Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 524 The Second Largest Clan
The hazy fog suddenly appeared around the four people, giving people an extremely heavy feeling of terrifying oppression.

"Whirring whirring!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, sweeping up the fog in the alley and blowing it to both sides.

"No, not from Kirigakure!"

"who are you?"

The people of the Hyuga clan gritted their teeth and shouted.

The four of them didn't move, they just stood there quietly.

After two breaths, they began to move forward.

One of them reached out and lifted the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a young, handsome face with a faint smile.

"Where is your clan leader?"

The ninja of the Hyuga clan was startled, and then his pupils contracted.

Because just as he finished speaking, the man had stood behind him without him knowing when.

"Time is urgent, we don't have time to explain to you!"

"Tell me where your clan leader is."

A faint voice came.

Several people choked and looked forward blankly, only to see one of the remaining three people lift up his hat, revealing a pale, cold, snake-like face that made people frightened.

"You are?!"

The pupils of the Hyuga clan shrank, and their eyes showed an expression of extreme shock.

They recognized the person who came and found out that he was a well-known figure in the ninja world.

"O-Orochimaru?!"

"Why would a man like you appear here!?"

One person asked in a trembling voice of fear.

"There's no need to say more nonsense, right?"

"There's no point in having a conversation with you guys."

At this time, another person also lifted up his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Maybe in the past, we had other identities, but now, we are people from the Hidden Rain Village!"

"Please inform Chief Kaguya that guests from the Hidden Rain Village have arrived!"

Several people were startled, then quickly reacted and realized the reason why the four people came.

"dawn!"

The remaining person also uttered a word lightly at this time.

Now, the reason became clearer. Recently, the clan leader had been in contact with a mysterious organization called Akatsuki. This matter had already spread among the clan, and several clan meetings had been held for this purpose.

Although they were not clear about the final result, the patriarch's order had been passed down.

"Four guests, please follow me!"

Taking a deep breath, one of them spoke quickly.

"lead the way!"

Orochimaru said calmly.

The man nodded, then turned and walked quickly forward.

As they walked through corridors and alleys, the outlines of the Hyuga clan appeared in the eyes of several people.

The dress style of the Hyuga clan is very distinctive. They have two dots between their eyebrows, and their eyes are more or less violent and crazy.

The bloodline limit of this clan is the Corpse Bone Vein, which gives them the ability to freely manipulate ancient cells, osteoclasts, calcium concentration, and generate bones.

This incredible talent gives them incredible power in combat.

Xia Le knew very well that this clan's bloodline was most likely derived from the Datongmu clan.

Kaguya Ōtoki possesses an extremely powerful move called the Mutual Killing of Ashes, which is similar to the Kaguya clan's Corpse Bone Vein.

The ashes of the common murder may be the appearance of the corpse bone vein evolved to its limit.

Naturally, Xia Le became very interested in the corpse bone vein.

After a while, they saw Chief Kaguya waiting quietly in the reception room.

This is a middle-aged man with a cold face, fair skin, hair tied like a whip and hanging on both sides, two dots between his eyebrows, very sharp eyes, and a powerful aura all over his body.

"The four guests please take a seat."

The Kaguya clan leader stood up and held out his hand.

Xia Le glanced around and saw that besides the leader of the Kaguya clan, there were also a few old men and four or five young people sitting in the living room.

Obviously, these people are the most powerful backbone of the Hyuga clan today, and are also the decision-making group that can truly make decisions for the clan.

Xia Le smiled slightly, nodded and greeted everyone, then slowly sat down. Orochimaru, Sakumo, and Nagato sat on one side.

At this time, a few more people came to the door.

"teacher."

Yahiko, Konan said in surprise.

"sit!"

Xia Le gestured with his hand.

Yahiko, Konan, and Shisui sat down quickly. They knew very well that this was not the time to talk.

For a moment, the reception room of the Hyuga clan became quiet.

The leader of the Kaguya clan sat in the main seat, the elders and backbones sat on the right, and Xia Le and others sat on the left.

The two sides were sitting almost face to face and could see each other by looking up.

It can be seen that the people of the Hyuga clan all have extremely serious and solemn expressions at this moment, and there is even a hint of surprise and horror in their eyes.

The younger generation of the Akatsuki organization might not be very famous yet, but the three people sitting in front of him were all well-known and terrifying existences in the ninja world.

"The strongest Uchiha, the Black Flash of Konoha, Uchiha Sharaku!"

"Konoha's White Flash, Hatake Sakumo!"

"And Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas!"

"I didn't expect that the three of you would be here!"

The leader of the Kaguya clan spoke slowly, not disguising the emotion and surprise in her tone.

"Chief Kaguya, the three of us are now members of the Hidden Rain Village!"

Xia Le smiled slightly.

"The Hidden Rain Village? That's even more incredible."

The Kaguya clan leader said with a twinkling gaze.

His heart moved, and at this moment he felt inexplicably excited and thrilled.

The powerful and famous men who were once in Konoha have now united together to create an era of the rise of the Hidden Rain Village.

And behind them is the powerful Uchiha clan and many hidden strong men.

"Who is this other person?"

Below, an elder of the Kaguya clan looked at Nagato and asked.

"Nagato!"

Nagato said softly.

Hearing this, several people stared in confusion. But one of them suddenly had his pupils shrink and showed a look of shock.

"Are you the Nagato who single-handedly defeated a thousand ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village during the Third Ninja World War?!"

Nagato nodded slightly.

"Hissssssss!!"

A series of gasps were heard, and the entire Hyuga clan was silent at this moment.

Each of the people who appeared before him was a well-known figure in the ninja world, and their strength was extremely powerful.

Facing such a grand occasion head-on, they would inevitably feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

for a long time.

The Kaguya clan member coughed lightly to hide the shock in his heart, and he raised his head to look at Xia Le.

Among the crowd, it was obvious that the young man sitting at the top, smiling and seemingly gentle, had the right to speak.

"I have already talked to Yahiko before."

"So, the Hidden Rain Village really wants to invite my Kaguya clan to join?"

As soon as the words came out, the elders and backbone members of the Hyuga clan below held their breath.

After seeing the strong men of the Hidden Rain Village with their own eyes, they have to admit that the people of the Kaguya clan felt a lot of pressure.

But if they were asked to decide whether to join the other side.

Given the current situation of the Hyuga clan, they don’t seem to have much choice.

"Of course!"

Xia Le smiled slightly and answered directly.

"You should all know that the Hidden Rain Village is now developing rapidly, but its current strength is still insufficient."

"If the Hyuga clan joins us, then in a short period of time, we will have a powerful force that is not inferior to the five great nations!"

"After a little integration, the combined strength of you and me will create a more powerful country."

After a pause, Xia Le said with emotion.

"In the future, the significance of such a collaboration may not be inferior to the feats of the first generation of Konoha, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara!"

"They founded Konoha, and we will create a great country that will surpass Konoha!"

As the words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of the Hyuga clan members began to change.

I have to say, they were very tempted.

Firstly, the situation of the Hyuga clan is indeed not good now. There is a possibility of going to war with Kirigakure at any time, and once the war starts, it is hard to say what will happen to them.

Secondly, if we join the Hidden Rain Village and combine the current strength of the Hidden Rain Village, even if there are only a few people in front of us, it will be an extremely huge force.

In addition, as one of the founders of the village and country, the temptation is too great.

For the Hyuga clan, it was simply impossible to refuse.

"As for the Hidden Rain Village and your invitation, we, the Kaguya clan, would like to agree."

"But before that, we hope to know the rights and interests that our Kaguya clan can obtain after joining."

At this moment, the leader of the Kaguya clan still remained sober.

The alliance between families involves very complicated things. For example, the Uchiha clan and Konoha, the Kaguya clan and Kirigakure, all of them gradually became uncontrollable over time, leading to civil strife, war, and disasters.

So, how can the Hidden Rain Village guarantee that such disasters will not happen in the future? Or, what benefits do they gain from it?
After all, the integration and joining of ethnic groups are different from those of individuals and are more complicated.

"Let me explain this matter!"

Sakumo smiled slightly and spoke.

"Master Sakumo, please!"

Chief Kaguya nodded.

He was naturally well-known to Hatake Sakumo, but after the war, the other party seemed to have disappeared, and he did not expect that he would appear in front of him at this time.

"My words seem to be more worthy of your trust here."

"Before Fugaku, I was the first Rain Shadow."

Sakumo smiled slightly.

Everyone in the Hyuga clan showed surprised expressions, and the clan leader's expression became more relaxed.

It turned out to be the first generation of Rain Shadow.

"In the Hidden Rain Village today, everyone, whether they are wealthy families, clans, or commoners, has the right to enter the Ninja Academy for free and on a voluntary basis."

"They are at the Elementary Ninja Academy, where they can learn all the ninjutsu and methods of fighting the enemy that a Genin can master!"

"After graduation, you can earn money through missions to support yourself, and continue to attend secondary schools to learn about Chunin."

"After that, there are higher education institutions for jonin to study, and after the higher education, there are special education institutions for ninjas at the level of Kage to study."

Sakumo's words were accompanied by a smile, but it made all the Kaguya clan's eyes widen.

"Please note that our junior high schools and colleges offer an extremely vast amount of ninjutsu and taijutsu."

"It includes various family secrets and forbidden techniques, etc."

“These are things that everyone can learn as long as they make corresponding contributions.”

"It doesn't distinguish between family, status, or civilians!"

Sakumo continued.

"What? We can also learn the secrets of other families?"

Chief Kaguya's eyes widened in disbelief.

The entire ninja world is well aware that the secret techniques and ninjutsu of the wealthy families are extremely important things and are not easily made public.

There are also some families that have inherited peculiar ninjutsu. In order to prevent their ninjutsu from being passed on to others, they have set up many defenses to avoid the leakage of ninjutsu.

"Of course!"

"These include lightning-type ninjutsu, form-changing ninjutsu, and dust escape techniques that can achieve bloodline limits or even surpass their power!"

After a pause, looking at the shocked expressions of the people in front of him, Sakumo smiled slightly.

"Of course, if you want to learn these special and powerful secret techniques, ninjutsu, you must first meet the characteristics required by the ninjutsu."

"But the village's provision, or generosity, of ninjutsu surpasses all other ninja villages, even the five great nations!"

"At the same time, the village has strict laws and will not allow bloody incidents to happen. It provides the best training environment for children."

"This is about ninjutsu, learning, and growth. Besides that, it's about the joining of the Kaguya clan."

"We in the Hidden Rain Village will also allocate a sufficiently wide area to build your clan land."

"Also, regarding elections for village positions, the Kaguya clan has the same equal voting rights as everyone else!"

When Sakumo said this, the leader of the Kaguya clan suddenly interrupted.

"That means our clan also has the right to run for Rain Shadow?"

This time, it was Xia Le who answered him.

"That's right. Every ninja in the Hidden Rain Village, as long as they are capable enough, has the right to elect the Rain Shadow!"

"Regarding the election of the Hidden Rain Village, the village will ensure its absolute fairness and authority!"

"We will set up a Shadow Council to check and balance the appointment and removal of Rain Shadows. Its members will be retired members of the Elder Council from previous generations of Shadows."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the Hyuga clan members immediately lit up.

The Kaguya clan actually has the right to run for the Kage. Moreover, this kind of Kage election is actually being supervised?
Although this new system still cannot completely avoid injustice, it is already an extremely good system.

In fact, it is more advanced than any hidden village that exists today.

"Believe me, by joining the Hidden Rain Village, the Kaguya clan will be stronger than ever before, and your clan members will have a safer and more comfortable growth environment than in the Hidden Mist Village."

"For Kaguya, both we and Fugaku, who is now the Rain Shadow, are sincere."

Sakumo said with a smile.

"call!"

Chief Kaguya took a long breath, then he raised his head and said with a smile.

"I have to say that for us, the conditions of the Hidden Rain Village are very tempting. We have reasons that we cannot refuse!"

After exchanging a glance with the elders below, Patriarch Hyuga had an idea in mind.

"We agreed!"

"From now on, join the Hidden Rain Village!"

Hearing this, Xia Le, Shuomao and others all laughed.

At this moment, in addition to the Uchiha clan, the Hidden Rain Village had a second powerful clan.

The Corpse Bone Vein may have some flaws, but Xia Le is confident that he can develop the highest secrets of the Corpse Bone Vein like the Uchiha clan.
