People in Konoha, starting with a Sen Sen fruit

He also treated his body which had inevitably suffered some injuries due to the high intensity training.

"Thanks……"

Neji smiled.

There, I sincerely thanked Lu Ren.

After Lu Ren's treatment, he really felt a lot more relaxed.

"It's just a small favor, you're welcome..."

Lu Ren waved his hand.

Looking at Neji's forehead which he had deliberately covered with a cloth.

He was a little curious and asked directly: "But can I see your caged bird?"

Although it's a bit presumptuous.

But he was still really curious.

What exactly does the Hyuga clan's caged bird seal look like.

After all, he had mastered a lot of sealing techniques through the resources of the "root".

In this area, I am considered an expert.

Like the caged bird seal, it is also a kind of sealing technique.

"..."

Hyuga Neji's face froze.

The whole person fell silent and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Knowing that Lu Ren didn't mean to laugh at him, he took a deep breath and untied the cloth on his head: "Look if you want!"

There was only a green spell carved on top of its head.

clear and distinct.

It looks quite ugly.

This immediately made Hyuga Neji's originally good-looking appearance decline a lot.

“Isn’t it ugly?”

Hyuga Neji had a blank expression on his face and spoke calmly: "The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has always been coveted by outsiders because of its outstanding insight..."

"So, in order to prevent the Byakugan from being lost outside and to protect the safety of the tribe, the ancestors of the Hyuga developed the caged bird seal."

"Any attempt by others to seize the Byakugan will trigger the Caged Bird Curse, which will directly destroy the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

"Even after death, the Byakugan will be destroyed by the caged bird itself."

There was one thing he didn't say.

Because that involves the secret of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

Birds in cages have defects that cause tiny blind spots in their 360-degree field of vision.

To these Lu people who knew the truth, he said bluntly: "I think the reason why you hate it so much is not just because of this, right?"

"Yes, once the caged bird curse is engraved, one will be controlled by the clan for the rest of his life, and his life and death will not be in his own hands..."

Hyuga Neji clenched his fists tightly.

The young face became somewhat distorted.

His eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness that could not be concealed. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "My father was bound by the caged bird and had to sacrifice himself to serve as a substitute for the head of the main family, Hinata Hiashi. He died in such a miserable way!"

"The incident in the Hidden Cloud Village? I did hear about it!"

Lu Ren nodded.

A series of amazing operations carried out by the F4 of Konoha during the years they have been in power.

He was really speechless.

How powerful Konoha was in the past.

Even today, they are bullied by the Hidden Cloud Village and have no choice but to accept it.

At the beginning, the Hidden Cloud Village, which coveted the Hyuga family's Byakugan, sent people to kidnap the three-year-old Hyuga Hinata, the head daughter of the Hyuga family, under the banner of signing a ceasefire agreement.

He was discovered by the head of the Hyuga family, Hiashi, who shot him dead and rescued his daughter.

As a result, the Hidden Cloud Village turned the tables and refused to admit it.

Instead, he kept saying that it was Konoha that killed the envoy who came to negotiate on behalf of the Hidden Cloud Village, and threatened to force Konoha to hand over the murderer.

Finally, considering that the Third Ninja World War had just ended and their strength had not yet recovered, and then they were severely damaged by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the villagers and ninjas became increasingly war-weary.

The Third Hokage had no choice but to hold his nose and agree to let Hyuga Hiashi, the twin brother of the Hyuga clan leader, die in place of his brother, and hand over his body to the Hidden Cloud Village.

Although peace was temporarily achieved and war was avoided.

It also gave a slight blow to the Hyuga clan, which was a little restless and always wanted to replace the Senju clan and compete with the Uchiha clan.

But in terms of the results, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of Konoha.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

Thinking of my father and my own inevitable fate.

Hyuga Neji was filled with bitterness, and he said quietly: "They are twin brothers, but they were born a little later, and their destinies are so different!"

He asked himself that even if his talent was not as good as Lu Ren's...

She is also far from being comparable to the eldest daughter of the Zong family who has mediocre qualifications, a cowardly character, and absolutely no talent.

He had no ambition to become the head of the Hyuga clan, he just wanted to escape the cruel fate of the branch family.

But the Hyuga clan has passed down the caged bird curse from generation to generation for thousands of years.

But it seems like an insurmountable chasm.

Tied him tightly.

Like a bird in a cage.

You can never achieve true freedom.

"Any clan rules, no matter what the original intention is."

Extend your right hand.

Touched Hyuga Neji's caged bird curse seal.

After using his chakra to sense the complex technique inside, Lu Ren said calmly: "If we remain unchanged, clinging to the past and not changing, we will inevitably decay..."

The same goes for a caged bird.

As time went by, although it also protected the safety of the Hyuga branch family members, it also became a shackle that those branch family members could not get rid of.

Make them like birds in a cage.

Although they are protected to a certain extent, they can never gain true freedom.

No one wants their destiny to be controlled by others.

With the subtle manipulation of chakra.

Without stimulating the curse, Lu Ren carefully examined the bird in the cage and slowly withdrew his right hand.

Looking at Hyuga Neji who was in front of him with a depressed mood and full of reluctance.

Lu Ren fully understood the other party's feelings, and said with emotion: "The absolute power to control the life and death of others will inevitably lead to arrogance among the leaders of the clan. With the subtle influence of generation after generation, they will gradually deviate from the original intention of their ancestors..."

"Over time, the main family will inevitably treat all the members of the branch family as slaves."

It's been a long time.

The members of the Hyuga branch family are like servants, and they protect the main family from generation to generation.

In order to ensure the continuation and inheritance of the family, it is not wrong for the branch family to be responsible for protecting the main family.

But the main family 2.5 should also lead the Hyuga clan to become stronger, so as to protect the entire clan and make the lives of the clan members better and more dignified.

This obligation should be relative.

But since the clan holds absolute power, problems are bound to arise.

There is no doubt that the overly rigid and inflexible system of inheritance by the eldest son of the clan leader can certainly ensure the stability of family power during the transition from the old to the new.

But if the head of the main family is too incompetent, it will inevitably lead to the decline of Hyuga.

So, the incident like Hyuga Hizashi happened.

If the head of the family, Hyuga Hiashi, had strength no less than that of a "kage" and was someone that the higher-ups could not underestimate, he should have a tougher character and be less weak.

Who among the Konoha high-ranking officials dares to force the Hyuga clan like that?

"You're right……"

Tie the cloth strips again.

Cover up the ugly caged bird curse.

Looking at the blue sky, watching the birds flying freely.

Hyuga Neji couldn't help but feel a little envious, and said with some self-mockery: "But this is my fate... No matter how hard I try, I'm destined to be unable to break free!"

"That may not be the case. Your caged bird... maybe I can unlock it for you!"

.......

Chapter 122: Mini Wooden Clone, the Disintegrated Caged Bird

"Untie the caged bird?"

on the lawn.

Hyuga Neji looked at Lu Ren who said something shocking, without any excitement.

He looked directly at the other person and said quietly, "Over the long years, it's not that no one in the Hyuga clan has thought about freeing the bird from the cage, but no one has succeeded. On the contrary, everyone has paid the price with their lives..."

He didn't believe at all that Lu Ren could do it.

After all, no matter how powerful the other party is, he is only ten years old.

It is impossible to free the bird from the cage that has been binding the Hyuga branch for thousands of years and no one has ever been able to escape.

Perhaps, only a strong person like the Third Hokage could have such a possibility.

But, that's just a possibility.

Whether it can be done or not is another matter.

"Well, most people can't solve it..."

Lu Ren nodded: "Your curse seal is not only connected to the visual nerves, but also to the brain nerves of the human body. As long as the practitioner gently forms the seal, the spell can be activated in an instant..."

"I can make you, the branch families, miserable, or I can kill you instantly!"

"And it has more than one condition for automatic triggering. If someone forcibly removes the caged bird curse, the complex spell will automatically start!"

He had previously conducted a thorough inspection of the caged bird curse.

This is indeed a terrible, unsolvable and hopeless curse.

It is very complex and extremely cruel, and is closely related to the brain nerves.

At least, even if there is a strong person who is proficient in sealing techniques and is willing to remove the caged bird curse for the Hyuga branch family, it is not certain that he will succeed. Even the slightest carelessness may lead to the death of the person being cast.

"As expected of a disciple of the 'Medical Master'..."

Neji looked at Rikuto in surprise: "It's just a quick check, and you can understand so much!"

"But in this way, you should be able to understand more deeply that it cannot be solved!"

He gave a wry smile.

There was inevitably a gloomy look on his face.

If this curse could be broken so easily, it wouldn't be called a "bird in a cage".

"External forces are generally difficult to resolve..."
