In the Hyuga Conference Hall, the Hyuga Clan was having a heated discussion about the marriage between Hinata and the Kumo Shinobi.
The Great Elder of the Hyuga Clan was second only to the Patriarch, Hiashi. At this time, he suppressed the great dissatisfaction in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch, the Fifth Hokage came to Hyuga the day before yesterday and explained the marriage between Miss Hinata and the Kumo Shinobi Clan. He also said that the Patriarch has agreed to this matter. What is going on?"
"Yes, Patriarch, please explain it clearly!"
"Humph!
No matter what the reason is, how can a member of the Hyuga Clan marry a Clan of another country?
Moreover, it's the Kumo Clan that has a blood feud with us! "
"Patriarch!"
"Enough!"
In the face of everyone's doubts, Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting in the first seat, was also angry and couldn't help but shout loudly.
Seeing that Hiashi was angry, everyone suddenly fell silent. After being stunned for a while, they couldn't help but look at each other. In their impression, it was rare to see Hiashi so angry.
The Great Elder probably guessed that there must be a reason, and now it seems that Hiashi was unwilling, so he couldn't help but whisper, "Patriarch, did something happen?"
Hiashi shook his head and said faintly, "This is something that has been decided by the higher-ups of Konoha."
Everyone couldn't help but frown, "This … is impossible?
And, even so, this matter, as long as the Patriarch doesn't agree, they can't … "
Hyuga Hiashi sighed slightly, but he didn't speak.
Of course, he knew this kind of thing. If he didn't agree on this matter, Konoha's people couldn't do anything to him, but this will definitely damage his reputation in Konoha. After all, what he did was completely against the higher-ups of Konoha and most of the Clans.
However, in order to protect his children and the reputation of the Clan as the Patriarch, he cleverly threw this problem to Kirito.
Hyuga Hiashi's move was ingenious. As a father, he secretly paid attention to his daughter. Although he never said it out loud, he knew what his daughter liked since she was a child.
Hyuga Hiashi said that he would leave this matter to Kirito because he knew the deep relationship between Kirito and Hinata. Kirito would definitely oppose the marriage between Hinata and Kumo, and because of Kirito's strength, the higher-ups of Konoha couldn't ignore his opinion.
In this way, he can not only protect his daughter's happiness, but also avoid the loss of Hyuga's reputation in Konoha. As a father and a patriarch, he also fulfilled his responsibilities well.
However, what he never expected was that Kirito actually nodded and agreed to the contents of the agreement that day, which made Hiashi furious.
He believed that not only did Kirito betray Hyuga, but he also betrayed his own daughter.
Hyuga Hiashi's lips moved, and he explained the whole matter clearly and in detail.
Everyone in Hyuga couldn't help but be silent. In this matter, Hyuga Hiashi didn't do anything wrong. Even if it were them, they would choose this win-win method to protect the interests of the Clan while protecting their loved ones. It's just that the part where he believed in Kirito was very problematic.
"Then, may I ask, is there a way to solve the problem at hand?"
When he said this sentence, Hiashi's tone was also quite decadent. In fact, when Konoha held a high-level resolution on that day, he had tacitly agreed that Hyuga had no opinion on the decision of the Konoha's higher-ups. Now, it would be difficult to overturn it.
Although Hyuga was the first Clan in Konoha, the higher-ups of Konoha and other major Clans wouldn't let Hyuga be so unscrupulous.
Everyone was silent, and for a while, they couldn't think of a specific solution.
However, a middle-aged old man in the last seat rolled his eyes and then proposed, "Things have come to this point, according to the normal way, we can't resist the decision of the Konoha's higher-ups. Why don't we …"
"Seventh Elder, if you have something to say, just say it."
Hyuga Hiashi raised his eyebrows and said unhappily. He didn't like the latter. He had no strength and no wisdom. He only occupied the seat of the Hyuga Elder because of his relationship with his father.
The Elders were also quite curious. He said that he could solve the current almost deadlock problem.
"Ahem ~" The Seventh Elder coughed and pretended to be calm and serious, "In fact, the problem is very simple. We just need to choose a husband for Lady Hinata first, then all the problems will be solved …"
Seeing that the Seventh Elder was about to continue talking, Hiashi couldn't help but have blue veins on his forehead, and he said coldly, "Are you trying to say that your grandson, Hyuga Tanayama?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that child Tanayama, I …"
"Bastard!"
Hiashi suddenly flew into a rage. He strongly opposed sending his daughter to the Cloud as a political sacrifice, and he also didn't want to destroy his daughter's happiness.
In his opinion, the man who can be his daughter's husband must be a top-notch dragon or phoenix among men. He didn't even look at Hyuga Tanayama. Originally, he was very satisfied with Kirito, but he didn't expect Kirito to "betray" him.
"No!
Patriarch. "
After a moment of silence, the Great Elder spoke first, "Seventh Elder's reason is very problematic, but to solve the problem in front of us, this is the only way."
"Great Elder!
Do you think that trash like Tanayama is worthy of my daughter? "Hyuga Hiashi didn't hide his anger and bluntly rebuked.
Hearing Hiashi openly despising his grandson, the Seventh Elder's face changed, and then he couldn't help but jump up and yell, "Hiashi!
I'm your uncle, your father has to call me brother, how dare you despise me like this! "
Hiashi didn't even bother to pay attention to this kind of guy who took advantage of his seniority. He didn't have the qualifications, and his brain wasn't smart enough. He always wanted to play petty tricks, and he despised this kind of people the most.
The Great Elder shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Hiashi, I know what you're thinking, but you have to know that compared to personal feelings, the highest interests of the Hyuga Clan are the most important!
The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan must not fall into the hands of the Cloud!
You should understand what Hizashi sacrificed himself for! "
Hiashi's expression suddenly stagnated, and he was silent for a long time.
At that time, his younger brother voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect Konoha on the edge of war, and at the same time, to protect the interests of the Hyuga Clan.
The Cloud got the body of the murderer of the Cloud, and suddenly there was no reason to threaten Konoha with war. At the same time, because Hizashi was a branch of the Hyuga Clan, the Caged Bird technique will destroy the Hyuga Kekkei Genkai after death, so the Byakugan didn't fall into the hands of the Cloud.
Today, Hiashi also faced a very difficult decision, to protect the Byakugan, or to sacrifice his daughter's happiness, what should he choose?
No, this wasn't a choice at all, the former would not only fall into the hands of the Cloud, but at the same time, his daughter wouldn't be happy.
No matter which one he chose, his daughter wouldn't be happy.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, should he take a step back and choose to sacrifice his daughter's happiness for such a reason?
Just as Hiashi was confused and couldn't make a choice, suddenly, the door of the Hyuga Conference Hall was pushed open.
From the outside, a figure walked in.
"Everyone seems to be very distressed, so it's better to leave this matter to the younger generation."
The newcomer had a clear and gentle young face, but his words carried a strong domineering attitude that did not allow for any opposition.
"Well, I should say, please be sure to leave this matter of Hinata to me, Kirito Hyuga, alone."
