Chapter 5: The Clouds of War
"Ah, now that it's fully recovered, didn't the young patriarch and Hizashi go to the ninja school today, I remember that you should graduate next year."
At this point in time, Cangsi was still very surprised that the two brothers did not go to school, but practiced at home.
"Today, the whole school is on vacation, so we have nothing to do, so we stay at home with the day difference, and my father doesn't allow us to go out and walk around at will recently."
The two brothers had actually felt the strange atmosphere in the village recently, and their faces were full of uneasiness whether they were ninjas or civilians.
Even Konoha's garrison patrols until the early hours of the morning every day, and on the streets and rooftops, you can still see dark ninjas running by from time to time.
After listening to Hinata's words, Aoji was sure that this was Konoha already preparing for the ninja war that would come again.
On the other side, in the council hall of the Hyuga clan, the faces of the nine members of the clan were very solemn.
Because just now, the three generations of Hokage have already issued an order to prepare for war to each ninja clan, and the rest is for each ninja to notify the clansmen when they go back.
As for the Hyuga clan, the elders of the clan generally discuss the orders that come out of the Hokage Building, and then gather the representatives of the branch to make the final decision.
In the council hall, there are 3 members of the clan including Hinata Yunchuan, who are over half a hundred years old, and the remaining 6 people, including the patriarch, are still in the prime of life.
"The three generations of Hokage-sama and the Advisory Elders have asked each ninja to send at least one-third of their ninjas to prepare first, and if a war breaks out, each ninja must mobilize at least three-quarters of their ninjas to participate in the war. What do you think about this directive? ”
As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Rusuke immediately notified the clan elders of the family to come to the patriarch's mansion for a meeting after attending the high-level meeting of Konoha this morning.
"Hey, is there going to be a fight again, I don't know how many of our Hyuga clans will die on the battlefield this time."
This is the elder of the sixth vein of the clan who is the same generation as Hinata Yunchuan, because the next generation has no ninja talent, he can only continue to shine in the position of the elder, counting on the future grandchildren to be promising, if it is passed on to the next generation now, he can only be the rich second generation, and he does not expect his son to contribute to the family after inheriting the elder.
"Even if the war breaks out, our clan doesn't have to go directly to the front line, our own families will rush to the front for us."
This is the opinion of the second line elder, his father died in the first ninja war, although he has the talent of ninja, but he is only a middle ninja at present, and basically belongs to the category of staying in the sect and waiting for death.
"I agree with the Second Elder."
"Me too."
As the elders of the second vein finished their opinions, the elders of the fourth and eighth veins also expressed their agreement.
"I disagree! As a member of the clan, we should guide the separation, in recent years, our clan has basically not produced a powerful ninja, and if this continues, even if our clan can rely on the caged bird to control the separation, but in the eyes of other ninjas in Konoha, our clan has really become a useless person who eats and waits for death. I suggest that the members of the clan also be ready to fight at any time! ”
This is the advice of the Seventh Vein Elder who still retains the heart of a ninja.
"I agree with the opinion of the Seventh Elder."
The elders of the Fifth Line then expressed their opinions.
A heated debate ensued in the chamber.
"Let's be quiet."
Seeing several elders arguing, Hinata Rusuke, as the patriarch, could only come out to play a round.
Then, several of the elders who were arguing turned their gazes to the patriarch Hyuga, and then to the elders who had never expressed their opinions.
Because the remaining three elders who did not express their opinions were the oldest in the council hall, and they were also the most prestigious among the elders.
It was Cang Si who saw in the council hall just now, including his grandfather Hinata Yunchuan, three old men who were over half a hundred years old.
Their status must be respected even by the patriarch, after all, they belong to the elders.
Let's talk about it here, there is no so-called distinction between the status of several elders, and the status of the Great Elder and the Eighth Elder is the same, just to facilitate the distinction, so the ancestors of the original sect family were so decided.
"Great Elder, Third Elder, Sixth Elder, do you three have any opinions?"
Hinata Rusuke, who was the patriarch, asked on behalf of several other young elders.
"Since war is inevitable, then we Hyuga clan must face it in the best state, and we must not let the village and the enemy underestimate us."
"Our Hyuga clan is also a part of Konoha, what the six elders said is very right, since the three generations of Hokage-sama have already issued an order, then we can draw from the lower ninja, the middle ninja, and the upper ninja in proportion, and it is not advisable to steal and play tricks."
The six elders and Hinata Yunchuan expressed their opinions one after another.
"As for whether to send members of the clan to the battlefield, my suggestion is to participate in the war, but it is not sent at the beginning of the war, but in the later stage of the war, after all, as a member of the Hyuga clan, how can you not see blood, and you can also ensure the safety of the clan's white eyes in the later stage."
Finally, there is the advice of the Great Elders.
The three elders of the older generation seemed to look at each other with a clear heart, no matter how they said that they were all old men who had experienced the cruel first ninja world war together, and this vision was still there.
The three elders deserved to be the ones who lived longer, and the arrangement of the members of the clan completely calmed the conflict between the members of the two factions.
Going to the battlefield in the later stage can not only make the members of the clan who want to participate in the war get their wishes, but also allow the members of the clan who do not want to go to the battlefield in person to gild safely and get credit, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Okay, then after this meeting is over, we will arrange it according to the words of the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and the Sixth Elder, is there any point in you?"
For the claims of the three elders of the older generation, Hinata Rusuke, as the patriarch, is very satisfied, and it can even be said that there is no loophole at all.
Several elders in the council hall then exchanged a few more words in low voices, and finally the elders of the two factions unanimously agreed with this arrangement.
"Well, then the matter of arranging the preparation for the clan in advance will be handed over to the three elders."
In this regard, the patriarch Hinata Rusuke still trusts the three elders of the older generation more.
"Patriarch, I have a small proposal here."
When the meeting was about to end, Hinata Yunchuan said again to the patriarch Hinata Rusuke.
"Oh? What else do the three elders have in mind? Please speak up. ”
At this time, including the patriarch and several other elders, they all looked at Hinata Yunchuan, they really couldn't think of anything missing, so they all looked puzzled.
Hinata Yunchuan took a deep breath and said, "Patriarch, elders, my personal little suggestion is that if anyone in the clan takes the initiative to ask for battle, then it can be given priority, whether it is a clan or a split family. ”
After listening to Hinata Yunchuan's words, there was silence in the council hall, and no one expected Hinata Yunchuan to make this suggestion.
This suggestion cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad, it should be said that the pros and cons are mixed.
On the positive side, it can make the rest of Konoha see the aggressiveness of the entire Hyuga clan, especially if a member of the clan takes the initiative to apply to go to the battlefield, which can improve the morale of the members of the clan on the battlefield, and can also reduce the criticism of the Hyuga clan by other ninjas.
As for the disadvantages, I am afraid that those who take the initiative to apply for the clan Yelang will be arrogant, and the ugly point is that there is no AC number in my heart, and it may even lead to the disagreement of the original team and cause trouble to the teammates, so I am really not afraid of the fairy opponent, but I am afraid of the pig teammates.
In the end, after unanimous discussion, everyone agreed to Hinata's proposal.
Because no one raised objections, the Zong family, who originally didn't want to go to the battlefield, had no effect on them, and the Zong family who wanted to participate in the war supported this suggestion, and the two elders of the older generation also acquiesced in this proposal.
"Then let's do it, notify the representatives of the split family to have another meeting in the afternoon, and this matter will be settled."
Regarding this impending war, none of the clan patriarchs to the elders of the clan had considered the opinions of the split family, and for them, the split family only needed to accept the assignment.
Even a few of the more enlightened elders never put the division on an equal footing with them, and at most it was the greatest mercy to fight for a little welfare for them.
Maybe this habit has been ingrained in the blood of every member of the sect, they have never felt that there is anything wrong with this, and everything should not be taken for granted.
During the meeting between his grandfather Hinata Yunchuan and the patriarch and the clan elders, Hinata Soji has been asking the Hinata Hinata brothers about some of the rules and regulations of the ninja school.
After all, there is still a year to enter the ninja school, and it is always good to know some things about the school in advance.
And by the time they enter next year, the two Hinata brothers should be just the age to graduate from the ninja school.
Hinata Soji was born in Konoha 23, and the two Hinata Hinata brothers were born in Konoha 19, the difference between the two sides is 4 years old, in this era that has just ended about 20 years of the Warring States period, most of the students in the ninja school entered the ninja school at the age of 6 and graduated at the age of 10.
After the Third Ninja World War in the original book, the rules and regulations of the ninja school were changed to a 6-year education system, so most of the new generation of ninjas graduated from the ninja school at the age of 12.
The reason why there is a two-year education gap is because a lot of knowledge and ninjutsu of ninjas in this era are learned and practiced in war.
Because war can break out at any time, there is not so much childhood time to study, so many children are very precocious, and even at a young age, their hands are already covered with blood.
Since the establishment of the ninja village, the minimum age of ninjas on the battlefield has become higher and higher, you must know that there are records of 6-year-old children going to the battlefield during the Warring States period, and child labor is properly squeezed!
Ninjas in this period can live to 50 years old, which is already considered a high life, and there are too many dark wounds left on the body in the early days, and the sequelae will naturally break out when they are older.
After asking the Hinata brothers about the rules and regulations of the school, Hinata Soji proposed to join the brothers' training.
"Okay, but Cangsi, you have to do what you can, we are both 4 years older than you, and you may not be able to keep up with our training."
After thinking about it for a while, Hinata Hinata agreed, in his opinion, Cangji is only a little more than 5 years old, and he and his younger brother Hiza have been studying in the ninja school for 3 years, so it should be considered as a guide to Cangji.
As an elder brother and the young patriarch of the clan family, Hinata Hinata agreed, so of course Hinata Hinata Hinata who is a younger brother and a younger brother will not object.
What's more, Hinata Hinata Hinata originally had a lower status than the Hinata's Cangji of the sect, and he was not qualified to object.
"Cangji, you have to be optimistic next to you, I will fight with Hiza with white eyes and soft fists, and how much you can learn next to you depends on yourself."
After finishing speaking, the two brothers, Hinata Hinata and Hinata Hiza, both opened their eyes, and then their eyes turned blue-white, the green tendons around the eyes burst out, and black marks appeared in their pupils, and then they put on a soft fist starting pose at the same time.
In the eyes of others, if it weren't for the conspicuous caged bird mark on one of them's forehead, they would really think that someone was looking in the mirror.
Looking at this scene, Hinata Aoji also had a touch of seriousness in his eyes at this moment!
