Chapter 48: The Hard-to-Invite Hyuga Clan

Should I look at him as a candidate for Hokage, as one of the Three Ninjas, or as Minato's elder?
Orochimaru was not very clear, because to him, these three identities had different meanings, and they should also have different meanings to Li Ke.

The other party would think about the kind of questions that only a Hokage would think about, so he must have also thought about the problems of this world and the problems of the village.

He is not like Hongdou beside him, just an ordinary little kid.

"Murata Carbon Cleaning..."

Orochimaru didn't say anything else, but closed his eyes, thinking about what attitude he should use to face the other party.

But no matter what, we have to wait until a peace agreement with Kirigakure is signed.

But when he thought about the fact that Konoha Village was about to let Kirigakure take back everything it had for nothing, Orochimaru clenched his hands tightly again.

This was something he could not accept, and it was the last thing he could accept, because his teacher had trampled on his own efforts, and also trampled on the efforts of others.

"teacher……"

While he was thinking about this matter, Li Ke also met the two clan leaders.

The patriarch of the Uchiha clan is not very difficult to find, but the patriarch of the Hyuga clan is more difficult to find. Because of the loss of a Byakugan in the Kirigakure battlefield, the power of the Hyuga main family has almost completely shrunk, leaving only a large number of ninjas from the branch families.

So what Li Ke sees now is a large group of Hyuga Hiashi under the protection of the Hyuga branch family.

Yes, it was not that Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku went to see Li Ke and Namikaze Minato together, but that Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Fugaku and Li Ke went to see Hyuga Hiashi together.

“It’s really hard to invite you.”

Li Ke hugged his arms and spoke to Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha on the side.

"This is not an excessive matter. There is nothing Mr. Rizu can do about it."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke very seriously.

"The Byakugan is not like our Sharingan. When outsiders use our Sharingan, it will constantly consume chakra. If they are not physically strong and have enough chakra, they will only be a burden. But the Byakugan is different. Anyone can use it. So, it is not a problem for Mr. Hiashi to be careful."

Having said that, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration.

"The Hyuga clan's determination and idea of ​​using caged birds to protect their own people and to prevent their own blood from leaking out is truly a genius idea, and it can also greatly increase the cohesion of the clan..."

When Li Ke heard these words, he really felt that Uchiha Fugaku's chakra was full of envy and yearning, as if the bird in a cage was really a good thing.

Then he saw Minato Namikaze also nodded.

"Yes, the Hyuga clan is indeed very united, and the bird in a cage is indeed a very good seal to prevent the outflow of power."

Li Ke: “…………”

He sensed the chakra and found that what Minato Namikaze said was also true!

No, buddy!

However, although Li Ke complained in his heart, he also knew the reason.

Because the ninja system is actually not much better than a caged bird. After eating the shit of the ninja system, eating the shit of a caged bird is not a big problem for the Hyuga family. And the Hyuga family really takes care of everything.

As long as you are branded as the Caged Bird and become a member of a branch family, money, residence, food, ninja tools, and spouse are no longer a problem. Even if you do not become a ninja, there are some allowances and hidden benefits.

What Hyuga Hiashi and other elders do most is not to fight for power, but to help people find blind dates.

That's right, the most important job of the Hyuga clan's chief and elders is to find wives for the members of the Hyuga clan. And it's not a mandatory match, it depends on the willingness of both parties.

If you don't want to marry someone from the same clan, you can marry someone from outside the clan. If you don't have money, the clan can give you money, but if the child looks down on you, you have to return to the clan.

Once the Byakugan are left outside, the elders, clan leaders, and the village must step in to recover them to prevent a second Byakugan family from competing for the Hyuga clan's ecological niche and leveling the advantage with Konoha Village.

This is what Li Ke saw in Konoha Village, because any Hyuga ninja could easily become a patrol ninja or the absolute tactical core of a team.

His first teammate was a member of the Hyuga branch. His biggest wish was to find a nice girl to marry in the Hyuga family after becoming a Chunin, and then work as a manager in some shops in the clan. Apart from complaining about the caged bird on his forehead and saying it was ugly, he didn't have much to say about it.

They relied on each other's White Eyes to kill countless enemies, but unfortunately, this teammate with White Eyes died in a melee.

As for the young master of the Zong family bullying men and women, he wouldn't know about it behind closed doors, but it would definitely not happen outside.

In the final analysis, the ninja clans in the ninja world are not the clans that the Chinese people know. Even the clan leader like Hyuga Hiashi has to personally go to the front line to kill people. In this case, being mean to the clan members and the people around you is simply seeking death.

but……

“This thing is still inhumane.”

Looking at the covered foreheads of the Hyuga branches, Li Ke spoke in his heart.

If the function of the Byakuyan was just to make it automatically destroy after death, then it wouldn't be a big problem, but unfortunately, this thing actually has the function of punishing and killing people.

This is different.

However, even Senju Tobirama did not think that this was excessive.

"Compared to freedom, the most important thing is not to leak out the power of the family. Besides, the welfare benefits of the Hyuga family are also very good. Qingtan, you are too harsh. If you rashly interfere in the affairs of other families, it will cause many problems."

Senju Tobirama spoke up to dissuade him. In his opinion, Li Ke might very likely attack the Hyuga clan.

Li Ke knew what Senju Tobirama meant. Wasn't he just worried that he would use his own power to force the Hyuga clan to release the bird from the cage?

Although he could do it, he wouldn't do it this way.

"Even if I want to change all this, I won't resort to the method of forcing the emperor to abdicate. I will make sure that all high-ranking officials in Konoha are ninjas who will never leak secrets, strengthen the security regulations for the high-ranking officials, and vigorously promote members of the Hyuga clan, but then have them demoted because of the security regulations. Then the Hyuga clan will naturally make changes. Of course, I can also let a Hokage marry someone who is destined to become a branch family as his wife, and make an opening for a caged bird."

He smiled.

"After all, we are all from the same village."

He usually leaves the body intact.

Not unless you give me face.
