Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Oh, it's Qu Feng. You're out so early? Looks like yesterday's battle was easy."

Heejin said half-jokingly.

"No, no, I just had a good rest. By the way, who is this?"

Qu Feng smiled and then asked.

Xizhen turned to look at the man beside her, who had kept his head down the whole time.

Seeing this, Xi Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, this is my younger brother Xi Hui."

Then he turned to Xi Hui and said, "This is the Hokage's disciple, the head of the Cloud Clan."

Hinata slowly raised his head and nodded to Toruka: "Hello, I am Hinata Hinata, nice to meet you."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "No need to be so formal, just call me Qu Feng. I'm much younger than you."

Seeing that Toki had said that, Xi Zhen's smile returned, while Xi Hui responded and continued to keep his head down.

He didn't participate in their conversation, but stood quietly to the side, like a servant.

Toki naturally knew why Hiki acted this way; the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Technique was truly a menace.

These two brothers, who were once so close, have ended up acting like master and servant.

All this was to maintain the so-called "grandfather" status.

Xi Zhen felt very pained seeing Xi Hui's appearance, but there was nothing he could do, as it was all decided by his father and the elders.

As the young master of the family, he only had the title; he didn't have any real power and couldn't change anything.

She could only watch helplessly as her younger brother was carved into a caged bird.

He hadn't seen his younger brother smile since he was five years old.

"Xi Hui, you should go home first. Qu Feng and I are having a great chat."

Upon hearing this, Xi Hui bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Lord Xi Zhen."

He then stepped back a few meters and turned to leave.

Seeing her younger brother like this, Xizhen felt as if a knife was cutting into her heart.

No wonder Qu Feng had an annoyed expression on his face when he first saw him.

"I'm sorry for taking the wind; I hope you'll forgive my poor attempt," Xizhen said bitterly.

Qu Feng shook his head: "It's alright. I know how you feel right now, Xi Zhen. I also sympathize with Xi Hui's situation."

The caged bird incident is not a particularly secretive matter in Konoha Village; on the contrary, the Hyuga clan takes pride in it.

They believe that this model can perfectly protect the white eye from being taken away by outsiders.

But they didn't expect that if this continued, the Hyuga clan would only decline further.

In contrast, the Uchiha clan did not create any ninjutsu like the Caged Bird Jutsu because of the power of the Sharingan.

If someone's eyes are gouged out, people will try to get them back.

Otoka had a premonition that if the Hyuga clan continued like this, problems would arise within a few generations.

"Sigh, sometimes I really hate myself. If I weren't so incompetent, how could Xihui have suffered like this..."

"Didn't you ever think about fighting back?"

Upon hearing what Touko said, Hishima slowly raised her head.

"Resistance? How can we resist? Even if I succeed as the head of the family, there will still be elders to restrain my behavior. Resistance is unrealistic."

From Xizhen's words, Qufeng sensed a hint of despondency; this immense pressure seemed to be gradually crushing the person in front of him.

Even the clan leader cannot bypass the elders to issue orders directly; sometimes, the clan leader's power is even less than that of the elders.

This is the malignant tumor that the Hyuga clan has developed into!

Each generation of elders enjoys the care of the branch family, and everything is carried out by the branch family.

They can enjoy wealth and luxury simply by lying in bed. How could they possibly give up such a life?

The lives of the family members were worthless in their eyes, and they were used as slaves at will.

Hashirama had also wanted the Hyuga clan to change this rule, but the Hyuga refused, saying it was a matter for the clan itself.

Chapter 103 Big news!

Hashirama had also wanted the Hyuga clan to change this rule, but the Hyuga refused, saying it was a matter for the clan itself.

After all, even the Hokage cannot interfere in the internal affairs of various clans; this was a rule established long before the major ninja clans chose to join Konoha.

Although Hashirama was unable to solve the problem of the Caged Bird Seal, he repeatedly warned the Hyuga clan not to treat the branch family members like dirt.

After that, life became a little better for the divided families. After all, no matter what clan you belonged to, if you really angered Hashirama, he would wipe out your entire clan in no time.

Everyone has the utmost respect and awe for the Hokage, so naturally they want to give him face.

"What if your son or daughter also has this caged bird carved on their body in the future?"

The wind's words, like a cone, pierced straight through Xizhen's defenses.

"Will you regret not making the right choice later?"

Xizhen had asked herself this question countless times, but she never found an answer.

He would always comfort himself by saying, "I'm still young, these things are still a long way off."

But as he grew older, this problem became a nightmare, haunting his dreams every night.

“I don’t know… I can’t stand up to nine elders on my own.”

Xizhen was very confused at this moment. The excuses she had been making for herself were easily torn apart by Qufeng today.

Although he had always worked very hard to train in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and various boxing techniques of his clan.

But the more he studied, the clearer he became about the combined strength of the nine elders.

Moreover, the elders each have their own successors, some of whom are even more talented than themselves.

"The important thing is not whether you can or cannot, but whether you dare to."

Xizhen looked at Qufeng and found that he was also looking at her with a serious expression.

Xizhen had a premonition that her future fate might be changed because of the choice she made today.

It seems absurd that things would change because of this seven-year-old boy in front of him.

However, he just felt that the boy in front of him had this ability.

"Of course I dare! As the young head of the Hyuga clan, how can I watch the clan continue like this!"

"I don't want to stand by and watch my children be branded with this humiliating caged bird label!"

After he bravely expressed his true feelings, he looked down and found a hand reaching out to him.

Xizhen looked at Qufeng and found that he was wearing a slight smile.

Without thinking further, he reached out and shook hands.

"I will help you when you need it."

If anyone else had said this, Xizhen wouldn't have believed a word of it, and might even have punched them.

But the person in front of me just won a match against another village yesterday.

Xizhen believed that she was unlikely to win, after all, there seemed to be a bloodline elimination technique that was a level higher than the Byakugan.

This indirectly demonstrates that the Wind-Catcher is superior to oneself.

"If one day, the clan can truly change because of your help, then the Hyuga clan will be your eternal supporters."

Qu Feng was a little confused by what he heard. Why did it sound like he was trying to get people to vote for his chosen village?

But since the ship of friendship has already set sail, the purpose of seeking wind has been achieved.

It's about time we brought up the matter of blood.

If it were any later and there were more people on the street, and someone saw it, the news would spread throughout Konoha Village within a morning.

Shocking! The Hokage's disciple lives by sucking blood!

Shocking! The unknown deal between the young Hyuga clan leader and the Hokage's disciple!

Big news...

Just thinking about obtaining the wind gives me a headache; let's make this quick.

"By the way, Xizhen, I have a favor to ask."

"Don't worry about it, just tell me what you want me to do?"

After talking with Toru for so long, Xizhen regained her confidence and is now radiant.

"It's nothing serious, I just need some blood from you."

I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just a matter of needing some blood. But since it's needed for taking wind, I might as well take it.

"Sure! Should I just cut my wrists? Or what?"

As Xizhen spoke, she was about to make her move!

Qu Feng quickly stopped his crazy behavior: "There's really no need for that!"

Then a small crystal snake emerged from her sleeve and bit Xizhen's arm.

It didn't hurt much; for a ninja, it was like being bitten by a mosquito.

The blood-drawing process was quick; in less than a minute, the snake had turned bright red, like a red crystal, and it looked quite beautiful.

"Is this good?"

"Okay, okay"

Xizhen straightened her sleeves and said, "It was so great to meet Qufeng today. I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."

"It's mainly because you surpassed yourself; I just played a supporting role."

"Haha, anyway, thank you very much."
