Time continues to flow
Although the Branch Family head's guess differed slightly, the overall situation remained unchanged.
After wandering around the clan Uchiha Takashi for a few more days, everything was finally ready.
The Uchiha then announced a visit to the Hyuga Clan Uchiha clan, with Kyō Uchiha, the clan's official in charge, personally going on the visit.
However, what the others didn't know was that someone else had secretly followed them: Uchiha Takashi had arrived at the Hyuga Clan's Main Family beforehand to infiltrate and gather intelligence.
The Hyuga Main Family also had their own ulterior motives. They had recently been getting very close to the Senju Clan, and they were aware of the Uchiha's arrival. They were wondering if they could get even more.
Greed had taken over the minds of the Hyuga Main Family. Having suffered losses, they believed the Uchiha had a calm and collected leader, allowing them to demand exorbitant prices without fear of retaliation from the Uchiha.
In short, they're all scheming and have their own agendas; none of them are human, and all of them combined are 800 different kinds of people.
At the Uchiha delegation's residence, Kyō Uchiha sat in the car, with Uchiha Takashi sitting opposite him.
"Chieftain, this is the list of personnel for our delegation. Please take a look."
Uchiha Takashi took the list from Kyō Uchiha and began to examine it carefully.
Since the mission was to deploy elite forces as part of Plan B to preemptively strike the Hyuga Clan, the entire delegation consisted of Elite Jonin of Mitsudomoe!
The number of people was approximately 30; it could be said that they emptied the entire elite force from the family's territory.
Currently, there are approximately 60 members of the Uchiha Clan with the Mitsudomoe. A dozen or so have been deployed to the front lines of the Three-Clan Allied Forces, while a few have been sent to Uchiha villages.
About ten others stayed at the Shimura Clan camp; the rest were basically all here, accompanying Uchiha Takashi on his Hyuga Clan.
The family headquarters—except for a few essential personnel—has been brought along entirely.
Don't underestimate these 30-odd Uchiha; these 30-odd Uchiha, if combined, could wipe out a small clan of a thousand.
If we were to launch a precise attack on the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan, it would be a piece of cake; we could even sweep through their territory.
Soon, the delegation arrived at the residence of the Hyuga Clan 'Branch Family branch Hyuga Clan Main Family was protected by the Branch Family families, which were distributed in four directions. To enter the Hyuga Main Family, one had to pass through the residence of the Hyuga Branch Family families first.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Takashi, who was part of the delegation, had already quietly left.
The Branch Family elder stationed here slowly came out to greet them, "So it's the Uchiha Clan's special envoy. The Uchiha envoy has come from afar; we are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
Kyō Uchiha nodded indifferently, slightly raising his chin, striking a pose of disdain typical of the Uchiha.
The Hyuga Branch Family elder Kyō Uchiha, thinking, "Damn it, I knew your name was Kyō Uchiha. You're really arrogant! Arrogant beyond belief!"
" The Uchiha Clan has come from afar. Please come in and have a seat. Rest a bit, and I will relay the message back to the Main Family before making further plans."
Kyō Uchiha nodded indifferently. He wasn't in a hurry; his only goal was to meet Uchiha Ten. He knew nothing about any Hyuga to the Uchiha Takashi.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Takashi had already silently crossed the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family's territory and headed towards the Hyuga Clan's Main Family.
Meanwhile, inside the Hyuga Clan's Main Family, the Hyuga Clan Head was seated opposite an envoy from the Senju Clan clan.
"So this is all the Senju Clan is planning to offer, and then let the Hyuga Clan betray us? If that's all, then you should just go back."
The Uchiha Clan are our beloved relatives and brothers, the very people of the Hyuga Clan!
The Senju Clan envoy curled his lips into a smile and, without hesitation, added another clause, "Once you've dealt with the outer perimeter of the Uchiha, you can take an even larger portion closer to your side."
The Hyuga Clan head swallowed hard upon hearing this. A larger share Hyuga Clan Head land—he had to admit, he was tempted.
But at this point, he wanted even more benefits. "Hey, hey, I've already said that the Uchiha Clan are our Hyuga Clan's beloved relatives and brothers. How could we possibly betray our allies? We need more money!"
The Senju Clan envoy, seeing the Hyuga Clan Head's insatiable greed, twitched his lips. Was the Hyuga Clan head an idiot?
Putting aside the fact that betraying their allies would inevitably offend the Uchiha Clan and force them to rely on the Senju Clan, they're now making exorbitant demands without any regard for the Senju Clan's feelings. If they need to depend on the Senju Clan later, will the Senju Clan treat them well?
However, the Senju Clan's envoy did not reveal this. The more greedy the Hyuga Clan was, the better, because the more greedy they were, the more money they could use to bribe them to betray the Uchiha!
The Hyuga Clan Head Senju Clan's envoy. "It's not that we don't want to give more, Hyuga clan head, but rather that we need to further restrict the Uchiha's living space before we can fulfill our promise."
What I'm saying now is only what you're certain you'll get; who can predict the future?
Just then, a member of the Hyuga clan ran in and whispered in the Hyuga Clan Head's ear, "Clan leader, the Uchiha Clan has arrived."
The Hyuga Clan Head raised an eyebrow, looking at the smiling Senju Clan envoy before him.
After thinking for a moment, the Hyuga Clan Head shook his head and said, "Then let me consider whether or not I should cooperate with your Senju Clan. Let me think about it some more."
The Senju Clan envoy nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Then, the Hyuga Clan Head asked the Hyuga clan members, "Where is the Uchiha Clan now?"
Hyuga clansman. "We are currently at our eastern base and need your permission to come over."
The Hyuga Clan Head nodded upon hearing this, then, as if remembering something, quickly asked, " The Uchiha didn't bring many people, did they?"
The Hyuga clan member shook his head. "There aren't many people, only about 30, just a normal delegation."
The Hyuga Clan Head finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the Uchiha had indeed calmed down considerably; upon learning of the Hyuga Clan's indecisiveness, they hadn't immediately brought a large army to deal with him.
These days, his biggest fear was being sought revenge by the Uchiha Clan, but it seems he made the right bet; the Uchiha Clan is unlikely to engage in such a revenge plot.
"Then pass on my order to release them. I want to see what the Uchiha have to offer me to pull me back from the Senju Clan."
Uchiha Takashi arrived at the Hyuga Clan in just a few steps, but instead of rushing into the Main Family's mansion, he hid in the nearby Branch Family's camp.
Fortunately, this place is very close to their base, so they aren't very vigilant and don't roll their Byakugan at each other.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Takashi didn't forget to eavesdrop on the Branch Family members' discussion, wanting to gauge their Hyuga Clan stance.
However, the ordinary members of the Hyuga Clan had absolutely no useful information; it seemed that the higher-ups were keeping this news a closely guarded secret.
Apart from a small number of the Hyuga Clan who had heard some rumors, the rest seemed to be completely unaware.
Uchiha Takashi turned his gaze to the main branch of the Hyuga Clan Main Family. Compared to the branch Branch Family, who were practically slaves within the Hyuga Clan, anyone in the Main Family should know more information.
As expected, there was a lot of discussion about this matter within the Main Family, since there weren't many people in the Main Family.
When Uchiha Takashi infiltrated again, he overheard a conversation between two elders of the Main Family.
"What is the clan leader doing? He received the Senju Clan's envoys, and now he's sending the Uchiha Clan. Isn't he afraid the two clans will start fighting?"
"Oh, you don't understand, do you? The clan leader is trying to profit from both sides; he wants to win over both, so of course he has to get something from them!"
... The two walked away as they talked.
