I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 217 217. The retired third generation Hokage

After hearing the conversation between Hinata and Hanabi, Hinata Hiashi looked up at the sky.

After issuing an order to the branch family to prohibit publicity about Hinata's awakening of the Corpse Vein, Hinata Hinata looked at his eldest daughter and said slowly: "Hinata, come with me."

Hinata looked at Hinata and Hinata's back, and followed him to the clan's old house without changing her expression.

Sitting on the floor, Hinata and Hinata stared at Hinata and asked unhurriedly: "Hinata, when did you awaken the corpse veins? Do you still have any impressions?"

Hinata shook her head: "Father, I don't know."

Hinata didn't want to tell her father about the pendant, so she wanted to use it as a excuse.

Hinata Hinata examined Hinata for a while, and realized that Hinata must have been hiding something from him. He sighed softly and said, "Your awakening of the Corpse Vein Bloodsequence must be related to Naruto."

Hinata's eyes were a little dodgey: "No... I haven't seen Naruto-kun for a long time."

Seeing this scene, Hinata and Hinata immediately understood everything. Hinata's body must have something to do with Naruto. The boy who dared to leave Konoha at a young age always reminded him of the four years ago. On behalf of the Hokage.

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you..."

After sighing softly, Hinata Hiashi's face turned serious: "But Hinata, are you ready to become the heir to the clan?"

Hinata clenched her fists, raised her head and said, "Father, can't we really give the inheritance to Hanabi? Hinata has no interest in becoming the head of the family."

Hinata Hiashi shook his head: "From the moment you exposed the corpse blood inheritance, even if you want to give up the position of heir, you can't give up. The future of the Hyuga clan is tied to you."

Hinata's expression dimmed: "Father, is there really no other way? You probably don't want to see Hanabi being engraved with the Caged Bird Curse Seal."

Recalling what happened over the years, Hinata understood that her father did not want to see her and her sister being engraved with the Caged Bird Curse Seal, otherwise he would not delay the decision of heir.

Hinata Hizashi smiled: "It's not that there is no way. I have always wanted to abolish the caged bird system, but I don't have the strength and prestige. If it is Hinata, there may be a way to abolish the caged bird system in the future."

"Me?" Hinata was still a little unsure, and her voice became softer unconsciously.

Hinata Hiashi nodded: "Hinata, your performance today makes my father very satisfied. With both corpse veins and Byakugan, your strength will not be inferior to the Sannin in the future. If you want to change the caged bird system, the obstacles will definitely be much smaller. .”

After a pause, Hinata Hizu continued:

"Starting from today, in addition to the ninja school courses, I will also teach you how to become the head of the family, and teach you how to use the power of the corpse veins. You have always wanted to protect the child Hanabi."

"Naruto will be very happy to know that you have become the head of the family."

After thinking for a moment, Hinata nodded. She did not want to become the head of the Hyuga clan.

But if she can protect her sister and get Naruto-kun's approval, she is willing to give it a try. It would be too cowardly to always hide behind others.

…

The news that the Hyuga clan confirmed the heir to the clan quickly spread throughout the Konoha Ninja Village.

Apart from the surprise that it was Hinata, the eldest daughter, who inherited the clan title instead of Hanabi, the second daughter, who was surprised, this news did not cause much of a stir in the village.

The Hyuga clan has always maintained a low profile and mystery, and confirming the heir is not a big deal.

Even if a few caring people noticed that Hanabi was not engraved with the Caged Bird Curse Seal, they didn't pay much attention to it. It was nothing more than a power struggle within the Hyuga clan.

At a time when the Fifth Hokage is about to reform various departments, it is natural for the Hyuga clan to make changes.

The little girl who usually stayed with Hinata noticed the changes in Hinata. Hinata, who had always been silent, seemed to become more cheerful, and her temperament was also changing.

"Hinata, have you forgotten that fox? Your complexion has improved a lot."

"No, I'm just the same as before."

Hinata didn't notice this, she just lay on the table and fell asleep.

After being trained as the heir of the clan, she didn't have much time to rest and could only occupy a little time in class. Naruto-kun seemed to have done the same at the beginning.

It seemed that Naruto-kun must have been very busy at that time, hiding many secrets, and he finally caught up.

…

Inside Sarutobi's station.

The third-generation Hokage, who has retired, is taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard. After passing the position of Hokage to Jiraiya and Tsunade, he no longer interferes with major affairs in the village and only thinks about cultivating young people. and elderly care.

At this moment, a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan appeared in front of the Third Hokage and reported: "Master Hiruzen, this is a summary of the events in the village in the past few days. Please take a look."

The Third Hokage turned around and looked helplessly at Sarutobi Jonin: "How many times have I told you, I am no longer Hokage. Don't send this information to me. If you have anything to do, go to Jiraiya to handle it. He That’s the Hokage.”

Sarutobi Jonin lowered his head so that his face could not be seen clearly:

"Clan leader, the Godaime reformed the ANBU after he succeeded to the throne. Many of the ninjas of the clan were squeezed out of the ANBU. Now they have to accept commissions to make a living. If this continues, the Sarutobi clan will become a second-rate ninja clan. "

The Third Hokage continued to take care of the flowers and plants, and said disapprovingly: "Those positions can only be filled by the Hokage's close associates. You are too greedy. The Sarutobi clan should also return to its original position."

Sarutobi Jonin's expression changed slightly, and he continued: "But the Fifth Generation Hokage is your disciple. It was you who gave up the position of Hokage so that Jiraiya could become the Fifth Hokage. This position was given up by us, Sarutobi!"

"enough!"

The Third Hokage's face showed a warm expression: "The position of Hokage does not belong to the Sarutobi clan, but to the entire Konoha Ninja Village. If you have to give it up, it was the Second Generation who gave it up to someone other than Senju."

"That's what I say, but what the Godaime did is not too much. He and Tsunade Hime also want to carry out reforms in the village, suppress all major ninja clans, support civilian ninjas, and threaten the daimyo. If this continues If reforms continue indiscriminately, the village will be in great trouble sooner or later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Jonin consciously left the small courtyard, leaving only the lifted leaves in place.

The Third Hokage frowned and thought for a long time, and finally picked up the information sent by Sarutobi Jonin and read it carefully.

It is a good thing for Jiraiya and Tsunade to reform, and Konoha has reached a time when it needs reform, but the reform cannot be too radical, otherwise it will cause a backlash from the Ninja clan, especially the Ninja clan that occupies huge interests.

But after reading the information, the Third Hokage fell into deep thought and could no longer remain calm.
