Konoha Sheriff

After sending the tribesmen back to rest, Rizu went to Beichen and said sincerely:

"Chief Beichen, I wonder if you are free to have a light meal with me tonight. Our Hyuga family is facing changes that have not happened in a thousand years, and I have many things I would like to ask you for advice."

Rizu's posture was very low, he really wanted to learn from Beichen.

One wanted to hug Beichen's thigh tightly so that his position as clan leader would not be shaken, and the other was that he really admired Beichen's various operations.

Hizu can see how the Uchiha clan went from the original division to the current prosperity step by step. Although some steps are too risky and radical in Nizu's view, he really admires Beichen's courage. and determination.

Hizu is not a fool. To be honest, other families may not be able to do such a thing as betting their own daughter's future on Naruto.

In addition, although Hinata's title of "Konoha's most powerful clan" is used to make fun of people most of the time, it cannot be denied that after entering Boruto, Hinata has indeed become the most well-deserved Konoha's most powerful clan. no.

If he hadn't been blocked by the elders of the Zong family in the past, he would have wanted to have more contact with Beichen.

Beichen originally wanted to have dinner with Tsunade tonight, but seeing that Rizu's attitude was very low-key, and thinking that if he went to Tsunade's place tonight, Tsunade might bring up the old issues again, he simply agreed to Rizu. Request:

"However, Hizu Clan Leader, I would like to bring Neji with me to dinner tonight. You shouldn't refuse if you think about it."

Hearing this, Hizu unconsciously looked at Neji and a smile appeared on his face:

"Of course this should be the case. In fact, even if you don't say anything, Minister Beichen, I still have something I want to talk to Neji personally about tonight."

Obviously, Beichen and Rizu wanted to say the same thing.

Beichen, who heard this, would naturally not refuse. If Hizu could directly take out Hizashi's suicide note tonight to eliminate the last worries in Neji's heart, then he would not have to find a way to go to the dirty land of Hizashi in the future.

To be honest, although there are many prisoners in Konoha Prison, death row prisoners can be regarded as a rare resource. He still wants to save these resources and use them at the critical moment to destroy Hashirama and the others...

The preparations for the dinner were very fast. After a while, the maid of the Hinata family came to inform them that the dinner was ready.

This dinner was not too formal to say that it was formal. All the people present were members of Hizu's family. In order to show his sincerity, Hizu directly asked Hinata's mother, Hinata and Hanabi to join the table, and He didn't deliberately avoid Beichen.

Hinata's mother is a lady who is seventy-nine similar to Hinata. She seems to be of the bloodline of an elder of the clan, but she does not have the qualifications to become a ninja.

Neither Hinata's mother nor Hinata said much during the dinner, but the cheerful sister-in-law was obviously very curious about Beichen. As soon as there was a gap in the conversation between her father and Beichen, she curiously grabbed Beichen and asked him questions. The cute appearance added a lot of fun to this dinner.

After three drinks and Rizu sincerely asking for advice on how to manage the family, the dinner naturally came to an end.

Beichen glanced at Ningji, who had been silently eating next to him, and finally said:

"Head of the Hizu Clan, with all due respect, Neji's talent is the strongest among the younger generation of the Hyuga family. I think he will be a great help to you in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Hizu subconsciously glanced at Neji, and then at Hinata who kept his head down, as timid as a little rabbit, and finally made up his mind:

"Minister Beichen, to be honest, I have never been able to interfere with my nephew because of the family separation system. Regarding this, I am actually very sorry for my brother."

Speaking of his younger brother Hinata Hizashi, Hizashi's eyes immediately turned red:

"Before he died, he gave me countless instructions, asking me to take good care of Ningji, but...but because of the system of dividing the clan and the interference of the elders of the clan...I have really been neglectful of him over the years. Discipline.

But now, since the system of clan division has been abolished, I can assure you here that from today on, I will raise Neji as my own biological child. Even the position of the head of the Hyuga clan, I say To be honest, Hinata is too soft-tempered to shoulder the responsibility of the Hyuga clan leader.

Therefore, I also plan to pass on the position of clan leader to Neji in the future. "

This was a bombshell, and even Hinata's mother couldn't help being surprised. She subconsciously looked at her husband secretly to confirm whether Hizu was drunk.

However, Rizu's eyes were extremely clear, and it was obvious that he was not talking drunkenly.

Hinata's mother opened her mouth but didn't say a word. Instead, she looked relieved.

Well, before, I had no choice but to watch my husband keep forcing Hinata to practice. Now that Neji can take on the important task of running the family, this may be a good thing for both Hinata and Hanabi.

Hearing that Hizu said that he would pass on the position of clan leader to himself, Neji, who had been silent, finally couldn't sit still:

"Chief of the Rizu Clan, I..."

But as soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted by Rizu with a smile:

"Since there is no longer a clan system, you don't need to call me the clan leader in private from now on. I am your uncle. Just call me uncle from now on."

"I……"

Neji opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Rizu didn't care about this, he even said to himself:

"Ningji, I know very well that you have been concerned about your father's death all these years, and you even have objections to me, my uncle..."

Neji remained silent and didn't speak, but looked at Hizu with his eyes.

Rizu smiled and said:

"This is actually what it should be. After all, Hizashi did die on my behalf... But, there are some things I must make clear to you.

This is what your father deliberately asked me to tell you before he died. I couldn't find the opportunity before, but now I can finally tell you. "

Saying that, Hizu took a deep breath, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Neji.

Neji's eyes froze just as soon as he saw the handwriting on the envelope. This was clearly his father's handwriting!

Taking the envelope from Hizu's hands with trembling hands, Neji unfolded the letter and his pupils couldn't help but shrink after looking at the beginning.

Hizu remained silent until Neji looked at him with astonished eyes after reading the letter before he spoke:

"Yes, your father made the sacrifice voluntarily, not for the family, nor for the peace of Konoha. He just wanted to save my stupid and immature brother, that's all."
