At this time, Elder Fukiage tried to prop himself and roared fiercely, “What on earth are all of you doing? Neutralize him, Hyuga Kuroto is rebelling against the Hyuga Clan, he must be punished immediately!”
However, there was no movement, the only response he got was silence from all the branch members who completely disregarded his order, and looking closely, he noted joy and relief in the eyes of many as if they were happy to see whatever Kuroto does.
“You all?!” Seeing everyone’s reaction, Elder Fukiage was taken aback.
For the first time in his life Fukiage realized that if not for the fear of Cage Bird Cursed Seal, none of the members of the branch family would follow the orders of the main family, such resentment has accumulated in their hearts.
At the same time, the seed of fear sprouted in his heart, ‘What would happen if the entire branch family really initiated a coup d’état?’
If what Fukiage feared really happened, then even if the Cage Bird Cursed Seal could control the life and death of the branch family members, it would be useless, and the main family wouldn’t have any power to resist the branch family!
Perhaps Hiashi also realized the seriousness of the matter, and finally said, “Kuroto-kun... I think it would be best to stop here... This matter, if it continues to escalate, would cause irreparable damage to the entire Hyuga Clan... which is something I believe both of us don’t want to see... right?”
Kuroto snorted, “As you wish Patriarch-sama...” then removed his foot from the top of Elder Aoyama’s head, and said, “I just wanted to let some old men know that they aren’t invulnerable... so it would be best that they stay within their limits, and try not to step out because if they try to annoy me, then I won’t stay in my limit, and that would be very bad for the ‘entire’ Hyuga Clan...”
The three elders were ashamed and angry when they heard Kuroto’s words, if eyes could kill, they would have already killed Kuroto countless times.
Not caring about their murderous intention, Kuroto turned around and walked towards the exit of the hall, “Unlike some worthless old men who have nothing better to do in their life, there are a lot of things I have to take care of, so I will be leaving.”
As Kuroto left the hall, Elder Aoyama finally got up and hysterically shouted, “Hyuga Kuroto... don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the protection of Hokage, that protection can be taken away in a moment!”
In the eyes of Elder Aoyama, the only reason Hyuga Kuroto dared to jump around so much in front of them is that he is part of the Hokage Faction, and Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to favor him. But if that protection is taken away, then Kuroto would be nothing more than a Jonin!
Hearing Elder Aoyama’s shout, Kuroto stopped and shook his head with a sigh, “Sigh.”
...
A few days later, Konoha Ninja Academy
Seeing Naruto being the center of all attention, Sasuke felt strange and left out.
Normally it would be him surrounded by people. At that time, Sasuke didn’t like all that attention and felt annoyed, but now he feels a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Neji approached Sasuke, and asked, “What are doing here all alone?”
Sasuke folded his hands over his chest, and said, “I am tired of hearing Naruto’s bragging.”
Neji said, “He does deserve this honor.”
Sasuke said with a pout, “But much of what he is speaking didn’t even happen!”
Neji chuckled, “I guess that’s true, but we should let him be.”
Sasuke shook his head, “Whatever...”
At this time, Neji asked, “Want to have a duel...?”
Sasuke shook his head, “Not today.” Then got up to leave.
Surprised at Sasuke not accepting the challenge, and seeing him go home, Neji asked, “You are going back home so early? Are you going to skip today’s training?”
While walking towards the gate of the Ninja Academy, Sasuke said, “Yeah... I won’t be training today... I have to go somewhere... I am going to go to the Nekoshou domain to choose a summon. See you later Neji...”
