Chapter 448 The Great Changes in the Hyuga Clan, The Truth Behind the Caged Bird Technique (4K)

The Hyuga clan has encountered the most serious family crisis in a thousand years, and if not handled properly, it may even fall apart.

For the Hyuga clan—or more accurately, the religious elders and other family rulers and predators—the real culprits in this upheaval will be them. The Hyuga clan's niche will not be replaced; under the leadership of their relatives, the Otsutsuki clan, they will move towards a completely new future.

Yes, this is what terrifies the carnivorous members of the Hyuga clan. When the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, driven by extreme hatred for the Hyuga clan's situation, forcefully intervened in the management of the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan actually had little choice.

Overturn the table?
Sorry, the strength of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon far surpasses that of the Hyuga clan. As for the Konoha leadership, the Hyuga clan's closed and extreme family environment has long made them unhappy, even disgusted. After all, the Hyuga clan's family caste system is contrary to the Konoha's founding principles.

If it weren't for the fact that the Hyuga main family possessed the Caged Bird Technique, giving them absolute control over the branch families, and that the Hyuga clan was an important family in Konoha, Konoha would suffer heavy losses if a conflict broke out between the two sides, and there would be no alternative ecological niche. In that case, the Konoha leadership would have already taken action against the Hyuga clan.

Now that the Konoha leadership has brought in the Moon Otsutsuki, who shares the same origin as the Hyuga clan, is stronger, and can completely replace the Hyuga clan's ecological niche, is there still any need to worry about the Hyuga clan's resistance and table-flipping behavior?

Moreover, Orochimaru and his group have now devised a way to safely undo the Caged Bird Technique. If the branch families of the Hyuga clan find out about this method, would they still be willing to continue serving as the main family's dogs?

Perhaps there are indeed many who have been completely domesticated and are willing to be dogs, but there are also many who are unwilling to be dogs!
For example, Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi, who recently succeeded as the head of the main family, is the head of the branch family of the Hyuga clan. Although he is a brother to his older brother, he is unwilling to be a dog forever, especially when he thinks that his future children will also have to be dogs. Hyuga Hizashi is even more unwilling.

Therefore, when the Moon Otsutsuki came knocking, Hyuga Hizashi, while astonished and at a loss, couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

Then, under these circumstances, the Konoha leadership secretly approached Hyuga Hizashi, told him about the ability to break the Caged Bird Jutsu, and asked if he was willing to cooperate.

Hyuga Hizashi was excited at the time, but he hesitated because of his feelings for his older brother, Hyuga Hiashi.

So, Uchiha Itachi found Hyuga Hizashi and told him about the parallel world, and also let Hyuga Hizashi know about his son, Hyuga Neji.

At that moment, Hyuga Hizashi realized that his brother was his brother and he was himself. Although they were brothers, they were from the main family and the branch family, and were the biggest victims of the caste system. His son, Hyuga Neji, would also become a victim.

Especially after Uchiha Kei said that Hyuga Neji possessed Kage-level talent, but was unable to realize it due to the Caged Bird Technique, Hyuga Hizashi completely lost it.

From this moment on, Hyuga Hizashi was no longer the head of the Hyuga branch family, but a failed father and a rebel who wanted to fight for the branch family.

Therefore, Hyuga Hizashi chose to cooperate with the Konoha leadership and secretly contacted a large group of Hyuga branch family members who were dissatisfied with their branch family status and longed to escape the Caged Bird Technique, forming a secret rebel group.

Then, Konoha kept its promise and released these people from the Caged Bird Technique.

When the Caged Bird Technique disappeared, all the members of the Hyuga branch family lost control of their emotions. This was a feeling of true freedom that they had never experienced since they were very young, a feeling of no longer having their souls and wills bound.

Those who are not from the Hyuga branch family simply cannot understand the feelings at this moment.

On the spot, many people laughed and cried, some even shed tears, while others silently enjoyed the feeling of freedom.

Without a doubt, for these members of the Hyuga branch family, this was a brand new day, a brand new day in every sense of the word, a day of rebirth for them.

And so, the matter of the Hyuga branch family was settled, while the Otsutsuki clan on the moon continued to exert pressure on the Hyuga family, making them very uncomfortable.

They wanted to ask other families for help, but the Konoha leadership had already informed all the internal forces in advance. Therefore, those families that were on good terms with the Hyuga clan chose to stand by and watch, saying that this was an internal matter of the Hyuga and Otsutsuki clans, and it was inconvenient for them to get involved.

To put it bluntly, the Hyuga clan's system of main and branch families has long been a source of discontent for other clans. After all, this system ensures that there will always be more branch families than main families, and since everyone can attend the Konoha Ninja Academy, there has been considerable contact between various parties and the Hyuga clan's branch families.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Hyuga clan primarily deployed members of the branch family. Members of the main family rarely went out on missions or went to the battlefield, making it difficult to see members of the Hyuga main family in the outside world.

It can be said that 90% of the Hyuga clan's contributions to Konoha come from the Hyuga branch family.

However, under the Hyuga clan system, all the glory that the Hyuga branch family members earned through their hard work would be seized by the Hyuga main family, leaving the branch family members with nothing. After all, under that clan system, the branch family members were essentially tools and slaves; in feudal times, everything belonged to the head of the family.

Who is the head of the family?

It's the main family, of course.

Tell me, what normal person could stand to see something like this?
Anyway, Konoha doesn't have them.

In fact, many times, the people of Konoha wanted to change the situation of the Hyuga clan, but they were helpless because the situation of the Hyuga clan was too special, making it seem like they didn't know where to start.

This can be seen from the original work. Even Might Guy, the number one taijutsu master in Konoha, could only be helpless in matters concerning his own disciple and could do nothing about it.

Therefore, now that the Konoha leadership has brought in another Byakugan clan to resolve the Hyuga clan's millennia-old problem, how could other ninja clans possibly help the Hyuga main clan? The reason they don't directly interfere is because the Konoha leadership has assured them that they will handle this matter themselves.

Therefore, the Hyuga main family soon discovered that they were isolated and helpless. At this moment, when they were filled with shock and anger and felt abandoned, Hyuga Hizashi directly led the Hyuga branch family in a rebellion, openly standing on the side of the Otsutsuki on the moon and announcing that he would end the previous system.

It's not about destroying the distinction between the main family and the branch family, since the Otsutsuki clan on the moon also has this distinction. Rather, it's about ensuring that, like the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, the main family and the branch family share the same personality, with only different roles. We can no longer use the Caged Bird Technique to control the branch family and make them slaves of the main family forever! The branch family should also enjoy the same treatment and honor as the main family, and the main family cannot take possession of what the branch family earns without a second thought!
To be honest, such a demand can be described as quite peaceful, or even somewhat abstract, at least in Uchiha Itachi's view.

Based on the ideas of the ancient Chinese ancestors, Uchiha Itachi felt that the Hyuga branch family's rebellion was too frivolous, and even had a feel of a female-oriented online world, as it didn't directly wipe out the entire main family or apply the Caged Bird Technique to the main family members to make them feel the same treatment.

However, considering that this is the Naruto world, and Konoha is a place where bonds, camaraderie, and kinship have been intertwined since the village's founding, the Hyuga branch family's thoughts are understandable.

If it were Kirigakure instead, the Hyuga main clan would have faced annihilation by now.

However, the Hyuga main family clearly did not understand how good the treatment they were receiving was, and were even shocked and angry about it. They then loudly denounced the Hyuga branch family for their disloyalty and injustice, as if they had suffered the most heinous betrayal in the world.

Furthermore, he immediately prepared to use the "bird in a cage" technique to severely punish these traitors, and even considered killing a few of the disloyal members from the branch family as a warning to others, so that the traitors would know the consequences of betrayal.

Of course, Hyuga Hizashi, the newly appointed head of the family who had only been in power for less than two months, was not the one who planned to do so. He had not yet become a monster of power, and although he was the head of the family, he did not have real power. The current power was held by the elders of the main family. In addition, he still had a good relationship with his younger brother. Therefore, Hyuga Hizashi opposed the use of extreme measures.

However, the words of this powerless patriarch were utter nonsense, and the elders of the Hyuga main family did not listen to them at all, and were ready to take action immediately.

Then, a situation arose that filled these guys with despair and terror.

The Caged Bird Technique proved ineffective against these rebels, and the branch family members, led by Hiashi Hyuga, simply removed the Konoha ninja headbands they always wore.

The reason why the branch family liked to wear these ninja headbands was to cover the ugly Caged Bird Technique seal on their foreheads. Therefore, the main family did not notice that their Caged Bird Technique had disappeared, since they usually wore them with their foreheads covered.

So when his forehead was now revealed to be clean and bright, with no trace of the ugly curse marks, it shocked the entire main family, followed by extreme fear.

After all, this means that the conditions under which the main family has always held the power of life and death over the branch family and has always been superior have been completely broken, and their good days have been forcibly ended.

This is something the main Hyuga family's carnivores could never have imagined or accepted, because it means they would lose their high and mighty status and the legal right to take everything from the branch family.

On the spot, an elder broke down, immediately shouting and yelling, his emotions extremely agitated. He angrily denounced the branch family members for betraying their ancestors and the Hyuga's ideals, daring to abandon the Caged Bird Technique that protected the Hyuga family, calling it unforgivable.

Furthermore, they directly accused the Hyuga clan of selfish acts like splitting up the family, claiming that it would lead them to utter ruin and that from now on, anyone could steal the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, making the Hyuga clan a target for the entire ninja world.

In short, the Hyuga family's act of releasing the Caged Bird Technique is a heinous crime, a crime that will lead the Hyuga family to their deaths, making them the eternal sinners of the Hyuga family!

This is what is meant by moral blackmail, or pointing fingers at others from a moral high ground.

To be honest, these old men are quite eloquent and persuasive. They made many people in the family panic and realize that they were wrong.

In fact, this is the case for most ninjas. Few ninjas are good at speaking and expressing emotions, and even fewer can use their eloquence to leave people speechless and make them agree with what they say.

It can only be said that ninjas are often quite easy to fool.

However, given the current situation, the elders of the Hyuga main family are destined to be disappointed, because the Otsutsuki people on the moon have directly shown their strong aggression, directly criticizing and condemning the words of the Hyuga main family, and ruthlessly trampling on the reasons why the Hyuga main family stands on the moral high ground.

Putting everything else aside, the elders of the main family kept saying that the Caged Bird Technique was to protect the Hyuga clan, which was fiercely refuted by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

Foreigners can be deceived, but the Moon Otsutsuki cannot be deceived, because the Moon Otsutsuki possesses the original text of the Caged Bird Technique. This technique simply guarantees that when the subject dies or their Byakugan is taken away, the technique will automatically activate and destroy the Byakugan. This technique does not forcibly control the subject, nor is it impossible to remove once it is planted.

In fact, this technique can be dispelled. The Otsutsuki clan members on the moon only plant this technique on their clan members when they go out to travel, and it will be dispelled when they return, thus ensuring the safety of the Byakugan.

The creator of this technique was Hamura Otsutsuki in his later years. He invited his elder brother, the Sage of Six Paths, to work together to create this technique. It is an extremely sophisticated technique, an ultimate technique that is extremely close to Yin-Yang Release.

It can be said that in its early stages of creation, it was an extremely perfect technique, which is still used by the Otsutsuki of the Moon to this day.

The Hyuga clan originally obtained this technique, but a thousand years later, it has become the Caged Bird Technique, which is obviously abnormal. Therefore, the Otsutsuki clan of the moon bluntly exposed this deception, pointing out that the change in this technique was clearly the truth that the main Hyuga family wanted to completely control and enslave the branch family. Judging from the current situation of the Hyuga family, the main family has been very successful and has deceived the branch family for many years, successfully turning the Hyuga clan into an internal caste system.

When these truths were revealed, the moral blackmail by the elders of the Hyuga main family collapsed on its own and even suffered an extreme backlash—the branch family members, upon learning the truth, were not only shocked but also filled with extreme anger: anger towards the Hyuga main family, anger at being deceived for countless years, and anger at being enslaved for so many eras.

This anger was ignited at that moment, and even Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch family, could not suppress it.

Today is destined to be a day of disaster for the Hyuga main family.

However, this is also a day of rebirth for the Hyuga clan. From today onwards, the Hyuga clan will be able to cast off the heavy shackles of the past and officially begin a brand new life that belongs to them.
