Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

Hyuga Hizashi calmly accepted the request to die for Hyuga Hiashi, and is now sitting on the tatami, waiting for Hyuga Neji to wake up.

After Hyuga Neji woke up, he sat up suddenly. When he saw Hyuga Hizashi beside him, he said anxiously: "Father, you can't go! The Hyuga clan is not worth your sacrifice!"

Hyuga Neji was extremely anxious, his eyes were red and his voice was already tearful.

Hinata Hizashi sighed and said, "Ningji, I did this voluntarily. I don't regret it or feel unwilling."

Tears were already flowing down from the corners of Hyuga Neji's eyes: "Father..."

Hyuga Neji no longer had any idea how to persuade Hyuga Hizashi.

At this moment, a snake emerged from Neji's sleeve and swam onto the table.

Hinata Hizashi looked at the snake and asked in surprise: "Are you... Chiba?"

The snake made a voice like Chiba: "Yes, I am sharing senses with this snake now. Hizashi, if you die, you will not be able to participate in Neji's future. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to give up your life and miss the growth of your child for the unworthy Hyuga clan?

As long as you say a word now, I will help you, help you break the curse, and then help you leave Konoha and join my organization.

You are Neji's father, Neji is my apprentice, and you also said that I am Neji's second father, so I really don't want you to die in such a worthless way."

Hinata Hizashi replied firmly: "Chiba, no matter how you and Neji persuade me, my answer will never change from the beginning to the end."

Chiba fell into a long silence, and then asked again: "Why? You are so loyal to the Hyuga clan, it is really too abnormal. If you are so loyal, you would not let Neji follow me. There must be a reason, right?"

This time, it was Hyuga Hizashi who fell silent. He looked guiltily at Hyuga Neji who was crying beside him.

Chiba said in a deep voice: "Speak, Hizashi, Neji is your son, he should know, and you should give Neji an explanation, after all, Neji is going to lose his father."

Hinata Hizashi sighed deeply and said, “I don’t want to tell Neji because I don’t want Neji to bear all this, and I want it to end with me.

I am Neji's father, and also the head of the branch family. If I, as the head of the family, choose to escape, release the caged bird and defect from Konoha, then the situation of other members of the branch family in the Hyuga clan in the future will be particularly difficult.

I have already been willful once regarding Neji's matter, and because of my willfulness, the situation of the branch family in the Hyuga family has begun to feel stressful. I can't be willful anymore.

If my life can make their lives better in the Hyuga family, then I can die with joy.

But this is my responsibility as the head of the branch family, and I don't want this responsibility to be placed on Neji, so I don't want Neji to know about this."

Hyuga Neji looked at Hyuga Hizashi in a daze. He didn't expect that his father was unwilling to remove the bird from the cage because of this reason.

Chiba also didn't expect that Hyuga Hizashi was the one who wanted to split up the family and kept refusing his help.

After all, Qianyu had no concept of a clan in his mind, so he never thought that the reason why Hinata Hizashi was unwilling to accept his help was because of the branch family.

Chiba said seriously: "So, Hizashi, what if I can help those Hyuga branch ninjas who are willing to leave to free the caged birds and go with you?"

Hyuga Hizashi shook his head and said, "It's impossible, Chiba. In addition to being a bird in a cage, there is another reason why the Hyuga clan has been able to develop to this day, and that is the solidification of their ideas.

Almost all members of the branch families, no matter how dissatisfied they are with the system of the main family and the branch families, will not be willing to leave the Hyuga clan, because in their minds, this is an internal conflict. No matter how excessive the people of the main family are, they cannot betray the Hyuga clan.

Because before the conflict between the main family and the branch family, we were all members of the Hyuga clan. This sense of clan identity is both our advantage and our disadvantage.

I had the same idea before. If it wasn't for you, Qianyu, who scolded me and woke me up, I would have given up Neci and become your disciple. Neci would have fallen into this cycle.

Therefore, even if they knew that they could free the bird from the cage and leave Konoha to escape the persecution of the main family, they would not be willing to do so. Instead, they would regard me as an enemy.

Maybe Qianyu you will think they are ignorant, but as their head, I cannot abandon them. This is my responsibility.

I didn't want to tell Neji because I was worried that once Neji knew, he would shoulder the responsibility and become a burden to him. I wanted Neji to be free, so I didn't want him to be bound anymore."

Hinata Hizashi's answer made Chiba unable to persuade Hinata Hizashi anymore, nor could she intervene anymore.

This was Hyuga Hizashi's choice. He chose to be the head of the branch family and to die for the sake of the branch family's members.

Hyuga Neji opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no word came out.

Hyuga Hizashi rubbed Hyuga Neji's head and said, "I'm sorry, Neji, I know this is hard for you to accept, but there are some things I have to do and take responsibility for. I can't abandon them. I hope you can understand me.

And I hope that you, Neji, don't have any psychological pressure. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with you. You should study hard with your teacher and become a strong man, like your teacher, who is unrestrained and can fly freely in the sky.

This is also my dream. I hope you can fulfill this dream, Ningci. Promise me, okay?"

Hyuga Neji cried bitterly, choking with sobs and unable to speak.

Hyuga Hizashi put his hands on Hyuga Neji's shoulders and looked into his eyes seriously: "Promise me, okay? Neji!"

Hyuga Neji wiped his tears and agreed with difficulty: "I, I promise your father!"

Hinata Hizashi smiled and said to Chiba, "Then, Neji, I'll trouble you to worry about it. The best decision I have made in my life is to let Neji become your disciple."

Hinata Hizashi bowed to the snake with which Chiba shared a sense.

Chiba promised Hizashi: "I will do my best to train and take care of Neji, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Chiyu."

Chiba finally said to Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hizashi: "Ningji... I will pick you up tomorrow. From tomorrow on, you will live with me temporarily. So, goodbye Hizashi."

After saying this, Qianyu had no choice but to stop sharing senses with the snake.

...

The Hyuga elders have already sent people to the Hokage Building to inform Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After hearing that the Hyuga clan had convinced Hyuga Hizashi and were willing to replace Hyuga Hiashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately went to the Hyuga clan's territory.
