The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

"patriarch"

Hyuga Hiashi had just taken Hinata and the others out of the house and not far away when they stopped.

In the distance, several elders came panting, followed by their panicked families.

Many people's faces were filled with confusion and anxiety, as if something huge had happened.

"Master Patriarch, may I ask what exactly happened in the Zong family?"

"Is there an enemy invasion?"

Several members of the clan asked questions at once, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

Rizu's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the people present and found that apart from the elders and their families, there was not a single servant.

His heart tightened, and he asked directly, "Have your guards and servants disappeared as well?"

The elders nodded, with horror on their faces.

"Yeah, yeah, I woke up and found that everyone was gone. The house is like a ghost cave!"

"I got up to go to the bathroom at night and found the yard was empty!"

Several elders gave affirmative answers. This situation made Rizu feel nervous. His mood was in turmoil and he could not make a decision.

After all, the Great Elder was older and more knowledgeable. Although his body was trembling, his expression was still relatively calm.

"I've already asked my son to investigate, but he hasn't reported back yet. The situation is strange, so why don't we go and take a look together?"

The words of the Great Elder provided a direction for the confused crowd. After obtaining Rizu's consent, everyone ran towards the periphery together.

The residential area of ​​the Hyuga main family and the residential area of ​​the branch family are separated.

In order to show the dignity and majesty of the main family, their residence is located in the center of the entire Hyuga clan territory, and the residences of the branch families are located on the periphery.

Tonight, this display of majesty brought considerable trouble to the Zong family.

When Hinata Hiashi and others arrived at the open space on the edge of the main family residence, they found that the eldest elder's son Hinata Chen was sitting on the ground panting.

The Great Elder immediately exclaimed, "Chen, what's wrong with you!"

Hinata Chen looked up blankly, and after seeing everyone, he said dejectedly: "There is a barrier at the edge of the Zong family residence, and we can't get out."

"What? How is this possible? Are all the branch families outside dead? They didn't even know that the main family was under a barrier!"

The third elder exclaimed, his tone full of disbelief.

"Don't make a noise, it's already happened," Rizu's voice sounded particularly cold in the night.

Activating his chakra and opening his Byakugan, Hiashi discovered that his vision was completely unable to penetrate the barrier, and he could only see a distorted landscape.

Hinata Hiashi's heart sank, and he decided to test the power of the barrier.

"Eight Trigrams. Empty Palm"

The powerful palm wind that condensed hope rushed to the barrier, and the next second it was like hitting a solid wall and collapsed directly.

Hinata Hiashi was unwilling to give up. He took a step closer and attacked with all his strength against the barrier again. However, the barrier remained motionless. Instead, the rebounding force made his palm ache slightly.

The strength of the barrier made everyone present look at each other in shock.

"We can't just wait here. Everyone, join forces. Count one, two, three and attack together!"

The Great Elder was experienced after all, and he was the first to react and called on everyone to work together.

Under the command of the Great Elder and Rizu, everyone calmed down, came to the front of the barrier together, took up their positions and began to attack.

The five branches of the main family plus the Hiashi family have a total of less than 40 people. The population is sparse and extremely thin, and only about half of them are capable ninjas.

Several elders have been living a life of luxury for many years. Although they still practice soft boxing, their fighting ability is completely lacking.

A group of people attacked with all their might. Even Hinata and Hanabi went up to hit them a few times. However, after all the bombardment, the barrier didn't change at all. Instead, everyone was almost exhausted.

At this point, everyone had to stop and, regardless of the noble image of the clan, simply sat down and rested.

An atmosphere of despair began to spread in the field, and everyone's thoughts began to diverge.

"Could it be that Konoha is preparing to attack the Hyuga clan?"

Hyuga Sohei is the most timid. The scene he saw on the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination has made him sleep restlessly for some time. He is always worried that the Hyuga family will follow in the footsteps of the Uchiha clan.

"The Hyuga clan is a thousand-year-old prestigious family. How dare they!"

"They even wiped out the Uchiha clan. How much stronger are the Hyuga clan than the Uchiha clan?"

The second and third elders were greatly shocked by Hyuga Sohei's speculation, and could not help but start a discussion along his lines.

Seeing their panic, Hiashi frowned and interrupted, "It can't be them. The Uchiha clan has only been destroyed for a short time, and the village is already very unstable.

If something happens to the Hyuga clan again, their position will be unstable. Moreover, the Hyuga clan is indifferent to fame and fortune, so there is no conflict between them!"

"Who set up the barrier, and where did the people from the branch family go?"

After listening to Rizu's words, the fifth elder felt that there was some truth in them, but the doubts in his heart could not be relieved.

The Great Elder had been listening to everyone's discussion until he slowly spoke: "If it weren't for the Konoha high-level officials, this matter would feel more like a rebellion by the branch family!"

"They dare. With a caged bird here, anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"

When they heard that it might be the branch family that they usually obeyed that was causing trouble, several elders suddenly felt that they were in power again, and they all spoke in a stern voice.

The Fifth Elder was a rather impatient person. When he saw Hinata Xia, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he scolded, "Why did all the other branches disappear, and only you stayed? Are you their spy?"

"I, I don't know anything." Facing the elder's fierce gaze, Hinata Xia was so scared that she almost cried.

"I don't think you'll surrender unless I give you some strength!"

The fourth elder, Hyuga Sohei, did not believe Hyuga Xia's explanation at all and directly activated the caged bird seal.

"what!"

The excruciating pain made Hinata Xia kneel down and wail. She kept scratching her head with both hands to try to relieve the pain, and her nose and tears started to run instantly.

Hinata Munebe continued to press as if he couldn't hear the screams, "Tell me, where did everyone else go?"

In the midst of Hinata Xia's wailing, Hinata Sohei seemed to have gained infinite courage, and he activated the caged bird seal even more forcefully.

In this situation, Hinata Xia, who knew nothing at all, couldn't utter any complete sentences. She could only cry and wail, and even banged her head against the ground to try to relieve the pain.

In the face of this interrogation scene, the other main families of Hyuga Hiashi chose to watch coldly. In their eyes, it was normal for the branch family to be treated like this, not to mention that Hyuga Xia was indeed very suspicious.

Moreover, even if she was innocent, what did it matter? Does the main family need a reason to punish a branch family?

In the crowd, Hua Huo clenched her small fists and remained silent.

Hinata Hyuga huddled beside Hiashi, looking back and forth between Hiashi Hyuga and Natsu Hyuga with worried and fearful eyes.

"The main family is so used to being so high and mighty that they never forget to bully the branch families!"

When Hinata Xia was almost collapsed and on the verge of death, an angry voice was heard, and at the same time a strong wind pressure visible to the naked eye flew from the sky and knocked Hinata Sobei away.
