Chapter 200 Hinata's Death
Abolition of caged birds?
No more main and branch families?
Hearing Hyuga Hizuru's words, the Hyuga clansmen in the audience were not as ecstatic as they imagined, but fell into silence, and everyone's face was either shocked or dazed.
Because, they couldn't believe what they heard, it felt like they heard the Arabian Nights.
As a branch family, these people were told from birth that their destiny is to protect the Hyuga clan for the rest of their lives and never betray them.
Otherwise, there is only a dead end.
Under the oppression of the caged bird, the Hyuga people have long been accustomed to this "slave" status, but now they are suddenly told that they are free.
"Master Patriarch, is what you said true? You are not joking..."
Umami Ninhin stood up to Tokuma, representing a group of people, and asked with a look of surprise.
Hinata did not answer with words, but gestured with his eyes, and asked someone to bring Hinata Neji up.
Then, under everyone's gaze.
Shua.
Rizu tore off the bandage wrapped around Ning Ci's head, revealing the latter's smooth forehead.
The caged bird curse imprint originally engraved there was erased.
See this scene.
"Ningji's curse seal disappeared..."
"The patriarch didn't lie to us, he was serious, he really wants to lift our caged bird curse!"
Hyuga clansmen came back to their senses and started discussing excitedly.
The bird in the cage not only restricted Bai Yan's ability, but also allowed the Hinata Sect to control the life of the branch family, so that the branch family had to obey the words of the head family.
This evil curse mark is the source of contradictions within the Hyuga clan.
did not expect.
As a vested interest, the patriarch, Hinata Hinata, would show such courage to take the initiative to abolish the caged bird system that has lasted for thousands of years.
"The patriarch is wise!"
"Long live the Patriarch!"
For a while, cheers from the Hyuga clan resounded in the square, and every family member was full of admiration and gratitude to Hyuga from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing these cheers, Hizuru looked complicated.
He made a gesture of pressing his hands down, signaling the tribe to be quiet.
Then, with a serious face, Hizuru slowly said to the members of the branch family:
"I think, you may have always thought in your heart that the existence of the caged bird is to enslave and divide the clan and consolidate the power of the clan.
But in fact, its greater role is to protect the Hyuga clan and prevent outsiders from coveting the Hyuga clan.
So, I hope you can think clearly, and then rely on the principle of voluntariness to choose to abolish or keep the curse of the caged bird. "
These words stunned everyone in the audience.
Birds in cages to protect them?
fart!
Who wants to be protected like this?
Everyone thought it was Rizu who wanted to go back on his word, and they all scrambled to express their opinions, asking the clan to lift the curse on them.
Seeing the reaction of the clansmen, Hizuru sighed, and said silently in his heart:
Remember, this is your choice.
From now on, you are no longer protected by the caged bird, I hope you will not regret it.
After some statistics.
In the end, only a small group of people chose to continue to coexist with the caged bird, either to show their loyalty to the clan, or because they were too old to care.
The rest of the sub-family chose to do the same as Ningji Hinata, to lift the curse seal and no longer be slaves of the clan.
Everyone lined up in a long line.
As the head of the clan, Hyuga Hyuzu personally released the caged bird for each clansman, allowing them to regain the freedom they dreamed of.
"Great, the **** curse is finally gone."
"Mom, my caged bird curse imprint is gone, and my classmates at ninja school will never laugh at me again."
"Sure enough, without the suppression of the curse seal, my white eyes no longer have blind spots. This feeling is so cool."
"..."
The clansmen who successfully lifted the bird from the cage were overwhelmed with joy and chattered excitedly.
It's finally over.
After lifting the curse seal for the last member of the tribe, Hizuru wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Removing the curse seals for hundreds of people in a row almost exhausted his chakra and made him feel deeply tired.
But, there is one more thing.
Looking at the cheering clansmen in front of him, Hinata Hidetsu's expression gradually became ruthless, and he suddenly raised his voice and said to everyone:
"According to the peace treaty signed between Konoha and the Four Great Ninja Villages, Konoha must hand over a hundred pairs of supercilious eyes as war compensation.
That is to say, one hundred members of the Hyuga clan must sacrifice their eyes for the peace of the village.
Now, it's time to identify the candidates. "
As soon as this remark came out.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and the square fell into silence again.
Hinata's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the heads of everyone in Hinata.
Immediately, there was an uproar.
"There is such a thing?!"
"A hundred pairs of white eyes, with the number of people in the clan, I'm afraid it's not even a tenth. Is that why you're focusing on those of us who are separated from the family?"
"So that's it, it makes sense in this way. After a long time, the patriarch released the caged bird for us, not out of kindness at all, but to ask us to hand over our eyes!"
Everyone in the branch family soon woke up and realized the purpose of the clan headed by Hyuga Hyuzu.
Regarding this, Hizuru looked calm, and only had one sentence:
"As I said before, the bird in the cage is to protect you, and you gave it up yourself."
But his words obviously cannot convince the people who separated the family.
There used to be a bird in a cage, and the branch family didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction with the clan.
But now it's different.
The branch family is no longer restricted by the curse seal, and their number is hundreds of times that of the main family, so are they still afraid that the other party will fail?
The long-term oppression has made everyone in the branch family unhappy. Today, taking this opportunity, it is time to revolt and vent their anger on the clan.
So, the riot happened.
"We will never give up our supercilious eyes!"
"Pull out the Zong family's eyes and let them taste for themselves first, how does it feel to lose their white eyes!"
The members of the family roared in anger.
Facing the furious separation, Hinata Hyuzu shook his head, and had expected this situation a long time ago.
So he calls for rescue.
Whoosh whoosh.
Thousands of figures suddenly rushed into the Hyuga Clan, and surrounded the branch families in the square.
is Konoha Anbe and the elite ninja of the Four Great Ninja Villages.
"kill!"
The two sides fought hand in hand, and a big battle broke out.
Perhaps due to the disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves, or perhaps the lessons learned from the Sarutobi clan, the Hyuga branch quickly lost their fighting spirit and was suppressed without accident.
More than forty Hyuga clansmen died in this riot.
Due to the release of the caged bird, their white eyes were not automatically destroyed, but were preserved intact.
"Remove those white eyes. As for the rest, draw lots to decide. Whoever gets it will goug out his own eyes!"
Hyuga Hinata said coldly.
at this time.
Those clansmen who expressed their loyalty to the clan and chose to keep the curse mark of the bird in the cage couldn't help but secretly laughed.
on the square.
Under the surveillance of Konoha Anbe and the Four Great Ninja Village troops.
Hundreds of members of the Hyuga sub-family no longer dared to make any resistance, and lined up in a long line to conduct a cruel lottery ceremony.
Those who were not drawn were relieved and glad they had escaped.
The people who were drawn were all ashen-faced, slumped on the ground, and even passed out on the spot.
"Ahh!"
Following a scream, the white eyes of more than fifty Hyuga clansmen were gouged out, and finally a hundred pairs were gathered.
"Carry it down."
Rizu looked at those clansmen who lost their eyes, and only said three words.
Afterwards, he handed the collected white eyes to Anbu, and said in a deep voice:
"For the sake of Konoha, the Hyuga clan is willing to make any sacrifices. This has been the case before, and it is even more so now. I hope these hundred pairs of blank eyes will satisfy Hokage-sama and bring peace to Konoha."
His tone was full of humiliation.
"Master Hokage asked me to tell him that he thanked the Hyuga Clan for their contribution to Konoha."
The leader of the dark troop, Ying, said something lightly, and then ordered his subordinates to take Bai Yan away.
Not for a while.
Everyone dispersed, only a few sporadic figures remained in the square.
Hinata Ningji's eyes widened, witnessing what happened just now, the whole person was in horror, unable to recover for a long time.
until the foot of the sun came before him.
"The clan, the clan leader."
Ning Ci took a step back with fear on his face.
What Hinata Hyuzu did to the branch family just now sent shivers down the spine of the young Neji, and saw the ruthlessness of the patriarch.
Hizuru looked down at Neji in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he said:
"From today onwards, your talent will be liberated, and you will no longer be bound by a bird in a cage. In addition, as long as you want to learn the secret arts of the Zong family, I will teach you all of them.
Remember, in the future Hyuga Clan, there will no longer be a difference between the main family and the branch family.
So work hard, let me see what your potential is, and see if you are qualified to replace Hinata and become the head of Mirai Hinata. "
The reason why he said these words to Neji.
On the one hand, it’s because this kid is the son of Richai. For a long time, Rizu felt guilty about Rizai's death and wanted to make up for it.
On the other hand, it was because Hinata was too disappointing.
Hyuga Hinata knows that:
The future Hyuga Clan must be handed over to someone who is better than him, so that they can continue to survive in this increasingly cruel ninja world.
If Hinata can't do it, let Neji or someone else take over the position of patriarch.
Everything is for the family.
Today.
Hyuga clan handed over a hundred pairs of white eyes, and it spread throughout Konoha Village, shocking all Konoha ninjas and villagers.
Those supercilious eyes were acquired by the Four Great Ninja Villages, and they were quickly transplanted.
White eyes, with the ability of farsightedness, perspective, insight, etc., whether it is used for scouting, tracking, or fighting, it is very convenient.
In the past, it was exclusive to the Konoha Hyuga clan, and it caused great trouble to the enemy on the battlefield.
But from this day on, it is no longer the case.
As a hundred pairs of white eyes fell into the hands of the major ninja villages, in the ninja world, a large number of "white-eyed killers" like Qing were born in a blink of an eye.
For Konoha.
What happened to the Hyuga clan is just the beginning.
After this incident, Konoha’s other families were also required to hand over their family secrets, psychic beasts and all valuable things.
Almost all the families with names and surnames in the village were looted by Danzang and the Four Great Ninja Villages jointly, and suffered heavy losses.
People are in constant panic.
In the dead of night, countless Konoha ninjas and villagers were tossing and turning in bed, and they couldn’t help but start to reflect—
The village, why did it become like this?
More and more people are finally realizing.
Konoha's current fate has been doomed since the day the Uchiha clan broke with the village and left.
Originally, from beginning to end.
It's not that Uchiha can't live without Konoha, but that Konoha can't live without Uchiha.
…
The Fourth Ninja World War.
Also became losers, besides Konoha, there was Yuyin Village.
Not long after the Four Great Ninja Villages occupied Konoha, news came one after another:
Shayin Village was invaded by Yuyin's army, and a renjurikira was robbed;
Nano Jinchuriki of Taki Ninja Village was also taken away by people organized by Akatsuki;
In addition, the four-tailed Jin Zhuriki of Yanyin Village, who was wandering outside, was also attacked by Akatsuki.
The information is gathered together, and it is already obvious what Akatsuki's purpose is.
Catch all tail beasts.
Fortunately, Akatsuki's leader Payne was killed by Onoki in a surprise attack on the battlefield that day. Otherwise, Akatsuki might have gathered all nine tailed beasts.
The top five Ninja Village immediately held a meeting.
At the meeting, Gokage agreed that the existence of Ukage and Akatsuki posed a huge threat to the peace of the ninja world.
In order to eradicate this ninja cancer.
The Five Great Ninja Villages quickly formed a new coalition army, starting from Konoha, and aggressively charged towards Yuyin.
Less than half a month.
The Kingdom of Rain fell completely, and the people in the territory were devastated.
The Ninja Allied Forces drove straight in, successfully occupied Yuyin Village, and destroyed Akatsuki's lair in one fell swoop.
Xiao Zai Yuyin's rule ended sadly.
However.
The coalition forces searched Yuyin Village and the entire Land of Rain, but failed to find Renzhuli who was snatched by Akatsuki.
Akatsuki's remnant party fled with Renjuriki and became a hidden danger in the ninja world.
The border of the Land of Rain.
Xiao Nan stood under a cave, staring at the distant sky wistfully.
The country where it is always raining, the place that left her lifelong memories, she will never go back.
The day.
After she returned to Yuyin, she waited for a long time, but she couldn't get Nagato back.
Xiaonan had to recognize the cruel fact: Nagato is dead.
During this period.
Ame Gakure Ninja successfully completed the mission and brought back a tail of Jinchuriki from Sa Gakure;
Loquat Shizang was killed by Sha Yin's Lao Zi, and failed to bring back Siwei;
Although Kadotsu brought back Nanao, he soon turned his back on Payne's death and attacked Xiaonan.
Kakutsu only believes in money.
When he joined Akatsuki, he was also impressed by Payne's strength, and felt that he had found a refuge and could make money without any worries.
Once Payne died, his loyalty to Akatsuki ceased to exist.
Xiaonan also expected this a long time ago, and made preparations.
She successfully escaped from Kakuzu's men.
Xiao Nan withdrew his gaze and glanced inside the cave. There were three little ghosts of about the same age lying on the ground, all of them fell into a deep sleep.
A boy with yellow hair and six beards on his cheeks.
A boy with red hair and black eyes, with the word "Love" carved on his forehead.
There is also a girl with dark skin and blue-green hair.
They are Nine Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, One Tails Jinchuriki Gaara, and Seven Tails Jinchuriki.
