One of the elders pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe we can go and meet them. After all, everyone has the same Byakugan. There is no harm in meeting them, and …"
The Ancestral Clan Elder didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was extremely clear.
Today's Hyuga clan is at a disadvantage in the competition with the Uchiha Clan, and recently there was the scandal of Shuimu. It can be said that their reputation in the village has plummeted, and they urgently need a strong foreign aid to restore their reputation.
And the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon is undoubtedly the best foreign aid candidate.
The other party has the same bloodline as the Hyuga clan, and their strength is much stronger than the Hyuga clan. If they have their support, then the situation of the Hyuga clan will immediately improve.
At this time, another elder frowned and said, "We haven't even figured out the other party's intentions. Isn't it too risky to meet them in a hurry?"
Although they are of the same origin, the two sides have not been in contact for hundreds of years, so there is no kinship between them at all.
In addition, the current Hyuga clan has little understanding of the distant relatives on the moon. They can't guess the other party's intention to meet with Patriarch Hiashi, nor can they judge whether the other party is good or evil this time.
The two elders expressed their opinions one after another, and it can be said that the pros and cons of going or not going are laid out in the open.
Hiashi thought for a long time and finally made up his mind, "I decided to go as scheduled!"
At the previous high-level meeting, he and the elder of the clan were frightened by Uchiha Zhishui, which made Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, unable to get over it.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to meet the other party and see what the other party wants to do, because the Hyuga clan really needs the support of the distant relatives on the moon.
At this time, the elder of the clan who was disgraced because of the Shuimu incident immediately objected, "No, you can't go. You know the situation in the clan now. If anything happens to you, our Hyuga clan will immediately fall into eternal damnation, so even if we send someone, you can't go in person!"
Puzzled, Hiashi said, "But the other party clearly stated in the letter that he wants to meet the current Patriarch. If I don't go there personally, it might arouse the other party's suspicion and cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
The elder from the ancestral clan didn't seem to mind at all. "Don't we still have Richa?"
"What!?" Hiashi was startled and immediately shook his head. "How can I do that!?"
Elder Zong smiled, "Hizashi-sama and you are blood brothers, other than the people of the Hyuga Clan, outsiders will not be able to distinguish them, so having him replace you is the safest choice at present."
Hiashi still refused to give in. "This is very dangerous. I don't feel comfortable letting him go."
"His strength is about the same as yours. If you can handle it, he can handle it. If he can't handle it, you won't be able to either." Pausing for a moment, the tone of the Zong Clan's elder grew harsher, "Hiashi, don't be silly. Isn't the mission of the Zong Clan to protect our Zong Clan? Richa will understand."
"Yes, let's do that."
"Isn't the value of the Zong Clan reflected in this, Hiashi, there is no need to hesitate!"
The other elders of the Zong Clan also felt that letting Richa replace Hiashi to keep the appointment is the safest choice for the Zong Clan at the moment. Not only can they find out the true purpose of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, but even if they encounter an accident, it won't be too serious.
In the face of the elders, Hiashi had no choice but to nod in disappointment.
Soon, Richa, who received the notice, rushed to the Zong Clan Residence.
At this time, in the study room, the other two elders of the Zong Clan have already left, leaving only Hiashi and the elder who proposed to let Richa replace Hiashi to keep the appointment.
After bowing to the two elders, Richa sat on the futon.
At this time, the Zong Clan Elder handed the letter sent by Otsutsuki Samurai to Richa. "Take a look at this first."
After taking the letter and reading it, Richa was surprised. "This is?"
The Zong Clan Elder introduced Richa to the distant relatives of the Otsutsuki Clan living on the moon, and then said, "This time, the other party's intentions are unclear, so the Zong Clan hopes that you can replace Hiashi to keep the appointment and find out what the other party wants!"
Hearing this, Richa subconsciously looked at Hiashi who was sitting in the main seat.
However, Hiashi avoided his gaze and just sat in his seat, bowing his head and not saying a word.
Richa suddenly understood that this was not only the decision of the Zong Clan Elder, but also his brother's decision. So, he forced a smile and said, "No problem, this is what I should do."
The Zong Clan Elder smiled with satisfaction. "Richa, you can think like this, it shows that you have not forgotten the mission of the Zong Clan Elder. I am very pleased!"
Richa pulled his mind back to this appointment and re-read the letter sent by Otsutsuki Samurai.
From the content of the letter, Richa couldn't see the other party's purpose, so he pondered for a while and suggested, "Should we go and inform Kuroto? He has been in the Anbu before and has experience in dealing with various situations. He may be able to provide us with reasonable suggestions! "
Pa …
As soon as Richa mentioned Hyōjin, the Zong Clan Elder became furious and slammed his palm on the tea table in front of him and roared, "Is it that without Hyōjin, our Hyuga Clan can't do anything?"
In the Zong Clan Elder's mind, contacting the distant relatives on the moon is not only to restore the prestige of the Hyuga Clan, but also to suppress the branch family represented by Hyōjin.
So even if he puts aside his personal grievances, he will not agree with Hyōjin's participation in this matter.
Richa also didn't expect the Zong Clan Elder's reaction to be so intense, and quickly explained, "Zong Clan Elder, I don't mean that, I just consider that Kuroto is the most experienced Jonin in the family, let him participate, maybe he can provide us with a lot of help."
The Zong Clan Elder also realized that he had lost his composure and snorted coldly, "This is the top secret of the family, unrelated people have no right to know, let alone the right to participate!"
Seeing that the Zong Clan Elder didn't even think about it and refused, and Hiashi in the main seat did not say anything, Richa had to reply, "I understand."
The Zong Clan Elder then said, "Richa, I must remind you that this matter is likely to be related to the future of our Hyuga Clan, it is the top secret of the family, so you must not leak it to anyone, understand?"
Richa nodded, "Yes!"
The Zong Clan Elder waved his hand, "You go and prepare."
Richa took one last look at his brother Hiashi, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, I will get things done."
After that, without waiting for Hiashi to answer, Richa got up and left the study …
