Hyuga Ichiro felt so aggrieved!

Patriarch, didn't you just say it was a small matter?

How did your attitude do a complete one-eighty the moment Naruto was mentioned?

Besides, weren't you not very fond of Naruto before?

How pretentious!

Hyuga Ichiro was full of bitter complaints.

But he dared not grumble to Hyuga Riko.

Was it just because a subordinate couldn't talk back to his superior?

Of course not.

That was only part of it.

Hyuga Ichiro lowered his head, his tone apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch, it was my lack of consideration..."

"Alright, alright, take me out there immediately. Don't let him disappear."

Hyuga Hiashi waved his hand impatiently, cutting him off.

The two then left the courtyard one after the other.

Outside the courtyard, it was already crowded with members of the Branch Family.

Everyone was gathered in small groups.

Chatting and laughing.

Pointing and gesturing.

"I told you! Our Young Lady and Naruto look like a couple!"

"I've liked that kid Naruto since he was little! I heard he's already learned and used the Rasengan!"

"Hiss... Rasengan? Isn't that the ninjutsu created by the Fourth? They say it's extremely difficult to learn! Even harder than our Eight Trigrams Reversing Heaven Sixty-Four Palms!"

"Damn, so that means Naruto is a genius!"

"More than a genius, it seems he's self-taught."

The crowd chattered away, their gazes toward Naruto shifting.

They were from the Branch Family.

They only had the leisure to come out and gossip because they had finished their chores.

Otherwise, they would be treated like sub-humans.

Ordered to do this, ordered to do that.

Everyone's goal was to protect the Hyuga clan.

But for many years.

The Main Family had lived a life of ease.

While the Branch Family had to suffer.

They couldn't hope for any benefits.

Yet they couldn't escape a single bit of the drudgery.

The grievances accumulated over many years.

Could not be resolved by a few words!

The conflict between the Main Family and the Branch Family would only grow larger.

The Main Family had been using the Caged Bird to control the Branch Family.

And that hadn't been for just a day or two.

If not for the head of the Branch Family keeping a lid on things.

Those people would have long since chosen mutual destruction.

Nobody wanted to have a good time if the others didn't.

Why should you, just because you were born earlier and have worse talent, be qualified to be the Main Family and order us around like dogs?

We who were born later aren't lacking in strength!

But this wasn't the final moment yet.

So the Branch Family endured it.

But deep down, everyone hoped someone would come along to break this long-standing, rigid stalemate!

"If only Naruto could marry our Young Lady, how wonderful that would be!"

"Shh... Are you trying to die? Speaking so loudly? The Main Family Members are still nearby."

"Damn it, what are you afraid of?! I've had it with them for a long time!"

"Exactly! If the Young Lady really gets married off, then all those unreasonable systems from before will cease to exist!"

"Right! Our Hyuga clan seems to have no history of marrying out... and this time the one marrying out is our Main Family's Young Lady!"

The Hyuga clan also holds a very high status in Konoha!

The fundamental reason is their Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan!

Although the Byakugan is inferior to the Sharingan of the same level.

To some extent.

It is also an extremely precious resource!

During times of war, to ensure these resources do not fall into enemy hands.

When Hyuga clan members were on the verge of death.

They would blind themselves.

Or have their companions blind them.

Of course.

This was the situation on the battlefield.

When they couldn't take it with them.

If the situation allowed them to bring it back.

Hyuga clan members would do everything possible to retrieve the Byakugan back into the clan!

Hinata could see the crowd gathered around.

And she heard some embarrassing words.

Hinata was usually very gentle with people.

Therefore, the Branch Family members were very willing to accept her.

They dared to speak out like this.

Otherwise, for anyone else, even with a hundred times the courage.

They wouldn't dare!

Ultimately, it was because Hinata had won people's hearts.

Speaking of her current state!

How could a young girl of this age endure such 'extreme' remarks?

This was just the beginning!

When it came to marriage matters.

Even if she was willing, it would depend on whether Naruto agreed.

Hinata even heard some clan members already thinking about what to name the next clan head.

That is, the children of Naruto and Hinata.

This made the already shy Hinata.

Even more embarrassed.

"Th-that Naruto-kun has already been sent off."

"Th-thank you for accompanying me today, for chatting with me, and for buying me delicious food."

"Although I really want to invite you to my home for a glass of water, but... my father..."

As she spoke the latter part.

Little Hinata didn't know how to continue.

At home, Hyuga Hiashi had the final say.

This was not like the peaceful era after Naruto became Hokage in later generations.

Although everyone had temporarily ceased hostilities.

Minor skirmishes and small wars on the outer fringes of the Five Great Nations were still unavoidable.

Because the Five Great Nations had long signed a ceasefire agreement.

Due to face-saving issues.

They each turned a blind eye.

They could enter a state of readiness at any moment.

So the big families in the village.

Were constantly on guard.

Strictly preventing outsiders from entering clan territories to conduct activities.

Naruto grinned and said softly, "It's okay, you know I don't care about these little things."

Familiar with the plot.

He naturally understood his little wife's difficulties.

When is it not okay to drink water?

Why must it be now?

Upon hearing this, a beautiful smile appeared on Hinata's face, and she said sincerely.

"Ah, yasashi~ Naruto-kun, you really are a gentle person~ Thank you for your understanding..."

Naruto's gaze inexplicably fell on the giant panda.

Uh...

This isn't enough.

What will he do with so many daughters in the future?

In the future, after he becomes Hokage, he will definitely prioritize people.

Proposing good policies for the nation and the people to have more children and better children!

Elite ninjas with excellent genes.

Should have as many as possible.

Ideally, have more than ten!

The village will give money to raise children!

When that time comes, life will be prosperous, and the villagers will be rich.

There will be no fear of war with other countries.

These plans will naturally come to fruition.

It's like pushing a boat with the current.

However, even if they are not elite ninjas, if they want to have more children.

He also felt it was fine.

At that time, Naruto, as Hokage, would also normally issue reward money.

As for himself.

Someone as excellent and capable as him.

The more, the better.

The capable should work harder.

However, Naruto's way of dealing with people was also very simple.

He would never force any girl.

Everything would be based on willingness.

If he was unwilling.

Hehehe... even if a girl tried to force him.

It would be absolutely impossible!

After all, he wasn't a stud.

Anyway, everything will go with the flow later.

ps. That also depends on the situation, right?

It depends on who you gentlemen are willing to see. There are many beautiful girls in Naruto.

My memory is a bit bad, please list a name list in the comment section.

The one with the highest popularity will win, hehe...
