"Slander! This is slander! Hokage-sama! Do you also think that we Hinata are all people who fear death?!"
Rizu asked the Third Hokage angrily.
"Hizu, it's not that I think so, but someone in the village already thinks so." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
"You also know what the situation is now. Our companions in the village are all fighting bloody battles on the front lines. As the head of the Hinata clan, you have been staying at the rear and doing nothing. It is inevitable that some rumors will arise. Hizu, you must take the overall situation into consideration and don't let the villagers
That’s what we think about.”
"But now that something like this is happening in our clan, how can I leave like this!" Rizu couldn't help but say.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became calmer: "Why, do you think your Hyuga's family affairs are more important than the life and death of the village? Your personal death is a big deal, and those companions who sacrificed on the front line are not important?
"
When the big hat was pulled off, Rizu's face instantly turned ugly: "I don't dare!"
Sarutobi's eyes moved slightly, and his face softened again: "Hizu, I know that Hinata is in trouble, and the village will make the decision for you. I will do my best to investigate the murder of Hinata. This happened in Konoha.
, I will never allow the murderer to go unpunished!"
Rizu stood there with his face turning blue and white: "I understand, thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Sarutobi nodded and said happily: "There is a baggage team leaving the village in the next two days. You should go back and prepare."
When Hinata Hinashi left, the smile on Sarutobi's face gradually disappeared.
You are still too young, Rizu, to show your thoughts on your face so easily. Are you so uneasy just because a clan member died?
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window behind his desk and looked deeply at the village scenery outside the window.
If Minato is so young, how will he deal with those old guys...
If the war can end successfully, how can I resign with peace of mind?
…
The land of the Hyuga clan.
When Hizu returned to his residence, he saw that his father and Ayano were both here, kneeling and sitting in the middle of the living room, seemingly waiting for him.
Rizu walked in, looked at his father on the throne, and knelt down beside him silently.
The pale-haired Hyuga Taikyu leaned on the crutches with both hands and glanced sideways: "You are very embarrassed, Hinata."
Hizu slowly closed his eyes, and Ayano across from him looked worried.
Hyuga Taikyu asked slowly: "What made you confused?"
Rizu opened his eyes suddenly, with anger in his voice: "Those white eyes are the secret of the clan, and outsiders cannot know it. I suspect that the old guys in the branch family are restless! I am going to investigate this matter thoroughly, but now the Hokage
Let me rush to the front line and say that there are already rumors in the village, and it must be the Uchiha people who are fanning the flames!"
Hinata Taikyu sighed after hearing this: "You disappoint me so much, Rizu."
Rizu snorted coldly: "If something like this happens in the clan, I, as the clan leader, will take all the responsibilities."
Hinata Taikyu said: "It's just the eyes of a dead person. If you lose it, you will lose it. But do you still look like a clan leader in your behavior now? You will only show it to the branch family and the Uchiha people."
I look down on you even more in my heart."
Hizu's eyes widened when he heard this: "That's just a Byakugan. Our Hyuga clan has always strictly controlled the outflow of blood, how could we just lose it like this?!"
Hyuga Taikyu said: "What if we lose it? Without our Hyuga bloodline, there will not be another Byakugan family. At most, it will just be more people with Byakugan in the ninja world."
Rizu was silent there.
Hyuga Taikyu said again: "What, do you think it's a shame?"
Rizu said nothing.
Hinata Taigui said calmly: "If this is unbearable, why not give up the position of the clan?"
Rizu was angry, but he still managed to hold it back: "What do you think we should do now?"
Taigui said: "Go to the front line. The war is so tense now and we need Hyuga's strength."
Rizu frowned and asked, "What about the clan affairs?"
"Hokage-sama should probably ask about this matter."
"He said he would investigate thoroughly."
"Then let Hokage-sama investigate."
"But……"
"What?" Tae Kyu glanced at him and interrupted him.
"Are you afraid that the Hokage won't find out anything, or are you afraid that the Hokage will find out something?"
"..."
"You think this is a scandal, and are you worried that if it spreads, it will damage the dignity of your Hyuga clan leader?" Taigui asked, squinting his eyes.
Rizu had a sullen face and said nothing.
"Hizu, is Hinata's name so shallow in your eyes?"
"Don't you know what Uchiha's reputation is among the people, but has anyone ever shaken their status over the years?"
"Let the people talk as they please. The key is what the Hokage will think of you. Do you want him to think that you are a person who only cares about your family and doesn't care about the life or death of the village? Have you ever thought about the consequences of this? What do you think?
Compared to the villagers secretly laughing at you while walking on the road, which one is more serious?"
Rizu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and his face changed from gloomy to bright for a long time before he took a deep breath and said, "I understand, it's me who is ignorant."
Tae Kyu nodded and asked, "How is the child?"
Rizu said: "I personally tested it last night and it's no problem."
"It's okay now, but there's no guarantee what will happen in the future. Now that Baiyan was stolen, the child may have become a variable in the eyes of the branch family." Taikyu said, "The child must have absolute faith in the family.
Loyalty, Ayano paid more attention to Rizu while he was on the battlefield."
Ayano heard the words and quickly lowered her head and responded: "I understand."
Taigui said to Rizu: "Rizu, you are Hinata's clan. You must understand that maintaining the stability of our clan is the most important thing! We must not allow civil strife in the family!"
"I know."
Tae Kyu sighed softly and murmured: "Chaos is an abyss..."
"The bloody mouth is wide open, the abyss that swallows everything... When I die, give him my eyes."
"Lord Taigui!" Ayano said in surprise from the side, "He is just a member of the branch family, how can he use the eyes of the clan!"
Taikyu frowned slightly: "Why, do you think the branch family is inherently inferior to the clan family? Your sister has the same blood as you, isn't she also a branch family? It is your mentality that causes the conflict between the clan family and the clan family.
Go deep into this.”
When Ayano heard this, she immediately lowered her head and said nothing.
"Go and prepare. Pay attention to safety on the front line. It's no better than the village. Every achievement you make there is far more important than finding the murderer in the village. I will handle the clan's affairs."
