Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

"Eight Trigrams, Empty Palm Chop!!"

The palm prints, delivered from a distance, tore through the air and collided heavily, the powerful shockwave causing cracks to appear on the ground of the courtyard!

Just as the two forces were locked in a stalemate and gradually dissipating, Hiashi Hyuga quietly raised his finger and activated a strange hand seal.

Whoosh!

The caged bird branded on Feng Qi's forehead sensed the signal and activated on the spot!

Countless grotesque blue veins appeared around the mark, and intense pain and dizziness erupted, filling Feng Qi's mind.

Although it only lasts for a moment, in the midst of a fierce battle, this state of chakra going berserk is undoubtedly quite deadly.

boom!

Feng Qi was hit head-on by the aftershock of Ri Zu's aerial palm strike, and his body flew backward like a rag doll, crashing heavily into the wall of the small courtyard behind him.

"Cough cough."

As Feng Qi regained consciousness, he coughed violently, struggled to his feet, and stood on the pile of rubble, a thin stream of bright red blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The approaching shadows obscured the bright sunlight; Hyuga Hiashi remained expressionless, his eyes cold and indifferent.

"Let's end today's sparring session here."

After saying that, he ignored the injured Feng Qi and did not explain why he suddenly activated the Caged Bird. He turned around and walked straight towards the bewildered Xiao Hua Huo.

This old guy clearly had the upper hand with his empty palm strike just now, yet he still deliberately triggered the Caged Bird Mark.

Just like how they treated Neji when he was a child, this approach serves as a reminder and warning: your innate mission is to support and protect the main family. No matter how talented you are, don't have any dissenting thoughts!

Feng Qi raised his eyes and took a deep look at the arrogant back of the other party. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said through gritted teeth, "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Hiashi."

He raised his sleeves and left the clan's territory without looking back.

Walking along the streets of Konoha, bustling with villagers, and watching the children playing and laughing in the distance, Feng Qi felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Ever since he transmigrated and became a member of the Hyuga branch family, he had wanted to break free from the Caged Bird Seal, a mark comparable to that of a slave, and he had made considerable progress.

Within the Qimen Dunjia formation, which can alter the changes in the world and the relationships of mutual generation and restraint, he can use the chaotic gold rubbing combined with the Yin-Yang, Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams to interfere with his own time, thereby infinitely delaying the activation of the Caged Bird Mark.

Unfortunately, this method has a very obvious drawback: it is too restrictive in terms of scope.

If the caster is not within the Qimen formation, he can be worn down to death simply by using the caged bird technique!

Feng Qi's current range for using Feng Hou Qi Men is about twenty meters. Beyond this distance, his mental consciousness will easily go out of control and collapse.

For a master of taijutsu like Hiashi Hyuga, this distance is almost negligible.

Not to mention that, besides Hiashi Hyuga, there are also the elders of the Hyuga main family who would trigger the Caged Bird Seal!

It can treat the symptoms, but it doesn't address the core issue...

"What a damn troublesome thing."

Feng Qi sighed sadly, took off the ninja headband from his arm and put it on his forehead to cover the caged bird mark.

A gloomy and fierce look flashed across the depths of those pure white eyes.

Rather Stick to your guns.

Hopefully, those clansmen won't be so foolish as to make themselves scapegoats.

Composing himself, Feng Qi casually picked up a toothpick from a roadside shop and put it in his mouth, his lazy and relaxed expression returning.

"They've started fighting! Those two idiotic Jonin are fighting again!"

"Hurry up, get away from those two lunatics!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the front of the street.

Feng Qi looked up and, accompanied by tinkling sounds, saw things flying everywhere...

Pots, pans, and bowls.

Chapter 5 Two Kind-Hearted Fools

In the blink of an eye, the youthful aura tinged with madness spread to those nearby.

Whether by coincidence or not, a small book flew out from a pile of pots and pans and flew straight at Feng Qi.

Feng Qi reached out and gently rotated his palm, easily dissipating the force remaining on the book, then slowly opened it in his palm.

The four large characters "Intimate Paradise" gleamed with a patina.

Yes, this is definitely learning material that only adult males can access...

After glancing at the contents, Feng Qi closed the document again with two fingers together.

"Ow~~~"

At the same time, two figures whose style seemed out of place with their surroundings took large strides and quickly swept overhead.

Kakashi and Might Guy recognized Hyuga Fuuki with a quick glance and simultaneously slammed on the ground, bringing the car to a screeching halt.

"Kakashi, let's leave the outcome of this match for next time. I suddenly have a good idea."

“I don’t care what unexpected things might happen, Kai.”

With just a glance, the two brothers instantly understood each other's thoughts and let out a sinister laugh.

Having reached an agreement, the two immediately adopted serious and earnest teacher expressions and slowly walked towards Feng Qi.

"Oh! What a coincidence, Riki, to run into you here."

Kai greeted them first, giving a thumbs-up and revealing his bright white teeth.

Feng Qi glanced at the two approaching from both sides, his face expressionless, and said calmly, "Kakashi-senpai, Gai-senpai."

He deliberately mispronounced Kai's name and emphasized it a few more times.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village is only so big. Although he is still a young generation, his exceptional talent has enabled him to take on many dangerous missions (most of which he declined). Naturally, he has had contact with older generations like Kakashi.

They were fairly familiar with each other.

"Hey Feng Qi, can you give me back that book?"

Kakashi gently pointed to the "Make-Out Paradise" book in Feng Qi's hand, "You probably didn't see what's inside, did you?"

"I'm quite forgetful."

Feng Qi scratched his head, sighed, and slowly walked forward, extending his arm to hand the notebook to Kakashi.

In that instant, Kai, with a youthful smile on his face, suddenly launched an attack and appeared in front of Feng Qi.

"Leaf Whirlwind Bind!"

Suddenly, he stretched out his arms, passing under Feng Qi's armpits and locking his shoulders. At the same time, he raised both legs and precisely hooked them onto Feng Qi's legs, completely restricting his ability to move.

Feng Qi, who was inexplicably "sticking" to Cheng Liang, twitched his nose and caught a whiff of youthful energy emanating from Cheng Liang's bun hairstyle.

"Kakashi, now's the time!" Guy turned to look at Kakashi behind him.

He had long disliked Feng Qi's casual and lazy demeanor. He was at an age where he could be burning with youthful energy, yet he acted like an old man all day long, devoid of passion.

Therefore, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Kai decided to teach this kid a lesson called "youth"!

Kakashi, the brooding and lecherous man, naturally knew what Guy was thinking, and judging from his actions, he also agreed with this approach.

"coming."

Kakashi vanished in a puff of white smoke.

When he reappeared, he was already crouching down behind Feng Qi!

He formed a mudra with his hands, revealing his straight, taut, and joined index and middle fingers, which he aimed at Feng Qi's budding chrysanthemum.

That is the secret taijutsu technique of Konoha: Thousand Years of Death!

Hey hey.

As they steadily moved towards their destination, a barely perceptible look of smugness appeared on Kakashi and Guy's faces.

However, just as the Thousand-Year Kill was about to hit, a magical array suddenly lit up on the surrounding ground.

Eight gates of transportation, transfer.

Feng Qi and Kai's positions have switched.

With a muffled "plop," Kakashi's fingers felt an unusually tight sensation.

—He successfully pierced through the green bodysuit and struck Kai's ninth gate!

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the scene suddenly became tense.

However, once the secret taijutsu of Konoha, which is said to cause pain like a thousand-year death, is activated, how can it possibly stop?

So, naturally, the blue beast of Konoha was sent flying, turning into a shooting star and disappearing into the sky.

"Kakashi, what the hell are you doing?!"

Kaina's voice, a mixture of grief and bitterness, faded into the distance.

"Oops, I was careless." Kakashi scratched his head and sighed with a hint of distress.

Feng Qi looked intently at the face hidden by the black mask, pondered for a few seconds, and slowly said, "Thank you, Kakashi-senpai."

Guy, who is straightforward by nature, goes without saying. Even Kakashi, who seems aloof and cold on the surface, was willing to cooperate in launching a "youthful" offensive against him, which surprised him a little.

Feng Qi knew very well that their true purpose was not to play a prank, but to let him, who was always lazy and passive, experience a relaxed daily life that was different from the coldness of his family and the shadow of the ninja.

But the mark of the caged bird on his forehead always felt like a sword hanging over his head, making it difficult for him to move forward.

After the sparring session with Hiashi Hyuga just now, this awkward feeling in my heart has become even more profound.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi was taken aback at first, then stepped forward and patted Feng Qi on the shoulder.

Knowing full well the unchangeable fate of the Hyuga branch family, he ultimately remained silent, opened the adult book he had received, and coolly strode away.

What two kind-hearted fools...

Feng Qi collected his jumbled thoughts and put his hands in his pockets.

Just as he was pondering whether to take a nap under the big tree at the beginning or end of the village, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
