Chapter 11
Hiashi POV
The description of my heir as timid and wasted potential was not something I wanted stated in front of the other clan heads, but at least other than Shino/Shibi all the other descriptions were much more embarrassing. When I learned of some sort of offer from the child who bufoonishly placed a banner declaring to the world his lustful interest in a pariah of the village I was intrigued. What could he possibly have to offer?
Yet before I could find out I was all but warned by the Hokage that the offer was offensive in the extreme.
Now as I read the letter my jaw nearly fell. ' Hiashi-dono I write you this note to express my interest in solving multiple problems at the same time.
You will no doubt be wanting to find a way to make Hannabi your heir.
You have no desire to see Hinata with the caged bird.
You would like to end the practice of the caged bird.
You need some way to protect the byakugan from being stolen
I want to have Hinata as part of my own clan.
So to satisfy all of these conditions at the same time I propose an exchange. I will provide a substitute seal that will protect the byakugan even better than the caged bird as it will be applicable to all members of the Hyuga. It will have a secondary element that allows for the gene that determines the byakugan to be switched on easily if someone marries outside the clan. I will personally remove all caged bird seals and replace them with the new seal. In return you will sell Hinata to me for my own clan. If you have any doubt of my abilities to do as listed, just ask the old man in front of you about Anko."
It was the most absurd thing I had ever read. The impossible thing he said he would do was ridiculous. I looked up at the Hokage and asked. "What about Ms Mitarashi?"
"She is now free of the curse seal. Loki is a true master of the art unlike any since the peak of the Uzumaki." Hiashi stared at me for a long while in silence.
"You should know that every word he said was 100% serious, if you agree he will follow through." I wasn't certain if I wanted him to agree or not, the way Loki was going about building his harem had not been admirable so far. But the possibility of a free Hyuga clan was too good to ignore.
"I will consider this offer." It was all he said before leaving quickly.
