Chapter 225 Hinata's Departure (Subscription Request)
"Really... Is there nothing to negotiate? Hiashi."
The room was quiet for a while, and Jiraiya spoke again bitterly, "I know that the appearance of Ryosuke has brought a lot of changes to your clan."
"I also know that Hinata can't be immersed in a low-key life, but... do you have to leave? Konoha hasn't treated Hinata badly over the years, right?"
Using a negotiating tone, it seemed a bit humble for Jiraiya, who has the status of Hokage.
But in fact, he never felt that he was superior to others after becoming Hokage. Instead, he felt constrained and uncomfortable.
"In fact, the tailed beasts in the Sand Village were captured recently, and the Akatsuki organization has started to take action again." Jiraiya explained softly, "After abandoning the Rain Country, their whereabouts have become more erratic, as if they have no permanent country." "Although I don't know what their specific purpose is, there is no doubt that their goal is by no means as simple as one tailed beast. Perhaps... they want to control all the Jinchūriki and the nine tailed beasts in their hands." "Although Ryosuke's strength is no longer comparable to that of ordinary ninjas, he should not be able to fight against nine tailed beasts at once, right? What's more, there are those vicious rebel ninjas in the Akatsuki organization, and from the current situation, the boy with the Samsara Eye is not dead." Now, although the situation in the ninja world seems stable, in fact, its superficial stability is supported by the alliance. The alliance formed by the countries headed by the Fire Nation has always intimidated other countries in the ninja world, so that they dare not easily provoke disputes. Even the once extremely warlike Lightning Nation has not made any moves since the fifth generation of Raikage took office. Even for the small countries around it, they have not often asked for tribute as before. They dare not act rashly, for fear that their actions will give the alliance an excuse to march into their countries. "This calm water surface is maintained stably under the promotion of the alliance." "Now the people of the Akatsuki organization have begun to act, and you Hyuga are leaving Konoha at this time. Once there is a problem within the alliance, those forces in the ninja world that are secretly ready to move may start to operate." "The long-accumulated war will make this war more serious than every previous ninja war!" Speaking in a deep voice, Jiraiya stood at a relatively high height and saw the full picture of the ninja world. Although he knew that Hyuga's departure was a good thing for both the other party and Konoha, it must not be now! At least... we have to wait until the new generation of Konoha rises and has the confidence to suppress various countries. "In fact, as you said, if the strength of the alliance can really suppress the ninja world, then even if Hyuga leaves Konoha, it will not have any impact on the situation in the ninja world." Sitting opposite him, Hyuga Hiashi's attitude was always calm, "The Rain Country will join the alliance, and the relationship between Hyuga and Konoha has only changed to a cooperative one, and this will not change." "Konoha has always been our friend of Hyuga, so we did not leave without saying goodbye, but chose to stay and say our final goodbyes to you." His meaning is obvious. Hyuga has always been in the alliance. It is useless to persuade them with this relationship and the righteousness of the ninja world. If you want to talk, you have to show some more practical benefits, not just empty promises. Jiraiya also understood what he meant. It's not that you can't talk, but you didn't show anything more practical and attractive to Hyuga. If Hyuga Hiashi really didn't want to talk at all, then before he received the news from Utatane Koharu, Hyuga would have been empty. "Is that really the only step?"
Jiraiya stared at Hyuga Hiashi for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, "Then if I am willing to promise the position of the sixth Hokage to Hyuga Ryosuke, will you still leave?"
"What a pity."
Hyuga Hiashi replied regretfully: "Ryosuke is only focused on improving his strength. He doesn't care about these false names at all. He is unwilling to become the sixth Hokage."
However, his answer has made Jiraiya understand one thing, "So you mean that if you Hyuga people sit on the Hokage, you will not leave, right?"
This time, Hyuga Hiashi did not answer him, but stared at him quietly.
Since there was no answer, there was no denial.
The atmosphere in the reception room quieted down again. After a long time, Jiraiya nodded, "Okay." He stared at Hyuga Hiashi in front of him seriously, "I, Jiraiya, don't think I am a qualified Hokage. Although I have worked diligently since I took office, I have only stabilized the situation of Konoha, but I can't make Konoha develop further." "Compared to being a jade sitting in a country, I am more suitable to be a general who fights in all directions." "At present, there is no suitable candidate to become Hokage in the village. If you Hyuga can find someone in your clan who is suitable to become Hokage in terms of ability and character, I am willing to give the position of Hokage to you Hyuga, but I have a condition." Hyuga Hiashi did not ask, waiting for his conditions. "Hyuga should focus on the village. You can become the master of Konoha, but you can't treat other families and villagers in the village as slaves. You must treat everyone equally and treat everyone in the village as a member of Hyuga."
Jiraiya said seriously, "Where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and let new leaves sprout."
"Everyone in Konoha Village is a leaf, regardless of surname or bloodline. This is the true meaning of the will of fire, and it is the belief of building a village, developing a village, and uniting people's hearts."
"Konoha without the will of fire will no longer be Konoha. If you can't agree with and implement this will, then I will not hand over the village to you even if I watch you leave."
This is the reason why the Konoha high-level officials have always excluded the family, and it is also the last bottom line of the village.
The person in power should look at things from a general perspective. If the Hokage who is in charge of the village is a selfish person who only seeks profit for his family, then the village will decay and fall into darkness.
Konoha is a shared world, not a family world.
The atmosphere was silent again.
Jiraiya waited for Hyuga Hiashi's reply, and Hyuga Hiashi also stared at him and fell into deep thought.
Time passed by bit by bit, until the sky outside gradually darkened and the sun set, and then Hyuga Hiashi sighed and said, "Senior Jiraiya, if you came to me today as the Hokage instead of a friend, then I might tell you that the will of fire is also in the hearts of everyone in Hyuga." On the other side, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "I miss the time when I fought with you and you guys." Then he stood up, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Hyuga Hiashi also stood up, "Stay for dinner before leaving?"
"No."
Jiraiya shook his head, "There are still many things to deal with. I have to pass this message to the representative of Konoha in the Land of Rain."
After a pause, he asked again, "Is there anything I can do to help you pass any message to Hyuga Iroha? My special channel can reach it quickly."
Without much persuasion, Hyuga Hiashi saw him to the door and also refused, "No need, we also have channels to pass the message."
In fact, a small number of people from Hyuga have already migrated to the Land of Rain, and the letters that need to be delivered are already in the hands of the team leader.
"Just send it here."
After leaving Ryosuke's house, Jiraiya stopped at the right time, turned around and looked at Hyuga Hiashi, "I hope... Konoha and Hyuga can always be friends."
Hyuga Hiashi nodded seriously, "Of course, I hope so too..."
With some complicated emotions in his heart, Hyuga Hiashi watched Jiraiya go away until his back disappeared from his sight.
Having lived in Konoha for decades, he once planned to become the ruler of Konoha. Of course, he was reluctant to leave this land in his heart.
But for the development of the family, it is necessary to give up some feelings.
"It's not easy for Master Jiraiya. Konoha is now in tatters and it will take time to recover."
I don't know when, Ryosuke also appeared at the door of the house, standing side by side with Hyuga Hiashi.
"Actually... I just made a not-so-appropriate decision."
Hyuga Hiashi's voice was a little regretful, "I could just pretend to agree to Jiraiya's conditions, and when we really stand firm in Konoha in the future, how the village will develop in the future is up to us."
"But unfortunately I don't want to lie to him, nor do I want to deceive my former colleagues in the village, so I missed a better choice."
Compared to the Rain Country, Konoha is of course a better choice.
Not only does it have a complete management system, but there are also many ninja families, and the Fire Country is behind the stable funding of this village.
But unfortunately, he was soft-hearted and made a wrong decision just now.
"Father, you've suppressed yourself too much."
Ryosuke chuckled, "It's not a wrong decision. With our abilities, it doesn't matter where we go."
"Besides, even if we succeed in getting the position of Hokage in Konoha, there will be a lot of families and ninjas to check and be wary of us. We will definitely be restricted at the beginning."
"It will take a lot of effort to win their hearts and make them obey us. It's a waste of time."
He thought it was good. "Although the Rain Country is not as good as Konoha or the Fire Country, their local armed forces are almost non-existent."
"Being invaded by foreign forces and having an extremely humiliating meeting, they are definitely eager to welcome our family to settle in. As long as the requirements we put forward are reasonable, they will not refuse to become our logistics resource department."
Compared to the restrained Konoha, the Rain Country, which can show its strength without any scruples, may be more suitable for the current Hyuga.
"I hope everything goes well."
Hinata Hiashi did not dwell on this choice that had already passed, "Speaking of which...what about Shanks and Nozomi Saki?"
"They moved out."
Ryosuke replied casually, "I heard that we Hyuga were going to leave Konoha and the Land of Fire and go to other countries to develop. Nozomi Saki began to keep a certain distance from us, and Shanks followed."
"Is this his choice?"
Hinata Hiashi was not annoyed, "After all, they are just ordinary people. The Land of Fire is their foundation. If they leave here, they are nothing, so naturally they don't want to follow us."
"Not necessarily, he may still be hesitating."
Ryosuke replied, "Anyway, the cooperation between the Saki family and us has been reached, and we have received the benefits that should be received. It's up to them whether they follow or not."
"As for Shanks, he is a little wary of us, but he will definitely go to the Rain Country to find us."
"Only our Hyuga is the most likely partner in the ninja world to help him seize the Gate of Time and Space. If he wants to go home, he will definitely come to us."
The various cooperation agreements that the Hyuga have reached in the Fire Country over the years will not be affected by their migration. Although the consortiums and officials of the Fire Country may not renew the contract after the contract expires, the current cooperation will definitely not be affected,
because the Rain Country will definitely join the alliance, and it is normal for alliances to exchange what they have.
As long as Konoha does not want to tear its face with Hyuga, it will temporarily condone these things.
The news that Hyuga is about to leave Konoha was finally confirmed after Jiraiya contacted Hyuga privately.
After leaving Hyuga, Jiraiya not only delivered the exact news to Utatane Koharu, but also hurriedly convened a meeting to discuss the matter. Of course, Hyuga Hiashi was not invited to participate in the meeting. The leak of this news also made many families in the village feel incredible. Although the combat power shown by Hyuga at this stage has been repeatedly raised because of Hyuga Ryosuke, they are a ninja family after all. It seems that this is the first time since the establishment of the village that they have left the ninja village alone to develop. After that, they began to feel worried and concerned. Without Hyuga, once a war broke out in the ninja world, Konoha would lose a pair of eyes that could control the overall situation, and even... these eyes might become their enemies. This made many families in the village feel heavy in their hearts. Then, this news spread from various families and reached the ears of other people in the village. Soon, the matter of Hinata leaving Konoha became the hottest topic in the village.
Everyone in the streets and alleys was discussing this matter, and even the students in the ninja school were analyzing the impact of this matter on Konoha.
However, compared with the big families who understood the current situation of Konoha, the small families and villagers in the village were obviously much more cheerful.
They did not think that Hinata's departure would have much impact on Konoha, just like the Uchiha clan was exterminated, Konoha still operated as usual.
In their hearts, Konoha is always the first force in the ninja world.
Hinata's departure may make them discuss for a long time and will dominate the hot topics of Konoha, but there will be no panic because of it. However, there is no doubt that everyone is reluctant to see Hinata's eyes leave.
Hinata is still different from Uchiha.
