Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 227 Hiashi's vision is far superior to Fugaku's!

The Hyuga clan members gathered in a line in front of their clan shrine.

Hyuga Hizashi wisely stood below, not trying to steal his brother's thunder, quietly waiting for Hyuga Hiashi to arrive. As for the other main family members...

Apart from Hinata Kisai and a few others, the rest did not come.

Hijiri sneered and ignored those idiots.

Playing dead?

Is playing dead useful?

These members of the main branch kept claiming to be sacrificing for the greater good, but when they themselves became members of the branch, none of them were happy about it.

The division of the family and the resulting power split mean that members of the main family are losing their secure positions. This is an unstoppable trend.

Richa's gaze was indifferent.

The tribespeople below all raised their heads and looked up.

At that moment, a person appeared in an instant.

Hyuga Hiashi has arrived.

He glanced around, his face cold, and looked at Hyuga Kisai: "Elder, is someone missing?"

"The elders are sick and are resting at home."

Elder Xizhai said.

In reality, this is just a euphemism.

Although these elders were old, their ninja skills and physiques were far from being bedridden; they simply did not want to protest in this way.

but.

Rizu looked towards the side of Xizhai.

The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, my father is unwell and unable to get out of bed. He asked me to convey his apologies to you."

Although the eldest elder, Hyuga Yuki, did not come, all of his sons were present, including his eldest son, Hyuga Teru, who was not very hardworking.

Rizu nodded slightly.

The Grand Elder is different from the other elders.

The others kept in touch secretly after returning home, while Hyuga Sachikaku remained completely uninvolved.

This elder was utterly disappointed in his subordinates and had no intention of protecting them anymore.

To put it simply...

I'm desperate!

Hiashi said, "Elder has worked hard and dedicated his life to the family. Now that he is in poor health, we, as his juniors, should care for him. I will send some high-mountain herbs from the Land of Lightning over later."

"Thank you very much, Master!"

Hinata Teru thanked him respectfully, then retreated to Hinata Kisai's side.

Below, the members of the branch family looked at each other, not understanding what Hiashi was going to say today.

Mainly...

Although some opinions were solicited beforehand, they were mostly about secret techniques and the causes of casualties. No one knew anything about the reform of the main family.

This is exactly the effect Japan wants.

He remembered the few elders who hadn't come, sneered inwardly, turned his back to everyone and bowed to the shrine. Everyone bowed in unison, and then they heard Hiashi shout.

"Our ancestors are above."

"Our family lineage has been passed down for hundreds of years since the first ancestor..."

Japanese foot first recounted the history of the past.

This is not surprising to anyone.

These are the words we say every time we worship our ancestors, but as we keep saying them, everyone feels that something is off.

"Times change."

"The ancestral laws are no longer suitable for the Hyuga clan today. In order to maintain the clan's strength, the descendant Hyuga Hiashi has boldly changed the ancestral laws and altered the main family system..."

At this point, the entire room erupted in uproar.

Did you hear me wrong?

Change the clan system?

How is that possible!

Hyuga Kisai remained calm, but the elder's sons were all stunned, especially the eldest son, Hyuga Teru—

This matter is most closely related to him!

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked up, his gaze fixed on Hyuga Hiashi.

"The main clan is now corrupt and despises its branch clan members, having long lost its original purpose, and the name of the Heavenly Ninja has never been seen again. Therefore, I plan to change the main clan to a contribution system, so that in the future, anyone who makes great contributions to the clan will be remembered in Konoha and the ninja world..."

"Or, the child may possess exceptional talent, comparable to a Heavenly Ninja; in such a case, the offspring could become a member of the main family!"

"May our ancestors bear witness!"

After speaking loudly, Riji bowed deeply.

Those below bowed in response, and then each of the branch family members was shocked, their faces filled with astonishment.

Zong family...

No longer will they always be the main family; even those who split off can become members of the main family?

This!

How is that possible!

They were all stunned, looking at each other, but in each other's eyes they saw hope, fervor and ambition.

but.

Soon, some people sighed softly.

The policy is good, but their children have already missed out and have become members of a separate family.

The good news is that their children's next generation may have hope.

Hinata Teru was completely dumbfounded.

He ignored Hinata Kisai and strode forward.

"Master, this...this can't be done!"

He was only halfway through his sentence when he realized exactly why his father wasn't coming.

Today is not a good day.

What are you doing here?

Hyuga Akira's abilities are not bad, but only not bad; he's not even a Jonin yet, just a Special Jonin.

Within the entire Hyuga clan, he is considered a relatively weak type.

The position of the main family...

He definitely can't save it.

Hiashi looked at him, his gaze cold.

"Why not? The main family members are lazy and corrupt. They and their descendants are all from the branch family. The branch family members are hardworking and make great contributions to the family. It is only right that their descendants become the main family members."

"If dividing the family property doesn't determine birth, can't we at least gamble on the next generation's birth?"

Hiashi's words left Hinata Teru speechless.

Below, the family members discussed among themselves, each hesitant and uncertain.

They were more incredulous, fearing it was a trap to lure them into making a mistake, given that the Hyuga clan's system had remained unchanged for centuries, only to suddenly change in this generation...

It was something they simply couldn't believe.

can.

What if it's true?

Everyone looked at Hyuga Hizashi.

Hizashi was undoubtedly the most prestigious branch family member.

Everyone trusted him.

happy Zhai sighed inwardly.

He really is an incompetent fool!

Hiashi was just one target away from being defeated, and Hyuga Teru jumped out impatiently, becoming the very object of Hiashi and Hizashi's attempt to establish their authority.

really.

The next moment, Hijiri stepped forward, filled with righteous indignation.

"Hyuga Akira, you bully my clan members all the time, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, enjoying the peace and status that your clan members sacrificed for."

"You always talk about the big picture and the greater good when you're talking about splitting up the family business, but now that you're the one splitting up, are you unhappy about it?"

His words were like a stone thrown directly into the hearts of the members of the branch family, instantly igniting their anger.

Yes!

These people...

In the past, they would often use the system of clan and family division to pressure them.

When it came to their turn to split up the family, none of them were happy about it.

"Yeah, why should we!"

"Why should we?! We also deserve the opportunity to become part of the main family; this is a right granted to us by the head of the family!"

"that is!"

The Hyuga clan was making a deafening racket.

Hinata Teru's face turned deathly pale.

At that moment, he finally realized he had done something foolish—

He handed a knife to Hyuga Hizashi, and then stabbed himself with it.

"Hyuga Teru, your abilities and achievements are known to everyone in the clan. Today, I will personally place the Caged Bird Seal on you. Do you submit?"

"I……"

Hinata Teru gritted his teeth.

He really wanted to say, "I disagree."

On what grounds?

Why should we be forced to separate into different families in our generation?

but……

In the end, he became timid.

Because of Hiashi's eyes, those were murderous eyes.

Secondly, my father and the others must have known about this beforehand. If they had a way to oppose it, they would have done so long ago. That's why Japan's attitude is so firm now.

Oppose it or die!

A pleading look flashed in his eyes: "I've lived half my life as a member of the main family, can't I..."

"Having lived half your life, you're still just a Special Jonin. Your Gentle Fist technique is even worse than that of a branch family member. You dare to talk about the main family's status?"

next second.

Hiashi appeared beside Hinata in an instant.

Then, his hair grew wildly, like needles piercing Hyuga Teru's major acupoints. Each acupoint was sealed, instantly rendering him unable to resist.

Her hair completely enveloped Hinata, weaving it into a cocoon-like state.

Immediately afterwards, Hiashi dragged him into the clan shrine.

No one dared to follow.

After several seconds, when Hiashi pulled him out, the familiar mark had appeared on Hinata Teru's forehead.

The Caged Bird Seal!

Hinata Teru's face was deathly pale, and he dared not utter a word.

The Japanese national football team is too strong!

In that instant, he barely had time to react before he was subdued. By the time he came to his senses, Hyuga Hiashi had already placed the Caged Bird Seal on him.

"Don't worry, you're not the only one going to split up; there are many more!"

"Of course, your children still have a chance this year..."

Hiashi continued to explain the Hyuga clan's new policy.

Those who had split up the family below cheered and jumped for joy, shouting in unison.

But elsewhere.

Hiashi's shadow clones, along with his loyal subordinates, went one by one to control the elders and members of the main family who had not yet arrived.

Although only the elders control the method to activate the Caged Bird Seal, no one can guarantee that these people won't pass it on to their own children, which is why Hiashi wants to control them.

and.

He secretly placed curse marks on unqualified people.

Standard: Jonin.

In Hiashi's eyes, a main branch of the family that cannot become a Jonin is a waste of the family's resources and is not qualified to stay in the main branch at all.

……

In the distance, the two stood in one place, their auras shielded by the surrounding amber, but through their respective ninjutsu, they could still get a general idea of ​​the situation in the distance.

"What a magnificent ceremony! The Hizu brothers have shown much more spirit than before."

"really."

Jingyan nodded slightly.

Have to admit.

After Konoha became strong enough, Hiashi's transformation and spirit were equally astonishing.

Then he smiled.

"There is one thing that Hiashi-senpai is truly much stronger than Fugaku-senpai."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly upon hearing this.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It's definitely not about strength. In terms of strength, the two are at most evenly matched, with Japan currently having a slight edge."

Over the years, after Kyohiko cooperated with the Hyuga clan, Hiashi's abilities have indeed been continuously improving; otherwise, Hiashi would not be as good as Uchiha Fugaku.

It's not about strength...

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly.

"You mean, his judgment?"

"Yes! Or rather, if Fugaku Uchiha had learned a few tricks about choosing sides and understanding the situation, I wouldn't have needed to clean up the mess left by the Uchiha clan."

"What a mess, hahaha!"

Orochimaru laughed loudly.

He wasn't laughing at Kyohiko, but rather at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

It can be said.

Orochimaru is the one who knows the Third Hokage and Danzo best.

He knew all too well how these two people viewed the Uchiha clan.

The current state of the Uchiha clan is the result of the arrogant plans of those two, especially Shimura Danzo. According to Danzo's calculations, in a few years, the Uchiha will only have two paths.

Either surrender completely.

Either be wiped out by Konoha!

These steps were intended to drive the Uchiha clan into a corner, but in Kyohiko's eyes, the current situation was an absolute mess.

ridiculous!

Orochimaru laughed so hard he leaned against the amber stone wall.

"Kyohiko, do you know what the biggest difference is between you and them in my eyes?"

"It's definitely not about strength."

Jingyan answered with a smile.

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

"Strength can be increased through various means, although it may not necessarily reach your level, but... in my opinion, it's not that important."

"Wasn't the First Generation Lord strong enough?"

"If it's just about strength, the Impure World Reincarnation technique can achieve that."

Orochimaru chuckled.

"I believe the biggest difference between you and these mediocre people lies in your vision and perspective!"

"They're always looking at one village, one place, including Jiraiya who kept saying he wanted to find a path to peace, but your vision is the entire ninja world!"

"Therefore, there are many things they cannot see or understand."

Orochimaru was deeply impressed.

Jingyan remained silent for a moment.

Although he had overestimated Orochimaru's abilities and intelligence, it turned out that Orochimaru's keenness still exceeded his expectations.

Vision and perspective.

This is indeed the biggest difference between me and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya.

They always believed that this was how the ninja world should be.

Including Hashirama Senju from back then.

People from multiple countries and multiple ninja villages interact in this way.

but……

Is it right to always do things this way?

Kyohiko looked into the distance, not answering directly, but smiled and said, "Then, Orochimaru-senpai, what about you?"

"I don't care."

Orochimaru said indifferently, "Unlike you, I don't have high pursuits and ambitions. My wish is to master the method of immortality and then continue to study the mysteries of ninjutsu."

"What if one day you discover that the truth about ninjutsu isn't actually that complicated, and it's not worth spending so many years pursuing it?"

Jingyan countered with a question.

Orochimaru remained silent.

He pondered for a long time, then finally sighed, "I might be very disappointed!"

When that time comes, he might voluntarily give up eternal life.

The loneliest thing is having no ambition.

Orochimaru shook his head.

"Let's go. The Hyuga clan should be fine now."

The Hyuga clan is now under the control of Hiashi and Hizashi; the Uchiha clan is the one that needs to be worried about.

Orochimaru took a few steps and suddenly said, "By the way, something is very strange."

"Uchiha?"

"Yes, it's been too quiet around the Uchiha clan. I think they might be preparing something. You should probably keep an eye on them."

Orochimaru reminded him.

The current Konoha is not what he had imagined, but it is indeed very good, and he does not want any changes to occur.

Jingyan nodded.

"I've been keeping an eye on the Uchiha clan. There's someone who seems to be a bit problematic. I'll have someone keep an eye on him."
