Chapter 808: Chapter – 801 A Letter?
Konoha publicized the cause of Mizuki's death as a sudden illness, and only the members of the council were aware of the exact reason behind Mizuki's sudden death. This was done by Hokage-sama in order to cover up the events that happened at the Council.
After all, if people were to learn about what happened at the Council, not only Konoha's reputation be affected, but the Hyuga Clan would also become nothing more than a laughingstock.
Therefore, as per Sandaime Hokage-sama's instruction, the events that occurred at the Council were kept secret among the members of the Council, and everyone acted as if the meeting didn't even occur.
Of course, even if the village tries to cover up things and tries to suppress the matter, some things just can't be avoided. The impact of the ridiculous farce had started to ferment in the hearts of all members of the council.
Members of the Council have come to realize that Hyuga Kuroto is not an ordinary Jonin by any means. His background and strength aside, there is something special about him. And this realization also led to changes in the way people looked at him.
Some were awed, some were respectful, and some were fearful.
The ones most afraid were naturally the members of the main family of the Hyuga Clan as they stopped creating trouble for Kuroto. With this failure, Elder Aoyama and the others controlled themselves, and now they don't even dare to leave their houses, let alone the Hyugs District.
Regarding these happening, the most concerned party–that is Kuroto–didn't even bother to care.
He had no interest in these affairs, so completely delved into optimizing the Yin-seal and practicing the Eight Inner Gates Technique.
As Kuroto expected, his plan of working on Yin-seal and Eight Inner Gates at the same time is indeed very effective.
Now, Kuroto begins his day by exhausting himself physically through Eight Inner Gates training. He carries this exhaustion for the entire day as he completes his responsibilities, and then finally at night, he empties his Chakra Reserves by storing it in the Yin-seal sealing space and then goes to sleep for mental and physical recovery.
This way, he is able to continuously push his limits.
The essence of Eight Inner Gates training is surpassing one's limits again and again. And with his training regime, Kuroto has been able to do just that. With his current training regime, the efficiency of Eight Inner Gates Training has increased by fifty percent!
Of course, such a rigorous training regime is not without its cost, but that is not a problem for Kuroto, because compared to the results, the price is not too much, and Kuroto has decided to take necessary measures.
Of the seven days in a week, Kuroto has planned to carry out this rigorous training on alternate days, that is Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
For the remaining three days, the main body is kept in the Nutrition tank in order to make sure that all the wear-tear and hidden injuries that he accumulates in the four days get healed.
Oh, and while his main body is kept in the Nutrition tank, Kuroto doesn't idle around. At that time, he transfers his soul into the Earth Chakra Nature Clone that has completely healed and works on cultivating it. After all, this clone wasn't fully cultivated, so that needs to be done as well.
As Kuroto delved into these tasks, two weeks passed by in a flash.
During this time, all the matters that didn't need his attention were handed over to Shisui, Itachi, Yagura, and Pakura.
And while he was busy with these things, a letter arrived at the house of the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan.
…
Patriarch's Mansion, Hyuga District, Konohagakure
After reading the letter, Hiashi put it on the table and asked the people sitting around him, "What do the elders think about this letter? It seems to be sent by them, expressing their intention of meeting us."
Faced with Hiashi's question, the elders went silent.
"Those people on the moon, so they really do exist it wasn't just a bedtime story?" muttered Elder Sada in surprise.
"Well… we won't know for sure if it's really them unless we meet them. We can try to get in touch and see what happens. We are distant relatives after all… so there shouldn't be any harm, I believe." suggested Elder Fukiage, and asked, "What was the name of the sender again?"
"Otsutsuki Toneri, he seems to be the current Patriarch of the Otsutsuki Clan." Answered Hiashi.
That's right, the letter is sent to the Hyuga Patriarch by none other than Toneri. He briefly described his identity and then requested a meeting with the current Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan.
And it appears that the members of the main family aren't completely ignorant about the distant relatives on the moon. The information about these distant relatives has been passed from one generation to another in the form of stories.
"If those stories are really true, then it's been centuries since we have had any form of contact, and now suddenly their Patriarch wishes to meet us, what could be the reason?" muttered Hiashi, not sure what to do.
"Whatever the reason, we shouldn't miss this opportunity. If they are really our distant relatives then maybe…" Said Elder Aoyama. His intention wasn't that hard to guess.
The situation of the current Hyuga Clan in Konoha is pretty bad. The Uchiha Clan is becoming more and more powerful, while the Hyuga Clan has not made any progress. After the recent scandal in the council meeting, it seems other clans have developed trust issues with the Hyuga Clan.
If the Hyuga Clan wants to regain its former glory, strong foreign aid would be really helpful.
If the stories about the distant relatives told to them by their ancestors are true, then the Otsutsuki Clan is undoubtedly the best foreign aid.
Although the origin of the two clans is the same, however, there is a vast difference in strength. If the Hyuga Clan can learn something from the Otsutsuki Clan, then it will definitely improve the overall strength and situation of the Hyuga Clan.
"This… it doesn't seem a bad choice."
"We can try to get along for mutual benefit."
While everyone was agreeing with Elder Aoyama's words, suddenly, Elder Fukiage spoke, "I don't think we should rush to make contact with these people. It's been centuries since we had any form of contact. Now they suddenly want to meet Hiashi… this is really suspicious! If we want to work with them, firstly, we must figure out their intention. What if they have something else in their mind? And that would be too risky for us!"
"Hmm, now that you mention it… I am a little unsure of what to do," muttered Hiashi.

Chapter 809: Chapter – 802 Substituting
"What if they have something else in their mind? And that would be too risky for us!" said Elder Fukiage, a little opposed to meeting the Otsutsuki Clan.
And his concern is not unreasonable. Although it can be said that the two clans have the same origin, the thing is, there hasn't been any form of contact between the two clans for the past few centuries.
Moreover, their side has a very poor understanding of these distant relatives living on the moon, so it's very difficult for them to judge the Otsutsuki Clan's intention of wanting to meet Hiashi.
As Elders put their opinions on the matter, both pros and cons of getting in touch with the Otsutsuki Clan were brought to the table. As the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, the final decision is obviously up to Hiashi.
After a long silence, Hiashi reached the conclusion, and said, "I have decided to meet this person." He has considered a lot of possibilities, and meeting them seems to be the right decision in his mind.
In the Council meeting, he as well as the patriarch of other Shinobi Clans finally realized what it is like to face an Uchiha with Mangekyou Sharingan. Hiashi knows that the way he is, he doesn't stand a chance, and they can't continue this way. The support of these distant relatives on the moon can bring a lot of benefits to the Hyuga Clan.
Since an opportunity has come to their door, Hiashi doesn't want to let it go.
So after weighing up the pros and cons, Hiashi decided that he will meet the Patriarch of the Otsutsuki Clan to understand their intention. As long as it's nothing too much, he would cooperate with them.
Elder Aoyama objected, "Although I support your decision, however, you can not go!"
Hiashi was confused, "What are you saying Aoyama-sama?"
Elder Aoyama explained, "You are not unaware of the current situation of the clan. If something were to happen to you, the entire clan would fall apart, and it would become extremely difficult to control the branch. Therefore, you can not go. You must send someone else in your place to make contact with them."
Hiashi was more puzzled, "But the Otsutsuki's have expressed their intention of meeting the Patriarch. If I don't go in person, we would leave a bad impression. They might label me as a coward and we might lose our chance."
Elder Aoyama nodded, "You are right." And suggested, "In that case, send Hizashi."
"What? Send Hizashi!" Hiashi was stunned, then shook his head, "How can I do that? He is not the Patriarch!"
Elder Fukiage interjected, "Actually you can. You and Hizashi are twin brothers and it is extremely difficult to differentiate between the two of you. He can portray you to meet the Otsutsuki and figure out their intention. This way, even if they have planned something bad, you would still be safe."
Hiashi shook his head, "This is very dangerous, I won't feel relieved by sending Hizashi."
"You brothers share the same level of strength. If you can handle it, he would be able to handle it as well, but if he can't handle it, you won't be able to handle it either." Said Elder Sada, and continued in a deeper tone, "Moreover, this is Hizashi's duty as a member of the branch."
Elder Fukiage nodded, "Yes, this is Hizashi's duty."
Hiashi hesitated, "But… this… he…"
"Hiashi… you can't hesitate. Protecting us is the responsibility of the branch." Said Elder Aoyama.
In the face of everyone's opinion, Hiashi had no choice but to nod, "All right."
Soon a messenger was sent to Hyuga Hizashi's house.
…
Hyuga Hiashi's Study, Hyuga District
As Hizashi arrived at the Patriarch's study, he noted Hiashi and Elder Aoyama seated.
Elder Aoyama spoke, "Hizashi… you are here… have a seat."
After respectfully bowing to the two, Hizashi took his seat and waited for them to speak.
After a while of silence, Elder Aoyama put a scroll on the table and said to Hizashi, "Read this."
As confused Hizashi read the letter, he was taken aback, "This is?!"
Being a member of the branch, Hizashi is unaware of these distant relatives on the moon. So, firstly, Elder Aoyama explained the origins of the Hyuga Clan and told him that the two clans are distant relatives and share similar features.
"Although we are distant relatives, we haven't been in contact for the past few centuries. Now that they have suddenly expressed their intention of wanting to meet us, we must determine their intent before anything. So, we hope that you can represent the Hyuga Clan and meet them to figure out their purpose."
Hearing Elder Aoyama's words, Hiashi subconsciously looked at Hiashi.
However, Hiashi looked down, avoiding Hizashi's gaze, and stayed silent.
From Hiashi's behavior, Hizashi understood that his brother didn't oppose Elder Aoyama's decision. So he had no choice, but to nod, "If that's what the clan wants from me, then this is what I must do."
Elder Aoyama nodded with a smile, "Very good."
After re-reading the contents of the letter, Hizashi couldn't figure out anything, so after thinking a little, he suggested, "Should I inform Kuroto-kun? He was in the Anbu and has a lot of experience with similar situations. He may be able to help us."
Bang!
As soon as Kuroto's name was mentioned, Elder Aoyama banged the table in rage, and shouted, "Don't mention his name! Why do you want to inform him of this? Are we nothing without that disrespectful brat!? Do we have to rely on him for everything?!"
In Elder Aoyama's heart, this is not only the opportunity to restore the reputation of the Hyuga Clan but also a chance to suppress the branch. And Hyuga Kuroto is obviously one of the targets.
So, even if he doesn't take his personal grievances into account, he wouldn't agree to Hyuga Kuroto's participation in this matter.
Hizashi didn't expect that Elder Aoyama would react so violently at the mention of Kuroto's name, and quickly explained, "Aoyama-sama, I don't mean that. I just thought that Kuroto-kun was in the Anbu and he is an Elite Jonin with the highest combat power in the clan. His participation can provide us with a lot of help. But if the family doesn't want that… then…"
Elder Aoyama realized that he lost his composure, and said, "Listen clearly Hizashi… this matter is a top secret within the clan, and it is related to the future of the clan, no one should learn of this without our permission. And Hyuga Kuroto is no exception, do you understand?"
Seeing that Elder Aoyama rejected the idea of involving Kuroto in the matter, and Hiashi also didn't give it much thought, Hizashi didn't mention it again, and nodded, "I understand."
Elder Aoyama nodded, and said, "Very well, now go and start the preparation."
Hizashi nodded, "All right." He then looked at Hiashi and said with a smile, "Don't worry brother, I will take care of things." And left the study.
