Madara, let's change the world together!

However, this new Caged Bird Seal also ensures that the branch family will never be controlled again.

It retains the function of preventing the Byakugan from being taken away, and removes the negative effects of sealing the Byakugan's abilities, but it is no longer a shackle.

More importantly, this new Caged Bird Seal can be directly modified from the existing Caged Bird Seal.

In other words, the seemingly unbreakable curse of the caged bird can be indirectly lifted.

Hiashi Hyuga's hands were trembling.

If the method of this cursed seal were to become known, the very foundation upon which the Hyuga clan maintains its main family's power would be directly undermined.

Why?!!!

Why does Mr. Yuan possess the Caged Bird Seal, a mark known only to the clan leader and elders?!

Mikoto took a small step forward, assuming a defensive posture.

Kiyoshi Gen gently raised his right hand, stopping her from moving.

“Rizu, in the six months after you became the clan leader, Riza wrote to me frequently.”

Both Hiashi and Hizashi were stunned for a moment.

While Riji was surprised, Riji was filled with astonishment mixed with gratitude and excitement.

"In his letter, he recounted many of his experiences with the Hyuga branch family."

“Many of the branch families hate the main family, and hate the caged bird curse that the main family planted in their minds.”

"Children of the main family may become members of the branch family, but children of the branch family will always remain members of the branch family."

"With the help of this caged bird curse, the branch family members cannot disobey the orders of the main family. The entire family is confined to narrow and fixed rules, carefully maintaining the continuation of the family."

"The family rules were strict, like stagnant water, devoid of vitality."

"The difference in status between the main family and the branch family is too great. Even you twin brothers who love and care for each other cannot avoid mutual suspicion."

So that's why.

Kiyoshi Gen's tone was calm, but it carried an air of brooking no argument.

“I sent someone to retrieve the scroll of your Hyuga clan’s Caged Bird Seal and improved the seal.”

"The improved scroll has been given to you. What you do next is up to you."

"By the way, if you hand over the flesh and blood puppet, it's best if Hijiri doesn't leave the clan's territory casually."

After saying that, Kiyoshi turned around and walked directly into the building.

Mikoto quickly followed and asked.

"Aren't you going to let the spies come to Hatsushi City?"

Kiyoshi shook his head.

"no need."

"My aim is to shake the power and rule of the main family with the new Caged Bird Seal."

"But to shake the position of the main family, we need an executor."

"Hyuga Hizashi is the most suitable candidate."

"In order to prevent his son from becoming a hardworking servant of the main family, and to free the branch family members from the shadows, Hizashi will definitely do his best to promote the new curse seal."

Mikoto pursed her lips, which were painted with light pink lipstick.

"What if Hiashi Hyuga disagrees?"

Kiyoi Gen stopped and looked at Mikoto with a very subtle expression.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Mikoto immediately showed a kind smile, her eyes crinkling.

That's absolutely a rhetorical question!

Kiyoshi didn't say that Mikoto was pretending to be stupid, but simply explained it.

"Hyuga Hiashi is bound to clash with Hizashi because of his status."

"But his feelings for his brother are genuine; he couldn't bring himself to kill him."

"The problem lies in how the conflict between the main family and the branch families will erupt."

"It all depends on whether the two brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, can work together to find a way to change the family."

"If they don't cooperate, either Hizashi will be imprisoned by the main family and killed by some elders with a curse seal, or a new Caged Bird curse seal will spread, causing the branch family members to collectively rebel against the main family, resulting in the family being torn apart."

Listening to Kiyoshi Gen's magnetic voice, Mikoto felt happy.

"What should we do next?"

"It depends on the situation."

Kiyoshi Gen answered casually.

"Let's see how the daily dinosaur performs first."

"If the situation becomes unfavorable, we will intervene forcefully."

I don't like Hinata as she is now.

"Hmm~"

While the two were chatting, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi outside fell silent.

At this moment, the most important thing in their minds was no longer dealing with the Cloud Village ninjas, but this thing that could determine the future of the Hyuga clan.

Suddenly, Hyuga Hizashi swiftly stretched out his hand, his Byakugan already activated.

At the same time, Hiashi Hyuga also activated his Byakugan, managing to protect the scroll in his hand in a very dangerous situation.

"Oh!"

The two faced each other palm to palm, the chakra of the Gentle Fist pushed the air aside, and the reaction force also created some distance between them.

Under the incandescent light, the shadows of the two people were stretched very long, and the shadows of their hands, which were in a soft fist stance, almost overlapped.

"Brother! Please give me the scroll!"

Hyuga Hizashi's expression was serious, clearly indicating that he had already given it considerable thought.

Hiashi Hyuga looked troubled; even though he adopted a stance, he was only passively defending.

Despite the pressure from the Hidden Cloud Village, the fact that one of the two brothers had to be sacrificed did not cause any signs of the two brothers turning against each other.

On the contrary, it was a scroll that could change the status quo of the Hyuga clan that made the two brothers wary of each other.

The two men's hearts seemed to drift further and further apart with the recoil from that palm strike.

"Sorry, it's a Japanese commuter service."

Hiashi Hyuga put the scroll into his pocket, his eyes gradually hardening.

As the head of the Hyuga clan, he simply could not ignore this thing that was enough to shake the foundation of the clan.

At the very least, we must not let the branch family get their hands on the scroll!

Chapter 267 The Future of Freedom

Hiashi Hyuga understood perfectly well that if this scroll fell into the hands of the branch families and they failed to suppress all the branch families immediately, then the Caged Bird Seal would become useless, and the main family would no longer have any means to counter the branch families.

Due to clan rules, apart from the head of the family line, only a few elders and a very small number of people belong to the main family.

Once the main family loses its means of countering the branch families, and the branch families collectively begin to rebel against the main family, then the main family will inevitably fail.

At that time, Hinata will no longer be Hinata.

At this moment, Hiashi had no time to think about why Kiyoi Gen would do such a thing. The first problem he had to face was his twin brother with whom he had a deep bond.

"Brother, as long as we can spread the new Caged Bird Seal to the entire clan, we won't have to worry about being scorned or treated unfairly, nor will we need to separate the main family and branch families anymore!"

Hyuga Hizashi felt his heart pounding wildly, his blood surging uncontrollably.

He must help Neji escape the fate of splitting the family!

We must ensure that no member of the Hyuga branch family will ever again be tormented by the Caged Bird Seal for disobeying the wishes of the main family!

Hiashi Hyuga's expression was serious.

"Hizashi, calm down."

"This must absolutely not be spread!"

"If someone who has separated from the family were to suddenly be replaced by a new caged bird, the entire family's order would be destroyed!"

At that moment, Hyuga Hizashi, who had been keeping his body low, rushed forward and struck the pressure point on Hiashi's shoulder with his Gentle Fist.

The shadows on the ground intertwined, and the fists and palms overlapped as well.

Both Hiashi and Hizashi were highly skilled in Gentle Fist, and their strengths were extremely similar. They had already exchanged more than ten punches the moment they came into close contact.

Seeing his powerful attack blocked by his brother, Hizashi couldn't help but shout.

"Clearly! This is clearly a fantastic opportunity!"

"Brother! You're only refusing because it would shake the rule of the main family!"

"Because those of us who have separated from the family no longer need to obey your orders!"

“You are from the main family, I am from a branch family.”

"That's our stance!"

"Oh!"

The two palms collided, and the blue chakra dissolved in the air like splashing water.

Just as Hyuga Hizashi said.

The power of the Hyuga clan is not based on the principle of the strong ruling the weak, like that of the Uchiha clan, but on "bloodline".

The head of the household decides whether his children should become part of the branch family, and the children of the branch family can only become part of the branch family.

Under this rule, the conflict between the main family and the branch families is predictable.

Because everything is determined by so-called "fate".

Since you are a member of a branch family, you have an obligation to serve and protect the main family!
