If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

"Chief?! What's wrong with you? If you feel threatened, just blink! We will definitely seek justice for you!"

"Hinata Hiashi! What on earth did you do? If it weren't for the fact that our Byakugan is immune to illusions, I would have suspected that you were being controlled by someone!"

"Chief Hiashi! The caged bird has been the heritage of our Hyuga clan for many generations? You are going to abolish it just like that. Have you asked our ancestors?!"

"Hinata Hiashi, you are no longer worthy of your position. I propose to hold a clan meeting! Get this incompetent out of here!"

Hinata Hyuga looked at her father on the stage, and a deep worry flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Father..."

On the stage, Hinata Hiashi had already prepared himself mentally.

But he never expected that today he would still be despised by so many of his tribesmen.

But when he thought about what happened last night, he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Everyone! The Chunin Exam is approaching, and countless geniuses of our Hyuga clan are suffering from identity issues. They cannot be recognized by the clan, let alone the village!"

"They were trembling with fear. They were clearly more hardworking and outstanding than most of their tribesmen, but because of their status, they suffered a bad outcome!"

"Why was our Hyuga clan worse than the Uchiha clan in the past? Why are we no match for the Sarutobi clan now? We even have a powerful bloodline limit but we are not even ranked as the strongest clan in the village?"

"Everyone! We should be alert! We should unite as one!"

"We, the Hyuga clan, are a big family. We should dominate a region. We have a strong population and land, and we have countless excellent ninjas! Anyone who wants to do something should look at our face!"

"But why? Why have we become like this? In the final analysis, we have been killing each other! Harming each other!"

Hinata Hiashi gave a passionate speech, and his words filled the eyes of many people from the branch families with hope.

However, more people from the main clan looked at him in confusion and regarded him as a fool.

Is the patriarch crazy?

Why does our Hyuga family have to be so strong? The status of our main family is more important!

Without a branch family, who will serve us?

"Damn you, Hinata Hiashi! You are unworthy of your position! Get off my feet!"

"Hinata Hiashi! You betrayed the main family! You deserve to be a caged bird!"

Hinata Hiashi on the stage was stunned, then looked silently at Ningci beside him.

Everything that happened today was not what he wanted.

But if I don’t do this...I won’t be able to protect all of my...tribe members!

"Okay, let's prepare for the Chunin Exam! As a prestigious family in Konoha, I have a few requirements for the members who will directly take the exam this time..."

After the clan meeting ended, countless clan members expressed their desire to meet Hinata Hiashi in astonishment.

Several people who were labeled as caged birds last night squeezed into the house where Hinata Hiashi was, regardless of the clan leader's authority.

"Master Patriarch! Please make the decision for us!"

They just came in because they had something important to report, and it had nothing to do with the cancellation of the clan division today.

"Master Hiashi! Can you please look at what is on our foreheads?"

A man took off his forehead protector, and the caged bird mark on the back of the forehead protector appeared vividly in front of Hinata Hiashi.

Hinata Hiashi's pupils shrank.

Seeing several people being marked with the caged bird mark, his face was filled with surprise and doubt.

"You...what's going on?"

Seeing that the clan leader was interested, several people quickly spoke:

"Patriarch! Neji has marked us as caged birds!"

"Yes! Neji secretly learned the family's forbidden techniques! Clan leader! Please quickly remove the mark for us!"

"Clan leader! Neji deserves death!"

When Hinata Hiashi heard the name Neji, his body shook.

But soon he spoke seriously.

"Okay! I already know about this matter! I will investigate it thoroughly, so please don't make it public for now!"

Just as Hinata Hiashi finished speaking, a cold voice sounded.

"What do you know?"

When Ningci appeared in front of several people, they still looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Ningji?! How dare you show up here?"

"Ningji! You're done for! The clan leader is here, and you still dare to act so presumptuously!"

"Ningji, you are so stupid! We have reported it to the clan leader. Do you still want to activate the seal and kill us in public?"

"Haha, Neji, you may not know that when it comes to control, you are definitely no match for the clan leader!"

"Clan leader! Quickly release the restraint for us! Otherwise, that villain Neji will suddenly explode!"

Seeing that they had been discovered, several people simply laid their cards on the table.

There's no need to hide anything. We've been caught by clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, so let's just be straightforward.

The other party hasn't used the caged bird yet, probably because he's afraid of being discovered and punished by the clan leader?

Several people did not notice at all that at this moment, Hinata Hiashi's face had become extremely ugly.

last night...

Still in the lobby here.

"Ningji? What are you doing here?"

Hinata Hiashi was sitting at the table, holding in his hand a report that he had recently collected about many family elites in the village being assigned to carry out secret missions.

He slowly glanced at Ningci in front of him, and then continued to study the report in his hand.

Seeing that Ningci didn't say anything, Hinata Hiashi put down the report in his hand.

"Ningji, you are here again for your father's death, right? I've already said that he was willing to sacrifice for the sake of the clan. His courage is admirable. I hope you can be like him and not always have murderous intentions towards Hinata."

"The fate of the main family and the branch family is determined by heaven. Don't worry about it anymore. Just do your part."

As Hinata Hiashi spoke, he noticed that something was wrong with Ningci in front of him.

Ningci revealed a ferocious smile.

"Before I came here, I still had illusions about you as my uncle, but it seems that I was worrying too much."

"Your ideas are extremely feudal and pedantic."

"Hinata Hiashi, you said fate is determined by heaven?"

"I'm here to tell you today that your destiny is in your own hands! It's not determined by heaven! It's the fate you mentioned that caused the Hyuga clan to be restricted by Konoha and become unknown in the ninja world!"

After Ningci finished speaking, all the chakra in his body burst out, and he immediately went all out.

Hinata Hiashi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his Byakugan opened at this moment.

He instantly discovered that the opponent's chakra power was so strong that it was unbelievable. Even he, the clan leader, felt that he was invincible.

"What's going on? Who are you? You're not Neji!"

Hinata Hiashi directly urged the bird in the cage. Ningci frowned slightly, and then he completely resisted this force.

The caged bird mark on Neji's head in his body was also erased when he activated it just now.

He saw that the other party responded to the caged bird's urging, but suddenly he felt that he was disconnected from the caged bird in Neji's body.

He was horrified. Normally in this situation, the person with the mark should have died.

But the Ningci in front of him was standing right...

That...

"How is it? Have you used all your tricks? As a clan leader, you can only use the mark to control people. How pitiful..."

"Since you have nothing else to do, it's my turn next!"

After saying this, Ningci instantly appeared behind Hinata Hiashi.

"Corpse Vein·Eight Trigrams Chain!"

"Curse Seal: Bird in a Cage!"
