Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 2 Don't you hate it?

"Stay vigilant and investigate further."

Quickly calming himself down, Uchiha Koutarou glanced at Hyuga Yu, preventing him from using his Byakugan to examine him.

The three Hyuga ninjas are all in grave danger, unable even to escape. The enemy they face clearly has a way to deal with the Byakugan.

It might be a sensory ninjutsu with a detection range greater than the Byakugan, or it might be a powerful user similar to the Yellow Flash, skilled in speed and teleportation.

At this point, placing too much trust in someone's disapproval might actually cause you to lose the initiative.

The group maintained a safe distance, carefully exploring the forest. At one point, Hinata Yu's shadow clone briefly disappeared from their sight, while Hinata Yu's real body silently rejoined the group.

He was the ninja in charge of sensing in this squad, so it would be too easy for him to fool everyone.

Hinata Hisanobu has been knocked unconscious and sealed in a scroll that stores living beings. Once this mission is over, the research can begin.

Ultimately, after discovering another battle site several kilometers away, they found nothing more and had no choice but to return to the commander's camp to report.

Upon hearing Uchiha Koutarou's report, the black-haired man looked at Hyuga Yu.

A pair of Byakugan falling into enemy hands doesn't actually affect the overall situation, but if a member of the Hyuga main family falls into enemy hands, it poses a great danger!

Hinata Yu, Uchiha Koutarou, and the black-haired man were all well aware of this.

"I will report this to the Hokage. You all immediately notify all Hyuga clan ninja to proceed with caution on the battlefield. Once it is confirmed that the enemy has mastered the Caged Bird Seal, all Hyuga ninja must immediately withdraw from the Hidden Mist battlefield!"

"yes!"

As the two disappeared in an instant, the black-haired man suddenly smiled.

With such a huge blunder, the old man will probably scold him to death.

However, you got what you wanted, Yu Jun.

……

Tick, tick.

The sound of dripping water echoed in the dark space. Hinata Hisanobu was awakened by the faint sound. He tried to open his eyes, but found that his body had lost all feeling and he could not open his eyes.

However, the faint sounds coming from all around and the smell of disinfectant told him that the person must be here.

"Hyuga Yu, you traitor, how dare you attack the main family!"

The hoarse voice came from his mouth, very softly, but it was still heard by Hyuga Yu, who was focused on synthesizing the potion, and he smiled slightly.

"Don't say that. I've been holding back for a long time. A member of the main family has personally appeared on the battlefield, and he's only brought two Jonin guards. What a great opportunity. It would be a shame to give it up."

"My whereabouts... were revealed to... Kirigakure by you?" The broken voice came from Hinata Hishin.

"That's right, but I didn't expect them to send three Jonin. Luckily, the two branch family Jonin stopped them, otherwise they might have left some traces."

After preparing the medicine, Hinata Yu walked to the experimental table where Hinata Hisanoshin was lying and said in a low voice.

After transmigrating, he cultivated using the shadow clones left by his deceased parents, making rapid progress.

With his foresight and the ability to gain Might Dai's trust, he received the Eight Gates technique and successfully raised his strength to the level of an elite Jonin at the age of fourteen.

Dealing with multiple Chunin is manageable; it can be resolved quickly. However, if the enemy includes Jonin, it becomes a bit troublesome.

"Do you...hate...the main family? Hate...the caged bird!"

Hinata Hisanobu murmured, "So, that's why I used this... method... to take revenge."

Hinata Yu's face showed a hint of surprise, and he chuckled, "Revenge? If it were before today, I might have had some thoughts on that, but now..."

Why should I care?

The indifferent tone made Hinata Hisako's confidence sink.

He wasn't afraid of Hinata Yu's revenge. With the Caged Bird in the air, as long as Hinata Yu showed the slightest weakness because of hatred, death would be his only fate.

This time, it was because they were on the battlefield that Hyuga Yu was able to succeed so easily. With this lesson learned, the main clan ninjas will only become more cautious.

But Hinata Yu's nonchalant tone showed that he really didn't care.

How could a branch family ninja whose life and death are controlled by the main family be so indifferent?

"Aren't you... afraid of... being a caged bird?"

"I haven't yet mastered a way to completely free a caged bird, but there are quite a few ways to limit it or disable it."

Hyuga Yu placed the two bottles of reagents next to Hyuga Hishin's head and laughed, "Besides, didn't you already bring the method to completely solve the Caged Bird Seal problem?"

"What...does that mean?"

Hinata Hisashi felt uneasy.

"Just today, a ninja from the Hyuga main family fell into the hands of Kirigakure, and he has mastered the technique to activate the Caged Bird Technique."

"If this member of the main family couldn't withstand the torture in Kirigakure and betrayed the village, revealing the method for activating the Caged Bird Seal to the enemy, what do you think the outcome would be?"

The clan association is now defunct in name only!

Hinata Hisanosuke wasn't stupid; he immediately understood Hinata Yu's thoughts and felt a chill run down his spine.

If Kirigakure were to master the technique for using the Caged Bird Seal, what would the Konoha leadership do?

They will force the main family to break the Caged Bird Technique!

Even without the Hokage and the others lifting a finger, the main branch of the family would have to take matters into their own hands to break the Caged Bird Seal or change the way the cursed seal is cast.

Because at that time, Kirigakure had become another main clan, and could easily decide the death of Hyuga branch family ninjas!

The main family needs a branch family member to be within sight to activate the Caged Bird Technique. Once the technique falls into enemy hands, it means that any branch family member will die upon seeing the enemy!

Now, in the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha is under siege from multiple ninja villages. The Hyuga clan is an indispensable part of Konoha's fighting force and cannot be lost.

The main family and higher-ups must find a way to disable the Caged Bird Technique that the enemy has mastered!

"How...could this be...? How...could this be...?"

Hisanosuke Hinata's face drained of color as he kept repeating the same sentence.

Could the very foundation upon which the Hyuga clan rules the branch family—the Caged Bird Technique—be destroyed simply because of his own willfulness?!

What will happen when the family splits up, and what will become of the main branch?

He dared not even imagine what kind of retaliation the main family would face once the caged bird was gone.

That's why Hyuga Yu didn't care... Who would care about a bunch of dead people?

He hadn't considered what would happen if Hyuga Yu didn't get the formula to activate the Caged Bird Seal, because it wasn't necessary in the first place.

Just like the false news of his capture by Kirigakure, as long as Hyuga Yu fabricates the illusion that Hyuga branch family ninjas died in the Caged Bird Technique a few times, the Konoha leadership and the main family will have to consider lifting the modified Caged Bird Technique!

Given the opponent's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to do this.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

Hyuga Hisanosuke said resentfully, "You are destroying the Hyuga clan. Without the Caged Bird Seal, the Hyuga clan will surely perish. You have no idea what kind of enemy the Hyuga clan faces..."

"The Otsutsuki clan on the moon?"

Hinata Hisanobu's expression froze.

"I may not be their match yet, but what makes you think that just because they have the Caged Bird Seal, they won't attack? Like this time, if they only target the main clan and then obtain the formula to activate the Caged Bird Seal, the Hyuga clan will still be wiped out, won't they?"

Ignoring his shock and hatred, Hinata Yu gave him a sedative, and once he calmed down, he put on gloves and removed his eye.

It's ridiculous that a technique that controls the life and death of most members of a family can be used by every member of the main branch of the family, and there are no restrictions on it.

Isn't this blatantly telling everyone that anyone can master the technique of activating the caged bird?

If the technique is exposed, wouldn't anyone be able to control the life and death of the Hyuga branch family?

Even if the main family can guarantee that the technique will not be exposed while they are alive, so what?

The ninja world even has ninjutsu to control the dead, so resurrecting a member of the Hyuga main family using the Impure World Reincarnation technique is not difficult.

Hinata Yu paused, glancing longingly at the exit on the left, where a figure walked in.
