- With his connections, it's no problem whether he's dead or alive," Shenesu nodded in agreement, "Hishi-san had a lot of contacts and debtors in all areas of Konoha, and I'd bet that if there was a scuffle in Hyuga's clan quarter, the Anbu would react later than they should, showing up only to record the result.
- Not all Yamanaka have this gift, and our standard trio works well at capturing or controlling the enemy, but there are problems with searching, and having a Byakugan solves those problems," I waved my hand in the air, "but that's just a thought for the next generation.
The Hyuga are the best hunters of nukenins among all the Konohagakure no Sato clans, thanks to their ability to find a target at a distance of more than a dozen kilometers, and it's much harder to hide from such tracking than from the same Inuzuka dogs.
- The third reason is that we can remove Hyuga from his post this year or early next year if we take the white-eyed clan out of the equation, which is trying to actively interfere with our preparations," I crooked another finger, "but the Hyuga's influence is great enough to be dismissed out of hand.
- They're listened to not only by the clanless shinobi, but also by many of the smaller clans," Shenesu shook his head, "perhaps even more than the Senju, despite the latter's authority.

However, I was pretty sure that his brain was working at full speed right now, calculating the situation.
- The reasoning for the alliance is the same as the second reason, except that it's in a team format, and I don't really know what a full-fledged alliance with Hyuga means in economic terms," I said.
- And it would be nice to get the records of an old iryonin of the first degree, wouldn't it Ryo-kun? - Shenesu squinted slyly at him.
- We don't have a hospital library, and I'm slowly building up the iryonin section of the clan library in addition to what's already there, but you can never have too much knowledge, especially now that we're about to have our own iryonin clinic.
- Simply put, we've been offered everything that Nara is really interested in," my brother summarized.
- Well, that was the plan," I glanced at him, "to get him involved.
- I hear your reasoning, Ryo," the older shinobi nodded, "and before I make a final decision, I want to know how confident you are in your ability to create a working seal to meet the requirements.
And this time, it wasn't our test, the head was deadly serious.
