Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly.
"Uchiha Nanaya, that kid, what is he doing here at this time?"
After a while, Nanaya walked into the compound of the Hyuga family and greeted Neji.
"Yo, Neji, it's been a while. Your strength has improved very quickly!"
"Master Nanaya, you're joking, it's not enough."
Seeing the appearance of Uchiha Nanaya, Hyuga Neji respectfully bowed to him.
Everyone looked at the interaction between the two, as if they were very familiar.
The elders of the Hyuga clan were murmuring among themselves.
"Is this the youngest advisor around the Fifth Hokage?"
"That's right, it's him. I heard that he's from the Uchiha clan."
"Damn it, why did he come here at this time?"
Others might not know the identity of Uchiha Nanaya, but Hyuga Hiashi, as the head of the Hyuga clan, was very clear.
After all, the Hyuga clan is one of the largest clans in Konoha, and he often deals with the high-level officials of Konoha.
In a meeting with Homura and Koharu, they mentioned him once.
Having Uchiha Nanaya as a consultant was just to reassure Tsunade and let her perform her duties as Hokage effectively.
And Uchiha Nanaya's position as a consultant was just a titular role.
In essence, he is just a Jōnin, not a senior Konoha official at all.
These things, Hyuga Hiashi knows.
Now he is just wondering why Uchiha Nanaya is here.
"Uchiha Nanaya, what are you doing at my Hyuga's house?"
Nanaya smiled lightly.
"Patriarch Hyuga, you're so majestic. Can't you even address me as an adult?"
The rest of the Hyuga clan looked concerned; their Hyuga clan was attached to Konoha.
The identity of Uchiha Nanaya as a consultant already belongs to the senior management of Konoha. In Konoha, in terms of status, Nanaya's identity is above Hyuga Hiashi.
They don't know that Nanaya's consultant position is more of a formal title, and they all turn to Hyuga Hiashi.
This time, in their eyes, it was Hyuga Hiashi's disrespect.
In Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, Uchiha Nanaya is just a kid, a junior, and a member of the Uchiha clan.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the head of his dignified clan to call Nanaya "adult"?
But with so many people watching right now, Hyuga Hiashi doesn't want to tear his face.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Advisor, what's the matter with our Hyuga clan?"
Calling him "advisor" not only shows respect from his Hyuga clan but also indicates that Hyuga Hiashi doesn't take it seriously at all.
This is a way of killing two birds with one stone, without losing the identity of Hyuga Hiashi.
Of course, Nanaya is purely trying to provoke Hyuga Hiashi.
Nanaya didn't care whether he was addressed formally or not.
"Oh, I really have something to do here today. Neji is already a Konoha Genin, so don't do anything to him."
What?
Everyone was a little surprised; Neji is already a Konoha Genin?
They didn't know.
The Hyuga clan can let their children practice in the clan instead of going to ninja school.
With strength and at a certain age, they will become a Genin.
Of course, you still need to take the Chūnin exam to become a Chūnin.
They can also let their clansmen go to ninja school to study, but going to ninja school is generally for those they consider less talented.
For example, Hyuga Hinata is studying at the ninja school, while her younger sister Hyuga Hanabi is practicing in the clan, so there is no need to go to the ninja school.
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Advisor, Hyuga Neji violated the rules of our Hyuga clan and removed the curse of our clan without permission. He will definitely be punished. I wonder what you mean by that?"
This Hyuga Hiashi also likes to play politics, but Nanaya has no time for such games.
"Patriarch Hyuga, to make it clear, you can't do anything to Hyuga Neji, and one more thing: people in the Hyuga branch family can't use the Curse Mark: Caged Bird for control in the future if they are not at fault."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the youngest advisor in front of them.
Especially those in the branch family who seemed to hear something they least imagined.
Standing behind him, Hyuga Matsuma looked at Uchiha Nanaya with admiration.
"My God, Master Nanaya would do such a thing."
He originally called Nanaya, a consultant, to save Neji, but he didn't expect Nanaya to come here, not only to save Neji but also the entire Hyuga branch family.
And the people of the main family were all stunned.
From the patriarch Hyuga Hiashi to all the elders, down to the ordinary clan members.
They were stunned for a second or two, then returned to normal.
Some even wanted to laugh.
"Who is this Hokage advisor?"
"I don't know, he seems very ambitious at a young age."
"Who sent this comedian, Hokage?"
These people wanted to laugh, and naturally, they had reasons for wanting to laugh.
Since Senju Hashirama founded Konoha Village and their Hyuga Clan joined, there has never been any high-level involvement in their Hyuga Clan's internal affairs.
In fact, Konoha Village was founded by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and the name Konoha was named after Madara.
But history is written by the victors.
They only knew of Senju Hashirama's great deeds and that Uchiha Madara was defeated by the First Hokage in the Valley of the End.
Others, almost nothing.
From Senju Hashirama, the god of ninjas, to the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, to Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Third Hokage Sarutobi clan, and the short-lived Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
No Hokage ever managed the internal affairs of the Hyugas, let alone the top advisors.
The Hyuga family is different from the Uchiha family.
The Uchiha family had people like Uchiha Madara, and the Second Hokage knew the Uchiha family and the Sharingan.
They would strengthen defenses against the Uchiha clan.
But for the Hyuga clan, they were stable in Konoha.
Since the First Hokage, the Hyuga family has been given a high degree of autonomy, and the top management of Konoha will not participate.
So from the First Hokage to the Fourth Generation, the Hyuga clan and branch family have never been interfered with.
And now suddenly there is a young outsider in front of them saying that he wants to manage Hyuga's clan affairs, it is impossible for people not to laugh.
And the other party is also from the Uchiha clan, which makes it even more amusing.
Wouldn't it be funny if someone from the Aburame family said they wanted to manage the affairs of the Nara family?
Are the affairs of our Nara clan under the control of your Aburame clan?
Likewise, the Hyuga clan is the same, even if Uchiha Nanaya has the status of an advisor.
Hyuga Hiashi sneered:
"Uchiha Nanaya, just now, I respected you and gave you face. You don't need to take the feathers as an arrow. We don't need outsiders to participate in the family affairs of our Hyuga family."
Nanaya also had a smile on his face as he replied: "Patriarch Hyuga, it seems that you don't take me as a consultant into consideration."
"Consultant? It's ridiculous. Others don't know it, but the patriarch of my dignified Hyuga clan does know it; it's just a nominal post."
"That means it's not negotiable?"
"Yes, there is no room for negotiation!"
