Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

Just now, when Hiashi was cursing, the caged bird spell stopped being released. Neji seized this opportunity, used the Super Shadow-level Substitution Technique to exchange positions with his clone, and returned to the house.

"Rebellion! Rebellion! You are rebelling! Who do you listen to?!"

At this time, Hyuga Neji struggled to get up from the ground and said word by word:

"listen to me!"

Neji deliberately hunched his body, looking very tired, but his pair of white eyes were unyielding and stared straight at Hinata Hiashi.

"What did you say!?" Hinata Hiashi looked at Neji in disbelief.

I have just been reciting the Caged Bird Curse for more than ten minutes, and my mouth is almost dry. Even an adult should have passed out. But how can this kid still be so stubborn with me?

Is his head made of iron?

"This kid..."

Hiashi looked at Neji who was struggling to get up and was actually a little at a loss.

Seeing Hiashi wavering, Neji knew his chance had come:

"Master Hiashi! What you just said about resisting the caged bird for ten minutes and then acknowledging me as the head of the branch family, does that still count?"

Ningci knew that saying this might anger Hiashi, but in order to be truly independent in the future, he had to seize this opportunity now! If the identity of the head of the branch family could be recognized by the patriarch, then there would be a legitimate reason to win over more branch family members.

Looking at the stubborn and resilient young man in front of him, Hiashi's memory became hazy and he inexplicably remembered his brother, Hyuga Hizashi, who had given his life for him.

"Humph, you are the head of the branch family. You don't need me to acknowledge this."

Hiashi turned around silently and said lightly.

Hearing this, Neji knew that he had already succeeded for the most part. Hinata Dong on the side also looked at Neji in disbelief, and several servants of the branch family also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The patriarch who was known for his stubbornness actually gave in?

Everyone looked in disbelief.

Seeing that Hyuga Hiashi's anger was gradually subsiding, Neji asked tentatively:

"Master Patriarch, do you still remember that day when you promised me that as long as I could perform the Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms, you would agree to any condition I asked for?"

"...Have you thought it through?"

Hinata Hiashi said in a deep voice, his tone much calmer.

So Neji mustered up the courage to ask:

"What Neji wants is simple!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Hinata Dong and continued:

"Ningji wants someone to take care of him!"

Looking at the young and helpless appearance of Neji, Hiashi felt pity.

I thought, after all, he is still a child, maybe it's because he lacks maternal love.

But Neji thought differently:

Although Hyuga Neji is the head of the branch family, the title of head is just for show. Strictly speaking, he is no different from other branch family servants. The only difference is that other servants receive a salary every month and have a legitimate subordinate relationship with Hyuga Hiashi, while Neji receives a living allowance. It's just a nicer name, and in essence, it's a subordinate relationship.

Therefore, although the branch family also has some servants, in theory they all exist to serve the main family. After all, everyone has a bird in a cage, so why should I serve you?

Therefore, if you want to become independent from the main family and establish your own Hyuga clan, you must first make this name famous!

"It doesn't matter! I'll give it to you!"

Rizu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, and then added:

"Then her monthly salary will be deducted from your living expenses!"

"No need for that, clan leader! Neji can use his own money to pay Sister Winter's salary."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi's face changed, but looking at Neji's stubborn look, he just thought he was a little kid who wanted to act like an adult.

I thought, it's good to let you know the cruel rules of the adult world. How can you, a little kid, have so much money to pay Hyuga Dong? You know, as the chief maid of the main family, Hyuga Dong's basic salary is several thousand taels a month! And Hyuga Neji's monthly living expenses are only 10,000 taels.

Thinking of this, Hinata Hiashi showed a sly smile of an adult on his face, thinking, there are only two outcomes for a little brat like you:

First, he had to save money and even go hungry to barely pay Hinata Dong enough salary;

Second, either he is reluctant to pay salary, causing Hinata Dong's salary to be reduced. In the long run, this will inevitably make Hinata Dong feel dissatisfied and he will return to the main family. By then, this little brat may not be so arrogant anymore.

"Okay! Since you're interested in learning management and operation, it's no big deal!"

Hearing this, Hinata Dong was startled at first, but then he turned his surprise into joy and looked at Neji.

Because to her, salary is not important at all. It is really too depressing for her to serve this feudal master in this depressing birdcage every day.

In order to stand up for her, little Ningji endured the caged bird curse for ten minutes. She knew very well what this favor meant to her as she was also a member of the same family. Therefore, even if little Ningji didn't have a penny, she was willing to go.

Hearing this, the other servants of the branch family also looked incredulous, but thinking that they might not get paid, they decided to give it up. After all, life is not just about the fields in the distance, it is more about the immediate survival.

"Hinata Dong, take your Master Neji back! Take good care of him!" After saying that, Hinata Hiashi turned around and left with a few servants.

Before everyone had gone far away, Hyuga Dong immediately knelt over and looked after Neji's injuries:

"Master Neji, are you alright?"

Looking at the worried Hyuga Dong, Neji pretended to be tired and replied:

"It's okay, my head just feels a little dizzy."

In fact, Neji was fine, but now that the atmosphere had come to this, he might as well go with the flow.

"But you, Sister Dong, does your face hurt?"

As he said that, Neji stretched out his trembling little hand and touched it.

Seeing that Neji still cared about her first even though he had a huge headache, Hinata Dong was very moved, and his previous cold attitude melted away.

"Master Neji..." Hinata Dong hugged Neji, held him in his arms, and cried softly.

In his early years, Hinata Dong's parents died on the battlefield. He and his sister Hinata Xia both entered the main family as servants. However, life in the main family became more and more difficult. Although they were all family members, the main family often fought over trivial matters, and even cast curses to punish them, the servants. Hinata Dong had had enough of such a life.

"Sister Dong, you are so big, oh no, you are so warm..."

Neji almost let the cat out of the bag, but he immediately changed his words and resumed his image as a cute and handsome little boy.

"Master Neji, let me carry you home!"

At this time, the moon had climbed up into the night sky, and a silver moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard and shone on Hinata Dong's delicate face.

At this time, Hinata Dong was kneeling in front of Neji. Her perfect curves were highlighted in the moonlight. Her curvy figure made Neji's blood boil. A few strands of hair on her forehead fell down because of the slap from Hiashi just now, which made her look more charming like a young woman.

"Damn it, if you weren't still so young, I would have killed you right there and then," Neji thought.

"No, no need, Sister Dong, I can do it myself..."

Plop!

Before he could finish, Neji rolled his eyes and fell down.

Of course, this is acting.

"Master Neji!" Hinata Dong hurriedly picked up Neji to check on him. It seemed that he had just fainted due to excessive pain.

"Master Neji, I'll take you home right now!"

Hinata Dong carried Neji's small body on his back and rushed towards the branch family's land.
