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.
