Ninja World: Pass Fire from Konoha

In the 22nd year of Konoha, the smoke of the First World War has completely receded, and all the major ninja villages are seizing the time to cultivate themselves and recuperate.

Konoha Village, the gate of the ninja school.

"Hinata-kun, see you tomorrow~"

"Kuntaki-san, goodbye~"

With a gentle smile on his face, the boy waved goodbye to several young and beautiful girls in his class.

He was dressed in white clothes, and his short, fine hair was parted from his forehead, revealing a smooth and full forehead.The slightly childish face has clear features and a gentle smile, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

Under the slightly shy gazes of the girls, Hinata Untaki's back slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

Not long after, he returned to the clan's mansion.

He raised his head and glanced at the word "Hyuuga" on the plaque above the door. Hinata Untaki still had a smile on his face.

As soon as you step into the mansion, an inexplicable atmosphere hits you, making you feel physically and mentally depressed.The faces of the adult tribesmen who were coming and going were all indifferent. Even if they forced a smile when they met, it was extremely unnatural.

It seems that everyone is trapped in a cage. Although they are protected to some extent, it also means that they will have to live in the shadow of the cage for the rest of their lives.

After walking along the corridor for a few minutes, he stopped in front of the wooden door of an ordinary-looking room.

open the door.

"Mother, I'm back."

After changing his shoes, he walked on the wooden floor and walked toward the room amidst the squeaking sound.

"Taki-kun, you worked hard today."

"The food is ready, come and eat quickly."

Her mother, Haruko, was an ordinary genin. Neither her personality nor her talents were suitable for the path of a ninja. Therefore, after retiring from the army, she became a housewife, running a small daily necessities shop and taking care of her children. Family life.

My grandparents were killed in battle many years ago, and my father was killed in a ninja mission shortly after Hinata Untaki was born. Although he left behind a considerable amount of assets, the life of an orphan and a widowed mother was always not so good. easy.

But fortunately, the only son is very up to date.

At a young age, he showed amazing ninja talent, coupled with the surname "Hinata".

Therefore, no one dared to provoke them all these years, which made Haruko happy for a while, but the smile on her face today was a little forced.

Looking at her son who was eating quietly, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

The eldest son of the clan has turned three years old. Tomorrow...

Thinking of this, the sadness in her eyes deepened.

Opposite Haruko, Hinata Untaki seemed not to see anything. After finishing his meal, he said "I'm full" and got up and walked back to the room.

In the dim room, Hinata Yutaki first lit the candlestick, then sat at the desk, opened his schoolbag, and took out a book called "The Will of Fire".

Under the bright candlelight, he opened the book and read the description at the beginning, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout."

"The Will of Fire, interesting..."

"I just don't know how your fire compares to mine?"

……

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Hinata Untaki slowly got up. After a simple breakfast, with his mother's complicated look on his face, he opened the door and walked towards the central training ground.

The journey was quite deserted. As a solemn ceremony held by the Hyuga clan every other generation, the participating younger generation branch family members had already arrived at the ceremony location under the leadership of their fathers and were quietly waiting for the arrival of the "sacred moment".

After all, there are only a few clan members like Hinata Untaki who arrive only five minutes before the ceremony begins.

The central training ground is a large training ground that is extremely spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people training at the same time.

Normally, countless Hyuga ninjas would practice here, but today, it was quiet. Dozens of children from separate families, ranging from 8 years old to 3 years old, were standing here quietly under the leadership of their parents. .

As for the older children from separated families, they did not appear because they were no longer needed.

Different from the complicated expressions of their parents, these children who are still 3 or 4 years old only have curiosity about the people around them. Even the older children know what is going to happen next. But it's a little heavy.

How can a bird that is not trapped in a cage know the value of freedom?

He found a random spot and stood there, Hinata Yuntaki waited quietly. Unlike other children, there was a trace of undetectable expectation in the depths of his calm eyes.

Five minutes later, as the appointed time arrived, a middle-aged man in loose robes, holding a shy boy of about three years old, slowly walked out of the gate of the central training ground. Come in.

The man's face was peaceful. Unlike all the members of the Hyuga branch who wore forehead protectors around him, his forehead was so smooth that it was so clean that it was a bit dazzling.

Seeing the man's arrival, all the branch family members lowered their heads. Although the children also bowed and saluted at the instruction of their parents, they still couldn't help but look at the boy standing next to the clan leader out of the corner of their eyes.

Although the boy was a little shy in the face of so many eyes, he still pretended to be calm and tried to look mature.

After looking around to make sure that all the children of the branch families who needed to be carved with curse seals were present, the man said solemnly:

"Today is the third birthday of Hinata Hiashi, the heir of my Hyuga clan. It is also the time for the children of the branch family to carve the sacred curse seal 'Caged Bird'!"

"Protecting the clan is the duty and responsibility of a branch clan member. It is also an important reason why our Hyuga clan has gradually become a wealthy family in Konoha from its establishment to the present."

"The curse seal will protect you so that you will not become the target of ninjas from other villages when you go to the battlefield in the future."

"Now, the children whose names I have read please come forward one by one, and I will carve the sacred seal for you."

"First place, Hinata Hizashi."

When his name was read, the boy who was now at the front of the crowd trembled, then lowered his head and walked up to the clan leader without saying a word.

Looking at his son in front of him, the man's eyes flashed with complex expressions of struggle, guilt, etc., but in the end, they turned into calm.

He put his right hand on the boy's forehead, and then his left hand formed a series of complex marks. After a while, when he removed his right hand, a cyan cross mark and two opposite hooks appeared on the boy's forehead. Pattern.

This is the Caged Bird Curse Seal.

From the beginning to the end of the process of leaving, the boy named Hinata Hizashi kept his head down and was eerily quiet.

"Second, Hinata Jiyue."

After calming down, the man continued to read.

The person whose name was read this time was one of the few girls present among the children of the separated family, and she was also the oldest child.

She has long, straight black hair, and the cute temperament brought by her delicate face is completely destroyed by her sharp eyebrows. At a glance, people feel like they are being pointed at by a sharp edge and subconsciously squinting their eyes.

Compared with other children, her eyes are clear and pure white.

This is an eye roll.

The Hyuga clan relied on the line of succession to become the wealthy clan of Konoha.

The Byakugan, which is not restricted by the caged bird, can see through a wide range of 360-degree angles, and see the meridians, acupoints, and chakra flow in the enemy's body. It can also use chakra to multiply the power of the eyes, and can see within a radius of one kilometer. thing.

This kind of ability makes the Byakugan a strategic weapon in war. Any ambush by the enemy can't be hidden by the Byakugan.

Having "white eyes" at such a young age is enough to prove how outstanding this girl named Hinata Himetsu is.

Among the children of this generation of the Hyuga family, she is the strongest.

Byakugan is the blood inheritance limit of the Hyuga clan. Most of the clan members can open their eyes after practicing to a certain level.

But there is a difference between Byakugan and Byakugan.There is a huge gap between the white eyes that have pure blood and can be opened at a young age or even at birth, and those that require hard work and practice the day after tomorrow.

Although Hinata Jiyue was not born with Byakugan, she successfully opened her eyes when she was one year old, which is considered a gift.

When her name was read, the girl stepped forward expressionlessly, with a coldness on her fair face that could not be seen from thousands of miles away.

The patriarch followed suit, raised his head, and prepared to carve a curse mark on the girl.

But just when his hand was still a few centimeters away from the girl's forehead, the girl's calm eyes suddenly fluctuated, and her body subconsciously stepped back to avoid the man's palm.

At the age of 8, unlike those children who were only 3 or 4 years old, she already knew the true nature of the so-called sacred curse seal of "Caged Bird".

But the village, family, and relatives were all burdened with heavy burdens, causing the girl's originally straight waist to slowly bend.

Originally, she thought she was ready to face all this, but when things came to pass, she was unwilling to accept it.

"Ji Yue!"

In the crowd, the girl's father, a special jounin of the Hyuga branch, shouted sharply.

There was pain and guilt in his eyes, but this was the only thing he could do.

Branch family members who do not want to be engraved with the title of "Caged Bird" will suffer extremely terrible punishments.

The father's words made the fluctuations in the girl's eyes gradually subside, and the fire deep in her eyes was completely extinguished at this moment.

She bowed her head.

In the end, he accepted his fate.

After the girl finished, the next one was Hinata Untaki.
