Uchiha's Onmyoji

Chapter 245 Father’s Questioning

Late at night, the main house of the Hyuga clan in Konoha Village.

Hanabi held a lantern and walked down the dim stone steps step by step.

Only Hinata followed her step by step.

"Hanabi." Hinata's faint voice sounded in the silent underground passage, "Are you ready? Meet your father."

"Don't worry, sister." Hanabi didn't look back, "I won't back down."

"Hanabi." Hinata took a deep breath and the expression on her face became determined. "I have made a decision. No matter what you want to do, I will always stand by your side and support you."

"I know." Hanabi laughed to herself.

Sure enough, my sister is always so gentle, because gentleness can also become powerful.

The orange light of the lantern slowly advanced through the dark passage, and the two of them soon reached a closed door.

"Master Hanabi."

The two Hyuga clan members guarding the door immediately bent down and bowed.

"We want to see Father."

Hanabi took a step forward and directly gave instructions.

"This……"

The long-haired young man standing on the left hesitated, and turned to look at the middle-aged ninja standing on the other side inquiringly.

The short-haired middle-aged ninja looked down and looked directly into Hanabi's eyes.

"We want to meet Father."

The smile on Hanabi's face didn't change.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the middle-aged ninja finally lowered his head.

"Yes, Hanabi-sama."

He turned around and ordered the long-haired young man: "Open the door and let Hanabi-sama and Hinata-sama in."

"Yes."

The long-haired young man took out the key, unlocked the iron door, and pushed the door open.

"Please." He took a step forward, "Hanabi-sama, Miss Hinata."

"Thank you."

Hanabi nodded, holding a lantern in one hand and holding Hinata in the other, and walked into the dark secret room.

After the two of them entered, the long-haired young man pulled the door to the secret room and locked it again.

"Uncle Shun." He said uneasily, "Is this okay?"

"No problem." Hinata Shun affirmed, "Hanabi-sama and Miss Hinata do not have the ability to rescue Hizu-sama."

"And..." His eyes flickered and he became firm, "Since Tokuma and the others choose to believe in Hanabi-sama, then we must also believe in her."

"Yes, I understand, Uncle Shun."

The long-haired young man retreated to the other side of the door and stood up again.

In the dark secret room, only a few candles standing on stands in the corners were burning quietly.

Hanabi walked into the secret room with a lantern, and the dark room became a little brighter.

The conditions of the secret room were not bad. Rizu, who had his chakra sealed, was sitting upright on the soft cushion with his eyes closed. There was also a tea set on the low table in front of him.

"Father."

Hanabi let go of Hinata's hand and they both bowed.

"You are here."

Rizu opened his eyes, his eyes and tone were calm, and he looked at his two daughters quietly.

"Yes."

Hanabi and Hinata looked at him with surprise on their faces.

"Are you wondering why my father wasn't angry when he saw you?"

Rizu even smiled a little freely.

"Father."

Hanabi walked up to Nizu with a lantern, placed the lantern on the low table, knelt down in front of Nizu, raised her head and looked at him curiously.

"Does Father know?"

"I know everything. Tokuma and the others didn't hide it from me." Hizu looked at his little daughter with complicated eyes, "It's just that I didn't expect you to come forward, Hanabi."

"Does Father also agree with what I am doing?"

Hanabi smiled sweetly, with an innocent yet cunning expression.

"You are my daughter."

Rizu seemed to have shed his cold and hard shell, and his expression became softer.

"As a father, I enjoy seeing my children grow."

A happier smile appeared on Hanabi's face, but Hiashi suddenly became serious again.

"It's just..." The softness just now seemed to be fleeting. Hizu looked at his young daughter with oppressive eyes, "What is your identity in seeing me, Hanabi."

He looked at Hanabi condescendingly: "Is it my daughter Hinata Hanabi, Hyuga Hizashi, or the future leader of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hanabi?"

The smile on Hanabi's face slowly faded, and she stared blankly into Hiashi's eyes.

"Father, Hanabi..." Hinata, standing behind Hanabi, couldn't help but speak to break the heavy atmosphere.

"To shut up."

Hizu glanced at her gently.

Hinata was stabbed by Hizu's cold gaze, and her words immediately stopped.

Her face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly.

no... no...

I have already promised that I will always stand by Hanabi's side to protect her.

She looked at Hanabi's stiff back from the corner of her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and spoke again with a trembling voice: "Father, I think Hanabi has done a good job, and I will always stand by her side to protect her. of."

"Oh?"

Hizu looked at Hinata again with some surprise.

The father and daughter's eyes met. Although Hinata's body was trembling a little, her eyes never flinched.

"It seems that you have grown up too, Hinata."

Hiashi looked away, without making any further comments, but looked at Hanabi again.

Hinata suddenly spoke up and Hanabi had come to her senses.

"Father," she said with a serious look on her little face, "I come to see you as the next head of the Hyuga clan."

"In this case, the following conversation has nothing to do with our identity as father and daughter." Hizu's eyes and tone were stern: "Hyuga Hanabi!"

"Yes."

Hanabi raised her head, her eyes unflinching.

"As the next clan leader, you have chosen to end the thousands of years of tradition of the Hyuga clan and let the caged bird disappear completely, right?" Hizu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Hanabi's face was sullen and she responded without any hesitation.

"Then have you ever thought about how the Hyuga clan will survive without the protection of the caged bird."

He questioned further.

"In the ninja world, there is no one who does not covet the power of the Byakugan, not to mention the example of Kirigakure successfully transplanting the Byakugan. After losing the caged bird, the ninjas of the Hyuga clan will inevitably face countless targeted hunts outside. What will you do? To ensure that the Hyuga clan can be passed down smoothly?"

"I have no idea!"

Hanabi said confidently.

"Of course you don't know." Rizu said as if frustrated, "Because even I don't know."

"Father."

Hanabi stretched out her small hand to hold Hizu's somewhat cold big hand.

Hiashi didn't move, letting Hanabi hold his hand. In front of his two daughters, he showed a somewhat hesitant expression for the first time.

"It's precisely because I don't know how to preserve the clan after losing the caged bird." He lowered his eyes, "That's why I insist on not wanting to change."

He raised his head again, his eyes seeming to travel through the void: "Even if my dearest brother died for this, I have persisted. This is the responsibility that we must bear as a clan member."

"Father." Hanabi held Hizu's hand tightly and looked at him with burning eyes, "Although I don't know exactly how to do it yet, but..."

"But I think I will do it. Whether it is being coveted or being hunted, in the final analysis, it is just because I am not strong enough." She blinked, "Then let the Hyuga clan become completely powerful, so powerful that it can defeat everyone. Afraid to face all this!"
