Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Chapter 1789 Presbyterian Church

The Cloud Clan has everything that the Hyuga Clan has, and even more.

"Sigh, this is really..."

Hiashi Hyuga didn't know what to do either.

Seeing this, Hyuga Gen said, "Clan leader, why don't you go directly to Lord Torifu?"

"Lord Tokifumi probably wouldn't like us beating around the bush like this. If you just state your request directly, Lord Tokifumi should respond."

Despite being the clan leader, Hiashi was not angry when a seemingly insignificant Chunin from his clan offered him a reminder; instead, he found it quite reasonable.

"Perhaps I really should make a trip to the Cloud Clan, but I don't know what Lord Qufeng is thinking."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Gen shook his head: "We'll only know the answer to this kind of thing if you go and see for yourself."

"Lord Qufeng's thoughts are hard to fathom. No amount of questioning or guessing can compare to Lord Qufeng's own answer, can it?"

Thus, Riji made up his mind: "Alright, thank you for the reminder, Brother Yuan. I'll go back and discuss this matter now."

After leaving Hyuga Gen's courtyard, Hiashi went straight back to his own courtyard and convened a meeting of elders.

The elders of the Hyuga clan, along with Hizashi, all came to the courtyard to attend this elders' meeting.

Recently, there has only been one matter in the family that has been on everyone's mind, so everyone basically knows why this meeting was held.

"Hiashi, just tell me straight, did you get anything useful from Hyuga Gen?"

Japan shook his head, and everyone felt a little disappointed, but he quickly nodded again.

This left all the elders completely bewildered: "Hiashi, what do you mean by this? Did you get it or not?"

Hiashi cleared his throat: "I did not receive a promise from Hyuga Gen that I could directly contact Lord Torifu."

"But one of his words woke me up: Our Hyuga clan is also a large clan, why do we need to go through a Chunin to arrange a meeting with Lord Torifu?"

"Why don't we just go directly to the Cloud Clan's territory and offer him some benefits, or our family's loyalty?"

The elders exchanged bewildered glances: "Is this really possible? Without someone acting as an intermediary, will Lord Qu Feng really agree to our request? After all, our interests aren't exactly tempting."

Hiashi spread his hands: "Then there's nothing we can do. Lord Torifu won't directly help the Hyuga clan just because of the face of a Chunin. You need to understand that."

Hizashi also agreed with his brother's words: "Brother is right. We shouldn't put all our hopes on Hyuga Gen. He was a key factor in making Lord Torifu take notice of our Konoha Village."

"But his mission is basically over, and the rest is up to us to do."

The elders looked at each other and communicated, and the room became incredibly lively, with some even arguing directly.

Hijika and Hijika watched from their seats, waiting to see if the elders could come up with a reasonable plan.

"Richie, this trip to the Cloud Clan's territory is a done deal. Even if the elders disagree, I will still go."

"We'll bring Neji along. If Lord Torifu takes a liking to him, he might bestow some good things upon him."

Upon hearing this, Hizashi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no! Brother, this won't do! No matter what, we have to bring Hinata. Neji is not even in the running."

Hiashi patted Hizashi on the shoulder: "Hinata's talent is far inferior to Neji's. She might just be the future head of the clan, so it's natural to take her out to broaden her horizons."

Hizashi wanted to refuse, but then he saw that Hizashi's expression was not good.

"Alright... then brother, please bring Hinata along too, otherwise she'll definitely face criticism within the clan later."

Hiashi was about to say something when he saw Hizashi kneel down on one knee: "If the clan leader doesn't agree, then I won't take Neji with me."

Hiashi sighed, "Alright, alright, then we'll take Hinata with us. But she's very introverted, so Neji will have to take care of her too."

Hizashi agreed and said he would take Neji with him to pay respects to Lord Torifu.

The elders' heated argument came to an end.

"Chief, we already have the answer."

Rizu nodded, indicating that the Grand Elder could speak.

The elder cleared his throat: "Our Hyuga clan is now large in number, and because we have abolished bad habits, the clan has a strong sense of cohesion, which is a thriving phenomenon."

"Even so, we still feel extremely powerless in the face of the other families' relentless pursuit."

"Therefore, we have decided to send our clan chief to pay a visit to Lord Qufeng and offer our clan's loyalty!"

The Hyuga clan has never shown loyalty to anyone over the years; they are ninjas, and anyone with money can hire them.

His approach changed after joining Konoha, but he remained loyal to the entire village, not to any particular Hokage.

But things are different now. If they are to pledge their loyalty to Qu Feng, then they are completely subordinate to Qu Feng's family.

Upon hearing this news, Rizu felt very good. It seemed that these elders were not too old-fashioned and could see the true nature of the family now.

Despite the seemingly prosperous family background, signs of decline have begun to slowly emerge.

It's extremely difficult for the Hyuga clan to produce a truly exceptional ninja.

Neji is a genius that the clan has been waiting for for a long time. If he grows up, the clan will have even greater value in the future.

So taking Neji to see Lord Torifu this time is also a way of taking out a loan, to see if Lord Torifu will bestow some treasures to enhance our strength.

The chakra of that Hyuga Genji kid suddenly surged a few days ago, and his strength also improved a lot. It's probably because Lord Torifu gave him something as a reward for his bravery this time.

"Do all the elders think so?"

The Japanese football team scanned the entire field, and the elders nodded in agreement, confirming their own thoughts.

"Very well, let's find an auspicious day. Rizashi and I will travel to the Cloud Clan to pay our respects to Lord Qufeng and offer our clan's loyalty."

The elders rose at this moment and bowed, saying, "The clan leader is wise."

Thus, the council of elders came to an end, achieving a very satisfactory result.

The patriarch and elders were surprisingly in agreement, indicating that everyone had realized the problems within the clan.

Hiashi and Hizashi stayed behind, exchanged a glance, and both saw the weariness in each other's eyes.

"Get ready, get ready properly, and make sure both children get ready too."

After a moment of silence, Risa nodded in agreement.
