Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

At this time, Elder Fukiage tried to prop himself and roared fiercely, “What on earth are all of you doing? Neutralize him, Hyuga Kuroto is rebelling against the Hyuga Clan, he must be punished immediately!”

However, there was no movement, the only response he got was silence from all the branch members who completely disregarded his order, and looking closely, he noted joy and relief in the eyes of many as if they were happy to see whatever Kuroto does.

“You all?!” Seeing everyone’s reaction, Elder Fukiage was taken aback.

For the first time in his life Fukiage realized that if not for the fear of Cage Bird Cursed Seal, none of the members of the branch family would follow the orders of the main family, such resentment has accumulated in their hearts.

At the same time, the seed of fear sprouted in his heart, ‘What would happen if the entire branch family really initiated a coup d’état?’

If what Fukiage feared really happened, then even if the Cage Bird Cursed Seal could control the life and death of the branch family members, it would be useless, and the main family wouldn’t have any power to resist the branch family!

Perhaps Hiashi also realized the seriousness of the matter, and finally said, “Kuroto-kun… I think it would be best to stop here… This matter, if it continues to escalate, would cause irreparable damage to the entire Hyuga Clan… which is something I believe both of us don’t want to see… right?”

Kuroto snorted, “As you wish Patriarch-sama…” then removed his foot from the top of Elder Aoyama’s head, and said, “I just wanted to let some old men know that they aren’t invulnerable… so it would be best that they stay within their limits, and try not to step out because if they try to annoy me, then I won’t stay in my limit, and that would be very bad for the ‘entire’ Hyuga Clan…”

The three elders were ashamed and angry when they heard Kuroto’s words, if eyes could kill, they would have already killed Kuroto countless times.

Not caring about their murderous intention, Kuroto turned around and walked towards the exit of the hall, “Unlike some worthless old men who have nothing better to do in their life, there are a lot of things I have to take care of, so I will be leaving.”

As Kuroto left the hall, Elder Aoyama finally got up and hysterically shouted, “Hyuga Kuroto… don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the protection of Hokage, that protection can be taken away in a moment!”

In the eyes of Elder Aoyama, the only reason Hyuga Kuroto dared to jump around so much in front of them is that he is part of the Hokage Faction, and Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to favor him. But if that protection is taken away, then Kuroto would be nothing more than a Jonin!

Hearing Elder Aoyama’s shout, Kuroto stopped and shook his head with a sigh, “Sigh.”

What Elder Aoyama doesn’t know is that the only reason Kuroto dares to do whatever he wants is that he has the power to do so… not only personal strength but even political strength and influence.

Elder Aoyama roared, “Branch family exists to protect the clan… this is tradition… and the way Hyuga Clan exists!”

“Only the weak ones need protection… the strong ones don’t, they are the ones who provide protection,” said Kuroto indifferently, then disappeared from the hall.

Looking at Kuroto’s disappearing back, the three elders looked at each other and saw similar emotions reflecting in each other’s eyes.

A trace of fear was clearly visible in all of their eyes, not afraid of Kuroto’s strength, but of Kuroto’s reaction.

Even after he humiliated them in front of so many members of the branch family, there was no trace of a sense of accomplishment or triumph on Kuroto’s face, it was as if whatever happened was nothing surprising.

What’s more troubling is the indifference Kuroto showed towards them the entire time!

Angry, the three elders looked at Hiashi and questioned, “Hiashi… why didn’t you activate the Cursed seal to punish that ungrateful bastard!”

“Sigh… I don’t know.” Said Hiashi, and added, “Just forget it!”

“Forget it?!” Elder Aoyama raised his voice, and spoke angrily, “How do you expect me to forget all of this? The majesty of the main family has been trampled by someone from the branch family! Am I supposed to sit back and do nothing?!”

“So… what do you expect me to do now? Punish him the same way it was done with the last one. Ever thought of Sandaime-sama’s response? Not just Hokage-sama, there are a lot of people in the village who wouldn’t let the matter slide… And have you thought of what other clans and villagers will think of us? If he is touched, then the entire Hyuga Clan will be affected… and I don’t want that…!” after saying these words, Hiashi got up and left.

Hiashi didn’t worry too much about the elders. He had known them for too long, and he could see that they really don’t have the courage to do anything against Kuruto, thinking of this, Hiashi thought of himself, and chuckled, “Who am I kidding… let alone them, even I don’t seem to have the determination to do anything to him… Maybe Kuroto-kun is correct… the people of the main family really don’t have enough courage.”

With such thoughts, Hiashi noted his elder daughter Hinata training in the courtyard of the mansion. Looking at his daughter, Hiashi couldn’t help but think of his daughter’s performance in the assessment.

Despite being less than ten years old, Hinata had the courage to pounce at a member of the Akatsuki Organization without any trace of hesitation while being fully aware of their threat, and couldn’t help but think, ‘It seems my judgment about our daughter was incorrect… Hinata is not weak or mediocre… when fighting for the people she cares about… Hinata shows no signs of hesitation. I might need to reconsider my decision.’

A few days later, Konoha Ninja Academy

Seeing Naruto being the center of all attention, Sasuke felt strange and left out.

Normally it would be him surrounded by people. At that time, Sasuke didn’t like all that attention and felt annoyed, but now he feels a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Neji approached Sasuke, and asked, “What are doing here all alone?”

Sasuke folded his hands over his chest, and said, “I am tired of hearing Naruto’s bragging.”

Neji said, “He does deserve this honor.”

Sasuke said with a pout, “But much of what he is speaking didn’t even happen!”

Neji chuckled, “I guess that’s true, but we should let him be.”

Sasuke shook his head, “Whatever…”

At this time, Neji asked, “Want to have a duel…?”

Sasuke shook his head, “Not today.” Then got up to leave.

Surprised at Sasuke not accepting the challenge, and seeing him go home, Neji asked, “You are going back home so early? Are you going to skip today’s training?”

While walking towards the gate of the Ninja Academy, Sasuke said, “Yeah… I won’t be training today… I have to go somewhere… I am going to go to the Nekoshou domain to choose a summon. See you later Neji…”
