At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 142 Rebellion

After listening to Hiashi Hyuga's report.

Lin Mo couldn't help but take another look at the old man in front of him.

Hiashi Hyuga is a real talent. No wonder he became the biggest winner in Konoha in the original story. His eldest daughter married the Seventh Hokage, and his youngest daughter has a very high probability of becoming the wife of the future Ninth Hokage.

Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, actually took the initiative to propose abolishing the system of branching into the main family and the branch clan.

It's important to understand that implementing reforms in such a prestigious ninja clan is extremely difficult, especially for someone like him who is the clan leader.

As the head of the main family, he was already a beneficiary of the existing system.

By doing this, Hiashi Hyuga was essentially revolutionizing his own life.

First of all, it's already commendable that he has this awareness; it's not his fault that he lacks the ability to do it.

Just as so many emperors wanted to suppress powerful clans and aristocratic families, not all emperors were like Li Erfeng.

Hiashi Hyuga wanted to abolish the system of main and branch families, but the resistance was enormous. The elders of the main family would never agree to it, and he could not do it alone.

It was precisely because Hyuga Hiashi realized his own powerlessness that he sought Lin Mo's help.

Ever since the Hyuga Hizashi incident, he has been extremely disgusted with the so-called main family and branch family system.

The caged bird caused him to lose his beloved younger brother.

The words Hyuga Hizashi spoke before his death were constantly piercing his heart.

Over the years, there hasn't been a single day that Hiashi Hyuga didn't want to abolish this system.

This sentiment intensified after Hanabi was born.

According to the existing system, Hinata Hyuga, who was born first, is the future heir to the main family.

This also means that the fireworks will be separated.

From the day Hanabi was born, the elders of the clans began urging Hyuga Hiashi to put her in a caged bird trap.

Hiashi Hyuga did not want to see the tragedy of his generation repeat itself in his children's lives.

Hyuga Hiashi initially acted as the clan leader, but in the past two years, he used the early death of his wife as an excuse to keep delaying things.

But as long as the system remains, the curse of the caged bird will hang over his daughter's head like the Sword of Damocles.

First it was her younger brother, and now it's her own daughter.

No wonder Hiashi Hyuga wanted to abolish this system.

Moreover, as Hyuga Neji grew older, his talent gradually emerged, but the system of the main family and branch family restricted the growth of this genius.

Although Neji is considered a genius of the Hyuga clan, due to his branch family background, he is not qualified to learn many advanced taijutsu techniques from the main family. In the original work, Neji relied on his terrifying talent to master the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and the Rotation Technique on his own.

If he had received such advanced physical training from a young age, his potential would have been even greater.

Hiashi Hyuga wondered how he would face his brother after he passed away.

She had already promised him that she would take good care of Neji.

Therefore, for Hiashi Hyuga, Lin Mo's appearance was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lin Mo's actions these days have all been shocking and unconventional.

In Hiashi Hyuga's eyes, Lin Mo was a founder, even if he was somewhat ruthless and cruel.

But to break the Hyuga clan, a family that has corrupt traditions ingrained in its very bones, we need people like this.

“Okay, I’ll go with you to the Hyuga clan,” Lin Mo said.

Hiashi Hyuga knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times, and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" (Hyuga Clan)

At this moment, six elderly people were sitting on both sides of the hall, with several middle-aged people standing behind each of them.

The Hyuga clan members present had one thing in common: none of them had bandages or ninja headbands on their foreheads.

These guys are all from the main family.

The six people sitting there were the six elders of the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga main family, including the line of the clan head, consists of seven branches.

"Hiashi, what do you want to do by calling us all over here at this time?"

"Hopefully there will be some good news. He has been the clan leader for so many years, but instead of leading the clan to greater glory, the Hyuga clan's status is declining. It's time for him to step up and do something."

"What can he accomplish? I saw it back then: there was no future in handing the clan chief position to him. As the clan chief, he actually thought of throwing his life away. And his youngest daughter's caged bird mark—all these years later, it still hasn't been applied. If he can't even manage his own small family, how can he possibly manage a large one!"

Several clan elders' faces revealed their dissatisfaction with Hyuga Hiashi, the clan leader.

"The clan chief has returned."

Just then, someone ran in to report.

The six elders present remained seated without moving, showing no intention of rising to greet him. By seniority, they were all Hyuga Hiashi's elders.

In wealthy and powerful families, seniority is the most important factor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has also come with the clan chief."

Swish!
Hearing that Lin Mo had also come along.

The six elders present stood up almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the clansman who had given the report, their gazes filled with murderous intent.

You're saving something this important for last?!
Are you trying to kill us?

From Lin Mo's massacre of four clans in Konoha to his invasion of the Daimyo's capital in the Land of Fire and his self-proclamation as emperor.

And after declaring himself emperor, he engaged in a series of bloody and cruel actions.

Lin Mo had already left an indelible mark on the hearts of all Konoha ninjas.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

As the six clan elders watched Lin Mo about to enter the main hall from afar, they quickly stepped forward and knelt down.

One by one, the old men in their sixties and seventies, who usually acted arrogantly in the clan, were now kneeling on the ground like dogs, sticking their buttocks up high.

Hiashi Hyuga, who was following behind Lin Mo, felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this scene.

Having served as the head of the Hyuga clan for so many years, he had never received such respect from them before, and sometimes they were not even willing to put on a show.

Back then, the fate of his younger brother was decided by these people; as the clan leader, he had no say in the matter.

Lin Mo walked straight to the head seat at the top, sat down with an air of authority, and picked up some snacks from the table to eat.

“Hiashi, now that all the elders of your Hyuga clan are here, you can say whatever you want to say,” Lin Mo said.

Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath and said loudly, "I, Hyuga Hiashi, as the head of the Hyuga clan, have summoned all the elders here today to discuss one thing, which is to abolish the clan's main family and branch family system."

The voice just fell.

The expressions of the Hyuga main family members present changed drastically.

They actually changed the ancestral laws!
That's absolutely outrageous!
If Lin Mo hadn't been there, these old guys probably would have given Hyuga Hiashi a good dressing down.
