Chapter 241 - The Hyuga's Strategy

"You'll support me as Hokage?" Kazuki looked at Hiashi with interest.

His becoming Hokage was already a foregone conclusion, and originally, all he had thought was to rely on Rinka to prevent the Hyuga Clan from becoming an obstacle.

The Hyuga Clan was quite important to Konoha. If utilized well, they were a very good fighting force and tool.

Kazuki's direct subordinates were still a bit few. The Sarutobi Clan and Ino–Shika–Chō had already begun to lean towards him, but none of them were his direct subordinates. Although they could be considered his own people, they were still a little short of being direct subordinates.

Kazuki's true direct subordinates were Nawaki, Minato, Rinka, and Mikoto. And their forces could also be considered Kazuki's direct subordinates. Clearly, Rinka's forces were also Kazuki's current direct subordinates.

"Yes, the Hyuga Clan is willing to use the full strength of the entire clan to support you in becoming Hokage." Hiashi nodded slightly.

"Furthermore, the Hyuga Clan is willing to cooperate with all your actions from now on."

"Is that so? Then what does the Hyuga Clan need?" Kazuki appraised Hiashi with interest.

Without a doubt, this time Hiashi and even the Hyuga Clan were going all out.

But why would they do that?

Given the Hyuga Clan's unique nature, as long as they maintained neutrality, no one would do anything to them. After the future destruction of the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan would at most be reprimanded. As long as they could remain neutral, that would be enough.

But why was Hiashi doing this?

Hiashi gazed at Kazuki for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Kazuki , what do you think of Rinka?"

"Rinka? She's great." Kazuki quickly reacted, looking at Hiashi with a strange expression.

It couldn't be that, could it?

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The Hyuga Clan was much more rigid than the Uchiha Clan.

How could they arrange for a main family member like Rinka to marry him?

Keep in mind, he was an Uchiha. Even Hashirama and Madara back then didn't make them go to such lengths.

In fact, it wasn't that they didn't want to back then. Hashirama and Mito were engaged since childhood, so even if they wanted to do something, they wouldn't have had the chance. As for Madara, forget it, he clearly wasn't interested in women.

The current situation was not that of the future. In the future, Naruto would be a savior, and Hiashi would be happy to see Hinata marry Naruto.

If Hinata didn't marry Naruto, one of his two daughters would definitely need to have the Caged Bird Cursed Seal placed on them, but since Hinata married Naruto, there was no such trouble.

Naruto was the future Hokage, and even the strongest person in the Ninja World.

To place the Caged Bird Curse Seal on his wife, wouldn't that be asking to die?

Kazuki hadn't expected Hiashi to have such an idea. Indeed, this heir of the Hyuga Clan had quite wild thoughts.

"The Hyuga Clan hopes Rinka can be with you. If you have children in the future, and if they awaken the Byakugan, we hope they can join the Hyuga Clan and become the Hyuga Clan's heir." After a moment of hesitation, Hiashi finally gritted his teeth and said.

"What?" Kazuki was instantly dumbfounded.

As for his child taking the Hyuga clan's surname, Kazuki didn't really feel anything about it. After all, he himself wasn't an Uchiha by surname, and in his previous life, there were countless cases of two children, each taking one parent's surname.

Moreover, becoming the Hyuga clan's heir, what was there to refuse about that?

There was truly a throne waiting to be inherited.

Kazuki didn't even mind giving Mikoto a child to inherit the Uchiha clan, and Kushina a child to inherit the Uzumaki clan.

This was great, absolutely no problem.

"You are the Hyuga Clan's heir? Can you bear it?" Kazuki looked at Hiashi somewhat speechlessly.

Hiashi's heart rejoiced upon hearing Kazuki's words. As long as Kazuki didn't refuse his child taking the Hyuga surname, then everything would be fine.

"For the Hyuga Clan, all of this is worth it."

Hiashi took a deep breath and said, "You probably don't even know how much your Chakra is attractive to our Hyuga Clan."

Kazuki instantly understood. It was probably his Ōtsutsuki physique that the Hyuga clan had set their sights on.

This was understandable, his Chakra's attraction to the Hyuga was immense.

"I roughly know the reason. After all, my bloodline has reverted to an extent, and the Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Clan, and Senju Clan all originally came from one common ancestor. Theoretically speaking, my bloodline indeed has a significant effect on your Hyuga clan, activating that legendary eye of yours is not impossible." Kazuki said with a hint of playfulness.

Hiashi was dumbfounded. What did he just hear?

The Uchiha Clan, Senju Clan, and Hyuga Clan, they had a common ancestor? Was that not too shocking?

If they really had a common ancestor, why were they fighting so fiercely?

However, one point greatly concerned Hiashi, reversion?

No wonder Kazuki's strength was so formidable, was this bloodline reversion?

"The Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan are descended from the Sage of Six Paths, while the Hyuga Clan is descended from the Sage of Six Paths's brother, who possessed an eye no less inferior to the Rinnegan, the Tenseigan. That is, that legendary eye of your Hyuga Clan. I believe you understand what I mean." Kazuki hinted pointedly.

"The Tenseigan?"

This was the first time Hiashi had heard the name of that eye.

He really wanted to ask Kazuki how he knew, could it be that there were similar legends within the Uchiha Clan?

However, Hiashi was willing to believe his words.

Rinnegan, Tenseigan…

It seemed highly possible.

"Yes, the Tenseigan. Your bodies are too weak to bear the power of the Tenseigan, which is why there's such a backlash. Of course, the Caged Bird Cursed Seal isn't entirely bad for your Hyuga Clan, at least it protected you. You're not the only ones who possess the Byakugan, you know." Kazuki said, dropping bombshells one after another.
