—————————————————————————————————————————

In Konoha Village, an explosive piece of news spread like wildfire, traveling through the entire village at an astonishing speed.

"Let me tell you a secret. Kakashi Hatake, the son of Lord White Fang, got beaten!"

"What? Kakashi, the all - time super genius, got beaten?"

"It's true. Many people saw it. Kakashi even ended up crying!"

"Hey! Have you heard? Kakashi was beaten until he cried!"

"Whoa! It's really true!"

"Let me tell you a secret. Kakashi was beaten until he cried and rolled on the ground!"

"Huh? Don't they say that Kakashi just lay down before even being hit? And then cried and begged Satoru Hyūga not to hit him?"

The next day, as soon as Satoru Hyūga stepped out of his door.

He heard the rumors and gossips everywhere on the street, and his face instantly turned green.

"How did the rumors get so out of hand?"

What did they mean by saying Kakashi was beaten until he cried by me? He cried on his own. What does that have to do with me? And kneeling down begging for mercy, soiling oneself... What nonsense is all this!

The key thing was that most of the people spreading the rumors were actually members of the Hyūga Clan's branch family.

Walking on the streets of the clan territory, he could see many groups of clansmen excitedly discussing topics like "the number one genius of the new generation", "beating Kakashi and making him cry", and "even the Uchiha Clan submitting".

Satoru Hyūga walked with his head down and tiptoed, fearing being noticed by others. Suddenly, he heard a hubbub from behind.

"Look, it's that genius who beat Kakashi and made him cry."

In an instant, all the clansmen's gazes were fixed on him.

"No, I'm not!"

Satoru Hyūga's face darkened, and he immediately quickened his pace and slipped away, leaving behind a group of clansmen with question marks on their faces.

Unlike the noisy activity of the branch family outside, the main hall was completely silent. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and most of the main family elders didn't look too happy.

Mizuki Hyūga's eyes swept over the faces of the surrounding elders, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

The Hyūga Clan has been able to survive in the ninja world for over a thousand years and become the oldest family in history by relying on rules and regulations.

But now, there was a clansman who repeatedly broke the family's rules.

Satoru Hyūga, the first person with double Kekkei Genkai in Hyūga history, seemed to have never been well - behaved since he showed up.

"Humph! Have these branch family members even forgotten the rules?"

A main family elder's face flushed with anger as he slapped the table indignantly.

From yesterday until now, he had seen a large number of branch family members gathering together, ignoring etiquette, and shouting excitedly. He could even see many such situations outside the family.

"The branch family has completely shamed the family honor."

Another main family elder shook his head.

Next to Mizuki Hyūga, Hiashi Hyūga let out a soft sigh. He knew that the branch family had been suppressed for too long. After Satoru Hyūga defeated Kakashi, that suppression had turned into excitement and exhilaration.

It's just that the Hyūga Clan isn't the Uchiha Clan. In the Hyūga Clan, one has to follow the rules.

"Alright."

Mizuki Hyūga let out a sigh, feeling a headache coming.

Although the incident was triggered by Satoru Hyūga, it would be rather unreasonable to punish him for it. After all, he defeated Kakashi, which brought honor to the family.

But if they really ignored it, I'm afraid those branch family members would run wild.

In addition, the Hokage's attitude towards Satoru Hyūga was rather intriguing, and this influence had to be taken into consideration. With all these factors combined, it really made him hesitate.

Just then, Hiashi Hyūga beside him suddenly said, "Clan leader, leave this matter to me to handle."

"Oh? Do you have any plans?"

Mizuki Hyūga couldn't help but be intrigued. Hiashi was almost the next heir he had designated. Different from his good-for-nothing younger brother, Hiashi is far more outstanding in every aspect.

Hiashi Hyūga smiled and said, "The reason this matter is complicated is that Satoru Hyūga is just an ordinary member of the branch family. It's not right to reward him, nor is it right to punish him. Since that's the case, let's give him another identity."

Then, Hiashi Hyūga elaborated on his idea slowly.

Mizuki Hyūga's eyes gradually lit up.

"Good, leave it to you to handle!"

Satoru Hyūga, who had just slipped back from the street, still had a very fast heartbeat. Almost all the way, he could hear discussions about himself.

The key thing was that few of these discussions were reliable.

Even some of the aunts in the family had taken a fancy to him and were eager to introduce their granddaughters to him. Scared, Satoru Hyūga ran away at full speed. Even now, he was still covered in cold sweat.

"So scary. I'd better not go out these days."

Satoru Hyūga patted his chest, still shaken up.

Just as he was about to rest, he heard a knock on the door outside.

Satoru Hyūga immediately became alert. He tiptoed to the back of the door and carefully aligned his eyes with the gap between the door frame.

"Secret signal!"

Secret signal???

The person outside the door was left stunned. Why on earth would he need a secret signal to pay a visit? What secret signal was that?

Just then, the door opened, making him breathe the slightest sigh of relief.

The person who came was no stranger to Satoru Hyūga. The two most famous brothers in the family looked almost identical, and there wasn't much difference in their clothing either. The only difference was that one of them always wore a Forehead Protector on his forehead.

"Lord Hidetsu Hyūga, why did you come?"

Satoru Hyūga carefully observed the surroundings to make sure no other Hyūga members had followed.

"Satoru, can I come in and talk?"

There were two cups of tea on the wooden table, gently steaming. Judging from the quality of the tea leaves, it wasn't a precious variety.

"Lord Hidetsu Hyūga, I don't usually have the habit of drinking tea, so I can only entertain you with this second-rate tea."

"It doesn't matter." Hidetsu Hyūga smiled and picked up the tea cup to take a sip.

The Hyūga family has a tea-tasting culture. If someone serves tea, it's polite to take a sip.

After the polite exchanges, Hidetsu Hyūga looked at Satoru Hyūga, whose face was still a bit immature, and his expression couldn't help but become complicated.

"I previously guessed that you would be a variable in the family, but I didn't expect this variable to grow up so quickly.

」

The genius who has surpassed Kakashi, the number one of the new generation. Just whispering these titles in his heart makes Hidetsu Hyūga's heart throb with excitement.

There is no doubt that Satoru Hyūga is the most outstanding genius of the Hyūga clan ever since the establishment of Konoha!

「I think a genius like you would never be willing to be shackled.」

Hidetsu Hyūga looked at Satoru Hyūga with a complicated expression.

Satoru Hyūga remained silent. The implication of this sentence was too weighty. If the main family heard it, there would surely be a lot of trouble.

Seeing that Satoru Hyūga didn't say anything, Hidetsu sighed and took out a Scroll from his bosom and placed it on the table.

「What is this?」

「Just open it and you'll know.」

Satoru Hyūga opened the Scroll and inserted a wisp of chakra. His face immediately showed surprise.

What was stored in the Scroll was extremely lavish. It was definitely the most valuable thing he had ever seen. In one corner, there was a huge amount of cash. Satoru Hyūga roughly estimated that there was at least five million ryo.

On the other side, there were a large number of secret techniques related to cultivation, and some were even secret techniques that were not passed down within the family.

The cash was manageable, but the latter involved the family's secret techniques. If the main family found out, Hidetsu Hyūga would definitely be severely punished.

「Why?」 Satoru Hyūga asked in a deep voice.

Hidetsu Hyūga smiled helplessly: 「Just consider it an investment.」

Then, he stood up and walked towards the door.

「I really hope that you, this variable, can stir up a storm and make the decaying ancient tree of the Hyūga clan regain its vitality.」

Satoru Hyūga stared silently at his back. It was more of a stance, a show of support, rather than an investment.

Did he know that I would never be willing to be imprisoned by the caged bird and planned to resist alongside me?

Had Hidetsu Hyūga, who finally recognized his fate and committed suicide in the original work, changed the original trajectory under my influence?

Satoru Hyūga carefully put away the Scroll. Hidetsu Hyūga's support would be of great help to his cultivation.

About half an hour later, there was another knock on the door.

Satoru Hyūga opened the door and when he saw that familiar face, he almost blurted out subconsciously.

「Lord Hidetsu, why did you come again...」

His voice stopped abruptly.

The other person's forehead was perfectly smooth, and the expression on his face was not Hidetsu's melancholy, but rather a hint of arrogance.

「So, it seems that my good-for-naught younger brother has been here.」

「It's Lord Hiashi. What's the matter?」 Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

「My younger brother only knows how to lock himself in the room all day long. He won't achieve anything.」

Hiashi Hyūga shook his head and didn't plan to delve deeper into it.

After saying that, he directly stepped into the room.

It was still the same wooden table, with two cups of tea placed on it. When Hiashi Hyūga glanced at the tea in front of him, he showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Instead of choosing to drink the tea, he just said directly.

「I came here this time to take in a disciple. Satoru, how about being my disciple?」

He showed a faint smile and directly looked at Satoru Hyūga in front of him.

Taking on an apprentice was naturally the result of his careful deliberation. As is common knowledge, he was the next in line to become the clan leader. In terms of strength, he had already reached the rank of Jonin at just over 20 years old, more than qualified to instruct Satoru Hyūga, a Genin.

More importantly, once Satoru Hyūga bore the title of disciple of the next clan leader, all problems would be effortlessly resolved.

The branch family would be more submissive to the main family due to Satoru Hyūga's status as a disciple of the main family. As for the Hokage, since he had accepted an apprentice, it would likely be inappropriate for him to interfere.

 "I decline."

The smile on Hiashi Hyūga's face froze immediately. He seemed to still be doubting whether he had heard correctly.

"Are you worried about Teacher Shibi Aburame? Don't worry. He is merely your instructor, and it doesn't conflict with becoming my disciple. Once you become my disciple, the clan will provide you with a monthly subsidy of 100,000 ryo. In addition, some of the main family's secret techniques will also be open to you."

Satoru Hyūga cast a helpless glance at him and said, "I think you've misunderstood, Lord Hiashi. I don't wish to be your disciple. It has nothing to do with Teacher Shibi Aburame or anything else. I simply want more freedom."

This answer rendered Hiashi Hyūga stunned. He didn't know how to begin with the words he had prepared in his mind.

 "More freedom?"

"Yeah. Once I become Lord Hiashi's disciple, I'm afraid I won't be able to act freely in many aspects."

Freedom? Restraints?

Absurd!

What do you, a member of the branch family, know of freedom? Do you know how many people aspire to become my disciple!

Hiashi Hyūga forcefully suppressed the anger he desired to vent. Years of clan upbringing made him instinctively uphold his so-called grace. He took a deep breath to compose himself.

 "Well, since you've already made your decision, I won't force you. Although you didn't become my disciple, the monthly subsidy of 100,000 ryo will still be provided to you. This is a reward bestowed by the clan."

After saying that, without hesitation, he rose to his feet and left.

Satoru Hyūga gazed intently at his back. Today, both pairs of brothers, Hidetsu and Hiashi Hyūga, had come to visit him, yet their purposes were entirely different.

He accepted Hidetsu's Scroll but declined Hiashi Hyūga's offer to take him as a disciple. In a sense, it was also a form of statement.

The future may not be so tranquil.

He sighed silently to himself.
