Chapter 524: Hitachi: Can’t Beat Them? Then Join Them!

Forget about being the patriarch, and retreat quickly.

The great elder waved his hand to the others, signaling them to get out quickly and not bother the clan leader here.

Seeing this, the elders could only get up and leave one by one.

The bottom line that the Hyuga clan had defended for many years was torn apart, and they were one of the people forced to compromise.

The backs of these elders retreating looked somewhat lonely and helpless.

In the conference hall, Ri Zu still had his head down, and the Great Elder did not speak either, and the two of them just sat there quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the Great Elder finally spoke slowly, but his voice became a little hoarse:

"Patriarch, are you sincere when you say there will be a coup?"

Hearing this, Rizu, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head.

When the Great Elder saw Ri Zu's cold gaze, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch twice.

He seemed to ask something he shouldn't have asked.

"Great Elder, do you think I would make such a joke?"

“Not like…”

The elder smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But have you ever thought about what the outcome of the family would be if a coup really happened?"

"lost heavily."

Rizu answered without thinking:

"But I believe that Yan will keep part of the family heritage for Hinata's sake, but most of the clan members, I'm afraid..."

It's really for real!!!

The Great Elder had always wondered if Rizu was joking or pretending to be with them, but now there was no need to question it anymore.

"why?"

"Because I am the patriarch of the family, I need to be responsible for all the members of the family, whether they are from the branch family or the elders of the main family, so I chose to deal with the third elder and his men. I am also willing to lead the family to take risks, even if it fails in the end."

Rizu said decisively:

"As long as Hinata is here, the family heritage will not be broken. This is enough. At least Yan will not deal with Hinata and Hanabi."

Are we putting too much pressure on the clan leader?

Turn the table over and go to extremes.

Ri Zu is the clan leader. He cannot ignore the opinions of the elders of the main clan and branch clans. Because he is the clan leader, he needs to be responsible for all clan members. He is the one with the most difficult situation.

"It seems that I am really old."

The Great Elder said nothing more, shook his head, stood up and left the conference hall.

In the past, dealing with a few elders would have been an absolutely huge matter for the Hyuga clan.

But now, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Just execute them, it's no big deal. Not to mention the elders of the branch family, even if the elders of the main family are executed, the family inheritance will not be broken.

It's just that Japan has set a precedent.

A very bad precedent for the Hyuga clan elders.

If they want to do the same thing in the future, they should first think about whether they are strong enough.

Whether the village can find any evidence against them, and whether the patriarch will deal with them directly in anger.

The people surrounding the Hyuga clan's territory evacuated.

high speed.

This made the Hyuga people, who had been worried every day, feel relieved.

They had never thought that being forced to stay at home would be so painful.

They were worried all day long, fearing that one day the village would use any excuse to deal with them.

Now I can finally take a breath.

Many people suffered from insomnia that night, including Yan.

The difference is that Yan read too many documents, his mind was in a mess, and he simply couldn't sleep.

Early the next morning.

Many villagers discovered that the village had issued a new announcement.

The announcement contained a lot of content, which basically explained the problems of the Hyuga clan and informed the villagers that the village and the Hyuga clan had been in friendly negotiations and jointly resolving the conflict.

And the previous false news was completely released by spies from the hostile ninja village with the purpose of destroying the relationship between the village and the Hyuga clan.

This also includes the Sarutobi clan. Although the Sarutobi clan has many problems of its own, it is not as bad as the public opinion says.

Such an announcement is equivalent to providing a safety net for the Hyuga clan and the Sarutobi clan.

The difference is that the Hyuga clan is the focus, while the Sarutobi clan is only mentioned in passing.

"These damn spies are so abominable. They spread false information casually. Fortunately, the Hokage Office Building reacted quickly."

"I hope we can catch more spies this time, so that these pests won't harm our village."

"The Iwagakure and the Mist Village are really despicable. They actually sent spies to harm us."

“Compared to spies, I am more concerned about whether the problem of the Hyuga clan has been solved?

The main family won't target the branch family again, right?"

It is impossible to whitewash them all at once. The only thing they can do is guide them little by little, let the villagers realize that they are wrong, and then start to move their thoughts in the direction that the Hokage Office Building needs.

In this way, even if the Hyuga clan's reputation cannot be restored to its previous level, at least it will not be too bad.

Even if they are still criticized by others, it is better than becoming a rat crossing the street. In comparison, the Sarutobi clan is miserable.

"Is the coup d'etat serious?"

In the Hokage's office, Yan glanced at Hiashi who was sitting nearby drinking tea.

"it is true."

Hizuki nodded slowly: "If I don't take it seriously, how can others believe me?"

"......"

Your uncle's.

Yan fell into a state of speechlessness.

Others flip the table to scare people, but you, Hinata Hiashi, are different. You flip the table for real.

"Don't do it next time. This kind of thing is no joke."

Yan reminded Rizu.

Three times the limit?

No, not even a second time.

Ri Zu dared to do it for real because he knew that the elders of the family did not dare to do so.

No matter how loudly he shouted, he was just having fun alone. Even if he was discovered, Yan would not punish him or affect the Hyuga clan.

This is the confidence that gives him the courage to overturn the table and threaten a coup.

If the person sitting here was the Third Hokage, Hyuga Hiashi would definitely not dare to do this.

Otherwise, even if the Third Hokage accepted the Hyuga clan's peace talks, he would never let down his guard easily and would definitely continue to keep an eye on the Hyuga clan.

"As for the apology, you can handle it yourself. Go and negotiate with Shikaku later and ask him to send someone to maintain order."

The village issued a public announcement to explain, and Rizu, as the clan leader, would come forward on behalf of the family elders to publicly apologize to the people who had split up the family and to the villagers with utmost sincerity.

As the patriarch of a large family, he personally came forward to apologize, which was absolutely unthinkable in the past.

And now, almost no one dares to stop Rizu.

The elders of the family all remained silent. They neither opposed nor supported it. At the same time, they were too embarrassed to do such a thing, so the clan leader Ri Zu had to take action himself.

For Rizu, as long as the family's problems and conflicts are resolved and the family heritage can continue, what does a public apology matter?
