The Best Way to Resolve Conflict

When the Third Hokage heard that, his brows furrowed. Why did he feel as if Mitokado Homura and the others did not care that much about the safety of the Hyūga Main Family?

Utatane Koharu, standing to the side, saw what the Third Hokage was thinking and cleared her throat. "Ahem, Hiruzen, I think that even if something happened to one member of the Hyūga Main Family, it would not affect the overall battle situation.

If anything, sacrificing one or two members of the main family would be more beneficial to unity between the Hyūga Main Family and the Branch House, and could ease the conflicts within the Hyūga Clan."

"Hiruzen, Koharu's words may not sound pleasant, but this is the objective truth. Judging by the current situation, the death of one Hyūga Main Family member would make it easier for us to control the situation.

The Hyūga Main Family is probably thinking the same thing, which is why the people they send to the battlefield are all trash with mediocre talent and strength. If trash like that dies, then so be it. It won't have any effect on the main family, and may instead reduce some of the Branch House's dissatisfaction toward the main family," Mitokado Homura added.

"Hiruzen, war is cruel, and in the Hyūga Clan, the ones dying on the battlefield are all Branch House members. Not a single person from the main family has had an accident.

Every time a Branch House member dies, the Branch House's hatred toward the main family grows by another degree. That hatred needs an outlet. At a time like this, the death of a main family member is the most suitable thing possible. This is the best way to reconcile the conflict between the two sides," Danzo said.

"But what about the Byakugan? The Kirigakure Shinobi's goal is the Hyūga Clan's Kekkei Genkai!" the Third Hokage asked.

"Didn't Koharu just say it? When the time comes, we can place this member of the Hyūga Main Family somewhere closer to the center of the camp and have several reconnaissance squads with outstanding sensory abilities take turns protecting him. The moment they discover anything wrong, they can immediately call for help.

Whether we can protect the member of the Hyūga Main Family or not isn't important. The key is to keep the Byakugan bloodline from leaking out," Danzo replied.

After listening to Danzo, the Third Hokage fell silent for a moment before letting out a long sigh. Clearly, he had tacitly approved this plan.

Ever since the Third Hokage came to the Ninja Academy, the atmosphere there had grown increasingly tense, especially in the fourth year.

Now, all of the fourth-year courses had been changed into war-related classes. The frequency of practical combat lessons was also getting higher and higher, and Class 1 and Class 2 were often mixed together for sparring.

Just like that, more than half a month passed. There was only one week left until graduation.

Over this half month or so, Uchiha Yuan obtained a total of 36 Stat Points through the Text Game.

Of those, there were 8 days when he only obtained 1 point, 9 days when he obtained 2 points, and 2 days when he obtained 5 points.

And on the 2 days when he obtained 5 Stat Points, there were also some extra gains.

The Text Games on those 2 days were in the worlds of Pirate King and Tom and Jerry.

In the world of Pirate King, Uchiha Yuan did not become a pirate this time, but joined the navy instead.

Uchiha Yuan struggled his way through the navy for more than a decade and finally managed to become a major in a Naval Branch. He also learned Finger Pistol from the Six Powers.

Unfortunately, not long after he learned Finger Pistol, he ran into Kid, one of the Supernovas, and was directly beaten into GG.

And the Finger Pistol skill was the reward from that time.

In the world of Tom and Jerry, Uchiha Yuan turned into a mouse and successfully teased Tom together with Jerry. Afterward, he and Jerry parted ways and each set off alone on the road to other cities.

This was the only Text Game so far in which Uchiha Yuan had lived to the end of his natural lifespan.

After this Text Game ended, Uchiha Yuan obtained 5 Stat Points, as well as a bottle of Tom's Special Strength-Boosting Milk.

After drinking this bottle of milk, strength, speed, Chakra Amount, and Physique would all double for half an hour, and there were no major side effects. It was just that after the effect ended, there would be some weakness, requiring 24 hours of bed rest.

This was a good thing that could save his life, so Uchiha Yuan naturally stored it away carefully.

Uchiha Yuan had also learned Finger Pistol, but comparatively speaking, Finger Pistol was not that useful. After all, it was only the most ordinary Finger Pistol. If it had been the long-range Finger Pistol used by CP0 in the world of Pirate King, it would probably have been much more useful.

And today, Uchiha Yuan still had one chance to spin the Roulette and enter the Text Game.

He returned home, lay straight down on the bed, and spun the Roulette.

"You have logged into Tokyo Ghoul."

"Wow! This time I'm actually a ghoul!" Uchiha Yuan instantly grew excited.

The anime Tokyo Ghoul had happened to appear right during Uchiha Yuan's most chūnibyō period.

So much so that, right up until before he transmigrated, Uchiha Yuan still had the habit of cracking his fingers with one hand.

"You were born in Ward 1, Chiyoda Ward. This is a gathering place for ghouls, and also where the headquarters of the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau is located."

"Because ghouls have appeared more and more frequently recently, your parents were worried that you might encounter ghouls, so your entire family moved to the relatively stable Ward 20."

"You grew up safe and happy in Ward 20."

"You entered high school."

"You fell in love with one of your high school classmates. She had long, glossy black hair, excellent athletic ability, and loved to smile. She was the class beauty."

"At first, you thought you had no chance with such a beautiful and outstanding girl."

"But one day, when you were secretly looking at her, you discovered that she was secretly looking at you too. Your gazes met in midair, and then you both turned your heads away at the same time."

"Your heart was beating very fast. You felt that you had fallen in love."

"The next day, you confessed to her, and she agreed."

"Your relationship developed very quickly."

"On the weekend, you went to a hotel together."

"With an uneasy heart, you took a shower."

"When you came out of the bathroom, she was already sitting on the bed in sexy sleepwear."

"You pounced on her."

"You went through a round of growth. Afterward, she asked if you wanted something more exciting, and you said you did."

"When she heard that, a smile appeared on her face, and a blood-red Kagune behind her directly pierced through your heart."

"Before your consciousness faded, you saw her tears and heard her say she really did like you, that she had given you her first time. After saying that, she opened her mouth wide and bit through your throat."

"Game over!"

"Obtained Stat Point x2, Ghoul Girl's Love."

"Friendly tip: This is your first time gaining love in the world of Text Game. Obtain the love of 10 different people, and you will receive a surprise."

As the words disappeared, Uchiha Yuan opened his eyes.

In fact, from the moment Text Game developed to the point where he and that female classmate fell for each other, Uchiha Yuan had already guessed how things would turn out.

With this kind of development, there was no way that female classmate wasn't a ghoul!

What Uchiha Yuan hadn't expected was that this female classmate seemed to genuinely like him.

She liked him to the point of wanting to kill him with her own hands and eat him.

The tears the female classmate shed at the end, the words she said, and the final tip given by Text Game were the best proof.

However, Uchiha Yuan found this kind of love a little hard to accept. He still valued his life very much.

Thanks to Xiao Lou 1991 for the ten-thousand-coin reward. Thank you, boss.
