In this world, where are the good people!
Hyuga Hiashi touched his head to the ground, his attitude respectful and humble to the extreme.
He was very clear.
The current situation where all members of the main house were branded with the Caged Bird Curse Mark could no longer be changed.
Those branch family members within the clan who already had strong opinions about the main house would inevitably stir up huge waves afterward.
The struggle for power and profit was insignificant.
What he feared most was that those more extreme individuals would develop murderous intentions towards the original main house members!
Moreover, with the appearance of four giant Wood Golems in the Hyuga clan grounds today, causing such a commotion, whether the Hyuga clan would become a laughingstock in the village was one thing.
What worried him most was that they might become targets of attack by supporters of the new Hokage!
If Tsunade and Yamanaka Kei completely lost trust and patience with the Hyuga clan.
Then their ending would probably be even more miserable than that of the Uchiha clan back then, a price they could not afford!
In a situation of internal and external troubles.
The only solution was to simply hand over the control method of the Caged Bird Curse Mark, make clear their position, and completely lean towards the current Hokage faction!
As for the matter of having their life and death controlled by others.
Could it be that now, their life and death could be controlled by themselves?
Moreover, the powerful strength shown by Tsunade and Yamanaka Kei today could largely deter those branch family members who wanted to cause trouble.
The redistribution of power within the clan was inevitable, but it could still reduce some turmoil and sacrifice.
"Get me a cup of tea."
Yamanaka Kei's mind raced, and he roughly understood Hyuga Hiashi's thoughts.
This guy, from the very beginning, wanted to use the clan elders to test the attitude of Konoha's higher-ups. Even if the attitude of Konoha's higher-ups was tough and the two sides were relatively stiff, he, as the clan leader, could use his identity to smooth things over.
If there was a chance, he would retain the restrictions of the Caged Bird on the clan members.
If there was really no chance, he could act according to the circumstances and strive for more benefits for the main house.
In the end, how many of those who could sit firmly in the position of clan leader were simple-minded?
Just like in the original story, when Hyuga Neji said some things he shouldn't have during the Chunin Exams, he turned around and gave him a scroll of last words left by his father, Hyuga Hizashi.
Regardless of the authenticity of this scroll.
Immediately afterward, Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush Plan, and Hinata was once again kidnapped by two ninjas from Cloud Village. He actually asked Hyuga Neji to save Hinata.
When Neji tried his best to fight the enemy but was almost killed, he rescued Neji at the last moment.
This kind of probing method could not be said to be exactly the same.
But the style was indeed the same!
It was just that Hyuga Hiashi had messed up this time. He had never expected that Yamanaka Kei and Tsunade's counterattack would be so strong!
Killing people directly at the slightest disagreement!
As if implying that anyone who disobeys will be slaughtered!
Other than making a decisive move and proactively offering the Caged Bird Curse Mark control method, he had no other choice!
"Yes, Kei-sama."
Hyuga Hiashi saw Yamanaka Kei's indifferent gaze and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Although he didn't know why the other party would choose to drink tea at this time, he immediately took out a complete tea set from the collapsed shrine and quickly brewed tea for him.
As members of the Hyuga clan, a prestigious family in the Ninja World, almost everyone was proficient in the art of tea.
However, the intricate tea ceremony culture that they had always admired only made them feel like they were enduring every second like a year at this moment.
A full ten minutes passed before a cup of hot tea was placed in front of Yamanaka Kei.
"Go."
Yamanaka Kei picked up the teacup, gently blew on the clear tea, and glanced at the collapsed shrine gate to the side.
There, Hyuga Hizu, who was the first to be branded with the Caged Bird Curse Mark and the first to recover from the severe pain of the bloodline seal, was staring at Hyuga Hiashi without blinking.
He hated it!
It was because of this clan leader who had not played any role that he had fallen to this point!
"Yes."
Hyuga Hiashi bowed again, got up and walked to the shrine gate, facing the shrine and kneeling down.
Without the usual cumbersome etiquette and steps, Hyuga Hizu, whose pants were already dry, quickly formed hand seals.
Just over ten seconds later, Hyuga Hiashi's suppressed roar echoed in front of the shrine.
Along with many branch family members who came upon hearing the sound, Hyuga Hizashi, standing more than ten meters away, looked at his brother's grimace and constantly convulsing body, a trace of unbearable flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by perseverance.
Back then, when he was branded with the Caged Bird, he had also been as painful as the other party!
And as long as there is no distinction between the branch family and the main family from now on, then the next generation of children should be able to escape the fate of the Caged Bird, right...
"The control method of the Caged Bird, recite it, louder."
Yamanaka Kei glanced at Hyuga Hizu, who seemed to have gotten his revenge.
"...Yes! The complete sequence of hand seals is, Rat, Rabbit, Tiger, Dragon..."
Hyuga Hizu had already been frightened by Yamanaka Kei's ruthless methods. Fearing that he would become minced meat in the next second, he loudly recited the Caged Bird control method that the main family had always regarded as a treasure.
As for whether the branch family would use the control method of the Caged Bird to persecute him in turn.
Might as well hurt each other!
It's better than becoming minced meat without any resistance!
"Ah..."
Hyuga Hiashi wanted to stop him, but the severe pain of the bloodline seal and Yamanaka Kei's indifferent gaze made him unable to say a word!
Yamanaka Kei took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and glanced at the Hyuga branch family members around him with different expressions.
After putting down the teacup, he got up and walked towards the Hokage Building.
Whoosh
The four Wood Golem clones were reabsorbed into the Immeasurable World.
Listening to the faint sounds of chaos coming from behind him, Yamanaka Kei sneered inwardly.
Long-standing grievances, coupled with the same treatment and methods as the main family.
The Hyuga clan won't be quiet today.
As for how many lives will be lost...
Debts must be repaid!
Anyway, the future Hyuga Hiashi didn't die, and he still had Hinata and Hanabi with his wife.
As for the others, who knows who they are!
...
Within the borders of the Rain Country.
Kitsuchi, wearing the Tsuchikage hat, hurried along.
Behind him, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han, and the Explosion Release ninja Kari, carrying Onoki on his back, followed closely.
"What's the point of going so early? Are you rushing to deliver snacks?"
Onoki grumbled unhappily on Kari's back, looking up at the heavy dark clouds in the sky, sighing repeatedly in his heart.
In just a few days.
Kitsuchi displayed a tough demeanor that was completely different from his usual gentle nature.
Relying on his own considerable strength and excellent popularity, he led those who unconditionally believed in him and followed him, forcefully taking over all the power of Iwagakure and becoming the veritable Fourth Tsuchikage.
Logically speaking, the next things no longer required the participation of him, the retired Third Tsuchikage.
But...
Thinking of the earth-shattering Wood Release, Onoki still couldn't rest assured.
A day ago, while they were on their way, they received news that Konoha had dispatched a large number of experts to exert pressure on the entire Sand Village.
First Generation, Second Generation, Madara Uchiha...
Will Konoha still give them equal treatment as before?
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
One after another, sounds of air being torn apart rang out.
The Third Raikage A, surrounded by lightning, blocked the path of the group with his son and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B.
Behind them, the elite experts of the Cloud Village, led by Dotai, quickly formed a semi-encirclement!
