The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"The Kirigakure Jonin - Ao!" The Great Elder spoke succinctly on behalf of the clan leader.

"Didn't Qing, that guy, follow my instructions and return to Kirigakure, but instead went deep into the territory of the Land of Fire, encountered a lone member of the Zong family, and took away the Byakugan?" Cang Si thought in surprise.

At that time, Cang Si's entire attention was focused on Uchiha Obito, so he did not think too much about Ao. Unexpectedly, history still happened as usual.

However, Cang Si was not sure when Ao got the Byakugan, and Ao had been frightened by Obito at that time, so Cang Si did not think much about it.

I didn't expect that guy would be so bold as to do such a thing secretly in the Fire Nation alone.

"Master clan leader, can you tell me what happened?" After coming to his senses, Cang Si looked at the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke and asked.

"This is what happened." Following the narration of the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke, Cang Si also understood the whole story.

The cause was that the next generation heir of the fifth branch of the main family was playful and felt it was too boring to stay in Konoha, so he secretly ran away from Konoha and wandered alone in the Land of Fire.

After all, the main family is not against going out. If you don't have enough strength, you can just let a few stronger members of the branch family follow you.

But, this

Not at all!

People are just beginning to be able to roll their eyes when they are eighteen or nineteen years old, but in the village, the use of the eyes is restricted and cannot be done at will.

So, he thought about leaving Konoha and going out for a walk.

However, this guy is not like Cang Si, who is the type who lives a life of luxury.

Although he doesn't have much strength, he is very arrogant. He thinks that the Hyuga clan is the biggest clan in the village, and the branch family always supports him and gives in to him.

Let him think that he is very strong and has nothing to fear.

Just like that, this idiot with no strength, no brains, and no experience met the Kirigakure Jonin Ao who wanted to try his luck in the Land of Fire.

Needless to say, one is a senior ninja from the Kirigakure Anbu, and the other is a member of the main family of the Hyuga clan who has always lived a life of luxury and only opened his Byakugan when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

Not only was this guy beaten to death on the spot by Kirigakure's Qing, but he also had his Byakugan taken away from him.

If other Konoha ninjas hadn't happened to pass by the scene, this guy would have lost his second Byakugan.

"So that's how it is. Then, Patriarch, since things have already happened, what is the purpose of holding this meeting?" After sorting out his thoughts, Cang Si asked.

After all, the dead cannot be resurrected. Cang Si actually didn't take the death of that idiot and the loss of his White Eyes very seriously.

Just take it away, he even traded his Byakugan with Orochimaru.

In Cang Si's personal opinion, he doesn't take the suspected leakage of the Byakugan very seriously.

You deserve it!

That's why Cang Si hates these pampered useless people in the Zong family.

Among the main family of the Hyuga clan, except for a few members, most of them are only at the level of mid-level ninja if we really talk about hard power.

However, they hold the title of Jonin!

These people were promoted through the backdoor, which is considered as Konoha's preferential treatment to the main family of the Hyuga clan.

Anyway, for the Konoha high-level officials, the main family controls the branch family. Giving the main family some benefits and allowing them to become jonin through the back door will not cause any loss to Konoha.

On the contrary, this will also enable the Konoha high-level officials to gain the support of the Hyuga clan's main family. As long as the Hyuga clan's main family supports Konoha, the branch family will definitely have to obey the wishes of the main family.

This is the current relationship between Konoha's high-level officials and the Hyuga clan's main family.

So normally, Konoha will not force the Hyuga clan's main family to assign tasks, it all depends on their willingness.

Therefore, over the years, Cang Si, as the head of the Hyuga clan, has always been very free. As long as he doesn't want to do any missions, he can stay at home.

If he wanted to, Konoha would not stop him.

Therefore, this is also one of the main reasons why Cang Si and other members of the Hyuga clan have never gotten along well.

After staying with this group of guys for a long time, Cang Si was afraid that sooner or later, he would become like them and become a waste!

Just like this idiot who not only died but also lost his white eyes.

After Cang Si asked this question, a burst of whispered discussions immediately rang out in the originally quiet conference hall.

Although everyone spoke in low voices, Cang Si still vaguely heard a general idea.

The central topic of discussion was related to two people.

Chapter 288 I object!

These two people were discovered as soon as Cang Si entered the conference hall.

Because they were so special, all the others were sitting upright in their seats, but the two of them were kneeling with their heads on the ground, sitting right in the middle of everyone.

A man and a woman, both are jonin from the Hyuga clan's branch. The man is called Hinata Chima and the woman is called Hinata Kiyokana. They are a couple.

The reason why Cang Si remembered their names was because in his opinion, these were some of the most powerful members of the Hyuga clan.

Although they are members of the branch family, they are also one of the few members of the clan who can comprehend the Hyuga clan's secret technique - Kaiten - on their own.

Both of them are three years older than Cang Si, but they are also considered to be of the same generation.

"Now, what we want to discuss is how to deal with Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana. They were the ones who were responsible for protecting the children of the fifth elders that day." The clan leader Hinata Ryusuke said in a low voice.

The words of the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke also made Cangsi certain that this was actually a meeting on how to judge the two senior ninjas from the branch family.

"Clan leader, and all the elders of the main family, although Senma and Qinghua failed in their duties, their crimes do not deserve the death penalty. I hope you can spare their lives!" A senior ninja from a branch of the Hyuga clan shouted anxiously.

"Yes, clan leader, just a light punishment and a severe warning will be enough. Besides, the main responsibility does not lie with these two people." Another branch family's jonin stood up and said.

As for why this branch family jonin would say this?

It turned out that the fifth lineage heir who died and had his eyes gouged out had deliberately placed a bet on Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana in order to get rid of them who had been following him.

He really wants to die, and no one can stop him!

"No! There must be an explanation for my son's death. If the two of them had been more careful, my son would not have been able to sneak out of Konoha. So, clan leader, I think they should be buried with him!" The fifth elder said with red eyes, staring at Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana who didn't even dare to raise their heads with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to eat people.

He had originally been prepared to retire and pass the position to his son in the past two years, but he did not expect this to happen. One can imagine the anger in the Fifth Elder's heart.

Although he knew that the responsibility for this matter mainly lay with his son, his dignity as the head of the family did not allow him to acknowledge it.

Well, in this case, putting the blame on the two branch family jonin members who were responsible for protecting his son that day is undoubtedly the best option.

The main family cannot be wrong, the only one who can be wrong is the branch family. This is the idea of ​​the fifth elder!

"I agree with the Fifth Elders' opinion."

"Me too."

“The split family must take responsibility for this.”

"If you can't protect the members of the main family, what's the point of splitting up the family?"

In an instant, a group of other clan members responded.

The few who wanted to express their opposition fell silent when they saw the main family members who were united in wanting to execute the two branch family jonin.

"Master clan leader, Senma and Kiyoka's child was just born this year. If they die, what will happen to their newborn child?" At this time, Hyuga Hizashi, the clan leader's son and representative of the Hyuga clan's branch, pleaded.

Thinking of his newly born son, Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hizashi felt a surge of empathy.

After Hyuga Hizashi spoke, the other jonin from the branch families all pleaded with the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke.

They no longer had any hope in the rest of the clan members. After all, no one had stood up and voiced their opposition.

In that case, the only person they could ask for mercy was the clan leader who had not expressed any opinion from beginning to end and had an ambiguous attitude.

As for those silent members of the clan, they were regarded by all of them as tacitly agreeing with the opinions raised by the fifth elder.

"Hiashi, tell me what you think. How do you think we should deal with Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana?" At this moment, the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke turned his eyes to his eldest son who was kneeling beside him, and who was also the next clan leader he had originally planned to appoint.

Hearing his father

After asking the question, Hinata Hiashi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his father to suddenly ask him.

At this time, all the branch family members present at the meeting turned their eyes to Hinata Hiashi.

Facing the expectant gazes of all the branch family jonin and the pleading eyes of his brother, Hyuga Hiashi made up his mind.

After thinking for a while, Hyuga Hiashi said, "Father, although Chihiro and Kiyokana are at fault in this matter, I don't think they deserve the death penalty.

Moreover, they are the Jōnin of the Hyuga clan. If they are executed like this, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Konoha high-level officials.

In addition, this also weakens the strength of our Hyuga clan.

So, I think they should be severely punished but their lives should be spared.”

After Hinata Hiashi finished speaking, those members of the main family who had been waiting and watching and had not expressed their opinions, all nodded.

Hinata Hizashi also gave his brother a grateful look.

"Master Patriarch, I think what the young patriarch said makes sense."

"Yes, I agree with the young patriarch's opinion."

"Indeed, we must take Konoha's views into consideration."

At this moment, the branch family's jonin, who had been collectively disappointed, all showed expressions of joy on their faces.

Even Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana, who were kneeling on the ground in the center, couldn't help but tremble.

If they could live, why would they think about dying? After all, their child had just been born.

"No, he must be executed. Otherwise, what should we do if something like this happens again in the future? I strongly disagree with just severe punishment!" The situation was originally very good, but unexpectedly it suddenly turned out like this. The fifth elder was extremely angry.

It was only because the person who spoke was the young clan leader Hinata Hiashi, otherwise he would have confronted him long ago instead of just expressing his opposition.

"Fifth Elder, you are too radical. As long as the main family does not leave Konoha casually in the future, this kind of thing will not happen." The second elder said.

Soon, the conference hall broke into a fierce argument.

Needless to say, the thirty or so branch family jonin would definitely support not executing Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana, but only severely punishing them.

However, they do not have the power to make decisions. As a branch family serving the main family, they can only wait for the main family members to discuss and reach a conclusion.

Cang Si did not participate in their discussion from beginning to end. He just crossed his arms, closed his eyes and dozed off.

It’s not that Cang Si did this on purpose, but since Cang Si became the third elder, this has been his normal state when attending clan meetings.

He didn't express any opinions and just listened from beginning to end. After the meeting was over, he was the first to leave.

It was as if he was just an outsider, a listener.

So, this time, Cang Si's behavior seemed normal to others. After all, they were used to Cang Si never participating in discussions on such things.

After looking around, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke sighed and couldn't help showing a disappointed expression.

"Why is father disappointed?" This was the question in the mind of Hinata Hiashi, the only one in the audience who saw Hinata Ryusuke showing a disappointed expression.

Hinata Hiashi, who originally thought that his answer was perfect, really didn't know why his father, the clan leader, showed a disappointed expression to everyone.

Yes, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke was not only disappointed with the execution faction, but also had a bad face towards the severe punishment faction.

For a moment, Hinata Hiashi began to try hard to recall what aspects of himself he had not taken into consideration.

Logically speaking, he has already taken into consideration the village, the main family, and the branch family. Is there anything more important than these three?

The heated discussion, like that in a vegetable market, lasted for about ten minutes. ..

"Everyone, please be quiet. Since there is any dispute about this matter, please express your opinions by raising your hands." After calming down, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke spoke.

Things like raising hands to vote have nothing to do with the separation of families. Otherwise, all the separation families would be severely punished.

Even if all the clans are in favor of execution, there is no need for a vote. The difference in numbers between the two sides can be seen at a glance.

Therefore, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke's words were only directed at the main family.

All members of the branch family are very aware of this point. They know that what happens next has nothing to do with them and they just need to wait for the results.

Therefore, all the jonin from the branch families are now nervous and expectant.

In fact, the relationship between the Hyuga branches is still very good. After all, they all serve the main family.

This time, when a member of the main family died and lost one of his Byakuyan, all the members of the branch family wanted to unite and save Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana.

However, they can only raise their own demands. As for the final judgment, it is still up to the clan to decide.

"As the clan leader, I will not express my personal opinion. Now, those who support the execution of Hinata Chima and Hinata Kiyokana please raise your hands." Clan leader Hinata Ryusuke said without any sadness or joy.

"Swish"

In an instant, more than a dozen members of the clan raised their hands.
