An uncontrollable rage quietly rose from the depths of his heart.
"The fighting on the front lines is so tough, and Danzo, that old scoundrel, knows perfectly well that the main branch of our Hyuga clan rarely participates in battle, yet he's still urging us on. Is he trying to uproot our Hyuga clan?"
Hiashi Hyuga grabbed the letter, wishing he could tear it to shreds.
However, his hand eventually stopped. Years of sticking to the rules had kept him calm.
"They took our scrolls... and now they want the Hyuga clan to work for them? If the Third Hokage were still alive..."
He paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"No. The Third Hokage is old too. Even if he were still alive, he might not necessarily favor the Hyuga clan."
"Only by appointing the Fourth Hokage can the Hyuga clan reverse its current decline."
"By then, perhaps we can retrieve the scroll..."
Hiashi Hyuga took a deep breath and pulled out the letter belonging to Hizashi Hyuga from the bottom of the mail.
He picked up his pen and instructed his younger brother to assist Minato Namikaze in making contributions on the front lines, and at the same time to win over the smaller families that were on good terms with the Hyuga clan on the front lines.
After finishing writing, Hiashi Hyuga finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his temples wearily, and looked out at the bright moon.
The night breeze gently stirred the candlelight, casting flickering shadows on his face.
"Hiashi, are you still thinking about something?"
An elderly voice came from behind.
Hiashi Hyuga turned around, his throat tightening slightly, and called out with a complex expression:
"Elder...I..."
"No further explanation needed..."
The elder did not rush to speak, but simply looked quietly at the once spirited clan leader before him.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, his tone calm yet composed: "I know... you're somewhat bothered by what I suggested earlier. The fighting on the front lines is so tough, if the main family members aren't going to the battlefield, then the branch family members must step up."
"Qinglan is the best among the younger generation. He should be the one leading this kind of operation. If nothing unexpected happens, after a few more years, he will surely become a pillar of the branch family, just like Rizashi."
He paused for a moment, his cloudy eyes gradually widening as they fixed on Hiashi Hyuga.
"But then an unexpected event occurred. Fate smiled upon Qinglan, granting him hope for the rise of the Hyuga clan. Now that Qinglan has initiated the path to the Hyuga clan's revival, I believe that with his talent, he will eventually understand his ultimate destiny."
"After all... it's all fate's arrangement."
"I see..."
Hiashi Hyuga bowed his head, humbly listening to the elder's teachings.
"So good."
The elder nodded slowly, then stood up, his movements slow and steady. He turned and walked into the depths of the corridor, his voice still carrying clearly back.
"A lot has happened during this period, but you can't fall apart, Hiashi."
"Remember, you are first and foremost the head of the Hyuga clan, and only secondly, the head of the Hyuga Hiashi clan."
"These are the words your father left behind, and also the teachings I give you."
He paused, as if gathering his last thoughts.
"Let's deal with Danzo for now. Since he wants the Hyuga clan to send people, let's send a few more children from the branch family... Let Tokuma's squad go."
"As for Hyuga Aoran..."
The elder's tone turned somber for a moment, then finally returned to calm.
"You don't need to get involved; I'll play the villain..."
"These are the last few things I can do for you, even with my old bones."
Chapter 25 You bunch of bastards who steal the bloodline of the White Eye
tick tock...tick tock...
No matter which world you're in, the weather in early spring is always so unpredictable.
Just moments ago, Konoha Village was bathed in sunshine, but in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a completely different place.
The drizzle was fine and continuous, and the damp air, carrying the scent of earth and grass, rushed towards us.
And this gloomy, rainy night perfectly reflected the Grand Elder's mood at that moment.
The corridor is very quiet.
The only sounds were the rain and the almost frozen air between the two of them.
The elder sat on the edge of the corridor, his aged figure appearing even more hunched under the gray kimono.
Those cloudy white eyes stared fixedly at the willow tree in the courtyard, which was soaked by the rain.
Leaves and branches fell, landing in the mud.
"Qinglan, it's so late, I hope I didn't disturb your cultivation?"
The elder gazed at the drizzling rain under the night sky, his tone casual and indifferent.
"No... Elder, you can come whenever you want."
Hinata Seiran bowed respectfully from three steps away, his attitude both humble and courteous.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
I thought these old guys would observe for a few more days, but I didn't expect Danzo's recruitment to end so quickly.
Hinata Seiran lowered his head, quietly waiting for what was to come.
"Alright then..."
The elder's tone suddenly turned somber, and his words abruptly ended without any transition.
Do you know about the Tenseigan?
Those cloudy white eyes instantly locked onto Hyuga Seiran, as if trying to see right through him.
"Ten-Reigan?"
Hinata Seiran blinked, a hint of confusion appearing in her pure white eyes.
What kind of eyes are those?
"A new bloodline limit?"
“…”
The elder remained silent for a moment, his gaze lingering on Hyuga Seiran for a instant before passing through the rain and landing on the open door.
Do you really not know?
Or is it... a disguise?
"Qinglan".
"exist."
"Can I... trust you?"
"Elder, I would never dare to conceal anything I know."
Hinata Seiran's expression was solemn, his eyes calm.
But inwardly, he shook his head.
Danzo has openly infiltrated the clan's territory to plant spies, yet these senior members of the main clan aren't thinking about how to deal with Danzo, the 'culprit' who stole the scroll.
Instead, they interrogated him, a descendant of a branch family, and manipulated him with power here.
"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong...that truly suits the Hyuga clan..."
Hinata Seiran chuckled inwardly.
Since that's the case, let's add another bit of firewood.
Let this fire burn completely.
With this thought in mind, his consciousness quietly drifted away.
"That's excellent..."
The elder nodded slowly, his tense face seeming to relax for a moment.
"Qinglan, I hope you won't mind my next suggestion."
"After all... this is all for the sake of the Hyuga clan..."
But just as those words fell!
An extremely chilling killing intent suddenly roared out from the darkness on one side of the corridor!
"This is?!"
The elder was shocked, his hair stood on end, and his pupils contracted sharply due to his years of ninja instincts.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Qinglan, only to see the boy in front of him suddenly pounce on him!
