I, Hizashi Hyuga, Never Intended to Leave Alive!

Merit?

The elders' eyes widened, and they all glared angrily.

What merit does Hizashi Hyuga deserve?

but.

Hyuga Satoshi, who had been sent flying by a single blow, was now lying on the ground in a sorry state, just waiting for a few members of the Branch House family to come in and drag him out.

What else do they dare to say?

They all fell silent, trembling with fear.

An old man stood up.

He was the eldest elder of the Hyuga Clan's Main House, holding a higher position than Hyuga Kisai, and his name was Hyuga Koukaku.

Hyuga Koukaku had been sitting there silently until now, when he finally couldn't help but stand up.

He had no choice but to step forward.

Everyone knows that behind Hizashi Hyuga is actually Hyuga Hiashi. To put it bluntly, Hizashi Hyuga is just recklessly charging forward for his brother's and his own interests.

If he hadn't stepped forward, the future of the Main House might not be what it is now.

"He's trying to uproot our Hyuga Clan! If this continues, the Main House will cease to be the Main House, and the Branch House will cease to be the Branch House. The excellent system left by our ancestors that could last for hundreds of years will be destroyed!"

"So you still think this is a good thing?"

"Hyuga Kisai, are you going to just stand by and watch our Hyuga Clan be driven to ruin?!"

An old man stood up, his face filled with anger, and spoke in a passionate and impassioned tone.

Hizashi Hyuga glanced at him, then pointed to the notebook and said, "This also contains records and accusations of the elder family of Kōkaku bullying the Branch House family members. Your child even almost killed a Branch House family child..."

Hizashi Hyuga shouted a question.

There's no turning back for him.

They either die on the way to the front, leaving behind a glorious name for dying for the Branch House, thus inspiring the rebellious will within the Branch House's members.

Alternatively, you can continue down this path until you succeed!

There is no turning back, only death!

He looked at Hyuga Kisai: "Furthermore, Elder Kisai has been in charge of teaching the family's Taijutsu and secret arts for many years, and has taught many children to become successful. Elder Sachikaku, what have you done for the family? What positive things have you all done for the family?"

"You! Ignorant brat, how could you possibly know the contributions I have made to the family!"

Hyuga Koukaku slammed his cane on the ground with a "thud".

The other elders immediately protested.

They cannot back down.

One step back...

It's a bottomless abyss!

Hyuga Hiashi glanced thoughtfully at his younger brother, then remained calm and composed. Only when the noise echoed throughout the hall did he gently tap the table, "What's all the commotion?"

He said calmly, "Who has made contributions and who hasn't is obvious to everyone; it's not about who shouts the loudest. But one thing everyone agrees on is that Elder Kisai, you have devoted yourself to the family all these years, and everyone knows that."

"I would like to thank you, Master!"

Hyuga Kisai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hyuga Hiashi meant that as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he'll basically be fine.

He certainly wouldn't do something foolish.

In the past two years, the Hiashi brothers' ability and teamwork have become evident, and these old guys are no match for them when it comes to using their brains.

In terms of ability, both Hiashi and Hizashi are young talents.

The two of them working together would be more than enough to defeat those whose abilities are declining. Moreover, given the Hiashi brothers' policies, if a civil war were to break out, those who Branch House would definitely side with them.

"Then let Elder Kisai speak. Do you think there are any problems with the current Main House?"

Hyuga Hiashi turned his head towards him.

Hyuga Kisai took a deep breath, stood up, and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Hyuga Koukaku said sternly, "Kisai, have you thought this through? This matter is not just about personal interests; it concerns the continuation and survival of the family!"

He looked at Hyuga Hiashi, bowed, and then said, "I do have my own selfish motives, but I am thinking more about the clan. The Main House Main House has its own significance, and abolishing it would be greatly detrimental to the clan!"

"Elder Xingjue, please don't rush. Let Kisai explain his thoughts."

Hiashi waved his hand dismissively.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, their attitude spoke volumes.

Hyuga Koukaku wanted to say more, but a cold glance from him made him stop talking instantly, and he sat down sullenly.

Hizashi Hyuga sneered inwardly.

He came with his head in his hands.

He knows his brother too well.

If the situation turns against them, Hyuga Hiashi will not hesitate to sacrifice him in exchange for the clan's peace and stability.

At that time, the source of all the chaos will be the ambitious struggle created by Hizashi Hyuga, who is not satisfied with his status Branch House.

If we cannot successfully forge a path, we will most likely die here today.

Do the elders have this awareness?

Obviously--

No.

At least, with Hyuga Satoshi leading the way, no one dares to try and test Hyuga Hiashi's bottom line right now.

Hyuga Kisai glanced around, then cleared his throat and said, "Well, since the head of the family has asked, I'll offer some of my own insights."

"The Main House is definitely necessary. Not every patriarch is as intelligent as you, and the purpose of the Main House elders is to ensure the family's stable continuation as much as possible."

This point cannot be erased.

Hyuga Kisai's summary.

Elder Kisai is an honest man!

The elders nodded slowly, inwardly praising them.

Although Hyuga Kisai's blatant flattery was despicable, his words were relatively fair and agreeable, and he did not completely favor his Japanese brethren.

The Hizashi remained expressionless, showing no sign of emotion.

As for Hiashi, he was even more composed. He felt that saying more before was meaningless; the key was what he hadn't finished saying.

really.

After a brief pause, Hyuga Kisai changed the subject. "However, what Hizashi said isn't entirely without merit; what happened before is enough to illustrate the point."

"Therefore, I believe that while the Main House system does have flaws, it cannot be abolished!"

He bowed and slowly sat down.

Hyuga Hiashi a smile, "Elder Kisai truly lives up to his reputation as a pillar of our clan. His words hit the nail on the head. Hizashi, you heard it too. The Main House and the elder system are based on merit; how can they be completely abolished?"

"Branch House also has its merits, Branch House can also serve to advise the patriarch. Just like now, I, Hizashi, am willing to risk my life to cleanse the Main House of its corrupt practices!"

Hizashi's tone was firm, determined to overthrow his superiors, but...

The Hiashi was pleased, but still let out a sigh.

"We have all witnessed the sacrifices made by the Branch House, and the main Main House will never forget the contributions. These people are taking whatever they want from the Branch House, and they have truly forgotten the original meaning of the Branch House established by our ancestors."

"This clearly shows that the problems within the Main House are enormous, and the current system is by no means the best solution. The rules established by our ancestors were for the continuation of the family line; if they are beneficial to the family's growth and continuation, then reform is absolutely necessary!"

At this point, Hyuga Hiashi spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Times are changing, Hyuga Clan must change too!"

"Clan Head, our Hyuga Clan clan is considered the most powerful clan in Konoha. Why don't we follow the village's structure and set up different positions to determine the number of elders and Main House, and eliminate those who don't meet the requirements to become Branch House?"

The Hizashi's tone was icy, "Except for the head of the family, the next generation of children will be given a set age, and they will compete on an equal footing, just like in school, with the best rising and the worst falling!"

He looked around, grinned, and said, "The purpose of Branch House is to protect the Main House, but we can't protect a bunch of ungrateful good-for-nothings. Besides, competition is a form of motivation, and I believe it will be better for the family in the long run!"

The entire room fell silent.

The difference was that Hyuga Hiashi remained silent to observe the reactions of the others, while the other elders were completely stunned.

They understood perfectly well.

The reason why Hiashi and Hizashi said so much was not to abolish the positions of Main House and elders, but to redefine the Main House and elders.

from now on...

Instead of passing down the Main House from generation to generation, they allowed the outstanding children of each generation and lineage to become the Main House, while the less outstanding children were sent to Branch House.

Such a system will not shake the foundation of the Hyuga Clan.

After all, all the disputes have been resolved and resolved within the clan. When dealing with external matters, the Branch House remains the Branch House and the Main House remains the Main House, with no change.

Furthermore, the Main House also has many other things to do...

Unlike before, they no longer enjoy privileges and status without having to pay any price.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

The quickest to react was Hyuga Kisai, who soon realized that this fluidity between the Main House and Branch House was extremely beneficial to the entire Hyuga Clan!

Those who Branch House can see hope.

As for the Main House, they cannot rest easy at home simply because of their birth.

but...

"Rules are good, but how do we define them for each generation?"

Kisai asked.

Hiashi said, "That's simple. Ten years old is the age when most members of the family Awakening and master Gentle Fist and secret techniques. Who is superior and who is weak can be easily determined by comparison!"

"Select the best few from among them, but of course, each family can only send one person, that's for sure."

"If there are more outstanding children, we can also consider letting them join the Main House to learn more powerful secret techniques, Gentle Fist, or even the Rotation..."

Obviously.

The Hiashi had already considered this.

However, he was unwilling to say it himself and preferred that Hizashi or Hyuga Kisai take the lead.

In this way, he will have a choice regardless of whether things succeed or fail.

Gradually loosen restrictions and transition until a relatively perfect state is reached.

"I've finished speaking. This should be a good plan. Hizashi, Elder Kisai, you have no objections, right?"

"No, Your Excellency is wise!"

The Hizashi is low.

Kisai nodded in agreement.

If you disagree, a fist might come flying at you in the next second!

Hiashi looked at the others. "And you guys?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

this...

How should I answer?

Everyone looked at Hyuga Koukaku.

"Elder."

???

Hyuga Koukaku's face contorted with anger.

how?

At times like this, are they all just cowering?

Hyuga Hiashi wasn't wrong about feelings; the Main House a bunch of useless people!

He was so angry that he swayed and almost fell over. He barely managed to steady himself by holding onto a chair. After several heavy breaths, Hyuga Koukaku's face turned red.

"Since the patriarch deems it feasible, I have nothing more to say. In any case, I'm practically half-buried anyway, and I have little attachment to power."

As for my child...

"He's not particularly capable, but he might actually contribute to the family after the Branch House. You all can decide what to do!"

Hyuga Koukaku said, waving away a useless teammate, and angrily got up and left.

Walking over Hyuga Satoshi, he sighed and helped him up.

"Master, I'll help him get treatment. He's a member of the Hyuga Clan clan, after all; we can't just let him go like this."

"Go, Elder."

Hiashi's tone also became more respectful.

Compared to the others, Hyuga Koukaku still possessed a certain amount of courage and ability.

Hyuga Koukaku waved his hand.

He accepted his fate and left with dignity and decisiveness. Hiashi was also willing to give him face and let him leave peacefully and dignifiedly.

But others.

He sneered inwardly, then stood up.

"If there's nothing else, this is settled. Anyone who disagrees can speak up now. If I find out that anyone uses the Caged Bird Seal to threaten the Branch House after today, I will show no mercy!"

Hizashi smiled and said, "If I, Hizashi Hyuga, were afraid, I wouldn't be standing here today!"

He glanced around and said calmly, "For the Hyuga Clan, for the Branch House, I have already disregarded life and death. You are all welcome to come at me!"

One person's death was used to secure the future of the Branch House and the future of the children.

He enjoyed it immensely!

Hyuga Kisai looked at Hizashi Hyuga and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

While Hyuga Hiashi skilled, Hizashi Hyuga was equally formidable, utterly fearless of death.

Change needs people like this!

Without Hizashi Hyuga, Hyuga Hiashi alone could never have accomplished such a feat.

Hiashi...

This is not Kisai.

While Hiashi is undoubtedly talented, he is conservative by nature and not the type to be pioneering. Hizashi Hyuga, on the other hand, has that drive and ruthlessness. Only through their cooperation can this matter be accomplished.

otherwise.

Even with just one of them, Hiashi or Hizashi, the elders of the Main House wouldn't be able to suppress them.

He stood up and said, "Master, this matter is of great importance. After setting the tone, we still need to discuss it carefully, slowly deliberating on the procedures and positions. We must not be too hasty."

"Elder Kisai is right, that's what I meant too. We need to figure out what positions to appoint and how everyone should contribute to the family."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded, "From now on, the Hyuga Main House of the capable rising and the weak falling; there will be no need for incompetent individuals!"

"Yes!"

"I wonder what's going on with Hizashi Hyuga."

Kyohiko held the string of data, pondering it silently in his mind.

He was quite concerned about the Hizashi affairs.

The Hyuga Clan today is like a stagnant pool; though powerful, it lacks the drive to strive for advancement.

This is also why the Hyuga Clan has not produced a single Kage Level shikigami for many years.

If the Hyuga Clan can be mobilized and its influence increased, then the Hyuga Clan can definitely become a truly powerful clan no less than the Uchiha Clan.

After all, even among the Uchiha, not everyone possesses the Mangekyo.

Mangekyo are even rarer.

The Hyuga Clan has the advantage of being able to awaken their Awakening more easily, and if they can increase their strength, their potential is immense.

As Kyohiko was pondering this, a notification sounded.

[Under your guidance and influence, the Hyuga Clan began the initial reforms of the Main House and Branch House.]
