Madara, let's change the world together!

This is the reason why Hyuga Hizashi harbors such animosity towards the main family.

It should be said that every family that splits up has its share of dissatisfaction with the main branch.

Hiashi Hyuga was aware of this, so he was very afraid that this spark would ignite the resentment of the branch family members, thus plunging the entire Hyuga into a predicament.

At that point, Hinata will truly no longer be Hinata.

"Hizashi! Calm down!"

"I can't calm down!"

"Oh!"

At the same moment their palms met again, both of them focused their attention.

Soft Fist Technique: Bagua Sixty-Four Palms! x2

The rapid attacks of fists, palms, and fingers intertwined, creating a dense whistling sound in the air.

The brothers had already pushed their eye-rolling to the limit, endlessly repeating the cycle of observation, attack, and defense.

Sixty-four palm strikes! x2

"Oh!"

Gentle Fist's chakra exploded once again.

However, just when the two should have been separated by the reaction force, Hyuga Hizashi forced his body forward under the pressure of the force.

"I will set Neji free!!!"

Hiashi Hyuga was stunned when he saw the light in his younger brother's eyes.

The palm struck him squarely in the chest.

Hyuga Hizashi was also taken aback for a moment.

He hadn't expected his brother to not even defend himself, and subconsciously withdrew some of his power.

"puff!"

Hiashi spat out a mouthful of saliva, clutching his injured stomach.

Fortunately, he stopped, otherwise that palm strike would have made it impossible for him to stand up.

Freedom?

Hiashi saw a fleeting look of shame in his younger brother's eyes.

The other person's hesitant movements became firm again.

"Brother, please hand over the scroll."

"Those who have separated from their family should no longer be 'caged birds'."

Birds in a cage

On the day he became the head of the family, his father specifically instructed him to keep his distance from his younger brother and from those who had separated from the family.

If any member of the branch family has any ideas that are detrimental to the main family, they will be severely punished with the Caged Bird Seal.

Because the Caged Bird Seal is both a shackle that binds those who have separated from the family and a form of protection.

Hiashi Hyuga bent over and exhaled a long breath.

He fondly remembers the time he spent traveling with his brother, and the days when they were inseparable.

However, their identities as the main family and the branch family severed their relationship.

Perhaps a new Hyuga can really be established.

"Snapped!"

Hyuga Hizashi instinctively caught the scroll that was suddenly thrown at him, looking puzzled.

They actually gave it to me?

"Hizashi, go back and have Neji inscribe the new Caged Bird Seal."

Hiashi Hyuga said in a sincere tone.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone about the new curse mark."

"Hyuga can't withstand this impact right now."

"At least, we should discuss this further before slowly informing the other members of our tribe."

After calming down, Hyuga Hizashi immediately understood what his brother meant.

Indeed, given the current state of Konoha, the Hyuga clan cannot afford any further damage.

All we need to do is let Neji use the new Caged Bird Seal first.

Ri Xia nodded, put the scroll in his pocket, and then reached out his hand to his brother.

Hijikata grasped his younger brother's hand and was then helped to his feet.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"Fortunately, I wasn't injured."

After the two reached a temporary agreement, Hyuga Hiashi turned to look at the huge building at the base.

Hyuga Hizashi also sensed something, and the two simultaneously began to guess Kiyoi Gen's intentions.

Normally, it should be a fight to the death for an outsider to steal the Hyuga family's secrets, but neither of them had that intention.

First, the strength of Kiyoshi Gen's subordinates far exceeded their expectations; they were able to steal the Caged Bird Curse Scroll even under their tight protection without being discovered.

Secondly, the two respected Kiyoi Gen. After obtaining the Caged Bird Seal, Kiyoi Gen did not try to control the branch family members. Instead, he redesigned it and created a more perfect curse seal.

Although this cursed seal will inevitably cause a great uproar for the Hyuga clan.

The two quietly returned to their tribe's territory.

All night long, Hiashi Hyuga pondered the future of his clan, while Hizashi Hyuga meticulously studied the scrolls, learning how to set up spell seals.

The next morning, Hyuga Hizashi excitedly pulled his son over and spent half an hour successfully planting a new cursed seal on Neji.

The green curse mark, resembling an olive branch headdress, slowly disappeared into the skin on Neji's forehead, connecting with Neji's Byakugan.

Seeing Neji touch his forehead in confusion, Hizashi couldn't help but hug him.

"Great!"

"Neji, you are free from now on!"

A deep sense of gratitude welled up in Hizashi's heart for Kiyoi Gen.

Perhaps this gift should be called "The Future of Freedom".

Chapter 268 An Uncontrollable War

There was only half a day left before Hyuga Hizashi's agreed-upon preparation time.

He and his brother, Hiashi Hyuga, went to a secret room that only the head of the family could enter and began their discussion.

"I've been thinking about this all night."

Hiashi Hyuga shared his thoughts.

"The current situation cannot be reformed."

"The new Caged Bird Seal cannot be revealed to anyone other than the two of us at the moment."

"The specific implementation requires a long-term plan, and it is essential to ensure that the Hyuga clan does not lose its family strength and status within the village due to the reform."

“But I’ve decided to first modify your Caged Bird Seal into a new one.”

Hyuga Hizashi understood his brother's sincerity upon hearing these words.

"So what should we do next?"

"Let's deal with the Cloud Village's coercion first."

Hiashi Hyuga began to explain his short-term plans.

“I have carefully examined the flesh and blood doll that Mr. Yuan gave me.”

"Except for the slightly odd white part of the eye, everything else is perfect."

"Now all we need to do is hand over the flesh and blood puppet."

He paused for a moment, then added.

"You can't tell the other members of your tribe that you're still alive."

"The materials used to create such lifelike flesh and blood dolls are probably extremely precious, and Mr. Yuan certainly doesn't want us to reveal this secret."

"His power is far beyond our imagination; it's best not to offend him."

"This part of the main family's residence, like the secret vault, is protected by a barrier that even the Byakugan cannot see through. If you stay in this area, you will not be discovered by the clansmen."

"Once you're ready, you can stay in the basement here for now."

"After this incident, I will use this as compensation for your sacrifice to bring Neji to live in the main family's residence, and I will leave his daily education to you."

Hinata Hinata nodded and asked a question.

"Brother, when will the clansmen know about the new curse mark?"

Hiashi Hyuga hesitated for a moment before answering.

"I will select a few loyal people and give them new curse marks."

"We will take action after the preliminary plans are completed."

"it is good!"

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to first deal with the Cloud Village's coercion.

Hiashi Hyuga personally informed the elders of the main family of his and his brother's decision, and showed them the flesh-and-blood puppet that was a replica of himself.

The elders of the main family were surprised by Hyuga Hizashi's decisiveness, and also very surprised that Hyuga Hiashi could still maintain that serious and earnest expression.

Without realizing it, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He dared not think too much about what would have happened if he hadn't persuaded Hyuga Hizashi and the other party hadn't voluntarily sacrificed himself.
