Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 7 The Bird That Wants to Fly Out of the Cage

Hinata Miyuki covered her eyes with her hand, feeling the stinging pain coming from them.

She suppressed her emotions, cleaned up the traces she had left at the scene, led the clues to the mountain tribe, ignored the corpse, and left.

The Hyuga's Caged Bird Technique can damage a ninja's nervous system, making it difficult even for the Yamanaka clan to extract information from the corpses of Hyuga branch family members.

In addition, many members of the security force are temporary staff, resulting in loopholes in the patrol area.

Therefore, thanks to the Byakugan, Hyuga Miyuki attacked ten people without being discovered.

That's right, ten people!

She has now absorbed the Byakugan power of ten people!

Initially, absorbing the power of the eye simply increased her chakra, which in turn improved her physical strength, accelerating her progress in power.

But this tenth pair of white eyes seemed to represent a qualitative change.

This was a feeling of exhilaration I had never experienced before!

"Byakugan, activate!"

Once back home, Hyuga Miyuki waited until the pain subsided and then activated her Byakugan.

hum!

Air vibration.

The surrounding desks and chairs trembled slightly, as if they were under heavy pressure, and even cracks appeared on the fragile wooden chairs.

"The Byakugan's field of vision has increased to a diameter of three kilometers, and its chakra has tripled!"

Miyuki Hyuga was enveloped in thick blue chakra, and a feeling of joy filled her heart.

If before she could only contend with Jonin, now she can even try to fight the elite Jonin!

It took Hinata Miyuki a long time to come to her senses. She walked to the table, picked up a mirror, and examined her eyes.

Her originally pure white eyes now had a hint of sky blue.

When you activate the white eye, the protruding blood vessels around your eyes become less noticeable.

"It seems I'll need to use the Transformation Technique to conceal my Byakugan activation from now on; the sky-blue Byakugan is too conspicuous."

Hinata Miyuki suppressed her joy.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened.

"Who is it?!"

A gentle breeze came in through the window, and there was no one around in Bai Yan's field of vision.

"Is it an illusion?"

Hyuga Miyuki shook her head, not believing that her senses were wrong.

She definitely felt she was being watched.

……

Was the first change when there were ten pairs?

Hinata Yu silently took notes.

"The chakra has increased by nearly three times, and the concentration has doubled. The Byakugan's vision has improved to an unknown extent, somewhat like the Sharingan evolving into the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"However, unlike the powerful eye techniques brought by the Kaleidoscope, the Byakugan evolution improves the basics."

"Hyuga Miyuki's chakra is incredibly concentrated right now. If she uses Gentle Fist, its power will be multiplied, reaching the level of an elite Jonin..."

Having recorded this far, Hinata Yu noticed Hinata Miyuki's wariness, stopped using her Byakugan to observe, and continued writing.

"Naturally, the Byakugan's enhancement won't be as explosive as the Sharingan's, directly elevating her to a level comparable to a Kage."

"However, the Byakugan has its advantages. It is a dojutsu that does not consume a lot of ocular power and only improves the basics of a ninja. It probably won't lose its light like the Kaleidoscope."

"Stability... that's definitely the most basic characteristic of the Byakugan."

Was it designed this way because the Byakugan is the foundation of the Otsutsuki clan?

With some guesses in mind, Hinata Yu put away his research records and stored them in his specially made scroll.

If he observes for a while longer and there are no problems with Miyuki Hyuga's Byakugan, he will need to take action.

The Byakugan evolution enhanced Hyuga Miyuki's Yin Release chakra, and even her soul strength increased, making her intuition more acute.

Simply observing with a blank stare isn't enough; you have to get to know them personally.

That won't do if you don't have the strength to completely overwhelm her.

Hinata Yu chuckled softly.

……

"This can't go on, Hiruzen!"

Danzo said coldly, "Eleven members of the Hyuga clan have died recently, and the murderer has been spreading various misinformation. If I hadn't controlled public opinion, Konoha would be rife with rumors by now!"

"Let's take control of the Hyuga branch family; the culprit is very likely among them!"

"No, the new Caged Bird is finished, and we'll be re-drawing the branch family members soon," Hiruzen Sarutobi insisted. "I'll be in charge of reviewing it!"

"Hiruzen, you!" Danzo glared angrily at Hiruzen Sarutobi, not understanding what he was insisting on. "The village is short-handed right now, and members of Root and Anbu are also gathering intelligence on the battlefield."

"We don't have the manpower to waste on the Hyuga clan's internal strife!"

"You're the one who doesn't understand, Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked exhausted. "How many members of the Hyuga branch family do you think harbor hatred towards the main family?"

Danzo's brow twitched. "You mean...?"

"Just before you came to me, more people were killed, three in total... including one... a ninja from the main clan!"

……

"This is truly...an unexpected bonus."

Hinata Yu gazed at the panicked boy before him, recalling the scene from before.

Inside the room, the old man lay face down on the floor, his face filled with terror and despair, a pool of blood flowing from his neck.

Hyuga Meikan, an elder of the Hyuga main family, was killed by the young man before him!

"Why did you take action?"

The calm, still voice gradually quieted the boy down.

If it weren't for the help of his clansmen, he would have already been captured by the guards who had reacted.

Thinking of this, he whispered, "My sister is five years old this year. I thought this incident would save her from being caged like a bird..."

"But it didn't work after all."

The boy chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"You understand, right? The village and the clan only treat us like dogs, useful dogs that wag their tails when given a little benefit!"

"I hate them, but I don't have the courage to fight back! But now someone has struck first!"

He bit his lip and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who he is, but he only killed ninjas who were close to the main clan. This has made the main clan members very uneasy, and they have sent their own guards to investigate."

"What is the main family without guards? What good are caged birds?"

"It's the branch family that takes care of their daily needs! It's the branch family that prepares their food! Is poisoning or assassination so difficult?"

"They're inexperienced, incompetent, and have completely forgotten everything about ninjas from their privileged lives! If it weren't for those traitors from the branch families, would it have been so difficult for us to kill a bunch of useless members of the main family?"

The boy's bloodshot eyes stared at Hinata Yu.

"A bunch of arrogant good-for-nothings, what right do they have to be our masters!"

"If the village can't change the Hyuga clan, then just wipe out the main family!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Hinata Yu's calm face.

"Killing them all is pointless; you're still a caged bird."

The boy's excited expression turned stiff.

"But it doesn't matter, I know where you can fly out of the birdcage."

"While improving the Bird in the Cage technique, research into deciphering the Bird in the Cage was also put on the agenda."

"Your strength is not enough, and your companions are not enough either."

Gazing into the boy's dilated pupils, Hinata Yu whispered, "Can you become a bird that flies out of its cage?"
