Inside the secret vault of the Hyuga clan's mansion.
"As expected..."
Looking through the genealogy of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Kage found that during the Warring States period, there were a large number of records of marriages between the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan, but most of them were women from the Kaguya clan who married into the Hyuga clan, and almost no women from the Hyuga clan married into the Kaguya clan, so there is no record of eyeballs.
And from the few words on the genealogy, it can be clearly seen that the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan have a blood relationship, and they should belong to two bloodlines under the same ancestor's lineage.
But with the establishment of Shinobi villages such as Konoha and Kirigakure, the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan belonging to two different villages quickly cooled down.
"Huh... "
Suddenly, Hyuga Kyou, who was flipping through the genealogy page by page, suddenly realized something.
In the more than 900 years of history recorded in the genealogy, the population of the Hyuga clan has been maintained at a numerical range of about 3,000 people, and this belongs to the top and largest ninja clan like Senju and Uchiha in the chaotic Warring States period.
But for some unknown reason, the population of the Hyuga clan has been decreasing year by year since three hundred years ago.
Up to now, counting all the people hidden by the family, there are only more than 700 people in the Hyuga clan, and most of them are old and weak women and children.
In the long 300 years of change, the population of the ethnic group has decreased from 3,000 to 700, which may not attract much attention, but in the ten minutes Hyuga Kyou reads the family tree, the year-by-year decrease in the number of clan members is particularly eye-catching in his eyes.
"Is it because of the war?"
Hyuga Kyou muttered.
War is the main culprit for the sharp decline in the population of many ninjas. The formerly huge Senju clan took the lead in several wars after the establishment of Konoha, resulting in heavy losses and a sharp drop in population. In addition, the policy of the first generation to completely integrate the Senju clan into Konoha led to a large number of women from the Senju clan marrying ordinary villagers, which further diluted the blood of the Senju clan.
But soon Hyuga mirror denied his guess.
Because he looked through the family tree and found that apart from the mysterious death of hundreds of people three hundred years ago, there is no record of a large number of people dying in a short period of time.
But this is also a matter of course. Even in the war, the Hyuga Clan is more of a scout and garrison role. They are neither leading the battle like the Senju Clan, nor are they as addicted to war as the Uchiha. The number of deaths in battle is undoubtedly far below the average.
"It's not because of the war, and there hasn't been a large-scale rebellion or internal strife within the clan. Why is the population of the clan decreasing? And the reduction is so smooth that it doesn't attract attention, as if a pair of big hands are secretly manipulating it..."
The doubts in Hyuga Kyou's heart became more and more intense.
In the cognition of ordinary people, the Hyuga Clan is already the top clan in Konoha, and the Uchiha Clan with the same name seems to have only half of the Hyuga Clan.
However, this point of view is just a misunderstanding of some people who do not understand the Uchiha clan.
The real situation is that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are indeed far less than the Hyuga clan, about half of the Hyuga clan, but the Uchiha clan is not less than the Hyuga clan. On the contrary, if the entire clan is counted, the Uchiha clan is far more than the Hyuga clan, but the vast majority of Uchiha clan members have not awakened Sharingan, nor have the qualifications to become ninjas. They are almost the same as ordinary villagers. To the family.
You must know that the area of the Uchiha clan is the largest among all the ninjas in Konoha, and it is far more than other ninjas. There are all kinds of shops in it, which are almost self-sufficient.
"The demise of Senju was due to the decision-making of the first generation, which was caused by human factors. Uchiha experienced the departure of Uchiha Madara, the internal strife when he developed 'Izanagi', and a large number of casualties in several wars, but the number of people in the clan remained at a normal value. On the contrary, Hyuga, who has been steadily going all the way, is slowly reducing the number of people in the clan, which is too strange!"
The more he pondered, the more strange Hyuga Kyou felt.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the Datongmu clan on the moon.
In his impression, the Otsutsuki branch family on the moon had already possessed the giant Tenseiyan when they officially launched their rebellion. Because of this, the branch family wiped out the Zong family almost unscathed in the decisive battle with the Zong family.
In other words, the Otsutsugi Sect, which was able to mobilize thousands of troops during the decisive battle, had no loss of personnel at all.
Then a very strange question arises, Otsutsuki branch family with a total population of nearly 10,000, on the moon where there are no foreign enemies, why did Otsutsugi Toneri die for no reason
"In a relative period of time, the total amount of Chakra is fixed, so the Otsutsuki branch on the moon will gather the supercilious eyes of the dead into the giant tenseikan one after another, which will directly cause the giant tenseikan to become stronger and stronger, and the deceased's chakra will be merged into the giant tenseigan. In no time, the number of newborns will naturally decrease greatly, so it is the giant tenseikan that suppresses the population of the Otsutsuki branch.
In a daze, Hyuga Kyou had a bold guess in his mind.
"If my guess is correct, the fact that Otsutsuki Sheren was born under the pressure of the giant Tenseigan means that he must have the qualifications to awaken the Tenseigan?"
Following this line of thought, Hyuga Kyou turned his gaze back to the genealogy in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "Then what exactly is suppressing the population of the Hyuga clan?"
The population of the Hyuga clan in the ninja world is decreasing year by year. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Otsutsuki branch on the moon, which almost wiped out the clan, it does exist.
Unconsciously, Hyuga Kyou's eyes fell on the record of the mysterious death of hundreds of people in the family tree three hundred years ago.
"Based on the style of the Otsutsuki branch on the moon to kill the main family, after they know that a large number of white eyes can create giant Tenseikan, they will never be willing to poach the white eyes of their own clan. They will definitely use various means to find ways to plunder the white eyes and use them to create giant Tenseikans."
"And the Hyuga Clan living in the Ninja World is obviously a good target. After all, in terms of physique and skills, the Otsuki branch that directly owns the inheritance of Otsutsuki Hamura can be much better than the Hyuga Clan, and the white eyes of the Hyuga Clan also meet the standards for making giant Tenseigan."
"Calculating the time, it seems that it was three hundred years ago..."
"But I remember that giant Tenseigan on the moon, all made of the white eyes of the Otsutsuki branch family? The bizarre deaths of hundreds of clansmen in the genealogy, were the white eyes robbed by the Otsutsuki branch family, or was it that the Hyuga clan at that time wanted to protect themselves and..."
