Chapter 763: Chapter – 756 A Worrisome Hizashi
Hyuga District
On the way to the mansion of Patriarch's house, Kuroto couldn't help but curiously ask Hizashi, "Why did Hiashi-sama hold a clan meeting at such a time, it makes no sense… am I missing something?"
Unless something major happened, or there was a rare event, there would be no clan meeting where all the clan members would gather, therefore, Kuroto is not sure.
Hizashi looked down, and said lightly, "I am not too sure either, just be careful, I have a bad feeling about it."
"Bad feeling?" Kuroto was startled by Hizashi's reply. He noted the solemnity on Hizashi's expression and asked again, "Did something happen?"
Hizashi was silent for a while, then he sighed tiredly, and said, "I don't know the specifics, I have only heard that the main family seems to be a little dissatisfied with Neji's performance in the assessment."
"Huh?" Kuroto was more shocked, and asked with a frown, "Dissatisfied with Neji's performance? What do you mean Hizashi-sama? Neji's performance was very good in the assessment… although he wasn't the MVP of the assessment, he still performed very well, he tied with Uchiha Sasuke's team for the second position in the assessment."
"Haha… yes he did." Hizashi chuckled while looking at Kuroto and said, "Kuroto-kun, the more I converse with you, the more proud I feel of the decision I made back then."
Kuroto was confused, "What do you mean Hizashi-sama…?"
"Nothing." Hizashi shook his head, and then without explaining anything he became quiet since the Patriarch's mansion was already in front of them.
…
Glancing at the crowded hall, Kuroto had a thoughtful expression on his face.
The scale of this meeting is somewhat beyond his expectations. Jonins, Special Jonins, Chunin, Genins, and retired shinobis, almost all the shinobi of the Hyuga Clan present in the village have gathered in the hall to attend the meeting.
'What the hell are these old men from the main family planning?' thought Kuroto with a pout as he took his seat on the futon beside Hizashi.
Not long after all the people were settled, people from the main family walked into the hall.
There were four members, except the Patriarch, and there were three other elders from the Elder Council of the Hyuga Clan, these three elders have quite a grip on the Hyuga Clan.
As the Patriarch and the three elders took their respective seats, the meeting officially began.
…
In the meeting hall, the Patriarch sat silently, from the looks of it, he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking anything. Hiashi's silent behavior caused the rest of the Hyuga Clansmen to present in the meeting hall to look at each other in dismay.
While no one was sure of what to do, one of the elders coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and spoke in a rigid tone, "The purpose of holding today's clan meeting is to discuss what happened in the recently held Ninja Academy Assessment."
"To discuss what happened in the assessment? Is it about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"Is Elder Fukiage interested in discussing the Senjutsu thing used by the Jinchruki of the Nine Tails?"
"Maybe it's about the giant beast that Uzumaki Naruto summoned… it really was massive, I wonder how strong it is?"
As soon as the elder Fukiage spoke, the Hyuga Clansmen in the meeting began to discuss various surprising things that happened in the assessment.
Elder Fukiage was annoyed at the mention of Uzumaki Naruto, he immediately raised his hand to quieten the crowd, then spoke, "The matter related to the Jincrhuriki of Nine-tails has nothing to do with the Hyuga Clan, and I haven't called everyone here to discuss anything about the fox demon… The reason all of you are here… it's related to the actions of a child named Hyuga Neji…"
Everyone frowned at the mention of Neji, one of the Jonin perhaps realized something, and asked doubtfully, "Elder Fukiage… what do you mean? Hyuga Neji's performance in the assessment was very good, he did nothing to embarrass the reputation of the clan. Although he didn't attract as much attention as Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, he still performed very well… especially when he and the other children acted together against the fake Akatsuki… that was very good."
Several others agreed with Jonin's opinion, "Yes… Neji's team almost ranked second in the assessment, there was a difference of only one scroll with the Team Ino-Shika-Cho…!"
"Humph!" Another elder sitting beside Elder Fukiage snorted coldly.
The cold snort of this elder caused everyone to shut their mouths.
Elder Fukiage coldly glanced at all the members of the branch family, and said in a stern tone, "From the perspective of a Konoha Shinobi… Neji's performance was indeed very good and worthy of praise… However… don't forget that before being a trainee of the Konoha Shinobi system, he was a member of the Hyuga Branch Family, and the mission of his very existence was to protect the main family… which is something he not only failed to do, he didn't even try to do.
Rather than protecting Hinata, Neji focused on protecting the reckless Uchiha Sasuke… which caused Hinata to fend for herself and risked her life… fortunately, this time the enemy was fake, however, what if the enemy was real? Hinata would have surely died…!"
At this time, the third elder named Hyuga Sada stood up and asked coldly Hizashi, "Hizashi… I am very curious… is your son mentally retarded that he can't even understand the basic purpose of his existence or is it because you didn't teach him well?"
Elder Sada's words caused the branch family members to swallow nervously.
In the eyes of Elder Sada, the entire purpose of the existence of the branch family is to protect the main family. The members of the main family should be put above everything; be that love, parents, friends, or village!
Faced with Elder Sada's question, Hizashi lowered his body in a dogeza, and while touching his forehead on the ground, he apologized, "Elder Sada… Elder Fukiage… Elder Aoyama… and Patriarch Hiashi-sama… Please forgive me… I am the entire reason behind Neji's failure… It's not that he is retarded or anything… the only reason he didn't protect Hinata-sama is that I didn't teach him well… so rather than it being my son's fault, it's my fault."
Looking at his younger brother apologizing while bowing his head, Hiashi had a complicated expression.
Considering his love for his younger brother, Hiashi didn't want to see the scene before him, but as the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, and the head of the main family, he has to safeguard the interest of the main family and keep the traditions in check, therefore, even if this entire meeting goes against his intention, he has to see this through.

Chapter 764: Chapter – 757 Submission?
"Elder Sada… Elder Fukiage… Elder Aoyama… and Patriarch Hiashi-sama… Please forgive me… I am the entire reason behind Neji's failure… It's not that he is retarded or anything… the only reason he didn't protect Hinata-sama is that I didn't teach him well… so rather than it being my son's fault, it's my fault." Apologized to Hizashi, taking the entire blame upon himself, hoping that his apology would quell this matter and Neji wouldn't have to bear the anger and dissatisfaction of the Elders.
Hizashi's apology and submission didn't dispel Elder Sada's dissatisfaction, while keeping Hizashi in the dogeza position, Elder Sada waved his hand toward an attendant beside him.
The attendant hurried forward and after pouring a cup of tea for Elder Sada, he retreated back.
Elder Sada raised the filled cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he spoke to Hizashi, "Hizashi… you must understand your mistake. If you of all people were to forget the purpose of the existence of a branch family member, then no matter how good you are, there is no meaning behind your existence."
A layer of sweat appeared on Hizashi's forehead as he understood the meaning behind Elder Sada's words, and he quickly nodded, "Yes… I understand."
Elder Sada added, "Very good… I do hope that your son will also understand."
Hizashi nodded hurriedly, "Yes… I will teach him in order to make sure that he doesn't make any such mistake in the future."
Because of the existence of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, the people of the main family hold the life and death of the members of the branch family in their hands. It is well understood by the branch family that no matter how strong they become, they can never escape the influence of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
So, when Elder Sada mentioned 'no meaning behind your existence', Hizashi immediately realized that Elder Sada was not using metaphor, it was a death threat.
Although there haven't been many instances of execution of branch family members inside the Hyuga Clan, it has happened a few times in the history of the Hyuga Clan for Hizashi to know that Elder Sada didn't issue an empty threat.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely quiet and depressing as other than Hizashi, several others also understood the meaning of Elder Sada.
Looking at the silent hall, where even the sound of breathing couldn't be heard, the heads of all the branch members were bent slightly downward and no one dared to even look at them, the three elders nodded to themselves.
This is the result that they wanted to see from this meeting, 'This is how the members of the branch family are supposed to live.'
In their opinion, all the members of the branch family must remain submissive to the main family. They should never question the traditions, nor should they question their purpose, they should just follow what they have been told to do without questioning anything.
As the three elders swiped their eyes through the hall, Elder Aoyama suddenly noted that one head was still not down, he was looking at everything with an expressionless face. Different from the rest of the members of the branch family, his eyes were still very clear with no trace of fear, anger, or any intent of submission.
Elder Aoyama narrowed his eyes, "Hyuga Kuroto… As Neji's Sensei, you too hold equal responsibility behind Neji's failure… Other than that, why didn't you report the entire assessment plan to the Patriarch in advance? How dare you hide the exact details from the council? Have you forgotten your purpose?!"
As soon as the name of Hyuga Kuroto came up, everyone's eyes turned toward the expressionless Kuroto. Almost all the members of the branch family were looking at Kuroto with worried expressions.
Some people sitting beside Kuroto signaled him to apologize. They believed that Elders won't embarrass him too much considering that he was the Principal of the Ninja Academy, and had a lot of prestige in Konoha.
But Kuroto paid no attention to them and remained expressionless.
At this time, one of the members of the branch family, a guy with a very weak presence named Aoki also looked at Kuroto with a thoughtful expression.
Aoki is very curious about how Hyuga Kuroto–a young and high-spirited man will respond to this situation.
Feeling everyone's gazes on him, Kuroto sighed and slowly stood up.
Seeing Kuroto's actions, Hizashi's expression changed in panic, he wanted to persuade Kuroto to not make any rash move, however, it was too late as Kuroto had already stood up.
Looking at Kuroto's expressionless face, Yui–who was sitting in one of the corners of the hall–felt nervous.
Just by looking at his expressionless face, Yui knew that Kuroto had no intention of apologizing or submitting.
She knows Kuroto's personality very well. Kuroto may seem peaceful and calm most of the time, but in reality, he is a very assertive person who would never submit to anyone, especially in unreasonable situations such as this one. But at the same time, she also fears that no matter how powerful Kuroto is, he can't resist the influence of Caged Bird Cursed Seal. That's why she is worried.
Perhaps Kuroto felt Yui's panic, she briefly looked at her with a reassuring smile, and worded silently, 'Trust me.'
After hearing him, Yui nodded lightly and hardened her expression. She is going to see this thing through, no matter the result.
Seeing Kuroto ignoring him, Elder Aoyama frowned, "Hyuga Kuroto… how dare you? Instead of submitting and apologizing for your failure… you are being disrespectful!"
In Elder Aoyama's opinion, the only thing Hyuga Kuroto should be doing at this moment is begging for his forgiveness, but here he is ignoring him! This is beyond insulting!
Hearing Elder Aoyama's words, Kuroto turned his head and scornfully looked at the old man.
Feeling Kuroto's contempt, Elder Aoyoma was angered, "How dare you!?"
Kuroto laughed menacingly, "Hahaha." And approached Elder Aoyama.
"You… what… what are you trying to do?!" Asked Elder Aoyama with a puzzled expression.
For some reason, an ominous premonition appeared in Elder Aoyama's heart as Kuroto took his first step.
