The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

No, absolutely not!

Either I break these old customs and practices between the main family and the branch family in the future, or I will never leave any descendants!

Hinata Souji made another secret decision at this moment!

And when the servant approached with Hinata Souji, they finally caught the gaze of the two brothers in training.

"Ah, it's Cang Si. I heard from father that you fainted due to over-training, so father increased the intensity of my usual training."

The one who spoke was Hyuga Hiashi. They were all members of the main family and saw each other every day, so Sorasuke and Hiashi also knew each other.

"Lord Cang Si, how is your recovery going?"

Hyuga Hizashi also spoke immediately. Compared to Hyuga Hiashi of the main family, the predecessor Soji and Hyuga Hizashi of the branch family had only met a few times.

From the way they address Cang Si, one can feel the difference in status between the two brothers.

Chapter 5 Clouds of War

"Ah, I've fully recovered now. Didn't the young clan leader and Hizashi go to the ninja school today? I remember you were supposed to graduate next year."

At this point in time, Cang Si was still very surprised that the two brothers did not go to school but instead practiced at home.

"The whole school is closed today, so I have nothing to do, so I stay at home with Hiashi. My father doesn't allow us to go out and walk around freely recently."

The two brothers had actually sensed the strange atmosphere in the village recently. Both ninjas and civilians had expressions of uneasiness on their faces.

Even Konoha's guards patrolled until the early morning every day, and Anbu ninjas could be seen running through the streets and on rooftops from time to time.

After listening to what Hyuga Hiashi said, Souji was very sure that Konoha was already preparing for the upcoming Ninja World War.

On the other side, in the Hyuga clan's meeting hall, the nine members of the main family all had solemn expressions.

Because the Third Hokage had just issued orders to all ninja clans to prepare for war, all that remained was for each ninja clan to go back and notify their clan members.

As for the Hyuga clan, orders coming out of the Hokage Building are usually discussed by the elders of the main family first, and then the representatives of the branch family are summoned to make the final decision.

In the meeting hall, three members of the main family, including Hinata Kumokawa, are already over fifty years old, while the remaining six, including the clan leader, are still in their prime.

"The Third Hokage and the Council of Advisory Elders have requested that each clan send at least one-third of their ninjas to prepare first. If a war breaks out, each clan must mobilize at least three-quarters of their ninjas to participate in the war. What do you think of this order?"

As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Ryusuke immediately notified the family's main elders to come to the clan's residence for a meeting after attending the Konoha high-level meeting this morning.

"Hey, is there going to be another fight? I wonder how many of our Hyuga clan members will die on the battlefield this time."

This is the elder of the sixth lineage in the clan, of the same generation as Hyuga Kumokawa. Since the next generation has no ninja talent, he can only continue to shine in the position of elder, hoping that his grandchildren will have a bright future. If he passes it on to the next generation now, he can only be treated as a rich second generation and cannot expect his son to contribute to the family after inheriting the position of elder.

"Even if a war breaks out, our main family doesn't have to go to the front line directly. We have our branches to rush to the front for us."

This is the opinion of the elder of the second lineage. His father died in the First Ninja World War. Although he has the talent of a ninja, he is currently just a Chunin. He is basically the kind of person who stays in the main family and waits for death.

"I agree with the Second Elder's opinion."

"Me too."

After the elders of the second vein expressed their opinions, the elders of the fourth and eighth veins also expressed their agreement.

"I disagree! As a member of the main family, we should guide the branch families. In recent years, our main family has basically not produced any powerful ninjas. If this continues, even if our main family can rely on the caged bird to control the branch families, in the eyes of other ninja clans in Konoha, our main family will really become useless people who eat and wait for death. I suggest that members of the main family should also be ready to fight at any time!"

This is the advice of the Seventh Vein Elder who still retains the heart of a ninja.

"I am more in favor of the Seventh Elder's opinion."

The elders of the fifth vein also expressed their opinions afterwards.

Then a heated debate broke out in the meeting hall.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

Seeing the elders arguing endlessly, Hyuga Ryusuke, as the clan leader, could only come out to mediate.

Afterwards, several elders who were arguing turned their eyes to the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke, and then looked at the elders who had never expressed their opinions.

Because the remaining three elders who did not express their opinions are the oldest in the council hall and also have the highest prestige among the elders.

These were the three elderly men over fifty years old that Cang Si had just seen in the meeting hall, including his grandfather Hinata Kumokawa.

Even clan leaders have to respect their identities, after all, they are elders.

Let me say here that there is no so-called difference in status among the elders. The status of the first elder and the eighth elder are the same. It is just for the convenience of distinction, so the ancestors of the clan decided it this way.

"The first elder, the third elder, the sixth elder

Elder, do you three have any opinions? "

Hinata Ryusuke, the clan leader, asked on behalf of the other young elders.

"Since war is inevitable, we, the Hyuga clan, must face it in the best possible condition and never let the village and the enemy underestimate us."

"We, the Hyuga clan, are also part of Konoha. What the Sixth Elder said is very right. Since the Third Hokage has issued the order, we can just select Genin, Chunin, and Jonin in proportion. Stealing women and playing tricks is not advisable."

The Sixth Elder and Hyuga Kumokawa expressed their opinions one after another.

"As for whether to send members of the main family to the battlefield, my suggestion is to participate in the war, but not in the early stages of the war, but in the later stages of the war. After all, as a member of the main family of the Hyuga clan, how can you avoid bloodshed? Sending them in the later stages can also ensure the safety of the main family's Byakugan."

Finally, the great elder put forward his opinion.

The three elders of the older generation looked at each other as if they had telepathy. After all, they were all old men who had experienced the brutal First Ninja World War together, so they still had some vision.

The three elders were indeed people who had lived longer, and their arrangements for the clan members completely appeased the conflict between the two factions.

Going to the battlefield at a later stage can not only allow the clan members who want to participate in the war to fulfill their wish, but also allow the clan members who do not want to go to the battlefield in person to safely gild themselves and gain merit. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

"Okay, then after this meeting, we will follow the words of the First Elder, the Third Elder, and the Sixth Elder. Is there any point for you?"

As the clan leader, Hyuga Ryusuke was very satisfied with the proposals of the three older elders, and could even be said to find no loopholes at all.

Afterwards, several elders in the meeting hall exchanged a few words in a low voice, and finally the elders of the two factions unanimously agreed to this arrangement.

"Well, the task of making arrangements for the tribe members to prepare for war will be handed over to the three elders."

In this regard, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke still trusts the three elders of the older generation more.

"Chief, I have a small suggestion."

When the meeting was about to end, Hinata Kumokawa spoke again to the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke.

"Oh? Third Elder, do you have any other ideas? Please feel free to speak up."

At this time, the clan leader and several other elders all looked at Hinata Kumokawa. They really couldn't think of anything that was missing, so they all looked confused.

Hinata Kumokawa took a deep breath and said, "Chief, elders, my personal suggestion is that if anyone in the tribe volunteers to fight, they can be given priority, whether it is the main family or the branch family."

After hearing what Hinata Kumokawa said, there was silence in the meeting hall. No one expected Hinata Kumokawa to make this suggestion.

This suggestion cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad either. It should be said that it has both advantages and disadvantages.

The positive side is that it allows other people in Konoha to see the enterprising spirit of the entire Hyuga clan, especially when members of the main family voluntarily apply to go to the battlefield. This will further boost the morale of the branch family members on the battlefield and reduce other ninjas' criticism of the Hyuga main family.

As for the disadvantages, we are afraid that those tribesmen who actively apply for the position will become arrogant. To put it bluntly, they have no idea about AC. It may even lead to discord in the original team and cause trouble to teammates. In this case, we are not afraid of good opponents, but we are afraid of bad teammates.

Finally, after unanimous discussion, everyone agreed with the suggestion put forward by Hinata Kumokawa.

Because no one raised any objections, this suggestion had no impact on those clan members who did not want to go to the battlefield. Those clan members who wanted to join the war were even more supportive of this suggestion. As for the two elders of the older generation, they also acquiesced to this proposal.

"That's it, let's notify the branch family's representatives to hold another meeting this afternoon and we'll finalize this matter."

Regarding the upcoming war, no one in the main family, from the patriarch to the elders, has ever considered the opinions of the branch family. To them, the branch family only needs to accept the assignment.

Even a few more open-minded elders never put the branch families on the same footing as them. The most they could do was to fight for some benefits for them, which was the greatest kindness they could offer.

Perhaps this habit has been deeply rooted in the blood of every clan member. They have never felt that there is anything wrong with it. Isn't everything as it should be?

In Grandpa

During the meeting between Hyuga Kumokawa and the clan leader and the elders of the main clan, Hyuga Souji kept asking the Hyuga Hiashi brothers about some rules and regulations of the ninja school.

After all, I will enter the Ninja School in a year, so it’s always good to know some things about the school in advance.

By the time they start school next year, the two brothers Hyuga and Hiashi should be old enough to graduate from the Ninja School.

Hyuga Soji was born in the 23rd year of Konoha, while Hyuga Hiashi was born in the 19th year of Konoha, with a difference of 4 years between them. In this era which has just ended the Warring States period about 20 years ago, most students in ninja schools enter ninja schools at the age of 6 and graduate at the age of 10.

In the original work, after the Third Ninja World War, the rules and regulations of the Ninja School were changed to a six-year education system, so most of the new generation of ninjas graduated from Ninja School at the age of 6.

The reason for the two-year education gap is that the ninjas of this era learned and practiced a lot of knowledge and ninjutsu in war.

Because war could break out at any time, there was not much time left in childhood to study, so many children matured very early, and some even had blood on their hands at a young age.

Since the establishment of the Ninja Village, the minimum age for ninjas to go to the battlefield has become higher and higher. You should know that during the Warring States Period, there were records of 6-year-old children going to the battlefield. This is definitely exploitation of child labor!

For a ninja of this period, living to the age of 50 was considered a long life. Too many hidden injuries were left in their bodies in their early years, and it was natural that sequelae would occur as they got older.

After asking the Hyuga brothers about the school rules and regulations, Hyuga Souji expressed his desire to join the brothers' training.

"Okay, but Cang Si, you have to do it within your ability. We are four years older than you, and you may not be able to keep up with our training."

After thinking about it for a while, Hyuga Hiashi agreed. In his opinion, Soji was only a little over 5 years old, and he and his younger brother Hizashi had already studied in the Ninja School for 3 years, so he might as well be the one guiding Soji.

Since Hyuga Hiashi, the elder brother and young patriarch of the main family, agreed, then Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of the branch family, would certainly not object.

What's more, Hyuga Hizashi's status is lower than that of Hyuga Souji of the main family, so he has no qualifications to raise any objections.

"Souji, you better watch carefully. I will fight with Hiashi using the Byakugan and Gentle Fist. How much you can learn from here depends on you."

After saying this, the two brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi both opened their Byakugan, and then their eyes turned bluish-white, veins bulged around their eyes, black marks appeared in their pupils, and then they simultaneously assumed the starting posture of the soft fist.

To others, if it weren't for the conspicuous caged bird mark on one of them's forehead, they would really think someone was looking in the mirror.

Hinata Souji, who was watching this scene, also had a serious look in his eyes!

Chapter 6: Japanese Foot vs Japanese Difference

"Soft Fist - Eight Diagrams Sixteen Palms 2."

The voices of the two people rang in Cang Si's ears at the same time.

Hinata Hiashi took the lead in launching the attack. He put the five fingers of his right hand together and took a step forward with his right foot, with his palm facing Hinata Hizashi's left shoulder. With his other hand, he put his left hand in front of his chest with his palm facing forward, to prevent Hizashi from taking the opportunity to attack his chest.

Seeing his brother launching an offensive, Hyuga Hiashi did not choose to fight back, but responded with defense. He first took a step back with his left foot, while retracting his left shoulder, and used both hands to block Hyuga Hiashi's right hand.

"Two palms."

And Hiashi seemed to have anticipated all this. He stretched out his left hand, which was originally used for defense, and split the fingers into two, and pressed two acupoints on Hiashi's right arm.

The moment the acupoints were pressed, Hizashi's right hand trembled twice, which was a sign of chakra blockage.

"Four palms, Hiashi shows his true strength!"

I don't know if it's because of the presence of Hyuga Souji, a member of the main family, today, but Hyuga Hizashi's performance is worse than usual.

Normally when the two brothers practiced against each other, although Hinata Hizashi was mainly on the defensive, he had never been caught in a flaw so quickly by Hiashi.

Rizu suddenly became a little angry about his brother's letting the game go!

Although when the two brothers usually fought, Hiashi could see that Hiashi was simply letting the opponent win, but at least he could use 7 or 8 points out of 10 points of his strength. But today, he might not even be able to use 5 points of his strength!

"Master Hiashi, I..."

He was interrupted by Rizu before he could finish his words.

"If you don't want to be punished by your father tonight, then give me your all!"

Rizu really hated his brother's incompetence and also hated the rules of this family!

This can be said to be anger at their lack of fighting spirit!

After hearing what his brother said, Hizashi knew that if he continued to go too far, he would definitely anger the brother who had taken care of him since he was a child.

"Two palms."

Similarly, Ri Cha also pressed two acupoints on Ri Zu, but this was because Ri Zu did not resist.

"Brother, you..."

I don't know what to say about this.

"Now we're even, let's move on."

Rizu expressed his happiness for his younger brother who finally had the fighting spirit.

"Four Palms 2"

"Eight Palms 2"
