Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 1 Why don't you carve a caged bird to protect itself?

"Damn it! Damn it! Why is Kirigakure lying in ambush here?"

Hyuga Hisanosuke fled frantically through the forest, his Byakugan activated, and a look of despair on his face as he watched the approaching Kirigakure ninja.

As a member of the Hyuga main family, he was dissatisfied with the protection he received from the elders and, with his guards, went to the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure.

As he had expected, he, already a special Jonin, showed off his skills here. The Hidden Mist Technique, which the Hidden Mist Village was good at, was completely ineffective against the Byakugan, which drew praise from many of his companions and satisfied his vanity.

But today, he received a mission to meet up with his comrades.

The nightmare began.

When he arrived at the rendezvous point, instead of his companions, he was greeted by eleven Hidden Mist Ninja, including three Jonin!

These enemies were hidden far beyond his Byakugan's field of vision. By the time he detected them with his Byakugan, the encirclement had already been formed.

If it weren't for the two branch family guards who risked their lives to stop the three Jonin, he wouldn't even have had a chance to escape.

However, he was only rated as a special Jonin because of the special nature of his Byakugan. As a member of the Hyuga main family with virtually no combat experience, how could he possibly defeat the group of elite Kirigakure Chunin who had been mingling on the battlefield?

As he watched helplessly as the distance gradually decreased, Hisanobu Hinata's expression shifted.

These ninjas never killed him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape so far, and he was perfectly clear about their purpose.

"Eye roll..."

Hyuga Hishin took out a kunai and aimed it at his eyes several times, but failed to stab them.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. The distress signal has already been sent out. Maybe some Konoha ninja from nearby villages can get here!

When the Hidden Mist ninja was still fifty meters away from him, the desperate Hyuga Hisanoshin finally saw hope. A somewhat familiar chakra appeared in his Byakugan vision.

"feather!"

The chakra broke through hundreds of meters at an extremely fast speed and appeared before everyone's eyes, causing Hyuga Hishin, who had been blocked by Kirigakure once again, to show ecstatic joy.

"Stop them! I'm a member of the Hyuga main family; you must protect me with your life!"

At this moment, Hinata Hisanobu had never been so grateful for his status as a member of the main branch of the family.

The newcomer was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, who had the same white eyes as him, but their identities were different!

He is from the main family, while Hyuga Yu is a member of the Hyuga branch family.

Therefore, even though he knew that the other party was just a special Jonin like him, he could only protect him with his life at this moment!

Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, Hyuga Hishin overlooked one thing—why was this special Jonin with the Byakugan alone on the battlefield, without any teammates?

Hyuga Hatake landed outside the ninja's attack range. Upon hearing the order, a strange smile appeared on his lips. After using his Byakugan to confirm that no one was coming within two kilometers, he murmured to himself:

"Eight Gates Formation, Fifth Gate (Du Gate), Open! Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Empty Palms!"

Instantly, a powerful surge of chakra erupted from Hyuga Yu's palm, transforming into sixty-four shockwaves that struck several Hidden Mist ninjas!

The previously wary Hidden Mist ninjas were horrified and had no time to dodge. They all coughed up blood, flew backward, and fell to the ground without a sound.

"Why?"

Hinata Hisanobu, who had intended to escape, stared blankly at this scene.

That's Bagua Empty Palm... no, it's Bagua Sixty-Four Palms, which incorporates Bagua Empty Palm.

How is that possible?

The branch family members are not qualified to learn the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, let alone possess such power, and there's also the green steam on Hyuga Yu's body...

"ah!!!"

Hinata Hisanobu's thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pain. He belatedly realized that his arms had also disappeared in the attack.

"To prevent you from triggering the caged bird, the first thing I did was to cripple your arms."

Under Hinata Hisanoshin's incredulous gaze, Hinata Yu stared at him with the same expression he would give a lab rat, and laughed:

"How lucky! Those two branch family guards were so desperate. I thought it would take more effort."

"I've been looking forward to this day ever since you came to this battlefield."

"The first test subject of the main family, Hisanobu Hyuga."

……

A few minutes later, three Hidden Mist ninjas arrived at the battlefield, frowned, exchanged a glance, reluctantly collected the corpses, and quickly left.

Ten minutes later, a group of Konoha ninja finally arrived, and Hyuga Yu was among them!

"The main body was successfully completed."

With just a glance at the remaining traces at the scene, Hyuga Yu knew exactly what was going on, and said in a deep voice:

"Captain, there are traces of Bagua Palm technique."

Jonin Uchiha Koutarou frowned, made a gesture, and instructed the others to keep watch around and look for clues before signaling him to continue.

"Judging from the extent to which the ground was cracked by the impact, the Hyuga ninja who used the Eight Trigrams Palm technique is far stronger than me; he is probably a Jonin from the clan."

Hinata Yu's shadow clone looked at the ground and trees that had been affected by the empty palm strike and calmly analyzed the situation.

"As far as I know, there are only two Hyuga ninjas on the Hidden Mist battlefield."

Jonin are elites in any ninja clan, not commonplace. If Hyuga Hishin hadn't insisted on coming, these two branch family Jonin wouldn't even be here.

after all……

Hinata Yu looked at his captain.

Currently, many ninja from the Uchiha clan, the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, have been sent to the Hidden Mist battlefield by the higher-ups!

Although Hyuga Yu thought it was really crazy to let the Uchiha, who were skilled in fire release, fight against the Kirigakure, who were skilled in water release, this wasn't the first or second time that the Konoha higher-ups had made such a bizarre decision.

The elders of the Hyuga clan didn't want to show off or use their bloodline advantage to compete with the Uchiha, which would only offend the Uchiha for no reason. So the Hyuga ninjas who came were only adequate, and their strength was not great.

Uchiha Kotaro's expression darkened.

The two branch family Jonin have been protecting that Hyuga main family member. If the Byakugan falls into Kirigakure because of this, it will be troublesome!

"Captain, here is the severed arm of one of our village's ninjas."

At that moment, a Chunin who was alert to his surroundings noticed two severed arms on the ground, one of which was still tightly gripping a kunai in its hand.

Hyuga Yu and Uchiha Koutarou instantly rushed over to observe. "Judging from the wounds, they were broken simultaneously by brute force. The injured person didn't have time to react. To possess such strength, yet only both arms were broken..."

A trace of sorrow appeared on Hinata Yu's face, and his companions around him fell silent.

The worst-case scenario.

Ninja battles are always about killing with a single blow. The only reason for intentionally crippling someone's ability to resist is probably because of that Hyuga main family member.

This member of the main family did not commit suicide; he was captured by the enemy!

It's really laughable. The Hyuga branch family is controlled by the Hyuga main family because of the Caged Bird Technique, but because of this, their Byakugan cannot be taken away, and no one will target them.

And the Hyuga main family... a useless piece of trash with insufficient strength, insists on coming to the battlefield to be a target!

Glancing at Hyuga Yu, Uchiha Koutarou looked at the severed arm and cursed under his breath.

Since you're coming to the battlefield, why don't you do what the family did and carve a caged bird to protect yourself?
