Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 2 Preparing to Lie Down

Hinata Mie's emotional changes could not be hidden from Hinata Ningyuan, after all, his eyesight was very good now.

Moreover, he lived in an era of information explosion, where all sorts of information could be taught online, so Hinata Neiyuan could understand the reason for Hinata Mie's emotional changes.

It's simply a case of a loving mother's heart encountering a rebellious son.

The deeper reason behind this is a cultural issue. For example, in the Ninja Village, once a woman gets married, she has to give up her job and career to serve her family wholeheartedly.

With his father away, all his attention was naturally focused on Ning Yuan.

Once Ning Yuan shows any intention of becoming self-reliant, she will feel a lack of self-worth.

The truth is, I'm just too idle, so I always overthink things. I should just find a job.

"I never used to be able to think of so many things in such a short time. My brain seems to be better in this life than in my previous life. If I had this brain in my previous life, I could have chosen Tsinghua or Peking University at will. The lives of the protagonists in those academic novels would be my autobiography!"

Hinata Neji then thought that both Hinata and Neji were very intelligent.

Neji is the oldest student, a super genius, and can even complete the Eight Trigrams Palm technique on his own. Hinata is another top student among the twelve Konoha 12 besides Sakura, who independently solved nine advanced questions in the Chunin Exams.

This is clearly the advantage of the Hyuga clan's bloodline.

"Exceptional eyesight, superb physical skills, and a brilliant mind—no wonder it's the Bloodline Speedrunner series. So many advantages concentrated in one clan, how are ordinary people supposed to survive?"

Moreover, this incredibly powerful clan isn't even the main character; in various wars and great battles, they only play supporting roles.

So here's the question: why?

How can this ethnic group be defined, its system, and its structure?

Hyuga Ningyuan spent his breakfast thinking and concluded that the main reason why the Hyuga clan, despite having a huge advantage, could only play a support role was indeed a problem with their system.

The "caged bird" system forces numerous branch families to grovel under the main family's command. No matter how great their achievements, how talented, or how capable their descendants are, they are ultimately nothing more than dogs that the main family can crush with a single thought.

It's not just about making meritorious contributions; even in business, scientific research, or medicine, your achievements, contributions, and works are not entirely up to you.

All it takes is for the grandson of the main family to say, "Grandpa, I want it."

Tell me, under these circumstances, where does the Hyuga branch family find the motivation to progress, the motivation to innovate, and the motivation to be powerful?

Since striving is futile, all we can do is lie down and give up.

The Hyuga main family has very few members and is passed down through a single line. How many geniuses can be produced by this kind of inheritance?

While geniuses may not be predetermined, roughly 99% of them are born into families that have split off.

If all the geniuses who split up the family are laid down, then the Hyuga family will have no way to improve!

So while everyone else's techniques have evolved from Rasengan to Six Paths Rasengan, with countless version updates, the Hyuga clan is still using the Eight Trigrams Palm, a technique invented by their ancestors during the Warring States period, and the Rotation Palm.

You can't say there's anything wrong with this system, because the Caged Bird Seal did protect the eyes of the branch family and preserved the Hyuga clan.

The Uchiha clan, known for producing geniuses and constantly updating its game, was banned simply because it was too overpowered!

So, the caged bird is innocent, and the main family did nothing wrong?

That's obviously nonsense.

Whether the caged bird is innocent or not is unknown, but the main family is definitely at fault, and their fault lies in the fact that the main family itself did not punish the caged bird.

Only punish those who divide the family property, not yourself; this is called being strict with others and lenient with yourself.

Turning the seal that protects the family into a seal that enslaves the branch families is the act of a despicable person, turning black into white!

"So, I'm going to lie down too!"

After careful consideration, he realized that he did need to lie low until he could deal with the Caged Bird, not only to avoid arousing the suspicion of the main family, but also to guard against Danzo, that old schemer.

After all, this is Konoha, and standing out too much won't do any good.

Moreover, he may have died from overwork in his previous life, so he definitely needs to learn from that experience in this life!

By the way, is Danzo still around?

Hinata Neon recalled the street scene he saw when he left home, and it seemed that the Third Hokage's portrait was already on the Hokage Rock.

That's all right now, Guoying is online.

"Today is your first day of school. Make sure you get along well with your classmates when you get there," Hinata Mie said as she served Hinata Ningyuan a bento box.

Hinata Ningyuan nodded, looking at the bento in Hinata Mie's hand. Speaking of which, the bento she made in the morning was eaten at noon and had already gone cold.

Eating this all the time is probably bad for your stomach!

He was daydreaming again.

I think I saw a Douyin video before that said the incidence of stomach disease in people in rural areas is 80%, which is among the highest in the world.

It might be related to this eating habit.

Opening a fast food restaurant next to the ninja academy should be a very promising business.

I also took a bite of tempura, which is basically fried egg and flour, similar to fried dough sticks. Occasionally, some meat or shrimp are added inside. However, the tempura that Hyuga Mie fried didn't have any meat or shrimp, only diced carrots.

Is your family very poor?

Hinata Ningyuan recalled his past life's memories. He rarely ate meat in his three daily meals, and he didn't often buy new clothes. The training uniform he was wearing now was one that his neighbor had given him.

If you're just wearing old clothes, that might be considered thrifty.

But if a child doesn't even have meat to eat, then the family must be truly poor.

"My father was a Chunin. Chunin can take on B, C, and D-rank missions. The maximum reward for a D-rank mission is 10,000, and I can get 5000. The maximum reward for a C-rank mission is 50,000, and I can get 25,000. The maximum reward for a B-rank mission is 150,000, and I can get 75,000. Even if we take the highest rank as an example..."

His father, Hyuga Toki, was in a Chunin squad. They didn't get any money from Jonin, but because Hyuga Toki's surname was Hyuga, he could get the lion's share. After deducting the village's cut, he could still get about half of the total bounty.

One D-level task per day, earning 5,000 taels a day, which adds up to 150,000 taels a month.

One C-level task per week, 2.5 taels per week, that's 10 taels per month.

One B-level mission per week, 7.5 taels per week, that's 30 taels per month.

30 taels, how much?

A bowl of ramen is 60 taels, which is roughly equivalent to RMB 12, or RMB 1 = 5 taels.

30 taels, which is equivalent to 6 yuan, means that Hyuga Ningyuan's father's monthly income was 6 yuan.

This is definitely high-income earners.

The problem is that this is income under ideal conditions.

In reality, B-level missions generally don't offer a reward of 15 taels, and it's impossible to complete one in a week.

It's important to know that the Land of Waves, a C-rank mission, takes months to complete.

A B-level mission, acting as a caravan guard, takes about half a month to complete, but the reward is only 10 taels. If you do it twice a month, you get 20 taels, which you split with your teammates, leaving you with 10 taels.

10 divided by five equals 2 yuan.

This is the income that Hyuga Toki should have.

Even 2 yuan is not a small amount; it surpasses the income of 99% of the Chinese population.

So here's the question: with such a high income, how come the family is still so poor?

"If the Hyuga family splits up, they won't have to hand over the Heavenly Gold to the main family, will they?" Hyuga Ningyuan thought for a moment. He really didn't know this. Firstly, he was still a child and no one had told him, and secondly, Kishimoto hadn't drawn it.

However, since the Hyuga main family doesn't go on missions, where does their money for food, drink, and shelter come from? They must rely on the branch family to support them.

How was this ratio determined? 50/50? 40/60? Or 70/30?

Surely it can't be 80/20, right?

Although Hinata didn't act like she was very rich and always seemed to be starving, it's probably normal for Hiashi Hyuga, who is used to living a frugal life as a member of the Hyuga clan, to be rich but not show off.

"It's a pity I transmigrated a bit too early; Hinata hasn't been born yet!" Hyuga Ningyuan thought to himself. Right now, the Hiashi and Hizashi brothers are both young men and haven't gotten married yet.

By the way, what was that sound in my ear when I first woke up?

After putting down his chopsticks, Hinata Ningyuan heard the crisp notification sound again.

[Ding! You have completed a food activity. Food experience +1, general experience +1, current level LV1 (1/100)]

Ning Yuan's eyes lit up instantly: "System?"
