In the southeastern part of the Land of Fire, the Hyūga clan is the emperor-like ruler.
The war between the Senju and Uchiha families did not reach here, and other families did not dare to act rashly.
Even if the Land of Whirlpools hates it to the core, it would not cross half of the Land of Fire to start a war.
To put it bluntly, the Hyūga clan had not tried their best before.
If the entire clan really has to attack, the ones who will suffer will definitely be Senju and Uzumaki.
Just a few days ago, the young patriarch of the Senju clan came to visit in person in order to repair the friendly relationship between the two families that had lasted for generations.
The cunning Tennin Hyūga received him with the highest standards of etiquette.
He helped Uchiha purely out of Kyosuke's favor. The value of the Tenseigan was worth it.
Now that he has helped and basically repaid the favor, he will not really get involved in the fight between the two families.
When the young patriarch of the Senju clan came, he had to receive him according to the high-standard etiquette between families.
In other words, the same would happen if Uchiha Madara came.
This is Tennin Hyūga's wisdom in dealing with the world.
Before gaining decisive power, keeping a low profile is the way to survive in troubled times.
The chief of the Hyūga clan was a master at shirking responsibility and making excuses, which made it difficult for the Hashirama brothers who came to visit him.
The two brothers have always worked together very well.
The eldest brother Hashirama pretends to be stupid and points out the root of the problem in a "straight man" way.
The younger brother Tobirama pretended to scold, but in fact he was indirectly confirming his brother's statement and blocking the possibility of the other party's rebuttal.
Not to mention a 100% winning rate, it is really difficult for ordinary people to withstand the brothers' superb performance.
However, Tennin Hyūga taught the two young boys a lesson.
After three days of negotiations, Tobirama was almost exhausted from talking, but he still couldn't find any flaws.
Not to mention threats or inducements, he was almost persuaded to go back home.
Unwilling to give up, Tobirama dragged his elder brother to visit Tennin Hyūga for the fourth time.
"Chief of the Hyūga clan." Before Tobirama could speak, the other party took over the conversation.
"Speaking of which, congratulations to Young Clan Leader Hashirama." Tennin Hyūga held the book in his hands and looked at the two with a faint smile. "The Uzumaki clan is extremely powerful and has an excellent geographical location. They are the most suitable marriage partner for the Senju clan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two young men changed drastically.
The marriage is still under discussion and is limited to the top leaders of the two tribes. How did this old bastard get the information?
Doesn't this mean that Tennin Hyūga has planted spies among the top management of both families?
With just one sentence, he easily shocked the two of them.
You, the Senju clan, are marrying into the Uzumaki clan. Even if my Hyūga clan surrenders to you, I will only be the third oldest clan member. We might even be jointly ostracized by you.
This is the subtext of Tennin Hyūga's words.
The two brothers were not stupid, so how could they not hear the rejection in the words?
Clap, clap, clap! While the two were stunned, the Hyūga clan leader clapped his hands, and then a person slowly walked out from behind the screen into the hall.
This person is none other than the clan leader's disciple, Hisako Hyūga.
"Young Clan Leader Hashirama." Pointing at his apprentice, Tennin Hyūga threw out a trump card.
"Hisako is about your age, and has a gentler and more peaceful temperament. How do you compare her to the Uzumaki Princess, whom I've never met?"
Marry my apprentice and sever ties with the Uzumaki clan, or else don't waste your breath.
Before the two men could recover from the blow, the Hyūga clan leader immediately used a fatal killing method.
Change the marriage partner to Hyūga?
Of course not. Regardless of the intimacy between each other or the family's reputation, the Uzumaki clan is the best choice for Senju.
The geographical gap is even greater. If the two families form an alliance, Senju will become the barrier against foreign enemies.
"Miss Hisako is beautiful, and few women in the world can compare with her."
"The Hyūga clan leader is busy now, so we brothers won't disturb him."
Hashirama pulled up his brother, who looked very unwilling, and fled the meeting room together in embarrassment.
Father, your son can't bear it anymore... Hashirama cried in his heart, wondering why he had to endure this pain.
As for Senju Tobirama, he was eager to rush into the conference room and use that old bastard to test his latest ninjutsu.
"Brother, what should we do?" he asked.
Huh~ He breathed a sigh of relief, and Hashirama's eyes gradually became firm: "This is a necessary step towards peace."
"If we can't even overcome this little difficulty, how can we expect to bring about change to the Land of Fire?"
In a word, don't be discouraged and continue tomorrow.
...
In the conference room, Hisako Hyūga stood there expressionlessly, like a walking corpse.
Seeing this, Tennin Hyūga, who had been so gentle just now, suddenly became furious and slapped his disciple away with a slap.
"Useless stuff."
He seemed to be in a bad mood.
For such a long time, there was no movement in Ōtsutsuki's chakra.
Not to mention opening the Tenseigan, even the host Hisako is no longer bothered.
The disciple had explained that the alien chakra was indeed merging with himself, but the process was too slow.
If you want to achieve results, it will take at least several decades to settle down.
By that time, don't even mention himself, his son will be dead, and Tennin Hyūga can't wait that long.
There are actually only two paths left for him now.
First, he took the risk of transplanting chakra into his son. Perhaps the pure Hyūga bloodline was the key to opening the Tenseigan.
Second, return to the moon and use your strength to seize the Tenseigan from the enemy.
Both have their drawbacks, it depends on how he chooses.
Next to the scattered chairs, Hisako Hyūga slowly got up from the ground, as respectful and cautious as usual.
Even the blood at the corner of her mouth had not been wiped away yet.
It is precisely because of this display of subservience that the fact that the bird had already been freed from the cage is concealed.
Otherwise, even with Kyosuke's cover, he would be exposed immediately if Tennin Hyūga made the slightest attempt.
After venting his anger, Tennin Hyūga instantly turned gentle and asked softly, "Remember you said before that Uchiha Kyosuke is not dead yet?"
"Yes." Hisako nodded and gave an unexpected news: "According to the spies' report, Uchiha Kyosuke is heading towards our clan."
"Haha, are you worried that I will turn to Senju?" Tennin Hyūga smiled strangely, and many thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind.
If you want to go to the moon, you must rely on the other party's help.
When asking for help, you must show sincerity.
So how much value does rejecting Senju's alliance request have in the eyes of the young man?
As for the situation in the Rain Country, the Hyūga clan didn't care at all.
With Uchiha leading the way, what is there to be afraid of?
At this moment, Tennin Hyūga was not aware that the enemy he was thinking about had already landed from the moon and gathered enough power to destroy the entire family.
When the Uchiha clan can no longer hold on, the next to be destroyed will be the Hyūga clan.
"Get ready, let's welcome our long-lost guest." Tennin Hyūga prepared to get up and leave.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically and he looked up at the 11 o'clock direction.
"Don't bother me, Hyūga clan leader. I'm already here."
Before he finished speaking, Kyosuke appeared in the courtyard.
