"An alliance?"
Even Sasuke Uchiha's usually expressionless face showed a look of utter bewilderment.
Currently, he is the only member of the Uchiha clan still attending the Ninja Academy, not even a formal ninja. What reason would the Hyuga clan have to ally with him? What could they possibly gain from him?
This unexpected windfall made Sasuke suspicious. Although he always talked about the glory of the Uchiha clan, deep down he knew that he was currently of no value.
“Yes, an alliance,” Hyuga Kaze said with a serious expression. “The alliance between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans means that our two clan leaders have become sworn brothers.”
After a pause, Hyuga Kaze explained, "I understand. You're wondering why the Hyuga clan would ally with the Uchiha clan, which only has you now, right?"
I don't mind being frank, but in terms of clan strength alone, the Hyuga clan really doesn't need to form an alliance with the current Uchiha clan.
However, the Hyuga family values your future even more!
I believe that with your talent, your future potential is limitless.
So you can think of this as an investment.
Hinata Kaze's words were sweet, and his judgment was excellent; even Sasuke couldn't help but be a little tempted.
Of course, he wasn't completely carried away by his own thoughts, and he still asked his own question.
"What can I gain from such an alliance?"
Although he is eager to improve his strength, Sasuke is not yet the kind of person who will be willing to risk his body to become stronger.
"What you can get will be beyond your imagination. Don't rush, let me analyze it for you slowly."
Hyuga Kaze ignored the Root's surveillance and the students and teachers watching from the sidelines, and started talking freely right in front of the ninja academy.
"First of all, it's the Uchiha clan's assets."
Even after a terrible battle, such a large clan couldn't possibly have all its ninjutsu scrolls, ninjutsu notebooks, silver notes, gold and silver, and storage scrolls destroyed, could it?
About half of the Uchiha clan's territory was undamaged, so who took all those things?
If you could get these things back, wouldn't you have a clearer direction for improving your strength?
Hinata Kaze added in his mind, "The ones I took were to prevent Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others from taking them."
At this point, it felt like dozens of thunderbolts were exploding in Sasuke's mind.
Right, such a large family, do they really not have any ninjutsu scrolls left?
The teachers, students, and other people around them also had complicated expressions, and their eyes were filled with sympathy as they looked at Sasuke.
Hyuga Kaze continued, "And the Uchiha clan's lands, I heard the village is going to reclaim and develop them, but how does the village calculate the value of these properties?"
That's a lot of money. Ninjutsu training also requires resources. With money, your training will be much smoother.
Even if it's free, you can exchange the value of your clan's land for guidance from an expert.
"Right now, you're the only one left in the Uchiha clan, and you have no one to guide you. But Konoha has many Jonin; wouldn't their guidance improve your strength?"
Hinata Kaze guided him step by step, her tone like that of a legendary demon tempting people to fall.
Hearing Hyuga Kaze's words, Sasuke trembled with excitement. It was as if he had seen a new world and finally found a direction to improve his strength.
After a long while, Sasuke finally managed to suppress his excitement and asked, "Your analysis was very useful. What do you hope to get from me in the future?"
"What an honest kid," Hinata thought to himself.
"As I said before, we two clan leaders have become sworn brothers. There's no need for brothers to discuss things too clearly. Let's wait until you've grown up before we talk about anything else."
Although the Hyuga clan has difficulty mastering elemental ninjutsu, they have amassed a collection of ninjutsu scrolls over the years. I can give you one after we form an alliance; it would be a practical investment.
Hyuga Kaze's generosity surprised Sasuke and the teachers and students watching from the sidelines, who began to whisper among themselves, though the atmosphere remained peaceful.
However, this peaceful atmosphere was shattered the next moment.
"Hyuga Kaze, what exactly do you intend to do?!"
A frustrated voice rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound to see the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Homura Mitokado rushing over in a hurry.
Their appearance instantly silenced the previously noisy school gate.
"Elder Mitomon's words puzzle me. What's wrong with the Hyuga clan allying with the Uchiha clan to analyze the situation for him and seek some justice, considering they are both families with ocular jutsu?"
"What Uchiha clan? There's only one person who calls himself a clan!"
Mitokado Homura rushed over and stopped. Upon hearing Hinata Kaze's words, he didn't think much before blurting out his rebuttal.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's expression turned extremely ugly.
Hyuga Kaze sensed a drastic change in the expressions of the teachers and students at the Ninja Academy, and some clan ninjas hidden among the crowd also had complex emotions.
"inflammation!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart tightened, and he stopped his old friend from speaking. Just as he was about to speak up to smooth things over, Hyuga Kaze exclaimed in surprise.
"What! A family doesn't count if it's just one person?"
Does Elder Mitomon mean that each family should prioritize its own survival?
After all, if a clan has too few members, the village won't recognize it as a clan and can directly confiscate its territory, ninjutsu, and resources.
Hinata Kaze uttered a string of sarcastic and scathing remarks, causing the onlookers to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and his companions with uncertain expressions and suspicion.
