Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 246 Of the two of you, only one will live.

"what!!"

Hinata Ryoto's heart-wrenching screams echoed continuously in the confined space.

His body convulsed in pain, and blood gushed from his severed wrist, staining his clan robes crimson.

"Hyuga Iroha! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Hinata's overbearing roar broke through his own screams, his voice distorted and sharp with pain, yet unconsciously carrying a deep-rooted arrogance and fury.

"Prison break? Attack on the main family? Rebellion?! You're courting death!"

Meanwhile, Hinata Hito was completely consumed by blind fear and chaos.

His face, covered by gauze, turned around in terror, his hands flailing helplessly in the air as if trying to grasp at a non-existent lifeline.

"Hyuga Iroha? How is this possible?" His voice trembled with fear. "Where are the guards? Where are the guards who came in with me? How could it be him?!"

Snap... Snap...

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Hinata Hito suddenly shivered and retreated backward on all fours until his back slammed against the cold stone wall, leaving him nowhere to go!

"You! Don't come any closer!" he screamed, his hands frantically trying to form hand seals, attempting to activate the Caged Bird Seal, which could control the life and death of all the families.

However, no matter how hard he tried or how much chakra he mobilized, the cursed seal that he once controlled perfectly did not react at all.

He could no longer sense the cursed seal on Hyuga Iroha's forehead!
How can it be? ?
Seeing this, Hyuga Iroha, who had been slightly tense and on guard, completely relaxed.

“As expected…” he sneered, “Without the Byakugan, you can’t use the Caged Bird Seal.”

"Without your white eyes and hands, you are nothing but two powerless trash, nothing but two filthy maggots!"

His words were like poison, piercing deeply into Hinata Hito's already riddled pride and dignity.

"Father, Father! Where are you? Kill them! Kill him now..." Hinata Yoto cried out incoherently, completely losing his composure.

But unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hyuga Ryoto.

"Shut up!"

Hyuga Ryoto suddenly roared, forcibly suppressing his screams and anger, interrupting his son's foolish rant!
Hikaru was so startled by the stern shout that he choked and turned his gauze-covered face blankly toward his father.

Hinata Ryoto endured the excruciating pain, veins bulging on his forehead, and cold sweat streaming down his pale face.

The next moment, he suddenly lowered his head, bit his robe tightly with his teeth, and tore it apart fiercely!
Stab it!

In this extremely humiliating, dog-like manner, he barely managed to use his mouth to wrap a strip of cloth around his bleeding, severed wrist, performing the most rudimentary bandage.

Although it couldn't completely stop the bleeding, it at least slowed down the rate of blood flow, buying him a precious amount of time to continue living.

His face was deathly pale from blood loss, and his lips were completely bloodless, but his eyes managed to regain a semblance of calm despite the pain and the threat of death.

He even felt a pang of regret, regretting the threat he had blurted out in his anger and shock.

Saying those things now is pointless; it will only provoke this madman in front of me.

Now, we absolutely cannot provoke Hyuga Iroha any further!
Live!
No matter the cost, no matter the humiliation, as long as I can leave this place alive, as long as I can get out!

He has countless ways to make these rebellious bastards pay a price a thousand times worse than death, crushing their flesh and bones inch by inch!
"What...what do you want?"

Hinata Ryoto raised his head, his voice hoarse from pain and weakness, but he tried to remain calm, even managing to force a twisted expression that seemed to convey goodwill.

"As expected of Elder Lingren, he calmed down so quickly."

Hyuga Iroha narrowed her eyes, a cold smile appearing on her face.

"Whatever you want, whatever you want to do, I can give it to you!"

Hyuga Ryoto forced a stiff yet ingratiating smile: "If you want Hyuga Takashi, you can take him away now."

"Besides that, I can also tell you a secret."

"The Caged Bird Seal has a distance limit. As long as you leave Konoha and get out of the main family's perception range, you will be safe! You will be free!"

Hinata Ryoto spoke hurriedly, his words coming out quickly, as if afraid the other person would lose patience.

He was indeed much smarter than his foolish son; he accurately pinpointed the biggest pain point and desire behind the division of the family property.

—Freedom, break free from the control of the cursed seal!
However, he didn't tell the whole truth. In fact, the range of the Caged Bird Seal also depends on the caster's chakra.

In Hyuga Ryoto's opinion, this was enough to make Hyuga Iroha's heart flutter.

However, faced with Hinata Ryoto's suggestion... "Leave?"

The smile on Hyuga Iroha's face gradually faded, replaced by a cold sarcasm: "Why did you leave?"

His voice suddenly rose, and he said coldly, "This is the Hyuga clan, which our branch family protects with our lives!"

"Why should we leave like stray dogs?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Ryoujin's heart sank, and a chill surged forth as he plunged into an icy abyss.

His worst fears came true!

This was a premeditated, large-scale rebellion!
Hyuga Iroha was definitely not the only one involved in this incident!

How could these spineless cowards who always submit to their fate dare to do this?!

Before the main family could even make a move against them, they had already preemptively torn off all pretense of civility!
"Fine! Fine! It's yours, the Hyuga clan is yours!"

Hinata Ryoto spoke without hesitation, nodding repeatedly, adopting an extremely humble posture, as if afraid of provoking the other party.

"Although the Caged Bird Seal cannot be removed, I can teach you how to cast it! You can place the Caged Bird Seal on me, on Yang Dou, and on all the main families!"

He offered an extremely tempting condition, enough to drive any branch family member mad, enticing them with the promise: "At that time, you will be the true master of the Hyuga clan."

"Everything of the Hyuga clan—resources, secret techniques, status…it's all yours. I only ask that when the time comes, you allow me and Yang Dou to serve you…"

Upon hearing this, the cowering Hyuga Hito suddenly raised his head, hardly believing his ears.

His usually proud and noble father would actually utter such humble and humiliating words, and even want to serve this guy Hyuga Iroha??

“Father! How could you treat a member of the family who has separated from his family like this…” he blurted out in disbelief.

However, before he could finish speaking, Hyuga Ryoto's expression suddenly changed.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Fueled by anger and fear, he kicked Hinata Hito hard.

The force used was so great that it not only interrupted Hyuga Haruto's words, but also caused Hyuga Haruto to cough up blood with a muffled groan.

But Hyuga Ryoto didn't care about any of that; the anger in his heart was almost consuming him.

Is the focus on service?

The key point is that you can only serve if you are alive!

I'm here trying my best to calm this madman down, and you're still dragging me down. How come I never realized before how stupid my son was?!

After kicking, Hyuga Ryoto looked at Hyuga Iroha again, bowing and forcing a fawning, even obsequious smile: "Lord Iroha, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"If there's anything else you want, just say so! As long as you spare our lives!"

Hyuga Iroha looked down at him, her gaze as if she were looking at a venomous snake flicking its tongue and trying to feign pitifulness.

A moment later, a smile slowly appeared on his expressionless face.

He reached out and, with utter humiliation, gently patted Hyuga Ryoto's pale face, which was plastered with a fawning smile.

Although Hyuga Ryoujin felt incredibly humiliated and his killing intent grew wildly like weeds, his smile became even brighter and more humble.

possible!
That fool, he really fell for it.

"As long as I can survive, I can..."

But the next moment, the smile on Hyuga Ryoto's face suddenly froze.

Because Hyuga Iroha withdrew his hand, took out a kunai that gleamed with a cold, eerie light from his ninja tool bag, and casually tossed it at Hyuga Hito's feet.

Bang!

The crisp sound of metal colliding with stone was particularly jarring in the deathly silent cell, causing Hinata Hito, who was slumped on the ground, to shiver violently.

"What I want is very simple."

Hyuga Iroha's smile turned cold and cruel as his gaze slowly swept between Hyuga Ryo and Hyuga Yoto.

“Only one of you two will survive,” he said.
