Chapter 137 - Hyūga Hiashi's Unbearableness

Swish...

The Senju Nawaki descended from the sky and landed on the open ground where the main and branch families of the Hyūga clan fought.

"You guys are too long-winded!" Senju Nawaki shook his head, his face filled with murderous intent.

A commotion broke out among the Hyūga clan members on the field.

A new enemy has emerged, and they have become involved in their battle.

Hyūga Hiashi was overjoyed. With an enemy, he would have the moral high ground and be able to regain control of the Hyūga clan.

This is a long-standing belief in the ninja world: when members of the same clan encounter an enemy, they must put aside all differences to deal with that enemy.

Before the era of ninja villages, clans were the support of every ninja, and every ninja would do everything in their power to protect their clan.

The establishment of the Ninja Village was both a step forward and a step backward.

There are varying degrees of closeness and distance between people, families, and countries.

Absolute fairness is impossible.

This has been the prevailing view for a long time.

But when Hiashi saw the newcomer's eyes, he frowned and pondered, feeling disappointed.

Who is this? How can they have white eyes?

Even with the Byakugan, the situation remains internal strife within the Hyūga clan and cannot play a decisive role in the existing power structure.

Let's see what the Hyūga clan members are planning to do.

Those who split up the Ōtsutsuki family had the same question.

Especially Hyūga Rin, whose bloodline purity and Byakugan level were already at the pinnacle of the Hyūga clan, yet he still felt a sense of oppression from the person before him.

This shows that the level of disdain shown by the person in front of him is far higher than that of him.

"Let's focus on killing the enemy in front of us first. We can discuss everything else later," Hyūga Hiashi tried to persuade him.

"He may not necessarily be an enemy! I am the current head of the Hyūga clan. Are you a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon? I am requesting your help in the name of the clan head."

"If you help me quell the rebellion this time, I'll accept your deal." Hyūga Hiashi looked conflicted, as if recalling something.

He regarded Senju Nawaki as the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon.

Senju Nawaki shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to Hyūga Hiashi.

This idiot actually thought he was a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon.

However, some of the characteristics he exhibits do resemble those of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon.

"Young man, why are you here?" Jirō asked cautiously.

He didn't sense any hostility from Senju Nawaki; instead, he felt a sense of familiarity.

"One awakens to attraction and repulsion, the other to gravity. Yet they fight over a mediocre person?"

Why is that? It's such a waste of your talents.

Senju Nawaki shook his head and sighed, his gaze sweeping over the three faces.

Hyūga Jirō and Hyūga Hizashi exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with shock.

Their Byakugan evolved into the Tenseigan, and the abilities they possessed were known only to themselves, not even to their opponents, who could only make a rough guess during battle.

But now, the person in front of me has said it all.

It is important to understand that intelligence is especially crucial in battles within the ninja world.

It is one of the important skill ratings for ninjas.

"What?

No wonder they are so powerful; they have awakened such a powerful force.

Gravity and repulsion, is this power truly something that humans can control?

Wait, is he talking about me, the mediocre person?

Hyūga Hiashi hid behind Hizashi Hyūga, his expression constantly changing.

From initial probing and horror to final gloom.

It turns out he was the real clown. As the head of the Hyūga clan, this person in front of him didn't take him seriously and treated him as a dispensable character.

His face looked as if it were dripping ink.

"Your Excellency, as a decision-maker for a family, the patriarch does not need to possess great power. He only needs cohesion and symbolic power to make a family prosper."

My brother did a decent job; at least he was a competent clan leader.

Hyūga Hizashi spoke with utmost seriousness, as if Hyūga Hiashi were a qualified clan leader.

His voice, however, drew laughter from Hyūga Jirō.

"Qualified! How could Hiashi Hyūga be worthy of that word!"

"A fool with no leadership skills who only knows how to sacrifice the interests of the family and the interests of the branch family."

"..."

"If the clan leader were not Hiashi Hyūga, but someone of mediocre talent, I could accept it."

Unfortunately, he was an ambitious but incompetent fool who always wanted to sacrifice the lives of the branch families to elevate the status of the religion, which would only lead to the continued decline of the Hyūga clan.

The real beneficiaries are Konohagakure, the enormous entity that controls Hyūga and Hiashi behind the scenes.

Hyūga Jirō's eyes dimmed, and after careful consideration, he finally spoke.

Laughter erupted on the field, as people vented their dissatisfaction with Hiashi Hyūga.

His past actions have earned him no respect or affection from his clan.

Hyūga Hizashi also fell silent. The demands of the branch family members aligned with his own thoughts, but he could not express them.

At this point, he could only go all out and protect his brother.

His upbringing taught him that only the clan head, only the main family, could lead the Hyūga clan to continue its prosperity.

"You worthless bastards, you have forgotten the glory of the Hyūga clan. Everything you have is a gift from the Hyūga clan, and you have no gratitude whatsoever."

Hyūga Hiashi's face was ashen as he forced a reprimand.

I never imagined that my image would be so terrible in the eyes of these people.

These rebels had no idea what he had sacrificed for the Hyūga clan.

He lived a life of utter frustration in front of the high-ranking officials of Konohagakure.

He compromised for the sake of the Hyūga clan's interests, but in the eyes of these people, this was seen as betraying the Hyūga clan's interests in order to seek a promotion for himself.

The situation became tense for a moment.

Because of a single sentence from Senju Nawaki, he was once again made an outsider.

Internal conflicts within the Hyūga clan have erupted once again.

The biggest disagreement actually came down to the evaluation of Hiashi Hyūga.

"You have an unpleasant odor."

Senju Nawaki frowned and looked at Hyūga Hiashi.

A kind of destiny power was gathering within him, similar to the power that Mr. Toad had exerted on him.

This power can, to a certain extent, correct anything that doesn't conform to the user's intended path.

He couldn't understand why Hiashi Hyūga, a controversial figure, was still able to survive into the future.

Senju Nawaki sensed a familiar aura emanating from him.
