After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"Optimistic?"

Yusuke looked at the Hyuga clan leader in confusion.

"Yusuke, many of the Uchiha clan, as well as Ino-Shika-Chou, are on your side, right?"

He suddenly took a step forward, walked quickly towards another place without looking back, as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing this, Youjie frowned slightly and hurriedly caught up, keeping his eyes fixed on him all the time, afraid to miss any subtle expression.

"The Hyuga clan, are you planning to take sides now?" Yusuke's voice was neither loud nor low, but it was filled with doubt.

The Hyuga clan leader stopped, turned around, looked at Yusuke with a steady gaze, and said slowly: "When Hyuga Reine and Hyuga Hiroya became your subordinates, perhaps in the eyes of many people, the two of them were our Hyuga clan's investment in you." His tone was calm, but with a hint of certainty.

Yusuke narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and responded softly: "However, this is not the case."

"It is still possible today. As long as Hyuga Reine can always be by your side, whether as your wife or as your most trusted subordinate, it is impossible for you to treat the Hyuga clan worse than the Uchiha clan."

The Hyuuga clan leader continued forward, standing straight with his hands behind his back and speaking.

"So it's because of the Uchiha clan that you feel pressured? But, what if I can't become Hokage in the end, then wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?" Yusuke asked with his arms folded across his chest, looking puzzled.

The Hyuga clan leader smiled and said firmly: "In Konoha, the ones most likely to become Hokage are none other than you guys, and you are the one that everyone is most optimistic about right now."

"In that case, what can both of us gain from the cooperation?" Yusuke's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he tilted his head slightly and asked.

"It won't be long before Hiashi will take over the position of clan leader. Perhaps, I won't be able to wait until the day when you wear the Hokage robe.

Therefore, I will use the time I have left to plan a better future for the Hyuga clan. And you will have the full support of the Hyuga clan in the future."

Before they knew it, they had reached the gate. Yusuke looked at him in confusion, "Hyuga clan leader, are you going to see us off?"

"Yusuke, the choice is yours. If you agree, then come in with me. If the Hyuga clan is no longer needed, you can leave now. I will still help you deal with the impact you and Reine have caused."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind only a determined back.

Yusuke hesitated for a moment, then followed closely.

However, of the four people in the Great Elder's House, some sat silently, while others looked at the door from time to time, all waiting quietly.

After a while, Yusuke and the other man stepped into the house again.

"Clan leader!"

"Great Elder, let Lingyin's affairs be left to her own devices. From now on, Watanabe Yusuke will become a guest of honor of the Hyuga clan and enjoy the highest level of treatment."

The Hyuga clan leader spoke very quickly and informed everyone of the decision without waiting for them to react.

As the great elder opened his mouth in astonishment, the clan leader turned to look at Yusuke, smiled and raised his hand to signal, "Yusuke, you must stay tonight. The Hyuga clan is quite knowledgeable about food."

"Okay. Sorry to bother you then." Yusuke agreed readily.

......

At night, after Yusuke left the Hyuga clan, three figures came to the clan leader's study almost at the same time.

"Father!" Hiashi stepped in with a worried look on his face. Hiashi followed behind him with a frown on his face.

Hinata Reine followed silently at the end, her eyes calm, yet revealing a hint of determination.

"I'm sorry for wronging you, Lingyin!"

The clan leader leaned back in his chair, his eyes full of pity, and spoke guiltily to Hinata Reine. As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing. He covered his mouth with his hands and his body trembled slightly.

"Chief, for the future of the Hyuga clan, what's more, I have been following him outside the family. For me, this may be the best ending." Hinata Reine changed her usual quiet demeanor, her eyes were firm and her tone was cold.

"Yes, even the arrogant Uchiha was subdued by him. If we don't stand in line now, the Hyuga clan may not have such a comfortable life after I'm gone." The clan leader lowered his head slightly, a look of unwillingness emerging on his face.

"But we don't have to take sides, and we have to make Reine a vassal of Yusuke." Hinata Hizashi stepped forward, clenched his fists, and said excitedly, "What if Yusuke fails?"

“It is impossible for every choice to be 100% correct, but the best thing we can do is to minimize the risk of error.

Lingyin, I hope you will assist Yusuke wholeheartedly in the future, so that the family can be preserved at least during the reign of the Fourth Hokage." The clan leader held a silk scarf, covered his mouth, raised his head, and looked at Lingyin sincerely.

"But even if we don't support Yusuke, he won't necessarily do anything to us." Hinata Hizashi was still a little confused and paced back and forth in the room anxiously, "Even if he targets us, aren't we the only ones who are not afraid of resistance?"

"How do you think the Senju clan disappeared? And do you know why the Uchiha clan fully supports Yusuke?"

The patriarch slammed the table excitedly. As he spoke, he began to cough violently and his whole body shook.

"Father, why don't you let Lady Tsunade help you with the treatment." Hinata Hiashi hurried forward, gently patted his father's back, and looked at him with a worried look on his face.

“Since it can’t be cured, it’s better to let you take over the affairs of the clan as soon as possible while you can still move.

Hizashi, Reine, I may have to trouble you to assist Hiashi more in the future."

Then, he looked at the blocked foreheads of the two people and sighed heavily, "For the caged birds of the two of you, please do not vent your resentment on Hiashi. After all, even I can't do anything about it."

Hizashi and Reine looked at each other, nodded, and said in unison, "I understand."

"Rizu, starting tomorrow, all matters of the tribe will be in your hands. Don't disturb me at will during this time. I can finally relax, eat more delicious food, and do things I like."

As he spoke, his eyes were already looking at the dark sky outside the window, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing his longing for free time in the future.

"Father, do you mean that just doing this will relieve your symptoms?"

Hinata Hiashi's eyes were anxious and he held his father's arm tightly with both hands.

"No, I mean we should enjoy it while we still have time, so we won't end up with regrets."

The clan leader smiled sheepishly and patted Rizu's hand.
