Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 178 You are all wrong (rd update!)

In front of the Hyuga mansion.

"Xiao Li, Tiantian, you two should go back." Neji turned around and spoke to the two teammates following behind him.

Xiao Li nodded in confusion and tried to widen his eyes: "Don't you need our help?"

Every day he looked worried.

"This is a family matter." Neji said softly.

Xiao Li scratched his head: "Then if there is any need for me, Neji must ask."

"We are teammates."

He raised his hands.

Neji's face was expressionless, but his body was obedient. He raised his hand and bumped fists with him.

Xiao Li grinned and laughed foolishly.

Tiantian said nothing and watched the two of them walk into the door.

The boy with the watermelon hair was about to move instantly, but the girl next to him didn't move at all.

"Tiantian, aren't you leaving?" Xiao Li asked puzzledly.

Tiantian shook his head and forced a smile: "You go first, I don't have anything to do when I go back now."

Xiao Li said "Oh".

He looked at Tiantian and wanted to stay too.

But the experience of this mission was so interesting that he couldn't wait to share it with Teacher Kai even though he only stayed there for less than half a day.

Meet the Fourth Hokage!

I also saw the young Fifth Hokage!

"I'll be back soon." Xiao Li waved his hand, full of energy, and left in an instant.

Inside the Hinata mansion.

"Ningji and Miss Hinata have completed this." The branch ninja walked up happily and greeted them, but he didn't say a few words and his eyes rested on Neci's forehead.

His eyes were dull and he couldn't speak.

The most painful thing in every family separation is being a "bird in a cage".

The Konoha ninjas along the way did not notice anything unusual about Neji.

But this branch ninja saw it at a glance.

What about the “bird in a cage”?

He raised his hand tremblingly: "You"

"The bird in the cage is freed," Neji said softly, his tone firm.

The branch ninja turned around and said: "I will go to gather the branch ninjas."

As the most talented person among the younger generation of the Hyuga family, Neji was promoted to Jonin a year ago. He is also the son of Hyuga Hizashi. In addition, he is one of the few people who has the courage to attack the main family and make the head of the main family kneel down for him.

Although there has been no clear appointment, many people already treat him as the "head of the branch family."

His admission made the branch ninja believe it immediately without hesitation.

"Don't be anxious." Neji reached out and grabbed his hand.

The branch ninja looked back in confusion.

"I don't have time to untie the caged birds for all the branch families one by one." Neji raised his head, "If we gather them all together, the only ones who will suffer will be our branch family."

As he spoke.

A figure fell down.

"Master Neji, Miss Hinata." It was a young male ninja wearing a headscarf, "Master Hiashi wants to see you."

The main family's jonin, Hinata Takashi.

His eyes rested on Neji's forehead.

"How perceptive." Neji said expressionlessly, "I should say so."

"Does the Zong family care so much about the power in their hands?"

Hinata Xiao didn't say anything, just waved forward.

He took the two of them to the conference room.

The Hyuga clan took the crack of "Bird in the Cage" very seriously.

Except for the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, all the other elders also took their seats.

The house is very big.

But none of the windows were open, the lights were off, and there were hundreds of oil lamps placed densely together, filling the room with a pungent smell of coal.

"Hinata, come here." Hyuga Hiashi waved.

but.
An expression of surprise quickly appeared on his face.

The eldest daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, even timid and fearful, did not move at this moment.

"It's a good day. The matter of the bird in the cage is important." An old man spoke up and gave a reminder.

Hinata Hiashi nodded, no longer paying attention to his daughter who had little presence, and shouted: "Hinata Neji, you dare to come back?"

"Who unlocked the bird from the cage?"

The Hyuga clan is not without the talent to practice ninjutsu.

However, compared to ninjutsu, "gentle fist" can better bring out the true power of the Byakugan.

Neji also went through the orthodox "Hyuga family" training process.

His instructor, Might Guy, is also a physical ninja.

Therefore, Rizu believed that it was impossible for him to master such powerful knowledge of "Sealing Technique".

"Don't even think about hiding it." Another elder scolded, his tone more serious and murderous, "Even if we have to mobilize the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan, we will dig out who that person is from your brain."

"People like this who shake the foundation of my Hyuga family cannot be forgiven!"

Neji didn't try to hide it: "Naruto-sama."

This name made the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnant.

Who?
Naruto?

Is this the Naruto they know?
Neji grinned and sneered, "It's Uzumaki Naruto-sama."

"The Lord Uzumaki Naruto who single-handedly defeated Kumogakure, destroyed the Akatsuki organization, and defeated the legendary Rinnegan."

The atmosphere became more stagnant.

It's really that Naruto. The elder who just made the harsh words lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack to crawl into.

"It's Master Uzumaki." An old man who looked very old, with sparse hair and beard, spoke calmly, "The Uzumaki clan is good at sealing techniques."

"The bird in the cage is a curse that has escaped the Uzumaki clan's sealing system."

"It's normal for Uzumaki-sama to be interested in this."

"Since it's him."

"Then let Uzumaki-sama research it. He is destined to be a ninja who can change the times. He might be able to research some new ninjutsu based on the 'Bird in a Cage' technique."

This isn't necessarily the best reason.

But it must be at this time that I find the most convincing reason.

These words did not break the silence.

Uzumaki Naruto unlocked this technique
Behind this behavior, there is a possibility.

That is.
Hyuga Neji was protected by that man.

This is troublesome.

Hinata Hiashi pondered, his tone softening, "If that's what Uzumaki-sama wants."

"Ningji, we won't hold you accountable this time."

Neji interrupted him, "Is it wrong to untie the caged bird?"

"Hyuga Neji, don't go too far," an old man scolded, "Even if you have Uzumaki-sama to protect you, you are still a member of the Hyuga clan!"

Neji wasn't afraid of him: "So, does anyone have an answer to my question?"

"What is wrong with untying the caged bird?"

Seeing his persistence, Hyuga Hiashi's face darkened: "Ningji, what do you want to do?"

"I want to untie all the branches," Neji said calmly.

An old man stood up in panic and shouted, "Master Uzumaki gave you the method to unlock the bird in the cage?"

Neji nodded.

"Nonsense!" another person shouted.

Others' eyes fell on him.

"I mean Hyuga Neji." The man immediately added.

He didn't dare to scold Uzumaki Naruto.

"What if we don't agree?" Another person spoke up in a low voice, "Untying the caged bird of the branch family, this can't possibly be what Uzumaki-sama wants."

Hyuga Neji assumed a soft fist stance: "Then I can only use my own way to make you agree."

Want to take action?
Can.
It’s still the same point as before.

He might be protected by that man. If he is really injured and comes to the door with this excuse, how should the Hyuga clan deal with it?

"Ningji, you may not understand." The oldest elder spoke slowly, "The bird in the cage is a constraint for the Hyuga clan, but it is also a protection."

"I've heard this kind of boring reason before." Neji sneered.

The elder shook his head, "No, Neji, you don't know."

"This is a very old rumor, and few people in the Hyuga clan know about it now."

Neji said nothing.

The elder lowered his voice, "Uzumaki-sama is on the wanted list for Uchiha Itachi, which shows us that the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan has further potential."

"When I was a child, there was actually a legend circulating among the Hyuga clan."

"That is, the Byakugan also has the possibility of evolution."

Hinata Hiashi couldn't help but look sideways.

The other elders were more or less surprised.

Neji's expression remained unchanged.

"But unlike the evolution of the Sharingan, the evolution of the Byakugan is rumored to be extremely cruel." The elder continued, "It is necessary to collect the power of the Byakugan of the tribe members, and one pair is not enough. Many tribe members must be sacrificed in order to make it evolve and transform."

“The Caged Bird was created for exactly this reason.”

"We need to be on guard not only against those ninjas outside the clan who have designs on the Byakugan, but also those within the clan who are unwilling to be content with only having the Byakugan."

The elder shook his head.

He actually didn't know very well.

I'm not sure if there really is an "evolved form" above the Byakugan.

But if the Uchiha clan's Sharingan can evolve, then the Hyuga clan's Byakugan may not be impossible too.

More importantly.

This statement can be used to deal with Hyuga Neji.

Neji froze, staring at the elder.

Is there another reason like this?
if so
He opened his mouth, wanting to free everyone in the branch family from the feeling of being a "bird in a cage", but suddenly he felt weak.

Hinata, who was standing next to Neji, clenched her fists.

Since Naruto-kun agreed to Neji's request, it means that he hopes to see the branch family freed from its constraints.

Something must be wrong.

Think about it yourself
If it were Naruto-kun, what would he do at this time?
"Ningji, I know you've always hated the 'caged bird', but you should know now that this is indeed a form of protection." Hinata Hiashi said softly, his tone sincere, "I have already apologized for the mistake I made more than ten years ago."

"Now I am willing to apologize to you again."

"Also, as the head of the Hyuga family, I will take the initiative to accept you and your children. They will all become the main family of the Hyuga family in the future."

"I won't let you suffer anymore."

Hinata's eyes lit up, she figured it out!
She shook her head, mustered up her courage, and said forcefully: "No, Dad!"

"What you said is wrong."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on this young lady, who usually looked inconspicuous and did not have the demeanor of an heiress to a major family.

She subconsciously shrank her body, feeling a little timid.

But Karin's words that night and Naruto's face flashed through his mind.

The weak courage in her heart suddenly ignited again and she jumped for joy.

"Dad, what you just said is not right at all."
