Hokage’s strongest sword

You and I Are Just Pawns

Standing in front of the tall gate of Hyuga’s house, Tsunade was in a trance for a while. Although it seems that the Hyuga family is still a big family in Konoha, for some reason, Tsunade still feels that the Hyuga family in his eyes reveals a sense of decay from the inside out. Sure enough, no matter how brilliant it was, will there always be a day of decline?

For some reason, such a thought suddenly popped up in Tsunade’s mind.

Let Shizune go to call the door, and tell the gatekeeper clearly why he came, Tsunade just stood at the door and waited for someone to welcome him in. But unexpectedly, Hyuga Hizuru, who is the head of the Hyuga family, walked out of the gate of the Hyuga family holding the hand of his youngest daughter Hinata Hanabi.

Seeing Hyuga Hyuzu, even Tsunade, who is a Sannin, wants to give the Hyuga family some face. so hurry upWalking a few steps to the front, he slightly arched his hands towards Rizu and said:

“I thought it was the younger generation of the Hinata family who came to welcome us, but I didn’t expect that you, the head of the Hinata family, would go out to greet us in person. We are the people who are visiting. How can you, the head of the family, come out to greet us?”

As Tsunade, who is also from a big family, he naturally understands how great a courtesy it is for Hinata Hinata, the head of the Hinata family, to go out to greet his master and apprentice in person. He remembered that the reason why he came to visit was actually because he lost face to the Hinata family. , even Tsunade felt a little sorry.

“It’s okay, Tsunade-sama is a direct descendant of the Senju clan. Compared with our Hyuga family, which is the real rich family, it’s nothing if I go out to greet you. You and I should not stand at the gate like you push me in.” , please go in and talk about it!”

Speaking, Hyuga Hyuzu made a gesture, obviously inviting Tsunade and Shizune to enter the Hyuga family’s clan.

“Then respect is worse than obedience!”

Tsunade is a bold person, seeing Nizuzu’s words, he naturally has no resistance, but accepts Nizuzu’s invitation calmly.

As the head of the family, the courtyard where Hyuga Hyuzu lives is naturally in the central part of the Hyuga family. Compared with the houses belonging to ordinary members of the Hyuga family in other places, although the courtyard where Hyuga Hyuzu lives is large, it does not have that kind of ostentation. Ordinary luxury, on the contrary, reveals a simple and simple atmosphere everywhere. Maybe this is the general spirit of the Hyuga family? After all, in Tsunade’s impression, most of the ninjas of the Hyuga clan are somewhat old-fashioned.

A group of four people, led by Hinata Hinata, entered the courtyard belonging to the owner, and sat in a tea room. After Hinata Hinata asked Tsunade and Shizune to sit down, they actually began to wash their hands, rinse their mouths and began to prepare. tea ceremony. Knowing that Hyuga Hizuru was serving tea to the guests according to the ancient etiquette, Tsunade naturally watched Hyuga Hizuru patiently as he lighted charcoal, boiled water, and made tea step by step.

This kind of tea ceremony is extremely time-consuming, even if Hyuga Hyuzu is proficient in this way, the movements are very quick, but it has passed nearly half an hour. Tsunade and Shizune, who usually don’t like to kneel and sit, are feeling uncomfortable at the moment, but looking at Hinata Hanabi who came with Hinata Hinata, the little girl is sitting steadily at this moment, as if she has already gotten used to it.

“Please!”

Holding a tea bowl that looks huge in Japanese style tea ceremony, Hizuru held the bottom of the bowl with his left hand and held the edge of the bowl with his right hand. He slowly rotated the tea bowl in his hand, turning the very bright blue-gray tea bowl The pattern of light yellow faintly resembling a flower moved towards Tsunade. Putting the tea bowl at the same level as his forehead, he handed it to Tsunade.

After seeing Hizuru handing the teacup towards him, the sense of solemnity that comes from the blood immediately emerged from Tsunade’s heart. Straightening his body, Tsunade with a very respectful expression stretched out both hands to take the tea bowl that Hinata Hizuru handed over. Also supporting the bottom with his left hand and protecting the rim of the bowl with his right hand, Tsunade turned the light yellow pattern that was originally facing him to face Hinata Hizuru who was serving tea to him. Lifting the tea bowl to his forehead, and bowing slightly to express his gratitude, Tsunade placed the tea bowl in his hand in front of him.

Then Tsunade reached out to pick up the tea bowl again, and finally drank the somewhat viscous tea that had been stirred in it into his mouth. This procedure not only looks cumbersome, but also has extremely strict rules for every movement, whether it is the angle of arm bending or the way of leaning forward, there are certain rules. If it is not from a big family, just familiar with this I don’t know how long it takes to learn the rules of the series.

The tea soup rolled on the tip of Tsunade’s tongue, and there was a sound of sucking azoles. After swallowing the tea soup, Tsunade also expressed his respect for Hyuga Hizuru’s tea ceremony very respectfully. In this way, this tea tasting is the end. And the main drama will also start from here.

“Master Patriarch, in fact, I came to Hyuga’s house this time to apologize.”

Facing Hinata Higashi who is the head of the Hyuga family, Tsunade said to Higashi with due respect.

Maybe it’s because he has been in a high position for a long time, although Tsunade said he came to apologize to himself, Hinata Hizuru didn’t change his expression as if the person Tsunade wanted to apologize to was not himself.

“Why did Tsunade-sama say this? In fact, no matter your situation or the situation of our Hinata family, we are very clear to each other. There is no right or wrong in this matter. If it weren’t for some people in the family If you can’t see the form clearly, in fact, this farcical script will not appear.”

Although the two didn’t say it clearly, everyone knew that the so-called farce was Hinata’s going to participate in the medical ninja training program. As the head of the family, Nizuzu naturally knew that the Hyuga family was already in decline. No matter what kind of struggle, the members of the Hyuga family were the most likely to become victims.

“Although it is rumored that I don’t like my eldest daughter very much, how can parents be so cold-blooded and ruthless? Hanabi is my child, and Hinata is also my child. This time, this group of people picked my daughter up Showing ugliness, no matter what, I will not let my child lose face.”

Nizuzu’s words sounded a little threatening no matter how he heard them. Tsunade himself has a violent temper, and he will explode immediately if something goes wrong. But being threatened by Nizuzu here, Tsunade still didn’tThere was a lot of trouble, but on the contrary, he said to Rizu very calmly:

“You and I are just pawns on someone else’s chessboard. No matter what we do, we are actually under the control of others. This time, I did lose face to the Hinata family, so I will try my best to make you lose all of this.” I will bring back my face for you. I also brought my medical notes, although it is not a precious thing, but it can be regarded as a token of my heart.”
