The next day, when it was still dark, the sound of training came from the training ground of Hinata Aoji's house.
Sweat was dripping in the air, and a wooden stake on the ground was completely scrapped. This was the scene Hinata Kumikawa saw when he woke up and passed the entrance in the morning.
"This boy is really hardworking!"
Still remembering the last thing he saw last night and all the scenes in front of him now, Hinata Kumikawa didn't know what to say about his grandson.
"Aangji, come over for breakfast first, and then continue training later."
Until he saw his grandson finishing a set of soft fists and preparing to start his stance again, Hinata Kumokawa hurriedly shouted to Aangji.
"Ah, Grandpa, you're awake. I understand. Come right now."
Hearing the familiar voice, Aangji quickly put away his posture, took the towel handed by the servant and wiped it, then came to Hinata Kumokawa, ready to eat the breakfast just served by the servant.
"Aangji, although it is commendable to train hard, you should remember that training too much is not enough. You are still in the growth stage. If you have an irreversible impact on your body, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Hinata Kumokawa did not tell what he saw Aangji training last night, but only vaguely reminded his grandson.
"Ah, Grandpa, don't worry. I know it well. If I really can't hold it anymore, I won't force you to train."
Aangji was very sure, and he didn't know if it was because of time travel. Although there was no golden finger or system or anything like that, his mental strength was surprisingly high. He didn't feel like he had reached his limit during the past two days of training.
Hearing what Aangji said, Hinata Kumokawa also nodded.
"After having breakfast and washing up later, come with me to the clan leader's mansion. In the past few days since you fainted, the clan leader and other clan members were very worried about you. Now that you have recovered, you should go and visit together. "
Hinata Kumokawa said to Aoji during the meal.
This surprised Aangji.
Yes, I am the only heir to the third line of the clan, and can be regarded as one of the masters of the Hyuga clan. For such a big event as waking up from a faint, I must say hello to other clan members.
"Yeah, I got it, Grandpa."
After agreeing, the two of them finished breakfast together in silence. Then Aangji went to wash up, and then walked towards the clan leader's residence with Hinata Kumokawa waiting at the door.
Looking at the various buildings in the Hyuga clan's territory along the way, Aangji could only think of adjectives such as solemn and solemn. In short, it gave people a very depressing feeling.
Finally, we arrived at the patriarch's house. Because the Aoji family was also a member of the clan, it wasn't very far from here.
The center of the entire Hyuga clan is the clan's mansion. Next to it are the eight clan elders, the core members of the eight clans. On the periphery are the ninjas of the branch clans. At the outermost edge are some ordinary members of the Hyuga clan who have no ninja talent. tribesmen.
But this layout should be the layout of most ninjas.
The Hyuga clan has a total of about 1,600 people. Among them, the number of ninjas is about 400, accounting for almost a quarter of the number. The number of jounin is about 40, and there are about 180 chunin and genin each.
The total number of Zong family members is about 20, so it can be said that the other nearly 1,600 branch family members are serving these 20 people!
As for the Uchiha clan next door, the population is about 2,000. There are about 500 ninjas, which is almost a quarter. There are nearly 60 jounin, about 300 chunin, and about 140 genin.
As the largest and second largest clans in Konoha, both of them basically rely on four ordinary people to support the growth of a ninja.
How Hinata Aoji knew this knowledge was all obtained from his grandfather Hinata Kumikawa and the servants who served him during the week he was lying on the bed.
After waiting outside the patriarch's mansion for a while, he was greeted by servants and entered the meeting hall.
Aangji originally thought that the servants would take them to the living room, but when he entered the meeting hall and saw a bunch of people from the Hyuga family around, Aangji was stunned for a moment.
Regarding all this, Hinata Kumokawa has always been very calm.
Then he took Aangji to sit down on an empty futon next to him, and Aangji also knelt down quietly next to Hinata Kumikawa.
Several Hyuga clan members nearby nodded to Hinata Kumikawa, and Hinata Kumikawa also nodded with a smile, which was regarded as saying hello.
Hinata Aoji looked around. Counting himself and Hinata Kumikawa, there were a total of 10 people in the council hall. What everyone had in common was a pair of white eyes and a smooth forehead.
No need to guess, Cangji can be sure that those present are all members of the clan, and they should be the patriarch of the today's clan and the elders of the Eight Meridians, the core members of the core.
As for the remaining clan members who were not present, they should be some old people who have not yet inherited the positions of elders and clan leaders or have retired.
"Elder Yunchuan, you are here. How is Aangji recovering?"
The first person to speak was the middle-aged man kneeling on the futon in the middle.
Judging from the position, this person must be the leader of the Hyuga clan, and Aangji was very sure of his guess.
Sure enough, Hinata Kumikawa's words later confirmed this.
"Thank you to the clan leader for your concern. Cangji has fully recovered. Come on, Cangji, come and pay homage to the clan leader."
"Hyuga Aoji, the third heir of the Hyuga clan, has met the clan leader and thanked him for his concern." At the signal of his grandfather Hyuga Kumikawa, Aoji quickly bowed his head to the clan leader in a decent manner.
"Haha, Chief Cang is so old. I haven't seen you much since your parents passed away, but now it seems that your grandpa has taken good care of you. Elder Yunchuan, when the meeting is over, from me Let’s give Cangji a piece of blood ginseng that is a century old, as a way of caring for the descendants of the clan on behalf of Cangsi’s parents.”
As expected, he is worthy of being the leader of the Hyuga clan. This move was made by Hao, directly sending him the century-old blood ginseng.
This made Aangji feel friendly looking at the prim face of the Hyuga clan leader.
The grandfather and grandson once again expressed their gratitude to the patriarch.
As members of the same clan, if Hinata Kumikawa wanted to apply for a blood ginseng from the family, he could actually apply for it, but it would have to go through a vote by the clan members. Unlike now, the clan leader directly opens his private treasure house and contributes it.
Giving things to the family requires a vote, but giving personal items leaves no room for others to interfere.
"Aangji, we still have some things to discuss with your grandfather. You and your servant should go to the yard to rest for a while. It just so happens that Hizu didn't go to the ninja school today. You can go play with him and learn from him the skills of the ninja school. Knowledge, after all, you will be enrolling in school next year."
Sure enough, the next step should be to discuss important matters of the Hyuga clan, and at this time the clan leader is also thinking about getting rid of Hyuga Aoji, who is still a child.
After Grandpa Hinata Kumikawa nodded vaguely, Aangji stood up, bowed to the clan leader and the eight elders on both sides of the meeting hall, and then retreated.
After leaving the meeting hall, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's no wonder that Cangji acted so exaggeratedly. The atmosphere inside was really too depressing, and there was always a feeling that a storm was about to come.
If the predictions are correct, based on the memories of the past life, the Second Ninja War should be about to break out.
If I remember correctly, the Second Ninja World War broke out in the 29th year of Konoha, which is only one year away. It is now the spring of the 28th year of Konoha, and a war sweeping the entire ninja world will break out next winter at the latest.
The outbreak of war is just a game for the five major countries, but for those small countries, it is a devastating disaster.
Although Konoha will eventually become the victorious nation, the casualties paid during this period will definitely be huge.
Perhaps due to the influence of his previous life, Aangji's heart felt heavy every time he thought about hundreds of people dying. This was probably a sign that he had not yet fully adapted to this cruel ninja world.
With a heavy heart, Aangji followed the patriarch's servants to the courtyard.
Putting aside his dull mood, Aangji saw from a distance that two children of about eight or nine years old were sparring in the courtyard of the patriarch's house.
It cannot be said that these two children look exactly the same, but they are at least eighty-nine points similar.
One of them should be the future head of the Hyuga clan and the eldest son of the current clan leader—Hyuga Hizu.
As for the other child who looks very similar to Hinata Hizashi, it should be Hinata Hizashi who died in the original book instead of his older brother Hinata Hizashi and became the twin brother.
Although the two of them looked surprisingly similar, once they got closer, Aangji could tell at a glance who was the elder brother, Hinata Hizashi, and who was the younger brother, Hyuuga Hizashi.
After all, the clear mark of the caged bird on Hinata Hinashi's forehead makes it difficult for people to ignore it.
They are obviously the children of the same clan leader, and they are twins. Just because the elder brother was born a few minutes earlier and the younger brother was born a few minutes later, the fate of the two parties is completely different.
The elder brother, Hinata Hizashi, enjoys the service of the whole clan, but the younger brother can only be a slave serving the clan.
If this were in an ordinary family, there would never be such a big status gap between the two.
When the head of the Hyuga clan sent Aoji away just now, he only mentioned his eldest son Hyuga Hizashi, and did not say anything about Hyuga Hizashi who had been sent to the branch family.
Aangji didn't know what to say when they were both his own children but treated separately.
Maybe the clan leader was embarrassed to suddenly mention a branch member in front of so many clan members, or maybe the clan leader himself was a supporter of stereotypes, who knows.
But this is a curse for Aangji.
Yes, Aangji is now a member of the clan, but who can guarantee that his descendants will also be members of the clan?
The children of the separated family belong to the separated family, and the children of the clan family do not necessarily belong to the clan family. If this continues, there will only be more and more separated families.
Think about the fact that you will have two sons in the future, one will be a master and the other a slave, and then your grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will be born. . . . . . As more and more descendants become branch families, Aangji's heart shudders.
No, absolutely not!
Either we will break the old habits of clan and branch families in the future, or we will never leave any descendants!
Hinata Aoji secretly made a decision again at this moment!
When the servant approached with Hinata Aoji, he finally met the eyes of the two brothers in training.
"Ah, it turns out Aangji is here. I heard from my father that you fainted due to overtraining. For this reason, my father even increased the intensity of my usual training."
The one who spoke was Hinata and Hizu, both members of the clan. We usually looked up and didn't see each other, so Aoji and Hizu also knew each other.
"Lord Aangji, how is your recovery going?"
Hyuga Hizashi also spoke immediately. Compared to the clan's Hyuga Hizashi, the predecessor Aoji and the split family's Hyuga Hizashi only met a few times.
From the name of Aangji, you can feel the identity gap between the two brothers.
