The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 85 Guangxin's Last Will and Testament

Chiyo, on the other hand, followed Elder Kiji to the Ninja Academy.

The Ninja Academy was also affected by the explosive tags; the roofs of two school buildings were blown off.

"Elder Qianyao, although I don't know what you're thinking, there's very little that needs to be done at the Ninja Academy."

As your company led Qianyao inside, you said:

"Both the teaching materials are fixed by the Hokage."

"The teachers are directly assigned by the Hokage, so there's nothing we can do about it."

At this time, some ninjas were already tidying up and organizing the school.

The school wasn't badly damaged, and the ninjas repaired it very quickly.

Classes should be able to resume in about two days.

As your company's principal walked inside, no one called him "principal."

They might even just call him Elder of Your Department.

This means that he, as the principal, really has no presence.

Qianyao followed the principal to the office, which was where all the teachers and he, the principal, rested.

There are sofas and desks inside, similar to the offices in Qianyao's original world.

Your company has a desk, but he doesn't come over very often.

A person was sitting on the sofa. Qianyao recognized him immediately.

Iruka.

His becoming Naruto's teacher was naturally arranged by the Third Hokage.

After all, if Naruto is to be trained into the person he wants, the role of teacher needs to be filled by a suitable person.

Iruka's parents were actually killed by Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

He still harbors hostility towards Naruto, but that will change over time.

Iruka will gradually discover that Naruto is also a victim.

Although he was part of the group monitoring Naruto, he genuinely cared for Naruto later on.

"Principal, what brings you here?"

After losing his parents, Iruka has mostly gotten used to living at school.

Even he hadn't seen your elders for a long time, which means your company really doesn't come around very often.

……

It happened during a meeting in Konoha.

Having been busy all night and into the morning, Hyuga Sota returned to the branch family's courtyard.

As he passed by Hyuga Mitsunobu's room, he noticed that people from the main family had arrived.

They are Hidetoshi Hyuga and Kenichi Hyuga, and they are rummaging through drawers and cabinets inside.

They look more like bandits than scouts.

"Sōta, come in!"

Kenichi searched for a long time but found nothing useful. When he saw Sota come in, he simply waved him in.

Sota walked to the door expressionlessly: "Kenichi, what do you want?"

Kenichi casually flipped through the book in his hand: "Where does Hinata Mitsunobu usually go?"

Sota looked at the mess in the room without much reaction, and simply said coldly:

"Hyuga Mitsunobu usually stays in this room or at the training ground."

Kenichi frowned: "Which tribesmen does he usually associate with?"

Sota's lips twitched involuntarily:

"He is an elder of our branch family, so naturally he is close to all the members of the branch family."

Seeing Sōta's indifferent attitude, Kenichi became extremely annoyed: "Is this how you treat the main family?!"

Cang Tai sneered and turned to leave.

"Damn it!" Kenichi's eyes were blazing with anger!

Hyuga Hideto, standing nearby, reached out to stop Kenichi, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Don't be impulsive."

Kenichi slapped Xiu Ren's hand away: "It's just a branch family, why are you stopping me?"

Hideto Hinata said:

"Have you forgotten what happened after the division of the family and Hizashi's death? It's such a sensitive time now, don't cause any trouble."

Kenichi curled his lip: "It's just a family split."

Even so, Kenichi didn't say anything more.

He glanced around the room:

"Let's go. There's no valuable information in Hyuga Mitsunobu's room. Let's report to the elders."

……

Hyuga Souta returned to his home.

Physical and mental exhaustion then surged in like a tide.

He grabbed his change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After filling the bathtub with water, Sōta leaned against the side.

His expression was somewhat empty and blank.

The Hyuga branch family rioted a few years ago when Hizashi died, resulting in many deaths.

After the family split up and adopted a policy of non-resistance, the main family no longer imposed a high-pressure policy on the split-up family.

However, none of the families had a leader after the division.

It wasn't until Hyuga Mitsunobu was promoted to elder that everyone stopped feeling so lost.

But now, Lord Guangxin is dead.

They didn't even leave him a single word.

Is there still hope after the family splits up?

"Splash..." The sound of water rang out. It turned out that while Sota was in a daze, the water in the bathtub had overflowed.

Sōta snapped out of his daze and suddenly noticed a bag floating above the bathtub.

He was startled and immediately took the bag out.

The mark on the bag is none other than Lord Guangxin's mark!

This is a protective mark, and only he knows how to unlock it. If anyone else tries to open it by force, it will only damage what's inside.

Sangtai quickly turned off the water, then opened the bag and poured out its contents.

There are three storage scrolls inside.

Sota opened the first one and took out a letter, which was left to him by Mitsunobu.

"...Souta, by the time you read this letter, I will already be gone."

"I have already reported this matter to the main family, but the main family has not reported it to Konoha."

"The main family is using Neji and your lives as leverage to force me to make a deal with the Uchiha clan regarding this matter."

"No matter what the outcome, the main family will not let me live."

"Rather than dying like Lord Hizashi, I would rather choose a more meaningful way to die."

"After I die, the main family will select a new branch family elder from among the people I have arranged."

"You are exceptionally talented, so don't fall into the trap, lest you become a scapegoat for the main family again."

"There is no hope of splitting up the family. The New Sprout Project is the only way to save the family from splitting up."

"Neji is still young. We need to pave the way for Neji before he comes of age."

"The second scroll contains the truth about Lord Hizashi's death. If there's a chance, give it to Neji."

"The third scroll contains the complete list of the New Sprout Project: Yuuto, Moto, and Shuji. Whoever becomes an elder will continue to preside over the project."

Sota took a deep breath and opened the second scroll.

It contains a detailed account of how the Third Hokage led his men to pressure the Hyuga clan.

And how did the head elder of the main family, Zong Zhao, force Hizashi to die in place of Hiashi?

As for the claim that daily labor is voluntary, that's just something the main family uses to intimidate people.

The main family holds the "bird in the cage," and Hiashi and Muneaki are already closing in.

Hizashi was forced to "voluntarily" die in Hizashi's place.

As for the excuse of leaking the white eye, that's utter nonsense. If it's a matter of life and death, then Japan should pay with its life, and just keep the white eye.

Under pressure from Elder Muneaki, Hijiri wrote a will stating that he had done so voluntarily.

It was all so that one day it could become a shackle that binds Neji.

After reading it, Sota once again felt the despicable and disgusting nature of the main family.

He opened the third scroll, which contained the arrangements for everyone in the New Sprout Project, his whole body trembling.

This includes several conditions under which the New Sprouts program can be implemented.

Who will be considered and included in the plan, and what their respective roles will be?

Most people had plans for dividing the family property, but he was the only one excluded from the plan.

The letter ended with only one sentence.

"Souta, you must live on."

Sōta leaned against the edge of the bathtub and slowly slid down.

He felt the care and love that Lord Guangxin had for him.

Sota's numb and cold expression finally shattered, and tears streamed down his face.

"Waaah... Lord Guangxin..."
