Chapter 261 The Confusing Vortex

"Hinata Wei Yan said to be careful of Iwagakure!" The Third Hokage said this with a heavy face.

"So, Hyuga Wei Yan and the others encountered ninjas from Iwagakure this time?" asked Utane Koharu with a frown.

"We can't be sure, but we must be on guard against Iwagakure! That guy Ohnoki wants to eat us!" The Third Hokage tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

"Well, Iwagakure has always been eyeing our Konoha. According to the information brought back by Minato, Kumogakure has already begun to investigate the border of Konoha!! Ohnoki will not let this go." Mitomon En took out a map of the ninja world and pointed to the border of the Land of Fire.

"Now we have to look at the hospital!" The Third Hokage looked towards the direction of Konoha Hospital.

Hyuga family.

"Chief!" a voice came from outside the door.

"Enter!!"

Click!

The paper door was pulled open from the outside.

Hinata Hizashi, dressed in a gray kimono, walked in from outside.

Looking at Hinata Hiashi who was sitting in the middle of the room in a white kimono, he walked closer, bent down and bowed.

"Master clan leader!" Hinata Hizashi said respectfully.

"You and I are brothers, there's no need to be so polite! Hizashi!!" Hinata Hiashi picked up the upside-down teacup on the table and chuckled.

A cup of steaming hot tea was pushed in front of Hyuga Hizashi by Hyuga Hiashi.

"Yes, brother!" Hinata almost nodded and said obediently.

"How is it?" Hyuga Hiashi asked while staring at Hyuga Hizashi.

"Indeed, there are two elders, Hinata Wei Yan and Hinata Oka!" Hinata Hizashi said.

"After arriving at the ward, I observed that the chakra in Elder Hyuga Weiyan's body was very chaotic. He is currently in a coma. During this period, he woke up once when the Third Hokage visited him, and after saying "Be careful of Iwagakure", he fell into a coma again! He has not woken up yet."

"As for Elder Hyugaoka, Konoha Hospital is currently doing its best to rescue him. I have arranged two ninjas from the Hyuga family to be on standby at all times!!" Hyuga Hizashi respectfully recounted what he had done and what he had seen and heard.

"The loss of the elders of the Hyuga branch family this time is an immeasurable loss to our Hyuga clan. The remaining two elders must be protected well," Hyuga Hiashi said to Hyuga Hizashi.

"I know, brother!" Hinata Hizashi put down the teacup in his hand and said respectfully.

"Hizashi, thank you for your hard work!" Hinata Hiashi said to his younger brother who was kneeling opposite him.

"It's not hard, it's all for the family!!" Hinata Hizashi smiled.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!!" Hyuga Hizashi said goodbye to Hyuga Hiashi.

Hinata Hiashi nodded and said nothing.

After Hinata Hizashi left, the sound of the paper door being pushed and pulled came from the inner room of the house.

"Rizu!!" A strong and energetic old man walked out from the inner room.

"Father!" Hyuga Hiashi greeted the visitor in a low voice.

"What do you think about this matter?" Hinata Hiashi picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Father, I have secretly sent people to investigate, and the situation is basically the same as what Hizashi said! Now both elders Hyuga Wei Yan and Hyuga Oka are unconscious, and I can't explain the specific situation clearly." Hyuga Hiashi said respectfully.

"Yeah!" Hyuga Daisuke looked at Hyuga Hiashi with admiration in his eyes!

"Hiashi, you must remember that as a main family, you must always be on guard against the branch families, even your own brothers!!" Hyuga Daisuke felt that Hiashi was a teachable child when he saw that he secretly sent people to investigate.

"I understand, father!" Hinata Hiashi nodded.

"Father, it seems that the great elder of the Hyuga branch family, Hyuga Shihei, is dead!" Hyuga Hiashi said to Hyuga Daisuke.

"Well, this is the best time for my Hyuga family to fully control the branch family."

"That guy Hyuga Weiyan is a fence-sitter. Now that Hyuga Shiping has been pacified and Hyuga Ryuichi is dead, we can completely control the branch family by simply winning over that guy Hyuga Weiyan. You must not miss this opportunity!"

"Hizu, you must go to the hospital more often and pretend that you care about Hinata Weiyan!!" Hinata Daisuke said in a deep voice.

"I understand, Father!" Hinata Hiashi said respectfully.

"Now that you are the new clan leader, you must consider issues comprehensively!" said Hyuga Daisuke.

Today, the Hyuga clan not only faces pressure from Konoha's high-level officials, but also pressure from the branch families.

The Hyuga branch family actually created a Hyuga Yusei right under the nose of the main family, attempting to split the Hyuga family. This is a major concern for the main family.

Fortunately, Hinata Yusei has died, otherwise, the Hyuga family might really split into two clans.

At this time, the elders of the Hyuga branch family had either died or were disabled. It was time for the Hyuga main family to take back power.

"Got it, Father!"

"Father, are you aware of the mission that the elders of the Hyuga branch family are going out to carry out?" Hyuga Hiashi asked Hyuga Daisuke in an inquiring tone.

"I don't know. Hinata Shihei didn't tell me clearly at the time. He just said that the village gave him a task and he had to go out to complete the task." Hinata Daisuke lowered his eyelids, as if recalling the original situation.

"Okay, Hiashi, the most important thing right now is to resolve the issue of the separation of the family. Don't think too much about other things!!" Without waiting for Hiashi to say anything, Hyuga Daisuke got up and left the room.

"Yes!" Looking at Hyuga Daisuke's departing back, Hyuga Hiashi opened his mouth and said nothing.

The Hyuga branch's attempt to split the Hyuga family has touched the main family's most sensitive line of defense.

Now, within the Hyuga family, surveillance of the branch family has reached its most stringent stage.

The difference between a branch family and the main family is that the power in charge of a branch family is jointly governed by several elders.

Fortunately, most of the elders of the Hyuga branch family are now dead or injured.

It is the time when the main family takes control of the branch family.

Hinata Hiashi turned his gaze towards the direction of Konoha Hospital.

What he didn't know was that outside the house, Hyuga Hiashi's father, Hyuga Daisuke, was also turning his gaze towards the Konoha Hospital.

When Hinata Shihei went out, he naturally told Hinata Daisuke his purpose, but the child had already returned safely.

However, the elders of the Hyuga branch suffered heavy casualties.

This couldn't help but make Hyuga Daisuke wonder whether this was the result of the village's reaction to the pressure he had exerted on the village's top leaders some time ago.

Hyuga Daisuke now feels that the wisest choice is to resign as the head of the Hyuga family in a timely manner.

Even so, Hyuga Daisuke felt that the Hyuga family was caught in a whirlpool.

A whirlpool that could crush you to pieces if you're not careful.
