Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 484 A Few Things About Hinata Hyuga

Hinata Hyuga.

Princess of the Hyuga clan.

Of course, this is no longer the Warring States period; she was just the daughter of a clan leader and could not be called a princess.

However, Hinata Hyuga is indeed very much loved by everyone in the Hyuga clan.

This is manifested in the fact that many members of the Hyuga clan would greet her very respectfully before leaving.

Although there has been no concrete statement, at least on the surface, this is indeed the official stance.

Yua didn't have any major issues with the Hyuga clan. After all, while the clan was somewhat fence-sitters, to be honest...

That was also for the sake of their family.

Just as Yua poured all his heart and soul into Konoha Village, even though Urashiki Otsutsuki only destroyed half of the commercial street, Yua was heartbroken.

Konoha Village is Yua's masterpiece, just like Yua's child.

Similarly, the Hyuga clan was also the object of Hiashi Hyuga's full dedication, and the object of his every effort to make the Hyuga clan stronger.

Therefore, for Hiashi Hyuga, if there were a way to make the Hyuga clan stronger, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.

Although it seems like there's a problem now, in any case, this was probably Hiashi Hyuga's lifelong wish.

However... Yua wants the Hyuga clan to disband, so it's not surprising that Hyuga Hiashi is hesitant and conflicted in the face of this situation.

Hinata Hyuga saw all of this.

She is already 11 years old, which theoretically means she is no longer a child.

If this were the Warring States period, this age would already be enough to send someone to the battlefield.

If this were during Tobirama Senju's time, she would have been on the battlefield at this age.

She's no longer that naive little girl.

Although she was gentle by nature, during her two years at the ninja academy, she saw many things that she had never noticed before.

Moreover, she learned many things that her parents and relatives had never told her before.

For example, she originally had an older brother.

Moreover, he was an outstanding graduate last year.

While it's not difficult to obtain the title of Outstanding Graduate, it's certainly not easy either.

After all, a score of 90 or above in all subjects is highly valuable.

Especially after Youya made mathematics a compulsory subject, it became even more difficult to graduate with honors.

But her brother, Hyuga Neji, was able to do it.

And this Hyuga Neji...

No one had ever told her before that it was actually her brother.

Moreover, they are very close relatives, like cousins.

Hinata Hyuga was thus forced to consider a problem.

She, the so-called princess of the Hyuga clan...

Is their status truly prestigious?

Today, she decided to have a serious talk with her father.

Hinata Hyuga knocked on the door of her father's study.

"Enter."

Once inside, I saw Hiashi Hyuga holding a folder and frowning in thought.

"Father..." Hinata Hyuga began.

"Hmm? Hinata, what's wrong?" Hiashi Hyuga asked.

"I want to ask... about Hyuga Neji..."

Hinata was undoubtedly somewhat afraid of her father.

Hiashi Hyuga pursed his lips, looked up at Hinata with his Byakugan, and said, "What do you want to ask about Neji?"

Hinata: "Neji...is he my older brother?"

Hiashi Hyuga was taken aback, a complex expression flashing across his face.

But he finally nodded: "Yes, he is your brother."

Hinata quickly pressed on, "Then why have I never heard Father mention this before?"

Hiashi Hyuga took a deep breath, looked at Hinata, and said coldly, "Who told you to ask this?"

Hinata was startled, then looked timidly at Hiashi Hyuga: "I... I wanted to ask myself..."

Seeing his daughter like this, Hiashi Hyuga sighed deeply and helplessly: "Is that so... Never mind, these things aren't exactly secrets."

As Hyuga Hiashi said.

The fact that the twin brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were born into the main family and the branch family respectively, simply because of their birth order, is inherently very unfair.

Therefore, there were rumors circulating about this matter in Konoha Village for a period of time.

However, the Hyuga clan was quite powerful at that time, so they didn't pay attention to these voices.

Or rather, although Yua was in power at that time, Konoha Village's development was far from what it is today.

Therefore, the various ninja clans viewed Yuya's various plans with a sense of schadenfreude.

Of course, if he were to go back in time, Hiashi Hyuga wouldn't choose to go against Yua back then.

It is true that revolution requires bloodshed.

However, Yua's reforms to Konoha were of a moderate nature.

Although the effects are minimal at first, they are stable.

The sweeping reforms from the outset resulted in bloodshed, which, while removing obstacles in their path, also destroyed most of Konoha's fighter jets.

This is not what Youya wanted.

What Yuya wanted was always just a strong Konoha.

Besides, there are other options besides moderate reforms, so why choose a bloody reform that is thankless and difficult?

Yuya expanded the scale of the operation, distributed the profits to other ninja clans to stabilize them, and then continued to expand the scale, although these ninja clans have now come to their senses.

They used to account for at least 60-70% of Konoha's total GDP, but now it's less than 3%, which speaks volumes.

The plate was too big; even if these ninja clans wanted to eat it, they wouldn't have the capacity to do so.

Therefore, many people who consider themselves clever start to engage in double-dealing.

For example, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.

The two brothers had a good relationship; in fact, it could be said that they were very close.

Even now, that remains true.

Therefore, after Hyuga Hiashi cleverly separated from Hyuga Hizashi, their authority was divided.

Simply put, the Hyuga clan's amusement park and school will continue to operate, and the outstanding young people from the branch families will be tasked with building their own businesses.

Whether you become an official or a businessman.

Hiashi Hyuga was providing support to these people from behind, ensuring their escape route.

The results of this effort have been remarkable. Now, 23 members of the Hyuga branch family are engaged in business, and 71 members have secured stable government jobs.

But here's the problem...

What will you think about after entering the civil service system?

Or rather, what would the vast majority of people think?

They couldn't possibly be actually doing anything, could they?

What's the point of doing the work? Will it lead to a promotion?

Yes, for most people, the first thing that comes to mind after entering the civil service system is promotion.

however……

You Ya was on guard against this move.

These people have worked for so many years, and every year when they are given their performance evaluation, the worst they ever get is above average, and they have received countless top scores. Their promotions are only minor, and it is impossible for them to climb any higher.

Why?

The Hyuga clan is still behind you. How stupid would Yuya have to be to give you a high-ranking position?

Are you waiting to die?!
