Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

Kakashi spent a rare wonderful New Year at Hinata Yuzuru's house.

Since his father committed suicide ten years ago, he has not felt the New Year atmosphere for a long time.

Until he was on the way home, he still couldn't believe that he had unknowingly established such a deep... bad relationship with Hinata Yuzuru.

friendship?

I am almost ten years older than him!

To be precise, there is an age difference of nine years! Being friends with such a brat, well, it seems, is not impossible...but, I don't want to admit it.

The friendship between the seniors and juniors?

Although the guy shouted like a senior, looking at his words and deeds, it was clear that he didn't mean the slightest bit of respect.

But when it comes to disgust...

Even though this guy would often say some bold words that made him frown or even tremble with fear, they would never arouse his disgust. Even at a certain level, some of Hinata Yuzuru's attitudes were... These remarks made him feel happy.

It was as if someone said the words he couldn't say for him and thought the things he didn't dare to think.

This resonates from deep within.

And...this brat, no, this guy Yuzuru, in a sense, is so precocious that no one can treat him as a junior.

Does such a monster really exist?

Kakashi kept thinking until he returned home, unable to think of an answer.

Hyuga Yuzuru is like a black hole-like mystery. The more curious you are, the more you can't help but get closer. The closer you get, the more you can't help but be attracted. If you are attracted, you will get more questions from him, and The answers to these questions seem to be all in his body, which makes people want to stop and come back again and again.

He returned to his small apartment without turning on the lights. In the darkness, he walked to the bed with familiarity, sat down, turned his head, and looked at the old photos placed by the window sill.

Tiredly taking off his mask, Kakashi's delicate and handsome face was somewhat similar to the man in the photo.

"Dad...what should I do now?"

In the photo, the man with a bright smile always looked at him with gentle eyes.

Kakashi lay on the bed, motionless, for a long time, and took out a pamphlet from his arms.

He stared blankly at the cover that had made him curious countless times, and pondered for a long time. Finally, he stood up, tilted his father's photo frame to one side, and asked him to look at the scenery outside the window first. Then, he lay on the bed and pointed his finger at the cover. Tremblingly, he opened the cover page.

Gradually, the pupils trembled violently, as if a door to a new world had opened.

........

Hinata House.

Hyuga Yuzuru and Hyuga Hizashi were sitting in the room, exchanging information and making plans for the year.

At present, the Hyuga clan has a total of eighteen ninjas who have been sealed with the Asuka seal, including the father and son, and the maid Riko who has no talent for tolerance.

You must know that the person chosen by Hyuga Hizashi is either quite prestigious in the branch family, or is a powerful ninja. This also gives Hyuga Hizashi great control over the current Hyuga branch family.

This is a world of ninjas, where strength often represents the right to speak.

With the current reputation of Hyuga Yuzuru and Hyuga Hizashi in the branch family, and with the help of these dozen people, it can be said that with a single call, at least 60% of the people in the branch family will follow.

"Are you sure?"

At this moment, Hinata Hizashi in the room was holding a tea cup, but he had not taken a sip for a long time, his brows were furrowed and his mood was complicated.

Hyuga Yuzuru sat opposite him with a calm expression: "I think this year is the opportunity."

It was the beginning of Konoha's fifty-fourth year. At this time, it might be unremarkable to other people, but for Hyuga Yuzuru, he had a deep impression of this year.

If nothing unexpected happens, this year will be the year that Yunyin plans to negotiate peace.

"As long as we proceed step by step and develop slowly, one day, the entire branch family will become our strength... If we are impatient and start trouble now, let alone how much power we can use, just you."

Hinata Hizashi objected and shook his head: "You are still too young."

Even though the son in front of him is already an outstanding ninja who is well-known in ANBU, and even has a vague reputation of his own in the entire ninja world, he is still young after all. Even though he is already eight years old this year, he is nine years old according to his imaginary age. age, but...

As long as he continues to grow, even if he only gives Yuzuru another five years, he can become a more powerful and outstanding ninja, leading the Hyuga branch to change his own destiny with a strength far beyond his own.

Why are we in such a hurry?

But Hinata Yuzuru solemnly said: "Can't delay."

"Maybe Kumogakure doesn't want to fight." Hinata Yuzuru's words made Hinata Hizashi's face change slightly, and he straightened his back.

"Why?" Hizashi couldn't understand.

Now Kumogakure and Konoha are still in a deadlock, and there is no sign of any momentum for peace talks.

The friction between the two sides is not even a fierce battle. How could it end here?

"Iwagakure."

Hyuga Yuzuru pointed out the key point. He compiled what he had seen and heard on the battlefield and on the front line in the past two years, and he already had a fairly clear judgment on the current situation in the ninja world.

"In the year away, especially in the recent year in Yuno Country, Kumogakure's resistance has become more and more fierce, and his decision-making has become more and more impatient."

Hinata Yuzuru's words made Hinata Hizashi fall into deep thought.

"At first, I thought they were trying to expand the battlefield and escalate the confrontation, but after careful observation, I realized... they were anxious and wanted to cut through the mess quickly."

"The conflict between Konoha and Iwagakure has always been tepid. Although there will be ANBU fighting in secret, there are almost no ninja conflicts in the open."

"It can be seen that both Iwagakure and Konoha want to always maintain restraint on each other, and work together to increase pressure on Kumogakure in a tacit understanding."

"This year alone, I have personally experienced dozens of battles. Sometimes I was rushing to rescue my teammates, sometimes I was ambushing and attacking, sometimes I was ambushed or surrounded..."

"But on the battlefield between Iwagakure and Konoha, there was no such fierce battle."

"This does not mean that Iwagakure is preserving his strength. In fact, while Kumogakure is increasing pressure on us, Iwagakure is also maintaining control of Kumogakure in the Country of Grass, the Country of Iron, and even the Country of Frost. Intense pressure."

Hinata Yuzuru had a complicated expression. He couldn't tell whether he should be happy or sighing and said softly: "It is precisely because of this that Kumogakure Village cannot launch a fierce attack on us."

"Can you believe it? This year, we have killed at least hundreds of Kumogakure, and the jounin number is in double figures, but we have never seen a jinchuriki or a special blood-stained ninja..."

"It's all too much pressure from Iwagakure. If it weren't for worrying about Iwagakure, Konoha right now would never be able to cope with Kumogakure Village having two jinchūriki who can step onto the battlefield."

Hinata Hizashi thought deeply and understood what Hinata Yuzuru said.

"The hatred between Iwagakure and Kumogakure was destined to be irrevocable when the third Raikage was beaten to death. At least, the hatred will not subside until the death of the fourth Raikage."

"In comparison, the hatred between Konoha, Kumogakure and Iwagakure is not that big."

"I think that if nothing else happens, Kumogakure will choose to negotiate with Konoha, put enough pressure to gain certain benefits, and then stop when it is good, allowing Konoha to breathe while shifting all the pressure to Iwagakure. "

Hinata Yuzuru's expression was cold, as if he had thought of something, and his tone became cold.

"So, let's say I'm all correct."

"What will Konoha do after accepting the peace talks?"

Hinata couldn't catch up with Hinata Yuzuru's thoughts for a moment, but then, Hinata Yuzuru said something shocking: "Suppress Hinata and Uchiha!"

As soon as these words came out, Hinata Hizashi was stunned on the spot.

It's understandable to suppress Uchiha, this is all the right thing for Konoha's ZZ right now.

But, the Hyuga clan! ?
