"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.

Hizashi's House, Hyuga District
After returning home, Hizashi began to make preparations for the meeting with the Otsutsuki.
In the past few years, although has continued his Gentle Fist training, however, because he is mostly involved in the internal matters of the Hyuga Clan, he rarely participates in actual combat, therefore, he has no doubt become a little dull.
For a shinobi about to engage in life and death, this is very dangerous. Even a little negligence can become the cause of death.
Hizashi understands this very well, so the first thing he did after returning home was to gather his shinobi tools and enter the training hall.
Just as he opened the door, he saw Neji coming out of the training hall, and asked, "Neji, you were training at this hour?"
"Well…" muttered Neji, then he noted the shinobi bag around Hizashi's waist and asked, "Otou-sama, you are…?"
As far as Neji can remember, it's been a few years since his father last used those Shinobi tools, so seeing Hizashi carry the shinobi bag, Neji couldn't help but get curious.
Hizashi noticed Neji's gaze, and explained, "I have to perform an important mission tomorrow, it's nothing too dangerous, but I still need to be very careful, so I am going to train for a while to make sure that I don't mess up. Enough about me… what are doing so late? You should be resting at this hour!"
"Oh, this…" muttered Neji, and explained, "This month's assessment is a Taijutsu battle. I want to sharpen my skills and make sure that I don't mess up this time and lose to Sasuke like last time."
"I see." Nodded Hizashi and encouraged Neji, "I believe you can definitely defeat the Uchiha boy."
Neji smiled, "hehe." Then looked at Hizashi and asked, "Otou-sama, will you come to the academy to watch the assessment? Everyone's parents will be there."
Hizashi asked, "When is the assessment?"
Neji replied, "Next week."
"Next week…?" muttered Hizashi, then answered after a pause, "If the mission goes as expected, then I will definitely be there."
Neji's eyes beamed in joy, and he said, "This time… I going to beat Sasuke and become number one!"
…
Early Dawn of the next day
Before the first light of the day could reach Konoha, Hizashi led two guards assigned as his guards by the main family and quietly left the village.
Since this meeting between distant relatives is a secret, so the location of the meeting was not around the village. It's in the east, quite far from Konoha.
While travelling through the forest of the Land of Fire, Hizashi secretly glanced behind and breathed a sigh of relief.
A little far away from the three of them, an elite squad is following. It is the duty of the elite squad to protect the three of them in order to make sure that any information they gain from their meeting with Otsutsuki isn't lost in case of an accident.
After a day of travelling at full speed, the three Hyuga finally could finally see the meeting place, "It seems we are almost there."
Hizashi nodded, "Let's take a rest here and recover before continuing forward."
The two guards nodded, "Yes!"
…
Somewhere in Konoha.
With a smile on his face, Deidara walked through the dark passage.
Since the five Kages are unable to reach any conclusion in regard to Danzo and Akatsuki's threat, Deidara–Tsuchikage's guard–is stuck in this underground place.
With his nature, it's obviously impossible for him to continue to stay in such a dark and gloomy place for so long, so after pestering Sandaime Tsuchikage for a long time, he was finally allowed to move freely for a while. Although he can only roam around in Konoha, that's still better than being stuck in a dark and dingy room, right?
With such a mentality, Deidara made his way towards the exit. As he approached the exit of the underground passage, he could almost see the bright sunlight and cheered, "I can finally be free!"
Excited, Deidara's pace increased, and just as he came out of the underground passage he noted two people in Konoha Shinobi gear waiting at the exit.
One of the two Konoha shinobi greeted Deidara, "Nice to meet you once again Deidara-san, this is my friend Sarutobi Asuma. We will be your guide in Konoha. Where would you like to do Deidara-san."
Deidara's smile disappeared, "Guide huh…? And you again? Really troublesome."
Kurenai's smile didn't disappear because of Deidara's deflated expression, and she said, "Please bear with us." Then she suddenly remembered something, and bowed down, "Also, I want to thank you for that time in the Land of Frost."
Dediara was confused, "What are you talking about??"
Seeing that Deidara wanted to play ignorant, Kurenai decided to play along, and said knowingly, "Don't worry, we won't ask you anything about your organization, I just want to thank you… if not for you, me and my comrades would have perished on that day."
As soon as the organization was mentioned, Deidara realized what the woman in front of him was talking about, his mood irked and his expression changed, "I have already told this several times. I am not Dojin, nor have I joined that damned organization!"
"Yes… yes… I know." Nodded Kurenai with a smile.
"You know nothing! You aren't even listening!" complained Deidara in annoyance, and added, "Humph, if I ever meet those people, I am going to teach them a lesson!"
As soon as Amatsukami was mentioned, Deidara's expression became gloomy. Because of this stupid misunderstanding, the entire Iwagakure suffered from destruction at the hands of the Akatsuki Organization, which made him hate Amatsukami.
Seeing Deidara's reaction at the mention of Amatsukami, Asuma was doubtful, and asked Kurenai, "Are you sure Kurenai? Is he really a member of Amatsukami?"
Kurenai nodded, "As far as the information we have on Deidara and Dojin, he is that person, and as you already know the leaders of all the villages also believe that he is Dojin. Of course, this is just a guess, as long as Deidara doesn't confirm this himself, we can't confirm this."
Asuma nodded, "Hmm."
As Asuma and Kurenai were whispering things with each other, Dediara shook his head, "Forget it, it's useless to explain to you, people." Then he took out some clay from his shinobi bag, and while playing with it in his hand, he muttered to himself, "Now then, where should I go first?" and threw the clay on the ground.
Poof!
The clay produced white smoke and took the form of a giant clay bird.
As the clay bird appeared in front of everyone, Deidara smirked at Kurenai and Asuma, and said, "If the two of you can keep up with me, then I don't mind having the two of you as my guides."
As Deidara was about to fly away, Kurenai took out something from her Shinobi bag and showed it to Deidara, "Do you remember this?"
Seeing the clay figurine in Kurenai's hands, Deidara frowned, "That is?" He immediately appeared beside Kurenai, snatched the clay figurine and while observing it, he asked, "Where did you get this?"
"Well, since you want to play this way, then I will be happy to oblige. It was Dojin who gave this to us in the Land of Frost."
Deidara clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Tch… that fake!"
The clay appears quite similar to the one he uses, and the design is fine too, however, that person has not worked on the finishing. Therefore, Deidara is annoyed. If someone is going to copy him, they should at least put in all the effort, doing half-heartedly just ruins everything.
Of course, Deidara doesn't believe that anyone is capable of copying his art.
Putting that aside, Deidara injected chakra into the clay figurine as he tossed it on the ground.
Poof!
As Kurenai and Asuma stood on the back of this white clay bird, Deidara returned to his clay bird, and while the two birds took to the sky, he asked Kurenai, "You say that Dojin saved you? Tell me what kind of person that guy is."
