Naruto: My and Obito's mutual redemption

Since I promised Ji Qing to help him find a solution, and I also reluctantly accepted the "gift" he sent, I have to take action...

Yuyan felt a little helpless. After he and Tuzi finally cleaned up the mess at home, they began to think about countermeasures to this matter.

"Tsuchiko, how do you think we can help Saisei? It feels like it's not appropriate to intervene from any point." Yu Yan squatted in the corridor and said to Obito who was still busy sorting out debris outside the courtyard.

Obito put down the garbage bag in his hand and scratched his cheek in confusion...

"I don't know either... I always feel that although the family tradition of the Hyuga family is a bit... cowardly, this is also their own family affair..."

After saying that, Obito continued to act like a rubbish collector, and at the same time he was daydreaming. After all...if someone pointed fingers at the Uchiha's actions, he would definitely be unhappy.

"Well... nevermind, I'll go look for Minato-sensei, you'll be hungry later... nevermind, you come with me!"

Yuyan smiled apologetically at Obito, then spread his palms upwards...

Huh...huh...

A breeze began to gather around Yu Yan, and soon all the garbage in the yard was gathered into a pile...

Obito was stunned when he saw Yuyan's actions.

It turns out that I have been doing useless work just now...

"Ahahaha, sorry Tsuchiko~ I didn't think just now..."

Yu Yan explained awkwardly that he really didn't remember it.

This move controls the attributes of wind...or is closer to the concept of "wind" itself. Yu Yan doesn't use it very often.

Probably because he usually prefers to be a wood escape user, so he has never studied this magical ability that he developed accidentally...

Seeing Obito's resentful look, Yuyan quickly ran over to clean up all the garbage, then pulled Obito towards the door.

Since he had to think of a solution, Yu Yan decided to ask Mr. Minato first to see if he had any different opinions...

However, before the two boys walked far out of the house, they saw a figure walking towards them.

Yu Yan's eyelids jumped. This person...

The man was tall and strong, and looked about the same age as Minato, or maybe a little older... and he had long straight black hair draped behind him, and the conspicuous pure white in his eye sockets...

Before Yuyan could speak, the other party took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Yuyan and Obito, I am Hinata Hiashi, and I am on my way to visit you."

"??"

Obito was puzzled. Was this person the current head of the Hyuga family? Could it be that Yu had just agreed to Jiqing's "request" and then someone came to hold him accountable?

Seeing Obito's confused face, Hinata Hiashi paused and immediately explained: "Don't be nervous, and don't misunderstand... I'm not here to blame you for your hasty decision. On the contrary, I should be the one who is nervous..."

"Uh... Mr. Hyuga, since you are visiting in person, then of course we will welcome you..."

Yu Yan said stiff polite words, a little at a loss. But anyway... the other party came to the door, so I should listen to what she said first...

So ten minutes later, the two of them brought Hinata Hiashi back home and drank the freshly brewed hot tea in silence.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and no one spoke the first word. After all, Yu Yan felt a little guilty. Was he meddling in other people's family affairs? Was he being too nosy? After all, the Hyuga clan was a famous family in Konoha. Was he being a little...

"Ahem...Yuyan-kun, I'll just get straight to the point, please forgive me." Rizu finally drank the last sip of tea in the cup, then hesitantly spoke slowly...

Although Yu Yan didn't know what point the Hyuga family head wanted to express, he decided to listen first.

Nodding slightly, Yuyan put down the teacup and looked directly at Hinata Hiashi...

"Master, please feel free to speak. Yu Yan will definitely listen carefully..."

Hinata Hiashi just felt uncomfortable all over. The boy in front of him spoke without any loopholes. From the beginning until now, it seemed that he was the only one who was nervous.

But Yu Yan didn’t really think so. He just felt a little embarrassed.

Obito was almost asleep beside him. He didn't know how Yuyan could stay focused in the face of that stern face and tone...

Hiashi hesitated for a while, then slowly said, "As for the arrangement for Hinata Saisei, the clan has arranged to have him cursed with the 'bird in a cage' seal... But don't worry, let me explain the origin of this decision..."

Yu Yan remained silent, without any expression, and did not speak a word. He just listened quietly.

"It's like this... The Hyuga clan has had this custom since ancient times. This... was also passed down from the ancestor of the family, Hyuga Tennin. In order to consolidate the family and maintain internal stability, they distinguished between the main family and the branch family..."

Hiashi kept explaining, and Yuyan felt a little overwhelmed. It seemed that Hiashi could spend the whole day here talking about the glorious history of the Hyuga clan.

It’s not that he has no patience, it’s just that he knows these things better than Rizu himself.

"Ahem, Lord Rizu, I know all this history very well, and I understand your family's thoughts, but your question now is, after Ji Qing was cursed with the 'Bird in a Cage' seal, what will be the impact on the branch family?"

Yu Yan finished talking to Rizu who was about to introduce the history in just a few words. Rizu just touched his nose awkwardly, thinking that he had taken it for granted...

Indeed, compared to family history... Even if the Hyuga family has a very glorious past, it seems unnecessary to talk about family history in front of these two boys...

Rizu figured this out and simply omitted the long speech.

This is a bad habit of mine... Although I always say I want to explain things in a straightforward and simple way, I always accidentally...

"That's right. Because of the war, the situation was complicated. We didn't hold this tradition in the first two sessions... Anyway, now we want to restart this custom, but we have encountered resistance from many branch families. If the descendants of the Tennin can take the initiative..."

When Rizu said this, his meaning was very clear.

Yu Yan now understood. In short, now that the family succession ceremony has been over for so long, the main family and the branch family must be distinguished. In other words, the Ji Qing who failed to become the patriarch must take the lead in accepting the "caged bird" curse, so that the family can be stable...

Yu Yan was in a dilemma. It didn't make sense for the other party to come to him to discuss such family matters. Coming to him was giving him enough face. He could even do that to his own brother, let alone a Hyuga Saisei?

Even if Ji Qing once had a very powerful ancestor, so what? Ji Qing's own strength and talent were not very impressive in the clan, which gave him no reason to reject the "customs" that the family had always passed down.

Obito was a little dazed, as he had fallen asleep just now. However, when he heard some nonsense about sacrificing some part of the family for the stability of the family, he woke up completely.

"Oh, if it's your opinion, you should just stop doing the 'bird in a cage' thing, right? Let your people go, and let yourself go."

Obito looked a little absent-minded, as if it had nothing to do with him, but a trace of deep regret flashed in his eyes...

Hiashi was a little choked by Obito's words. He wanted to let his clan members go, but this was the family's custom, and the elders would not agree...

Seeing Hiashi's hesitation, Obito said with some disdain, "Are you going to say some nonsense like 'the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed' again? Why don't you let old man Hyuga Tennin come back to life and see if he is willing to carve the curse seal on his own descendants?"

Yuyan felt that Tsuchiko was in a bad mood, and quickly advised: "Uh... Tsuchiko, don't be like this, Master Rizu didn't..."

"There's nothing we can do? It's not that we can't do it, but we've become accustomed to being conservative. Uchiha and Hyuga are both families that specialize in eye techniques. We all have a special feeling for eyes..."

Obito looked a little sad. These were obviously his own eyes, the source of his power, but because of some rules, he had to take the initiative to curse them and deliberately destroy the power of his eyes... This was simply "saving the country by taking a roundabout way" to the extreme.

Yu Yan had no way to refute it, after all, he actually shared the same opinion in his heart.

Although the rules set by Hyuga Tennin may be useful, times are constantly changing, and blindly following is not the solution to the problem.

Rizu was silent for a while, with a look of struggle on his face.

He loves his brother very much, but even as the patriarch, he has many things that he cannot control...
