Chapter 213 : Abolish caged birds
"Submit?"
Hiashi Hyuga's pupils constricted, his expression turning ugly.
As the Ninja World's recognized "Pupil Technique" powerhouse, the Hyuga Clan had been in a competitive relationship with the Uchiha Clan since the founding of Konoha.
The debate over which was the strongest Pupil Technique Bloodline Limit—the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan or the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan—had never ceased.
Now, Uchiha Yuzuru was actually asking their Hyuga Clan to submit... Wasn't this telling everyone that the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan was inferior to the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan?
Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga spoke in a low voice: "Clan Head Yuzuru, I feel that this request of yours is very inappropriate."
"We can follow your commands when attacking Konoha, but wanting us to submit is a bit too much."
"You should understand our Hyuga Clan's Byakugan; a single Ninja from the Hyuga Clan can bring a huge advantage to their side in war, not to mention our entire Hyuga Clan!"
Hearing Hiashi Hyuga's reply, Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled and shook his head, raising an eyebrow as he asked: "Hiashi, do you think I need the strength of the Hyuga Clan to attack Konoha?"
A terrifying amount of Chakra soared into the sky, and Uchiha Yuzuru's Aura climbed step by step.
Hiashi Hyuga immediately felt an indescribable sense of oppression, feeling his breathing become sluggish.
Under the immense pressure, he subconsciously activated his Byakugan.
But the next second, cold sweat broke out on Hiashi Hyuga's forehead.
"Th-this, this level of Chakra..."
On Uchiha Yuzuru, he even felt a level of Chakra more terrifying than when the Nine-Tailed ran rampant in Konoha all those years ago.
The image of that massive Susanoo from a few years ago surfaced in his mind, and Hiashi Hyuga's mind suddenly became clear.
That's right.
Back then, Uchiha Yuzuru had destroyed all of Konoha by his own power.
Even now, many places on the outskirts of Konoha were still just clusters of shantytowns.
If one Uchiha Yuzuru could turn Konoha into this state, then if Uchiha Yuzuru led the Hidden Cloud Village to attack Konoha, Konoha would have even less power to resist.
Where would he need the support of a mere Hyuga Clan?
Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga asked in confusion: "Clan Head Yuzuru, then what did you mean when you said you needed to borrow the prestige of our Hyuga Clan?"
"Literal meaning." Uchiha Yuzuru spoke indifferently, "The Village was founded by the Uchiha Clan, so naturally, I will lead the Uchiha Clan to return to Konoha openly and uprightly."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo regard our Uchiha Clan as Rogue Ninja, so I will make them lose their reputation as Rogue Ninja themselves."
"With the support of the Ninja Clan, this matter will be somewhat smoother."
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's explanation, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly realized.
Because of the Byakugan Bloodline Limit, the Hyuga Clan's prestige in Konoha was indeed very high.
If they stood up to support the Uchiha Clan and pointed out that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and others were the Rogue Ninja, it would indeed deal a huge blow to the legitimacy of the Hokage faction.
"Of course, the support of the Hyuga Clan is just the icing on the cake for me; even without it, it wouldn't affect my plans."
"You also know that not only the Uchiha Clan, but the only heir of the Senju Clan, Princess Tsunade, is also living in the Hidden Cloud Village."
"And Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo..."
"With these cards in hand, it is enough."
A breeze blew into the room, and the Hyuga Clan head couldn't help but shudder.
He only then realized that his back was already soaked with sweat.
Uchiha Yuzuru had probably been planning all of this many years ago.
Such profound scheming combined with that terrifying strength...
Uchiha Yuzuru instantly became someone Hiashi Hyuga could never provoke.
"How is it, have you considered it?"
Hiashi Hyuga came back to his senses and nodded respectfully: "I have thought it through, I will lead the Hyuga Clan to submit to you."
"Clan Head Yuzuru, do you still need the support of other Ninja Clans? I can go and run errands for you."
Since he had no power to change things, he would show his value as much as possible.
Hiashi Hyuga felt he could pull a few more Ninja Clans to follow him in submitting to Uchiha Yuzuru.
That way, not only could he gain some credit in front of Uchiha Yuzuru, but it would also allow the Hyuga Clan to be mixed among many other Ninja Clans, preserving a bit of face.
However, Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head slightly: "When the Uchiha Clan was in Konoha, those Ninja Clans didn't do less evil."
"Even if they want to submit, they must suffer a bit first."
Hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly felt a bit of relief in his heart.
Originally, he had some complaints about the Hyuga Clan submitting to the Uchiha Clan, but now looking at it, other Ninja Clans didn't even have such an opportunity to surrender early.
Once the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha went to war, who knew how many members of those Ninja Clans would die.
In comparison, the Hyuga Clan was already lucky enough.
Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga's attitude became even more respectful: "Thank you, Lord Yuzuru, for giving us such an opportunity. We will definitely follow your lead."
Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand dismissively and continued: "This is just one of the conditions."
The smile on Hiashi Hyuga's face froze, and he asked with some trepidation: "Lord Yuzuru, what other requirements do you have?"
Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled and said: "You don't need to be nervous, my request is very simple."
"The Hyuga Clan must abolish the caged bird seal system and allow clansmen to intermarry with outsiders."
When the words fell, Hiashi Hyuga was stunned on the spot.
He had thought of many possibilities.
Like Uchiha Yuzuru wanting money, food, or secret Ninjutsu scrolls...
But he never expected that Uchiha Yuzuru would make such a request.
Let the Hyuga Clan abolish the caged bird seal system and allow clansmen to intermarry with outsiders?
No matter how you look at it, this is just an internal matter of the Hyuga Clan.
"Lord Yuzuru, how could you have such an idea?"
Hiashi Hyuga really couldn't understand what good it would do for Uchiha Yuzuru to make such a request.
Uchiha Yuzuru did not explain, but said indifferently: "You just need to tell me whether you agree to my request or not."
As a transmigrator, Uchiha Yuzuru clearly knew the potential of the Byakugan.
When the Byakugan evolves to the extreme, it will awaken the Tenseigan.
And the Tenseigan is an existence on par with the Rinnegan, and even stronger in terms of attack power.
The most important thing is that the unique Tenseigan Chakra mode is simply too cool.
Coolness is a lifelong matter; Uchiha Yuzuru would naturally not miss it.
