Chapter 62: Hyuga's Situation
The Uchiha clan was a significant destabilizing factor, and some members of the clan were even plotting a coup in an attempt to return to the center of power in Konoha. Danzo Shimura, who could not tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes, could not tolerate such things, and neither could Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. Therefore, although he didn't want Konoha to lose such a powerful fighting force, he was still hesitating. But he undoubtedly condoned Danzo's actions.
This village is full of Anbu, and his spies are everywhere. He knows exactly who Naruto comes into contact with every day, for example, Danzo, who is more important than Naruto. You have to know that in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, although he depends on Danzo, he is also wary of Danzo. However, just because Sarutobi Hiruzen could tolerate Danzo attacking Uchiha doesn't mean he could tolerate the decline of the Hyuga, the only remaining dojutsu family in the village.
When Ryosuke looked at Hyuga and Konoha from an outsider's perspective, he found that the situation of the Hyuga clan was not as complicated as he and his father had imagined. The outside world is full of countries that are eyeing the Fire Nation covetously and have always coveted its rights. However, Konoha's internal strength has been depleted. Whether it is the death of the Fourth Hokage or the extermination of the Uchiha clan, both have had a significant impact on the village.
The Hyuga clan is different from Uchiha. Although this clan prides themselves on their extraordinary talents, they are still relatively low-key and easy-going when interacting with people in the village. Although the Hyuga clan also had the idea of invading the village's power center, they have always hidden it well. As for the people of the branch family, they were labeled as caged birds, and they could not have free thoughts like the Uchiha family. When the orders and requests given by Hyuga Hiashi were to treat other people in the village kindly, they could only do as they were told.
Under such circumstances, the Hyugas maintained a good image in the village. It is also for this reason that they were not driven to the outskirts of the village like the Uchiha, but have always been in the center of the village and are respected by many villagers. Not to mention the attitude of the civilians in the village towards the Hyuga, even many ninjas in the village have received favors from the Hyuga. You should know that the Byakugan plays a huge role on the battlefield and can determine the outcome of the battle. Many ninjas have been saved by the Hyuga, and many victories were achieved due to the Hyuga's perception ability.
As a powerful family in the village, if the Uchiha clan was exterminated, everyone might applaud, but if something happened to the Hyuga, most people would still be worried. The Hyuga are equivalent to the eyes of Konoha. Without these eyes, it will lose many advantages on future battlefields. Therefore, in this situation of external and internal troubles, the status of their clan is still relatively high. As long as they remain as stable and kind as before, Konoha will be wary of them, but will not actually take action against them because there is no reason to do so.
It's not that Konoha Village cannot accommodate geniuses or strong people, but it cannot tolerate unstable factors and those who want to pursue individualism instead of considering the interests of the group. Even if there is, it can only be Danzo Shimura, because Sarutobi Hiruzen is confident that he can control him.
Under the desk lamp, Ryosuke's face was expressionless and his eyes were somewhat cold. When he absorbed all the information gathered and he began to think about and sort out these situations,for that he needs to remain absolutely rational. Only by not mixing in any personal feelings, standing at any angle, and not considering oneself as a Hyuga, can one make the most favorable judgment.
His high-speed thinking was interrupted, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Ryosuke's cold gaze penetrated the wooden door and saw the situation outside the house. Then, his cold gaze slowly subsided and became gentle.
"Coming."
Ryosuke called out to the person outside the room and he heard it. He quickly put away the two scrolls and returned them to their original place. He turned off the lamp and went to the door. Gently turning the doorknob, Ryosuke opened the door. Outside the house, the girl's long lavender hair fluttered in the air as the door opened. Hinata widened her eyes and raised her head to look at Ryosuke's face.
"Ryosuke, you've grown taller."
As if she had a natural alertness to the study, her voice became very low and her tone was extremely cautious. Although it was only three days, it seemed like a long time had passed since we last saw each other.
"Yeah, something happened recently, and I grew a lot taller." Ryosuke lowered his head, looked at Hinata, who was a head shorter, and replied with a chuckle, then reached out and patted her little head. Then, he turned his gaze to the darkness outside the house, "Is it already night?"
There were no windows in the study, and the only light source in the dim room was a desk lamp. He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't even realize that so much time had passed. Hinata half-closed her eyes and enjoyed being petted like a kitten. "Auntie Liang said you've already come out once, so I came to ask you if you want to have dinner."
"Certainly."
Ryosuke nodded, removed his hand from her head, and walked outside. Behind him, Hinata seemed to be in a good mood, jumping and skipping beside him.
"What have you been doing recently? Father won't let us see you, and won't tell us why. Hanabi and I are veryworried about you."
"Because my practice has reached a relatively important stage, I need a relatively quiet environment to do some enlightenment. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance and made you worry."
"It's okay... But a lot of things happened in the school during the time you were away. It turns out that Uzumaki Naruto is so powerful. He took first place in the recent practical course. I can't even beat him!"
"But the main reason is that Uchiha Sasuke didn't attend class. Something seems to have happened at home..."
They walked towards the cafeteria while chatting and listening to Hinata telling them about interesting things in school.
Did Naruto take first place? Ryosuke was a little surprised. After all, he had never fought with Naruto, let alone seen him take action. His impression of him is currently limited to being the last in the original novel and being in the top three in the theoretical course in the current timeline. Although he knew that Naruto's personality had changed a lot compared to the original timeline, he didn't know his actual strength.
Unconsciously, he asked a few more questions.
"It's mainly because Naruto's wind ninjutsu is very powerful."
Hinata said distressedly: "I haven't learned the Eight Trigrams Palm yet. I can't get close with just my Gentle fist."
"And he seems to have plenty of chakra. He uses all kinds of ninjutsu continuously. I can't save the situation. Even if I see his skills through my Byakugan, I can't respond well."
"Plus, his physical skills are not weak either, and his physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people..."
"It sounds like... he has a comprehensive grasp of his abilities."
Listening to Hinata's narration, Ryosuke was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, the current Naruto is quite different from the one in the original work. Under his guidance, Naruto now often harasses the Third Hokage. Although he did not formally become a disciple, in fact, the guidance given to him by the Third Hokage was no different from that of a personal disciple.
Naruto himself has good talent, but because of the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra, he is very poor in control and cannot use ninjutsu well. Now, with the guidance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, a doctor of ninjutsu, it seems inevitable that his strength will surpass that of his peers.
