Chapter 277 Clan Meeting (Subscription Request)
Although in the real world, the time from the beginning to the end of the war, and then to Ryosuke's return to the moon, was only one year.
But in fact, in Ryosuke's prediction, a long time had passed.
And every time he predicted, regardless of age, his future self and the people around him seemed to have lost the memory of his transformation every three years, causing the real self to forget the existence of the progress bar.
But...
Why is this?
Hinata, who was still angrily questioning Ryosuke, also found that his face was not right, and restrained her expression, "What's wrong?"
She asked with some concern.
Since she succeeded as the head of the family, Hinata's firm heart has become even tougher, and she has hardly been soft in front of anyone, even in front of her father and Hanabi, she has never shown weakness.
Without Ryosuke, she has to protect this family.
That's why I was so tough and angry just now, but...
"In fact, I don't seem to have changed this time."
Ryosuke wanted to raise his palm in a trance,
After a few seconds of delay, his palm finally raised.
Strength, speed, physique... It seems that there is no change.
On the moon, the inhuman pain that he usually endured during the transformation did not appear. The beginning and end of this transformation passed without his awareness.
Was it because his accumulation in the past three years was too weak that nothing happened during the transformation?
Ryosuke was very confused, but soon realized something.
It can't be said that there was no improvement, but before he had time to feel too much, his various abilities were limited because of foresight.
Maybe... I have improved and transformed.
But this time, because his body did not improve in these three years, there was no big change. Instead, his soul was improved because of the tempering, so that it did not match the body.
The compatibility between her body and soul decreased, perhaps not only because her consciousness was too immersed in it, so that there was a gap.
The soul level is higher than the body level, or maybe it is possible.
"I'm sorry, I didn't ask the situation clearly first."
Noticing the abnormality of Ryosuke, Hinata blamed herself, stood up worriedly, and held his palm, "Where have you been during this time?"
After a pause, she spoke again, "How can I help you, how can the family help you."
She noticed Ryosuke's abnormality and slightly slow movements very carefully, and instantly realized that maybe there was something wrong with his body, so he couldn't get back in time.
In this way, the scolding she just gave him seemed a bit willful.
Then, she felt that Ryosuke, who had always been very mysterious, might have some unspeakable secrets, so she didn't intend to break the casserole to ask the bottom, but directly asked how to lead the family to assist him.
"It's okay. It's my fault that I didn't come back during this period."
Hinata's thoughtfulness made Ryosuke's heavy heart calm down a little. He reached out and held her in his arms. "It's my fault for not coming back to report safety first. I didn't consider this."
"I also blame myself for not being able to come back as promised to attend your clan leader succession ceremony."
Taking a deep breath of the familiar smell, his heart, which was originally a little impatient due to the sequelae of his ability, gradually calmed down.
"Don't keep everything in your heart alone, take it on yourself."
Putting her face on his chest, Hinata's voice was very soft, like a soothing song that made people feel peaceful.
"You can tell me the problem. My father, Hanabi, and even the family will all be your confidants."
"If there is really a problem, one more person can also provide one more solution."
"Although... you are always so powerful, please don't think of yourself as a protective umbrella, and think of me and the family as lambs under the umbrella."
Her voice was very weak and gentle, and it was very comfortable to Ryosuke's ears. "We Hyuga should not be weak and protected sheep. We should be bees, poisonous bees, and killer bees."
"Although we are not as powerful as you, we can still play a certain role in groups, even if we sacrifice everything."
"You are the queen bee. As long as you are still here, Hyuga will always be here."
As she said this, she stood up again.
In Ryosuke's puzzled eyes, she took his hand and came to the main seat, motioning him to look at the documents on the table.
And when he moved his eyes to the table, he immediately understood what Hinata wanted to say.
"When you were away, we Hyuga were not afraid either. We deployed and improved the ten-year plan that we had negotiated before the war."
"Although we have made some minor changes to the content, we have not lost any of the benefits, status, and reputation that we should have taken back. We have not been in a hurry because of your absence."
"We had agreed to openly declare war on the Hidden Cloud Village, and we carried it out almost according to the plan, and we didn't even need so many people."
"Led by Mr. Allen, we sent a few senior ninjas to assist, and we easily took what we deserved from the Hidden Cloud Village..."
During the time when Ryosuke was away, his deterrent power to the ninja world was of course still there.
However, deterrence is one thing, and his disappearance after the war is another.
The outstanding performance on the battlefield at the time almost made the Hinata the focus of the entire ninja world, and their every move was almost exposed to everyone's gaze.
In the case of their own life and death, the Hinata was not afraid of it at all.
They showed their skills to the ninja world with great fanfare, and directly made the Rain Country, a country that fell from a small level, become a power that rivaled the five major countries in the past.
After that, they gathered refugees, cultivated their own strength, built ninja schools, and improved the training system...
Then, after other forces in the ninja world knew their strength, the Hyuga led by Hinata gradually did not expand and become arrogant, and expanded their territory outward, but instead adhered to the scope of the Rain Country.
Except for the Hidden Cloud Village that offended the Hyuga again and again, they humbly negotiated and traded with the forces of various countries in a relatively peaceful way to solve the internal resource needs.
Hinata's words were full of trust and attention to herself, but she did not feel pressured by it.
One thing, two things, were all known to Ryosuke when he predicted the future.
It's just that when he predicted the future, he didn't hear his wife's gentle and delicate narration like he did now, but learned about the changes in the family when he was away at the subsequent family meeting.
In front of him is a brand new future, a future that is out of the dozens of routes he predicted.
It seems... I can't predict myself.
Ryosuke realized this thing at the first time.
There is no such thing as a progress bar in his future, which means that perhaps his previous guess is correct. He is a person outside the long river of fate, and every action will affect the change of the entire fate.
So... he cannot predict his own fate.
"How is it?"
Hinata, who was standing beside him and explaining the situation, seemed a little proud, and the heaviness in her heart was also relieved a lot.
When Ryosuke was away, she, as the head of the family, had to be the backbone of the family, so she had to maintain a calm attitude at all times to deal with the pressure from all aspects of the family.
But now that Ryosuke is back, he has become the backbone.
As long as the backbone is stable, Hinata is still there, and her pressure will be relieved a lot at once.
"It's a pity that I can't witness all this with my own eyes."
Ryosuke spoke regretfully, without mentioning the problem on his body.
Even if a few, dozens, or hundreds of people think about these things, there may not be a solution. They are not the parties involved, and they have not experienced the extremely mysterious long river of fate with their own eyes, so they cannot understand the power of this existence.
However, the conversation with his wife did ease his anxiety to solve the problem.
Anyway, he had more than one or two problems.
There were many mysteries about him, and any one of them could make people feel crazy, but being too eager to solve them would burden his heart.
Everyone understands some truths, but whether you can limit yourself according to the knowledge you know is another level of problem.
Fortunately, his wife is always so understanding.
As long as he stays by her side, Ryosuke can always control his emotions well.
"You can see it with your own eyes."
Hinata smiled gently at his regret, "I can be your eyes."
"You can understand the changes in the Rain Country in the past year through my memory and from my perspective."
As she said that, she came to Ryosuke again, grabbed his palm and put it on her head.
"No need."
Ryosuke shook his head and took his hand back. "Let's meet father and hold a family meeting as soon as possible. I have some information that needs to be synchronized with you."
He felt the efforts of Hinata, her father, Hanabi and the family, the kind of not wanting to hold him back, and trying their best to think and improve.
From ancient times to the present, in Ryosuke's cognition,
many families have risen because of one person, or a small number of people.
But few families can realize that they should take this opportunity to enrich themselves and keep up with the other party. Instead, most people will take it for granted to enjoy this protection.
They will be like nouveau riche who rely on others' power, thinking that they can rely on the connection of blood and get preferential treatment with one or two words of flattery, and in fact it is true.
Most people will have to help because of their feelings.
Ryosuke doesn't mind giving some preferential treatment to the Hyuga family for the sake of his family's face.
Anyway, for him now, whether it is secret techniques, ninja tools, secret treasures, bloodline limits... they are not so important anymore, and it doesn't matter who Hinata wants to give these things to.
Unknowingly, he has become the number one in the ninja world.
But... after all, there is still some reward, which makes him feel worthwhile.
Hyuga, completely self-centered, even willing to sacrifice everything for himself.
This has been felt from the attitude of the tribe members since Ryosuke showed his talent and strength a long time ago.
But what really makes him put the family in his heart is seeing their real desire to make progress.
And this kind of progress is not the kind that causes trouble for him, but is extremely rational.
Sitting on a mountain of treasures without being arrogant or impatient, almost every member of the tribe is working hard to make progress. Ryosuke feels that he may really be able to synchronize some relatively important information and hand it over directly to the family as Hinata said!
In the inner circle of the main city of the Rain Country,
Hyuga core tribe land, meeting hall
Although the Hyuga clan had always wanted to keep the ancestral home of the old Konoha site, so that when the inner city was built, the entire appearance of the clan land was almost reproduced in proportion.
But after all, the current Hyuga is no longer the original Konoha Hyuga, but the Hyuga of the Rain Country!
The horizontally arranged meeting hall is several times larger than the one Ryosuke had seen before,
and the number of clan members sitting in it to participate in the meeting has increased a lot compared to the past,
As the Hyuga clan expanded and developed, more and more people had power and were qualified to participate in the meeting.
"Ryosuke, except for the clan members with other surnames, all the capable clan members are here."
In a very low voice, Ryosuke heard the reminder from his father beside him.
Nodding silently, looking at his father's somewhat pale and old face beside him, he felt even more guilty.
Because of his absence, his father was ready to die, and he entrusted the position of clan leader to Hinata before he was too old and weak.
He was responsible for external affairs to deal with the possibility of his death in battle.
Hinata was responsible for internal affairs, and while participating in political affairs, she was also prepared to evacuate from the Rain Country.
Hinata was under a lot of pressure during this period, and her father was under even greater pressure, so much so that he looked old.
"It's good that you're back."
Hinata Hiashi seemed to sense his guilt and comforted him.
This made Ryosuke even more uncomfortable. He was clearly wrong, but he asked the other party to speak.
At the same time, he also had an idea in his mind.
The communication problem must be solved. At least... when he is not nearby, his family must be able to contact him.
With Ryosuke's current ability, he is naturally confident that he can directly move in the ninja world regardless of distance through time and space techniques.
But Hinata and the others cannot contact him.
Ryosuke had no way to integrate his will into the planet under his feet for the time being. If something really happened, unless he happened to be nearby and the noise was too loud for him to notice,
otherwise, they would not be able to contact him in time.
"Then let the meeting begin now."
At the nod of Hyuga Hiashi, Hinata, who was now the head of the family, stood up from the main seat, looked around at everyone and said calmly, "Nothing about the entire content of this internal family meeting is allowed to be revealed."
"From this moment on, Hyuga's eyes will no longer be limited to the ninja world."
"Now... let Ryosuke introduce to you the information he has obtained during his absence."
No matter where Ryosuke went, he needed an explanation for his inexplicable disappearance for so long.
In order not to damage his image in the hearts of the people in the clan, Hinata casually gave him an explanation that he had a hidden mission.
And for this, the people in the clan did not doubt it, and they all cast their awe eyes on Ryosuke and the huge eyeball floating in the air behind him, emitting a pale yellow light.
