Madara, let's change the world together!

"Okay! I'll get ready right away!"

"I'll tell Nisashi tomorrow."

"Do not."

Hyuga Hizashi suddenly spoke.

"Please give me one more day."

Neji is still young.

The clan elder hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Since everything has been agreed upon, it's fine to give the Japanese some preparation time, especially since a day isn't a long time.

Hyuga Hizashi stepped out of his room and saw the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon. He frowned slightly and sighed.

In the cruel world of ninjas, even saving one's own life is difficult.

What should Neji do if he dies?

Hyuga Hizashi suddenly had an idea.

This time, he sacrificed himself for the family and for Konoha. In the end, let his brother grant him one last request.

Let Neji go and become a disciple of Genji, so that he can learn his ability to see through the ways of the world.

That way, Neji won't go astray.

In these final moments, it's best to write a will.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Hiashi Hyuga was sitting alone in the Japanese-style room, his expression complicated.

I never expected the Hidden Cloud Village to be so shameless, and the Third Hokage even hoped that the Hyuga clan would be sacrificed.

Even though he knew in his heart that Konoha was very fragile and not suitable for war, Hiashi couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Third Hokage.

What should we do now?

Did he really sacrifice himself like that?

Hiashi Hyuga gritted his teeth and finally decided to start writing his will.

Hinata is less than three months old, and I hope my wife can take good care of her.

Hizashi will definitely be able to protect Hinata.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a branch family ninja from the Hyuga clan appeared outside the shoji gate.

"Master, Uchiha Mikoto has come to pay a visit."

Ok?

Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat surprised.

Considering that Uchiha Mikoto is now almost half-detached from the Uchiha clan, and is also the branch president of the Konoha Chamber of Commerce and close to Mr. Gen, he didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

"I will go to greet you personally."

Hyuga Hiashi then arrived at the gate of the clan's territory and saw Uchiha Mikoto, who had an elegant demeanor and was dressed in an ancient-style dark blue long-sleeved short dress, black stockings, and low-heeled embroidered shoes.

This outfit doesn't resemble a ninja at all; it's more like that of an elegant woman exuding mature charm.

After inviting Mikoto to the reception room, the two knelt and sat upright.

"May I ask what brings you here, Lady Mikoto?"

The Hyuga clan respects the strong, and naturally addresses powerful ninjas like Mikoto, who possess titles, as "Lord".

Mikoto took out a letter from the seal on her skin.

"This is a letter that Lord Gen asked me to deliver."

"I hope that Lord Hiashi can open it together with Lord Hizashi."

After saying this, she stood up, bowed slightly to Hiashi Hyuga, and then took her leave.

Mr. Yuan's letter?

It turns out that Mikoto Uchiha personally delivered it. Could it be...?

Hiashi Hyuga thought his fantasy was somewhat unrealistic, but he still immediately went to find his younger brother, Hizashi.

Hijiri, who was writing his will at home, was also surprised to see his brother. Then the two of them opened the letter that Kiyoi Gen had given them. There was only one sentence on it.

【I have a way to solve your problem. If you want to know, come secretly to the Konoha headquarters at 1 a.m. tonight.】

Troubled?!

Could it really be true?!

Both of them felt a tremor in their hearts, and a surge of joy rose within them.

None of them doubted Kiyoshi Gen's words; their many years of personal friendship had instilled in them a very high level of trust in him.

As for whether they would encounter any danger, they weren't worried since the meeting would take place in the village.

Night fell quickly, and the two brothers once again secretly slipped out of the Hyuga clan's territory.

This time was different from the past; the two were among the strongest in the Hyuga clan, and no one could detect them.

Soon, they traversed the long streets, using their Byakugan to evade the ninjas scouting the village, and arrived at the Konoha House commercial headquarters.

There are no more Konoha ninjas here.

Just as the two entered the small square in the heart of the commercial area, they saw two people standing side by side under the lights.

It was Kiyoi Gen and Uchiha Mikoto.

At this moment, Kiyoi Gen maintained a friendly smile, while Mikoto stood guard beside him as his protector.

The Hyuga brothers slowly walked to a spot two meters away from Kiyoi Gen, politely bowed, and asked.

"Mr. Yuan, we have arrived as promised."

"Okay, let's get straight to the point then."

Kiyoshi Gen said slowly and deliberately.

"What I want to talk about is the matter of Kumogakure forcing your Hyuga clan to offer up Hiashi's corpse."

The two brothers were so excited that they could hardly contain their emotions.

"Hizashi, your Hyuga clan's way of dealing with this is to have you sacrifice yourself in place of Hiashi, isn't it?"

!!!

Hiashi Hyuga was extremely surprised and quickly grabbed his younger brother's shoulder.

When he heard this, he immediately believed it, because the elder of the Zong family really could do such a thing.

Seeing his brother's concerned expression, Hyuga Hizashi felt more at ease.

He nodded, his expression calm.

Riji's expression immediately became complicated.

"It's come to this."

"Mr. Yuan, what exactly is this method?"

This time, Hiashi forgot his manners and instead pleaded with Kiyoi Gen to help him resolve his doubts.

Kiyoshi took out a white ball about the size of a basketball.

"Touch it."

Hyuga Hiashi touched it, and the white sphere rapidly transformed under the influence of Yin-Yang Release, taking on the shape of Hyuga Hiashi.

"This can be used as an alternative."

Roll your eyes?

Hiashi Hyuga crouched down and carefully examined the doll, discovering that the Byakugan was merely a superficial resemblance and had no actual function.

"Let's take this flesh and blood doll as a gift."

"Of course, there is another gift."

Kiyoi Gen took out a scroll and tossed it to Hyuga Hizashi.

"This is my second gift; how you do it is up to you."

Chapter 266 Hope to End Fate

A second gift?

Hyuga Hizashi opened the scroll with some doubt. At that moment, Hyuga Hiashi had just used the sealing scroll handed to him by Mikoto to put the corpse into it.

When Zu put the scroll away and came to his younger brother's side to look at it together, he noticed that his brother's hands were trembling.

What's inside?

"Nichishi, let me take a look."

Hiashi Hyuga took the scroll from his younger brother and began to peruse it.

"A Modification Plan for the Caged Bird Seal"

!!!

Hiashi Hyuga could no longer remain calm. He quickly scanned the entire document explaining the principles of the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal.

They're exactly the same?!

Hiashi's fingers, gripping the scroll, pressed out several wrinkles, and his eyes glanced at the section about modification.

He didn't plan to look at how it was modified for the time being; he was more interested in seeing the specific effects of the modified caged bird.

This new Caged Bird still destroys all of the Byakugan's abilities the moment the user dies, but it does not suppress the user's Byakugan.

In other words, the branch family imprinted with this new Caged Bird Sequence will no longer have a blind spot for the Byakugan, nor will their talent for cultivating the Byakugan be suppressed.

If that's all there is to it, then it's naturally a good thing.
