Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 64 Whirlpool

When Yua came out of the Hyuga main house, Hyuga Niyo, the former clan head who was deeply loved by the Hyuga clan, personally saw Yua off, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"Oh dear, is the agent really not staying for dinner at my Hyuga clan today? My Hyuga clan does have some signature dishes."

You Ya chuckled and replied, "No, no, there are still many things to take care of. I think the old patriarch also wants to see the facilities completed as soon as possible."

"Once everything settles down, I'll definitely go to Hyuga's place and ask for a jug of good sake. Old clan leader, don't be stingy then!"

"Hahaha~ Definitely, definitely!"

Yuya and Hinata Nichiyo walked out of the inner room in a cheerful manner, while Hinata Kazuko's mouth was agape in an "o" shape.

When did these two become so close?

Yua and Hinata Niyo both selectively ignored Hinata Kazuko standing to the side.

Yuya smiled and said goodbye to Hinata Nichiyo. The two made a promise once again that they would hold a celebration banquet once everything was settled.

After Yuya left, Hinata Niyo's smile vanished.

He stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, watching Youya's departing figure, seemingly lost in thought.

"Clan, clan chief, grandpa?" Hyuga Kazuko was even more stunned as she looked at the old clan chief, whose expression had changed drastically. Weren't the two brothers getting along just a moment ago?

Why does You Ya have this expression as soon as she leaves the old clan leader?

Hyuga Niyo turned around and saw Hyuga Kazuko. His expression relaxed slightly, but then tightened again.

"Kazuko, come here, Grandpa has some questions for you."

Hinata Niyo asked Hinata Kazuko about everything concerning Yua, even though Hinata Kazuko didn't know much, only remembering that she often stirred up trouble between Yua and Uchiha Yuu at school.

However, this was enough for Hyuga Nichiyo.

"Elder Chief, why are you asking these questions?" Hyuga Kazuko asked, somewhat bewildered.

Hinata Nichiyo smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Hinata Kazuko could leave.

Hyuga Nichiyo knew that Yua's proposal was very attractive, but whether it could actually generate hundreds of millions of ryo a year was still questionable.

It's impossible for him to believe such a huge number just because You Ya opened his mouth.

If he were that naive, he would never have become the head of the Hyuga clan.

Moreover...

If it were Hashirama Senju who said this, he would definitely believe it, whether he wanted to or not.

But the person who said this was just a fourteen-year-old kid, so how could he possibly be so sure about this?

After pondering for a long time, Hyuga Niyo raised his head and ordered his clansmen, "Go and invite Chief Sarutobi over."

It's not like betting on both sides.

Unlike the Uchiha, the Hyuga were closely watched by Tobirama Senju due to historical issues.

Hinata doesn't have this problem.

Moreover, the current head of the Hyuga clan led his people to the front lines with the Second Hokage. No matter what, the Hyuga clan should not be targeted by Tobirama Senju.

Therefore, the Hyuga can perform actions that the Uchiha dare not do.

Just like...

They openly contacted other families and made it appear as if they were united.

Of course, if the profits after the dust settles are indeed as high as Youya said, or even less, even if it's only half...

Then the Hyuga clan is the most loyal and number one family under the command of the god Kin-Yoo since ancient times.

Sarutobi?

Haha, even if Sarutobi comes to power, can he bring such great benefits to the Hyuga clan?

No?! If you can't, then what are you even saying?!

Upon returning to the Hokage's office after leaving the Hyuga clan's territory, Yua received a report from Uchiha Kagami. After Yua left, Hyuga Nichiyo sent someone to invite members of the Sarutobi clan to the Hyuga clan for tea.

The other party had no intention of hiding anything.

Uchiha Kagami is definitely angry about this.

This is clearly a two-faced act. Was the pleasant conversation with Youya just now just a facade?!

You Ya laughed a few times, waving his hand and saying it was okay.

Yua showed no surprise or anger at the Hyuga clan's actions.

To be honest, didn't the decision made by the old Hyuga clan chief also make things easier for Yua?

In any case, the Hyuga clan did agree to Yua's proposal to give up one-third of their territory.

Since Hinata has agreed, she won't go back on her word.

If the Hyuga clan elder hadn't done something like this, Yua truly wouldn't know how to deal with the Hyuga clan.

Yua certainly has a million ways to make Hinata spit out what he has eaten, but if Yua really does that, what will the other families think of him?

You just gave the clan land to Youya, and then you used it to build facilities and made a fortune. Shouldn't someone else get a share of that money?

If Youya doesn't provide that, its credibility will be greatly challenged.

Simply put, no one will dare to associate with him anymore.

But it is different now.

If you keep playing like this, then I'll target you a little in the future. As long as I don't go too far, no one can say anything about it.

It was you, Hyuga, who were the first to play the double game, and the first to openly bet on the next Hokage successor.

Nara messed things up, and I spent ten million to expose them. Now the Nara clan is caught in a dilemma, not really following me, not really siding with me.

You're betting on me while flirting with other families; if I target you, don't complain later.

Uchiha Kagami couldn't understand it, but Yua did.

The overall situation in Konoha is definitely stable and improving, and the environment in Konoha is peaceful, so the struggle among these clans for the position of the Third Hokage can go a little too far.

Not for any other reason than to show Tobirama Senju his stance.

We, his family, are not convinced by the idea of ​​him being the third generation leader; we have better candidates.

As for who this person will be, they'll discuss that internally.

This attitude is very important. Often, if you don't express your stance, even if others know what you're thinking, they will definitely ignore you.

If you don't express your own attitude, how can you expect others to respect your opinion?

Of course, although Yuya knew the truth in her heart, she still had to put on a show.

So, Yua asked Uchiha Kagami to spread rumors outside that Yua had smashed a table in the Hokage's office.

Yes, this is to prepare him for future actions against the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Niyo felt even more disdainful after learning about it.

He's just a kid after all, he can't keep his composure, and he reacted so badly just because he was betrayed.

How can someone like that be appointed as the Third Hokage?

As expected, the Third Hokage must be selected from among the elder families of Konoha so that Konoha can develop better.

Only in this way can Konoha continue to grow strong.

Hmm... that way their family can maintain a high position in Konoha...

……

Putting those aside for now, with the Hyuga clan agreeing to Yua's proposal and becoming the first to try something new, Yua no longer needs to push his own plan as hard as before.

If, after a few years, other families see the benefits of Youya's plan and are still able to remain passive...

Then Youya wouldn't take the initiative to contact them.

If you can sit still, then sit still. What does it have to do with me?

If all else fails, I'll build hospitals, schools, newspapers, plazas, landmarks, and so on, starting from the outermost part of Konoha's outer city closest to the inner city, right around the inner city walls.

Do you really think I need you?

What the hell?!

That's what Youya thought, and that's what she did.

Then, one day at the end of February in the twentieth year of Konoha...

Mito Uzumaki sent someone to invite Yua.

She came to ask for help.

Because the Land of Whirlpools, where the Uzumaki clan resides, was attacked by the Hidden Mist Village in a war.
