Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

After Chiba took Hyuga Neji with her, she went back home first, took Uzumaki Aonagi with her, and then went to the woods on the edge of Konoha Village.

On the grass in the woods, Chiba, Hyuga Neji, and Uzumaki Soranai sat cross-legged facing each other.

Qianyu said to the two of them: "Before we officially start practicing, I want to ask you a question, why do you want to practice."

Uzumaki Soranai was the first to answer: "I practice because you, Dad and Mom, wanted me to practice!"

Qianyu said with a dark face: "Wrong answer! If you don't want to practice, can Kushina and I force you to practice?"

Uzumaki Soranai's face wrinkled into a ball: "But... if I don't practice seriously, my mother will really beat me, doesn't this count?"

Qian Yu's face froze, and he coughed dryly, "Well, of course not. Let me ask you another way. What is your dream for the future?"

Uzumaki Soranai raised her little fist and said excitedly: "My dream is to have endless tempura to eat in the future!"

Chiyu could no longer bear it, so he knocked on Uzumaki Soranai's head and roared, "The dream I'm talking about is the dream you'll have after you become stronger, not this kind of dream! For example, I want to become the strongest in the ninja world, protect my family, and other serious dreams!"

Uzumaki Soranai covered her head and said aggrievedly: "But mom always said that dad is the best and will protect us. Dad, you have realized these dreams, so why should I still treat them as dreams?"

Qianyu covered her forehead with her hands, looking helpless: "Forget it, with your current experience, it's useless to ask, Ningci, what about you?"

Hyuga Neji thought about it, and thought about how as a branch family they had no status in the Hyuga clan, and how his father was tortured by his biological brother Hyuga Hiashi like a caged bird.

Hyuga Neji said with a stern look in his eyes: "I want to change the status quo. I am unwilling to be inferior to others since I was born. I want to become stronger, very strong, just like what the teacher did just now in the clan land. Only in this way can I protect myself and my father!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Qianyu's face.

Qianyu said to Hyuga Neji seriously: "Your dream is good, but do you know the effect of the caged bird curse?"

Hyuga Neji nodded and said, "I know that the caged bird is a method used by the main family to control the branch family. It will cause a splitting headache when it is triggered."

Qianyu shook his head and said, "It seems that Hiashi has not explained to you the full effect of the caged bird seal. The caged bird seal has more than just the effect of a splitting headache. This is actually just the most insignificant effect.

The real effect of the caged bird is very cruel. I think Hiashi couldn't bear to tell you this cruel fact, so he only told you this effect. "

Hyuga Neji asked in confusion: "Just the most insignificant effect? ​​Teacher, what is the real effect of the bird in the cage?"

Qianyu replied: "The caged bird curse can control and destroy the brain nerves of the branch family members, thereby controlling the branch family until the person dies. The curse can be lifted. This curse can seal the power of the Byakugan and completely destroy the eyeballs and brain of the recipient after the recipient's eyes are removed or the recipient dies.

In other words, your lives are in the hands of the main family, so you from the branch family have such low status in the Hyuga clan, like slaves.

To put it bluntly, the caged bird curse mark on your forehead is equivalent to the slave mark, so all of you who have separated from the family will use forehead protectors or cloth to cover the mark on your forehead, because it is a shame. "

Hyuga Neji stared at Chiha blankly.

This fact is a bit of a shock to Hyuga Neji now.

"Life is completely controlled... until death can release it..."

Hyuga Neji suddenly felt a sense of despair and sadness, and lowered his head: "Is this all destined from the beginning, and there is no way to change it?"

Qian Yu rebuked him sternly, "Don't act like this when you hear a truth that's not to your liking! This won't solve the problem, but will affect your judgment!

You have to learn to think. If everything is destined, then why did your father want to send you to me at all costs and let me be your master?

You have also seen that the attitude of your Hyuga clan towards me is equivalent to treating me as an enemy. If there is no way to change it, Hizashi sending you to my side is tantamount to seeking death. Not only is Hizashi seeking death, he also wants you to die!

Will your father harm you? Neji, what is the purpose of your brain? It is for you to think, not for you to feel sorry for yourself! "

Hearing Chiba's reprimand, Hyuga Neji trembled.

Uzumaki Soranai shrank his head. It was the first time he felt his father was so strict. He was usually very gentle at home.

Hyuga Neji tried hard to calm himself and think.

His teacher was right, his father would never harm him.

If the caged bird curse can only be lifted upon death, then Hinata Hizashi would never have allowed him to become Chiba's disciple.

Otherwise, if someone disobeys the clan, who knows, the clan members might just use the caged bird curse to kill them.

Based on this premise...

Hyuga Neji looked up at Chiba and said, "Teacher, could it be possible that... you can free the bird from the cage?"

Qianyu nodded and said, "It seems that you have finally thought about it carefully. That's right, because I can free the bird from the cage, and your father hopes to give you a chance to choose so that you can choose your own future path."

Hyuga Neji frowned: "Teacher... there is a question I don't understand."

"go ahead."

Hyuga Neji asked in confusion: "If the teacher can free the bird from the cage, didn't my father ask the teacher to do it?"

Qianyu shook his head and said, "I had this idea, but your father rejected it."

Hyuga Neji was confused and asked, "Ah? Why? The teacher can free the bird from the cage, and my father wants me to free the bird from the cage, so why does my father refuse the teacher's help?"

Qianyu paused and said, "Your father only wants you to have a choice, not including him. He is loyal to the Hyuga clan, even though this Hyuga clan is so unbearable. There are many reasons why Hizashi is so loyal to the Hyuga clan.

Hizashi's loyalty to the Hyuga clan may stem from his emphasis on loyalty itself, rather than his judgment of the Hyuga clan itself. In other words, Hizashi is loyal to the Hyuga clan because of his loyalty, rather than being loyal because of the Hyuga clan.

It is also possible that a deep emotional bond, such as kinship, love, or friendship, may make it difficult for Hizashi to break his loyalty to the Hyuga clan, even if he knows that the Hyuga clan is not worthy. "
