Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 270 Neji shouldn't have listened to Naruto's nonsense

Neji: I shouldn't have listened to Naruto's nonsense.

Konoha, the Hyuga clan.

Neji: ...

The Chunin Exams were broadcast on the screen, several years later, and Neji was fighting Naruto during the Chunin Exams.

He was a year older than Naruto and a genius of the Hyuga clan, so he defeated Naruto time and time again.

However, when he was talking to Naruto, he had already lost.

He believed that a person's life was bound by fate and that no one could escape it, but Naruto believed that this was not the case.

With the Uzumaki bloodline and the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto beat him up, and he foolishly believed Naruto.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, as a member of the Hyuga branch family, he ultimately could not escape his fate and died protecting Hinata.

Of course, Naruto could also refute this.

Neji chose to die protecting Hinata; no one forced him to.

However, without Naruto's influence, they might have made a different choice.

Now, Neji cannot bring himself to sacrifice himself for Hinata.

"True strength lies only in self-belief," Neji thought to himself.

Neji's resolve is now unwavering.

Naruto didn't believe in his ideas, so why should he believe in Naruto's ideas?

Given their different circumstances, could Naruto truly understand his feelings?

If Naruto were a branch family member of the Hyuga clan and had experienced the Caged Bird Seal, would he still have said those things?

The more Neji thought about it, the more inexplicably angry he felt.

In addition, Neji is becoming increasingly annoyed with Naruto.

At that moment, he really wanted to beat up Naruto.

However, if they actually went and beat up Naruto, not to mention whether they could defeat him, it would also bring some trouble to the Hyuga clan.

After all, Naruto is the 'crown prince'.

Although the Hyuga clan is a powerful family in Konoha, their situation is actually quite awkward.

Of course, they were much better than the Uchiha.

They haven't yet escaped the Hyuga clan, and if they cause trouble for the clan, they will be punished.

There are no human rights issues when dividing a family property.

If they go astray, they will be punished by the main family.

Because of the Caged Bird Seal, even if their strength surpasses that of the main family, they cannot resist.

Everyone says that the Uchiha clan is inherently evil, but in Neji's opinion, the Caged Bird Seal is the most evil of all.

……

Hiashi Hyuga frowned.

If Neji saw this on the screen, what would he think?
He didn't want Neji's thoughts to go 'wrong'.

However, influenced by the light barrier, Neji's thoughts will inevitably become 'distorted'.

As for abolishing caged birds, there is great resistance to this.

Everyone in the main family is a beneficiary, including Hiashi himself.

In addition, once the caged bird is gone, the protection for the white eyes will not be sufficient.

There are far too many people in the ninja world who covet the Byakugan.

Therefore, after considering the possibility of abolishing the caged bird, Hiashi knew that there would be many difficulties.

However, if a member of a branch family makes a great contribution, they can become a member of the main family.

But Neji doesn't have enough credit yet.

A tremendous contribution to the clan.

……

Naruto's gaze was somewhat complicated.

The screen said that Hinata Hyuga was his future wife, and that she had given him a son named Boruto and a daughter named Himawari.

Naruto was aware of the Hyuga clan's main and branch family system, though his understanding wasn't deep enough, he still knew quite a bit.

The screen said Neji believed his nonsense, and he was indignant.

He certainly wouldn't agree with believing in fate or anything like that.

People can change their destiny through their own efforts.

Even a branch family of the Hyuga clan can change their fate through hard work.

……

F3 all looked somewhat serious.

The Hyuga clan is an indispensable force in Konoha.

Protecting the Hyuga Byakugan is also extremely important.

The Hyuga clan's main family and branch family system does indeed protect the Byakugan very well.

Nowadays, among the five great ninja villages, only Konoha and Kirigakure have a Byakugan.

This is all thanks to the Caged Bird. Without the protection of the Caged Bird, perhaps all five great ninja villages would have the Byakugan.

Once all five great ninja villages possess the Byakugan, the Byakugan will no longer be a major advantage for Konoha.

Therefore, in the grand scheme of things, the Hyuga clan's main family and branch family system is still very necessary.

Furthermore, this system has existed for a long time. If it were suddenly abolished, would the hatred in the hearts of the branch family members disappear? It might even lead to internal strife within the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo is the best course of action to protect the Byakugan and ensure the stability of the Hyuga clan.

"Neji's death on the light screen was also his own choice; he possessed the Will of Fire," Mitokado Homura said to Utatane Koharu.

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, nodded in complete agreement.

According to the screen, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Neji was injured on the battlefield but refused to receive treatment, choosing instead to continue fighting. He ultimately died protecting Hinata, and no one forced him to do so.

Did the Hyuga main family use the Caged Bird Seal to coerce Neji?

Since it was Neji's own choice.

Therefore, there's no need to speak up for Neji on the screen.

As a ninja, choosing to sacrifice oneself is also a way of practicing the ninja way.

When necessary, he, Mitokado, and she, Koharu, are both willing to be sacrificed.

Hiruzen and Danzo were also capable of making sacrifices for the village.

But looking at the light screen, Mitokado Homura frowned deeply.

Needless to say, this light screen incident will inevitably cause unrest within the Hyuga branch family.

As for Hyuga Neji, he is one of the '12 Konoha', so he is quite important!

"This is not good for the unity of the village!" Mitokado Homura sighed inwardly, but he didn't have any good ideas.

……

A smile appeared on Ah Wei's lips.

Awei also studied the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga clan.

Now, Awei can release the Caged Bird Seal from the Hyuga branch family.

However, the cooperation of the Hyuga branch family is also required.

After this live stream ends, Awei will consider releasing the Caged Bird Seal from the Hyuga branch family, starting with Neji!

As for what will happen if the Hyuga branch family members release the Caged Bird Seal, it's hard to say. Perhaps the Hyuga clan will simply change its head, or perhaps the current main family members will be killed.

The number of people who split up exceeded that of the main branch.

Furthermore, the branch families are responsible for protecting the main family, so they are also quite powerful.

The caged bird is not only a means for the main family to control the branch families, but also a way to limit the Byakugan (white eye).

The bird in the cage has a flaw in its white eyes.

The Byakugan can evolve into the Tenseigan, but it is almost impossible for a flawed Byakugan to evolve into the Tenseigan.

In battle, even a slight flaw in the Byakugan can be fatal.

……

The Japanese team found Neji.

The letter left by Hiashi had already been shown to Neji. At this moment, Hiashi was having a heart-to-heart talk with Neji.

Of course, it's the importance of the Caged Bird Seal to the Hyuga clan. Neji is still young, his perspective is too one-sided, and he's influenced by the light barrier, which makes Hiashi uneasy!

Neji sneered inwardly at the importance of the Caged Bird to the clan.

Undeniably, the Caged Bird Seal did bring many benefits to the Hyuga clan, but Neji still harbored deep resentment towards it.

Those who have separated from their family, especially those bearing the Caged Bird Seal, are almost always filled with hatred.

Without the constraints of being a caged bird, it's almost certain that the branch family will retaliate against the main family.

Now that the clan leader has opened his heart, Neji will naturally cooperate.

"I'm so sorry about your father's death."

Hiashi approached Neji and then performed a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) on Neji's back.

At this moment, Neji was also moved.

The Hyuga clan has strict rules. If someone makes a mistake, it's okay; a bow is enough. He bowed, so of course we forgive him! If a bow isn't enough, then we'll have him dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling gesture). Is that still not enough?
In particular, Hiashi is the clan head, while Neji is only from a branch family and is a junior.

Therefore, Neji was unable to calm down after Ash performed a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) for him that day.

Hyuga was only concerned with saving him and Neji, unaware that a Chunin from the Hyuga branch family was lurking in the shadows.

The Hyuga branch family ninja lurking in the shadows has Ah Wei's spores on him, and Ah Wei's spores have already taken control of this branch family member named Hyuga Shinichi.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Shinichi Hyuga is one of the branch families of Awei.

Of course, Shinichi Hyuga's main consciousness was not erased, but rather fell into a deep sleep.

If there were many people, Hiashi wouldn't have performed a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) for Neji.

Hiashi made a dogeza (a deep bow) because he felt that it was just him and Neji.

This is mainly due to PUA Neji, or perhaps the CPU!
It has to be said that Hiashi Hyuga is quite capable.

A ninja clan leader, after serving for a long time, will inevitably develop some skills and his original intentions will change.

Hiashi has two daughters, Hinata and Hanabi. Hanabi is supposed to be a member of the separate family, but will Hiashi allow his younger daughter to be a member of the separate family?
At this moment, Hiashi also observed Neji's reaction.

He observed Neji's reaction.

It must be said that this dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) was truly effective.

But this was also within Japan's expectations.

Otherwise, Hiashi wouldn't have performed the dogeza (a deep bow) for Neji.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Riji left.

At this moment, most of Neji's resentment towards the main family had dissipated.

"Neji, you're so naive." After confirming that Hiashi had left, Shinichi Hyuga also appeared.

Neji was also taken aback when Shinichi appeared that day.

Shinichi Hyuga was lurking nearby, completely unaware of Neji's presence.

However, Neji does know Shinichi.

"Shinichi-nii," Neji called out.

Shinichi Hyuga is 10 years older than Neji and only became a Chunin last year. His talent is not bad, but it is not particularly good either.

Compared to Neji, Shinichi is far inferior.

Neji is a genius in the Hyuga clan.

It was only because the Caged Bird Seal weakened Neji's Byakugan that Neji's Byakugan became stronger; otherwise, Neji would have been even stronger.

Many members of the Hyuga clan also felt sorry for Neji, such a genius was not from the main branch.

If one of the clan leaders' daughters and Neji could have a break, and Neji were the young clan leader, the Hyuga clan could have prospered even more!
Shinichi didn't have much of a presence within the clan.

"You call me naive?" Neji frowned.

"The letter your father left behind, and the dogeza you just did, were all to tell you not to harbor any resentment towards the main family, so that you would serve the main family faithfully." A mocking smile appeared on Shinichi's lips.

Upon hearing Shinichi's words, Neji's expression changed.

Neji was reluctant to believe it.

"When did your father die? When did Hiashi take out your father's letter? Why didn't he take it out sooner? Was that letter really written by your father? Was your father forced to write that letter?" Shinichi calmly asked a number of questions.

As Shinichi bombarded Neji with a barrage of questions, Neji's expression kept changing.

"Perhaps there will be a way to remove the Caged Bird Seal soon," Shinichi said with a smile.

Upon hearing Shinichi's words, Neji was quite agitated.

"What?" Neji's eyes widened.

Is there a way to break the curse on the caged bird?
Neji knew that the main family would never kindly release the branch family from the caged bird trap.

So, besides the main family, who else can free the bird from its cage?
Or perhaps, the family members who separated have been secretly researching ways to free the bird from its cage?
Although Neji was also a member of the branch family, there were many secrets about the branch family that he was unaware of.

Therefore, Neji was not surprised that some members of the branch family were secretly researching ways to release the caged bird.

However, the main family is keeping an eye on the branch family.

It must be difficult to secretly research a way to free the caged bird without the knowledge of the main family!
"Besides the main family, is there anyone else who can break the caged bird?" Neji asked.

Even within the main family, very few can free a bird from its cage.

"You're not qualified yet. When you are, you'll know. You'd better watch yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shinichi left.

Neji couldn't calm down as he watched Shinichi's retreating figure.

Neji dreams of breaking the Caged Bird Seal.

When Shinichi said he wasn't qualified enough, he certainly wasn't referring to his strength.

So, it's about his mindset.

His attitude towards the main family!
and so……

At this moment, Neji also had many thoughts in his mind.

If only members of the branch family who are dissatisfied with the main family can be released from the Caged Bird Seal, then after the Caged Bird Seal is released...

The more Neji thought about it, the more alarmed he became; he could almost see an internal strife brewing within the clan.

So, should he now head to the clan's secret headquarters? To nip an internal strife in the bud? But what good would that do him?
Will the main family believe him?
Since Shinichi has already told him, then he won't be afraid of him being secretive.

"I will always be a member of a branch family." Neji had made his choice.

The main family is the main family, while Hyuga Neji was destined to be a member of the branch family from birth.

Since it's a family division, his stance should be that the family should be divided.

If separating the family could free the caged bird, then he would certainly fight for it.

At this moment, Neji's mind was filled with thoughts of freeing the Caged Bird.

Freedom, that's what he longed for.

It may already be within reach.

……

A smile appeared on Shinichi Hyuga's lips.

Of the vast Hyuga clan, very few could catch Awei's eye.

Neji is a remarkable character. If he weren't bound by the Caged Bird Seal and had grown even more, he would be a character worth watching.

Although we've considered removing Neji from the cage, it still depends on Neji.

Although I have high hopes for Neji, if Neji disappoints him, then there's no need to release him from the Caged Bird Seal.

……

The courtyard of the Hyuga clan head.

Japan is back.

At this moment, Japan was in a good mood.

Neji probably has no complaints about the main branch of the family anymore.

In Hiashi's view, it would be best if Neji, as a member of the branch family, could sacrifice himself to protect the main family, just like Neji died protecting Hinata on the screen. That's what a proper branch family should be like.

Negative thoughts and extreme behaviors are unacceptable.

"Everything is for the sake of the clan," Hiashi thought to himself.

At that moment, Hiashi saw Shinichi passing by outside the courtyard, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

In Hijikata's eyes, Shinichi was just a nobody, not even worth his attention.

Shinichi glanced at Hiashi out of the corner of his eye, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips, which Hiashi did not notice.
