Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 13 Who won?
"A good move is to retreat into advance."

Hinata Hiashi stood in the shade of a tree in the distance, looking at the Third Hokage with a complicated look.

Originally he didn't understand why his father suddenly passed the position of patriarch to him, but now he understood.

In order to deal with the branch family issue, this Hokage had already taken action.

Arrange the ninjas who retreated from the Raigin battlefield in various units, let them spontaneously spread the glory of the Fourth Hokage, and lay the foundation for their own abdication.

Then today, in the name of abdication, he granted the grace of separation.

Could the branch family resent his previous indifference?
No!

Things that the first two generations of Hokage did not change were changed by the Third Hokage. Even the Kage of the village bowed his head and apologized for them and stepped down from the position of Hokage. What could they resent?
But, this is what the branch family fought for themselves!

Some of the rebellious branch families even killed the main family. If the Hyuga main family does not want to completely turn against the branch families, it will have to make some compromises.

But the separated family will not know this.

Therefore, the three generations could use this as a favor to divide the family property.

If you just loosen the reins a little, many branch ninjas will be grateful.

Because no one believed that anyone could break the caged bird, the branch family ninjas who had long been accustomed to the caged bird did not believe that the main family would be able to remove it.

As for the Zong family’s thoughts?
Recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen has not stepped up efforts to search for the murderer, and his indifferent attitude may have put pressure on the main family and forced them to cooperate with him.

The branch family respects him, and the main family owes him a favor.

The Hyuga clan, which has always been low-key, was pulled onto the chariot by the third generation!

Brilliant means.

Although this also prevented the Third Hokage from tracking down the murderers, lest the branch families would be unhappy and his plan would be in vain, the branch families that were secretly acting were also restrained.

Many branch families have already been satisfied. If they continue to act, the branch families may not support them. The Third Hokage can then not worry about the opinions of the majority of the branch families and directly use thundering means to kill them.

Looking at the Third Hokage standing up because of the branch family's understanding and looking in his direction with a smile, Hiashi took a deep breath.

"Hiashi, it's our turn now. From now on... we can be as close as we were in the past."

Hinata Hizashi looked at the Hokage on the platform with a dazed look in his eyes, "Is it really the same?"

Rizu didn't answer and took the lead.

His and Hiashi's promotion to the throne represented a concession by the main family, which would further extinguish the anger of the branch family that had lasted for hundreds of years. He didn't know whether this was right.

All he knew was... he had no choice.

Seeing the two sons of the clan leader coming on stage, Hinata Miyuki closed her eyes, turned around and was about to leave.

She didn't want to listen, nor did she want to see the satisfied expressions of her tribesmen.

There is no win in the separation!
What's there to be happy about?

A hand reached out from the crowd and grabbed Hinata Miyuki who was about to leave. She looked at it with a frown.

It's Hinata Yu.

The boy, who was about her age, smiled like the people around her, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The other party listened carefully to Hiashi and Hizashi's speech on "bringing a new style to Hyuga" and took back the hand that was holding her.

During this process, Hinata Yu made several indistinguishable gestures.

It’s the secret code of the Mist Hidden Battlefield!

Because the Kirigakure's specialty is the Kirigakure technique, which can conceal the enemy's whereabouts, the Hyuga ninjas who act as eyes prepared several sets of secret codes to covertly inform their companions of the enemy's location.

The enemy's position is at eight o'clock...

Hinata Miyuki instantly understood the meaning of these words and calmed down.

There was also a gentle smile on his face.

Yeah, this is the best time.

A chance to observe how many people in the branch family are extremely dissatisfied with the main family!

What's wrong recently?
Since you plan to take everything on yourself and then defect, deep down you don't care about other people's suspicions?

Even basic vigilance has been lost!

Hinata Miyuki was secretly alert and gave Hinata Yu a look of gratitude and apology. Maybe they wouldn't do anything right away, but the main family would definitely monitor those who were still dissatisfied and deal with them in the future.

Hinata Yu reminded her that it was risky, as her expression and movements might have been observed just now.

Ignoring Hinata Miyuki's gaze, Hinata Yu took in the scene around him and carefully checked everyone's expressions.

Anyone who smiled sincerely was quickly excluded by him.

Others he kept in mind.

"There are unexpectedly many people, about thirty?"

"Looks like I have to thank Orochimaru."

After a long while, Hinata Hiashi announced: "Start now, carve a new caged bird!"

……

At home, Hinata Yu was writing his name on a blank scroll.

Those were the names of the branch family members that he had written down earlier.

Hinata Mingyu was like a guard at this time, standing behind him, looking at those names one by one, burning with anger.

"Do you want to unite with them to fight against Konoha and the main family?"

He couldn't match them up, but he knew that these people were the ones that Yu had learned about through his perspective before, and they were the ones who were dissatisfied with the Zong family.

"They are qualified." Hinata Yu said indifferently: "Compared to those who are still immersed in their dreams, they are considered to be awake."

There are really many uses for Impure World Reincarnation.

It can be used to summon the dead to fight, or it can be used for research.

Even reconnaissance can be accomplished using Impure World Reincarnation!

The reason why he was able to collect information at will in the morning was because of the Impure World Reincarnation.

The Impure World Reincarnationist can share the vision with the Impure World Ninja. By summoning and placing Hyuga Meiyu, a Kage-level strongman in advance, he can enjoy the effect of the Byakugan on the field.

After all, the characteristics of the Byakugan being activated are too obvious, and he cannot use it in that kind of situation.

As for the people on the list... they are the ones he personally recognized as branches that could be used.

For the next action, if some supplies are needed, these people can also be eliminated first.

"You are so calm, as if you have won. Wasn't your plan easily defeated by that little guy Hiruzen?" Hinata Mingyu sneered.

He is the head of the Hyuga clan who led the Hyuga clan to join Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage who was liked to be called monkey by the Second Hokage, is also a junior in front of him.

"I don't even know what I planned to do with this incident."

Hinata Yu looked at him with amusement.

"If helping a test subject conceal information and gaining some pupil power can be considered a plan, it seems that I completed it perfectly."

Hinata Mingyu still sneered, as if he was looking at a stubborn loser.

"Isn't your goal to free the branch family from the cage and turn against the main family?"

"Although I do need the Hyuga branch to remove the caged bird, it's not what you think."

Hinata Yu put away the scroll, took out a scroll that recorded his research on chakra, and made a spiritual seal.

A white viper appeared, looked at the scroll he handed over, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Watching the white snake disappear on the spot, Hinata Yu chuckled and said:
"I have never thought of becoming the savior of the branch family. I just need a group of helpers who can be of use to me when necessary."

He felt that he was not a bad person who did all kinds of evil, but he was not a good person either.

Of course, there is a price to pay for helping the family break the cage.

"Besides, do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen, or Namikaze Minato really won?"

"The one who pushed him to become Hokage now was me."

In the face of Hinata Mingyu's stiff expression, Yu laughed softly.

"With the seniors of the Sannin still alive, how do you think the Sandaime bypassed them and allowed Minato to directly become Hokage?"
