Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

"Why are they doing this?"

"When I was a child, I saw with my own eyes that my father was tortured once by Hinata Hinashi using the mark of a caged bird."

Neji explained:

“We were in the same room at the time.

“Later I also thought about how there were so many people in the branch house, and there were even people walking around outside the door.

"Everyone has a caged bird seal on their forehead. How did Hinata Hiashi accurately locate my father?"

"Such as directional chakra perception?"

For example, the chakra of each branch has its own uniqueness, and the clan can use this as a distinction to accurately find and locate the target's curse seal to activate.

Sasuke tried to express his understanding.

"There are so many ninjas separated, it's not that easy."

Neji shook his head and continued:

"The night the bow and arrow were confiscated, I suddenly remembered it. Last year, I saw it in the Konoha Ancient Documents.

"There is a book specifically introducing the curse seal technique, and in it, there is a mention of the caged bird of the Hyuga clan.

"Although the distance of the operation is not clearly stated in the book, there is a mark with the word 'near' on the explanatory diagram.

"In that book, the label description page mentioned that any ninjutsu with the word 'near' has a casting distance of no more than five meters.

"In other words, the Zong family's desire to activate the caged bird as punishment is not arbitrary and unscrupulous.

"But distance needs to be met as a condition to really cause harm to the members of the branch family."

"In other words, as long as you stay five meters away from the Hyuga clan, this caged bird will have no impact on you?!"

Hearing this, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This is a rare piece of good news.

Neji nodded and expressed his opinion:

"It is precisely because of this that the entire Hyuga clan will not develop long-range combat methods!

“And as soon as I started to show signs of pursuing this direction, I encountered huge obstacles within the clan.

“Many elders who I had never met before jumped out to educate me and blame me for this matter.

"In fact, I suspect that the entire Hyuga clan did not develop the practice of changing the nature of chakra, which is deliberate! After all, which attribute ninjutsu does not have a long-range ninjutsu?"

At this point, Neji became excited and cursed fiercely:

"What are you talking about, a curse seal set up to prevent the precious Byakugan from leaking out? It's all an excuse!

"The biggest function of the caged bird is to prevent the branch family from taking action against the Zong family! To ensure that they can protect themselves when faced with provocations from the branch family who only know how to fight in close combat, and kill them with one strike!

"Obviously, this is the mark that was carved for the purpose of enslaving the family."

"Since there is a distance limit for the caged bird to activate, why don't the separated people run away?

"Could it be that no one else has discovered this except you?"

Sasuke was still a little confused.

"Run? Where to run?"

Neji sighed and said:

"If you really become a traitor, you may be able to escape from the clutches of the Hyuga clan. But how can the power of Konoha Hidden Village allow such a thing to exist?"

Yes, the Hyuga clan's characteristics and ability to fight alone are not top-notch.

And the appearance features are too obvious.

After you get out, just a random reward may threaten your life.

Not to mention, as the strongest ninja village, Konohagakure Village has a large number of diplomatic means that can be used.

"Besides, why are you running?"

Neji looked at the distant sky, and the lives of many of his compatriots from the branch family seemed to flash before his eyes.

“The Hyuga clan is the largest clan in the village, and even if they are divided, their status in the village is not low.

“In terms of food and clothing, the people in the separated family have always been at a relatively wealthy level.

“If I hadn’t wanted to buy a heavy crossbow this time, I would never have found out that I had been too embarrassed or deprived of money.

"As long as you are willing to wear the collar obediently, remain loyal, and serve the clan diligently throughout your life, then what difference does it make whether you are carved as a caged bird or not?"

Neji repeated the opinions of the elders of the branch family that he had heard before, his heart filled with sadness:

"They, now, have raised the caged bird to a moral level, and many people from separated families have been brainwashed since childhood.

"I think that my life has the background of a 'guardian', and I am practicing something great.

“The Zong family also promotes some examples of family separation from time to time, such as my father who died for him.

"Some words of praise that are not real can make those stupid branch families proud.

"Obviously he is a dog, but he thinks he is proud!"

Sasuke's heart was churning.

For a time, too many thoughts flashed through my mind, and I suddenly didn't know how to express them.

"So, what do you think?"

In other words, why are you different?

Uchiha Sasuke tried to learn more about his partner.

"My idea is simple.

“I can guard you, but you can’t carve dog chains on children’s heads just because they come from different backgrounds.

"If you are really afraid of showing off your eyes, then we can all be carved as caged birds!

"This matter seems to be for freedom. But in fact, it is for fairness!

“I despise these high-sounding privileged bastards!

"Even if my own life is still like this, just thinking about them being pulled down makes me laugh in my dreams."

Hinata Neji changed his usual gentle demeanor and spoke violently.

"So, you just cut your hair?"

Sasuke smiled.

"Yes."

After Neji uttered his words, his tone became more relaxed:

“I had this idea in the beginning because I felt it was inconvenient during the process of practicing water escape.

“But then I discovered that this hairstyle is everywhere in the Hyuga clan.

"The people in the separated family look like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. But the people in the Zong family all look like sanctimonious, gentle, courteous and thrifty people."

This is an attempt to achieve one's own independence through differences in appearance.

"Not entirely, right?"

Sasuke recalled that, as far as he could remember, there were indeed many people in the Hyuga clan with long hair like Neji.

But in the Konoha cafeteria, I occasionally saw a few short-haired white-eyed ninjas, such as Hinata Takashi and others.

"People in the center of power, all of them."

Hyuga Neji said firmly.

"Then if you do this"

Sasuke said worriedly.

"What? I have long decided to follow you all the way to 'Black'.

"As for what status I can achieve in this decadent Hyuga clan, I don't care."

Neji said disapprovingly.

"I mean, if you do this, I'm afraid your life in the clan will not be easy in the past two years."

Sasuke finished talking about his worries.

Of course he didn't care about "status", he was just worried about Neji's situation as a friend.

Neji remained silent.

Throughout these years, Ningji's status in the clan can be said to be an inverted U-shape.

When he was a child, as his talents continued to emerge, Hinata Hiashi gradually began to notice that his scapegoat brother had left behind such a son.

After helping Sasuke and others successfully capture Gaara, Neji officially entered the power sight of the Hyuga clan's top leaders.

Since then, I have received a lot of preferential treatment in life, as well as a series of privileges in terms of resources for practice and even the authority to consult ancient books.

Afterwards, as the Water Kingdom won victory after victory in Tansho Castle, his status in the clan gradually reached its peak.

During that time, Hinata Hiashi also cared about him like a normal uncle.

However, since he started submitting withdrawal applications.

It was discovered that Neji was trying to develop long-range combat capabilities, and his status among the Hyuga clan began to gradually decline.

Now, three things happened one after another: bonus, bamboo bow, and long hair cut.

More importantly, the opportunities given by the senior management, namely attempts to communicate with Neji, had also failed.

Therefore, today's Ningji's status in the minds of senior officials has long been shaky and is no longer what it used to be.

Although, it can't be said that he was bullied and ostracized at the moment.

But judging from the trend, it may be inevitable that he will continue to be ignored and kicked out of his alternate status as the center of power.

While Neji was deep in thought, on the other side, Sasuke was also constantly thinking about his own situation.

And the value that Neji can play in his undercover plan.
