After Sarutobi left, Hiashi and Hizashi looked at the clan grounds, where the lights were sparse, and sighed.
"Clan... Brother..."
Hizashi wanted to say something, but Hiashi stopped him.
"Don't worry. I believe Neji and Hinata will be able to change all this in the future."
"Even if they can't, don't we still have Blondie?"
Thinking of Blondie, with his enormous chakra reserves and Wood Release, Hiashi smiled softly.
"Naruto Uzumaki?"
Hizashi had met Naruto a few times, but since he was a Jinchūriki, he hadn't had much contact with him.
But he knew Naruto and Hinata were exceptionally close.
So his brother meant they could have Naruto solve the problem in the future?
Hizashi rubbed his chin, then considered the possibility.
Naruto was known to be a Jinchūriki, and he had also learned Wood Release. His strength would definitely far surpass others in the future. Perhaps he could even reach the level of the God of Shinobi.

"Absolutely not!"
Hiashi answered almost reflexively.
"With my Hinata's talent and strength, how could I possibly let her marry that awful Blondie so easily?!"
Hinata hadn't fought in a long time, but Hiashi could even feel a faint sense of threat from her.

"Old Bastard, I parked my fox outside. Don't scratch him, okay? I'm taking your daughter out for a high-speed fox ride."
Damn, that hurts.
