Chapter 240: The Main Family and the Branch Family

Naruto is different from other Ashura reincarnations, Black Zetsu thought.

In his impression, Ashura reincarnations have lived in groups since childhood and believe in the power of groups and companions, but Naruto is as lonely as Indra reincarnation.

Could it be that Naruto is actually the reincarnation of Indra? But this cheerfulness does belong to Ashura.

At this time, Black Zetsu suddenly looked at the position of the white-eyed girl, and after seeing the pair of pure and flawless white eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

Naruto's side.

After saving the white-eyed girl who was besieged by the naughty kids, Naruto was about to leave, but he ran into the girl's watery eyes head-on.

Faced with the pitiful and helpless look, Naruto had to stop and stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, what's your name and where do you live?"

"Hinata, Hyuga Hinata..." The little girl named Hinata said timidly, "Thank you for helping me just now. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do."

After hearing this, Naruto scratched his head, and then said embarrassedly, "It's nothing, I was just bluffing, I don't actually know their parents."

"So that's the case." Hinata poked her finger and whispered, "Well, I have another favor that I need your help with. I seem to be lost. Can you take me home?"

"Lost?" Naruto showed a puzzled look, and then nodded, "I've seen the Hyuga clan's house number before, and it's not difficult to take you back."

Hinata said a little stiffly, "Then I'll leave it to Naruto-kun..."

In a few words, Naruto took Hinata's hand and walked towards the direction of the Hyuga clan.

Not long after, the two arrived at the outskirts of the Hyuga clan. After meeting several Hyuga ninjas wearing forehead protectors, Naruto handed Hinata to the Hyuga ninjas and left without looking back.

After leaving the Hyuga clan, Black Zetsu suddenly remembered what was wrong.

Compared with other Hyuga ninjas, Hinata's eyes were a little too pure, even close to normal Otsutsuki.

If he didn't know that his mother was still sealed in the moon, he would have doubted whether his mother had been reincarnated.

After all, he hadn't seen such a pure Byakugan for many years.

After retracting his gradually scattered thoughts, Black Zetsu put his attention back on Naruto and joked: "You just did another good thing, how do you feel now?"

Naruto put his hand on the back of his head, remembered the previous conversation with Hinata, and said with a smile:

"I feel pretty good. I didn't expect that there are people in the village who admire me. Although Hinata is just a child, I believe that one day, the rest of the people will accept me."

"I still don't believe this, but I support your decision."

Black Zetsu didn't say anything to discourage Naruto, and still encouraged him verbally.

The more serious Naruto's fantasy about Konoha and Konoha villagers, the greater the stimulation he will receive when his fantasy is shattered, and then he will become his new subordinate without hesitation.

For now, he only needs to continue to support Naruto.

After hearing what Black Zetsu said, Naruto nodded gently, and then walked towards home. He had experienced too many things today, and it was time to go back and have a good rest.

If he doesn't sleep well, he won't be able to attend the opening ceremony in a few days.

In his plan, the first step is to change the villagers' view of him by doing good deeds, and the second step is to enter the ninja school to learn how to become a ninja, and finally become a jonin or even a Hokage.

He actually doesn't understand what Hokage means.

But he knows that the most beloved ninja in the village is Grandpa Hokage, so he also wants to become a Hokage.

...

After escorting Hinata to the main family compound, the two branch family ninjas immediately knelt in the hall and said to Hyuga Hiashi:

"Hiashi, Miss Hinata is back."

After hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi's face eased a lot, looked at his trembling daughter, and sighed softly in his heart.

Today was originally the day for the Hyuga clan to worship their ancestors. In addition to worshiping their ancestors, the clan was also holding a caged bird ceremony.

The caged bird ceremony is a unique ceremony of the Hyuga clan.

In order to avoid the loss of the Hyuga clan's white eyes, after the heir of the main family began to practice, the other children of the same age in the branch family must be engraved with the mark of the caged bird.

At today's caged bird ceremony, Hinata, the heir of the main family, suddenly disappeared.

Hinata's disappearance immediately alerted the entire Hyuga clan. The heir of the main family is different from the branch family. Without the protection of the caged bird, the Byakugan of the main family can be taken away or even transplanted.

Once other ninja villages get the Byakugan, it is possible to develop secret techniques against the Byakugan.

The strategic position of the Byakugan in war is also quite obvious. The 360-degree field of vision plus the perception range of several kilometers is enough to provide the coordinates of a small-scale war.

Similar abilities are not uncommon in major ninja villages, but they are all secret techniques mastered by very few senior ninjas, and they all have extremely harsh conditions for use.

Therefore, after learning that Hinata was missing, Hiashi and the elders of the main family immediately reprimanded all the branch family ninjas present.

They even began to suspect whether a branch family had attacked the heir of the main family.

After all, when the heir of the main family disappears, a new heir of the main family must be elected, so that the branch family has some opportunities to seize power.

Fortunately, Hinata returned safely in the end.

After a moment of silence, Hyuga Hiashi asked his daughter what happened today. When he learned that Hinata just ran out because she was bored, he scolded her with a stern face.

When he heard that Hinata was bullied by several children, Hyuga Hiashi frowned.

Although Hinata has not yet gone to the ninja school, he has already taught her chakra refining techniques and some soft fists. Although she may not be able to beat an adult, she is more than enough to deal with her peers.

In addition to those children, Hinata was bullied more because of her own reasons.

Hinata's character is too soft, and she doesn't even have the courage to fight against bullies. This kind of character is naturally no problem for ordinary girls.

But as a future ninja, the future head of the Hyuga clan, he cannot sit firmly without a strong character.

Finally, when he heard Hinata mention a yellow-haired boy, Hyuga Hiashi fell into deep thought.

He was familiar with the rumors about the demon fox in the village. He knew that the boy who was annoyed by dogs was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the village. The Uzumaki surname also indicated that Naruto was the child of the Fourth Generation and his wife.

If Hinata could get along with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, would they not have to worry about the issue of succession in the future?

After all, in addition to Hinata, his eldest daughter, his wife was pregnant again recently.
