Hearing Hyuga Kaze's threatening words, Hyuga Hiashi remained unmoved. He turned around coldly without saying a word and started to walk out.
There were members of the Wings of Light guarding outside who had escorted him there, so they would naturally take him back to the dungeon.
In the instant he turned around, Hiashi's eyes subtly swept over his two daughters, a hint of pain flashing in them, along with some indescribable emotions.
"Father!"
Hinata was afraid she would never see Hiashi again, and despite her timid nature, she couldn't help but cry out.
Her small body trembled violently, as if she could not withstand any more blows.
Hearing his daughter's sorrowful cries, Hiashi Hyuga's tall figure paused. He stood there for a long time before finally slowly turning around.
Hinata's face was full of anticipation. She knew that the main clan had failed and accepted her future fate of serving the new clan leader.
Now all she wants is for her family to be together and live a peaceful life.
Seeing Hiashi Hyuga's reaction, Kaze Hyuga sat up straight, waiting for his reply.
Behind Hyuga Kaze, Hanabi's eyes were sharp, and her chubby little fists were clenched.
This guy's attention seems to have shifted. If I launch a sneak attack, can I succeed?
Under Hyuga Kaze's surprised gaze, Hyuga Hiashi looked at his two daughters and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, "As a loser, I'm afraid I have little value left."
As the head of the main branch, there are certain responsibilities I must bear, but let those end with me.
"Hinata, Hanabi," Hiashi Hyuga gazed at his remaining family members with kind and ardent eyes, "From now on, you must listen to me and serve the new clan leader."
Then, forget about me, forget about the main family, and protect yourselves.
Hanabi was stunned by these words, and her attack, which was about to be launched, froze. Why did her father give up so easily? What was the point of her resistance?
"I will be obedient and serve Lord Feng well. Father, can you stay?"
Hinata felt a warmth from Hiashi that she hadn't felt in years, and she was even more excited.
Hyuga Kaze glanced back at Hanabi's small hand, gave her a meaningful look, and then said to Hiashi:
"You've surprised me a bit."
Hiashi Hyuga gave a wry smile. "In the face of your strength and talent, the entire main family, including myself, is insignificant. But a family's hundreds or thousands of years of heritage always has some essence."
Hinata and her sister looked at each other, completely bewildered. They couldn't understand how the topic had jumped to this point.
“Every family has its own way of surviving.”
Leaving aside the more distant history, how many ninja clans perished starting from the end of the Warring States period?
The Uchiha clan, once the most powerful clan in Konoha, was known for its aggressive approach to governance, but now it has declined to the point of near extinction.
If it weren't for what happened that night, how many people would still be alive?
As for my Hyuga clan, while the main family and the Caged Bird Seal are unfair in some ways, they have indeed ensured the long-term continuation of the clan. I just never expected this unexpected turn of events.”
As if pouring out his pent-up emotions, Hiashi Hyuga spoke a whole bunch of things in one breath, and then sighed.
"Forget it, you probably don't want to hear what a loser like me has to say."
Please treat Hinata and the others well from now on, and lead the Hyuga clan in a better direction.
Hinata Kaze shrugged and chuckled a few times.
"Treat them well; they're my maids now. You should know what kind of treatment maids receive, right?"
"Of course I know that maids are usually punished however their masters want, and they are often played with at will."
Seemingly relieved of the burden of being the clan leader and no longer needing to bear the weight of the Hyuga clan's centuries-old prestige, Hyuga Hiashi felt he had broken through taboos and could now say things he would never have dared to say before without any restraint.
"So, you don't mind that Hinata and Hanabi were played with by me, your enemy, and that they got pregnant and gave birth?"
Hiashi Hyuga's cheeks twitched a few times, but a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"For a family, the most important thing is always the continuation of the bloodline."
For the Hyuga clan's bloodline to continue, intermarriage within the clan is necessary.
Your talent goes without saying; Hinata and Hanabi are excellent choices for you among the women of the Hyuga clan.
Although Hinata's personality is too gentle and her talent is average, she is still qualified as a concubine.
Hanabi has both great talent and a great personality.
They are all girls, and their original purpose is to get married and have children. Serving you and bearing your children, how different is that from getting married for them?
Moreover, aren't the children they give birth to my grandchildren by blood?
Didn't they roll their eyes?
Isn't this the legacy of the Hyuga family?
As an incompetent clan leader, I failed to lead the clan to prosperity. If my grandson could become the clan leader, commanding an even stronger Hyuga clan and leading everyone to a better life, I would have no regrets.
In this way, I, the incompetent former head of the Hyuga clan, can be considered to have made a small contribution to the clan.
Entrusting one's daughter to the enemy who defeated him, to bear his children, is not a good choice for a father.
However, this was the best plan that the Hyuga clan head could make for his daughter's survival, and it was also an opportunity for him to become an elder of Hyuga Kaze in terms of bloodline ethics.
So at this point, Hiashi Hyuga's smile almost carried a hint of victory, making Hyuga Kaze grit his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear to give up your two daughters, do you think you could be so arrogant here?
Listening to the conversation between the two, Hanabi felt a little itchy in her head. So this is how you can win?
She stared at Hinata Kaze's back and started imagining things: If I were to have this guy's child in the future, would bening him a few times a day be considered revenge?
Hinata Hyuga's body trembled uncontrollably on Hinata Kaze's other shoulder. Suddenly, she cried out "Ah!" and fainted on Hinata Kaze's body.
Hinata was already incredibly shy serving Hyuga Kaze in front of Hyuga Hiashi, massaging his legs and shoulders, but she could barely endure it for her father's safety.
As for getting married, which was already very stimulating for Hinata, the idea of having a child was completely beyond Hinata's mental capacity, and she could only protect herself by falling into a coma.
Hiashi's words reminded Hyuga Kaze of a phrase: passing on the torch.
As expected, clans that have survived in the dangerous ninja world all have their own methods. No one should be underestimated; perhaps they still have some value to be used.
"Since you've thought this far, shouldn't you stay and serve me?"
"After all, I was once the clan chief. How could I possibly lead the way in surrendering? If you want me to serve you, you'd better get through the pressure from the village first."
After saying this, Hiashi Hyuga turned and left without saying another word.
"Heh, betting on both sides, huh?" Hyuga Kaze sneered as he watched Hiashi's departing figure.
Schemes and calculations are useful, but they shouldn't be relied upon. Hyuga Kaze clenched his fist. Compared to that, I trust my own hands more!
