Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

Wouldn't that break the curse of the caged bird?

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En, who were listening on the side, all had their expressions changed slightly. They all knew very well what this meant.

I never thought that the caged bird curse passed down from generation to generation in the Hyuga clan would ever be broken.

Was it Orochimaru who did this?

Danzo Shimura thought about the number of times Orochimaru and Hinata Mio had come into contact, and also about the books related to the curse seal that Orochimaru had asked for at that time.

Naturally, he wouldn't say such things out loud. He would just watch things develop quietly.

"Don't you want to talk?"

When Hyuga Yame saw that Hyuga Mio and the others were silent, he knew that this was not a simple matter, but had shaken the foundation of the Hyuga clan.

"If you don't want to tell me, I can only ask the people from the mountain tribe to explore the memories in your brain."

Even if he had to beg, Hyuga Yame would have to invite people from the Yamanaka clan to read their memories to find out how they made the caged bird seal lose the control of the main family.

"The Zong family is as arrogant as ever! Are you scared now that we are out of control?"

Hinata Jie, who had been hit by Hinata Yame's Bagua Kong Zhang before, glared at Hinata Yame and the people of the main family with hatred on his face.

"Are you so scared that you'd put aside the pride of the Hyuga clan and ask for help from the Yamanaka clan?"

Hyuga Mitsuto looked at him with sarcasm and mocked, "You really want to enslave the branch family? The pride of the Hyuga clan that you main family members talk about is nothing more than this!"

"Shut up! Are you not members of the Hyuga clan?"

An elder couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.

Hinata Yami saw that the members of the Fen family present yearned for the restraint of the Caged Bird Curse. If he could not kill that idea in their hearts, they might secretly conduct research and try to break the Caged Bird Curse after knowing that the Caged Bird Curse was not absolutely unbreakable.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Yame looked at the Konoha high-ranking officials who were listening and said, "Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama, and the two advisors, please do not stop me from doing what I am going to do next."

After saying that, Hyuga Yami formed a seal with one hand and activated the caged bird curse seal of all the branch family members present.

In an instant, the dojo was filled with the painful wails of the Hyuga clan members.

Volume 79: Chapter Pressure on Konoha's Top Management

"Hokage-sama! It hurts!"

"Hokage-sama! Save us!"

"Hokage-sama! Danzo-sama!"

"Save us!"

The members of the branch family covered their heads with their hands. In extreme pain, all they could think of was asking for help from the Hokage and the Hokage's assistants.

The people in the center of the dojo clenched their fists as they watched the branch family member suffering the pain of a caged bird, and couldn't help but glance at Hinata Mio.

It was Hinata Mio who brought the method to unlock the caged bird curse and the improved caged bird curse.

They knew very well that Hinata Mio must know who had unlocked and improved the caged bird curse, but they could not ask her to tell them.

Hinata Mio closed her eyes and lowered her head. No matter what, she would not give Orochimaru away.

She didn't believe that Hyuga Yame would use the caged bird seal to kill all the branch family members in front of the Konoha high-level officials.

Hyuga Yame just wants them to be unable to bear the pressure and confess voluntarily!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the members of the Hyuga clan who were rolling on the ground and wailing in pain, and his face turned very ugly. How could he not understand what Hyuga Yame meant? Was he forcing those people to tell him how to make the caged bird curse seal uncontrollable?

Hyuga Yame was clearly asking him to make a choice, whether to help the Hyuga clan find the person who tampered with the caged bird curse seal.

"Hyuga Yame! What are you doing? Are you demonstrating to us?"

Danzo Shimura had a gloomy expression on his face as he looked coldly at Hyuga Yami. The chakra that erupted from his body swept past like a gust of wind.

"Or do you really want to show off your authority as the head of the Hyuga family in front of us?"

Countless black shadows flashed by, and the Root ninjas surrounded the entire dojo.

In Danzo Shimura's view, Hyuga Yagami's behavior was a provocation to them and a humiliation to them. If he were the Hokage, he would put aside the matter of the caged bird curse and first talk about the crimes committed by Hyuga Yagami!

The Hyuga clan is not his Hyuga Yami's clan, but the Hyuga clan of Konoha!

What was the intention of casting the caged bird curse in front of them and letting them see the pain of the people in the branch family?

"Danzo!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Shimura Danzo, looked at Hyuga Yame and said sternly: "Yame, I don't care what happened within your Hyuga clan, but they are not only members of the Hyuga clan branch, but also members of Konoha!"

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En stood beside Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo respectively, making their position clear. If Hyuga Yame insisted on punishing the Hyuga clan's branch family in front of them, then don't blame them for interfering in the Hyuga clan's family affairs.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama, the caged bird seal is related to the foundation of the Hyuga clan. I need to know who tampered with their caged bird seal and resorted to this desperate measure."

Hyuga Yami's goal has been achieved. He just did that to get them involved. Instead of asking the Yamanaka clan to come, it would be better to let the Hokage and other Konoha high-level officials handle this matter.

This will not only preserve the dignity of the Hyuga clan, but also find out who tampered with the caged bird curse seal.

This concerns the inheritance of the Hyuga clan, and he believes that the Hokage will understand how important the caged bird seal is to the Hyuga clan.

A total of ten people including Hinata Mio were taken away by the Anbu ninja. Before leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen said that he would investigate the matter. As for the result of the investigation, it depends on who tampered with the caged bird curse seal.

Hokage building, conference room.

"What do you think about the Hyuga clan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes swept across the faces of Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En.

"The main Hyuga clan uses the Caged Bird Seal to control the branch clans, claiming it's for the sake of family inheritance, but in reality, they don't want the branch clans to escape their control. Otherwise, why would the branch clans behave so disgracefully when the Caged Bird Seal can't control them? They activated the Caged Bird Seal just to show us! They're trying to drag us into helping the main Hyuga clan!"

Utane Koharu narrowed her black eyes, tightly gripping the armrests of the chair, with veins bulging on the back of her hands. One can imagine how angry she was at the moment.

The main family of the Hyuga clan uses the caged bird seal to control the branch family. This is equivalent to the Hyuga clan's branch family not being ninjas of Konoha, but ninjas of the main family. What does this mean?

Utane Koharu has long been unhappy with the system of the Hyuga clan's main and branch families, but because of her status and the fact that the first and second Hokage had no objection to the Hyuga clan's system, she has never said anything.

Now that she has this opportunity today, she will definitely share her thoughts.

"The caged bird seals of the Hyuga clan's branch families should all be replaced with caged bird seals like those used by Hyuga Koto, Hyuga Suke, and Hyuga Mio, which are not controlled by the main family. This way, even if the Hyuga clan's system of branch families still exists, the main family won't be able to control the branch families through the caged bird seal! Now, the Hyuga clan has become a problem for Konoha! It's all because of the caged bird seal that things are like this!"

Utane Koharu didn't speak before in the Hyuga clan's main residence because everything was handled by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, and Shimura Danzo, the Hokage's assistant.

As a consultant who gives advice, it is not appropriate for her to speak in that kind of occasion. But it is different when she returns to the Hokage Building. The conference room is her home ground and she can speak without restraint.

Then, the ones who had to bear the firepower were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and Mito Kado En.

(Utane Koharu and Mitokado En are still very young. Utane Koharu was a very beautiful woman when she was young. Sarutobi Konohamaru's father and Sarutobi Asuma were not born yet. Sarutobi Asuma was probably born when Orochimaru was 21-22 years old.

Oh, and in the manga, it was Koharu Utatane who suggested wiping out the Uchiha. Well, that woman is a wolf-slayer.)

"The Hyuga clan's head clan member, Hyuga Yame, would not agree to this, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big commotion."

Mitomon En shook his head slightly. He didn't think that Utane Koharu's idea could be realized. From the attitude of the main family, it can be seen that they will not give up control of the branch family.

"Isn't this a rare opportunity? A chance to free the Hyuga clan's branch family from the control of the main family! What are you hesitating about?!"

Utane Koharu stood up and said loudly that she didn't understand. It was obviously for the good of the village, so what were they hesitating about? Are they really men?

No wonder they need to drink medicinal tea, it turns out they are all useless!

"Second Hokage, Lord Tobirama has never thought of changing the Hyuga clan's system. Is it really okay for us to interfere with the Hyuga clan's system without permission? Konoha is a village with many ninja clans, and each ninja clan has its own clan rules, which were established before they joined Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very clear that this was an opportunity to prevent the branch family of the Hyuga clan from being controlled by the main family, but as the Hokage, what would the other ninja clans think if he intervened in the affairs of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan in this way?

Looking at the overall situation, interfering in the affairs of the Hyuga clan's main and branch families is not a good thing in any way, and may even affect the foundation of Konoha.

Today, you, Hokage, can interfere in the internal affairs of the Hyuga clan, but can you interfere in the affairs of my clan tomorrow?

Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to consider whether other ninja clans will have such thoughts.

Being a Hokage is not an easy job...

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and thought that if he was not the Hokage now, he would be the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan. If there was anything, he could put pressure on the Hokage instead of letting others put pressure on him.

"Haven't you ever thought that change is necessarily the right thing to do? It's you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is the Hokage now! You are the Hokage of Konoha!"

Utane Koharu accused, as a Hokage, how could he mention the First and Second Hokage in everything?

Danzo Shimura looked at Utatane Koharu who was firing on all cylinders, and he found it difficult to say what he had originally wanted to say to Sarutobi Hiruzen. When he thought about becoming Hokage in the future, he would have to deal with endless reports and documents, endure all kinds of pressure, and also face Utatane Koharu's difficulties.

He suddenly became less obsessed with the position of Hokage.

What kind of throne is this?

Only a fool like Hiruzen would be willing to be Hokage, right?

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was so worried that his head was bald, Shimura Danzo thought with glee.

Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed the gloating look in Shimura Danzo's eyes, and thought to himself, as the Hokage's assistant, if he didn't offer advice on such matters, how could he be left idle?

"Danzo, what do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to divert Utatane Koharu's firepower towards Shimura Danzo.

The main point is that if I am not doing well, don't even think of gloating over my misfortune.

"First, we need to find out who tampered with the caged bird curse, and then decide on other matters."

Danzo Shimura thought for a moment and said that he was not trying to trick Orochimaru, but after the meeting, the first person he would look for was Orochimaru, the person who tampered with the Hyuga clan's caged bird curse seal.

He had no idea about the Hyuga clan's main and branch family systems.

To be honest, he really looked down upon the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, and he had no idea about the Uchiha clan's Sharingan now that the Uchiha clan was gradually integrating into Konoha.

It's not impossible to use the Sharingan in his right eye in the future, but it's a bit troublesome that the Sharingan cannot be closed. It will continue to consume his chakra. He has tried many methods but still can't close it. It seems that it is incompatible with the body.

I think the only one who can use the Sharingan perfectly is the Uchiha.

"Indeed, at the moment, we can only find the person who tampered with the caged bird curse."

Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with Shimura Danzo's words and held the pipe in his hand, wanting to light the tobacco inside.

"Then, we need to investigate who has the most frequent contact with those separated families and who has the ability to tamper with the caged bird curse..."

As Mitomon En was talking, he thought of a person who, although young, had extremely terrifying talents and abilities, and had close contacts with Hinata Mio, a branch of the Hyuga clan.

If there was anyone most likely to tamper with the caged bird seal, it would be her.

"Orochimaru..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew who Mito Kado En was thinking of.

"Could it be Orochimaru?"

Utane Koharu believes that if Orochimaru is given enough time, she will be able to tamper with the caged bird curse. From Orochimaru's research results, it can be seen that this child's interests are really frighteningly wide, from medicine to biology.

The Chimera worms were raised directly by the Aburame clan in the family's territory. Aburame Shisuke also gave them the right to choose someone who could communicate with them, and they were treated like ancestors.

Every day, the people of the Aburame clan try to attract the Mimera bugs in various ways, just to sign a psychic contract with one of them.

You have to know that Chimera worms are monogamous. If you win over the husband or wife of one worm, won’t you capture the rest as well?

There are many summoned beasts that can fly in the ninja world, but for the Aburame clan, the coolest ones are summoned beasts like the Chimera.

"cough!"

Shimura Danzo coughed lightly and reminded them with an outsider's attitude: "I have to remind you that Orochimaru is now living in the Senju Mansion. You'd better think about how to ask her about this matter. You still have to make a decision. The main family of the Hyuga clan will not let you go."

How could the three of them not see Shimura Danzo's attitude, which was "Stay away from me, what you do has nothing to do with me!"

It was obvious that Danzo Shimura didn't want to get involved.

He had finally managed to make Orochimaru feel good about him, and there would be many areas in the future where he would need Orochimaru's help, so he didn't want to do anything that would disgust Orochimaru. Given Orochimaru's age, her future was limitless.

You don’t have to be Hokage’s assistant, but you must not lose Orochimaru’s favor.

Danzo Shimura made a fortune just by relying on the money he earned from Shimura Medicinal Tea in Konoha and the share of the profits from White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company.

(White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company claimed that Shimura Medicinal Tea was a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation by Shimura Danzo, so they had to give Shimura Danzo a share of the profits. It must be said that Shimura Danzo did not take the blame in vain and did not suffer any loss at all.)

What can't be done with money?

Why should we be so obsessed with the little power we have?

Hokage?

Isn't it just for funding?

Once you let go of certain obsessions, you will discover how narrow your previous vision was.
