Chapter 155: Overwhelmed (for subscription)
"Miss Hinata is the child of the Hiashi patriarch. From the moment she was born, most people in our clan recognized that she was the next patriarch heir. How can this matter be changed?"
As an important festival of the family, the clan meeting is an annual event in the Hyuga clan.
Almost all the ninjas in the Hyuga clan gathered in the large open space in front of the mourning hall, waiting for the statue of the ancestor heroic soul to be invited out from the mourning hall.
And such a serious link as offering incense and inviting spirits in front of the mourning hall is only eligible for the patriarch or heir of the clan.
On the high platform, except for Ryosuke, the three main family members, several clan elders, and Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch house, no one else is qualified to step on it.
But Hinata had just received the pillar-shaped long incense, and was about to prostrate to the spirit, when several people stood up from the crowd to stop it.
They believe that Hinata's strength and talent are not enough to be the heir of the patriarch.
And if someone opposes it, someone will naturally stand up to defend it.
"Ms. Hinata has been studying hard for the position of patriarch since she was a child. Neji may be stronger than Ms. Hinata in terms of strength, but what can he do in handling family affairs?"
In the Hyuga branch house where those few people stood up to be the first birds, the ninja with the Jōnin level at the head took a calm look at the rebuttals, "Neji's biggest act is to give us Hyuga a face."
"Leaving aside the fact that the first generation of Guanjue graduated early, after all, there are many genius-level ninjas in the village who can do it, but it is not possible for any genius to understand the secret art that can only be learned by the Hyuga clan."
"Besides..."
As he spoke, he turned his attention to Hinata at the top of the stairs again, "I didn't mean to belittle or disrespect Ms. Hinata. I have always admired what she did at an immature age."
"But... as the heir of the family, she doesn't have enough strength to convince the public, which is a mistake in itself."
"Not only did I fail to graduate early, but even my grades were suppressed by the people of Uchiha."
"If it wasn't for Uchiha Sasuke who graduated early, maybe Ms. Hinata would have a hard time securing the first place in her grade. Doesn't this mean that our Hyuga is not as good as Uchiha? Even the seat is not wanted by others."
These remarks are of a very high level, which not only completes the explanation against Hinata being the patriarch, but also emphasizes that he is considering the family from another angle.
If it wasn't for Ryosuke knowing that he had premeditated and had evil intentions, he would really have believed him...
In fact, you may not necessarily believe it. Ryosuke still prefers to find out the whole story by himself than to listen to other people's one-sided words.
But even Ryosuke felt that his words were very good, and many other people in the clan began to waver.
"Moreover, Ms. Hinata has been trained as the heir to the patriarch since she was born. With so many resources, of course she can do some amazing things."
"But in fact, if Neji in our branch house was raised like this since he was a child, maybe he can do it? Even...I personally think that Neji may be more perfect than Hinata, don't you think so? Neji."
As he spoke, he cast his eyes on the Neji beside him, who was still a little confused.
As a freshly graduated Genin, Neji didn't have the opportunity to stand in the front row to watch the ceremony.
But because he did some outstanding things, the tribe didn't have any opinion about him standing in the front row.
"I...should be able to."
First, he unconsciously glanced at Ryosuke on the high platform, and Hyuga Neji nodded, "But if I spend all my time learning how to deal with affairs, my combat power as a ninja may be reduced..."
His tone was a little hesitant, giving people a feeling of hesitation.
And it was this feeling that made that Jōnin more determined, "What Hinata can learn, you must do, Neji."
"You are a genius from our branch house, and you will never lose to anyone. Even if you have both, I believe you can do it."
While talking, he turned his eyes to the high platform again, Hyuga Hiashi and others who watched him calmly without speaking from the beginning to the end.
"Patriarch, it was Ms. Hinata who said it herself at the beginning. The position of patriarch should be occupied by those who are capable. Only in this way can we ensure the prosperity of our clan."
"If there is really someone in the branch house who can take the position of patriarch, and the head of the branch house is willing to abdicate, and the relevant clan rules have been announced in the clan, you...should have read all of those regulations, right?"
"Hyuga patriarch, since he decided to re-establish the family rules, he can't violate them from the beginning, and there will be cases of non-compliance."
In the crowd, someone stood up and spoke.
"Yes, patriarch, actually I also think that Neji is more suitable as patriarch than Ms. Hinata."
"With Neji's talent, it is indeed more suitable."
"He's the head of the clan anyway, so he can't be too weak, right? For Hinata... I think it's hard for her to even advance to Jōnin. I don't think that when the Jōnin exam comes, a bunch of us will go to study with him..."
Several people spoke one after another, and all of them were not low in the clan and had certain positions.
Some of them speak tactfully, some speak bluntly, and some speak harshly.
And with them taking the lead, many people with strange expressions inevitably appeared in the crowd.
For these people, Ryosuke sees them all.
Hyuga Hiashi stood on the high platform without speaking.
On the other side, those clan elders were a little anxious and kept yelling at them, but no one wanted to pay attention.
"Hizashi, mind your son!"
Although the elder of the Yixiong clan looked down on Hinata during the previous year's clan meeting, but at this time, he stood up to defend Hinata.
Over the past year, Hinata has followed them to learn how to deal with family affairs, which really made them see a lot of brilliant things.
"This group of idiots take the handling of family affairs too simply. Do you really think that the patriarch is the same as being a ninja, regardless of who has the hardest fist?"
"Hizashi!"
The other clan elders also frowned and looked at Hyuga Hizashi, wanting him to go down and persuade Neji to leave.
And Hyuga Hizashi didn't speak, and stood beside his big brother silently.
The people below saw that Hyuga Hizashi didn't speak to stop him, and shouted louder and more confidently.
The atmosphere was a bit noisy, and it was extremely disrespectful for this serious spiritual invitation.
But the rhythm has been driven, and everyone's eyes are on Ryosuke and the three main players, waiting for Hyuga Hiashi's reply.
As time passed by, more and more people questioned, and more and more people in the crowd were shaken, and all their performances were easily revealed.
Some people changed from the beginning, but did not stand up.
It wasn't until Hyuga Hiashi showed a look of embarrassment that he jumped out.
Some people, on the other hand, were led away by the commotion.
After all, people will always unconsciously follow the public's ideas to make decisions, which is gregarious.
But there are also some determined people among them, and they are fighting with those who want to support Hyuga Neji as the next patriarch.
All of a sudden, the crowd was divided into several factions, but most of them still looked at this scene with some confusion and bewilderment.
"Almost done."
Subtle voices sounded from the high platform, Ryosuke is not only strong in combat, but even the active ability of the brain has been improved through transformation after transformation.
In less than ten minutes, he memorized everyone's reaction and reminded Hyuga Hiashi in a low voice.
Although the voice was very small, it could be heard by several people nearby.
Hyuga Hizashi, who knew what happened a long time ago, looked calm, but the excited look of those clan elders at the side froze a bit,
"Everyone."
After Ryosuke spoke, Hyuga Hiashi stepped forward without hesitation and shouted to the crowd below.
His voice was loud and clear to the noisy crowd.
Soon, the discussion and noise stopped, and they all turned their gazes upwards with different thoughts.
"Since the clan has elected a new clan rule, of course I, as the clan leader, have read it and agreed to it."
Seeing the crowd quiet down, Hyuga Hiashi continued: "Indeed, it is clearly stated in the newly released and publicized family rules. If someone thinks that his ability is better than the heir of the contemporary patriarch, he will be recommended by a certain number of people. It's up to the challenge."
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of commotion in the crowd below.
But Hyuga Hiashi wouldn't give them a chance to discuss, and then said, "So now... your recommendation is Neji, right?"
"Yes."
Down below, many ninjas headed by that Jōnin were all beaming.
"No! Patriarch, you can't agree with the recommendation of these white-eyed wolves!"
"That's right! Miss Hinata proposed the new regulations, and you white-eyed wolves are now betraying her! What's the point!"
But in the crowd, many people became excited.
"betray?"
Jōnin, who was the leader of the instigator, turned his head, looked at the person who spoke, and said seriously, "I'm sorry, I said it just now, but I respect Ms. Hinata very much in my heart."
"But... this matter can be ignored without respect, and I also think about the interests of the family."
"Actually, from your opposition to this matter, I believe other people can also see that you all know that Ms. Hinata is far inferior to Neji. In this case, why don't you accept this matter?"
Take it easy, and consider the interests of the "family" from the very beginning.
This group of provocative people showed a completely different attitude and appearance in the dark place at that time, and they looked very dignified.
It's no wonder that he was able to hide in the Hyuga clan for so many years, while betraying the news of the clan, and at the same time climbed to a high position without anyone noticing.
Ryosuke watched this farce with a smile on his face, but he enjoyed it.
"The age difference is no more than two, and the ages of Hinata and Neji have reached the bottom line for competing for successor requirements, and the conditions are established."
"Since so many of you are willing to elect Neji as the heir to the patriarch, I admit that he has a chance to challenge Hinata's position."
Hyuga Hiashi, who had been silent during their argument, spoke again, affirming the fact, "According to the clan rules, after one month, the clan will hold individual battles, team battles, and theoretical knowledge assessments. The one who gets the higher score will be qualified as the next patriarch heir."
Then, he turned his attention to Neji below, "So Neji, are you ready for the challenge?"
The seriousness in the words made everyone present quiet down.
All eyes were on Neji in the front row of the crowd.
Those who recommended him to challenge unconsciously opened their mouths, wanting to answer for him.
But unfortunately, the script was written by Ryosuke, how to play this scene, after all, it is impossible to do what they think in their hearts.
"Sorry, I'm not ready for the challenge, I'd rather be a supporter than a challenger."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Neji shook his head calmly, "I support Hinata as the next patriarch, and I am willing to cooperate with some of her commands."
"I know very well that although Ms. Hinata's strength is not as strong as mine, I am willing to be a member of her subordinates and a sharp blade in her hands."
But when he was talking, his eyes were fixed on Ryosuke.
"..."
The audience was silent.
All the smiling challengers looked stiff.
Neji's words were like a spear, directly piercing the hearts of each of them.
"...Neji, what do you mean?"
With a stiff face, that Jōnin couldn't maintain the expression on his face, "Before...you didn't always look down on Hinata's strength? Don't you think that if you come to get those resources, you can Do it better than her?"
The expressions on their faces made Ryosuke laugh unconsciously.
The current situation is like Liangshan in the Water Margin.
A group of people held the banner of "walking for the sky", and the righteous men who claimed to be heroes gathered together emotionally and planned to rebel, so as to restore the world to a bright future.
As a result, all the people were assembled, the battle preparations were complete, and the momentum was gaining momentum, but the leader Song Jiang changed his mind. He was recruited directly backhanded, and even changed the flag to Shuntian Huguo.
"In terms of strength, I really don't think Hinata is a qualified patriarch."
Hyuga Neji did not deny the question of strength, "But I have never said that I can do better than her with those resources."
As he said that, he turned around and looked at the rest of the family, "When I mentioned the family rules just now, I asked myself, if I really stood in Hinata's point of view, would I bring up such self-destructive actions? regulations."
"But no matter how I try to deceive myself, I know very well that I can't do it, even if this matter is beneficial to the family."
"I can't harm my own interests, to help others, and may even get myself into trouble."
This... is this held up?
This kind of reversal, not to mention the group of troublemakers, even the people who eat melons and the grass on the wall are somewhat incomprehensible.
"Actually, judging from today's incident, I understand a truth."
"That is, compared to force, I think that as a patriarch, the most important thing is a heart that is willing to dedicate everything to the family."
"Even in the face of betrayal, Hinata never said a word from the beginning to the end, nor did he show any dissatisfaction."
"Although I don't know why she can be so calm, I think that maybe she knows that the new regulations have just been established. If they don't even abide by them, there will be civil strife in the family."
"In order to avoid civil strife in the family, she silently endured all this, just to maintain the stability and prosperity of the family..."
In a word, Hyuga Neji said it impassionedly, just like the lines.
The group of people who originally defended Hinata became even more excited after facing his defection.
And some people who eat melons gradually shifted their inner balance to Hinata's side, because Neji's words do have some truth and are easy to understand.
And in the crowd, the grass on the wall immediately fell to the side, and shouted Hinata's name loudly.
This kind of scene made those troublemakers blacken their faces one by one.
However, apart from the troublemakers with ugly faces, there were a few faces in the crowd who looked away from Neji in a panic and looked at the high platform.
When they met Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi two brothers on the high platform, they seemed to understand something.
It turned out that before they knew it, these hidden people had entered the game!
