An elder barely propped himself up and roared fiercely at the hall: "What are you guys doing? Didn't you see Hyōjin's disobedience? "
However, there was still silence in response to him.
"You …!?"
After perceiving the strange silence in the hall, the elder's momentum suddenly weakened a bit. He, who has always been pampered, realized how much resentment the members of the branch family have accumulated in their hearts.
If the entire branch family revolts against the Hyuga Clan, then even if there is a 'cage bird curse', it will not solve any problem, because without the branch family, the Hyuga Clan is like a tiger without teeth, and the few remaining members of the Hyuga Clan can't support a big clan at all.
At this time, as the head of the clan, Hiashi finally spoke, he did not care about the three elders on the side, but looked at Hyōjin and asked seriously: "Kuroto, do you think Ningci did not do anything wrong this time?"
Hyōjin replied: "He tried his best."
Hiashi then said: "But he failed to protect Hinata, this is the truth!"
"Hinata is indeed the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan, but she is first and foremost a ninja, she is my student!" After a pause, Hyōjin said lightly: "As a ninja, she should be prepared to die at any time. If she dies in this actual combat exercise, it can only mean that she has neither strength nor a little luck."
The elder who was stepped on by Hyōjin roared: "You bastard, Hinata is a member of the Hyuga Clan, she is the future head of the clan, it is natural for Ningci to protect her!"
Hyōjin chuckled and said: "When a ninja puts his own life and death on the protection of others, he is no longer a qualified ninja, and if she is not even a qualified ninja, how can she be the head of the Hyuga Clan in the future?"
Hiashi frowned and said: "Kuroto, you are too extreme!"
"No, you have been blinded by your family's past glory, and your wills have been corrupted by the privileges you were born with! I can't see the changes in the Shinobi World, nor can I detect the danger that is close at hand! " Hyōjin paused for a moment before he glanced at the Zong Clan elder that was trampled beneath his feet, and he ridiculed. "Just like these few geezers, they've already weakened to the point that they can't even activate the Caged Bird Curse before me. It's truly inconceivable!"
When the three ancestral clan elders heard this, they were both embarrassed and angry. Hiashi had an awkward expression on his face.
Hyōjin slowly said, "The 'caged bird' is just a tool. What truly allows the Zong family to maintain their authority is their actual strength, and not the intimidation of the 'caged bird'. The responsibility of the ancestral clan should be to protect the clan and intimidate the weak. When the ancestral clan feels that they should enjoy the protection of the branch clan, the bones of the ancestral clan have already softened. "
After saying this, Hyōjin released the Zong Clan elder that was trampled under his feet, and while walking out of the hall, he said casually: "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
The Zong Clan elder quickly climbed up from the ground and shouted at the back of Hyōjin, "Hyōjin, don't think that just because you have the protection of the Three Generations, you can do whatever you want!"
In the view of the Zong Clan elder, the reason why Hyōjin dared to act so unscrupulously is because he is the direct descendant of the Three Generations Naruto, and the headmaster of the Ninja School.
"Hey!"
Hyōjin stopped but didn't say anything, just sighed.
The Zong Clan elder still doesn't understand that the reason why Hyōjin can do whatever he wants is not because of someone's protection, but because of Hyōjin's own strength.
The Zong Clan elder continued to roar: "The branch clan should protect the Zong family, this is a matter of course!"
"The strong don't need protection!"
After answering indifferently, Hyōjin left the Zong Clan mansion without looking back.
Looking at the back of Hyōjin leaving, the few Zong Clan elders looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they all saw anger and a trace of unconcealable fear!
The source of this fear is that when Hyōjin disobeyed the Zong Clan elder, he was too calm, from the beginning to the end, he maintained a calm mood, and even had a smile on his face.
And according to common sense, when the branch clan rebelled against the Zong Clan, they would either be proud of themselves and sweep away their previous grievances, or they would be hysterical and vent the anger in their hearts. But Hyōjin didn't act like that, as if he didn't hate the Zong Clan, or rather, he wasn't like the ordinary members of the branch clan, who cared about the Zong Clan so much!
It is this disregard that seeped out from the bones, that is the source of the fear of the Zong Clan elders!
Angrily coming in front of Hiashi, the Zong Clan elder shouted: "Hiashi, why didn't you use the 'cage bird curse' to punish Hyōjin just now!"
Hiashi said with a tired look: "Forget it."
"Forget it?!" One of the Zong Clan elder suddenly raised his tone and said angrily: "How can we just forget it like this! The dignity of our Zong Clan is not allowed to be violated by the branch clan! "
"The Zong Clan finally has an outstanding member, do we want to destroy him with our own hands? What will the Three Generations think of us? What will the other people in the village think of us? I can't let such a farce happen in our Hyuga Clan! "
After Hiashi finished speaking, he got up and left the hall because he had already seen that the elders' endless chatter was just to cover up their own fear and uneasiness. Even if they were really given a chance, they probably wouldn't dare to make a move against Hyōjin.
Thinking of this, Hiashi suddenly realized that even he himself might not have the determination to fall out with Hyōjin, so he thought in his heart: "Maybe Kuroto is right, the bones of the Zong Clan have long been soft!"
When passing by the practice field, Hiashi stood in front of the window and looked at his daughter, Hinata, who was sweating and working hard to practice Soft Fist.
Suddenly, Hiashi felt that daring to throw himself at the daughter of an Akatsuki member for the sake of his companions didn't seem as mediocre as he thought in the past …
…..
On the playground of the Ninja School.
Looking from afar at Naruto who was surrounded by the students like stars around the moon, Sasuke, who was leaning against a big tree in the corner, had a bad feeling in his heart.
Before this, he was the focus of the Ninja School and the target of all his classmates. For this reason, he even felt annoyed and distressed.
But now that there was less attention, for some reason, he just felt uncomfortable all over.
At this time, Ningci walked over slowly and asked, "Why are you hiding here?"
Sasuke curled his lips and said, "I'm too lazy to listen to Naruto brag about himself."
Ningci turned his head and looked at the triumphant Naruto in the playground and said, "He deserves this glory!"
Sasuke opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he just nodded and agreed with Ningci's words, then turned and walked out of the school.
Ningci asked, "Going back so early? Aren't you going to cultivate today? "
Sasuke waved his hand and said, "It's fine. The clan has arranged a contract test for me today!"
