Naruto: The Traitor Starting from Uzumaki Kushina

The two of them were very close.

Hyuga Hizashi took his seat and wanted to say hello to Chiba, but Chiba took the initiative to say hello to him.

As a member of the branch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi was going to the battlefield.

During the war, Hyuga Hizashi once led a team of Hyuga ninjas from the branch to support Orochimaru. Chiba and Hyuga Hizashi actually met once.

However, Chiba was focusing on the Uchiha clan at that time, so he and Hyuga Hizashi did not communicate.

Hyuga Hizashi nodded and said hello to Chiyu: "Chiyu, it's been a long time."

Hyuga Hizashi was so surprised, mainly because Chiyu was unkind and didn't give anyone face. His image was too deeply rooted in people's minds.

So when Chiyu greeted him so gently at the beginning, Hyuga Hizashi felt caught off guard.

In terms of status, although Hyuga Hizashi was the head of the branch family of the Hyuga clan, the second largest ninja clan in Konoha, and had won military exploits on the front line, his status was actually similar to Chiyu, or even not as high as Chiyu.

It was just because Hyuga Hizashi was a member of the branch family, even if he was the head of the family.

If it was Hyuga Hiashi, even if he didn't have any military exploits, his identity as the head of the main family of the Hyuga clan would be enough.

The military exploits won by the branch family belonged to the entire Hyuga clan, which was equivalent to the glory belonging to the main family.

Therefore, Chiba and Hyuga Hizashi are on equal footing, while Hyuga Hiashi, who has only fought in the Land of Fire, has a higher status than Chiba.

However, Chiba will not care about these rules. Except for pretending in front of people who need to pretend, such as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, Chiba is now the Hokage and Minato Namikaze can ignore her.

Chiba looked at Hyuga Neji who was sleeping in Hyuga Hizashi's arms, and asked with a smile: "Master Hizashi, what is the name of this child?"

Hyuga Hizashi looked at Hyuga Neji in his arms, and a smile appeared on his rigid face: "Call him Neji."

"Ningji? What a cute child."

Chiba stretched out a finger and gently poked Hyuga Neji's chubby face.

Hyuga Neji, who was originally sleeping, was poked in the face by Chiba, opened his eyes, and looked straight at Chiba.

Just when Chiyu was about to retract her hand, Hyuga Neji suddenly stretched out her little hand and held Chiyu's fingers, laughing.

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina came back from the backstage and saw Hyuga Neji holding Chiyu's fingers and smiling cutely. As if something had hit Uzumaki Kushina's soft heart, she quickly walked to Chiyu's side and teased Hyuga Neji together.

"You're so chubby, so cute."

Hyuga Hizashi smiled and asked Uzumaki Kushina: "Do you want a hug?"

Uzumaki Kushina said in surprise: "Can I?"

Hyuga Hizashi nodded: "Of course, Neji seems to like Chiyu and Kushina very much."

"That's great, then I won't hesitate."

Uzumaki Kushina carefully picked up Hyuga Neji from Hyuga Hizashi's arms and gently shook him: "Little Neji, you're really cute."

Chiyu took a sip of tea from the teacup, and an idea came to her mind.

Chiyu put this idea into action directly. After putting down the teacup, he asked Hyuga Hizashi: "Master Hizashi, I like Neji very much. When Neji grows up, I want to take him as my disciple. I wonder if Master Hizashi will agree?"

Hyuga Hizashi froze in mid-air with the half-carried teacup when he heard Chiyu's words. He looked at Chiyu with some disbelief and surprise.

Chiyu is one of the top strong men in Konoha now.

But Chiyu only took one disciple, that is Kakashi.

Kakashi's current strength is obvious to all in Konoha. Although he has not reached the level of elite jonin, he is definitely in the upper ranks among jonin.

It is true that Kakashi has a good talent, but Chiyu has made an absolute contribution to his rapid growth to this point.

And everyone knows how much Chiyu cares about Kakashi. During the war, Chiyu always took Kakashi with him, teaching Kakashi while fighting.

There is also Chiyu's reputation.

Before Minato Namikaze became Hokage, the most famous person in Konoha besides Orochimaru was Chiba.

As Chiba's disciple, Kakashi has already enjoyed the benefits of fame.

Kakashi got the Sharingan of the 'deceased' Uchiha Obito. According to the Uchiha clan,

If he had the character of Chiyu, he would definitely attack Kakashi and force him to hand over the Sharingan.

But because of Chiyu's reputation, the Uchiha clan dared not say a word.

Of course, most of the reason was that Chiyu targeted the Uchiha clan, which was no longer a secret in Konoha.

However, Chiyu was able to target the Uchiha clan without any problems, which was also a reflection of his reputation.

Hyuga Hizashi knew his situation very well. It can be said that as a branch family, he had no chance of success and had to be ready to sacrifice for the main family at any time.

This was his duty as a branch family, he could not hide, and he could not hide.

He was the head of the branch family. If he hid, the main family would definitely make things difficult for the branch family, so he absolutely could not escape.

But Hyuga Hizashi really didn't want Hyuga Neji to be like himself, unable to control his own destiny, like a slave, and could only dedicate himself to the main family for his whole life.

If Hyuga Neji takes Chiba as his master, although he cannot change the situation of being a caged bird when he was 3 years old, at least Hyuga Neji's life safety can be guaranteed.

If the main family wants to sacrifice Hyuga Neji in the future, they have to consider whether they can withstand Chiba's anger.

Chiba can target the once arrogant Uchiha clan to the extent that they even avoid Chiba, so naturally they can target the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, it can be said that Hyuga Neji is lucky to take Chiba as his master.

Hyuga Hizashi immediately expressed his opinion: "Chiba, you can like Neji, this is Neji's luck. If I refuse, it is equivalent to being sorry for Neji. I have to thank you Chiba."

Chiba smiled and said: "I believe Neji will be a talent in the future, so I will teach Neji to be a talent without reservation."

Hearing Chiba's promise, Hyuga Hizashi was very excited.

He had come to attend Minato Namikaze's wedding just to go through the motions, but he had the good fortune to have his son favored by Chiyu.

Hinata Hizashi was overjoyed, praising Hinata Neji for waking up just in time, and for holding Chiyu's fingers so well, it was like holding a new future!

Hinata Hizashi wanted to settle this matter immediately, so he said, "Chiyu, I will bring Neji to visit you in two days, and I'll bother you and Kushina then."

Chiyu nodded and said, "How can it be a bother if the head of the Hizashi family comes to visit in person? Kushina and I are looking forward to the visit of the head of the Hizashi family."
