Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 28 It’s okay~
Do you take it seriously?
Of course there are.

It's not just taken seriously, it's a thorn in the eye.

Hinata Hizashi sighed and raised his head: "Master Hiashi, don't you understand the current situation?"

"If the Uchiha clan falls today, who will Danzo attack next?"

Hyuga Hiashi's words made Hyuga Hiashi fall into deep thought. He couldn't believe it in his heart at all - could Konoha still take action against the Hyuga clan?
"Think about it, once the Uchiha clan fell, the Hyuga clan was unscathed. With the current situation in Konoha, how can the Hyuga clan be safe? Even if they don't suppress us like they suppressed the Uchiha, we will still be It only takes a lot of effort."

Hinata Hizashi persuaded with sincerity, and at the same time comforted: "Even if I don't speak for the Uchiha clan today, the third generation will never allow our Hyuga clan to dominate. Instead of letting them secretly plot Yuzuru against our Hyuga clan, , might as well put everything on the table.”

"Hand over Yuzuru to the Third Hokage, and he will be able to feel at ease with my Hyuga clan. At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to show our goodwill to the Uchiha clan."

"Who knows how far those lunatics will go?"

These words made Hinata Hizashi secretly frightened. He was not stupid, but he was too optimistic before. After the fourth generation took office, although the situation was not prosperous, it was calm, which made him somewhat relax his vigilance.

But after Hinata Hizashi's gentle prompting, he quickly jumped out of the inertia of his thinking and realized that Konoha was currently in the midst of a terrible change.

Once the Uchiha clan is destroyed, Konoha will have only two futures.

One is a future without Uchiha.

One is a future dominated by the Uchiha.

No matter which one it is, the Hyuga clan will never be safe and sound.

Now is the time to place your bets.

Bet the chips for the Hokage clan, or the Uchiha?

"What are you thinking?" Hinata Hiashi suppressed his anger. He sat on the chair, rubbing his eyebrows dejectedly.

Hinata Hizashi said calmly: "I will stand on Uchiha's side, but Hizashi-sama, just stand on Hokage's side like today."

"I believe the Sandaime will like the fact that we have different opinions."

Hinata and Hinata were stunned for a moment by these words, and then laughed loudly: "Yes, that's the truth!"

Yes!

What could be more in the interest of Konoha than showing that there was discord between the main Hyuga family and the branch family?

If the Uchiha were to dominate in the end, wouldn't it be safer if Hinata had accumulated a lot of love for the Uchiha clan through his first bet?

It is completely in line with the Hyuga clan’s always ‘neutral’ stance!
Even when he thought of this and the current situation, Hinata Hizashi simply said proactively: "In that case, then I will not stop doing it. After entering and leaving, I will tell others because you were in the meeting without permission." He made the decision, but I punished him with a caged bird.”

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hizashi just nodded, but a chill rose in his heart - Yuzuru actually predicted it! ?
The reason why he spoke up at the meeting could even be said to be asking for trouble, as even Hyuga Yuzuru was sent to the Anbu. This was not a momentary impulse on his part, nor was it simply a way for Hyuga Yuzuru to show goodwill and support to the Uchiha clan.

But on a deeper level, it's like walking into a trap.

Hyuga Yuzuru once said with great certainty that Hyuga Hiashi was weak by nature and too indecisive. Being sentimental is not a bad thing, and neither is being kind. But as a family leader, he lacks a firm stance and determination. He has a clear understanding of the situation, but is afraid of Konoha and has unrealistic expectations for it, so it is difficult for him to make the right choice in the end.

It can be said that he and Uchiha Fugaku are the two greatest talents of Konoha.

As long as you explain the pros and cons and find a reason to convince him, he will not refuse and will cooperate with Hinata Hizashi's "acting".

At first, Hinata Hizashi didn't quite believe it.

But now, he really believed it.

"It's... Yuzuru, is he okay?" Hinata Hiashi sighed, and his resentment towards Hizashi's self-willed behavior disappeared.

Hinata Hizashi just looked at him calmly: "This is his fate."

"Yeah. Fate."

When he thought of Hinata Hizashi, who even gave his son to the third generation as a hostage, Hinata Hizashi couldn't help but feel complicated. He patted Hinata Hizashi on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

Hinata Hizashi did not comment, but said: "If you want to do it, then do it. From today on, I also ask Mr. Rizu to deliberately arrange for some people of the clan to deliberately provoke conflicts among the people of my branch family."

"Wouldn't this put a lot of pressure on you?" Hinata Hiashi couldn't believe that Hinata Hizashi could be so cruel.

The head of a divided family is also the head of the family. If the resentment of the people below him rises, it will be difficult for him to be alone.

Hinata Hizashi just smiled faintly: "This is my destiny."

Hinata Hiashi was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "But afterwards, you still have to appease them. The main family and the branch family are the same, they are all members of the Hyuga clan, and you can't ruin the relationship between them because of this."

"Then, tell them the truth afterwards?" Hinata Hizashi frowned and asked.

Hinata Hiashi shook his head and smiled slightly: "Hiashi, you were so calm just now, why are you so soft-hearted now? Ordinary ninjas may have the risk of leaking the news. If you want to act, act it out completely and let Konoha believe it."

"I understand. I will comfort them."

After Hinata Hizashi finished speaking, he and Hinata Hizashi discussed in detail how to play out the drama of 'internal strife', and then Shi Shiran and Hinata Hizashi separated. Before going out, they pondered for a moment and made a dejected expression. He looked gloomy and walked away quickly with a dark face.

Hinata Hiashi also acted as if he was extremely angry. He walked around the room and even broke a cup of water.

The brothers' movements were discovered by the ninjas and maids who were on guard outside the house. Soon, all kinds of news, both true and false, spread out, some of which were due to the efforts of the two parties involved.

Konoha was currently in the process of reconstruction, and countless displaced people had to stay in shelters or tents in the open spaces provided by these large families. The news spread quickly within Konoha as it was deliberately spread.

Of course, there really is no downside to this plan?

Have.

The resentment of the separated families will inevitably rise as a result.

Can't Hyuga Hiashi see the hidden danger?

Of course you can see it.

Just don't care.

There are birds in cages, and what can they do even if they are dissatisfied?
There are also daily differences that should be combined inside and outside.

It's okay~
And what is Hinata Yuzuru doing behind the scenes at this moment?

The answer is naturally simple: actively participate in reconstruction.

Not only did he go himself, he also brought all the people from the Hyuga branch family with him. Given his status, and the fact that this matter was in line with the values ​​of most Konoha ninjas, the ninjas from the branch family didn't think much about it. Under his leadership, they distributed supplies, dug through the ruins, searched for the wounded, cleaned up the site, and rebuilt their homes.

Other families or ninjas are more or less still following Konoha's orders, and it is inevitable that they are not thorough or perfect in their work. However, Hyuga Yuzuru is fighting on the front line. As the leader, he is secretly given convenience by Hyuga Hizashi. He finds what is missing and changes the plan on the spot if there is something wrong.

Not enough money? Yes, the money accumulated by the branch family over the years should be used. Not only that, the main family should also pay.

If you do good deeds, even if you are just pretending, you still have to hand over the money.

Not enough supplies?

Coincidentally, as a big family, it is hard to say about other things, but the supplies are definitely enough. Even if only a part of it is taken, these supplies are still a huge amount for ordinary people.

In this way, to everyone's surprise, the Hyuga clan, which had always been honest and quiet, shone brilliantly in the reconstruction work after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Even the third generation had to publicly praise them, especially for those who always struggled and worked hard. On the front line, Hyuga Yuzuru, who had gained a lot of reputation, even praised him highly.

He even publicly stated that he would allow Hyuga Yuzuru to graduate from the Ninja Academy without taking the exam early and be granted a genin protection.

Ordinary people who are unaware of the situation are amazed by this and call him a true young hero.

But those who know the business can't help but shake their heads.

Third generation, you are worthy of it.

Is that a reward or appreciation?
No one cares to talk about you.

But no matter what, the Hyuga Separation family and Hyuga Yuzuru both stole the limelight after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and they were the same for a while.

The Uchiha took the blame and were accused of not putting in enough effort during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and their reputation became even worse.

By the time the reconstruction work is on track, only some major projects remain that will take time to proceed slowly.

Hinata Yuzuru was also notified to go to the Hokage's office to receive the Konoha forehead protector in person and prepare to join the Anbu.

However, just when he walked out of the house and was ready to face his upcoming ANBU life, an unexpected figure appeared in front of him.

He was a guy whose appearance alone could make people feel cold all over—Orochimaru.
