After carefully calculating the accounts, Mute patted his chest and said to Hyōjin with a smile on his face: "Hyōjin, I will talk to Tsunade -sama about Yue's apprenticeship, you can rest assured, I don't think it will be a big problem!"
Kuroto is originally a Konoha Shinobi, whether it is age or family background, both are impeccable. If not for this, Tsunade wouldn't accept a person with unknown background as an apprentice no matter how high the price is.
Hyōjin nodded: "Well, then I'll leave it to you!"
After saying goodbye to Mute, Hyōjin pondered a little, and then walked slowly towards the Hyuga Clan Mansion.
Because the murderer who murdered the elder of the Hyuga Clan has not been caught, and Hyōjin has publicly questioned the traditions of the Hyuga Clan, many members of the Hyuga Clan are very dissatisfied, so in order to avoid intensifying the conflict between the Hyuga Clan and the branch clan, during the period of Hyōjin's injury, the Hyuga Clan did not send anyone to visit him in a high-profile manner.
But in private, whether it is Patriarch Hiashi or Richa, both conveyed their concern to Hyōjin through Yue.
Originally, at this juncture, Hyōjin didn't want to get involved in the troubles of the Hyuga Clan. After all, it is not the best time to reorganize the Hyuga Clan and clean up the die-hards. But considering that Yue apprenticeship with Tsunade is also a good thing for the Hyuga Clan, so Hyōjin feels that the Hyuga Clan should bear some of the expenses of apprenticeship.
Of course, the most important reason is that Hyōjin really has no money in his hands.
As soon as he entered the Hyuga Clan, Hyōjin's brows slightly twisted, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.
Because he found that the people in the Hyuga Clan, although they behaved very respectfully and politely after seeing him, they seemed to always keep a certain distance under this respectful and polite appearance.
When he arrived at the Ancestral Residence, the guard hurriedly greeted him. "Miss Jing, the Patriarch is waiting for you in the side hall. Please follow me."
There is no doubt that as soon as Hyōjin stepped into the Clan Land, some clansmen reported the news to Hiashi, but this is also normal, after all, Hyōjin is already the captain of the Anbu Squad at this time, and in the elite Anbu, he is also one of the high-level, and he has the potential to compete for the position of Anbu Minister, Shadow Guard Captain, and the leader of the Jonin class.
Hyōjin didn't say anything and just nodded silently.
Soon, Hyōjin arrived at the side hall and saw Hiashi.
Hiashi looked at Suijin up and down and said with a smile, "It seems that your body is recovering well."
Hyōjin nodded and said, "Yes, it was just a superficial wound."
After pondering for a moment, Hiashi said, "Kuroto, this time you were injured, and the family didn't send anyone to visit you. I hope you don't mind."
Hyōjin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
Hiashi explained again, "The previous murderer hasn't been caught, and there is some misunderstanding between you and some people in the Ancestral Family, so I suppressed Richa and didn't let him visit you on behalf of the Ancestral Family. I don't want you to enter the eyes of some people during this sensitive period."
Hyōjin said lightly, "Patriarch, I really don't care."
Hyōjin doesn't care about what the Ancestral Family thinks of him at all, otherwise, he wouldn't have openly questioned the tradition of the Ancestral Family.
It must be known that for the conservative Hyuga Clan, tradition is the foundation of the Ancestral Family to rule the branch family. This is not just a matter of soft fist, but also the legitimacy of the existence of the Ancestral Family.
Therefore, questioning the tradition is almost equivalent to questioning the Ancestral Family.
This is also the reason why the Ancestral Family is very dissatisfied with Hyōjin. Individual extremists even suspect that Hyōjin murdered the Ancestral Family Elder, but because there is no evidence, and Hyōjin's status is no longer what it used to be, so even if there is suspicion, the Ancestral Family can't do anything to Hyōjin.
Hiashi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you can understand."
For Hyōjin, Hiashi values him very much.
This is not only because Hyōjin's strength is good, and he is the pillar of the new generation of the Hyuga Clan, but also because Hyōjin took the risk last time to solve the Watanabe Incident for the Hyuga Clan, so that the Hyuga Clan escaped a disaster.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kuroto stated his purpose of coming here.
Learning that Hyōjin wants Yue to become Tsunade's disciple, Hiashi nodded thoughtfully, "Well, this is indeed a good idea."
Four Generations died early, Three Generations are old, and the most promising to become the next Naruto are the two disciples of the Three Generations, Jiraiya and Tsunade.
At this time, if a member of the Hyuga Clan is arranged to become Tsunade's disciple, then in the future, if Tsunade succeeds as the fifth generation Naruto, the relationship between the Hyuga Clan and the Naruto Clan will be even closer.
Seeing Hiashi nodding, Hyōjin smiled and said, "I have probed Mute's intentions, if Yue wants to become a disciple, I am afraid it will take a lot of money as a gift."
Hiashi immediately laughed and said, "I finally know why you came to see me. Well, the matter of Yue becoming a disciple is of great benefit to both herself and the Hyuga Clan. As the Patriarch, I naturally can't be stingy. So, I will personally pay 30 million, no, 35 million, as a gift for Yue becoming a disciple of Tsunade! "
Hyōjin was not too happy, but secretly thought, "It seems that the Patriarch has not heard of Tsunade's nickname 'Fat Sheep'."
35 million is actually a huge amount of money, but for Tsunade who owes a lot of debt, Hyōjin estimates that 35 million is not enough to fill her big hole.
Seeing that Hyōjin was silent, Hiashi asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing …" Shaking his head, Hyōjin smiled and said, "On behalf of Yue, I thank the Clan for their support!"
One should not push one's luck. Hiashi suddenly took out a huge amount of 35 million, if Hyōjin was still not satisfied, he would be a little ungrateful.
After sealing the box full of money into the Storage Scroll, Hyōjin left the Zong Clan's mansion with a smile on his face.
When he returned home, he found an inconspicuous small bamboo tube in the yard. He rolled his eyes and glanced at the bamboo tube, only to see a note inside.
"Heh …"
With a chuckle, Hyōjin grabbed the bamboo tube in his hand and took out the note inside.
There are a few lines on the note, the content is all the little tricks the Zong Clan has secretly done to Hyōjin.
For example, the Zong Clan is secretly investigating Hyōjin.
Another example is that the Zong Clan is recently training another talented branch family member, wanting to let that obedient branch family member replace Hyōjin's position in the Black Ops.
Keeping the note, Hyōjin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Interesting."
The person who sent this note obviously wants to use Hyōjin to deal with the Zong Clan. Perhaps in the eyes of that person, Hyōjin, who is suspected and hostile by the Zong Clan, must be full of resentment at the moment, holding a grudge against the Zong Clan.
However, the other party did not expect that the Zong Clan is nothing in Hyōjin's eyes. His vision is no longer limited to a clan and a village.
Along with the improvement of his strength, Kuroto's tolerance had also unknowingly increased by a lot. For the current him, the suspicion and hostility of some members of the clan couldn't affect his state of mind. It was like a crayfish that was about to enter the pot. No matter how it bared its fangs and brandished its claws, the diners wouldn't care.
"I didn't have time to look for you, but you jumped out yourself."
Hyōjin crushed the note and walked into the house.
If Hyōjin didn't guess wrong, the person who sent him the note is likely to be the guy who killed the Zong Clan Elder and sneaked into the Zong Clan's secret vault.
Perhaps in the other party's heart, Hyōjin, who is also a branch family member, is a target that can be won over and used, so he sent this note. On the one hand, it is to provoke the relationship between Hyōjin and the Zong Clan, and on the other hand, it is to show goodwill to Hyōjin.
If some of the members of the Zong Clan are just conservative and ignorant, then this guy is full of evil intentions.
The next day, Hyōjin came to the training ground as usual.
Perhaps because of yesterday's lesson, this time, Red, Gale, and Xiyan's tactics are much more conservative. All kinds of Shadow Clone Techniques, Substitution Techniques, and traps are endless.
Without using the ability of the Tenseigan, Hyōjin took some effort to defeat them one by one.
Glancing at the three people on the ground, Hyōjin said indifferently: "With your strength, if you encounter a member of the Akatsuki, you will die without a doubt, so work hard and continue the assessment tomorrow, I hope you can have a better performance."
After saying that, Hyōjin left the training ground just like yesterday.
Red said with some annoyance: "It's really too hateful!"
Gale coughed lightly while silently staring at the long sword in his hand, seemingly thinking about something.
Xiyan struggled to stand up: "It seems that as Captain said, we must have the determination to kill him to have a chance of defeating him!"
Among the three, only Xiyan, who has the biggest age difference with Hyōjin and is the least familiar with Hyōjin, was the first to wake up.
Red frowned slightly: "You mean to say that this assessment should be regarded as a real battle of life and death, not an ordinary contest?"
Xiyan nodded lightly: "I think that's what Captain means!"
Gale also stood up at this time: "From now on, we will treat Captain as a real enemy!"
When he was defeated today, Gale faintly felt that something was wrong. After listening to Xiyan's words, he understood what was wrong.
Although 'Muye -flow Sword Technique' is not a bloodthirsty technique that focuses on killing, but if the wielder does not have the slightest killing intent, then the power of 'Muye -flow Sword Technique' will inevitably be greatly reduced.
… …
While the members of class 7 were discussing tomorrow's assessment, Hyōjin once again came to the second floor of the izakaya.
Because today's assessment was not as straightforward as yesterday, Hyōjin was a little late, but Mute obviously didn't care about this, smiled and said to Hyōjin: "I mentioned to Tsunade -sama that Yū wants to become an apprentice."
"What did Tsunade -sama say?"
Mute said: "Tsunade -sama originally didn't intend to accept an apprentice, but she heard that Yū wants to practice medical ninjutsu with her, so she has a faint idea of accepting an apprentice, but …"
Halfway through the words, Mute smiled embarrassedly. After all, he was too thin-skinned, and some words really couldn't be said.
Naturally, Hyōjin wouldn't laugh at Mute's joke, so he took the initiative to say: "You don't have to worry about the gift of apprenticeship, our Hyuga clan can afford it!"
Once Yū becomes an apprentice of Tsunade, not only her own strength will be improved, but her status in the family and village will also be improved. It should be known that Four Generations is the apprentice of the Sannin, and becoming a disciple of the Sannin basically means that she has integrated into the Naruto faction.
Moreover, Yū will be protected by Tsunade. Staying by Tsunade's side, ordinary people won't be able to do anything to her at all.
Hearing Hyōjin take the initiative to mention the gift, Mute breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Tsunade -sama didn't accept an apprentice because of the gift. Tsunade -sama has always liked Yū. Last time when choosing apprentices in the ninja school, she almost chose Yū."
"I know, I know …"
Hyōjin showed an expression that said "I know".
Mute nodded: "Well, it's good that you know!"
Kuroto asked, "What's the amount of the gift?"
Mute turned over the small book, looked at it, lowered his head and said with some embarrassment: "If possible, Tsunade -sama hopes … No, no, no, I hope it's 50 million …"
At the end of the sentence, Mute's voice was almost inaudible. If it wasn't for Hyōjin's good hearing, he might not be able to hear the specific amount that Mute said.
"50 million …"
Hyōjin tapped his fingers on the table and thought.
The amount of the gift that Tsunade offered was actually less than Hyōjin expected. 50 million may be a huge amount for others, but for the Hyuga clan, it may be a huge amount of money.
However, Hyōjin only had 40 million in his hand, which was 10 million short of 50 million.
Seeing that Hyōjin was silent, Mute quickly said: "If … if you think the amount is too big, we can discuss it!"
50 million was undoubtedly a huge amount of money in Mute's eyes. Even if ordinary ninjas worked hard for decades, they would never be able to save so much money, so she was very guilty at the moment.
Hyōjin waved his hand: "No, I'll give you 70 million!"
Mute was startled for a long time before she reacted and said in surprise: "What!?"
Hyōjin said: "But this is not without conditions. I hope that Tsunade -sama won't hide anything, and don't have any prejudice against Yue, and see her as a real disciple!"
Instead of bargaining, it's better to increase the investment so that Tsunade will owe Yue a favor and guide Yue more attentively.
As for the problem of money, 10 million is one thing, 30 million is also one thing. Anyway, he will go to the Mist Village soon.
Mute nodded again and again: "Don't worry, what I said just now is not a lie, Tsunade -sama really likes Yue. Tsunade-sama actually told me in private that the Hyuga Clan with the Byakugan that can see through the meridians, blood vessels, muscles, and bones of the human body is the best candidate to practice medical ninjutsu, so she has been planning to choose a disciple from the Hyuga Clan. After Yue becomes a disciple, she will treat everyone equally and won't have any prejudice against Yue! "
Hyōjin nodded with satisfaction: "I'm relieved!"
