Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina

"You, the Hyuga clan, are in the wrong in this matter!"

The words hung heavy in the air, sending a wave of shock through the gathered Hyuga clan members.

They had come here demanding justice from the Third Hokage, expecting Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto to be punished for their actions.

And yet—how had the blame suddenly shifted onto them?

It was inconceivable.

The "Red-Hot Habanero" had killed one of their esteemed elders, Hyuga Takamaru.

A large number of their clansmen had been injured or worse.

How could the Third Hokage possibly stand in defense of Kushina and Mikoto?

Had he lost his mind?

This was the shared thought of every Hyuga present.

It didn't make sense. In the past, troublemakers would have been subdued and punished without question. The law was absolute.
