It was a dark and windy night, a night of murder and betrayal.
"Forget it. If you say it can't be lifted, then it can't be lifted." Yumi Hinata shook her head. She walked over to Hinata Hinata and lifted him up by his hair. "Wake up, master. How about we make a deal?"
Hinata Hinata opened his eyes from his muddled state. He didn't know what Yumi Hinata wanted to do. In his deepest nightmares, he had seen the scene of the branch family betraying the main family more than once. But he never thought that the person who betrayed him was Yumi Hinata. And she was so ruthless. After all, she had been too harmless for the past twenty years. She was unexpectedly weak and pointlessly kind.
"I don't like to kill people. Tonight, other than you and Junsuke-sama, there are only three elders. I don't know if they have come into contact with the 'Caged Bird' curse. Although they are from the branch family, they are too close to the power of the Hyuga family. So, they can only …" Yumi Hinata made a regretful expression. "The others are safe and sound, and no one knows what happened."
"Previously, I only knocked out Mrs. Yingko, Hinata, and Fireworks. I didn't do anything to them. But now, since you tell me that you can't lift the 'Caged Bird' curse, we have to discuss it." Yumi Hinata raised three fingers. "Please tell me something that you think I should know. Whether it's other places where the curse might be kept, or some way to avoid the manipulation of the curse to some extent, or someone you think might know how to lift the curse. Anything is fine. If you say something that I agree with, one of the three people can live. The person who survives will be chosen by you. It doesn't matter if it's Milady Hinata or anyone else. I'm not afraid of their revenge."
"But if you don't say anything, I'm afraid that the bloodline of the main family can only be cut off."
Hinata Hinata's breath was bloody. "… Will you really kill them … Yumi, you have never killed civilians and children … even on the battlefield …"
Yumi Hinata nodded expressionlessly. "That's true. But for the 'Caged Bird', I can break all my principles and do anything."
Hinata Hinata didn't doubt that Yumi Hinata wouldn't do such a thing. He just did what he could and left the rest to fate.
After tonight, Yumi Hinata's only way out was to leave Konoha and become a rebellious ninja. Since she chose this path because the 'Caged' was triggered, she would probably abandon her family and's's's past weakness.
He Hinata's death............ Although Yumi Hinata didn't kill, but without the 'Caged bird', the branch family................... without the 'Caged'............. From now on, the Yasuji Clan wouldn't be qualified to compete with the Uchiha Clan for the next twenty years.
Hinata was five years old. According to tradition, all the children of the branch family had been engraved with the 'Caged Bird' mark. Even if there was a talented child like her nephew Hinata, they would never be able to compete with Yumi Hinata in the future. No, even in the history of the Yasuji Clan, there were only a handful of people as powerful as Yumi Hinata, and this was under the condition that her Byakugan had a blind spot.
Without the mark, the eldest daughter Hinata, who was only six years old, and the second daughter Fireworks, who had just turned one year old, must survive. Otherwise, as Yumi Hinata said, the Yasuji Clan's bloodline would be cut off tonight. Hinata Hinata would never allow this to happen.
"In the Land of Rain … Ji Zhichuan … Yasuji's shrine before he moved to Konoha … there may be records of the 'Caged Bird'."
Yumi Hinata nodded. "I know. I was planning to go there next. This doesn't count."
"But you don't know the sequence of seals to open the shrine …"
"That's true." Yumi Hinata put down Hinata Hinata so that he could lean against the wall and sit up straight. "Very well. Please tell me."
There were a total of ten seals. Yumi Hinata counted silently and smiled for the first time tonight. "Well, master, now you can choose who to let live first."
Hinata Hinata closed her eyes. Her eldest daughter Hinata was not very talented. Although Fireworks might be a talented child, she was at most like Hinata. It was impossible to expect her to take revenge on Yumi Hinata when she grew up. However, if she was alone, it would be extremely difficult for her to survive the counterattack of the branch family.
Therefore, it was better to choose Hinata.
"Hinata …" After saying that, Hinata Hinata thought of Fireworks, who had just learned to walk, and his gentle wife. He felt that his internal organs, which had been injured by Yumi Hinata, were burning again, and he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
"Don't be like this." Yumi Hinata looked at the tears in Hinata Hinata's eyes and said gently, "I thought you wouldn't cry. After all, when your brother, Diurnal Difference, died for you, I didn't see any expression on your face. Since you're so sad, can't you just give me some other clues? "
Hinata Hinata shook his head. "Just kill me."
Yumi Hinata was still unwilling to give up. "Is there really nothing else? I don't want someone to suddenly appear and use the 'Caged Bird' on me while I'm having a good time outside. That will make me very, very angry. Maybe I'll be so angry that as long as I survive, I'll rush back to the Hyuga family to kill people. "
Hinata Hinata just shook his head.
Yumi Hinata sighed helplessly and reached out to break his throat.
However, Hinata Hinata's initial judgment was right. She wouldn't go and kill a child who didn't know anything. Although Matriarch Eiko also had the strength of a Jonin, she had been out of the ninja sequence for nearly ten years. When Yumi Hinata knocked her out in the bedroom, she didn't even have the chance to react. She couldn't be considered a threat at all.
After closing Hinata Hinata's eyelids, Yumi Hinata stood up and stretched. Thinking that from today onwards, she wouldn't have to worry about offending the great dignity of the Hyuga family. She only felt that the sky was clear and the moon was clear. Even in the middle of the night, she seemed to see a golden path spread out in front of her.
Yumi Hinata took one last look at the mansion before leaving Konoha.
The next afternoon, at the border between the Fire Nation and the Land of Rain, Yumi Hinata, who had been leaping through the forest at high speed, suddenly stopped. In front of her, Metke, who was dressed in emerald green, flew past her like a cannonball and landed, smashing a small piece of gravel. Following closely behind, I Don't Know The Secret also landed beside him, blocking Yumi Hinata's path.
Yumi Hinata wanted to sigh again. "Kai, Genma, you're not here to send me off, right?"
Metke stood up, his usually excited face expressionless. "Yumi, come back with me."
Yumi Hinata didn't get into the starting position of the 64 palms. She just stood there casually, tilting her head as she looked at him. "Why are we going back?"
"Let's go back and explain." I Don't Know The Secret, who was chewing on the Senbon, also had a serious expression. "You didn't do anything to the Hyuga family, did you?"
"I can tell you now," Yumi Hinata said crisply. "Last night, no, the night before last, I killed Shunsuke Hinata, Hinata Hinata, and three elders. I burned some things and then fled to avoid punishment."
Metke broke a tree next to him with a punch and roared, "Why?! You're so, so … "He remembered the time before Yumi Hinata quit the ninja sequence, when he, Yumi Hinata, and I Don't Know The Secret had teamed up together. He also remembered the missions that were complicated because of Yumi's nagging." Sometimes you don't even want to kill spies. Why did you kill your own family?! "
Yumi Hinata pulled off her forehead protector and threw it on the ground. She pointed at her forehead and shouted even louder than him. "Why? Of course it's because of this damn 'Caged Bird'! "
She took two deep breaths to calm herself down. "Since you know that I'm the one who killed him, then you must have heard about that matter. I can kill a hundred of those little kids with one punch, and it's all because of this damned seal. In front of so many people, in front of so many people, it made me kneel on the ground and cry in pain! As long as there's a spell, anyone can kill me easily! Family? Don't insult the family head. He only thinks that he's my master. "
Metke pursed his lips. After a moment, he said, "Didn't you say that Hinata Hinata apologized to you?"
Yumi Hinata snorted. "Apologized? Guy, you don't understand the Hyuga family. The noble main family won't apologize to a lowly branch family. He only punished the child and informed me. Besides, how precious is his reputation? Will his apology make up for what I've suffered? "Yumi Hinata shook her head." He can't. No one can. "
"So you killed him."
I Don't Know The Secret added, "And Shunsuke Hinata -sama and the three elders."
"No, I didn't do it in a moment of anger. I'm just saying this to let you know what a 'Caged Bird' is."
Mike Guy wasn't known for his astuteness, but after years of tacit understanding, he immediately understood what she meant. "So … even if this didn't happen, you would still kill them. You've been planning this for a long time, and this has always been your plan."
"Yes." Yumi Hinata grinned without a trace of a smile. "I've been looking forward to this day since I was five and was engraved with the 'Caged Bird'."
"Looking forward to this day? Looking forward to being Konoha's defector? Looking forward to fighting me and Guy? " I Don't Know The Secret said, "Come back with us. You can't do this. You've never caught a defector before. You don't understand what this means. Since there's a reason for this, and Hinata Zongjia is dead, no one will dare to ask for a heavy sentence. You don't have to do this. "
Yumi Hinata still shook her head. "It's not that I don't understand. It's that you don't understand. Do you still remember what Uncle Dai said when he saved us from the Seven Legendary Swordsmen? 'True victory is not to defeat the enemy, but to protect the most important thing in your heart.' To me, the most important thing is that I'm a human. I'm neither a tool nor a slave, and I'm not a dog. You want to be my master just because you branded me? Dream on."
"Well, they're all dead now. Come back with me. Guy, Kakashi, Asuma, and I will plead for you!"
