In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
During this month, the village and the Kumo envoys have conducted three large-scale negotiations, and finally finalized all the terms, and officially held the signing ceremony of the peace agreement.
At the same time as the signing ceremony of the peace agreement was held, a large-scale peace celebration was also held in the village.
On this day, almost all the villagers took to the streets, enjoying the joy of peace. The streets were crowded, and the whole village was filled with laughter.
But the atmosphere in the Hyuga Clan, which is part of the Muye Clan, was gloomy and depressed, there was no joy at all.
Under the leadership of Hyuga Richa, a group of members of the Hyuga Clan came to the front of the main house with a solemn face.
Looking at his elder brother Hyuga Hiashi who was standing quietly in front of the main house, and the eldest sister Hyuga Hinata who was hiding behind Hiashi, Richa said indifferently: "Hinata -san is already three years old, congratulations."
As the elder brother, Hiashi nodded lightly: "En."
At this time, Ningci whispered to his father Richa: "Father, Hinata -san is so cute!"
Richa looked at Ningci with an indescribable complex look.
Ningci was puzzled: "Father, what's wrong?"
Richa turned his head: "No … nothing."
Hyōjin on the side saw this scene and shook his head gently.
Obviously, until now, Richa didn't tell Ningci everything about the 'caged bird', it can be seen that deep in his heart, he deeply rejected the coming moment.
Hiashi didn't seem to notice Richa's attitude, or maybe he didn't care, still said lightly: "Leave Ningci to me."
Hizashi-sama bowed and said, "Yes."
Watching the main family slowly leave with the young Ningci, Richa's face was gloomy.
No matter how much he rejected or resisted it, this moment had finally arrived, and he had no way to stop it from happening.
Suddenly, at the corner at the end of the street, a Hyuga clansman sitting in a wheelchair appeared, his face was very old, he looked like he was in his forties, looking at this side calmly.
Hyōjin asked Richa, "Who is he?"
Distracted, Richa glanced back and said, "His name is Takagi. He's also a member of the branch family."
"Green Tree!?"
Hyōjin was startled. This name was very unfamiliar to him, and he had almost never heard his clansmen talk about it.
Seeing that Hyōjin was a little confused, Richa said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of his name. He was locked up in prison and was only recently released."
Hyōjin asked curiously, "What did he do?"
"He failed in his duty!" After a pause, Richa said with a lonely expression, "In the third shinobi war, he and his younger brother Futaba were the personal guards of the main family. As a result, one of the Byakuga was taken by the enemy on the battlefield. Therefore, his younger brother Futaba was executed for dereliction of duty. Because he lost his legs in the battle, he was not sentenced to death and was imprisoned. "
Hearing Richa's words, Hyōjin immediately remembered that the Kirin did take a Byakuga on the battlefield, but this matter was regarded as a shame by the Hyuga Clan, so it was rarely mentioned in the clan, and Hyōjin was still young at that time, so he didn't know about these old matters.
When Hyōjin came back to his senses, Takagi had already disappeared from the corner at the end of the street.
In the afternoon, Hiashi left Richa and his son, as well as Hyōjin, at the main family's residence.
In the practice room.
Hiashi was instructing Hinata on the soft boxing of the Hyuga Clan, while Richa, Ningci, and Hyōjin sat aside and watched quietly.
"The pace is too messy …"
"You can't hit the enemy at this speed …"
"Why are you hesitating? You can't have any hesitation when you punch … "
Hiashi's stern reprimand kept coming from the field. He was like a harsh teacher, pointing out Hinata's shortcomings one by one.
The young Hinata could only gasp and whisper in response.
Ningci looked at Hinata, who was working hard on the field, with a faint smile on his face. He liked this shy sister the first time they met.
Richa glanced at Ningci, whose forehead was already bandaged. He sighed and said, "Ningci, listen carefully. You were born to protect Miss Hinata and the main family. This is your destiny!"
Ningci didn't hear the seriousness in Richa's tone. His eyes were still on Hinata. "Yes, father!"
Ningci's straightforward answer made Richa feel more guilty. He looked at Hinata with a cold expression.
In Richa's eyes, Hinata, as the heir of the main family, couldn't compare with his son Ningci in any aspect. As for Neji, it was only because of his useless father that he was branded with the curse of 'Caged Bird' that he would never be able to break free from. On the other hand, Hinata, a mediocre member of the main family, was able to openly enjoy the power of controlling the branch family.
At this moment, a huge unwillingness burst out from his heart. Even he didn't realize that under the drive of instinct, the Byakugan in his eye sockets had unconsciously opened.
"Murderous aura!"
Almost at the same time, both Hiashi and Hyōjin sensed the cold murderous aura coming from Richa!
Hiashi immediately found the source of the murderous aura and shouted at Richa, "Seal!"
In an instant, the Byakugan that Richa had opened was sealed, and the "Caged Bird" curse on his forehead also flashed with a green light.
"Ah …"
As the "Caged Bird" curse emitted a burst of green light, Richa held his head with both hands and rolled on the ground in pain, wailing.
The panicked Ningci hurriedly rushed up. "Father, what's wrong?"
Although he didn't understand what was going on, it didn't prevent Ningci from feeling the pain his father was suffering. Two lines of tears immediately flowed down from his eyes.
Hyōjin, who was on the side, didn't do anything. Instead, he observed this scene calmly.
"It can be activated instantly without complicated seals?"
This was the first time Hyōjin had seen the "Caged Bird" curse being activated. In almost an instant, Hiashi, who had activated the "Caged Bird" curse, easily sealed the Byakugan that Richa had opened.
In other words, even if the two of them were equal in strength, the branch family had no ability to resist in front of the main family.
"To be able to make a ninja like Richa let out such a tragic wail, the" Caged Bird "really acts directly on the brain nerves!"
For an elite jonin like Richa, the pain on the skin and flesh was nothing at all. Only the "Caged Bird" that acted directly on the brain nerves could make him wail in pain and completely lose the ability to fight.
Hiashi stopped the "Caged Bird" and said lightly, "Go back, I will forgive you idiot, but only for today. Don't forget your destiny!"
