Chapter 65 : Unreasonable Cloud Ninjas!!
Swish~!
As Dodai's words fell, his aura suddenly surged, his eyes fixed intensely on the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Behind him, the elite ninjas from the Cloud Village also unleashed their chakra, eyes locked onto the Third Hokage and the ninjas beside him, each gripping their weapons tightly.
The ones accompanying him for the negotiations were the most loyal ninjas of the Cloud Village. At Dodai's command, they would be ready to attack.
Kakashi and the others standing behind Sarutobi also tensed up, prepared to protect the Hokage at the first sign of aggression from the other side.
"Can you all be quiet? It was your people who broke into the Hyuga clan and tried to kidnap their future heir!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said, sensing the change in atmosphere, and spoke slowly to Dodai.
"Broken into the Hyuga clan?" Dodai frowned at Sarutobi, replying word by word, "Just because you say our people infiltrated the Hyuga clan, does that make it true? Are you framing the Cloud ninjas?"
"They indeed broke into the Hyuga clan! Many Hyuga clan members and Anbu can testify to this!" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. He knew Dodai was seizing this opportunity to make a big deal out of it, but he had to keep his cool and respond.
"Hmph! We are in Konoha, and you don't get to decide the truth of the matter!" Dodai shot a fierce glare at the crowd. He continued, "When you want to put the blame on someone, there are always excuses!"
Dodai was now shaping himself and the Cloud Village as the innocent party.
"We, the great Konoha, do we need to accuse you of having bad intentions just because you refuse to admit it!" Sarutobi Eisuke stood up, feeling frustrated. He had been scolded all night by the Third Hokage for not managing his guards properly.
