The next morning.
Early in the morning.
Hizashi Hyuga [30 years old], Hyuga Iroha [13 years old], and Hyuga Tokuma [11 years old] had received their orders.
The three stood before Hyuga Mami and Hyuga Sho, like soldiers waiting to be inspected.
When they learned that they would be assigned to support the Torture Department,
the three were only slightly taken aback.
Hizashi Hyuga, however, thought it was pretty good.
His son Neji was three years old this year and growing up little by little.
He practiced the Gentle Fist diligently every day, so there was no need for Hizashi to worry.
The issue between the Main Family and the Branch Family of the Hyuga Clan had long since been resolved.
People did not fear having too little; they feared unfairness.
Watching his elder brother's Caged Bird sway around above his head every day gave him immense pleasure.
Pretty good...
Everything was pretty good.
Getting out and taking action was also excellent.
A smile occasionally hung at the corners of Hizashi Hyuga's mouth.
Although his expression was still somewhat gloomy at this moment,
in truth...
it was more like the dispirited energy of Shinno, who had seen through this damn world.
Hyuga Iroha and Hyuga Tokuma, the two young men, were also excited to have received new positions.
At last, they no longer had to watch other people's expressions and could carry out missions with their own clan members.
"I..."
After Hyuga Mami finished giving her instructions, she seemed to want to say something.
But in the end, she remained silent.
Although Hyuga Sho had pushed her into the position of clan head,
in truth...
Hyuga Mami hoped she could accomplish more and see a broader world.
Because...
she felt that she was growing farther and farther away from Hyuga
