Chapter 371 A Change of Fortune! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Hyuga Hizashi was still wearing that dark gray kimono, and his hair was tied back as usual.

However, his forehead was no longer covered by the ninja headband.

"You actually broke the Caged Bird Seal!!!"

A tremendous storm raged in Hyuga Hiashi's heart, and his eyes turned completely cold.

He originally thought it was just a foolish rebellion, doomed to failure, launched by a group of brainwashed traitors led by his younger brother, Hizashi.

However, after seeing the pair of wings that seemed to take flight on Hyuga Hizashi's forehead...
Hiashi Hyuga instantly understood that this was not a foolish rebellion destined to fail, but a meticulously planned conspiracy to seize power!

"When did the planning for the family division begin? Was it Uncle Minghong, or did it start even earlier?"

Hiashi Hyuga didn't believe his younger brother Hizashi had the ability to break the Caged Bird Seal; clearly, this was a conspiracy that the branch family had been planning for many years.

Hyuga Hizashi was taken aback at first, then covered his face and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"

"I always thought that the caged bird was a tool used by the main family to imprison the branch family, but I never expected that the main family would lock themselves in a cage as well!"

Hyuga Hizashi removed his hands from his face, revealing a look of sympathy and pity for his older brother, Hiashi.

Why go through all this trouble for a mere Caged Bird Seal? Master Sheng can easily come up with three ways to break it!

Three kinds!!!
Hyuga Hizashi had no doubt that if Katsura-sama were willing, he could definitely come up with even more ways to break the deadlock.

"Brother! Your white eyes have been confined to the territory of your clan for too long, and you can no longer see the wider sky!"

Hyuga Hizashi's gaze toward his brother Hiashi grew increasingly compassionate, like the compassion of an eagle soaring in the sky for a domesticated bird raised by a farmer.

This condescending, pitying gaze instantly enraged Hiashi Hyuga.

"Hizashi, you're too arrogant!"

Hiashi Hyuga habitually formed a hand seal, attempting to activate the Caged Bird Seal on Hizashi's head.

Seeing that his younger brother Hizashi had no reaction, Hiashi Hyuga's anger intensified.

With a stomp of its hind foot, it charged towards Hyuga Hizashi.

"I will show you that even without the Caged Bird Seiryu, the main family is still the main family!"

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hiashi Hyuga has unleashed his full power!
In an instant, countless palm shadows enveloped Hizashi's body.

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hyuga Hizashi retaliated against his brother with the same move.

boom! boom! boom!
Bang bang bang!
Poke! Take! Move! Block! Smash!
The two brothers pointed at each other and palms against palms, and for a time they were evenly matched.

After a series of combos, Hiashi Hyuga had to admit that he was completely unable to break through Hizashi's moves.

"Eight Trigrams: Reversal of Fortune!"

Since Baguazhang couldn't break through Risa's moves, he would use the sect's secret technique to do so.

Although it may seem unethical, this is the truth, and it's also a secret technique of the main family. Why shouldn't he use it?
"Eight Trigrams: Reversal of Fortune!"

However, just as Hiashi Hyuga's body began to spin and the pale blue Rejuvenation Shield was about to appear...

Hyuga Hizashi also activated the same secret technique!
Two identical Rejuvenation Shields appeared almost simultaneously around the bodies of the Hyuga brothers.

Bang! ! !
The shields protecting Hiashi and Hizashi exploded simultaneously, and the two brothers were forced back at the same time.

boom! boom! boom!
The dissipated chakra bombarded the surrounding land, blasting out craters of varying sizes and filling the sky with dust.

Before the dust had even settled, Hyuga Hiashi exclaimed in shock, "The main family's secret technique of reversing death! How could you possibly know it?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Hyuga Hizashi retorted.

"The secret of the Rejuvenation Technique lies in the manipulation of chakra during high-speed rotation, and in this aspect, my talent surpasses yours, brother!"

Hiashi Hyuga's heart sank; Hizashi's strength was greater than he had imagined.

And
Hiashi Hyuga looked behind his younger brother Hizashi, where the branch family ninjas who had come with Hizashi had disappeared.

From inside the mansion behind them, short screams could be heard from time to time!

"Keiko Hinata"

Hiashi Hyuga knew that he didn't have much time left.

My skill in Baguazhang is not as good as Richa's, but Richa also knows the Secret Technique of Returning to Heaven.
'Now, that's all we can rely on!'

Hiashi Hyuga's pupils narrowed, and he charged at Hizashi once more.

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!"

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!"

The two brothers began exchanging blows again, their figures enveloped by countless finger and palm shadows.

Just as the two were exchanging blows smoothly, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly revealed his trump card!
[Gossip: Empty palm!]

With a flick of his wrist, Hiashi Hyuga transformed the finger technique aimed at Hizashi's shoulder into a secret technique aimed at his heart: Bagua Empty Palm!

A large amount of chakra surged from his arm, transforming into an invisible vacuum shockwave.

Bagua Empty Palm is originally a secret technique for long-range attacks, and it is not very practical in close combat.

But Hiashi Hyuga couldn't care less about that anymore.

Because his enemy was also from the Hyuga clan, and was his twin brother, who shared the same parents.

Even if you don't know the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm Daily Change, you must have some understanding of it.

If he deliberately creates distance, it will only arouse the vigilance of the Hizashi. It would be better to sacrifice some power in exchange for stealth during the attack.

The moment Hiashi Hyuga changed his attack, Hizashi sensed something was wrong, but by then it was too late for him to dodge.

Bang! ! !
The vacuum shockwave of the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm struck Hyuga Hizashi's heart hard.

Hyuga Hizashi's body was instantly blasted away!
"Success!"

Hiashi Hyuga was overjoyed. He unleashed his chakra beneath his feet and used Body Flicker to catch up, intending to take the opportunity to capture his younger brother, Hizashi.

The clan is in chaos. How many members of the branch families participated in the rebellion? Where have the rebels reached? What is the situation of the main families of the other branches?
Hiashi Hyuga knew absolutely nothing about this!
Only by capturing Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of the suspected traitor leader, can the main family gain some initiative in the upcoming situation.

Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Hiashi Hyuga caught up with Hizashi's flying figure.

However, just as Hyuga Hiashi was about to strike his younger brother Hizashi's pressure points, the latter suddenly stopped and struck him in the chest and abdomen with both palms.

boom!boom!
puff!
Hiashi Hyuga immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The faster you can teleport over, the faster you can fly back.

Bang!
Even after his back slammed to the ground, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't understand why Hizashi was able to retaliate after taking a blow that missed its mark.

"Lost"

Hiashi Hyuga lay flat on the ground, staring blankly at the night sky above him.

A shadow blocked Hiashi Hyuga's view.

Hiashi Hyuga's gaze moved from the night sky to Hizashi's face, and finally settled on his chest.

The clothes there were already torn, and the exposed skin had fine scratches.

"How...did you do that?"

Following his brother Hiashi's gaze, Hyuga Hizashi looked down at his chest: "This? It's the Guardian Armor!"

Using the Byakugan, chakra is controlled to overflow from the body's pressure points, weaving a layer of defensive armor on the body's surface!
"Unfortunately, I'm not yet proficient in this secret technique, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten injured!"

Just by listening to Hizashi's account, Hyuga Hiashi could sense just how difficult this secret technique was.

"Guardian Armor? Is that an advanced secret technique you developed based on the Secret Technique of Reversal of Fortune?"

For the first time, Hiashi Hyuga was shocked by his younger brother Hizashi's talent: "Perhaps... you are the one who should be the main family!"

"Me?" Hyuga Hizashi chuckled. "I don't have the talent to create such a powerful Byakugan technique!"

"All of this is a gift from that lord!" Hyuga Hizashi's expression turned solemn when he mentioned that lord.

Over the course of several months, Hyuga Hizashi had already become a faithful follower of Sherlock Holmes under the influence of the Holy Fruit baptism.

"That sir?" Hiashi Hyuga suddenly sensed something was amiss.

It seems that an outside force has intervened behind this rebellion that broke out during the family division.

Just as Hyuga Hiashi was about to press for answers, the missing branch family ninjas reappeared with his wife Hyuga Keiko and daughter Hyuga Hinata.

"Keiko, Hinata"

"Master Nizuzu!"

"father!"

Seeing her husband lying on the ground with his clothes covered in blood, Hyuga Keiko was so anxious that tears were about to stream down her face.

Hinata, nestled in his arms, burst into tears.

"Hizashi." Hiashi Hyuga struggled to sit up and pleaded, "Whatever you're going to do, please don't hurt Keiko and Hinata."

Hyuga Hizashi took Hinata from his sister-in-law's arms and held her, comforting her.

Perhaps because she looked just like her father, Hinata quickly stopped crying after being comforted by Hizashi.

She glanced at Riji holding her for a moment, then at Rizu on the ground, seemingly wondering how she could have two fathers.

“Brother, you are overthinking it! The Hyuga clan in this new era can accommodate every clansman who is bathed in the sacred tree.”

Hyuga Hizashi handed Hinata back to Hyuga Keiko, who was staring at him expectantly.

Then he turned and walked outside: "Take the clan chief to the clan's council hall!"

"Yes, Lord Hizashi!"

Several branch family ninjas helped Hyuga Hiashi up and supported him as they followed Hyuga Hizashi.

Lady Hyuga Keiko, the clan chief's wife, obediently followed behind, carrying little Hinata.

Speaking of which, although Keiko was the clan chief's wife, she also had the Caged Bird Curse mark engraved on her forehead.

After all, before becoming the clan chief's wife, she was just a member of a branch family.

"Baka! You traitors, how dare you lay a hand on the main family!"

"go to hell!"

Several months ago, on the day Hyuga Hizashi inscribed the Caged Bird Seal on Tsubasa's younger brother, was that the head of the main family.

Surrounded by a group of branch family ninjas, he unwillingly formed hand seals, wanting to unleash a cursed seal to punish these traitors of the branch family.

He shouted loudly and aggressively, seemingly trying to dispel the panic and unease in his heart.

"Stop struggling!" Hinata Kazutoshi stepped forward, pointing to the Wings of Freedom on his forehead, and said, "The shackles of the old era cannot bind the wings of the new era!"

"The days when the main family could ride roughshod over the branch family are over!"

Looking at the unfamiliar marks on the foreheads of these branch family members, and the unresponsive Caged Bird Curse Mark, the elders of the main family knew that Hyuga Kazutoshi was right.

The era of the main family is coming to an end!

But he just couldn't accept this fact.

Having been the head of the family his entire life, how could he be willing to lose his former privileges and sit on equal footing with the peasants from the branch families, or even be trampled under their feet?

"Why! Why do you resist! Why can't you just accept your fate! You bastards!"

"go to hell!"

"Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!"

The clan elders roared hysterically, unleashing the clan's secret techniques to kill the traitors before them.

"careful!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Seeing that the main family elders were about to fight to the death, several branch family ninjas had just spoken up to warn them.

Suddenly, a cloud of blood mist burst from the elder's arm, and the arm fell to the ground.

"what"

"what"

"My hand! Pick up my hand quickly!"

The elder of the Zong family screamed and collapsed to the ground. He had not mastered the Bagua Empty Palm at all, and forcibly using it had crippled him.

"How to do?"

"Knock him out and take him away. Don't let this old guy yell anymore. He's almost completely disgraced the Hyuga clan!"

"Is this the kind of insects the branch family is protecting? The Hyuga family deserves to be destroyed!"

The disgraceful behavior of the main family elders aroused resentment and led to discussions among several branch family ninjas.

boom!
Hinata Kazutoshi stepped forward and knocked out the elder of the main family, then casually tied a few knots around his severed arm as if to stop the bleeding.

"Let's go, don't waste any more time!"

Hyuga Kazutoshi casually picked up a senior member of the main clan and headed towards the clan's council hall.

The remaining branch family ninjas either carried the bodies of their fallen comrades or helped their wounded companions to follow.

The same scene was also unfolding in the residences of several other branch families.

Outside the clan's territory.

"Quick! Quick!"

"Go quickly and protect Lord Masayuki!"

Squads of branch family ninjas with ninja headbands tied around their heads appeared from all directions, rapidly advancing towards the main family.

The main family's living area is located at the very center of the entire Hyuga clan residence, while the branch families' living areas are on the outer perimeter.

After the clan uprising led by Hyuga Hizashi and others began, the sounds of fighting and explosions emanating from the main family quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding branch families, and officials came to guard the main family.
Upon entering the clan's territory, they knew something serious had happened.

The main family's guards and servants all lay on the ground, some unconscious, some injured, and some dead, while the adults of the main family had all disappeared.

Soon, they learned the truth from the injured tribespeople.

"What? Lord Hizashi has launched a rebellion?"

"They broke the Birds of a Cage curse!"

"The main family members have all been taken away by them?"

The branch family ninjas who came to the rescue were immediately thrown into chaos.

In particular, some people's eyes lit up when they heard that Hyuga Hizashi and the others had broken the Caged Bird Seal.

"Lord Ryota, what should we do?"

Ryota Hyuga, the most senior member of the group, looked around at the bewildered, panicked, excited, and angry gazes of his clansmen.

There's a dizzying feeling of standing at a crossroads of time.

It seemed as if their next decision could change the course of the times.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

The main family members have all fallen into the hands of Hyuga Hizashi and his group. These people in shackles are not qualified to control the game.

The one who has the authority to decide the future of the Hyuga clan is Lord Hizashi, who instigated the clan uprising.

"Go to the clan council hall and see what Lord Hizashi and the others are up to!"

Ryota Hinata led the way toward the council chamber, followed closely by the others.

Soon, they arrived at the clan's council hall.

What came into view was a group of energetic members of the branch family and a dozen or so disheveled members of the main family.

Hinata, things have changed!
