The Hyuga family has a hateful secret: the secret ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation in the Hyuga main family - the curse seal technique. The curse seal means a bird in a cage, which is the proof of being bound by an inescapable fate.

Hiashi and Neji's father Hiashi are twin brothers. Hiashi was born 15 minutes later than Hiashi. From then on, Hiashi became the main family and Hiashi became the branch family.

When Hinata Hyuga, the daughter of the head family, was three years old, the Hidden Cloud Village sneaked into Konoha to abduct Hinata in order to obtain the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Hiashi Hyuga fought back and took Hinata back. However, this led to the deterioration of the relationship between the two villages of Hidden Cloud and Konoha, which indirectly triggered the war.

In order to avoid war, Konoha made a deal with the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Cloud Village proposed that Konoha hand over the body of Hinata's father Hiashi. However, the old elders of the Hyuga clan proposed to hand over the body of Neji's father Hiashi as a substitute.

Originally, Hyuga Neji always thought that it was Hyuga Hiashi who pushed his father to death, but he didn't expect that the truth was that his father volunteered to be a substitute.

[Please tell Neji that I was not killed to protect the main family, but I died to protect my brother and the village.]

Hyuga Neji's hand holding the scroll couldn't stop shaking.

Unexpectedly, Hinata Hiashi actually knelt down in front of him, "This is the truth, I'm sorry!"

"Please raise your head..."

After Hyuga Hiashi left, Hyuga Neji didn't say anything. Looking at him being so unusually quiet, Haruko Zaoma couldn't help but hug him gently.

Hyuga Neji said: "I always thought that my father was killed by the brothers of the main family, but I didn't expect that this was the first and last time my father resisted fate."

Haruko Asama did not respond. As an outsider, she was not qualified to judge all this.

only……

The scene of Hyuga Neji taking off his Konoha forehead protector during the battle, revealing the blue curse seal on his forehead, remained in her mind forever.

When Hyuga Neji was four years old, an ominous mark was carved on his forehead by a curse-seal technique.

This is the fate of the branch family. They can never rebel against the main family and must protect the main family at all times and in the end, only death can bring them relief.

tick tock...tick tock...

Hyuga Neji hugged Haruko Hayabusa who was trying hard to hold back her tears, "Why are you crying? I didn't bully you this time."

"Because... because... the main family is really too much!" Morning Haruko hugged him tightly, "Why do they restrict your fate and even pretend to feel guilty in the end!"

"Because they are the main family..."

"But Neji is obviously more talented than them, and will be more powerful than them in the future. Why do you ask you to not only forgive them but also continue to protect them?!"

Listening to Haruko's endless complaints in the morning, Hyuga Neji was able to understand how Tenten felt when she complained to him after being bullied. It strangely warmed his heart, and he couldn't help but want to protect her and make her smile.

Hyuga Neji pushed her away slightly and raised his hand to wipe away the tears that she couldn't stop flowing.

"Okay, it's okay." Hyuga Neji clumsily imitated Tenten to comfort her.

Haruko glared at him as if to say that he should be the one in trouble.

Hyuga Neji couldn't help but laugh, "I will never forgive the main family. I will try my best, even if it costs me my whole life, I will open the cage and fly freely."

"Okay! Then I will stay with you and witness the day when you fully spread your wings!"

Looking at her with tears on her face, but smiling happily because of what he said, Hyuga Neji thought:

Father, is human destiny just like the clouds in the sky, drifting with the flow and simply floating there?

Or... being able to choose the direction you want to pursue?

I still don’t quite understand it, but it seems like when you choose the latter method of survival you are working towards a goal.

Father, I have only one goal, which is to be stronger than anyone and not lose to anyone.

And then…flying in her gaze.

When Haruko rushed back to the lounge in the morning, she found that Uchiha Sasuke still hadn't arrived. Everyone was worried that he would be disqualified, but they didn't expect that the invigilator would announce the postponement of his competition after receiving the notice.

"The next match will be between Morning Haruko and Aburame Shino."

Haruko, who was inexplicably brought forward to the morning scene: How can I put it, I am happy for Sasuke, but I also want to beat Sasuke up.

Before leaving the stage, Haruko Asama glanced at Shino Aburame, and he happened to look at her as well.

Nara Shikamaru patted her shoulder, drawing the attention of Morning Haruko.

"Come on, idiot, don't lose more miserably than me."

"Of course! I will try my best, Shikamaru!" Haruko cheered herself up in the morning.

Uzumaki Naruto also ran over, "Haruko, you will definitely win!"

As for Gaara, I don’t know if it was because there were too many people around Haruko in the morning, so he didn’t go up to talk to her.

Haruko Hayama stood in the public eye, facing Shino Aburame with her hands in her pockets. When the invigilator walked between them, Haruko Hayama felt like she was going to die of nervousness.

To be honest, Haruko Hayama has never liked things like bugs, snakes, and spiders. When she first met Orochimaru, she prayed that she would never meet such people again.

I didn’t expect this, fate is such a joke!

So, after learning that her opponent was Aburame Shino, who was good at controlling insects, in order to avoid being scared by insects and running around the field during the battle, Haruko went to check the enemy's situation before the formal exam.

Because Hyuga Hinata is still recovering from her injuries, only Inuzuka Kiba accompanies Aburame Shino in special training in the forest.

"But, that gaze is indeed hard to ignore." Inuzuka Kiba said helplessly as he looked at Akamaru who was sniffing the whole time.

Aburame Shino didn't answer, his bugs had already spotted the enemy.

It was Haruko Asagumi who was about to fight with him. She was hiding in the bushes stealthily, but seemed to be always looking at... the bugs on his body?

"It's Haruko Asahi," Aburame Shino told him quietly.

"Are you here to spy on the enemy?" Inuzuka Kiba was a little unhappy, "Akamaru, go!"

Akamaru received the order and rushed towards where Haruko Hayama was.

Immediately a sound was heard from the bushes.

"Wait a minute, Akamaru... Wow! Akamaru you're so cute, come here and let your sister touch you!"

"Ouch——!"

"Don't run, Akamaru! My sister isn't some weird person!"

too weird!

Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino thought to themselves.

After a while, Akamaru ran back from the bushes, followed by Haruko Zaoma who was seduced by the fluffy thing.

Staring at the gaze from the opposite side that could not be ignored, Haruko Zaoma felt a little embarrassed, which was rare for her.

"Hahaha, you guys are here too, what a coincidence..."

Inuzuka Kiba asked directly: "What do you want?"

Haruko Asama jabbed her hand sheepishly, "That's the one...can I come and see Aburame-san's bugs?"

"Huh?" Inuzuka Kiba was surprised. He didn't expect that this girl was so pretty and had such unique interests.

Asahi Haruko couldn't stand the look in his eyes, so she just said it out loud: "Actually, I'm a little afraid of bugs, so I thought I'd come and see Aburame's bugs more often to get some desensitization treatment!"

"Okay." Aburame Shino didn't think it was a big deal.

"Hey are you serious?"

Inuzuka Kiba poked Aburame Shino with his elbow. After all, they were rivals, and this was the first time he saw someone helping his opponent find ways to defeat him.

"Aburame-san is such a kind person!" said Haruko Hayama with emotion.
