Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

Hyuga Hizashi comforts the grieving Hyuga Neji.

He knew that his choice was too cruel for Hyuga Neji.

But for the sake of his own people, Hyuga Hizashi cannot be so selfish.

Hyuga Neji asked again unwillingly: "Father, is there no other way? Must you die in place of Hyuga Hiashi? Father, can you... be a little selfish?"

Hyuga Neji doesn't want his father to die, as long as Hyuga Hiashi doesn't care about the members of the branch family.

If she is just a little selfish... Chiba will help Hyuga Hizashi free the caged bird and leave Konoha.

Hinata Hizashi shook his head helplessly: "Ningji, the clansmen of the branch family all trust me. During the war, they trusted me unconditionally. Even if there was danger, they would rush forward without hesitation. And in the war, it was thanks to them that I was able to survive the crisis again and again.

Neji, how can I be selfish? How can I abandon them?

If I choose to be selfish and leave Konoha, I will live in regret forever and repent for the rest of my life.

The members of our branch family cannot give up the Hyuga clan because this is their home. To be honest, I have always considered this to be my home and that has never changed, even though the people of the main family have been hurting us.

Because there are people with rigid thinking, including myself, I have always felt guilty for wanting to change your future. I feel that I have betrayed the Hyuga clan and that I am a sinner who has hurt the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, I want to stay with the Hyuga clan until the end, not only for the sake of the clan members of the branch family, but also because I want to be free. I am tormented in my heart, not knowing whether I will do something that will hurt you in the future. "

Hyuga Hizashi looked at Hyuga Neji with self-blame and said: "Ningji, maybe you think your father is great, but in fact...your father has always been a coward."

At this time, Hyuga Hizashi truly revealed his true feelings to Hyuga Neji.

In fact, he always wanted to keep the image of Hyuga Neji's father as a great man in his heart.

but now...

Seeing that Hyuga Neji wanted him to be selfish, Hyuga Hizashi gave up the idea and showed his true self to Hyuga Neji.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Hizashi, the Sandaime has arrived."

Hyuga Hizashi rubbed Hyuga Neji's head for the last time: "Sorry, Neji, then... goodbye."

Hyuga Hizashi took a last deep look at Hyuga Neji, as if he wanted to imprint Hyuga Neji's features in his mind.

When Hyuga Hizashi stood up and walked towards the door, Hyuga Neji's hoarse and choked voice was heard.

"Father, in my heart, you will always be the greatest father and the one I will always look up to. I promise you that I will live well, I will follow my heart and make a decision that I will never regret. I will become a strong man and fly freely in the sky."

Although Hyuga Neji's voice was hoarse and choked, his tone was more firm than ever before.

Hyuga Hizashi looked back at Hyuga Neji and smiled, "Thank you, Neji."

Hyuga Hizashi left the room, and Hyuga Neji collapsed on the ground as if he had lost his strength, looking at the direction where Hyuga Hizashi left with a dazed look.

In a dojo in the Hyuga clan's territory.

Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi, the Hyuga elders, several ninjas from the main and branch families, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, gathered in the dojo.

The Hyuga elders explained the whole story in front of everyone, and then said in a high-sounding manner: "In order to protect Konoha from war, we, the Hyuga clan, have an obligation to do so."

Hinata Hiashi understood and said immediately: "If my life can save the whole village, I am willing to make the sacrifice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen may have really felt guilty, or maybe he was just pretending to feel guilty, and he lowered his head slightly.

The Hyuga elder said at this time: "Wait, Hiashi, don't make such a hasty decision! The Hyuga family's blood limit is our Konoha Village's trump card. It is the responsibility of the main family to protect it!"

Hinata Hiashi said ashamedly: "But we who should have fulfilled our responsibilities are dragging the village into the abyss of desperate war..."

Elder Hyuga interrupted, "I know all this, so... that's why we need the branch family. We will hand over Hizashi's body as your substitute. Hizashi has agreed to all this."

Hinata Hiashi frowned, "But what those guys want is the power and secret of the Byakugan. After Hiashi's death, the power of the Byakugan was sealed. The Land of Lightning will not accept such a method!"

Elder Hyuga was very cooperative and explained: "Although they thought so too, the terms of the deal proposed by the Lightning Country are to hand over your body to them, pretend to agree to their request and then hand over Hizashi who looks almost the same as you, and those guys will have nothing to say."

In this dojo, all the members of the branch family and the main family looked at Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi in shock.

The clan members of the Zong family were surprised that the Thunder Nation was planning to get involved in their affairs.

The members of the branch family were surprised that Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch family, was going to be sacrificed instead of Hyuga Hiashi.

However, the members of the branch family were merely surprised, because in their understanding, their branch family existed to sacrifice for the main family.

Now only Hyuga Hizashi is suitable to be a substitute and sacrifice instead of Hyuga Hiashi, so it is natural for Hyuga Hizashi to sacrifice for the main family.

The Hyuga elder said in a deep voice: "The bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan has been protected in this way for generations. Even brothers have to be ruthlessly sacrificed. That is the fate of the main family and the mission of the branch family. This is also the fate of those born in the Hyuga clan."

Hyuga Hiashi and the Hyuga elders cooperated with each other, not only to show off to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also to the people of the main family and branch family, so that the members of the Hyuga clan could deeply understand the fate of the Hyuga clan.

Seeing that Hyuga Hiashi seemed to be struggling, Hyuga Hiashi chuckled and said, "What happened to the always tough Hiashi this time?"

Hinata Hiashi looked at Hinata Hizashi, watching his own brother die in his place. Although Hinata Hiashi had already known and accepted the result, he still felt heavy in his heart.

"Hizashi..."

Hinata Hiashi punched Hinata Hiashi in the abdomen and whispered in his ear: "You owe me this punch. You broke the promise we made when we were kids. If you still care about the brotherhood between us, I would like to ask you to treat the people of the branch family well. They are also relatives, not tools of the main family."

Hinata Hiashi fell to the ground and looked up at Hinata Hizashi with difficulty.

A promise made in childhood...

Deep in his memory, the scene of the young Hinata Hiashi and Hinata Hizashi, who had not yet been carved as the bird in a cage, standing side by side in the sunset appeared in Hinata Hiashi's mind.

"Brother, don't worry about me. Even if I become a branch family, I believe you will protect me!"

"Hiashi, I promise you that I will definitely change the fate of the main family and the branch family, for sure!"

"I believe in my brother, I always believe in him!"
