Clans' Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction

(Some Weeks earlier)

While Akame was busy with implantation of Hashirama cells into her mother, her Shadow Clone was handling the Hokage matters.

Chinoike Clan has settled in the outskirts of Konoha in the East, and the expansion of village has started from the East first, so that Chinoike clan comes more in middle from the centre.

Though there is some dissatisfaction for joining the village co-founded by the very clan that drove them to a very dangerous and isolated island, living a comfortable life in Konoha was much better.

The construction is still ongoing. If only First Hokage was alive, he would have single-handedly taken care of the constructions.

Some of his trees are harder than even steel. She doesn't know how, but she doesn't want to think besides, 'It's Hashirama' and shelve her curiousity.

Anyway, Akame exchanged pleasantries with the head of the relatively small Chinoike clan, consisting of only 30 members, and talked a bit with the children.

One child asked her, "Hey! Is Katsuryugan stronger than Sharingan as clan head said?"

Akame thought about it. Unlike Hyuga, both Uchiha and Chinoike clan don't automatically have their dojutsus. She doesn't know how they awaken it, but it seems to be quite rare as only 3 people have it right now.

This dojutsu not only gives Genjutsu advantage, but also ability to manipulate blood. She doesn't know how it affects their actual vision. And that the blood needs to be their own or someone else's is usable as well.

Akame patted the cute kid's head.

"Not a single dojutsu is stronger than other kind of dojutsu. All eyes have different advantages and purpose. And though you should embrace those advantages, you shouldn't rely on the dojutsu.

If I just used my Sharingan, I wouldn't have been the Hokage."

Akame herself wasn't sure that what she has said is true. With her EMS alone, she would have become the Hokage due to how strong Kamui and Tsukuyomi abilities are.

But, her eyes didn't define her strength entirely. They are just a part of her skill-set.

Currently, though she is stronger than Hokage Hiruzen, Tsunade and Kakashi, and more or less equal to Tobirama-sensei if she used her Mangekyo Sharingan, she is nothing compared to Naruto(obviously), Hashirama(obviously) and Hokage Minato, who didn't have any dojutsu advantage.

Obviously the strengths differ.

Minato wouldn't be able to control the clouds over Land of Lightning and direct their lightning to decimate the country.

But if they fight one-on-one in an open field, she will get killed unless she is using Susanno non-stop, which is impossible.

Minato managed to become the strongest Hokage after the cheats Hashirama and Naruto. And he didn't have any dojutsu or insane chakra from birth like Tobirama-sensei.

So relying on just dojutsu and comparing them with other dojutsu will just limit the potential.

Just like Hyuga clan.

--------------------------

Akame sighed as the Hyuga clan's head requested a meeting.

'Should I just dispel myself?'

The clone thought, but shook that thought away. As Akame's clone, she was also workaholic.

Hyuga clan is currently her biggest headache.

Hyuga clan is not really that powerful. Ino-Shika-Cho combined are more or less equal in strength to them.

But, they have maintained their prestige over thousands of years by being bodyguards of the Fire Daimyo alongside Samurais.

Afterall, Byakugan is the best tool to determine if they are affected by a genjutsu, which Uchiha clan is very prominent.

The Senju vs Uchiha fights over thousands of years have effected the entire Land of Fire since its establishment. They have been more or less equals throughout history, so they have tried everything to get even a slight advantage over the other.

And that means even controlling nobles and even Daimyo himself at one point of history.

But Byakugan is able to detect that, and that's why they have developed some sort of superiority complex over Uchiha clan, and by extension, Senju clan.

No wonder their fighting style is still stuck from the time of who knows when. Everyone knows how a Hyuga fights.

From Madara's writings, he had once encountered Hyuga clan head when he was going to attempt to controlling the Daimyo.

The bodyguard of Daimyo, the Hyuga Clan head employed his rotation.

Madara just kept his distance and kept firing Fireball jutsu from distance until the Hyuga clan head dropped to the ground suffering from chakra exhaustion.

In reality, Madara had sensed Hashirama from far away, and was just playing around and causing commotion to get Hashirama's attention.

Byakugan can be more powerful than a 3 tomoe Sharingan in the hands of a genius with flexible mentality. Aside from the automatic dynamic vision, a Byakugan is superior to even a Mangekyo Sharingan, excluding the special abilities).

It just needs a powerful and fast mind, like Minato and Tobirama-sensei.

But here they are, stuck in their traditions where the maximum limit is being an ordinary Jonin. Most don't even make to being an Elite Jonin.

And on the top of that, they practice slavery. In her term, she is going to abolish it.

First Hokage founded the village on the principle of non-interference with other clans, and Second Hokage was the Hokage during the First Ninja World War.

She was going to see her students in the academy right now, but she guessed she might as well meet a dickhead.

"Let him in."

The Hyuga clan head entered. Trying to act all graceful with the long hair and expensive clothes.

Well, Hyuga clan is certainly richer than Uchiha and Senju clans due to its close connection with Daimyo for centuries.

"Take a seat."

She told him, and he sat on the sofa.

"Hokage-sama, are all assignments of teachers for the academy kids done?"

"More or less. But the additional Jonin teachers are there for giving them some experience and teaching extra things. Team assignments may change after their graduation."

"But none of the Main family of the Hyuga clan are assigned any Jonins. But every branch family members has been assigned some. That's ballant discrimination."

Hyuga clan? Complaining about discrimination?

"If the main family ends its discrimination, including making its secret techniques accessible for Branch family, removing the punishment function of their seals, and the 'duty' of branch family members having to protect the main family, Konoha will certainly provide the same treatment to the main family.

During the war, Branch Family gave their all. They suffered many casualties. While most of the main family didn't go to the war. Among those who did, many if them caused the deaths of Branch members because they had to protect the main family members instead of assisting the stronger members of the troop that would have allowed lower casualties.

The village is just repaying the Branch Hyuga clan."

"You are speaking as if Main and Branch families of Hyuga clan are different clans. They all are families in the Hyuga clan. They are one. You can't undermine-"

"I am not undermining anything. If you look at the assignments, you will see that there are 1.5 more Jonins assigned to Hyugas than the Uchiha and Senju children."

"But they all are Branch-"

"Didn't you just say that all are Hyuga? I don't see any problem. The village is just respecting the children who lost their parents in the war."

Hyuga clan head was now fuming on the inside, but kept his stuck up face.

"The village was established on the foundation that Hokage wouldn't interfere in a clan's internal matters."

"I am not interfering in anything related to your clan. Ninja Academy and all of Konoha's ninjas except for the clan heads and elders come under the village. I am just helping the kids who have a more unfortunate life than normal children."

"How is being a Hyuga kid unfortunate?"

"I got a report from the Ninja Academy's principal that a main family kid was bullying a branch family kid to force him to share what his sensei told him.

He even used the cursed seal-"

"It's caged bird seal, not cursed seal."

"He even used the CURSED SEAL to torture the kid before the teacher arrived.

Shikano, give me that incident's file."

Akame got the file and read through it. The kid was one of the elder's grandkid.

"I was going to inform his parents, but since the clan head is here, I guess I will just tell you to inform his parents for me.

First of all, forcing a ninja to share their secrets unless you are Hokage or a spy or a terrorist, or criminal or a suspicious individual, and what not, is a CRIME.

Secondly, due to his psychopathic behaviour, harming his fellow classmate, he is being suspended for a year, and will have to get therapy and character building training from a therapist before re-entering Ninja Academy next year.

If he repeats this behaviour again, the suspension will be for two years.

Third time, he will be expelled and will never become a ninja."

"You can't do this!"

"He was literally torturing his classmate. That thing can cause permanent brain damage and even kill.

He is a kid, so he is getting off with just one year suspension.

If an actual Konoha ninja is found torturing a fellow Konoha ninja like this, their ninja status will be taken away, chakra and memories sealed, and be thrown in prison.

I am not like First Hokage who had founded the village without force. I am not like the Second Hokage who had to carry the village through war.

I am giving you an easy way out. To stop this SLAVERY within this month.

Slavery is going to be banned in Land of Fire within this week. I am giving the Hyuga clan three extra weeks before I have to report this to the Daimyo.

I am not interfering in the Hyuga clan. I am protecting my ninjas, my academy's kids, and carrying out Daimyo's law."

"Y-you can't do this-"

"I absolutely can. And if you even try to touch any of the village's children and ninjas, you will be a criminal."

As she said this, the pressure from her started coming off before it quickly went away and she smiled.

Her message was clear. Don't even think of doing anything to the Branch family members during this transition.

He gulped and went out of the office while carrying the elder's grandson's suspension letter.

He was utterly furious.

And Akame's Shadow Clone was utterly tired.

She sighed and started heading towards the academy. Since she has become the Hokage, she hasn't met her students that she had chosen.
