Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 554 Caged Bird

The young and sharp Minato certainly would not try to rely on a caged bird to maintain Konoha's stability. He had a different desire for the future than the third generation.

So he took the initiative to say to Rizu: "If Patriarch Rizu wants to completely abolish the system of main and branch families, I will go back and help you find a way to break the caged bird."

Minato took it upon himself to realize that the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique might be able to remove the curse. As Hokage, he gained the support of everyone in the branch clan for this action. They were filled with admiration for the Hokage.

Now this place can be regarded as Minato's large fan-gathering site. Minato's smiling face makes every Hyuga member willing to believe him.

Hizashi, however, shook his head, accepting his fate. He no longer held out for this dream. He only rebelled because he wanted to prevent his child from being deliberately caged.

So, with a hint of resignation, he said, "Once the caged bird's mark is etched, it cannot be erased. As long as our children are no longer harmed by the caged bird, that's all that matters."

Even the Hyuga clan had no way to remove the caged bird, so they no longer had any hope for this curse. Everyone who came here had endured the caged bird for at least ten years, so all they longed for was for their children to be free from control.

As for the rumors that the Zong family was trying to regain their eyes, they would not allow anyone from the Zong family to regain their power. This would cause both sides to lose control of their power again. Only the Zong family without eyes would fear separation.

At this time, Lu Chen stood on the roof and shouted to Minato: "I can try to help you get rid of the caged bird, but I'm not sure if I can succeed."

After all, Lu Chen had previously successfully nullified the seal on the Samsara Eye with the Dark-Dark Fruit, and the Caged Bird might have similar power. After all, they were all taught by the same master.

As these words were shouted, everyone realized that there was actually a person sitting on the roof. Even the Byakugan, who was focused on reconnaissance, did not notice that there was a person sitting on the roof of the Hyuga clan.

After saying that, Lu Chen jumped down from the roof and saw that the Hyuga clan could no longer fight because of Minato's intervention. There was no excitement to watch, so Lu Chen took the initiative to appear here.

Minato was a little surprised when he saw Lu Chen appear, but then he thought that he might really have a way. So he nodded secretly with expectation.

Hiashi looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared and asked, "Who are you?"

Although the Hokage was also here, he thought that the Hyuga family was part of Konoha and it was normal for the Hokage to appear. After all, Minato had won over the vast majority of the Hyuga clan on his side with his performance just now.

Minato was the first to explain, "This is my friend, a very powerful ninja. Even Jiraiya-sensei admits his strength. So when he said that he could help you free the bird from the cage, it really is possible."

After hearing what the Hokage said, everyone in the Hyuga branch family chose to believe it. Someone could actually free the bird from the cage, a nightmare that haunted every branch family.

Minato thought this would be a difficult task, so he took the initiative to ask: "What are you going to do? Do you need my help? I have some knowledge of sealing techniques."

He knows several very powerful sealing techniques, and has mastered forbidden techniques such as the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique. Maybe if he studies the bird in the cage, he can find a way to break it.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not using the sealing technique to break the caged bird. The method I envision is to directly invalidate the effect of the seal."

Although Lu Chen had learned some sealing techniques, they were all based on the basics provided by Orochimaru. Furthermore, he had never actually used them. His style had always been to use his strength.

Minato asked uncertainly, "Will it be effective if the seal itself is nullified?" Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure, but you don't have any good ideas at the moment. Why don't you let me try?"

Then, after seeing Minato fall silent, Lu Chen asked everyone in the Hyuga branch family, "Is anyone willing to give it a try? This is a good opportunity to escape from the cage."

Everyone was hesitant. A caged bird could kill someone if not handled properly. They didn't trust Lu Chen at all. If the Hokage hadn't claimed to know this person, they would have kicked her out of the Hyuga family long ago.

Hizashi mustered up the courage and said, "Then try it on me." Then he looked at Minato with expectant eyes and said, "I hope Hokage-sama can take care of my son."

Lu Chen comforted him and said, "Don't worry, even if I accidentally trigger the curse and kill you, I can still call you back from the Pure Land."

Lu Chen, who possesses the magic of resurrection, has many ways to save people.

This comfort made him even more worried. Had he even thought about what to do after his death? It seemed that this experiment was very dangerous. However, since he had already stood up, he gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to say to Lu Chen:
"Hokage-sama believes in you, so I believe in you too. Please help me get rid of the curse seal."

The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit was activated by Lu Chen, and the black liquid flowed towards Hiashi and wrapped him up.

The power of the fruit began to try to invalidate the seal of the caged bird. Lu Chen noticed that there was some effect but it was slow.

Then the Crimson King emerged, a green chakra coat covering Lu Chen's body, and his eyes radiated golden and purple light.

Under the power of the Samsara Eye, the seal of the caged bird was not worth mentioning at all, and the curse seal attached to Hiashi's brain was immediately removed.

Lu Chen removed the Dark Dark Fruit's wrapping around Hiashi, and Hiashi immediately knelt on the ground after appearing. However, the curse mark on his forehead disappeared.

The others burst into wild shouts when they saw the caged bird on Hizashi being released, and some even shed tears.

"I'll go call the others. We're going to get rid of the caged bird once and for all!"

"very nice."

The elders who had upheld the system of the main family and the branch family understood amidst the eruption of cheers that the system passed down by the family had completely collapsed at this moment. No adult ninja would be willing to be subjected to such constraints.

The marking of a caged bird is usually done at the age of three. No one will accept a caged bird once it's older. Unless one group deliberately uses more force to dominate the other, perhaps the earliest clans had more members.

What remained in Rizu's father's empty eyes was not tears but blood. He felt sad that the family's thousand-year heritage was destroyed in his own hands.

It was Rizu who realized that the changes had already begun. He was a person who could see the situation clearly.
