Chapter 186: The Sunshine Hidden at the Bottom of the Lake (Part I)
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Lake Biwa-sama, Kaguya-sama, and Hyakka-sama are here."
Kaguya stood at the door and observed the two-storey small western-style building in front of him, its appearance was small and exquisite, different from most of the cylindrical buildings with round roofs in the village, this is a typical modern design building, just like other buildings in this family have obvious style distinctions from the outside world, Kaguya thought that it seems that it is not only the modernization of science and technology, but also the architectural culture is much more advanced.
Now Kaguya somewhat understands why during the four wars, the Ape Fei clan was able to become the main force of the Konoha Legion, the so-called Taoguang Yanghui, and the edge is introverted. The Sarufei family should have learned the lesson of the Uchiha and knew that Mu Xiu would destroy it in the forest wind, so he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to compete for the wealthy family and willingly hid it.
And in fact, they did the right thing, if it weren't for the extermination of the Uchiha clan in the later period, the Hyuga family would not be able to stand up to the ridge beam of the wealthy family, and the Sarufei family would probably continue to hide.
"Let them in."
A moment later, a slightly vicissitudes of female voice came from inside the house, and Kaguya and Baihua walked into the house, while Sarutobi and Sama Suke had no intention of following up.
When Kaguya walked inside, he found that the furnishings were exactly as expected, with a simple iron chandelier overhead, Japanese tatami mats underneath, and the furnishings and furniture in the room were no different from those of an ordinary Japanese home. Sofas, coffee tables, and futons, although the appearance looks very modern, but the facilities inside are still retro, but it is a pity that the appearance of exquisite foreign style.
Under the brighter light in the living room, there was an old man sitting on a futon, Kaguya concentrated and retracted his superfluous thoughts.
At this moment he looked by the light at the old woman with a protruding temperament, dressed in plain clothes, full of pale hair but meticulously combed, and bound with a wooden hairpin at the back of her head. The years have left traces on her face, but they can't hide the eyes full of light and the aura of calmness, even in front of Kaguya and Baihua, she still maintains that good aura.
Kaguya looked at the old man in front of him and immediately understood that she was Lake Biwa, and at the same time swept every corner of the room with the corner of his eye, and on a faint screen somewhere, he saw the family emblem that once belonged to the Thousand Hands clan. Kaguya's eyes immediately became calm, and the family crest of the Thousand Hands clan ...... Although there have been rumors before, it seems that this is the case now.
"Lake Biwa-sama, I'm Kaguya when we meet for the first time."
Kaguya walked slowly to Lake Biwa and bowed slightly in polite greetings. This is completely different from the feeling of being aggressive when he first came in, at this time Kaguya seems to have returned to his old attitude, being polite to everyone but never really getting close to anyone, only those who have a good impression and recognition in their hearts will reveal a trace of true feelings.
Kaguya is not very familiar with Lake Biwa, but he knows that she is also a high-level figure with a lot of means. In addition, the Senju clan emblem behind her should be her origin before marrying into the Sarufei clan, which can be traced back to the policy of disbanding the Senju clan in the early days of the second generation and allowing the Senju clan to be completely integrated into the village, and Lake Biwa must have left Senju at that time and changed his name and surname to become Sarufei Biwako.
Otherwise, in terms of status alone, the people of the Sarufei clan are not qualified to let the people of the Senju family change their surnames, even if there is a tradition of changing the husband's surname in modern Japan, but if the social status of the woman's family is higher, you can ignore this rule, and even force the husband to change the surname, which is the so-called son-in-law.
Kaguya saw the Thousand Hands Badge behind Lake Biwa, and coupled with the information that circulated in the early years, he could basically judge that Lake Biwa must have been born from a wealthy Thousand Hands, which was a behemoth that was a leader in terms of orthodox performance stabilizing Uchiha, even if it was disbanded today, but its status among the villagers was not shaken in the slightest, so there was nothing wrong with staying modest here.
In addition, Lake Biwa was the closest person to Uzumaki Mito in her early years, so her status in the Senju family should not be low, after all, the close relatives who can contact Mito are only the Senju lineage, and it is precisely because she was in contact with Uzumaki Mito in her early years that she was familiar with the sealing method of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, so she was able to deliver Kushina herself during the four generations period, and she knew very well what difficulties the Nine-Tails would encounter in the production process.
That's it
Her relationship with Uzumaki Mito must have been very close, and even Kaguya wondered if Lake Biwa had anything to do with the Uzumaki clan as well, after all, Senju and the Uzumaki clan had a decades-long tradition of kinship.
But the age is too old, Kaguya can't verify it, but no matter what, it proves that the old man in front of her is not from an ordinary background, and her back is likely to represent the will of several characters and big families at the same time, among which Kazuya should be the most involved in Tsunade, and in addition to the thousand hands hidden in the village.
So whether it's out of concern for the Senju clan, or emotional appeasement to Tsunade, or to the monkeys who are hiding their emotions outside the house, Kaguya's attitude is very restrained and modest.
Lake Biwa Oki Kazuya and Baihua nodded slightly, a kind smile on their faces.
"Now that you are the big people in the village, you don't need to be so polite to an old woman like me, please feel free to sit down."
Baihua looked at Kaguya, who nodded and motioned for her to take it easy. He knew that it was the breath of those stupid monkeys outside that made Baihua a little irritable, so Kaguya took Baihua's hand and pulled her to sit beside him to signal him not to be impatient, after all, the old man in front of him was not an object that could be held hostage with violence, unless Kaguya fought the risk of pulling out even a thousand hands, but it was not worth it.
「…… I'm Hinata, I'm meeting you for the first time, Biwako-sama."
Baihua frowned at first, but out of trust in Kaguya, she bowed to the etiquette of the Biwako juniors, and waited until the other party nodded and smiled at her before slowly sitting down next to Kaguya.
Lake Biwa looked at the sharp and restrained Kaguya in front of him, and then at Baihua, who was slightly restless and murderous, and suddenly smiled and said, "When people are old, it is easy to miss the past, looking at the two of you, it is really a copy of me and Miyome when I was young. It's just that at that time, I was the one who appeased, and the three generations were like real monkeys, and they were all restless and restless when they got there."
After that, Biwako said to Baihua with complicated eyes, and said to Baihua with a sigh of emotion in his tone: "I didn't expect that the genius girl from Hinata's family is now also reborn. Not only did he break free from the shackles, but he also broke the centuries-old curse of the Hyuga family, and from now on there will be no difference between the clan and the division of the Hyuga family, but at the same time, I hope you can treat your family well, after all, you will be the leader of the Hyuga family in the future."
Baihua was stunned, and then realized that this was Biwako implying that she was acknowledging her identity as a leader, although it was said that no one in the Hyuga family could take the lead except herself, but being recognized by everyone and other families was also an important reference indicator for leaders, otherwise Kaguya would not have bothered to let the Uchiha go the right way.
And although Lake Biwa seems to be only half of the leader of the Sarufei clan, but in fact her influence is too great, aside from the thousand hands behind her, the whirlpool, and the Sarufei family, the identity of the third generation wife alone is enough to prove that her political status cannot be low to that level, in a sense, she is one of the high-level hidden by Konoha.
She admits that Hyugata Baihua is the orthodox leader of the Hyuga family, and in a sense, it is the embodiment of the will of the Konoha leadership. Correspondingly, if Lake Biwa is also willing to admit the Uchiha clan's contribution to the village, and nod and agree to promote Yueyong to become the fourth generation Hokage, with her influence, all the families in the village, including the dark department, will definitely have nothing to say, that is, the people at the bottom are not very familiar with her, and they may need Uchiha to give some blood to calm the people's grievances.
