Kuroto was on his way to the Hyuga Clan after leaving Izakaya.
Now that Tsunade had been persuaded, she had to finish her part of the bargain. The issue of cash to pay off Tsunade's debt is entirely his responsibility, and Kuroto will not involve the Klan in it, but for the first deal, Patriarch Hyuga will have to be persuaded.
Kuroto's belief in his ability to persuade Hyuga Hiashi is based on two factors.
Kotoamatsukami of Shisui was clearly the first. Even if all previous attempts to persuade the Patriarch failed, he could always use Kotoamatsukami, who was guaranteed to succeed.
The second is Konoha's current state, which is complicated by the fact that no clan can defy Hokage's orders, therefore the clan must make the most of it.
The defeat of Sandaime-sama had a significant impact on his political influence, therefore the idea of the next Hokage election is in the minds of everyone. Of all the candidates the village currently had, Senju Tsunade was the most suitable in terms of status, reputation, fame, and ability.
And if the Hyuga Clan helps Tsunade-sama in a project that will greatly benefit Konoha, and if one of their clan members becomes the next Hokage disciple, the reputation and authority of the Clan will increase greatly.
As a result, Kuroto believed that Patriarch Hyuga would not dispute the topic.
Kuroto's brows were pinched and a glimmer of doubt flashed across his face as he approached the Hyuga clan complex and walked towards the Patriarch's residence. This was because he noticed that the gazes of the clan members strangely followed him.
The clan members were courteous and greeted him one by one with respect and admiration, as usual. It seemed that they all admired and respected him, and probably did, but upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that there was a trace of fear in their eyes as well, and as a result, it was easy to see that there was a trace of fear in their eyes as well, they all keep a safe distance from them.
'I wonder what the reason is....?' – Kuroto pondered. He did not seem to mind as there were no signs of hatred in their eyes, only worries. Fear triggered by hatred should not be taken lightly, but fear triggered by worry is a different story…
"I'm sure it was because of Asahi-sama's murder." – Kuroto muttered towards the end.
Hyuga Asahi was never arrested.
Kuroto is also considered a suspect because he expressed his displeasure with the Hyuga Clan's rigid attitude towards Gentle Fist, as well as some unnecessary rituals, just days before the murder.
Of course, nothing was confirmed, and since Hyuga Hiashi insisted that it was not Hyuga Kuroto, Kuroto had never been involved in the situation, but there was still displeasure.
Kuroto, understandably, did not care what others thought, and as a result, she was not interested in the situation.
Kuroto arrived at Patriarch Hyuga's residence after walking a long distance and was immediately greeted by one of the maids, who said, "Kuroto-sama, the Patriarch is waiting for you in his study, please follow me."
Kuroto currently holds a position in the Hyuga Clan second only to the Patriarch, the Elder, and Hizashi. As a result, the Patriarch was immediately informed of his visit so that none of them wasted any time.
Kuroto politely nodded and followed behind the servant.
Kuroto quickly arrived at the Patriarch's study after following the servant.
"I'm happy to see you return safely from Amegakure, Kuroto-kun," said the Patriarch, looking at Kuroto from top to bottom to check on her health, "Please sit down when you enter."
"Thank you for your concern Hiashi-sama." – Kuroto nodded and sat in front of the Patriarch in a traditional seiza position.
The waiter brewed tea for the two and passed the teacup as they sat still for a while.
Kuroto was the first to break the silence after the waiter excused himself, saying, "Yui told me about Himeji-sama."
"Everything should end one day or the other, the same goes for human life, I am just grateful that Himeji-san died peacefully with a smile, even during the last minutes of her life, he said, he touched the sleeping heads of our girls.", Hiashi commented after a short pause, "If he regrets, it is that he will not be able to see our daughter grow up, he said, but he had enough confidence in them to know that they would both grow to be strong. The Kunoichi that the Hyuga Clan can be proud of."
Kuroto nodded, and the room became quiet once again as the two people sat quietly.
Kuroto pondered the topic for a moment before replying, "I believe that Life itself has no meaning. Each of us has a meaning in our lives that we bring into it; the meaning we bring into our lives comes from our beliefs and ideologies, he said, which is shaped by our experience and knowledge, and our experience and knowledge comes from life itself."
"So you think life is an endless circle?" – Hiashi asked after interpreting Kuroto's words.
"Death is only the end of our body shape; our soul remains alive and may be reincarnated... So, of course, I believe in a never-ending life cycle." – Kuroto agrees with the nod.
"Hahaha.it's a really unusual idea... I'll think about it while thinking about other things." – Hiashi similarly stated with a nod, then added, "I'm really glad you've returned safely Kuroto-kun, and I would also like to congratulate you on your promotion to Commander of the Anbu Forces, and our appointment and Yui to Jonin will be decided by a vote from the Hyuga Clan. You won't be formally promoted while at Anbu, but you can be sure that you've become an unofficial Jonin, on the other hand, in a few days, Yui will be promoted to Jonin's rank."
Kuroto is important to Hyuga Hiashi because he is one of the pillars that can help the Hyuga Clan in the future. And this worry stems from the fact that the child has done a lot for the clan; even if unwittingly, the Clan has benefited from the efforts of Hyuga Kuroto, who is a member of the clan, it was therefore natural for him to worry about Kuroto as the Patriarch.
"I appreciate the gift," Kuroto said as she bowed.
"No need to worry," Hiashi said as he nodded. "Well, after that, what brought you here, Kuroto-kun?"
Kuroto nodded and firmly stated what he had discussed earlier with Tsunade.
Hiashi remained deafeningly silent after hearing all the data, especially Tsunade's plan to make Iryo-nin a requirement for every four-man squad.
"I understand that we can't go against Hokage-sama's orders, given the severity of the situation," Hiashi said after some thought, "but I would like to ask in person, instead, are the leaders of Akatsuki and Amatsukami really as strong as the rumors they made? out to be?"
"I'm afraid that no one in Konoha, or in any other village, is capable of fighting the two of them right now," Kuroto said solemnly, "Even if all the villages gathered their resources, they would face individuals who were gods.
The sword that could pierce through the clouds, and the other sword that could create a stone large enough to cover the horizon, were both strong enough to make Hachibi, Susanoo, and Jiraiya-sama and the giant Kuchiyose are completely useless.
When all we can hope for is to find a way to survive, such a power cannot be easily repelled, and Tsunade-sama's proposition does just that.
As a result, I believe that using this strategy is in the best interest of the village."
Hiashi was very calm at the meeting where the details of the attack were revealed; at first, he did not believe such a force existed, but after further consideration and listening to the evidence, he said, Hiashi had no choice but to believe.
Under such conditions, the future of the Hyuga Clan seemed bleak. What good is Soft Fist if even Susanoo Uchiha, known for his supreme protection and great strength, cannot do anything? True, the Byakugan can see the Chakra Path, but what good is it if you are not even strong enough to approach the enemy?
“Huh... I really hope Hokage-sama can find the right solution for village protection in this kind of situation.” –Hiashi said with a sigh, then nodded to Kuroto, “I will make a suggestion Tsunade-san at the next opportunity. meeting," and add, "Before that, I will discuss with Tsunade-san, and decide some things to better understand her proposal." You can rest easy knowing that Hyuga Yui's apprentice with Tsunade-san will I will support her studies under Tsunade-san's supervision because it is advantageous for the Hyuga Clan as well."
"I thank Hiashi-sama," Kuroto said as she bowed before the Patriarch.
"This is all I can do for the future of the Hyuga Clan" Hiashi said as he nodded.
Kuroto nodded and proceeded to explain some possibilities. Kuroto chose not to enter into the traditions of the Hyuga Clan and such for the time being. When the foolish old man realized the true face of this Shinobi World, their ideals would collapse. Kuroto doesn't have to spend his precious time with them.
