Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 376 The captain is Hinata...

Konoha Village.

The clan land of the Hyuga clan.

As one of the top wealthy families in Konoha Village, it has always been the subject of discussion among many idle people. It is always compared with the Uchiha clan, and they debate whether the Byakugan or the Sharingan is superior among the three major pupil techniques. Superior skills...Both arguments have a large number of supporters. There is no accurate conclusion on which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

But it is undeniable,

After the Name of the Senju completely merged with Konoha, the only one in Konoha Village who could compare with the Uchiha clan was the Hyuga clan. Now the Uchiha clan has suffered heavy losses from the traitor Uchiha Hatoha, and the clan members suffered heavy casualties. , even abandoned the previous model of family living in groups, and simply moved out of the Uchiha clan's clan area, and the clan members were completely dispersed to live.

In contrast,

However, the Hyuga clan still maintains its huge size, living in its own clan area which is three-thirds larger than the Uchiha clan's clan territory.

······

today,

The Hyuga clan's clan is still as peaceful and peaceful as ever.

until--

"Hokage-sama is visiting?"

"Yes, the leader of the Nara clan is also coming with him."

After hearing the servant's report, Hinata Hizuka, who was practicing the ancestral soft boxing technique with his younger brother in the dojo, blocked his younger brother's fist and stopped the sparring. He looked at his younger brother opposite and said: "Hizashi, Pause for now! Pack up and accompany me to see the Hokage-sama."

"Yes, patriarch."

The man who looked very similar to Hinata Hiashi bowed his head and responded in a respectful manner.

After hearing this, Hinata Hinashi's body sluggished for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He calmly turned his gaze to the servant who came to report the news, who was also a member of the branch family, and ordered: "Go and tell the Hokage Sir, please wait for a moment while he and the Nara clan chief drink tea, I will wash up and go over!"

"Yes, patriarch."

The branch family member who served as a servant bowed his head in response, and immediately hurried back to the teahouse where the Hyuga clan used to entertain guests, and conveyed the clan leader's words to Namikaze Minato and Nara Shikaku who were sitting here waiting.

"The Hyuga clan... really has a huge family fortune!"

Minato held the hot tea in his hand, sniffing the fragrance, admiring the Zen-like courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's Hinata after all."

Nara Shikaku also looked around.

and,

He secretly compared himself with his Nara clan, but he soon gave up the idea, because there was no need to compare at all, not to mention his own Nara clan, even if all the three pig, deer, and butterfly clans were added together, from each In many aspects, they are still inferior to the Hyuga clan.

gap,

too big.

Unlike the Uchiha who have been weakened by various invisible means since the second generation Hokage was in power, the Hyuga clan has been growing vigorously since taking root in Konoha Village, and not only has it not been hit by any Kage. , but because of Byakugan's insight, he received strong support from the village.

but,

This can also indirectly explain how powerful the Uchiha clan is. In this suppressed environment, they can still compete with the growing Hyuga clan, and even faintly overwhelm the Hyuga clan.

"I really want to see how powerful the Senju and Uchiha were at their peak during the Warring States Period!!!"

Nara Shikaku suddenly sighed with emotion.

"...Yes! The Warring States Period... It's really hard to imagine how cruel it was!!" Minato also felt this. After experiencing the third ninja war, he had already deeply understood it. I deeply felt the cruelty of war. However, during the Warring States Period,

But the war was raging, and there was almost no time to rest. Every family was giving birth to children non-stop, causing these people to fight on the battlefield before they could grow up to be taller than a ninja sword... ···Just imagine it, and you can feel the gloom and despair coming towards you!

"Lord Hokage, Chief of the Nara clan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Hinata strode into the tea room.

behind him,

Following him was his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi.

"Hizu, why are you so polite?" Minato asked with a smile.

During the Third Ninja War,

As a firefighter, Minato fought in the Western battlefield, the Northeast battlefield, and the Northwest battlefield. He fought against Suna ninja, Kumo ninja, and Iwa ninja. Therefore, he became teammates with many people and acted together.

Hinata Hizatsu had worked with him before, and the two of them had fought against Suna Ninja together, and also fought against Kumo Ninja.

"That's not okay. You must be respectful when facing Hokage."

Hinata Hinashi replied with a serious expression, but before Minato could say anything else, he went straight to the point: "Hokage-sama, you and the Nara clan chief are here today. Why are you here?"

The Hyuga clan has its own way of survival.

It is enough to treat Naruto with respect, but there is no need to be too close. Perhaps it is because of the clear relationship between bystanders. They can clearly see the various overt and covert suppressions of the Uchiha clan by the second generation Hokage and the third generation Hokage.

Even if they say that the Hinata don't like those arrogant and arrogant red-eyed people, when they see the Uchiha clan being suppressed, they realize that today the Uchiha will suffer a blow, and tomorrow the Hyuga clan may also get peace. The same treatment as Uchiha.

Therefore,

They never get too close to any Hokage and always keep a respectful distance.

Hyuga Hizashi has inherited this way of survival of the Hyuga clan very well. When faced with Minato's overtures, he chose to stay away from Minato and changed the topic.

"...There is a mission."

Minato pondered for two seconds, then simply gave up the pleasantries and said directly: "Hizu, you should know that the village recently planned to send personnel to Yuyin Village to carry out a long-term mission with a high degree of danger. Currently, the challenge has been We have the manpower and formed a team, but they still lack an experienced, mature and prudent captain who can make up for their shortcomings!!"

Saying,

He looked beyond Hinata Hizashi to Hinata Hizashi behind him.

"Hokage-sama, do you plan to let Hizashi carry out this mission?"

Hinata Hizashi is not an idiot, he immediately realized that Minato and Nara Shikaku came here for their biological brother Hizashi.

Notice,

Although the Hyuga clan is divided into clan families and branch families, it does not mean that the eldest son must be the clan family, and the rest of the children are branch families. The criteria for judging clan families and branch families are not based on birth order. This is just one of the criteria.

In addition,

It also depends on the level of talent between brothers and sisters.

For thousands of years, in the history of the Hyuga clan, there are many cases where the younger brother is better than the elder brother, and the younger sister is better than the elder sister, and thus can be established as the heir of the clan. Hyuga Hizuko can become the clan clan not only because he is the elder brother, but also because of his His talent is better than that of his younger brother Hinata Hizashi, and the fact that he can succeed as the clan leader from a clan shows his greatness.

after all,

The Hyuga clan has been able to survive for thousands of years by relying on the clan and branch system that has been criticized by many people. Naturally, it has its own strength. The clan clans in the clan may occasionally mix in one or two losers, but overall In general, everyone in the Zong family is not a bad person, they are all quite powerful.

in this way,

Fang allowed the Hyuga clan to remain standing during the cruel and long Warring States Period, and its inheritance continues to this day.
