Konohagakure.
As Hyuga Toko finished speaking, Takenaka Kaguya also smiled and nodded, "It seems that you listened to what I said to you."
"Yeah, if Lord Takenaka hadn't told the juniors so much about the Hyuga Clan Main Family and the disadvantages of family separation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made up my mind to change Hyuga Clan.
It's a pity that although I am the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, I can't just follow my own will in everything.
Being able to protect this child Hizashi from being engraved Caged Bird Cursed Seal is the best I can do." Hyuga Toko said with a helpless smile.
"Come in and sit down."
Takenaka Kaguya did not answer this, but invited Hyuga Toko father and son to come in.
After a while, Takenaka Kaguya poured a cup of tea for Hyuga Toko, and then said, "Hyuga Clan has a long history, and is one of the few Shinobi World families that has been passed down for thousands of years, so the rules formed in the family have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It's not easy to change, but you can keep this child Hizashi from being carved into Caged Bird Seal, which is already very good.
As for the rest, just take your time. As long as you are determined, I believe that Hyuga Clan will definitely become better one day in the future."
Hearing this, Hyuga Toko nodded, but felt very helpless in his heart. The matter of the Hyuga Clan Main Family and the separation of families has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. How can it be changed by the efforts of one generation.
And, to put it bluntly, although Caged Bird and Cursed Seal are hateful, as a vested interest, Hyuga Main Family is willing to give up the total Caged Bird control over other people in the branch. Are other Hyuga Main Family people willing?
Let alone anything else, let's just talk about the feeling that a Hyuga Main Family person can treat the separated family members as slaves and control life and death at any time. If he hadn't learned about the shortcomings of this system from Takenaka Kaguya, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to help but be obsessed with it.
Moreover, although Caged Bird is a restriction, it is also a protection for the Hyuga Branch Family and a protection for the pure blood of the Hyuga Clan.
Byakugan, as the very famous Kekkei Genkai pupil technique among Shinobi World, when using Byakugan, the user can see through everything in front of him and the future. In addition, there is a more terrifying ability, that is, it can see through the human body. Chakra The meridians that flows through and the Chakra points that release Chakra can clearly understand the Chakra in the opponent's body through Byakugan. Whether it is close combat or reconnaissance of the enemy, Byakugan has strategic significance.
Moreover, compared with Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, transplantation of Byakugan will not put a burden on the transplanter's body.
For example, in the original work of Hokage, Kakashi Hatake is a 50-50 match against everyone. The reason why it is used as the measurement unit of Chakra is actually because the Sharingan given to him by Uchiha Obito cannot be closed, and his Chakra is consumed at any time.
That is to say, the combat power system collapsed in the later period, and Kakashi could also use Mangekyō Sharingan. Only then did this disadvantage gradually decrease, reaching the upper level of Shinobi World's combat power.
Therefore, for the Hyuga Branch Family people who were engraved with Caged Bird, because of Caged Bird, the enemy will not specifically kill people and gouge out their eyes.
Moreover, it is unrealistic to say that Hyuga Clan can be passed down to this day without the contribution of Caged Bird and Cursed Seal.
Therefore, Caged Bird has both pros and cons. The key is whether Caged Bird Seal will bury the genius of the branch.
Getting back to the topic, Hyuga Toko nodded and said, "As the leader of the Hyuga Clan, it is my duty to promote the reform of the Hyuga Clan.
Forget it, I won't tell you these terrible things Lord Takenaka. The main reason I came here this time is to invite you to be a guest at home. The elders in the clan heard that Lord Takenaka you came to Konoha in person, so they specially invited me to come and invite you to the Hyuga Clan as a guest!"
"Hahaha, forget it as a guest or something. I came here this time just to relax. When Tenten stays in Uzushiogakure, I feel out of touch with Shinobi World.
Therefore, I accept your wishes and will not bother you." Takenaka Kaguya laughed and waved his hand to reject Hyuga Toko's invitation.
Just kidding, he doesn't want to listen to the Hyuga Clan people from the older generation flattering him in front of him. He has heard too many of these words.
On the opposite side, seeing Takenaka Kaguya refuse, Hyuga Toko was helpless. Takenaka Kaguya's status was so high that no one would refute his words. Since he was unwilling, he naturally couldn't force it.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Toko nodded and said, "Since Lord Takenaka doesn't want to, then forget it.
By the way, I heard from the people below, Lord Takenaka, you fell in love with a twelve or thirteen-year-old child in our village this morning, a child named Might Duy, and wanted to accept him as your disciple, but you were rejected by that guy Danzo.
I don't know what Lord Takenaka values about this child. If Lord Takenaka still wants to continue to accept that child as his disciple, Hyuga Clan is willing to make a contribution to facilitate this."
While speaking, Hyuga Toko's eyes glanced back at Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga beside him from time to time.
Seeing this, Takenaka Kaguya immediately realized that this guy was dishonest and was actually playing tricks in front of them.
Of course, he doesn't hate this.
"You kid, when I said you came to my place, why did you bring your two children with you? Did you think you had this idea?
Why, you heard that I am willing to accept disciples, so you also want to send these two children from your family?" Takenaka Kaguya laughed and cursed, and then directly pointed out Hyuga Toko's idea.
"Hey, you know that my little thoughts can't be hidden from you Lord Takenaka.
I received your guidance from Lord Takenaka back then, and that's why I achieved what I have achieved today. Even when I was able to become the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, I'm afraid it has this connection.
Nowadays, in terms of strength and status, I'm afraid no one in Shinobi World can compare with you Lord Takenaka.
My two unlucky children are slightly more talented than me. If they are lucky enough to get your guidance Lord Takenaka, it will surely benefit them throughout their lives.
But today when I heard that you are willing to accept a disciple, I couldn't suppress my thoughts anymore, so I brought these two children over. If you like them, I will reluctantly help you accept them!"
Hyuga Toko chuckled, a little embarrassed, and then flattered and wrote Takenaka Kaguya, expressing his inner thoughts.
Takenaka Kaguya can understand this, but the two brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga are not very good in terms of talent.
And if Hyuga Clan Byakugan, this Kekkei Genkai, fails to evolve to Tenseigan, although the lower limit is high, the upper limit is too low.
Even if Hyuga Clan is the strongest Hyuga Toko now, although he learned Rokushiki from him, which not only increased his flexibility and mobility, but also increased his attack and defense methods, he can only compete with Kage Level at a 50-50 level.
If he encounters someone like Hiruzen Sarutobi, he will probably be at a disadvantage after a while.
Unless Takenaka Kaguya is willing to use the two cultivation methods Observation Haki and Armament Haki, it may be possible to improve the overall strength of Hyuga Toko to Kage Level.
However, firstly, the training process of Observation Haki and Armament Haki is very troublesome, and secondly, it also requires talent.
Nowadays, there are not many people who know Observation Haki and Armament Haki. Apart from Takenaka Kaguya himself, there are only Mingyue Takenaka and the captains among the twelve Earthly Branch Anbu Squads. Several of them can only know Observation Haki or Armament Haki.
Moreover, this is the result of so many years of teaching by Takenaka Kaguya, which shows how difficult it is to learn these two kinds of Haki.
Thinking of this, Takenaka Kaguya shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't look down on these two children, Hiashi and Hizashi, their talents are better than yours.
However, now Hyuga Clan has the Rokushiki cultivation method that I passed on to you back then. There are Taijutsu like Rokushiki, and combined with their Byakugan, it is enough for them to grow beyond your possibilities.
Even if I personally teach them, their strength may not increase much in the future, so forget it."
Hearing this, Hyuga Toko felt a little disappointed. When he thought that Might Duy, a child with almost no ninjutsu talent, could be chosen by Takenaka Kaguya, he felt even more uncomfortable.
On the opposite side, Takenaka Kaguya peeked into his inner thoughts through Advanced Observation Haki, so without waiting for Hyuga Toko to ask, he directly explained, "As for the one named Although Might Duy's child does not have any ninjutsu talent, in terms of Taijutsu's talent, I'm afraid you Konoha may not be able to find anyone who can compete with him.
And when I saw how hard he worked, I decided on a whim to accept him as a disciple.
It's just that the little monkey Hiruzen and that kid Danzo are too thoughtful and thought I had seen something, so they refused me on the spot to accept that kid as my disciple."
"That's it."
After listening, Hyuga Toko suddenly realized Satori, and immediately thought about it for a moment. He raised his head and looked at Takenaka Kaguya and said, "Lord Takenaka, since you really think that child has Taijutsu talent, I will help you make this happen. It can be regarded as a favor for you to guide the junior back then."
On the opposite side, Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand and refused. "Forget it, there's no need. I'm a person who likes to do whatever I want, and I like everything to be casual. Anything that's too deliberate doesn't mean that.
However, that kid Might Duy is pretty good. If you are willing, you can pass on Rokushiki's cultivation methods to him."
Back then, Tobirama Senju obtained Rokushiki's cultivation method from Takenaka Kaguya. It did not spread it directly to a large area, but adopted elite education.
In other words, except for the fact that Hyuga Clan obtained Rokushiki's cultivation method from Takenaka Kaguya, even in a big family like Uchiha Clan, it is impossible for everyone to learn Rokushiki.
As for Tobirama Senju's reign, although many civilians Ninja were promoted, after all, practicing Rokushiki requires a lot of resources. Therefore, ordinary civilians Ninja have only heard of Daimyo from Rokushiki, but have never seen it.
Might Duy was born as a commoner, and when he was Ninja Academy, he was almost at the level of a crane. If Takenaka Kaguya hadn't suddenly had a sudden whim today and wanted to take him as a disciple, it is impossible for Might Duy to come into Konoha High Command's sight.
Therefore, it is impossible for Might Duy to have the cultivation method of Rokushiki.
"Okay, Lord Takenaka don't worry, since he is the person you like, I will definitely take more care of him.
Cultivation methods that are inferior to Rokushiki can be provided to him, and even some precious medicinal materials that he needs to practice Rokushiki are all covered by this junior." Hyuga Toko agreed immediately, and even asked for more things.
"Haha, it's up to you. Anyway, you Hyuga Clan have a profound background, so this little thing is nothing.
If that child can succeed in his studies in the future, I think he can also add a strong ally to you Hyuga Clan." Takenaka Kaguya chuckled, waved his hands and said nonchalantly.
Whether Hyuga Toko will give Might Duy resources, all this has nothing to do with him. Although Might Duy who has practiced Formation of the Eight Inner Gates will be full of firepower in the future, even the strong Kage Level will need to stay away, but for Takenaka Kaguya, in fact, it is just like that, and there is nothing worthy of too much attention.
Even if it is an exaggeration, even if Might Duy can achieve the same level as his son Might Guy, and almost kicked out the finale, but that kind of strength is not worthy of Takenaka Kaguya's too much attention.
In terms of attack power, it also needs to be durable. Durability is not enough, you also need to be able to hit.
Facing him who has Advanced Observation Haki and can already predict the next few seconds in advance, even if he can't stop that kind of attack, he only needs to avoid it in advance.
What's more, it is still unknown whether Formation of the Eight Inner Gates's Gate of Death can break through his current defense.
Back then, Takenaka Kaguya was just starting out, and it resisted the attack of Madara Uchiha Susanoo. Although it was not a complete body, its power was already very strong.
"Haha, Lord Takenaka, since you are optimistic about that kid, it means that he will definitely be promising in the future, so I will befriend him in advance." Hyuga Toko saw that Takenaka Kaguya didn't care, but still laughed.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Hyuga Toko took his two brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga to say goodbye and left. However, before leaving, he left behind a gift that Hyuga Clan had specially prepared in advance.
After a while, Mingyue Takenaka came over, sat next to Takenaka Kaguya, and said with a smile, "Father, Hyuga Clan really values you too much. I took a quick look just now and found that the value of the things they left behind is about 100 million taels. You are really generous!"
After finishing speaking, Takenaka Kaguya took a sip of tea, then smiled casually, "Hyuga Clan is rich, so the expensive gifts are nothing.
However, you have been listening for so long just now. What do you think about the current shortcomings of the Hyuga Clan that I discussed with him, and how do you think they should be solved if it were you?"
Opposite me, Mingyue Takenaka nodded and was silent for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "If it were me, this wouldn't be too difficult. Since we can't solve the problem, we can just solve the problem's creator. Will that be enough soon?"
"Hahaha, she is simple and crude enough. She is worthy of being my Takenaka Kaguya daughter, Haki!"
