Chapter 268 Each with their own thoughts
Chapter 268 Each with their own thoughts
Hyuga clan.
Zongjia Compound.
"What was Cangtai's reaction?" Zongzhao asked.
After thinking for a moment, Hiashi shook his head and said, "Sōta has no reaction to this."
Zong Zhao nodded slowly: "The impact of this matter will not become apparent for more than ten years."
"They naturally can't perceive any difference now."
Hiashi, however, had a different opinion: "If Hinata or Hanabi were to marry out of the country, then this problem wouldn't exist."
Zong Zhao pondered for a moment: "You mean Hinata's two teammates?"
Japanese foot nodded and said:
"Sasuke is from the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan is currently at its zenith. The future Fifth Hokage will most likely fall into the hands of Senyo."
"The other Naruto Uzumaki is also a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, regardless of whether Hinata is on good terms with any of them."
"It's not a bad thing for us Hyuga."
Zong Zhao also agreed with this statement.
It's a fact that the Hinata clan is currently on a downward trend.
In ancient families like theirs, using marriage alliances to maintain the family line is perfectly normal.
Although Hinata is still young, since Uchiha Chiyo assigned Hinata to Class 1, he probably had this in mind.
"Hinata has grown quite well over the years, so you should pay more attention to her."
As the most snobbish of the elders, Zong Zhao was naturally not acting out of kindness.
Rather, Hinata now has investment value, so it's perfectly normal for Hiashi to try and build a relationship with her.
"Hmm..." Hiashi hadn't really paid much attention to Hinata in the past two years, let alone personally coached her.
Japan hadn't paid much attention to it before.
Seeing that Hinata was completely different from before, he had some thoughts in his mind.
"Then let's give her some special training recently."
……
The Hokage's office.
"Lord Hokage, the people from Sunagakure have come to report that the Akatsuki have accepted the mission."
"They have a way to separate Jinchuriki from Tailed Beasts, so they are not afraid of offending the Uchiha."
At the Third Hokage's desk, an ANBU member brought over intelligence from the Sand Village.
"They just need Gaara to be out and provide information before they can make a move."
The third generation waved his hand: "I understand, you can go now."
"Yes!"
After the Anbu disappeared, Shi Zhou, who was in the shadows, spoke up: "It seems that the Akatsuki and the Uchiha clan don't have a deep relationship."
The Third Hokage was not unexpected:
"It's just an exchange of benefits, but for us, it's actually a good thing."
"At least there's the Akatsuki organization that I can use as a weapon."
Shi Zhou pondered, "Gaara has always been personally supervised by Chiyo, so it's probably difficult for the Akatsuki to make a move against him."
The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette: "We spent so much money, so naturally we should make them take more responsibility."
He pondered for a while, then slowly exhaled his smoke: "You should also keep an eye on this matter, and it would be best to find out what Master Chankong is really up to."
You should know that in the ninja world right now, besides the Uchiha clan, there is only one person who openly claims to be able to deal with a Jinchuriki.
If this mission succeeds, the Third Hokage might be able to turn the tide.
Shi Zhou had no objection; he thought so too.
"You should contact the Akatsuki organization first. If they can't even lure away Chiyo's people, this plan will be difficult to succeed."
"I see."
……
Uchiha clan.
The one who entrusted the task to the Akatsuki was naturally Chiyo.
Since Sunagakure likes the One-Tailed Beast so much, Senyo certainly doesn't have to keep it.
He can both make money and lay the groundwork for his future plans.
Now we need to figure out how to send Gaara out on missions in a reasonable way.
"Senior, someone from the Hyuga clan has come to say that Hinata will be undergoing special training with Hiashi recently and will not be able to go on missions for the time being."
As the teacher in charge of Class 1, Hinata would naturally report to Itachi if she needed to ask for leave.
"Hinata's special training?"
Chiyo asked in confusion, "In the original timeline, Hiashi didn't give Hinata any special training at all; he completely ignored his daughter."
Because of her defeat in the battle against Hanabi, Hinata was basically considered dead.
It seems that Hinata's changes over the past two years have made Hiashi realize that his daughter actually has quite a bit of talent.
"That's perfect. We can put Gaara in Class 1 now and let him take Hinata's place."
"But this mission..."
"Show me the mission log," Qianyao instructed Itachi.
He is an advisor elder, holding the power to prioritize the selection of tasks.
These things are compiled into a booklet and given to Qianyao every day.
However, Qianyao has already distributed all these tasks.
After all, he himself doesn't need these tasks.
He picked up the task book and flipped through it, but there were no tasks suitable for the three of them.
However, this isn't a problem. You can simply create a custom task and lure the team out:
"Use a transformation spell to go on the next escort mission. Set the mission to Rank B and select Daming Prefecture as the escort destination..."
Qianyao explained everything to Itachi in detail.
"Understood, senior, I'll take care of it right away."
Itachi acted swiftly and decisively, immediately getting to work on the matter.
Qianyao clenched his fists; it was time for Master Chankong to make his appearance again.
……
The next day.
At the entrance to the Uchiha clan's territory.
Sasuke and Naruto arrived here to meet.
"Naruto, this is our first solo mission, so don't hold us back."
Sasuke's face was full of eagerness.
In his previous missions, he had learned all the necessary skills and absorbed all the necessary experience.
Sasuke, like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, naturally wanted to grow up quickly and stand on his own.
Naruto rubbed his nose: "Hmph, you arrogant Sasuke, I won't hold you back. You're the one who should stop trying to be strong."
He looked around and said, "Why hasn't Hinata arrived yet? She's always early."
Sasuke leaned against the wall with his arms crossed: "Let's wait, after all, it's not time yet."
Not long after, Hinata didn't arrive, but Chiyo came out with Gaara instead.
"Master, what brings you here?" Sasuke asked curiously.
“Principal!” Naruto knew that Chiyo had done a lot for him, so he was very grateful to Chiyo.
Qianyao waved to him, indicating that he had seen it.
"Gaara!" Seeing Gaara beside him, Naruto also began to wave his arms enthusiastically, as if afraid that Gaara might be blind and unable to see.
Gaara smiled when he saw Naruto.
"Naruto, Sasuke."
"Hey! What brings you here?" Naruto immediately abandoned Sasuke and walked towards Gaara.
Seeing Naruto's enthusiasm, Sasuke secretly rolled his eyes.
When Gaara greeted him, he gave a perfunctory "hmm."
At this moment, Qianyao walked up to them and said, "Itachi had another mission and forgot to tell you."
"Hinata will be doing special training at home for the time being, so she won't be going on missions with you for the time being."
"It just so happens that Gaara is in Class 5, and I was able to transfer him out, so I had him go with you on this mission."
