219: Chapter 219 Jiraiya's Golden Signboard"Clan.Clan Leader!Uzumaki Naruto is here." A Hyuga clan member stumbled over to report.
Hinata Hiashi took a sip from his teacup and said in a very polite manner, "How can you be so flustered!If this kid comes, just tell him to wait in the living room.Do you really want me, the head of the Hyuga clan, to greet him personally?"
"No.that's not the case.He came here with Lord Jiraiya!" The man said directly to the point.
"Pfft.it's Lord Jiraiya who's here!Quickly notify the clan elders and Hinata, and come with me to welcome him!" The tea in Hyuga Hiashi's mouth sprayed far away, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the gate.
There is no need to say much about Jiraiya's status in Konoha.He is not only the disciple of the Third Hokage, but also the master of the Fourth Hokage.The current Fifth Hokage is also his teammate!
If Naruto came here on his own, he could still act like an elder.Because although Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, after all, Namikaze Minato has long passed away, and he is now the only one left in the Uzumaki clan!Although his current strength is obvious to everyone in the village, he is still weak!
The long-standing Hyuga clan has always practiced intra-clan marriage in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline.Therefore, both he and the elders of the clan were opposed to Naruto and Hinata's relationship, and naturally would not be too enthusiastic about him.
Although Naruto's current strength has been recognized by Hyuga Hiashi, it is not yet to the point where he would happily accept Hinata's marriage with a foreigner.
Although he had accepted Naruto's request to visit because they were in love, he was also prepared to show off, hoping that Naruto would give up!But now that Jiraiya had come in person, how could he dare to neglect him in the slightest?
"Lord Jiraiya!I didn't know you were coming.Please forgive me!" Hinata Hiashi bowed respectfully.
After all, this was Naruto's future father-in-law, so Jiraiya said in a rather easygoing manner: "Well, it's my fault for not informing you in advance, so you don't have to be so polite!"
At this time, the elders of the Hyuga clan gathered in front of the gate with their eldest sons and grandsons, lined up in an orderly manner and loudly welcomed Jiraiya's arrival.
Then Hyuga Hiashi personally led the way, leading Jiraiya and Naruto towards the Hyuga mansion.
Naruto and Hinata had known each other for so many years, but this was their first time stepping into the Hyuga family's gates.He was immediately dazzled by the opulence and sprawling estate, and he resolved to build an Uzumaki mansion to rival it someday!
The Hyuga clan members stood on both sides of the road, bowing respectfully.
This was the first time Naruto had experienced such a scene, and he thought to himself that the rules of the big family were really strict!
Hinata secretly raised her head and saw Naruto looking at her, blinking!Her face immediately turned red and she lowered her head again.
"Is this Miss Hinata's future husband?So handsome.and I heard he's very powerful!" A girl from the younger generation of Hyuga whispered.
"You heard right.I even suspect that he is more powerful than Lord Hokage!Recently, many S-rank rebel ninjas wanted by the ninja world have been killed by him.He is a powerful man who has been wanted by the five major countries for so long and no one has been able to defeat him!" another person said in admiration.
"Is what you said true?It's amazing!No wonder the clan leader didn't even explicitly object to Miss Hinata marrying him!"
"It would be great if you object!Naruto-kun is so handsome and powerful!As a branch family member, I might have the opportunity to marry Naruto-kun!" said a woman from the branch family.
"If that's the case, I will definitely marry Naruto-kun.I am much better than you in both appearance and strength!" said another woman who was slightly more beautiful.
Putting aside the arguments among the women here, Naruto and his party have already entered the reception room.
"I wonder why you've come this time, Jiraiya-sama." Hiashi naturally guessed Jiraiya's intention, since he had appeared with Naruto after all.His words were merely a prelude to the main topic.
"Haha, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Chief Hiashi!I was traveling outside in my early years, leaving Naruto alone and helpless in the village for so many years!Fortunately, he is now quite successful, and he and Hinata are in love with each other!Now that their relationship has reached the point where they can't bear to part, as Naruto's elder, I think it's time to visit you, his relative!" Jiraiya's words sounded extremely polite, but literally he had made the final decision on the matter between Naruto and Hinata!
These words made Hyuga Hiashi unable to cope.He was unwilling to agree to their marriage, but he did not dare to refuse in front of Jiraiya!
Ri Zu turned around and secretly glanced at the elders of the tribe.These old stubborn people were desperately winking at him.
Hiashi understood what the elders meant and said awkwardly, "Master Jiraiya, you know that the Hyuga clan has always practiced intermarriage!Their young people are ignorant and don't consider the consequences.If they get together, not only will their children inherit the Byakugan, but even if they do, their power will be greatly diminished due to the mixed bloodline!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened at this, "Oh?Are you saying that my disciple's bloodline is bad?"
"I dare not!Naruto's growth and strength are naturally obvious to all!" Hinata Hiashi dared not say that Naruto's bloodline was bad.
Jiraiya suppressed his anger and said earnestly: "We are relatives from now on, so I will tell you a few words from the heart!In fact, you should know how good your Hyuga family's Byakugan is.The upper limit is actually just that!I don't need to say much about my disciple's strength.His Uzumaki clan bloodline is like.Is Jin's performance inferior to your Hyuga clan?Have you ever thought about whether combining his Byakugan with yours would produce an even more outstanding bloodline limit?"
When Hiashi and the elders heard this, they immediately began to seriously think about the possibility of this problem.If someone else said this, they would just treat it as nonsense, but when it was said by Jiraiya, they really had to think about it carefully.
Not to mention that since Jiraiya has come to the village to discuss this matter, Naruto and Hinata's marriage is a done deal!Although Naruto's family has declined, his influence in the village is growing day by day!
The Fifth Hokage's prestige is now even greater!Her care and love for Naruto are also obvious to all the villagers!
They all witnessed Naruto's performance in the village last time, and they also had a general understanding of Naruto's battle with the Akatsuki organization!
After all, as Konoha's current top family, they would know a lot of information.Therefore, they also knew that if they put aside the tradition of intra-family marriage, Naruto would indeed be the best candidate for marriage.
