Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 175: Bird in a Cage (Third Update!)

Close to the city.

Namikaze Minato lowered his voice: "Be careful when sneaking in, the other party has the Byakugan."

"If you are discovered, don't take action immediately unless the other party expresses hostility or denies it."

The other four responded, "Understood."

"Karin, you can do it." Everyone in the team is a seasoned ninja. What makes Minato Namikaze most unsure is this person from the future who is suspected to be his "daughter."

She is dressed beautifully.

But... I can't bear it.

Although he has powerful "chakra" in his body, he should no longer engage in "ninja activities".

"I don't think there's a need to hide. Just go in openly." Xianglin raised her head.

Namikaze Minato was puzzled.

"Naruto has already spotted you." Karin looked in one direction, a smile that she couldn't help but show on her face, "The Nine-Tails is coming."

Minato Namikaze was stunned, with many thoughts flooding his mind.

The name "Naruto" touched upon some of his memories.

This is the name of the protagonist of the new novel that Jiraiya-sensei is preparing.

Not surprisingly
The person with this "name" is also your own child.

It turns out that I not only have a daughter, but also a son?
Kushina, you've worked hard.

I was also amazed at Karin's perception ability.

What surprised him even more was the "Nine-Tailed Fox".

This is the name of a person, the "Nine-Tailed Fox" he knows.

He thought that through Xianglin, he had been able to see a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the future.

but.
All this messy information has turned my brain into a mess.

Aburame Shiwei raised her hand and released the bugs, then nodded after a moment: "Karin is right, someone is coming towards us."

He couldn't help but ask, "Your perception range is so wide?"

"It must be the Kagura Heart's Eye of the Uzumaki clan." Namikaze Minato shook his head and tried to calm himself down.

Karin nodded.

A red and black figure landed on her head.

Several people were alert.

What a great speed!

This instant level
Except for Minato Namikaze, no one can compare to them.

"Ha, it's Minato. Really nostalgic." He greeted her.

Minato Namikaze narrowed his eyes and stared at the fiery red fox wearing black "Japanese-style" clothing.

Although her body shape is not right and her dress is strange.

But this chakra, there is no doubt about it.

It is the tailed beast "Nine-tailed".

"What an interesting expression." Kyuubi stepped on Karin's head, grinned, and said in an extremely bad tone, "I knew you would be like this."

"It's worth it that I came here in person."

"You look confused, Minato."

It paused and looked down at Karin: "Have you told him about the future?"

Xianglin shook her head: "No."

She was afraid that her words would affect the future. Meeting Naruto was a one in ten thousand chance among the many paths of fate.

She was afraid that if she said one more word, she and Naruto would not be able to meet in the future.

Kyuubi had no such concerns.

"You didn't say? That's great." The Nine-Tails poked its head out and swung its tail, "Namikaze Minato, do you want to know?"

"Something about the future."

"Yours and Kushina's."

"Come, pray to me, and be sincere in your plea, and I will show you mercy and tell you these things."

Kakashi couldn't help it and grasped the short sword.

Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei could no longer hold back their seals.

This fox
You really deserve a beating.

Namikaze Minato smiled and shook his head: "For those of us who live in the past, it is better not to know too much about the future."

"When this mission is over and you return to the future, I will also seal this memory."

Kyuubi clicked his tongue, "You're still like this."

"It's so boring."

It stopped looking at Minato, and hovered over Karin's head, glancing at the man with the Byakugan: "Hey, the one from the Hyuga family, what's your name?"

"Hinata Hizashi." He was still able to maintain some basic politeness when facing the Nine-Tails.

But this is something he can only do with all his effort.

"Hizashi?" Kyuubi repeated the name.

The other self sends messages back to himself from there.

It was immediately happy and grinned: "So it's you."

"That's really interesting."

"bring it on."

Kyuubi shook his head and looked forward: "I'll take you to see the person you want to see."

Namikaze Minato and the others followed Karin.

But except for the blond man who could maintain an unchanged expression, the expressions of the others were more or less confused.

future
It seemed like there was a huge deviation from what they had imagined.

Ten minutes later, I arrived at the door of the meeting room.

Kyuubi slammed the door open: "Naruto!"

"I brought the person back."

Minato Namikaze followed him in.

The room had excellent lighting, and the sunlight shone on the blonde hair, refracting the light, which was a bit dazzling.

"Kushina" he looked over, the figure in the light was blurry and a little hazy, but the face was extremely clear, he called out his lover's name as he was distracted.

This face is almost exactly the same as 'Kushina'.

"Dad, you're here." Naruto greeted with a smile.

Namikaze Minato scratched his head: "Kushina and I are not married yet, so I am not used to being called that." Kakashi tilted his head.

He noticed that his teacher's child still did not have the "Konoha forehead protector".

The white haori and black "Japanese-style" clothing lining are similar to the one worn by "Nine-tailed Fox".

"Dad, you will probably choose to seal this memory." Naruto smiled and raised his hand to invite them to sit down, "So just get used to it."

Namikaze Minato nodded: "As a father, it is a very happy thing to know that my two future children will thrive."

"It's just a pity."

"I can't share this with Kushina."

Karin looked at him in surprise, covering her face with her hands, and blushed: "Uncle Namikaze, I am not your child."

Well. For now.

It was just this word that she was embarrassed to say.

"Karin is a member of the tribe that I met." Naruto tilted his head and said in a gentle tone, "Although she is not your biological daughter, there is no problem in treating her as your daughter."

“She’s a very nice person.”

Namikaze Minato scratched his head: "I misunderstood."

In the Konoha team.

Hinata Hizashi had been staring at the two white eyes since he came in. At this moment, after the greetings of the father and son reunited, he finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Namikaze, please forgive me for interrupting you for a moment."

"Are you two also members of the Hyuga clan from the future?"

A woman with a white forehead, undoubtedly a member of the clan.

The other one had a clear "bird in a cage" on his forehead, and he was a branch family ninja.

The most important thing.
This "separated" boy looked somewhat familiar and approachable to him.

Plus what Kyuubi just said.

He already had an answer.

"Yes." Hyuga Neji nodded.

Hinata looked at him anxiously.

"We are the future Hyuga clan." He held back his emotions and clenched his fists, "Now I have something I want to consult you about."

Hinata almost nodded.

Hyuga Neji took a deep breath and said, "What do you think of a bird in a cage?"

"A bird in a cage?" Hinata Hizashi lowered his head and said in a heavy tone, "This is indeed the most painful and heavy thing for every branch family."

"That's why I hate the Zong family."

"You seem to have a good relationship with the Zong family?"

Hyuga Neji didn't answer him.

"A bird in a cage." After a long silence, Hyuga Hizashi slowly spoke, "Although its existence does indeed trap us as a branch family in a cage."

"But it's also protecting the Hyuuga family."

"The Byakugan is very powerful, and its opening is simpler than that of the Uchiha clan. Every ninja village wants to have it."

“It’s because of the caged bird”

"When we die, our Byakugan will be automatically destroyed so we won't be hunted by others."

He took a deep breath.

"I don't know your name, or what you've been through."

“Don’t hold grudges.”

“This is just the responsibility we need to bear as a branch family.”

After hearing his words, Hyuga Neji's emotions gradually calmed down. He asked another question: "If one day, Konoha is faced with the dilemma of having to sacrifice one person from the Hyuga clan, will you stand up?"

Hinata Hizashi shivered subconsciously.

这 是
Is this the fate that I am about to face?

He clenched his fists, his face bitter: "Do we have to sacrifice one person?"

"Of course I will step up."

“But I’m not here to split up the family.”

"I"

"It should be for the village and for the people I cherish."

Hyuga Neji lowered his head and murmured, "Really?"

This is the same answer that Hinata Hiashi gave himself.

He had not lied to himself about this.

"Do you want to untie the bird from the cage?" Naruto tilted his head and asked lightly.

Hinata Hizashi suddenly jumped up and stared at Naruto in disbelief.

Uncage the bird?
Hyuga Neji nodded without hesitation and decisively: "Of course."

"Do you know what this will cause?" Hinata Hizashi shook his head, horrified and panicked.

Hyuga Neji also stood up: "Of course I know."

He paused for a moment and walked to the window: "You said that a bird in a cage is a bondage, but also a protection."

"But does it restrict more or protect more?"

"If it's really for protection."

"Why can the main family easily control the curse seal and decide the life and death of the branch family?"

"Why doesn't the Zong family grow this thing?"

"Why."

"Will the curse seal also limit the ability of the Byakugan?"

Hinata Hizashi opened his mouth and said, "But this will cause the branch family to revolt."

"The Hyuga clan will be destroyed!"

"You are just powerless to change the status quo, so you deceive yourself and find a suitable reason to make yourself accept it." Naruto said in a calm tone, "You can think so, but you shouldn't let others agree with your idea."

“The caged bird longs for the sky and freedom.”

“This is not a mistake.”

Hyuga Hizashi raised his head, looked at Neji confusedly, and then looked at Hinata.

Hinata, who is the "head of the family", sat uncomfortably in her seat.

Casting glances.

Not only Hyuga Hizashi, but also everyone else in the room, including Neji.

(No more~)
