Capítulo 47: Chapter 47: The Descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura

There is no doubt, the strongest clans in the Land of Fire are the Uchiha and the Senju.
Even a five-year-old child knows this.
So, among the second-tier clans, which family holds the strongest position?
Some say it's the Sarutobi clan, with their powerful summoning beasts. Others point to mid-sized clans with mysterious secret techniques.
However, one name always comes up as one of the strongest among the second tier: the Hyūga clan, a noble family residing in the eastern region of the Land of Fire.
The Hyūga clan, descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, is one of the founding families of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Clan members inherit the Byakugan and the Gentle Fist, unique abilities in the ninja world.
To preserve their pure bloodline, the Hyūga clan is divided into the main family and branch family.
The main family inherits the Ōtsutsuki abilities, while the branch family ensures the clan's bloodline continues.
They also serve as tools for the main family's lineage when needed.
If one seeks allies capable of rivaling Uzumaki Ashina, visiting the Hyūga family is the right choice.
As for their relationship? It's simple—there are no eternal enemies in the face of mutual interests.
While Uzumaki Mito believed Kyōsuke planned to gain their support without giving anything in return, in reality, he had already prepared a gift.
A gift the Hyūga family could not refuse.

As a guest seeking an audience, Kyōsuke made no attempt to hide his presence.
Not long after entering Hyūga territory, he was met by branch family guards.
"Stop!"
The guards assumed their Gentle Fist stances, showing no signs of underestimating him despite his young age.
His appearance might deceive others, but the overwhelming chakra within Kyōsuke was like a shining beacon in the dark—impossible to ignore.
"I am Uchiha Kyōsuke. I request an audience with Lord Tenjin."
Hyūga Tenjin—one of the strongest shinobi of the Warring States period.
The reason why the Hyūga clan was considered a powerhouse capable of rivaling the Uchiha and Senju stems partly from this formidable ninja.
At his peak, Hyūga Tenjin could suppress the so-called "Twin Gods" (Madara and Hashirama) when they weren't using their signature techniques like Susano'o or Wood Release.
This alone demonstrated his terrifying power.
Faced with such a figure, Kyōsuke chose complete honesty.
Transparency was the first step to establishing trust between them.
"Uchiha Kyōsuke." The guards' expressions changed; they clearly recognized his reputation.
Cross-referencing the information they had, they quickly confirmed his identity as the real Kyōsuke.
For now, the Hyūga clan remained neutral in ongoing conflicts, neither agreeing to participate in battles nor rejecting any visitors.
This political wisdom, unique to the Hyūga clan, ensured their survival through many crises, even into the era when Uzumaki Naruto became Hokage.
The guards' reactions reflected this careful neutrality.
"So, it's Commander Kyōsuke of the Uchiha Corps."
The branch family guard bowed slightly in a show of respect. "Please follow me. Lord Tenjin will likely be pleased to meet you."
When Kyōsuke revealed his identity, someone had already relayed this information through their unique hand signals.
With the Byakugan, long-distance communication was effortless.
By the time Kyōsuke reached the clan's core area, a team of ninjas awaited him.

At the forefront stood a young woman in white combat attire. Her striking beauty was slightly marred by the stern look in her eyes.
"Greetings. I am Hyūga Yayoi. Lord Tenjin is awaiting you in the main hall."
"Lead the way," Kyōsuke said, withdrawing his gaze. He could sense he was being observed.
Activating his Sharingan, he glanced at the grand mansion ahead but found nothing unusual.
"So, it's the Byakugan's long-distance perception. What an annoying ability," he muttered to himself, deactivating his Sharingan and pretending nothing had happened.
"Let them look. It's not like I'm a young maiden with something to hide."
Beside him, Uzumaki Mito's expression remained unreadable as she asked, "Are you sure you want me to come along?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Kyōsuke grinned.
"If we reach a sensitive part of the discussion, I'll make sure you don't hear a word."
"You're shamelessly honest, aren't you?"
"Thank you. That's the Uchiha way. It's better than being two-faced like some other clans."
"You!"
At that moment, Hyūga Yayoi suddenly turned toward Mito and asked, "It seems this person is not your servant?"
"She?"
Kyōsuke waved casually. "Her name is Uzumaki Mito, princess of the Uzumaki Clan."
"..." Yayoi stared at Mito for a moment, her pale eyes flashing with a strange light.
"If I recall correctly, the Uchiha are currently at war with the Uzumaki, correct?"
"Yes, you're not mistaken," Kyōsuke confirmed. "This princess here is my prisoner."
"... I see."
Yayoi turned back to Mito, giving a slight nod. "Apologies for the misunderstanding, Princess Mito."
"It's fine. Just pretend I'm not here," Mito said, pressing a hand to her forehead. She wanted to vanish from the room.
Yet her curiosity about Kyōsuke's plans kept her rooted in place. She wanted to hear how this audacious man intended to convince the Hyūga clan.
"Hopefully, the negotiations fail, and the Hyūga just kill him outright," Mito muttered, though she didn't truly believe it.
If the Hyūga were that impulsive and reckless, they wouldn't have managed to stay neutral for so long.
---
Under Hyūga Yayoi's guidance, the two soon arrived at a serene meeting room steeped in traditional aesthetics.
There, they met a refined middle-aged man: Hyūga Tenjin, one of the greatest warriors of the Warring States period.
"Lord Tenjin," both Kyōsuke and Mito greeted respectfully.
"Welcome," Tenjin said, setting aside a book and smiling at them.
"What brings you here? How can the Hyūga clan assist you?"
Kyōsuke gestured to Mito. "I've captured a hostage to force Uzumaki Ashina to abandon his plans for war. However..."
Kyōsuke explained in detail how he had captured Mito and how he intended to pressure the Uzumaki Clan into submission.
While Kyōsuke spoke enthusiastically, Hyūga Tenjin's smile gradually faded.
The clan leader realized he had taken on a significant problem.
Kyōsuke's calm demeanor only made Tenjin more aware of the boy's unshakable determination.
"If I'd known, I would've had Yayoi stop him," Tenjin thought.
"Although, with his mysterious space-time ninjutsu, even that might not have worked."
When Kyōsuke finally finished, silence hung in the air. After a pause, Tenjin spoke.
"So, you want the Hyūga to intervene in your conflict with the Uzumaki?"
"Yes," Kyōsuke replied, then glanced at the two people beside him.
"May I speak with you in private, Lord Tenjin?"
