"Alas, Elder, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

Uebayashi Kawana waved his hand, a pleased smile on his face. "Actually, I just did what I was supposed to do. It's more about relying on the wisdom of the entire Uchiha clan."

"Even so, without the strict control of Kawa and the clan elders, it would have been extremely difficult for the Uchiha clan to have reached this point."

Fugaku Uchiha continued, "The existence of Kawa and the clan elders is also very necessary."

"understood."

Shang Linchuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I will go this time."

Fugaku Uchiha smiled with satisfaction.

Not long after Uebayashi Kawa had been "persuaded," another clansman came to report: "Clan Chief, the head of the Hyuga clan has come to see you. Should we meet him?"

Fugaku Uchiha slowly raised his head, pondered for a moment, and his brows naturally carried a hint of arrogance.

Although the Hyuga clan has always been subordinate to the Uchiha clan within the entire Hidden Leaf Village, it must be acknowledged that the Uchiha clan's political status has also always been inferior to that of the Hyuga clan.

Fortunately, the current Uchiha clan has turned the tables on them, preventing an even more embarrassing situation from occurring.

Therefore, any member of the Uchiha clan can openly and proudly say that the Uchiha clan is great today, and that everyone is willing to worship them.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the Hyuga clan to come and seek advice from the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku Uchiha could naturally guess the reason why Hiashi Hyuga had come. He smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let them in."

"Yes, Chieftain."

The clansman who came to report responded confidently and then quickly retreated.

Not long after, Hyuga Hiashi appeared opposite Uchiha Fugaku.

The two looked at each other, a smile mixed with reminiscence on Fugaku Uchiha's face, and he said with emotion, "I still vaguely remember that before, my Uchiha clan had to rely on the Hyuga clan."

Unexpectedly, everything has changed in such a short time.

Even now, thinking about it feels like a dream.

Hiashi Hyuga pursed his lips, listening to Fugaku Uchiha's words, a slight ripple of emotion stirred within him, but he quickly and directly asked, "So, how do we resolve the matter of the Hyuga clan?"

How can the conflict between the clan and the branch family be resolved?

Didn't Lord Yun'an already make everything clear last time?

Has the head of the Hyuga clan still not made up his mind?

"Sometimes, if this festering wound is not removed, it will spread to the entire body."

At that point, trying to save this terminally ill patient would be an impossible task.

Fugaku Uchiha spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable authority, "I believe the Hyuga clan should also be able to understand this simple truth."

As a competent politician, Fugaku Uchiha's words and actions at this moment, including every single sentence he uttered, seemed to carry a special deeper meaning.

He spoke softly, his gaze gentle and kind, and every word he uttered seemed to leave no room for rebuttal.

"I'd like to know, are there any other, better ways?"

Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice, clearly not wanting to take that most desperate path.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but chuckle: "Hyuga clan leader, you should know that there's nothing in this world without risk."

Even though my Uchiha clan has come this far, it has still been extremely difficult.

The element of luck, and various other factors involved, is truly difficult to explain.

"Understood."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slowly.

Unable to get the answers he wanted from the Uchiha clan, he indeed had no reason to stay any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, Fugaku Uchiha suddenly spoke up and dropped a bombshell: "I do know a way."

If the Hyuga clan can jointly recommend Orochimaru to become the next Fifth Hokage, perhaps my Uchiha clan can intervene in matters concerning the Hyuga clan.

For example, methods for freeing a caged bird.

"Now that the caged bird has been freed, and the clan and the family have separated, can the previous stability still be maintained?"

Hiashi Hyuga immediately grasped the core of the problem, and in just a moment, he found the flaw in Fugaku Uchiha's words.

Fugaku Uchiha, however, was prepared and smiled faintly, saying, "What if it's just a few individual caged birds?"

For example, it allows users to exchange contribution points for spells to remove the caged bird effect.

"After all, the Hyuga clan has the technique for the Caged Bird, but they don't have a way to release the Caged Bird from its cage."

If this were to fall into the wrong hands, the internal conflicts within the Hyuga clan would likely only escalate.

"Instead of leaving this flaw unresolved, it might be better to fix it after the fact. Perhaps the benefits would be greater."

At this moment, in Hiashi Hyuga's eyes, Fugaku Uchiha was clearly a man-eating demon.

His words were tempting, but the price behind that temptation was something not everyone could afford.

"I see."

Hiashi Hyuga spoke slowly, these words signifying that he had already made his own compromise.

The Uchiha clan's fate is sealed; no one can change it.

Therefore, the Hyuga clan had no choice but to compromise. Otherwise, if they opposed the Uchiha clan, the entire Hyuga clan would likely fall into unimaginable trouble, and at that time, the entire Hyuga clan would be completely wiped out.

As Hiashi Hyuga left, Fugaku Uchiha's smile grew even more satisfied.

This sense of strategic mastery is something that most people find extremely difficult to experience.

Fugaku was in a good mood.

Mikoto walked out of the living room, wearing beige loungewear, with a gentle smile on her face.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded slightly; at this moment, silence spoke louder than words.

Mikoto remains as intelligent as ever.

"Everything is moving in a positive direction."

"Uchiha Fugaku said softly."

Mikoto smiled slightly and responded softly.

She was merely talking, but the real pressure was always on the other person.

Fortunately, everything is getting better, and that's enough.

……

Meanwhile, the Hyuga clan's territory was in an uproar.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."

"Contribution points to remove the caged bird?"

If such a thing were to happen, who would be responsible for the safety of the entire clan?

"The Byakugan and the entire Hyuga clan will gradually become easy prey in everyone's eyes."
