Naruto's Destiny and Future

Chapter 8 Caged Bird

After a long time, Hizashi, who was paralyzed on the ground, finally came to his senses and led Neji out as if resigned to his fate.

When Neji followed his father to the family ancestral hall, several members of the clan were already waiting with their hands in their sleeves and their eyes closed.

Seeing Hizashi and his son, one of the clan members came out and stretched out his hand to take Ningji's left hand with an expressionless face, intending to take him to the room. However, Hizashi, who held Ningci's right hand, refused to let go for a long time. .

It seems that he has experienced many such incidents. One of the elders took out his right hand from his sleeve, stood in front of him, and said threateningly: "Hizashi! Understand your identity, remember your mission! Don't force me ,otherwise……"

Looking at the Zong family who were about to take action, Hizashi's face flashed with a series of complex emotions such as hatred, entanglement, sadness, etc., but in the end he closed his eyes in pain and let go of his hand.

Looking at the painful expression on his father's face, Neji finally realized that something important seemed to be leaving him.

"Father!"

Neji called out anxiously and stretched out his hand to hold his father, but in the end he couldn't grab anything.

After being dragged into the ancestral hall, Neji looked around in fear. He saw that the dark room was filled with various scrolls, and the walls were covered with strange runes. Coupled with the flickering candlelight, the whole room was filled with light. There is an eerie and terrifying atmosphere that makes people have the urge to flee immediately.

As we walked deeper into the room, this instinct became stronger.

Looking at the eerie room and the cold and ruthless elder, Neji tried to escape several times, but was ruthlessly suppressed by the other party.

Just when Neji was flustered and at a loss, he was taken to a piece of paper. The elder sitting there said something expressionlessly, with an unquestionable tone in his tone.

"Close your eyes, you'll be fine soon!"

"Ah?" Neji was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded in fear: "Yes!"

Looking at the elders playing with various tools, Neji gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, a slight sting came from his smooth forehead, as if someone was carving something?

Is it a seal?

Neji, who already knew something about the ninja world, was making uneasy guesses, and the answer would soon be known.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden burning and stinging sensation on his forehead. Neji could clearly feel something on his forehead!

"Okay, let's get out!"

Upon hearing this, Neji quickly opened his eyes, glanced at the elder who was packing his tools, and ran out as if running for his life.

When he walked out of the room, he saw Hizashi waiting anxiously.

Neji ignored the Zong family members who were waiting for him and asked bluntly: "Father, what did that old guy carve on my forehead?"

"Neji, let's... talk about it when we get back!"

Seeing that his son's originally smooth forehead had cyan cross marks and two reverse hooks, Hizashi clenched his gums and clenched his fists, his face full of anger, veins on both sides of his eyes were exposed, and his white eyes opened unknowingly. .

The elders of the clan didn't notice it at all, as they seemed to have been used to it for a long time. They turned around and left suddenly, just putting their hands in their sleeves as usual.

Looking at his father who might go berserk at any time, Neji said worriedly: "Father, let's go home!"

For a long time, Hizashi, who was on the verge of bursting out, slowly suppressed his anger. He reached out and took out a bandage from his arms, wrapped it gently around Neji's forehead, then held his small hand with his big hand, turned around and left.

On the way back, the father and son bowed their heads in silence, and the people they met along the way sighed helplessly after seeing the change in Neji.

When will this damn fate end?

"Ah~"

After returning home, the father and son habitually sat on the corridor, and then sighed in unison, casting a gloom over this originally simple and happy family.

After a long time, Hizashi, a father, broke the silence and said: "Neji, there are things I should tell you."

"Is it something important? Father!"

Neji has always been puzzled about the bandage on the head of the branch, and even asked Hizashi, but today, he is about to get the answer.

"Yes, this is very important, you must remember it." Looking at his curious son, Hizashi sighed helplessly.

"Well, I will definitely not forget it!" Although he didn't know what it was, Neji solemnly made a promise.

Looking at his son with a solemn face, Hizashi organized some words and said sadly: "The Hyuga clan is divided into the clan and the branch. The clan is responsible for protecting and promoting the Hyuga clan. The clan is the guardian of the clan. , responsible for protecting the clan. Each generation of the clan can only have one heir, and the remaining heirs will automatically become branch families and be engraved with the Caged Bird Curse."

"And the current patriarch is my brother. We are twins. Because I was born a few minutes later, I became the branch of the family."

It was the first time that he had such a comprehensive understanding of the family system. Neji was shocked and asked: "Is it just because you were born a few minutes late that you became a branch family?"

"Yes!" Hizashi said through gritted teeth with a face full of grief: "Not only that, the Zong family can also use the caged bird to destroy the brain nerves and Byakugan of the branch family, thereby controlling the life and death of the branch family."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean that the life and death of the branch family are in the hands of the Zong family? Why does the family have such a ruthless system?" Neji's eyes widened in shock, with fear on his face.

He finally understood why his father and those in the branch family were always so unsmiling and sad.

When you know that your life and death are in the hands of others, especially in this ninja world where wars are constant and lives can be lost at any time, there is nothing more desperate than this.

That is a kind of despair that is worse than death!

After a long time, Neji gradually recovered from the shock and asked Hizashi in vain: "Can this curse seal be broken?"

Hizashi was silent and didn't speak. He didn't want to say anything and didn't know how to say it, so he could only respond with silence.

Although Hizashi didn't say anything, Neji already knew the answer, silence was the answer!

……

Ever since Elder Kurama set the limit, Neji hasn't had that real dream for a long time.

But that night, the mentally shocked Neji had that long dream again, and it was still the same man in the dream.

Nothing, nothing to do!

He always wants to do something but doesn't know what to do?

Life is like this, living in a normal environment that others call "everyone is like this".

His most annoying sentence is "Everyone else is like this, what else do you want?".

This is the general situation of the man in the dream.

A very ordinary mortal.

Just when Neji was about to explore deeper, the dream came to an abrupt end.

Although Neji never understood the reason for all this, after a long period of research, he found that his thinking and personality had been subtly changed, becoming more mature and rational, and his mental power had also increased a lot.

Just like a person experiencing two lives at the same time, all growth becomes doubled.
