Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

Hinata Aya held the signal flare in her hand, her heart pounding wildly.

perhaps.

Without the constraints of her family, she had already expressed her feelings.

But, no!

Thinking of her cold and heartless family, she felt a chill run through her body, inside and out.

Even after today's gathering, it might become very difficult for her to leave the family.

Hey!

After a helpless sigh, she finally started walking towards the tribe's territory.

Moreover, they began the experiment while walking.

I didn't have time during the gathering, but now that I have time, I naturally want to know what the caged bird on my forehead looks like.

Immediately following 19.

After activating her Byakugan, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Although the caged bird is still there, her eye-rolling is now visible from every angle.

This is something only a disciple of the main family can do!

even.

After trying to refine the chakra within his body, he instantly felt a strange sense of exhilaration, without the binding sensation he used to experience when circulating it.

Almost, one could say.

Aside from the caged bird on her forehead, it was also a reminder that she was still under the control of the main family.

But, actually.

She herself was completely unaware of the so-called constraints imposed on her by the caged bird.

"This...it really worked?"

"But how is that possible? How could a caged bird be cracked?"

"Jin-jun wasn't lying. Does he really have the ability to solve the Caged Bird problem?"

"What a terrifying Mangekyou Sharingan technique! No wonder he's an Uchiha who's on par with the Hyuga."

"In that case, it seems..."

"Once Lord Jin's eye power recovers, perhaps I really will be able to deal with the Caged Bird?"

hiss!

Thinking of this, Hinata Aya's heart pounded wildly.

There was excitement, there was hesitation, but mostly there was helplessness.

But she knew only one thing: this matter must never be leaked.

otherwise.

If others were to find out that King Jin possesses this ability, things would become extremely complicated.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

When she returned to the Hyuga clan's territory, her eyes turned cold again, and her whole body tensed up instinctively.

Yes.

This is the case for all branch families within the Hyuga clan.

We must be careful, otherwise we might make a mistake.

If you anger the main family, you won't even know how you died.

only.

As soon as she returned to the gate of her small courtyard, before she could even push the door open, she was blocked by a member of the Hyuga branch family.

"Hyuga Aya!"

"Chief Richa invites you to come."

Hinata Aya's brows furrowed slightly.

But she dared not slack off in the slightest, and could only nod to you before following behind this member of the Hyuga branch family.

Twenty minutes later.

The two went directly to an exquisite courtyard.

Yes.

Even though Hyuga Hizashi was a member of the Hyuga branch family, he was still considered a member of the branch family because he was Hyuga Hiashi's brother and the head of the branch family.

Therefore, in terms of basic benefits, the treatment is naturally not bad.

after all.

Apart from the Hyuga main family, the Hyuga Hizashi family is the largest.

After a while.

She met Hyuga Hizashi in a teahouse.

He knelt behind the tea table, dressed in a black kimono, exuding an imposing aura.

"Hyuga Aya greets the clan leader!" Hyuga Aya bowed and spoke.

Her eyes were full of confusion, clearly indicating that she still couldn't figure it out.

I have no connection with this branch family head. What does he want from me today?

"Yes, Aya!" Hyuga Hizashi said with a smile, "Let's sit down and talk."

Hinata Aya's brows furrowed slightly.

But she didn't say much, and just knelt down opposite Hyuga Hizashi.

only.

She didn't actually drink the tea that Hyuga Hizashi poured for her, but instead asked in a puzzled tone.

"Chief, what brings you here?"

Yes.

She was well aware that someone like herself, from the Hyuga branch family, and just an ordinary Chunin, was a threat.

Under normal circumstances.

She has no right to sit with Hyuga Hizashi.

and so.

It's better to ask first.

Hyuga Hizashi shook his head.

He clearly hadn't expected that this member of the branch family would be in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke up.

"it is good!"

"Since you're in such a hurry, then I'll just ask directly."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have gone to have dinner with your teammates just now."

"However, one of your teammates is the Uchiha clan. You are probably very clear about his situation. He has completely turned against the Hokage."

"As for my Hyuga clan, we will not join any side."

"So as the head of the branch family, I have an obligation to remind you that you should stay as far away from Uchiha Jin as possible in the future."

"Of course, it's mostly me. As someone who also belongs to a branch family, I just wanted to explain this to you in advance so you could be a little prepared."

"After all, the ones who actually make the decisions are the members of the main family!"

"In fact, the clan already knows about your situation and has already made a decision about your future."

"Elder Yangtai's only son, Hinata Yu, will hold his coming-of-age ceremony in a month."

"On the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, you will give it to Hinata Yu's maid as a family parting gift."

"Do not harbor resentment, and do not entertain thoughts that should not be harbored."

"This is the fate of the Hyuga branch family."

"You are like this, and so am I."

"If you really have to blame someone, then blame your bad luck."

"Okay, that's it."

"You can go back now!"
