Chapter 398: The Fifth Hokage is the Blue Sky of the Ninja World(1/2)
The clan elder was so angry that he trembled.
Forget it Hinata Yun.
How dare you, an 8-year-old kid, speak nonsense in front of him!
If it were in a private setting, he would have directly recited the incantation of the caged bird and calmly admired the scene of Hinata Neji kowtow and grab the ground.
But here, he doesn't dare!
He knew very well that in today's negotiation, the people of Konoha were watching them, the people of the cabinet were watching them, and more importantly...
The Fifth Hokage is watching them!
They didn't dare to make any move at all!
A few days ago, the 300-meter-high Xuzuo Neng seemed like a god from a fairy tale, mysterious, majestic, and arrogant!
Just facing it head on will make you lose the courage to take action.
They knew very well that the Fifth Hokage was watching this negotiation right now.
If they caused the displeasure of the Fifth Hokage...
Just thinking about it makes me feel unspeakably frightened.
'Damn those bastards who are separated from the family, you open your mouth and keep silent, Lord Godaime Hokage, you have the ability to be dragged into Lord Godaime Hokage!'
This clan elder was incompetent and furious in his heart. He did not dare to refute anything directly, so he whispered to Hinata Yin Lubo, who had just taken over as the clan clan leader:
"Clan leader, the words about dividing the family are too vicious. As the leader of my clan, you have to suppress their arrogance!"
This clan elder also has evil intentions.
He didn't dare to face the people who separated from the family directly. At this time, anything he said was wrong.
Not to mention, at most he would be labeled as incompetent. With the status of the Zong family, when the storm subsides, he can still enjoy a life that most people would never dare to imagine in their lifetimes.
If you say it, it is very likely that it will be lost in public opinion.
So he made a detour, trying to push Hinata Yin Lubo out and let him attract the firepower.
He is the leader of the Hyuga clan. Although he has no rights, he has a high status.
It's just right to push him out and use him as a scapegoat.
Hyuga Yin Luha's reticence does not mean that he is a fool.
This behavior of the clan elder made him feel chilled.
'At this time, these old antiques from the Zong family are still thinking about these disgusting tricks. Sure enough, it is right to abolish the curse seal of the caged bird!'
Hinata Yin Lubo looked at Hinata Rizu calmly.
Hinata and Hinata stood up with a serious face.
In the audience, his old father watched Hinata Hizashi suddenly stand up, and suddenly felt a strong sense of ominousness in his heart.
‘Rizu, could he be...’
As if to respond to his old father's thoughts, Hinata Hizu spoke:
"Times are constantly changing. In the past, our ancestors developed the Cage Bird's Curse Seal in order to protect the family's blood inheritance from being stolen by outsiders. The purpose was to protect the Byakugan and the foundation on which our clan relies for survival."
As soon as Hinata Rizu opened his mouth, the people in the audience booed.
"How could Rizu cabinet member say that!"
"Yes, everything the Zong family enjoys is based on the pain of family separation. The Rizu cabinet member said this, which is tantamount to trying to shirk the Zong family!"
"He went against Hokage-sama's will and thoughts. Such a cabinet member is not worthy of being a cabinet member!"
The Hyuga clan didn't know the inside story, but the clan was very happy. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have celebrated together:
"Well done, Patriarch!"
"Hahahaha, yes, our clan's caged bird seal was originally designed to protect the foundation of our clan's survival."
"The clan enslaves the branch families, and the clan treats the members of the branch family as slaves. These are all nonsense and rumors!"
"Hmph, the white-eyed wolves of the separated family are really ungrateful. Our clan created such a peaceful environment for them, but they forgot this and came back to bite us!"
"It doesn't matter. As long as the patriarch is here, they can't change the world."
Only the old father's face became more and more ugly.
He knew his son very well.
He has never been the kind of person to sacrifice himself for others.
Otherwise, he would not have sat back and watched his brother die on his behalf.
'Who on earth gave Rizu such courage?'
Hinata Rizu's old father couldn't help but look up in the direction of the shadow rock. The sunlight in the sky was falling, and Qianye's shadow rock cast a large shadow.
It was like a giant curtain that blocked out the sky and the sun. The old father who had spent enough time began to feel short of breath:
'The Fifth Hokage-sama is trying to destroy the foundation of my Hyuga clan. My clan...is finished!'
...
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but Hinata Rizu seemed not to hear it. He continued to act according to his script:
"However, the present is no longer the past. Times have been changing, and today is different from the past."
"In the past, the weak Sarutobi regime could not protect our Hyuga clan, so there were all these tragedies. Even the ninjas from Kumogakure Village blatantly sneaked into our clan's mansion and kidnapped my daughter. Their purpose was to take away my daughter.
Those white eyes of hers.
In order to protect my daughter, I personally killed the evil thief in Yunyin Village, did I do something wrong?"
"No!" Hinata Hizashi gave the answer: "As a father, if I can't protect my own children, how can I survive in the world?"
This veteran Hinata Hizu is trying to improve his image points.
Everyone is performing.
Everyone wears this or that mask after going out to deal with different occasions and different people.
The only difference is who has better acting skills.
Hinata Hizu's self-destruction restored some of the image points that had been lost just now to exonerate the clan.
The exchange students from Yunyin Village, Daru Yin, and the others felt that their faces were getting hot from the strange looks from other exchange students.
They wanted to make an excuse, but they couldn't find any.
A few months ago, representatives from their village had just escorted the remains of Hyuga Hizashi back to Konoha.
Everyone knows this.
Perhaps after they grow up and experience many things, they will no longer be ashamed of such things.
But at this moment, they were feeling ashamed in the strange eyes of everyone.
I wish I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and hide.
Yunyin Village made a mistake in this matter.
Hinata Hinata ignored the changes in the audience. He continued to follow the script he had practiced for several days, with a bit of a performance quality, and said sincerely and painfully:
"As a father, I protect my daughter; as the head of the Hyuga clan, I protect the family's heir; as a ninja of Konoha, I protect the dignity of the village."
"As a result, the weak Sarutobi regime, faced with the Kumogakure village that was defeated, ordered my clan to hand over the murderer."
"The Sarutobi regime that was supposed to protect us actually ordered our clan to hand over the murderer!"
"My younger brother, he smiled and said: 'Brother, you and I look very similar. I belong to the branch family and you belong to the clan family. The branch family should protect the clan family. Let me take your place.'
I am a shameful coward. I chose to escape and witnessed my brother die for me." After saying this, tears filled Hinata Hinatsu's eyes. This time, it was not all acting.
He left his seat, walked to the opposite side of Hyuga Neji, and knelt down suddenly:
"Neji, as your uncle, I feel sorry for your family! Please forgive me!"
Hinata Hinata kowtowed to Hinata Neji in front of everyone and apologized.
This time, there is no emotion, it’s all acting...
It is true that Hinata and Hinata feel guilty for their younger brother.
Otherwise, he would not agree to Hyuga Neji practicing and returning to heaven.
However, he is a person who cares about face. No matter how guilty or indebted he feels, he will never choose this way——
Kneel down and apologize to Hyuga Neji in front of so many people.
He is performing.
For power, for his path, a performance!
Qianye could see through Hinata Hinashi's acting skills at a glance, but the young Hinata Neji couldn't see it, really couldn't.
During his time in the cabinet, Hinata Hizatsu's acting skills were fully exercised.
To be continued...
