Especially the Uchiha Clan.
They were both Dojutsu clans. Why should the Hyuga Clan be considered inferior to the Uchiha Clan?
This position must be seized!
Hyuga Hiashi saw the situation and understood what he had to do tomorrow.
"Then, I will go to the Third Hokage tomorrow to propose this."
Chapter 15: Template Fusion Reaches Halfway!
The next day.
The Hokage Building was much more crowded than usual.
The Clan Heads of various families gathered here.
This included the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and other clans.
Although they did not have any thoughts about the Consultant positions, they still wanted to see who would obtain them.
The most eye-catching individuals were Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi.
One had basically been excluded from the core circle of Konoha, while the other had hidden in his clan grounds for years.
Today, both of them had appeared.
It was obvious they were here for the two vacant Consultant positions.
As for why those positions were vacant, no one cared.
The crowd only cared about who could take the Consultant seats.
While everyone was busy with their own thoughts, the Third Hokage arrived slowly at the office door.
"Oh? What day is it? Why are you all gathered together?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the question while acting leisurely. The crowd felt like cursing him in their hearts, but no one dared to show it.
They all put on smiles and greeted the Third Hokage.
The most eager among them were naturally Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi.
"Haha. We heard that the two Consultants resigned for some reason."
"You handle such tedious official business every day. We want to help share the burden!"
"We do not want you to be so tired. You should rest more."
Hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed out loud.
He wondered if they thought he was an old fool.
The word 'Consultant' was practically written on their faces. They still said so many high-sounding words.
They were all clever foxes. There was no need to play games here.
"Fine. You are asking the wrong person about the Consultant positions."
"Danzo and I have decided to let Baiye be fully responsible for this."
"If you want the Consultant positions, go and convince Baiye yourselves!"
"If there is nothing else, you may leave."
As Sarutobi Hiruzen issued the order to leave, the Clan Heads finally reacted.
They all exited the office of the Third Hokage.
No one expected that the Third Hokage would hand over such a matter to a ten-year-old child.
It was simply too ridiculous.
Even if he favored his grandson, he could not be this biased.
Even though they were dissatisfied, no one dared to show it.
If the Anbu recorded their expressions and told the Third Hokage, they would suffer the consequences.
Two figures in the crowd quickly left the Hokage Building.
They were Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi.
They did not have time to linger there.
They had to obtain the Consultant positions as quickly as possible.
While the two were rushing toward the Sarutobi Clan, Sarutobi Baiye had just woken up.
"Ugh."
Baiye woke up and disturbed Izumi beside him.
He looked at the naked Izumi.
Baiye felt his mouth go dry.
He only regretted that he was not old enough yet.
Otherwise, he would have started his morning exercises by now.
While the two were washing up, a servant slowly approached the door. "Young Master Baiye."
"The Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan and the Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan are here to see you!"
Baiye was not surprised by their arrival. However, it would not be easy to get the Consultant positions.
"Tell them to wait. I am not free right now!"
Hearing this, the servant did not dare to say more. He hurried back to inform the guests.
Fugaku and Hiashi were very dissatisfied with this news.
However, they could only endure it.
The two of them sat in the meeting hall and waited.
Meanwhile, Baiye finished washing up and checked his gains from yesterday.
He had slapped Utatane Koharu to death.
This rewarded him with five percent fusion progress.
Although he did not kill Mitokado Homura himself, it happened because of him.
Therefore, it was credited to him as well.
After the Root headquarters were searched, the rewards were automatically issued.
However, Baiye was busy wrestling with Izumi last night.
He had not had time to check his stats yet.
Now he took a moment to look.
[Host: Sarutobi Baiye]
[Age: 10]
[Ninjutsu: None]
[Taijutsu: None]
[Genjutsu: None]
[Bloodline: None]
[Template: Homelander]
[Fusion Rate: 50%]
[Unlocked Skills: Super Defense, Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Hearing, Flight, X-ray Vision]
[Next Template: Superman (Man of Steel)]
He felt the changes in his body.
Baiye did not expect that reaching 50% fusion would activate two abilities.
Except for the heat vision, almost all of Homelander's abilities were unlocked.
Furthermore, Baiye felt that his current self could easily defeat his self from yesterday.
He immediately began to experience his new abilities.
[Flight].
Soon, Baiye lifted off the ground.
His entire body floated in mid-air.
This feeling was simply too wonderful.
As for [X-ray Vision].
Baiye focused his eyes.
He could see directly through people's clothes.
He could even see internal organs and bones.
After testing his abilities, Baiye remembered that two people were still waiting in the meeting hall.
