Chapter 66 - The Arrogant Hyūga, Yamanaka, and Nara Clans

It had to be said—when it came to dōjutsu, the Uchiha clan had always held the upper hand over the Hyūga clan.

Only in recent years, after the Hyūga clan gradually latched onto the thigh of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did they manage to press down on the Uchiha clan.

Now, watching with their own eyes as the Uchiha clan—once firmly suppressed beneath them—suddenly soared upward like a dragon ascending to the heavens, it was something no Hyūga clansman could easily accept.

What was more, the Hyūga clan held enormous influence within Konoha's upper echelons. That was why they dared to speak so coldly.

"That's right! Did you even ask for our Hyūga clan's opinion!?"

As Hyūga Hizashi's words fell, the current head of the Hyūga clan, Hyūga Hiashi, slowly stepped forward, his pale Byakugan eyes filled with icy indifference.

Seeing how shameless the Hyūga clan was being, one of the leading Uchiha clansmen was just about to speak when Ning Feng flashed forward, raised his hand, and gestured for him to step back.

"We of the Uchiha clan have made immeasurable contributions to Konoha ever since its founding. Countless enemies have fallen at the hands of Uchiha clansmen."

"In the past, due to slander from petty individuals, our clan was forced to accept surveillance and live on the outskirts of the village."

"Thankfully, the Fourth Hokage, Lord Namikaze Minato, is a man of reason. He invited our Uchiha clan to return to our original location. So—what seems to be the problem?"

Ning Feng spoke calmly, stepping forward as he did so, standing directly before Hyūga Hiashi.

Under the effects of the Akimichi secret medicine, Ning Feng's body was packed with muscle, his height reaching a full 1.8 meters. Standing in front of Hiashi, his presence was overwhelming, faintly suppressing the Hyūga clan head instead.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to speak to our Hyūga clan head like that!?"

Hyūga Hizashi frowned and was about to rebuke him—when a flash of scarlet light appeared.

Ning Feng's three-tomoe Sharingan was revealed.

The moment the Sharingan appeared, its powerful oppressive force made the previously arrogant Hizashi retreat a step. Even Hyūga Hiashi couldn't help but feel his heart jolt.

He hadn't expected that in just a few days, the Uchiha clan would produce even more outstanding talents.

"Three-tomoe Sharingan…"

"I never thought that among your younger generation, the Uchiha clan would already have three people with three-tomoe Sharingan."

As Hiashi said this, his momentum visibly weakened.

Only a clan head like him truly understood what it meant for the Uchiha's younger generation to possess three three-tomoe Sharingan.

It meant that in the future—there would be three Susanoo.

Seeing Hiashi and Hizashi's presence falter, Ning Feng let out a silent chuckle.

Truth be told, if it weren't for Hyūga Hinata in the future, Ning Feng wouldn't have had the slightest bit of goodwill toward the Hyūga clan.

After all, later on, in order to curry favor with Konoha and gain political capital, Hyūga Hiashi had even sacrificed his own brother to take the blame—causing Hyūga Neji to harbor deep hatred toward the entire clan.

A clan that weak and spineless was something Ning Feng had always despised.

"Oh, right," Ning Feng said lightly. "My name is Uchiha Feng. I am the young clan head of the Uchiha. If there's anything you want to discuss, you can talk to me."

After saying that, he coldly swept a glance over Hyūga Hiashi and Hyūga Hizashi, then waved his hand, signaling for the Uchiha clansmen to continue.

The Uchiha clansmen were beyond excited. One by one, they looked at Ning Feng with admiration and gratitude, their speed in moving belongings increasing noticeably.

In the past, whenever they were in Konoha, the Hyūga clan barked orders at them, and the Uchiha never dared to resist.

What Ning Feng had just said today had completely vented a huge amount of pent-up resentment for the entire Uchiha clan.

"Hmph!"

Hyūga Hiashi snorted coldly, turned around, and prepared to report the matter to Hiruzen Sarutobi—to complain about Namikaze Minato's decision.

But just then, several more voices rang out.

"Although the Fourth Hokage has permitted the Uchiha clan to move into the core area, I think this matter should still be reported to Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi and left for the Konoha high council to decide, don't you agree?"

"And besides, who can guarantee that an evil clan capable of using dōjutsu to control the Nine-Tails won't do something harmful to Konoha once surveillance is lifted?"

A deep, powerful voice rang out without warning.

The speaker was none other than the head of the Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Inoichi, father of Yamanaka Ino.

"Yes, I also think this should be brought before Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi."

The next voice was calmer and steadier—belonging to Nara Shikaku, Nara Shikamaru's father.

Standing quietly behind Nara Shikaku was a fat man clad in armor—none other than Akimichi Chōza.

As these three clan heads from Konoha's old-established families appeared, the previously weakened Hyūga Hiashi and Hyūga Hizashi immediately regained their momentum, coldly staring at Ning Feng.

"Why do you look down on our Uchiha clan so much!?"

"What exactly has our Uchiha clan done to wrong you!?"

"The Akimichi, Yamanaka, Hyūga, and Nara clans—are you trying to unite against our Uchiha clan!?"

The Uchiha clansmen were furious. One after another, they activated their Sharingan.

How could Ning Feng fail to see it?

The Uchiha clan's relocation into Konoha's core district was bound to shake the status of the Yamanaka, Akimichi, Nara, and Hyūga clans within the village. That was precisely why they were doing everything they could to block it.

In the original story, the reason the Uchiha clan—despite losing countless elites for Konoha—was never truly valued had a lot to do with these clans.

In fact, even the cold and indifferent attitude these major clans later showed toward the lone survivor, Uchiha Sasuke, made that painfully clear.

"So according to you, Hiruzen Sarutobi is the real Hokage—not the Fourth Hokage, Lord Namikaze Minato?"

"Otherwise, why must everything be decided by Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

Facing the pressure from four clan heads, Ning Feng remained completely unflustered and shot back coldly.

Sure enough, the moment he said this, all four clan heads were instantly choked into silence, frozen in place, wanting to speak but unable to utter a single word.

"Back then, if our Uchiha clan hadn't set aside generations of hatred and joined hands with the Senju clan to found Konohagakure, there wouldn't even be a Konoha Village today."

"So tell me—by obstructing the Uchiha clan now, are you trying to defy the will of our ancestors?"

Ning Feng's tongue was sharp and his firepower relentless, once again leaving the four clan heads speechless.

Of course, there was one thing Ning Feng didn't say out loud.

Back in the Warring States Period, clans like the Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Nara were nothing more than followers—dogs—serving beneath the Uchiha and Senju.

And now?

Those dogs dared to climb onto their master's head.
