Faced with the aggressive gazes around her, a frightened Hinata even wanted to find a place to hide, but unfortunately, she was the center of attention today and had to sit in the middle.
"Elder, we are not doing this for ourselves, but for the entire Hyuga Clan!"
Hizashi Hyuga sat at the very front, his sharp gaze fixed on Hinata and Hinata grandfather. For him, there was a chance to change his fate, and he certainly wouldn't let it slip by.
Even though he and Neji have already been branded with the Caged Bird Seal, once he takes control of the Hyuga Clan, he will at least never allow his grandson to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal again!
Not only for himself, but also for his son Neji, he was willing to grit his teeth and do it, even if it meant bullying a five-year-old child.
Hinata's grandfather originally planned to temporarily assume the position of clan head while nurturing Hinata, and then hand over the clan headship and Main Family to Hinata when the time came.
But given the current situation, he had no doubt that none of the branch Branch Family present would agree to him doing this!
Although he has the Caged Bird Seal, it's impossible for him to kill all the Branch Family. That Hyuga Clan without anyone, and there's almost no one left to support Hinata now.
All the members of the Branch Family saw hope of escaping their fate; there was no one left who would stand by Hinata's side.
"For the sake of the Hyuga Clan, you should protect this clan, not think about seizing power! Cough! Cough cough!"
Hinata's grandfather's tone was tinged with helplessness, but also with a hint of sharpness.
"So, do you really think Hinata can inherit the Main Family?!"
"That's right. Although Hinata is the eldest daughter of the main Main Family, regardless of her age, just looking at her personality, can she really have the demeanor of a clan leader?"
The Hyuga Branch Family members spoke coldly to Hinata's grandfather.
At this point, Hinata was so frightened that she ran behind her grandfather to hide. When her grandfather saw this, he immediately shouted angrily, "What kind of personality can you tell from a five-year-old child? Do you want her to argue or fight with you?"
"That's right, Hinata is only five years old. She'll need at least ten more years to inherit the Main Family. What does Elder intend to do during those ten years?!"
The members of the Hyuga Branch Family seem to have seized on this point, constantly pushing forward, and everyone understands that at this time there can be no disagreements; they must work together.
Seeing that almost everyone in the Hyuga Branch Family was staring at him coldly, Hinata's grandfather wanted to grit his teeth and use the Caged Bird Seal to make them all writhe in agony on the ground, but that wouldn't have any effect, and he couldn't possibly kill them all.
For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
However, Hinata, huddled behind her grandfather and trembling, was clearly at a significant disadvantage, given her inherently weak and timid nature.
"How about this, Elder? Let Hinata -sama choose for herself."
In the silence, Hizashi Hyuga's voice broke the stillness, his tone seemingly returning to normal.
However, hidden in his cataract-like eyes was a profound meaning; he had completely grasped Hinata's personality.
"What's the meaning?"
Hinata's grandfather protected Hinata and spoke in a deep voice.
Hizashi Hyuga looked directly at Hinata and said, " Hinata- sama, if you want to inherit the Main Family, then please stay here. If not... then leave for now."
So, do you want to stay or leave?
Hizashi Hyuga's words were quite calm, without any aggressive tone, which lessened Hinata's fear.
She peeked out with half her head and said weakly, "I... I want to go out..."
Hinata!
Hinata heard what Hinata said, her grandfather glared at her, almost scaring Hinata into tears.
On the other side, Hizashi Hyuga and the others all smiled and said, "Elder, as you can see, this is Hinata's own choice."
"You... you all... cough! Cough cough!"
Hinata's grandfather was so angry that he started coughing violently.
Everyone from the Branch Family wore a smile of satisfaction, while Hinata cowered there weakly, hugging her ankles, unsure of what to do.
But just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"If you want to go out, then go out. Don't be afraid."
The voice inexplicably eased Hinata's fear and dread, especially the words "Don't be afraid," which felt extremely familiar, as if she had heard them before.
She couldn't help but turn around and saw a boy with clear eyes and long, snow-white hair sitting behind her. He wasn't a member of the Hyuga Clan, and no one knew how he had appeared.
This appearance was extremely familiar to Hinata. After a moment of stunned silence, she subconsciously exclaimed, "Uncle... Uncle Uya?!"
The last time Uya saved her, she didn't even know Uya's name. However, the impression Uya left on her was too deep. Moreover, Hyuga Hiashi had told her many times that if she saw Uya again, she must use polite language and never offend him.
The one who entered the room silently, standing behind Hinata, was none other than Uya.
However, at this moment, Uya's expression stiffened slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Uncle... This is the first time I've ever heard that title!
Before I knew it, I'd turned into an old man. Now, shouldn't I pull out a lollipop and casually try to seduce Hinata? That would be the perfect ending!
The appearance of Uya sent chills down the spines of all the Hyuga Clan present.
None of them noticed how Uya appeared; it was as if he had simply appeared out of thin air, right behind Hinata!
The Hyuga Clan, renowned for its Byakugan Dōjutsu, was astonished that not a single member had noticed how Uya had appeared.
Even the Uya Hyuga Clan standing next to Yuya almost instinctively wanted to use Gentle Fist to attack Uya.
However, before they could even stand up, a terrifying pressure crashed down on them. They had only stood halfway up when this terrifying pressure forced them back down to the floor!
The entire audience was stunned.
Compared to two years ago, Uya's appearance at this moment was only slightly different, except that his hair color had changed from silver-white to snow-white and had grown a little longer. After their initial shock, the Hyuga Clan members finally recognized Uya's identity and their eyes widened in disbelief.
It was him!
How did he end up here?! (To be continued.)
