Chapter 204 What does it matter who wins and who loses?
In the shadows in the distance, two figures were watching the progress from afar.
With White Zetsu's wireless Wi-Fi, nothing on the scene, not even voice conversations, could escape An and Zetsu's notice.
"An, are you still going to stand here and watch? Aren't you going to come down and help?" Jue asked somewhat anxiously.
"Help what?" An said dismissively, "If the family wants to be freed from separation, they can only rely on themselves."
"Only when they personally overthrow their masters can they be reborn from the ashes."
"How can one achieve freedom without paying a heavy price in blood and sacrifice?"
"The greater the price they pay, the more people die, the more they cherish the gains they have made, and the less they can turn back on the road of rebellion."
"So, this is ultimately an internal affair of the Hyuga clan, a war between the branch family and the main family. It's none of our business to interfere!"
"But if we don't intervene, the division of the family property might lead to immediate defeat!"
"Heh—so what if we lost!" An Bing laughed coldly, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "Brilliant! Have you forgotten why we encouraged the Hyuga branch family to rebel against the main family's rule?"
"You don't actually believe we're so kind as to help the branch family break free from the main family, do you?"
"Uh—" After An reminded him, Jue immediately realized what was going on.
"You bastard, you talk such nice things, but in the end, it's all just about revenge!"
"All you want is to create internal strife in Konoha. As for who wins and who loses between the Hyuga main family and the branch family, you don't really care, do you?"
"That's right." An smiled smugly, "It's just a pity that the Third Hokage and Itachi weren't in the village, otherwise this show would have been even more interesting."
"Oh, it's such a shame we can't see those amazing expressions on their faces!"
"By the way, where is the main force of Konoha Village? Why are they taking so long?"
"By the time they get back to the village, the play will be over."
"Why don't you send a White Zetsu to warn them and make them run faster? They should still be able to see the final curtain fall."
"Hehe, you really have a twisted sense of humor, An." Zetsu said this, but the white half of Zetsu automatically detached and sank into the ground.
The sudden appearance of the Konoha villagers attracted everyone's attention.
The clansmen immediately became excited and hurriedly cried out for help.
"Nara Jonin, please save us!"
"As long as the village helps us quell the rebellion, we'll agree to any conditions afterwards!"
"The Hyuga clan will make up for all expenses and losses incurred during the suppression of the rebellion tenfold, and we will absolutely not let our fellow villagers suffer any losses!"
""
Seeing the ugly faces of the main family, Neji was even angrier. He raised an eyebrow and shouted, "All members of the branch family, go and stop those Konoha ninjas, regardless of whether they live or die!"
"The main family's affairs will be handled by the Edo Tensei."
At his command, the clan immediately split into two groups, each facing its own enemy.
Seeing his former comrade now with bloodshot eyes, risking his life to fight desperately, Nara Shikasuke also panicked.
"Don't fight amongst yourselves!"
"We're from the same village, we're colleagues!"
"Don't let ambitious people sway you; wake up quickly!"
To his surprise, his shouts did not awaken the branch families; instead, they made them even angrier.
"Shut up!"
"Those village bastards!"
"You said you never interfere in the Hyuga clan's internal affairs, so what are you doing now?"
"So, their so-called non-interference is just them helping the main family!"
"You're clearly in cahoots with the main family!"
"If you hadn't been so lenient with the main family, how could they have bullied the branch family for so long?"
"We're perfectly sober right now!"
"There were no ambitious individuals stirring things up; there was only the awakening of the branch families!"
"If the village doesn't want to fight among ourselves, then just stand by and watch without getting involved!"
"Once we wipe out the main family, everything will naturally settle down!"
"I'm telling you, anyone who stands in our way of killing the main family member will become our branch family's mortal enemy!"
"It's a fight to the death!"
The branch families roared and clashed with the Konoha ninja.
The main family rarely goes to the battlefield; the Hyuga ninjas who fight on the battlefield are mostly from the branch family.
In those previous life-or-death battles, these branch families fought side by side with the ninjas of Konoha Village, sharing life and death countless times, and had developed some kind of friendship with each other.
Now, facing their former comrades who had fought side by side on the battlefield, the people of Konoha Village simply couldn't bring themselves to kill them. They could only parry and defend themselves while constantly offering words of advice.
"Ningxin, you need to calm down!"
"The village is very weak right now and can't withstand any more trouble. You should stop immediately!"
"Akiya, are you really going to rebel against the village?"
Think of your family and friends!
"We are not your enemies, get out of the way!"
Their shouts did slow down their friends' movements considerably, making them less ruthless, but they still blocked their way, preventing them from passing.
"If you continue to consider me a friend, then don't interfere in the affairs of our Hyuga clan."
"I assure you, as long as the village doesn't interfere, we will remain members of the village and will never betray it!"
"The main family is very small, and they don't go to the battlefield. Even if they all die, it won't weaken the village!"
"I just don't understand why you insist on stopping us from killing them all!"
"It's not that we're splitting up and causing conflict with the village; it's that you're making things difficult for us!"
"Do you really think that after the main family is saved, they will pretend that the rebellion never happened?"
"Once the main family recovers, they will eliminate all the branch families that participated in the rebellion!"
"You should all think this through carefully. Which is more important, the main families or us branch families?"
After the branch families exposed the key points, the ninjas on the Konoha side began to have doubts.
They weren't unaware of the Hyuga main family's true nature, and they could easily guess how the main family would react to this matter in the future.
Helping the Zong family now would be tantamount to sending these comrades who once fought alongside him and shared life and death to their doom.
With doubts in mind, the hands naturally slowed down.
Everyone pretended to fight, but all of them turned their attention to Nara Shikasuke, who was in charge, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Ugh, this is such a headache!"
Nara Shikasuke slapped his forehead in pain, feeling as if his skull was about to explode.
If we simply measure the value between the two, then there is no doubt that the value of the family that separated is greater.
They outnumbered their opponents, had superior fighting skills, and even their reasons for rebellion were plausible, giving them the moral high ground.
However, there are many things in the world that cannot be simply measured by value or right and wrong.
Things like the rules of the ninja world, the attitude of the daimyo, the hierarchy of clans, the degree of recognition and support that the main and branch families have for the village, and the cohesion of the ninjas and villagers are all things that cannot be measured by value.
An ordinary ninja only needs to consider right and wrong and his own likes and dislikes, but he, as the temporary leader of the village, has to consider many more things.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the capable person returned.
