Konoha: The young son-in-law of the Hyuga family

dong dong dong-

boom boom-

The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers sounded in unison.

It is intertwined with the sound of children playing and adults discussing.

Today's Hyuga Clan is extraordinarily flamboyant, changing from their usual low-key style in the village.

The high fence separates their family from Konoha, and only Hinata can enjoy this excitement and joy.

All kinds of food stalls can be seen everywhere on the streets of the clan land, but these are not stores that sell, but are provided free of charge to those in need in the clan.

Occasionally, there are confident ninjas in the clan who set up a ring and invite other ninjas in the clan to come forward to challenge and learn from actual combat, so that the children in the clan can see the power of ninjas earlier.

People of the same clan, everyone yelled and cheered, and they didn't turn red when they were beaten, and their strikes were very measured.

The annual family festival will be held today.

In the clan, the famous and promising clan members in history are enshrined in the deepest part of the family mourning hall.

And today, their spiritual seats will all be invited out to tour the clan grounds, so that their heroic souls can see the changes of the clan every moment.

But apart from these, today's center is still in the meeting hall near the main house.

I just worshiped the ancestors from the mourning hall, and their spirit seats were invited out of the mourning hall to be carried by the selected ninjas for a parade.

As the patriarch, Hyuga Hyuzu, the elders of the clan, Hyuga Nizashi, and the ninjas can't wait to gather in the meeting hall, preparing to share what happened in the clan last year and what they plan to do in the next year. Things are sorted out and arranged in general.

In previous years, Ryosuke and Hinata did not participate in such meetings.

Ryosuke has no time here, and Hinata has no qualifications.

But this year, they are all fortunate to sit in this hall and discuss matters with the elites of the clan.

"Today... is the beginning of winter, and it is also the family's annual festival."

Sitting on the main seat, Hyuga Hyuzu put on a straight face, facing the elites and clan elders in various positions in the clan, "According to the past practice, I have already completed all the business documents that you handed over to me before the clan meeting. Make sure it's clear and sort it out."

"But before we start discussing some of your opinions on the development of the family, my daughter...that is, the future heir of the Patriarch—Hinata Hinata has something to say to you."

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the atmosphere inside the meeting hall is relatively solemn and traditional.

There are no common and convenient tables and chairs, and everyone, including Hinata Hizuru, only has a soft futon as a cushion.

Everyone sat on the ground without anything to eat, not even water.

Sitting on the left side of Hinata Hinata, Hinata moved forward a little after he spoke, and looked at the clansmen in front of her with the same serious attitude as her father, "I believe you all know who I am, So here, I won’t introduce myself much.”

"Because at present, I am only the heir of the Patriarch, not the Patriarch, so here I call you seniors, seniors in the ninja profession."

Her tone was firm and serious.

And below, many of the Hinata tribe who already knew what she was going to say next were very excited and showed it to the outside.

But those who didn't know all looked at each other in blank dismay, full of doubts.

Among them, several elders who are highly respected in the clan are also included.

"Actually, what I want to say is very simple. To sum it up in just one sentence, it is to change the ancient clan system so that our clan is no longer a lifeless one."

Hinata glanced at the people below, and said confidently, "I want to take down the sharp sword engraved by the bird in the cage, so that it will no longer hang above everyone's heads..."

"presumptuous!"

But before Hinata could finish what she wanted to say, a white-haired old man directly spoke directly below, interrupting her words.

I saw that the old man was trembling with anger from this sentence. He stretched out his arm and pointed at Hinata with his skinny fingers, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"

But soon, he set his sights on Hyuga Hyuzu again, "Hyuga, I know that you have great opinions on some things in the clan, and I also know that you don't care about the opinions of us old men."

"But if you have something to say, just say it. There is no need for such a little girl to block the knife, let alone threaten us with such unfilial words."

"You are Hinata's Patriarch, don't be childish!"

Obviously, this family has always misunderstood something.

I always thought that Hinata Hinata was because they elders were usually dissatisfied with the interference he arranged, so I wanted to use Hinata to convey some of his ideas and beat them.

Except for the irritable-looking elder, the other elders sitting in the elder's position were relatively calm, but they all stared at Hyuga Hidetsu, waiting for his reply.

But behind them, the rest of the Hyuga clan, those family elites that Hinata and the others hadn't had time to contact during this period, were a little dazed and at a loss.

Change... clan system?

"Old Yixiong, please don't get me wrong, this is not what my father meant."

But for this impolite old man, Hinata was obviously very gracious, and she didn't get angry or discouraged because of it, but looked at him quietly, and waited until he finished speaking before speaking again.

"I came up with this matter myself, and my father agrees with this matter."

"In the clan, more than half of the people are willing to support the family reform I proposed."

Sure enough, still a little young.

Sitting on the other side of Hinata Hyuzu, Ryosuke didn't expect that Hinata would throw this card out so quickly, but it doesn't matter.

She grew up very quickly. From him and her father, she learned to look at things from various angles and to consider in a longer-term direction.

But... the way of talking and negotiating, and the way of doing things to realize one's inner thoughts are still relatively immature.

"More than half of the people?"

The clan elder named Kazuo snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced at the other people behind him, and after a while he turned his head again and put his eyes on Hinata, "You little baby, what reforms can you come up with?" method?"

"Although you are the future heir of the family, it is not that there is no one who can replace you. I think your sister is good. I heard that she has recently started to practice soft boxing, which is much faster than you were back then."

"Hinata, it's not your word, it's not something you can change with just a word."

Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, he doesn't think Hinata, a little guy who hasn't graduated from ninja school, can have any abilities.

"Of course I have thought about these things seriously, otherwise I would not have been able to convince my father."

Keeping a dignified posture on his face, Hinata glanced directly at the Kazuo clan elder in front of him, "First of all, as an elite in the clan, I don't know if you seniors have noticed something."

"It's been too long in our clan, and there hasn't been a real genius, I mean... a genius like the Uchiha clan."

For this matter, she is very confident.

And rather than persuading the clan elders present, Hinata prefers to inform other people present of such a matter.

Therefore, she did not answer the question of the old and the old of the male clan.

"In the long history of Hyuga, I found that there are too few outstanding ninjas in our clan. I think our decadent and rigid system has obscured the eyes of the clansmen looking to the sky."

"The moment the clansmen are branded with the Bird in a Cage mark, the moment the clansmen of the branch family understand the meaning of their existence, in fact, the upper limit for many people has already been set."

"Perhaps at the beginning, the purpose of this system was to protect the pure blood of the main family, but as time went by, this system has gradually deteriorated, and it has begun to corrupt our family like maggots... ..."

Every word and every sentence was transmitted very clearly into the ears of everyone present.

Hinata spread out some things that the separated people would not think about, nor did they dare to think about.

And her confident and generous attitude caused many people present to have unexpected ideas.

It also includes diurnal range.

In the impression of many of them, Hinata used to be like a child of an ordinary family, without the aura that an ancient family should have.

Even, cowardly.

But now, they saw her change from her body.

I feel completely different, even surpassing the tolerance of many peers.

However, this does not mean that the elders present will be easily persuaded by her.

If it was really that simple, then they wouldn't give Hyuga Rizu a headache.

"I admit, I underestimated a little guy like you."

The old man of the Yixiong clan is not the kind of guy who doesn't distinguish between black and white and makes trouble for no reason based on his age.

He first started to refute Hinata's system after thinking about it, "Although what you said is very reasonable, but if something exists, it has the meaning of its existence."

"These systems are the essence of our survival for thousands of years."

"Was once like us, a famous family in the Warring States period, how many families can exist today?"

After confirming that Hinata didn't run on them old people under the behest of Hinata Hizuru, and also confirmed that Hinata didn't just make some play-like proposals on a whim, his attitude improved a lot.

But always, it seems stubborn and feudal.

"Little Hinata, I also have something to say."

Among the clan elders, the Hinata Nai clan elder who was older than Yixiong clan elder also said: "The reason why the system of master family and family division exists is not only to protect the purity of blood, but also to protect the clan members."

"The branched family protects the main family, and the main family also becomes a cage that restricts the separated family, so that the family will not continue to lose money due to power struggles, and eventually die in the internal struggle."

"The imprint of the bird in the cage exists because of this."

"I also have something to say."

Another clan elder spoke.

one by one.

These clan elders can live for so long and still hold high positions in the clan, so they must have certain abilities.

The problems that the patriarch Hyuga Nichizu didn't see clearly, and the problems that Hyuga Hinata, the initiator of the reform didn't see clearly, were raised one by one by them.

Even Ryosuke, who has always been a bystander, didn't realize part of what they proposed.

As he once believed, no system is absolutely perfect and without loopholes.

Any system, as long as you want to find it, if you have the courage to find it, you will definitely gain something.

Ryosuke thought before that maybe the majority of the family supported this hand, and this group of elders would not be willing to stand up against the dissatisfaction of the majority.

But it just so happens that this group of elders are the kind of people who have lived for too long, are not afraid of death, and dare to withstand the pressure of the majority of the family to find loopholes.

Of course, there is also a part of the reason, because Hinata gave them too much time to think, and did not play a good hand of cards in a clearer pattern.

"This……"

Hinata, who was still sitting firmly with her arms upright, began to be a little unable to answer the questions one after another.

But she didn't seem impatient, or at a loss.

Instead, he was thinking hard, trying to answer the questions raised by these clan elders.

So the question is, how should she take into account every problem raised by these elders to improve her reform plan?

"I think this matter should be postponed for a while. When you grow up and want to understand these things, you can start to implement these things."

Looking at Hinata who couldn't answer, the clan elders were not particularly embarrassed, and wanted to give her a step up.

Hinata's performance today has already made them quite satisfied.

As for their question, Hinata glanced awkwardly at the other people who supported her.

Want to take a step back?

she thought.

After all, it is not easy for these clan elders to listen to her idea and think about it today.

Judging from their attitude, it seems that they are not holding a pedantic direction on this matter.

In the future, there may really be a chance.

But... do you really want to procrastinate?

"and many more."

But at this moment, an extremely hoarse and subtle voice sounded, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of several clan elders.

Beside them, the most respected and most experienced old man in the clan suddenly called to stop them.

"Big elder."

Beside him, the few old people who had just spoken stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.

This is an old man whose body is extremely thin, as if he will die at any moment.

Although there is an elder system in the Hyuga Clan, there is no hierarchy.

The title of Great Elder was proposed by these clan elders themselves, in order to distinguish their positions from this old man.

Except for the first elder, Hinata doesn't have any second or third elders.

This is an old man who has survived since the beginning of Konoha's village and has witnessed Konoha's four Hokage eras. He is much older than many people present.

The oldest person in the present day looked at Hinata with his cloudy yellow eyes, "This system...does he agree?"

With an inquiring tone, he asked questions that most people present could not understand.

Who is he?
