Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Loyal Minister of Konohagakure.
Patriarch Hitoshi is not good with words. The so-called pre-battle mobilization ended with just a few shouts.
The clan members began to orderly receive their tasks and then left to find their teams.
On the sidelines.
In the distance, Sister-in-law Mikoto was holding Sasuke, just looking at her cheating partner from afar. After all, she was concerned about her lover's reputation and didn't get too close under the title of Uchiha Patriarch's wife.
But Pakura didn't have this concern.
"The slogan was so loud, it scared me."
She was fixing Hyuga Hitoshi's collar, with a worried and unwilling look on her pretty face.
"I am Pakura of the Scorch Release, but after being ruined by you, I became Hyuga Pakura, which makes me part of the Hyuga clan. Why can't I go?"
As the Patriarch's concubine, she was ordered to stay home and not follow.
But Patriarch Hitoshi didn't want his woman to be a caged bird. She wanted to help, and her combat power was not low. It wouldn't be a problem to go to the battlefield together.
But he also didn't want Pakura, who had finally left the battlefield, to relive that experience.
Besides, the house indeed needed a mistress to keep an eye on things. Although the two Jinchuriki were sealed and couldn't use the Two-Tails' chakra or their own, they were still elite from Kumogakure Village. Pakura had been watching them these days.
"And if I can't go, why can she?"
Seemingly getting angrier, Pakura's pretty face turned cold. She grabbed Hyuga Hitoshi's collar and pulled the much taller man to her face.
Following Pakura's finger, Hyuga Hitoshi saw the pointed-at, somewhat embarrassed Tsunade-hime in the distance. The scene looked like a mistress caught by the wife.
But Tsunade, thinking she had no affair with Hyuga Hitoshi, became more generous after being pointed at. She even puffed out her chest to show her openness.
But her action was directly seen as a provocation by Pakura. There was no way around it, just by looking at the size, they were not in the same league. It was blatant showing off!
"She is the team doctor. She insisted on coming to train her resistance to blood phobia. I couldn't do anything about it."
Hyuga Hitoshi explained helplessly.
Who knows what Tsunade is thinking? Even if she wants to go to the front line to help, she doesn't have to follow him.
But with Pakura...
Holding his wife's hand and hugging the Hokage's number one beauty, Patriarch Hitoshi looked sincere.
"Do me a favor, the family needs a mistress."
After saying that, a green light ball appeared in Hyuga Hitoshi's hand. This thing is one of the legacies from the moon, and due to limited research time, it's an initial version.
After Hyuga Hitoshi's upgrade, it can not only control others but also enhance strength after absorption until the stored power is used up.
It's a trump card he left for Pakura, and it also contains his coordinates, so he can come back quickly if there's a problem.
However, Pakura's attention was not on the cheat her man gave her, but on the words "mistress."
Is this jerk proposing?
Although they've done everything, the number one beauty still wanted to be reserved, so she snorted.
"If you insist, it's not..."
Oh, right.
She's a tsundere.
Hyuga Hitoshi suddenly realized and then shamelessly nodded.
"Please!"
Are you serious?
Pakura was stunned, then her face turned red, and she ran away after saying, "We'll talk when you come back." Mikoto, holding Sasuke, saw this and nodded to Hyuga Hitoshi before following Pakura.
"She really likes you."
Watching Pakura run away, Tsunade walked over with a complicated expression.
"I know."
Hyuga Hitoshi said slowly. She even calls him daddy.
"So you're really going to the battlefield?"
Tsunade frowned, unsure of Hyuga Hitoshi's intentions.
As the Patriarch of the Hyuga clan, he is the real head of the Hyuga main family.
This status is very useful even during wartime. If he calls, many branch members will replace him and die, so why go to the front line?
"If I don't move, people will really think the main family men are useless."
Hyuga Hitoshi didn't want to explain, so he chose to make something up.
Tsunade obviously didn't believe it and even looked ashamed.
"It's hard for you. If it weren't for my useless teacher, you wouldn't have to go this far for the village."
Hmm.
Hyuga Hitoshi frowned and slowly raised a question mark.
What do you mean by "for the village"? Isn't that the old village chief's catchphrase?
Just kidding, Hyuga Hitoshi is not doing this entirely for Konohagakure. He made this desperate plan for other reasons.
A long time ago, he figured out two future paths for the Hyuga clan and always prepared for both.
Only when one path is blocked will he choose the other.
First, if he could be a loyal servant of Konohagakure, and if this rotten village had any hope, he wouldn't mind getting back on the horse and fulfilling his old dream of becoming Hokage.
It would just be a matter of secretly gathering strength, waiting for the right time, and then overthrowing Konohagakure's leadership and setting new rules. As long as he had the power, it wouldn't be hard.
But the question is, why should he take over a broken village and spend his energy rebuilding the number one ninja village? The Hyuga clan doesn't owe Konohagakure anything.
He's not Senju Hashirama. Senju Hashirama had that sense of duty, but he doesn't.
So he needs to see if this village is worth it. With that in mind, he hasn't been slacking off. He's planning to go to the battlefield, and saying it's for Konohagakure isn't wrong. After all, with enough battle achievements, it would be easier to take over.
Second, if he loses patience with this village and finds it not worth the effort to rebuild, he would choose a way to live more comfortably, leaving as a war hero. As long as he has a good reason, his clan wouldn't be labeled as traitors.
The rear base is already under control, so whether it's the first or second path, it's a guarantee and not a waste of effort.
But if he takes this path, he would have to kill as many as possible on the battlefield, especially those from Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village, to weaken them so they can't recover quickly, just like Konohagakure.
This way, when the Hyuga clan returns to the ninja world after fully understanding the moon's legacy and upgrading, they would face three fewer ninja villages as enemies!
Hyuga Hitoshi knows the allure of the Byakugan in the ninja world. Ao from Kirigakure Village got one and bragged about it everywhere, even afraid to leave the village for fear of it being taken.
When the entire Hyuga clan returns to the ninja world, they might be enemies with everyone, even more attractive than the Uzumaki clan was.
The Uzumaki clan's entire Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, so there were many forces against them. The Hyuga clan must prepare for the worst.
Fortunately, by then, Hyuga Hitoshi would be very strong.
But Patriarch Hitoshi is always very careful in his actions.
Now that there's a chance to eliminate future enemies, why wouldn't he take it?
So, in Hyuga Hitoshi's view, going to war for Konohagakure is just a side task. He could even choose to leave now and watch from above as Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village defeat Konohagakure and become stronger.
But that doesn't fit Hyuga Hitoshi's plan or his way of thinking.
He knows this, but Tsunade doesn't.
From others' perspectives, it seems like the Hyuga clan is fighting on the front lines for Konohagakure with all their might.
Alright, by then, the Hyuga clan's name as Konohagakure's loyal servants will be known throughout the ninja world.
"It really is for the village."
Hitoshi looked at Tsunade with a complicated expression, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
She looked quite insulted, and her aggressive gaze made Tsunade feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not that little girl from Sunagakure Village! Besides, you're doing this for Konohagakure, not for me. At most, I'll thank you on behalf of my grandfather, but don't even think about it."
Tsunade took two steps back cautiously, covering her butt as she spoke.
It's hard to imagine what rumors she heard when she returned to the village to make her act like this.
So, what kind of image do I have in other people's eyes?
Ignoring Tsunade.
He looked at the elite team ready to go.
Hitoshi put away his smile, took a big step forward, stood at the front, and pointed into the distance, leading the way!
