Chapter 58 The Secret of the Hyuga Clan
Here, everyone from the Hyuga clan has gathered.
"Aoji, your grandfather is waiting for you, go in." Clan leader Hinata Ryusuke gently patted Aoji on the shoulder, and then left with the other clan members.
"Father, Elder Kumokawa is really..." Hinata Hiashi looked at his father and said hesitantly.
"Hey." He sighed, the clan leader Hinata Ryusuke didn't say much.
Then, headed by Hinata Ryusuke, the members of the clan who gathered here walked out of the Aoji family's mansion one by one.
They all understood that the remaining time of Hinata Kumokawa was reserved for Aoji.
Therefore, I was very interesting and did not stay long.
Now that all the members of the Zong family are gone, the separated families will definitely not be so blind.
In the blink of an eye, as Aangji returned, all the Hyuga clan members gathered at home left, leaving only Aangji and the servants who originally served Aangji's family.
Seeing that everyone had left, Aangji tried to open the door with trembling hands.
But this door seems to be as heavy as a stone at this moment.
Just when Aangji was still hesitant and scared, there was a sound in the room.
"It's Cangji who's back, cough cough."
This cough instantly broke Aangji's hesitation.
"Grandpa! I'm back. How are you?"
After entering the room, Aangji immediately shouted anxiously.
I saw an old man lying there on the tatami in the room.
His head was covered with white hair, his face was as thin as a withered face, age spots covered his cheeks, his eye sockets were sunken deeply, and his hands had no flesh and blood, as if they were just skin covering bones.
This person is Aoji's grandfather Hinata Kumikawa.
Seeing this scene, Aangji burst into tears instantly.
The last time the two met was a year ago. At that time, Aangji went out on a mission and had just returned to the village for supplies, and Hinata Kumikawa also happened to return to the village to rest for a while.
Perhaps it was the baptism of the battlefield. Not only did Hinata Kumikawa not look old at all, but he was radiant and full of heroism.
I didn't expect that a year later, we would meet again in such a situation.
"Haha, my grandson is getting more and more handsome." Hinata Kumokawa opened his closed eyes, looked at Aangji and said with a smile.
There is no sadness at all because his life is about to disappear.
"Humph, of course, grandpa, am I much more handsome now than you were before." Aangji forced a smile while wiping his tears.
Neither the grandfather nor the grandson immediately talked about the separation of life and death.
Instead, he talked about some irrelevant topics, as if he wanted to disperse the parting atmosphere.
"Hahaha, not only is he more handsome than me, but he is also much stronger than grandpa when he was young. Aoji, you have grown up." Hinata Kumokawa looked at his proud grandson with a look of relief.
After hearing these words, Aangji was so full of tears that he was speechless.
"Kid, don't cry. You're already so old. People will laugh if you spread the word."
Hinata Kumokawa raised his arm with difficulty, trying to help Aoji wipe away his tears, but found that he could not do it.
"No way, the wind was too strong and blew the sand into my eyes." Aangji used the worst excuse he learned from the TV series in his previous life.
Then, acting like it was serious, he closed the doors and windows next to him.
They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.
The more Aangji wanted to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, the more tears he shed.
"Hey, Aangji, don't feel sorry for me. Grandpa has lived enough to live to this age. He should have gone to meet your parents a few years ago." After looking away from Aangji, Hinata said Yunchuan looked at the snow-white ceiling and said
Hinata Kumikawa is now over sixty years old and can be said to be a contemporary of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
From the Warring States Period to the present, it has experienced the establishment of Konoha Village.
Witnessed the battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
He fought in the First Ninja War and lost his son and daughter-in-law during this period.
For Hinata Kumokawa, if it weren't for taking care of the young Hinata Aoji, he might not be able to survive long ago.
Now that he could fight for Konoha, he felt that he deserved his death.
"Aangji, you are the one I can't let go of the most right now. I originally wanted to see you start a family, get married and have children, but now it seems I can't wait." Hinata Kumokawa, who said this with a smile, Aangji felt infinitely sad.
"No, Grandpa! I also want you to be my witness, watch me get married, watch my children be born, and I also want Grandpa to name my children, so, Grandpa, you must Survive."
Tears have blurred Aangji's eyes.
"Everyone has his own destiny, and it cannot be forced by human power. Now, grandpa, I still have something to say to you. Don't interrupt me, just listen quietly." Hinata Kumikawa said these words very seriously.
And Aangji saw that Hinata Kumokawa, who was originally lifeless, suddenly became energetic.
Not only did this not make Aangji feel relieved, but it actually made his heart even more painful!
In a popular sense, this situation is called retrospection!
Hinata Kumikawa's time is running out!
Therefore, no matter how much he couldn't bear it, Aangji didn't dare to speak anymore.
Because he knew that his grandfather's voice could be heard every sentence.
"Cangji, I know that you have always had your own ideas over the years.
You train so hard and want to become stronger.
Logically speaking, it should be enough for you to have this strength at your age.
But it seems to me that you are being chased by some terrifying existence, and you are trying your best to squeeze yourself for it.
I don't know what you are afraid of?
But there is a secret about our Hyuga clan, and now I am the only one in the whole family who should know it.
We old guys originally wanted to take this secret to our graves.
This is a secret that is passed down only by word of mouth.
Even the current patriarch doesn’t know.
With the passing of the First Elder and the Sixth Elder in the early years, I am considered the last insider.
That is, our Hyuga clan has a big enemy.
When the other party finds us, it may be the time when our Hyuga clan will be destroyed.
Logically speaking, this secret should not be kept secret.
But the response was too serious.
In addition, there has been no news from each other in these years, so we gave up.
The way to deal with the enemy is also the way to improve the personal strength of our Hyuga clan.
You should have felt the shackles of the Byakugan that our Hyuga clan has by now.
But this shackles could be broken before the Warring States Period. "
Hinata Kumokawa said so much in one breath.
In fact, Aangji had already guessed this.
If the Hyuga clan didn't have a way to break through the Kage level, they would have been wiped out as early as the Warring States Period.
You know, during the Warring States Period, the Hyuga clan was not weaker than the Senju and Uchiha.
It was only in modern times, with the emergence of two terrifying guys, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, that the Hyuga clan was gradually outclassed by these two clans.
Aangji has always been puzzled, although the Byakugan Blood Successor is very useful.
However, the high-end strength of the Hyuga clan cannot even suppress any of the "Inaraka Butterfly" clan, so why is it called the second largest clan in Konoha.
A ninja clan without a shadow-level warrior would have limited strength after all.
Now listening to what Hyuga Kumikawa said, the Hyuga clan should have a way to break through the shadow level, but I'm afraid the price is not acceptable to ordinary people.
Without giving Hinata Aoji time to react, Hinata Kumokawa continued, feeling that he was running out of time.
"Aoji, if you are forced into a desperate situation one day, try your luck at the place where our Hyuga clan lived during the Warring States Period.
There is hidden the secret of us Hyuga clan breaking through the shadow level, and it is also the means to deal with the powerful enemy.
But the consequence is that every strong person who broke through the shadow level disappeared afterwards.
The slow one lasted seven or eight years, and the quick one even disappeared within three days after breaking through the shadow level.
Yes, it just disappeared in front of everyone.
No one could find them, and they were never seen again.
So, don’t go there unless absolutely necessary!
remember!
Also, don’t let the rest of the Hyuga clan know about this matter. "
After saying that, Hinata Kumokawa held Aoji's wrist tightly with both hands.
"I, I understand, grandpa." Aangji choked and agreed.
Hinata Kumokawa said so, of course Aangji would not seek death like this.
What's more, Aangji has now found a way to break through the Kage level that is different from the traditional method of the Hyuga clan. Now he is just on the verge of breaking through, so why bother.
Aangji longs for strength and wants to change his destiny through strength.
But that doesn't mean he would risk his life for strength.
Knowing that the road ahead is a lifeless one, but still insisting on going through it, that's not called courage, that's called stupidity!
Since this method is blocked by the entire Hyuga clan's top brass, there is no need to think too much about its meaning.
After seeing Aangji's solemn assurance, Hinata Kumokawa also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Furthermore, my years on the front line have not been in vain. I have observed the layout of the borders of various countries, as well as the mountains and terrain, and some hidden paths through my white eyes and recorded them in the scroll.
If you are going to the battlefield, this will be your best support. "
As expected, the person who knows Aoji best is Hinata Kumokawa.
Aangji had actually been preparing for the battlefield for a long time.
Not because he likes killing, but because he wants to hone himself on the battlefield.
In the early years, Hyuga Kumokawa proposed that if any family ninja wanted to participate in the war, the clan would give priority consideration, and it was for Aoji that he proposed it.
Hearing Hinata Kumokawa say this, Aoji's tears that had stopped flowed again.
At this moment, Aangji truly understood that Hinata Kumikawa's participation in the war was all to pave the way for himself.
Come to think of it, Hinata Kumikawa is so old, what is the purpose of going to the battlefield? Why not just stay at home and take care of his old age.
There is only one answer, for the sake of our descendants and grandchildren.
"Grandpa~"
No matter how grateful you are, they are all so full in Aangji's chest right now that he can't say them out.
Stretching out his withered right hand and touching Aoji's head, Hinata Kumokawa didn't feel any trouble at all.
In short, in one sentence, he is happy for his grandson!
It can be said that this old man dedicated the first half of his life to his family and the village, and the second half of his life to Cangji.
"Aangji, I hope you remember that you are a member of the Hyuga family after all, and you must protect this family in the future.
I know you don't approve of the Hyuga clan in your heart, but we have the same blood after all, so I'll leave it to you in the future. "
The old man was speaking a little tremblingly now, as if he might die at any time.
Aangji was startled and quickly stretched out his hands to hold his grandfather's palm.
Hinata Kumikawa's guess was not wrong. Aangji actually didn't have a high sense of belonging to this family.
Some of them are just admiration for grandpa.
Otherwise, only the brothers Hizashi and Hizashi deserve some attention.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I promise you everything. No matter what you say, I promise." Aangji made his promise carefully, fearing that his loud voice might disturb Hinata Kumikawa.
"Aangji, grandpa is tired and wants to take a nap."
Hinata Kumokawa said the last words very softly. If Aangji hadn't been by his side, he might not have heard anything.
Aangji, who originally wanted his grandfather to hold on, suddenly couldn't bear to speak.
The old man worked too hard and was too tired.
This life has been unkind to him enough, and he can't even live out his life.
So, what reason does Aangji have to stop the old man from taking a rest?
"Grandpa, go to sleep. When I wake you up for dinner at night, we will train together."
Aangji was already lying next to the old man's ear, whispering with a twitching voice.
After hearing these words, the old man finally smiled and closed his eyes peacefully.
Hinata Kumikawa passed away~.
