What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

This made it difficult for ordinary ninjas to rise in rank.

Looking at the so-called Konoha Twelve, almost all of them were second-generation members, and you knew what was going on.

And this was the first thing Di Yan did after taking control of Konoha.

The solution is to dismantle and reorganize these ninja clans one by one, and redistribute resources.

As for whether doing so will force these ninja clans to betray them...

in fact.

Di Yan never worried about the loyalty of these ninja clans, since they had never been loyal to him.

After Konoha underwent changes.

When ordinary ninjas receive tangible benefits.

Naturally, a large number of people will stand on his side... bowing and kowtowing to him, and being extremely grateful to him.

In the ninja world, the majority of ninjas are commoners...

There's an old saying in my hometown: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world..."

...Spoon.

77. Hinata and Hanabi sleeping together? A warning to others.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward on the way to the Hyuga clan's territory.

Hinata Hanabi puffed out her little face.

Her pure white eyes glared angrily at Di Yan, then occasionally glanced at her older sister Hinata with a wronged look.

For her, who is still young and extremely dependent on her older sister, this is a case in point.

For the past few days, my sister has been exclusively occupied by this so-called "brother-in-law" every night.

She was left all alone.

This is simply an intolerable "betrayal".

Di Yan noticed her undisguised little emotions and found it quite amusing.

He deliberately reached out and pinched Hanabi's soft, chubby cheeks hard, teasingly saying:

"What's wrong, is Hanabi jealous?"

"Why don't you come with me tonight? I wouldn't mind sleeping with you."

Hanabi is young and naive.

They actually took it seriously.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she turned to Hinata expectantly:

"Sister, sister! Is it really okay?"

sleep together?

Hinata suddenly blushed bright red, her ears turning completely red, as if she had just thought of something.

She was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She tugged hard at Hanabi's sleeve, her voice barely audible, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence:

"Fireworks! Don't...don't talk nonsense...this...this kind of thing..."

Looking at the reactions of the two sisters in front of me, one was innocent and naive, while the other was extremely embarrassed.

The displeasure that Di Yan felt due to the Hyuga clan's disobedience was somewhat lessened.

A genuinely amused smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Amidst laughter and conversation (mainly Di Yan was laughing, Hinata was blushing, and Hanabi was confused).

The group had arrived at the gate of the Hyuga clan's territory.

That ancient and majestic gate.

It symbolizes the long-standing heritage and pride of the Hyuga clan.

However, the smile on Di Yan's face vanished the moment he stepped onto this spot.

Instead, it was replaced by a cold, authoritative aura.

He didn't even glance at the gate, simply waving his hand casually.

"Surround it. Not a single fly is allowed to escape."

At the command, hundreds of black-clad ninjas who followed surged silently like a black tide.

In the blink of an eye, they completely surrounded the vast Hyuga clan territory.

A chilling murderous aura spread out.

It was out of place with the tranquil atmosphere of the Hyuga clan's territory.

The Hyuga clan had clearly already noticed such a large commotion.

Led by clan head Hiashi Hyuga, a group of key members from the Hyuga main family and branch families had gathered outside the main family mansion to "welcome" them.

But when they saw that Di Yan had sent troops to surround the entire clan territory without saying a word...

Everyone's expression changed instantly.

A collective gasp and gasps rose from the crowd.

Panic spread rapidly, like a plague.

The battle that overthrew Konoha and stained the square with blood a few days ago is still fresh in my mind.

His Majesty the Emperor's ruthlessness and power have long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

This situation clearly indicates that the visitors have ill intentions!

Hiashi Hyuga's heart was in his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

As the clan chief, he naturally knew how risky and "traditional" the decision made by the clan elders' council was.

However, he could not go against the collective will of the main family.

At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and force a smile that could be considered respectful.

He stepped forward and bowed in greeting:

"Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, respectfully welcomes His Majesty the Emperor."

Di Yan's gaze swept over Hyuga Hiashi, and then over the various Hyuga clansmen behind him.

His signature gentle yet enigmatic smile returned to his face.

"Chief Rizu, there's no need for such formalities, and everyone please don't be nervous."

He spoke casually, as if he hadn't just ordered the area to be surrounded. "I've come today only to discuss some minor matters with the people of Hyuga."

As he spoke, he naturally stepped forward.

It was as if he was the master here.

Hiashi Hyuga and the others dared not stop them.

He could only lower his head and respectfully lead Di Yan into the Zong family mansion.

The group arrived at a spacious and traditional Japanese-style reception room.

Di Yan walked directly to the main seat and sat down without any hesitation.

Hinata and Hanabi instinctively wanted to stand below with Hiashi and the others.

But Di Yan gave him a look that signaled to him.

He had them sit on either side of him.

This subtle gesture made the eyelids of the Hyuga's high-ranking members twitch.

Seeing his two daughters so obedient in front of Di Yan, Hyuga Hiashi felt a pang of sadness.

Di Yan sat leisurely in the main seat.

His gaze calmly swept over the Hyuga main family elders and Hyuga Hiashi, who were sitting upright and looking tense.

His smile remained warm, but his words instantly chilled the entire reception room to the bone:

"Then, who will tell me now..."

"Who gave you the audacity to disobey my orders?"

silence...

The entire reception room was silent.

After a long silence, Hiashi Hyuga forced himself to speak:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This... is not because Hyuga disobeyed Your Majesty's orders, but because I had no other choice."

Di Yan didn't speak, but just looked at him, signaling him to continue.

Hiashi Hyuga gritted his teeth and added, "I wonder if His Majesty knows about the Hyuga Caged Bird?"

Seeing the subtle change in Di Yan's expression, Hyuga Hiashi dared not say anything more and quickly explained:

"Many people see caged birds as shackles that imprison members of a separated family."

"But in reality, the caged bird is actually a safeguard for the Hyuga clan."

"With its existence, the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit, the Byakugan, has been prevented from being leaked out."

"And since the main family members don't have the protection of the Caged Bird Seal, so... so the Hyuga main family absolutely cannot go to the battlefield."

"This is also to protect Konoha's bloodline limit from leaking out."

After speaking, Hiashi Hyuga carefully observed Di Yan's expression.

Listening to Hiashi Hyuga's seemingly reasonable but actually outdated explanation.

Di Yan still wore that enigmatic, gentle smile on his face, and even nodded in agreement.

"Hmm... I am well aware of the importance of eye rolls."

"The concern that members of the main family going to the battlefield would cause their bloodline to leak out... sounds somewhat reasonable."

Hyuga Hiashiro saw that Teiyan seemed to have been persuaded.

The tension in my heart eased a little.

He secretly rejoiced that the emperor seemed to be able to listen to reason.

“That’s easy to solve!” Di Yan changed the subject. “Why not just carve the caged bird image on all the major clans as well?”

Upon hearing this, the entire Hyuga clan fell silent.

Are you kidding me?

If the main family has carved a caged bird on it, then what's the point of distinguishing between the main family and the branch family?

This was a point of contention that almost every member of the main family had in mind.

They were all dumbfounded.

They seemed to be horrified.

A few members of the Hyuga branch family couldn't help but turn to look at the expressions of the main family members, seemingly with some anticipation.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is joking."

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"A joke? I'm not joking."

Di Yan's gaze swept over the members of the Hyuga main family. "Others can die, so why can't the Hyuga main family members die?"

"this..."
