Naruto: Uzumaki Menma walks out of the infinite moon reading - Chapter 224

c220 You can always find excuses to accuse someone of something?

“It’s bad.”

Several branch family members, including Neji, felt a “thump” in their hearts.

If it were in the past, how dare they criticize the main family in such a place?

However, there have been too many things happening recently, which have given them some extravagant hopes.

“Stupid, you dare to criticize the main family, don’t you know the consequences?”

The elder was already extremely dissatisfied with the branch family and Hyuga Hinata, and now seeing a few people who stood out, he was naturally furious.

So, under the gaze of everyone, the elder strode forward and raised his palm and fell heavily.

Snap! Snap! Snap! !

The strength of these three slaps was unreserved, and the sound of the slaps even resounded throughout the conference room.

“… Sorry, it’s our fault.”

After hesitating for a moment, the two branch family members lowered their heads, and only Neji on the side still had a gloomy face.

Noticing the stubbornness displayed by Neji, the elder, whose anger had not yet dissipated, scolded: “Asshole, you dare not accept it?!”

The two branch family members beside him hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes.

Good people don’t fight with old dogs.

Ningci came back to his senses, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes when he looked at the elder, but it was quickly suppressed and disappeared, and he lowered his head like the two of them.

“Sorry.”

Although the coldness flashed, the elder still noticed that Neji was different.

“Damn it! Who do you think you are? How dare you show your killing intentions to me?!”

The angry elder raised his hands and formed a seal, launching the “Caged Bird Curse Seal” against Neji.

“Forbidden!!”

“Ahhh!!”

As the caged bird curse seal was launched, Neji fell to the ground with his head covered, rolling back and forth in pain and wailing.

His wailing resounded throughout the conference room. The members of the Hyuga branch stood up and looked at Neji and the elder with strange eyes.

Several of the branch members looked at each other, but soon shook their heads imperceptibly.

Coincidentally, Hizashi, who heard the sound, also hurried over.

When he saw Neji being tortured by the caged bird and wailing in pain.

Hizashi suppressed his anger and turned to the elder and said, “Elder, please let him go. He is still a child and cannot withstand the destruction of the curse seal!”

But the elder just snorted coldly and had no intention of showing mercy.

“Huh!”

Hizashi took a deep breath with a flushed face and whispered to Neji, “Ningji, have you forgotten what I told you? If there is anything, wait until you get back and talk about it!”

Neji seemed not to hear his father’s persuasion.

No matter how the elder activated the “caged bird curse seal”, even if she was crying in pain on the ground, she was extremely stubborn and refused to beg for mercy.

The elder’s face changed, and he even had some murderous intent in his heart.

“Looking for death!”

Hyuga Hinata was protected by the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, and he didn’t catch any useful handle on her, so no matter how dissatisfied the elder was with her, he couldn’t do anything.

But now Hyuga Neji is an ordinary member of the branch family, who gave him the courage to challenge the authority of the main family? !

Hyuga Hinata is really shaking the authority of the main family!

Thinking of this, the elder’s heart suddenly became ruthless, and he was ready to activate the curse seal to kill Neji directly.

But at this moment.

“Enough!”

A loud shout interrupted the elder’s action.

Hiashi’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out: “What’s the point of making a fuss? Do you want to make a fool of yourself for the two guests?”

The eyes of Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu behind him were even more weird.

“It’s really interesting.”

They didn’t expect that the Hyuga clan had become so chaotic.

Not only did they invite the two Konoha consultants to attend the family meeting.

Even from the look of the head elder of the main family just now, if there was no obstruction and rebuke from the head of the clan, Hyuga Hiashi, he might want to kill Hyuga Neji in front of all the branch families.

While the two felt very absurd, they also remembered the rumors they heard not long ago.

The Hyuga branch family represented by Hyuga Hinata seemed to be secretly preparing to resist the rule of the main family. The contradiction between the two sides was escalating and had reached the point where fire and water could not tolerate each other.

Mitomon En and the others didn’t pay much attention to this “rumor”.

After all, the branch family members of the Hyuga clan were all bound by the caged bird curse seal.

And under the curse seal that controlled their life and death, the resistance of the branch family would only appear weak and ridiculous.

However, now seeing this ridiculous and funny scene in front of him…

“Could that rumor be true?”

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu looked at each other at the same time, and saw the surprise and confusion in each other’s eyes.

The elder was interrupted by Hiashi who suddenly came in, and then he found that the branches had gathered around him unknowingly.

Being stared at by many branches, the elder actually felt a chill.

In addition, the two consultants were still watching, and he was neither advancing nor retreating for a while, and his expression became gloomy.

Realizing this, Hizashi hurriedly said: “Elder, the wicked son is still young and ignorant. I will definitely teach him a lesson after I go back.”

Seeing Hizashi handing over the steps, the elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just a kid who can’t make any waves. The real thing to deal with is the little girl Hyuga Hinata.

Thinking of this, the murderous intent in the Great Elder’s heart receded a little, but he still straightened his back and shouted loudly: “Hyuga Neji is disobedient and commits a crime. Considering that it is a first offense, he will be imprisoned!”

“If you do it again, you will be punished according to the clan rules and you will be cursed and killed!”

Hearing this, Hizashi breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly picked up Neji from the ground and walked to the corner step by step.

“You’re being too reckless today!”

Neji lowered his head and couldn’t see his expression, silently patting the dust on his body.

Seeing this, Hizashi could only sigh and comforted in a low voice: “Don’t worry, after a while, I will go to the clan leader to plead for mercy from your imprisonment. I believe the clan leader will not embarrass us too much.”

Neji’s movements paused.

“Father.”

He slowly raised his head and looked at Hizashi expressionlessly: “Do you hate caged birds?”

Hizashi was stunned for a moment: “You…”

“No, father, you probably don’t hate caged birds.”

Before Hizashi could finish his words, Neci said to himself: “Even if you become a caged bird, you can still become a housekeeper.”

Looking at Neji in front of him, Hizashi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Hizashi frowned and said in confusion: “Neji, what do you want to say?”

“nothing.”

Neji said calmly: “I have tried hard, but I still can’t do it in the end.”

Hearing this, Hizashi breathed a sigh of relief: “It doesn’t matter. Only when you are alive can you have hope. Don’t do such stupid things in the future.”

After that, he leaned close to Ningji’s ear and reminded in a low voice: “With the clan leader and I dealing with the clan and the branch clan, I believe it will get better one day.”

Hizashi thought that Neji meant that he had realized how powerless he was in resisting the clan.

But little did he know that that was not what he really meant.

But Neji didn’t say much, just smiled noncommittally.

“I hope so.”

Unfortunately, the destruction of the Caged Bird Seal has shattered the last hope in my heart and my last attachment to my family.

The horror of being controlled by those guys over life and death, and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a birdcage.

I don’t want to wait anymore.

I am not willing to be a household bird like my father.

Even if I am destined to die, I will die in pursuit of freedom.

Instead of dying in humiliation at the hands of an incompetent and pedantic old man like those who separated.

Click!

“Sorry, it seems I’m late.”

As the door to the conference room was pushed open again, Hinata walked in slowly with a smile on her face.

The moment she entered the conference room, she became the center of attention of everyone in the hall.

“Ahem!”

Seeing everyone’s eyes turning away from him, the great elder sitting on the chair coughed twice in dissatisfaction.

However, thinking of the scene of her begging for mercy a while later, the elder who was in a good mood did not embarrass Hinata too much.

“Since you know you’re late, why don’t you hurry up and find a place to sit down?”

Hinata understood that this family meeting was probably for her, so she looked at Hiashi who was sitting at the top.

Sensing his daughter’s gaze, Rizu shook his head in a subtle way, saying that he didn’t know either.

“Heh, interesting.”

Hinata smiled nonchalantly and sat next to Neji and Hizashi.

At this time, Rizu turned his head and asked proactively: “Great Elder, why did you invite us to attend the clan meeting?”

So everyone subconsciously looked at the Great Elder, even Xiaochun and the two who were sleeping there were no exception.

Not only Hizu as the clan leader, but also the two of them.

It is unclear why the clan elder invited them to attend the Hyuga clan meeting.

“Then, let me explain it to everyone.”

The great elder glanced at the people below and said with a serious expression: “The reason for proposing to hold today’s family meeting is because we discovered something that may endanger the safety of the village, so we had to invite two consultants to attend this meeting. , I hope we can work out a solution.”

The great elder’s words were like a piece of gravel thrown into a pond, immediately causing ripples in the calm conference room.

“Will it endanger the safety of the village?”

Mito Menyan frowned: “What could endanger the village?”

Facing the noise of the people below and the doubts of the advisors, the elder deliberately glanced at Hinata Hinata, then cleared his throat and said with a solemn expression: “Of course it’s about the guy who invaded Hinata not long ago.”

“Not long ago, we discovered that someone deliberately provided information about the intruder to the Zong family, and then spread untrue rumors in the branch family.”

After a deliberate pause, the Great Elder continued: “Please ask insiders to report the specific information.”

After saying that, Hinata Tokuma, who had always been standing behind him, stood up and instantly attracted the strange eyes of everyone in the branch family.

However, Hyuga Tokuma didn’t care and said to himself: “As far as I know, the intruder who also has Byakugan did not plant the caged bird. His purpose was to seize Miss Sparkle’s eyes and call them pure. ‘s eyes rolled.”

“But the child who was with the intruder turned out to be a blind man without eyes. As a result, there was a vicious rumor among the separated families that one could get rid of the caged bird by poaching out the white eyes of the clan…”

The great elder took over the words and said: “Yes, this is a rumor. Even if you change your eyes, you can’t get rid of the caged bird.”

“But the most important thing is that the people who led the way and repelled the intruders before were Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata from the branch family!”

His tone sank, staring at Neji and Hinata and questioning: “This matter is related to the invaders with Byakugan, and it is also related to the peace and safety of the village, so I need you to give me, the two advisors, and everyone present an explanation!”

“Who are the invaders, where are they from, what is the purpose of the eye-catching… Or, did you plan this matter?!”

Hearing the indignant speech of the elder, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became subtle.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Hyuga Hinata and Neji.

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu also looked at Hinata, very curious about how this little girl from the branch family would respond to the elder’s criticism.

The elder, who felt that he had mastered the situation, also raised the corner of his mouth, stared at Hyuga Hinata and laughed secretly: “Humph, brainless and violent little girl, today I will let you see what the power of rules and power is.”

He knew very well that it was impossible to directly criticize this little girl as a traitor based on one-sided speculation and accusations.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as she can’t explain it perfectly, she will be caught in the loophole and her authority in the branch family will plummet.

This is “forcing him to prove his guilt.”

“Elder, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.”

Hinata said with a smile: “The reason why Brother Neji led him to the clan is not only to ensure his own safety, but also to prevent the invaders from running away in fear.”

“Your sophistry is meaningless and will not satisfy everyone present.”

The elder smiled and said: “You should honestly admit that you colluded with the invaders. As long as you are willing to sincerely repent, the village and the family will give you a chance.”

Facing the aggressive questioning of the elder and the suspicious and inquiring eyes of everyone, Hinata slowly stood up.

The elder smiled confidently and asked, “Hinata Hyuga, do you want to explain?”

“Both consultants are here. If you have any questions, you can ask them to answer them!”

Hizashi, who was crouching on the side, blinked at Hinata repeatedly, almost turning from a hint to an explicit statement, with an extremely anxious expression on his face, almost opening his mouth to persuade.

Hinata, as usual, gave him a gentle smile.

But when she turned her head again and looked at the elder, the corners of her mouth raised a playful arc.

The elder who was stared at suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart,

but in a flash, he suppressed this ominous feeling.

Because he thought, even if Hinata Hyuga had great courage, she would not dare to do anything disrespectful to him as a head of the family in front of the two consultants.

“You…what do you want to do?”

“Sure enough, it’s hard to reason with you guys.”

The gentle smile on Hinata’s face gradually faded, and she shook her head and said with pity: “You are all like selfish children, always expecting everything to go as you wish, and shamelessly pretending to be innocent.”

The moment the voice fell, before everyone could react.

Swish! !

Hyuga Hinata’s figure flashed, and with an almost ghostly speed, she rushed directly in front of the three elders of the clan.

“What do you want to do?!”

Looking at Hyuga Tokuma who was blocking her, Hinata’s body turned slightly.

She bypassed Tokuma very quickly, holding down the heads of the two elders of the clan with both hands, and at the same time, her right knee hit the lower jaw of the middle elder fiercely.

Bang Bang Bang! ! !

Three crisp sounds came almost at the same time, and the three heads collided directly with each other.
