In the blink of an eye, nearly two weeks passed.

Akashi took Sasuke to practice hard. At the same time, the shadow clone watched Yunyuo's actions closely. On the surface, everything was normal.

As the negotiations progressed, all terms were finalized one by one.

In the end, Konoha and Kumogakure each took a step back and reached a compromise. The Anbu's surveillance on Kumogakure gradually relaxed, and everyone's concerns finally came to an end.

On the day the armistice agreement was signed, a large celebration was held in the village.

Both ninjas and civilians are sincerely happy, this means that the foreign war has entered the final stage and peace is coming!

War is always accompanied by the separation of wives and children. Who wouldn't be happy to be able to get rid of the shadow as soon as possible?

The village became more and more lively.

Under the call, all the ninjas in the village took a day off to participate in grand ceremonies and gatherings, and the joyful atmosphere flooded the streets and alleys.

Almost everyone was talking about current events and had smiles on their faces.

Inside the Hyuga Clan, everything was dull.

Today is a big day.

The Hyuga clan did not participate in the lively celebration of the whole village. They wanted to celebrate another thing, Miss Hinata's third birthday.

Everyone's faces were expressionless, and they stood neatly in front of the Zong family's huge mansion, their pale eyes maintaining a numb calmness.

Standing at the front is Hinata Hizashi.

As the clan leader's younger brother, he naturally became the representative of the branch family. He held a child, the only son Hyuga Neji, in his broad palm.

His elder brother Hinata Hinashi stood on the steps, half a height taller than everyone else.

A timid girl next to her dodges her eyes, grabs Rizu's trouser leg, hides half of her face, and secretly looks at the elder in front of her and the children around her age who are about the same age as him.

Are you here to play with me?she couldn't help but think.

However, her father's serious and indifferent expression dispelled her fantasy.

After standing quietly for a long time, Hinata Hizashi finally spoke: "The family has achieved today's glory thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone. I am here to thank everyone for their efforts."

"Thank you for your hard work, Patriarch."

Hizashi took the lead in bowing, and everyone responded in unison.

Hizu continued: "Hinata is already three years old, and the purpose of calling everyone here today is very clear. I hope you will be ready. This is for the continuation of the family."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Hizashi.

As a brother, Hizashi understood the meaning. He looked at Neji with a complicated expression and let go of his hand: "Ningji, go ahead."

"Father, what do you mean?"

Neji obviously didn't know about the caged bird, and the children around him were also confused. Parents wanted to give their ignorant children a good childhood, so how could they tell them such a cruel thing.

Hizashi stroked Neji's head: "It's just a simple ceremony to prove that you are the man of the Hyuga family."

Neji snorted: "Is this what everyone has to do?"

"Well, everyone wants it."

"Do you want Ms. Hinata? Is she the first?"

"..." Hizashi turned his head and took a deep breath, "You'll know when you go there."

Neji nodded. He didn't know what was about to happen, so he followed the clan into the inner hall, followed by the other branch families.

Rizu carried his body on his back and paused slightly.

Seemingly aware of his younger brother's unwilling look behind him, he turned half of his face and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't waste Neji's talent."

Wouldn't Neji's talent be wasted?

Hinata Hizashi scoffed.

The ceremony didn't take long. Neji had already walked out with a white cloth wrapped around his forehead and his long hair shawl.

Neji walked towards the edge and saw Hinata looking at the flowers quietly, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

Is this my sister?

Although he had always known that he had a cousin, he had never seen her before. Today he was able to see her true appearance. Her pink face and innocent appearance were so cute!

Neji's cheeks were slightly red.

A strong desire for protection arose in my heart.

Naturally, it is not a love between men and women, but a brother's love for his sister.

Hinata spoke shyly in a low voice, knowing that Neji in front of her was the child of her uncle Hizashi, who had been mentioned by her elders.

Not long after the two met, the clan leader's order came.

Not only Hinata, but Ningci was also invited to go to the Zong family's training room to accompany Miss Hinata to practice.

Hinata is the heir to the clan family and has unique conditions. Almost the entire family's resources are at his service, including the children of the separated family.

Neji was "honored" to become a sparring partner.

When I came to the practice room, I saw both fathers there.

Neji greeted politely, and then obediently sat down next to his father.

This is the rule of the Hyuga clan.

Honor and order.

The patriarch of the clan, Hinata Hiashi, sat in the center and front position.

The day difference will have to wait a little longer.

The rest of the people were not even qualified to observe.

Seeing the children gathered together, Hizu said loudly: "Hinata, today is your third birthday, but you still can't relax in your training. I have chosen a very good opponent for you, Neji."

"Yes."

Hearing the clan leader's call, Neji stood up immediately.

Hizu nodded: "It's up to you to teach Hinata."

Neji suddenly received the news and was a little shocked, subconsciously looking at his father.

Hizashi smiled disdainfully in his heart, is this the so-called not wasting talent?

Are you going to accompany the eldest lady to practice... Haha.

Looking at the white cloth wrapped on Neji's forehead, Hizashi hesitated and turned away with complicated eyes: "Go ahead and be careful."

After receiving his father's permission, Neji gained some courage: "Yes!"

In the training room, the sound of fighting immediately sounded.

The basic soft fists were waved back and forth, and the two small children were fighting in a decent manner, with a slight sweat on their pink faces.

Rizu, who was sitting upright, gave strict instructions and scolded him constantly.

"Where are your eyes looking?"

"The steps are too chaotic. I fall down without the enemy attacking me!"

"Neji, try harder, why are you hesitating!"

The constant urging and instructions made the children in the field nervous and stressed.

Neji looked at the cute and shy Hinata and couldn't bear to do anything harsh, and felt very sorry for this delicate sister.

It is too much to take on the important responsibility of the family at the age of three.

He's three years old... well, he seems to be training harder.

However, they are different!

When he marked the caged bird, he learned that it was the mark of the separation family and represented his identity.

The white strip of cloth on his forehead reminded him that the branch was created to protect the clan. His father once said, "You must protect Miss Hinata."

He took it to heart.

Although I find it a bit ugly to carve a caged bird, I don't have much objection to it.

He was happy to protect Hinata.

The simple Neji didn't know the role of the caged bird. With a few words from his elders, he shaped what he thought was his personal belief and mission.

Being immersed in his own thoughts, Neji actually became a little distracted.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hinata seized the opportunity and slapped her chest with a palm.

At the critical moment, Neji blocked and counterattacked almost out of instinct, knocking Hinata to the ground violently!

Boom!

Hinata fell on her butt.

Hizu and Hizashi stood up at the same time, their eyes full of surprise and concern.
