Hearing this, the Third Hokage frowned. Why did he feel that Homura Mitokado and the others weren't taking the safety of the Hyuga Main Family seriously?
Utatane Koharu, who was standing nearby, saw through the Third Hokage's thoughts, cleared her throat, and said, "Ahem, Hiruzen, I don't think that even if something happened to a member of the Hyuga Main Family, it would affect the overall battle situation.
On the contrary, sacrificing one or two Main Family members would be more conducive to the unity between the Hyuga Main Family and the Branch Family, and it could alleviate the conflicts within the Hyuga Clan."
"Hiruzen, while Koharu's words aren't pleasant to hear, they are objective facts. Given the current situation, the death of one Hyuga Main Family member makes it easier for us to control the situation.
The Hyuga Main Family probably thinks so too. That's why the ones they send to the battlefield are generally mediocre trash in terms of talent and strength. If trash like that dies, it won't affect the Main Family at all, and it might even reduce some of the Branch Family's dissatisfaction with the Main Family," Homura Mitokado added.
"Hiruzen, war is cruel. In the wars fought by the Hyuga Clan, only Branch Family members have died on the battlefield; not a single Main Family member has been harmed.
Every time a Branch Family member dies, the Branch Family's resentment towards the Main Family increases. This resentment needs an outlet, and the death of a Main Family member at this time is the most suitable way. This is the best method to reconcile the conflicts between the two sides," Danzo said.
"But what about the Byakugan? Kirigakure's goal is the Hyuga Clan's Bloodline Limit!" the Third Hokage asked.
"Didn't Koharu just say? We can place this Hyuga Main Family member in a relatively central position in the camp, and have several reconnaissance squads with excellent sensory abilities protect him in shifts. If any problem is detected, they immediately call for help.
It's not important whether we manage to save the Hyuga Main Family member; the crucial thing is preventing the Byakugan's bloodline from leaking out," Danzo replied.
After hearing Danzo's words, the Third Hokage fell silent for a moment before letting out a long sigh, clearly acquiescing to the plan.
Ever since the Third Hokage arrived at the Ninja Academy, the atmosphere there had grown increasingly tense, especially for the fourth grade.
Now, all courses for the fourth grade had become war-related, and the frequency of practical combat lessons was increasing, often involving students from Class 1 and Class 2 training together.
In this manner, more than half a month passed, and only one week remained until graduation.
During this half-month period, Uchiha En gained a total of 36 attribute points through the text game.
He gained 1 point on 8 days, 2 points on 9 days, and 5 points on 2 days.
And the two days he gained 5 attribute points also brought some extra rewards.
These two text games took place in the One Piece World and the Tom and Jerry World, respectively.
In the One Piece World, Uchiha En did not become a pirate this time, but instead joined the Navy.
Uchiha En worked his way up in the Navy for over a decade, finally becoming a Major in a Navy Branch and learning Shigan from the Rokushiki techniques.
Unfortunately, shortly after learning Shigan, he encountered Kid, one of the Supernovas, and was immediately defeated (GG).
And the skill Shigan was the reward this time.
In the Tom and Jerry World, Uchiha En turned into a mouse and successfully tricked Tom along with Jerry. Afterward, he and Jerry separately set off for other cities.
This was the only text game Uchiha En had participated in so far where he lived to die of old age.
After this text game ended, Uchiha En received 5 attribute points, as well as a bottle of Tom's specially made power-up milk.
After drinking this milk, his Strength, Speed, Chakra reserves, and Constitution would all double for a duration of half an hour. There were no major side effects, except for some weakness after the effect wore off, requiring 24 hours of bed rest.
This was a life-saving item, so Uchiha En naturally stored it away carefully.
Uchiha En also learned Shigan, but Shigan didn't have a huge effect compared to other abilities. After all, this was just the most ordinary Shigan. If it were the long-range Shigan used by CP0 in the One Piece World, its utility would likely be much greater.
And today, Uchiha En had another chance to spin the wheel and enter a text game.
He returned to his room, lay directly on the bed, and spun the wheel.
"You have logged into Tokyo Ghoul."
"Wow! It's Ghoul this time!" Uchiha En instantly became excited.
The anime Tokyo Ghoul had appeared exactly during Uchiha En's most chuunibyou phase.
So much so that Uchiha En still had the habit of cracking his fingers with one hand right up until he transmigrated.
"You were born in District 1, Chiyoda Ward, which is a gathering place for Ghouls and the location of the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau Headquarters."
"Because Ghouls have been appearing more and more frequently recently, your parents worried about encountering them, so your family moved to the relatively safer District 20."
"You grew up safe and happy in District 20."
"You attended high school."
"You fell in love with one of your high school classmates. She had long, dark, beautiful hair, excellent athletic ability, and loved to smile. She was the Class Beauty."
"Originally, you thought you wouldn't stand a chance with such a beautiful and excellent girl."
"But one day, when you were secretly watching her, you realized she was secretly watching you too. Your eyes met in the air, and you both simultaneously turned your heads away."
"Your heart pounded rapidly. You felt like you were in love."
"The next day, you confessed your feelings to her, and she accepted."
"Your relationship progressed very quickly."
"That weekend, you went to a hotel together."
"You took a shower with an anxious heart."
"When you came out of the bathroom, she was already sitting on the bed wearing sexy pajamas."
"You lunged forward."
"After you experienced some 'growth,' she asked if you wanted something more exciting. You said yes."
"Hearing this, she smiled, and a blood-red Kagune from behind her directly pierced your heart."
"Before your consciousness faded, you saw her tears and heard her say that she truly loved you and had given her first time to you. After speaking, she opened her mouth wide and bit through your throat."
"Game over!"
"Gained Attribute Points x2, The Ghoul Girl's Love."
"Friendly Reminder: This is the first time you have found love in the world of the Text Game. If you gain the love of 10 different people, you will receive a surprise."
As the text disappeared, Uchiha En opened his eyes.
In fact, from the moment the text game developed into him and the female classmate falling in love, Uchiha En had guessed what would happen next.
With this kind of development, it would be strange if the female classmate wasn't a Ghoul!
But what surprised Uchiha En was that it seemed this female classmate genuinely liked him.
Liked him enough to kill him and eat him personally.
The tears the classmate shed, the words she spoke, and the final hint given by the text game were the best proof.
However, Uchiha En found this kind of love somewhat unacceptable; he valued his life greatly.
