"Master Hyuga."

"Master Saki."

"Captain Shanks..."

In front of Ryosuke's house, everyone introduced themselves and went into the house after some greetings.

In the reception room, everyone sat down according to their seats.

Afterwards, the butler Aliang personally brought snacks and tea and placed them on each table.

After tasting them first, the two guests praised the deliciousness of the snacks, and then Hyuga Hiashi spoke up and talked about business.

"I have heard of the Four Emperors for a long time, but unfortunately, we are separated by a world, so I have never had the opportunity to see them. Today, I am fortunate to feel the legendary domineering aura of the king. It is really a blessing for me."

Looking at Shanks, who was one seat behind Nozomi Saki, Hyuga Hiashi said expressionlessly, "Ryosuke's promise is equivalent to our Hyuga's promise. Captain Shanks will be our Hyuga's best partner."

In front of outsiders, he is always so serious.

Shanks smiled modestly, "Master Hyuga, you are too kind. Actually, I am also very interested in the profession of ninja."

Sitting next to him, Nozomi Saki, who was originally smiling, froze.

What is the identity of this Shanks? Why do they seem to know each other? But if they know each other, why doesn't Shanks know ninja?

Before, he didn't think that Hyuga would pay more attention to Shanks than to him.

After all, as a samurai, although Shanks has some unusual skills and killed a group of powerful wandering ninjas, with the strength of the Hyuga family, they should not pay so much attention to him, right?

And Nozomi Saki, and the Saki family behind him are different. They can bring greater benefits to Hyuga.

The development of the situation now makes Nozomi Saki have many more questions in his heart, and the doubts about Shanks' identity have been gradually expanded infinitely.

Captain Shanks? It seems that Hyuga Ryosuke has always called him Captain...

"No matter what Captain Shanks wants to know, we will definitely help you. If it is convenient, you just want to join us Hyuga, we welcome you."

Hyuga Hiashi spoke in a deep voice, with a generous look, without any reservations.

"You are too polite, Hyuga family master."

Shanks replied politely,

But before Hyuga Hiashi could speak again, he changed the subject, "But...Hyuga family master means that even the inheritance of the Hyuga family's secrets can be told to me?"

As he said this, he stared at Hyuga Hiashi with a smile, as if it was just a joke.

Idiot! Can you ask this kind of thing casually!

It is obviously a bit rude to ask about other people's family secrets, and Nozomi Saki next to him has already clenched her fists.

He is afraid that he will not be able to leave Konoha.

But what makes Nozomi Saki unbelievable is that Hyuga Hiashi actually nodded kindly, "Of course, if you need it."

?

Really gave it to him?

Nozomi Saki's heart was full of question marks, but now he could see that

I thought I was the main dish, but in this meeting, I was just a side dish, just a side dish!

"But there is one thing I want to ask Captain Shanks."

And at this moment, Hyuga Hiashi, who had always been very kind from beginning to end, spoke again, "Our Ryosuke has always wanted to have a fight with Captain Shanks, I wonder if it's convenient?"

It seemed like a casual question, but Shanks knew what it meant when he heard it.

Sincerity.

One message for another, one secret technique for another.

Shanks smiled bitterly and replied: "Then when it's convenient for me, I will definitely come to borrow the secret technique of the Hyuga family."

The implication is that it will not be exchanged for the time being.

In this regard, Hyuga Hiashi did not continue to ask.

Although the secrets of the Hyuga family are no longer as hidden as before, they are not so easy to let outsiders see.

Of course, if you can exchange some secrets from another world, it is absolutely possible, because it is worth it.

"But the head of the Saki family said before that he wanted to cooperate with my Hyuga. I wonder what kind of cooperation it is about?"

Because Shanks was in the house, Ryosuke never let down his vigilance, and naturally his white eyes were always open.

He could clearly see the expressions, reactions, movements and gestures of everyone in the room.

And sitting next to Shanks, Nozomi Saki, who had been making some subtle movements, was probably thinking about something in her mind, and Ryosuke could guess it to some extent.

Just as this topic ended, he spoke up.

Sitting in the main seat, Hyuga Hiashi straightened his back and also turned his eyes to Nozomi Saki, "Yes, head of the Saki family, I have been looking forward to the business you mentioned for a long time."

"..."

Seeing that the topic finally came to him, Nozomi Saki was a little unresponsive.

After a pause, he reluctantly smiled and nodded, "It's just some business cooperation, Hyuga family leader, this business can be big or small..." But as he spoke, Nozomi Saki's voice became a little softer.

"But I hope that there can be a closer cooperative relationship between our two clans. When Master Ryosuke was a guest of our clan, he once said that the decoration of our Saki family is not worse than that of the daimyo's mansion..."

After a pause, he suddenly changed the subject and looked at Hyuga Hiashi seriously, "If you can help our Saki ascend to the position of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, I am willing to share the world with Hyuga, and even... if Hyuga is willing to fight for the position of Hokage, I am willing to help with all my strength!"

This sudden remark was definitely something Ryosuke and the others did not expect.

They were also stunned for a long time, and then they looked at each other, each with a strange look.

Can the matter of stealing the country be said so casually?

"Please help our Saki family ascend to the position of daimyo."

Before Ryosuke and the others could give their answer, Nozomi Saki stood up decisively.

The white-haired old man actually bowed to Ryosuke and the other Hyuga clan. Both Hyuga Hiashi and the two younger generations, Ryosuke and Hinata, had the same attitude.

As a core noble of the Land of Fire, Nozomi Saki's knowledge and thinking were naturally not simple.

Although at first, he did not react due to limited intelligence.

But soon, when he carefully recalled the contact between Ryosuke and Shanks, as well as Hyuga Hiashi's words just now, and finally based on his understanding of this ninja world, he could not 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 has no knowledge of the common sense of the ninja world.

Even if he is a mountain man, this kind of knowledge is not so scarce.

And the Hyuga family knew this sudden samurai better than him, the first discoverer, and they also knew what kind of captain he was!

A world away, a world away!

Nozomi Saki bent over, but the words of Hyuga Hiashi just now kept appearing in her mind.

Yes, this group of ninjas must be hiding something.

Perhaps it is similar to the things like the surface world and the inner world in biographical myths. Those so-called time and space ninjutsu should be developed by interweaving the shuttle between the surface and the inner world!

Although it was just a guess, due to some details revealed by Hyuga in a short period of time, he still surrendered decisively.

Shanks was confused. Although he heard clearly and understood the meaning of their words, but...

Why did they think of changing the human world while chatting?

"Master Saki, be careful with your words."

This matter came out of the blue, and it was definitely not something that could be agreed to casually, so Hyuga Hiashi replied calmly: "Let's talk about other cooperation. If it's this kind of thing, we Hyuga will pretend that we haven't heard of it and will keep it secret for you."

Although they had never met before, no matter whether the Saki family was sincere or false, they were not afraid.

The only thing that affected their decision was whether the effort was worth it compared to the gains.

So this matter still needed to be negotiated with the clan, at least the majority of the clan members in charge had to agree.

The meeting they started in the early morning discussed the plan to migrate the entire clan to the Rain Country.

"Then... let's talk about something else."

Nozomi Saki sat back in his seat with regret. He also knew that his behavior was a bit abrupt, but he didn't think he did anything wrong.

At least through the reactions given by Hyuga Hiashi and others, he could probably see that their Hyuga clan was not incapable of doing this.

What was missing now... might just be trust between each other.

"Of course there are other things. Many of our children are serving in various places in the Land of Fire, and some are even sent abroad. So I plan to cooperate with the Hyuga clan and give each of them a protector... a person to protect them."

Since the cooperation failed, Nozomi Saki could only talk about the original cooperation method.

Hyuga Hiashi nodded, "Of course, we are very skilled in this task..."

They didn't just talk about cooperation, but occasionally talked about some difficulties and solutions encountered when governing a city or a clan.

The people present had more or less experience as managers, especially Nozomi Saki, who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of civilians. The difficulty of this governance was not much simpler than fighting a war.

Even Hinata, who had the least experience among the few, encountered some problems in family logistics.

The atmosphere was not frozen, and the topic continued.

They talked until the evening, and the sky darkened unknowingly. Some of them woke up and sighed that time passed too quickly.

Especially Shanks, the conversation this afternoon gave him a lot of inspiration as a captain.

Many of his confusions about the emotions of the crew and the governance of the people on the territory suddenly became clear.

If he was not in a different world now, he would have to directly reorganize his crew, set up some rules, and then take care of the territories where he collected protection fees.

Since Shanks and Nozomi Saki plan to stay in Konoha for a while, the accommodation will naturally be arranged by Hyuga.

Dinner, of course, will be held in the main house of Hyuga.

After school, Hanabi saw that there were guests at home, but she was not shy. Instead, she was very curious about them. After all, she had never met anyone other than ninjas, nor people outside the village.

After dinner, Nozomi Saki suddenly proposed to take a walk and take a look at the first ninja village in the ninja world, and planned to take Shanks with her.

Shanks did not refuse this.

Taking advantage of the night, the two of them put their hands behind their backs and went out like two old men taking a leisurely walk.

"He should have noticed something."

At the door of the Hyuga family, Ryosuke and his family watched the backs of the two of them leaving.

Hinata suddenly said, "The head of the Saki family seems to have noticed the identity of Captain Shanks. Perhaps... he wants to use this walk to test something."

"It doesn't 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 leaked, it will not affect us Hyuga. We have made a lot of preparations and have taken a few steps ahead of many forces."

"If the trend of the battle between the different worlds really comes, we will definitely have no problem standing firm, but if we want to go further, it depends on the situation."

"Why do you talk about this all day long..."

Hinata was about to say something else, but Hanabi turned around and went back to the house angrily.

"This..."

Looking at her sister's back helplessly, Hinata had a headache, "It seems that I have spoiled her too much. Her temperament... is not very different from our family."

She was referring to the cautious and calm aspects.

In fact, when Hinata officially graduated from the Ninja School and started to handle logistics, Hanabi would take Hinata with her from time to time whenever she had time.

At first, Hanabi was quite happy to work with her,

but later, facing those boring documents, she quickly lost interest.

Compared to handling affairs and doing clerical work, Hanabi seemed to prefer participating in battles and spending time on sparring with other peers.

"Although impatient, she is not impulsive. You can't expect every manager in our clan to have the same temperament, right?"

Ryosuke looked at her with a smile, "As long as Hanabi doesn't become a squeamish and barbaric person, it's actually acceptable for her to be a little more energetic, isn't it?"

"At least... for a family to develop, in addition to civil and military aspects, it is also indispensable."

"Just like the era before the Warring States period, in addition to establishing daimyo to govern the world, each country also had a general to command military power. Hanabi's talent in fighting is better than yours. In the future, she may become the general that you, the daimyo, trust the most."

Sisters are of one mind, one civil and one military, which is a good choice.

Thinking about it, Hinata felt that it made some sense, "But even if she wants to become a combatant, she can't lack the cultural foundation."

"If the leader is a fool who can only rush forward, how can the people under him have the courage to charge forward."

"Then you can try to arrange for her to participate in the teams of the tribe's newly established corps. For example, after Iroha comes back, you can let him take Hanabi to see how collective life and the deployment of troops for war are arranged."

For this proposal, Ryosuke would certainly not refuse.

"Then I can arrange a small team for her first, similar to... the Boy Scouts."

Hinata had a lot of ideas after saying this.

Sitting on the corridor of the courtyard, the two of them were a bit like a couple discussing how to educate their children.

In terms of education, Hyuga Hiashi no longer had any say, so he turned around and went back to the house to rest early.
