This was Yumi Hinata's twentieth year as Yumi Hinata.
She sat on the floor in the corner of the room,
Under the moonlight shining through the window,
She slowly braided the little braids on her temples. The evening rain still accumulated on the roof, dripping along the eaves and falling on the bluestone slabs at the door. It was the only sound in this quiet night.
"How is it? Master, "
Yumi Hinata broke the silence. She flung the braids back. "Have you thought about it?"
"Are you going to tell me how to remove the 'Caged Bird' seal,
Or are you going to tell me after I take extreme measures? "
Hinata Hinata lay on the ground. All the meridians and acupoints in his body had been destroyed by Yumi Hinata,
His internal organs had also been severely injured in the short confrontation just now.
At this moment, not to mention condensing Chakra or resisting, he couldn't even stand up. And even if he escaped today's disaster,
He would never be able to recover any of his combat power, let alone be a ninja.
And his father..,
The old Shunsuke Hinata had already fallen to the ground before he realized that something was wrong and entered this room. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
"Don't be delusional..." Hinata Hinata said with difficulty. He swallowed the blood that surged up in his mouth. "If the 'Caged Bird' seal can still be removed,
Then the main family and branch family would have long... "
If he could condense a trace of Chakra now, he could activate the 'Caged Bird' in an instant 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.
It was not until he fell to the ground that he realized that the attacker was Yumi Hinata.
Yumi Hinata pondered for a moment,
She sighed slightly,
She was already mentally prepared that the Caged Bird could not be unlocked, but now that she heard Hinata's words, she could not help but feel disappointed. She tried to make one last effort.
"You see, Master, I was already stronger than you when I was thirteen years old. You know that, but I've always been cautious and conscientious to this day. I've always protected the Hyuga Family and have never disobeyed any of your orders. I don't have any ill intentions towards 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 before, I don't intend to hurt innocent people. I just don't want the previous incident to happen again. Is this too much to ask? "
Hinata Hinata panted laboriously, the bitterness in her heart almost overflowing. Not bad, this request was not too much.
Although Yumi Hinata was a rare genius, she lacked the heart of a strong person in the traditional sense. She graduated from a ninja school at the age of eight, became a chunin at the age of nine, and a jounin at the age of eleven. This kind of talent was unprecedented in the entire history of Konoha. Even Hatake Kakashi, who was the same age as her, was suppressed by her all the way until he could not stand out. But she was indeed weak, and her whole body was full of "womanly kindness".
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 also strong and did not 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 she kill him, brainwash him, and then let him go? Tomorrow, the assassination target was always inseparable from his newlywed wife. If she wanted to kill him, she would inevitably hurt the innocent. With her strength, she could delay a day's mission 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. But Yumi Hinata was not moved. 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 did not need to die in her eyes.
In the eyes of Hinata Hinata, there was no other reason for such behavior other than cowardice. But this cowardly branch family girl was recognized as one of the strongest in Konoha, second only to Hokage. She was also the strongest 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 Clan has always controlled the Branch Family members with the "caged bird", the current and former Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan were not perverts. They didn't have the hobby of treating the Branch Family members as slaves or torturing them. They had always shown enough kindness to the talented Hyuga Yumi, whose parents died early. When she was 15 years old and couldn't stay in Konoha's ninja circle anymore and retired home, the Hyuga Clan overrode their younger brother Hizashi and made her the head of the Branch Family. They gave her the authority and respect second only to the Main Family.
But obviously, this respect was not enough. Yumi Hinata's personality made it impossible for her strength to penetrate deep 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 reprimanded his parents in public. So this twelve-year-old brat, 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 in that instant was enough to make the powerful Yumi Hinata kneel on the ground in pain and cold sweat. At dusk today, Hinata Hinata gave Yumi Hinata an explanation with 120% sincerity: He personally destroyed Naoya Hyuga's meridians permanently, so that he could no longer condense Chakra, and his elder grandfather directly retired.
Probably no one could find fault in this, but unfortunately, Yumi Hinata felt that it was not enough, far from enough.
So now she was here.
Hinata Hinata was speechless.
Yumi Hinata glanced at him, and after confirming that he would not die for a while, she continued to sit on the ground and ponder.
She had already burned everything in this room that could possibly 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, and how to control the degree of activation, etc., 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 greatest reliance of the Yasuji family, and the "caged bird" was the biggest secret of the Yasuji family. It simply and crudely 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 main family's slaves.
It was all 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 did not develop the engraving that would destroy the Sharingan if they died. Besides, even if this function was necessary to protect the family, what about the function of the Circle-tightening Spell?
This was a clear enslavement.
Yumi Hinata was not 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 did not exist, as long as she did not think about it, she would feel much better.
But this second life after the end of her first life was not like this.
Although she had a traditional martial arts soul, she had no interest in working for others as a ninja. When 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 did not require a girl to be a ninja.
Until she was five years old, she was still engraved with the "caged bird".
Her father, who died on the battlefield, could not 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 was also a Chunin, she wore a forehead protector and worked for the main family all day long. 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.
It was not uncommon for ordinary Yasuji to move out of the clan 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 an order, their life, property, and everything else had to be given with both hands.
This was not the future that Yumi Hinata wanted.
From then on, she began to learn the Hyuga family's Gentle Fist. The next year, she entered the ninja school to learn.
It was also from the day that she began to practice Gentle Fist that she discovered that she had been secretly carrying a cheat on her.
Hinata Hinata opened his eyes from his muddled state of mind. He did not 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 imagined that this person would be Yumi Hinata, and that she would be so ruthless. After all, for the past twenty years, she had appeared far too harmless — unexpectedly weak and pointlessly kind.
"I don't like to kill people. Tonight, apart from you and Kunsuki-sama, there were only three elders. I don't know if they've come into contact with the 'caged bird' curse. Although they're from the branch family, they're too close to the Hyuga family's power. I can only …" Yumi Hinata made a regretful expression. "Everyone else is fine, and nobody discovered what happened."
"Previously, I only knocked out Mrs. Eiko, Hinata, and Fireworks. I didn't do anything to them. But now, since you're telling me that there's no way to remove 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 method to avoid the control of the curse to a certain extent, or someone you think might know how to remove the curse. Anything is fine. As long as you tell me something that I agree with, one of the three people can survive. The person who survives will be chosen by you. It doesn't matter if it's Lady Hinata or anyone else. I'm not afraid of their revenge."
"But if you can't tell me anything, I'm afraid that the bloodline of the main family can only be cut off."
Hinata Hinata's breathing was bloody. "… Will you really kill them … Yumi, you've never killed civilians or children … even on the battlefield …"
Yumi Hinata nodded expressionlessly. "That's true. But for the 'caged bird', I'm willing to break all my principles and do anything."
Hinata Hinata didn't doubt that Yumi Hinata wouldn't do such a thing. He was just doing his best and leaving 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 out of anger because the 'caged bird' was activated, it was likely that she would abandon her family and her past weakness.
He knew that he would not be spared today, but after listening to Hyuga Yumi's declaration, his mind was spinning fast. Although Hyuga Yumi did not kill many people tonight, without the 'Caged Bird', would the Branch Family, who had accumulated grievances for a long time, still be loyal to the Main Family like before? From now on, the Yasuji Clan wouldn't be qualified to compete with the Uchiha Clan for the next twenty years.
Hinata was already five years old. According to tradition, all the children of the branch family had been engraved with the 'caged bird' seal. 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, it was more accurate to say that even in the history of the Yasuji Clan, there were only a few people as powerful as Yumi Hinata, and this was under the condition that her Byakugan had a blind spot.
The eldest daughter Hinata, who was only six years old, and the second daughter Fireworks, who had just turned one year old, had not been engraved. One of them had to survive. Otherwise, as Yumi Hinata said, the bloodline of the Yasuji Clan would end 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 Hinata Hinata's tear-stained 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. "Kill me."
Yumi Hinata did not give up. "Is there really nothing else? I don't want someone to suddenly appear and use the 'Caged Bird' on me when 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, Hyuga Hiashi's initial judgment was actually correct. She wouldn't go and kill a child who didn't know anything. Although Matriarch Eiko is also a Jonin, she has been out of the ninja sequence for nearly ten years. She was knocked out by Hyuga Yumi as soon as they met in the bedroom. She didn't even have the chance to react, so she was no threat at all.
After closing Hinata Hinata's eyelids, Yumi Hinata stood up and stretched. She thought about how she would no longer have to worry about offending the great dignity of the Hyuga family from today onwards. She only felt that the sky was clear and the moon was clear. Even if it was the middle of the night, she could see a golden path spreading 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 smashed into 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, are you?"
Metke stood up, his usually excited face expressionless. "Yumi, come back with me."
Yumi Hinata did not strike the starting pose of the 64 palms. She just stood there casually and looked at him with her head tilted. "Why are we going back?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back." I Don't Know The Secret, who was chewing on 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."
