In the study, apart from Hyuga Hiashi, there are four elders, including two clans and two branch houses.

In the Hyuga clan, the status of elders is very high. Some major decisions about the family are not only made by the clan leader alone, but the elders also have the right to participate in the decision-making.

In the case of Hyuga Hizashi, the opinions of the elders prevailed over the opinions of Hiashi, the clan leader.

Of course, Hiashi was relatively young at that time and his foundation was not stable. Now, nearly ten years have passed, and he has become a mature and stable leader who is loved by everyone in the clan.

Now, looking at the elders, Hyuga Hiashi understood their purpose: "Elders, Neji has asked Hanabi to give me a reply to what you said."

"Oh?" An old man with half-closed eyes, as if he was not awake, said, "What did he say?"

This is Hyuga, the great elder and the clan elder with the highest status in the clan.

Hyuga Hiashi shook his head: "Neji is unwilling to hand over the secret of that move."

"..."

The elders were silent for a while, and Hyuga closed his eyes, waiting for others to speak.

The old man wearing a felt hat broke the silence, "Neji, this kid, is really a bit ignorant. It seems that he didn't listen to what I said last time."

This old man is none other than the branch house elder who went to see Neji last time, Hyuga Zonghui.

"Hmph! It's unreasonable. That boy Neji actually dares to refuse!" Another branch house elder with a red face scolded, "You really don't understand the overall situation!"

"Who says otherwise?" Hyuga Zonghui said, "This kid is too selfish. He only knows how to ask for things, but he doesn't know anything about rewards. Isn't it because of his family's resources and cultivation that he can become a genius recognized by the village and possess great strength? "

"Elder Zonghui's words are a bit off." Hyuga Hiashi said at this time, "Neji basically trains by himself and has not received guidance from the elders in the clan. Although I have taught him for a few days, it is only I shared some experiences but didn’t really teach much.”

Hyuga Zonghui was interrupted by Hiashi's words and immediately looked unhappy: "Not to mention training, isn't his food and clothing provided by the family?"

"...Elder Zonghui, you should know that he lives on the family property left by his father Hyuga Hizashi. And this family property is distributed because of the clan members' contributions to the family."

"you……"

"Okay, you two should say less."

Hyuga stopped the two of them and looked at another clan elder: "Daqi, what do you think?"

Hyuga Daqi smoked a dry cigarette and said slowly: "Neji is a genius, but he is also a member of the Hyuga clan. As a clan member, he has the obligation to contribute the moves he has developed to the family. If every clan member is as selfish as him, How can that family be so strong?"

"Elder Daqi's words make sense." Hyuga Zonghui nodded in agreement.

"This child is young and energetic, and I can understand that. But there are some things that are allowed to be willful, and there are some things that are not allowed." Hyuga Huichong said slowly, "Hiashi, as the leader of the clan, you must give priority to the family. I know you Remembering Hizashi's love for dying for you, I always wanted to make it up to his son Neji...but this time is different."

Hyuga Hiashi remained silent. At this time, he understood that the four elders were here to force him to express his position.

Obviously, Neji's move has made everyone unable to sit still.

Hyuga Hiashi can understand that after he first learned about "Revolving Heaven", he also fell into a long-term excitement that could not be calmed down.

This technique completely makes up for the lack of mobility in Revolving Heaven, and it also contains many more profound boxing principles. If everyone in the family can learn it, the overall strength of the Hyuga family will develop by leaps and bounds!

However, after getting excited, he calmed down and thought about it, and realized that this move might not be so easy to master, and perhaps only a few people would be able to understand it.

If we were to select these few people among the Hyuga clan...the powerful elders would naturally be among them.

This would also explain why they were in such a hurry.

Hyuga Hiashi didn't speak. Several elders exchanged glances with each other. Hyuga Huichong said in a deep voice: "Hiashi, what are you still thinking about!"

"...Elders, I still think we'd better not force Neji. He is a genius that the family has only seen for decades or centuries. Is it really good for the family to push such a genius to the opposite side of the family?"

"hehe……"

"Hiashi."

"Hahaha."

Hyuga Hiashi's words not only had no effect, but caused a burst of laughter.

After laughing, Hyuga Zonghui said in a gloomy tone: "Clan leader Hyuga, no matter how talented Neji is, he is still just a little bird."

"Elder Zong Hui, you!"

Hyuga Hiashi's expression suddenly changed. How could he not understand what he meant... It seemed that if he, the patriarch, did not agree, he would use "Caged Bird" to force Neji to submit.

"Elder Zong Hui, you... are the elder of the branch house!" Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were sharp, "Neji is also a branch house, how dare you have the heart to say such things!"

"Hmph!" Hyuga Zonghui snorted, "It is precisely because I am the branch house elder that I want Neji, who is also a branch house, not to go astray! Don't become a family rebellious!"

"Zong Hui is right..." Hyuga Huichong took over.

"Hiashi, what Elder Zong Hui said is what I want to say. Think about it for yourself. Don't make the matter too ugly. If it spreads, it will only bring shame to the family."

Speaking of this, Hyuga Hiashi's face turned extremely ugly.

If he doesn't take a stand, the clan elders will use Caged Bird. Even if Neji is a genius, what can he do?

But if he takes a stand, Neji's side, Hanabi's side...

Hyuga Hiashi, who was in a dilemma, suddenly said after a long silence: "Elders, you may not know that Neji is valued by many people."

"Um?"

Several elders did not understand the meaning of these words for a while.

Hyuga Hiashi continued: "He has now entered the sight of the village's senior officials. Lord Hokage even told me that he admires Neji and wants him to join Anbu."

Join Anbu! !

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were shocked.

They knew that if the Hokage fell in love with someone and wanted him to join Anbu, he meant that he wanted that person to become his confidant... The Third Hokage actually fell in love with Neji? Want to make him a confidant?

This... is not good...

The four elders were all human spirits and immediately understood the subtext of Hiashi's words.

If you use Caged Bird to force Neji, and Neji goes to Hokage to complain, and Hokage steps in to mediate, how can you old men not give him face?

But……

The other three people all looked at Hyuga, who pondered for a while and said:

"Neji is Hyuga Neji. He is a member of the family and has the obligation to contribute to the family! Even if Hokage-sama comes, I will still say this."

These firm words made Hyuga Hiashi understand the determination of the elders.

They thought that Hokage would not conflict with the elders of the famous Hyuga family over a junior. Even if he really wants to take action, Hyuga Neji is, after all, a member of the Hyuga family. Just saying "internal affairs of the family" will make it difficult for the Hokage to actually intervene.

Hyuga Hiashi's last move didn't work, and he knew he had no choice.

However, he would never bear to watch Neji being tortured by Caged Bird...

"Elders, you mean that as long as Neji hands over the secret, this matter will be over, right?"

"No, he must teach his clan members, even if it's just one. He only gives secrets, which is unreliable."

Even if you only teach one...

"I understand." Hyuga Hiashi nodded, "Then I will persuade Neji and ask the elders not to go to him before then."

"That's right. Hiashi, you should think more as a clan leader and think in a direction that is beneficial to the entire family." A smile finally appeared on Hyuga Hui Chong's face.

In the grass outside the door, after hearing these words, Hanabi covered his mouth and crept away.

On the roof, the two Hyuga Jōnin in charge of the guard looked at each other.

"It seems that Miss Hanabi eavesdropped on the conversation in the room."

"So what, you still want to catch her?"

"How is that possible... But we are the clan leader's personal guards, and we must tell the clan leader about this later."

"Um."

Hanabi left the yard and immediately ran to Neji's house as fast as he could.

Knocking on the door, she spoke quickly and told Neji everything she remembered. After hearing this, Neji smiled at her: "I know, thank you for doing this, Hanabi."

"It doesn't matter! Brother Neji, they don't know that you are not controlled by the curse seal yet!"

"Well, okay, you go back first."

"knew!"

Hanabi ran back again, and Neji sat on the bed, thinking about it.

After a while, the door rang again.

Neji went to open it, and it was Hyuga Hiashi who came over immediately after finishing the meeting.

Hyuga Hiashi entered the courtyard without saying a word, suddenly gathered up his clothes, knelt down in a standard earth seat, knelt his head on the ground, and bowed to the ground.

Neji was slightly startled: "Chief, what are you..."

"Neji, I call you teacher and beg you to teach me that move. I hereby swear that after I learn it, I will never teach it to anyone else."
