The Hokage's office.
" Shikaku, today is your first day as an intern in the Hokage's office."
"I won't assign you too much work. Just work alongside your seniors for now. Make sure the work is done meticulously, raise the bar, find the right approach, understand the underlying logic, and coordinate with various departments to create a unified and effective workflow."
"Oh, by the way, we need to align our work schedule with that of regular employees as soon as possible, and strive to become permanent staff quickly!"
Uchiha Nan looked at Nara Shikaku, who had come to report to his office, and spoke slowly.
This is a brand new, unopened Nara Luyuan Plus edition.
The new machine has arrived.
Be gentle at first.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Nara Shikaku stood ramrod straight.
The Lord Hokage is trying to cultivate me; I must perform well!
only.
Why is it that I can't understand some of what the Lord Hokage says?
Never mind.
I'll ask the seniors when the time comes!
Nara Shikaku was sent away
Uchiha Nan was leisurely sitting in his chair, slacking off.
Soon there was a knock on the Hokage's office door.
A ninja from the Hyuga Clan Head Family — Hyuga Yi —walked in.
" Lord Hokage, those people from the Main Family have all gone mad!"
"They intend to imprison the Clan Head chief today."
"Tomorrow, they Lord Hokage is plotting to seize the Hyuga Clan's bloodline and covet the Byakugan Hyuga Clan's Byakugan to organize the entire Hyuga Clan and incite the villagers of Konoha to surround the Hokage Building."
Uchiha Nan everything that the stubborn faction of the Hyuga Clan Head Family Hyuga Yi.
After listening to Hyuga Yi's explanation, Uchiha Nan frowned.
Things still took the worst possible turn.
Nearly half of the Hyuga Clan Head Family members are disloyal, while the other half remain neutral and wavering.
As long as those diehards raise their arms and stir up their emotions.
"For the Hyuga Clan. For the honor of the family, the ancestral laws must not be changed."
Those wavering main Main Family will probably get involved too.
The Lord Hokage's kindness ultimately couldn't compare to the allure of the Caged Bird.
Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly, but wasn't too flustered.
The Hyuga Clan is like a caged bird to Konoha; they cannot escape Konoha's grasp.
Want to fight
Ultimately, it comes down to force.
Uchiha Nan could flip the table at any time if he was unhappy.
Now I'm discussing it with the Hyuga Clan.
Firstly, we want to avoid bloodshed as much as possible and minimize the impact of this incident.
Secondly, it was also to repay the Hyuga Clan for their timely help in the past.
But now
Damn it, they really don't know what's good for them!
Those stubborn Hyuga Clan Head Family members actually want to incite the Hyuga Branch Family to surround the Hokage Building and force me to back down?
Innocent!
You guys willingly stuck your heads out to be chopped off.
Then don't blame me for being ruthless and going on a killing spree!
Uchiha Nan's face darkened, and Hyuga Takeshi, standing Hyuga Yi the side, observed Uchiha Nan's expression, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
But in the blink of an eye.
Uchiha Nan regained his composure and gave Hyuga Yi a friendly smile.
He is loyal!
"Yi, you've done a great job."
"You are a ninja loyal to the Hokage and loyal to Konoha."
"What a pity."
"There are always some people who are stubbornly persistent, actually thinking that storming the Hokage Building will force me to back down?"
"Then let them come. It'll be a good opportunity for the entire Konoha to see who dares to defy me, who dares to defy the entire Konoha's ninjas."
What will be the outcome?!
Uchiha Nan sighed as he spoke slowly.
"Then what should the Lord Hokage and the Clan Head leader do?"
"Takuma."
Let him rest for a day.
"After tomorrow, he won't be caught in the middle anymore."
Hyuga Takuma is still too soft-hearted.
Uchiha Nan no longer intends to make things difficult for Hyuga Takuma.
Since he's unwilling to be ruthless towards his own people, then let it go.
This is only human nature.
Those stubborn members of the Hyuga Clan Head Family were all family members with Hyuga Takuma had lived since childhood, and comrades-in-arms who fought side by side.
Asking him to kill half of the Hyuga Clan Head Family in one go is indeed asking too much of him.
Not everyone can be like Itachi Uchiha, that weasel, who can kill his own clansmen with whom he lives every day without any guilt.
Let me be the villain.
In a short time
Uchiha Nan suddenly Danzo of nostalgia for Danzo.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Hyuga Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed hard. From Uchiha Nan's calm words, he could already see the future of the Main Family.
" Lord Hokage, what are your plans for dealing with my stubborn clansmen tomorrow?"
"I will only punish the ringleaders. As for those stubborn and unyielding individuals, if they heed Hokage teachings and are willing to set aside their prejudices, I can forgive and forget them."
Uchiha Nan looked at Hyuga Yi and understood Hyuga Yi concerns.
So she offered him some words of comfort.
However, Hyuga Yi's worries remained undiminished.
There are quite a few of those stubborn and inflexible people.
Alas, Caged Bird.
Turning the Hyuga Branch Family members into caged birds—didn't that also trap the Main Family?
The situation is now so clear...
His own Main Family members were still acting like moths to a flame, stubbornly resisting the Lord Hokage.
Subsequently
Uchiha Nan's office Hyuga Yi trepidation.
Uchiha Nan pressed the emergency summon button on the Hokage's desk.
It only took a few seconds.
A staff member from the Hokage's office appeared in Uchiha Nan's office.
" Lord Hokage, is there anything you need?"
"Call Nara Luyuan, Uchiha Tomita, and Toma Senju over here."
soon
Uchiha Nan's three Hokage advisors then arrived at the Hokage's office.
The three exchanged glances.
Uchiha Nan suddenly summoned all three of them at once.
Clearly, something big is about to happen in Konoha.
And it concerns the Hyuga Clan.
Because Hyuga Takuma didn't come.
"Gentlemen."
"Tomorrow Hyuga Clan Head Family is planning to gather members of the Hyuga Clan to cause trouble and attempt to surround the Hokage Building. They are no longer ordinary Hyuga clan members!"
As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking...
The three men's pupils dilated instantly, their expressions a mixture of fear and dread.
Have the Hyuga Clan gone mad?
Are we living too comfortably and have to create some unhappiness for ourselves?
" Lord Hokage, what on earth has happened?!"
Nara Luyuan didn't understand!
The Lord Hokage has only been back for a few days!
They're stirring things up again!
Isn't stirring up trouble in the Ninja world enough?
" Lu Yuan, calm down."
Uchiha Nan gestured to Nara Luyuan, Toma Senju, and Uchiha Tomita to sit down first.
Subsequently
Uchiha Nan recounted the story of the fusion of his bloodline limit ninja clan.
This was specifically said to the Nara Luyuan.
Toma Senju Uchiha Tomita already knew about the plan, and their initial tension quickly subsided.
Oh~
Is the Clan Head leader/son-in-law finally going to make a move against the Hyuga Clan?
It's not surprising, that's why it's not surprising.
If the Clan Head leader/son-in-law's bloodline ninja clan fusion plan continues, it will inevitably lead to a direct conflict with the Hyuga Clan sooner or later.
Caged Bird.
No wonder the Hyuga Clan Head Family is so crazy.
Nara Luyuan listened to the whole story in a daze.
It was the Lord Hokage who started it all!
The Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird must be abolished.
The Hyuga Clan Head Family's actions are somewhat understandable.
but
Why are you two acting so calm?
Nara Luyuan noticed the expressions on Senju Momoma's and Uchiha Tomita's Toma Senju.
The two people had calm, indifferent expressions.
Oh~
Nara Luyuan immediately understood!
I was the last one to find out.
I understand now.
" Lord Hokage, the Hyuga Clan Head Family is challenging the authority of the Hokage Building! We must strike hard!"
"If they dare to incite the Hyuga Clan to surround the Hokage Building tomorrow, they'll dare to stage a coup the day after!"
Nara Luyuan stated his position, rattling off several long sentences.
Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction.
What loyalty!
then
Uchiha Nan shifted his gaze to Toma Senju and Uchiha Tomita.
Me too!
Me too!
"Toma Senju, "Uchiha Tomita followed up with.
They are loyal too!
"Very good, it seems we are on the same page."
Uchiha Nan nodded and said.
Now that we've reached a consensus, the next step is to solve the problem.
The problem of the Hyuga Clan Head Family is easily solved.
They are stubborn and unyielding.
Blood must be drawn to shut these people up.
"Then I will proceed with the following plan."
" Tomita, tomorrow the Konoha Police Force members will be responsible for maintaining order at the scene. Remember to have all the police officers from the Inuzuka Clan bring their police dogs to maintain order."
"All members of the Anbu service, bring your sticks! Anyone from the Main Family who participates in tomorrow's protest, get out there and beat them with those sticks."
"Any member of the Main Family who dares to resist will be executed on the spot."
Uchiha Nan spoke with a murderous intent.
This is a struggle involving interests; people are bound to die.
"Yes, Clan Head!"
"Ahem, when I'm working, I refer to plants!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
"The next step is to deal with the large number of the Hyuga Branch Family members."
"And thereafter."
" Konoha's propaganda regarding the Hyuga Clan's collective protest tomorrow."
Uchiha Nan's expression turned serious.
Overall
The Hyuga Branch Family has long suffered from the Caged Bird" system (a system where members are trapped in a cage).
Winning hearts and minds is the best strategy!
Dealing with the Hyuga Branch Family
All we need to do is awaken their long-hidden yearning for freedom.
The Hyuga Branch Family will likely be overjoyed to accept the kindness of Konoha's father and directly turn against the Hyuga Clan Head Family.
Tomorrow, they'll be lucky if they don't take advantage of the crowd and secretly grab sticks to slash at the members of the Hyuga Clan Head Family.
Uchiha Nan valued most was the subsequent public relations campaign, as this involved her reputation as a pure and innocent Uchiha Nan.
and
The other ninja clans, large and small, in Konoha will probably have different ideas as well.
The slogan promoted by the Hyuga Clan Head Family was indeed correct.
Uchiha Nan coveted the Hyuga Clan's bloodline and Hyuga Clan Byakugan.
Today, the Hokage dared to use his power to force the Hyuga Clan to kneel.
Will Konoha be forced to Konoha over its secret family techniques tomorrow?
The Lord Hokage has a precedent to learn from.
so.
Our own public relations and propaganda efforts must keep up!
At this moment, the Hyuga Clan Compound has been placed under martial law.
Hyuga Takuma sat in a chair in his study, facing his Hyuga Zuye, with a row of the Hyuga Clan Head Family members standing beside his desk.
I've been imprisoned!
What exactly do you want?
"Stop now, and I can pretend none of this ever happened."
Hyuga Takuma in a state of utter confusion.
He treated his clansmen as family, but they treated him like an idiot.
They're plotting a rebellion!
"Takuma, you're too weak!"
" The Caged Bird is the foundation of our Hyuga Clan. Our ancestral laws must never be changed. Even Hokage Uchiha Nan has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of our Hyuga Clan."
You should take a good rest for now.
Hyuga Zuye looked at Hyuga Takuma and spoke slowly.
He would absolutely not allow anyone to damage the Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird.
"Grandpa, stop! You can't defeat the Lord Hokage!"
"Besides, even if our Hyuga Clan loses the Caged Bird, the Hyuga Clan will not perish."
"Enough! Uchiha Nan is only after his own selfish desires, plotting to seize the bloodline of my Hyuga Clan and the Byakugan of my Hyuga Clan."
"The 'Caged Bird' Caged Bird left by our ancestors has stood the test of time. While it may cause some injustice to some family members, there are always gains to be made through sacrifice!"
" The Hyuga Clan will continue to prosper because of the Caged Bird system."
" Uchiha Nan, he's just a heartless bastard who sells his father's land without a care in the world!"
Hyuga Zuye, enraged, harshly rebuked Uchiha Nan.
"Tell me... what are you planning to do?"
Hyuga Takuma looked worried.
The two have argued about these things many times.
He understands the principles.
but
The Lord Hokage won't listen to your reasoning.
"Don't worry, Takuma."
"I won't push the Hyuga Clan into a fire pit."
"Tomorrow I will lead the entire Hyuga Clan in a protest, surrounding the Hokage Building to put pressure on Uchiha Nan and show him the Hyuga Clan's resolve!"
" Lord Hokage, you want to seize the bloodline of my Hyuga Clan, and you want my Hyuga Clan's Byakugan? That won't be so easy!"
"All the major and minor ninja clans in Konoha are watching. Our Hyuga Clan's Kekkei Genkai is far more valuable than their secret techniques. I refuse to believe they'll just stand by and watch Uchiha Nan act recklessly against the Hyuga Clan!"
Hyuga Zuye told Hyuga Takuma about his plan.
What if the Lord Hokage really goes on a killing spree?
"You will bring ruin to the Hyuga Clan Head Family!"
Hyuga Takuma understood Hyuga Zuye's intention.
But the Lord Hokage's surname isn't Senju.
His surname Uchiha.
"Hmph, then let Uchiha Nan do it!"
"We, the Hyuga Clan Head Family, are not spineless!"
Hyuga Zuye no longer wanted to waste any more Hyuga Takuma.
He simply couldn't believe that Uchiha Nan would actually dare to kill the Hyuga Clan Head Family main branch in public.
Unless he's gone mad!
"Alright, Takuma, my mind is made up. I'll take my anger out on you today."
After finishing Hyuga Zuye winked at the Hyuga Clan Head Family members who were standing in a row.
"Stand at attention and salute the Clan Head chief!"
"Loyalty!!"
The Hyuga Clan Head Family, standing in a row, shouted in unison.
