"That's right!" Yan slapped his forehead, as if he just remembered something, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "I'm going to take Naruto out!"
"Go out?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, "Are you leaving Konoha?"
Yan shook his head, "No, take Naruto to the Hyuga Clan."
"You also know what happened recently. Hyuga Clan has been unwilling to give up and has to go over and hammer it."
"Then bring Naruto..."
Halfway through the words, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly figured it out and immediately waved his hand.
"Okay, don't come back too late!"
Yan smiled and nodded, then squatted down and touched Naruto's head and asked.
"How about I take you out to play?"
Naruto's eyes flashed with excitement, but he still asked Sarutobi Hiruzen with his eyes.
After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen nodding, he jumped and cheered.
"Okay, if you stay here all the time and don't let me out, I'll be bored to death!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled helplessly upon seeing this.
Naruto has Nine-Tails sealed in his body, and since he is still young, he will naturally not go out if he can to avoid any accidents.
But now that Yan is with him, he is naturally not worried.
It was only half a Nine-Tails. He believed that Yan could handle it.
"Remember to come back for dinner tonight!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen explained, then returned to the stone bench and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yan took Naruto out of Sarutobi Clan Compound, and the golden sunshine enveloped them like a veil.
The streets are bustling with activity, with the shouts of vendors and the chatter and laughter of pedestrians intertwined together, creating a picture full of life.
The breeze blows gently, bringing a fresh smell, which is the unique smell of Konoha, mixed with the fragrance of grass and the mellowness of earth.
They walked along a winding path towards Hyuga Clan Compound. The flowers on the roadside were swaying gently in the breeze, as if waving to them.
Naruto looked around excitedly, full of curiosity about everything around him.
His eyes were sparkling, as if they contained endless vitality and desire for exploration.
Yan Ze looked calm and looked ahead firmly, but in his heart he was thinking about the upcoming meeting.
As they moved forward, Hyuga Clan Compound gradually appeared in front of them.
The simple and solemn building, with its white walls emitting a soft light under the sunlight, is like a peaceful fortress.
Tall trees surround the clan land, and their lush branches and leaves are intertwined, adding a sense of tranquility and mystery to the place.
The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, as if telling the long history of the Hyuga Clan.
Yan and Naruto came to the gate of Hyuga Clan Compound. When the guarding ninja saw Yan, he immediately saluted respectfully, his eyes full of awe and admiration.
After all, Yan is the Hokage of Konoha and is their nominal leader.
Yan nodded slightly and walked into the tribe with Naruto.
That steady pace seems to carry an invisible power, making people involuntarily respect him.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Hyuga Main House hall was tense and depressing.
Several elders sat together, their faces so gloomy that they seemed to drip with water, and their eyes flashed with anger and dissatisfaction, as if they might burst out at any time.
One of the elders slammed the table angrily, and the dull sound echoed in the hall, like thunder.
"Hizashi Hyuga dared to betray the family and leave with some of the branch ninjas. This is simply unforgivable! We must punish him severely to serve as a warning to others!"
The elder's voice was hoarse and sharp, full of anger and majesty.
The other elders nodded in agreement, their faces filled with anger.
A gray-haired elder stroked his beard and said in a heavy tone.
"Hizashi's behavior has seriously damaged the dignity and honor of the family. We cannot sit idly by and watch. Decisive measures must be taken to let him know the consequences of betraying the family."
Another elder also echoed, "Yes, we should send out ninjas to capture Hizashi and those traitors who separated the family and punish them severely. Otherwise, the family's rules will be lost."
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense, as if a storm was coming.
The anger of the elders was like a raging ocean wave, constantly attacking their reason.
Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting in the main seat, had a bitter look on his face.
Seeing that their talk became more and more outrageous, some even suggested killing Hizashi Hyuga directly. At worst, the Hokage would be blamed and he would take the blame.
At this moment, a ninja hurried over and reported in a panic.
"Lord Hokage is visiting!"
When the elders heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
Everyone is happy, but they still dare not offend Uchiha Yan at will.
Just look at the fate of Kumogakure and the subsequent transformation and changes of Konoha and you will know that the other party is not someone to be trifled with.
If he comes to visit at this time, he is not a kind person!
A relatively calm elder frowned and said.
"The Hokage's visit at this time must be about Hizashi. You all should be careful what you say, don't let him take advantage of it!"
The other elders nodded one after another, and his expression became more solemn.
In another courtyard, under Yan's deliberate guidance, Naruto and Hinata met 'accidentally'.
Hinata was currently standing under the tree practicing, punching and kicking Hyuga Clan's family heirloom Nintaijutsu.
Although his movements appear immature, he possesses a different kind of perseverance.
When Naruto saw Hinata, a smile as bright as the sun suddenly appeared on his face.
He scratched his head, his fluffy blond hair swaying slightly in the sun, looking a little playful and cute.
"Hinata, what are you doing here?"
When Hinata heard Naruto's voice, a blush suddenly appeared on his face, and he said softly, "I am practicing."
Naruto trotted all the way to Hinata and said with a silly smile, "Hey, let's go play together."
Hinata glanced hesitantly at the back room where Hyuga Hiashi was. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he nodded lightly.
"Okay, but only for a while!" There was a hint of shyness and hesitation in his voice, and his eyes were full of tenderness and expectation.
At the same time, Yan was brought to Hyuga Main House's living room.
Hyuga Hiashi has been waiting here for a long time, with a complicated expression on his face.
Seeing Yan come in, he stood up and saluted respectfully, with a look of awe for the Hokage but also a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
There is nothing wrong with that attitude.
Yan nodded slightly and sat down on the seat next to him.
Then he looked at Hyuga Hiashi calmly and said nothing.
Those steady eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making Hyuga Hiashi feel even more uneasy.
Hyuga Hiashi was silent for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Lord Hokage, I wonder why you are here this time?"
Yan said calmly, "Hiashi, I think you should know why I came. Do you have anything to say about Hizashi Hyuga?"
Hyuga Hiashi lowered his head and sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that Uchiha Yan's coming this time must be about Hizashi Hyuga's affairs.
"Hizashi's behavior is indeed a bit extreme, but he is my brother after all, and I don't want to see the family split."
There was a hint of helplessness in Hyuga Hiashi's voice, knowing that the conflicts within the family had reached an irreconcilable level.
Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Hizashi's decision is his own choice, and I respect his choice."
"However, the internal problems of the Hyuga Clan must be properly resolved and cannot affect the stability of Konoha."
Hyuga Hiashi raised his head and looked at Yan, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"Lord Hokage, I understand what you mean. However, Hizashi's behavior has seriously violated the family rules, and we cannot sit idly by."
Hyuga Hiashi's tone was firm, believing that the family's rules must be maintained.
Hyuga Clan can be passed down stably for nearly a thousand years because of this!
But Yan shook his head slightly, "Rules are dead, but people are alive."
"Originally there are some things I shouldn't say, but Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird Seal technique has been around for too long and has brought too much pain and constraints to the family separation."
"This conflict started because of this and even affected the stability of Konoha. Now it is time to make changes."
"..."
Hyuga Hiashi was silent. He had thought about changing before and wanted to prove that Main Family regarded the separated family as his family.
Otherwise, Main Family would not have been sent to the battlefield during Third Shinobi World War. As a result, Byakugan was taken away by Kirigakure. This plan was considered a failure.
The behavior of those Main Family elders became more extreme as a result.
Until now, it has never been so easy to abolish Caged Bird Seal!
After a long time, Hyuga Hiashi said respectfully, "Lord Hokage, I need time to think about it."
Yan looked at Hyuga Hiashi and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll give you time. But you have to remember that the stability of Konoha is the most important."
"If the internal problems of the Hyuga Clan cannot be properly resolved, then I will have to take measures."
At this moment, the wanton and hilarious laughter of Naruto and Hinata came from outside.
Hyuga Hiashi's face changed slightly, and he instantly understood that Yan had brought Naruto here on purpose.
Hinata, as a father, knows what he is thinking in his heart.
Yan's intention is obvious. He wants Hyuga Hiashi to know that Hinata likes Naruto. If Konoha enters the relationship based on the feelings of Naruto and Hinata, Hyuga Clan's situation may be even more difficult.
At that time, it will not only be divided into two factions: Main Family and Separation.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi's voice softened.
"Lord Hokage, I understand what you mean. I will try my best to solve the problems within the family and will not let it affect the stability of Konoha."
Yan looked at Hyuga Hiashi and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I hope you can keep your word. Hyuga Clan is one of the important families of Konoha. I don't want to see conflicts within the family affect the development of Konoha."
After saying that, Yan stood up and prepared to leave.
Hyuga Hiashi quickly got up to see him off.
When they walked to the yard, they saw Naruto and Hinata playing happily.
Naruto had a bright smile on his face, while Hinata followed Naruto with a red face.
"Naruto, let's go!"
Yan smiled slightly, and then left Hyuga Clan Compound with Naruto reluctantly.
