Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

"The cursed seal has disappeared!"

"Has it been lifted? But to so boldly expose her forehead like that..."

"The elder has already let him go, and the sect leader and Lord Rizashi have also gone together."

"If there's a way to break the curse, wouldn't it be better to keep it a secret? But... I acted impulsively!"

"Are you hiding this to start a war with the main clan? Do you want to betray the Hyuga clan's rules?!"

"Huang...do you want to go through that kind of pain again yesterday?"

"Or rather...would you rather your descendants, your sons or daughters, also have that kind of mark carved on them?!"

"Let's go! Let's go together!"

"No matter what, nothing can happen to Tokuma!"

“He touched upon the most fundamental aspects of the main family, and we cannot stop him…”

"Have you forgotten who his teacher was?"

"Lord Yun..."

……

Whispers arose from all around them, and Neji and Hinata exchanged a glance.

The caged bird has been freed?!

Is it Tokuma-nii-san?

If it's Tokuma-nii, then only Master Yun could achieve this level of skill.

With that thought in mind, Neji immediately headed towards the clan's council hall.

Hinata, seeing this, followed. Tokuma was from the branch family, and she was worried something might happen to him.

……

Inside the council chamber of the Hyuga clan.

At this moment, Hyuga Hyuga, Hyuga Hyuga, and Hyuga Hizashi are all present.

As an ancient family, the council chamber is still lit by old-fashioned candlelight.

Under the light, Hyuga Hiten, as an elder, asked, "Tokuma, where did the curse mark on your forehead go?!"

Tokuma raised his head slightly and replied, "As a gift for the Chunin Exams, you helped me remove the cursed seal of the Caged Bird."

teacher?

It really is that Uchiha!

Ritian couldn't help but recall several years ago...

It was this same person who forced the Hyuga clan to choose the most sacrificial method to end that incident.

Now, the other party, posing as Tokuma-sensei, is once again trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan.

Uchiha... Cloud!

After a moment of silence, Hiashi spoke up, "While it was indeed a bit overstepping, as a teacher, I believe that Tokuma already possesses the power to protect the Byakugan."

The explanations were rather weak and unconvincing.

At this moment, Japan's football team was also caught off guard.

The sudden removal of the caged bird from Tokuma's forehead implies more than just a problem involving Tokuma alone.

The caged bird was easily freed, and this method that the clan had used for many years to control the division of the family was now useless.

From the moment Tokuma appeared, everyone in the branch family knew how to break the curse.

"Lord Sect Leader..."

Ritian's voice slowly rang out, and then he said in a deep voice, "The rules of the Hyuga clan for thousands of years are intended to protect the clan so that it can continue for a long time. This has been proven over the past thousands of years."

"Uchiha Yun's power is indeed formidable; the fact that he was able to break the cursed seal on the Caged Bird further demonstrates his strength. But..."

"But these are the rules of the Hyuga clan, and he's just an Uchiha!!!"

At that moment, Hyuga Hiten was furious. He stood up and shouted, "What right does an Uchiha have to remove the cursed seal from the Hyuga branch family without permission?! What right do they have?!"

With a roar, Hyuga Hyuten looked at Hiashi: "The head of the clan should know very well what will happen after this situation occurs!"

Rizu frowned slightly.

Once the seemingly intractable situation of the caged bird was resolved, the restlessness of the family splitting up was already imaginable.

Along with this will come resistance from the division of the family.

When the cursed seal that could kill at any moment is gone, the main family loses the ability to control the branch families.

Then... the hatred that had been suppressed in the minds of the branch family for many years would quickly ferment due to the disappearance of the cursed seal.

Hiashi hesitated for a moment: "As a disciple of the Cloud Sect, that should be the reason..."

However, this explanation clearly did not satisfy them.

As an elder who was once deposed by the sect leader with the help of external forces, he has regained power due to the actions of the Hiashi brothers over the past year.

He knew very well where his power came from: from the old rules and system of the Hyuga clan.

If one day the old rules are truly broken, then as an old man, without the control of the clan elders and the curse seal, he is nothing!

"Hizashi..."

The elder met the gaze of the sir standing to the side.

Then he asked in a deep voice, "As a member of this branch family, I think you should know what the responsibilities of a branch family are..."

When asked this question, Hizashi replied without hesitation, "Protecting the main family with one's life is something that the branch family members have always kept in mind."

Hyuga Hiten nodded slightly, then looked down at Tokuma: "Members of the branch family must protect the main family with their lives. In order to prevent enemies from obtaining the Byakugan, the Caged Bird Seal was created."

"Tokuma... do you still remember your mission as a member of the branch family?"

Tokuma easily raised his head, looked around, and then his gaze was filled with determination and solemnity.

"No one in the branch family has forgotten the principle of protecting the main family with their lives. But that... is not a reason for being a caged bird!!"

!!!

In an instant, Hinata Hyuga's gaze was fixed on him.

For the first time, murderous intent emanating from their own kind surfaced all around.

After a long silence, Hyuga Hiten finally spoke, "Do you know what you're saying, Hyuga Tokuma?!"

The name he uttered through gritted teeth seemed to be a reminder to Tokuma, a reminder of the significance of the Hyuga surname.

"Haven't they become this arrogant now that they're no longer threatened by being caged birds?"

"So...they are not trustworthy."

"The family's rules, which have been in place for thousands of years, will not be allowed to be broken by someone like this!"

"He's just relying on his teacher's power, but even if it's Uchiha Kumo, what right does he have to change the Hyuga clan's rules!"

"If the caged bird is still alive, let's teach him a lesson now!"

……

"boom."

Amid the murmurs, the doors to the conference hall were suddenly pushed open.

Not knocking beforehand is unthinkable for the rule-abiding Hyuga clan.

The members of the branch family filed in, each standing behind Hizashi and giving Tokuma a supportive look.

The Japanese team frowned slightly as they watched this scene; it was all happening too fast...

At such a fast pace, the conflict between the main family and the branch families is bound to arise.

As the head of the clan, what he wanted was not just to change the rules, but more importantly, to ensure that the Hyuga clan remained in chaos.

"What...do you want to do?!"

A furious shout rang out, and Hyuga Hiten looked behind Hizashi: "So you're planning a coup? Forgot your mission and turned your spearhead against the main family? Are you trying to rebel?"

The members of the branch family behind Hijiki looked at each other in bewilderment, and after a moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward.

“Elder, we do not intend to rebel, and we have always remembered our mission.”

"But we cannot accept entrusting our lives to the main family, and suffering excruciating punishment even for the smallest things!"

Is that unacceptable?

Hyuga Hiten's gaze fell upon the middle-aged clansman, and the next moment...

"Buzz!"

With the hand seals formed, the curse seal on the caged bird was instantly activated.

"what!!!"

With a splitting headache, he let out a painful howl and could only roll around on the ground for a while.

"Stop. I told you to stop!"

Under Hiashi's furious roar, Hyuga Hiten finally stopped.

But this scene also filled the eyes of the branch family members behind Hizashi with hatred.

Richa quickly helped the middle-aged man to the back, then looked up and asked, "Elder, I want to know what Huang's father did wrong just now?"

Under the questioning voice, Hyuga Hiten stared intently at Hizashi: "Disrespecting the main family and attempting to erase your own destiny. Isn't that enough?"

At this moment, Tokuma, whose eyes were also bloodshot, stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Then, as someone whose cursed seal has been removed, shouldn't I be killed outright, Elder?"

Hinata Hite frowned slightly.

The guy in front of me is not Huang!

Behind him stood Uchiha Kumo, a presence that no one could ignore.
