Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

The wall isn't so easy to ride.

"I voluntarily joined the Dark Division."

Suppressing his excitement and with trembling hands, Hyuga Hizashi slowly removed his mask: "The Hyuga clan has something to discuss with the Hokage. If there are any unspeakable difficulties..."

"You can tell me, and I will write a report and promptly report to the Third Generation Lord!"

When Hyuga Hizashi opened his mouth.

Hyuga Tenzo had already sensed that something was wrong.

Although Hyuga Tenzo had always strictly enforced the status and treatment of Hizashi according to the standards of the branch family in order to maintain the ruling and management system of the main family and the branch family.

Since his youngest son had been forced to work as a beast of burden, the other members of the clan were naturally not allowed to object!

This was the best endorsement Hyuga Tenzo had designed for the clan rules, and the effect was remarkable.

It's just that the youngest son suffered a bit, but in return, the rest of the branch family could bear it, and the main family's evaluation of him improved significantly.

Such skill is worthy of a seasoned, caged bird warrior.

But after all, Hyuga Hizashi was still his son, and you could tell from his voice.

Hyuga Tenzo's heart skipped a beat, and his fair eyes slowly widened!

His youngest son joined the Dark Guard without informing him.

"Hizashi, it's you!"

Hyuga Takashi's eyes widened, an unnamed rage rising within him. He roared, "Why are you only coming back now! I told you to go check and report back immediately, are you deaf?!"

Damn it, I was actually smiling at him just now!

I belong to the main branch of the family!

Hyuga Takashi was unusually angry. As a member of the main family who had no real ability, his sense of superiority came from his absolute control over the branch family.

This control has lasted for more than 20 years and has never failed.

His anger did not only represent himself; many of the clan members present also felt resentful.

You, a member of a branch family, dare to privately discuss cooperation with the Hokage?

If there's any talk, it should be our clan that talks; you're just the ones carrying out the work and the bargaining chips!

He even went to the card table himself?

This is a shameful betrayal!

Hyuga Takashi's gaze quickly swept over the reactions of the other main families. He made up his mind and prepared to continue his attack.

This is his true duty.

—As a main branch family without any real power, they can only become mouthpieces for spreading unpleasant rumors.

Lacking both power and diplomatic skills, he could only occupy this niche.

"What's his name?" Sakumo Hatake, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, pointing at Takashi Hyuga.

Hinata Takashi's face stiffened, and a whole bunch of words stuck in his throat.

"Hyuga Takashi." After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hizashi replied with a smile.

“I’ll remember you.” Hatake Sakumo nodded. “I’ve worked in the Anbu for a long time, and this is the first time someone has directly asked the Hokage’s direct Anbu to report to the ninja clan…”

"Now that I've heard it, I can't pretend it didn't happen."

Sakumo Hatake's tone was calm, but carried a hint of coldness: "Takashi Hyuga, are you asking the Anbu to serve you? Are you very dissatisfied with Hizashi joining the Anbu?"

Hyuga Takashi, who was just angry, softened immediately when he met Hatake Sakumo's gaze.

"No! That's not what I meant..." Hinata Takashi stammered, "I just..."

He stammered for several seconds without managing to say anything coherent.

Hyuga Tenzo witnessed this scene and shook his head slightly.

While closed management is beneficial for the continuation of the Hyuga clan, it does indeed lead to a lack of perspective and social interaction among clan members, and could even be described as immature.

"But there's no way around this shortcoming. The Hyuga clan must establish a main branch and a secondary branch; the ancestral laws must never be changed!"

"As long as we train Hiashi well, all of this is necessary for the continuation of the family line!"

Such a thought flashed through Hyuga Tenzo's mind as he came to Hyuga Takashi's rescue:

“I’m very sorry, Xiao has no other intentions. He never leaves the clan’s territory and has no concept of the Dark Division.”

"He is ignorant, please forgive him, I will definitely discipline him severely."

At that moment, Hyuga Tenzo noticed the white dagger at Hatake Sakumo's waist, and his expression turned solemn.

Was it that man?

It seems his youngest son really sold him for a good price…

"Is that so?" Sakumo Hatake nodded. "I understand."

Sakumo Hatake was very satisfied with Hizashi's performance, which is why he was willing to stand up for him.

Hizashi didn't say that Hiruzen Sarutobi invited him; instead, in front of his clansmen, he emphasized that he had voluntarily joined the Anbu.

This is the 'pledge of allegiance'.

This left a way out for the power struggle between the Hokage and the main branch of the family, allowing him to openly take the blame for the matter.

Well done.

"Hizashi, do your best in the future. I have high hopes for you." Hatake Sakumo patted Hyuga Hizashi on the shoulder, and his figure disappeared like a ghost.

"So fast!" the Hinata members present exclaimed inwardly.

Even with your eyes wide open, it would be difficult to keep up with that speed, right?

Even if you can see it clearly, your body probably won't be able to react in time...

Hyuga Hizashi stood in the center of the reception room, scanning the expressions of the Hyuga ninjas present.

No more bowing our heads, no more humility.

Meanwhile, the Hyuga main family, whose eyes met his, were naturally filled with anger, but Hatake Sakumo's question to Hyuga Takashi was still ringing in their ears.

The ANBU mask that Hyuga Hizashi wore on his face was still in his eyes.

For a moment, wherever Hyuga Hizashi's gaze fell, the main family members all snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

At that moment, the eyes of all the Hyuga branch family members present held a deep sense of envy…

What a magnificent and free sight this is!

Finally, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Tenzo, father and son, locked eyes.

"I'm going to rest now. Please don't send anyone to clean my room from now on," Hyuga Hizashi said slowly. "If you feel you're causing trouble for the clan, I can move out."

"How could this be, Hizashi..." Hyuga Tenzo's knuckles bulged beneath his sleeves, yet he maintained his composure.

"Your family supports you, how could they not grant these requests? Haha!"

Hyuga Hizashi nodded slightly: "Thank you for your understanding."

This action further fueled the anger of the clan elders present…

What do you mean?

That's the head of the family, or your father!

What do you mean by treating me as an equal?

Step out of the reception room.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Hyuga Hizashi suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter was loud and hearty, yet it also carried a faint hint of a sob.

Laughing loudly, I stride out the door; today I will not be a caged bird…

The laughter echoed throughout the Hyuga clan's territory.

It ignited the anger of the main family, but it also made all the branch families remember it firmly.

Hyuga Hizashi looked up and saw that on the Hokage Rock in the distance, the statue of the Third Hokage seemed to be covered with a layer of gold in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Third generation sir..."

Hyuga Hizashi bowed reverently towards the Hokage Rock:

"Thank you for your kindness! I have no way to repay you except with my own life!"

On the other side of the village.

Fugaku Uchiha, along with members of the security detail, was also reporting the details of today's events to the current head of the clan, Isshin Uchiha.

Uchiha Isshin puffed on his pipe, smoke billowing around him, his brow furrowed.

As Uchiha Setsuna's younger brother, he was the spokesperson for the Uchiha hawks.

The news brought by Fugaku made him very unhappy.

How can an old man possibly rejuvenate?

"They used a forbidden technique from the previous Hokage?"

Uchiha Isshin angrily exhaled a puff of smoke and cursed, "Damn it, that damned Tobirama Senju, even in death he won't stop!"

Fugaku chuckled.

Within the Uchiha clan's territory, this phrase is practically a given among older hawks.

You scold someone if their pupil strength declines, you scold a child if their ninjutsu training isn't going well...

Fugaku sometimes wondered if these old men even blamed the Second Hokage for their constipation.

"Clan Chief Isshin, let's put aside Tobirama Senju for now, we need to face the problem squarely!"

Fugaku Uchiha asked seriously, "Do you think anyone in our clan can rival the strength displayed by the Third Hokage?"

"His disciple, Orochimaru, has a ninjutsu that even a three-tomoe ninja cannot see through."
