Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 90 Conspiracy ( words, please subscribe)
"Is the Rizu Clan leader aware of this matter?"

As soon as Shisui pulled him into the house, without waiting for Hinata Yuzuru to explain his purpose, Shisui asked anxiously.

Anyone with a little sensitivity knows that the current Uchiha clan is not someone that anyone can contact.

In other words, it was fine to just play together or perform missions together, and it was not a problem to make an appointment to go out together, but visiting the Uchiha family, even without a formal visiting card, was not a trivial matter.

Is Yuzuru coming here just by himself, or is he representing the Hyuga branch, or the entire Hyuga clan?

"He doesn't know." Hinata Yuzuru didn't seem to care at all. He just smiled and said leisurely, "We are a branch family. If the main family has to decide everything, why not abolish the position of the head of the branch family?"

This is quite a lot of information.

Shisui was a little restless.

There was no one else in the room, but he still stood up and closed the door. His heart was pounding and his expression was a little worried: "What are you going to do?"

"Go and discuss something with Chief Fugaku. Of course, before that, I have to listen to your thoughts."

Hyuga Yuzuru was sitting upright. This posture was rare for Shisui. Hinata Yuzuru always looked so gentle that he seemed to have no temper. Such a serious posture was really rare.

Unconsciously, Shisui also sat up straight.

"What is it?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at the boy in front of him seriously. Since he came on behalf of the Hyuga branch, he could no longer relax like he did when facing a friend. He reached out to pour him tea while listening attentively.

Hinata Yuzuru stared at him and said, "I plan to launch a ZB within the Hyuga clan on June 8th of this year and overthrow the main family."

"Bang." The teapot knocked over the cup, and the tea spilled on half the table.

Uchiha Shisui's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief: "What!?"

"We need the Uchiha clan to provide some help to our Hyuga branch, including using the power of the police department to block the streets that night to prevent the Anbu and the Root from discovering the abnormalities within the Hyuga clan and obstructing our actions, including forming an alliance with us afterwards and recognizing the legitimacy of our branch's actions."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Uchiha Shisui, who seemed to have a brain short circuit, and continued in a slow voice: "In return, while we obtain the orthodox status of the Hyuga clan, we will stand on the same front with the Uchiha clan and help the Uchiha clan get the treatment they deserve in Konoha."

"Together we protest to the Third Generation against the current untrue public opinion against the Uchiha clan in the village, and jointly protest against Konoha's unreasonable sanctions against the Uchiha clan after the Nine-Tails Rebellion."

These words made Uchiha Shisui feel uneasy. He was incredulous at first, and then he pressed his hands on the table anxiously, half standing up: "Are you crazy!?"

"I mean, what on earth are you thinking?!"

Shisui was in disbelief.

This is what Hinata Yuzuru means! ?

of course not.

This is the meaning of the family separation represented by Yuzuru Hinata's death.

But can this kind of thing be discussed with outsiders?
Isn't he afraid that some of us will leak the news and let the Zong family know? The caged bird is still above your head!
And he attacked his own family! ?
This is simply.
Shisui found it difficult to find a suitable adjective for a moment, but he also seemed a little confused. How could he confuse the branch family and the main family of the Hyuga clan?
Uchiha Shisui was thinking quickly about all the possible consequences of this incident, and felt a little overwhelmed.

"Do you think the system of the main family and the branch family is correct?"

Hinata Yuzuru did not explain, but instead raised a question.

Uchiha Shisui frowned: "But."

"Let me ask you another question. Suppose, from today on, I teach you the caged bird technique, and let you Uchiha clan protect your eyes, and only Clan Leader Fugaku will be the head of the clan. Are you willing? Even if you are willing, can the other Uchiha clan members accept this?"

Uchiha Shisui was stunned on the spot. He didn't even need to think about this question to get the answer.

How could a vast majority of Uchiha people agree to this - to leave life and death to the clan leader's control?
Apart from anything else, the clan is now divided into two factions and the atmosphere is tense. How could the hawkish Uchiha clan members who are dissatisfied with the clan leader agree to this?
We are like birds in a cage, so what the clan leader says must be the truth. He wants us to be dogs for Konoha and suffer all kinds of grievances, so we have to listen to him?
Hinata Yuzuru pointed at the caged bird on his forehead and said in a calm voice: "We are all human beings."

"We have our own ideas and desires. We can die generously for the ones we love, and we can also give everything for our beliefs."

"But are all the ninjas who died on the battlefield to protect the clan really willing to do so?"

"Why do we need to fight bloody battles, but the Zong family can just sit back and enjoy the results?"

"Aren't we part of the family?"

"During the three great wars, wasn't it Patriarch Fugaku who led the troops and fought on the front lines?"

"Even his son, Itachi, was brought to the front line and experienced the battle - regardless of whether this is correct or not, in fact, I do not agree with the behavior of the Fugaku clan leader in this matter."

"What's more, the current clan is no longer just one person, but a group of people, Shisui. Do you regard me as a partner, or an insignificant tool that can be discarded at any time?"

When Shisui heard this, he subconsciously replied, "Of course, a partner."

"Yes, but in the eyes of the Zong family, what am I?"

Hinata Yuzuru's expression remained calm, but Uchiha Shisui saw a pair of cold white eyes from under his plain glasses, which were completely different from before. There was some emotion in those eyes that made people feel cold all over, but they were staring at him firmly.

"Do they treat me as an equal?"

"The most profound and powerful secrets of the Hyuga clan are clearly in the hands of the main family, but on the battlefield they let those branches that are far less powerful than themselves fight to the death. Why?"

"Protect your eyes. If it's to protect the so-called eyes, then why don't everyone have a caged bird carved on them? Anyway, the death of the caged bird will trigger and destroy the eyes, so why would you let someone control your life and death? Is it to prevent traitors?"

"What if it is the clan leader who is wrong? What if a traitor appears in the main family? Will the branch family also have to abandon their faith and become traitors along with the main family?"

Hinata Yuzuru's series of words left Shisui speechless.

Uchiha Shisui was silent for a moment, and finally, he could only whisper softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Indeed, being a bird in a cage is not fair to you."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at him seriously, "Are you willing to support me, Shisui?"

"My purpose is not to let the clan's blood flow, I just want to completely abolish the system of the caged bird. To be precise, I want to abolish the clan and branch system, so that all members of the Hyuga clan can be fair and free. , equal, living under the same roof.”

"This is what a family should be like, isn't it?"

Uchiha Shisui was speechless, and finally, he could only nod gently: "Maybe, you are right"

His mind was in a mess.

These words came too suddenly to him, and he had never thought about the problems within the Hyuga clan before.

To be honest, he can't even figure out the Uchiha family's own affairs, so how can he possibly interfere in other people's families?
Moreover, to be honest, he also felt sorry for the fact that Hinata Yuzuru was born into a branch family. Now that he saw him make such a decision and plan, he really didn't have much resistance or disagreement in his heart.

just
"But, I can't agree to this." Uchiha Shisui finished speaking first, and then quickly added: "Personally, I think this matter is your own business. It's not easy for me to express my opinion, and I don't think what you did was wrong."

"What I mean is that I can't make a decision on behalf of the Uchiha clan on this matter. Whether I can help you depends on the opinion of clan leader Fugaku." As soon as Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, Hinata Yuzuru smiled.

He chuckled twice, stood up, and stretched out his hand to Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui also stretched out his hand in a daze and shook hands with him.

"That's enough, Shisui."

"I care more about your thoughts than Patriarch Fugaku."

Hyuga Yuzuru spoke with deep affection, which even made Uchiha Shisui feel ashamed at this moment: the first moment he heard about such a big event, he really wanted to object subconsciously. In feudal thought, it can be said to be a very rebellious thing.

It was not until he understood Hyuga Yuzuru's situation and the Hyuga branch family's situation through Hyuga Yuzuru's words that he realized what kind of life his good friend was living in the Hyuga clan.

After thinking about all this, he couldn't say anything to dissuade his friend - he asked himself, if it were him who faced the fate of the Hinata family separation, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

Tie him up.
Uchiha Shisui pursed his lips and apologized sadly: "I'm sorry, Yuzuru, I couldn't stand by your side the first time."

Hinata Yuzuru just smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "What is there to apologize for? In the eyes of anyone, I am a traitor for trying to overthrow the main family."

"In this world, don't we all think that some people are born to be enslaved by others?"

Hyuga Yuzuru's words made Uchiha Shisui feel even more guilty. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. The fact is that in this semi-feudal ninja world, the hierarchy is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.

"Let's go see the Fugaku clan leader." Hinata Yuzuru stood up and adjusted his clothes. He still looked unhurried and calm.

Uchiha Shisui perked up and nodded heavily: "Okay, I will stand on your side."

In the end, he made his promise.

just
Uchiha Shisui suddenly thought of the day not long ago, and Hinata Yuzuru's cunning smile - he said that he would need him to do him a small favor, could it be today?
But I always feel that today's incident is not so much about him needing my help, but more like he wants to see what I think before cooperating with the Fugaku clan leader.
What on earth is this guy planning?

In fact, he was not wrong. This matter did not seem difficult to Hinata Yuzuru. He cared more about Uchiha Shisui's thoughts than Uchiha Fugaku. That was why he had to see Shisui's attitude first before deciding whether to cooperate with Uchiha on this matter.

If his eyes were used on me
Hinata Yuzuru chuckled without changing his expression and gently stretched out his fist.

Uchiha Shisui didn't hesitate, he stretched out his fist and lightly touched it with his.

The two of them said nothing more and went straight to Uchiha Fugaku's home.

As soon as Hinata Yuzuru walked to the entrance of Uchiha Fugaku's courtyard, he saw Itachi with a puzzled look on his face and the young Sasuke who was holding his calf.

Itachi blinked at him in confusion: "Yuzuru, are you the guest?"

He was ordered by his father to take Sasuke out to play and come back later.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "Well, this is your brother. This is the first time I meet him. Hello, Sasuke."

"Hello." Uchiha Sasuke grabbed Uchiha Itachi's hand. He was a little timid, but still nodded and greeted him generously.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled gently and looked him up and down. The boy in front of him didn't have the potential to become the future 'Harutesuke' at the moment, he was just a little brat.

"I'm Hinata Yuzuru, your brother's friend. If you have time in the future, you can come and play with me. Ah, my brother is only one year older than you. Who knows, you two could become friends."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Sasuke turned his head and looked at Itachi with a questioning look in his eyes, as if he was confirming whether he was lying.

"Well, he is my brother's friend." Uchiha Itachi picked up Sasuke and still looked at Hinata Yuzuru with inquiring eyes.

Hinata Yuzuru kept the topic a secret, and with his familiar sly smile, he winked and said, "Patriarch Fugaku will tell you what we are going to talk about later. Anyway, we will talk later."

Uchiha Itachi made an "oh" and made way, but he was even more confused, wondering what big thing his good friend was going to do this time.

Hinata Yuzuru and Uchiha Shisui walked into the courtyard and passed by Uchiha Itachi. Itachi frowned slightly, unable to figure out why he came, so he could only leave home with doubts.

Uchiha Fugaku had already set up his posture in the living room, cleared out the crowd, and sat alone around the coffee table with three cups of hot tea on the table.

Hyuga Yuzuru bowed politely first, and Uchiha Fugaku was not arrogant. On the contrary, he also stood up and bowed slightly with full etiquette, treating Hyuga Yuzuru as a being of the same level.

"Welcome to the Uchiha clan, Hinata Yuzuru."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled and said softly: "Itachi has been under your care for a long time. As a father, I have never met you. After meeting you today, I find that you are as outstanding as Shisui said."

Hinata Yuzuru also said politely, "I came here in a hurry and did not give you a visiting card in advance. I hope you don't mind, Chief Fugaku."

Then there were a few polite words like "You praise me and I praise your son". After they were seated, Hinata Yuzuru sat up straight and stated his purpose in response to Uchiha Fugaku's tentative questions.

"I am here on behalf of the Hyuga branch family. I want to ask the chief of the Fugaku clan to discuss important matters with us."

As soon as Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, although Uchiha Fugaku found it hard to imagine that the child in front of him could represent the branch family to discuss important matters, he also put on a serious look and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"I wonder what Patriarch Fugaku thinks of the current relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha?"

Hinata Yuzuru asked a question first.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly and said calmly: "It's just a small conflict, it won't hurt the overall situation."

"Chief Fugaku." Hyuga Yuzuru emphasized his tone and said seriously: "On this trip, I represent the Hyuga branch family and come with sincerity."

Uchiha Fugaku realized that something was serious.

He was silent for a moment, raised his tea, took a sip, looked at the child in front of him, vaguely felt that the scene was a little absurd, but still calmed down and thought carefully.

Although the boy in front of him was young, he was already an absolute elite jonin in Shisui's words.

As the eldest son of Hyuga Hizashi, he represents the branch family and has a legitimate reason for coming here.

Considering that after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Hyuga Hizashi had shown goodwill to him in the meeting, his so-called sincerity should not be false.

Let’s first treat each other with sincerity and see what the purpose is.

"It's not optimistic." Uchiha Fugaku told the truth.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly.

He sat up straight without hurrying, and said softly: "After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha first moved the Uchiha clan to the edge."

Hyuga Yuzuru slowly told what he knew, including the information collected by his family, one by one about the unfair treatment the Uchiha clan had suffered in the past two years.

After saying these things that Uchiha people knew well, he changed the subject and came up with a shocking conclusion.

"It can take up to five years, and it can take up to two or three years. If this situation continues to deteriorate, the Uchiha clan will undoubtedly turn against it."

Uchiha Fugaku remained calm, raised his teacup, interrupted him at this moment, and took another sip of tea while saying faintly: "Forgive me for not agreeing with you, even if Konoha was wrong first, the Uchiha clan is still a clan of Konoha."

Hinata Yuzuru did not refute, but continued what he had said before: "But, is there really no room for adjustment or maneuver in this matter?"

"Is the future of the Uchiha clan really irreversible?"

Hinata Yuzuru once again asked the question first, and then without waiting for Fugaku to reply, he continued to ask and answer his own questions.

"I don't think so."

"In my opinion, there are three main reasons why the Uchiha clan had to rebel."

"First, the Nine-Tails Rebellion was not the Uchiha clan's fault, but Danzo slandered it, and the Third Hokage acquiesced and attributed it to the Uchiha clan, causing the Uchiha clan to suffer injustice. Now the Uchiha clan is being condemned by everyone in the village, but the Konoha clan is sitting back and watching public opinion ferment, doing nothing."

"Secondly, the Uchiha clan sacrificed their lives and shed blood in just a few decades of building Konoha Village, but they were never recognized and were excluded from the core power circle by Konoha. This is a long-standing grudge that was planted since the Second Hokage, and now it has been fueled. This resentment is becoming increasingly difficult to quell, and it has now intensified to the point where it cannot be reconciled."

"Third, the Uchiha clan lacks allies in Konoha, which leads to the above two problems. It is completely impossible to improve the situation through normal means."

Hinata Yuzuru took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said softly: "It is precisely because the Uchiha clan is isolated and helpless that Konoha dares to suppress the Uchiha clan unscrupulously."

"At the moment, if the strength of the Fugaku clan leader is enough to shock the entire clan and his skills are amazing, he can suppress the Uchiha clan until the third generation steps down. Perhaps we can also expect the new Hokage to be gentle with the Uchiha clan."

"But, Patriarch Fugaku, ask yourself, can you last until the third generation steps down?"

Hinata Yuzuru's words caused Uchiha Fugaku to fall silent temporarily.

Uchiha Shisui was even more shocked. Although he realized the seriousness of the problems in the family, he did not think that the matter had become irreversible and close to a dead end.

Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a moment, looking at the boy in front of him, no longer looking down on him, but he could never admit it, he just said vaguely: "If it is really as you said, what can you do?"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly.

Stable.

As long as Uchiha Fugaku asked, it meant that deep down he didn't want the Uchiha clan to go to that step.

So, the next thing to do is to give him hope - no matter whether this hope is true or not, as long as it can temporarily suppress the rising arrogance within the Uchiha clan, it is enough.

Isn't what Uchiha Fugaku wants more time and a chance to turn things around?
"If the Hyuga clan is willing to stand firmly beside the Uchiha clan and put pressure on Konoha."

"Does Patriarch Fugaku think that Konoha will choose to compromise?"

Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and shook his head gently: "It's difficult, but there is a chance."

"Then if we have the Hyuga clan as an ally, standing beside the Uchiha clan and openly protesting to Konoha, can the resentment of the Uchiha clan be alleviated?"

Hinata Yuzuru said again.

Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Okay."

Hinata Yuzuru then continued, "If the Uchiha clan gradually gains more power after this, can they resolve the resentment within the clan?"

Uchiha Fugaku did not dare to give an answer, but he believed that if he could obtain greater power, perhaps the resentment of the people in the clan could be calmed down a little. After all, before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the biggest conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was It's just that the power they possess does not match their combat power.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha was extremely irresponsible and added fuel to the fire, constantly exacerbating the problem without giving any room for easing or even hope.

"If I say that the Uchiha clan can openly participate in the Hokage election in the future and compete fairly with other candidates for the fifth or sixth Hokage, will there be any chance of a turnaround?"

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed bitterly: "This is easier said than done. Since the second generation, the village has felt that the Uchiha clan..."

"Who, exactly?"

Hinata Yuzuru pointed out the key.

He looked at Uchiha Fugaku with burning eyes, and said in a solemn tone: "Who among Konoha thinks that a member of the Uchiha clan cannot become Hokage?"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened slightly.

"The third generation is already old. Even if he doesn't kill him, he can live a good life for at most ten or twenty years. If he can carry on the job for more than ten years at most, he should abdicate and make way for someone more worthy. He was not in the right position to begin with, and his re-appointment will attract criticism. .”

"Other than the Third Generation, who else will stop the Uchiha clan from becoming Hokage?"

Hinata Yuzuru pressed on: "Except for those people in the Elder Council and Danzo of the Root, who else would firmly reject the Uchiha clan becoming Hokage?"

These words made Uchiha Fugaku suddenly wake up.

Yes!

As long as the old conservatives left behind by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama are dealt with, who among the other families will have such great discrimination and hostility towards the Uchiha clan?
If Hashirama Senju were still alive, they would definitely side with the Hokage, but the Hokage now is not Hashirama Senju, or even Tobirama Senju, but the old man Sandaime.

Moreover, if, as he said, there are still Hyuga clans willing to maneuver and stand on his side.
Why can't we?

Hyuga Yuzuru smiled, but secretly sighed in his heart: The Uchiha clan really can't do it - but the reason behind it is extremely difficult to change. Unless someone with great courage can forcefully turn the ship around with an iron fist, otherwise the Uchiha clan will probably never get through in this life. Normal means to become Hokage.

It’s a pity that in Konoha today, he is probably the only one who can see the most critical problem and reason behind this, but he just doesn’t need to say it out loud.

"But." Uchiha Fugaku frowned: "How can this be easy!?"

If I could overthrow them without rebelling, why would I be so worried and distressed?
Those old guys left over from the second generation stick together and control most of the power in Konoha. If you want to deal with them, what other means can you rely on besides force?
Even the Hyuga clan has no way to achieve this through peaceful means, right?

"We should just wait for them to hand us the knife. There is no need to preemptively attack them and cause criticism, thus losing the moral integrity."

Hinata Yuzuru chuckled and said, "In my opinion, Danzo is the one who loses his temper easily. It is also because of his constant pressure that the Uchiha clan has reached its current state. If we can kill him legitimately, the morale of the Uchiha clan will definitely be greatly boosted, and the resentment will be reduced. After that, we can gradually reconcile public opinion and change the reputation of the Uchiha clan bit by bit."

"The Fugaku clan leader also needs to restrain his clan members. As long as they resolve conflicts with the vast majority of Konoha's ninjas, over time, the public opinion of the hawks in the clan will lose its foundation. Once this fire is extinguished, it will not be so easy to light. , I believe that the vast majority of Uchiha people, as long as they can get compensation and get the treatment they deserve, they don’t want to do such crazy things, right?”

Uchiha Fugaku was in a trance for a while due to this pancake painting, but he was the leader of the clan after all and quickly calmed down.

What Hyuga Yuzuru said is very tempting, but many of the problems are extremely difficult to change.

But no matter what, if the Uchiha clan could gain the friendship and support of the Hyuga clan, the situation would be much better.

Uchiha Fugaku was really helpless.

If it were up to him, the Uchiha clan would really be on the path of no return, just as Hinata Yuzuru said.

As the patriarch, he can only say that he has the will but not the power. Even if he wants to stabilize the tribe, even if he wants to avoid conflicts and bloodshed, it is an indisputable fact that his control over the tribe is getting weaker and weaker with the continuous expansion of hawkish forces, and he cannot change the overall trend at all.

In three to five years, even without Shisui's Sharingan, the clan will have to take action - unless Uchiha Fugaku intends to be impeached or kills his own relatives for the sake of justice, otherwise the trend of the clan is irreversible. If it can be as Hyuga Yuzuru said, there may be some chances for change, and for Uchiha Fugaku, any method that can calm down the crazy Uchiha clan members is worth trying.

Uchiha Fugaku drank a sip of tea and looked at Hyuga Yuzuru calmly: "Let's just stop here for now. We Uchiha clan won't do such crazy things. I want to know, are you here to represent the Hyuga branch family or the main family?"

If you are sorry for the separation, say goodbye and don't waste your time.

If he is the clan leader, then maybe we can consider it and see what he wants.

And then Hyuga Yuzuru smiled and said: "It only means the separation of Hinata's family."

"." Uchiha Fugaku couldn't catch his breath and raised his eyebrows.

But Hinata Yuzuru's next words made Uchiha Fugaku's face change, and he had to be serious.

"What we said before were all things we can give to the Uchiha clan, that is, benefits."

"What we need to discuss now is what the Uchiha clan needs to pay in return."

"We plan to launch ZB within the Hyuga clan on June 8. From then on, the Hyuga family will no longer be divided into branch families and clan families. The current commitment of the branch family will also become the promise of the Hyuga clan."

"And what we need the Uchiha clan to do is to use the responsibilities of the police force to block the streets in advance on that day and turn a blind eye to the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan. It is best to find excuses to keep the ANBU and root ninjas to work for us. It’s just a little delay.”

Uchiha Fugaku stared at the young man in front of him, with a murderous aura all over his body. A huge sense of oppression came over him. Uchiha Shisui, who was sitting next to Hyuga Yuzuru, subconsciously perked up, while Hyuga Yuzuru just smiled.

"Do you know what it means to do this?"

Uchiha Fugaku said coldly: "Conflicts with the Root and the Anbu, blocking the streets, in the eyes of the Third Hokage and Danzo, this is a signal of the Uchiha clan's rebellion! This will make the Uchiha clan completely slide into the abyss, don't you know!?"

"If we don't do this, will they give up suppressing you?" Hinata Yuzuru smiled.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip calmly, and continued, "Today, no, to be exact, yesterday, Danzo sent the Root ninjas to surround and kill Hatake Kakashi."

"The purpose is a Sharingan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui's expressions changed slightly.

"Let alone the fact that he already has a Sharingan that is most likely from Uchiha Kagami, why would he need another one? Oh, you probably don't know. I have used my Byakugan to see it, and even if he covered it with a bandage, the special power of the Sharingan could not escape my eyes."

"Clan Chief Fugaku, do you think that Danzo's current actions have failed and he failed to obtain Hatake Kakashi's Sharingan. If he still wants the Sharingan, who will he attack?"

"I might as well tell you another piece of news."

Hinata Yuzuru said dimly: "On the way to the Land of Fire to take office, Danzo attacked the Third Hokage and tried to use the Root Ninja to ambush and kill the Third Hokage, with the goal of becoming the Fifth Hokage himself."

"And the third generation still chose to forgive the other party even though he knew that the culprit was Danzo."

"Even though Danzo attacked Kakashi this time, the Third Hokage still retained his position as the leader of the Root. I don't know the specific punishment, but I guess it will be just a lot of noise but little action, and he will just take some benefits from the Root."

He looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said softly: "Do you think that if Danzo had the opportunity to eradicate the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop, he would give up that opportunity?"

"Then what do you think the third generation will do about this?"

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a solemn expression, smiled slightly, and then said: "After this incident, if they dare to take the opportunity to attack, wouldn't it just be in line with the wishes of the Fugaku clan?"

"With my Hyuga clan helping you, won't your chances of success on that path be greater?"

"Besides, based on my understanding of the Third Hokage, he would never take advantage of this situation. The most likely scenario is that Danzo will be responsible for the revenge in secret and then look for a good opportunity."

Uchiha Fugaku remained silent, his heart was like a raging storm.

Danzo has a Sharingan, and he wants another Sharingan, and he even dares to attack his own people, even the third generation dares to ambush him! ?

What the hell is this! ?
But it gradually strengthened his determination and he no longer dared to have any good expectations of Danzo.

Yes, this matter has reached an irreconcilable point.

Even if there is no rebellion today, the clan will still rebel in two to three years.

There are no caged birds in the Uchiha clan. If these lunatics are really provoked to madness, he, the clan leader, will either be directly impeached, or else he will have no choice but to obey the wishes of the majority of the people in the clan - and he himself feels that It’s frustrating, why is Konoha so bullying! ?

If I could gain an ally from this.

Then no matter how Konoha reacts to the Uchiha clan's performance, isn't it much better than the Uchiha clan fighting alone?

If you want to use this to accuse Uchiha of treason, then just do the opposite and drag down the Hyuga clan in one go, then pull down the third generation, and the Uchiha clan takes the position of Hokage.

If the third generation dares not take advantage of the situation and chooses to give in, it will also make people in the clan feel bad and gain allies. They can try to achieve their goals through other means and avoid embarking on the irreversible road of rebellion.

Then, there is only one question left.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Hinata Yuzuru with a calm expression: "How can I believe that you can do this? How are you going to solve the problem of being a bird in a cage?"

Hinata Yuzuru just chuckled twice, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. The lines of the seal engraved by his fingers disappeared, and the extremely light-colored caged bird was exposed.

"Everything is ready."

Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui both looked at his forehead.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and asked: "How long will it take you to deal with the clan?"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled even more and picked up the teacup: "Half an hour."

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened slightly: "Are you sure?"

"of course."

Hinata Yuzuru's tone contained an inexplicable mocking chuckle: "Who made the clan have so few people?"

"Do you need our help? The time we can delay is limited after all." Uchiha Fugaku did not dare to be careless and had to confirm the authenticity of this matter.

Although the Hyuga branch has many people, they do not have any family secrets, and most of them are mid-level and low-level ninjas.

Although the number of clan members is small, they are proficient in family secrets. Even if they are Chuunin, they will probably be evenly matched against the Jounin of the Hyuga branch.

Moreover, the Hyuga clan excels in physical skills, so they fight even slower.

Hinata Yuzuru just said calmly: "Please believe me, I have left enough time for this matter. As for the specific details, please forgive me for not going into details."

"This matter is very important. If I am not careful, it will be a life-and-death battle between the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan. How can I dare to be careless?"

Uchiha Fugaku stared at Hinata Yuzuru for a long time and nodded.

"Please allow me to think about this for a moment."

He closed his eyes and clenched his fists unconsciously little by little until the tea cooled down and was no longer hot. Then he took a deep breath and exhaled.

"it is good."

Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes, his Sharingan slowly moving in them, just the shape of three magatama, and whispered: "If you betray me, this is just to set a trap for my Uchiha clan on behalf of the Third Hokage or Danzo. The Hyuga clan will be destroyed before the Uchiha clan is destroyed!"

"I'm looking forward to the day when I can openly invite Chief Fugaku to visit the Hyuga clan." Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly and stood up.

He stood up slowly, stretched out his hand and raised it towards Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku also stood up and looked at the boy in front of him. Only then did he remember through the height difference how old the child was that he was having such an astonishing conversation with.

He sighed in his heart, but solemnly stretched out his hand and tightly shook hands with Hinata Yuzuru's hand, which was more than one size smaller than his.

Without saying anything stupid like 'Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?', Uchiha Fugaku gave a firm answer.

"I'm looking forward to it." said Uchiha Fugaku.

Hinata Yuzuru opened his palm and saluted slightly: "I had a lot of fun playing with Itachi and Shisui today. Thank you for the warm hospitality of Chief Fugaku. Please send someone to pay attention to our pawn shop on No. 3 New Street. If you see that the shop is closed on June 8th, please send someone in to find out the specific time of action."

"Ah, welcome. Come again next time." Uchiha Fugaku secretly sighed that this little guy was incredibly mature, but he also understood what he meant. He glanced at Shisui and was somewhat surprised that the intimacy between the two was far beyond his imagination, and he felt vaguely alert in his heart.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and left.

Uchiha Shisui looked at Fugaku, nodded, and chased after him to see the guest off.

After walking out of the room, Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a long time, and finally did not ask anything. He just silently sent him to the door, did not look into his eyes, shifted his gaze, and whispered: "I don't want the Uchiha clan and Konoha to reach that point."

Hinata Yuzuru glanced at him and just chuckled twice: "Isn't Clan Chief Fugaku also working hard on this matter?"

Uchiha Shisui sighed and didn't want to say much, but he was worried that the suggestion proposed by Hinata Yuzuru this time would lead the Uchiha clan to another unpredictable path. However, no matter what, perhaps as he talked about, it was better than doing nothing.

He was silent, feeling the surging power in his eyes - if the worst happened.

Let this eye change everything.

Shisui never told anyone else about the true power of his Sharingan. Even Uchiha Fugaku only knew that his kaleidoscope contained an illusion called Betrayal, which was very powerful and strange, but he did not know the true form of Betrayal. Gods can permanently change the minds of others.

However, Shisui still couldn't understand it. He whispered, "But, is it really okay to be so anxious? What if we wait a little longer?"

"Can the Uchiha clan wait?" Hinata Yuzuru looked at him, his voice calm, but it echoed in Uchiha Shisui's ears like thunder.

He looked incredulous: "You did it because of me!?"

"If it continues to be delayed, the Uchiha clan's affairs may never turn around again." Hinata Yuzuru stated his thoughts firmly.

The Uchiha clan still has a chance to turn around. If they delay for another two years, it may be impossible to reverse the situation. Even Shisui's Kotoamatsukami will be powerless to reverse the situation under such circumstances.

He is not as naive as Shisui, thinking that as long as he uses another god to change Fugaku's mind, or change the mind of the third generation, he can easily change the current situation of the Uchiha clan.

Even though he has said a lot to Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui, Hyuga Yuzuru still believes that the Uchiha clan will probably not give up. This action is just a delaying tactic to delay the conflict.

Sooner or later, the conflict will break out again, unless someone from the Uchiha clan becomes Hokage.
Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth and stared blankly at Hinata Yuzuru's expression. After a long time, he lowered his eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yuzuru, thank you!"

"You're welcome. It's just a simple exchange of interests."

Even though these words and words were deliberately spoken by Hyuga Yuzuru, and Uchiha Shisui's performance was within his expectations, for some reason, Hyuga Yuzuru was only slightly uninterested.

Uchiha Shisui didn't know what his friend next to him was thinking. He just clenched his fists in silence and didn't reply. His eyes were as hot as Metkai's.

Hinata Yuzuru left the Uchiha clan's mansion.

Not long after returning home, a ninja from the main family appeared at the door of Hinata Yuzuru's house in a menacing manner.

"Hyuga Yuzuru, the Hiashi clan leader has asked you to come over."

Hinata Yuzuru followed with a calm expression.

The Hyuga clan's visit to the Uchiha clan was no small matter in itself, not to mention that Hyuga Yuzuru went there openly.

When they arrived at the martial arts arena at Hiashi's house, in the huge space that was like a martial arts hall, besides Hinata Hiashi, there was also Hinata Hizashi who was called over at some point, and Hinata Teru who was the elder.

Hinata Hizashi looked a little sad. He lowered his head in silence and didn't know what was said. As soon as Hyuga Yuzuru came in, he heard Hyuga Teru yell angrily: "Yuzuru, do you still have the clan in your heart? ?Did I tell you that you are not allowed to interact with people from the Uchiha clan anymore?"

"I just went to visit my senior." Before Hinata Yuzuru could finish his calm words, he felt a tearing pain on his forehead.

It was as if there was a fire burning deep in his soul and someone was hitting the back of his head with a hammer. A mixture of dizziness, nausea and pain made him stagger slightly.

But now the effect on the caged bird, which had been almost completely devoured by the Flying Bird Seal, was limited. The pains almost drained all the strength of the caged bird, which was already close to disappearing. They came and went quickly, and soon turned into slight pains.

Hinata Yuzuru covered his head with his hands, groaning, his whole body seemed to be trembling with pain, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

"dad."

At the door, the girl's voice stopped suddenly.

Hinata showed her head from the door and saw Hinata Yuzuru, who was sweating profusely and lying on the ground, covering his forehead. His white eyes widened slightly, looking at what was happening inside in disbelief, which she could not understand. thing.

"Get out!" Hiashi shouted angrily, and a ninja from the main family behind her hurriedly carried her away with a panicked look on his face.

Ri Xianghui took back his hand and snorted coldly: "Can't you even watch a child?"

"It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance. Hinata should have just come back." Hiashi looked extremely bad.

Hinata Yuzuru pretended to be gasping for breath, looking overwhelmed, and managed to stand up straight, his expression still not changing much: "Sorry."

"You still know how to apologize!" Hinata Hui said angrily: "You have repeatedly ignored the clan rules and disrespected your elders, you..."

Hyuga Hizashi interrupted Hyuga Teru and said, "Elder Teru, the responsibility for this matter is also mine."

"Didn't we agree before that the main family would be responsible for leaning towards the Hokage lineage, while our branch family would show goodwill to the Uchiha clan?" Hyuga Hizashi looked very indifferent and just glanced at Hyuga Yuzuru without looking at him any more. He turned his head and looked at Hyuga Teru and said, "Elder Teru, you should also know about this."

Of course, Hinata Teru knew what Hizashi meant.

Deliberately causing conflicts between the main family and the branch family, and acting as if the main family and the branch family are at odds with outsiders, placing bets on both sides, so that both sides are not offended. No matter who wins the power, the Hokage or the Uchiha, the Hyuga clan will not completely lose power.

This was the strategy decided by Hiashi and Hiashi two years ago, and as an elder, he also acquiesced to it.

But Hyuga Hui still angrily said: "It's not just this matter, let me ask you, what else did the third generation tell you?"

"Why would Jiraiya come to you? In your heart, are you the ninja of the family, or the third generation ninja?"

Hinata Yuzuru finally understood.

It turned out to be the case.

He was still wondering why the other party made such a fuss. Logically, he was just going to find Uchiha Shisui and visit the head of the family. This issue could be a big deal or a small deal, but it depended on how others interpreted it and how he explained it. It was natural for the family to punish him a little, after all, Hinata Teru had just said not long ago that he was not allowed to have much contact with Uchiha people, but he was not so angry.

Turns out it was Jiraiya who came.

He indeed had not told his family that the Third Generation was planning to have Jiraiya be his teacher for a while.

But is it necessary to reprimand myself so harshly for this matter?

Hinata Yuzuru quickly thought of the real answer in his mind.

The answer is unexpectedly simple and unexpectedly funny.

He gently stretched out his hand, pushed up his glasses, and wiped away the cold sweat on his face that had just appeared as he pretended to be in pain. This was not difficult for him. As long as he used chakra to stimulate some acupuncture points, he would sweat profusely due to the pain.

"I am a ninja from the Hyuga clan."

Hinata Yuzuru said softly.

Hinata Hui's face was still gloomy, and he said coldly: "It's a ninja from the Hyuga branch family!"

He walked in front of Hyuga Yuzuru and emphasized again in a cold tone: "What is the mission of the Hyuga branch ninja?"

"Protect the Zong family."

Hinata Yuzuru said softly.

"very good."

Hinata Teru's expression seemed to have eased a little.

He glanced at Hinata Hizashi indifferently. At this time, Hinata Hizashi just lowered his head in silence and did not speak.

Hinata Hiashi said softly at this time: "Elder Hui, Yuzuru is a good boy."

"Humph, of course I know! But, don't say you can't tell what the third generation is thinking."

Hinata Teru suppressed his anger.

Just join the Anbu.

Do you also want Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, to be Hyuga Yuzuru's teacher?

Do they really want to develop him into a direct descendant or is he just a thorn in the Hyuga clan?!
Hinata Teru is not afraid that Hyuga Yuzuru will become the direct descendant of the third generation. In fact, he has a good relationship with the third generation, which is also beneficial to the family. However, he must always remember that he is a member of the Hyuga clan.

Is this punishing him because he did something wrong?

No, no.

This is dog training.

Hyuga Yuzuru knew his purpose very well. The so-called punishment for not reporting what he knew was better to say that Hinata Teru had been waiting for an opportunity to do this to him after he refused to brand Hyuga Neji. .

The key to his punishment this time was not that he went to the Uchiha clan or did not report Jiraiya's matter. It was just that Hinata Teru simply wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him know what the "destiny" of the branch family was.

"Elder Hui, this is the order of the Third Hokage after all, and Yuzuru may not know the strangeness of it." Hinata Hiashi said softly.

"I know." Hinata Hui took a deep breath, seeming to calm down the anger in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Jiraiya, just go and study when you should. There is no reason to stop you from the benefits that the Third Generation has given you. "

"However, from today on, you can only go out and practice with Jiraiya in the morning. You must be home before lunch every day. In the afternoon, you will teach Hinata to practice Gentle Fist. You are not allowed to go out unless it is necessary. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Hinata Yuzuru agreed.

If it weren't for Naruto's kindness that he couldn't refuse, I'm afraid Hinata Hui planned to keep him in confinement all day - until his attitude was confirmed.

During this period, there is a high probability that his attitude towards the clan will be observed through various means, and any signs of abnormality will be corrected.

The means of correction?
Hinata Yuzuru touched his forehead and raised his head, his expression still calm: "Anything else?"

"You can go out!"

Hinata Teru gave him a cold look and said, "Jiraiya said he would go to Konoha to hang out and wait for you to come back to him. Don't keep your teacher waiting for too long."

"Yes."

Hinata Yuzuru stood up and turned to leave.

Hinata Hizashi just stared at his figure silently, as if the person who had been punished and taught a lesson just now was not his son, but deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Do you really know what you are doing? Rizu, Elder Hui?
Hinata Hizashi's silent attitude made Hinata Hui quite satisfied, thinking that Hinata Hizashi's attitude was very correct and he was a qualified head of the branch family.

Slowing down their tone, the three began to discuss the arrangements for Hinata Yuzuru this time.

As for the issue of Hyuga Yuzuru joining the Uchiha clan and becoming Jiraiya's apprentice, who cares?

The Sandaime personally appointed him to team up with Shisui as teammates, so what's wrong with him going to visit his seniors in the Anbu?

It didn't matter whose disciple he became, as long as he was a bird in a cage, he would be a member of the Hyuga clan all his life.

But how to make this separated ninja obtain greater benefits for Hinata in these events, this is what they need to discuss.

Hinata Yuzuru just left Hinata's house with a calm expression.

Standing at the door, turning around and looking back.

Is this the limit of your ability? As my first obstacle, it is a bit disappointing.

Then, he chuckled twice, pushed up his glasses, and walked onto the streets of Konoha, looking for Jiraiya.

This great ninja hero is easy to find, as long as you know how many female bathhouses there are in Konoha.
