Chapter 149 Family Meeting

The next day, in the meeting room of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi saw that almost everyone had arrived and began to preside over the meeting.

"Everyone should know the content of this meeting. Do you have any opinions?"

Hyuga Hiashi looked at the people sitting around, especially some of the elders of the family. These people are also the backbone of the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan's industries and various ninjas are basically managed by them.

"The New Year has just passed. I feel that this new year will see a great development for our Hyuga clan. I suggest that we start to expand the power of the family."

"Yes, I agree with this. Everyone should be clear about the current situation. A new era is coming. If we don't develop at this time, it will be too late when we realize these situations."

"I also agree that the previous industries of our Hyuga clan are still too conservative. We have to take more shares, otherwise, we are unworthy of the title of the Hyuga clan."

"Although this is not wrong, have you ever thought about it? If you want to continue to expand, We have to annex the power of the forces below. It is too troublesome to annex some medium-sized families, so we can only annex some small families, but those small families..."

"You are too kind. If we don't annex them, won't they be annexed by other forces?"

"You are just making specious arguments. Annexing is simple, but what about the problems after that? How to solve them? Don't you think that we can just annex them and then don't care about anything else?"

"..."

The members of the Hyuga clan started to discuss, but the issue they were discussing was probably about how to annex those forces that were weaker than their Hyuga clan.

As for whether it can be annexed, no one said anything, or some people wanted to say it, but those people were not influential, and even if they said it, it would not be accepted by others.

"Hiashi, tell me what you think."

"Also, I heard some news that Konoha is going to deal with some issues related to communication. This is a great opportunity."

An elder of the Hyuga clan looked at Hyuga Hiashi who was sitting in the main seat. The meeting lasted for a long time, but Hyuga Hiashi didn't say a word, which made him very curious. In the past, Hyuga Hiashi was the most argumentative, especially in terms of the expansion of family power, he always opposed it.

But today, Hyuga Hiashi was a little abnormal, and he felt that there must be something going on.

"Yes, clan leader, please say something!"

"By the way, speaking of this issue, yesterday, some members of the Hyuga clan saw the dog of Uzumaki Naruto's family in the park next to Naruto's factory doing a special kind of boxing, which was similar to the soft boxing of our Hyuga clan. I wonder what the clan leader says about this matter?"

"I have heard about it too. You know, our Hyuga clan's soft boxing is only possessed by our clan in the entire ninja world. Now that it appears on a dog, it is probably only possible that it could be Hyuga Hinata..."

When some clan members said this, they stopped talking and just looked at Hyuga Hiashi.

At this time, behind Hyuga Hiashi, Neji looked at the people who said this, "What is coming is coming."

"I just heard what you said. Don't you have any other ideas?"

Hyuga Hiashi looked at everyone, his eyes full of solemnity. He had thought that there would be some changes in this matter, but now the situation is more serious than he expected. It can even be said that it has reached a situation where he will go to the abyss if he doesn't care anymore.

"Patriarch, do you have any other ideas? We are here for the development of the Hyuga clan. If you want to say that you don't agree with the expansion of the clan, then don't say it."

"Yes, the clan leader has been stopping the expansion of the clan before. If it weren't for those times, the industry of our Hyuga clan would have at least doubled now."

"What the elder Zhao Si said is right, and so is you, the clan leader. You didn't seize such a good opportunity for expansion. I don't know how you can be the clan leader."

"Elder, I mind voting to decide. The future development of our Hyuga clan will be decided this time."

"..."

At this time, some clan members began to make a fuss, especially after catching the braid of Hyuga Hiashi, they started to put pressure directly. As long as Hyuga Hiashi had any opinions, they would use the matter of Hinata and Gundam as an example.

Not to mention anything else, if Hyuga Hiashi dared to stop it, then Hyuga Hinata would be arrested for interrogation. Although it is not necessary to do anything, it is enough to restrict Hyuga Hiashi.

Ningci saw this scene and raised his hand to vote. If this is really done, what difference will his uncle have as the clan leader?

"Have you ever thought about a question, will the Konoha high-level let you do this?"

"You know the current situation, that is, they want to launch more families. Checks and balances are one aspect, and commercial development is another. After all, as long as the business is more developed, Konoha will have more tax revenue."

"But I won't tell you what will happen after you annex it. You know it in your heart."

"There is another question..."

"In the family, I will give you three days to deal with the areas under the jurisdiction of certain people and some things. If you can't handle it well, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I know what you want to say, you want to quibble, you want to have a fluke mentality, but taxation is something that you can't use with me?"

When Hyuga Hiashi talked about the issue of taxation, he directly glanced at everyone, especially some representatives of some families, and his eyes were already cold and intimidating.

After hearing Hyuga Hiashi's words, some people lowered their heads and were thinking about some problems, while some people looked unconvinced, and their eyes looked at Hyuga Hiashi differently.

"Hiashi, let's talk about those things later. Let's talk about the expansion first, and put the rest aside for now."

"Also, it's about the soft fist method."

One of the elders interrupted the tense atmosphere and pointed out that Gundam knew Tai Chi, trying to shift the focus.

Seeing this elder, Hyuga Hiashi sneered in his heart. This person has always supported expansion, and even among those who evaded taxes this time, there are people from his lineage.

"Elder Sangengsi, I'm curious, how did you say that taxes are not important?"

"What, when the people from Konoha come to you, will you go, or who will go?"

"Or are you going to fight the Anbu of Konoha, or the roots of Konoha?"

When talking about the roots, Hyuga Hiashi's tone became strong, even with a hint of teasing. These people are just good at talking, but when they really have to face the roots, it's estimated that...
