I might be a fake Ultraman.

Konoha Village.

main entrance.

A six-year-old child, dressed in a kimono, with white eyes and short black hair, is walking calmly toward Konoha Village.

The two ninjas guarding the gate immediately fixed their gazes on the child.

"Those eyes...are they white eyes?"

"The Hyuga family? There's no Caged Bird Seal, so could it be the main family? But why would a child from the Hyuga main family be out here?"

This was during World War III, and anything unusual would raise alarm.

Finally, the little boy arrived at the door, looked at the two ninjas guarding the gate, and said cautiously, "Um, I am Hyuga Hibiki. I heard that there are clansmen in Konoha with the same eyes as me, so I've come to recognize my relatives."

Gatekeeper ninja: "?!?!"

After it was confirmed that Hyuga Hibiki truly possessed the Byakugan and was not a ninja or a spy who had used the Transformation Technique, information about him was immediately reported to the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was reviewing the battle report, almost dropped his cigarette and set the documents on the table on fire.

The point of Hibiki Hyuga's appearance is not his existence, but the implication of this event.

This means that the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit may have been lost to outsiders!
"Bring that child to me immediately!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice.

But Danzo Shimura arrived a step ahead of Hibiki Hyuga.

"Hiruzen, I heard a wild Byakugan has appeared? He's likely a spy from another village! Hand him over to my Root, and I'll make him a sword of Konoha!"

After Shimura Danzo entered, he began to talk to himself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched.

As an old friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Hibiki Hyuga's affair could not be kept from Danzo Shimura, but he did not expect Danzo Shimura to be so shameless.

Which ninja village would send someone with Byakugan blood to be a spy?

Besides, it wasn't even the kind of bird that had been caged.

"Danzo, don't think about that child anymore. He will return to the Hyuga clan," Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, taking a drag of his cigarette.

Danzo Shimura said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied sternly, "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Doesn't Hiruzen Sarutobi want that child?

How can it be!

He dreamed of having a Byakugan bloodstained ninja of his own, not one from a branch family of the Hyuga clan.

Unfortunately, the child appeared openly at the entrance of Konoha Village, and someone had already seen him, so it was impossible to hide him secretly.

Moreover, Konoha is currently embroiled in the Third Shinobi World War, so it's even less likely that the Hyuga clan would be dissatisfied over a child who has been living away from home.

Matters involving the bloodline limits of ninja clans cannot be discussed openly.

Without being touched by the autumn wind, Shimura Danzo turned and left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, saying, "There's a possibility that the Byakugan bloodline has been lost elsewhere; we must investigate this matter."

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and slammed the door shut as he left.

You expect him to work without giving him any benefits?
But he really had to do this job.

On one hand, it was to prevent the Byakugan bloodline from being lost outside; on the other hand, it was naturally to see if there was a second Byakugan bloodline possessor outside, and then secretly take control of him.

Door: Bang!
……

Soon after Shimura Danzo left, Hyuga Hibiki was taken to the Hokage Building and met Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hinata Hibiki was very reserved and clearly uneasy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hibiki Hyuga with a kind expression, but while observing from the shadows, he didn't notice anything unusual.

Hinata Hibiki's unease didn't seem feigned.

It perfectly describes how an ordinary boy from another village would react upon meeting the Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't do much, but simply inquired about Hibiki Hyuga's previous situation.

Hinata Hibiki, or rather Li Xiang, shared the story that Baili Yuan had previously made up for him.

His mother died of illness when he gave birth to Hinata Hibiki, and he didn't know who his father was. He was adopted by a wandering doctor, and the two of them lived in seclusion in the mountains.

When he was six years old, before the passing of Dr. Yufang, he was told that Hibiki Hyuga's eyes were the Byakugan bloodline of the Hyuga family.

The reason why Hyuga Hibiki wasn't informed beforehand was because the wandering doctor had heard about the Hyuga family's main and branch family system and was worried that Hyuga Hibiki would become a slave of the main family.

However, the wandering doctor could no longer take care of Hyuga Hibiki, so he could only let Hyuga Hibiki come to Konoha to join the Hyuga clan. Even if she became a branch family member, it would be better than her being wandering outside and being persecuted by other ninja villages.

At least Konoha and the Hyuga clan will guarantee his safety and allow him to survive.

The place where the wandering doctor and Hyuga Hibiki lived in seclusion was not particularly far from Konoha Village, which is why Hyuga Hibiki was able to find Konoha Village on her own.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly. This reason was barely acceptable, but the specifics still needed to be investigated by the Anbu.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office, and a figure walked in.

Long, straight black hair, white eyes.

He is the new head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi.

Hiashi Hyuga heard a report that a Hyuga clan child had been taken to the Hokage's office, and that the child did not have the Caged Bird Seal on his forehead.

Hiashi Hyuga immediately became restless.

They rushed to the Hokage's office to rescue him.

However, when Hiashi Hyuga saw Hibiki Hyuga, his expression changed slightly.

Because he didn't remember having this child in the clan. Although the Hyuga clan has a large population, the number of newborns each year is limited, and Hyuga Hiashi remembers all the children.

However, Hiashi Hyuga had no recollection of Hibiki Hyuga.

"Hiashi, you're here. Let me explain." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

quite a while.

Hibiki Hyuga was taken back by Hiashi Hyuga, and the Hyuga clan was given full authority over Hibiki's future.

After the two left, Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table.

A figure from the secret service appeared instantly.

"Spotted Pig, is there a problem?"

"Reporting to the Hokage, no abnormalities were detected in the Yamanaka clan's secret technique."

"I understand, thank you for your hard work. Now, your team will go and investigate that child's matter with Root."

"Yes!"

The next instant, the figures from the Dark Division vanished.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a couple of puffs of his cigarette, sighed, and continued reviewing the battle reports.

"A troubled autumn..."

……

Hyuga clan.

The elders of the Hyuga main family were furious about Hibiki Hyuga's appearance, as they felt it was a sign that the branch family was out of control.

This is a challenge to the status of the main family!
Ultimately, the punishment for Hyuga Hibiki was to brand him with the Caged Bird Seal.

Once it was confirmed that Hyuga Hibiki indeed possessed the Byakugan, he naturally couldn't be allowed to roam freely, and Hyuga Hibiki was not qualified to become a member of the main family.

In addition, this is also Hiruzen Sarutobi's hint to Hiashi Hyuga: no matter who Hibiki Hyuga is, once he is put in the Caged Bird Seal, he will no longer be able to cause any trouble.

Knowing about Hibiki Hyuga's past, Hiashi Hyuga's gaze towards Hibiki held a complex meaning.

If the wandering doctor who adopted Hinata Hinata hadn't passed away so early, perhaps Hinata Hinata would have truly had the chance to gain complete freedom.

However, although Hibiki Hyuga lost her freedom in the future, she also gained a birdcage where she could survive.

Hyuga Hiashi's gaze fell on Hyuga Hizashi, the branch family head and his younger brother.

Hyuga Hizashi didn't look at him, but calmly stared at the ground. However, the veins on Hyuga Hizashi's tightly clenched hands were already slightly bulging.

Perhaps it's a case of feeling sorry for someone of the same kind?

Finally, the ceremony of branding the caged bird began.

Hinata Hibiki was a little nervous.

Because success or failure hinges on this one move!

To be honest, being like a caged bird doesn't feel good.

It still hurts a lot.

The moment the caged bird was branded, Hibiki Hyuga finally heard the voice he had been waiting for.

"Holy crap! I made it! The boss wasn't lying to me!"

Hyuga Hibiki subconsciously activated his Tenseigan, and his white eyes instantly transformed into clear and bright Tenseigan.

The caged bird brand that had just been applied to his forehead was still warm when it was shattered by the power of the Tenseigan.

At the same time, the chakra pressure of a Kage-level powerhouse, along with the pressure released by the Tenseigan, crashed down on all the elders in the room.

In the blink of an eye, the elders were forced to the ground, like dead dogs. (End of Chapter)
