'No, my father's matter has been settled. Hokage-sama forced the ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village to escort his father's remains to the cemetery for burial. Is there anything I need to do?'
‘Can I really help Hokage-sama?’ A series of questions emerged in Neji’s mind.
He looked at the members of the Crow Club beside him. The Crow Club had very strict confidentiality rules, and in the ninja school, they also received relevant confidentiality education.
Neji has a cautious and calm personality and didn't ask anything until he arrived at the Hokage Building.
"Hokage-sama is waiting for you inside, go in." The ninja from the Crow Division said coldly.
Neji didn't know whether his voice was born like this or acquired. Only when he read the words 'Hokage-sama', he could hear obvious fluctuations.
Its name is fanaticism.
Ningji, who was extremely nervous, raised his hand and knocked on the door. Qianye's voice came from behind the door:
"The door is unlocked, please come in."
Hyuga Neji took a deep breath and opened the door. A dazzling light exploded in front of his eyes. After two seconds of adaptation, the scene in his eyes became clear.
Directly opposite the room door is a large desk.
This table is quite old.
It has existed since the beginning of the Hokage Building's construction and has not been replaced until today.
There are various documents on the table.
Behind the mountain of documents sat a young and outrageous boy.
He just bathed in the light and quietly handled government affairs.
Neji knew that this young and shameless boy was the Fifth Hokage.
This is the Fifth Hokage who stood up to save the Uchiha clan at the most dangerous moment. This is the Fifth Hokage who single-handedly pushed the wave of the ninja world!
Without him, all ninjas would still be struggling in the darkness.
Hinata Neji's eyes quickly swept over and then quickly looked away, fearing that staying for a second longer would be an offense to Qianye.
He wanted to see who else Qianye had summoned.
The result was beyond his expectation.
He and Qianye were the only two people in this office.
Hinata Neji walked in and knelt on one knee in front of the desk:
"Hyuga Neji meets with Hokage-sama."
Because he was summoned by Qianye alone, Neji was very excited, and his voice trembled when he spoke.
"Neji-kun, you're here, get up and talk."
In private, Qianye didn't have the sharpness and pressure he felt when giving speeches, and was very easy-going.
"This place is so shabby, so I have to force you to drink boiled water with me."
Boiled water is a familiar term that cannot be more familiar.
Those barefoot doctors have been using this word a lot lately.
It is said that raw water cannot be drunk directly, as there are a lot of bacteria in it, and drinking it will induce various diseases. The great Hokage advocated that everyone drink water after boiling and letting it cool. For the convenience of publicity, it was simply simplified to boiled water.
No one paid much attention to the first half of the Barefoot Doctor promotion.
The same goes for Neji.
They have been drinking this water since they were little, and nothing has happened to them.
It’s very troublesome to think about drinking it after boiling it.
However, what they mentioned in the second half is the sentence "Hokage-sama advises everyone to boil it before drinking" as a guideline.
The preachers and barefoot doctors immediately took this as an entry point and kept saying that Hokage-sama usually drinks cold boiled water instead of raw water.
What works is effective.
Ever since, the trend of drinking cold drinks spread in Konoha.
Even the most lazy person knows that this water must be boiled before drinking.
This is only a small aspect of Qianye's influence.
"Hokage-sama, a cold white drink is enough. My favorite is a cold white drink." Hinata Neji was flattered as he held the water glass handed to him by Qianye.
"Hahaha, Ningci-kun, don't be cautious. I came to you today because I want to know something from you."
Hyuga Neji's face turned pale, and his waist was very straight:
"As long as I know, I will tell you everything!"
"What kind of explanation is there?" Qianye laughed dumbly: "Ningji-kun is not a prisoner. I just want to communicate with you today."
"What do you think of Neji-kun's system of dividing the clan?" Qianye sat down and took a sip of cold water attentively.
Hinata Neji was first surprised, then overjoyed.
He noticed something keenly.
This keenness made Neji afraid to speak casually.
"Hokage-sama, can I think about it before answering?"
"Of course, I would like to know what Neji-kun thinks of the Hyuga clan's family division system."
Many thoughts flashed through Hyuga Neji's mind.
What does he think of the Hyuga clan's clan separation system?
This system killed his father and even killed many people who separated from his family.
This system causes many babies to be labeled from the moment they are born.
Before they could speak, they were put into a cage and became one of the little birds.
The master carries the birdcage, and wherever the master goes, they will follow.
If the owner is unhappy and takes it out on them, they will have no choice but to endure it silently.
Just because they are caged birds.
He has wings but cannot fly high.
Screaming all day long.
Lifeless.
People who have never lost their freedom cannot appreciate the value of freedom.
'So,' Hyuga Neji asked himself silently in his mind: 'What do I think of such a system?'
Hinata Neji has the answer:
"Hokage-sama, this system is a very bad and despicable system. We, the Separate Family, are the victims of this system!"
"I, I," Hyuga Neji clenched his fists, thinking of his father who died tragically and was used as a scapegoat, he gritted his teeth and said: "I want to overthrow this system, just like you overthrew the tyranny of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
!”
Bang bang bang.
Qianye waited for Hinata Neji to finish speaking and applauded him:
"Neji-kun is worthy of being Mr. Hizashi's son. He is brave and upright."
Hearing Qianye praise his father, Hyuga Neji felt sweeter than eating honey.
All he heard was:
'Your father's death is deserved.'
'Hizashi didn't do many great things in his life. This is the only major thing he accomplished. He defended the dignity of the clan and protected the family's major events.'
'Ningji, from now on you must be like your father and protect the masters of the clan.'
People said this to him.
In everyone's opinion, his father has not made any achievements. The only thing worthy of praise is that he sacrificed himself on behalf of the Zong family and protected the dignity of the Zong family without letting the Zong family's eyes shine.
Ridiculous, so ridiculous.
After suddenly hearing Qianye praising his father, Neji's eyes immediately turned red. Tears welled up in his eyes:
"Hokage-sama, thank you, thank you for having such a high opinion of father."
"Ningji, your father is undoubtedly a hero, but if the system of the Hyuga family can be changed, if the Sarutobi regime can be tougher, your father will not have to sacrifice."
These words reached Hinata Neji's heart, and he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his eyes:
"Hokage-sama, you are absolutely right. If our clan's system could be changed and if the Sarutobi regime could be tougher, my father would not have died."
"Can this day really come true?" Hinata Neji asked blankly.
This is not only asking Qianye, but also asking myself.
Can I really keep the fire?
Can we really see this kind of fire turn into a prairie fire one day in the future, burning everything to ashes?
Difficult, too difficult.
His life is too short.
But the Hyuga clan has inherited it for thousands of years!
His life is not even a fraction of the long history of the Hyuga clan.
Is there really hope?
Very slim.
Qianye saw the confusion in Neji's eyes. He raised his arms and crossed his hands:
"Neji-kun, are you talking about the reform of the Hyuga clan system?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"This day will definitely come. Nothing in the world remains unchanged."
Qianye suddenly stood up, his eyes as clear and bright as hard rock:
"I have been in Konoha for decades, and I have overthrown the Sarutobi regime that holds the overall situation in check. This world belongs to us, not them."
"They are old and decayed. They are already dead bones in the grave. The tide of the times is rolling under our feet. The future of the ninja world will definitely belong to us."
"We?" Neji muttered and repeated the word.
"That's right, us." Qianye raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Ningji-kun, as long as we take action, there is nothing in the world that we cannot do."
"Lord Hokage, do you also want to change the system of the Hyuga clan?"
Qianye gave himself a banner of great honor:
"After I became the Fifth Hokage, I deeply understood how barbaric and cruel the system of dividing the clans of the Hyuga clan was.
We are all free and equal from the day we are born."
"The Zong family has enslaved your separate families for thousands of years."
"I have no control over such things in other places, but in Konoha, I cannot tolerate such cruel and barbaric things happening under my nose after a thousand years!"
Qianye's voice was extremely determined.
It seemed that he was just for the liberation of the family and had no other bad intentions.
What bad intentions could he, Uchiha Chiya, have?
It was just a pure desire to save the branch family that was enslaved by the clan.
"Hokage-sama, what can I do?"
After Qianye made his voice, Neji's confusion disappeared.
He firmly believes that with the participation of the Fifth Hokage, the tragedy of the Hyuga clan will definitely be changed!
This trust is blind and without reason.
It is a small microcosm of the residents of Konoha.
Everyone blindly followed Qianye's guidance and blindly trusted everything Qianye said.
"What you have to do is very simple, expand the scale of the seminar, and use your father's name when the time is right."
"Use my father's name?"
Neji chewed on this sentence, thinking about what mystery it contained.
"If it is Mr. Hizashi, I think he must hope to see his son overthrow the deformed system of the Hyuga clan."
Hyuga Neji didn't expect Qianye's thoughts to be so delicate, and he was extremely moved.
Ningci clenched his fists and looked resolutely:
"Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will definitely implement your will resolutely!"
"Ningji-kun, the situation is urgent. I won't stay with you any longer. In order to protect your personal safety, I will send the ninja from the Crow Division to protect you secretly. I look forward to hearing good news from you."
After hearing this, Hyuga Neji couldn't wait to leave here.
Qianye stood by the window, watching Neji disappear, then leaned against the guardrail and said:
"Your true identity, do you want to leave such an important matter to only Hyuga Neji alone?"
That's right, the person who just communicated with Neji was not Qianye's true form, but the shadow clone he had summoned before.
The fewer people who know about Qianye’s eyes, the better.
Qianye walked out of the shadows: "Of course it's impossible to leave everything like this to Neji Hyuga alone."
What exactly is Qianye going to do?
What he has to do is very simple, that is, let the Hyuga clan hold a referendum on their own to make the branch independent!
The independent branch families are like duckweeds without roots. They can only survive in Konoha and the Land of Fire by relying on the big tree Qianye.
To achieve this goal, it is impossible without the combined efforts of multiple parties.
The reason why Neci was summoned alone was because Neci had strong appeal and influence among the children of the separated family.
Some people may wonder what a group of children can accomplish.
It’s true that a group of kids can’t accomplish much.
Their abilities, experience, and knowledge are there.
However, they can in turn affect their parents, their grandparents, and their entire family!
We have always emphasized the terrible and harsh living environment of the ninja world, which is a very important point.
Such a living environment has caused the ninja world's ideas to be very similar to those of previous generations.
People value penetration, reproduction, future generations, family, and society.
This is collective social culture, which is very different from Western individualism.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
Can those parents really bear to see their children being marked with the curse of a caged bird and becoming a slave animal driven by the clan?
There is a very magical phenomenon in nature. When the living environment becomes harsh to a certain extent, they will stop breeding and actively reduce the number of the population.
And so are humans.
When they awaken to wisdom and see new possibilities for their descendants, they will take the initiative to make changes.
Our lives have come to an end, and what the future holds can be seen at a glance.
But you are different, and you can still get a brand new future.
In order to seize this hope, they will take the initiative to make changes!
Of course, without human promotion, this change will be very slow.
Therefore, Qianye would stand up and give them a small push from behind.
Let the Hyuga clan complete the referendum and help the separate families gain independence.
