"Hyuga Patriarch."
"Patriarch Sagi."
"Captain Shanks..."
In front of Ryosuke's house, everyone introduced each other and entered the house after some greetings.
In the living room, everyone sat down according to their seats.
Afterwards, the butler, A Liang personally brought snacks and tea, and placed them in front of each table.
After tasting first, and after the two guests praised the deliciousness of the dim sum, Hyuga Hiashi started talking about the business.
"I have heard the name of the Four Emperors for a long time, but I, Hyuga, have never had the chance to see it because of the distance of a world. Today, I am lucky to experience the legendary Conqueror's Haki."
Looking at Shanks who was one seat behind Nozomi Sagi, Hyuga Hiashi said blankly, "Ryosuke's promise is equal to our Hyuga's promise. Captain Shanks will be our Hyuga's best partner."
In front of outsiders, he has always been so serious.
Shanks smiled modestly, "Patriarch Hyuga praised me a lot. In fact, I am also very interested in the profession of ninja."
Sitting beside him, Sagi Nozomi, who was still smiling, froze.
This... What is the identity of this Shanks, why do they seem to be acquainted? But since they are acquaintances, why doesn't Shanks know about ninjas?
Before, he didn't think that Hyuga would pay more attention to Shanks between himself and Shanks,
After all, Shanks, as a samurai, had some unusual skills and killed a group of good wave ninjas, but with the strength of the Hyuga family, he shouldn't take it so seriously, right?
As for Nozomi Sagi, the Sagi family behind him is different, they can bring greater benefits to Hyuga.
The development of the current situation has made Nozomi Sagi feel a lot of doubts in her heart. The original doubts about Shanks' identity have been gradually expanded infinitely.
Captain Shanks? It seems that Hyuga Ryosuke is also always calling him the captain...
"No matter what Captain Shanks wants to know, we will definitely help. If it is convenient, you just want to join us Hyuga, we are all welcome."
Hyuga Hiashi spoke in a deep voice, with a generous appearance, showing no secrets.
"Hyuga Patriarch is very polite."
Kaidō of Shanks courtesy,
But before Hyuga Hiashi could speak again, he changed the topic again, "But... the meaning of Patriarch Hyuga, is it possible to tell me about the inheritance of secret arts of Hyuga family?"
As he said that, he stared at Hyuga Hiashi with a playful smile, as if it was just a joke.
Fool! Is it okay to ask this kind of thing casually!
Involving other people's family secrets, it was obviously rude to ask this question, and Sagi Nozomi beside him clenched his fists.
He was afraid that he would not be able to get out of Konoha.
But what Sagi Nozomi couldn't believe was that Hyuga Hiashi nodded kindly, "Of course, if you need it."
?
Really gave it?
Nozomi Sagi's heart is full of question marks, but now he can see it,
I originally thought it was the main dish, but it was actually just a side dish in this appointment, and it was just a side dish!
"But there is one thing I want to ask Captain Shanks."
And at this moment, Hyuga Hiashi, who has been very kind from the beginning to the end, said again, "Our Ryosuke has always wanted to compete with Captain Shanks. Is it convenient?"
It seemed like a casual question, but Shanks knew what it meant when he heard it.
Sincerity.
One message for another message, one secret technique for another secret technique.
Shanks smiled wryly at Kaidō: "Then when it's convenient for me, I will definitely come to borrow the secret art from Hyuga's family."
The implication is that it will not be changed for the time being.
In this regard, Hyuga Hiashi did not continue to ask.
Although these secret arts of the Hyuga family are no longer as hidden as before, they are not so easy for outsiders to see.
Of course, if you can exchange some otherworld's secret techniques, then it's definitely possible, because it's worth it.
"However, Patriarch Sagi said before that he would cooperate with me, Hyuga. I don't know what kind of cooperation it is about?"
Because Shanks was in the house, Ryosuke never let go of his vigilance, and naturally his white eyes were always open.
He could clearly see the facial expressions and actions of everyone in the room.
As for Nozomi Sagi, who was sitting next to Shanks, who had been making subtle movements, Ryosuke could more or less guess what was going on in his mind.
Just when the topic was over, he raised a question.
Sitting on the main seat, Hyuga Hiashi straightened his back and set his eyes on Nozomi Sagi, "Yes, Patriarch Sagi, I have been looking forward to the business you mentioned for a long time."
"..."
Seeing that the topic finally came to him, Nozomi Sagi was a little unresponsive.
After being stunned for a moment, he forced a smile and nodded, "It's just some business cooperation, Patriarch Hyuga, this business can be big or small..."
But as he spoke, Nozomi Sagi's voice became softer.
"But I hope that our two clans can have a closer cooperative relationship. When the young master Ryosuke was a guest of our clan, he once said that the decoration of our Sagi house is no worse than that of the Daimyo Prefecture..."
After a pause, he suddenly changed the topic, and suddenly looked at Hyuga Hiashi seriously, "If you can help Sagi get to the position of Daimyo of the Fire Country, I am willing to share the world with Hyuga, even... if Hyuga If you want to fight for the position of Hokage, I am willing to help you!"
This sudden remark was definitely something that Ryosuke and the others did not expect.
They were also stunned for a long time before they looked at each other in blank dismay, their expressions were a little weird.
Could this matter of stealing the country be said so casually?
"Please help the Hyuga family to help my Sagi family become a daimyo."
Before Ryosuke and the others could give a reply, Nozomi Sagi stood up decisively,
The gray-haired old man bent down and bowed to Ryosuke and the others, Hyuga, whether it was Hyuga Hiashi, or Ryosuke and Hinata, the two juniors, had the same attitude.
Being able to be the core nobleman of the Land of Fire, Nozomi Sagi's knowledge and thinking are naturally not simple,
Although at the beginning, limited to intelligence reasons, he didn't react.
But soon, when he carefully recalled the contact between Ryosuke and Shanks, and the words of Hyuga Hiashi just now, and finally relying on his understanding of this ninja world, he couldn't help but make a bold guess.
There is another world on this planet!
Shanks is so powerful, but he is not a ninja, and he doesn't understand the common sense of the ninja world at all.
This kind of knowledge is not so lacking even for people in the mountains.
And the Hyuga family knew this sudden samurai better than he, the first discoverer, and knew what kind of captain he was!
A world away, a world away!
Sagi Nozomi bent over, but Hyuga Hiashi's words just now kept appearing in his heart.
Yes, these ninjas must be hiding something.
Perhaps it is similar to things like the outer world and the inner world in the biographical myth. Those so-called space-time ninjutsu should be developed by interspersing the shuttle between the outer world and the inner world!
Although it was just speculation, due to some details revealed by Hyuga in a short period of time, he still decisively surrendered.
Shanks looked confused, although he heard clearly and understood what they said, but...
Why do you want to change the world while chatting?
"Patriarch Sagi, speak carefully."
This matter came out of the blue, and it is definitely not something that can be agreed casually, so Hyuga Hiashi said calmly to Kaidō: "Let's talk about other cooperation. Keep it a secret for you."
Although they have never been in contact before, they are not afraid of Hyuga, no matter whether the Sagi family is sincere or not.
The only thing that affects their decision is whether the effort is worthwhile compared to the gain.
So this matter still needs to be negotiated with the clan, or at least most of the clansmen in charge must agree.
The meeting they started in the early morning, the direction of the discussion was planning to move the whole family to the Land of Rain.
"Then... then let's talk about other things."
Nozomi Sagi sat back in his seat with regret. He also knew that his behavior was a bit abrupt, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
At least through the reaction given by Hyuga Hiashi and the others, he can probably see that their Hyuga clan is not incapable of doing this.
What is missing now... may just be trust between each other.
"Of course there are other things. Many children in our family are working in various places in the Fire Country, and some are even sent abroad, so I plan to cooperate with the Hyuga clan and equip each of them with a guard... protect their people."
Since the cooperation failed, Nozomi Sagi could only talk about the originally intended method of cooperation.
Hyuga Hiashi nodded, "Of course, we are very skilled in this task..."
It's not just talking about cooperation, but occasionally talking about the difficulties and solutions encountered when governing a city or a clan.
The people present were more or less experienced as managers, especially Nozomi Sagi, who governed hundreds of thousands of civilians. The difficulty of this governance is not much easier than fighting a war.
And even Hinata, who has the shortest experience among the few, encounters some problems in the family logistics.
The atmosphere didn't froze, and the topic continued,
They chatted until the evening, when the sky darkened unknowingly, only some of them woke up and sighed that the time passed too quickly.
Especially Shanks, the chat this afternoon gave him a lot of inspiration as a captain,
Many confusions about the emotions of the crew and the governance of the people on the territory were suddenly cleared up.
If it weren't for being in a different world now, he might have to directly overhaul his crew, establish rules, and then take care of the several sites where protection fees are collected.
And since Shanks and Nozomi Sagi plan to stay in Konoha for a while, the accommodation is naturally arranged by Hyuga,
Dinner, of course, is also held at Hyuga's main house.
After returning home from school, Hanabi was not afraid of strangers when she saw guests coming to her house. Instead, she was very curious about them. After all, she has never had contact with anyone other than ninjas or people outside the village.
After dinner, Nozomi suddenly proposed to go for a walk and take a look at the number one ninja village in the ninja world, and planned to take Shanks together.
For this, Shanks did not refuse,
Taking advantage of the night, the two of them just went out with their hands behind their backs like two old men who were taking a leisurely stroll.
"He should have noticed something."
At the door of Hyuga's house, the Ryosuke family watched the two of them leave.
But Hinata suddenly said: "Patriarch Sagi seems to have noticed the identity of Captain Shanks, maybe... he wants to use this walk to test something."
"It does not matter."
Ryosuke shook his head, "As an ordinary person, even if he knows, he can't participate in anything,"
"And even if this news is revealed, it will not affect us Hyuga. We have already made a lot of preparations, and we have taken a few steps ahead of many forces."
"If the general trend of the battle of foreign worlds really comes, we will definitely have no problem standing firm, but if we want to go further, we have to look at the situation."
"Why do you talk about this all day..."
Hinata was about to open his mouth to say something more, but Hanabi turned around angrily and went back to the room.
"This……"
Looking helplessly at the back of her sister leaving, Hinata felt a headache, "It seems that I have spoiled her too much, her temperament...is not quite the same as ours."
She refers to the cautious, steady aspect.
In fact, when Hinata officially graduated from the ninja school and started to handle logistics, as long as Hanabi had time, she would take her with her from time to time.
In the beginning, Hanabi was very happy to work with her.
But facing those boring documents later, I quickly lost interest.
Rather than dealing with affairs and doing some civilian work, Hanabi seems to prefer to participate in battles, and prefers to spend time practicing with other peers.
"Although he is impatient, he is not impulsive. You can't expect every member of the management class in our clan to have the same temperament, right?"
Ryosuke looked at her amusedly, "As long as Hanabi doesn't become that kind of squeamish and savage person, it's acceptable to be a little more energetic, isn't it?"
"At least... for a family to develop, in addition to literature and martial arts, it is also indispensable."
"It's like the era before Sengoku. In addition to setting up daimyo to rule the world, each country will also have Admiral to control the military power. Hanabi's talent in combat is better than yours. In the future, she may become the most reliable Admiral of your daimyo. .”
It is a good choice for the sisters to be of one heart, one piece of paper and one weapon.
Thinking about it this way, Hinata thinks it makes sense, "But even if she wants to become a combatant, she must have a cultural foundation."
"If the leader is an idiot who can only charge forward, then the people under him will not have the courage to charge forward."
"Then you can try to arrange for her to participate in the newly established corps in the clan. For example, after Iroha comes back, you can let him show Hanabi a glimpse of collective life and how the formation of troops for war is arranged."
Of course, Ryosuke would not refuse this proposal.
"Then I can arrange a small team for her first, similar to...boy scouts or something."
That being said, Hinata has a lot of ideas.
Sitting on the corridor in the courtyard, the two are a bit like a husband and wife discussing how to educate their children.
In terms of education, Hyuga Hiashi no longer has any right to speak, so he turned around and went back to the house to rest early.
