The world of Naruto from modern times

The elderly patriarch, four direct descendants... I see.

For Miyuki, he has seen too many scenes like this in past TV series and novels. In fact, without Nizu's detailed explanation, he can probably guess what kind of environment is inside Otsutsuki now.

Generally speaking, the position of the patriarch of a family is theoretically inherited by the eldest son. However, in this world, there are not many families that rigidly follow the eldest son inheritance system. Big families still value the strength and talent of the heir more.

For example, in the original work, the first heir to the Hyuga clan is actually the eldest daughter Hinata, but Hizu never thought about letting her inherit the family business. Instead, he chose to train the much younger second lady Hanabi to inherit the family headship. Bit.

This kind of situation of abolishing the elder and establishing the younger can be said to be countless in the world of Naruto. Compared with the order, most families still care more about strength. After all, even if a idiot without strength inherits the seat of the clan leader, it will only lead the family into the abyss. That’s all.

However, from this perspective of strength theory, there will inevitably be more cases where families are torn apart due to competition for the position of patriarch. Even brothers who grew up together will face the temptation of the position of patriarch. It is also very likely that they will fight to the end or even kill each other.

As long as this kind of competition can be handled well, it will be fine. If it is not handled well, it will be a civil strife. Especially for a family as big as the Otsutsuki clan, if something happens, it will definitely not only affect the own clan, but may even affect others. Many foreigners were shot innocently.

While Yuxing was thinking, Rizu took a sip of wine and said drunkenly: "This year's Otsutsuki is in a lot of chaos... The eldest son is Ishiki, the second son is Momoshiki, and the third son is Ura Shiki. None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and each of them is running for the position of patriarch at all costs."

"...Wait a minute, what did you call them?"

"Isshiki, Momo Shiki and Ura Shiki, what's wrong?"

Forget it, I'm almost used to it. Anyway, in this parallel world, few things related to Otsutsuki are normal. It's not surprising that any monsters and monsters come out.

If hearing that his fiancée's name was Kaguya was enough to surprise Yuyuki for a long time, then the appearance of these three "Otsutsuki senior warriors" was at most a small shock in his heart, not even a splash. The kind that gets up.

However, at this time, Yuxing couldn't help but ask: "What does the struggle between these three guys over the position of the head of the family have to do with our Hyuga clan, and what does it have to do with the "Four Wealths"?"

"Of course, because the three brothers were not satisfied with just developing their own power within the Otsutsuki clan, so they began colluding with outsiders several years ago to try to establish their own power network outside."

"This...could it be said?"

"That's right." Immediately, Nizu gritted his teeth and said: "The three consortiums Shimura, Kaminarimon and Tenjin are supporters of Ishiki, Momoshi and Urashiki respectively. They seem to be not satisfied with the status of the "four wealth", trying to Take advantage of this east wind to climb to a higher altitude."

That's it...it's really a strong east wind.After understanding the reason here, Yu Xing couldn't help but snorted coldly.

The reason why the three major financial groups support the three Otsutsuki brothers is very simple. Just like the ministers in ancient times supported the princes in seizing the throne. Whoever supported the heir eventually became the unification, then this financial group will naturally become the founding hero, and it will be easy to rise to power.

Unlike the "Three Royals", the old wealthy families who have been content with the status quo for too long, the "Four Wealths" are obviously quite ambitious. They are a group of wealthy families that have only successfully emerged in the new era and are not satisfied with being a member of the Konoha Village. The local rich man hopes to continue to climb up with the help of Otsutsuki's power and reach a point where he can rule the world.

"In this case, three of the "four fortunes" support the three young masters, then does the last hand-made consortium support the eldest lady?"

When he thought of the woman he met in the student union room today who was sitting behind the president's desk and who was unusually calm even when facing his "confession", Yu Xing couldn't help but shook his head and tried to calm her down. That cold yet beautiful face was thrown out of his mind.

But Hizu immediately shook his head and said: "No, the Shoudai Consortium has never been involved in this kind of power struggle. They basically just continue to open ramen shops to make money. They have no interest in the internal struggles of the Otsutsuki clan and have already sworn to maintain neutral."

"As the eldest lady, Kaguya Otsutsuki doesn't have any external forces outside."

"It used to be there, but now it's gone."

"What's the meaning"

"Originally, there should be a big family behind her, but unfortunately that family went bankrupt a month ago."

"What a garbage family, how easy it is to go bankrupt... Hey, wait, this isn't our family, right?"

Speaking of big families, you can count them all with ten fingers in Konoha. Among the big families that went bankrupt a month ago, the only big family that is so embarrassing is Hinata. There is simply no semicolon.

Yes, why didn't I think of it? Kaguya and I have an engagement. If she and I really get married in the future, she will naturally get the full support of the Hyuga clan. In this case, she may also compete for the position of clan leader.

Thinking of this, Yu Xing lowered his head and asked in a low tone: "So in order to prevent us from supporting Kaguya to seize the position of the head of the family, Isshiki, Momo Shiki and Ura Shiki first joined forces with the three consortiums to remove her backers. , destroyed our family, this is the fundamental reason."

"That's right, this is a real internal and external trouble. Whether it's calculated or not, we have no chance to resist."

After a month of thinking, Rizu realized that although the family's collapse seemed to have happened overnight, it was actually the result of someone else's calculations that had started some time ago.

The most frightening thing is that the people who plotted against them also included the three young clan leaders of the Otsutsuki clan and the three major financial groups of Konoha. There was a clear division of labor between the inside and the outside. That's strange.

After understanding the ins and outs of everything, Yu Xing picked up the beer in his hand and drank it in one gulp. He turned to Rizu with a gloomy face and smiled: "...Father, it's late at night, go back and rest."

"Well, the reason I didn't tell you these things before is because I don't want you to get involved in these chaos. After all, when it comes to such a huge power struggle, a few lives are nothing. If you step in carelessly, you will be eaten to your bones. There’s nothing left.”

"Understood, they are all murderous bastards. Don't mess with them if you don't have any skills. I already know this very well."

"It's good if you think so. After all, as long as you and Hinata can live well and our family's bloodline can continue, I will be satisfied. As for reviving the family business...it depends on God's will."

After sighing, Rizu finished the beer in his hand and quietly grabbed two unopened bottles before staggering downstairs.

However, just when Rizu's figure disappeared, Yuxing, who was leaning against the wall and looking at the floor alone, finally raised his head. A pair of white pupils exuding red murderous intent looked directly at the sky hanging all over the sky. stars.

Okay... Okay, you guys are afraid that I will be too comfortable in this world, so you have to make something happen, isn't it good? I... like it very much.

There was a crunching sound, and the beer can that Yu Xing was holding in his hand actually disappeared, as if by magic.

The next moment, countless gravels as fine as dust slowly fell from his fingers. If they had not seen the previous scene, I am afraid no one would believe that this was actually the product of someone pinching out a beer can with one palm.
