Chapter 762 Neji's Conversation with Hyuga Hizashi: Terrifying Strength

"Indeed, nine years have passed!"

Hyuga Neji spoke with a touch of emotion, his tone softening. "Hinata was three years old when she was captured; she's twelve now, a total of nine years."

He thought about the time he spent with his father.

"Neji, step aside. I don't want to hurt you. You should know that the Uchiha clan killed half of the Hyuga clan. Today, I'll kill this Uchiha Genyu first to collect some interest from the Uchiha clan!" Hyuga Hizashi said slowly, his tone still calm.

He genuinely didn't want to clash with his son, and he was somewhat afraid to face Neji, who had abandoned him at such a young age. However, his actions were also for the sake of the Hyuga clan.

Can,
Things had come to this point, and even though he didn't want to hurt Neji, he couldn't control his body.

"The Uchiha clan wiped out half of the Hyuga clan?" Hyuga Neji was taken aback for a moment, then slowly said, "Who told you that the Uchiha clan wiped out half of the Hyuga clan's population?"

Neji raised an eyebrow, looking at his father speechlessly, wondering who had fooled him.

This explains why Hyuga Hizashi harbored such great hostility towards the Uchiha clan.

"Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, could he have said something wrong?" Hyuga Hizashi looked at his son's somewhat mocking smile and was also filled with doubt.

Could it be that

Was Hiruzen Sarutobi deceiving himself?

"Dad, do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't lie to you since he used such an evil ninjutsu?" Neji Hyuga replied with a smile. When his father died for the clan and the village, he didn't think too much about it. He still didn't think that much about it now.

"Could it be that the Hyuga clan suffered no casualties? Did Hiruzen Sarutobi lie to me?" Hyuga Hizashi asked in surprise, but this time a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Hyuga Hizashi subconsciously tried to think positively.

"No. Almost the entire main branch of the Hyuga clan was wiped out!" Hyuga Neji looked at his father, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and continued, "But it wasn't the Uchiha clan that wiped them out; I did it myself!"

"Or were they wiped out? Uh, the main family?" Hyuga Hizashi frowned as he spoke, his tone somewhat dejected, but his eyes widened upon hearing the following words: "You wiped out the Hyuga main family?"

"How is this possible? You have the Caged Bird Seal on you, how could you possibly kill someone from the main family?"

Even now, Hyuga Hizashi was still somewhat taken aback, even bitterly laughing at how they had been controlled by the main family since birth, how could they possibly fight back against the main family? They knew that the Bird Mark was a hurdle they could never overcome.

Once they are branded with the mark of a caged bird, their lives are completely changed.

He had rebelled for Neji's sake, but it was all in vain.

"Haven't you noticed the change in me yet?" Hyuga Neji sneered. "My Crypt Lord mark was removed long ago!"

Uh?
Released?
Only then did he take a serious look at Neji. He then noticed that the Caged Bird mark on Neji's forehead had been covered by a lotus flower, and that his son's lotus mark looked somewhat sinister.

"Your Caged Bird Mark is really gone?" Hyuga Hizashi was somewhat taken aback, but he still couldn't help but ask, "How is that possible?" In fact, while he was alive, he had been studying the Caged Bird Mark with the branch family members, trying to remove it, but the Caged Bird Mark was imprinted on his soul and could not be erased at all!

Even if they were to come back to life, they would still bear the mark of being caged birds.

"It's true! This lotus mark not only corrected the flaws of the Caged Bird Seal, but it can also enhance the cultivation talents of our branch family members! Now, all the branch family members have had their Caged Bird Seals removed!" Hyuga Neji briefly explained the function of his lotus mark, and then continued, "However, the person who provided the means to remove the Caged Bird Seal was Uchiha Gen'yu!"

"If you want to kill him now, you're going against the Hyuga clan, and the Hyuga clan is siding with the Uchiha!"

Hyuga Neji slowly opened his mouth, even mentioning his allegiance to the Uchiha clan, though the Hyuga clan had already taken sides long ago.

Hyuga Hizashi was still shocked by Neji's massacre of most of the main Hyuga clan members. He continued, "Even if you regain your freedom, you cannot slaughter the entire Hyuga main clan!"

"Heh, with Father here, you have the least right to say that!" Hyuga Neji saw that his father was still going to speak up for the Hyuga main family, so he continued, "After you left, did you know how the main family used the Caged Bird Mark to bully us? I was only forced to fight back and injured a child from the main family, and they actually wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to flee the village!"

"But when I returned after removing the caged bird's mark, I found my mother, who was being tortured and on the verge of death!"

"Can you understand how I felt at that time? My mother was my only family. Even after I went back, those people continued to torment her. Don't you think those people deserved to die?"

"Wife?" Hyuga Hizashi was somewhat moved at this point, but then shook his head violently: "No, no, I specifically sought out Hyuga Hiashi before I left, and he promised me that he would take good care of you and your child!"

"Heh. Caregiver? How can a clan leader manage so many elders of the main clan? Besides, in the eyes of the main clan, we are their slaves. Even if Hyuga Hiashi scolds them, they won't take it seriously. Instead, they will bully us even more!" Hyuga Neji said, his eyes still flashing with killing intent: "How could an indecisive clan leader completely break with the main clan because of my mother and son?"

Towards the end, Hyuga Neji became somewhat self-deprecating.

"You have suffered all these years!" Hyuga Hizashi remained silent for a long time before slowly uttering a few words.

Just as the father and son were reminiscing, Sarutobi Rin, who was being gnawed at by insects behind them, kept snorting coldly: "Hyuga Hizashi, why don't you hurry up and make your move? We need to go back and report!"

As Sarutobi Rin said those words, Hyuga Hizashi once again lost control of his body.

"Neji, hurry up and take Genyu away, I can't control my body anymore!" Hyuga Hizashi said hastily, looking at his body that was moving out of his control.

Since Uchiha Genyu is the benefactor of the Hyuga branch family, he cannot repay kindness with enmity!

All we can do now is get Neji to take Genyu and leave this place as soon as possible.

"Hyuga Hizashi, you dare betray Hiruzen! Just wait until this mission is over, I'll tell him!" Sarutobi Rin was still babbling on.

"No need... I can just seal you away!" Hyuga Neji shook his head decisively.

Hyuga Hizashi wanted to say that he wasn't so easy to seal, but before he could speak, he saw a bone spike chain pierce through his body and then quickly wrap around him.

In a blink of an eye,
Hyuga Hizashi was bound so that only his head was exposed.
