thump thump——
Boom boom boom——
The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers sounded in unison.
It is intertwined with the sound of children playing and adults discussing.
Today's Hyuga clan is particularly Zhang Yang, changing from the usual low-key style of behavior in the village.
The high fence separates their family from Konoha alone. Only Hyuga can enjoy this excitement and joy.
All kinds of food stalls can be seen everywhere on the streets of the clan land, but these are not stores that sell, but are provided free of charge to those in need in the clan.
Occasionally, there are confident Chūnin members who set up a ring and invite other ninjas in the clan to come forward to challenge and learn from actual combat, so that the children in the clan can see the power of ninjas earlier.
People of the same clan, everyone yelled and cheered, and they didn't turn red when they were beaten, and their strikes were very measured.
The annual family festival will be held today.
In the clan, the famous and promising clan members in history are enshrined in the deepest part of the family mourning hall.
And today, their spiritual seats will all be invited out to tour the clan grounds, so that their heroic souls can see the changes of the clan every moment.
But apart from these, today's center is still in the meeting hall near the main house.
I just worshiped the ancestors from the mourning hall, and their spirit seats were invited out of the mourning hall to be carried by the selected ninjas for a parade.
As the head of the clan, Hyuga Hiashi and the elders of the clan, Hyuga Hizashi, and Jōnin can't wait to gather in the meeting hall, preparing to share what happened in the clan last year and what they plan to do in the next year. Do a tidy up and arrangement in general.
In previous years, Ryosuke and Hinata did not participate in such meetings.
Ryosuke has no time here, and Hinata has no qualifications.
But this year, they are all fortunate to sit in this hall and discuss matters with the elites of the clan.
"Today... is the beginning of winter, and it is also the family's annual festival."
Sitting on the main seat, Hyuga Hiashi faced the elites and clan elders in various positions in the clan with a straight face, "According to the past practice, I have confirmed all the business documents that you submitted to me before the clan meeting. Clear and organized."
"But before we start discussing some of your opinions on the development of the family, my daughter... the future heir of the family head—Hyūga Hinata has something to say to you."
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the atmosphere inside the meeting hall is relatively solemn and traditional.
There are no common and convenient tables and chairs, and everyone, including Hyuga Hiashi, only has a fluffy futon as a cushion.
Everyone sat on the ground with nothing to eat, not even water.
Sitting on the left side of Hyuga Hiashi, Hinata moved forward after he spoke, and looked at the clansmen in front of her with the same serious attitude as her father, "I believe everyone knows who I am. Here, I won’t introduce myself much.”
"Because at present, I am only the heir of the Patriarch, not the Patriarch, so here I call you seniors, seniors in the ninja profession."
Her tone was firm and serious.
And below, many Hyuga people who already knew what she was going to say next were very excited and showed it to the outside.
But those who didn't know all looked at each other in blank dismay, full of doubts.
Among them, several elders who are highly respected in the clan are also included.
"Actually, what I want to say is very simple. To sum it up in just one sentence, it is to change the ancient clan system so that our clan is no longer a lifeless one."
Hinata glanced at the people below, and said confidently, "I want to remove the sharp sword engraved with Caged Bird so that it will no longer hang above everyone's heads..."
"presumptuous!"
But before Hinata could finish what she wanted to say, a white-haired old man directly below her spoke and interrupted her.
Seeing that the old man was trembling with anger from this sentence, he stretched out his arm and pointed at Hinata with his skinny fingers, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"
But soon, he turned his attention to Hyuga Hiashi again, "Hiashi, I know that you have great opinions on some things in the clan, and I also know that you don't care about the opinions of us old men."
"But if you have something to say, just say it. There is no need for such a little girl to block the knife, let alone threaten us with such unfilial words."
"You, the owner of Hyuga, don't be childish!"
Obviously, this family has always misunderstood something.
I always thought that Hyuga Hiashi was dissatisfied with the interference he arranged because they elders, so he wanted to use Hinata to convey some of his ideas and beat them.
Except for the irritable-looking elder, the other elders sitting in the elder's position were relatively calm, but they all stared at Hyuga Hiashi, waiting for his reply.
But behind them, the rest of the Hyuga family, the elites of the family that Hinata and the others hadn't had time to contact during this period, were a little dazed and at a loss.
Change... clan system?
"Old Yixiong, please don't get me wrong, this is not what my father meant."
But for this impolite old man, Hinata was obviously very gracious, and was not angry or discouraged by it, but looked at him quietly, and waited until he finished speaking before speaking again.
"I came up with this matter myself, and my father agrees with this matter."
"In the clan, more than half of the people are willing to support the family reform I proposed."
Sure enough, still a little young.
Sitting on the other side of Hyuga Hiashi, Ryosuke didn't expect Hinata to throw the card so quickly, but it didn't matter.
She grew up very quickly. From him and her father, she learned to look at things from various angles and to consider in a longer-term direction.
But... the way of talking and negotiating, and the way of doing things to realize one's inner thoughts are still relatively immature.
"More than half of the people?"
The clan elder named Kazuo snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced at the other people behind him, and after a while he turned his head again and put his gaze on Hinata, "You little baby, what reform method can you come up with?" ?”
"Although you are the future heir of the family, it is not that there is no one who can replace you. I think your sister is good. I heard that she has recently started to practice the Gentle Fist method, which is much faster than you were back then."
"Hyuga, it's not your word, it's not something you can change with just a word."
Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, he doesn't think that Hinata, a little guy who hasn't graduated from ninja school, can have any abilities.
"Of course I have thought about these things seriously, otherwise I would not have been able to convince my father."
Keeping a dignified posture on his face, Hinata glanced directly at the elder Kazuo in front of him, "First of all, as an elite in the clan, I don't know if the seniors have noticed something."
"It's been too long since we've had a real genius in our clan, I mean... like the Uchiha clan."
For this matter, she is very confident.
And rather than convincing the elders present, Hinata prefers to inform other people present of such a matter.
Therefore, she did not answer the question of the old and the old of the male clan.
"In the long history of Hyuga, I found that there are too few ninjas of our clan who can stand out. I think our corrupt and old-fashioned system has obscured the eyes of the clan to look into the sky."
"The moment the clansmen are branded with the Caged Bird mark, the moment the clansmen in the branch house understand the meaning of their existence, in fact, the upper limit for many people has already been set."
"Perhaps at the beginning, the purpose of this system was to protect the pure blood of the main family, but as time went by, this system has gradually deteriorated, and it has begun to corrupt our family like maggots... ..."
Every word and every sentence was transmitted very clearly into the ears of everyone present.
Hinata spread out some things that people in the branch house would not think about or dare to think about.
And her confident and generous attitude caused many people present to have unexpected ideas.
It also includes Hyuga Hizashi.
In the impression of many of them, Hinata used to be like a child of an ordinary family, without the grandeur that an ancient family should have.
Even, cowardly.
But now, they saw her change from her body.
I feel completely different, even surpassing the tolerance of many peers.
However, this does not mean that the elders present will be easily persuaded by her.
If it was that easy, they wouldn't have given Hyuga Hiashi a headache.
"I admit, I underestimated a little guy like you."
The old man of the Yixiong clan is not the kind of guy who doesn't distinguish between black and white and makes trouble for no reason based on his age.
He first started to refute after thinking about Hinata's system just now, "Although what you said is very reasonable, but if something exists, it has the meaning of its existence."
"These systems are the essence of our Hyuga's survival for thousands of years."
"Once upon a time, like us, the famous family in the Sengoku period, how many families can exist today?"
After confirming that Hinata is not running on them old people under the instruction of Hyuga Hiashi, and confirming that Hinata is not just making some play-like proposals on a whim, his attitude has improved a lot.
But always, it seems stubborn and feudal.
"Little Hinata, I have something to say too."
Among the clan elders, the Hyuga Nai clan elder who was older than one of the Xiong clan elders also said: "The main house and the branch house system exist not only to protect the purity of the blood, but also to protect the clan members."
"The branch house protects the main family, and the main family also becomes a cage that restricts the branch house, so that the family will not continue to lose money due to power struggles, and eventually die in the internal struggle."
"The Caged Bird engraving exists because of this."
"I also have something to say."
Another clan elder spoke.
one by one.
These clan elders can live for so long and still hold high positions in the clan, so they must have certain abilities.
The problems that the patriarch Hyuga Hiashi did not see clearly, and the problems that the initiator of the reform Hyūga Hinata did not see clearly, were raised by them one by one.
Even Ryosuke, who has always been a bystander, did not realize part of what they proposed.
As he once believed, no system is absolutely perfect and without loopholes.
Any system, as long as you want to find it, if you have the courage to find it, you will definitely gain something.
Ryosuke previously felt that maybe there were a majority of the family supporting this card, and this group of people would not be willing to stand up against the dissatisfaction of the majority.
But it just so happens that this group of elders are the kind of people who have lived for too long, are not afraid of death, and dare to withstand the pressure of the majority of the family to find loopholes.
Of course, there is also a part of the reason, because Hinata gave them too much time to think, and did not play a good hand with a clearer pattern.
"This……"
Hinata, who was still sitting firmly with her arms upright, began to feel a little bit unable to answer the questions one after another.
But she didn't seem impatient, or at a loss.
Instead, he was thinking hard, trying to answer the questions raised by these clan elders.
So the question is, how should she take into account every problem raised by these elders to improve her reform plan?
"I think this matter should be delayed for a while. When you grow up and understand these things, you can start to implement these things."
Seeing Hinata who couldn't answer, these elders were not particularly embarrassed, and wanted to give her a step.
Hinata's performance today has already made them quite satisfied.
As for their questions, Hinata glanced down with some embarrassment at the other people who supported her.
Want to take a step back?
she thought.
After all, it is not easy for these clan elders to listen to her idea and think about it today.
Judging from their attitude, it seems that they are not holding a pedantic direction on this matter.
In the future, there may really be a chance.
But... do you really want to procrastinate?
"and many more."
But at this moment, an extremely hoarse and subtle voice sounded, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of several clan elders.
Beside them, the most respected and most experienced old man in the clan suddenly called to stop them.
"Great Elder."
Beside him, the few old people who had just spoken stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.
This is an old man whose body is extremely thin, as if he will die at any moment.
Although there is an elder system in the Hyuga clan, there is no hierarchy.
The title of Great Elder was proposed by these clan elders themselves, in order to distinguish their positions from this old man.
In addition to the first elder, Hyuga does not have any second elders, third elders and the like.
This is an old man who has survived since the establishment of Konoha Village and has witnessed Konoha's four Hokage eras. He is much older than many people present.
The oldest person in Hyuga today looked at Hinata with his cloudy yellow eyes, "This system...does he agree with it?"
With an inquiring tone, he asked questions that most people present could not understand.
Who is he?
