Chapter 17: Chapter Sixteen: Responses From All Clans!
"Hurry up!"
"Quickly, let's go back to our old clan land, throw away the extra things!"
"Don't dawdle!"
"This is Lord Fourth Hokage's permission! We can finally return to the clan land we once occupied!"
Today, the Uchiha family is bustling with activity. All the Uchiha clan members are happily packing their things. Since Uchiha Fugaku returned from the Hokage building, a Uchiha Clan Meeting was held directly.
This time, it wasn't about arguing whether to rebel or not. Instead, Fugaku directly delivered orders from the patriarch, announcing several directives given by Hokori. Among them, when it was revealed that they could move back to their original location, several elders in the clan immediately stopped objecting. This time, they cooperated more actively.
As for the guards, the elders naturally understood the pros and cons. Allowing other ninjas to join could significantly change Konoha's perception of the guards. Such a good opportunity was hard for the elders to oppose, so immediately, the entire Uchiha clan began to act. The relocation marked the beginning of a grand move.
Looking at the smiling Uchiha clan in front of him, Fugaku couldn't help but nod. Indeed, this was the only way out for the Uchiha clan.
"Hmph! So what if we're relocating the clan~"
"Hokages are all the same type!"
"We, the Uchiha clan, should seize power ourselves!"
"That's right, the Konoha Guard belongs to our Uchiha clan, but they even intervened to arrange for other ninjas to come in, just to eat away at our Uchiha clan!"
Just when the whole family was preparing to move, a small group of Uchiha members gathered together. Scarlet Sharingan eyes watched all this coldly, each expressing their inner dissatisfaction.
But these people didn't know that every word they said was being recorded by a figure not far away. Uchiha Fugaku noticed this group of people at a glance.
Looking at these guys, Fugaku's good mood was instantly ruined.
"Snort!"
"No one can destroy the great situation that the Uchiha clan has finally created!"
"I originally planned to deal with it later~"
Seeing this, Fugaku went directly to the person arranging tasks in the clan.
"Patriarch!"
"Hmm! Go, inform Uchiha Inahiro and them!"
"The clan's mines on the border of Lightning and Fire have been attacked; let them deal with it~"
Hearing Fugaku's order, the Uchiha person in charge of arranging tasks didn't think much of it. They just assumed it was truly under attack.
Soon the task was sent to Uchiha Inahiro and others. Upon seeing the mission, Uchiha Inahiro and the others didn't take it seriously, quickly packed up the supplies, and set off directly.
As the proud Uchiha clan, how could they tolerate someone daring to offend their family's industry? Little did they know, once gone, these people would stay there forever.
And the mighty move of the Uchiha family also attracted the attention of other families in the village.
"Hiss, how did the Uchiha clan return to their previous clan land?"
"What exactly is Lord Hokage planning?"
For a time, the major families were discussing it. The Uchiha clan, who were originally pushed to the edge of Konoha, now returned to the heart of Konoha Village. The signal released by this is somewhat intriguing.
As for the Hyuga clan, which is a major Konoha clan:
"Brother, I think it's better to meet the Fourth Hokage as soon as possible~"
"It can be seen from the Fourth Hokage's actions against the Shimura family and the Sarutobi family!"
"Fourth Hokage's grasp of power is also extremely strong, even stronger than the Third Hokage!"
"So, we must release our goodwill in advance!"
After a while of analysis by Hyuga Hizashi, as the patriarch, Hyuga Hiashi frowned at the moment. According to the strategy of the Hyuga clan, no matter who the Hokage is, the Hyuga family maintains absolute neutrality and is not greedy. If there is a foreign threat, then my Hyuga clan will send ninjas and supplies, but never take sides.
But now, Hyuga Hiashi is struggling. Hizashi on the side was also anxious when he saw this. Now the Senju clan is gone, and the only wealthy families in Konoha are the Uchiha family and the Hyuga family. But now, the Uchiha clan clearly has Hokage's support.
"Brother! Think of the Uchiha clan! What was it like not long ago, and what is it like today after Fugaku went to the Hokage building yesterday?"
Hearing this sentence, Hyuga Hiashi instantly dispelled the worries in his heart. It's time for the Hyuga clan to make some changes. Seeing this, Hizashi on the side also heaved a sigh of relief. With such a powerful Hokage, maybe he can change the ridiculous branch house clan system of the Hyuga clan.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but look forward to it. In fact, the Hyuga family has always advertised themselves as wealthy alongside the Uchiha family, but their position is very embarrassing.
It can be seen from the original: the Uchiha family, as long as they wear the clothes with the round fan family crest, the commoners of Konoha have nothing but fear. And the Hyuga clan, as the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, can be bullied by a few ordinary kids. This is the gap between the two clans.
Soon due to changes in the Uchiha clan, other families in Konoha Village also took action. And as a Hokage family, the Ino–Shika–Chō clans even came to the Hokage office at the same time. The patriarchs of the three clans offered their loyalty directly to Hokori.
With the Ino–Shika–Chō trilogy at the head, other big and small families naturally flocked there, without exception, expressing their family loyalty to Hokori.
As for the Hyuga clan, watching the two brothers Hyuga Hiashi coming, Hokori also spoke directly without any concealment: "Do you want to change the ridiculous branch house and clan system of the Hyuga clan?"
Hearing this sentence, both Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were confused. As the patriarch, Hyuga Hiashi felt more guilt for his younger brother, so he was dissatisfied with this system. And Hyuga Hizashi was particularly excited, as expected, Lord Hokage has this plan!
"Lord Hokage, please enlighten me!"
At this time, the mood of the two was the same. In an instant, they bowed down in front of Hokori. Seeing this, Hokori also nodded, then looked at White Fang beside him.
"Today, White Fang will follow you back to the Hyuga clan to completely solve the so-called branch house system~"
"Caged Bird, hehe, it's like cutting off an arm, it's ridiculous!"
Hearing Hokori's words, Hyuga Hiashi was stunned for a moment.
"Lord Hokage, this, Lord White Fang and we go back, how to solve it?"
"Isn't it going to kill people?!"
"This... this won't work at all!"
How could Hyuga Hiashi, who was already indecisive, agree to this method? If by force, the old guys of those clans will definitely not give in.
Seeing Hyuga Hiashi's appearance, Hokori immediately said with disdain: "You don't know what the Hyuga clan looks like, do you?"
"It's just a group of blood-sucking things attached to the branch house. How many people are there in the clan that are really worthy of the branch house's protection?"
"Have you seen that the Uchiha clan is divided into branch house and clan house?"
Speaking of which, Hokori looked at the Caged Bird imprint on Hizashi's head with a little playfulness.
"I'm afraid that my eyes will leak out, and I'm afraid that the branch house will rebel. If the branch house was not controlled by Caged Bird, I think it would have been reversed long ago~"
"Afraid of this and that! You Hyuga clan deserve to be advertised alongside the Uchiha clan?"
"As for that, it's up to you how to choose!"
After all, Hokori continued to process the documents in front of him. At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi fell silent for an instant. Hokori's words thundered in Hyuga Hiashi's mind like a storm.
After a long time, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly looked at the Caged Bird imprint on Hizashi's head next to him, as if he had made a decision in an instant.
"I understand, Lord Hokage!"
"Lord White Fang, please follow me to the land of the Hyuga clan!"
Looking at Hyuga Hiashi who made a choice, Hokori naturally showed a satisfied smile. White Fang on the side followed the two Hyuga brothers to the Hyuga tribe with an expression on his face.
"Lord Hokage, Chief Fugaku requests an audience!"
