Chapter 96: She Began to Face Some Darkness and Cruelty
"While the head of the family and the leader enjoy rights, they must also bear corresponding responsibilities and pressures."
"If someone without talent becomes the head of a family or a leader, the entire family and the entire team will be dragged down."
"Any wrong choice will have a huge impact on the family..."
When people enjoy benefits without actually harming their own interests, they will always unconsciously ignore some things that are not good for them. But when Hinata realized this problem, the idea unconsciously arose in her mind that such a system was wrong.
It was obvious that as long as she ignored this problem, she would be the future head of the family, regardless of whether she had enough ability or not. But Hinata still brought it up, and even gave a lot of examples.
A soft voice with a firm tone echoed in the study room. Her thoughts became clearer as she spoke, and the content presented to Ryosuke became more real. She no longer looked at the problem from one perspective but from multiple perspectives. Hinata showed new growth.
"Of course... this is, of course, problematic."
Ryosuke left the bookshelf and came back to her, looking straight into her eyes. "But this system was established by the people of the main family. As a member of the main family, you also benefit from this system."
"Knowing that this system is imperfect, do you intend to overthrow it? Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will most likely lose your status as the head of the family. Even so, are you still willing to try and cut off some flesh from your own body?"
This serious tone made Hinata a little stunned. But then she nodded seriously, "Of course, this is the wrong system."
"The capable are promoted to the top. This is the foundation for the development of a family or even a village. This is what you told me before."
Hearing Hinata's answer, Ryosuke didn't react for a moment. After thinking carefully, he remembered that he had once casually mentioned it to her while practicing. Unexpectedly, she actually wrote it down.
"Indeed, the superiority of the capable is one of the fundamentals for a family to develop, but before that, there is one thing you should know first." Ryosuke nodded, "It's about... Hyuga's system."
Although Hinata's first thought after realizing something was that there were loopholes in this system, in fact, she didn't understand everything. Then all this is meaningless. She doesn't know what she wants to overthrow or what she has to face.
"As you know, the Hyuga family is divided into the main family and the branch family."
"People of the main family are born into the main family, and there is only one lineage, only the head of the family and the heirs of the head of the family. Regardless of whether they are the old-fashioned elders of the clan or those who hold high positions and govern many clan members, they are all people of the branch family."
"In order to prevent the bloodline from leaking out, protect the clan members, and ensure the purity of the main family's bloodline, once the branch family members reach a certain age, they must follow the clan rules and be engraved with the curse of a caged bird. Not only will their Byakugan be restricted, but even their lives will be at the mercy of the main family..."
Ryosuke spoke and Hinata listened carefully. As he continued, her face first became solemn, then as if she realized something, it turned ugly, and finally, she became speechless.
Yes, after Hinata heard the complete description of all the Hyuga systems from Ryosuke, she could no longer simply shoulder some responsibilities and make some promises as she did before.
With a confused look on her face, Hinata left the study in a daze.
Before they knew it, it was already late at night. There are still classes tomorrow. Although she can ask for leave, Hinata will definitely go to school unless there is something special.
After she left, Ryosuke was the only one left in the study. He sat quietly in the chair, in a daze for a while, then got up silently, tidied up the study, and returned to his room.
When it comes to important family responsibilities or even changing the system, you can't express your determination by just saying a few words. Although people in this world mature relatively early, it is still difficult for a child of a few years old to have this kind of awareness. There are only a few people like Uchiha Itachi who takes on everything on his own at the age of thirteen.
There was only one year left until Hanabi would receive the caged bird seal. Although Ryosuke could easily change this matter, it might be more reasonable if it was done by Hinata, the future head of the family.
In the original timeline, after Hinata learned about the family system, she obviously kept trying to escape because of her personality and was unwilling to take on this responsibility and burden. Although Hinata's personality has changed in this world and she has taken on some responsibilities, it does not mean that she can be responsible for this family.
Therefore, what Ryosuke hopes most is, of course, that this incident can serve as a kind of tempering for her. However, because there were so many things to think about, he couldn't help feeling a little tired.
Although he doesn't have to be so tired, he can arrange everything for Hinata. But Hinata is his wife after all, not a puppet or a tool. Ryosuke training her was merely a guide, hoping that she could have her own ideas, rather than forcing her to become a doll that only knew how to obey.
So in this process, she needs to make some choices on her own...
Hinata felt very heavy-hearted during the following period. Originally, she only had a cold face in front of outsiders, but now, when she is at home, she will occasionally have a stern face, as if she is thinking about something.
However, Ryosuke did not feel sorry for her changes. The pressure of the family responsibility is enormous, but she has to face it on her own and be strong. Besides, he is not Hinata's nanny, nor is he a teacher. He is just a husband who guides his wife to make some choices.
During this process, Ryosuke couldn't pay attention to her all the time, as he had his own things to do. In the clan, his father has been working with some of the clan's top leaders to deal with the affairs of the Land of Waves.
The village is the same, and also attaches great importance to the affairs of the and of Land of Waves. Many commissions that deserve more attention were directly rejected by senior management.
Now almost everyone in the village is busy with this matter, just to reach an alliance.
In this situation, it is Ryosuke, the initiator of this plan, who has the most free time. He doesn't even need to show up in public, as his father will synchronize all the information about the plan to him every once in a while.
Therefore, he has a lot of time to practice.
As for school, Ryosuke definitely didn't go because Uchiha Sasuke was always watching him. Anyway, taking leave and staying at home was a common occurrence for him.
It can be said that from the time he entered the Ninja School a few years ago to now, he has probably spent less than three months in school.
