The old man was very happy.

"Your Highness Ye Ning? What do you mean?"

Hinata Hiashi frowned, not quite understanding what the elder meant.

The Hyuga clan...

It seems that they have never offended His Highness Ye Ning, right?

Not only have they never offended him, but they have also shown goodwill many times, but His Highness Ye Ning has never responded.

If His Highness Ye Ning really dislikes the Hyuga clan, why did His Highness Ye Ning come to participate in the ceremony held by the Hyuga family last time?

"Clan leader, elders, you might as well think about it. Since the fourth generation, that is, Tsunade-sama, took over, has His Highness Ye Ning given more support to the Uchiha clan? In addition to the Uchiha clan, the Kurama clan, which has been gradually declining, has also received a lot of benefits."

"As far as I know, when His Highness Ye Ning was still young, he seemed to have followed the Kurama clan to learn illusion."

"In addition to the Kurama clan, other major families have obtained resources to varying degrees based on their close relationships. But there are a few exceptions..."

Hinata Hiashi took a deep breath and motioned the young elder to continue.

"My Hyuga clan, Sarutobi clan and Shimura clan have not gained any benefits. The Sarutobi clan can live a better life, but the Shimura clan has been targeted by the Uchiha clan many times because of Danzo, and now their life is extremely miserable."

It is understandable that the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan are not favored by His Highness Ye Ning. After all, the clan leaders of the major families know that His Highness Ye Ning and the daimyo have been dissatisfied with the Sandaime. However, the Sandaime died gloriously on the battlefield after all, and at least some affection was left, so the current life is not so sad.

The Shimura clan... This family is completely unlucky.

Implicated by Danzo, it is now almost a small and insignificant family in Konoha.

But why did our Hyuga clan fall to the same level as these two families?

What went wrong?

Hyuga Hiashi was puzzled.

The Hyuga clan, after all, joined Konoha at the beginning of the village. During the Warring States Period, it was considered a large clan second only to the Uchiha and Senju clans. After joining Konoha, the Hyuga clan has always been honest and hardworking, and has also repeatedly surveyed important intelligence on the battlefield, making considerable contributions.

Hyuga Hiashi pinched his nose and accepted that he could not compare with the Uchiha clan, but why can't he compare with other clans?

In His Highness Ye Ning's heart, the white eyes are so worthless?

Hyuga Hiashi rubbed his temples with some sorrow, and suddenly thought of a few days ago, when His Highness Ye Ning came to participate in the ceremony of the Hyuga clan, it seemed that... Hizashi received him?

"Hizashi, last time I asked you to be responsible for receiving His Highness Ye Ning... Did His Highness Ye Ning say anything?"

Hyuga Hiashi, who had been keeping his head down and had never made any remarks, suddenly raised his head, as if he didn't expect that there would be something for him to do in this clan meeting.

In a brief moment of astonishment, Hyuga Hizashi thought quickly in his mind.

After consideration, Hyuga Hizashi lowered his head to hide his true emotions:

"His Highness Ye Ning didn't say much that night, he just mentioned it casually..."

"What did His Highness Ye Ning say?"

Hinata Hiashi's eyes sharpened, and he instantly set his sights on Hizashi, and the other elders at the clan meeting also set their sights on Hyuga Hizashi.

"His Highness Ye Ning just asked me how long your system of main family and branch family has existed."

Of course, Ye Ning didn't ask this.

However, these elders couldn't run to Ye Ning to verify it.

Besides, Hyuga Hizashi just wanted to throw out a brick to attract everyone's attention.

Sometimes, it's not necessary to say it too obviously.

Saying only half of it, or mentioning it obscurely, may be more effective.

As expected, as soon as Hyuga Hiashi said this, the faces of many elders changed instantly.

And the youngest elder nodded thoughtfully:

"If this is the reason... then everything makes sense."

"Because the Hyuga clan has a system of main family and branch family compared to other families, this is the fundamental reason why His Highness Ye Ning does not like the Hyuga clan."

Of course, the elder did not say the second half of the sentence.

No superior is willing to see his subordinates not loyal to him, but loyal to another subordinate.

The main family and branch family of the Hyuga clan have such a relationship.

Because of the existence of the bird in the cage, the branch family can only choose to be loyal to the main family and fight for the main family all their lives.

And it is precisely this system that has led to His Highness Ye Ning having no way to control the Hyuga clan.

The young elder sighed quietly.

The system of the main family and branch family has existed for a long time, and even if he agrees to abolish this system, it will be of no avail.

The other old stubborn people in the clan will not agree.

Just as this thought came up, an old voice rang out the next moment:

"Hmph!"

The face of this oldest elder of the Hyuga clan who had experienced the founding of the village almost instantly turned ugly, and his emotions became very excited:

"The system that has been passed down for hundreds of years in our Hyuga clan naturally has its merits. Without the existence of the main family and the branch family, how can we guarantee that the Byakugan will not flow into the hands of outsiders? This system is to protect the Byakugan and prevent the scoundrels in the ninja world from targeting our Hyuga clan!"

"But... it's not a solution for our Hyuga clan to hold on like this! His Highness Ye Ning clearly despises our main family and branch family system. I'm afraid that as long as this system exists, our Hyuga clan will never be... No substantial benefits can be obtained. "

"Nonsense! He clearly wants my Hyuga clan to become an obedient dog like the Uchiha clan!"

The oldest elder snorted coldly, and his white beard stood up in anger:

"The Uchiha clan is at least a powerful clan that came from the Warring States Period. Today's Uchiha has lost all its blood and arrogance! They have completely become a watchdog that can only wag its tail!"

The Hyuga clan has no chance to be a dog yet...

If being a dog can get the strong support of His Highness Ye Ning, the family can be developed quickly, it can enter the upper echelons of the village, and it can get closer to His Highness Ye Ning and the Daimyo Prefecture, and even have the opportunity to continue to compete with the Uchiha...

Then I can be such a dog!

This thought flashed through Hyuga Hiashi's mind.

Of course, this cannot be said in front of many old stubborn people.

Otherwise, there is no need for this clan meeting to continue.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi cleared his throat:

"Then may I ask, Great Elder, do you have any good ideas for the current embarrassing situation of our Hyuga clan?"
