Chapter 698 Hope
Sungai tribe.
Led by Aoto, Hyuga Mitsunobu and Hyuga Souta slowly walked in.
The two of them have been listening to Qingdou recount the changes that have taken place over the years since they were resurrected in the afternoon until now, even into the evening.
Although they were all fairly intelligent people, it still took them some time to process all the information.
Looking at every plant and tree in the tribe, both of them felt a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness.
After all, both of them have been dead for several years.
Not only within their tribe, but even on the road, they felt as if they had entered a completely unfamiliar world.
Before their deaths, both Mitsunobu and Sota believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi would not be a match for Chiyo Uchiha.
But the fact that Uchiha Chiyo actually drove their entire clan out of Konoha was something they hadn't expected.
Furthermore, they were later wiped out, which made both Guangxin and Sota feel very gratified.
Unexpectedly, Chiyo, Orochimaru, and Tsunade developed the ability to revive the dead.
As we entered the clan's territory, a large number of branch families spontaneously came over.
"Lord Guangxin..."
"Lord Cang Tai..."
Everyone was bowing to the two pioneers.
"...Shio, Xiu Ming, Hitomi..."
"Yueyan...Hao..."
"Okay...okay..."
More and more familiar faces gathered around, and Guangxin couldn't help but say "good" to them.
Furthermore, there were many women in the clan, each with one or two young children.
This gave the entire Hyuga clan's territory a vibrant and thriving life force.
It was no longer the lifeless and desolate clan territory it was when the main family ruled Hyuga.
From Sota's perspective, although many familiar faces appeared, and many new faces filled the Hyuga clan's ranks.
But most of the people who followed him in the New Sprout Project died that day.
After all, his memories before his death were still of the day when Yuuto, Moto, and Shuji invited those clan elders to their deaths.
When he opened his eyes, he was all alone.
Although he knew that reviving his Hyuga clan was already an immense sacrifice, he couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if Hayato, Moto, and Shuji were still alive.
Surrounded by others, the group entered the conference room.
Upon welcoming the two back, their first priority was to hold a meeting.
The Hyuga clan currently does not have elders; those present in the meeting room are older clan members and Hyuga clan members who hold important positions in Konoha.
Everyone present was a branch family member who had been oppressed by the main family in the past, and they all had a good relationship with each other.
There was no strict distinction between superiors and subordinates, and the meetings were relatively less formal.
"Thank you all for your hard work for me and Sota."
After the meeting began, Hinata Mitsunobu led Sota in bowing to everyone to express their gratitude.
Reviving someone is obviously not a simple matter, even if Uchiha Chiyo could do it.
Hinata will also have to pay a heavy price.
"Lord Guangxin, please get up. This is what we should do."
"Yes, you endured humiliation for us and ultimately died because of the patriarch's schemes. We are merely carrying on your legacy."
"We're all family, there's no need for this."
Everyone told Guangxin that he didn't need to bow, and Guangxin took the opportunity to stand up.
"Qingdou has already told me what everyone means. The clan is developing very well now, and all of this is inseparable from the efforts of Qingdou and everyone else."
"I am not very clear about the situation in the ninja world right now, so it is not appropriate for me to take over the position of clan leader."
Guangxin already knows that Qingdou resurrected him and wants him to become the clan leader.
However, he was not greedy for power, and considering that he had just been resurrected and did not understand many things, he declined at this time.
Qingdou was immediately displeased when he heard Guangxin say that:
"Lord Guangxin, everything the clan has now is the result of your and Cangtai's hard work and struggle."
"You are the most suitable person to be the clan chief."
Guangxin gestured with his hand to signal everyone not to rush.
“The situation in the clan is very good now. Everyone can discuss things more often, so there’s no need to rush to replace the clan leader.”
"Let me learn more about the changes in the ninja world before we consider these things."
"Otherwise, I know nothing right now, and a wrong judgment could cause unnecessary losses to the clan."
Guangxin's words made some sense, so everyone stopped insisting at this point.
The meeting thus turned into a gathering for information exchange and reminiscing.
They chatted for hours, and it wasn't until late at night that everyone said their goodbyes and left.
Sota was with Mitsunobu when he was alive, and the two lived very close to each other.
While walking, Sōta said to Mitsunori, "Lord Mitsunori, actually, this spot should have been given to Lord Hizashi."
Guangxin turned his head and looked at Cangtai, who seemed somewhat dejected.
As the person who raised Souta from childhood, Koshin immediately guessed why Souta was like this.
"Sōta! Lift your head!"
Guangxin's serious tone sent a shiver down Sota's spine.
He suddenly stood up straight and raised his head.
“I know you care about Yuuto and the others, but everyone chose you for the resurrection, which means they recognize everything you’ve done.”
"I once said that Uchiha Chiyo and the others are not simple at all."
"Now that Lord Qianyao can revive the two of us, he can naturally revive others as well."
"Although our Hyuga clan cannot match the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan in terms of combat power."
"But we are also an integral part of Konoha."
"Based on the current development of Konoha and the attitudes of Lord Chiyo and Lord Minato towards the outside world."
"Conquering the ninja world is an inevitable process. We can use Hyuga's contributions to request the resurrection of others."
Guangxin was only revived for a few hours, yet it analyzed so much information it had gathered.
Sota's eyes lit up as he listened: "So, Yuuto and the others can also be resurrected?"
Guangxin sighed: "Although we will definitely have to pay a heavy price, it's not like there's no hope at all."
“You can’t be discouraged at times like this. You have to know that whether the hero and the others can be resurrected depends entirely on us.”
"Yes! Lord Guangxin, I understand!"
After Guangxin's suggestion, Sōta cheered up.
He wished he could immediately sacrifice his life for Qianyao so that all the other sacrificed people could be resurrected.
Guangxin patted Sota on the shoulder: "When our branch family was first oppressed by the main family, we were mostly able to survive thanks to the protection of Lord Hizashi."
"Besides, Lord Hizashi was the first person to be persecuted to death, so our primary consideration should be to revive Lord Hizashi first."
At this moment, Sota also started thinking and suggested:
"Many of the children adopted by Lord Qianyao were students in the first class of the elite program."
"Since it concerns Lord Hizashi, should we have Neji do it?"
Guangxin nodded slightly: "They graduated in the same class, so naturally they have some connection."
"Since Lord Chiyo is still the principal of the Ninja Academy, it would be best to have Neji ask for help to revive Hizashi."
