Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Chapter 1791 Preparing Gifts

"However, my elder brother is determined to maintain his relationship with the Cloud Clan, so we'll have to wait a while before discussing it further."

"This...won't that give Neji bad ideas? I can't sacrifice my child for the sake of the clan's development!"

Hizashi chuckled after hearing this: "What are you thinking? This trip to the Cloud Clan might actually give Neji a better chance to develop. So I suggest that Hinata go along too. If Lord Torifu takes a liking to Hinata, maybe Neji won't be needed anymore."

Hizashi's wife also didn't quite understand these things: "Oh well, as long as it doesn't harm Neji, anything is fine."

"Brother, you should discuss this matter. Why are you being so stubborn? You must come along with us. Don't let the two children anger Lord Qufeng."

Hizashi waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry, Lord Tokiwa is of such high status, how could he possibly harm a child?"

Hizashi's wife thought about it and agreed: "Sigh, I was worrying for nothing. Lord Tofu certainly wouldn't do that."

"Speaking of which, when did you go?"

Ri Cha calculated: "My brother said he'd find a good day, probably in the next day or two. I know his personality; he definitely can't wait."

"Don't let him hear you say that, or he'll get angry."

"Haha, this is something only my husband and I know, no one else will know."

"By the way, why hasn't Neji come back yet? He's still training with Taro."

Hizashi didn't see his son when he got home. His son hadn't officially started ninja training yet; he was only doing some taijutsu training.

Taro could spar with him, and as they grew, the two of them grew together like partners.

They might become inseparable partners in the future, so Hizashi always emphasized not to let Neji be too arrogant or treat Taro as a superior or subordinate.

Hizashi was fortunate to have done so. Two days ago, he inadvertently checked on Taro and discovered that his chakra had increased significantly, and he was now at the genin level.

This child's talent is average, so this sudden growth must be because Lord Qufeng gave him something, most likely chakra herbs.

If it really is a chakra herb, then it means that the child's talent has also been enhanced.

Originally, his talent was above average, but after being upgraded once, it is now at least top-tier.

He will definitely be a pillar of the Hyuga clan in the future. If Neji's arrogance causes him to develop negative feelings towards the clan, it would be a case of losing more than he gains.

Fortunately, although Neji was highly talented, Hizashi often admonished him, telling him never to be arrogant.

This fostered Neji's humble personality, preventing him from being overly flamboyant.

"Neji said he'll be back late today because he's going to Taro's house for dinner, and told us not to worry about him."

Hizashi was relieved after hearing this: "That's good. It's good to get along well with Taro. The family is doing well now. Hyuga Gen was sent to work in the back mountain by Lord Torifu, and his son has also improved his talent."

"In the future, I will have a greater say in the family."

The wife, however, didn't seem to care: "I don't care about these things. Their family is quite nice, and I'm happy to get along with them. If they were difficult to get along with, I wouldn't tolerate it."

"That makes sense, just do it this way."

His wife glanced at the sirens and a smile appeared on her face: "Alright, go wash your hands and eat, I'm getting a little hungry."

"Eh."

……

A week later, the Hyuga clan head's house was bustling with activity. Many elders gathered there, and even the clan's treasury was opened.

All sorts of items were moved out of the room like a flowing stream.

But none of the people present felt any heartache; this was a price that had to be paid for the development of the family.

"Elder, do we really have enough of this? I feel like we need to add some more."

Looking at the gift list, Hiashi asked with some uncertainty.

The elder shook his head: "No need, clan leader, it's more than enough. It's enough in terms of both face and substance. This is almost enough to empty the Hyuga clan's coffers."

To avoid drawing attention, the Hyuga clan specifically used a sealing scroll, the latest technology developed by the Land of Whirlpools, to store these items.

These were all intended to be given to the Cloud Clan in exchange for an opportunity for the clan's development.

The main goal is to obtain opportunities that can generate long-term benefits, and these opportunities must be stable.

Otherwise, without a stable income, the family will always face significant risks.

Nowadays, the clan has very few sources of income. They mainly rely on the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan to perform various miscellaneous tasks in order to earn money.

However, none of these are very reliable. What the Hyuga clan wants is something similar to the Sarutobi clan.

"Lord Qufeng probably won't accept it, otherwise it would leave a bad reputation in the village. Besides, the Yunzhong clan is very wealthy and wouldn't care about our small amount of money."

"In the end, it will all be returned to us. It's just a formality, so we must save face."

The elder hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then immediately nodded in agreement: "Alright, then let's move some more!"

Rizu immediately called on his people to continue moving things. After moving for about half a day, they finally felt that it was almost done.

The Hyuga clan was also almost entirely emptied out.

"Well, whether we can succeed or not depends on this. I hope our Hyuga clan can have a good outcome."

Rizu was also a little nervous; he was genuinely worried that Lord Qufeng wouldn't agree to their request.

At that time, the Hyuga clan could only continue to struggle and fight like this. If they weakened even slightly in a certain generation, they might simply disappear forever.

After all, the family currently has no stable and continuous source of funding.

"Father, what are we doing?"

Hinata looked at the lively scene in her house and wondered what was going on.

Hiashi picked her up and said, "We're going to visit a very important person in a little while. You'll be coming along too. Be sure to be polite, understand?"

Hinata's eyes darted around after hearing this, then she nodded and said, "I understand. I'll definitely be good, Daddy, don't worry."

He has complete confidence in his daughter.

"Okay, then Father trusts Hinata. Go back quickly and ask your mother to dress you up and make you look beautiful."

"Alright! I'm off right now! Father, wait for me!"

After Hinata left, Hiashi put away the sealing scroll.

"Don't tell anyone about this. We will also secretly travel to the Cloud Clan and try our best not to be discovered."

The elders all nodded: "Chief, we understand."
