Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

"I don't know, Master Kazuki, what is your attitude towards the Hyuga clan..."

Hinata Hizashi pondered for a moment, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Attitude? They cruelly and coldly enslaved their own compatriots, but in the end, they were still exposed. They were called protection, but in fact they were enslaving."

"Not only was it taken away by a jonin from the Kirigakure, but it also led to this farce. As the cause of everything, it is better to abandon this boring ninjutsu like the caged bird. What do you think?"

Shocked, Hyuga Hizashi found it unbelievable. Could it be that the young man in front of him really had a way to destroy the curse that had bound the Hyuga branch family for hundreds of years?

"Think it through, then bring the Hyuga branch here, and you will gain true freedom. As for the price, that is something we will discuss later."

At dawn, outside Konoha Village.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hyuga clan were waiting at the entrance of the village. As a famous family with a long history in Konoha, the Hyuga clan naturally had more than one channel of information.

Naturally, he knew everything that happened outside the Hidden Cloud Village, so much so that Hyuga Hiashi, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, had to quickly express his attitude and try to ease the tense atmosphere with the branch family.

Next to Hiashi, the sleepy little Neji was trying to stay awake even though he was drowsy, waiting for his father to come back.

It was early morning and the air was misty.

At the end of the path, there were two shadowy figures, making it difficult to tell who they were.

A sharp light flashed in his cloudy old eyes. The Third Hokage put away his pipe, held his head high, coughed twice, and then spoke.

"Well done. Perhaps it's because Konoha has always been integrated that Kumogakure saw it as weakness. After this lesson, they haven't dared to do anything offensive in the past few years."

As his eyes swept over, he saw that the figure in black clothes and black robes was carrying a dark-skinned female ninja from Kumogakure on his shoulders.

"Prisoners? Hand them over to Ibiki and torture them for important information from Izumogakure as soon as possible."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Morino Ibiki, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded slightly and took two steps forward.

"Uchiha Kagetsu, please hand this prisoner over to the Konoha interrogation team. We will get useful information from her as soon as possible."

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi behind Kagetsu, brothers who were born only a few seconds apart in strength, looked at each other.

"I'm back. Thank you for your hard work."

"what."

The communication between the brothers ended here. Hinata Hizashi looked at his son. When his eyes swept over the bandage wrapped on his forehead, his heart was hurt by the meaning it represented.

"Your talent and freedom must not be restricted by a caged bird. This is the only thing I, a useless father, can do for you, even if..."

Nodding slightly to the Third Hokage and the others, Hizashi turned and left with his child. Looking at the backs of the father and son, Hyuga Hiashi felt inexplicably frightened in his heart.

However, before Rizu could think carefully, a sudden burst of strong wind made him alert in an instant.

The storm blew away the morning mist, and the cold chakra made the Third Hokage's gauze hat flutter wildly. The black clothes and robes on the opposite side rustled, and a sneer came from under the demon fox mask.

"You've grown in ability, Ibiki. You dare to block my way? Do you think your torture can beat my Sharingan?"

He hurriedly took two steps back, chilled by the aura that was gathered from the terrifying, cold chakra.

Although he could barely be considered a graduate of the ninja school of the same era as the monster in front of him, it was not until he actually faced him that Ibiki realized how much power this guy possessed.

"Uchiha Kagetsu, prisoners must be controlled in the village. This is an iron rule that cannot be compromised. Moreover, the woman on you is not an ordinary ninja. The information she holds..."

"I will ask her to write down the important information about Kumogakure and pass it on to the village. Correspondingly, if the Kumogakure party comes to ask for someone, you must also stop them. Excuse my rudeness, I will leave first."

The figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street. Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the figure silently, and remained silent for a while.

"Third Hokage, are you really going to let Uchiha Kagetsu allow that Kumogakure female jonin to move freely in the village?"

"You are worried that Uchiha Kagetsu will reveal the important secrets of the village. Ever since he returned from Kumogakure, the most important secret and the most vigilant person in Konoha Village has changed. Even the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has to step back."

There were dark clouds in the old man's eyes. Sarutobi Hiruzen was really afraid that one day, the Uchiha would have the idea of ​​a coup, and a young man wearing a three-eyed demon fox mask would ride a fox and put on armor to start a killing spree.

Huayue, who had not yet realized that she had been treated better than the nine-tailed fox, was now in her own home, putting down the linen clothes on her shoulders and gently lifting her eyelids.

"Otetsu-sama!"

Ma Buyi, who was immersed in the illusion, woke up. His pair of green eyes were blank for a moment, and then his face turned red, showing shyness, but more of shame and anger.

After all, he is the personal secretary of the Fourth Raikage. Not only does he master the secret technique of space and time, the Tensou Jutsu, he is also the brains of the Hidden Cloud Village and knows countless secrets.

But who would have thought that today I would be captured alive and also fall under an illusion. It was truly an immense humiliation.

"What do you want to do? No matter what you do, I will never reveal any secrets about Kumogakure, even if I have to torture you. This is the insistence of every Kumogakure."

The next second, the skin as smooth as silk and satin was touched by some cold spots, and the unprecedented stimulation made Ma Buyi's heart beat faster.

"You may say that, but your body is honest. At only 16 years old, you can become the brains of Kumogakure and master the Tensou technique. That's great."

"Qualified to be my personal secretary."

Ma Buyi could only watch as his body slowly stretched towards the future, out of his control.

"You...what do you want to do? Stop it, damn it, I can't control it, it's you who did it!"

"What do I want to do? Of course, I'll be a secretary when I have work to do, and when I have nothing to do..."

In the evening, on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

Many elite ninjas from the Hyuga branch mysteriously left the Hyuga clan's territory and headed for the edge of Konoha, a fiery red maple forest.

"Hizashi-sama, is there really someone there?"

Many ninjas from the Hyuga branch family had longing looks on their faces. Children from branch families were born into the branch family and had no hope in their lives.

Not only are the mission salaries exploited by the main family, but when sacrifice is required, one must make sacrifice without the slightest complaint. Is the life of a branch family not also a life?

Over hundreds of years, the resentment accumulated by generations of Hyuga branches has almost reached the point where a direct conflict is about to break out.

If it weren't for the action of restraining the branch family members with the caged bird, they would have completely broken up with the main family long ago.

"arrive."

Everyone stopped and looked eagerly at the figure sitting in the woods, in silence.

"From today on, you will become caged birds and enjoy your freedom to the fullest."

The breeze blew gently, and the figure sitting cross-legged under the red maple tree had the ancient bamboo scroll in his hand flashing red light.
