Chapter 517 Let the bullets fly for a while longer

In the following days, some rumors about the Hyuga clan quickly spread throughout Konoha.

Many Konoha villagers were shocked when they found out about this.

What's going on with the Hyuga clan? Why is the main family so harsh towards the branch family?

It's like treating the separated family members as non-human beings.

These are all people from the same family, and I have never heard of such a situation in other families.

For the sake of family inheritance, there is no need to make it so scary.

When the truth was revealed, too many people were shocked.

After all, the clan rules of the Rizu clan are so strict that they are scary.

Coupled with the inaction of the main family, the branch family is directly inferior to others.

For a time, countless villagers sympathized with the people who had separated from the family, and the reputation of the main family was ruined.

This situation made the elders of the clan as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Speaking of which, Shikaku is indeed a bad guy. Every day when he delivers supplies to the Hyuga clan, he always gives away some news for free.

Otherwise, the Hyuga clan would never know that the main family has a bad reputation.

Because of the affairs of the Hyuga clan, the outside world was in turmoil, but Hiashi, the chief of the Hyuga clan, was leisurely brewing tea in a remote courtyard in Konoha.

Looking at Hinata patiently making tea, Yan shook his head speechlessly:

"It's a mess outside, with everyone talking about the Hyuga clan. The reputation of the main family has been completely ruined, and yet you still have the mind to drink tea here."

"The time for a solution has not yet come, and the pressure is not enough. The stubbornness of the clan elders is far beyond what Xunren imagined."

As the clan leader, Ri Zu is very clear about the stability of the elders of the clan. This matter must either be dealt with once and for all, or nothing should be done, so he needs to wait patiently.

Before that, he needs to take shelter.

"As long as you are happy, anyway, if there is a real mess and something goes wrong, it will be the Hyuga clan that will bear it. I don't care if they hate me or not."

"Take your time to savor it."

It's okay to drink a cup of hot tea occasionally, like Hiashi and Fugaku...

Yan admitted that he didn't have the patience or the interest.

Since Rizu himself is not in a hurry, let the bullet fly for a while.

Anyway, the Hyuga clan's anxiety is in vain. They dare not make any rash moves. They can only sit at home and wait anxiously for the clan leader to return soon.

Unfortunately, their patriarch had already returned.

However, the clan leader felt that the time was not right, so he had no plans to return to the family immediately.

You can be as anxious as you want, but I'm not in a hurry.

If the anxious elders of the Hyuga clan were to know that their clan leader and Yan were in collusion and were working together to deal with them...

These elders would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.

They thought the patriarch was on their side.

Unexpectedly, the clan leader turned out to be Lao Liu, a traitor.

Instead of standing on their side, they stabbed them in the back, with each stab going directly into their kidneys.

If the main family is disgraced, it means that the Hyuga clan's reputation is also disgraced. As for the branch family, although it can gain a little sympathy, it is of no use.

In the short term, it will be difficult for the Hyuga clan to hold their heads up.

Fortunately, Japan also showed its courage for once.

So what if it smells?

It is better to have a bad reputation than to have the family inheritance in jeopardy.

As for reputation, after everything is over, the Hokage Office will issue some announcements to divert the villagers' attention, and it will gradually recover after a wash.

Even if someone mentions it again, I won’t think about it in other ways.

After all, public opinion is something that can be controlled.

As long as the conflicts within the Hyuga clan are resolved, it will not be difficult to control public opinion as long as the Hokage Office Building is willing to cooperate.

So Rizu was not in a hurry, not at all. He even felt that the bullet could fly for a while.

Although Hiashi was not in a hurry, the elders of the Hyuga clan were extremely anxious.

Look, they are sitting in the clan meeting hall, they no longer have their former elegance. Each of them has dark circles under their eyes and looks sleep-deprived, and it is obvious that they have not rested well.

Going through so much trouble day after day is exhausting.

"The family's reputation has been ruined, and the people in the branch family are uneasy. If this continues for a long time, the family will definitely be in trouble."

"The clan leader has not been able to return to the clan. I suspect that the clan leader has been detained by this brat Uchiha Yan."

"Damn it! As the son-in-law of my Hyuga clan, he has been targeting us all the time. Would it be good for Uchiha Hiko to destroy my Hyuga clan?"

Some angry elders have begun to curse Yan as an ungrateful person. They even promised to marry Hinata to him, but now Yan is directly targeting the Hyuga clan.

The thing the elders were most worried about happened.

The family members were in turmoil as they separated.

Just as Yan expected, the main family can control the life and death of the branch family members, but they dare not arouse public anger at this time. Even if the people in the branch family have other ideas, they can only endure it.

Anyone who dares to move against the family at this time would be equivalent to lighting the fuse of a bomb.

By then, there will be no need for Yan to take action, as the Hyuga clan will cause chaos on their own.

They are certainly unwilling to give up their rights, but if they don't give up, the current situation does not allow them to hold on to their rights.

The elders of the main clan were all so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, while the elders of the branch clan, strangely, chose to remain silent.

Because they are caught in the middle and are not accepted by either side, if they speak for the people from the branch family, they will be targeted by the main family. If they speak for the people from the main family, they will become a thorn in the eyes of all the people from the branch family.

At this moment, even the elders of the branch family who were madly defending the main family and were die-hard fans of the main family did not dare to speak casually.

It’s not a big deal if he himself is hated, but if his family and descendants are also hated... then the consequences will be very serious.

"wait."

Great Elder Hyuga couldn't come up with any ideas at this time. The most important thing was that without the clan leader, it was useless for the elders to make any decisions.

Moreover, the Great Elder noticed that as the pressure grew, the positions of several of the clan elders had begun to waver.

They wondered if they should just give up those rights and that would resolve the issue.

These elders of the main clan whose positions are not very firm, although they also treat the people from the branch clan as non-human beings, at least they are not the type that are strong and like to target the people from the branch clan.

And those elders of the main clan who looked down on the branch clan from the bottom of their hearts had no intention of compromising.

After taking a look at these people, the Great Elder sighed in his heart:

"I hope it won't turn into a bloody incident."

When the time comes to make a choice, these elders who remain stubborn to the end are always afraid that the outcome will not be good.
