Chapter 69: Abandonment

After leaving Haku's home, everyone said their goodbyes and went home.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was night!

In the Hokage office, the Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage, Kakashi, Obito, Rin, Nara Shikaku, and Kushina had already arrived! The other Kage had returned to their respective villages to hold the fort. The experiments of the past two days had proven there were no major issues, and from today on, it would be broadcast to the entire ninja world.

Taking a deep breath, Kushina said slowly: "Are you ready, Kurama?"

"Hmph." As always, the Nine-Tails remained as arrogant as ever, not answering Kushina's question, only offering a cold sneer.

Kushina knew this was the Nine-Tails' way of saying it was ready. Having lived with the Nine-Tails for so long, Kushina could grasp its basic expressions.

Kurama's chakra began to be injected. This time, the amount injected was much more than the previous two days. Under Kurama's frantic injection, large screens began to appear in various places across the ninja world. After a pause, images began to slowly appear on the screens.

【The scene was an arena with three people standing on it; one of them was Uzumaki Naruto, and the other two were somewhat unfamiliar.】

"This should be during the Chunin Exams!" As a reborn person, Nara Shikaku was the first to explain: "This match is Uzumaki Naruto versus Hyuga Neji." Everyone nodded and continued watching!

【"Now, the first round of the match, begin!" Shiranui Genma said. But strangely, the two didn't immediately attack each other, instead watching each other cautiously!】

"The Chunin Exams, huh! How nostalgic!" Obito said, looking at the ceiling!

"Indeed! I remember when you participated in the Chunin Exams for the first time, you were holding candy in your mouth, accidentally choked on it while using Fire Style, and were finally kicked away by Might Guy!" Kakashi replied with a dark sense of humor.

"....... Kakashi! Are you going home alone tonight?" Obito said with a sour expression.

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Kakashi said.

"You know, ever since I met you, I've always wanted to find a place with no one around, put you in a sack, and beat you up!"

"Rin, did you hear that! If I get put in a sack in the future, it must be Obito's doing!" Kakashi looked at Rin on the side and said.

"No infighting, please, Obito, Kakashi," Rin laughed on the side.

Everyone smiled slightly upon hearing their conversation.

【"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms." Neji smiled evilly, using the ninjutsu passed down through generations in the Hyuga clan.】

"Is this the future Neji?" In the Hyuga clan grounds, everyone in the Hyuga clan was watching the video. Hyuga Neji had already been born by now. Hyuga Hizashi had already learned about the reborn people from his brother Hyuga Hiashi, but seeing his grown child for the first time, he still felt an extra sense of closeness.

"Yes," Hyuga Hiashi said on the side!

At this time, Hyuga Hiashi was not yet the clan head, and he was powerless to resolve the conflict between the Main Family and the Branch Family of the Hyuga clan.

His stubborn father insisted on this system. Even with the support of the reborn Hyuga Hiashi, he still couldn't shake his father's position. Moreover, this was a clan rule, and the village and the ninja world found it inconvenient to intervene, so Hyuga Hiashi had been dragging it out.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity!" Hyuga Hiashi thought secretly.

【Uzumaki Naruto was knocked down instantly, and his chakra points were sealed, but the tenacious Naruto gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up! At this moment, the image of Hinata vomiting blood but still fighting hard flashed through Naruto's mind.】

"Could this girl be Hinata?" The memories of the reborn were limited; after the Fourth Shinobi World War, daily memories were very scarce. In the current ninja world, except for Minato, no one knew who Naruto's wife was! Seeing this figure, Minato thought to himself!

"It seems this girl and Naruto have a good relationship!" Kushina said! As the saying goes, mother and child are connected; even if Kushina didn't know Hinata's identity, she felt that this person was very important to Naruto!

At this moment, in the Hyuga clan grounds, Hyuga Hizashi's face was very ugly. Being intelligent, he guessed immediately that the one who hurt Hyuga Hinata was Hyuga Neji! As a member of the Branch Family, he should be protecting the Main Family, but Neji...

"Sorry, brother," Hyuga Hizashi said.

"It doesn't matter! In the ninja exams, getting hurt is a very normal thing!" Hyuga Hiashi said: "Besides, they fought side by side later, and even to save Hinata, Neji he..." Hyuga Hiashi didn't continue, but Hyuga Hizashi already knew what his brother was going to say!

【In the video, Neji began to recount the conflict between the Branch Family and the Main Family of the Hyuga clan.】

Seeing the curse mark on Neji's forehead, Hyuga Hizashi's face was very ugly. Being bound by the Main Family was one thing, but even his own son...

Seeing his brother's expression, how could Hyuga Hiashi not know what he was thinking! He gently patted Hyuga Hizashi's shoulder with his right hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, Hizashi. We will definitely be able to change the fate of the Hyuga clan. In the future, when our children grow up, they will definitely be able to grow up in a new environment."

Hyuga Hizashi knew his brother's thoughts and nodded firmly!

"Shouldn't we think of a way to help Hyuga Hiashi?" In the Hokage office, Rin saw Neji's memories in the video and said with some intolerance!

"This is, after all, their clan's regulation. It's hard for us outsiders to intervene!" The Third Hokage knew well about this regulation of the Hyuga clan, but he had no way to change it, so he could only take a deep drag of his pipe and say!

"We may not be able to change their decision, but we can influence their decision!" Obito thought for a moment and said!

"What method is that! Tell me quickly, Obito," Rin said excitedly upon hearing Obito's words!

"Obito wants to say we should use public opinion, right?" Kakashi glanced at Obito and said!

"What is that?" Kushina wasn't very good at using her brain; for things she didn't understand, she asked directly!

"After today's video, Konoha, and even the ninja world, will be talking about this Hyuga regulation. We can use some people to guide this public opinion, pointing the finger directly at the current Hyuga clan head, forcing him to step down, and letting the reborn Hyuga Hiashi take the stage! I think Hiashi also hopes to abolish this treaty," Nara Shikaku said.

Kakashi lowered his head, his face looking a bit ugly. His father had committed suicide under the pressure of public opinion! Obito and Rin, on either side, patted his shoulders with one hand each, looking at him with some worry!

Kakashi turned his head, smiled, and nodded at them, signaling he was fine!

In the memory world, it wasn't just Naruto who was in pain; Kakashi was one of them too. His mother died early, his father committed suicide in his childhood, his teammates died sacrificing themselves to save him, and he had killed his own teammates with his own hands! Finally, even his teacher and teacher's wife both passed away!

Under the pressure of so many things, he had long since learned to hide and heal himself!

【After Naruto erupted with the Nine-Tails, he successfully defeated Hyuga Neji.】

Very enthusiastic applause and cheers came from the square. As the video played, Naruto's fans grew more and more numerous...

After a brief pause, the video continued to play...
