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 Hy?ga clan, a noble family residing in the eastern region of the Land of Fire.

The Hy?ga clan, descendants of ?tsutsuki 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 Hy?ga clan is divided into the main family and branch family.

The main family inherits the ?tsutsuki 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 Hy?ga 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 Ky?suke planned to gain their support without giving anything in return, in reality, he had already prepared a gift.

A gift the Hy?ga family could not refuse.

As a guest seeking an audience, Ky?suke made no attempt to hide his presence.

Not long after entering Hy?ga 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 Ky?suke was like a shining beacon in the dark—impossible to ignore.

"I am Uchiha Ky?suke. I request an audience with Lord Tenjin."

Hy?ga Tenjin—one of the strongest shinobi of the Warring States period.

The reason why the Hy?ga clan was considered a powerhouse capable of rivaling the Uchiha and Senju stems partly from this formidable ninja.

At his peak, Hy?ga 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, Ky?suke chose complete honesty.

Transparency was the first step to establishing trust between them.

"Uchiha Ky?suke." The guards' expressions changed; they clearly recognized his reputation.

Cross-referencing the information they had, they quickly confirmed his identity as the real Ky?suke.

For now, the Hy?ga clan remained neutral in ongoing conflicts, neither agreeing to participate in battles nor rejecting any visitors.

This political wisdom, unique to the Hy?ga 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 Ky?suke 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 Ky?suke 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 Ky?suke 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 Hy?ga Yayoi. Lord Tenjin is awaiting you in the main hall."

"Lead the way," Ky?suke 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?" Ky?suke 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, Hy?ga Yayoi suddenly turned toward Mito and asked, "It seems this person is not your servant?"

"She?"

Ky?suke 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," Ky?suke 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 Ky?suke's plans kept her rooted in place. She wanted to hear how this audacious man intended to convince the Hy?ga clan.

"Hopefully, the negotiations fail, and the Hy?ga just kill him outright," Mito muttered, though she didn't truly believe it.

If the Hy?ga were that impulsive and reckless, they wouldn't have managed to stay neutral for so long.

---

Under Hy?ga Yayoi's guidance, the two soon arrived at a serene meeting room steeped in traditional aesthetics.

There, they met a refined middle-aged man: Hy?ga Tenjin, one of the greatest warriors of the Warring States period.

"Lord Tenjin," both Ky?suke and Mito greeted respectfully.

"Welcome," Tenjin said, setting aside a book and smiling at them.

"What brings you here? How can the Hy?ga clan assist you?"

Ky?suke gestured to Mito. "I've captured a hostage to force Uzumaki Ashina to abandon his plans for war. However..."

Ky?suke explained in detail how he had captured Mito and how he intended to pressure the Uzumaki Clan into submission.

While Ky?suke spoke enthusiastically, Hy?ga Tenjin's smile gradually faded.

The clan leader realized he had taken on a significant problem.

Ky?suke'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 Ky?suke finally finished, silence hung in the air. After a pause, Tenjin spoke.

"So, you want the Hy?ga to intervene in your conflict with the Uzumaki?"

"Yes," Ky?suke replied, then glanced at the two people beside him.

"May I speak with you in private, Lord Tenjin?"
