Tsunade, you're really drunk!

The Eighth Elder's emotional words seemed to be right, which made the First Elder and the Third Elder secretly happy, but the Seventh Elder on the side was furious.

He jumped up from the mat.

"You don't want to live anymore!?"

"If Hokage-sama and Qianye knew this, not only would you die, but our entire Hyuga would be implicated!"

"Although I don't think firearms are very useful, this mission was approved by the Hokage, and it specifically requires our Hyuga clan to complete it."

"Since the founding of Konoha, what else can we Hyuga do besides relying on the Byakugan's surveying advantage to guard the border?"

"I think you are going backwards as you grow older. When the Byakugan was lost, it was because of Hiruzen and Danzo's incompetence. In Konoha today, are you still worried that the Byakugan will be taken away by someone else? At the end of the Chunin Exam, who among those Kage dared to stand in front of Qianye?"

"We don't need to worry about firearms. Even if Qianye wants to play ninja house, we Hinatas have to play with him. Do you understand, you idiot?"

The Seventh Elder directly criticized the Eighth Elder, causing the Eighth Elder's face to turn red and he wanted to open his mouth to refute.

As the saying goes, lies hurt no one, but the truth cuts through. These straightforward words sobered the other wavering elders up from their "Celestial Dragon" dreams.

Rizu was secretly delighted.

Start quarreling, start quarreling! I want to see a river of blood! The more you quarrel, the easier it will be for me to take advantage of the chaos to achieve my goal. You guys better just roll your eyes and start fighting!

The Eighth Elder was about to open his mouth to refute, but the Second Elder raised his hand to stop him.

"Old Eight, we have just listened to your opinion. There is no need to argue without objection. Please sit down."

"And Old Seven, you too, you are so old, why are you as irritable as a young man? Can't you just calm down and talk it out? We are all family."

"Although what you said is right, there is no need to be so excited. Sit down first, Lao Liu, and you can speak."

After the Eighth Elder and the Seventh Elder sat down, their eyes continued to meet, as if they were cursing at each other with their souls...

The Sixth Elder began to tell the story calmly and leisurely.

"To be honest, I happened to see Neji tinkering with firearms once. I even used my Byakugan to observe him training."

"That firearm requires extremely high chakra control. Apart from Neji, I'm afraid it would require at least a Hyuga ninja with the strength of a special jonin who can perform the Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms to use it."

"The soft fist of our Hyuga clan can't have much impact. Weak ninjas can't use it. For strong ninjas, we main clan ninjas can resist it with Kaiten. I guess only the ninjas from the branch clans would study those things to increase their strength."

"Why not just follow the request from above and send more than 200 branches to carry out the mission? Anyway, they have firearms and pose no threat to us. What's more, we still have the bird in the cage."

The Sixth Elder's wise remarks immediately won the approval of the other four elders. Even the Third Elder was a little hesitant at this moment.

What the Sixth Old Man said is right. It's worth my efforts to win him over recently. He is indeed forward-looking and knows how to control the servants of the branch family. This alone is enough to prove that he will definitely join the camp of the Great Elder in the future!

And Ri Zu, who was standing aside, was extremely surprised.

Oh my god! This is simply... simply a savior sent by God! Sixth Elder, I wronged you, you are the fifth wolf in Werewolf! The prophet among the werewolves! (Twelve-player Werewolf, four wolves)

Next, the fifth elder, the fourth elder, and the third elder took turns speaking, but none of them had any particularly subjective opinions. The wavering intentions in their words were very obvious. They didn't want to carry out this mission, but they also didn't want to offend Qian Ye.

Abbreviation: Trouble stirrer.

Ri Zu once felt that except for the second elder, his uncle, all the other elders were hateful and each had his own little worries.

But now it seems that they are not ugly at all, they are all so cute!

His uncle was his wolf teammate, the Sixth Elder, Old Six. If he didn’t know very well that the Sixth Elder was an extremely strict person towards the branch family, he might have thought that he was the third wolf!

As for the other elders, three of them have senses, and the rest are fools. It’s simply God helping me!

The day of liberation of the Hyuga clan is just around the corner, it's right before our eyes!

Just when Ri Zu was feeling secretly happy, it was finally the second elder's turn to speak.

The second elder swept his eyes across the crowd and finally stopped at the first elder, as if the next words were meant for the first elder.

"Everyone, my next words may sound a little harsh, but these are all honest words that may hurt your ears, so please listen carefully."

"We in the Hyuga clan have never had any top-notch strongmen. The Byakugan is our best gift, but it is also our biggest limitation. The Hyuga clan has never had a ninja like the Uchiha and Senju who can dominate the entire era."

"We rely on finding reliable allies we can depend on!"

"During the Warring States Period, we and the Kaguya clan were distant relatives and helped each other."

"Later, we joined Konoha and relied on the advantages of the Byakugan to achieve our current success."

"Now that we have this opportunity, our Hyuga clan will gain more honor and voice in Konoha. Are you going to give it up?"

"Do you really think that your life is good now? When Hiruzen was in power, there was still a saying in the village that the Hyuga was the strongest eye-jutsu family in Konoha. Is it still the case now!?"

"Not to mention surpassing the current Uchiha, don't you even have the ambition to continue trying new things? Are you doing justice to the ninjas who died in the shrine?"

The heavy words were directly engraved on everyone's heart. It had nothing to do with the main family or the branch of the family, but only concerned the honor of the family. This was the speech of the second elder.

And Rizu could also feel the sad thoughts in his uncle's heart.

Like a bird in a cage, the upper limit of the entire Hyuga is strictly restricted. The main family has no ambition to make progress and enjoys a luxurious and safe life, while the branch family has no dignity and is enslaved. How can such a Hyuga produce any strong people?

Even though they have such a powerful bloodline as the Byakugan, and even though they have several times more bloodline ninjas than the Uchiha, no truly powerful ninja has ever been born. The source of this tragic situation is the bird in the cage.

As he was thinking about it, Rizu suddenly had the urge to involve his uncle in the plan, but he quickly put the idea to rest.

For the Zong family, this was a rebellious act that would destroy the family's foundation. Although his uncle had no intention of paying attention to the affairs of the Zong family and the branch family, he did not dare to gamble, and could not gamble. He could only wait and see how his uncle would react...

At this moment, the Great Elder on the side glared at the Second Elder, his face flushed with anger.

"Second brother, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that our Hyuga clan is not strong enough!?"

"Even during the Warring States Period, we were the second most powerful ninja clan after the Senju and Uchiha clans. A few years ago, we surpassed the Uchiha clan. It's just that in recent years, a guy like Uchiha Qianye has appeared."

"What's the difference between what you said and treason!?"

The second elder had a calm expression and glanced at the first elder.

"Senju Tsunade, Uchiha Chiye, let's not talk about the present, let's talk about the past."

"Senju Butsuma, Uchiha Tajima, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna, these are the famous strong men in the ninja world before the establishment of Konoha. They are geniuses far beyond other ninjas in the ninja world. Have we ever had them in Hyuga?"

"Would you like me to tell you about the ancient history of the Warring States Period and the powerful men of the Senju and Uchiha clans?"

"But I'm afraid that the Great Elder doesn't have the hobby of reading ancient books on weekdays. After all, flowers and plants are your favorite things."

"you!!!!"

The Great Elder's face turned red with anger, but he could not refute it because he was famous for liking flowers and plants, and the Hyuga clan had indeed never produced any genius ninjas...

In the end, Hiashi initiated a vote. The eight elders and Hiashi voted a total of nine times, with a vote of 7:2, agreeing to send two hundred Hyuga branches to carry out the mission.

Even after the Second Elder and the First Elder had another verbal sparring match, a simple and honest communication, the number increased to three hundred.

With a narrow lead of 5:4 votes...

ps: Regarding Hyuga Tennin, there are many fan creations that say this. I looked up the information and the Chinese translation is Hyuga Tennin, but the English translation is Hyuga's genius ninja. Although I don't understand Japanese very well, I have been watching anime for many years. The meaning of the character の in Japanese is "of", so it should be "Hyuga's genius ninja bloodline" (at least that's how I understand it, and that's how it's set in this book~), and there is no such character as Hyuga Tennin in the Book of Formations (Uchiha Tajima and Senju Butsuma are Madara and Hashirama's fathers)

Finally, I ask for gifts and urge you to update. I love you~
