was really too deep.

It's almost turning into a criticism meeting.

And they no longer care about the people they originally needed to take into consideration.

After all, when Hinata Hyuga fired at Sarutobi Hiruzen for the first time and no one got up and left, it was already making their attitude clear.

Normally, if Ino-Shika-Chou, a die-hard fan of the Hokage, still cared about their past friendship, he should find an excuse to leave.

Because they are die-hard fans of Hokage, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen showed signs of suppression, compared to other victims, they can be considered beneficiaries.

To be honest, some people really looked down on them because they didn't leave and didn't even say a word.

But I don’t know that Nara Shikaku really has his own difficulties.

Do you really think he doesn't want to leave?
Not really. In fact, before he spoke for the first time, he wanted to get up and run away with an excuse.

After all, you can’t be called a hardcore Hokage fan for nothing.

Even if you don't dare to refute Hyuga Hinata, you can at least ignore her and leave.

But Nara Shikaku didn't expect that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He felt it very clearly that when he tried to get up, he was directly locked by an extremely dangerous aura.

Although there were no words, Nara could feel that the aura was warning him that if he moved, he would die.

To be honest, if Nara Shikaku didn't have enough self-control, he would have broken out in a cold sweat.

The suppression that seemed to come from the higher-level bloodline made Nara Shikaku really dare not resist at all.

If Nara Shikahisa doesn't move, the other two of Ino, Shika and Chou won't move either.

After all, the three parties are one, and the think tank Nara Shikahisa is the leader among them.

As for the others, since they did not leave before, they are now "one of us". If they dare to betray them in the future, they will have to pay the price of angering Hinata-sama.

clap clap!

However, as Hinata Hyuga clapped her hands, the sound on the field suddenly disappeared.

"Everyone, this is roughly what we have discussed today. We should hurry up and form the elders' council. I hope to see the personnel reported by each family before tonight, and then we will officially move into the Hokage Building tomorrow.

After all, Konoha has already had a power vacuum for a day, and it cannot continue. As for what happens next, while maintaining the normal operation of Konoha's various departments, everyone can discuss it in their free time.

You have to know that everyone has different areas of expertise, just like our Hyuga clan, which is currently transforming into a top medical ninja clan, so my father only focuses on matters related to Konoha Hospital."

As soon as Hyuga Hinata finished speaking, the eyes of many ninja clan leaders suddenly lit up.

Because they understood the last half of Hinata Hyuga's words, which was that the Hyuga clan only wanted the rights to Konoha Hospital.

Currently, Konoha Hospital is controlled by the Utsumi clan, which means that the Hyuga clan will only share part of the interests of the Utsumi clan.

Among the four major families, the real leader is the Sarutobi clan, and the remaining three clans are just vassals.

From this point of view, the Hyuga clan has given up enough benefits to other ninja clans.

In fact, with Hinata Hyuga's current strength, even if the Hyuga clan wants to take the big lead, no one dares to say anything.

Especially since the Hyuga clan is really big enough, they wouldn't suffer from indigestion even if they swallowed the Sarutobi clan in one gulp.

In fact, the clan leaders present were all prepared to drink some soup, but they did not expect that the Hyuga clan would give up the fat meat.

In addition, the last half of Hinata Hyuga's sentence also contains another meaning, that is, the Hyuga clan will not interfere in the division of interests among the various clans.

This is quite surprising.

But behind the surprise, everyone also knows that the Hyuga clan gave up many interests not because they were stupid.

These benefits are not taken for free.
