Hinata openly disobeyed Main Family.
Even though she is the daughter of the head of the Main Family, as a branch of the family, according to common sense, she must be severely punished.
Hiashi hesitated again and again, looking at Hinata who showed a sense of distance in his calmness, but finally did not use Caged Bird Seal.
If it were any other branch family member, they would have been tortured and reprimanded by Hiashi using Caged Bird.
But he didn't do this for his daughters Hinata and Hiashi.
He also had an intuition that Hinata didn't seem to care whether he would use Caged Bird, and was even ready to be punished by him.
"Forget it, just step back." Hiashi sighed.
Hinata knelt down again, stood up, and left the room.
Wait for Hinata to leave.
Wow!
A door opened, and Hanabi walked in cautiously. "Father..."
"You have also seen, Hanabi, that your sister refused to hand over the powerful Taijutsu. Since she became a branch family member, she has developed resentment against the family in her heart. You must pay attention to this." Hiashi said.
Hanabi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I will not become like my sister..."
"No, you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that as the next generation of clan leader, you should be alert to every branch family and never give them any chance!"
Hanabi looked up in shock, only to see Hiashi's cold face.
Maintaining absolute control over the branch family is what Main Family people should do, and it is also the mission and responsibility of the Hyuga Clan patriarch.
Especially after the Huomen incident, the estrangement and division within the Hyuga Clan is no longer a secret.
Now this opposition is just suppressed.
"I have lost my eyes, and this is the end of my life. You still have to shoulder the important responsibility of the family...Hanabi, I will never allow you to lose to Hinata!" Hiashi shouted.
Hanabi agreed respectfully, but his face showed deep confusion.
Do you want to compete with your sister? Compete with the sister who was once so gentle and kind, but now has become so cold and insensitive but shows a genius?
Some are happy and some are sad.
Not many people care about what happens inside the Hyuga Clan.
Others are caring about the things they care about.
Hokage Building.
Minato and Genitsu are drawing up the team list.
"Then, the other young people have almost made arrangements, and only these few are left..."
Minato rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath, getting a rare moment of leisure from the heavy official duties.
Genitsu sat in the deputy seat and nodded. "I can't attach too much importance to this time. This batch of Genin is so outstanding."
At this time, two figures opened the door and walked straight in.
"I heard that you want to finalize the list, Fourth Generation? Then we must help you. We are very experienced in this area and will help you."
"That's right, fourth generation, I think Naruto and Sasuke should be separated. We must not let the super genius of the Uchiha Clan have a chance to get close to Nine-Tails."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura rushed over like sharks that smelled blood.
Only power can make these two old guys so active.
"Hey, you two are still alive. I almost forgot about you." Genitsu saw these two coming and was too lazy to move. He sat on his seat and started taunting.
"Hmph, don't go too far, you guy. We won't harm the village."
"You don't understand. Class division is very important. It is also the best opportunity for these young people to build bonds. You must not be careless."
The two men sing along, hoping to gain more power like before.
As early as the two years when the fourth generation first came to power, the two of them, as remnants of the third generation era, insisted on not abdicating for the good of the fourth generation and cut off the authority of the fourth generation.
It stands to reason that when the fourth generation comes to power, several people of the same generation should be promoted as assistants and Hokage assistants.
But these two old guys had no self-awareness at all. They insisted on occupying their positions and refused to give up their positions to the young people.
In other words, Genitsu will ignore these "highly respected" two people, start a fight when they meet, and intervene forcefully, not giving these two people any chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
Over a long period of time, he continued to snatch away the power of these two relics of the old era bit by bit.
Genitsu only focuses on the absolute control of Root and has no interest in things other than Root. These seized powers naturally return to the hands of Hokage.
"I have completely opposite opinions than you two. Naruto and Sasuke should be formed into a team." Genitsu said.
"What? What are you talking about? How can the first and second place form a team? There is no such convention! The first place should partner with the last place, and then arrange an excellent companion as a supplement to form a team of three!"
"And Sasuke is the best descendant of that clan. His father and brother both own Mangekyō Sharingan! Sasuke is very likely to open Mangekyō Sharingan. It is really dangerous to put Nine-Tails Jinchuriki next to this clan!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura said loudly.
Minato also looked at Genitsu, wanting to hear what Genitsu had to say.
"You two know nothing. You obviously don't understand anything and you are still giving blind orders."
Genitsu sneered, "Because Mangekyō Sharingan is very dangerous, so you chose to escape from the beginning? Sasuke hasn't opened Mangekyō Sharingan yet, it's just Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Now that you're here, you don't even dare to form a team?"
"This is different..."
"It's the same, I say it's the same, you two are superfluous, get out of here."
Genitsu slapped the ground directly. In an instant, the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed and they fell to the first floor on the spot.
"The fourth generation, Naruto and Sasuke forming a team is the best thing. These two have been competing for six years and have developed a deep relationship." Genitsu said.
"You..." Minato looked at the big hole that appeared in the office, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The methods were a little rough, but without those two old guys dictating things, it was much quieter.
Only Genitsu dares to do such a thing unscrupulously.
"So, Naruto and Sasuke form a team, who should we choose as the third person? Hinata or Yakumo?"
"My suggestion is Hinata. Hinata's Byakugan can bring good perception to this team, making up for the shortcomings of Naruto and Sasuke."
Genitsu said.
If we had to find one shortcoming of Naruto and Sasuke, it would undoubtedly be their perception ability.
In terms of ninjutsu and Taijutsu, both of them have maxed out their abilities. In terms of illusion, Sasuke has Sharingan, and Naruto has Nine-Tails who can be immune to illusion.
And both of them have amazing Chakra capacity.
Stuffing a Hinata in it can make up for it very well.
"Then it's decided, Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata will form a team, but who should be chosen to lead the team, Kakashi?" Minato pondered.
Kakashi is his disciple, which is extremely suitable in terms of inheritance.
Moreover, Kakashi is Two-Tails Jinchuriki, which can very well guide Naruto to control the power of Nine-Tails.
But the problem is that Kakashi is not the kind of person who is friendly. Whether he can provide good guidance to Naruto Sasuke Hinata is a question mark.
"Let me think about it again..." Minato did not make a decision immediately, and asked about other things, "Naruto's strength at this age, Genitsu, what do you think?"
Genitsu was startled. "This is a good thing. It is better to control Nine-Tails earlier than later."
Minato hesitated. "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that I don't even understand a lot of things that happened to Naruto, Wood Release and Tailed Beast Transformation..."
Minato had a headache, and he suddenly felt that his son was so strange.
How did Naruto own Wood Release Bloodline Limit? How did you reach a consensus with Nine-Tails and obtain the power of Nine-Tails?
Is there any conspiracy in this? Is it possible for Naruto to be deceived and exploited?
"Everything else can be false, but only strength will not lie."
Genitsu just said these words, then nodded slightly, turned around and left Hokage's office.
He knew what Minato really wanted to ask, which was nothing more than what he thought about the fact that Naruto's mysterious teacher was Akatsuki's Kyon.
How can Genitsu be viewed? You can only look at it with your eyes.
Minato was sitting alone in the office in a daze. He hesitated for a moment and went home early, intending to talk to Naruto.
But Naruto is not at home, but practicing.
call out!
Minato uses Flying Thunder God Technique to appear next to Naruto.
"You just finished Graduation Exam, and you came to practice after having such an intense battle with Sasuke? Your body is not fully trained yet." Minato said.
Naruto didn't blink an eye and said calmly, "I'm still far behind. I will never be willing to lose to a guy like Sasuke."
Minato sighed, "You have been number one for the past six years. No matter how hard you try, Sasuke is no match for you. It doesn't matter if you let him win once in a while, right? Besides, Sasuke is very good and can rival you."
Naruto said coldly, "Sasuke surpassed me, I can't accept it, I should be better than him!"
Minato said helplessly, "As my son, can't you afford to lose?"
"You don't understand." Naruto's words left Minato speechless.
The father and son just stood frozen in place, and the atmosphere was depressing.
After a long time, Minato said slowly, "Since you are so keen on practicing, I will teach you a very practical technique. That technique is called Rasengan, a Muyin A-level ninjutsu..."
"No, you are very busy, go and do your own thing. Even if I want to learn ninjutsu, I can learn from my teacher."
Naruto is refining Chakra, constantly creating black trees, training Wood Release.
"..."
Minato There is really nothing we can do.
Speaking of which, 12-year-old boys have already entered the rebellious stage. No matter what their parents say, their children will like to challenge them to prove that they can do it.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, the relationship between Naruto and Minato will become even more estranged...
Minato also realized this and sighed deeply, "Back then, when your mother was still pregnant with you, she had high hopes for you, hoping that you would become a great ninja."
As soon as he heard his mother, Naruto stopped moving and looked at Minato silently.
Mother... an unfamiliar word.
He had almost never shouted this word, and he had never seen the woman who gave birth to him and died of a serious illness.
"I'm on the road to becoming a great ninja." Naruto said.
Minato shook his head slightly. "You are still far behind, and your control over Nine-Tails has not reached the level of your mother."
"How did my mother control the big fox?"
"Big fox..." Minato paused, "She can use her absolute power to forcibly extract Chakra from Nine-Tails for use. You can use Nine-Tails's power at this age, presumably because you are communicating with Nine-Tails? You actually have no ability to control Nine-Tails."
"Humph, don't listen to your father's nonsense. What if you forcefully control me? I'm not always looking for opportunities to get back."
Nine-Tails looks ferocious.
The two women Mito and Kushina brought it too much pain.
Mito was so powerful that until the end of his life, Nine-Tails could not find a chance to retaliate.
But Kushina is not as strong. You can beat it with Adamantine Sealing Chains at every turn. Is it very powerful? How did you die in the end?
"Naruto, you are very suitable for me. As long as the two of us get along well, you don't need to worry about anything. The only problem between you and me now is not that I refuse to help you, but that you are too weak to carry more Chakra from me." Nine-Tails said.
Naruto remained calm, but agreed in his heart.
Although he and his mother, who died young, were both Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they took different paths.
"I'll outdo you two, and in my own way, I'm already on the right path."
Naruto said to Minato.
"That's true. I have another question. Where did your Wood Release Bloodline Limit come from?"
"The teacher helped me develop my awakening. He said that I have always had Wood Release's talent." Naruto said coldly.
Minato frowned in thought, Wood Release Bloodline Limit, so far only First owns it.
Senju and Uzumaki are distant relatives and related by blood... Then it makes sense that Naruto awakens Wood Release Bloodline Limit.
Snap!
Minato put his palm on Naruto and used Chakra to explore it. No problem was found, so he was relieved. "Are you really not going to learn Rasengan from me? This is a very powerful ninjutsu."
"If you don't want to learn, please leave quickly. I want to continue practicing." Naruto said.
"The results of your class placement have come out. You, Sasuke and Hinata are assigned to Team 7."
Minato sighed and left with Flying Thunder God.
"Sasuke and I are on the same team?" Naruto looked gloomy and gritted his teeth, "Very good, this way I will have a chance to defeat him!!"
Naruto never looked back on the road to blackness, and practiced harder and harder.
That night.
Genitsu has a visitor.
Uchiha Itachi.
"It's you two who are here... about Sasuke?" Genitsu said with a smile.
"Yes and no, I discovered something very strange and want to ask you for advice."
Itachi acted very respectfully.
"Can I ask for advice? It's interesting. It seems you discovered something. Tell me, what is it?"
"Excuse me, are there any problems with Sasuke and Naruto? For example, Naruto, as a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, suddenly realized that only Wood Release Bloodline Limit is unique to First, which is unusual, and Sasuke seems to have some conflicts with elder Setsuna..."
Itachi hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly, feeling uneasy.
