Chapter 197 Now let’s discuss the issue of the Hyuga Clan’s rebellion
As soon as Akihara Kagura spoke.
Those present dared not speak out in anger, so they could only listen obediently.
Locke Li pursed his lips in grievance and shed tears in embarrassment. He did not even dare to cry out for fear that he would be banned from competing for life.
Metkai turned around and hugged Locke Li. He could only shed tears in grievance with his disciples. He didn't dare to say anything anymore for fear of affecting Locke Li's life. It was a bit unsightly to see the two grown men crying together.
.
"this…"
As a friend of Akihara Kagura, Hatake Kakashi could only walk to Kagura's side cautiously. Seeing his friend and his friend's student crying together, he couldn't help but want to intercede: "Isn't that right?
A little cruel? At least let this little guy compete. I know this kid works hard and is quite strong, but he has never had a chance..."
Before the start of the Chunin Exams, Rock Lee had a fight with Sasuke Uchiha, a disciple of Kakashi Hatake. The so-called genius Uchiha Sasuke was perfectly restrained by Rock Lee.
Kakashi Hatake knew that Rock Lee was also a hard-working kid like his best friend, and he didn't want Rock Lee's efforts to go to waste, so he planned to help him fight for it.
However…
Akihara Kagura didn't appreciate it.
"First, he is questioning my words."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Rock Li and said, "Secondly, with my strength, I live in fear and fear, and I don't even dare to say that I am a genius..."
"Is this kid brazenly shouting that Hyuga Neji is a genius? Is he afraid that his teammates won't be recorded and assassinated by people from Kirigakure and Sunagakure Villages?"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi was speechless for a moment.
Although Hatake Kakashi has never seen Akihara Kagura live in fear, but at this time, I feel that Akihara Kagura's heresies are quite right...
"We are allies, how could this happen?"
Makki, the leading Jonin of Sunagakure Village, quickly waved his hand to indicate to them that Sunagakure Village had no intention of targeting the talented ninja of Konoha Village.
The people of Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village really watched a good show, and also saw Akihara Kagura's wanton and lawless behavior in Konoha.
Akihara Kagura is too powerful. Even if Konoha really lets this guy become Hokage, the whole of Konoha will fall apart sooner or later.
"It was my mistake to punch the weak."
Hinata Neji glanced at his crying teacher and friend, and decided to surrender to Akihara Kagura: "Master Kagura, Li is just speaking for me, this matter should not be implicated in him..."
"Don't engage in this drama of deep friendship in front of me."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Rock Lee and Metkai who were still crying next to him, and continued: "You are ninjas, not children. You should understand that you have to pay the price for saying wrong things and doing wrong things. For him,
It’s also a lesson…”
"..."
Hinata Neji lowered his head feebly.
"This is not Brother Ningji's fault..."
Hinata Hinata coughed up a mouthful of blood and wanted to argue for Hinata Neji.
"Everything started because of the farce caused by your Hyuga clan."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Hinata Hinata, and then looked at Hinata Neji, who seemed to be helpless and put down his fist, and said coldly: "From today on, if the Hyuga clan starts another fight over the division of clans here, no matter what
Whether it's the branch family or the main family, I will clean up all the people with white eyes quickly, so as not to let you affect the image of Konoha..."
"Kagura, calm down..."
Hatake Kakashi quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
The Hyuga clan is the only wealthy ninja clan in Konoha, and the Byakugan blood succession alone is the strongest reconnaissance force in Konoha. Such words cannot be said casually.
"Don't worry, I'm not a murderous person."
After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she looked at an ANBU ninja: "Go and inform the head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hizashi, that it is my order to calm down before the end of the chunin exam. Chunin exam
I’m going to visit him when it’s over!”
"yes."
This ANBU ninja had no choice but to convey the order.
"..."
Hatake Kakashi was just silent about this. He probably knew that Akihara Kagura wanted to use force to force Hinata and Hizashi to resolve the dispute between the branch family and the main family. However, how could the internal affairs of the wealthy Konoha family be solved so easily?
"..."
Several Anbu realized something was wrong and quickly went to the Hokage Tower to inform the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, fearing that there would be big trouble.
However, Akihara Kagura didn't seem to feel that this was any trouble. She just lowered her head and continued to look at the bewildered people present, and announced that the qualifiers would continue.
"The exam continues."
"..."
There are still three candidates present who have not participated in the battle. It is obvious that one person will have a bye, but I don’t know whose head this luck will fall on.
The names of Akimichi Choci and Toss appeared on the lottery screen in the examination room. Akimichi Choci was not Toss's opponent, and he was sadly defeated. However, he didn't expect that the person who failed in the end turned out to be the lucky Gaara. Maybe
Gaara doesn't need this kind of luck either.
"Are there still so many people left?"
Akihara Kagura looked around at the people who passed the preliminaries, frowned and said: "Well, let's stop here. The main competition of the third test will be held in a month, because the leaders and nobles of other ninja villages
I will come here to watch your competition..."
"In this month, you should practice hard. You'd better behave brightly and don't lose the face of your respective villages, and don't cause trouble in the village, otherwise I may ban you from participating in the third party.
To qualify for the exam, or if I don’t like what you do, I might as well kill someone directly..."
"..."
These genin who had passed the preliminary round looked at Akihara Kagura with trepidation.
"Disband."
After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the group of guys to disperse, leaving only Xiang Ling with him.
Metkai and Rock Lee from Class 3 were still crying. Tiantian, who had recovered, could only comfort them with a headache: "Okay, okay, the Chuunin exams are held twice a year! Anyway, only Neji in our class passed.
Even though I didn’t pass the preliminaries, Li, please continue to participate with me next time!”
"good…"
Locke Li nodded with tears in his eyes.
Although I was eliminated inexplicably and was unable to prove my strength, it is not a bad thing. I can still accompany my teammates to take exams every day next time.
"..."
Hyuga Neji stood silently beside him.
The state of Class 8 is obviously a bit strange. Aburame Shino, who passed the exam, is missing, Kiba Inuzuka is still quarreling with Uzumaki Naruto, and Kurenai Yuhi is still accompanying Hyuga Hinata and is still recovering from her injuries.
As for Class 10…
Only Nara Shikamaru passed the exam.
However, the atmosphere in the examination room was not quite right. Sarutobi Asuma wisely left with his disciples, intending to start preparing his special training for Nara Shikamaru.
The other people in the Ninja Village soon left as well.
Just when Akihara Kagura was about to leave the venue with her, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hizashi, came to the venue and wanted to visit Akihara Kagura.
The head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hatsuzu, learned about the conflict between Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata in the Chunin Examination, which aroused the displeasure of Akihara Kagura, and immediately took a letter from his home and rushed over.
"It seems you have heard everything."
Akihara Kagura sat casually on a railing and looked at Hinata Hizashi who was coming over: "Originally I planned to visit after the chunin exam was over, but now that you are here, I just want to ask one thing, the clan family
When will the farce of family separation stop?"
"I came here to explain to Kagura-sama."
Hyuga Hizashi looked at Akihara Kagura and explained in a deep voice: "The main family and branch families are separated. Carving the mark of a caged bird on the head of the branch family is a method that has been passed down for thousands of years by the Hyuga clan..."
Hinata Hinashi frowned and continued in a low voice: "If we don't carve the caged bird, the clan will be deprived of the Byakugan Blood Successor, and the White Eye Blood Successor will not be able to do the same to the transplanted person as the Uchiha clan's Sharingan."
Major sequelae…”
Seriously speaking, the system of Hyuga clan and branch families is actually beneficial to Konoha, because most of the Hyuga clan who go out to perform tasks are members of branch families.
The heads of these people who were separated from the Hyuga clan were carved with the mark of the caged bird by the clan. From now on, they no longer have to worry about the Hyuga clan's bloodline boundary Byakugan being taken away.
If it weren't for this system, the Hyuga clan would have lost so many Byakugan during the war, and the ninja villages that had obtained the Byakugan would have used the Byakugan blood to cause so much trouble, not to mention that the transplantation of the Byakugan blood has no sequelae...
Strictly speaking, anyone can have a white eye transplant.
"A means of protection? From now on, everyone will be treated equally."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Hinata Hinashi, and continued softly: "Since it is a means to protect the Byakugan blood successor, you should also be a caged bird for yourself in the future!"
"..."
Hinata and Hinata were a little confused.
Although this kind of thing is beneficial to the easing of conflicts between the main family and the branch families of the Hyuga clan, it is at the expense of the main family. The main family has always prided itself on its noble status. If the mark of a caged bird like a slave is carved on the forehead, wouldn't it seem a bit...
Akihara Kagura, a high-ranking member of Konoha who was born in the Konoha Orphanage, is very able to understand the difference between nobles and commoners. The clan of the Hyuga clan is a serious aristocrat, and the branch family is the guardian of the clan. This is a matter of status within their family, not
One or two sentences can change...
"The Hyuga clan has been passed down for thousands of years..."
Hinata Hiashi's brows turned into a frown, not wanting to follow Akihara Kagura's method: "Once the clan also carves caged birds, it will cause the clan's authority to decline. The clan has been shouldering the heavy responsibility of passing on the Byakugan for generations, and the responsibilities of the clans have been divided from generation to generation.
Protect the clan and ensure its inheritance..."
"Wait a mininute."
Akihara Kagura signaled Hyuga Hizashi to pause, and explained according to his words: "Can I understand that the Hyuga clan wants to use a caged bird to control the branch family, so as to centralize the clan's authority and allow the branch clan to be loyal to the clan forever?"
Akihara Kagura thought for a while and asked curiously: "Why does this look a bit like Uchiha? Does your clan want to concentrate the power of the Hyuga clan to fight against the higher-ups in the village and resist their orders?"
"..."
Hinata and Hinata's brows tightened.
Everyone knows this psychologically and cannot say it out loud, right?
Although the Hyuga clan family does control the life and death of all branches and can use it to fight against the top leaders of Konoha, this kind of confrontation is a kind of game. You can't just say it like that, right?
Hinata Hizashi realized his mistake and felt that he should not come to Akihara Kagura, but should go to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to make peace.
Anyway…
Sarutobi Hiruzen is also a serious politician.
It's just that Akihara Kagura, a genius Wooden ninja, is obviously going to become the future Hokage of Konoha, so Hinata Hizu still wants to pay a visit, but she didn't expect that this guy would directly reveal his car and horse...
However, Akihara Kagura seemed to have caught Hinata and Hiashi's thoughts, and asked: "Or are you, the Hyuga clan, concentrating your power and trying to rebel like the Uchiha clan?"
"..."
Hyuga Hizashi shook his head, hoping that he could explain the relationship between Konoha and Hinata clearly: "The Hyuga clan has never thought about fighting against the higher-ups in the village, and has never disobeyed the orders of the higher-ups. The Hyuga clan is also one of the guardians of Konoha.
one…"
The Hyuga clan is not crazy like Uchiha!
What's more, the strength of the Hyuga clan is far inferior to that of the Uchiha. Where can they find the courage to fight against the high-level officials of Konoha? Even the high-level officials of Konoha can force him, the head of the clan, to commit suicide!
"You don't want to resist the orders of the higher-ups, nor have you ever thought about rebellion, nor have you ever thought about protecting the village..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Hinata and Hinashi, and seemed a little confused: "Then why do you need to gather strength? Are you worried that you will encounter enemies that are difficult to fight against? There is no need to do this, the village will protect you."
"..."
Hinata and Hinata were silent and unable to speak.
This future Hokage should not be so naive.
Konoha is the harbor of the Hyuga clan, and it is also the greatest danger to the Hyuga clan. Once the Hyuga clan cannot gather its strength, and Konoha deliberately harms the Hyuga clan during the war, and lets the Hyuga clan collectively step into a trap to die, what can the Hyuga clan do?
?
"You don't want to lift the caged bird from the Hinata family, and you don't want to carve a caged bird over the head of the Zong family..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Hinata and Hinashi, sighed and said: "The conflict between your clan's clan and branch families has reached this point. Even the conflict that broke out today made people in other villages laugh. What do the Hyuga clan want?
manage?"
"This incident all started because of Ningji..."
Hinata Hiashi let out a long sigh, shook his head and continued: "I want to see Neji's child first and talk to him alone..."
There is a letter in Hinata Hizu's hand.
The letter was left behind by his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi. The content of the letter was that Hyuga Hizashi voluntarily died for his brother, not for the so-called clan order.
"It's not Hinata Neji's problem now."
Akihara Kagura spread his palms and continued: "What we want to discuss now is that the Hyuga clan refuses to accept my proposal and attempts to control the life and death of everyone in the Hyuga clan forever and gather the power of the entire Hyuga clan.
It’s not a question of wanting a coup and rebellion…”
"..."
Hinata Hizu felt a little pain in his forehead.
I took the initiative to visit and come to solve the problem. I just let it go if the problem was not solved. Why was I still slapped with such a big label?
