Chapter 346 Proposal and Union

In the meeting room of the main family, Nichizu held an important meeting in which both the main family and branch elders of the Hyuga clan were present.

Before Higashizu could speak, an elder of the patriarchal clan couldn't help asking: "Patriarch, just now Elder Danzo visited our Hyuga clan, why?"

The leader of the root department, Shimura Danzo, visited the Hyuga clan in person, and it must not be regarded as an ordinary trivial matter.

As Konoha's most powerful real power elder, Danzo's status is especially above the two advisors, second only to the Third Hokage.

Even though Danzo is usually not well-known in the village, Konoha's middle and senior management cannot ignore the existence of the other party. At critical times, Danzo can greatly affect Konoha's overall decision-making.

Especially because of the Yunyin incident that happened in the past, Danzo's power penetrated into the Hyuga clan, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the three generations of Hokage. At this time, at this moment of fierce battle between Nebu and Hokage, most of the elders of the clan do not want to be involved in this kind of right and wrong.

It is only necessary to ensure the current interests and obey any decision made by the high-level.

As for Hokage and Genbu who will lead Konoha, the elders of the clan don't think about it.

Hizuru took a look at the patriarch, and said calmly: "Civil war is breaking out in the country of rain, and the struggle between the high-level and the bottom is becoming increasingly fierce. Our fire country daimyo has received a letter of appeal from the rain country daimyo, officially supporting the rain country daimyo's side, and suppressing domestic turmoil. The assistance operation is the root led by the elder Danzo. Therefore, the daimyo hopes that our Hyuga clan will assist the root, and send some ninjas to obey the root's command and enter the rain country Quiet the flames."

"Where is Hokage-sama?"

The patriarchs are worried about this kind of problem.

If the Hyuga clan continues to get close to the root, whether it will cause Naruto's ill feeling, this is the most important thing.

In contrast, the order of the daimyo and the civil war in the country of rain have nothing to do with them.

"Yes, if Master Hokage is dissatisfied with this, it is better to politely refuse Elder Danzo, there is no need to ask for trouble."

Intervening in the power struggle that Konoha's senior management only saw, in the eyes of the elders of the clan, is asking for trouble.

As long as the Hyuga Clan protects the boundary of Baiyan's blood inheritance, their part of the benefits will never be lacking. Baiyan is the foundation of the Hyuga Clan, and force is second.

"Don't worry, Hokage-sama also knows about this matter, and he acquiesced. After all, the daimyo's plan to intervene and use the power of the Hyuga clan must require the approval of Hokage-sama, otherwise Elder Danzo will not come to visit in person."

Rizu made a calm voice.

"That's it, if this is the case, then follow the arrangement of the elder Danzang and dispatch one Jnin and three Chunin from the branch to assist the root operation."

Regarding the arrangement of the main family, no one from the branch elders answered, but they also acquiesced.

The civil war in the Land of the Rain is dangerous, and the ninjas of the sect will definitely not follow the roots. Although the white eyes without the restraint of the caged bird are no longer exclusive to the Konoha Hyuga clan, few members of the clan will go to the battlefield in person, and more often they will command remotely from the rear.

In the ghost country on the other side of the mainland, there are many free Hyuga clansmen who are not bound by caged birds.

Hizuzu listened to the speech of the elders of the clan, even though he knew what these people thought and knew that they were considering the stability of the Hyuga clan, he couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't say anything.

After all, the recent major events that have shaken up the ninja world have indeed made these old antiques even more timid.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out and the Oni Nation rose. Hyuga Ayane, who was supposed to be punished as a traitor, was revoked by Hokage, and the Hyuga Clan of the Oni Nation was legally certified.

This made many elders of the sect tremble in silence, and no longer dared to express any opinions on this matter.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of Hokage's power, or because I'm afraid of the daughter of the separated family who once caused great trauma to the main family.

Or both.

"Let's stop here about the elders of Danzo. Assist the root operation and let the branch handle it. Next, I have an important matter that I want to discuss with the elders."

Rizu coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Important things?"

The elders of both the main family and the branch family looked at each other in blank dismay. Except for Danzo's visit today, nothing major happened to the Hyuga clan in the past month, so why discuss important matters?

Rizu didn't hold back, and directly expressed his views to the elders of the main family and branch families:

"Since the eldest daughter Hinata has a defect, I plan to make the second daughter Hanabi the heir of the clan."

After Hizuru finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Many clan and branch elders were in shock, even Nisashi's brother Nisai looked at his elder brother in astonishment, not knowing why Niszu made such a decision.

"Clan, patriarch, what are you talking about, you want to abolish Miss Hinata's status as the heir to the clan!?"

A patriarch wants to confirm this.

Under the surprised eyes of the elders of the clan, Nizuzu nodded solemnly.

"But, Patriarch, what dissatisfaction do you have with Ms. Hinata? As far as I know, Ms. Hinata's ninja talent is enough to be the next patriarch."

Not only the elders of the main clan, but also the elders of the branches are also whispering, very surprised by Nizuzu's decision.

"The defect I am referring to is not a defect in being a ninja, but a defect in character. Hinata, who can't even be suppressed by her own sister, if she inherits the clan in the future, it might disrupt the ruling structure of the entire Hyuga clan. This is what I don't want to see."

Hizuru sighed.

"What's the meaning?"

"Just before Elder Danzo came to visit, on a whim, I asked Hinata to practice a duel with Hanabi, who hadn't gone to school and had just learned soft boxing. As a result, Hinata didn't last ten rounds, and was defeated by the younger sister Hanabi. Not only in terms of strength and talent, but also the character that Hanabi has shown now is more suitable for the identity of the sect than Hinata."

After hearing what Nizuzu said, the elders of the sect also began to reflect. They didn't care whether Hanabi was stronger than Hinata, because Hanabi is stronger than Hinata now, but it doesn't mean that he will be stronger than Hinata in the future.

Because the core move of Rouquan will be assigned to Huahuo of the branch family, so he is not eligible to learn it.

It is an indisputable fact that Hinata, who has mastered the core of Rouquan, will soon surpass Hanabi.

But Nizuzu mentioned character flaws, the elders of the clan thought of Hinata's usual behavior, Hinata's character is indeed too weak.

To become the leader of a clan, strength is not the only decisive factor. If the character is too weak, it may cause bloodshed on the offender.

Such examples are reflected in the development history of many ninjas.

"Although there is no precedent for the second son and the second daughter to inherit the clan, it is based on the complete incompetence of the eldest son and eldest daughter, so this kind of thing will happen."

If the patriarch is too incompetent, the whole clan will be in trouble.

Therefore, in the history of the development of the Hyuga clan, there have also been cases where the eldest son and eldest daughter were weak, and the second son and second daughter inherited the heirs of the clan.

"The problem is that Miss Hinata and Hanabi are still too young, so it's too early to make an assertion. However, what the patriarch said makes sense. If the eldest daughter is incompetent, it is also an option for the second daughter to become the clan. Why don't we leave this decision for future observations."

The elderly elders of the clan spoke, and their opinions tended to be pertinent.

Although he clearly agrees with Nizuzu's opinion, it also gives him a lot of room for detours.

The patriarchal inheritance system between the eldest son and the eldest daughter cannot be easily abandoned if it is not a last resort. Otherwise, this will also bring great disadvantages, causing unnecessary rebellious mentality in some branch families who are capable of resisting.

Although there are genius ninjas from generation to generation in the main family, the number of geniuses is always concentrated in the more numerous branches.

The reason why the Fen family is weaker than the Zong family is because most of the Fen family members cannot learn the essence of Rouquan.

Even if you learn the core moves of Rouquan, you will not be able to exert its full power due to the defective white eyes. In a peer-to-peer battle, the clan ninja can easily defeat the branch ninja, ensuring the rule of the clan.

"Do you think so too?"

Rizu looked towards the elders of the clan.

"That's right, although Ms. Hinata currently has flaws in her character, it will be enough to correct it in the future. If it is not necessary, we hope that the patriarch will consider it carefully."

"Is that so? Well, that can only delay the time to sow the caged bird. Compared with Hinata, I prefer Hanabi's talent and personality. This may also be the best choice for the family."

Based on tradition, the elders of the patriarchal clan tend to prefer the eldest daughter Hinata, but as the patriarch, Hizuru prefers the second daughter Hanabi.

Separate elders don't get involved in such fights, because whoever inherits the main family doesn't have much to do with them. As long as the bird in the cage curse seal is not resolved for a day, the branch family will not be able to gain decision-making power at the family meeting for a day, and can only provide suggestions.

But Rizu's firmness also attracted the attention of many elders of the sect.

They all know what kind of person Nizuzu is, and they also affirm the contribution Nizuzu has made to the stability of the Hyuga clan over the years.

It must be something extraordinary for Nizuzu to boast so much, abandoning the eldest daughter to inherit the second daughter of the clan, otherwise Nizuzu would not argue here.

If the second daughter Hanabi is really outstanding, leaving the eldest daughter's talents far behind, giving the family the confidence to become stronger, and listing her as the successor of the clan, it is not impossible.

Oni Country Guard Headquarters Building.

Located in the outer ring road section of the southern district of Ziyuan City, the road in front of the building is wide and the traffic lines extend in all directions. In the event of an emergency, you can reach every corner of Ziyuan City as quickly as possible.

Ayane stood in the highest office of the police headquarters building, looking through the glass at the road in front of the building, which was under construction.

In addition to the necessary sidewalks, starting from Ziyuan City, additional traffic routes have been set up.

Lay track lines called rails.

It is planned to spread the track all over the important areas of Ziyuan City, even with Ziyuan City as the core, covering the entire territory of the ghost country with an overwhelming momentum.

Even the neighboring Snow Country and You Country will be the first to complete the route layout, and the Bear Country will hold off until next year, when the Ghost Country will carry out a further highly centralized rule. The influence on surrounding countries will also be greater.

Now, whether it is the military of the ghost country, or the government and financial departments, they are all operating at a high speed, turning the huge state machine of the "ghost country".

After defeating the country of ghosts in the country of wind, the citizens have stronger self-confidence, and the businessmen who go out for business are no longer inferior and more confident. These well-connected businessmen in their own countries will also become the tentacles of the country of ghosts extending to all parts of the ninja world, organizing secret activities.

It can be said that there is no country in the ninja world that is more progressive than the country of ghosts, and the people of the country of ghosts who have tried various convenient lives will not stand still.

Even if there is no military and government behind it, they will not stand still now, but will actively assist the country and maintain the operation of the state machinery.

Not only in technology, but also in the improvement of system and social welfare, so that they feel like individuals, not slaves working for the powerful.

In the Ninja World environment where there is hierarchical suppression, only the Demon Council can give these unarmed people relatively equal rights to life, instead of struggling to survive on the line of food and clothing, which is precarious.

May I ask, will human beings give up the tinder that they have finally obtained?

The answer is of course not.

Once enjoyed, it is the kind that can never go back.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Different from military ninjas, but a ninja who also wore an aster flower-marked costume walked in.

"What's up?"

"Captain, this is information sent from Konoha, please read it."

The ninja put a scroll on the desk that Ayane used to work, and then exited the room.

Although it is far inferior to the military's organizational structure in terms of size, the garrison is also a complete department with all internal organs, and the collection of intelligence will not rely entirely on the military.

The security department has begun to slowly transfer from the military system to get closer to the government department.

After all, the authority of the military is already too high, leading to the decline of the government's commanding power, which will also increase the burden on the military's operations in disguise.

This was nothing before the War of the Kingdom of Winds. The military with the highest authority can effectively use all the power of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But the end of the War of the Kingdom of Winds has also established the status of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the international arena. The strength of the military needs to be reduced to a certain extent, and the importance of government departments should be strengthened to regulate the stability of the country.

The military is external, the government is internal, and the Ministry of Finance serves as economic support, operating the military and government agencies at the same time, and driving the state machine.

If the international situation changes again in the future, the functions of the three departments will also change accordingly. Disassembly and reassembly are not excluded.

Picking up the scroll, Ayane made a seal with one hand, unlocked the specific spell on it, and then spread the scroll out, and quickly swept across the scroll.

There are two things mentioned.

The fire country daimyo started the civil war in the land of rain, and his fangs have been revealed. He cooperated closely with Danzo in the root, trying to formally get involved in the civil war in the land of rain, and at the same time requested the power of the Hyuga clan to join.

The second thing is that Hinata Hinata, the head of the Konoha Hinata Clan, wants to abolish the eldest daughter's status as the heir to the clan, and let the second daughter Hanabi, who is not yet at school age, be the head of the clan on the grounds that the eldest daughter Hinata Hinata has a personality defect. However, this decision was refuted by the elders of the patriarchal clan, which remains to be seen.

Therefore, the issue of the next heir to the Konoha Hyuga clan became complicated and confusing.

The speeches of the clan elders at the meeting, as well as the various incidents that the Konoha Hyuga clan has encountered in Konoha, are also mentioned in the scroll in detail.

This feeling is as if Ayane herself participated in the highest-level family meeting of the Konoha Hyuga Clan, and can clearly see the reactions of all clan elders and branch elders including the patriarch.

Compared to the previous information about the Hyuga Clan, it is more detailed.

From this point of view, it may even affect the decision-making of the Hyuga clan in the future, and maybe there is a lot to do.

But Ayane is just thinking about this kind of thing. The main family of the Konoha Hyuga clan still has an absolute advantage over the branch family. It is definitely unrealistic to try to use the power of the branch family to leverage the decision of the main family.

The group of tortoise-like clans, once it comes to the sovereignty of the clan, they will become unyielding, that is the foundation of their existence. Once shaken, their dominance will slowly be lost.

"The action is faster than expected. From what I see here, Shiraishi-kun's side must be about the same. It seems that the sudden civil war in the land of rain may become a turning point for the country of wave."

In the initial planning of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the issue of the Civil War in the Land of Rain has already been analyzed.

And whether it will affect the plan of the Kingdom of Bo, the military and the top officials of the government have also analyzed it.

It was just that at that time, due to the lack of intelligence from the Nation of Fire, the initial decision-making did not adapt to the changing international situation.

The Kingdom of Fire's intervention this time is purely political, or directly involved by force, to assist the elite of the Kingdom of Rain to suppress civil strife, and to regain control of Yuyin, which has become the key point of the civil war in the Kingdom of Rain.

From this information, it can be seen that the Fire Nation is more likely to intervene by force.

In this way, the civil war in the Land of Rain will escalate again, and it is likely to evolve into an international incident that is more serious than the Land of Waves.

Should it be said that there is necessity in accident, or accident in necessity?

As far as the current situation is concerned, the interests of the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Rain have coincidentally overlapped.

Ayane smiled, and the scroll in her hand ignited a blue chakra flame, burning it up, leaving a burning smell that lingered in the air.

"Water Escape Water Dragon Bullet!"

A huge water dragon rises from the ground and rushes towards the militiamen who are holding a kunai gun and firing kunai.

The intensive Kunai offensive launched was all dispersed by the water dragon, and the water dragon also exploded on the ground, directly forming an overwhelming flood, involving dozens of ragged militiamen and rushing into the distance.

"Damn, they're ninjas!"

The blood-soaked militia looked fiercely at the dozens of strangely dressed figures who suddenly attacked the camp. They moved quickly, and their unsystematic Kunai offensive could only limit their actions. But once these people used large-scale ninjutsu attacks, even the militiamen with Kunai guns in their hands would be scattered by them.

Boom!

The huge cannon sounded, and the soaring shells landed precisely on the position where the ninja was standing.

These ninjas did not hesitate, blocked them with a water wall, let the shells explode in the air, burst into violent flames, and then immediately left the place with a blink technique, holding kunai or ninja swords, and quickly rushed towards thousands of militiamen, with a cold and fierce light in their eyes.

It is the highest order given to them by the superiors to quickly eliminate the thousands of militiamen in the camp before Yuyin's ninja fighting power comes to support them.

Facts have also proved that even ordinary people with sophisticated weapons can hardly pose any decent threat to ninjas who adopt guerrilla tactics in assault operations.

And the ninjas who attacked were very targeted.

Using large-scale long-range ninjutsu, it is flexible and flexible, and it completely attacks according to the vital points of the militia.

The rumbling thunder and the sound of wind and rain washed the entire battlefield.

The destructive power produced by a dozen ninjas is extremely astonishing. Although the militiamen with sophisticated weapons have the ability to threaten ninjas, it is still too wishful thinking to use these weapons to reverse the gap between ordinary people and ninjas.

Not surprisingly, this will be a very brutal and neat massacre.

Kunai flew through the air.

The difference is that it is no longer the militiamen who launched the kunai this time, but the rain hidden ninjas wearing gas masks and raincoats.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing the Ninja Rain came to support, the ninja who took the lead in the attack was annoyed, but he also firmly remembered his mission, did not get entangled with the Ninja Rain, and quickly evacuated the battlefield with his wounded subordinates.

Yuyin Ninja only set up a defensive line, followed the command from above, and did not pursue in depth.

"The worst has happened."

Nagato, who was located in the rear camp, looked at the information passed on layer by layer. After reading it, he just sighed, revealing a kind of helplessness and distress.

Ninja armed and militia armed are two completely different concepts.

The addition of ninjas means that the upcoming civil war in the Land of Rain will no longer be a unilateral civil war in the Land of Rain. Those big countries will also officially turn from behind the scenes to the front, and an international statement will come out soon.

For example, words such as warning Yuyin to ensure the rights and interests of the rich and powerful in the Kingdom of Rain, and to slaughter the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Rain in disguise.

These are all things that actually happened in the third Ninja World War.

If it were the previous leader, Yahiko, he might have focused on negotiation, but Nagato knew that, rather than talking without fighting, talking after the war would be the only way to restore the decade-long decline of the Land of Rain.

If you don't want to lose your sovereignty again, the game with big powers is naturally indispensable.

The Land of Winds is recovering, and has no time to take care of the Land of Rain's problems. The Land of Earth has dispatched Iwagakushi's ninja troops, but they are only patrolling the border of the Land of Rain and watching the situation. Then, one can imagine where the ninjas who attacked the militia came from.

Nation of Fire!

Eager to restore the face lost in the Kingdom of Ghosts, whether to weaken the Kingdom of Rain, and ensure the stability of the borders of the Kingdom of Fire, these are all things that the daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire must consider.

The kingdom of ghosts is not afraid of the kingdom of fire, but it doesn't mean that the kingdom of rain can ignore the oppression brought by the kingdom of fire.

Whether it is military, economic, or political, the Land of Rain now has nothing.

The regime is divided, the domestic economy is sluggish, and the comprehensive strength of the military is completely incomparable with the Fire Nation, which owns Konoha Ninja Village.

In the case of all political, military and economic disadvantages, Nagato has already felt overwhelming pressure on him.

Looking at the three countries with huge territory surrounded by the Kingdom of Rain on the map, Nagato sighed in his heart.

It is not that simple to break through the blockade of a big country.

"Do you want me to help at the front, Nagato?"

The prerequisite for Yuyin not to make a move is that the ninja has not appeared on the battlefield.

If ninjas appear on the battlefield, they will be more or less infected with the characteristics of ninja warfare, which is completely different from the nature of ordinary people's warfare.

"No, you are sitting here, and it is still a tentative attack from the Fire Nation. If you want to eat Yuyin, it will not be possible in a short time. They will definitely take the lead in collecting information on Yuyin's high-level officials, and then they will attack the country with an army."

Nagato thought for a while, and rejected Xiaonan's proposal to go to the front line.

Now that the identity and strength are exposed, although the disadvantage of the Kingdom of Rain can be restored, it will cause strong panic among the big countries. The joint targeting of the Kingdom of Rain will also affect the follow-up Akatsuki's plan.

"Now what?"

"The country of ghosts."

Nagato points to the country on the western edge of the map, far away from the center of the continent.

"The country of ghosts? According to Bai Jue's information, Chiba Shiraishi sent his daughter to the country of waves, obviously intending to stir up the situation there."

Xiaonan frowned.

"I don't know what Chiba Shiraishi plans to do in the Land of Waves, but now the Land of Rain is weak, and there is no support from any country in the world. Now the only thing that can win over is the Land of Demons. If the Land of Fire is further involved in the civil war disputes in the Land of Rain and relaxes its attention to the Land of Waves, I believe Chiba Shiraishi is willing to reach a consensus with me."

"Will he agree so easily?"

Xiaonan didn't believe that the Ghost Kingdom would assist the Land of Rain so easily to compete with the Land of Fire.

Before the Kingdom of Rain purchased arms from the Kingdom of Ghosts, it was just a commercial transaction. In essence, it was not a reliable cooperation of interest.

After the arms deal, the Kingdom of Ghosts will no longer provide any help to the Kingdom of Rain.

"I'm not sure, but I can give it a try. Moreover, even if this matter is not mentioned, if the Five Great Powers want to sign an agreement with the Ghost Country not to sell arms to small countries, it is worth my trip to the Ghost Country. If the Ghost Country agrees to this proposal of the Five Great Nations..."

Nagato took a deep breath.

In the past negotiations with the Kingdom of Ghosts, although he is also at a relative disadvantage, he is not so compromised.

Akatsuki's affairs and the affairs of the Kingdom of Rain are not the same issue at all.

From the very beginning, Nagato had no intention of letting Akatsuki and the Kingdom of the Rain conduct unified management. In the final analysis, Akatsuki is now a shady underground organization, not a rebellious organization that can be put on the bright side.

Therefore, as the leader of Akatsuki, he can ignore the strong comprehensive national strength of the ghost country. But now, as the leader of Yuyin Village, he must take into account the strong comprehensive national strength of the Ghost Kingdom, and seek benefits for the Rain Kingdom with an appropriate attitude and a reasonable price.

If the kingdom of ghosts agrees to the agreement proposal of the five major powers not to sell arms to small countries, and loses the weapons supply of the kingdom of ghosts, but the big country can equip the advanced weapons of the kingdom of ghosts, the situation will be even more dangerous for the kingdom of rain.

"Xiaonan."

Nagato suddenly called Xiaonan's name.

"What's wrong, Nagato?"

Xiaonan was taken aback.

"What do you think about the price of 100 million taels per catty...?"

"ah?"

Xiaonan obviously didn't react.

"Heretician golem, 100 million taels per catty. At this price, Qianye Baishi should be able to accept it."

Nagato looked at Xiaonan with a serious face.
