Chapter 4
.....
""Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
Hinata Kaitsuki closed his eyes, suppressed all his anger, and became calm again.
"Come in."
The person who pushed the door open was a middle-aged Hyuga ninja wearing a forehead protector. He looked at Hyuga Kaigetsu with an undisguised condescending look.
Hyuga Kaigetsu frowned. He didn't seem to know the other person.
"Are you Hinata Kaizuki?"
The middle-aged Hinata asked with scrutiny.
"May I ask who you are?..."
The middle-aged Hinata interrupted Hinata Kaitsuki and got straight to the point.
"I was sent by the Great Elder."
"This is the secret technique of the main family, as a reward for your contribution to the family's soft fist."
The middle-aged Hinata took out a scroll and threw it directly on the ground with a very arrogant attitude.
"Although you didn't do anything wrong last time, as a branch family, you can't disobey Master Deci in your attitude."
"But the great elder is not going to pursue the matter. When you are free, you have to go and teach Master Deci."
The middle-aged Hyuga's tone and attitude were condescending, as if he was the great elder.
And Hyuga Kaitsuki looked at his forehead protector. He was obviously a branch family.
In the Hyuga clan, those who did not show their foreheads must be branch families. The main family wanted to show their smooth foreheads all day long and put them up to the sky to show off.
Hyuga Kaitsuki understood. This was the legendary self-PUA lackey. He had been completely tamed by the main family. The main family did not need to come forward at all. He thought he was different from other branch families and was superior to others. There is no shortage of guides and traitors everywhere. Even the Hyuga branch has different camps.
There are branch families that have completely become lackeys, and there are also those who secretly resist and would rather die than surrender.
But more of them are caged birds that have been worn out of their spirit and can only"perform loyally".’
"That...Thank the Great Elder for me."
Although he was complaining in his heart, Hinata Minetsuki was still respectful on the surface.
In all these years of life in the branch family, Hinata Minetsuki had long learned to be patient and humble. Before growing into a phoenix, he must not be too conspicuous, let alone let the main family think that he is an inferior.
In fact, Hinata Minetsuki's trick is very useful. Before meeting the idiot Hinata Tokuji, he has always been trusted by the main family and avoided the attack of the bird in the cage.
Sure enough, after these words came out, the middle-aged Hinata's face eased a lot.
He originally thought that Hinata Minetsuki was the kind of person who relied on his He was a guy who didn't take the main family seriously, but he looked like a sensible guy.
As for Hinata Minetsuki's double-facedness, the middle-aged Hinata didn't doubt it, thinking that Hinata Minetsuki was just a child in his early teens, how could he hide his thoughts, and geniuses are mostly conceited, how could they control their temper.
But even if he was double-faced, it didn't matter, as long as the bird in the cage was in hand, no matter what kind of genius, he would be completely"convinced". After the middle-aged Hinata left, Hinata Minetsuki picked up the scroll on the ground and slowly opened it to read.
"Gossip · Return to Heaven..."
Hinata Kaiyue secretly disdains in his heart,
"It was the clan leader who promised me a reward, but he asked the great elder to do me a favor..."
"He even put on an appearance of giving alms."
After Hyuga Tokuji's behavior, the caged bird killed his last bit of weakness, making him realize the cannibalistic nature of this world. He has completely given up his fantasy about the main family and others, and only trusts the power in his own hands!
Immediately, Hyuga Minazuki was attracted by the profound content of Bagua Kaiten.
As a thousand-year-old family, the soft fist system has been able to stand firm in the ninja world for many years, and naturally has its advantages. Compared with other ninjutsu that manipulates the nature of chakra, the soft fist changes the form of chakra and develops it to the peak!
"So that's it. This is the secret of resuscitation. Chakra is emitted from the acupuncture points all over the body in a certain pattern, forming a chakra flow...."
"The most important thing is the flow and connection between chakras...."
Hinata Minazuki had studied the art of kaiten before, but without the experience of his predecessors, the results would not be very good.
If he could observe it with his own eyes for a while, he might be able to restore it. However, within the clan, they would naturally not let a branch family observe the art of kaiten.
But now that it was delivered to him, it naturally saved a lot of effort.
"My body hasn't recovered yet, so practicing is impossible."
"While you are recovering, you should first thoroughly study this scroll."
Hinata Kaitsuki's mind was clear, as long as the power in your hands is real, you must seize every minute and every second to improve yourself....
In the Hokage Building, the most powerful place in Konoha, sitting at the highest position is Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen is in his early fifties, which is the peak of a ninja's life. His physical strength declines only slightly, and he has profound combat experience and ninjutsu skills, which are enough to deal with all situations.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is like this at this time. He is bringing Konoha into its heyday. He is full of vigor and vitality. Just sitting there, he has a majestic aura that shrouds the air.
Opposite him is a sinister man with one eye covered and a cane. He is the friend of the Third Hokage, the elder of Konoha, Shimura Danzo
"Recently, the Kumo and Iwa ninjas have been very restless and have been harassing our defenses at the border."
Shimura Danzo reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen,
"I think the current situation is not good, we need to make plans for both situations."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, without commenting.
"I have sent the Anbu to warn them not to cross the line."
Shimura Danzo frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone
"Sarutobi, you know that's not what I mean. We need more than just a warning, we need a blow!"
"You and I both know that those villages have recovered their vitality and are ready to make a move. If we don't take the initiative, we may be in a passive position!"
Sarutobi didn't look up, but lowered his head and looked straight at the scroll in his hand.
The work of the Hokage is very busy, and almost all the daytime time is used to deal with affairs.
"I know...Danzo"
"But we cannot initiate a war, as that would be even more disadvantageous to our situation."
"Konoha was the target of public criticism. If they took the initiative to attack, it would be easy for those guys to form a group."
Having fought his way out of the battlefield, how could he not know these principles? He just played it safe out of habit. After all, he did n't have the peerless martial arts of the first generation, nor the amazing talent of the second generation. In order to maintain the dignity of Konoha, the third generation could only rely on compromise and trickery.
"That...We will be more passive!"
"If we wait for them to come together to fight, who will fight them?!"
"You?"
Danzo didn't say anything. The Third Generation was even more aggressive at this time. It was difficult for Danzo to influence the Third Generation's ideas.
Danzo was suppressed by him and was far from being out of control as he was later.
"I heard that a genius emerged from the Hyuga family."
"Being able to create his own soft fist style shows that he is quite powerful."
Shimura Danzo spoke again.
This time he stood up and took a few steps. He just happened to catch a glimpse of the contents of the scroll in the hands of the Third Generation.
"I just happen to be short of staff."
"Let him join my roots...How is it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully flipped through the contents in his hand, which contained the information about Hinata Minetsuki.
Hinata Minetsuki, 13 years old, from the Hyuga branch family, strength assessment: graduated from the clan training with excellent grades, stronger than the average Chunin, created his own soft fist style, the difficulty and power of which is higher than that of B-level ninjutsu, personality assessment: calm personality, hardworking in training, slightly withdrawn, respectful to parents and elders, Hinata Hiashi has a high opinion of him.
Comprehensive assessment: excellent
"He created his own technique, and it has been passed down for so long. His almost perfect soft fist is indeed a rare talent."
"But this is the Hyuga family, you can't control it, Danzo"
"The Hyuga clan will not agree."
Sarutobi Hiruzen casually put the scroll away and did not let Danzo look at it again. It was obvious that he was unwilling to let him go.
The Hyuga clan was the second largest clan after the Uchiha clan, and its strength and political significance were extraordinary.
Other small clans would let Danzo eat some small fish, but Sarutobi Hiruzen would not let Danzo contact a large clan like the Hyuga clan. Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to suppress all the ninja clans and elders with his own strength, and obtain the position of Hokage with real power. Naturally, he had extraordinary means.
"I have already made arrangements for his destination, so there is no need to say more."
"Go and do your thing, Elder Danzo."
Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and cursed inwardly,
Hyuga disagrees? I'm afraid it's you, the Third Hokage, who disagrees!
Danzo felt disappointed. He had repeatedly wanted to get close to the big families of Konoha, such as Ino-Shika-Chou and Hyuga, so as to gain more say in Konoha. Unfortunately, under the surveillance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was almost impossible.
As a friend and rival for many years, Danzo could naturally think of Sarutobi Hiruzen's method, which was to pull Hinata Minazuki to his own Hokage camp as a supporter or backup force of the Hokage!
""Hmph!"
Danzo snorted coldly and left the office.
One day, he would make Sarutobi Hiruzen regret it!
Seeing Danzo leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the intelligence scroll of Hyuga Kaigetsu again.
"Hyuga...It's a pity that it's a branch family."
He expressed the same feeling. It's not necessarily a good thing to have such a good talent in the Hyuga branch family.
"Besides, the branch family has a caged bird, and the possibility of moving closer to the will of fire is not high...."
"I think it's enough. After all, the Hyuga family doesn't have any young descendants to show off."
"To be precise, since the Hyuga Tennin, there has been no more power called Shadow."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked arrogant, revealing the momentum of having everything under control.
In the entire world, the only power that holds the right to speak is the power called Shadow. The Jonin is good enough, but it cannot play a decisive role.
"A branch family, no matter how outstanding it is, is only at the level of a jonin."
