Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Hinata probably shouldn't have asked Hyuga Natsu that question.

Because Hinata is too important to Hyuga Natsu.

Hinata shouldn't have asked Neji that question either.

Because Neji's talent is too outstanding, the existence of the Caged Bird Seal will suppress his talent. If we ignore Hinata's influence, Neji would definitely want to have freedom.

Hinata should be asking about the largest and most numerous groups within the Hyuga clan.

For example, the clansmen who guard the gate, the clansmen who work in the kitchen, and those clansmen who carry out tasks, and so on.

These are the people Hinata should be asking about this kind of target.

But Hinata is no longer a question. If the incident with Obito Uchiha hadn't happened, Hyuga Natsu would also have longed for freedom.

If even the head of the Hyuga family, who arranged for his children to have personal maids, harbored a longing for so-called freedom, then naturally everyone else would be no exception.

Perhaps some of them would think that living a peaceful and uneventful life is not bad, but this must be a very small minority.

Hinata knew that what she was thinking about now was a betrayal of the Hyuga clan's thousand-year-old rules and her own position.

but……

who cares?

Hinata doesn't want Hanabi to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal.

If, due to Hinata's insistence, Hanabi is not marked with the Caged Bird Seal, it will cause dissatisfaction among the other members of the branch family.

Then everyone should just refrain from engraving it.

As for the so-called Tenseigan?

Fuck it!

A piece of trash who can't even protect his own eyes thinks he can rest easy with a cursed seal?

Look at the green of the hidden mist!

So what if there are caged birds?

Others can simply target the main branch!

The main family, having been away from the battlefield for many years, was so weak that they couldn't even blind themselves!

Are others coveting your eyes?

Then kill him!

If you want to gouge out my eyes, then let's see if you live to take them!

This applies not only to others, but also to one's own people!

Want to synthesize the Tenseigan?

Let's see if you have the ability!

but……

Looking at Hinata Natsume embracing him.

A gentle light flashed in Hinata's eyes.

People like Xia should not have to accept such a cruel fate.

Moreover, the Tenseigan... perhaps shouldn't have existed in the first place.

This secret should have been kept to oneself from the very beginning.

"Xia, I'm hungry..."

Feeling the warmth of summer, Hinata spoke softly.

"Yes, my dear Hinata, I'll go prepare some food for you right away..."

Perhaps because her emotions were being released at this moment, a rare blush appeared on Xia's face. She gave Hinata an embarrassed smile and then stepped back.

As Hinata watched Shana's departing figure, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

The caged bird confines the separated family, but in the same way, it protects the separated family.

If there were no caged birds, then people like Xia would be the best prey for the hand.

By killing such a weak and helpless maid, one can gain the ability to see clearly within a radius of several kilometers without any blind spots.

It's incredibly profitable.

Until this problem is resolved, caged birds are definitely the best way to protect separated families.

"Hinata-sama!"

Hinata Natsu, who had just left, rushed back.

"What's wrong?"

Hinata looked at the maid.

"I just saw several clan elders going to the patriarch's study, and from their conversation, it seemed to be about Lord Hanabi..."

Hinata Natsu's face showed a hint of worry.

As Hinata's closest person besides Hiashi Hyuga, she naturally understood the importance of her younger sister in Hinata's heart.

The caged bird carved on the fireworks has reached the age of its demise, so the purpose of these elders is self-evident.

"I see."

"Xia, you go ahead and do your work."

Hinata nodded upon hearing this.

-

"Master, how much longer are you going to wait?"

"Hanabi-sama is already five years old. According to her age, she is old enough to be carved with a caged bird."

"Lady Hinata may have a mischievous personality, but her talent is undeniable."

"You can't exactly expect Lady Hinata to carve a caged bird, can you?"

In Hiashi Hyuga's study, several elders of the Hyuga clan were earnestly persuading him to imprint the Caged Bird Seal on Hanabi Hyuga as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Hiashi Hyuga sat with a book in hand, sipping tea, listening silently to the old men's rambling.

"Are you done talking?"

After a long while, when the elders were hoarse from talking, Hyuga Hiashi finally spoke.

"..."

The elders exchanged bewildered glances, utterly bewildered as to why Hiashi Hyuga had dragged this out for so long.

After all, this Hyuga clan leader, who was in his prime, was known for his prudence and had no reason not to understand the reasons behind it.

"I have my own plans for Hinata and Hanabi, you don't need to worry about it."

"I won't see you off."

Hiashi Hyuga's words carried an air of absolute authority, and he directly ordered Hiashi to leave.

"Sigh... I hope the clan leader can make a decision soon, otherwise it will be difficult for the family members to accept the division."

The leading elder bowed to Hyuga Hiashi and then turned and left.

The others followed suit and left.

After everyone left, Hiashi Hyuga put down the book in his hand, then slowly sighed and rubbed his sore eyes and brows.

He had been worried about this for days, and today someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.

If Hinata's talent were a little less exceptional, he could have allowed Hanabi to grow for a few more years, to see which of the two sisters was better, and then use the excuse of not being too hasty to delay for a few more years.

However, Hinata's talent is obvious to everyone.

The fact that Hinata had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, which Minato Namikaze used to dominate the battlefield, had already spread within the clan.

Almost everyone believes that Hinata will be the next Tobirama Senju or Minato Namikaze.

Furthermore, only Hiashi Hyuga knew about this; apart from that, Hinata had already begun working with Might Guy to deduce the empty palm technique.

Given the current situation, it is certainly better to establish an heir as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the clan.

Hiashi Hyuga understood the clan elder, but...

"Hehe, my dear dad, what are you thinking about?"

"Did you wet your pants again?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from the window.

Hiashi Hyuga's face darkened as he looked at Hinata hanging upside down outside the window.

"So disrespectful, and what do you want?"

Hiashi Hyuga did not mention the matter of those clan elders.

"My dear father, am I the kind of person who only asks you for things?"

Hinata's face was full of incomprehension towards her father, and then she flipped over and darted into the study.

"Isn't that right?"

Hiashi Hyuga asked in a serious tone.

"Of course not, I have good news for you!"

Hinata ignored her father's prejudice against her and took out a scroll from her pocket.

"What is this?"

Hiashi Hyuga took the scroll without hesitation, but as soon as he opened it, his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Burning Super-Speed ​​Light Flow Instant Opening Technique - Lightning II"

What a ridiculous name!
