As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha

Chapter 15 Heroes

Moon.

In a secluded land, far removed from the ninja world.

According to the distinction between day and night, this should be daytime.

Don't worry about why people can live here; the Otsutsuki clan has been living here for thousands of years.

However, compared to the Hyuga clan on Earth...

The Otsutsuki main family did not use the Caged Bird Seal for the branch families, and what's even more absurd is that the number of people in the main family and the branch families is not much different.

Unlike the Hyuga clan, which at least appears to be united, the Otsutsuki clan on the moon has always had a conflict between the main and branch families.

This can also be seen as the future that the Hyuga clan might develop into without the caged bird.

In fact, at first, the Hyuga clan head, like outsiders, thought that the branch family of the Hyuga clan must hate the main family to the core.

But after taking office, he saw a different picture.

Although the family members complained, they did not resort to underhanded means to launch a coup or secretly leave unregistered bloodlines to plot a rebellion and overthrow the main family, given their overwhelming numerical advantage.

Chief Richeng's process of winning over people's hearts went quite smoothly.

There were those who were unwilling to accept this, and naturally there were schemers, but their numbers were limited, and by now, they had been persuaded by Chief Richeng with reason.

Furthermore, with absolute confidence in his future strength, Hinata Hiromasa has abolished the Caged Bird Seal ritual for newborns. With this multi-pronged approach, Hinata is an impenetrable fortress.

Some people are like that; when they have been ruled for a long time, even the slightest favor is considered an immense kindness.

Moreover, the benefits brought by Hyuga Hiroki's rise to power are far more than just a little bit.

He could sense that the respect shown to him by both the branch family and the main family was genuine.

Those who showed disrespect were beaten into respect, and those who still showed disrespect were killed. This combination of kindness and severity perfectly describes Chief Richeng.

So now.

When Makoto saw that scene in the distance, he was filled with emotion and quickened his pace.

under night.

Of course, the Otsutsuki clan might also consider it to be noon.

an open space.

Several eight- or nine-year-old children were currently surrounding a five- or six-year-old child.

"Over here, over here!"

"No, it's this way!"

"Come and catch me! If you catch me, I'll buy you some sunflower seeds."

"."

At first glance, it seems like normal playful banter.

Upon closer inspection, the child in the middle had a completely dark hole, clearly indicating that he was blind!

He was being teased by the people around him, running back and forth following the sounds, and occasionally falling down because he couldn't "see" the ground, which made the other children laugh.

Given the limited space on the moon, and the millennia of solitude spent gazing upon the ninja world, the members of the Otsutsuki clan must have possessed some kind of eccentricity.

These children from the main branch of the family would take pleasure in bullying the children from the branch family who were born blind.

Little did they know that beneath those dark pupils lay a deep-seated hatred for the main family.

His father told him to be patient, and he obeyed his father's orders.

How could he, burdened with the responsibility of creating the future, fall here?

This is his secret.

It was also the secret behind the family division.

After multiple tests, he was the most suitable person.

His existence must not be detected by the main family.

So he continued to endure it here, choosing to stay with these naive children and be teased by them.

Is it almost time?

These people must be getting tired of playing soon. Their parents will probably call them home for dinner in a little while.

The children running back and forth wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

Just as he was counting down, a pleasant, loud voice reached his ears.

"The idiot Zhu who split up the family?"

The child who was hit covered his face in bewilderment.

"Fuck your mother!"

Uncle Richeng gets into character very quickly, slapping the brat's face again.

"Are you kidding me? Why did you hit me? Go ahead and hit my mom! See if my dad beats you up!"

The naughty child felt extremely wronged.

"I'll fuck you!"

The Otsutsuki Sea Pillar was furious. He reached out and grabbed the bewildered Otsutsuki Toneri, pointing at his dark pupils.

"They're already blind, and you're still messing with them?"

asshole!

A tone of pity for the weak!

Sheren struggled, seemingly trying to get off Uncle Zhuzi's grasp, but how old was he? He was easily subdued by Uncle Zhuzi's counterattack.

"Isn't the blind man from the branch family just someone the main family can tease?"

A mischievous kid next to me pouted and emphasized something unhappily.

God knows how twisted this clan has become. Is this the kind-hearted main family that Hamura spoke of?

Chief Richeng's eyes held a subtle expression; he felt that the destruction of the Hamura branch on the moon was truly deserved.

Not only these children of the main family, but also the hatred hidden beneath Otsutsuki Toneri's dark pupils, were clearly visible to him.

Ok.

To view the ninja world with a distorted perspective is itself a distorted thing.

While the ninja world created by the Sage of Six Paths is indeed quite abstract, his younger brother's methods of governing his clan are not much better than his brother's.

Chief Richeng, who had initially been somewhat playful, sighed slightly, feeling a chill in his heart.

It's hard to imagine what terrible things might happen to such a group if they were to survive.

That's how it is.

Let him be the good man and let this clan come to an end.

With a casual reach, a kunai appeared in his hand, which he then shoved into Otsutsuki Toneri's hand.

"It doesn't feel good to be played, does it?"

"You must really want to kill these people who judge crimes based on bloodline, right?"

The chilling words sent shivers down Otsutsuki Toneri's spine.

When he used the secret technique he learned from his father to "see" Hinata Himeko with his empty eye sockets, his mind went completely blank for a moment.

Under the cover of night, the child took the kunai and walked step by step toward the bullies who had been picking on him.

A look of terror appeared on their faces, but what made them even more desperate was that, without knowing when it started, their bodies had become uncontrollable, and their legs seemed to belong to someone else.

I wanted to run, but I'm still standing in the same place!

Blood stained the white robes of the Otsutsuki clan. Toneri returned the kunai and stiffly turned to leave.

He killed someone; he killed the child from the main family who had bullied him.

He wanted to tell his father the news.

While someone's illusion magic couldn't make Hamura and Hagoromo fight to the death like Kaguya's, manipulating a child was far too easy.

"This child is the future of the branch family. In order to ensure that there are no problems with the creation of the world after the destruction of the ninja world, the branch family will definitely protect him to the death."

Even if it's not guaranteed, if the main family's child is killed, the division of the family must come up with a plan.

If, during the standoff, the corpse of the Ōtsutsuki sea pillar falls from the sky...

"Tsk, I'm fucking rotten."

Hinata Hijiro chuckled, feeling that he had been in Konoha for too long and that the boxing techniques he had learned from the old village chief were surprisingly sharp, making him quite adept at doing bad things.

It's also possible that his mindset changed after serving as the clan leader for several years.

Just as he said, those who opposed him were beaten into submission and feared by him, but some people were destined never to have the chance to speak up in their entire lives.

He put in a lot of effort to make Hinata have only one voice.

Now, in order to provide a stable rear for the clan, he can allow these "innocent" people to kill each other, which is the responsibility he should shoulder as the clan leader.

But if you think about it carefully, without his intervention, these people might be doing things that destroy the world in the future.

If you put yourself in his shoes, he becomes a hero who saves the world.

Those people in the ninja world all owe me, the clan leader, a life!

After thinking it over, Hyuga Hisei left behind new teleportation coordinates, and then left behind a shadow clone disguised as the Otsutsuki Sea Pillar, giving the order to keep a low profile, focus on investigating the future of the branch family and the main family, and not to force himself to use the Pillar's identity, and to try not to expose himself.

God knows how much pressure it takes to pretend to be someone you're not in a place where everyone is giving you the cold shoulder.

The shadow clone nodded solemnly, saying that he would commit suicide to send a message so that the main body could rest assured.

Nichisei himself couldn't possibly stay here and watch forever. His brothers, Fugaku and Fugaku, might make a move tomorrow. Rather than the inevitable conflict between the branch family and the main family, he was more interested in seeing how the old village chief would respond.

The next moment, the patriarch of the Richeng clan's gaze sharpened considerably, and his figure slowly disappeared into the spatial vortex.
