"This is Hyuga Clan business. What right does the Hokage have to interfere? I object!"
"Your reason!"
Hiashi spoke coolly. "Why do you object?"
"Because this is Hyuga Clan business!"
"Not good enough! You need to explain how opposing this benefits the Hyuga Clan, and your reasoning has to convince the Hokage."
Hyūga Zhenyan frowned slightly. "Why make this decision all of a sudden? Are the other clans doing this too?"
"All of them! According to the Hokage, he wants the most talented people in Konoha to focus solely on cultivation to deal with the enemies that are coming.
He went to another Shinobi World during this time. The enemies there are powerful, and he isn't confident he can handle them."
"Why be Hokage if he isn't strong enough? We might as well have Taichi do it."
Bang!
Hiashi slammed the table. "Hyūga Zhenyin, do you have a death wish? You make an unreasonable fuss at every meeting. Do you think that makes you look clever?
Go find Taichi right now and see whether he'll even bother with you.
If the Hokage hadn't given him the Daozang, do you think Taichi would still be in Konoha? He'd have hidden away in some remote mountain forest long ago."
Zhenyan shook his head inwardly. Why did these two argue every time?
"Hiashi, in that case, go make the arrangements! Gather everyone who has broken free of the Cursed Seal's control to cultivate together.

"I still think we should have the Main Family cultivate and the Branch Family work as Ninja. That would better protect the Byakugan."
"Sigh!"
Hiashi sighed. "Hinata, broaden her horizons. Stop going on about the Byakugan all
