However, what if the head of the Hyuga clan was really killed.

The resulting consequence is a fight to the death between the Hyuga clan and Sasuke.

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke represents Hokage and even Konoha itself to a large extent.

Further reasoning, Sasuke was really allowed to attack the Hyuga clan.

Then, the sense of security of the other five major families, including Inuzuka Tsume, will also be greatly impacted.

By then, things will definitely go in an extremely uncontrollable direction.

Even Inuzuka Tsumugi, who is not good at thinking, understands this principle.

At this moment, after hearing Jiraiya's warning, Hyuga Hiashi felt a little scared.

My whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

He could clearly sense that this kid named Uchiha Sasuke really wanted to kill him just now.

This kind of strong feeling of oppression when facing a strong enemy, like a huge wave surging over, is something Hinata Hiashi has not felt for many years.

You know, even in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" planned by Orochimaru before, as the backbone of defending the village, Hyuga Hiashi himself only took action to deal with a few Chuunin-level soldiers.

He has always been unwilling to easily participate in the confrontation between strong players.

At this moment, under the pressure of his life being in danger, Hyuga Hiashi no longer had the energy to maneuver, and he said hastily:

"Hokage, this is what happened. Hyuga Neji violated the clan rules and practiced long-range ninjutsu without permission. This is not only against me, but also against the entire Hyuga clan."

"Rizu!"

Just as Hyuga Hiashi was about to make a full confession, the head elder of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Yoshio.

Finally he walked in from outside the courtyard and interrupted the patriarch's statement.

Entering the courtyard, Hyuga Seio and Hyuga Hiashi looked at each other for a second.

But this second conveys thousands of words.

I can’t say, Rizu.

can not say.

Once the family affairs are reported to the Hokage, it is equivalent to voluntarily handing over the power of decision to the Hokage.

In name, Konoha is the leader of the Hyuga clan.

In fact, the Hyuga clan makes all decisions behind closed doors and keeps everything secret.

The key lies in the word "report".

Once it is "reported", then according to the law, the Hokage will naturally have the right to participate in the speech and thus have a de facto influence on the ruling.

Then, once the gap is opened, the advantages accumulated by our Hyuga clan through years of struggle may be completely destroyed in your hands.

You must understand that the day is enough.

The independence and glory of the Hyuga clan is more important than your life and mine.

Hyuga Seio had discussed these matters with Hyuga Hiashi before.

At this moment, seeing Hyuga Seio's familiar eyes again, Hiashi finally came back to his senses.

The originally frightened look gradually became calm and determined.

Hyuga Shixiong withdrew his gaze and turned to Uchiha Sasuke and others.

He bowed respectfully to the Hokage, and then slowly spoke to everyone:

"No matter what, Neji's affairs are the family affairs of my Hyuga clan.

"I'm afraid there's no need to report this to Sasuke-sama?"

"Hyuga Neji is my Konoha's Jonin! I now have sufficient evidence to suspect that he was persecuted by you!"

Looking at another annoying guy who suddenly appeared, Uchiha Sasuke felt extremely annoyed.

The murderous intent surrounding him once again spread violently.

"Look, who is this?"

Hyuga Shio said calmly.

He moved aside and behind him, Hyuga Neji was standing there with a pale face.

"Neji?!"

After many days, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but be overjoyed to see his close friend again.

In this kind of scenario, the other party would definitely not dare to make any small moves in front of the Hokage.

Uchiha Sasuke asked loudly:

"Are you ok?"

"I, I'm fine."

There was also great excitement in Hyuga Neji's eyes.

But compared to Sasuke, he still controlled his emotions and answered as calmly as possible.

“Go ahead, kid.

"Your thoughts no longer belong to my Hyuga clan."

Hyuga Shio said calmly.

With just a light push, he pushed Hyuga Neji to the center of the crowd.

Neji looked back and saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on Hyuga Shigeo's face, reflecting the wrinkles carved by time.

Those wrinkles are like marks of history, recording Hyuga Shigeo's life-long planning and cruelty, and also telling of his concern and loyalty to the Hyuga clan.

At the beginning, it was this guy who pushed his father Hyuga Hizashi out with an expressionless face.

A trace of resentment flashed through Neji's heart. He no longer hesitated and walked towards Uchiha Sasuke firmly.

"I will set my terms."

Hyuga Yoshio's calm voice echoed in the courtyard:

“Let Neji become the elder of the Hyuga clan. His children can enter the main family system as an exception. And Neji only needs to hand over and destroy the bow and crossbow.

“In the future, we will move forward hand in hand.”

Along with the steady voice of Hyuga Seio, Hyuga Hiashi behind him gradually understood.

Not bad.

How to deal with this matter is not the most important thing.

In the current situation, the more critical issue is who should be responsible for handling it.

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke was stunned when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Hyuga Neji.

Neji's figure was a little shaky, and he said weakly but firmly:

"I reject!"

Hinata Hiashi had already offered similar conditions to me when they were talking alone in the study that day.

It’s just that the specific price is not that high.

On the opposite side, Hyuga Shio seemed to have anticipated this.

His expression remained unchanged, and he immediately gave his second condition:

"Or. Take Neji away, either to join the Anbu or send him to the battlefield. In short, he is not allowed to approach the territory of our Hyuga clan again.

"From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other and will not bother each other."

"Elder Shixiong."

This time, before Hyuga Neji could react, Hyuga Hiashi next to him could no longer bear it.

He hesitated and whispered:

"That heavy crossbow."

"The bird has already escaped from the cage. The world is so vast. Is that the only heavy crossbow in the world?"

Hyuga Shio lowered his eyebrows and responded indifferently.

"But."

Hinata Hiashi wanted to say something.

Suddenly, he noticed a fierce look flashed across Hyuga Shixiong's eyes, and he immediately understood what was going on. He stepped aside and said no more.

On the side, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but get a little excited when he heard the second condition proposed by Shixiong.

He asked loudly:

"Since we agreed not to disturb each other, can you remove this damn curse mark on my forehead immediately?"

"."

A gentle breeze blew slowly among the crowd.

After a strange silence, Hinata Hiashi slowly spoke:

“When this curse was first created, there might have been a solution.

"But to be honest, the solution to the 'Bird in a Cage' curse has been completely lost since my father's generation."

"Lost, lost?

"What do you mean by lost?!"

Hyuga Neji repeated the clan leader's words in a daze, and his tone became excited.

"At this point, you still won't behave yourself?"

Beside him, Uchiha Sasuke was the first to react and asked loudly.

Hearing Sasuke getting angry, Hinata Hiashi shrank his neck reflexively.

"Everything he said is true, Sasuke-sama."
