c219 Little Hinata: I’m just a crybaby

Compared to this group of seemingly angry elders of the main family, the hearts of the branch family members are actually not calm.

Hyuga Hanabi, the youngest daughter of the clan leader.

Although she is not as important as Miss Hinata in their hearts, Hanabi is at least the next generation of the clan leader.

Now they are attacked by a mysterious enemy, and the enemy also has the Byakugan, and has not planted the Byakugan of a bird in a cage.

This news can be said to have instantly detonated the entire Hyuga clan.

“Clan leader, Neji is also affected this time, please tell me the identity of the enemy!”

In the clan leader’s mansion, Hyuga Hizashi knelt in front of Hiashi and asked solemnly.

But Hiashi just looked at him meaningfully, then raised his teacup and sipped the tea calmly.

It was as if this invasion incident was not worth caring about in his eyes.

This also made Hyuga Hizashi’s eyes twitch.

The enemy’s main target this time is not Neji.

Obviously, your own daughter, the next generation clan leader, was almost killed, why are you still sitting still now? !

“Hizashi, this matter is complicated, so don’t get involved.”

Hiashi put down the teacup and said calmly: “I will tell you what I can tell you, but there are some things that I don’t want to say, but I can’t say them as the head of the Hyuga clan.”

Hearing this, Hizashi gritted his teeth.

This sentence again, I’m really fed up.

“Is it because I am a branch family that you don’t want to tell me?” Hizashi asked a little out of control.

Snap! !

“Hyuga Hizashi, don’t think I know nothing about the little tricks you do in secret!”

Putting the teacup heavily on the table, Hiashi’s tone suddenly sank and said: “Now Hinata has also become a branch family. I don’t want her to be affected by the caged bird, so I turned a blind eye to your little tricks.”

“If it weren’t for this, do you think you can still live until now?”

“I… I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Hizashi’s face was stern, he opened his mouth to defend himself, and then fell into silence.

Hiashi actually knew something about what they were doing secretly.

So, how much did he know about it?

Would it be a rift if he said it now?

“No matter what you say, I have to remind you that many things in the world are not black and white, and the ‘bird in a cage’ is like that.”

Hiashi whispered meaningfully: “Maybe for some people, it is a shackle and a cage, but for some people, isn’t it protection?”

“While controlling the members of the branch family, it also protects the inheritance of the Hyuga clan and prevents the elderly, weak women and children from becoming the target of others’ Byakugan.”

After saying that, Hiashi looked at his younger brother with a strange look.

It happened to meet Hiashi’s eyes full of surprise.

“Clan… Brother.”

Hizashi said in disbelief: “You mean…”

“I don’t mean anything special.”

Hiashi raised his hand and interrupted: “I just don’t want it to happen again. If you understand, then leave.”

Hearing this, Hiashi paused, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

“Brother, I will control the branch family.”

After saying this, after respectfully saluting Hiashi, Hiashi turned and left.

After Hiashi walked away.

Hizashi, who was sitting quietly, sighed silently.

How could he not know about Hiashi’s little thoughts.

The appearance of the Byakugan without the “bird in the cage” and even possessing such a powerful power was unexpected by everyone in the main family, and even made the branch family members have other ideas.

Although it is still unknown how the intruder got the unrestricted Byakugan, judging from the blind child and the eyes he tried to dig out of Hanabi…

The eyes of children are almost the same size as those of adults.

That bold idea, like a nail, was driven into the heart of the branch family, causing people’s hearts to fluctuate.

Hiashi sighed in his heart: “If it were in the past, I would probably punish Hizashi with a curse seal.”

The two of them were born as twins.

Hiashi knew that he was born a few seconds earlier because of luck and became a member of the main family.

There is only one person in each generation of the main family, and Hizashi, as the younger brother, is destined to be branded as a bird in a cage and become a branch family member whose life and death is controlled by the main family.

This is not fair at all.

But, so what?

This matter has never been changed by one person, and it has never even been controlled by the Hyuga clan.

But…

Just like what Hinata just said to him.

“A slap is often the most deterrent only when it is raised. If it is really hit, there will only be pain and hatred.”

I didn’t expect that as a father, I am not as clear as a little girl.

“I just hope that damn girl won’t make it too hard for me.”

Hiashi shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Now that I think about it, when I saw that Hiashi was planted with the caged bird, I also made up my mind not to use the curse seal on Hiashi.”

But I didn’t expect that as I got older, this original intention was gradually forgotten in the corner, and the relationship between them brothers was also drifting away.

At this moment, Hiashi suddenly raised his head and looked at the door.

Swish!

“Master Patriarch.”

A figure came to the door and said in a respectful tone: “In an hour, the elders will hold a family meeting in the conference room. This time there will be two consultants attending. Please go and preside over the overall situation.”

Why do the Hyuga Clan Association have two advisors participating in it?

And he did this on his own without seeking my answer. It seems that the old guys are also dissatisfied with me.

Rizu in the room frowned, and after a moment of silence, he responded: “I understand.”

The figure outside the door bowed and then disappeared.

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, a sneer came out.

………………

“Where have you been, Hinata-sama?”

A male separation ninja wearing a forehead protector suddenly appeared and stood in front of Hinata, blocking her way back to the mansion.

Hinata was thinking about something, but her thoughts were interrupted.

“Huh? Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Tokuma.”

Hinata’s expression was startled at first, then she quickly reacted and said with a gentle smile: “What can I do for you?”

Her manner was polite and her etiquette was impeccable.

Although not too close, there is no distance either.

But it was precisely because of this feeling of ambiguity and uncertainty that Hinata Tokuma felt that this girl’s sense of disobedience was even stronger.

After all, he was the person sent by the great elder to monitor her.

And in the morning, he was actually dumped by her during the tracking process.

Hyuga Tokuma asked in a deep voice: “You have disappeared for three hours since the morning. Where did you go during this time?”

“What does disappearing mean?”

Hearing this, Hinata was a little confused and said: “I haven’t left all this time. I went to find Mr. Hizashi in the morning.”

Tokuma’s eyes narrowed.

I heard that Hinata has a volatile personality, changing back and forth between irritable and gentle.

Is this innocent and harmless look she is showing now, or is she showing it sincerely?

“Can you tell me the reason?”

“I am so sorry.”

Hinata looked sincerely apologetic, leaned slightly and said, “Because this is what father has told me to do.”

Hearing that she was using the clan leader as a shield again, Tokuma couldn’t help but twitch in the corners of his eyes.

“…You should remember that you still have the responsibility to protect Ms. Hanabi.”

“Of course I remember, but Sparks-sama seems to like Brother Neji more, so I stopped by while they were playing.”

Hinata tilted her head and asked doubtfully, “Is there any problem?”

Hearing this, Tokuma suddenly choked.

Because what Hinata did was not a big deal at all.

If you continue to ask questions, it will inevitably lead to some mistakes.

Even if the Great Elder knew about it, he would only give a few words of instruction at most and would not take any practical actions.

Anyway, with the caged bird as a restriction, the elder was just worried that she would gather a crowd.

But for some reason, Hinata Tokuma always felt that something was wrong with her.

“If Uncle Tokuma has nothing else to do, then I will go back and take care of Mr. Huo Hua first. After all, protecting the clan is the responsibility of the family.”

After saying that, Hinata leaned forward slightly and walked past Tokuma.

But when the two passed by each other.

Hyuga Tokuma suddenly said: “You’d better not be caught by me making any small moves.”

“Small move? Uncle Tokuma, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Hinata paused and said with an aggrieved expression, “If I did something wrong, you can tell me directly.”

“Even if you can fool anyone, you can’t fool my eyes.”

Hyuga Tokuma frowned and said in a low tone: “If you want to do anything detrimental to the Hyuga clan, I will send you to the elders without mercy.”

The petite body stiffened, and Hinata pretended to be calm and said: “…Uncle Tokuma, why are you so prejudiced against me?”

Sister, Uncle Tokuma, is really troublesome.

“Huh, just a guard dog.”

In his mind, O Hinata’s impatient voice came: “He should be glad that he is not facing me now, otherwise I would not be able to help but beat this barking guy to death.”

Little Hinata comforted her: “Sister, don’t be so irritable.”

…Although, she doesn’t like such pedantic guys either.

Hyuga Tokuma naturally didn’t know about the communication between the two Hinata.

“Humph, I hope it’s my bias.”

He informed expressionlessly: “In one hour, the family meeting will take place in the family conference room, and all branch families must not be absent.”

“You’d better take care of yourself.”

After saying that, Tokuma disappeared instantly.

Hinata didn’t feel any strange, and walked towards the mansion on her own.

But in my mind, I have already communicated with my sister.

“You actually dare to let me participate in the clan meeting?”

O Hinata sneered: “Those old immortals thought it was not painful enough for them to be slapped on the left side of their faces, so now they brought the right side of their faces up for me to slap, right?”

“Perhaps the elder grandpa likes left and right symmetry~”

Ever since Hinata taught several clan elders a lesson at the clan meeting, the situation between the clan and branch clans within the Hyuga clan has become very delicate.

Although they still maintain harmony on the surface, they have actually begun to fragment privately.

There are more and more separate families who are close to Hinata Hinata, and even formed a small faction headed by her.

However, she also knew that those in the Zong family were trying every means to deal with her.

It was just because of Hinata’s softness and kindness towards her fellow clansmen, so even though the old immortals of the main family had been secretly watching, Hinata did not take the initiative to attack them.

However, if the old thing is shameless, then it is no wonder that she is so ruthless.

“I understand, sister.”

Hinata came to the mirror in the mansion and gently stroked the ugly curse mark between her eyebrows: “If someone really did something shameful, you can naturally clean up the family openly.”

“Oh? You are not soft-hearted this time?”

Hearing this, Hinata smiled: “Just like what you said, there is nothing wrong with the original intention of the ancestors to create the caged bird. What is wrong is that some people are obsessed with profit and use the caged bird as a tool to establish their own majesty and consolidate their status.”

“What’s more… not everyone is willing to bear this curse mark and live in a cage called protection for their entire lives.”

As he said, a white cloth strip was tied around his forehead to cover the ugly curse mark.

Little Hinata smiled gently: “Some birds are destined not to be caged, and every feather on them shines with the glory of freedom.”

“Everyone should have the opportunity to choose their own destiny.”

She didn’t want her sister to purge the main family by force and promote reform.

That would only gradually be swallowed by extremism and arrogance, leading to self-hatred, and even family members and friends would dislike and reject her.

For the gentle little Hinata, this is definitely not the final result she hopes for.

So, when Hanabi was three years old, she took the initiative to ask her father to plant a caged bird for her and give the position of the main family to her sister Sparks.

Little Hinata wanted to experience it for herself, so that she could understand everyone’s pain.

“Humph, I really don’t know whether to say you are gentle or stupid.”

Big Hinata complained reluctantly: “If it weren’t for the fact that I can suppress the caged bird, I would never agree to do such a ridiculous thing.”

Just because I haven’t felt the pain of others, I have to sacrifice my future to empathize with them.

This kind of thing…

“No, my sister is really gentle.”

Hinata shook her head, her face full of seriousness: “If it weren’t for my sister, I would just be a crybaby who is comforted by others. How could I see the pain in everyone’s heart?”

She used to be like a selfish child.

She always expected everything to be as she wished, and she had no idea what she was carrying.

“Sister” made her understand what courage is and what responsibility is.

………………

At the same time, in the meeting room of the Hyuga clan, people from the branch family had arrived one after another.

Several members of the branch family gathered together and discussed the matter of the invader in a low voice.

“Have you heard? The invader actually has the Byakugan too!”

“Is this true? I haven’t heard of other Byakugan leaking out before!”

“Besides, the invader is not in a cage yet. I heard that the main family wants to conceal this matter now.”

Hearing this, several people looked at Neji who was silent on the side.

“Ningci, you are an eyewitness, right? Is this news true?”

Just when Neji hesitated, a cold snort suddenly came from not far away.

“Hmph, what are you talking about?”

Several branch family members, including Ningci, looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person standing not far away and shouting loudly was not someone else, but the head elder of the main family who had not come to the meeting room for a long time.

The head elder of the main family, with a sullen face, swept the four branch family members in front of him one by one with a vicious look.

“You idiots dare to criticize the main family. Don’t you know what a sin this is?”
