The old head of the Hyuga family finally understood that it was a lie that the warriors came to raise an army to investigate, and the real purpose was to take a fancy to the Hyuga clan.

It's not that he wants to take the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan as his own, but he wants to let people from the Hyuga clan join ANBU.

Or more accurately, into the roots.

Among the ANBU, there are still several members of the Hyuga clan, and their usual role as team leader is to be responsible for surveillance and close combat.

But among the roots, even Danzo, who was once so powerful, could not let the Hyuga clan enter the roots.

The main reason is because whether the Hyuga clan enters the Anbu or the Roots, they are definitely members of the branch family, and the members of the branch family are restricted by the clan, and the Byakugan of the branch family is also restricted by the "caged bird" set by the clan.

So Danzo didn't do that.

Among the current roots, apart from some orphans, the largest number of family members are the Aburame clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Inuzuka clan, which are relatively less powerful and easier to control.

Just like the Aburame Ryoma, who is highly regarded by others, and the Aburame Takegen, who has great potential and is absolutely loyal, Shanfaze.

Not only are they very powerful, but they also possess certain family secrets that make them more functional.

Now Toneri wants to expand the ANBU, and his biggest goal is actually to expand the roots. The Byakugan and Soft Fist techniques of the Hyuga clan have become his first targets.

After the old head of the Hyuga family understood what Toneri meant, he smiled bitterly and said with a hint of helplessness: "It is their honor to be favored by Hokage. We, the Hyuga clan, are willing to contribute to Konoha and Hokage."

.

Tomorrow, ten members of the Hyuga branch who have reached chunin strength and are good at Hyuga soft boxing will report to the Anbu of Konoha.

I can only hope that Lord Hokage can understand from the members of the branch family. After all, some members of our family are still too depleted. There are only two of us, Rizu and I, so..."

Toneri smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, old master, I understand your situation. There are ten outstanding members of the Hyuga family, and I am very satisfied."

These ten Hyuga Chuunin are definitely not very old. The old Hyuga clan head should have understood what Toneri’s real purpose is. If these ten Hyuga clan Chuunin are taken out, even if they are wasted, they will be in vain in the future.

The Hyuga clan will no longer have much to do with it.

"Okay, it's time for me to leave. After all, you should be quite busy too. I hope the Hinata family can continue to contribute to Konoha like they do now..."

With that said, Toneri stood up, waved his hands and left directly.

Watching his leaving figure, the smile on the face of the old Hinata family master gradually faded, and in the end, only his indifferent eyes remained.

"Father..." Hinata Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi stood up at the same time and came to him.

The old head of the family stretched out his hand to stop Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Hizashi who wanted to speak.

Hinata, who looked more and more like him when he was younger, nodded with satisfaction.

He was actually very satisfied with the abilities of his two sons, but unfortunately, according to the inheritance rules of the Hyuga clan, only one person could inherit the position of head of the clan.

"Hizashi, starting from today, the Hyuga clan will be handed over to you. You need to shoulder the responsibility of carrying forward the entire Hyuga clan. Hizashi, you must assist your brother well.

You...don't blame me..."

Hinata was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "Father, the people in the separated family are also very kind to me, and I am willing to fully assist my brother. Don't worry."

When the old head of the family heard what Hizashi said, he nodded with satisfaction.

But Hinata and Hinashi spoke with a little hesitation: "Father, can it be that...Hizashi can really only become a member of the branch family? And Hizashi's one-year-old child Neji...

Can we just become a separate family?"

"Rizu!" the old patriarch shouted.

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

The old head of the family looked serious, staring closely at Hinata Hizu's eyes, "Hizu! Sometimes, the rules are the rules, and no other emotions can be involved!

I don’t want to see Hizashi become a branch family, but this is the reason why the Hyuga clan and branch families exist. Without competition, there will be no unnecessary struggles. This is why our Hyuga family can continue to prosper till now.

main reason.

Even if Neji is my biological grandson, since he was born in the branch family, he can only belong to the branch family, and he must not mess with this rule, otherwise what will you make other members of the branch family think?"

Listening to the serious words of the old head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi finally gave up trying.

"Hizu, your child will be born soon, right? You should pay close attention to this child and train him to be able to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Hyuga clan like you."

"Yes, Father!"

...

Leave Hinata's house.

Toneri didn't stop, but went directly to Konoha's other wealthy family, the Uchiha clan.

This time, the Uchiha clan's losses were not small at all.

The central area of ​​Konoha where the Nine-Tails Rebellion occurred encompassed the Uchiha clan's territory.

Compared to the Hyuga clan, Toneri has much more freedom when entering the Uchiha clan's territory.

Directly find one of his disciples, Uchiha Shisui.

After Toneri came back from the battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain, in addition to necessary work and research, he had to take some time every week to guide a few of his disciples.

Among them, Asuma Sarutobi, Metkai and Kurenai Yuhi had all made meritorious deeds on the battlefield during the Third Ninja War and were promoted to chunin.

Moreover, their strength is not weak, and ordinary B-level tasks as a three-person team are not difficult for them.

As for Kakashi, after Minato came back, he has been training with Minato.

Both of them are the kind of ninjas who are not born with much chakra and need to be careful, but are very fast.

Occasionally, Kakashi would go to Toneri to ask for advice on sword skills and the use of the Sharingan.

He is already a Jonin and has the ability to perform tasks alone, but after experiencing the stimulation of Uchiha Obito and Harano Rin, he still has not been able to recover.

There are signs of stalling in the improvement of strength.

The only good thing is that because of Toneri's deliberate care, Kakashi has a good relationship with Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

And recently, Toneri gave him a new mission, which is to protect Kushina and little Naruto.

The cute and lively new life has invisibly alleviated the darkness in Kakashi's heart a lot.

Therefore, they are not Toneri's main focus. He mainly teaches Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

However, Uchiha Itachi is still relatively young after all, and has not yet awakened the Sharingan, so he is not suitable for high-intensity taijutsu and ninjutsu practice, so he can only practice some skills.

Uchiha Shisui is different, he is the one who is really cared for the most by Toneri.

Not only in taijutsu, genjutsu, ninjutsu and swordsmanship, he was taught by Toneri.

Although he is still a genin now, his own strength is definitely that of a jounin.

What surprised Toneri was that when he came to the forest where the Uchiha clan often trained together today, he didn't see his two diligent disciples.

I feel a little surprised.

This situation is still relatively rare.

"Isn't it possible that Kyuubi Ran was injured?"

Go directly to Uchiha Shisui's home.

I sensed that his chakra was inside, and the chakra didn't feel very weak. On the contrary, there was even a feeling of very surging chakra.

"This kid? Could it be that the Sharingan has been promoted?"

Surprise flashed in Shiren's eyes, and he opened the door directly and walked in.

There was not much light in the dim room, and a thin-looking figure was huddled in the corner.

Seeing his appearance, Shiren knew that it was pretty much what he had guessed.

Hearing someone come in, Uchiha Shisui, who was huddled in the corner, raised his head and looked towards Toneri.

But what Toneri saw was the pair of three magatama sharingan eyes that were very conspicuous in the dark environment.

"Teacher..." Shisui's voice sounded slightly weak.

Toner's heart softened slightly, and a very gentle smile appeared on his face. He slowly walked to Uchiha Shisui and followed his example and sat on the ground.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his head gently, "What's wrong? Little guy? You look unhappy?"

Hearing Shiren's words, it was as if the emotions in my heart had found an outlet.

"Teacher... everyone, everyone... blame me, blame me for being too weak..."

Listening to Shisui's words full of self-blame, helplessness appeared on Toneri's face.

This little guy is really...

The Uchiha clan is an alternative. It seems that the Uchiha mirror has done a good job in educating future generations.

She rubbed his head fondly again, "Shisui, since you feel that your own strength is insufficient, then you should work hard to improve yourself? Don't blindly immerse yourself in the past, you should move forward in bigger steps.

.

Your eyes are a gift given to you by everyone, so you must make good use of them."

The way of comforting others is different.

Only then did he realize that his two eyes had turned into three magatama sharingan eyes.
To be continued...
