The Hyuga Shall Stand Above, In The Heavens!

"In short, the First Hokage was too great. At the Valley of the End, he even said that for the sake of the village, he could kill his own clansmen, friends, and even siblings, so he decisively took out Uchiha Madara."

"But the Hyuga can't do that, and I, the Patriarch, don't have that kind of enlightened thinking. The original intention of the Hyuga joining Konohagakure was to enjoy the shade under a large tree, with the Senju in front, sacrificing a small part of our clansmen on the battlefield in exchange for a deserved peaceful environment."

In other words, when the input and return are not equal, the original covenant naturally doesn't count anymore.

"However, I'm not necessarily obliged to lead the Hyuga away. Time will prove what's right and wrong. I won't be petty and deny Konohagakure a chance; this is also giving the Hyuga themselves an opportunity."

Hyuga Hitoshi spread his hands.

"You all know the intelligence from the front lines; Kumogakure Village is restless."

"The Hyuga clan's tasks are twofold from now on."

"First, on the front lines, we must reforge the Hyuga's glory. It is our unshirkable duty to offer a modest contribution to the village and gain merit."

"Second, train the elite to be ready at any time to join me in cleaning up the rear base, striving to achieve both escape and troop training!"

Actually, there's a third point.

That is to continue to intensify our efforts, to coax our brother Fugaku into taking a stand and charging forward, to draw the old village chief's attention onto the Uchiha, leaving him no time to trouble the Hyuga clan.

Otherwise, given the old village chief's temperament, and considering how Hitoshi openly sided with the Uchiha during the higher-ups' meeting, the old village chief would surely find ways to test and hint at him. Hitoshi isn't afraid, but dealing with those politicians and their insincere flattery is just too annoying.

Looking up at Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi, Patriarch Hitoshi saw confusion on their faces.

This was normal.

At that time, the brothers didn't know that the Hyuga clan would face even more frustration than the Uchiha are now.

According to the original story, after the Nine-Tails' disturbance, Kumogakure Village invaded aggressively, and the Hyuga clan's performance was so outstanding that it caught the Fourth Raikage's attention, leading to the later incident of Kumogakure kidnapping Hinata under the moonlight.

But who could have imagined that the Hyuga's outstanding performance on the battlefield would become their sin, nearly forcing the current Patriarch to his death?

So, what virtue and ability did he have to continue staying in this village?

Besides giving the brothers a heads-up at this time, Hyuga Hitoshi also planned to step up his efforts on the future battlefield, upgrading from a commendable performance to becoming one of the heroes of the war.

The contrast of being treated coldly would only become more severe!

The influence of a hero leaving the village are completely different.

Not to mention that it would be done under circumstances where the village is in the wrong, the feeling of standing tall as a renegade ninja is simply too thrilling.

As for the battlefield performance that would surely cause casualties among his clansmen, Hyuga Hitoshi had his own plans, so there was no need to worry.

"Listening to all this, I always feel that the internal affairs of Konohagakure are dirtier than those of Sunagakure Village."

After Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi left with solemn expressions, Hyuga Pakura naturally leaned into Hitoshi's embrace.

When she became a sacrifice of Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village, besieged by enemies, it was Hyuga Hitoshi who saved her.

At that time, she felt as if her whole world had collapsed. If she couldn't trust the village she had fought for, who could she trust?

What was the point of everything she, the so-called hero of Sunagakure, had done?

To this day, Pakura has not gotten over it. She knows that if it weren't for Hyuga Hitoshi, she would have died on the road to Kirigakure Village.

So when she agreed to repay him with her body, she did so without resistance, considering it a way to repay her debt. She gave herself willingly, and now, she probably wouldn't want to leave this man.

However, she has never let go of this gratitude and resentment; it's just hidden deep in her heart. If she ever gets the chance, she will definitely choose to take revenge on Sunagakure Village, especially on Rasa.

But for now, it seems that the mess in Konohagakure is no less than that of Sunagakure Village, and even their Third Hokage plays dirtier than Rasa!

"The Hokage and Rasa are cut from the same cloth."

Thinking this, Pakura spoke with a hint of mockery.Actually, there's a third point.

She heard Hyuga Hitoshi's disdainful sneer.

"Rasa?"

"Merely grains of sand, not even worth half of the old village chief!"

"In terms of internal martial arts, he's not even qualified to carry the old village chief's shoes. And fundamentally, he's not the same kind of person as the old village chief; he's completely insane."

After all, considering Gaara's experiences, it's hard to believe Rasa isn't seriously ill.

Can a normal person manipulate someone's closest kin to assassinate a Jinchuriki, deliberately provoke the Jinchuriki to see if they'll rampage?

Ah, Rasa didn't take the ordinary path. To provoke Gaara into a rampage, he even had someone tell Gaara that he was betrayed by his closest kin.

Jinchuriki trials, cultivating a strong heart is right, but you have to be realistic.

The guy can't even sleep, and you're still pushing him to the edge.

Think about it, how old was Gaara at that time?

It's hard enough for a child of a few years to understand something correctly, and you're pushing him to see if he can rampage? Is this a method an adult would come up with to confirm a Jinchuriki?

Excluding the main character, other villages don't treat their Jinchuriki so harshly. This is just forcing a rampage.

In other words, you're so great, you can suppress Shukaku multiple times, why don't you become the Jinchuriki yourself? In the end, you just don't have the guts.

Hmm.

Comparing Rasa to the old village chief is an insult to the old village chief!

Not to mention the Jinchuriki, the number of his own people the old village chief had Danzo eliminate far surpasses Rasa. How can he even be compared to the old village chief?

"You seem quite proud."

Pakura looked at Hyuga Hitoshi in shock, not understanding her man's competitive desire sometimes, just like she wouldn't move unless she called him 'daddy.'

"After all, not everyone can handle the old village chief's martial arts with ease."

Hyuga Hitoshi said proudly.

Does this have anything to do with your pride?

Pakura fell into thought, and just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw a group of people in the distance, a look of surprise appearing on her pretty face.

Squeezing out from Patriarch Hitoshi's embrace, she waved towards the distance.

The beautiful woman holding a baby also had a look of joy, handing the baby to a child who came with her, and then quickly walked over.

However, she didn't rush to catch up with Pakura, instead blushing as she glanced at Patriarch Hitoshi and whispered something to Hyuga Hitoshi.

Then Hyuga Hitoshi was stunned, sweeping a glance at the baby held by the filial son and falling into thought. Seeing him like this, a flash of sadness crossed the beautiful woman's face.

But her disappointment didn't last long. Hyuga Hitoshi, adept at observing others, had a sharp look in his eyes. He whispered something to the beautiful woman, and then her face turned even redder, coquettishly pushing Hitoshi away before going to greet Hyuga Pakura.

Should I be seeing this?

In the distance.

Uchiha Shisui, standing with the filial son holding the second son, felt immense pressure.

He somewhat regretted coming along, having seen what he shouldn't have. Would he be silenced by Hitoshi?

After all, it concerns the Patriarch's wife, affecting the face of the Uchiha clan. So should I remind the Patriarch when I go back?

But is it too blunt to say it outright?

Shisui's frown deepened the more he thought about it.

Until that tall figure came over with an oppressive presence, and without a word, snatched Itachi's brother, lifting the second son by the collar into the air to take a closer look.

Shisui couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes filled with terror, and even Itachi on the ground had a complex expression.

The reason was simple.

The tiny infant, after relentless effort, called out the first word he had learned.

"Daddy~"

And Hitoshi couldn't contain himself either, his piercing gaze returning a character for 'grass'.
