What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

Hiashi Hyuga was speechless for a moment.

“Your Majesty, this has always been a tradition of the Hyuga clan.”

An elderly-looking member of the main family suddenly spoke up, “The branch families protect the main family; that’s their fate.”

"That's it!"

To everyone's surprise, Di Yan nodded.

They seem to agree with this person's statement.

All the members of the Hyuga branch family present looked somber for a moment.

So even His Majesty the Emperor cannot change this so-called tradition?

However, Di Yan's tone suddenly changed.

His gaze, like a precise probe, instantly locked onto a figure in the crowd... Hyuga Neji.

It is worth mentioning that after that battle...

Neji Hyuga, Lee, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame were all released.

According to regulations, they should already be undergoing military training.

"I seem to remember,"

Di Yan's voice remained steady, but carried a hint of cold skepticism:

"My orders seem to include all ninjas under the age of twenty-five, regardless of whether they belong to the main family or branch family, they must report to the new camp and receive unified reorganization and training."

He pointed at Neji, his tone playful:

"If I remember correctly, this Hyuga Neji is the right age."

"He's not exactly an 'important figure' who needs to protect the main family all the time, is he?"

"Then why is he here now?"

"Or……"

Di Yan's gaze swept across the faces of all the Hyuga high-ranking members present, and his smile turned dangerous. "Your Hyuga clan, from top to bottom, are all planning to outwardly comply but inwardly defy us."

"You've ignored my orders...?"

Hiashi Hyuga broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

His face became extremely ugly.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to defend himself.

It was indeed the idea of ​​some elders in the main branch of the family to keep Neji.

It is both a subconscious desire to control the division of the family and a manifestation of the subconscious desire to control the division of the family.

This is also a form of passive resistance to the new policies of Emperor Yan.

at this time.

The senior clan elder couldn't contain himself any longer. Leaning on his cane, he stepped forward and offered a "admonition" tinged with a hint of condescension:

"Your Majesty is wise! Although Neji belongs to a branch family, he is still an important force in protecting the main family."

"Therefore, we must always obey the orders of the main family; how can we leave so easily?"

"Furthermore, during the previous... changes, my Hyuga clan has always remained neutral and has never been an enemy of His Majesty."

"Please, Your Majesty, consider..."

He hadn't finished speaking...

The smile on Di Yan's face vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a frozen indifference and boredom.

"Noisy."

Two words were uttered as if shards of ice.

The next second, without any warning!

Di Yan's figure vanished from the main seat like a ghost!

Almost at the same time.

He appeared right in front of the clan elder who had spoken!

So fast!

None of the Hyuga clan members had time to react, and they didn't even have time to fully activate their Byakugan!

Di Yan's right hand shot out with lightning speed.

It doesn't use any ninjutsu, just the purest speed and power!

puff!

A sickening, muffled thud, like flesh being pierced!

Di Yan's hand actually pierced directly into the elder's chest.

Then he suddenly pulled it out!

He ripped out a still-beating, warm heart and held it in his hand!

The elder's expression froze in astonishment and disbelief.

Eyes widened.

He subconsciously looked down at his empty chest.

He then looked at the heart that belonged to Di Yan in his hand.

Then it fell straight backward.

It slammed onto the floor with a bang.

There was no more life.

The entire reception room fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and extremely cruel method.

A strong stench of blood filled the air.

Tick ​​tock...

Tick ​​tock...

Blood from Di Yan's heart dripped from between his fingers.

It sounded particularly jarring in the quiet Japanese-style room.

Di Yan coldly waved his hand away.

He casually tossed the heart beside the elder's corpse, as if it were just a piece of trash.

His cold gaze slowly swept over the Hyuga executives, who were pale with fright and trembling all over.

Finally, the light fell on Hiashi Hyuga's pale face.

"Now, is there anyone who still wants to negotiate with me or offer their grievances?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

"I am not making a request of you."

“I am giving orders to you 4.7.”

"Either, execute all my orders unconditionally. Whether it's the main family or a branch family, those who should go to the battlefield should go to the battlefield, and those who should join the army should join the army."

"Either..."

Di Yan's gaze swept over the trembling Hinata and Hanabi, finally returning to Hyuga Hiashi.

His tone was calm, yet it carried an overwhelming sense of bloodshed.

"The Hyuga clan has no reason to exist."

"Main family? Branch family? Tradition? What do I care!"

Absolute violence brought about absolute silence.

All the pride, all the traditions, all the scheming...

All of this seems so pale and laughable in the face of a naked threat of death.

Hiashi Hyuga looked at the still slightly twitching corpse on the ground, then at Di Yan's emotionless eyes.

He knew that any hesitation would lead to utter destruction.

He knelt down with difficulty, almost collapsing, his voice trembling with fear:

"The Hyuga clan... will obey His Majesty's decree!"

The clan members behind him did not hesitate for a moment.

He hurriedly knelt down as well.

Just kidding, didn't you see the clan leader kneeling?

The members of the Hyuga branch family present even showed a hint of relief on their faces.

Hyuga Neji looked at that figure who was as bright as the sun at its zenith.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be wavering.

This person is the murderer who killed his comrades and destroyed Konoha.

I should naturally hate him.

But this moment.

He seemed to have given the Hyuga branch family a renewed hope for equality.

This left Neji unable to discern his own feelings for him.

...

78. Kill all the main family members; personal secretary Shizune.

Leaving the Hyuga clan's territory, the pungent smell of blood still seemed to linger faintly in the air.

The gentle smile on Di Yan's face had long since vanished.

Instead, a profound indifference prevailed.

He knew that relying solely on temporary deterrence was far from enough.

We must have follow-up, ruthless measures to completely crush any remaining illusions.

He gently raised his hand and summoned Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Izumi, who followed him like shadows.

According to the original plan.

Izumi Uchiha will lead Hikaru Uchiha to the border of the Land of Lightning to intimidate the Hidden Cloud Village.

Meanwhile, Tetsuka will accompany Might Guy towards the Land of Earth.

However, the Hyuga clan led the way by outwardly complying while inwardly resisting.

And other ninja clans either openly or covertly observed and delayed.

The departure was forced to be postponed by one day.

"The plan has changed. I'm giving you an extra task."

Di Yan's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable killing intent.
