Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

Chapter 32 032. The bird in the cage

My future is bleak!
In the twilight, Hyugazo's figure seemed more and more melancholy.

His bleak was almost written on his face, and he thought that the ninja school teacher was the beginning of happiness.

But I didn't expect that the future will inevitably deviate in the direction of carrying meters.

He expressed his apologies for not being able to be happy with Uchibo in the forest of death today.

Apologizing, Hyuga Zang walked quickly towards the clan land, passed the assessment, and became a preparatory Anbu. He is no longer a ninja who fishes for fish, and must always maintain his best condition to meet the tasks that may come at any time.

Unlike ordinary ninjas, Anbu is the Zero Zero Seven War Machine of Morden Human Rights.

While directly belonging to Hokage, you can get the opportunity for quick promotion in the position, as well as access to advanced ninjutsu.

Therefore, he is yearned by many ninjas and even ninjas of the ninja clan, and tries his best to join the ranks of Anbu.

But for Hyugazo, he can't practice too complicated ninjutsu, and he's not interested in other benefits of Anbu.

"Zang, go to the clan's mansion! The patriarch and elders gather all the clansmen."

As soon as he entered the clan, the Chunin within the clan appeared in front of Hyuga Zang and informed him of the news.

The clan summoned the clan?What are you going to do?
With doubts, Hyuga Zang followed Chunin and walked into the old house of the clan deep in the clan.

Many Hinata clan members had gathered in the old house for a long time, and they bowed their heads and whispered with unease on their faces.

They all have pale cyan tattoos on their foreheads, which means they are part of a separate family.

The branch family would not be close to this old house on weekdays. Only when festivals and major events happened in the clan would they be summoned by the clan to come here.

For the branch family, there is a shadow in the old house, and the imprint of the bird in the cage is completed here.

After the imprint of the caged bird is engraved, it means that they are no longer free. While being protected, the only purpose of living is to protect the clan.

The same clan is different, the clan and the branch may enjoy the same resources, but the status is completely different.

Hinata also hated this place, and it reminded him of the imprint of a caged bird that he had deliberately forgotten and ignored.

People came from all over the clan one after another, and the crowd became more and more crowded, gradually filling the spacious clan mansion.

The Hyuga with clean foreheads walked out of the old house one after another. Some of them belonged to the clan, and some were young children.

When the heirs of the clan have not yet been selected, the new generation does not need to engrave the imprint of the caged bird.

Looking up at the elder clan members, Hyuga Zang saw his uncle, the eldest clan elder.

After the members of the clan came to the scene, the young clan chief, Rizu, told the reason for the clan meeting in a deep voice.

Hyuga is not Uchiha. The clan meeting is held every three days to resolve daily disputes. Once the clan meeting is opened, a major event that affects the Hinata clan will inevitably occur.

Hyuga Hizu first implicitly expressed that Hyuga will support Minato to become the next Hokage.

There is not much objection to the Hinata clan, and the clan almost represents the decision of the Hinata clan.

Another thing seemed extremely heavy. A member of the clan and two branch guards were missing on the Wuyin battlefield before, and it is very likely that they died on the battlefield.

After a few months, one of the branch guards returned to the village today to inform Baiyan that he had been taken away. Soon after, he committed suicide in the clan.

The main family that needs protection dies, and the branch that guards it loses its meaning.

The death of a branch family is only a small matter, but the death of the clan family is a major event for the whole family.

If only the clan lost his life, the branch would face severe punishment, but if he lost his eyes, the branch could only apologize.

It wasn't just Hinata who lost the white eye, but the entire village as well.

The blood of the white eye can play an extremely important role in special occasions.

The clan will continue, and the members of the clan, represented by the head of the Sunzu clan, condemned the branch guards, and used this to warn the rest of the Hinata branch that the clan must not die before themselves.

Hyuga Zang ignored these bullshit, but his mood was infected by the rest of the family and became very depressed.

Hyuga Zang didn't know when the long-lost clan meeting would end, but when the crowd gradually dispersed, he saw the disappointment on the faces of the members of the family.

At this time, a figure walked in front of him, and Hyuga Zang looked up and saw that it was his uncle.

Hyuga Yu put his hand on Hyuga Zang's shoulder and seemed to be talking to himself:

"Zang, that branch family didn't die to protect the clan, but to protect his brother. He dragged his wrecked body back to the clan, and self-determination is to relieve the pain of the body and mind!"

Hyuga Zang nodded. He didn't know whether what Hyugao said was true or not, but being able to say it was already rare.

These words are simply challenging the order of the Hyuga family, and Hyuga is the eldest member of the clan.

After pondering for a while, Hi Xiangzo looked at Hi Xiangxiong, "Uncle, don't say these sad things, I have something even more sad to tell you..."

"..."

Hinata Yu had an expressionless face, and glanced at Hinata Zang.

Persuade yourself to stop talking, and then tell yourself something even more sad?You are very wrong.

However, he has become accustomed to Hyugazo's escape, and the sad things in the other's mouth may be a good thing?

"Uncle, I am unfortunately favored by Lord Sandaimu today, and I may enter Anbu in the future."

Hinata Zang told the sad and heavy facts, and looked at Xiang Xiong bitterly.

"This is indeed a sad thing..." Hinata Yu nodded subconsciously, and then slanted his eyes and stared at Hinata Zang,
"It's a good thing that you can be valued by Hokage-sama. It's not impossible for you to become an outstanding Junin in the future. At that time, I can rest assured and can close my eyes with peace of mind."

"That's absolutely impossible, I absolutely can't become a Jōnin, unless my caged bird disappears..."

Hyuga Zang accidentally spoke the truth, while Hyuga Yu just looked at the person in front of him, ignored the words that challenged the order, and whispered: "Maybe there will be such a day."

The topic involved caged birds, and the two gradually stopped talking. The caged bird system was the foundation of Hinata.

Even among the clans, the issue of caged birds is very taboo and will not be discussed too much.

The system of caged birds has been maintained for thousands of years, and the fact that it can be maintained for such a long time has already demonstrated the perfection of the system.

After leaving the old house of the Zong family, the two uncles and nephews returned to almost the same path.

The previous conversation may have touched areas that should not have been mentioned.

But it is undeniable that the conversation between the two dilutes the haze and estrangement after the clan meeting.

In the Hyuga family, the clan and the branch are not simply superiors and subordinates, they are more brothers, even father and son.

In such an intricate relationship network, the relationship between the clan and the branch is very ambiguous.

Hyuga Zang didn't care much about these trivial matters. After returning home to bathe, he went on to conduct experiments on natural chakra.
