"As for other villages wanting to seize the Hyuga clan's bloodline, you can look at Konoha's current strength. Would those villages dare? Hokage-sama possesses even greater power than the First Hokage, but his methods are not as benevolent as the First Hokage's."
Hiashi's expression grew subtle as he said this.
In truth, he really wanted to mention Madara. After all, Madara was the Uchiha clan's ancestor, and before Kazuki appeared, Madara was the representative figure of the Uchiha clan. Even if a comparison were to be made, it should be with Madara.
However, Kazuki is the Fourth Hokage. Comparing Madara with Kazuki would be somewhat disrespectful.
What about Kazuki? Has his strength surpassed Madara's? No, to be precise, has he surpassed his predecessor?
Currently, the only one who can be compared to Kazuki is the First Hokage Hashirama. While Hashirama's strength is formidable, his mind seems a bit eccentric. Kazuki's ideology, however, is clearly sound. Having studied under Mito since childhood, he is also top-tier in politics.
A combination of Madara and Tobirama?
As long as Kazuki doesn't learn Hiruzen's weakness, everything else about him is acceptable.
And so far, Kazuki, as Hokage, has clearly been exceptionally outstanding, leading Konoha to grow stronger, and all the major clans have benefited greatly from this.
Thinking of that terrifying Hokage, many people couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
The reason they didn't oppose Rinka and Kazuki being together was precisely because Kazuki's strength was too immense, wasn't it?
Moreover, the Hyuga clan is now working for Kazuki. Of course, compared to what they've given, the benefits they've received are clearly far greater. Undoubtedly, aligning with Kazuki was the most correct choice the Hyuga clan has ever made.
"But that's just the Branch Family, what about the Main Family?"
Knowing that Kazuki was consciously pushing this matter, many in the Main Family were inclined to compromise. They still wanted to secure some benefits and status for themselves.
They couldn't possibly be expected to work like ordinary ninjas, could they?
They are the Hyuga Main Family!
It goes without saying that they would find it very difficult to give up the power they held.
Hiashi scanned the room and said in a deep voice, "Compared to ordinary branch house members, we have far more resources at our disposal. And don't forget, we all have rich management experience, so why can't we work? What's the difference between managing the Hyuga branch house and managing Konoha ninjas?"
"As long as we can show a little respect to the ninjas below us, we can manage these ninjas and civilians. The advantage we, the Main Family, have over others is our extensive management experience."
Towards the end, Hiashi couldn't help but sigh internally.
He had to say such words.
Other clans also had high-ranking members, but the Hyuga clan was simply divided into Main Family and Branch Family, while the elders of other clans had a clear path for promotion.
Compared to other clans, the Hyuga clan was simply too insular.
Moreover, ever since joining Konoha, many members of the Hyuga Main Family had begun to indulge in pleasure, even neglecting their Taijutsu training.
Hiashi said, "I'll be frank. If any of you dare to treat Konoha ninjas with an unpleasant attitude, or bully civilians, don't drag us down with you if you die. The Fourth Hokage has zero tolerance for such matters. The Fourth Hokage has a specialized inspection squad. If you're caught, he won't give you any leeway. Don't bring shame upon our Hyuga clan then."
What Konoha lacks now is talent. You can say these old geezers of the Hyuga Main Family are incompetent or wicked, but they do have experience in managing a clan, and they are the talent Konoha currently needs. This is making the best use of resources.
If these people do anything outrageous, then Kazuki won't even need to intervene, Hiashi certainly won't let them off.
No one can stop his child from becoming Rinka's disciple and then being trained by Kazuki. For the sake of his future child, Hiashi was going all out.
If Rinka can have a son, and he has a daughter in the future, she could marry Rinka's child. Then the entire Hyuga clan would belong to his grandchild.
At this moment, Hiashi's heart swelled with excitement.
...
The Hyuga clan's affairs quickly concluded without causing any impact on Konoha's situation.
And for Kazuki and Kushina, developing a Caged Bird Cursed Seal-like jutsu was not a difficult task. After all, these two are the leading Fuinjutsu masters of their generation. Moreover, they also had Tobirama assisting them.
Kazuki obtained the Caged Bird Cursed Seal from Rinka and quickly modified it.
At this point, the Hyuga clan's matter was settled for Kazuki. As for whether they would cause any trouble in the future, that was not something he was concerned with for now.
If the Hyuga clan disobeyed and caused trouble right under his nose, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them.
For Kazuki, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan were all the same. If they were obedient and showed excellent potential, he wouldn't mind promoting them. But if they were disobedient, he wouldn't mind wiping them all out.

"Kakashi, watch closely. This is Chidori, my signature Ninjutsu from my early days."
In the Uchiha clan's training ground, Kazuki's hand glowed with lightning as he demonstrated to Kakashi, who was not far away.
Kakashi watched the Chidori in Kazuki's hand with burning eyes. For some reason, he felt a strong connection to this Chidori. If was as if it was created specifically for him.
However, this Chidori seemed to be a Ninjutsu created by his teacher when he was six years old. Kakashi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
When he was six, let alone creating Ninjutsu, even learning an A-rank Ninjutsu like this put considerable pressure on him, at least this Ninjutsu had a drawback for him.
Kazuki said, "Chidori emphasizes speed and thrust, requiring extremely sharp eyesight to use."
"Although a person's reaction time can be trained accordingly, and even eyesight can be trained, without the Sharingan, Chidori still falls a little short."
Eyesight, in fact, can be trained. The Fourth Raikage is very fast, not at all inferior to Kazuki's speed after using Chidori, but the Fourth Raikage can react.
It's just that this kind of eyesight training has an upper limit.
Obito's Sharingan solved this problem very well. You could say that the Sharingan hindered Kakashi's growth. In terms of talent, Kakashi was even better than Sakumo, meaning that if Kakashi received proper training, it was not impossible for him to become another Hiruzen in the future.
In fact, among ordinary ninjas, Hiruzen was an absolute top performer. To be able to grow to Hiruzen's level was quite rare and commendable.
It was just that the Sharingan held Kakashi back, and Kakashi's mindset had problems. When he should have been growing rapidly, he chose to be decadent.
Of course, that Mangekyo Sharingan raised Kakashi's upper limit.
Kazuki was confident that he could train Kakashi to a high level, even without Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Let's look at Hashirama cells nutrient solution.
Kakashi's battle IQ is definitely top-tier in the Ninja World. If his physique and Chakra could be greatly improved, then his strength would grow at a visible speed.
Kakashi looked at the Chidori in Kazuki's hand and frowned, constantly marveling at Kazuki's control over Chakra. Kazuki could even use such an A-rank Ninjutsu without hand signs. What terrifying Chakra control this was. His teacher was indeed invincible.
Kazuki said, "However, Kakashi, you are not an Uchiha, nor do you have a Sharingan, so Chidori isn't particularly suitable for you. Therefore, I've modified Chidori. While retaining its piercing ability, it won't lose too much speed, and its control will be more precise."
Immediately after, the lightning in Kazuki's hand underwent a huge change, turning purple.
"This is…"
Kakashi stared intently at Kazuki's right hand. Hmm, this seemed to suit him even better.
"This is Purple Electricity. It's a Ninjutsu I specially created for you. Once you learn it, you can also learn Chidori Current."
"Kakashi, your talent is excellent. Besides my Sharingan and a series of other methods, in Lightning Release, you might be able to inherit my mantle."
Kazuki had many methods, but before learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he mainly practiced Lightning Release, Uchiha-style Kenjutsu, and Taijutsu.
He could not teach Uchiha-style Kenjutsu to Kakashi, but he could teach Kakashi the Kenjutsu he had developed. Without the Sharingan, Kakashi would not be able to unleash the full power of Uchiha-style Kenjutsu. However, Kakashi could learn Konoha-style Kenjutsu and some of the Kenjutsu Kazuki had researched. Coupled with Kakashi's existing White Fang-style Kenjutsu, the future Kakashi would very likely surpass Sakumo.
