A bloody case caused by a naughty child.
This was Yumi Hinata's twentieth year as Yumi Hinata.
She sat on the floor in the corner of the room, slowly braiding her hair under the moonlight from the window. Some of the evening rain still accumulated on the roof, dripping along the eaves and falling on the bluestone by the door. It was the only sound in this quiet night.
"How is it, Master?" Lord Patriarch, "Hyuga Yumi broke the silence, flinging her braids back," Have you thought about it? "
"Do you want to tell me how to lift the 'Caged Bird' seal now, or do you want to wait until I take extreme measures before telling me?"
Hinata Hinata was lying on the ground. His meridians and acupoints were destroyed by Yumi Hinata, and his internal organs were also severely damaged in the short confrontation just now. At this moment, forget about condensing Chakra or resisting, he couldn't even stand up. Even if he escaped today's disaster, he would never be able to recover any combat power, let alone become a ninja.
And his father, the old Shunsuke Hinata, was already lying on the ground before he realized that something was wrong and entered the room. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
"Don't be delusional …" Hinata Hinata said with difficulty. He swallowed the blood in his mouth, "If the 'Caged Bird' seal could be lifted, then the main family and branch family would have already …"
If he could condense a trace of Chakra, he could instantly activate the 'Caged Bird' and take Yumi Hinata's life. Unfortunately, her movements were too fast. Hinata Hinata realized that something was wrong and fell to the ground in less than three seconds. He only realized that the attacker was Yumi Hinata after he fell to the ground.
Yumi Hinata pondered for a moment and sighed slightly. She was already mentally prepared that the 'Caged Bird' seal couldn't be lifted, but when she heard Hinata's words, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. She tried to make a final effort.
"Look, Master, I was already stronger than you when I was thirteen. You know this, but I've always been cautious and conscientious. I've always been protecting the main family and have never disobeyed any of your orders. I don't mean any harm to anyone in the Hyuga family. And you know me, I don't like to see blood, I don't like to kill people. Even if I was humiliated like that, I don't intend to hurt innocent people. I just don't want the past to happen again. Is this request too much? "
Hinata Hinata struggled to catch his breath. The bitterness in his heart almost overflowed. Yes, this request wasn't too much.
Although Yumi Hinata was a rare genius, she lacked the traditional sense of a strong person. She graduated from a ninja school at eight, became a Chunin at nine, and a Jounin at eleven. Such talent was unprecedented in the entire history of Konoha. Even Hatake Kakashi, who was the same age as her, couldn't stand in the limelight because of her. However, she was indeed a weak person. Her entire body was filled with 'soft-heartedness'.
It was still okay during the war. Although she was always crying and killing enemies, her opponents were all ninjas of the enemy country. She was strong and didn't make any mistakes. After the end of the Third World War, Yumi Hinata began to cause trouble in various missions. Today, the spy was only seven years old. He was still a child. How could they kill him? Couldn't they just brainwash him and let him go? Tomorrow, the assassination target was always inseparable from his newlywed wife. If they wanted to kill him, they would inevitably hurt the innocent. With her strength, a day's mission could be delayed for half a month. Later on, she even refused to torture the captives.
This caused the higher-ups of the village and her teammates to complain about her. However, Yumi Hinata remained unmoved. She seemed to have a unique set of standards that were different from the rules of ninja. Even if she was reprimanded and punished, she refused to hurt those who didn't need to die in her eyes.
In the eyes of Hinata Hinata, there was no other reason for such behavior other than cowardice. However, this cowardly branch family girl was recognized as one of the strongest people in Konoha, second only to Hokage. She was also the strongest person in the Hyuga family. Just as she said, ever since she was thirteen years old, Hinata Hinata, as the head of the family, was no longer her opponent.
Although the Hyuga family had always used 'caged birds' to control the branch family members, the current and former head of the Hyuga family weren't perverts. They didn't have the hobby of treating their relatives as slaves or torturing them. They had always been kind to Yumi Hinata, who had lost her parents early. When she finally retired at the age of fifteen, she couldn't survive in the Konoha ninja circle anymore. When she finally retired at the age of fifteen, they even went over their younger brother Yasuji's Diurnal Difference and made her the head of the branch family. They gave her enough authority and respect, second only to the main family.
But obviously, this respect wasn't enough. Yumi Hinata's personality made it so that her strength couldn't penetrate into everyone's heart. Especially after she retired from the Jonin Sequence five years ago.
One of the elders of the Hyuga family, Hinata Hinata's uncle, had a twelve-year-old grandson, Naoya. Although he was from the branch family and his talent was average, he was spoiled to the point that he wanted to turn the world upside down. Two days ago, Yumi Hinata saw him bullying a child of the same clan. As the head of the branch family, she taught him a lesson and even reprimanded his parents in public. Therefore, this twelve-year-old child, although he also had the 'caged bird' engraved on his forehead, fearlessly sneaked into the room of the former head of the Hyuga family and stole the curse scroll to activate the 'caged bird'. Yesterday morning, Yumi Hinata activated it in front of everyone in the training ground.
Even if his strength was infinitely close to the level of a Kage, this kind of curse that directly affected the nerves of the brain severely injured Yumi Hinata in an instant.
Although Naoya Hyuga was immediately knocked down, the damage done in that instant was enough to make the powerful Yumi Hinata kneel on the ground in pain, moaning in pain and sweating profusely. At dusk today, Hinata Hinata gave Yumi Hinata an explanation with full sincerity: He personally destroyed Naoya Hyuga's meridians permanently, so that he could no longer condense Chakra, and his elder grandfather retired.
Probably no one could find fault in this, but unfortunately, Yumi Hinata felt that it wasn't enough, far from enough.
So now she was here.
Hinata Hinata was speechless.
Yumi Hinata glanced at him, and after confirming that he wouldn't die for a while, she continued to sit on the ground and think.
She had already burned everything in this room that might be related to the 'caged bird'. No, not only this room that belonged to the head of the family, but also the spacious basement, the meeting room where the elders gathered and discussed, the place of sacrifice, and the rooms of a few family members who might have come into contact with the 'caged bird' curse. She had also searched and burned everything, and the owners of these rooms had their meridians permanently destroyed by her.
There was no better way to do this than the Supercilious Eyes.
But just as Hinata Hinata said, all she could find was how to engrave the 'caged bird', how to activate it, how to control the degree of activation, and so on. But there was no record of how to dispel the curse.
She had already killed the former head of the family, and Hinata Hinata would definitely die later. After all, they were the living guide to the 'caged bird'.
Now Yumi Hinata was thinking about whether or not there was anyone else who had to die.
The Supercilious Eyes were the biggest reliance of the Yasuji family, and the 'caged bird' was the biggest secret of the Yasuji family. It simply and violently separated the main family and the branch family, so that all the benefits would be concentrated in the main family, and everyone in the branch family would become the slaves of the main family.
It was nonsense to say that it was to protect the Supercilious Eyes from others. The Uchiha's Sharingan was stronger than the Supercilious Eyes, but they didn't develop any engraving that would destroy the Sharingan if they died. Besides, even if this function was necessary to protect the family members, what about the function of the 'hoop curse'?
This was clearly enslavement.
Yumi Hinata wasn't a native of this world. She was born under the red flag and grew up in the new China. She could already make people feel that she was relatively free. Even if she knew that absolute freedom and equality didn't exist, as long as she didn't think about it, she would feel much better.
However, the second life he obtained after his first life ended was not like this.
Although she had a traditional martial arts soul, she had no interest in working for others as a ninja. Since she was young, she had made up her mind to open a snack bar when she grew up, promote traditional Chinese food, have a few happy relationships, give birth to or adopt one or two cute children. In short, she wanted to live an ordinary but fulfilling second life that was hard to come by.
Although she knew about the Supercilious Eyes' Kekkei Genkai and the 'caged bird', she never associated them with herself. She was an ordinary little girl in a peaceful era. She never had the consciousness to open her eyes, practice taijutsu, or even kill people on the battlefield.
The Hyuga family didn't have a requirement for girls to be ninjas.
Until she was five years old, she was still engraved with the 'caged bird'.
Her father, who died on the battlefield, couldn't help her. Even if he was still alive, he would probably say something like 'you were born to protect the main family and continue the bloodline and glory of the Hyuga family'. Although her mother also had the strength of a Chunin, she wore a forehead protector and worked for the main family all day long. And this was even considered as taking care of her.
At that time, Yumi Hinata realized for the first time what the main family and branch family meant in the Hyuga family.
Ordinary Yasuji clansmen moved out of their ancestral land to live and do some small business. But even so, they still had to obey all the orders of the main family. Once the main family gave the order, their life, property, and everything else had to be given with both hands.
This wasn't the future that Yumi Hinata wanted.
From then on, she began to learn the gentle fist of the Hyuga family. In the second year, she entered the ninja school to learn.
