"Patriarch?!"

Hinata Hinata held Neji's hand, but he had just taken two steps. The patriarch of the clan, Hinata Tenji, who had been standing there with an ugly face, finally reacted. He flashed past and stopped in front of Hinata. The thoughts in his mind were self-explanatory. .

"Step aside!"

Knowing what he was thinking, Rizu's already sad mood instantly became even worse. Regardless of his age and identity, he growled.

"Master, Yunyin's envoy has just arrived in the village. If something happens again at this time, then..."

Although Hinata Tianji's face turned as red as a pig's kidney after being growled by Rizu, he still firmly stood in front of Rizu and at the same time whispered persuasion.

"Then my father's death was in vain, right?"

Just as Hizu was about to push away the stubborn old man in front of him, Hinata Neji, who was being held by Hizu, spoke again and completed the rest of his words.

There was suppressed anger in the childish voice, and the eyes looking at Hinata Tianji were full of disdain for him.

After hearing this, Hinata Tenji ignored his anger and looked down at Hyuga Neji with eyes full of surprise. He seemed to not understand why this child who was only five years old could actually know the ins and outs behind this.

His brain was spinning rapidly, wondering whether the kid in front of him thought of this on his own, or whether someone was guiding him from behind.

If someone was giving advice behind his back, who could it be and what was his purpose?

Compared to Hinata Tianji, who had complicated thoughts, Hinata Hinata was stunned when he heard the words. The pain, regret and other emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time were finally no longer suppressed and showed on his face.

"Neji, my uncle is sorry for your father and you."

Even years later, when facing Neji, he would still be tormented by guilt, regret and other emotions. As the head of the family and his uncle, he knelt down in front of Neji without hesitation and begged Neji. Forgiving Hizashi, not long after his younger brother Hizashi died, his emotions were at their most intense, and naturally it was even more difficult to control.

After a moment of silence, he let go of his nephew Neji's hand, "Plop!" and fell to his knees with a cry, two tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Homeowner!"

The sound of kneeling down also caused the old man next to him to exclaim. He hurriedly wanted to reach out to help him. At the same time, he couldn't help but glared at Hinata Neji who was still standing there and suffered the kneeling. .

At the gate, many elders of the clan who originally wanted to stop Hiashi from seeing Neji showed their magical powers with ugly faces. They were at Hinata's side in an instant. They wanted to reach out and pull Hiashi up, but like Hinata Tenji, He glared at Neji.

"In the eyes of you clan clans, it is appropriate to separate the clan and die for the clan clan,"

Hyuga Neji ignored the eyes of these elders that looked like they could eat him alive. After glancing at their faces, he said in a deep voice that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"It is even more natural to die for the head of the clan. Some of you may even think that this is his honor. But today I just want to say one thing for my father. He died for his brother, and It’s not this ridiculous system of clans and family divisions.”

Perhaps due to the influence of the original person, when he said the last sentence, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Fortunately, after realizing something was wrong and taking a deep breath, he felt that the obsession that had been lingering for two days seemed to disappear after shouting this sentence. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and knelt down on the ground again, facing towards Kneeling in front of him, Hinata's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he kowtowed.

"Although I accept this gift from your uncle on behalf of my father, as a nephew and a junior, the etiquette is at a disadvantage after all. I hope that the master of the family will have more."

After the ceremony, Neji stood up, glanced at the clan elders who were either angry, surprised, or thoughtful, and continued with a calm face.

"My father doesn't owe your clan anything, nor does he owe you, the head of the family, anything. Even if he owes me, he has paid it back with his life. If you still think it's not enough, you can take my life away at any time."

While his eyes swept over everyone, his voice fell and he turned around.

"However, I hope this is all the difference between us. I understand my father, but I'm sorry, I'm not him."

After saying the last words, he faced the rising sun and disappeared from everyone's sight.

. . .

"rude!"

"Arrogant!"

"Insanity!"

. . .

Perhaps it was the strong contrast between Hinata Neji's overly immature face and voice and his last words that shocked the many clan elders present until his figure disappeared in the light of the rising sun. Only then did he finally react.

The system of clan and branch families that has been going on for thousands of years has made them accustomed to the branch family guarding the clan family like a green leaf, so much so that now that a branch family has openly stated that it wants to abandon the clan family, they immediately touch it. To their reverse scale.

"Neji didn't say anything wrong."

Only the head of the family, Hinata Hizashi, who was already resistant to this system and had mixed emotions after his younger brother Hizashi died in his place, felt deeply about Hyuga Neji's words.

"Hizashi doesn't owe me anything. On the contrary, I owe Hizashi a lot."

Getting up slightly staggeringly, Hizu looked at the direction in which Neci disappeared, remembering his nephew's words of "family master" without any emotion before he left, and his eyes were full of sadness that could not be resolved.

Not long ago, he lost his brother, and today, he seemed to have lost his brother's only son and his only nephew again.

"Homeowner."

Hinata Tianji, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth to persuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by the eyes of other elders.

In their view, Nizu is now deeply trapped in the guilt of Hizashi's death, and his current persuasion is just useless.

Moreover, they did not think that Hyuga Neji's words would have any impact on the entire Hyuga clan.

The other party was just a little kid who had just turned five, lost his father, and had been marked with the Caged Bird Curse.

Even if this kid does have good talent, his tough words are tantamount to cutting off the family.

Without the support of the family, especially the systematic training on the use of Byakugan, soft fist and other secret techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years, how far can it grow?

Even if he could guess the real reason behind Hizashi's death, even if he could later make the "declaration" that made them angry and frightened, the kid would still be the kid.

I have been growing up under the wings of my parents and have never seen the true cruelty of this world. I actually naively thought that I could grow up on my own and be able to withstand the wind, rain, monsters, flies and dogs in this world. . .

Taking a step back, even if this kid can really grow into a jounin or even an elite jounin just by relying on self-study, how much trouble can he make when he has been branded as a caged bird?

It’s just another Hyuga Hizashi.

Why bother to stimulate Rizu, who is extremely emotionally unstable, at this time for this brat?
