After all, the family currently had no stable, ongoing source of income at all.
"Father, what are we doing?"
Hinata looked at how lively the household was and had no idea what was happening.
Hiashi picked her up. "We're going to visit an important person later. You'll be coming with us too. Be sure to mind your manners, understand?"
Hinata's little eyes darted around after hearing this, then she nodded. "I understand. I'll be good, Father. Don't worry."
Hiashi was very reassured when it came to his daughter.
"Good. Then Father believes in Hinata. Hurry back and have your mother dress you up nicely."
"Okay! I'm going right now! Father, wait for me!"
After Hinata left, Hiashi put away the Sealing Scroll.
"Do not tell anyone about this. We'll also be heading to the Windcloud Clan in secret, doing our best not to be discovered."
The Elders all nodded. "Clan Head, we understand."
With that, Hiashi was relieved.
After the Elders had all left, Hizashi brought Neji to Hiashi's courtyard.
This operation involved only the two brothers and their children.
There was no need for many people to pledge allegiance to Lord Torikaze.
Hiashi, the family's administrator, and Hizashi, the chief steward, were enough.
"Big Brother, how are we going? Should we disguise ourselves?"
Hiashi nodded. "We definitely need disguises. Besides, we can't travel directly to the Cloud Clan Grounds by the main road."
Hizashi naturally understood. He had already planned the route in advance, and the family had used a few tricks along the way to ensure there would not be too many people there.
Once they disguised themselves, they would basically go unnoticed.
Hiashi formed hand seals, and with a poof, a cloud of white smoke appeared.
When the smoke dispersed, he had completely changed into another person.
