The door to the meeting office opened as all the clan leaders walked out one by one. Most of them then began to walk in groups, showing that even amongst clan leaders, there are different social groups. For example, the leaders of the Ino–Shika–Chō clans were the most obvious choice. Then there were the Inuzuka clan and the Aburame clan, who made their own small social circle. Of course, we also can't forget the Sarutobi and Shimura clans that were barely holding on and are disliked by many clans.
After all, the Sarutobi clan leader is still our most favorite and self-proclaimed strongest third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Many clan leaders were very disappointed with his past actions, so they decided to ignore him completely.
Hiruzen, who had noticed this, could only grit his teeth in regret and leave the Hokage building as soon as possible with the Shimura clan leader, who dared not open his mouth in fear.
Their situation is far worse than that of the Sarutobi clan. After all, the Sarutobi clan at least had the former Third Hokage to hold the fort, but for them, there is no single influential person who could protect them in the clan. Their only hope is the third Hokage, who is still taking care of them. If it were not for him, the Shimura clan may have had to face the same experience as the Uchiha clan faced in the original story a few years from now.
Hiashi walked out of the meeting room with Fugaku next to him. Yes, although this may sound surprising but the Uchiha and Hyūga clans belong to one social circle. After all, one is a clan full of people who have faces that look like they have stiff muscles, and the other is a clan full of people who have faces like everyone owes them money.
And besides this, as part of the two major clans, they didn't want to socialize with other clans unnecessarily, as it may lead to unnecessary complications. Well, although now with Tsunade in power, this may not be necessary, past habits are very hard to change. After all, they had to do this for at least three decades in fear that one of Konoha's corrupt 4 might suddenly turn their attention towards them and suppress them more excessively while spouting nonsense like ' It's all for Konoha.'
Just as Hiashi was about to say farewell to Fugaku, a Hyūga clan member who had been waiting for a long time came towards him and whispered some words into his ear.
Fugaku, who was about to leave, watched with interest and curiosity as the usually stone-faced Hiashi's face began to turn from shock into happiness, and then into fear, and then into anger. In just a short while, Hiashi's face had changed into various expressions, attracting others and making everyone wonder what happened.
"You idiot, you should have informed me earlier." Hiashi angrily scolded the clan member, who just looked down and didn't dare to meet the clan leader's bloodshot eyes.
But before anyone could ask what happened, Hiashi said a few words of parting before running out of the Hokage building at full speed.
"What happened to him? Did something happen in the Hyūga clan? " Tsunade, who had just come out of the meeting room, asked in wonder.
Unfortunately, nobody could answer her question, as they themselves were curious as to what happened.

It didn't take long for Hiashi to come back to the Hyuga clan. After he arrived, he quickly found out the guest room where Izanami was and rushed towards there immediately.
He was already sweating from all the running, but he didn't care about that now. His first priority now is to greet Lady Izanami immediately.
He didn't want his delay to be the cause of the Hyuga clan becoming the next Shimura and Sarutobi clans.
Arriving at the door, Hiashi took a deep breath to calm himself down and knocked on the door gently.
Although it is his house and he could enter without knocking, he really didn't dare to neglect even the basic etiquette.
"Come in. " After a few seconds, Izanami's voice came from the other side.
Hiashi opened the door and was surprised to see another person sitting next to Lady Izanami.
"Hinami, why are you here? " he asked in a calm tone. There was no change of expression on his face. For outsiders, it may look like Hiashi was blaming Hinami for being here, but in actuality, he was just asking why Hinami was with Izanami.
As his uncle, he knew Hinami very well. This niece of his is really a big troublemaker whom he loves and hates. He is annoyed by her constant pranks but grateful to her because she is the person who took care of his stupid daughter.
"Greetings, patriarch, " Hinami standing up and bowing to Hiashi as per family rules.
" Hmm, " Hiashi nodded and then turned to look at Izanami, who seemed to have a disappointed expression.
Hiashi's heart nearly left his body. He was very scared right now. Why is Lady Izanami disappointed? Would she get angry and take her anger out on the Hyuga clan?
As these thoughts ran through Hiashi's mind, he heard Hinami speaking, " Since the patriarch had already arrived, I will take my leave. It was a pleasure speaking with you, Lady Izanami. "
"Yes, I am very glad to meet you too. If you want, you can come to my place for dinner, " Izanami said with a smile.
"Yes, I would love that. " Hinami also smiled and left the room.
It was only after she left that Hiashi broke out from his negative thoughts. He quickly calmed himself and gestured to Izanami to take a seat.
"So, Lady Izanami, might I ask you the reason for your sudden visit to the Hyuga clan? " Hiashi asked with a serious expression.
"Well, at first I just came here to discuss a small business opportunity with the Hyuga clan, " Izanami said as she reverted to her business-like smile. Her true plan was to come here and use this as an excuse to meet Hiashi. Then she would use her hypnotic abilities to make him think that his daughter would be more protective while being with Naruto. And with this, at Hiashi's own suggestion, Hinata would make contact with Naruto, and their relationship would grow way earlier than in the original story.
But after meeting Hinami, she decisively decided to change her plans. Now she decided to go with an even crazier plan. After all, she still remembered the future where those elders showed great malice towards Hinami.
Izanami is a very petty and overprotective person. How could she let those guys have peace of mind when they dared try to do something like this?
"But now I'm here to give you a very good deal for you, Hiashi, and the clan." Izanami said with a grin.
