The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

During the past four years of carrying out missions, he only returned to Konoha occasionally and left in a hurry. Many of the elders of the main family had been replaced, and Cang Si was not familiar with them.

"Cang Si, Elder Yunchuan has passed away. Don't be too sad. Get over it as soon as possible. The family still needs you." After the meeting, the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke kept Cang Si and spoke to him alone.

"Don't worry, clan leader. I'm fine now. I will carry out my grandfather's wish before he died." Cang Si answered firmly.

"That's good, Cang Si, no, now I should call you Elder Cang Si." As soon as he opened his mouth, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke seemed to suddenly remember something and changed his words with a smile.

Cang Si's entire face instantly fell at the word "elder".

"Chief, you should just call me Cang Si. I always feel uncomfortable when you add the word 'elder'." Cang Si said with a helpless smile.

I didn't expect that the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke also had such a non-serious and teasing side.

This reminded Cang Si of his childhood, when the clan leader and his grandfather teamed up to trick him.

Moreover, the word "elder" is usually used to describe older people. I am only 14 years old now, and it feels like I am old when I am called that.

"Hahaha, you have to get used to it. Then I'll just call you Cang Si in private."

In this regard, Cang Si had no choice but to accept it.

"What I want to say is, Cang Si, if you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help if I can. Even if I can't help, you still have the family to back you up, so you can rest assured." Putting away his smile, the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke said seriously.

Cang Si was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Master Patriarch, why are you so nice to me?"

Cang Si didn't quite understand. If his grandfather was still alive, it would be fine. It could be said that they had a good personal relationship.

But now, as a 14-year-old elder of the main clan, Cang Si felt that there was no need for clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke to go this far.

"Why?

It's just because Elder Kumokawa and I both think you can change the current situation of our Hyuga clan." This is what Hyuga Ryusuke thought in his heart.

But he didn't tell Cang Si.

Instead, he said in a different way: "Because you are also a member of our clan."

Although Cang Si felt that the reason was more than that, since the clan leader didn't say anything, he didn't force it any further.

Just take this as the real reason.

See through it but don't speak it out.

Then, Cang Si did not stay in the clan leader's house for long. He said hello to the brothers Hiashi and Hizashi and went straight home.

After returning home, Cang Si felt extremely lonely.

Now, Cang Si is the only owner of this house of more than 600 square meters.

After returning to the room, Cang Si immediately prepared to lie down and rest.

During these three days and three nights, Cang Sihe had closed his eyes for less than six hours. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. He was able to hold on until now only because of his willpower.

As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep in a daze.

Cang Si slept very comfortably.

In the dream, Cang Si was still getting along with his grandfather as usual.

Eating, chatting, training, day after day.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day, and when I lay down to rest it was noon yesterday.

I slept for a whole day and a night.

When he woke up, Cang Si directly called the servant and asked about what had happened from yesterday to now.

"Master, uh, Patriarch, your three teammates came to see you yesterday evening. After I told them that you had rested, they asked me to say hello to you on their behalf."

The moment the servant opened his mouth he realized that he had to change his address.

Cang Si rubbed his fluffy hair and said helplessly: "You should continue to call me Young Master. I am not used to the title of Patriarch."

"Okay, young master." The servant of the branch family agreed quickly.

Maybe he is not used to this title.

The three teammates of Souji that the servant mentioned should be Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha En.

It seems that my recent situation has made them a little worried. I have to find time to meet them.

After asking some other questions, Cang Si asked the other party to go downstairs to prepare lunch.

"Huh, it's been a while since I last visited Konoha."

After lunch, Souji left home and wandered around Konoha.

The familiar streets and familiar vendors make people feel particularly at home.

Just as Cang Si was wandering around, a shout came from behind.

"Hey, isn't this Cang Si?"

Turning around, Cang Si saw several familiar figures.

It was none other than Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza, whom I hadn’t seen for a while.

"It's you three. How come you have time to stay in the village today? Aren't you out on a mission?" Cang Si also greeted them skillfully.

We are old friends, so there are not so many rules.

Afterwards, the four of them found a nearby shop selling tricolor meatballs and sat down.

It’s the familiar shop from the original book.

Whether it is Mitarashi Anko, or Uchiha Itachi and his girlfriend Uchiha Izumi, they are all loyal fans of this three-color meatball shop.

There is even a joke online that Uchiha Itachi returned to Konoha for the first time after the original story began just to eat the three-colored meatballs.

A few of them were tactless and talked about Cang Si's deceased grandfather.

Since Cang Si had already walked out, they were still looking for trouble by bringing up things that were not related to the topic.

Through conversation, we learned that the three members of "Ino-Shika-Cho" had just finished a mission outside and came out after reporting to the Third Hokage.

They also talked about the dangers and interesting things they encountered after graduating from the Ninja School and following their respective instructors to perform various missions.

After a very happy conversation that lasted for more than an hour, and after Cang Si ate four or five skewers of three-color meatballs, the group parted ways.

Well, these three-color meatballs do taste good, but they are very sweet and you’ll get sick of them if you eat too much.

This is just

Cang Si said this personally, he doesn't know how other people feel.

I continued walking in Konoha, and when I met acquaintances, I would say hello to them.

Before I knew it, I was in front of the Hokage Building again.

Cang Si looked up at the office building with a big "Fire" word written on it, his mind full of thoughts.

"Cang Si, great, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The one who greeted was Minato Namikaze with a sunny smile on his face.

"Yes, we were just about to go to your house to find you again later." Uzumaki Kushina continued.

"It's really not easy to see you, Cang Si." Uchiha Yan changed from the joy he felt when he first saw Cang Si to a complaining look on his face.

"Minato, Kushina, and En, I'm so sorry for making you worry these days." Souji apologized directly and sincerely.

"The main thing is that you're okay." Minato said on behalf of Kushina and En.

"What are you doing?" Cang Si then changed the subject and asked.

"You've come at the right time. The Hokage has just called our team together to make an announcement. Let's go in together." After reacting, Minato said immediately.

The four of them once again stepped into the building that represented Konoha's highest authority.

And the Third Hokage was already waiting for them.

However, the Third Hokage was still very surprised when he saw Souji there for the first time.

"Cang Si is here too."

"Yes, please excuse me, Hokage."

"Since you are here this time, I have something to announce to you. I should have told you the day you returned."

The Third Hokage put down the pipe in his hand with a smile and said with his hands behind his back.

"Based on the large and small missions you have performed over the past four years, I have decided to promote the four of you to special jonin. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future."

The voice of the Third Hokage at this moment was like a beautiful music that entered the ears of the four people.

Although they had expected it, when the fact really came, they could not hide their excitement.

Now there is only one level above them, and that is the official Jonin without the word "special" in front of it!

As for the Hokage and the Advisory Elders Council, they were special positions, and Cang Si had no intention of moving up further.

Why are these two positions special? Because even if you are a Genin, it is possible to reach this position instantly.

A typical example is Uzumaki Naruto, who transformed from a Genin to Hokage in one step.

The actual positions of ninjas are only Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, and Jonin.

Even the position of special jonin was only created in recent years.

It is a position established for those who have reached the standards of a jonin in some aspects, but not in others.

Special Jounin: Much stronger than a Chuunin, but not up to the level of a normal Jounin.

Although it has the word "special" in front of it, it already means that the four of them have entered the middle-to-high level of the village.

"Thank you for the trust of the village and Lord Hokage. We will continue to move forward." Namikaze Minato said after calming down his excitement.

It can be said that Minato is one step closer to his dream!

The position of Hokage can only be held by someone who has both strength and prestige of a certain level.

Then the Third Hokage said a few words of encouragement to the four people and let them leave without assigning them any tasks.

The Third Hokage did not mention anything about arranging several people to go to the battlefield or the last incident with the daimyo.

It can be seen that the Third Hokage was still hesitant about the arrangements for several people.

The four people who had not been seen for a few days also happily stepped out of the Hokage office building.

Chapter 61: Initial Development of Ice Escape

"How about it? Do you have time? In order to fulfill our last agreement, I will treat you to a barbecue today." Cang Si said after leaving the Hokage Building.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Uchiha Yan was the most impatient person.

"We don't have any other plans, so let's go together." Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, led by Cang Si, the group came to a nice barbecue restaurant.

"Cangsi, you are now the youngest elder of the Hyuga clan, you must have a lot of power." At the barbecue table, Uchiha Yan said half enviously and half teasingly.

"No, family affairs are too troublesome. I don't want to get involved. Just the occasional meetings of the clan are enough to give me a headache."

Hearing Uchiha Yan say this, Cang Si waved his hands repeatedly in pain.

"Well, Soji, you look a lot like that guy Nara Shikaku now." Uzumaki Kushina also said with a smirk.

"Stop teasing Cang Si about the things he hates the most." Only Minato was considerate enough to help Cang Si, who was already sweating profusely.

"Minato still understands me." Cang Si looked grateful.

"Now that everyone has been promoted to special jonin, what are your plans for the future?" Cang Si asked again.

"It will probably be difficult for us to carry out missions together in the future, unless it is a very high-level mission that will require the four of us to take action at the same time."

After Minato said this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

The only sound on the entire table was the sizzling sound of the barbecue.

"Hey, hey, hey, the barbecue is about to burn. Really, why are we suddenly talking about such a sad topic?" Uzumaki Kushina shouted with a troubled look on her face.

"That's right. The joy of being promoted to a special jonin has been washed away. Now I don't know if this can still be considered a happy event." Uchiha Yan also disliked this atmosphere.

Come to think of it, they are all already special jonin now and belong to the leadership class. It would be a waste of resources if they still stay together.

The most likely scenario is that each of them will lead a team out to carry out the mission.
