As the two spoke, Hyuga Aya fell silent.
Uchiha Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had paid attention to Hyuga Aya before.
However.
He was in such a mess himself, how could he have the leisure to bother with these things?
Although she was very beautiful, at this moment, Uchiha Jin had no mind to think about matters of men and women.
But since Shisui and Kazama had both spoken, and considering that this girl was indeed not bad.
Thinking of this, he also spoke with a smile.
"Aya, tell us."
"It's fate that we all met; if we can help, everyone will do their best."
However.
To the three's words, Hyuga Aya could only offer a bitter smile.
Hence, silence.
After a long while.
She finally sighed helplessly, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"Since everyone is interested, I'll tell you; just consider it as a distraction."
"Everyone should know that I come from the Hyuga Branch Family."
"Last year, a good-for-nothing from the Hyuga Main Family ordered my parents to be executed directly because they accidentally bumped into him."
"That, too, is fine."
"The fate of the Hyuga Branch Family, we in the Branch Family, have actually accepted it."
"But this year, that Main Family member took a liking to me again; he wants me to return and be his concubine after this war ends."
"Isn't it laughable?"
"Last year, he just killed my parents, and now he wants me to marry him."
"It's truly, tragic!"
"If it were just me, at worst, I would choose suicide."
"But, I have a younger sister!"
"To prevent that beast from harming my sister, I can only accept this matter."
Hiss!
As Hyuga Aya spoke, the three present all gasped.
Even Uchiha Jin, who had read the original story, hadn't expected the Hyuga Main Family to be so tyrannical.
This, this was humiliation!
Shisui was the first to lose his temper; he immediately cursed loudly.
"How can a dignified Hyuga Clan be so shameless?"
"Simply, a bunch of bastards!"
"Kazama, do you have a solution?"
"Your Nara Clan has the highest intelligence; you must be able to think of a way, right?"
"We must help Aya; she is our teammate!"
Chapter 46: Shisui's Request, Uchiha Jin Speaks
Shisui was extremely agitated.
His kind nature could not accept such darkness.
However.
Although his face was full of anger and his eyes were brimming with killing intent, he wasn't overly impulsive.
Because this was a Hyuga family matter, and he was just an Uchiha.
Konoha's rules.
The Hokage only manages the village and registered ninjas.
Only during wartime does he have the authority to mobilize and command clan ninjas.
Each Ninja Clan's internal affairs are self-governed!
Although that Hyuga Main Family member was detestable, he was not a registered Konoha ninja.
Even during wartime, the Hyuga Main Family did not participate in battles.
No matter how angry Shisui was, he couldn't interfere with the Hyuga family's affairs.
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to declaring war!
Under these circumstances, he could only seek help from Nara Kazama.
As he said before, the Nara Clan had the best brains, and perhaps they could come up with a good solution.
However, regarding this.
Nara Kazama looked helpless, shrugging his shoulders before speaking.
"Captain, you think too highly of me." Nara Kazama said helplessly: "This is a Hyuga family matter; we can't interfere."
"And because of the Caged Bird, Aya is essentially unable to refuse."
"The only thing I can think of is to find a long-term garrison mission outside the Land of Fire before the war ends."
"And this mission must be one that only we can handle."
"Only in such a situation would the Hyuga Clan be forced to bow to the Hokage."
"It's very difficult to accomplish this."
"And even if we really could do it, it would actually only be a temporary delay."
"Missions always end eventually; that's something no one can change."
"This problem is unsolvable!"
Everyone fell silent.
Even though Nara Kazama hadn't thought of a solution, no one blamed him.
After all, everyone actually understood the complexity of this matter.
Hyuga Aya smiled.
"There's no need for everyone to be like this; this is the fate of the Hyuga Branch Family."
"I accepted this a long time ago; I'm happy to have met everyone."
"This, is enough."
Her face was full of gentleness, and although her lips were bitter, she still tried to comfort everyone.
Clearly.
Just as she said, she had long accepted her own destiny.
Uchiha Jin remained silent.
His eyes flickered, but he did not speak.
This matter was very complicated.
The crucial point was that even if it succeeded, it wouldn't benefit him much.
And to be frank, Hyuga Aya's fate might be miserable, but at least she could keep her life.
But, what about him?
The dark cloud of the Uchiha clan's extermination still hovered over him.
In fact, let alone himself.
Even Shisui, Kazama... everyone was pretty much in the same boat, all in similar predicaments.
And, just at this moment.
Shisui suddenly looked at Uchiha Jin and spoke in a very serious tone.
"Jin, I want to help Aya."
