Looking at Richa's expression, Hyōjin finally understood what was going on.
Because of Naruto's outstanding performance in the actual combat exercise, Ryuchi Cave, as well as Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest, came into the public's view, and many Muye ninjas were familiar with them.
And when they learned that Hyōjin fought for an opportunity for Ningci to enter Mount Myoboku, one of the three holy lands, the Zong family immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to improve the family's strength, and they couldn't miss it. It's just that the two sides parted on bad terms at the family meeting, and now even Hiashi, who didn't completely fall out with Hyōjin, was embarrassed to come to Hyōjin.
Therefore, the Zong family had to entrust Richa, who had a good relationship with Hyōjin, to be the lobbyist.
"They are not stupid, they know that this opportunity is precious." After chuckling, Hyōjin nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it and let Hinata go to Mount Myoboku to try her luck."
Letting Ningci go to Mount Myoboku was originally a temporary idea of Hyōjin, so it didn't matter if one more person was added.
What's more, Hyōjin liked Hinata. Hinata looked shy and timid, but she was very tough. In the original time and space, when Nagato attacked Muye, the surrounding Muye ninjas saw Naruto being controlled by the 'Tendo', but they didn't dare to come forward to help. Only Hinata rushed forward alone and faced the 'Tendo'.
Not to mention, this courage alone is something that many people don't have.
"Great!"
Seeing that Hyōjin agreed, Richa let out a long sigh of relief.
…
In the ninja school.
Although there was only a trace of the setting sun on the horizon, there were still many students diligently cultivating on the school field.
In a training ground in the corner, Ningci, who had been holding it in for the whole day, finally could not take it anymore. He asked Sasuke with a strange expression, "Sasuke, w-what's with the wound on your face?"
Touching the scratches on his face, Sasuke said with a dark expression, "Cat scratched me."
"Cat?!"
Sasuke quickly explained, "It's not an ordinary cat, it's a ninja cat!"
"Oh, I see." Pausing for a moment, Ningci said, "Could the spiritual beast your family arranged for you be that ninja cat that scratched you?"
Sasuke nodded weakly.
Seeing that Sasuke wasn't in a good mood, Ningci asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did the contract assessment not go smoothly?"
Sasuke sighed, "Hey, don't mention it."
Ninja cats are notoriously arrogant, bad-tempered, and not easy to tame. Even Shinichi, who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, has to pay when using his spiritual beast, Kasai. Therefore, the people of the Uchiha Clan generally don't fight with ninja cats unless it's necessary. It's not that ninja cats aren't strong, but they are afraid of trouble.
Sasuke was originally dissatisfied with the spiritual beast arranged for him by his family, so during the contract assessment, he showed his emotions on his face. The ninja cat didn't want to spoil him and taught him a lesson on the spot, then ran away happily. So yesterday, not only did Sasuke not get a spiritual beast, but his face was also scratched by the ninja cat.
After teasing Sasuke, Ningci packed up his ninja equipment.
"Going back so early?"
Today, it's Sasuke's turn to be confused.
In the face of Sasuke's competitor, Ningci didn't hide anything, "Sensei fought for a chance to enter Mount Myoboku for me, so I can't train too late these days."
Sasuke's eyes suddenly became cold, "What, a chance to enter Mount Myoboku?!"
Ningci nodded lightly.
Sasuke blurted out, "Can I go?"
Ningci looked at Sasuke with some surprise, he didn't expect that with Sasuke's pride, he would make such a request, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter."
Sasuke looked at Ningci with envy and said, "No, I was too presumptuous."
Back home in the evening, Sasuke mentioned to his father Fuyue about Ningci going to Mount Myoboku, and tentatively asked, "Father, can I go with you?"
Knowing that Hyōjin fought for a chance to enter Mount Myoboku for Ningci, Fuyue was also very surprised.
As the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and the Commander of the Muye Police Force, Fuyue naturally knows a lot of secrets that ordinary people don't know. In fact, there are many people in the village who want to enter Mount Myoboku through Jiraiya. As far as Fuyue knows, Danzō once had a big fight with Jiraiya because of this matter, but in the end, the matter was left unsettled.
Therefore, Fuyue was very surprised that Hyōjin could win against Jiraiya.
Sasuke asked again, "Father, can you fight for this chance for me?"
Seeing Sasuke's earnest gaze, Fuyue slowly nodded.
Two days later.
Having received Jiraiya's notice, Hyōjin led Ningci and Hinata to the appointed place.
Not long after, Fuyue also led Sasuke over.
Hyōjin muttered in a low voice, "Huh, why are they here too?"
Seeing Sasuke walking over from afar, Ningci was also startled for a moment, and then took the initiative to say to Hyōjin, "Teacher, I was the one who told Sasuke about going to Mount Myoboku."
Hyōjin smiled, "You told him. Aren't you afraid that you'll have another competitor?"
Ningci's eyes were clear as he replied, "I'm not afraid!"
Hyōjin smiled, and didn't say anything else.
With the current complicated situation in the village, in order to appease the Uchiha Clan, which was becoming more and more restless, Hyōjin suspected that even if the Uchiha Clan didn't know about it beforehand, Three Generations' Naruto would have deliberately leaked this information to the Uchiha Clan in some way, so that the Uchiha Clan would owe Naruto's faction a favor.
After all, the door had already been opened, so bringing two or three would still be the same.
Adding one more Sasuke wouldn't be a loss to Jiraiya, but it could appease the Uchiha Clan, and improve the village's stability. Three Generations would definitely do such a deal!
Moreover, everyone had seen Sasuke's excellence. Three Generations most likely still wanted to absorb Sasuke into Naruto's faction, and further win over the Uchiha Clan.
The appearance of Fuyue and Sasuke here was the evidence.
Soon, Jiraiya also arrived.
Looking at the three children, Jiraiya said to Hyōjin and Fuyue, "I'll bring them back safely, but whether they can get what they want or not depends on them."
Hyōjin and Fuyue nodded together.
After watching Jiraiya leave with the three children, Fuyue turned to Hyōjin and said, "I owe you a favor this time."
Fuyue was very clear that it was thanks to Hyōjin that Sasuke could have such an opportunity.
Hyōjin lightly said, "Let's talk about it after we get the result."
… …
Mount Myoboku.
Jiraiya led Ningci, Hinata, and Sasuke to the front of the Great Toad Immortal, then sat cross-legged on one side and said, "Great Immortal, these three children are the village's outstanding juniors. Take a look!"
Looking at the incomparably huge toad in front of them, the three children were a little embarrassed. Hinata even subconsciously grabbed Ningci's sleeve.
The half-asleep Great Toad Immortal's eyes swept across Ningci and Hinata one by one without stopping, but when his eyes swept across Sasuke, his eyes suddenly flashed …
