"Lord Shinsuke never said."
At Chiba's question, Hyuga Yukyō thought for a moment, then shook his head and answered truthfully.
No motive?
How could there be no motive?
Without sufficient motivation, how could Hyuga Shinsuke betray his own brother? How could he do something like this for no reason?
He had even gone so far as to cooperate with someone like that at any cost!
It made no sense! There had to be a motive here!
Clutching the letter Hyuga Yukyō had handed him, Chiba furrowed his brow deeply. Hyuga Shinsuke could not possibly have had no motive, but even Hyuga Yukyō did not know what it was. That was strange.
From Hyuga Yukyō's account just now, it was obvious that he could be considered a participant in this rebellion. And although he had not taken part in the specific steps, Hyuga Shinsuke had more or less told him the entire plan. That was already a display of "extreme trust."
Yet even so, Hyuga Yukyō did not know the motive. That was rather odd.
"For something this huge, you helped without even asking why?"
Unable to make sense of it, Chiba could not help but blurt out a complaint. Naturally, his tone was not particularly pleasant. After all, the person before him was Hyuga Yukyō, and with the irritation of the unknown motive added in, there was no way his tone could be good.
"If Teacher Kushina asked you to do something like this and told you not to ask why, would you do it?"
However, hearing Chiba's less-than-pleasant words, Hyuga Yukyō refused to be outdone and snapped back just as rudely.
That single sentence successfully choked Chiba up. If it had been Kushina, he probably would have done just as Hyuga Yukyō had—handled the matter without asking for any
