Chapter 522 Who would want to die if they could still live?

"My elders, what does this mean?"

Hiashi frowned and said unhappily:

"The village and the family already have irreconcilable conflicts. Since the conflicts can no longer be reconciled, a coup will be the only way out for the family."

It is you who are unwilling to change, and it is you who dare not stage a coup. So what exactly do you want to do?

Hiashi couldn't help but recall the adjective Yan used to describe the elders of the Hyuga family...coward!

In the past, he thought that Yan said this simply because he was unhappy with the Hyuga clan.

Now it seems that these elders of the family are indeed cowards.

"Chief, the conflict between the clan and the village is not irreconcilable, but a coup is unacceptable."

"Yes, I believe that as long as everyone sits down and negotiates slowly, everything can be resolved."

"Patriarch, you must not be impulsive. Don't say such things in the future. If it is leaked, it will bring great trouble to the family."

Back then, Uchiha wanted to take his family away from Konoha and find a new place to settle down, but what was the result?

No one in the Uchiha clan was willing to leave with Madara, which led to Madara becoming completely disappointed with his family.

The Uchiha clan, who had been accustomed to a comfortable life after joining Konoha for more than ten years, had become like this, not to mention the Hyuga clan, who had always chosen stability and compromise for the sake of family inheritance.

Asking them to stage a coup would be an international joke.

"Does everyone think so?"

Hiashi frowned and looked around at everyone.

The elders who had strongly opposed it in the past now nodded quickly like chicks pecking at rice. They were all frightened by Rizu's words.

coup?

What are you thinking about, Patriarch?

This kind of thing will kill the family.

"bump!!!"

What no one expected was that Rizu suddenly slammed the table and angrily rebuked:

"Are you kidding me? Not long ago, one by one, you forcefully asked me to stand up and reject the village for the sake of the family.

Now, I have rejected the village, rejected Yan, torn the faces between the two sides, and made up my mind to lead the family on another path.

Now you tell me that the conflict between the family and the village can be reconciled."

"........"

Ri Zu's words made many elders lower their heads in shame.

Because that's exactly what they did before, or to be more precise, that's how they've always done it.

Because they believed that it was impossible for the village to have a falling out with the family. Just like in the past, every Hokage wanted to solve the problems of the Hyuga clan.

It's a pity that every generation of Hokage was unable to take action in the end, and over time they had the illusion that the village would not completely fall out with the family.

Instead they chose to be tough.

As a result, the matter has become a big deal and is difficult to resolve. Rizu seems to have been forced into a desperate situation, so he plans to fight to the death with his family.

These elders immediately panicked.

It is true that they like to be high and mighty, but they do not want to drag their entire family to be buried with the dead, especially when they and their family members are among those buried with the dead.

"Cough cough!!"

Seeing that things were beginning to move in an uncontrollable direction, the Great Elder coughed and changed the subject:

"Chief, this time the third brother and his men..."

"I have executed him!"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Rizu's eyes, and he spat out these words coldly.

"what???"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the Great Elder, but everyone else also looked up at Ri Zu in astonishment.

Executed?

Several elders were executed just like that?

This includes the elders of the clan. Is this such a joke?

No, is it that cruel?

In the past, they laughed at the Uchiha clan because the Uchiha clan leader was a coward who would not show any mercy at critical moments and would raise a knife against his own people.

Now, this kind of thing has happened to them.

The elder's voice trembled a little: "Patriarch, are you serious?"

"Humph."

Rizu snorted coldly:

"These people are afraid of death and greedy for power. If the Hyuga clan wants to embark on a coup, then they will be the biggest stumbling block. For the sake of the family and the inheritance of the bloodline limit, I can only execute them."

"......"

The entire meeting fell into dead silence.

The people present felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their heads were buzzing as if reality had hit them.

If the elders who did not attend the meeting were really executed, it would mean that Rizu was really determined to stage a coup.

So get a few stumbling blocks out of the way ahead of time.

Not only were the elders of the branch families dealt with, but even the elders of the main family couldn't escape.

For a moment, everyone looked at Rizu with a bit of fear and vigilance.

They fear they will be the next target for execution.

For some things, once a gap is opened, there will be two.

"Now, as the clan leader, I will give you another chance to choose.

If I accept mediation and peacefully resolve the conflict with the village, I can swallow my pride and go to the Hokage's office building in person to ask to see Yan.

No matter what, he is my future son-in-law, and as his father-in-law, I have to lower my face and he will give me some face."

"But doing so would mean that some of the rights of the family would be weakened."

“If the elders still feel that the conditions of the village are unacceptable, then follow my footsteps and create a new path for the family.”

No matter looking at Rizu's expression or tone, no one would think that he was joking at this moment, but that he had already made up his mind.

As long as these elders express their opinions, he, as the clan leader, can immediately lead his people in resistance.

In the conference hall, many elders were so anxious that their foreheads were covered with cold sweat and they were extremely worried.

"Please ask the clan leader to go to the Hokage's office building as the father-in-law and negotiate with the assistant on behalf of the family."

Without giving other elders a chance to speak, the chief elder made the decision directly on behalf of everyone.

coup?

This is impossible, because a coup would mean the demise of the Hyuga clan, especially when the village is already prepared, staging a coup would be seeking death.

Not to mention Yan, who is said to be the strongest man in Konoha, is staring at them.

If you dare to do anything rash, you will die.

This world will not stop turning without anyone, including you, the Hyuga clan.

The Great Elder was busy making decisions. It was not because he was afraid of death, although he himself did not want to die, but if he could, who would want to die?

The fundamental reason why he made his statement was that he was worried that someone would have a brain seizure and continue to provoke Rizu.

This caused the Hyuga clan leader, Hiashi, to really stand up and shout, urging the Hyuga clan to remember their friends even when they become rich and powerful.

At this time, Ri Zu really couldn't stand the stimulation.

"Are you sure you want to negotiate with the village?"

Hiashi asked, frowning.

"this......."

A group of elders looked at each other, somewhat hesitantly.

They don't want their family to stage a coup, but they are also reluctant to give up their own rights.
