People Are Drawing Cards In Konoha, But Some Men Don’t Play

Chapter 47

The previous generation of the Hyuga family had an open secret.

But few people mentioned it, and they all chose to forget it.

Ningci, who had just stood up, was at a loss, not knowing why Teacher Mengchen kept him.

According to the instructions of the clan leader, he should withdraw.

But Mengchen’s obstruction made him hesitate for a while.

Ningci looked at the clan leader Hiashi for inquiry, but did not get a response for a long time.

Hiashi struggled for a moment, then came to his senses,”Then stay.”

Hiashi motioned for his nephew to sit down, and looked at Mengchen again.

This time, his eyes became sharp,”Teacher Mengchen should know that there are some things that need to be said with caution.”

There are not many things that Ningci should know, and Hiashi quickly thought of the secret.

Some wounds cannot be healed, so don’t open the scars.

Some old things, if they can’t be resolved, don’t bring them up again.

Mengchen just smiled, looked at Ningci, and asked bluntly:”Do you hate Senior Hiashi?”

Ningci was stunned on the spot!

Such words were asked in front of him?

The main family versus the branch family is not a simple issue of the main family and the side branch.

The caged bird curse seal of the branch family is controlled by the main family.

The main family has the power to decide the punishment and even deprive the branch family of their lives!

But –

Neji dug his nails into his palms and did not answer.

If he admitted it, he would be courting death.

But if he denied it, he would not be able to get over it!

“Yes, of course you hate it, and you should hate it.”

Meng Chen held the teacup and told the story as if he were the person involved,”Nine years ago, the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village came to Konoha to sign a ceasefire agreement.”

“As a member of the Hyuga family, you should know that the Byakugan has a strategic significance on the battlefield.”

“There is no force in the ninja world that does not covet the Byakugan, and there are many people who try to obtain the Byakugan.”

“But there are not many people who dare to force Baiyan in Konoha.”

“But the Hidden Cloud Village is the one that is brave enough.”

Ningji realized what Meng Chen was going to say, pursed his lips and said nothing.

“On Hinata’s third birthday, Konoha held a grand ceremony, but someone from the Hidden Cloud Village envoys left the celebration and quietly sneaked into the Hyuga family.”

“After the banquet, he took the opportunity to kidnap Hinata”

”

The plan was going smoothly, but the real owner accidentally saw them on the way to retreat.

“I’ll tell you what happened next.”

Hinata Hiashi suddenly interrupted,”I wanted to wait until Neji was older and find a suitable time to tell you about this.”

He sighed:

“Yes, I encountered an attacker.”

“In order to save Hinata, I killed that man”

“After investigation, it was found that the man was a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village.”The Hidden Cloud Village is indeed cruel and shameless.

They said they wanted to stop the war, but they kept moving.

When Konoha was celebrating peace, they attacked the heir of Konoha’s wealthy family….

It stands to reason that such behavior should be punished with death! But after saying this, Hiashi found it difficult to speak.

But since he had spoken, there was no need to hide it any longer.

Hiashi continued:”Afterwards, the envoy of the Hidden Cloud Village went to Konoha to protest and asked Konoha to hand over the murderer who killed their ninja.” Neji couldn’t help but stand up because of the resentment he had held over the years:”Why did they do that?!”

“It was clearly them who invaded and committed such a crime. It was merciful of Konoha not to hold the Hidden Cloud Village responsible!”

Neji couldn’t understand how the Hidden Cloud Village had the courage to make such an outrageous request to the strongest ninja village, Konoha!

However, what made him feel even more outrageous was the”ending” that made him sad.

Hiashi closed his eyes and whispered:”After negotiations between the two sides, Konoha decided to hand over my body as compensation.”

Although the voice was light, everyone could hear the humiliation in it!

The dignified patriarch of the Konoha family was actually asked to exchange his life for the life of the robbers!

The key is that Konoha actually agreed!

Neji was speechless. He even wondered if there was something wrong with the world line.

The education he received since childhood and the world he was exposed to were obviously not like this!

Hiashi struggled, and continued:”Later, the family decided to let Hizashi, who looks similar to me, replace me.”

“This is the whole story, Neji”

“It is understandable that you hate me.”

Hiashi did not excuse himself, nor did he elaborate on the significance of replacing the head of the main family with the branch family Hizashi for a ninja clan.

That was a cold argument of interests for the superiors.

But for Hiashi, making excuses for himself was an insult to his younger brother Hizashi.

But even if he didn’t say it, Neji could think of the twists and turns in it.

Losing the protection of his father at a young age made him learn to look at the world from a cold perspective.

He was stunned for a long time. This story was quite different from what he knew before.

Neji always thought that it was the main family who forced his father to death.

But did his father die voluntarily?

If the story is really as they said, his father’s choice does fit Neji’s impression of his father.

“If so, if so……”

Tears welled up in Neji’s eyes, but his expression was very ferocious,”But why is it like this?”

He always thought that Hiashi was the one he should hate.

It turned out that his father was willing to sacrifice for the family and his brother.

But he didn’t understand why his father had to die?

This hatred should not disappear.

But without Hiashi as his target, Neji was at a loss.

He didn’t know who to hate.

“Because Konoha wants to avoid war.”

Meng Chen said calmly,”Konoha suffered heavy losses in the Third Ninja World War, plus the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and can’t withstand another new war.”

Ningci said in a rough voice:”Can the Hidden Cloud Village withstand it?!”

They are all ninja villages that have fought three wars, why can the Hidden Cloud Village withstand it?

Meng Chen’s tone is still calm:”The Hidden Cloud Village has preserved stronger strength.”

Ningci confronted:”Then Konoha should give up resistance? Should it sacrifice the people of the village to pray for peace?!”

Meng Chen couldn’t help but teasing:”What else? Your Hyuga family is the Hyuga family of Konoha, isn’t it right to sacrifice for the village?”

Ningci said angrily:”Why should it be?!”

“We, the ninja clan, are part of Konoha!”

“We protect Konoha and fight for Konoha!”

“Why would you sacrifice us when danger comes?”

“Do you treat our Hyuga family as dogs?!”

Meng Chen stroked his chin and thought:”When you need to guard the house, keep them at home, and when you need to cover the retreat, throw them out to feed the wild beasts…….”

“Don’t mention it, Ningci”

“You have a very clear positioning of the Hyuga family, and your description is very vivid.”

Ningji actually regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

He actually described his family as Konoha’s dog in front of the head of the main family…….

But soon, he didn’t even have time to explain or make amends.

Ningci, who had a keen sense of smell, felt that the atmosphere was very strange.

Mengchen teacher brought up the topic and passed the message to him…….

Induce him to say such a rebellious thing against Konoha……

But Lord Rizu had a dark face and did not make any excuses…….

Look at the smiling teacher Mengchen again……

Gulp, Neji swallowed nervously, but it only stung his throat.

Inexplicably, he had the illusion that he had stumbled into the scene of a devil’s deal.
