In Aoba's expectations, for the sake of the village's internal peace, there was a high possibility that Sarutobi would agree to Uchiha Clan's request.
However, out of precaution, Sarutobi would inevitably introduce 'one of his own people' to form a restriction on Fugaku, so as to prevent Uchiha Clan from taking an inch and wanting more.
Especially after the disappearance of Danzo, who was the support of the Hokage, the authority of the two high-level consultants undoubtedly increased a little.
In this case, the other candidate was very interesting.
First of all, this person had to be someone who was not on good terms with Uchiha, and he had to stand on his side at the critical moment.
Secondly, this candidate had to have similar prestige, intelligence, strength, insight, and other factors as Fugaku. It would be best if his status was also on par with Fugaku.
This way, he would be able to convince the public, and it would not arouse the dissatisfaction of others, let alone be suppressed by Fugaku.
Finally, considering the brain-dead behavior that Homura and Koharu had done before they passed away, the new high-level consultants had to have a general view of the situation and not damage the interests of the village. They had to make useful suggestions.
In this way, there were very few people that Sarutobi could choose!
In Aoba's opinion, Hyuga Clan was a very good choice.
Because not only was Hyuga Clan as famous as Uchiha Clan, their own strength was not bad, and their reputation was very high.
More importantly, the relationship between the two families was very tense, and they both looked at each other with dislike.
Another reason was that Hyuga Hiashi had something against Sarutobi, or perhaps it could be said that Sarutobi had been kind to Hyuga Clan.
Under such circumstances, it was very easy for Sarutobi to regard Hyuga Hiashi as one of his own.
Therefore, as long as the Head of Hyuga, who was well-matched in all aspects, was willing to nod his head, then the position of another high-level adviser could be said to be his!
Don't ask, the others were still in the dark, and Hyuga Hiashi already knew what had happened and could fight for it specifically.
If Hyuga Clan still couldn't take this position even with so many advantages, then Aoba really had to consider changing an ally. He didn't want to be dragged down by a pig teammate.
Therefore, after carefully analyzing Hyuga Hiashi for a while, Hyuga Hiashi was immediately reassured.
This high-level adviser was going to be taken by Hyuga Clan!
It was just...
"As a high-level consultant, I have to give up my identity as a ninja. This is equivalent to me giving up my position as the head of the clan. This matter is a bit difficult."
Hyuga Hiashi was not pretending. He was indeed in a difficult position.
In comprehensive consideration, he was naturally the best candidate. He was also confident that he could persuade the Hokage.
But it was hard for him to accept giving up his position as the head of the clan.
Unlike Fugaku, he did not have a son as outstanding as Itachi. Hinata's personality made him very disappointed.
Did it really worth it to let someone else become the head of the clan just because he thought he had the position of a high-level consultant?
Aoba also knew what Hyuga Hiashi was struggling about. On one hand, it was the interests of the family, and on the other hand, it was his own interests. It was naturally difficult to make a choice.
Fugaku had already passed the position of the head to Itachi, so he naturally had nothing to think about.
Otherwise, if Fugaku was still sitting in the position of head clan, he would definitely have to think it over.
However, it was not like there was no other way.
Aoba, who had put down his teacup, suddenly spoke, "I heard that Hyuga-sama has a younger twin brother?"
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes instantly lit up!
That's right!
He and Hizashi were brothers, and Hizashi had been very unhappy when they separated from each other, so he was not qualified to inherit his position as the head of the family.
Then why not let Hizashi be Konoha's high-level consultant?
This way, not only would it make up for his guilt for his younger brother, but he would also be able to take care of both sides. He would continue to sit on the foundation of his Hyuga Clan Head, and Hizashi would become a nail for their Hyuga Clan to squeeze into the center of Konoha's power. He would be able to achieve great things!
This proposal was simply a divine brush, achieving the best of both worlds, killing many birds with one arrow!
Even if he had to give up his identity as a ninja, Hiashi believed that Hizashi would definitely agree.
It was not only because Hizashi needed to prove himself, he needed a stage where he needed to show off his skills, and it could also be considered as fighting for a chance for the separation!
It had to be known that Hizashi would definitely become a high-level consultant for Konoha, and his status would be different.
He could also take this opportunity to ease the conflict between clansmen and the branch family for a long time.
As for whether Hizashi, who held greater power, would not end up like this and instead threaten clansmen, Hiashi was not worried about this at all.
Because he understood his younger brother and knew that his younger brother was a person willing to sacrifice for the clan.
Besides, don't you still have the bird-curse seal in the cage?
"Good, very good! I, Hyuga Hiashi, will remember this kindness. In the future, you will be the most distinguished guest of my family. If you need anything, just mention it. After this matter is settled, I will prepare a generous gift for you, the kind that is particularly practical!"
"Sama, you are too serious. We are on the same boat, aren't we?"
Hyuga Hiashi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "Yes, if Hanabi wasn't too young, we might already be a family."
Wait a minute!
What the hell?
Hanabi?
Aoba was stunned and suspected that Hyuga Hiashi wanted to use his daughter to tie him up.
But he was not a beast. Hanabi was too young!
However, it was a good thing that he didn't mention Hinata. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed.
He never thought of snatching a girl from his brother.
Aoba wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only shut up.
Anyway, when Hanabi grew up, maybe he even had a child, so why would he say it to embarrass both sides?
Therefore, this became a beautiful misunderstanding.
Hyuga Hiashi thought that Aoba was interested in Hanabi, while Aoba thought that Hyuga Hiashi wanted to tie him up with her daughter.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Also, these few days, you must show that your Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan are incompatible like fire and water. The worse your relationship with Uchiha Clan is, the more the Hokage will favor you."
"Of course, I will send someone to find some trouble for Uchiha and send a few 'big gifts'!"
"Remember to be careful. Don't provoke Uchiha's people. Now the Hokage does not want to see any accidents, and maybe you will be punished."
"I know what to do." Hyuga Hiashi already understood what Aoba meant. If he provoked Uchiha Clan now, even if it was to be seen by others, the Hokage would definitely punish him severely.
However, this loss was nothing!
After finalizing some specific details, Aoba decisively said his goodbyes.
This time, Hyuga Hiashi was only polite and did not force him to stay.
Because he had to seize the time to hold a clan meeting to discuss how to take over the position of high-level consultant.
As for the rest, there was still a long way to go.
In the future, there would be plenty of opportunities to contact feelings.
