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

"Miss Hinata is the child of the Hiruzu patriarch. From the moment she was born, most people in our clan recognized that she was the next heir to the patriarch. How can this matter be changed?"

As an important festival of the family, the clan meeting is an annual event in the Hyuga clan.

Almost all the ninjas of the Hyuga Clan gathered in the large open space in front of the mourning hall, waiting for the statue of the heroic ancestors to be invited out of the mourning hall.

And such a serious link as offering incense and inviting spirits in front of the mourning hall is only eligible for the patriarch or heir of the clan.

On the high platform, except for Ryosuke, the three main family members, several clan elders, and the head of the branch family, Hinata Nisai, no one else is qualified to step on it.

But just as Hinata took over the pillar-shaped long incense, and was about to prostrate and invite the spirit, several people stood up from the crowd to stop it.

They believed that Hinata's strength and talent were not enough to be the heir of the patriarch.

And if someone opposes it, someone will naturally stand up to defend it.

"Miss Hinata has been studying hard for the position of patriarch since she was a child. Neji may be stronger than Ms. Hinata in terms of strength, but what can he do in handling family affairs?"

Those few people stood up to be the head of the Hyuga branch, and the head of the ninja with the level of ninja looked at the retorting person calmly, "Ningji's biggest thing is to give us Hinata a face."

"Leaving aside the fact that the first generation of Guanjue graduated early, after all, there are many genius-level ninjas in the village who can do it, but it's not just any genius who can learn the secret technique that can only be learned by the Hyuga Clan."

"Besides..."

As he said that, he turned his attention to Hinata at the top of the stairs again, "I didn't mean to belittle or disrespect Ms. Hinata. I have always admired what she did at an immature age."

"But... as the heir of the family, she doesn't have enough strength to convince the public, which is a mistake in itself."

"Not only did he fail to graduate early, his grades were even suppressed by Uchiha's people."

"If it wasn't for Sasuke Uchiha who graduated early, maybe Ms. Hinata would have a hard time securing the first place in the grade, right? Doesn't this mean that our Hinata is not as good as Uchiha? Even the seats are not needed by others. "

These remarks are of a very high level, not only perfecting the explanation against Hinata being the patriarch, but also emphasizing from another angle that he is considering the family.

If it wasn't for Ryosuke who knew that he had a premeditated plan and that he had evil intentions, he would really have believed him...

In fact, he may not necessarily believe it. Compared with listening to other people's one-sided words, Ryosuke still prefers to verify the whole story by himself.

But even Ryosuke felt that his words were very good, and many other people in the clan began to waver.

"And Ms. Hinata has been trained as the heir to the patriarch since she was born. With so many resources, of course she can do some amazing things."

"But in fact, if Neji, who was separated from us, had been raised in this way since childhood, maybe he could do it? Even... I personally think that Neji might be more perfect than Hinata, don't you think so? Neji."

As he said that, he cast his eyes on Ning Ci who was still a little confused beside him.

As a newly graduated ninja, Neji had no chance to stand in the front row to watch the ceremony.

But because he did some outstanding things, the tribe didn't have any opinion about him standing in the front row.

"I...should be able to."

First, he unconsciously glanced at Ryosuke on the high platform, and Ningji Hyuga nodded, "But if I spend all my time learning and handling affairs, my combat power as a ninja may be reduced..."

His tone was a little hesitant, giving people a feeling of hesitation.

And it was this feeling that made the Jonin even more determined, "You will definitely do what Hinata can learn, Neji."

"You are a genius from our separate families, and you will never lose to anyone. Even if you have both, I believe you can do it."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to the high platform again, and did not speak from the beginning to the end, watching Hyuga Hyuzu and others calmly watching him.

"Patriarch, it was Ms. Hinata who said at the beginning that the position of patriarch should be occupied by those who are capable. Only in this way can we ensure the prosperity of our clan."

"If there is really someone from the branch family who can take the position of patriarch, and the head family is willing to abdicate, and the relevant clan rules have been announced in the clan, you...should have read all of those regulations, right?"

"Clan Head Hyuga, since he has decided to re-establish the clan rules, he can't violate them from the beginning, and there will be cases of non-compliance."

In the crowd, someone stood up and spoke.

"That's right, patriarch. In fact, I also think Ningji is more suitable as the patriarch than Ms. Hinata."

"With Ning Ci's talent, it is indeed more suitable."

"Anyway, she is the head of the clan, so she can't be too weak, right? Hinata's words... I think it will be difficult for her to advance even to the Jōnin. I don't think that when the Jōnin exam comes, a bunch of us will go to study with it..."

...

Several people spoke one after another, and all of them were not low in the clan and had certain positions.

Some of them speak tactfully, some speak bluntly, and some speak harshly.

And with them taking the lead, many people with strange expressions inevitably appeared in the crowd.

For these people, Ryosuke sees them all.

Hyuga Hyuzu stood on the high platform without speaking.

On the other side, those clan elders were a little anxious and kept yelling at them, but no one wanted to pay attention.

"Daily difference, take care of your son!"

Although the elder of the Yixiong clan had looked down on Hinata during the clan meeting the year before, but at this time, he stood up to defend Hinata instead.

In the past year, Hinata has followed them to learn how to deal with family affairs, which really made them see a lot of brilliant things.

"This group of idiots take the handling of family affairs too simply. Do you really think that the patriarch is the same as being a ninja, regardless of who has the hardest fist?"

"Day difference!"

The other clan elders also frowned at Hinata Hizai, wanting him to go down and persuade Ningji to leave.

And Hinata Hizai did not speak, and stood silently beside his brother.

The people below saw that Hinata and Risei didn't speak to stop them, and they shouted louder and more confidently.

The atmosphere was a bit noisy, and it was extremely disrespectful for this serious spiritual invitation.

But the rhythm has been driven, and everyone's eyes are on Ryosuke and the three masters, waiting for Hinata Hyuzu's reply.

As time passed by, more and more people questioned, and more and more people in the crowd were shaken, and all their performances were easily revealed.

Some people changed from the beginning, but did not stand up.

It wasn't until Hyuga Hidetsu showed a look of embarrassment that he jumped out.

Some people, on the other hand, were led away by the commotion.

After all, people will always unconsciously follow the public's ideas to make decisions, which is gregarious.

However, there are also some determined people among them, and they are fighting with those next to them who want to support Ningji Hyuga as the next patriarch.

All of a sudden, the crowd was divided into several factions, but most of them still looked at this scene with some confusion and bewilderment.

"Almost done."

Subtle voices sounded from the high platform. Not only is Ryosuke strong in battle, but even his brain's active ability has been improved through transformations.

In less than 10 minutes, he memorized the reactions of everyone present, and reminded Asahi and Hizuru in a low voice.

Although the voice was very small, it could be heard by several people nearby.

Hinata Hinata, who had known what was going on for a long time, looked calm, but beside him, the excited expressions of those clan elders froze a little.

"Everyone."

After Ryosuke spoke, Hyuga Hyuzu stepped forward without hesitation, and shouted towards the crowd below.

His voice was loud and clear to the noisy crowd.

Soon, the discussion and noise stopped, and they all turned their gazes upwards with different thoughts.

"Since the clan has elected a new clan rule, of course I, as the clan leader, have read it and agreed to it."

Seeing the crowd quiet down, Hyuga Hyuzu continued: "Indeed, the newly released and publicized family rules have clearly stated that if someone thinks that his ability is better than the heir of the current patriarch, then a certain number of people will recommend him. You can take on the challenge."

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of commotion in the crowd below.

But Hinata Hyuzu wouldn't give them a chance to discuss, and then said, "So now...you are recommending Neji, right?"

"Yes."

Down below, many ninjas headed by that jounin were all beaming.

"No! Patriarch, you can't agree with the recommendation of these white-eyed wolves!"

"That's right! Miss Hinata proposed the new regulations, but you white-eyed wolves are now betraying her! What's the point!"

But in the crowd, many people became excited.

"betray?"

Jonin, who was the leader of the instigator, turned his head, looked at the person who spoke, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I've said it just now, I respect Miss Hinata very much in my heart."

"But... this matter can be ignored without respect, and I also think about the interests of the family."

"Actually, from your opposition to this matter, I believe other people can also see that you all know that Ms. Hinata's strength is far inferior to Neji's. If this is the case, why don't you accept this matter?"

Take it easy, and consider the interests of the "family" from the very beginning.

This group of provocative people showed a completely different attitude and appearance in the dark place at that time, and they looked very dignified.

It's no wonder that he was able to hide in the Hyuga clan for so many years, while betraying the news of the clan, and at the same time climbed to a high position without anyone noticing.

Ryosuke watched this farce with a smile on his face, but he enjoyed watching it.

"The age difference is no more than two, and the ages of Hinata and Neji have reached the bottom line for competing for the successor, and the conditions are met."

"Since so many of you are willing to recommend Neji as the heir to the patriarch, I admit that he has the opportunity to challenge Hinata's position."

Hinata Hyuzu, who had been silent during their debate, spoke again, affirming the facts, "According to the family rules, after one month, the clan will hold individual battles, team battles, and theoretical knowledge assessments. Those who get higher scores in the challenge can be qualified as the next patriarch heir."

Then, he turned his attention to Ning Ci below, "So Ning Ci, are you ready for the challenge?"

The seriousness in the words made everyone present quiet down.

All eyes were on Ning Ci in the front row of the crowd.

Those who recommended him to challenge unconsciously opened their mouths, wanting to answer for him.

But unfortunately, the script was written by Ryosuke, how this scene should be played, after all, it is impossible to do what they thought in their hearts.

"Sorry, I'm not ready for the challenge, I'd rather be a supporter than a challenger."

Under the eyes of everyone, Ning Ci shook his head calmly, "I support Hinata to become the next patriarch, and I am willing to cooperate with some of her orders."

"I know very well that although Ms. Hinata's strength is not as strong as mine, I am willing to be a member of her subordinates and a sharp blade in her hands."

But when he spoke, his eyes kept staring at Ryosuke.

"..."

The whole place was silent.

All the smiling challengers looked stiff.

Ning Ci's words were like a spear that directly penetrated the hearts of each of them.

"Ningji, what do you mean?"

With a stiff face, that Shangren couldn't maintain the expression on his face, "Before...you didn't always look down on Hinata's strength? Don't you think that if you came to get those resources? , can you do better than her?"

The expressions on their faces made Ryosuke laugh unconsciously.

The current situation is like Liangshan in the Water Margin.

A group of people held the banner of "walking for the sky", and the righteous men who claimed to be heroes gathered together emotionally and planned to rebel, so as to restore the world to a bright future.

As a result, all the people were assembled, the battle preparations were complete, and the momentum was gaining momentum, but the leader Song Jiang changed his mind and was recruited backhandedly. He even changed the flag to Shuntian Protecting the Country.

"In terms of strength, I really don't think Hinata is a qualified patriarch."

Neiji Hyuga did not deny that she questioned her strength, "But with those resources, I can do better than her. I never said that."

As he said that, he turned around and looked at the other people in the clan, "When I mentioned the clan rules just now, I asked myself, if I really stood in Hinata's perspective, would I propose such a self-defeating interest? regulations."

"But no matter how I try to deceive myself, I know very well that I can't do it, even if this matter is beneficial to the family."

"I can't harm my own interests, to help others, and may even get myself into trouble."

This... is this held up?

This kind of reversal, not to mention the group of troublemakers, even the people who eat melons and the grass on the wall are somewhat incomprehensible.

"Actually, judging from today's incident, I understand a truth."

"That is, compared to force, I think that as a patriarch, the most important thing is a heart that is willing to dedicate everything to the family."

"Even in the face of betrayal, Hinata never said a word from the beginning to the end, nor did she show any dissatisfaction."

"Although I don't know why she can be so calm, I think that maybe she knows that the new regulations have just been established. If they don't even abide by them, there will be civil strife in the family."

"In order to avoid civil strife in the family, she silently endured all this, just to maintain the stability and prosperity of the family..."

Neji Hyuga spoke impassionedly, just like his lines.

The group of people who originally defended Hinata became even more excited after facing his defection.

And some people who eat melons gradually shift their inner balance to Hinata, because these words of Neci do have some truth and are easy to understand.

In the crowd, the grass on the wall immediately fell to the side, and shouted Hinata's name loudly.

This kind of scene made those troublemakers blacken their faces one by one.

But apart from the troublemakers with ugly faces, there were a few faces in the crowd who looked away from Ning Ci in a panic and looked at the high platform.

When they met on the high platform, the two brothers Hinata Higashizu and Hyuga Higashisa looked indifferently from beginning to end, they seemed to understand something.

It turned out that before they knew it, these hidden people had entered the game!
