Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

Hyuga Family Affairs (1)

The value of a person does not depend on who he is, but what he has accomplished.

Neji breathed deeply, and the surging chakra surged through the body of the white-clothed boy like a layer of invisible water. The waterfall water falling from the sky flowed down as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier, not getting wet at all. Teenage clothing. Even the current head of the family, Hinata Hizashi, probably has this kind of exquisite chakra control.

Regular practice every day has been a habit that Neji has developed since he was a child. When he finally felt a little tired, he slowly stopped, thus announcing the temporary end of practice.

"Master Neji."

A maid from the branch family waiting beside the waterfall was obviously used to this. When she saw the other party completely stop her posture, she bowed and said, "Master, please come over and talk."

"The call from the head of the family? I'll be there right away. Thank you for your hard work."

After two years, Neji's status among the Hyuga clan has also undergone subtle changes. As a genius whose soft boxing skills are rare in hundreds of years, he has enough qualifications to be respected. Although he did lose to Hinata in the Chunin Exam, it does not mean that he can no longer make progress. On the contrary, after getting the training ideas of Nandou Waterside Boxing, his strength has been qualitatively improved.

It is precisely because of Neji's rapid progress in Soft Fist that Hinata and Hanabi no longer need to be forced by the elders to practice Soft Fist. Although this forcing is not likely to be of much use to Hinata, at least it saves them. caused a lot of trouble. Moreover, after the knot in his heart was opened, Ningji truly became an outstanding family member from a rebellious thorn. Hinata Hinata also helped Ningci a lot, and he had no secrets in the essence of Rouquan. , it is not an exaggeration to say that Ningci is Nizu’s true choice of boxing successor.

And Hinata Hizatsu was obviously not alone today. There were also several elders of the Hyuga clan gathered around him. Obviously, this was a family meeting held because of necessity.

"Hizu-sama, you called me?"

Entering the lobby respectfully, Neji bowed politely to Hizu on the main seat, while the latter nodded slightly, indicating that the other party should sit down before talking.

"Now that people have arrived, let's talk about it."

The first one to speak was the oldest Hyuga elder. Although except for the Hizu family, the rest of the Hyuga members were all members of branch families who were subject to the curse seal, but their statuses were also different. These elders were from Those who are the strongest and smartest among them are selected to assist the head of the family.

"Ah, actually we don't need to say much, everyone should be able to feel it more or less."

The second elder then spoke, which made Neji frown slightly because he had realized something. Because around Hizu, Hinata and Hanabi, who are Hizu's biological blood, did not show up. Originally, Hinata was not allowed to participate in family meetings because she did not have the qualifications to be the head of the family, but Hanabi was chosen as the head of the family. But now that neither of them showed up, there was naturally a hint of uneasiness.

"We, the Hyuga clan, have been in this world for thousands of years. Long before the age of ninjas came, the Hyuga clan emblem had already been erected on the earth. It has been passed down to this day. It can be said that it is not only the protection of the ancestors, but also the struggle of the clan members. Caused by.”

Rizu obviously realized that he could not avoid it today, so he simply expressed his attitude: "So, if the elders have any opinions, you can say it directly."

"It's good that you know this. You are indeed an excellent family leader, Hizu. However, the current situation of the Hyuga clan is unprecedented, and you must be vigilant."

The third elder spoke with worry: "In terms of inheritance from previous generations, the Hyuga clan has always followed the policy of keeping a low profile and biding its time, and most of the family heads in the past generations have been calm and determined people. Although it seems that our clan is following the old tradition, this is also our clan. The principles on which we are based. And now..."

The entire hall was silent for a brief moment, and it seemed that the air was filled with helplessness and uneasiness. At the same time, Neji raised his head slightly. He had basically understood what the theme of this family meeting was.

"Miss Hinata is indeed a political genius that is rare in a century. She has indeed given the current Hyuga clan unprecedented benefits, but with all due respect, Miss Hinata's feelings towards the clan are quite weak."

As if he couldn't bear it anymore, the first elder spoke again, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be filled with deep uneasiness: "Although I understand what the family did to her when she had poor qualifications in the past, Some cold treatment, but that is also to protect her who is not qualified enough to be the head of the family. However, this is not the reason why she can respond in this way. "

Hiashi's brows also frowned slightly. The meaning of the elders could not be clearer. Hinata's attitude so far showed that she did not have any favorable impression of the Hyuga clan. Although it is a bit reluctant to say this, it is true.

Abandoning the soft fist technique itself is already a symbol of abandoning the inheritance of the Hyuga clan. There is nothing wrong with just abandoning this one. After all, she has also shown the talent of steel fist. It is also a good thing to add another steel fist inheritance to the Hyuga clan. However, what really makes the Hyuga elders uneasy is that as she continues to rise in status and status, she barely borrows any power from the clan. Even when her achievements are enough to make the Hyuga clan bow to her, she still He coldly refused to use the power of the Hyuga clan.

The most representative thing is undoubtedly the identity composition of the key members of the Hinata group. Except for Ningji, who is a bodyguard, Hinata did not let any Hyuga members participate at all. Although the financial share for the Hyuga clan is still sufficient, this is more like her obligation as the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan, rather than responsibility.

Originally, when starting out, it was also wise to unite other family members to maximize the strength of the group. However, as the Hinata group has developed to this day, especially when Hinata is already one of the ruling elders of Konoha, she still has not assigned too many tasks to the Hyuga clan, which undoubtedly makes the elders feel uneasy.

Since it is a family, it is the most rational approach to issues of gain and loss of interests. Just like Hinata was given up because of her lack of qualifications, these elders also know that the only way to show value is to be used and relied on. Hinata's indifference towards the Hyuga clan has fully demonstrated that she doesn't have much nostalgia for the family.

For the current political system in this world, it is necessary to unite various forces at the beginning. However, after the group becomes stable, it is a common practice to slowly replace key members and replace them with close relatives. Just like the Senju clan who founded Konoha Village, although nominally they united many families to establish Konoha Village, after Konoha Village got on the right track, the other families quickly withdrew. administrative core. The only one who didn't know how to flatter and tried to gain more benefits was the Uchiha clan, which was as famous as the Senju clan. It goes without saying what the outcome was.

"So, we called you here because we want to find out from you what the eldest lady thinks about the family."

The second elder turned his attention to Ningji again. This kind of verification was obviously something that the elders had been pondering for a long time. Originally, this question should be asked directly to the main leader Hinata, but Hinata's increasingly prominent status and ability made these elders not very confident.

"The eldest lady is the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan. That's all I've seen."

For such accountability, Neji has no pressure. As the only genius among the twelve young masters currently qualified to become a jounin, he possesses not only strength and intelligence, but also wisdom and rationality. . The most satisfying one is undoubtedly his clear understanding of his own position and value.

"It seems true, you are a smart junior. However, after all, we rely on our own inheritance and laws to pass on to this day. The eldest lady's skills are indeed unmatched, but if she is allowed to treat the Hyuga clan like this, If tradition is ignored, how long can our family pass it on in the years to come?”

The elders were not surprised by Neji's answer, but sighed. Whether Hinata uses the Hyuga clan or not is another matter. The key is that her behavior has clearly shown her abandonment of the traditions of the Hyuga clan so far. She abandoned the conservative kimono in clothing, and chose the unconventional steel fist in boxing skills. Not considering the Hyuga clan members within the team may not seem like a big deal, but if the best members of the Hyuga clan disdain their own family's traditions, how can they expect others to continue passing them on?

Perhaps conservatism and tradition do have their ignorance and backwardness, but it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the unique tradition that a unique clan can grow. A family that abandons its own traditions will sooner or later become obsolete. Compared with the collapse of a family due to disasters and accidents, this kind of decline caused by the lack of culture and tradition is even more ruthless and thorough.

"So, I called you here this time to make you aware. The family tradition cannot be abandoned, and as the best new generation among the Hyuga clan, you should shoulder your responsibilities."

Hinata Hizashi's tone also carried a fatalistic consciousness. In the face of the family's long-term future, he still chose to be the head of the Hyuga family, not his father's identity.

"Starting from tomorrow, you will be in charge of the boxing instructor of the Hyuga clan."

Hyuga Family Affairs (2)

The Hyuga clan's boxing instructor is not a small role, it is basically equivalent to the position of 'teacher'. And for the Hyuga clan, the soft boxing method is a characteristic that has been passed down since the establishment of the family. It is not only a part of its own ancient culture, but also a trump card used to flaunt the family's military strength.

Let's put it this way, there are only two types of boxing instructors in the Hyuga clan in the past generations, and that is the head of the family and the heir of the family head. On the one hand, it is to make the authority of the family head more popular among the people. On the other hand, the family head must basically be the strongest person in the entire Hyuga clan.

In previous generations, there was nothing wrong with this measure. Both Hinata and the family heads before him have shouldered the responsibilities of boxing instructors and family heads very well, but in this generation, there is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

First of all, as the head of the family, Rizu failed to give birth to a son, and the two children he got were both daughters. Although this is not a big deal, after all, even being a matriarch is not the first case. The biggest problem is to choose a husband from the outstanding Hyuga branch family in the future.

Secondly, as the eldest daughter, Hyuga Hinata is not talented enough in soft boxing, which makes her unable to meet her qualifications as an heir. It just so happened that Hinata Hanabi, Nizu's second daughter, showed very good early talent for soft boxing. Therefore, the elders and Hizu all made a conventional decision, which was to abandon the eldest daughter Hinata Hinata and appoint the second daughter Hinata Hanabi as the successor of the family head.

Originally, it was nothing like this. The big deal was just some disputes over abolishing the foolish and establishing the virtuous. According to the rules of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hinata, who has lost her status as the head of the family, should be divided into separate families and be stamped with the Caged Bird Curse. However, Rizu finally showed some kindness as a father in this regard and has not made this decision for a long time. This kind of indecisiveness has made the elders very dissatisfied. They think that Rizu is too indecisive and this is against the rules of the Hyuga clan. violation.

Then a surprising change occurred. Hyuga Hinata, who had been abandoned, suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes. From suddenly hard training in boxing, to uniting with other family members to jointly seize profits, to establishing the Hinata Group and Konoha Publishing House, her various actions made her His personal influence has increased dramatically, and he has even been recognized by the top management of Konoha Village.

This is nothing in itself, because in the eyes of the Hyuga clan, it is not a bad thing to have a family member who can make money. Anyway, there is a share for the Hyuga clan, and it is a good thing that everyone can live in peace.

However, as the situation developed, the elders gradually saw that the eldest daughter of Hyuga who they had abandoned became more and more powerful. Not only in terms of personal political influence, but also in one fell swoop in the Chunin Exam, he defeated Hinata Neji, a soft fist genius recognized by the elders at the time, and this influence was quite fatal.

Hinata was abandoned because the Hyuga clan only needed a 'strong person' as the clan leader. But now that she has suddenly become so powerful, she has far surpassed the chosen Hinata Hanabi. According to the rules, the Hyuga clan should give up Hanabi and re-establish Hinata as the next clan leader.

But such repetition will not only damage the face of the Hyuga clan, but also lead to the decline of the authority of the elders. After all, they were the ones who believed that Hinata could only spend her life as a weakling based on the so-called 'destiny' theory. If you regret and change your words now, it will be like a slap in the face. Fortunately, Hinata still left a flaw in the end, that is, she was not using the traditional soft fist method of the Hyuga clan, but a weird steel fist.

Since the head of the Hyuga family needs to maintain and carry forward the traditions of the Hyuga clan, including the soft boxing method, Hinata, who uses steel fists, still lacks in the qualifications of the family head.

In addition, Hinata didn't seem to be planning to compete with her sister in public for the so-called title of head of the family, so the elders temporarily gave up the idea of ​​announcing a decision immediately, and decided to wait and see: if Hanabi, who used the soft fist, came from behind, Can he surpass Hinata Hinata in strength again?

However, this kind of ostrich idea was obviously a failure. Hinata's personal strength did not improve significantly in the following years, but her influence as a political figure increased day by day, not only the vigorous development of the Hinata group , and her series of policy actions approved by the fifth generation Hokage Tsunade, she was even selected as the political elder of Konoha Village.

Then Tsunade was suddenly assassinated, and Danzo followed suit. Koharu and Mito Kaden finally decided on the governing policy of the elder regent. As one of the elders, Hinata suddenly became one of the uncrowned kings of Konoha Village.

The situation has reached this point, even if the elders pretend to be deaf and dumb, they know they can't delay it any longer. After all, when it is rare for a high-level political figure to appear in the Hyuga clan, it is undoubtedly an extremely irrational act to impose a separation curse on him. But if we don’t do this, where will the so-called clan rules be placed? Therefore, the best thing to do is undoubtedly to simply declare Hinata as the head of the Hyuga family, so that everyone will be happy.

This was supposed to be the case, but Hinata's attitude towards the traditional culture of the Hyuga clan made this decision hit a rough patch again. It seems that because she was abandoned since childhood, she is quite indifferent to the culture of the Hyuga clan. Although she will occasionally ask members of the Hyuga clan to do something, fundamentally speaking, she has no intention of getting close to her own family. .

This attitude towards the family made it clear to Hizu and the elders that she could not be a qualified head of the Hyuga family. Maybe she can bring extraordinary benefits and prestige to the Hyuga clan, but that's just because her surname happens to be Hinata. And without the maintenance of the family head, the decline of tradition and culture is only a thin line away. Especially the more influential she becomes, the more her attitude contributes to this downfall.

In particular, Hinata Hanabi seems to have been led astray by her 'strong and intelligent' sister. Not only does she practice steel boxing in private, but she also casually imitates her sister in her private life. She is indeed a child who has a good awareness of revitalizing Hinata, but because of this, when she thinks that Hinata is much stronger than her, this awareness makes her completely lose her determination to continue fighting with Hinata, and He only thinks that his sister can become the head of the family. As for the so-called traditional family culture, she is not old enough to understand these things.

Therefore, the Hyuga clan is now facing a very difficult situation: Miss Hyuga, who has sufficient power and reputation, disdains the family culture, and Hanabi, the only remaining Hyuga clan, has succumbed to her sister's power and Under wisdom. However, both the elders and Hizu knew very well that Miss Hinata was definitely not a qualified head of the family.
