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.
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.
At his current age, he is able to activate the three Magatama Sharingan, which is an incredible talent.
"thank you teacher."
"You don't need to thank me. In fact, your own will is strong enough. Even without me, you will become a strong person who can stand alone.
Even, as a teacher, you still need a certain degree of help from you."
Uchiha Shisui slowly exhaled.
He just feels a little sad, but after sharing some things with others, he will digest it much easier, not to mention that he may have been sitting here alone to digest it for a long time.
"Let's go, you have just been promoted to Sanmagatama, and you need to study hard for a while before you can use these eyes flexibly.
You know, the power of the three magatama Sharingan is not comparable to that of the double magatama."
"good!"
The awakening and promotion of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan actually has little to do with physical strength. What the Sharingan relies on is the strength of the spirit and heart.
The stronger the heart and the stronger the spirit, the stronger the ability of the Sharingan will be.
As for the chakra fed back when the Sharingan is promoted, it can only be regarded as a bonus.
Uchiha Shisui has just awakened the three Magatama Sharingan, so it is understandable that the Sharingan, which was originally used freely, is difficult to return to its normal state.
"Before that, let's take Itachi with us. Since his younger brother was born, this little guy has focused most of his energy on his younger brother."
Shiren couldn't help but sigh.
How come everyone in the Uchiha clan is a disciple?
Uchiha Madara is like this, and Uchiha Itachi is like this too.
Is it true that having younger brothers will make you stronger?
Two people, one large and one small, were walking on the street of the Uchiha clan.
Along the way, Shisui was unable to restrain his three-magatama sharingan, so many passing Uchiha clan members also saw Shisui's three-magatama sharingan when greeting Toneri.
They all showed surprised expressions.
How old is Shisui now?
He's only thirteen or fourteen years old at most, right?
At such an age, the three-magatama Sharingan is activated. In the entire history of the Uchiha clan, there are very few three-magatama users of this age.
Shisui was already known as a genius among the Uchiha clan, and after becoming the disciple of Toneri, the Fourth Hokage, he was even more highly expected. Unexpectedly, he was actually promoted to the Three Magatama Sharingan.
This undoubtedly gave the Uchiha clan another eager expectation.
Toneri was not surprised by this. With Uchiha Shisui's talent, even in this ninja world where geniuses are everywhere, he is still a very good one.
On the other hand, Shisui was praised by so many people and looked at with such surprised eyes, which undoubtedly made him feel a little shy.
Fortunately, the distance from the Shisui family to the Uchiha Fugaku family is not that far.
Since Toneri helped him take control of the Uchiha clan's elders last time, Uchiha Fugaku has successfully succeeded as the clan leader, and at the same time, he has also successfully taken most of the power of the Uchiha clan into his own hands.
After gaining power, Uchiha Fugaku did not have any bad thoughts.
Because he could clearly feel the gap in strength between himself and Toneri.
Especially after becoming Hokage, the Uchiha clan no longer has the power to compete with Toneri.
Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku decided that since it was impossible to resist Toneri, he would just obey.
And it became even more so when he learned that Uchiha Madara was really alive. In order to fight against Uchiha Madara, the Uchiha clan needed an absolutely strong person to protect him.
Sheren is undoubtedly the most suitable.
The Uchiha clan is arrogant, but their arrogance has its limits.
Almost everyone in the Uchiha clan would not object to assisting Toneri, because Toneri is also a user of the Sharingan, and the Mangekyō Sharingan is more powerful than them.
This gave them a better outlet for their arrogance, and what they assisted was none other than the Mangekyō Sharingan of their Uchiha clan.
So this time against the rampaging Kyuubi, the Uchiha clan also used all their abilities.
"Hokage-sama."
As the leader of the Uchiha clan, there are still two Uchiha members guarding the door of Uchiha Fugaku's house.
"Please tell Fugaku..."
"The Yondaime!"
Just as Toneri finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku walked out with Mikoto and Uchiha Itachi holding a baby.
Seeing that all four members of their family actually came out, Shiren was more or less surprised.
"Let's go, go in quickly, Mikoto just gave birth not long ago, don't come out to enjoy the wind.
Itachi, take your brother and mother and go into the house quickly, I have something to say to your father, Shisui, you go too."
"Okay, teacher!"
"I'm sorry." Uchiha Mikoto bowed slightly and walked towards the house with Shisui's support.
Smiling, he watched them return to the room, while Toner and Uchiha Fugaku walked towards the courtyard.
"Fugaku, what's wrong? You don't seem very satisfied with your second son?" Toneri looked at him with a straight face.
As he gets older, the corners of Uchiha Fugaku's mouth tend to droop more and more, and he no longer has the high-spirited look he had when he was young.
"Sigh... Sasuke's potential is still far behind Itachi's." Uchiha Fugaku said with a sigh.
Ever since he learned about the existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku put the burden of opening the Mangekyo Sharingan on his sons, especially Uchiha Itachi.
"You guy, don't be too dissatisfied. Think about your own talents. You are absolutely lucky to be able to give birth to Itachi. Although Sasuke is not as talented as Itachi now, I believe that with Itachi's help, in the future
I will definitely not be weaker than you in strength."
What's this?
Isn't this a typical example of getting a good deal and still being nice?
Just like every time when I asked the top student about his score after the exam, he would say with regret, "What a pity, I only got 99 points this time. I thought I could get 100 points."
After hearing such words, I guess there are probably not many students who wouldn’t want to beat him up, right?
This is what Uchiha Fugaku is like now.
One Uchiha Itachi is already good enough, and with the addition of the second pillar, if Uchiha Fugaku knew the upper limit of the second pillar, he would definitely be able to laugh out of his dreams.
"Yes, I am too greedy. Itachi is already good enough. It would be great if Sasuke could assist his brother in the future." Uchiha Fugaku nodded thoughtfully.
Toneri rolled his eyes at him, "Maybe Shisui will awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan first in the future..."
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up, "Shisui has already opened the Three Magatama Sharingan. At his current age, there is no chance that he will be able to open the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future.
In this way, with Shisui and Itachi, our Uchiha clan will finally usher in a new improvement?"
"Just take your time and fantasize."
With that said, Toneri sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Uchiha Fugaku retracted his saliva and almost lost his composure in front of Toneri, losing his great image as the leader of the Uchiha clan.
"Ahem, Master Sheren, you are here this time..."
Seeing that he finally got back to business, Toneri said angrily: "I originally just wanted to take Itachi for training, but I didn't know you would greet me with such a big battle. I have no choice but to talk to you about business."
After a moment of pause, he continued: "You will report the losses of your Uchiha clan this time. Although there may not be any compensation, I believe that your Uchiha clan is not lacking. I will let the Konoha newspaper publicize your Uchiha clan.
The contribution you made to the Nine-Tails incident this time can be regarded as helping you restore your image in the eyes of everyone in Konoha."
Hearing Toneri say this, Uchiha Fugaku's face immediately showed joy.
"By the way, there is one more thing. You also know about the ANBU expansion. I just went to the Hinata family and asked for ten white-eyed ninjas from the Hyuga clan from the old head of the Hinata clan.
You Uchiha clan should also show your support."
"No problem, our Uchiha clan can also provide ten people."
Uchiha Fugaku was much more straightforward.
The current Uchiha clan has a relatively large number of family members. If there are only ten chuunin, it will not be difficult.
"By the way, I need to open my eyes."
If you don't open your eyes, it will be useless if the people come.
Isn't the most important thing about the Uchiha clan their Sharingan?
Uchiha Fugaku was not so decisive this time. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
