Lord Yuu was Konoha's heaven, in charge of everything in Konoha—and even the entire Shinobi World!
Anyone could see that clearly.
Just look at the Uchiha Clan. Ever since Lord Yuu had taken an interest in them, they had immediately gone from a clan ostracized to the fringes to Konoha's undisputed number one clan once again. Their influence now ran even deeper than at their peak. Members of the Uchiha Clan could be found in every core department of Konoha, holding important positions.
That was Lord Yuu's influence!
If Hinata could remain by Lord Yuu's side and receive his guidance, not only would her future be limitless, it would also greatly benefit the Hyuga Clan. It was already an incredibly rare opportunity for Hinata to catch Lord Yuu's eye. It was not that Hyuga Hiashi wanted to use his own daughter as a bargaining chip.
But who in Konoha did not know what kind of person Lord Yuu was?
Though he was feared by the other villages of the Shinobi World and his temper was said to be unpredictable, Lord Yuu was absolutely generous to his own people!
The current Fifth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had been able to take the position not merely because he was Jiraiya's disciple and one of the Three Ninja. The most important reason was that, during the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze had been Lord Yuu's most trusted core subordinate.
Likewise, during the Third Shinobi World War, Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, and Inoichi Yamanaka had been among Lord Yuu's trusted subordinates. Lord Yuu had arranged for the three of them to inherit their clan head positions early, even though they had still been somewhat young and not yet of the age to succeed as clan heads.
It had been done to show their loyalty
