Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"Shirt, do you know what happened?"

Even as a veteran jounin of the branch family, Hinata Wada would rarely be called to Hizashi's house at night to perform rituals.

Another ninja from the branch who was also a jounin, Hinata Shan just shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know, I just came after receiving the notice."

The veteran ninjas of the two families looked around at them, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled by the strange combination of people in the room.

Two of them, one of whom is an elite Jonin with great military exploits, and the other is the squad leader of the ANBU, can be said to be the most trustworthy mainstay of Hyuga Hizashi in the branch clan.

Compared with them, the identities of other people seemed quite inconsistent.

Hinata Sakura, a middle-aged female ninja who has officially retired and is currently responsible for looking after the logistics of the branch. Before retiring, her strength was only a chuunin. Because her left arm was cut off in the battle, she retired honorably.

Hinata Kaoru, an eight-year-old girl who was suddenly promoted to be a guard, but was a bit strange to people.

Hinata Haru, an ordinary chuunin, works as a janitor at the Hinata house, or to put it mildly, is responsible for guarding the Hinata house.

Such a magical combination was called to Hinata Hizashi's study together.

How to avoid making people suspicious?

It's not like performing a mission either.

conversation? How can we ask so many people to talk together? They are not familiar with each other.

Except for Hinata Kaoru who couldn't hide his excitement and smiled which made them think deeply, the rest were completely confused.

Until Hinata Hizashi pushed the door open and walked in.

As for Hinata Yuzuru, he was following him. After Hinata Hizashi pushed the door open, he closed the door. The white veins of his eyes were exposed, and he stood by the door with a smile, pushing up his glasses and talking to them. Say hello.

Just the act of opening the Byakugan made several experienced ninjas subconsciously become nervous.

"Hizashi-sama." Several ninjas lowered their heads with different thoughts and said hello.

Hinata Hizashi nodded solemnly and walked to them. He was silent for a while. Just when several people's hearts were about to rise to their throats, he suddenly spoke.

"Hinata Shirt, Hinata Wada."

"Hi!"

"A year ago, you were punished with a caged bird by the clan because you gave priority to saving the members of your branch family on the battlefield. Is this true?"

Hinata Shan and Hinata Wada looked at each other, lowered their heads in silence, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

"Half a month ago, you had a drunken conflict with a chuunin of the clan, and said that if it weren't for the sacrifice of the branch family, you would have died on the battlefield. Therefore, you were reprimanded by Lord Rizu, and were fined and punished. , giving a serious warning, is this true?"

The two of them were silent and nodded, but this time they didn't even answer.

Hinata Hizashi looked at them indifferently, then looked at Hinata Sakura, his tone was still calm: "Last month, you publicly expressed your dissatisfaction to the clan, thinking that the clan's attitude towards the maids was too domineering. Is this true?"

"It's true." Hinata Sakura was already over forty years old at this time. As an old man, she had seen too many things in the Hinata family. Even Hinata Hizashi would not punish a person who dedicated his life to the family at will, even for this A disabled old woman who gave up an arm, even though she may have resentment towards the Zong family.

"Three months ago, you had a quarrel because you refused several Jonin requests for supplies from the clan. Afterwards, you complained privately about unfairness and was reprimanded by Elder Hyuga for this. Is this true?"

"true."

Hinata Sakura's neck was covered with stems, and her long black hair was mixed with silver threads. However, her old face, which was full of wrinkles even after she was in her forties, had an unruly look that was rare in a divided family.

Hinata Hizashi turned to look at Hinata Haru: "A year and a half ago, you were beaten up because you refused to go out in violation of curfew by several clan ninjas, and you were not compensated afterwards. Is this true?"

"That's not true..." Hinata has a kind appearance in spring. To put it simply, he is an honest person at first glance.

He smiled naively and said softly: "Master Rizu asked them to apologize."

"Half a year ago, your second son was labeled as a caged bird. When he was ridiculed by the clan's playmates, you reprimanded several people in order to protect the child and later came to apologize for it. Is this true?"

"It's true." Hinata's spring smile dimmed a little.

Hinata Hizashi glanced at Hinata Kaoru, and saw that she glanced at Hinata Yuzuru from time to time. He shook his head slightly and ignored her.

"Not only have you been like this in recent years, but in fact, you have been punished or warned many times before due to major or minor conflicts with the Zong family. Am I wrong?"

After Hinata Hizashi finished speaking, several ninjas nodded indifferently or calmly in acceptance.

"You...are eager to get rid of the caged bird, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several ninjas changed. They subconsciously opened their eyes and raised their hands slightly, almost unconsciously, in a defensive posture.

Only Hinata Sakura, who only had one arm, smiled coldly and looked very calm about this.

"Master...be careful what you say." Even Hinata Spring, who has always been kind to others and low-key and tolerant, did not dare to accept these words, but said solemnly: "We are absolutely loyal to the Hyuga clan and have no treason. "

"What's more, the caged bird... is our fate." Hinata sighed in spring and said solemnly: "Accepting fate is what people from the Hinata family should do."

"But what if I told you...fate can be broken?"

The one who made the sound was not Hinata Hizashi.

But Yuzuru Hinata.

At this time, he gently took off the hair tie on his forehead.

Several ninjas subconsciously looked at his forehead, but found that the originally cyan lines looked a little dim at the moment - this was absolutely impossible, even if they died, the lines would not become lighter in color.

Hinata Kaoru held her breath, and at this moment, she finally understood the reason why Hinata Yuzuru covered her head with a hair tie.

She looked at the lines on his forehead with joy, longing, and enthusiasm, clenching her fists unconsciously, and then, her eyes looked at Hinata Yuzuru, and she pursed her lips longingly.

The rest of the people also realized something quickly or slowly at this time.

Hinata Sakura's face changed drastically. She subconsciously reached out to touch Hinata Yuzuru's forehead. Although Hinata Yuzuru did not dodge, she still trembled and retracted her hand before touching her.

"Hizashi-sama..."

Several ninjas turned their heads and looked at Hinata Hizashi.

Hinata Hizashi sighed, but with a complicated emotion, he slowly said: "I did not do this."

"What do you mean?" Several ninjas looked at Hinata Yuzuru, who was only as high as his waist, with astonished eyes.

Hyuga Yuzuru just smiled and tapped his forehead lightly with his finger: "If the so-called fate you talk about is to be born in the Hyuga branch family and receive the brand of caged bird."

"From today on, your fate is over."

Hinata Yuzuru picked up the hair tie again and tied it slowly while looking at the people in front of her with burning eyes.

"Right here, think about it."

"Die as a caged bird."

"Still waving those once broken wings...and flying."

Almost as soon as the words fell, several ninjas were still in panic and were not sure what was happening in front of them.

Hinata Kaoru knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply: "I do!"

It's almost like a proposal.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and stretched out his hand to form a seal, and then gently pressed his right hand on her forehead.

"Sealing Technique·Flying Bird."

The dark sealing technique spread and disappeared.

Hinata Xun stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently touched his forehead.

I can feel it...

"The technique does not take effect immediately. Depending on the individual's physique, it will take up to a year."

"After the technique is completed, the caged bird will not disappear immediately, but it will no longer have the same power as before. It will only maintain weak contact to avoid being discovered by the clan."

After Hinata Yuzuru reminded a few basic information about the technique.

Surprisingly, it was Hinata Sakura who spoke first: "Please let me try it first."

She couldn't wait and knelt down on one knee. Even with her height as an adult, she could still look directly into Hinata Yuzuru's eyes.

On his wrinkled face, those white eyes were still shining with the dazzling light of hope. With a gentle smile, the old man said softly: "Master Yuzuru, please."

She lowered her head.

After Hyuga Yuzuru repeated the seal, he used the sealing technique again.

After a long time, Hinata Sakura stood up slowly, covering her forehead, looking at the other three ninjas of the Hyuga clan behind her, and nodded heavily.

She stood aside in silence, not knowing what she was reminiscing about. For a long time, she brewed a gentle and beautiful smile, covering her vacant left arm, as if she was saying goodbye to something softly.

Hinata Shiro and Hinata Wada looked at each other for a few seconds and nodded in unison.

Hinata Yuzuru, who repeated the sealing technique twice more, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hinata Haru, and said with a smile: "Senior Haru."

Hinata stretched out her hand to touch her forehead tremblingly: "Can I..."

He wanted to say, let him think about it again, think about it again.

This is not just as simple as releasing the caged bird!

If the clan finds out, he is a traitor and will die!

My two sons, my wife...

He suddenly raised his head, only to find that Hinata Hizashi looked calm and didn't even look at him, and Hinata Yuzuru just smiled without urging.

but.

Hinata Wada, Hinata Shirt, Hinata Kaoru, and even Hinata Sakura all cast sharp eyes at him at this moment.

He suddenly realized that he could no longer refuse.

Those birds that have determined to break free from the cage will never be allowed to be strangled to death in the cage before they can spread their wings and fly high.

His eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he spoke softly in a hoarse voice: "I, I accept it."

He knelt down on one knee, but until the spell took effect, he felt only fear and uneasiness in his heart.

"Spring-senpai." Hinata Yuzuru patted his shoulder gently.

Hinata raised her head uneasily in spring.

"If you don't know what to do or where to go...just watch."

Hinata Yuzuru's slightly childish voice, at this moment, carries a power that no one dares to ignore.

He smiled, as if there was no problem in front of him that could trouble him, and the gentle gaze in his eyes did not change at all because of Hinata's wavering and hesitation in spring.

"Today, we take a step, not because we can cross thousands of mountains and dangers with just one step, but because if we stop where we are, everything will end before it begins."

"If you're afraid to move forward, just watch."

"I will make a way in the darkness where there is no hope, and use a little spark to burn away the weeds in the mountains."

"I will personally step onto the mountain top, embrace the evening breeze, tear apart the dark clouds, face the bright moon, and spread my wings to fly."

"If you are afraid of mountains and late nights, please watch me silently."

"There is no need to reject all this because of confusion at this time, because..."

"Birds are born to fly."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.
