Chapter 129 The Tiger Is Out of the Cage (Subscription Request)

Only a few people spoke in the silent meeting hall.

Since handing the scene over to Hinata, Hyuga Hiashi has been sitting quietly with his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to what will happen next, or has already guessed what will happen.

Hinata, on the other hand, seems to be maintaining her appearance well.

But Ryosuke sat behind her and saw her restless little feet shaking slightly under her body, knowing that she was obviously very embarrassed when facing the questions of these elders.

"More than half of the tribe members agree with the new system I proposed."

Hinata did not directly answer the elders' questions. She planned to start with the number of people who supported her in the tribe.

But obviously, the elders present were not so easy to fool.

"They? They may not understand the meaning of the new system you proposed. They may only understand that they can break free from the constraints of the clan rules, so they will fully support you."

The elder of the clan, Yixiong, shook his head, "Hinata, I understand that you want to do something for the family and contribute your own strength, but you are still young and don't understand the ins and outs of it."

"Just like the questions we just raised, they are actually targeting the loopholes in the new system you proposed."

"Since you can't answer us, you should think about how to solve these problems and then make it clear."

When they are old, they don't need to go out to perform tasks. They stay in the clan every day to help manage major and minor affairs.

These things can be thought of by Hinata and Hinata, and they can also think of them.

But... thinking and doing are two different things. Such a major event that changes the family's ancient and modern system cannot tolerate any mistakes.

If something really happens, it will not only be Hinata, but the elders of the clan will also become sinners for all ages. They are unwilling to bear these in their own era. They don't want to work hard for most of their lives and not leave a good name.

They are not afraid of death.

They still want fame.

"Does he know about this matter...?"

But before Hinata could give a new explanation, in front of the three people from the main family, a very hoarse voice came from the elders at the front of the branch family team.

This voice was like a completely dry old well, and finally there was a trace of moist soil.

At first, Hinata did not realize who the oldest person in Hyuga was referring to.

But then, when she met his turbid eyes, she suddenly understood what he meant.

Although she was a little unwilling in her heart, Hinata nodded and answered the old man's question, "Yes, he also agreed."

The person the elder was referring to was undoubtedly Ryosuke.

Although Ryosuke exposed a lot of his strength in front of some of the tribe members, they all helped him keep this matter secret, and not many people in the tribe knew his strength.

For example, besides Hyuga Hizashi, only Hyuga Hoshisai, Hyuga Souji and Hyuga Iroha, three people who had performed missions with Ryosuke, knew his strength.

Others, including some elders, were not clear.

Of course, the Great Elder was not included in these elders. Hinata still remembered that her father and Ryosuke had said in the past that the first person who knew Ryosuke's strength was only the Great Elder besides her father.

It seems that this Great Elder will stand on her side under the influence of Ryosuke.

Sure enough, after pondering for a long time, the old man nodded like an old computer, as Hinata thought, "Then this matter... I have no objection."

"...Great Elder?!"

Hearing his answer, the other elders looked at him in confusion.

The impact of this system is definitely not just a matter of the main and branch families.

It is difficult to estimate some things that may happen in the future. For example, without the constraints of various rules, the clan members will no longer be calm and low-key. They may act as high-profile as those Uchiha.

These are all possible.

And by then...

"Hinata is a group."

Turning his cloudy eyes to the others around him, the oldest man looked at the old faces in front of him.

Finally, he sighed, "There are some things that we old guys who have lived for most of our lives know that we shouldn't keep."

"Even if Hiashi had mentioned it before, I still insisted on not moving because the time has not come yet. Although our family foundation is sufficient, we lack a...real leader."

"But now...the opportunity has come."

"Leader?"

Not shying away from Hinata's presence, the hot-tempered elder Ichio spoke directly, pointing at Hinata and asking, "Great Elder, are you taking this little guy too seriously?"

Next to him, Hinata Na was also puzzled, "Although little Hinata has made some progress, her combat talent can't keep up after all. If she wasn't lucky enough to be born in the main family, she wouldn't have had a chance at all..."

In this way, several elders of the clan discussed Hinata, the future head of the family, without paying attention to the fact that she was not far away and heard everything.

The entire meeting hall was silent except for their voices.

The upper ninja elites below sat quietly, not daring to disturb them.

Hinata suppressed her emotions and watched coldly.

She is no longer the punching bag she used to be. She is also a person with temper.

They belittled her in front of so many people. Even if they made some sense, it was really hard to accept.

But she was angry, but she couldn't vent it. After all, these were her elders.

As for Hyuga Hiashi and Ryosuke, they always sat behind her and listened silently.

If she wants to be a qualified head of the family, she must learn to face these things alone.

And even if they really stand up to speak for Hinata, it may not be useful. Instead, it will reduce her impression points in front of these elders.

This is the fact. With the age and qualifications of these people, they are really people who have one foot in the coffin.

They have devoted most of their lives to Hyuga. Even if Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the family, did something wrong, they dared to criticize him in person, without considering the rules of the main and branch families, let alone Hinata.

"Enough."

In the end, it was the great elder who stopped their recklessness.

Another plain, even slightly weak words, directly stopped the fierce discussion of several elders, "I have no opinion on this matter, as for whether you are willing to support it, I will not interfere."

Whether it is the tone or the expression, it is extremely calm.

After he said this, although the other elders had unwillingness in their eyes, they did not say a word.

Watching them calmly, the great elder waited for a long time, and after confirming that they had no objection, he turned his attention back to Hinata.

His cheeks were wrinkled like the bark of an old tree, and he smiled: "Little Hinata, we old guys have no objection to what you just said."

"Thank you for the support of the elders, so...what do the other seniors think?"

Hinata smiled politely, nodded to him, and then looked at the others below.

Just now, the senior ninjas who had already thought about it during the elders' argument almost chose to support Hinata without hesitation.

Although they are not like those tribesmen outside who have no management in the tribe and only know about the birds in the cage.

They also have their own considerations for many things.

But since the elders are willing to support Hinata, there is no need for them to object. After all, they are also a little concerned about the sword hanging over their heads, even their juniors.

Scanning the people present, Hinata confirmed again.

This time, there was no other objection in the meeting hall.

Turning around, Hinata looked at Hyuga Hiashi who was resting with his eyes closed, "Father, this proposal... has been passed."

There was some heaviness in her words. Thinking back to the worries and sorrows she had felt over this matter during this period of time, her heart was extremely complicated.

But in addition to these, she also felt a little proud. After all... this was the first thing she, Hyuga Hinata, had done for the family.

And it was only at this time that Hyuga Hiashi opened his eyes.

He looked at Hinata with praise and pride in his eyes.

Nodding, Hyuga Hiashi also moved forward and sat with Hinata, looking at the clansmen below, "In this case... then I officially announce that we have to make some changes to the family's long-standing operating model centered on the system proposed by Hinata."

"This process... cannot be fast. Once the clan members have any ideas that are not conducive to the development of the family during the implementation process, they must be corrected and improved immediately."

"This matter is of great significance to my Hyuga. I hope... everyone present can do their best to complete it."

"Yes!"

Compared to major events such as family reform, the next things to be discussed in the meeting hall are more subtle and ordinary.

However, there is still one thing that deserves Ryosuke's attention.

That is about the development of Hyuga in the Land of Fire.

At the beginning, with the invasion of Hyuga by the envoys of the Hidden Cloud Village as the fuse, Ryosuke and others made a series of arrangements to send Hyuga Souji, a senior ninja, to the daimyo's mansion as a guardian ninja.

And now, with the support of Hyuga, he has been thriving in Kyoto City.

In addition, the great contribution made by Hyuga to the alliance of Wave Country made many officials and nobles of Fire Country feel good about them.

For these noble officials, those who can let them enjoy peace and happiness are their good partners.

So at present, many people of Hyuga clan have begun to become guests of these officials and nobles, enjoying the same treatment while serving as guards.

For these wealthy high-ranking officials of Fire Country, it is not difficult to support a few people to ensure their own safety.

As for the Hyuga side, they unanimously agreed to disperse the clan members and integrate them into the regime of the Land of Fire after discussion.

Judging from the Uchiha clan genocide incident, it is not a good strategy for Konoha to gather together in a group in the current situation.

It would be much safer to disperse various forces.

During the entire meeting, Ryosuke silently acted as a background board, without speaking or opening his mouth.

He had already read the documents submitted to Hyuga Hiashi by others in advance.

He knew exactly what everyone would say.

Ryosuke's own opinions had also been conveyed to Hyuga Hiashi, so there was nothing to say.

After negotiating some directions of the family in the next year, this important family meeting about the past and the future ended here.

"Huh..."

Hinata followed Ryosuke and left first.

The moment she stepped out of the meeting hall, her tense nerves relaxed.

The whole person fell backwards like a puddle of mud.

Ryosuke smiled helplessly and caught her from behind, "Pay attention to your image, there are still many people watching."

That said, but in fact, the meeting hall is a relatively important place in the clan, and the flow of people passing by is extremely sparse.

Although the festival ceremony is very lively, the lively group did not come here.

"I don't care, I'm so tired."

Like a koala, Hinata hung on Ryosuke's body, "I was so panicked just now. So many people supported me, but they were still stubborn and refused to listen."

Her tone was a little aggrieved, but soon, she denied herself, "But what they said... is still quite reasonable."

Just now in the hall, Hinata racked her brains to think about how to refute their loopholes.

But unfortunately, no matter how she thought, she couldn't think of a good solution.

It seems... the loopholes they raised are like things that are bound to happen and unavoidable.

"It's just some arguments on paper."

Ryosuke looked at her with a very gentle look, "I can come up with hundreds of hypothetical loopholes for your new system, but I can't guarantee how many of them will actually happen."

After a pause, he added, facing Hinata's face as she was about to speak, "There is no way to absolutely avoid it."

As he spoke, he carried her horizontally.

It would definitely not work to continue standing here.

"Is that so..."

Hinata, who was about to ask if there was any way, pouted and stopped talking after being blocked in advance.

She leaned on Ryosuke's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

While feeling the breeze blowing over him as he ran home, she slowly closed her eyes.

Ryosuke's movements when running were very light, swaying, which made her feel like she was back in her childhood, sleeping in a crib.

Hinata was very sleepy, she was really tired now.

The nerves that had been tense for the past few months relaxed at the moment when the proposal was passed just now.

Then, she felt endless fatigue, which was even more tiring than practicing the soft fist method for a whole day.

In a trance, her consciousness began to blur and she fell into a deep sleep...

The Hyuga clan's festival lasted for three days as in previous years.

The caged bird imprinting ceremony that was supposed to be held after the clan meeting was cancelled every year, and even... several changes to the family rules were announced.

When this news was passed on and sent to the ears of every Hyuga clan member, almost every branch family member was extremely excited.

They took to the streets, cheering in a trance, with incredible news in their hearts.

The rules and protection that were in their blood at that moment had been so long that many of them had forgotten the idea of ​​resistance, and many people even thought it was natural.

But now, the stone that had oppressed their ancestors for thousands of years has finally been moved.

"Ms. Hinata!"

"Ms. Hinata!!"

Clenching their fists and raising them high, many clan members who knew the reason shouted Hyuga Hinata's name with a hoarse voice, praising her name with tears of joy.

Although Hinata only proposed this new system for the future of the family and humanitarian considerations, for the branch family that had been oppressed for too long, this was like a sharp arrow that pierced their hearts and ignited their flames.

The festival ceremony seemed to be continued, and the enthusiasm in the clan was more lively than the previous few days.

It was like a tiger that had been imprisoned for many years was released from the cage.

"How do you feel?"

Standing on the roof of the Hyuga clan elders' pavilion, the elder asked the two younger generations beside him in a hoarse voice.

Hinata, who had been looking forward to the implementation of the system since the meeting ended three days ago, looked at the Hyuga in front of her in a daze, who seemed to be alive.

Her eyes were full of light.

"Very happy."

She whispered softly.

At this time, Hinata truly felt the so-called sense of honor and responsibility for the family.

"Besides being happy?"

But this answer was obviously not what the elder wanted.

He looked at Ryosuke on the other side and asked, "What about you, little Ryosuke, how do you think this matter will unfold?"

With a smile on his face, Ryosuke looked down at the tiger that was roaring and barking wantonly, "It's very dangerous. Some of the restless guys may also jump out."
