Chapter 259 Hinata Hyuga

"Wait, what does that mean by 'not even one of Madara Uchiha's men'? Could it be that there's someone else behind Zetsu? And Madara Uchiha isn't the final mastermind?"

Jiraiya pointed at the light screen, but his gaze was fixed on Obito.

It was obvious that Jiraiya wanted to get some information about Zetsu from Obito.

Not only Jiraiya, but everyone else also wanted to know information about Zetsu.

"Well"

Obito felt immense pressure under the intense stares of everyone.

Having been back in Konoha for so many days, he still hasn't gotten used to being a Konoha ninja again.

After all, he knew that what he had done was not something a human being would do.

To escape, he would go to Lin whenever he had a spare moment.

Only with Lin did he feel at ease and not so awkward.

"Actually, I don't know what Zetsu's true identity is either. I only know that Madara said it is the embodiment of his will."

"The embodiment of will?"

The Third Hokage smacked his lips, a hint of disdain on his face. "Even the First Hokage didn't have an incarnation of will. How could Madara Uchiha possibly have one? I think he was probably fooled by this Zetsu."

"Yes, I think so too."

Obito nodded obediently.

Anyway, he didn't know Zetsu's true background, so he would agree with whatever the Third Hokage and others said.

"Alright, we'll discuss the matter of Zetsu later."

Jiraiya coughed lightly, then drew everyone's attention to Hinata Hyuga.

"I'm curious why this girl named Hinata Hyuga is referred to as the Crown Princess by the light screen."

"The meaning of 'Crown Princess' is easy to understand. In layman's terms, it refers to the wife of a noble heir, such as a Daimyo."

Orochimaru was very interested in this topic. He looked around at the people and continued, "Hinata Hyuga is a ninja and a member of the main branch of the Hyuga clan. It's impossible for her to marry those nobles. So here, 'Crown Prince' should refer to the successor or descendant of our village's Kage."

"Then, the only ones in Konoha who meet this condition are Asuma and Naruto."

"No, no, no, how could I possibly have anything with Hinata?"

Hearing that he was being talked about, Asuma shook his head frantically under Kurenai's amused gaze.

"I knew it couldn't be you. With your smoking, drinking, and big beard, who else but Hong would want you?"

The Third Hokage didn't hold back in criticizing Asuma.

Asuma's lips twitched, and she decided to ignore her old man, turning to say something to Kurenai Yuhi.

It looks like he's swearing an oath, pledging his loyalty to Kurenai Yuhi.

"Excluding Asuma, that leaves only Naruto."

"Hmm, it can only be Naruto. It can't be that little brat Konohamaru, can it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their attention to Naruto, who was still unaware of what was happening.

Seeing Naruto's bewildered expression, Kushina rubbed her forehead and said with a headache, "Why did Minato and I, such shrewd people, end up with such an idiot son?"

I've met Hinata Kushina before; she's a very beautiful and cute girl with a great figure.

Kushina was overjoyed that a girl like that would like Naruto.

She was afraid that the appearance of the light screen would ruin such a good marriage because of her stupid son.

"No, starting tomorrow, we must let Naruto and Hinata spend more time together."

Thinking of this, Kushina whispered to Minato, "Minato, if I wanted to get Naruto into Kurenai's team, do you think Kakashi and Kurenai would agree?"

"Kushina, calm down. Their agreement is useless; the Hokage's approval is required."

"Aren't you the Hokage? My Fourth Hokage."

"The current Hokage is Jiraiya-sensei."

"Then I'll do it now."

"Kushina, don't rush."

Minato quickly stopped Kushina, who was about to go find Jiraiya, and said swiftly, "Actually, if you want Naruto and Hinata to have more interaction, you don't need to put Naruto in Kurenai's class. Having the two classes go on missions together is also a good option."

"You're right. No wonder you were once Hokage; your mind works really fast."

Faced with Kushina's praise, Minato wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and replied with an awkward laugh, "Ha, it's alright."

Hinata was born into the Hyuga clan, known as "Konoha's strongest clan."

The strongest?

Sasuke curled his lip in disdain.

She is the eldest daughter of the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.

According to the official guidebook, the Hyuga clan is on par with the Uchiha clan and is one of the oldest clans in Konoha.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

The Hyuga clan possesses one of the three great dojutsu, hailed as the most outstanding bloodline limit in early settings: the Byakugan.

The best bloodline limit?

Sasuke curled his lip in disdain once again.

To protect this precious bloodline limit, the Hyuga clan was internally divided into the main family and the branch family.

As the heir to the family lineage, the main family inherits the complete power of the Byakugan.

[Those who separate from the family are branded with a cursed mark called the Caged Bird Seal, which not only subjectes them to the control of the main family but also weakens their Byakugan power.]

The mission of the branch family is to protect the safety of the main family.

Even siblings born of the same mother can have vastly different fates simply because of the order in which they were born.

This system might seem incredibly absurd to us.

However, within the world of Naruto, this cruel system effectively prevented the Byakugan from being leaked.

system?

Sasuke curled his lip in disdain once again.

[To get back to the main point, Hinata is the eldest daughter of the main branch of the clan, and naturally, she has shouldered the clan's mission since childhood.]

[With high hopes placed on her by her father, she trained until late at night every day, living a life of relentless pressure.]

Hinata doesn't actually like this kind of life. She's kind-hearted and gentle, and hates fighting and killing.

But this was the fate of the main family, and she had no way to change it. She could only accept it and desperately cultivate, striving to become stronger.

On Hinata's third birthday, the clan held an important gathering, where they placed the Caged Bird Seal on Hinata's four-year-old cousin, Neji.

The brother and sister, who should have lived in harmony, became estranged because of the cursed seal.

Later, Neji's father sacrificed his life to protect Hinata's father.

This incident completely transformed the relationship between the two siblings from that of family to that of enemies.

This twisted family, these perverse rules, were suffocating Hinata.

On a snowy night, Hinata ran away from home alone.

On this very day, she met Naruto for the first time in her life.

"Such a large family, yet they can't even keep an eye on three- or four-year-old children."

Sasuke pouted again.
