Between Konoha and the Hyuga Clan
Three days later, at the Hyuga residence.
Hyuga Hiashi had no intention of visiting the so-called family friends. After a brief social interaction, he returned to Konoha with his family guards.
"Good afternoon, Father!"
"Yawn..."
Lying on the rocking chair, Hinata Hyuga Hiashi greeted Hiashi Hyuga.
"Get up!"
Hyuga Hiashi, his face dark, snapped, "Where have all the etiquette you've learned over the years gone?"
"Hi! Hi!"
Hinata responded weakly, struggled to get up from the rocking chair, and looked up at Hyuga Hiashi.
"Hinata... uh! Hinata, you..."
Hiashi Hyuga was startled. How come his precious daughter had developed dark circles under her eyes after only three Hyuga Hiashi?
"Hinata, what's wrong?" Hyuga Hiashi asked, puzzled.
"Why!"
Hinata sighed deeply, shaking her head as she said, "Father, it's all tears when I think about it!"
Hyuga Hiashi: "..."
Hinata glanced up at Hiashi Hyuga and sighed as she explained, "Father, I've been studying Orochimaru's experimental notes these Hyuga Hiashi few days..."
Hiashi Hyuga said helplessly, "Fine! Just take better care of yourself from now on!"
Given the physical constitution of ninjas, as long as they don't encounter intense battles, they can endure going without sleep for days, let alone a strong person like Hinata.
Hinata's exhausted appearance was definitely an act by Hyuga Hiashi, who was worried about being discovered for doing something wrong and was using the Transformation Jutsu to pretend!
Hyuga Hiashi to himself, "It seems I need to check the family accounts..."
His gaze shifted to Hinata.
"Hinata, you've contacted Orochimaru, haven't you?"
Although it was a question, it was phrased with certainty.
"Okay!"
Hinata nodded vigorously, then secretly glanced at Hyuga Hiashi. Seeing that Hyuga Hiashi still had a poker face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Hinata was five years old, Hinata rolled on the ground and then ran home to tell Hyuga Hiashi that it was the result of her hard training, which made Hyuga Hiashi believe her without a doubt.
Since then, Hinata has used this trick to deceive Hyuga Hiashi worked.
Hyuga Hiashi a light snort and said calmly, "Come to the study with me to talk!"
"Hi! Hi!"
In the study, after brewing tea, Hyuga Hiashi poured a cup for Hinata and himself.
For Hyuga Hiashi right now, nothing is more important than the evolution of the entire Hyuga clan.
Especially after the effects of the Body Tempering Pill were proven, the entire Hyuga Clan went crazy.
"During this meeting with Orochimaru, I have confirmed the cooperation details with the Hyuga Clan on behalf of the Orochimaru."
Hyuga Hiashi took a sip of tea and calmly explained, "Our Hyuga Clan provides Urashiki's cells to Orochimaru for research, and Orochimaru provides our Hyuga Clan with five hundred doses of secret medicine every month."
"Orochimaru is extremely dangerous, but..."
At this point, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hinata with a deep gaze.
Hinata nodded slightly.
"Don't worry! There's no need to worry about Orochimaru!"
Hyuga Hiashi was slightly relieved upon hearing this, and then continued, "There are currently 87 ninjas in our Hyuga Clan who are qualified to take the secret medicine, and another 137 people will also have the opportunity to take the secret medicine if they train hard."
"Among the 50 people currently taking the secret medicine, the shortest two-stage treatment period is five days, and the longest is eighteen days..."
Hinata interrupted, "Father, you can take care of these things. I still need to study Orochimaru's experimental notes."
"Experiment notes?"
Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something. After a moment of consideration, he said to Hinata, "Hinata, if you have the chance, try to get all of Orochimaru's experimental notes."
"If the Hyuga Clan wants to go down that path... we can't rely on Orochimaru alone. The Hyuga Clan must have its own research talents!"
Hinata was shocked!
"Father, you truly have great foresight!"
For a race to enter the universe, strength alone is not enough.
Hinata still remembers the Saiyan from the anime "Dragon Ball".
Saiyan are a race that only has muscles and no brains. All of their technology is under Frieza's control, and they have no secrets within their own race.
"Orochimaru's techniques can indeed be taken home."
"That's right!"
Hinata suddenly said, "Father, I plan to give Urashiki's entire body to Orochimaru for research. Urashiki's physical data is very important to me!"
Hyuga Hiashi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can handle it yourself!"
"..."
"This time when we left the village, the Anbu was following us the whole time."
Hinata fell silent upon hearing this. She first looked up at Hyuga Hiashi, then quickly lowered her head again.
Hyuga Hiashi laid so much groundwork, but what he really wanted to say was probably just that last sentence!
Konoha!
The Hyuga Clan embarked on a different path, and leaving Konoha is only a matter of time.
Hinata may seem indifferent to everything, but Hyuga Hiashi knows that Hinata values emotions the most.
If it weren't for the emotional bonds that Hinata, Konoha would never have been able to keep Hinata.
Hinata worked as Tsunade's secretary for a period of time. Although it was only a few months, they forged a deep friendship.
How will the Hyuga Clan face Konoha?
Konoha has made its stance clear ever since Tsunade sent the Anbu to track Hyuga Hiashi.
The act of tracking implies suspicion, suggesting that Konoha wants to investigate the Hyuga Clan's secrets and has already taken action.
The surveillance also signifies that Konoha is using underhanded methods to steal the Hyuga Clan's secrets, and serves as a warning to the Hyuga Clan.
The Uchiha clan forced to attempt a coup precisely because the village had been monitoring them.
Most normal people wouldn't like living under someone else's surveillance.
Imagine someone put a hidden camera in your house, would you be happy?
"The Anbu!"
Hinata sighed and asked, "What does Father intend to do?"
Hyuga Hiashi relaxed and spoke with considerable confidence, "The Hyuga Clan today is far superior to the Uchiha clan of the past!"
"At least..."
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hinata and said with great satisfaction, "At least as the pillar of the clan, Hinata... your heart is with the clan!"
Hinata gave Hyuga Hiashi a strange look. Were you just looking down on Itachi?
Hmph! I'll tell Itachi, you better watch out!
Hyuga Hiashi continued, "Our Hyuga Clan's plan has now begun, and the first step has been an unimaginable success."
"Five hundred doses of secret medicine every month... If my guess is correct, after a year, at least 100 ninjas in the clan will be able to learn Sage Mode..."
"Hinata, once you imprint the Yin-Yang Seal on them, theoretically speaking, they will be no different from the immortal beings in the Three Great Sage Regions."
"Konoha... will never tolerate us!"
