Chapter 26
Earlier, due to the ongoing but uninitiated war between the Uchiha and Konoha, the clan meeting had dragged on from morning until afternoon.
Although Konoha was now engulfed in battle smoke, the Hyuga main house remained harmonious and tranquil.
Their gates were tightly shut, like a hidden paradise.
Even messages and requests for aid sent by the Hokage upon entering the Hyuga main house grounds were distorted by the Jutsu of Tranquility into affirmations of trust and respectful advice for the Hyuga clan.
The letters were passed among the clan elders. They were then verbally communicated to every branch family member, transforming into another testament to the Hyuga clan’s honor and high regard within Konoha.
Inside the Hyuga main house, even the most oppressed branch family member would unconsciously puff out their chest at the thought of the Hyuga clan’s glory and status, turning to boast to others.
If the other were also a member of the Hyuga clan, they would share another tale of the clan’s honor, falling into a cycle of "winning," "winning again," and confirming that the Hyuga clan was indeed the greatest.
This was the fundamental reason the Jutsu of Tranquility was so hard to break—people only believed what they wanted to think, and the Jutsu presented them with that reality.
Thus, even if some sharp individuals sensed something was wrong, they likely wouldn’t actively burst these bubbles.
