"Your Highness, Hokage."

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Seiko walked into the house, and the whole room fell silent.

Only Hyuga Tanaka, who had the highest status, dared to speak in greeting.

He bowed respectfully to Uchiha Sasuke, then immediately turned to the clan leader Hyuga Shigao and whispered:

"Shigao, you're back."

At this moment, everyone in the room was feeling uneasy.

Faced with the room full of doubts, Uchiha Sasuke just looked around with interest without saying a word.

On the side, Hyuga Seko coughed lightly and said loudly:

"During this meeting, I have fully reported to Hokage-sama the ideas that I share with all of you."

When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

Everyone stared at the patriarch intently, waiting for the verdict on their fate.

"Regarding the case of the former clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi colluding with the rebel ninja, the Hokage said..."

Where his eyes were, Hyuga Shigao moved his lips and said slowly:

"This case has been completely closed and will not be pursued any further."

!

really.

It’s a good thing indeed!

At this moment, a burst of ecstasy exploded in everyone's heart.

After a moment, people carefully watched Uchiha Sasuke's expression, wanting to confirm the news again.

But I saw that the Hokage was admiring the calligraphy on the banners in the room with great interest.

On the historic mottled walls and yellowed scrolls, the word "Glory" is written in bold strokes as vigorous and powerful as green pines and cypresses.

"Hokage-sama, I came here this time, first of all, to allay your concerns.

“Secondly, I also want to get closer to the disciples of my clan.

"So that we can communicate with you better in future missions."

As Hyuga Shigao finished his introduction, Uchiha Sasuke turned around and nodded kindly to the group of elders from the main clan.

“What an honor, what an honor!

"I, Hyuga Tanaka, greet the Seventh Hokage."

Here, Hyuga Tanaka was the first to react. His hands were shaking with excitement. He turned around and saluted Uchiha Sasuke respectfully again:

“Wherever the leaves of the wood dance, the fire also grows.

"The Hyuga clan is willing to work together to safeguard the peace of Konoha under your leadership."

"The arrival of Lord Hokage really makes this place shine!"

"It is truly an honor for us to meet the Hokage!"

"."

"All right."

Facing this noisy voice, Hyuga Shigao waved his hand again and said calmly:

"Hokage-sama is very busy with official duties, so we shouldn't keep him away for too long."

After a pause, he glanced at the crowd around him and shouted loudly:

"Tokuma!"

"exist!"

Hearing the call, Hinata Tokuma, who had been standing by, immediately stepped forward and waited for orders.

"Summon all the main disciples of my Hyuga clan immediately. The Hokage has something to say to all of us!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, no one can be absent."

Hinata Shigao said coldly with an indifferent expression.

"Yes!"

//

As the news spread, commotion began to break out in the ancient territory.

"Hokage-sama is here in person? Why?"

"What's this Uchiha kid planning to do?"

"Hey, what else could it be.

"Since we have already made it clear that bygones are bygones, you are just trying to curry favor with our Hyuga clan."

“If you ask me, those old guys in the Zong family are really confused. They insisted on keeping us under house arrest for such a long time.

"Look, everything is alright!"

"Humph, this is the bloodline limit of my Hyuga clan. Looking around, which ninja village wouldn't be jealous?

"Staying in Konoha is a favor to him. If..."

"Come on, come on, shut up."

"I'd like to see how many heads that kid has.

"I actually scared those old guys like this."

//

Half a quarter of an hour later, the not-so-small courtyard was already densely packed with members of the Hyuga clan.

Previously, Uchiha Sasuke had completely stopped assigning tasks to the Hyuga clan.

At the same time, Hyuga Seiko also wisely adopted a low-key strategy.

If not necessary, all family members should stay at home to minimize the occurrence of any incidents.

With the combination of these two factors, the Hyuga clan is now the most fully staffed one.

Uchiha Sasuke stood in the courtyard, looking at the densely packed crowd, secretly counting the number of people in his heart.

Forty-seven people.

It was exactly the same as the information previously obtained from Hinata Seiko's mind.

The setting sun poured down like molten gold, coating the ninjas in the courtyard with a layer of golden glow.

Their shadows lengthened in the setting sun, intertwining with the mottled walls of the ancient house, as if a historical scroll was being repainted at this moment.

"Close the doors and don't let those strangers disturb the Hokage's speech."

On the side, Hyuga Shigao once again commanded everyone to block all the door lintels everywhere.

After settling down, Hyuga Shigao silently walked to the head of the crowd and waited quietly for Uchiha Sasuke's speech.

"Today, I got some very interesting news."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at everyone and began his twilight speech:

"Hyuga Hiashi's daughter, the former heir to the family head, Hyuga Hinata, was marked as a caged bird and was assigned to a branch family."

After a pause, Uchiha Sasuke smiled and asked gently:

"Elder Tanaka, is this true?"

"It's true."

Here, Hinata Tanaka took half a step forward and said respectfully:

"According to the tradition of my Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinata is already a member of a branch family.

“According to convention, it was originally necessary to wait until the next heir to the clan leader was three years old before he would be engraved with the caged bird’s guardian seal.

"However, as a descendant of a traitorous ninja, he can no longer retain his status as a member of our main family!"

At the side, another elder also spoke up:

"Regarding the treatment of this person, I originally wanted to ask you, Hokage, to make the decision.

"It's just that you are busy with official duties and we haven't found a suitable opportunity yet."

"So, the identity of the Hyuga clan cannot be tarnished, right?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked calmly.

"Not bad!"

On this side, Hinata Tanaka immediately nodded solemnly, his face full of the look of a loyal and honorable noble.

“So, today, it’s really an honor.

"We can gather here with all the children of the Hyuga clan."

The setting sun shone on everyone's faces.

Except for a few ninjas, such as Hinata Tetsu, everyone's face showed a determined look of honor.

And many young people could not hide their pride in their eyes at this moment.

Each one looked at each other as if to say, what did I say?

"I once discussed with the head of the Nara clan, Shikamaru Nara, the existence of 'jade' in shogi."

Uchiha Sasuke's words continued:

"The outcome of a chess game ultimately depends on the safety of the 'jade'.

"What is considered 'Jade' also greatly determines the rules of conduct of a ninja, a family, or even a ninja village.

"no doubt,"

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at everyone and said calmly:

"Everyone here is the 'Jade' of the Hyuga clan."

In the sky, the clouds are burning red.

The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.

The owl slept for a whole day. It shook its dizzy head, flapped its wings and flew onto a branch.

In the quiet courtyard, Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"But this doesn't match the 'jade' I recognize."

A breeze blew through the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the ninjas of the Hyuga clan were somewhat confused as to what the Hokage was trying to express.

"Ah, that's right, Hokage-sama."

At the front of the team, an elder from the clan pushed his reading glasses and said pedantically:

"The purpose of the Caged Bird Curse is not to protect any specific individual.

"It's to protect the Byakugan, which is a precious strategic advantage for the clan and even the village."

"is it?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the other person, only to see his expression suddenly become stern, and asked in a stern voice:

“What about the chance?!

"Why are you the ones who are being protected, while those guys from the branch families outside are born to be slaves for you to command, or even to die for you?!"

Faced with the Hokage's sudden anger, the young ninjas in the crowd, who were originally dozing off, couldn't help but shudder.

"If I'm not mistaken, Hyuga Hinata was made into a branch family, and she was ready to be pushed out to be a scapegoat for you bastards to atone for their sins and die, right?!"

Uchiha Sasuke turned and looked at the two old men who spoke first, his eyes as sharp as lightning.

"Of course, this is entirely up to you, Lord Hokage."

Hinata Tanaka avoided Uchiha Sasuke's gaze and spoke in a low voice.

"is it?"

Uchiha Sasuke was a little angry and laughed. He sneered and said:

"Well, since you are listening to me, why not talk about what the 'jade' in my mind is."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at everyone and said coldly:

"fair.

“Equality of opportunity.

"I don't deny that some people do need to sacrifice in order to protect the existence of others.

"I don't even object to the existence of the structure of the main family and the branch family.

“However, such a clear advantage in position ultimately requires some effort or cost to win.

“Why were you born into the Zong family?

"Why are you the ones standing here and not anyone outside?!"

Uchiha Sasuke's words triggered the greatest fear in everyone's heart.

Before he could finish his words, someone in the crowd shouted loudly:

"This is our destiny!"

“This is their fate too!”

"destiny."

Uchiha Sasuke was not surprised at the excitement of these people.

But deep in my heart, there was still a trace of deep disappointment.

He chewed on these abominable words, turned around and nodded to Hyuga Seiko in front of the crowd:

"That's it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ino."

The next second, Ino immediately released the "Heart Turn Technique" and returned to the rooftop of the Ninja School, where she slowly woke up.

Next to him was Hyuga Neji, who had a solemn expression on his face, holding a longbow and wearing a black robe.

"Anyway, I called you all here today because I want to discuss with you the secret techniques of the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Sasuke raised his hands slightly, and at the same time, his appearance changed.

His pupils turned into yellow horizontal bars, and orange eye shadow appeared on both sides of his eyes.

A pair of purple dragon horns slowly grew from both sides of Uchiha Sasuke's forehead.

"Sasuke-sama, what is going on? What happened?!"

Hinata Shigao woke up as if from a dream and shouted in horror.

Here, Uchiha Sasuke activated the power of the immortal, the chakra in his body flowed rapidly, and a black vortex appeared in the palm of Uchiha Sasuke.

"Secret Technique: Solar Eclipse!"

The next second, a dark vortex like a solar eclipse swallowed up all the surrounding light, instantly creating a pitch-black barrier area in the courtyard.

"what do you want to do?!"

“Isn’t that ridiculous?

"Everyone in my Hyuga clan has Byakugan. What do you want to express by using this move?"

"Hmm? A display of learning ability? So you are the copy ninja. Hehe."

After a brief panic, everyone in the courtyard turned on their Byakugan mode and clearly captured the figure of Uchiha Sasuke, wondering what he intended to do.

He really went crazy.

Among the crowd, Hinata Tetsu, who had previously fought with Uchiha Sasuke, was the first to react.

With a serious look on his face, he quietly moved towards the door, but immediately remembered that the door was completely locked.

Hearing the discussions around him, Hinata Tiexin muttered to himself.

Idiots, these idiots.

I saw him quietly moving his position and coming to a relatively wide place. He immediately exerted force with his feet and suddenly jumped upwards, trying to break through this dark cage.

"Fuck!"

Heavy arrows are flying.

Hinata Tetsu fell back into the courtyard like a seriously injured goose, with a heavy black iron arrow flashing with lightning stuck in his chest.

"Brother Hyuga Tetsu!"

Like a stone thrown into a herd of pigs, the corpse instantly caused a violent commotion.

"Uchiha boy, are you really crazy?!

"How dare you kill my fellow ninjas from the Hyuga clan without any trial?!"

"Yes, Neji!"

"That Neji from the branch family, he's back again!!"

"Damn it! The caged bird seal doesn't activate far enough!"

As they were talking, several people, each with their own thoughts, jumped up from all directions towards the top of the courtyard.

"Fuck!"

"Shu! Su!"

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

There is no doubt that with Hyuga Neji's superb archery skills, only a few more corpses were added.

"Don't even move!"

"Stand still, don't move!"

In the darkness, Hyuga Seiko, who had regained his consciousness, was the first to react.

He just looked silently in the direction of Uchiha Sasuke and asked in a deep voice:

"You, what on earth do you want to do?!"

"I told you guys to discuss the secret technique."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly:

"Shh-"

"Quiet."

"Look."
