Tsunade, you're really drunk!

(ps: This chapter must be read together with the next chapter. It is a downbeat chapter followed by an upbeat one. It is not poisonous!)

……

After Tenten left, Hiashi and Neji led the two hundred ninjas behind them back towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

There were no villagers on the streets near the Hyuga clan's territory at this moment, and the surrounding commercial streets were all closed, with notice boards posted all around.

[Road construction in progress, please do not approach]

All that could be seen around were ninjas from the police department patrolling the area from time to time.

Only the last few roads leading to the Hyuga clan's territory have not been blocked, but this is also a place that the villagers will not set foot on.

After all, ordinary people would not set foot in a place like the ninja clan's territory.

When he returned to the gate of the clan, Ri Zu saw someone he was not expecting and could not help but exclaim.

"Uncle, why are you here so late?" Hiashi's tone was a little flustered. Even Ningji beside him and the branch family ninjas behind him felt tense at this moment.

Because the blue veins at the corners of Hinata Tengen's eyes were bulging, and his Byakugan was opened.

From the perspective of the White Eyes, hiding the forehead protector and bandages was meaningless. He stood there for a few seconds without saying a word.

In the end, Mo Mo passed by Ri Zu.

"I finally know what you have been worried about these days."

"You are the clan leader. I will not interfere with what you decide to do, but you must ensure that the Hyuuga remain the Hyuuga of Konoha."

"I won't join you, but I won't stop you either."

"The Great Elder and the others have already noticed something, so be prepared."

After saying that, he continued to move forward, and the Hyuga ninjas silently made way for the white-haired old man to pass through.

Hiashi was filled with emotion and looked back at the back of his uncle Hinata Tengen.

You are already old, why don't you just enjoy your retirement? Why are you getting involved?

Although he said that he would not get involved, he still told him important information.

Even Rizu himself didn't know that the group of elders from the clan had already noticed something was wrong and began to doubt.

But now that things have come to this, there is no retreat.

Without destruction, there is no construction. The change of Hyuga is inevitable, and no one can stop it...

Everyone stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard.

Everyone's nerves were tense, veins bulging at the corners of their eyes, and they were ready to go to war at any time.

As they have the Byakugan, they can see everything around them clearly.

On the rooftops and behind the walls, there were ninjas from the main family and other branch families lying in ambush for them, with the caged bird seal on their foreheads.

And according to the orders of the elders of the main family, the branch family ninjas who were lying in ambush were filled with surprise and shock when they saw those members who were once members of the branch family like them.

The two thoughts in my mind kept fighting and struggling.

The caged birds can be broken! Do they also have a chance to get the freedom they desire?

But on the other hand, the curse of the caged bird was still on their foreheads, and they had no choice but to obey the orders of the clan elders and ambush their compatriots.

Ambushing your friends, brothers, wives, husbands, and even children...

They couldn't bear to take action, but they didn't dare to defy the fate of the clan elders. Even though freedom was in front of them, the years of humiliation had become a habit. Time had smoothed over their inner thoughts of resistance, and they just wanted to survive...

The seven elders of the clan except Hyuga Tengen appeared in the courtyard and looked at Hiashi. The angry flames made their expressions distorted and become increasingly uglier.

"Hyuga Hiashi! You are shaking the foundation of the Hyuga clan, do you understand?!"

"When you were selecting the ninjas for the mission, I sensed something was wrong. They were all troublemakers from the branch families."

"Now it seems that it is true! You ungrateful bastard, are you doing this to destroy Hinata!?"

"As long as you surrender now, we can forgive you for what happened, but your position as clan leader has come to an end. Just be a ninja of the branch family!"

The threat in the elder's words was not concealed at all. Three hundred branch ninjas and one hundred main ninjas surrounded two hundred branch ninjas, twice the number of Hiashi's! The advantage was his!

The other elders continued to curry favor with the powerful.

"Rizu, we watched you grow up, just like our own child. We can't bear to do anything to you."

"Yes, we are all family, and so are the rest of you. We are all Hyuga ninjas, so why did we have to make such a fuss?"

"Just surrender. It will be good for you, us, and everyone else. There's nothing wrong with the caged bird curse."

"You don't want to kill each other with your friends, brothers, children, wives, and parents, do you?"

However, what these elders of the main family did not expect was that their rhetoric, which had been very effective for many years, not only failed to persuade people to surrender, but instead made Hizashi, Neji and the branch families behind them who once had the caged bird mark on their foreheads jealous.

Blood continued to seep out of his eyes, and the hatred and anger on his face became more and more intense.

Ri Zu stared at the great elder in front of him, his gums clenched so tightly that blood even oozed out and dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"Great Elder, Hizashi didn't have to die at the beginning. Don't think I don't know that it was you who proposed that idea to the Sandaime."

"Now, you still want to use such rhetoric to make me and them compromise!?"

After saying that, Hyuga Hiashi rushed directly towards the Great Elder, pulled back his right hand, gathered the chakra in the palm of his hand, compressed the air around him together, and gathered his strength. He locked his eyes on the Great Elder's heart, ready to kill him with one blow!

The wind is gathering and the wind pressure is about to tilt forward.

But the order from the Great Elder made Ri Zu stop his actions immediately.

"Are you just not going to care about Hinata and Hanabi?!"

The Great Elder's words made Ri Zu's right hand stop in front of the Great Elder's chest. The wind pressure that had been condensed dissipated at this moment like a deflated ball.

"Boom~"

At the same time, his left hand was behind his back, and with a little force, he inserted the black chakra needle hidden in his sleeve into his palm.

"you!!!"

Hiashi's red eyes and the ferocious expression of resentment on his face said it all. He had never thought that they would dare to attack Hinata. Today, he specially took Hinata and Hanabi to Qianye's house to practice with Uchiha Hikaru. Since he left the house in the morning, he put aside the last worry in his heart.

Even if he died, his two daughters would be fine.

But the Great Elder laughed wildly and unscrupulously, and with a wave of his right hand, the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder brought up Hinata and Hanabi, who were unconscious and had their hands and feet tied with ropes.

"After they both leave, I will have the two elders knock them out and make them unconscious with illusion."

As they spoke, the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder directly lifted the hair on Hinata and Hanabi's foreheads, and the mark of the "-X-" bird in a cage appeared on their foreheads.

"Don't worry. Apart from using the caged bird method on these two little girls, we didn't do anything to them. Rizu, you should think carefully before you do anything."
