Chapter 66: Chapter 63 Whirlpool
When Yuya came out of the Hyuga main house, Hyuga Hiyao, the former old patriarch who was deeply loved by the Hyuga clan, personally escorted Yuya out, and the smile on his face never faded.
"Oh my, my friend, are you really not going to stay with us, Hinata, for dinner today? Our Hyuga clan still has some delicious dishes."
Yuya chuckled and replied, "No, no, there are still many things to deal with. I think the old patriarch also wants to see the facility completed as soon as possible. When everything is settled, I will definitely come to ask Hinata for a jug of good wine. The old patriarch must not be stingy at that time."
"Hahaha~ Definitely, definitely!"
Yuya and Hinata Hiyao walked out of the back room happily, and Hinata Wakko's mouth opened in an 'O' shape. When did these two become so familiar?
Yuya and Hinata Hiyao both selectively ignored Hinata Kazuko. Yuya said goodbye to Hinata and Hiyao with a smile, and the two agreed again to hold a celebration banquet once everything was settled.
After Yuya left, the smile on Hinata Hiyao's face suddenly disappeared. He put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Yuya's departing figure, lost in thought.
"Grandpa, patriarch?" Hinata Kazuko was even more shocked when he saw the old patriarch, who seemed to have changed his expression. Didn't you just share joy with Yuya?
Hinata Hiyao looked back at Hinata Kazuko, his expression slightly relaxed, but then became tense. "Wakko, come here, grandpa wants to ask you something."
Hinata Hiyao asked Hinata Kazuko everything about Yuya. Although Hinata Kazuko didn't know much, she only remembered that she and Uchiha Rou often quarreled in school. But this was enough for Hinata Hiyao.
"Old patriarch, why are you asking these questions?" Hinata Kazuko was a little confused.
Hinata Hiyao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Hinata Kazuko could leave. Hinata Hiyao knew that the plan proposed by Yuya was very attractive, but whether it would generate hundreds of millions of taels of revenue a year was doubtful. It was impossible for Yuya to make such a bold claim and for him to believe it just like that. If he were so naive, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of the Hyuga clan leader. Besides...
If it was Senju Hashirama who said this, he would definitely believe it. But for a fourteen-year-old kid to claim this, how could he possibly believe it?
After thinking for a long time, Hinata Hiyao raised his head and ordered someone from the tribe, "Go and ask Chief Sarutobi to come over."
This wasn't about hedging his bets. Hinata is different from Uchiha. Uchiha is looked down upon by Senju Tobirama because of historical issues. Hinata didn't have this problem.
Moreover, the current head of the Hyuga clan had taken his clan members to the front line with the second generation. No matter what, the Hyuga clan should not be targeted by Senju Tobirama.
Therefore, Hinata could perform actions that Uchiha dared not. Like openly contacting other families and acting as though they are united.
Of course, if the profits after everything settles are really as high as Yuya claimed, or even if they're only half, then they, Hinata, would be the first family under the most loyal God Jin Yua since ancient times.
Sarutobi? Hahaha, even if Sarutobi comes to power, can he bring such great benefits to Hinata? Cannot?! Then you are of no use to me!
After Yuya left the Hyuga clan and returned to the Hokage's office, he received a report from Uchiha Kagami. After Yuya left, the Hyuga clan sent someone to invite people from the Sarutobi clan for tea. The other party didn't even bother to hide it.
Uchiha Kagami was furious about this matter. This was an obvious double-dealing behavior. Was the pleasant conversation with Yuya just an act?
However, Yuya laughed a few times and waved his hand, saying it didn't matter. Yuya wasn't surprised or angry that the Hyuga clan did this. To be honest, wasn't it convenient for Yuya that the old patriarch of Hinata made this decision?
In any case, the Hyuga clan did agree to Yuya's plan to give out one-third of the clan's territory. Now that Hinata has agreed, they cannot go back on their word.
If the old Hyuga clan leader didn't do such a thing, Yuya really wouldn't know what to do with the Hyuga clan.
Of course, Yuya has a thousand ways to make Hinata give back what they took, but if Yuya really did that, what would other families think of him? Hinata just gave their land to Yuya. If Yuya profited from the land, shouldn't they have a share? If Yuya doesn't give it, his credibility will be challenged.
In simple terms, no one would dare to follow him in the future. But things are different now. If Hinata acts like this, then I will target them a bit in the future. As long as I don't go too far, no one can say anything to me.
It was Hinata who started playing double-dealing and was the first to publicly hedge their bets on the next Hokage successor.
I spent 10 million to get Nara out of trouble. Now the Nara clan isn't struggling with me. You bet on me while flirting with other families, so don't complain when I target you.
Uchiha Kagami couldn't understand it, but Yuya did. The current situation in Konoha is stable and improving, and the general environment is peaceful, so the fight between these families over the position of the third generation can be a bit out of line.
Not for anything else, just to express an attitude to Senju Tobirama. His family, Shenjin Yua, is not convinced, and the third generation has better candidates. The candidate will be discussed internally.
This attitude is very important. Many times if you don't express your attitude, others will definitely ignore it even if they know what you think. If you don't express your attitude yourself, how can you make others respect your opinions?
Of course, although Yuya knows it in his heart, he must do something about it. So Yuya asked Uchiha Kagami to spread the rumor that Yuya smashed the table in the Hokage's office. This was to inoculate him against the Hyuga clan in the future.
After hearing this, Hinata and Riyao felt even more disdainful. After all, he was just a kid who couldn't hold his breath and acted embarrassed after being stabbed in the back. How could such a person be the third Hokage?
Sure enough, the third generation must be chosen by several of our elder families in Konoha to ensure better development and continued strength of Konoha. This way, their family can always occupy a high position in Konoha...
Putting all this aside, with the Hyuga clan agreeing to Yuya's proposal and being the first to take advantage of it, Yuya no longer needs to sell his plan as aggressively as before. If other families can continue to sit still after seeing the benefits brought by Yuya's plan in a few years, then Yuya won't actively seek them out.
If they can remain indifferent, so be it. What does it have to do with me? If necessary, I can build hospitals, schools, newspapers, plazas, landmarks, etc., in the outer city of Konoha closest to the inner city and surround the inner city wall. Do you really think I have to win you over?
This was Yuya's thought and approach.
Then, one day at the end of February in the 20th year of Konoha, Uzumaki Mito sent someone to invite Yuya. She needed help because the country of Uzumaki, where the Uzumaki clan resided, was besieged by a war initiated by Kirigakure Village.
