Chapter 200: Advisory Elders, You Have No Choice!
Is it really that simple?
Absolutely not.
After thinking about it carefully, Fugaku realized that there was another deeper meaning behind Hinata Hiashi.
For example, find a backer for his daughter, so that the family elders won't use family rules and regulations to block him.
Not only did you successfully provide the family with a potential helper, but you were also able to arrange a way out for your daughter. You really are worthy of being called Hinata Hiashi. You have planned everything that could be planned.
Rizu didn't say anything, but picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
They are all patriarchs of large families, and they know clearly what problems their respective families have!
Why bother to get to the bottom of it? Just know it in your heart.
"In that case, I have no other questions. As long as Yan has no objection, the Uchiha clan is willing to see the two families cooperate."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, but regarding the engagement..."
"We still need to negotiate with the elders of the clan. We will be able to give the Hyuga clan an answer in five days at most."
"Excuse me for disturbing you."
Having discussed the matter to this point, the goal was basically achieved, and Rizu decisively stood up and left.
Sitting here with Fugaku and pulling all the time is tiring.
"Go and inform the elders to come see me and tell them that there is something important to discuss. Forget about Elder Uchiha Yan and let him rest."
Fugaku immediately arranged for someone to notify the elders of the family.
But Fugaku stopped here at Yan.
Since Yan agreed and asked Rizu to come to him, then the negotiation about the engagement would be the same whether Yan is there or not.
With Tsunade around, Fugaku couldn't send anyone to disturb her so late at night.
So, the elders who had just returned home to rest received the notice and returned to the patriarch's courtyard.
Fugaku motioned for everyone to sit down.
After everyone was present, he briefly summarized what he had discussed with Rizu.
"I didn't expect that Hinata Hiashi would be so willing to push his own daughter out."
"Hahaha, doesn't the Hyuga clan not marry into outsiders?"
"That's because Yan is capable. If it were you, you probably wouldn't even be able to get a seat in the branch family."
"piss off."
After hearing this, several elders couldn't help but laugh and started making jokes about the clan rules of the Rixiang clan.
Although the Uchiha family does not like to marry outside their family, at least they will not explicitly refuse. If someone really gets married or brings a wife back home, the family will accept it.
Unlike the Hyuga clan, which directly came up with clan rules.
The Hyuga clan broke the tradition, and it was the Uchiha who broke it. This is a great thing, and it will give you face if you tell others about it.
Besides, Yan himself didn’t object, so what were they objecting to?
If you jump out to oppose this kind of thing, you will offend people.
As for Yan's personal problems, young people can understand them.
So several elders began to negotiate with the clan leader Fugaku.
However, Yan, the person involved, became an outsider and knew nothing about it.
"There is basically no problem with the Uchiha side. We will have a reply within five days."
After returning to the family, Rizu summoned the elders of the family as usual and gave them the inside scoop.
"Alas, I never thought that one day I, Hyuuga, would break traditions and clan rules. And we broke them with our own hands."
The clan's chief elder sighed. Although he agreed, he still felt uncomfortable.
The Great Elder also expressed what others were thinking.
Rizu said calmly:
"The new ranch in the village has been completed. The daimyo has sent a large number of livestock as a support to the village. In addition, many discoveries and reforms in the village were proposed by Uchiha Yan, and he will be involved in them."
"......"
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders, who were still a little unhappy, immediately shut up.
Clan rules are all set by people!
Everyone has to compromise and make adjustments. For the sake of family inheritance, some adjustments are acceptable.
Now it is the family that is sticking to them, rather than the other party actively looking for them. As human beings, we must distinguish between the primary and the secondary.
If this happened before Hyuga Hizashi was forced to death, these family elders would never agree to it.
They will try every possible means to prevent the family's white eyes from leaking out, let alone white eyes of very high purity.
Since that incident, the elders of the Hyuga clan realized that there are some things that you can't wait until they actually happen before you get anxious or face them.
Some unnecessary troubles and dangers must be nipped in the bud.
Stability is especially important for the Hyuga clan, who only want to develop steadily and do not want to experience any major storms.
Not to mention, Tsunade was really keeping an eye on them and really wanted to take action against the Hyuga clan.
The next day, when Yan woke up, Tsunade and Shizune were nowhere to be seen.
In the Hokage's office, two advisory elders, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, were invited over.
"Tsunade, do you have something to discuss with us?"
Tsunade is not the Third Hokage, who would go to them to chat when she has nothing to do.
If nothing happened, with Tsunade's personality, she would wish they would never show up.
So both of them are very self-aware.
"There are some things I need to discuss with you two."
Tsunade put down the documents in her hand, picked up a scroll, and said:
"I think you already know that the Kumogakure wants to hold a joint jonin exam. No matter what their purpose is, the invitation has been sent, so Konoha needs to send someone to participate."
"You two don't need to worry too much about the Jonin exams, but the village needs to send someone of sufficient status to be in charge of negotiations."
As the Hokage, Tsunade certainly cannot leave. The Third Hokage can, but there is no need.
Having an advisory elder go to the Cloud Ninja Village is already giving the other party enough face.
Besides, the Third Hokage was facing a lot of troubles, and Tsunade was too lazy to disturb him.
First Asuma disappeared, then Shinnosuke went to the Rain Country to investigate, and not only did he never return, he didn't even send back any news.
Judging from the current situation, it is either very dangerous or still lurking.
Lurking so deep that the message could not be sent out?
I'm afraid not many people would believe this, maybe Shinnosuke has already fallen.
"Why don't you let Jiraiya go there himself?"
The two looked at each other, neither wanting to take on this troublesome task.
Negotiation is secondary. The main reason is that running back and forth is too tiring, and they don’t like the person Tsunade chose.
As advisory elders, they knew which people in the village were suitable for such an assessment.
It’s okay for others, but they will feel uncomfortable when getting along with Yan.
I knew you would say that.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Jirai can go too, but he wants to take Naruto with him."
Do you still want Jiraiya to leave the village?
"No !!!!"
As expected, the two advisory elders refused in unison. They didn't want to run around everywhere, nor did they want to work with Yan.
But they would rather endure it than let Naruto leave the village. This is the bottom line.
If Naruto was only leaving for a short time to carry out a mission or something, I wouldn't say anything.
Following Jiraiya around the world is absolutely not an option.
