Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 48 Hyuga Neiyuan Discusses Tall People

"Waaaaah!" It would have been better if she hadn't been comforted, because the moment she was comforted, Tsunade broke down, reaching out to pull Hyuga Ningen into her arms and then bursting into tears.

Her younger brother died first, then her lover passed away. If it weren't for the village she could rely on, she would have collapsed long ago!

Even so, her heart was already riddled with holes!

But she was one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade, and countless people watched her and idolized her.

She had to be strong; how could she cry!

Only today did Tsunade realize that she once had a chance to save the situation.

It turns out that the only missing step was the process of sealing the wound?

So, all this suffering and despair actually stemmed from my own incompetence?

Ning Yuan gently patted Tsunade's shoulder and sighed.

History never has a happy ending; behind countless regrets lie countless "what ifs".

Stirrups and saddles are such simple things that any blacksmith could figure them out at a glance, yet they weren't invented until the Eastern Han Dynasty.

If the Qin Dynasty had this, its territory could have expanded even further!

Liu Bei's ambition to restore the Han Dynasty and rebuild China was within reach, but Lü Meng crossed the river in disguise, Mi Fang stood idly by, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da murdered Zhang Fei, and a great fire broke out in Yiling.

The Yuan Dynasty launched several attacks on Japan, but all were thwarted by the kamikaze winds. As a result, the Ming Dynasty learned from the Yuan Dynasty's experience and listed Japan as a country that it would not conquer.

But it was clearly just a matter of the wrong season. If we had taken Japan, the Iwami Silver Mine alone would have been enough to extend the Ming Dynasty's life by a hundred years. There would have been no Yangzhou Massacre, the Jiading Massacre, or the subsequent century of humiliation.

"Do you feel that all of this is your fault? If you had discovered such a simple technology earlier, you could have saved many people. Perhaps many people wouldn't have died, and the situation would be completely different now?" Hinata Ningyuan said softly.

"Huh?" Tsunade, who was crying, froze.

"How can you blame yourself? You didn't start the war, and you didn't kill anyone. You've been desperately trying to save everyone, haven't you? Your mind was filled with the daily suffering and the wounded everywhere. How could you have time to think?"

"What do you know!" Tsunade said irritably, "And you're trying to lecture me!"

She stopped crying, but didn't push Hinata Ningyuan away. Before, she thought it was her imagination, but after hugging him again, she realized that it wasn't her imagination.

This child has a very pleasant scent and a calming aura that makes people unconsciously lower their guard and instantly feel relaxed.

Bright, clear eyes

[A Clear Mirror and Still Water]

Wings of Truth

A doctor's heart is full of compassion.

These characteristics not only enhance the effectiveness but also elevate one's overall image.

In particular, the "Healer's Compassion" attribute increases the affinity between patients and their families by 30%.

As luck would have it, Tsunade also suffers from hemophobia and is a patient as well.

Tsunade calmed herself down and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At that moment, remembering my situation, I instantly felt embarrassed.

He doesn't think I'm a fragile person, a crybaby, does he?

How can I ever hold my head high in front of him again?

I need to have a chat with him, tell him some of my exploits, and let him know how powerful I am!

"I've heard of you. 'A wife should be like Kurenai Yuhi, and a ninja should be like the Second Hokage.'"

Hyuga Ningyuan nodded. It was not surprising that Tsunade knew about this. There were countless examples in modern society that proved that talking nonsense was the simplest way to make someone remember you.

For example: Giao.

For example: Here comes the little flying stick.

For example: blanching!

For example: It is our duty to rebuild the glory of LCK.

Many people, after ten years of live streaming, are no match for a single witty remark from someone else.

"Marry a wife like Kurenai Yuhi, and a ninja like the Second Hokage" is a vulgar saying, and one that has been proven true by history.

Many people don't know Liu Xiu or the Grand Magus, but they definitely know the saying, "If you're going to marry, marry Yin Lihua."

"You admire the Second Hokage a lot?" Tsunade asked again.

The second generation is a good entry point. If the second generation is his idol, then all I need to do is reveal my identity, and he will immediately prostrate himself before me.

"I don't like it!" Hinata Neon shook his head without hesitation. "But there aren't many choices, so let's just pick the best of the worst!"

"Hmm, so you really are... eh?" Tsunade was about to reveal her identity when she suddenly sensed something was wrong: "Wait, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'choosing the tallest among the short'? Are you saying the Third Hokage was short? Or the First Hokage?"

As she spoke, Tsunade even brandished her fist: "I advise you to watch your words, or I'll beat you up!"

Hyuga Neon nodded and said, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular."

"Uh-huh!"

"I just think that the village chiefs of the five great ninja villages, plus Amegakure, Kusagakure, and Sora, are all..."

"Uh-huh!"

"They're all short!"

"Huh?" Tsunade's eyes widened instantly. "Hey, you brat!"

It's one thing to say that there are three short people in Konoha, but you even went so far as to mock the village chiefs of the entire ninja world!

Who do you think you are?!

She was so angry that she burst out laughing, and instead of bringing her fist down, she didn't want to.

"Alright, alright!" Tsunade nodded. "You're saying all village chiefs are short, right? Then tell me, who isn't short?"

As if she had just thought of something, Tsunade asked, "You're not going to say it's some kind of ancestor of your Hyuga clan, or Madara Uchiha, are you?!"

A powerful figure who isn't the village chief seems to be Uchiha Madara.

"Among the ancestors of the Hyuga clan, they are nothing but bones in a tomb. Uchiha Madara had ambitions that were higher than the sky but thinner than paper, but at least he was a person with ideals and aspirations, so he was a little better than a dwarf..." Hyuga Ningyuan shrugged.

"Uchiha Madara's ambitions are higher than his fate?" Tsunade immediately laughed. If Uchiha Madara knew that someone was evaluating him like this, she didn't know he wouldn't be able to laugh.

"So, in your heart, who is the tallest?" Tsunade asked.

"The Second Hokage counts as half, Orochimaru counts as one, and the rest are nothing," Hyuga Ningyuan waved his hand, dismissing them as insignificant.

Actually, there's another person, Yahiko and Nagato, who are also quite noteworthy, but he doesn't have a reason to know either of them right now, otherwise he should also be nominated!

"I can understand if you say the Second Hokage is half a Hokage, but why should Orochimaru be considered a full Hokage?" Tsunade laughed. "In your eyes, the Second Hokage isn't even as good as Orochimaru?"

As soon as Hyuga Ningyuan said that, she understood. This child probably didn't understand the greatness of the Second Hokage at all. Instead, he had heard some stories about Orochimaru from somewhere and therefore regarded Orochimaru as his idol.

But doesn't Tsunade know who's stronger, the Second Hokage or Orochimaru?

"The Second Hokage is indeed inferior to Orochimaru!" Hyuga Ningyuan nodded seriously. "In terms of talent for researching ninjutsu alone, the Second Hokage may indeed be stronger than Orochimaru, but in other aspects, whether it's research philosophy, village governance, or even one's mindset and vision, Orochimaru far surpasses the Second Hokage!"

"Haha." Tsunade completely believed that Hyuga Ningyuan was joking.

Orochimaru has absolutely no skill in village governance.

Looking at Tsunade grinning foolishly, Hyuga Ningyuan sighed. This was the tragedy of transmigrators.

Having a panoramic view of the timeline, he certainly knew Orochimaru's greatness.

Orochimaru conducted scientific research to achieve immortality, while the Second Hokage conducted scientific research to deal with the Uchiha clan.

This approach instantly became inferior.

Moreover, even after becoming Hokage, the Second Hokage did not let go of his prejudice against the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru not only let go of his hatred for the Uchiha, but he even let go of his prejudice against them based on gender.

Everyone who comes here has to praise him as awesome.

As for the level of village management, this can be seen from the Chunin Exams in later generations.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed clan ninjas day after day while supporting commoner ninjas. He put the suppression of clan ninjas into practice, but his support for commoners remained merely lip service.

It's also possible that after Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato emerged among the common people, he no longer dared to support them.

In short, the Chunin Exams still rely on clan ninjas to win, and ten of the Konoha Twelve are clan ninjas.

And what about Orochimaru's students from the Sound Village?

Apart from Kimimaro, all the others were commoners!

It's important to understand that Konoha is a village that has been established for sixty years and has a very strong foundation, yet its talent pool has dwindled to this extent.

The Sound Village has only been established for less than ten years!

Patting Tsunade's thigh, Hyuga Ningyuan said in a mature tone, "You may not understand now, but time will tell!"

"Hey, you little brat! You just stumbled upon a medical technique by chance, why are you acting all high and mighty?" Tsunade grabbed Hyuga Ningen and draped him across her lap. "If you're so capable, show me another medical technique!"
