Konoha: I was living a peaceful life and let the system stab me in the back

Only then did Qiufeng remember that he had drawn a tube of Wu's blood, which could activate the puppet.

But I’m really tired today, so I’ll leave it until tomorrow.

Early the next morning, I was still woken up by the system, perhaps because the Five Shadows meeting had not officially ended yet.

The rewards from the system have not yet arrived.

But there's no rush to get the wind, it's already a done deal anyway.

Moreover, the Kages will not be able to stay in Konoha for more than a few days. They should leave for the village today or tomorrow.

As the top leader of a village, the operation of many things requires Ying's permission. When they return, they will find mountains of documents piled up on their desks.

However, old men like Tsuchikage and Mizukage have begun to gradually delegate their authority and let the successors they train to try to handle the files.

It's a bit of a break.

Because there were outsiders in the village today, there was no practice, so it was considered a day off.

Qiu Feng hadn't figured out how to spend his rare vacation yet, but since there was nothing interesting at home, he just wandered around the village.

Maybe it was because of the meeting, but there were quite a lot of people on the streets in the early morning these days, almost double the usual number.

Perhaps because I wanted to see what people from other villages were like, I got up early and stayed there.

People greeted Qiu Feng one after another when they saw him. The news that Qiu Feng won the competition yesterday quickly spread in the village.

As a disciple of Lord Hokage, the villagers are very concerned about Feng Feng, but most of the villagers are not ninjas.

We can only know the strength of Fengfeng from rumors, but this time it really made people in the village know how strong Fengfeng is.

Qiu Feng won the competition, and Qiu Feng was always gentle with others and very humble himself, which made his reputation among the villagers even better. Everyone liked Qiu Feng very much.

Seeing how enthusiastic the villagers were, Qiu Feng didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only return the favor one by one.

I met several ninjas who had performed missions together, and I talked with him for a long time before letting him go.

In short, Feng Feng now feels that being too famous is not a good thing.

It took almost half an hour just to say hello, and almost an hour to walk along the short street.

We finally reached a place with relatively few people, and Fengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he met a familiar person, Hinata Nozhen, followed by a man who looked very similar to him.

But Qiu Feng saw that the man seemed to be deliberately half a step behind Xizhen, and his expression was a bit humble.

Qiufeng had roughly guessed what was going on, and after thinking about it, he went forward.

When I saw Xizhen, I wanted to have a chat to enhance our relationship. After all, Qiu Feng was still thinking about Bai Yan.

"Morning, Hee Jin."

Fengfeng was the first to say hello.

Xizhen discovered Qiu Feng after hearing the sound, and a smile immediately appeared on his still somewhat bored face.

"It's Fengfeng who went out so early? It seems that yesterday's battle was easy."

Heejin said half-jokingly.

"No, no, I just rested better. Speaking of which, who is this?"

Tiao Feng smiled and then asked again.

Xizhen turned her head and looked at the man beside her. The man had his head lowered from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Xizhen couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this is my brother Xihui."

Then he said to Xihui: "This is Lord Hokage's apprentice, the leader of the Yunzhong clan."

Xihui slowly raised his head and nodded to Tiefeng: "Hello, I am Hinata Xihui, please take care of me."

Qiu Feng waved his hand: "Don't be too harsh, just call me Qiu Feng. I'm much younger than you."

Seeing what Tiaofeng said, some smiles returned to Xizhen's face, while Xihui continued to lower his head after responding.

He didn't participate in the conversation between the two of them, and just stood aside quietly, like a servant.

Tofeng naturally knows why Xihui is like this. The caged bird of the Hyuga clan is really a ninjutsu that harms people.

A good pair of brothers must act like a master and a servant now.

Just to protect the so-called Zong family's supercilious look.

Xizhen felt very painful when he saw Xihui's appearance, but there was nothing he could do. All this was decided by his father and elders.

As the young head of the family, he just has a name. He has no power and cannot change everything.

I can only watch helplessly as my brother is carved into a caged bird.

Since he was five years old, he has never seen his brother smile again.

"Xi Hui, you should go home first. Tifeng and I were just in the mood to chat."

Upon hearing this, Xi Hui bowed respectfully: "Yes, Lord Xizhen."

Then he backed away a few meters, turned around and left.

Seeing his brother's appearance, Xizhen felt like a knife was cutting into his heart.

It's no wonder that Tifeng had a bored expression on his face when he first saw him.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Xizhen said bitterly.

Qiufeng shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I know how you are feeling, Xizhen, and I also sympathize with Xihui's experience."

The matter of caged birds is not a particularly secretive thing in Konoha Village. On the contrary, the Hyuga clan is still proud of it.

It is believed that this mode can perfectly protect the Byakugan from being taken away by outsiders.

But they did not expect that in the long run, the Hyuga clan would only become more and more declining.

On the other hand, the Uchiha clan did not develop any ninjutsu such as caged birds because of the power of the Sharingan.

If someone's eyes were gouged out, they would try to take them back.

Qiu Feng also had a hunch that if the Hyuga clan continued like this, there would be problems within a few generations.

"Hey, sometimes I really hate myself. If I hadn't been so incompetent, how could I have let Xihui suffer like this..."

"Then you haven't thought about fighting?"

Hearing Qiao Feng's words, Xizhen slowly raised his head.

"Resist, how to fight? Even if I succeed as the head of the family, there will still be elders restricting my behavior. It is unrealistic to fight."

From Xizhen's words, Qiufeng heard a sense of decadence. This huge pressure seemed to have gradually crushed the man in front of him.

Even the clan leader cannot bypass the elders and issue orders directly. Sometimes the clan leader is not even as powerful as the elders.

This is the cancer that has formed the development of the Hyuga clan to this day!

Each generation of elders enjoys the care of the branch family, and everything is executed by the branch family.

They only need to lie in bed and enjoy the glory and wealth. How could they give up such a life?

The lives of the branch family members are worthless in their eyes, and they are driven around like slaves.

Hashirama also wanted to ask the Hyuga clan to change this clan rule, but Hinata refused because it was the family's own business.
