Chapter 157: Hyuga Hiashi's Sincerity
"Ahem! Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Let's take a look at the documents on the table first."
Seeing that everyone was here, the Third Hokage immediately announced the start of the meeting.
The meeting was still the same old routine. From the beginning of the total war to now, a meeting was held every few days, but the content of the meeting did not change much. The overall focus was still on the war on the front line.
In Jingyi's words, it was boring and tedious.
Look, the fat man Akimichi Tofu almost fell asleep.
Jingyi also leaned on the chair and listened absent-mindedly, but his mind flew away.
On the contrary, Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku, who were sitting behind him, listened very seriously.
A simple meeting lasted for more than three hours before it ended.
If it weren't for the need for a representative from the Anbu, Jingyi would rather go into the laboratory to toss his puppet materials than come here to waste time.
"Jingyi, can we find a place to have a meal and chat?"
The meeting just ended.
Jingyi got up and left decisively, but Hyuga Hiashi caught up with him and invited him to dinner.
"Okay." Seeing that it was time for dinner, it would be great if someone invited him to dinner.
As for why Hyuga Hiashi invited him to dinner, isn't it obvious?
This guy hasn't given up yet.
Outside the barbecue restaurant, Jingyi asked with some entanglement:
"Can we change places?"
Hyuga Hiashi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said:
"The taste of the barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi clan belongs to........."
"That's not what I mean."
Jingyi hurriedly explained: "What I mean is that I have eaten barbecue for several days in a row, so I want to change to something else to eat, and I didn't say that the barbecue of the Akimichi clan is not good."
No matter how delicious the food is, you can't stand it if you eat it for several days in a row.
It just so happens that there are a lot of people inviting him to dinner recently.
Orochimaru invited him, Uchiha Fugaku invited him, Hatake Sakumo invited him, and Hyuga Hiashi also invited him, and each of them likes to choose a barbecue restaurant.
Jingyi was numb.
So Hyuga Hiashi decisively changed to another store.
As soon as he sat down, Hyuga Hiashi said: "Meihui has caused you trouble recently."
"......."
How dare you say that!
Jingyi rolled his eyes directly. Fortunately, his eyes have changed. If it were the same as before, the eyes would be the same whether he rolled them or not.
After drinking a sip of hot tea, Jingyi lazily crossed his legs together. He was not used to kneeling:
"Young clan leader, let's not say polite words. Meihui is very cute and I like her too. In fact, I have always been curious about you and the elders of the family. You are willing to push the people of the main family out."
The Uchiha clan was able to push Uchiha Mikoto out and push her to his side because the Uchiha clan had such courage.
But what about the Hyuga clan?
Even if they could push, according to the past habits, at most they would send a girl from the branch family. The main family should not even think about it. Every person in the main family is a treasure.
The result exceeded everyone's expectations.
The Hyuga clan was also awesome for once.
"This is my personal suggestion. Father accepted my suggestion and persuaded other elders."
It was Hyuga Hiashi who led the effort to promote Hyuga Mihui to win over Jingyi. He persuaded the old clan leader, and the old clan leader persuaded the elders of the family.
Without his father's intervention, Hyuga Hiashi, the young clan leader, could not do it at all.
Jingyi looked strange: "I heard that Mihui was trained as the future clan leader's wife."
"Compared to the choice of wife, I think you will be more helpful to the family."
Hyuga Hiashi said this calmly.
Jingyi: "........"
Damn!
Those who can become young clan leaders are not simple, but if Hyuga Hiashi changes his wife, can he still give birth to a little Hinata?
The same is true for Uchiha Fugaku. Can he still have Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke if he changes his wife?
Even if he can, he still needs to worry about the appearance of these two brothers.
After all, Uchiha Fugaku's face is here. Itachi and Sasuke can become the male gods in the hearts of countless people, all thanks to Uchiha Mikoto's excellent genes. If it were someone else...
"You are really persistent."
Jingyi also admired Hinata Hiashi.
Whenever he had time, he would ask him for advice, when he had time, he would invite him to dinner, and he would do everything to get closer to him. Even if he was rejected, he would not be discouraged and would continue next time.
"Young clan leader, I won't say nice things. If you really want to change the family, but you can't change the family rules and inheritance, then I can only say that you need to start with the treatment of the branch family and the arrogance of the main family."
"Why is the conflict between the main family and the branch family so deep?"
"In addition to the caged bird curse, the biggest reason is that the people in the branch family are treated too badly, and the people in the main family are too arrogant. They don't treat the people in the branch family as human beings at all. In the long run, it would be strange if the people in the branch family don't have knots in their hearts. If you really want to change the Hyuga clan, start here."
Hyuga Hiashi doesn't have the ability to activate the caged bird curse, and he can't change the rules of family inheritance.
Since the general direction is not working, you can only start from other places.
For example, change the arrogance of the main family, improve the status of the branch family, and improve the treatment of the branch family. As long as these two points are achieved, the conflicts between the main family and the branch family can definitely be resolved.
"Can this really improve the conflicts in the family?"
Hyuga Hiashi cheered up.
Jing was speechless for a moment. The young patriarch who wanted to improve the relationship between the main family and the branch family was essentially no different from the people of the main family.
"Why not?"
Jingyi was not in a very high mood, and said casually:
"From the beginning to the end, the people of the main family are too arrogant and proud, even the young clan leader yourself. Sometimes, if you lower your status appropriately, people will not think that the people of the main family are cheap. You can learn from other families, such as Uchiha."
"People in the Uchiha clan's main courtyard don't think that they are superior to others, but does anyone look down on them for this reason?"
"Why is Uchiha Fugaku welcomed and supported in the family?"
"He never puts on the airs of the young clan leader. He can get along with the people of the family in a friendly and equal manner. Over time, he will naturally gain the recognition and support of the clan members."
The Hyuga clan would definitely not bother to compare with ordinary families, even Hyuga Hiashi would be arrogant.
But Uchiha.....This is the existence that is regarded as the biggest competitor by the Hyuga clan.
Uchiha is the most appropriate example.
"But..."
Hinata Hiashi thought seriously for a while. He felt that it was very difficult to do this. If he was not being pretentious, he could treat his clan members equally like Uchiha Fugaku, but the other members of the main family would not allow him to do so.
"No buts."
