Chapter 54 Fireworks that Came to Apologize
Hyuga family.
When Hiashi Hyuga returned, he was told that the elders were looking for him and that Hanabi should go with them.
"Hiashi, you've gotten yourself into trouble again. Tell me about it."
The aged-looking Elder Hyuga sat in the dimly lit room and slowly spoke as he saw Hiashi Hyuga enter through the door.
Hiashi Hyuga went inside and recounted the entire day's events to Elder Hyuga.
"snort!"
"Are those who branch out trying to escape the constraints of the main family and the rules of the Hyuga clan in this way?!"
When Elder Hyuga heard Hiashi mention that someone in their clan had married an outsider during the Third Shinobi World War and had a child, he immediately concluded that it must have been someone from the branch family who did it to avoid the fate of being a caged bird.
"Elder, what should we do about this?"
Hiashi Hyuga knelt on the ground, bowing his head as he asked.
"Hiashi, have you forgotten the lesson I taught you last time?!"
Elder Hyuga roared angrily.
"this……"
Hiashi's expression froze. "Elder, you mean...?"
"Regarding the matter of the day voyage, I praised you back then, but I didn't expect you to have forgotten why I praised you."
Regardless of what the Third Hokage's thoughts are or what decision he ultimately makes, as the head of the Hyuga clan, representing the Hyuga clan, you can only express one attitude, understand?
"Since you've forgotten, I'll teach you again!"
"If you choose to resist, and the Third Hokage also chooses to resist in the end, then the Third Hokage will succumb to the power of the Hyuga clan."
If you choose to resist, and the three generations of adults ultimately choose to compromise, then that's conflict! Enmity!
You chose to compromise and sacrifice, while the three generations of elders chose to resist. That was out of gratitude for the three generations of elders, who valued everyone in the village.
Your choice to compromise and sacrifice, and the Third Hokage's choice to compromise, are all expressions of respect for the Hyuga clan's decision.
Do you understand?
"Our Hyuga clan is not the Uchiha clan. They have no brains, so they were wiped out!"
Elder Hyuga's reprimand left Hiashi Hyuga sweating profusely.
Such talk, which sounds like "political intrigue," might seem out of place elsewhere, but it's not surprising at all in the Hyuga clan, the most feudal clan in the ninja world.
Hanabi, on the other hand, couldn't possibly contain all that information about the dirty world of adults in her little head, and was already getting a little dizzy from listening.
"Hiashi, do you understand? Whatever the Third Hokage's final decision is, you should be prepared."
After saying this, Elder Hyuga looked at Hanabi, who was standing behind Hiashi.
"...Yes, yes."
Hiashi Hyuga nodded with a bitter expression.
"So, have you made a decision? Who will inherit the main family? We've given you so much leeway for so many years, Hiashi. It's time for you to give us an answer and fulfill the rules of our Hyuga clan."
Elder Hyuga was very satisfied to see Hiashi nod.
Hiashi and his younger brother Hizashi were born only a few minutes apart. Hiashi, who was born earlier, became the head of the main family, while Hizashi, who was born later, became a member of the branch family.
When Hishi was three years old, he was carved with the image of a caged bird.
If Hinata and Hanabi were twins born together, the result would be the same.
Hinata is five years older than Hanabi.
Hinata's abilities in all aspects were far inferior to Neji's, her sparring partner.
When Hiashi, who was still alive at the time, thought of this, his grief and resentment were overflowing. As a result, he was directly attacked by Hiashi's Caged Bird technique and fell to the ground in front of Neji, howling in pain.
Later, when Neji was four years old, Hizashi became Hiashi's scapegoat.
When Neji and Hinata were sparring, Neji also felt resentment, which resulted in Hiashi activating the Caged Bird Technique, making Neji experience a feeling worse than death.
However, this also made Hiashi and the clan elders realize Hinata's shortcomings.
Insufficient ability, and also lacking in personality.
Around that time, Hiashi's wife became pregnant again and gave birth to Hanabi.
Hiashi then proposed to the elders that Hanabi should grow up first, with the winner becoming the head family and the loser having a caged bird carved on their body to become a branch family.
Hiashi brought up this idea because when the caged bird was actually on his own child, he felt a little reluctant to part with him.
Hanabi did not disappoint him; in terms of talent and personality, she showed a demeanor that made her more suitable than her older sister Hinata to inherit the position of head of the main family.
This matter could have been delayed any longer.
If we wait until one day in the future, the Hyuga elders pass away, and one day the newly succeeding Hokage decides to forcefully change the rules of the Hyuga clan, then perhaps we won't have to carve the Caged Bird Seal anymore.
Unfortunately, due to the recent incident in Amegakure, this matter has been brought up again, and Hiashi can no longer escape it.
"I will give you an answer before the Third Hokage makes a decision, before the Chunin Exams are over."
Just as Hiashi was about to speak up and give up on Hinata, Hanabi tugged at his sleeve. Seeing his youngest daughter's stubborn expression, Hiashi had no choice but to speak.
Afterwards, the father and daughter, who had left Elder Hyuga's residence, returned to the courtyard where they had been talking that morning.
"Hanabi, I know you've liked your older sister since you were little, but she's really not suitable to be the clan leader."
Putting aside her abilities, her personality is just too cowardly, do you understand?
Hiashi earnestly advised Hanabi.
Hanabi shook her head vigorously: "This time it was clearly my fault, how can I let my sister suffer in my place? Father, I'm sure you've been blaming yourself ever since Uncle Hizashi's sacrifice, haven't you?"
"..."
Hiashi Hyuga looked somewhat ashamed.
It wasn't that he felt ashamed of his younger brother, Hizashi, but rather that he didn't actually feel much remorse.
After all, if he really felt guilty, he wouldn't have used the Caged Bird Warning on Neji.
But to say that he is completely shameless and thinks that the division of the family and the sacrifices are a matter of course, doesn't seem to be the case.
He still feels ashamed when Hanabi asks him questions.
Humans are complex beings.
"Father, let's go see what my sister's next battle is like in the Chunin Exams! If she can show a proactive and positive attitude, then Father, please don't drag her into it."
Hanabi clenched her fists tightly and looked up at Hiashi Hyuga.
"……All right."
Hiashi Hyuga had no choice but to agree.
However, he didn't think Hinata could show any ambition; it would be good enough if she didn't embarrass the Hyuga clan.
The second round of the Death Forest reel competition has ended.
The 1v1 individual duel qualifying rounds are about to begin.
Hinata returned home, puzzled as to why Hanabi wasn't there. She whispered to her father, "Father, where's Hanabi?"
"snort."
Japanese athlete snorted coldly and did not reply.
Hanabi went out after dinner.
He had originally intended to remind Hanabi not to wander off and to stay home.
But when Hiashi thought of the pressure on Hanabi, he softened and let Hyuga Natsu follow and protect her from a distance, so that Hanabi could relax by herself.
What about fireworks?
Hanabi asked around and found the residence of the village chief of Amegakure.
dong dong.
Bai Mo opened the door, and Xiao Hua Huo stood timidly at the doorway, holding a package.
"Um, I'm here to apologize, and I brought a first-aid kit. Where's the guy with the missing arm who was injured by my father?"
"He went back to the village."
After letting Huahuo in, Bai Mo closed the door.
As for Hyuga Natsu outside, she was monitoring with her Byakugan activated, but she could only see the images and not hear the sounds.
"Actually, no one was injured or killed yesterday, so you don't need to blame yourself."
After entering the house and sitting down, Bai Mo got straight to the point.
"Huh?"
"W-What? No casualties?"
Xiaohuahu took a sip of the hot tea that Xianglin had served, and her little face was full of confusion when she heard Baimo's words.
