The Hyuga clan's mansion and meeting hall. Hinata Hiashi and Hyuga Yasuhiro were sitting on chairs, while Hinata Haru below handed over a letter written on a case paper.
Seeing this familiar piece of paper, Hinata Yasuhiro frowned, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious. This guy Hyuga Kai, every time he writes a letter...
The two of them read the letter. Sure enough, although some words and phrases in the familiar format of the letter were changed, the meaning was exactly the same.
Hinata Yasuhiro looked at Hinata Haru and asked: "Is what Hinata Kei said true? Arkham has run out of funds recently due to the surge in patients."
He didn't expect that in just three months, Hinata Kai would have spent almost all the money. You know, the last time I took out a full 80 million.
Even building lunatic asylums and purchasing equipment and medicines accounted for most of it. But the remaining small part should be enough to sustain Arkham for at least one or two years.
The money was spent too fast, which made Yasuhiro Hinata feel something was wrong. Hinata Hizu next to him also frowned. Apparently, he was not very calm after seeing the letter asking for money again.
Rigaharu lowered his head slightly and said: "There are indeed more patients than before. In addition, Qijun charges very low fees for villagers to come to see a doctor, so the cost is indeed not small."
"But it is precisely because of this that the villagers are very grateful to us and praise us full of praise."
Hinata Haru continued: "Kaijun said that he personally does not care about these reputations. But he feels that these reputations are a good thing for the family."
"Kai-kun also said that the Hokage will definitely see everything we do."
Hinata Yasuhiro touched his gray beard and thought, then looked at Hinata Hiashi.
Hinata Hiashi nodded slightly, so Hinata Yasuhiro said: "You tell Hinata Kai that the family can provide operating funds."
"But the family cannot go on indefinitely, and Arkham also needs to find a way to make money."
"The family will provide operating funds at most once a year in the future. If there is still a gap, he needs to find a way to solve it himself."
The important reason for the original decision to support Hyuga Kei in building Arkham was because the Hokage supported this matter. The other point is that he hopes to use this behavior to enhance Hinata's reputation and prestige.
But compared to the results, if Hyuga Kaidu asks for money like this every time, even if the Hyuga family has a big business, they may not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, some restrictions must be given to Hinata Kai. Once a year he thought the comparison was reasonable enough to ensure that Arkham could run smoothly.
After Hinata Yasuhiro finished speaking, Hinata Hizashi added in a gentler tone: "Haru, go back and tell Kai. It's not that the family is unwilling to support, but there are difficulties."
"There are so many people in the family, and the daily expenses are huge. It is impossible for all the circulating funds in the family to support Arkham."
"What the Great Elder said is correct, Arkham also needs to find a way to generate revenue."
Hinata Haru didn't say much. She knew that she only needed to finish what Hinata Kei wanted to express, and left the rest to Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Yasuhiro's judgment.
Only in this way can she avoid being suspected, and Hinata Kai's side will be more stable.
"Go back and tell Kai Hinata to stop writing letters asking for money." Yasuhiro Hinata waved his hand and said, "The clan leader and I will provide funds based on the actual situation in the future."
…
"What, you want money?"
In Arkham Asylum, Kakashi was sitting across from Hinata Kei in his employee uniform, and asked with some confusion: "I remember that your family gave you a lot of funds, didn't you? Have you spent all of it?"
After resigning from the ANBU responsibilities, Kakashi had nothing to do, so he agreed to Hinata Kei's invitation to come to Arkham to help.
According to Hyuga Kei, life will be richer when a person is busy.
Kakashi felt that this was just Hinata Kei simply wanting him to work in vain.
But when he thought that he had joined Hyuga Kai's organization, he had nothing to do now, and he didn't want to return to ANBU, so he agreed.
But what he didn't expect was that Hyuga Kei just suddenly came to him and asked him if he had any savings or anything.
Hinata Kei said: "Kakashi, you know. Arkham has actually been losing money."
"Now we give the orphanage a sum of money every month, and I have been visiting their homes to provide free clinics and buy them gifts."
"Usually when I treat ordinary villagers, the money I charge is nominal, basically nothing."
"Not to mention our organization. Although there are no specific actions yet, there are still daily expenses."
"I have no money." Kakashi took a deep look at Hinata Kei and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are doing secretly."
With Kakashi unable to make progress, Hinata Kei could only give up. In fact, he also felt that he had gone too far. Even if he wants Kakashi to work for nothing, he is also going to let him pay for his own experiments.
But he just gave it a try. What if Kakashi thought what he said made sense and gave it up as soon as his brain got hot?
It doesn't matter if you don't succeed. The family is the one who is being blamed anyway. If that doesn't work, you have to go to the Hokage Building.
He waved his hand and prepared to let Kakashi leave, but then a figure suddenly walked in.
The visitor ran directly to Kakashi, put his arms around Kakashi's neck, and said: "Kakashi, it turns out you are hiding here. You can't let me go today and come to have a youthful contest with me. Bar!"
This enthusiastic and positive tone has a confident tone, and as long as you feel it for a moment, you can sense his rich emotions.
There was no need to profile at all, the person coming could not be anyone else but Kakashi's best friend and lifelong enemy - Metkai.
Kakashi tried to break free from Kai's arm, but failed.
Kakashi looked helpless: "Kai, although I really want to have a battle with you, I am at work."
Kai's expression suddenly dropped, a sharp contrast from just now.
Hinata Kei looked at Kai, smiled and said, "Kai, if Kakashi is not free, do you want to have a battle with me?"
Kai looked at Hinata Kai, scratched his head and said, "Kakashi told me about you, but what is your name?"
"Hinata Kei, just call me Kei. I am Kakashi's friend, and you are Kakashi's friend, so we should also be friends."
"I remembered, it turned out to be you!" Kai glanced at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi told me not to get too involved with you."
Hinata Kai's mouth twitched and he turned to look at Kakashi. Kakashi turned his head and pretended to be in a daze.
Hinata Kei said: "We are just competing, there is nothing involved. If you agree, you can wait for me in the yard outside. I will change my clothes and come back."
Kai was full of energy. He extended his thumb towards Kai, showing his big white teeth, and said, "Kakashi, look at me! This is youth."
Kai walked out, Kakashi's expression darkened, he looked at Hinata Kei and said, "I'm warning you, you are not allowed to involve him in our affairs!"
"How could it be? I just want to fight Kai." Hinata Kei said.
Kakashi obviously didn't believe it. He knew Hinata Kei's psychological methods, so he said: "Don't try to deceive me, I will always monitor you."
"Of course, you can monitor at will." Hinata Kei said, "By the way, Kakashi, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?" Upon hearing this, Kakashi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Hinata Kei tilted his head and asked, "Do you remember how Kai's father died?"
