Chapter 76 Hyuga Lost Children
A bright moon was hanging quietly. When Otsutsuki Toneri and his father left the ninja world and returned to this lonely land, they saw a lifeless atmosphere.
"Father, we are back." Sheren whispered to himself, looking at the land below that was both familiar and unfamiliar, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Sheren's father: "Go back, I'm in the main hall. This body is actually a puppet." After saying that, the puppet's body dissipated.
Sheren was stunned, and then he stepped into the palace of the moon. A depressing and sad atmosphere hit him. The family territory that was prosperous yesterday was empty. Now it was a ruin. Among the broken walls, it seemed that the last wailing and despair of the clan members could still be heard. He quickened his pace, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"Father..." Sheren whispered, passing through the dilapidated corridors and finally arriving at the core area of the family. He saw his father lying quietly on the cold stone platform, surrounded by scattered relics and traces of unfinished battles. Sheren knelt beside his father, stroking his father's cold face with trembling hands, tears silently falling.
"Why... why is this happening?" He murmured to himself, his heart filled with confusion and anger. At this moment, a faint voice sounded in his mind. It was the last words left by his real father before his death yesterday, which was transmitted to him through some secret technique.
"Toneri, my child, when you see all this, I am no longer here. The fate of killing the branch family of the main family has not escaped the cycle of fate. But please remember, our mission is far from over. The power of the Samsara Eye is our last hope, and it is also the burden on your shoulders. The destiny of our ancestor Hamura, if the ninja world where the Six Paths Sage is located falls into chaos again and the Ten-Tails reappears, you must stand up and protect the balance of this world. Destroy it and rebuild it..."
As his father's last wish came to an end, a special green chakra was transmitted into Toner's brain, and the power of inheritance was inherited by Toner. Soon his Byakugan could not withstand this power and began to disappear. Countless memories flooded into his mind. Although he had lost his eyes, he could still see everything clearly.
Afterwards, Toneri followed the inherited memory to find the power hidden deep in the moon, the giant Samsara Eye. He had learned to fly, shuttled between the ruins, and finally came to the altar of Hamura in the artificial sun on the moon. On the altar, there were countless pairs of Byakugan. They were the Byakugan of the main family. The spoils of this branch family have now become nutrients to replenish the Samsara Eye.
As Sheren started the ancient ritual, a tremendous force began to surge. Those Byakugan flew up one by one, releasing dazzling light, and finally gathered into an unprecedented force, flying to the artificial sun on the moon and merging into the giant Rinnegan.
"Is this... the power of the Samsara Eye?" Arriving at the center of the artificial sun, Toneri felt the power of the giant Samsara Eye, and was shocked and terrified. He felt that he had a great responsibility, shouldering the destiny of his ancestor Hamura, and was responsible for monitoring the ninja world, destruction or rebirth. Only the people in the ninja world didn't know, and if they knew, they would definitely say that our war had nothing to do with you.
On the silent moon, Toneri sat alone, with the only thing beside him being the magnificent Rinnegan connected to him by a chakra bond. It seemed like a window to his soul, gazing at the distant and warm earth, which was full of vitality and emotion, yet out of reach.
Loneliness was like a heavy yoke, pressing on his heart, making him involuntarily recall the girl Hinata who once called him a "jerk". As for love, he knew nothing, all he wanted was to be able to communicate with others, but the yoke of fate bound him firmly in this cold moon realm.
In deep thought, Sheren remembered the ancient puppetry - a mysterious art that can give inanimate objects form and action. He felt an unprecedented urge in his heart, and decided to use the incredible power of the giant reincarnation eye he possessed to create a puppet that looked exactly like himself.
This puppet not only looks exactly like him, but can also perfectly transfer his consciousness to him. It follows the vague but profound memory path in Toneri's heart and embarks on the journey to the ninja world again.
With a slight wave of air, Toneri's puppet shuttled between the clouds in an elegant and silent manner. Its unique flying ability made it like a meteor in the night sky, quickly and accurately locating the edge of Konoha Village. Snowflakes were floating in the sky, but Konoha was in a period of rapid development and change at this time. The edge of the village had not yet been covered by a strict chakra barrier network. Instead, it was replaced by busy factories and the scene of construction in full swing, which did not stop at all because of the snow.
Toneri slowly lowered his altitude, and finally landed lightly in front of the magnificent mansion of the Hyuga clan. His arrival did not cause any commotion, but he deliberately let Hyuga Hiashi and others in the mansion sense his presence.
Following the subtle movements of the puppet's fingers, Toneri knocked gently on the heavy door of the Hyuga mansion in a respectful and polite manner, and the sound of the door hinges turning echoed in the quiet air.
The door slowly opened, and what came into view was the sharp eyes of Hyuga Hiashi. The majesty and power they exuded made people feel awe. Through the puppet's senses, Toneri adjusted his mentality and prepared for the next conversation.
"I am Sheren. Please forgive me for my intrusive visit." Sheren made a gentle and clear voice through the puppet, and bowed slightly to show respect.
Hinata Hiashi was slightly stunned, then came to his senses and looked at Toneri in front of him. "Toneri? You are..." Hinata Hiashi thought to himself, and soon remembered the so-called father and son who came to visit before, but soon regained his composure, "Please come in, we can sit down and talk in detail."
The two walked into the hall and sat down as host and guest. After a brief self-introduction, Toneri cleverly avoided the discussion about his real purpose. It was only a day since they last met, but after all, the memory inheritance was directly instilled, and naturally he matured a lot in an instant. His eyes inadvertently swept past Hyuga Hiashi, and he secretly calculated Hinata's situation in his heart, but Hinata said that he would talk about it after he could defeat her, and he couldn't do it now. Toneri said: "I came here this time because my whole family died, and Hinata is a member of the same bloodline as me, and I now hope to join the Hyuga clan."
Hearing this, Hinata Hiashi frowned slightly. He didn't know much about this suddenly appearing Toneri, especially since he left yesterday and saw him coming back today, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. But then he thought about it, Toneri was also a member of the Byakugan clan, and this blood bond made him unable to easily refuse.
"I will consider your request." Hinata Hiashi said after a moment's silence, "But there is one thing I want you to know. The Ninja School is about to start. Many young people, including my daughter Hinata, will embark on this path. If you really want to become a member of the Hyuga clan, you must join Konoha and serve Konoha. Then the Ninja School will be an indispensable starting point for you."
Hearing this, Toneri had an instinctive resistance to becoming a ninja, thinking that the ninja cognition established by the Sage of Six Paths was the root cause of the world's failure. But thinking of Hinata and looking at his peers, he felt that perhaps this was an opportunity to understand the world.
"I... I'm willing to try." After hesitating for a moment, Toneri finally made up his mind. He looked at Hyuga Hiashi, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation, "Please help me sign up so that I can have the opportunity to enter the ninja school."
Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi nodded and said, "Very good, Toneri, you can stay here first." He then called on the members of the branch family to arrange accommodation for Toneri. Then Hyuga Hiashi went to visit the Third Hokage to arrange matters related to his daughter and Toneri's admission to school. When Hyuga Hiashi came back again, he began to discuss some clan affairs with the clan elders and his brother Hyuga Hizashi.
Winter nights always come early, and it is especially cold in the Hyuga clan's territory. Snowflakes are like feathers falling from the sky, silently covering the entire courtyard, and covering this ancient mansion with a layer of silver. Hyuga Hanabi, because of her powerful and cold genius sister, has transformed into a girl who looks weak but is actually tough inside, and is experiencing the most turbulent moment of her life.
At night, the moonlight was thin, the stars were hidden, and only snowflakes slowly fell under the dim light, adding a bit of desolation to the quiet night. Hanabi was ready to go to bed, but her heart was difficult to calm down because of the conversation between the elder and Hinata Hiashi during the day. It was a kind of vague uneasiness, like an undercurrent that was about to surge, which she could not ignore. So, she walked out of the room lightly, trying to find a breath that could make her feel at ease.
In the courtyard, a thick layer of snow had accumulated, and when stepped on, it made a squeaking sound, breaking the surrounding tranquility. Hanabi walked aimlessly, and unknowingly came to the family meeting room. There, the lights were bright, and through the half-closed window lattices, she could vaguely see the solemn faces of the elders and the heavy figure of her father, Hinata Hiashi. Out of curiosity and an indescribable premonition, Hanabi quietly approached and put her ear to the cold window frame.
"Chief Rizu, it's time to perform the 'caged bird' ceremony for your second daughter, Hanabi." The elder's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a hammer, hitting Hanabi's heart. She clenched her fists, her nails dug deep into her palms, but the pain seemed to be numb, unable to hide the shock and despair in her heart.
"I know. This is a family tradition. I will abide by it and wait until her next birthday." Hinata Hiashi answered firmly, and his inner helplessness and struggle were never revealed.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but Hanabi tried hard not to let them fall. She thought of her sister, the girl who was known as the genius of the Hyuga clan. Her sister had outstanding talents and dazzling brilliance, and was the envy of everyone. However, in Hanabi's heart, the image of her sister was complex and contradictory. She remembered her sister's condescending and indifferent eyes towards her. Because her birthday was the anniversary of her mother's death, her sister's feelings towards her had always been complicated. Thinking of her sister's ruthlessness when she defeated her brother Neji in the arena, her sister always seemed to be standing high in the clouds, out of reach, which made Hanabi feel both envious and afraid.
As for Neji, the boy with the mark of "bird in a cage" on his forehead, his story is closely connected with Hanabi's. Hanabi has been able to feel the hatred and unwillingness of Neji since she was a child. It is the anger at the injustice of fate and the sadness of being unable to change it. Whenever she sees Neji's silent and tenacious figure, Hanabi can't help but think of her own future - whether she will also be engraved with the mark of "bird in a cage" like Neji.
Thinking of this, Hua Huo's heart seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock, making her breathless. She couldn't accept this fact, couldn't accept that she would be bound by such a twisted system. She wanted to resist, wanted to break free from this invisible shackle, but she didn't know where to start.
At this moment, Hanabi thought of her father and uncle. The same thing happened to Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi. Because of their early and late births, their uncle Hyuga Hizashi had to become a branch family, bearing a completely different fate from the main family. Hanabi once secretly asked her father why such a system existed and why brothers had to be separated like this. But her father just remained silent, with a barely perceptible sadness in his eyes.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, covering the whole world, and also covering the confusion and struggle in Hua Huo's heart. She was isolated in this boundless snow curtain, staring at the sky that was squeezed by the snow cornice and seemed particularly narrow. An unprecedented impulse surged into her heart like a tide - escape, escape from this home that bound her and made her feel suffocated.
The urge was so strong that Hanabi could hardly control herself. She took a deep breath and let the cold air fill her chest, as if it would give her the courage to escape. Then, she took a step forward resolutely, breaking the snow under her feet and breaking the shackles in her heart. She ran, letting the snowflakes hit her cheeks, interweaving with her tears, blurring her vision, but clarifying the direction in her heart.
