Hinata openly opposed clansmen.
Even if she was the daughter of the head of the clansmen family, as a member of the branch family, she should still be severely punished.
Hiashi hesitated again and again, looking at Hinata who was calm and revealed a sense of distance, in the end, he still did not use Caged Bird Curse.
If it was any other branch family, they would have been tortured and lectured by Hiashi using the bird in the cage.
However, Hiashi did not do this to his daughter, Hinata.
He also had a feeling that Hinata did not seem to care whether he would use the caged bird or not. He was even prepared to be punished by him.
"Forget it, you can leave." Hiashi sighed.
Hinata knelt down again, got up, and left the room.
Wait for Hinata to leave.
Crash!
A door opened and Hanabi carefully walked in. "Father..."
"As you can see, Hanabi, your sister refused to hand over that powerful physical skill. Since she became a branch family member, her heart has been filled with resentment towards her family. You must pay attention to this." Hiashi said.
Hanabi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I won't become like my sister..."
"No, you don't understand what I mean. I mean, as the next patriarch, you should be alert and alert every branch family. Don't give them any chance!"
Hanabi looked up in shock and saw Hiashi's cold face.
Maintaining absolute control of the branch family was what clansmen should do, and also the mission and responsibility of the patriarch of Hyuga.
Especially after the incident with Hoheto, the internal rift and division of Hyuga's family was no longer a secret.
Now, they just suppressed this opposition.
"I have lost my eyes. This is the end of my life. I still have to rely on you to shoulder the heavy responsibility of my family... Hanabi, I will never allow you to lose to Hinata!" Hiashi shouted.
Hanabi replied respectfully, but her face showed a deep sense of loss.
Do you want to compete with your sister? Compete with the sister who was so gentle and kind before, but now she has become so cold and numb but showing talent?
Several families were happy and worried.
Few people would care about what happened inside the Hyuga clan.
The others were concerned about what they were concerned about.
In the Hokage building.
Minato and Yuuji were making a list of teams.
"Well, the other young people are almost ready. Only these few..."
Minato rubbed his forehead and let out a long breath. He had obtained a rare moment of free time from the heavy work.
Yuuji sat in the deputy seat and nodded, "No matter how much we value this time, this batch of Genin is too outstanding."
At this time, two figures pushed open the door and walked in.
"I heard that you want to confirm the list? Then we will definitely help you. We are very experienced in this area and will help you."
"Yes, Yondaime. I think we should separate Naruto and Sasuke. We absolutely can not let the super genius of Uchiha clan have the chance to get close to the Kyubi."
Koharu and Mitokado Himura were like sharks that smelled blood and hurried over.
Only power could make these two old guys accumulate so much.
"Hey, the two of you are still alive. I almost forgot about you two." When Yuuji saw that the two of them had arrived, he was too lazy to move. He sat on his seat and mocked them.
"Hmph, don't go too far. We won't harm the village."
"You don't understand. The matter of class allocation is extremely important. It is also the best opportunity for these young people to establish a bond. We must not be careless."
The two of them were in harmony, hoping to obtain more power like before.
As early as the two years when Yondaime first went on stage, the two of them were the remnants of Sandaime's era, holding a flag for Yondaime's good, not abdicating, cutting off Yondaime's authority.
Logically speaking, when Yondaime went on stage, he should promote a few people of the same generation as his assistants and the Hokage.
However, these two old fellows did not have any self-awareness at all and just took up the position.
He refused to give up his position to the young man.
Only Yuuji would not pay attention to these two "highly respected" people. He would argue with them when they met, and he would also interfere with them. He would not give these two people any chance to exploit any loopholes.
Over the long term, he took over the power of these two old relics bit by bit.
Yuuji only focused on the absolute control of Root's forces. He was not interested in anything outside of Root's forces, so the power that was seized naturally returned to the Hokage.
"My opinion is completely different from the two of you. We should form a team with Naruto and Sasuke," Yuuji said.
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? How can the first and second team form a team? There is no such practice! The first and last team should be arranged with an excellent companion as a supplement to form a team of three people!"
"Moreover, Sasuke is the most outstanding descendant of that clan. His father and brother have Mangekyou Sharingan! It is very likely that Sasuke will open Mangekyou and put the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki beside this clan. It is too dangerous!"
Koharu and Mitokado Himura turned around and shouted.
Minato also looked at Yuuji, wanting to hear what he said.
"What do you two know? You clearly don't know anything, yet you are still blindly commanding."
Yuuji sneered, "Because Mangekyou Sharingan is very dangerous, so he chose to escape from the beginning? Sasuke hasn't opened Mangekyou yet. He's just three tomoe. He doesn't even dare to form a team here?"
"This is different..."
"Same, I said the same. The two of you are very unnecessary. Leave this place."
Yuuji directly slapped the ground. In an instant, the ground under their feet suddenly collapsed and fell to the first floor.
"Yondaime, it is the best thing to form a team with Naruto and Sasuke. These two have been fighting for six years and have developed deep feelings for each other." Yuuji said.
"You..." Minato looked at the big hole in the office and shook his head with a wry smile.
The method was a bit rough, but without the two old fellows pointing fingers, it was much quieter.
Only Yuuji dared to do such a thing without restraint.
"Then, Naruto and Sasuke form a team. Who is the third person? Hinata or Yakumo?"
"My suggestion is Hinata. Hinata's Byakugan can bring good perception to this team and make up for the shortcomings of Naruto and Sasuke."
Yuuji said.
If he had to find out one of the shortcomings of these two, then it would undoubtedly be their perception ability.
Ninjutsu and physical skills, these two people had full energy value. In terms of illusion techniques, Sasuke had Sharingan, Naruto had nine tails that could be immune to illusion techniques.
Moreover, these two people both had astonishing chakra capacity.
If Hinata was stuffed in, it would be very easy to make up for it.
"Then it's decided. Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata will form a team. Who should the leader of the team be, Kakashi?" Minato muttered.
Kakashi was his disciple, and from the perspective of his master, it was extremely suitable.
Moreover, Kakashi was the Two-tailed Jinchuriki, and he was able to guide Naruto in controlling the power of the Nine-tailed Fox.
However, the problem was that Kakashi was not the kind of person who had affinity, so whether or not he could guide Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata well would be a question mark.
"Let me think about it..." Minato did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked about another matter, "What do you think of Naruto's strength at this age?"
Yuuji was stunned. "This is a good thing. It's better to control the Kyubi sooner than later."
Minato hesitated for a moment. "I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about many things that happened to Naruto. Even I don't know much about them. Mokuton and Bijuu..."
Minato had a headache. He suddenly felt that his son was so unfamiliar.
How did Naruto have Mokuton's blood inheritance? How did he reach a consensus with the Kyubi to obtain the power of the Kyubi?
Was there any conspiracy in this? Was there a possibility that Naruto was deceived and used?
"Everything else can be false, but only power can not lie."
Yuuji only said this sentence, then nodded slightly, turned around and left the office.
He knew what Minato really wanted to ask, nothing more than what he thought about the mysterious Sensei of Naruto being Akatsuki.
What could Yuuji think? He could only look at it with his eyes.
Minato sat alone in the office in a daze. He hesitated for a moment and went home early, intending to talk to Naruto.
However, Naruto was not at home. Instead, he was training.
Xiu!
Minato used Flying Thunder God to appear next to Naruto.
"You just finished your graduation exam and fought with Sasuke in such a fierce battle? Your body has not recovered well." Minato said.
Naruto didn't even blink as he said indifferently, "I'm still far from it. I definitely won't be satisfied if I lose to someone like Sasuke."
Minato sighed. "In the past six years, you have always been number one. No matter how hard Sasuke tries, he is no match for you. It doesn't matter if you let him win once in a while, right? Moreover, Sasuke himself is very outstanding and can rival you."
Naruto said coldly, "Sasuke surpassed me. I can't accept it. I should be stronger than him!"
Minato said helplessly, "As my son, can't you afford to lose?"
"You don't understand." Naruto's words made Minato speechless.
The father and son froze in place, the atmosphere oppressive.
After a long time, Minato slowly said, "Since you are so keen on cultivating, then I will teach you a very practical technique. That technique is called Rasengan, a seal grade A ninjutsu..."
"No need, you are very busy, go and busy yourself with your own things. Even if I want to learn ninjutsu, I can also find my Sensei to learn."
Naruto concentrated on refining chakra, continuously creating black trees, training Mokuton.
"..."
Minato was really at his wit's end.
Speaking of which, a 12-year-old teenager had already entered the initial stage of rebellion. No matter what his parents said, his children would like to argue and prove that they could do it.
It could be foreseen that in the next few years, the relationship between Naruto and Minato would be even more distant...
Minato also realized this and sighed deeply. "Back then, when your mother was still pregnant with you, she had high hopes for you. I hope you can become a great ninja."
When he heard his mother, Naruto stopped and looked at Minato silently.
Mother... a strange term.
He had never shouted this word before, nor had he ever seen the woman who had died of a serious illness and gave birth to him.
"I am walking on the road to becoming a great ninja." Naruto said.
Minato shook his head slightly. "You are still far from it. Your control over the Kyubi has not reached the level of your mother."
"How did my mother control the big fox?"
"The big fox..." Minato paused, "She can use absolute power to forcibly extract the chakra from the Kyubi. You can use the power of the Kyubi at this age, so you must have communicated with the Kyubi, right? You actually don't have the ability to control the Kyubi."
"Hmph, don't listen to your father's nonsense. So what if you forcefully control me? I'm still looking for opportunities to take revenge all the time."
Nine-Tailed had a ferocious expression.
The two women, Mito and Kushina, brought too much pain to it.
Mito was too strong, and even when she died, the Kyubi could not find a chance to retaliate.
However, Kushina's strength was a bit lacking, and he used Vajra Sealing Poison to hit it. Was it very powerful? How did she die in the end?
"Naruto, you are very much to this old man's liking. As long as the two of us get along well, you do not need to worry about anything. The only problem between you and me now is not that this old man is unwilling to help you, but your strength is too weak, and you are unable to carry more of this old man's chakra." Nine-Tailed said.
Naruto remained calm, but he agreed in his heart.
Although he and his mother, who had died young, were both nine-tailed Jinchuriki, they had embarked on different paths.
"I will surpass the two of you. In my own way, I have already embarked on the right path."
Naruto said to Minato.
"That's true. I have another question. How did your Mokuton's blood inheritance come about?"
"Sensei helped me develop the awakening. He said that I have always possessed Mokuton's talent." Naruto said coldly.
Minato frowned and pondered. Mokuton had blood support, and only the first generation had it.
Senju and Uzumaki were distant relatives, and had a blood connection... That Naruto awakened Mokuton blood support, which was barely acceptable.
Pa!
Minato placed his palm on Naruto's body and checked with his chakra, but he didn't find any problem, so he was relieved: "You really don't want to learn from me? This is a very powerful ninjutsu."
"I don't want to learn it, you go quickly, I want to continue to practice." Naruto said.
"The results of your class allocation have already come out. You, Sasuke, and Hinata have joined class seven."
Minato sighed and flew Raijin away.
"Me and Sasuke in the same team?" Naruto's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth. "Very good. This way, I will have a chance to defeat him!"
Naruto did not return on the black path, and continued to cultivate even more desperately.
...
That night.
Yuuji welcomed a visitor.
Uchiha Itachi.
"It's actually the two of you... who came for the matter of Sasuke?" Yuuji smiled.
"Yes, no. I found something very strange and wanted to ask you for advice."
Itachi was very respectful.
"Ask for advice? Interesting. It seems that you have discovered something. Tell me, what is it?"
"May I ask if there are any problems with Sasuke and Naruto? For example, Naruto. As the descendant of Uzumaki Clan, he suddenly awakened the blood inheritance of Mokuton, who was only at the first generation. This is different. As for Sasuke, there seems to be some conflict between him and Elder Setsuna"
Itachi hesitated for a moment and slowly opened his mouth. His heart was perturbed.
