"Summon all the main disciples of my Hyuga clan immediately. The Hokage has something to say to all of us!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, no one can be absent."

Hinata Shigao said coldly with an indifferent expression.

"Yes!"

As the news spread, commotion began to break out in the ancient territory.

"Hokage-sama is here in person? Why?"

"What's this Uchiha kid planning to do?"

"Hey, what else could it be.

"Since we have already made it clear that bygones are bygones, you are just trying to curry favor with our Hyuga clan."

“If you ask me, those old guys in the Zong family are really confused. They insisted on keeping us under house arrest for such a long time.

"Look, everything is alright!"

"Humph, this is the bloodline limit of my Hyuga clan. Looking around, which ninja village wouldn't be jealous?

"Staying in Konoha is a favor to him. If..."

"Come on, come on, shut up."

"I'd like to see how many heads that kid has.

"I actually scared those old guys like this."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the not-so-small courtyard was already densely packed with members of the Hyuga clan.

Previously, Uchiha Sasuke had completely stopped assigning tasks to the Hyuga clan.

At the same time, Hyuga Seiko also wisely adopted a low-key strategy.

If not necessary, all family members should stay at home to minimize the occurrence of any incidents.

With the combination of these two factors, the Hyuga clan is now the most fully staffed one.

Uchiha Sasuke stood in the courtyard, looking at the densely packed crowd, secretly counting the number of people in his heart.

Forty-seven people.

It was exactly the same as the information previously obtained from Hinata Seiko's mind.

The setting sun poured down like molten gold, coating the ninjas in the courtyard with a layer of golden glow.

Their shadows lengthened in the setting sun, intertwining with the mottled walls of the ancient house, as if a historical scroll was being repainted at this moment.

"Close the doors and don't let those strangers disturb the Hokage's speech."

On the side, Hyuga Shigao once again commanded everyone to block all the door lintels everywhere.

After settling down, Hyuga Shigao silently walked to the front of the crowd and waited quietly for Uchiha Sasuke's speech.

"Today, I got some very interesting news."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at everyone and began his twilight speech:

"Hyuga Hiashi's daughter, the former heir to the family head, Hyuga Hinata, was marked as a caged bird and was assigned to a branch family."

After a pause, Uchiha Sasuke smiled and asked gently:

"Elder Tanaka, is this true?"

"It's true."

Here, Hinata Tanaka took half a step forward and said respectfully:

"According to the tradition of my Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinata is already a member of a branch family.

“According to convention, it was originally necessary to wait until the next heir to the clan leader was three years old before he would be engraved with the caged bird’s guardian seal.

"However, as a descendant of a traitorous ninja, he can no longer retain his status as a member of our main family!"

At the side, another elder also spoke up:

"Regarding the treatment of this person, I originally wanted to ask you, Hokage, to make the decision.

"It's just that you are busy with official duties and we haven't found a suitable opportunity yet."

"So, the identity of the Hyuga clan cannot be tarnished, right?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked calmly.

"Not bad!"

On this side, Hinata Tanaka immediately nodded solemnly, his face full of the look of a loyal and honorable noble.

“So, today, it’s really an honor.

"We can gather here with all the children of the Hyuga clan."

The setting sun shone on everyone's faces.

Except for a few ninjas, such as Hinata Tetsu, everyone's face showed a determined look of honor.

And many young people could not hide their pride in their eyes at this moment.

Each of them looked at each other as if to say, what did I say?

"I once discussed with the head of the Nara clan, Shikamaru Nara, the existence of 'jade' in shogi."

Uchiha Sasuke continued his speech:

"The outcome of a chess game ultimately depends on the safety of the 'jade'.

"What is considered 'Jade' also greatly determines the rules of conduct of a ninja, a family, or even a ninja village.

"no doubt,"

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at everyone and said calmly:

"Everyone here is the 'Jade' of the Hyuga clan."

In the sky, the clouds are burning red.

The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.

The owl slept for a whole day. It shook its dizzy head, flapped its wings and flew onto a branch.

In the quiet courtyard, Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"But this doesn't match the 'jade' I recognize."

A breeze blew through the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the ninjas of the Hyuga clan were somewhat confused as to what the Hokage was trying to express.

"Ah, that's right, Hokage-sama."

At the front of the team, an elder from the clan pushed his reading glasses and said pedantically:

"The purpose of the Caged Bird Curse is not to protect any specific individual.

"It's to protect the Byakugan, which is a precious strategic advantage for the clan and even the village."

"is it?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the other person, only to see his expression suddenly become stern, and asked in a stern voice:

“What about the chance?!

"Why are you the ones who are being protected, while those guys from the branch families outside are born to be slaves for you to command, or even to die for you?!"

Faced with the Hokage's sudden anger, the young ninjas in the crowd, who were originally dozing off, couldn't help but shudder.

"If I'm not mistaken, Hyuga Hinata was made into a branch family, and she was ready to be pushed out to be a scapegoat for you bastards to atone for their sins and die, right?!"

Uchiha Sasuke turned and looked at the two old men who spoke first, his eyes as sharp as lightning.

"Of course, this is entirely up to you, Lord Hokage."

Hinata Tanaka avoided Uchiha Sasuke's gaze and spoke in a low voice.

"is it?"

Uchiha Sasuke was a little angry and laughed. He sneered and said:

"Well, since you are listening to me, why not talk about what the 'jade' in my mind is."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at everyone and said coldly:

"fair.

“Equality of opportunity.

"I don't deny that some people do need to sacrifice in order to protect the existence of others.

"I don't even object to the existence of the structure of the main family and the branch family.

“However, such a clear advantage in position ultimately requires some effort or cost to win.
