Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

"Listening to the sound of rain and letting that cool touch flow through your whole body, your restless heart can find a moment of peace. That's a kind of carefree feeling, Hinata."

Recalling the casual and indifferent smile on Feng Qi's face at that time, Hinata felt a vague unease in her heart for some reason, and her delicate brows furrowed.

"What's wrong, Hinata? You've seemed a bit distracted since earlier."

Kurenai, who was also holding an umbrella, noticed her unusual behavior and asked her with a hint of concern.

Hinata clenched her fists hanging by her sides and shook her head in confusion: "I don't know, but I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."

"Teacher Hong, may I go back to my clan's territory first?"

Normally, when ninjas return from such missions, they need to report their progress to the Hokage Building before they can receive their payment.

However, the level and level of secrecy of this mission for their eighth class were not high, so there were no strict requirements.

"The Hyuga clan's territory? It's on our way, let's go together."

Kurenai Yuhi agreed to Hinata's request, holding up a finger in front of her. "However, we can only take you to the door."

After all, the Hyuga clan is one of the major powers in the village, and having just completed her mission, she needs to avoid direct contact with Kiba and Shino.

"Yes! Thank you, Ms. Kurenai!" Hinata nodded emphatically.

"Oh, it's alright. Feng Qi said that we successfully completed this mission."

The oblivious Kiba Inuzuka scratched his head indifferently.

Speaking of Feng Qi, he looked extremely displeased again, "I never expected that old man who just wanders around the village all day would be so accurate in his predictions!"

Recalling the scene of his best friend Shino being surrounded by a bunch of big-haired women during the mission, he almost ground his back teeth to powder.

He's the type who's not afraid of his brothers suffering, but afraid of his brothers driving Land Rovers!

And so, having reached an agreement, Team 8 traversed the misty rain and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

"Wait, what's that strange mist?"

As they approached the Hyuga clan's territory, Kurenai Yuhi, a Jonin, was on edge and was the first to notice something was wrong.

Not only in the Hyuga clan's territory, but even in the nearby streets, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

It can sense the presence of many powerful chakra in the surroundings.

Since they were only tasked by the Hokage to monitor the Hyuga clan's movements, the Anbu and the security forces operating in the shadows did not deliberately conceal themselves.

The mist around the tribe's territory was quite thin.

Using the Byakugan's ability to see into the distance, Hinata was able to see what Kurenai and the others couldn't.

thump.

The oil-paper umbrella in his hand immediately slipped and fell onto the muddy ground.

That was a...

The nightmare scene made her mind go blank and almost made her faint!

"Father, Brother Fengqi, no, no!!"

Ignoring Kurenai's attempts to stop her, Hinata ran frantically toward the clan's territory, stumbling and falling several times along the way.

The filthy mud soaked her ninja clothes, making the lovely white skin on her cowardly face look extremely ugly.

Even though her arms and legs were scratched by rubble, Hinata was completely oblivious and kept charging forward.

Finally, she reached her clansmen and stood before her pale-faced younger sister, Hyuga Hanabi, trembling as she stared at the scene before her:

He treated her to ramen, guided her to become stronger, and was always the gentle and easygoing Feng Qi, all with one hand...

It pierced through Father's chest!

"Chieftain/Father!!"

The Hyuga ninjas, along with Hyuga Hanabi who had finally come to her senses, were equally stunned by the sudden scene, letting out heart-wrenching screams.

"Hehe, got it, the Byakugan of pure bloodline."

Ignoring the hateful and furious gazes around him, Feng Qi greedily absorbed the Byakugan energy of Hyuga Hiashi with the help of Feng Hou Qi Men.

"Damn it, Hyuga Kazeki, what are you doing?!"

A ninja of considerable standing in the main clan roared, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, decisively activating the Caged Bird Seal on Feng Qi's forehead.

The familiar tearing pain struck again, which greatly agitated Feng Qi, who was already mentally unstable.

"Zhenzi, thunder!"

Boom!

A thunderbolt struck from the sky, its dazzling light illuminating the surrounding dim environment.

The earth trembled slightly. When the other Hyuga ninjas looked on in horror, the main clan ninja who had tried to activate the Caged Bird Seal was nowhere to be found. All that remained was a charred pit that was gradually filled with mud and water!

"Stop him! If this continues, the clan leader will truly be beyond saving!"

"Watch out for that eerie lightning strike."

After the initial shock, almost simultaneously, all the main clan ninjas moved.

The main family ninjas who knew the Caged Bird Seal quickly formed hand seals, while those who had not yet mastered this "slave-manipulation" technique stepped forward and charged towards Fuki, who was constantly absorbing the energy of Hiashi's Byakugan.

As elite ninjas trained by the Hyuga clan, their reactions are quite swift.

Unfortunately, they didn't get the crucial information from Hiashi Hyuga.

The results speak for themselves.

The ninjas who attempted to activate the Caged Bird Seal were burned to ashes by the sudden burst of flames, while those who rushed forward were battered and bruised by the wind.

In almost a single encounter, the vast majority of the Hyuga main clan ninja lost their fighting ability!

What terrifying power!

Kurenai Yuhi, who had entered the area out of concern for Hinata, stared wide-eyed, her face filled with horror.

As for Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame, who had never seen such a bloody and gruesome scene before, they were already terrified and their bodies were stiff and unable to move.

"Hahahaha! They all must die! I will obtain the power to cover the entire universe!!"

Even with his naturally white eyes, Feng Qi's scarlet and crazed pupils were still visible.

As those eyes, comparable to those of demons from hell, swept over them, the Hyuga main family members who were unable to fight felt a chill run through their bodies and collapsed to the ground.

He didn't even have the strength to turn around and run away.

Feng Qi pulled his arm out of Hyuga Hiashi's body, and a few drops of blood splattered—the graduation bracelet that Hinata had given him was now completely stained blood red.

With his long hair flowing freely, he walked step by step toward the old, young, women and children of the main family.

After absorbing Hiashi Hyuga's eye power, his Byakugan seemed to have received some kind of upgrade.

Although it was far from reaching the heaven-defying level of the Tenseigan, the crimson around the pupils was gradually dissipating, and clarity was restored.

It's like a drowning person finally grabbing a straw to survive.

In a split second, Feng Qi's body trembled, and he staggered to his knees.

The blood-stained soil in front of me appeared as layers of blurry, illusory images, which then gradually overlapped and returned to normal.

After consuming his Qi chakra and enhancing his Byakugan power, he finally broke free from the illusion of the Feng Hou Qi Men inner vision and regained his true self!

Chapter 20 Goodbye, Sister

The flowing light patterns of the Feng Hou Qi Men formation converged at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually disappearing beneath Hyuga Fuki's feet.

As a result, the thick mist that had been permeating the surrounding area began to thin, revealing the Hyuga clan's territory, which had been reduced to ruins by the torrential rain.

Feng Qi's chest heaved, his eyes lowered as he looked at his slightly clenched, bloodstained fist.

His pure, clear white eyes gleamed with a faint light, calm and indifferent, revealing little emotional fluctuation.

He now possesses the power to see through deeper layers of inner illusions, and his previously stagnant potential has been raised due to the enhancement of his Byakugan's power.

Rather than saying he regained self-awareness, to be precise, his previous eerie state of madness was merely a manifestation of the expansion of many desires deep within him.

In other words, even if he hadn't been misled by the inner vision, he would still have killed those arrogant and wanton members of the main family.

From the moment Hiashi Hyuga demanded that he hand over his Byakugan, it was destined that it would be a fight to the death between them.

To gain absolute power to solidify one's rule, one must bear the corresponding risks and costs; this is a basic common sense in the ninja world, which is filled with greed and self-interest.

Unfortunately, Hiashi Hyuga and those elders of the main family had too much faith in the slave contract they had set up—the Caged Bird Seal!

"It seems Lady Luck is still on my side, Hyuga main family..."

Feng Qi collected his chaotic thoughts and looked with a complicated expression at the fearful and uneasy members of the clan opposite him, and...

Hinata and Hanabi, two sisters.

At this moment, two lines of tears streamed down Hinata's face, which was covered in mud.

Confusion, anger, fear, shock, despair, and other emotions intertwined and were ultimately buried by extreme grief.

The brother who was most grateful killed the strictest biological father, which is hard for anyone to accept at first.

Moreover, Hinata herself was timid and cowardly, and witnessing such a cruel scene pushed her to the brink of mental collapse.

In contrast, her younger sister, Hinata Hanabi, displayed an unusual calmness, standing there blankly with her flawless Byakugan eyes fixed on Fuuki.

No one knows what this little girl is thinking at this moment.

"Feng, Feng Qige, why, why..."

Hinata's pupils lost their luster, and she paced back and forth, looking utterly dejected.

She wanted to know what had happened, and whether this blood-soaked place was just a nightmare.

"Hinata! Calm down, that guy is too dangerous right now!"

Kurenai quickly pulled Hinata back, shielding her tightly behind her, while her sharp and serious gaze fixed on the figure slowly rising opposite them.

"Are you still the Hyuga Kazeki we know?"

She asked in a deep voice, quickly mobilizing her chakra to prepare for any unexpected situations that might arise.
