Chapter 154 - 156 : Proposing Marriage to Hinata ; Hello. My name is Hyūga Hinata."
28 Dec 2025
Hearing this, Arata still hesitated briefly, but finally steeled himself.
"This time, I have come to seek an alliance with you," Arata said.
"From this point on, no matter the situation, I will stand on your side. Whether it is public support or direct action, all of it can be discussed."
Hyūga Hiashi's heart nearly leapt with joy.
This was the classic case of fortune knocking on one's door.
However, he also knew very well that gaining the allegiance and support of the strongest member of the Uchiha clan was equivalent to drawing the entire Uchiha clan into his camp.
Such a gain would not come without a price.
And he had to consider carefully whether he could afford that price.
Thus, Hiashi remained calm and asked evenly, "Then what are your conditions? What do you need me to do?"
Arata looked directly at Hiashi.
"The condition is this," he said. "When the Uchiha clan undergoes its next leadership transition, I hope Lord Hiashi will represent the Hyūga clan and stand on my side."
Hearing this, Hiashi quietly exhaled in relief.
There was a condition—good.
And it wasn't a harsh one at that.
In fact, this was practically a bargain.
But Arata wasn't finished.
After a brief pause, he added a condition so bold that even Hiashi—no stranger to political maneuvering—felt it verge on outrageous.
"Additionally," Arata said, "to further deepen the bond between our two clans, I hope that we may establish a marriage alliance."
Hiashi blinked, momentarily stunned.
"A marriage alliance?" he asked. "How exactly do you mean?"
Arata answered calmly, "I wish to become engaged to your daughter, Hyūga Hinata. Once she reaches adulthood, we will formally hold the wedding."
For a moment, Hyūga Hiashi felt as though his mind had gone blank.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
She was still a child....
you beast.
As the clan head of the Hyūga, Hiashi knew that this condition was, in theory, acceptable.
But as a father.....
He felt an overwhelming urge to slam his palm down and kill the man sitting in front of him.
Seeing Hiashi's hand clench and unclench repeatedly, Arata feared that a single moment of carelessness might result in a lethal strike. He hurriedly explained:
"This proposal is meant to strengthen our alliance.
Moreover, you and I both know that Hinata's personality is far too gentle and introverted to inherit the position of clan head."
"If she were to marry into the Uchiha clan in the future, becoming the wife of the Uchiha vice clan head, no one would dare suggest branding her with the Caged Bird Seal."
Hiashi had never intended to arrange his eldest daughter's engagement at such a young age.
The Hyūga clan was extremely strict and conservative.
Once an engagement was set, it would be honored absolutely—there would be no such thing as breaking it, no matter the cost.
Yet after hearing Arata's words, Hiashi found himself hesitating.
He understood his daughter better than anyone.
Hinata truly could not shoulder the responsibilities of the main family.
If this arrangement could grant her a freer future—one without the Caged Bird Seal....then perhaps it was not a bad path.
Only now did Hiashi truly look at Arata from the perspective of a potential marriage partner.
And only now did he realize....
By the time Hinata reached adulthood, Arata would only be in his early twenties.
Despite being the strongest of the Uchiha and serving as vice clan head, Arata himself was still a young man, less than ten years older than Hinata.
Previously, Hiashi had been blinded by the many titles and auras surrounding Arata. Only after calming down did he realize that this feared powerhouse was, in fact, still a youth.
With his emotions settled, Hiashi began to seriously consider the proposal.
The man before him was Uchiha Arata—
Vice clan head of the Uchiha.
Their strongest combatant.
A figure ranked among the absolute top tiers of Konoha.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan had already separated from Konoha, eliminating any conflict of interest with the Hyūga.
In every sense, this was a perfect ally.
For a long time, the reception room remained silent.
Arata waited patiently.
He had no choice.
Out of genuine fondness for Hinata, he wished to marry her openly and honorably.
And as the legitimate daughter of the Hyūga clan, her status was more than sufficient.
As for the promise of supporting him during the Uchiha clan's leadership transition—
That was merely a convenient lie.
No one would have imagined that Arata already held the Uchiha clan firmly in the palm of his hand.
