The Hyuga clan is different from the past. They must choose a new backer in Konoha in order to continue the Hyuga clan's bloodline.

We cannot be like the Uchiha clan, who were wiped out of Konoha without any explanation.

The blood-successor limited ninja clan was wiped out overnight. He kept monitoring the Uchiha clan's ANBU twenty-four hours a day. As a result, he was slow to discover the fact that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out the next morning. What's inside?

There's no problem, Hizashi definitely doesn't believe it.

In political struggle, there is no right or wrong, only the winner is king and the loser is in the dust.

It is such a simple reality that the Uchiha clan failed in the political struggle with the high-level officials.

"It's up to you to select the members of the branch clan who are sent out to carry out this surveillance mission. But there is one more thing to remember. The three clan members sent out to carry out this mission and their families must be well 'protected' and do not let them

They had an accident. The Kingdom of Ghosts has the technology to release the "caged bird". If three members of the branch family are instigated to rebel, it will become very troublesome. Moreover, they have to be replaced by another three people every six months to continue the mission. They cannot

Let them keep in contact with the people of the Ghost Country for a long time."

Nizu glanced sharply at Hizashi, his expression majestic and cold.

Hizashi's heart tightened, and there was unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, but he still lowered his head, accepted such a cruel fact, and said, "I understand, brother."

Even after controlling the family, the Zong family still distrusts the branch family.

The fact that three people have to be replaced every six months is proof that the Zong family's trust in the branch family has dropped to a freezing point.

Even if he knew that Hizu still had a certain affection for his younger brother, he would still take the lead in ensuring the collective interests of the Hyuga clan in the face of the iron rules of the clan and branch families.

Just like he proposed to abolish the status of the eldest daughter as the heir of the clan, and instead let the more talented second daughter be the heir of the clan.

In his eyes, there may be family ties, but what is more important is the family as a whole.

Once family affection goes against the family's will, he will not hesitate to choose strong tactics, align his will with the family, and abandon all family affection.

It is precisely because of this that he has won the support of many clan elders.

They need a patriarch who has the collective interests of the family in mind.

Rizu is also the most satisfying clan leader of the Hyuga clan in their minds for decades.

He is both an elder brother and a father, but he is also the man who bears the fate of the Hyuga clan.

Hizashi sighed in his heart, feeling very complicated.

From a tribesman's perspective, he could not blame Rizu for his behavior.

However, from a family perspective, he could not agree with Rizu's approach.

However, his life and the lives of his children were all in the hands of the Zong family, so what could he do?

All resistance to family separation is meaningless.

Even if there is resentment and hostility, one must still act in accordance with the will of the Zong family and cannot violate it in the slightest.

"Then it's up to you. After selecting the personnel, let them set off as soon as possible so that Hokage-sama can rest assured."

"yes."

Nizu nodded, and then was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said: "By the way, if you arrange this task well, I will consider letting Neci learn the soft fist that only the Zong family can master. In short, that's it.

Bar."

Ignoring the stunned Hizashi, Hizashi left without looking back.

"Thank you very much, brother."

He knew very well the weight of Hizu's words and how important they were to his son Neji's future.

Although he didn't like Nizu's current cold-blooded style, Hizashi still bent down and bowed to thank his brother Nizu.

Ninja school, after school time in the afternoon.

"Sakura, do you want to play together later? We will also invite Sasuke-kun over."

A female classmate with whom I usually get along well came over to invite me.

Sakura raised her head and glanced at the other person, with a trace of hesitation on her face, but she quickly thought of something, shook her head in pain, and said, "No, I still have some books to finish."

There was a very thick and heavy book in front of her, titled "The Basic Theory of Konoha Medical Ninjutsu".

It is a must-read book for Konoha medical ninja apprentices in the early stages.

It is also a book that Sakura is studying hard now.

Because she has decided to go to the school's medical ninja training class to learn knowledge, she must speed up her studies and strive to pass the exam in one go and graduate from the ninja school as a medical ninja.

In this way, he can avoid the 'cannon fodder' status that his father, Haruno Zhao, refers to.

"Eh? Sakura, your theoretical scores are already very good, so there's no need to work so hard. Besides, this doesn't seem to be a required subject."

The female classmate glanced at the title of the book Sakura was reading and tilted her head in confusion.

"Well, because my family wants me to become a medical ninja, I need to master these basics as soon as possible in order to pass the exam."

Sakura explained briefly.

"That's such a shame."

Although I don’t understand why Sakura wants to apply for the medical ninja exam, it’s not easy for her female classmates to force her to agree.

"Could it be that you don't dare to go because you're afraid of being seen with a wide forehead, Sakura-chan with a wide forehead?"

An arrogant voice came through, and Yamanaka Ino, the former best friend and now the estranged love rival, walked over with a mocking look on his face and asked.

Her arrogant and arrogant attitude makes it impossible to associate her with her identity as the eldest lady of the mountain clan.

"Ah."

Sakura had only one word to comment on Ino's provocative behavior.

Ino's face trembled.

What does he mean?

Although there was no sarcasm on Sakura's face, Ino could clearly feel the contempt in it.

"What do you mean? Are you mocking me?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, you can go and play by yourselves. From today on, I will study hard. I won't waste time on such boring games."

Moreover, if we can really invite Sasuke, that's it.

The key point is that Sasuke has not been invited once since the first grade until now. Sakura couldn't help but feel regretful, how much time she had wasted in the past.

If he spent all the four years he wasted in the past on studying, he would definitely be able to attract Sasuke's attention with his smarter brain than the average person.

Knock down all these posing little vixens with one punch.

When she thought of this, Sakura couldn't help but shed tears of regret.

Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. Now, it's not too late to pick up the book and read it carefully.

"?"

Ino looked at Sakura in shock. At this time, shouldn't the other party be jumping up and down with anger and calling her the nickname Ino Boar?

Sakura has changed. This is the only feeling Inochi has.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can leave first. I will study by myself in the classroom for a while."

Sakura politely started to chase people away.

Ino felt her fist hit the cotton, but it had no effect at all.

Seeing Sakura's refusal, the people around them had no choice but to leave and invite the other classmates instead.

Seeing the crowd around her disperse, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. Now she could finally study quietly.

Sakura looked back at the book in front of her, "Konoha's Basic Theory of Medical Ninjutsu".

Compiled by: Tsunade/■■■■.

"Why was the second editor's name blacked out?"

Looking at the name of the second editor whose name had been blacked out, Sakura had such doubts more than once.

However, this doubt was quickly forgotten by Sakura, and she picked up the book and started reading.

"So you are here, Kakashi, I have been looking for you for so long."

The boy's childish but firm voice came from behind.

Kakashi turned slightly and looked at the boy, whose clothes were embroidered with the famous Uchiha fan symbol, which was the emblem of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke Uchiha, the last bloodline of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.

"I'm just a little late, there's no need to be so anxious, Sasuke."

"A little late? Aren't you late every day? I heard from others, the late king Kakashi. It's hard to imagine how someone like you became the ANBU minister. That's only for the elite.

It’s a position that only the elite among us can hold.”
