Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Not long after, Orochimaru smiled and gave an answer that finally put Tobirama's heart at ease.

"Success."

Then, Orochimaru summoned a python directly to swallow the prisoner's body.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Orochimaru directly used it to feed the snake.

……

Not long after, Orochimaru and Tobirama appeared in the living room of Hyuga Hiashi's residence.

Hinata Hiashi looked at Orochimaru excitedly but nervously, but because Tobirama was also here, he subconsciously felt a little restrained.

"Master Nidaime, why are you here too?"

Tobirama looked at Hyuga Hiashi in front of him. It was really not easy for the Hyuga family to have such a different guy who wanted to liberate the clan.

If the Hyuga clan continued in its previous state, it would probably be destroyed within a few decades.

"I just came to see how Hinata is doing now. You don't have to be so reserved."

"Besides, I'm not the Hokage anymore."

"As the Hokage's assistant, your nominal position is higher than mine. Why should you be so reserved?"

When Hinata Hiashi heard what Tobirama said, he wanted to complain in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud in the end.

Not to mention the great contributions you have made to Konoha, such as founding the Anbu, the Police Department, establishing the ninja teaching system, establishing the ninja rating system, and developing a bunch of forbidden techniques.

In addition, your eldest brother was the former Ninja God Hashirama, the First Hokage, you are the Second Hokage, your great-niece is the current Fifth Hokage, my immediate superior, your great-niece's husband is the strongest man in the Ninja World, the President of the Ninja Association and the Assistant Hokage.

Not to mention that you yourself have great strength and are known as the man who made a contract with the sea.

Even if I, Hyuga Hiashi, were to have the guts to do so, I would never dare to disrespect you.

"Ahem, I understand, Master Tobirama."

"Why are you two here today..."

Rizu's tone dragged out a bit and gradually died away at the end. He felt both anticipation and fear in his heart.

He was looking forward to good news from Orochimaru, but was also worried about bad news.

After all, three years had passed, and he had sponsored Orochimaru several times in succession. He even went against his ancestral teachings and secretly provided Orochimaru with the Byakugan of the deceased clan from the ancestral hall without the knowledge of the clan elders.

If he failed to develop the ninjutsu to crack the bird in the cage, and his idea of ​​cracking the Byakugan was exposed, he would inevitably be impeached and demoted by other main families.

His two daughters, Hinata and Hanabi, and himself, will be sealed as birds in a cage.

"Don't worry, Chief Rizu. It's about the bird in the cage."

"With the help of Tobirama-sama, it has been resolved."

As he spoke, Orochimaru turned his wrist and revealed a dark blue scroll.

The moment he heard Orochimaru's words, Hiashi no longer cared about etiquette and directly took the scroll from Orochimaru's hand. He saw the four words written on the scroll at a glance.

"Pure Eye Seal."

Afterwards, he couldn't wait to open the scroll. As he looked at its contents, his brows relaxed continuously, and tears unconsciously began to moisten, sliding down his cheeks.

He didn't close the scroll until he had finished reading everything on it, his voice choked and trembling.

"Hizashi..."

"I finally found a way to set you free..."

Tobirama looked at Hiashi's current appearance and didn't know what to say, but he still opened his mouth to remind him.

"Hiashi, the casting of the Pure Eye Seal is extremely challenging for the caster's ability to control chakra."

"This shouldn't be a difficult task for you Hyuga clan."

"But those old guys from your Hyuga clan may not agree with this plan."

"I will ask Tsunade to issue a mission soon and assign people from your Hyuga clan to carry it out."

"Find someone you trust and have him learn this technique. First, remove the caged bird curse from some of the people. Only then will you have the power to fight against those stubborn old men."

"After all, this is an internal matter of your ninja clan. Unless it is a critical moment, it is not convenient for the village to take action. I think you should understand what I mean."

Tobirama's reminder made Hiashi's expression serious again, and he began to think about this problem.

"Master Tobirama, you are right. I understand."

"Now is not the time to be happy, as long as there is still a member of the branch family who has the curse mark of the caged bird on his forehead."

"I can't take it lightly."

Then, not long after, Tobirama and Orochimaru left Hyuga Hiashi's mansion, leaving Hyuga Hiashi alone in the living room.

He walked to the door and looked up at the sky.

"Today's sky is exceptionally clear..."

……

It was midnight and Hyuga Neji was sleeping on his couch, but suddenly, a familiar breath appeared in the room.

Neji stood up immediately, his Byakugan activated instantly, his veins bulged, and he looked ahead vigilantly.

But the moment he saw the other person's face clearly, he was very surprised.

"Master Patriarch!?"

"How did you...?"

Hiashi walked to Neji's bed and sat down slowly. He felt a little pain in his heart when he heard what Neji called him just now.

"Ningji, you don't have to call me clan leader. I'm your uncle, so just call me uncle."

Neji was a little confused by what Hyuga Hiashi said.

So why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and you come up to me wanting to chat about family matters? Do you just want me to call you uncle?

But Neji still shouted out somewhat stiffly.

"Um...Uncle, why do you come to see me at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Neji's words made Hiashi feel much better. He hadn't heard this name from Neji's mouth for almost ten years.

Even though he had told him the truth about Hizashi's death when he brought him back from the Root, the relationship between them was still a little strained.

"Ningji, you're the only person I can trust right now in the branch family."

"You are Hizashi's child. You must not tell anyone about the next mission, and you must pretend that nothing happened on weekdays."

"This concerns the future and survival of our clan."

Hiashi's words made Neji subconsciously nervous. Although he was full of disgust towards the head of this family, except for Hiashi, Hinata, and Hanabi.

He didn't know what kind of crisis would threaten the future and survival of the Hyuga clan.

"Orochimaru and Tobirama-sama told me today how to remove the seal on the caged bird."

As he spoke, Hiashi took out the scroll containing the copy of the Pure Eye Seal and handed it to Neji.

"This contains a seal that can cover the caged bird curse - the Pure Eye Seal."

"This technique can remove the seal engraved on the brain of the caged bird, and also remove the curse mark on the Byakugan. It can also reopen the blind spots of the sealed Byakugan of the branch family, restoring it to its original state."

"In the afternoon, I went to Konoha Prison to conduct experiments on death row prisoners. I wonder if you are willing to..."

"I do!!!" Before Hizashi could finish his words, Neji expressed his true thoughts with a sincere face and tears in his eyes.
