Uchiha's Blade

Mana's visit to the Hyuga Clan this time can be said to be the first official meeting between her and Hyuga Nyaku.

The two had met a few times before. After all, Hokage also wanted to meet the ninjas in the village. But at that time, Hinata Hizuru acted like a blood-succession family. He and Mana just fought politely. Just a hello.

Therefore, this visit was indeed the first time for the two to talk in such a formal manner.

Mana has done a lot of intelligence preparations for the Hyuga clan, and Hyuga Hyuzu naturally doesn't know nothing about her.

After the two were polite for a while, Mana said, "Actually, I have something to discuss with the Hinata patriarch."

When Hyuga Hyuga came, he calmly said, "I don't know what it is? As long as it is beneficial to the village, my Hyuga clan has always been obliged. The contributions made by the Hyuga clan to the village over the years are obvious to all."

Mana nodded and said: "Of course I understand this. Although I have only been here for a few months, I also know a lot about the Hyuga clan. It is because the ninjas of the Hyuga clan have made so many contributions to the village that I am here today. Will come here."

Hyuga Hyuzu felt a little relieved when he heard these words, and felt that the situation was probably not as serious as Danzo said.

Even if Mana's words are intended to be flattering, but at least after making clear what she said, even if she wants the Hyuga Clan to pay something, she can't do too much. She is Hokage after all, and she also admits that the Hyuga Clan is indeed a wood Ye has made many contributions.

As a young and new Hokage, if Mana needs the Hyuga Clan to cooperate with her to stand up, then as long as the conditions are not too excessive, Hyuga Hyuzu will agree.

After all, the Hyuga Clan is not as impatient and impulsive as the opposing Uchiha Clan.

It is precisely because of the cooperation of the Hyuga clan to the village over the years that Hyuga has won the trust of Konoha's senior management.

On this point, Hinata Hinata is also very confident.

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Hinata Hizuru's expression, and silently lowered his eyes.

Hyuga Hyuzu probably didn't notice that what Mana said was not "Hyuga Clan" but "Hyuga Ninjas". The subtle difference between Hyuga Hyuzu and Uchiha Itachi did not understand.

Sure enough, what Mana said was: "I think since the ninjas of the Hyuga clan have made so many contributions, we can't ignore the injustice they suffered. Therefore, the caged bird about the Hyuga family should indeed be cancelled."

Hinata Hizuru's originally relaxed mood disappeared in an instant, he glared at Mana and said, "Master Hokage, what do you mean by that!"

Mana said: "It means, I think, since everyone is a ninja of Konoha, they should be treated equally. Since other ninjas are not engraved with such things as caged birds, then the ninjas of the Hyuga clan naturally don't need it. After all, caged birds are indeed Not a good thing, is it?"

Hyuga Hinata said: "The bird in the cage is the protection of the Hyuga clan for the people of the clan. Hokage-sama is also from the Blood Successor family, so naturally he should understand this!"

"No, it's because I'm also from a blood successor family that I don't understand this even more."

Mana said to Hinata Hizuki: "If the bird in the cage is only for protection, then all its adverse effects should be aimed at the enemy, but as far as I know, the bird in the cage is not such a thing, manipulating and destroying the function of the brain nerve, No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was born for protection, it's more like maintaining the dominant position of the clan and allowing the clan to manage better...or it's slavery and separation, precisely because of this kind of superiority, who can control the life and death of the other party at will The ability shows the difference between the main family and the sub-family, and makes the main family look more noble, so as to contrast the so-called rationality of the main family's dominance, but as Hokage, I think this is unreasonable."

Hyuga Hinata said: "The bird in the cage is the tradition of the Hyuga clan. It is to protect the inheritance of the Hyuga clan. Why do you want to be enslaved?"

Mana smiled softly: "Look, if caged birds are really good things, you will definitely cite a lot of examples to refute me at this time to prove that caged birds are reasonable, but you can't, because you know , in all the incidents you can use as examples, the caged bird not only provides a certain degree of 'protection', but also shows its cruel nature, so you can't say it, because it will put you at a disadvantage in this conversation Location."

Without giving Hyuga Hyuzu a chance to refute, she continued: "As for the tradition mentioned by the patriarch Hyuga... What's interesting is that this so-called tradition was born in the family melee during the Warring States period. It is undeniable that it is indeed important to maintain The inheritance of the Hyuga clan has played a role, but this function is not to protect the clansmen, but to protect the clan. To be precise, it is the clan that controls the life and death of the rest of the Hyuga clan, making it impossible for the clan to betray, escape, or give birth to any other clan members. There are different opinions. After the clansmen are bound by birds in cages, a solid wall is formed to protect the clan. The Hyuga clan does have excellent abilities as a blood successor family. Coupled with the high eye opening rate of the white eyes, this makes the Hyuga people gather in the When they are together, they can gather into a very powerful force. In this way, although it is to protect the clan, it also protects other clansmen to a certain extent. During the Warring States period, the Hyuga clan...or the Hyuga clan, of course, This method is called a last resort, a way of survival, but now the times are different. It has been more than 50 years since the establishment of the self-nin village system, but the Hyuga clan still embraces the old system. This is indeed very strange. Disturbing."

Hyuga Hyuzu was already very angry at this time, and he said almost desperately: "The Hyuga clan is at least much more peaceful than the Uchiha clan! Rather than pointing fingers at the Hyuga clan, Hokage-sama, it is better to take care of the Uchiha clan first."

Mana said: "You're right, Uchiha is indeed an indiscriminate clan, but what does that have to do with the Hyuga clan? We don't need to involve Uchiha when we are talking about Hyuga, or else, apart from that Besides, the Hinata patriarch can't find any other better reason to oppose me?"

Hyuga Hyuzu took a deep breath, if it wasn't for the fact that the Hyuga clan has always been well-cultivated, he really couldn't help scolding Mana angrily.

Repeated countless times in his heart, this is Hokage, this is Hokage, he finally suppressed his anger a little bit: "The bird in the cage is a matter of the Hyuga clan, so don't worry about Hokage-sama!"

Mana didn't care: "The bird in the cage is not a matter of the Hyuga clan, it is a matter of Konoha ninjas, since they are Konoha's ninjas, then I should take care of them."

Hinata Hizuchi said in a cold tone: "Master Hokage may be young, so I inevitably have to remind you that even Hokage has some things that you can't control and shouldn't control! I have other things to do next, so I can't accompany you, Hokage Please come back, my lord."

For Mana, since today's words have been said, it is enough. She didn't expect that she would cry and admit her mistakes as soon as she said something casually, and change immediately.

As a person with vested interests, Hyuga Nichizu must be stubborn, he will firmly oppose, and may be desperate to sabotage, Mana understands this very well.

So when she heard Hinata Hidetsu's words, she just smiled slightly: "In that case, I won't bother you, and I will leave."

Hinata Hidezu waved her hand and asked a random clansman to send her out, never to be treated with the same courtesy as before.

Mana doesn't care about this, on the contrary, if Hinata Hinata can still be polite and talk to her happily at this time, then Mana will think it's troublesome.

...Because that means that Hyuga Hyuzu is a person who is quite a man of the city, and this kind of person is not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, judging from Hinata Hidetsu's reaction, he doesn't look particularly smart either.

Mana whispered, "I just hope he's not acting..."

It would be troublesome enough if Hyuga Hyuzu deliberately acted like this for her, and then did other small tricks secretly.

Uchiha Itachi said after leaving the Hyuga Clan: "Hyuga Hyuzu obviously lacks confidence, why don't you hold on anymore?"

Mana said: "No matter how much I insist, this matter will not have an immediate result, Itachi, this kind of matter cannot be rushed, and... it is not enough for me to persist, this matter is more important. I just gave them a head start and told them my attitude in the firmest gesture I could."

If the Hinata branch itself does not want to be free, then no matter how hard Mana insists, this matter will not come to fruition.

Speaking of this, Mana also sighed: "Wait, Itachi, the voice that scolded me first probably came from the Hyuga branch..."

Uchiha Itachi was taken aback, he didn't expect Mana to say such a thing.

But the fact is that after the conversation between Mana and Hyuga Nyaku was spread through various channels, before the other ninjas had time to express their views, many people from the Hyuga branch had already stood up and scolded Mana for being uneasy and kind.

Uchiha Itachi thought that these people might have been coerced by Hinata Hizuru, so he investigated secretly, but found that Hyuga Hizuzu had never threatened these people at all, and these branch families who scolded Mana all came forward on their own initiative.

Filled with blood heat, a basin of cold water was poured over his head immediately.

For a 13-year-old boy like Uchiha Itachi, this blow is not insignificant.

However, he carefully concealed the news afterwards. Although he informed Mana that there were voices of opposition in the Hyuga clan, he did not show Mana those overly intense words as they were.

He was actually a little worried that these words would hurt Mana.

In that case, wouldn't it be too pitiful for Mrs. Mana who is dedicated to Hinata's separation?

Mana looked at Itachi Uchiha, who had been carefully peeking at her with worried eyes for several days, and felt a little funny in her heart, but she didn't let it go, she accepted this kindness.

Just when Uchiha Itachi thought that Mana was going to start fighting against the Hyuga clan, Mana changed his style of painting and went to do other work.

For example, she drastically reformed the education system of Ninja School, stipulating that early graduation is not allowed in non-war years. Even in wartime, unless there is a special order from Hokage, children under ten are not allowed to graduate early. After changing the Ninja School After the graduation system, she also added many courses to the ninja school.

Uchiha Sasuke is like a fish in water, and feels that compared to the tasks that Mana assigns to him on weekdays, the school courses are just like a joke.

In addition to the ninja school, Mana also plans to build an additional school for ordinary people, open to all ninja families as well as ordinary civilians.

There is only one Konoha Elementary School in the current plan, and many of its systems and courses refer to the materials recorded by Mana in another world.

...This is the contribution of Huilizai's contribution to various primary education observation reports.

And the first principal of the newly built Konoha Elementary School was handed over to Jiraiya by Mana.

After that, Mana found Uchiha Fugaku and asked for a reorganization of the Konoha Guard.

Uchiha Fugaku originally thought that Mana was going to put her in the guard, but he didn't really want to object.

It's useless to object.

From the young and strong Uchiha Shisui of the new generation of the family, to his two sons of Uchiha Fugaku, they are all staunch supporters of Uchiha Mana. Is there any difference between his opposition and his non-opposition?

Uchiha Fugaku gave up struggling.

But Mana said to him: "The work of the guard team needs to be more refined. There are specialists in the arts. The Uchiha clan is a clan on the battlefield. It makes sense to ask you to defend the safety of the village, but now even the security of the village is under your control." , Catch a thief or something, do you need Sharingan?"

Uchiha Fugaku was a little confused: "You mean..."

Mana said: "The Uchiha Security Team will continue to be retained, but I hope to set up an additional Konoha Security Force to take over the security management in the village on weekdays. In the future, the Uchiha Security Team will only be external and not internal. Uchiha's personality is not suitable for this job. Boy, catching a small thief won't do you any great service, and it's not worth it for you to ruin your relationship with others for nothing."

Uchiha Fugaku thinks it makes sense to say this, but he is still a little reluctant to share power from him.

Need at least some hesitation.

Mana said: "Chief Fuyue, this reorganization is not aimed at the Uchiha clan, but the inevitable development of the village. Which serious place uses front-line combat troops to maintain the daily law and order of the city? There is something wrong with the brain, but the newly established law and order The army, I want to open it to the whole village, everyone in the village, even if they don’t know ninjutsu or are not ninjas, can sign up for the selection, Uchiha is also a member of the village, if they want to, of course they can also participate.”

Uchiha Fugaku heard this voice and felt that he did not reject the Uchiha clan. After thinking about it, he reminded Mana: "This is something that is beneficial to the village. We Uchiha naturally have no objection. It is good to open the quota to other families. Let them Once you do it yourself, you will know how difficult it is for the Uchiha on weekdays, and they complained too much before, but...should we reconsider the matter of opening it to civilians who are not ninjas?"

Mana glanced at him: "The security force is in the team, and there are not many combat missions in the team. Besides, this kind of thing can be further subdivided in the security force, such as those who are in charge of civil issues or criminal issues. , this can all be separated, the reason why it is open to non-ninjas is also out of this consideration, don't take me joking, if the owner of the izakaya on the village street fights with the owner of the barbecue restaurant next door, the owner of the ramen will come out to mediate One sentence, ten sentences are more effective than Uchiha's ninja mediation, isn't that the truth?"

When Uchiha Fugaku thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, so he didn't say anything more.

Just when Uchiha Itachi thought that Mana was only caring about other things and temporarily put aside the affairs of the Hyuga clan, Mana made a new move.

She asked for the establishment of the Konoha Council to manage various things in the village on weekdays.

On the bright side, this political meeting is concerned with trivial matters, such as how to choose the location and construction of the commercial street in the village, or the renovation of the old city, or even street greening, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that, in fact, The power of the Council is not small.

It's just the location selection of the commercial street. If it is done well, how much money will be involved in it?

And Mana made it clear that there are currently [-] seats in the political council, and all villagers in Konoha can stand for election, whether they are ninjas or civilians. She even stipulated that there must be at least three non-ninja seats in the political council.

Of course, the Political Council has also set up fixed seats. For example, the Uchiha clan got a fixed position, which means that Uchiha will have at least one seat in the Political Council in the future.

In addition, other ninja families also gained their own achievements. For example, the three clans of Zhuludie, who are famous for their good relationship, also got a fixed seat.

Hyuga Hyuzu doesn’t care much about that kind of small profit, but he understands that this kind of organization that gathers the interests of the whole village, from ninjas to civilians, and has a certain decision-making power must have a place for the Hyuga Clan, otherwise the Hyuga Clan must be marginalized in the future.

But when he sent someone to inquire, the reply from the inquiring tribe was that Hokage-sama said that the Hyuga clan would not be allowed to participate in the election of the Council until the Hyuga clan solved the problem of 'the whole clan is human'.

"Master Hokage said that no matter who is selected for the Hyuga clan at this time, it will only represent the voice of the clan, not the real voice of the Hyuga clan and other ninjas."

Hinata Hidetsu suddenly became furious.

He waited at home for two days, but couldn't wait for any explanation from Mana other than that tough reply, and finally had to be dissatisfied, but he 'had to' go to Hokage's office to talk to Mana in person.

Of course Mana received him very politely.

But when faced with the question of Hyuga Hyuzu' why the Uchiha clan has a fixed seat, but the Hyuga clan doesn't, Mana's answer is simple.

"Because Uchiha doesn't have a bird in a cage."

"The pig deer butterfly clan doesn't have any either.""
